Giffords visits hometown
R
ep. Gabrielle Giffords lost little
time after her release from the
hospital in returning to her hometown,
visiting Tucson for Fathers Day for the
first time since shortly after she was
gravely wounded in a shooting ram-
page in January.
Weve been dreaming of this trip for
some time, Giffords astronaut hus-
band, Mark Kelly, said in a news re-
lease Friday. Gabby misses Tucson
very much and her doctors have said
that returning to her hometown could
play an important role in her recovery.
Kelly said the trip is sure to be very
emotional and hopes the news media
respects their privacy.
Giffords spokesman C.J. Karamargin
said the Democratic congresswoman
traveled by private plane from Houston
to Tucson with Kelly and one of his
daughters and shell spend Fathers
Day weekend with her family.
ORLANDO, FLA.
Testimony: Autopsy shoddy
A renowned forensic expert testified
Saturday that the autopsy done on
2-year-old Caylee Anthony was shod-
dy and that the duct tape Florida
prosecutors contend suffocated the
child was not applied until after her
body had decomposed.
Dr. Werner Spitz offered his opinion
on the third day of the defenses case in
the murder trial of Casey Anthony, the
Florida mother charged with murder in
Caylees death. The state rested its case
earlier in the week.
Spitz has been an expert witness in
several high-profile cases, including
that of O.J. Simpson. Spitz also testi-
fied it was a failure that Caylees skull
was not opened during the official
autopsy. Spitz conducted a second
autopsy later.
The head is part of the body and
when you do an examination, you
examine the whole body, Spitz said.
... That to me is a signal of a shoddy
autopsy.
WARSAW, POLAND
Air show plane crashes
A small plane lost control and
plunged into a river Saturday as it
performed stunts at an air show in
Plock, Poland.
The news station TVN24 broadcast
images of the small plane doing aero-
batics when it began spewing out
plumes of dark smoke and then
plunged into the Vistula River.
Rescue workers pulled the pilot from
the wreckage and tried to resuscitate
him before sending him to a hospital. It
was not immediately clear if he sur-
vived.
MORELIA, MEXICO
Nine bodies discovered
Mexican authorities said Saturday
the bodies of nine victims of suspected
drug violence have turned up in the
western state of Michoacan.
The state prosecutors office said in a
statement that authorities found eight
bodies in three different areas of the
port city of Lazaro Cardenas. Three of
the cadavers had been dumped in front
of the state public security agency.
Another body was found in the state
capital of Morelia.
Several of the still unidentified bod-
ies were discovered with messages
from the Knights Templar and claiming
responsibility for the killings. The
violence is due to a rupture in the La
Familia crime organization after the
gangs leader, Nazario Moreno, was
killed in a shootout with police Dec. 9.

KABUL, Afghanistan President
Hamid Karzai acknowledged Saturday
that the U.S. and Afghan governments
have held talks with Taliban emissaries
ina bidtoendthenations nearly10-year
war, even as suicide attackers launched
a bold assault in the heart of the coun-
tys capital, killing nine people.
The attack, which occurred just
blocks from Karzais office, shows the
parties have a long way to go to reach a
political settlement as the Obama ad-
ministrationweighs a major withdrawal
of its forces. The White House neither
directly confirmed or denied Karzais
statement.
Three men wearing camouflage fa-
tigues that are frequently worn by Af-
ghan soldiers stormed a police station
near the presidential palace, with one of
themdetonating an explosives vest just
outside the gates as two others rushed
inside and began firing, an Interior Min-
istry statement said.
The crackle of gunfire echoed
through the usually bustling streets for
about two hours before security forces
killed the two remaining attackers. In-
surgents killed three police officers, one
intelligence agent and five civilians in
the attack, according to the ministry
statement.
Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Muja-
hid claimed responsibility for the attack
in a text message to The Associated
Press.
Attacks in the Afghan capital have
been relatively rare, although violence
has increased since the May 2 killing of
Osama bin Laden in a U.S. raid in Pakis-
tan and the start of the Talibans annual
spring offensive.
The last major attack in Kabul took
place last monthwhena suicide bomber
wearing an Afghan police uniform infil-
trated the main Afghan military hospi-
tal in late May, killing six medical stu-
dents. Amonth before that, a suicide at-
tacker in an army uniformsneaked past
security at the Afghan Defense Minis-
try, killing three.
Kabul is one of seven areas scheduled
to beginto be handedover to Afghanse-
curity control in July.
Karzai confirms peace talks held
Afghan president said his
government and U.S. hope to end
nations nearly 10-year war.

CHICAGOAfive-hour com-
puter outage that virtually shut
down United Airlines Friday
night andearlySaturdayis a stark
reminder of how dependent air-
lines have become ontechnology.
Passengers saw their flight in-
formation vanish from airport
screens, and thousands were
stranded as United canceled 31
flights and de-
layed105 world-
wide.
The airline
still had no ex-
planation for
the outage Sat-
urday after-
noon. But
things could
havebeenmuch
worse.
A blizzard in
the Northeast
wiped out more
than 10,000
flights over three days in Decem-
ber, and a mid-January storm led
airlines to cancel nearly 9,000
flights.
Fridays shutdown occurred
late enough in the day that many
of the canceled flights were the
last planes out for the day, said
Henry Harteveldt, an airline ana-
lyst with Forrester Research. On
a Monday morning, the results
could have been catastrophic.
It happened as a lot of the air-
line was going to sleep for the
night, Harteveldt said.
That doesnt mean affected
travelers were happy.
Im just amazed at how cata-
strophic the failure was, said Ja-
son Huggins, 35, who was trying
to fly home to Chicago after a
week working at his software
companys San Francisco head-
quarters. All the computer
screens were blank, just showing
the United logo.
Huggins paid $1,200 to book
one of the last three seats left on
an American Airlines flight
home.
Airplanes are flying fuller this
summer. Uniteds were 86.8 per-
cent booked on average in May.

way, and its time for
New York to lead the
way once again.
The effort carries
some political peril but
could be potentially re-
warding, givenevolving
public sentiment ongay
rights in New York and
the nation.
It looks like a profile in courage, and
maybe it is, said Larry Sabato, director
of the Center for Politics at the University
of Virginia. But it also may be politically
smart in the long run.
Cuomos support for gay rights is al-
ready known to New York voters. His ef-
forts this past weektoget the bill through
the Republican-controlled state Senate

good on an issue he ran on last year. Dur-
ALBANY, N.Y. Gov. AndrewCuomo
has become a prominent champion of le-
galized gay marriage, pushing his state
intothecenter of thenational debateover
an emotional and divisive issue.
Inthe past week, the Democrat has per-
sonallylobbiedwaveringRepublicanlaw-
makers andhas saidthe extensionof mar-
riage rights to gays andlesbians is a mat-
ter of principle, not politics.
This state has a proud tradition and a
proud legacy as the progressive capital of
the nation, he said Friday. We led the
ing that campaign, he took his daughters
to a gay pride parade in New York City,
drawing sharp criticism from his Repub-
lican opponent.
The governor is putting skin in the
game and has a steadfast commitment to
the issue, said Kevin Nix of the Human
Rights Campaign, a gay rights group.
As a purely political matter, advocating
for gay marriage makes sense for Demo-
crats in a state like New York, where gay
groups are players in party politics. Cuo-
mos lobbying, coming after he pushed
througha fiscallyconservative budget, al-
so could burnish his image among liber-
als. Cuomo is an astute politician who
was a keyplayer inhis father Marios cam-
paigns for New York governor three dec-
ades ago.
Polls have shownthat more thanhalf of
voters inNewYorksupport gay marriage.

TRIPOLI, Libya NATO hit back
against Moammar Gadhafis defianceSat-
urday, sayingthe Libyanleader is brutal-
ly attacking his people and using
mosques and childrens parks as shields
for his military operations.
At least two explo-
sions also shook Tripoli
as NATO jets soared
above the capital, hours
after Gadhafi lashedout
against airstrikes late
Friday in a speech, in-
sisting NATO will be
defeated. It was not
immediately clear what had been hit or if
any casualties were reported.
InBrussels onSaturday, NATOspokes-
woman Oana Lungescu dismissed Gad-
hafis speech as outrageous.
The alliance, which has a mandate to
protect civilians, has beenrampingupthe
pressure on Gadhafis regime as a four-
month uprising devolved into a civil war.
Though most airstrikes happen under
cover of darkness, daytime raids have
grown more frequent.
Libyas Health Ministry released new
casualty figures that put the number of ci-
vilians purportedly killed in NATO air-
strikes through June 7 at 856. The figure
could not be independently verified, and
government-announced tolls from indi-
vidual strikes were exaggerated.

HARRISBURG A short
discussion, a unanimous vote
and the deed was done the
Senate Environmental Re-
sources and Energy Commit-
tee sent to the floor of the Leg-
islature a bill to extract tens of
millions of dollars annually
fromnatural gas drilling on the
rich Marcellus Shale forma-
tion,
Tuesdays action all but
guarantees that debate over
the white-hot issue will open
perhaps as early as next
week as legislative leaders
and Gov. Tom Corbett enter
the endgame of negotiations
over a deficit-threatened state
budget for the year starting Ju-
ly 1.
Whether the drilling and
budget debates will intersect is
unclear. But at least a dozen
bills are pending a smorgas-
bord of taxes and fees pro-
posed by members of both par-
ties in both houses and
there appears to be bipartisan,
majority support in both cham-
bers for some tax or a more
limited impact fee on the
drilling activity that is rapidly
expanding across northern and
western Pennsylvania.
Right now, its a feeding
frenzy, said Sen. Mary Jo
White, the
committees
chairwoman
and author of
an amend-
ment that the
panel at-
tached to Sen-
ate President
Pro Tempore Joe Scarnatis im-
pact-fee bill before sending it
to the floor.
A poll released this week by
Connecticut-based Quinnipiac
University indicated that two
out of three Pennsylvanians
support the natural gas indus-
try for the economic benefits it
provides to some of the states
most economically disadvan-
taged communities. A January
poll commissioned by the
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
showed about the same pro-
portion favoring a tax on drill-
ing.
Corbett, a Republican in his
first year as governor, has
ruled out a broad tax on drill-
ing that would raise revenue
for other state programs on the
grounds that it would stifle the
industrys growth. But he has
said he would consider an im-
pact fee that primarily helps
municipalities pay for road re-
pairs and other work related to
the effect of local drilling.
The governor, who promised
as a candidate not to raise any
state taxes, wants to put off
any decision until after July 22
several weeks after lawmak-
ers typically have approved the
budget and left the Capitol for
the summer so he can weigh
the findings of his Marcellus
Shale Advisory Commission.
An impact fee is not a part
of this budget, said Corbett
spokesman Kevin Harley, par-
aphrasing his boss and echoing
House Republican leaders.
Scarnati, the ranking Repub-
lican senator and a key player
in the budget talks, believes
postponing action may be po-
litically impossible.
Noting that painful budget
cuts are inevitable in a year in
which state faces a prospective
$4 billion shortfall, Scarnati
summed up many legislators
attitude as, Were not going to
go home cutting programs and
not levying a fee on this indus-
try.
Scarnati, R-Jefferson, said
the drilling debate should be
separate from the budget. Oth-
erwise, he said, lawmakers
may press their drilling pro-
posals as amendments to the
fiscal code bill a companion
to the budget bill that tells
state agencies how to spend
their appropriations and
disrupt the budget process.
Its fine to say were going to
wait until July 22, but I dont
think the Democrats and some
Republicans see that date as
magic, he said.
Rep. Joe Markosek, the rank-
ing Democrat on the House
Appropriations Committee,
said leaders of the minority
party are keeping their options
open, but could support a rea-
sonable tax or fee with the rev-
enues supporting local govern-
ments and environmental pro-
tection
Youre only going to get one
bite of the apple at that issue,
the Allegheny County lawmak-
er said, so it has to be some-
thing that is very reasonable.
Rep. Kate Harper said she in-
cluded a provision in her sever-
ance tax bill that reduces the
rate for new wells in response
to Corbetts concern about tax-
es hurting the industry.
Were not trying to fight
with him, she said. What
were trying to do is find a solu-
tion that he finds acceptable.
The Montgomery County
Republican said linking the
drilling issue to the budget
makes sense.
Deadlines are good and the
budget is a natural deadline for
getting other things done as
well, she said. All the moving
pieces are in play.

SHANKSVILLE The Flight
93 National Memorial is close to
beingfinishedintime for the10th
anniversary of the Sept. 11 at-
tacks, including a long, white
marble wall bearing the names of
the 40 passengers and crew who
perishedwhenthe plane crashed.
Visitors will be able to follow a
walkway just over 100 yards away
from where the plane crashed.
The design features dark con-
crete paths anda long, white mar-
ble wall inscribedwiththe names
of the 40 passengers and crew
who died.
Its intended to be a memorial
site, andfocus ontheir actions, as
opposed to try and re-create an
historical event, saidKeithNew-
lin, park service superintendent
for Western Pennsylvania. They
werefightingover theskies for 35
minutes before they came to this
site. Their resting place is here.
Flight 93 was traveling from
Newark, N.J., to San Francisco
when it was hijacked with the
likely goal of crashing into the
White House or Capitol building,
the 9/11 Commission found.
According to family members
in cell phone contact with pas-
sengers, those aboard tried to
overpower the hijackers. But the
plane crashed into a field near ru-
ral Shanksville, about 65 miles
southeast of Pittsburgh. Newlin
said the Flight 93 Memorial uses
a fewbasic materials. Its intend-
ed to give people a healing expe-
rience, he said.

NANTICOKE Wearing a vin-
tage pink and gold beaded gown
with a giant stuffed flamingo on
her head, Anne Holmes stepped
out in style during the American
Cancer Societys Relay for Life at
Luzerne County Community
College Saturday.
Holmes, a professor in the
Health and Physical Education
Department at the college, said
she wore the zany hat in memory
of her friend Claire Mulrooney,
who died from cancer several
years ago.
She used to flock people,
Holmes said, referring to the
prank of planting flocks of plastic
pink flamingos in friends front
lawns. She was one of the fun-
niest people I knewand the dear-
est of friends, Holmes, 50, said.
Her fellow members of the
Walking Divas team sported
feather boas, flowery hats and tu-
tus. I call this my garden hat,
said fellow LCCC employee and
team member, Machelle Smith,
50, sporting a faded rose lace cap
and a black and fuchsia apron.
The Walking Divas were
among the nearly 200 LCCCstaff
members, students, and mem-
bers of the community who took
part in the 24-hour walk in the
parking lot of the Advanced
Technology and Educational
Conference Centers. Were
walking for family and friends
who have died from cancer and
those who are facing the chal-
lenge right now, said Holmes.
The walkers were divided into
seven groups, some with as
many as 30 members. The goal
is to have someone on the track
for 24 hours, said event organiz-
er Maureen Ryneski, a director
in the colleges Academic Affairs
department. To keep the walkers
energized, a number of fun activ-
ities were planned during the
laps. Local businesses also do-
nated pizza and prizes for the
walkers. As of Saturday morning,
the event raised nearly $8,000.
I feel great, said cancer survi-
vor John Murray, 54, of Dallas.
After he underwent surgery last
year to remove a tumor from his
liver, he was back at work a
month later. Murray, a father of
seven, is an occupational ther-
apist and operates Gem Ther-
apeutics in Dallas with his broth-
er Joseph. His wife, Dianne, 46,
said their family has been
blessed with help fromthe Amer-
ican Cancer Society, their church
and the Back Mountain commu-
nity. Upon receiving the diagnos-
is, Dianne said her husbands
doctors said the options were
limited, but to be hopeful.
Thats what we hung onto, she
said.
Fellow survivor Jane Rosentel,
58, of Forty Fort, was diagnosed
with uterine cancer five years
ago, and is in remission. I feel
absolutely wonderful, she said.
The last thing you want to hear
is a cancer diagnosis, its so
frightening, she said. Rosentel,
a corporate sales team leader for
Pride Mobility, commended her
oncologist, Dr. Bruce Saidman
and her gynecologist, Dr. Mi-
chael Ferraro. They got me on
the right course. She also turn-
edto the AmericanCancer Socie-
ty for help. Many times I was
scared and I called the hotline,
she said. They gave me the in-
formation I needed.
The first Relay for Life event
was held in 1985 in Tacoma,
Wash. Since then it has become
an international fundraising and
awareness event to save lives
from cancer.
Tom Leary, LCCC president,
said this is the first year the cam-
pus sponsored the event and he
hopes it will become an annual
tradition. It is about those who
have lost lives, survivors and
those who have yet to be diag-
nosed, he said. Its about care-
givers and their families. These
are the people we are walking for
today.
Cancer walk at LCCC a tribute to hope and fortitude
Survivors and people who just
want to help walk to raise
funds and buoy spirits.

zerne County Community College in Nanticoke.
WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama and House Speak-
er John Boehner put partisanship
aside, at least on the golf course,
and teamed up to triumph on the
final hole Saturday in their long-
awaited links outing.
Thematchpittedthepolitical ri-
vals against Vice President Joe Bi-
den and Ohios Republican Gov.
John Kasich. The match was won
on the18th hole, with the winning
partners each pocketing a $2
prize.
The question now is whether a
partnership forged on the tees,
fairways and greens of a military
base course can yield success in
the policy arena. Obama and
Boehner find themselves on oppo-
site sides of everything from def-
icit reduction to the military cam-
paign in Libya.
Aides to both men played down
the chances of deals being struck
on the par-72 East Course at Joint
Base Andrews, but acknowledged
the outing could improve a rela-
tionship that is respectful, but
hardly close.
Tee time for the foursome was
9:30 a.m. at Obamas home course
at the base outside Washington.
The White House made a rare
exceptionandallowedthepress to
watchObamaandhisplayingpart-
ners finish the first hole, a par 5.
Biden was cool under pressure,
sinking a 15- to 20-foot putt.
Didyouall catchthat? Obama
shouted to reporters gathered
near the green.
The president, dressed in dark
pants, a white polo shirt and a
baseball cap, putted for par, tap-
pingina short shot after missinga
12-footer.
Kasich, a former congressman,
missed a 30-footer, then tapped in
for par. Boehner, one of the best
golfers in Congress, gave a hearty
Oh yeah! after draining a short
putt.
Obama, who is not in Boehners
links league, pattedthespeaker on
the back as they headed toward
the second hole, the president
driving their cart.
After wrapping up the match,
the foursome headed to the club-
house, wheretheyhadacolddrink
and talked with service members.
They also caught some action at
the U.S. Open, the professional
tournament going on in suburban
Maryland.
While Obama is an avid golfer,
he rarely plays with anyone out-
side of his small cadre of close
aides. His rounds runlong, usually
well over five hours, and those
close tothe president sayhe revels
inthechancetoget out of thespot-
light.
Obamas penchant for privacy
extends to his social life. He sur-
rounds himself with a tight inner
circle of family and friends, and
rarely socializes withother politic-
ians in Washington. In fact, Satur-
days golf outing was one of the
first times Obama and Boehner
have gotten together for anything
other than a policy meeting.
White House spokesman Jay
Carney said earlier in the week
that the outing was meant to be
anopportunityfor thespeaker and
the president, as well as the vice
president and Ohio governor, to
have a conversation, tosocialize in
a way that so rarely happens in
Washington.
The Obama-Boehner golf out-
ing coincided with White House
and congressional negotiations on
a long-term deficit reduction plan
and raising the governments bor-
rowing authority. Republicans
have insisted on significant cuts of
about $2trillionover10years or12
years before agreeing to increase
the current $14.3 debt ceiling,
which the government says it will
surpass Aug. 2.
Aides for both men tried to low-
er expectations that a deal on the
deficit or anything else, for that
matter wouldbereachedonthe
course. But it couldnt hurt.
It maymoveyoualittlebit clos-
er toward the kind of compromise
that we need to get the things
done that the Americanpeople ex-
pect us to get done, Carney said.
If it takes a few hours out on the
golf course to help that process, I
think its a worthwhile thing to
do.

morning when I realized the

store operators may want to sit
down for this one if they can
find a chair.
Nearly every national chain is
under legal attack in California
for failing to provide suitable
seating for cashiers and other
employees who are expected to
spend most of their work day on
their feet.
Enterprising trial attorneys by
the dozen are using an obscure
California labor law requiring re-
tailers such as Wal-Mart, Home
Depot and Target to have enough
seats on hand for their workers.
Superficially, the allegations
appear to be little more than a
nuisance.
But armed with two recent ap-
pellate decisions that allowwork-
ers and their lawyers to use Cali-
fornias novel private attorney
general provision, the retailers
are facing millions of dollars in
damages. A first violation calls
for as muchas $100 per employee
per pay period and double that
for subsequent violations.
Lawyers say those penalties
add up for big-box retailers that
employ hundreds of thousands of
Californians.
We are really in unchartered
waters, said Eric Steinert, an at-
torney who represents several of
the retailers. But theres no
doubt theres a wave of lawsuits
being filed. You are seeing some
attorneys moving into this area
who previously didnt pay atten-
tion to workplace issues.
Steinert said some of the first
lawsuits were filed in 2009 and
are based on an obscure provi-
sion of the labor code referring to
an order issued by the Industrial
Welfare Commission.
All working employees shall
be provided with suitable seats
when the nature of the work rea-
sonably permits the use of seats,
the provision states. When em-
ployees are not engaged in the
duties of their employment and
the nature of the work requires
standing, an adequate number of
suitable seats shall be placed in
reasonable proximity to the work
area and the employees shall be
permitted to use such seats when
it does not interfere with the per-
formance of their duties.
The first of the two key appel-
late decisions turningthat phrase
into lawwas issued in November.
The stampede to the courthouse
beganshortlyafterward. Lawyers
predict that more than 100 such
lawsuits have been filed through-
out the state.
The first appellate ruling over-
turned a lower courts decision
tossing out Eugenia Brights law-
suit against 99Cents OnlyStores.

manager.
So Barletta is one of the ones
were excited about when it
comes to new lawmakers taking
the field for the congressional
baseball game, he said.
GOP vs. Democrats
Along with partisan politics
and arguing over the budget and
issues such as immigration,
health care and climate change, a
consuming passion on Capitol
Hill is the annual congressional
baseball game pitting a team of
Republican lawmakers against a
squad of Democratic lawmakers.
The main sponsor is Roll Call,
a Capitol Hill newspaper, and a
raft of corporations and trade as-
sociations also contribute money
and equipment for a game that
last year raised $150,000 for char-
ity andthis year couldapproacha
$200,000 haul for the Washing-
ton Literacy Council and D.C.
Boys and Girls Clubs.
This years game is the 50than-
niversary of the modern version
of the congressional baseball
game though the contest dates
backto1909 andwill be heldJu-
ly 14 at Nationals Park, the home
to Washingtons Major League
Baseball team.
But while lawmakers are proud
of raising money for charity, they
dont leave their competitive in-
stincts at the ballot box or on the
House floor when they take the
field.
Republicans point out that
they have won a majority of the
games over timebut Democrats
crow that they have won two in a
rowand that a win this year gains
themthe Roll Call Trophy, which
goes tothewinningteaminarun-
ning best-of-five game series, and
is quickly paraded around the
House floor following a series-
winning game.
Getting in lineup
Barletta notes that though he
was an outfielder in his youth at
Hazleton High School and Lu-
zerne County Community Col-
lege, hes happy to take the
mound and willing to limp
through 7 a.m. practices if thats
what it takes to make the starting
lineup on a teamwith a 45-player
roster.
Making the starting lineup
could be tougher than getting to
Congress, Barletta quipped
while he stretched his aching
muscles before Wednesdays
practice. Its no surprise that
these guys are so competitive be-
cause they didnt get here by not
being competitive. Thats why I
am going to play hurt. I have my
legall wrappedup. I dont want to
lose my position. There are too
many competitive guys here
waiting for me to go down.
Barletta acknowledges a cer-
tain amount of teasing out on the
House floor about expectations
for what he can contribute to the
GOP teams effort.
The only problemwith that is
you cant bring your scrapbook
up to home plate with you, Bar-
letta said. That was a long time
ago and I can see some of my
skills have deteriorated over the
years. Eyes arent as good, backs
sore, lot of aches and pains the
next day. I have taken more Aleve
since we startedbaseball practice
than I have in years. The problem
here is my mind is still 21, but my
body is 55.
Thinking about his days as a
baseball player, Barletta admits
to some regrets. He poured him-
self intothetryout inTampa, Fla.,
with the Cincinnati Reds in Feb-
ruary 1977, but the Reds major
league team and entire farm sys-
tem were chock-full of outfiel-
ders, andthe Reds didnt signany
of the 65 players at that tryout,
Barletta recalls.
Lous glory days
The Reds organization, noting
his speed, encouraged him to at-
tend walk-on tryouts with what
were then MLB expansion teams
inSeattle andToronto, but, after
the tryout I was disappointedand
I just went home, Barletta said,
adding that he was a newlywed
and decided it was time to go to
work.
I really put everything into
this tryout, Barletta said. You
know, you think you are good un-
til you see kids from all around
the country.
After practice Wednesday, still
walking gingerly despite all his
stretching, Barletta seemedsatis-
fied yet realistic about getting
back out on the field for the con-
gressional baseball game.
Laughing, he quoted from a
popular Toby Keith country
song: I aint as good as I once
was, but Im as good once as I ev-
er was.

That was a long time ago and I can
see some of my skills have deterio-
rated over the years. Eyes arent as

WILKES-BARRE A Ha-
zleton man pleaded guilty
Thursday to charges relating
to his role in robbing a Fam-
ily Dollar store at gunpoint in
June 2010.
Nathaniel Garcia, 25, of
West Maple Street, entered
the plea to charges of robbery
and criminal trespass before
Luzerne County Judge David
Lupas. Garcia will be sen-
tenced on Aug. 9.
According to court papers,
on June 16, Hazleton police
were dispatched to the Family
Dollar store on West Broad
Street for a reported robbery.
The clerks said one man
brandished a silver handgun
and pointed it at the clerks
demanding money, while the
other asked for money to be
handed over and removed
money from a cash drawer.
Police said the men, Jesus
Torres, 23, also of Hazleton,
and Garcia, then fled by un-
locking the front door. Torres
said Garcia used the handgun
to demand money and that
he, Torres, removed the mon-
ey from the cash register
totaling just over $1,200.
Torres has previously en-
tered a plea to similar charg-
es and is tentatively sched-
uled to be sentenced on June
20.

P
rashant Shitut, president of Impressions Media, the company that owns The Times

Roy was the 2009, 2010 and 2011 winner of The Times Leader/Scripps NEPA Regional
Spelling Bee and the 2011 winner of the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Her gift - a framed
copy of the news coverage she earned with her national victory - was presented at PNC

member Olga Conart. This
anniversary signifies that our
faith has brought us through.
Its great to see 100 years cele-
brated with the memory of our
parents and grandparents still
alive in our hearts.
The recent closing of St.
Hedwigs Roman Catholic
Church in Edwardsville
brought the centennial celebra-
tion into focus for event co-
chair Thomas Podolack.
Most of the churches on
Zerby Ave are over 100 years
old, said Podolack. However
most people arent going to
church anymore. Membership
is down everywhere.
Following the liturgy, a ban-
quet was held at Newberry Es-
tates in Dallas for the more
than 200 invited guests and vis-
iting clergy.
The ancestors who founded
this church were a hearty peo-
ple and their faith and determi-
nation kept this parish togeth-
er, said Phyllis Podalack of
Mountain Top. Having the
bishop here is the icing on the
cake. It honors their memory.

Bishop Tikhon blesses the congregation of St. John The Baptist
Russian Orthodox Church at its centennial celebration Mass.
Additional spots will be availa-
ble alongthe oldCoal Street from
the boulevard to North Hancock
near Walters Hardware Store,
said James May, spokesman for
the state Department of Trans-
portations District 4-0 office in
Dunmore.
The new design includes four
pull-off areas for buses, he said.
In the new area for Coal
Street, there will not be parking
available because in order to do
so, we would have had to take
more land fromeither the park or
from the residents, and we felt
that would not be appropriate,
said May.
More than$1millionwas spent
onacquisitions tomakethestreet

May said residents were noti-
fied of the project details long be-
fore construction began.
I know there were some no-
tices in local papers and I spoke
with a representative from Pen-
noni Associates (engineeringand
design consultants) who said
that they have notified all resi-
dents andmet withmany of them
and discussed the project, May
said. Also, he said that the city
has alsomet withmanyof the res-
idents.
Grasavage and his neighbors
said they were not notified.
Ive never seen anything. We
never got anything in the mail,
saidJones, wholives next door to
Grasavage.
Jones, 91, who still drives, has
to park on a side street and walk
to his house.
He suggestedthe city make the
street one way and conduct a
study to determine which direc-
tion it should flow.
Still, he shared his neighbors
frustration with the ongoing con-
struction and the parking ban.
I understand you cant stop
progress, saidJones. This was a
poor way to plan it.

WEAVERTOWNFor nearly
120 years, Lebanon bologna has
been made at a small plant in a ti-
ny village just north of Lebanon.
Located along Weavertown
Road in North Lebanon Town-
ship, theplant wasoriginallybuilt
in1893byDaniel Weaver, whobe-
gan making Weavers Lebanon
Bologna in 1885. Through the
years, the plant has been expand-
ed several times, and new, mod-
ern equipment has been added.
Today, the plant alsomakes the
Kutztown brand of bologna
Kutztowns plant was destroyed
byfire in2000andbothbrands
are owned by Godshalls Quality
Meats of Telford, Montgomery
County.
But while the equipment and
the ownership may have changed
many times in the last 118 years,
the bologna recipes are the same
as they were when both Weavers
andKutztownwerefounded, said
Jerry Landuyt, director of mar-
ketingat the Weavertownfacility.
Theyre both the original reci-
pes, said Landuyt, who owned
the KutztownBologna Co. before
its disastrous fire in 2000.
Lebanon bologna, for those un-
familiar, is atypeof sausagemade
of beef and spices that gets its
unique flavor from smoking. It is
believedtohavebeeninventedby
Pennsylvania German settlers in
the1700s.
It began being commercially
produced in the late 1800s, and it
has been a staple in many homes
ever since.
Weavers bills itself as the ol-
dest commercial manufacturer of
Lebanon bologna. However, Lan-
duyt said, the process by which
the bologna is made has changed
dramatically through the years.
Bologna is still wood-
smoked, he said. That really
hasnt changed. But as far as mak-
ing it, packaging it, how fast we
can do it, we can certainly make
more inone day thanthey usedto
make in probably two weeks.
We usedtohave one stuffer do
all thework, andnowwehavelike
fourof themrunningall thetime,
he added.
When Daniel Weaver first
opened the plant in 1893, there
were about 15 employees. Today,
there are about 70 full-timers.
In addition to bologna, the
plant also makes several other
products, including beef sticks,
bacon, ham, turkey jerky andpep-
peroni sticks.
Beef sticks have become a big
thing since about the early 80s,
Landuyt said. They got started
inthebeef stickbusiness, andthat
has grownverybigthroughyears,
and it continues to grow.
While many of Weavers prod-
uctsaresoldnationwide, Landuyt
said, most bologna is sold within
200 miles of Lebanon. The Weav-
er brand is sold more in the Phila-
delphia area, while the Kutztown
brand is more popular in central
Pennsylvania.
Landuyt said he might have
had something to do with Kutz-
towns popularity in the Lebanon
Valley than Weavers when the
two brands were competitors.
When I had Kutztown, of
course, we got all the business we
could, he said.
Business is still good, Landuyt
said, noting that the plant was
mostly unaffected by the recent
economic downturn.
It would be fair to say that ev-
erything was affected by it; how-
ever, it would also be fair to say
that weve been fortunate, he
said. We are on the good side of
it. Our business has gone up dra-
matically, 20-plus percent from
last year to this year.
Landuyt theorized that one of
the main reasons business is up
despite the economic downturn
is because of the high quality of
the products.
The Godshall family is com-
mitted to making a very high-
quality product, and if you buy
something and you like, youre
probablygoingtobuyit again,he
said.

What I Learned Most from my
Stepfather
It has been said that one of the best
teachers in life is EXPERIENCE and
that is how I learned from my stepfa-
ther. Let me tell you why I say this:
At the age of 47, my dad married a
widow (my mother) with fve children.
(My biological father had passed
away when I (the youngest) was four
and one-half years old.)
Dad and my mother were only
married 14 months when she passed
away; in addition to his grief, he was
faced with a decision about what
would happen to these children, rang-
ing in age from eight to sixteen. Oh,
there were relatives who were willing
to take one or two, but certainly not
all fve!
Knowing in his heart that my mom
would want us all kept together,
he decided to do just that. At the
age of 48, with no previous parent-
ing experience and at a time when
most parents are looking forward to
their children being on their own, he
legally adopted these fve orphans
and raised us as a single parent on a
coal-miners paycheck.
He gave us all that he had to offer,
emotionally and fnancially. Without
this mans selfessness, I am sure we
would not have had the opportunity
of education beyond high school. We
may not have even known each other
because we probably would have
become separated. More importantly,
we would not have experienced the
kind of love that would take on the
task of raising three teenagers, an
11-year-old and an eight-year-old.
When we grew up and made our
mistakes, as all young people do,
he never said I told you so. He just
always opened up his home and his
heart to us, just as he did when we
were children.
Years down the road, Dad also be-
came Grandpa to our 12 children!
What did I learn most from my step-
father?
I learned, by example, what un-
conditional, real love is.
I learned, by example, the meaning
of total unselfshness.
And I learned, by example, that no
task is too large if you have the will
to accomplish it.

a sophomore at Dallas Senior High
School and continue to shoot for the
stars and achieve all of my hopes and
dreams.

What I Learned Most from my
Parents
What I learned most in my life I
learned from my mom, but I learned
life lessons from my dad as well.
Elizabeth was her given name, but
she loathed it. She simply liked to
be called Betty. She came from a
violent, loveless home where she was
never wanted. Her parents would
fght with weapons using her as the
pawn in the middle. She was told on
a regular basis that she was never
wanted and should have died before
she was born. At a very young age
she was thrown into a lake and told to
sink or swim at which time she sank
and almost drown. Her aunts gave her
a strong Catholic background from
which she embraced a tremendous
faith and helped her gain some self
worth. One would think coming from
such a home would have made her a
very bitter, heartless individual; how-
ever, she was anything but.
She married my dad at the age of 19.
I come from a family of fve children
of which I am the youngest. My dad
worked away fve days a week to sup-
port his family. He, too, was instru-
mental in shaping my character. He
was a patriotic man with a very strong
work ethic. On the softer side of him
was his sense of humor, his infectious
laugh and his charisma. I believe its
from him that I get my stubbornness,
my work ethic and my humor.
My mom was the disciplinarian, the
chef, but, most of all, the caregiver.
Her voice was soft, calming and
reassuring, her touch as gentle as a
feather lightly brushing your skin and
a laugh that was so contagious you
couldnt help but laugh as well. She
was not a woman to let you know if
she was sick and always reminded
you that no matter how bad things
seemed at that time tomorrow would
somehow be better.
In late 1997 early 1998, my mom was
diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
She never let it slow her down; until,
she fnally she went to sleep in Gods
arms on January 18, 2001. I couldnt
imagine how I was going to make it
through each day without my best
friend, my hero, my mom. In 2004,
I was diagnosed with the onset of
cervical cancer. Despite this news, I
didnt let it beat me because of the
example my mom had set for me
throughout my life.
I fnally realized what I had learned
from this amazing woman. She taught
me that patience really was a virtue,
that no matter how bad things
The things that my parents taught
me should be the ideals of all human
beings today. The tales of my brilliant,
powerful ancestors inspire me, and
the ways they achieved their great-
ness inspire me even more. The sheer
brilliance of all of these life lessons
my parents have taught me are so
intriguing that if everyone would fol-
low these lessons, the world would be
a wonderful, admirable place. It would
truly be Heaven on Earth.

What I Learned Most
My name is Amber Roberts and un-
like every other childs normal child-
hood growing up, mine was nothing
even close to normal. I have had the
craziest journeys to get to the place
where I am today and I owe all of the
thanks to my adoptive mother Nancy
Roberts.
In 2003, I was adopted by my single
foster mom Nancy. I had been with
her since I was fve and half years old
and she adopted me when I was nine.
My story may seem like any other
story you would hear, but mine has
been truly a wonderful miracle of a
child and a regular womans love and
passion to take in, love, and treat a
complete stranger as her own child.
I had been in and out of foster homes
pretty much all of my childhood not
trusting a single person and not
knowing what to call home. The last
foster family I was with took me to
meet Nancy, who would become
my mother for good. The day is still
so clear in my head, almost as if it
happened yesterday, as if she was
sent by god in the form of an angel
to rescue me. It was a true miracle,
and with the hold of a stuffed animal
she got me in one arm, and her hand
in my hand we set off to start a new
beginning. When I frst came to Nancy
I couldnt even tell the difference
between love or hate, or food from
water.
The journey of love from Nancy and
the trust she built with me had fnally
shown me that love and trust does
exist after all. The nights I would wake
up screaming and crying in fear from
horrifc nightmares and her comfort
was her love for me. The nights I was
scared to sleep in my own room and
she would comfort me was her love
for me. Teaching me right from wrong
was her teaching me what love is all
about. Without my mom as my role
model, I still wouldnt have a clue
what love is. She has taught me all of
things I need to know in life and as a
single parent with no help.
Today Nancy still continues to show
and teach me new things about life
and the person I am today, I owe it all
to her and all the love she as shown
me. My mom is truly an amazing

My Parents and Their Inuence
on My Destiny
During my childhood, the two beings
who most greatly guided me, who
shaped my future, were my parents.
My parents shaped my interests, my
thought pattern; my parents shaped
my destiny. My parents taught me so
much in the 12 years of my natural-
born life that is diffcult for me to
recall every single life lesson my par-
ents taught me. But, there are some
guidelines that are so important to my
everyday life, that it would be hard to
forget. In fact, some of these lessons
are impossible to forget.
Many of the lessons my parents
taught me are rooted from my ances-
tors. One of my ancestors was to
some extent an important fgure
in the struggle for Indias freedom
from the British Empire. This ancestor
actually went to jail with the Father
of India, Mahatma Gandhi. My father
uses this mans story as an example
of two of his chief ideals. My father
tells me to always stand up for what
I believe in. He also says to not be
frightened by anyone or anything
because if I didnt do anything wrong
then there would be nothing to be
frightened of.
My other ancestor was dismissed
from his fathers house at age 15
because he asked for money. After
that, my ancestor opened a business
and eventually became so fnan-
cially well-to-do that he would donate
astronomical sums of money, remem-
bering the less fortunate. My father
uses this story to emphasize another
life lesson; that lesson being to never
be dependent upon anyone else.
Because if the person I depend upon
ever becomes unreliable, I can carry
on the work myself; he taught me to
be independent. He also uses this to
remind me that nothing is impossible.
My deceased grandfather probably
made one of the largest impacts on
my personality today. My grandfather
was the top-most lawyer and fgure in
his hometown. He was the best of the
best. What my father tells me about
him is that he would always strive to
be number one. This lesson is what
my life today is made of; always strive
to be number one.
Finally, one of the last things my
parents taught me should be taught
to every politician in this area. With
all the local corruption, I used to be
believe that is was impossible to
succeed without corruption. I realize
today that I was wrong. My father has
drilled into me one phrase that will
stay with me forever, Never cheat,
but never be cheated. This is achiev-
ing the best of both worlds.

What I Learned From My Great-
Grandmother
My great-grandmother Sophie is
a true inspiration to me. She is a
90-year-old sweetheart who has
sacrifced in order to provide for her
family since she was 12 years old.
She has taught me many valuable life
lessons through her unselfsh living,
and also by the upbringing of my
grandmother and my mother. One
of the most valuable lessons I have
leaned from her is that less is more.
I learned how my great-grandmother
had to quit school at age 12 because
her mom passed away during child
birth. Her dad needed her to help take
care of her six brothers. She sacri-
fced her education to raise her family.
She grew up with very little, but was
very content with what she had. Each
time I hear her stories, I realize it is
not what you have that is important,
but rather what you do with what you
have that really counts.
A great example of how less is more
was when my great- grandmother had
to walk to and from her job because
she could not afford an automobile.
The daily walk was about six miles
each way. I could never imagine walk-
ing to school every day. This is why I
think she is so strong and still in good
shape today.
I see that my great-grandmother,
grandmother, and my mother grew
up without many luxuries. They are
all strong, self- suffcient women. I
want to grow up to be just like them.
I learned from my great-grandmother
especially, that the less you have, the
more you grow. You do not need all
the material possessions to be happy.
Your happiness comes from within
and how you choose to live your daily
life. My great-grandmother has shared
so many family stories with me about
how much fun our family has had just
spending time together. We are a very
close family with many happy memo-
ries. Some of our best times have
been just being together and repeat-
ing family stories.
My great-grandmother is the center
of our family. It is because of her
strength and her determination that
I am proud and fortunate to call her
my great-grandmother. I feel that my
great-grandmother taught me a very
valuable lesson that I will practice for
the rest of my life. Although it is not
always easy to follow, I do believe the
less you have the better person you
turn out to be. I love her so much, and
I hope I will make her as proud of me
as I am of her!
Essay winners from each category were honored at an awards ceremony and received a certicate and monetary prize.

died at Heartland Nursing
Home, Keyser, W.Va., Friday, June
17, 2011.
Born on February 6, 1941, in
Wilkes-Barre, he was a son of the
late Peter and Margaret (Selingo)
Stone.
He is survived by his brother and
sister-in-law, Jerome and Dorothy
Stone of Kingston; other family
members; and his Franciscan com-
munity.
Brother Luke attended Lee Park
Elementary School, middle school
at Benjamin Franklin Junior High
School, and graduated from Hanov-
er Township Memorial High School
in Wilkes-Barre in 1958. He attend-
ed one year of college at Augusti-
nian Academy, Staten Island, N.Y.,
and one year at Kings College,
Wilkes-Barre.
He earned his bachelors degree
in English and Secondary Educa-
tionfromSaint Francis Universityin
1971, and a masters in Religious
Education and Pastoral Ministry
from La Salle University, Philadel-
phia, in 1982. Brother entered the
Province of the Most Sacred Heart
of Jesus of the Third Order Regular
of Saint Francis in 1962, made his
first profession of the vows of pover-
ty, chastity, andobediencein1964at
Sacred Heart Friary in Winchester,
Va., and pronounced his final vows
in 1967 at the Chapel of the Immac-
ulate Conception on the campus of
Saint Francis University into the
hands of the Very Rev. Jude Glee-
son, T.O.R., Minister Provincial.
A man of many talents, Brother
Luke first served his community as
a member of the food service staff of
Saint Francis University and the for-
mer Mount Assisi Friary in Loretto
from1964 to1967. For the next four
years, he was assigned to the library
staff at Saint Francis Seminary in
Loretto and assisted in the educa-
tion and formation of seminary stu-
dents, both diocesan and Francis-
can.
From1971to1973, he was a mem-
ber of the Provinces Portiuncula
Community, a retreat and spiritual
renewal center in Coden, Ala., after
which he joined the faculty of Bish-
op Egan Catholic High School in
Fairless Hills, in the Archdiocese of
Philadelphia. At the same time, he
served as treasurer of Saint Antho-
ny Friary in Fairless Hills. Brother
Luke held other positions of leader-
ship in the Sacred Heart Province.
He was elected as a delegate of the
Province to the General Chapter of
the Order held in Rome in1968, was
a member of the Provinces Plenary
Council in1969, served on the Prov-
inces Provincial Council from1984
to 1988, and was elected as a dele-
gate to the Provincial Chapter in
2003.
In 1984, he became principal of
Bishop Egan Catholic High School
in Fairless Hills, and in 1988, he be-
came principal of Saint Frances
School in Keyser. In 1992, he was
chosen by the National Catholic
Educational Association to be an in-
structor for its Shepherding the
Shepherds programfor directors of
religious education. In that capaci-
ty, he instructeddirectors inthe dio-
ceses of Joliet and Springfield, Ill.,
Phoenix, Ariz., Denver, Colo., Phila-
delphia, and Wheeling-Charleston,
S.C.
From 1991 to the time of his
death, Brother Luke served on the
staff of Assumption Church, Keyser,
in the Diocese of Wheeling-Charles-
ton, as a pastoral associate to Father
Ivan Lebar, T.O.R., pastor. Both
friars have been staunch supporters
of the Keyser Area Ministerial Asso-
ciation and the Family Crisis Cen-
ter, Helping Hands, and Faith-in-Ac-
tion programs. For 48 years as a pro-
fessed friar, Brother Luke was com-
pletely devoted to his vocation as a
religious brother in the Franciscan
community, serving the Lord and
his brothers and sisters with kind-
ness, patience, and understanding.
Whether performing kitchen duties
for friars and students of Saint Fran-
cis University, providing library ser-
vices for students of Saint Francis
Seminary, managing budgets as a
treasurer, offering hospitality to
friars at the Cape May house, or en-
gaged in other types of ministry,
Brother accepted all assignments
with the humble and joyful spirit of
Saint Francis of Assisi.
He was a gentleman of good hu-
mor and common sense and when
called to educational and pastoral
leadership in the Province, he was a
wise mentor for students of all ages
and a faithful friend to all he met.
His personal motto was Teach
Christ - Witness Christ. As his
health deteriorated in recent
months, he accepted his illness pa-
tiently as a sign of Gods will and
was strengthened by visits fromthe
parishioners of Assumption
Church, fellow friars, and other
friends.
Today, friends of Brother Luke
will be received at Assumption
ChurchinKeyser from2to8p.m., at

R.D. Clements Dentistry in Dallas is
pleased to welcome Dr. Duane R. Sprau
as the new associate to their staff.
When Duane Sprau was 5 years old
living on Church Street in Dallas, his
family switched dentists and became
patients of Dr. Bob Clements.
He remembers that after that switch,
his family thought going to the dentist
was actually fun.
A soccer player for Dallas High School with a
proclivity for the sciences , Duane went off to
Penn State Main Campus. But instead of studying
the sciences, he went on to study finance.
As it turned out, the sciences were really his love.
After receiving a B.S in Finance, he re-enrolled at
Penn State to fulfill science credits needed for
dental school. In May of 2010, Duane obtained his
Doctorate in Dental Medicine at the Temple
University Kornberg School of Dentistry.
And now hes back. Back to his home,
The Back Mountain, and back practicing where
going to the dentist is actually fun.
Dr. Sprau will be accepting new patients on July 1.

the combined budgets of the 11
districts: $510.8 million this year.
Freezing Act 93 salaries also
doesnt put much of a dent in the
massive budget shortfalls caused
by Gov. Tom Corbetts proposed
budget cuts. The11coun-
ty districts will collec-
tively lose about $25 mil-
lion compared to last
years state funding if
Corbetts budget is enact-
ed.
Still, districts have
looked to Act 93 freezes
for a simple reason: They
are far easier tonegotiate
and implement than
freezes to other salaries.
While Act 93 employees
have contracts, they have
no union negotiating
those contracts. As
Crestwood School Board
member Gene Mancini
noted, the law requires
the board and administrators to
meet and discuss, but in the
endtheboardcanimposeanoffer
and the administrators lack the
clout of a large union to change
the proposal.
In announcing his cuts, Cor-
bett suggested teacher unions
agree to a pay freeze, but that is
up to individual unions, and local
unions have generally balked at
that idea. Where concessions
were made, raises were curbed
but not frozen.
Dallas, for example, negotiated
anewcontract that boasts norais-
es for most teachers, but theres a
catch. Teacher contracts provide
pay raises for every year of ser-
vice up to a set number of years
(steps), and for earning a speci-
fied number of college credits be-
yond a bachelors degree (co-
lumn). When contract negotia-
tors talk about raises,
they are referring to in-
creasing the amount
paid at every step and
column. In Dallas, the
amounts for each step
and column remain the
same. Teachers paywill
continue to rise each
year; they just wont see
it increase by more than
it did under the old con-
tract.
Dallas is negotiating
a new Act 93 contract
that covers eight em-
ployees paidatotal of al-
most $570,000this year.
Their contract expired
last summer, so they
have technically worked without
a pay hike this school year.
HazletonArea teachers, incon-
trast, did reopen their current
contract and agreed to a type of
pay cut for the next two years by
deferring not eliminating rais-
es. Teachers will get half the
promised3.65percent raiseat the
start of the year, but receive the
full raise by the end of the year.
With about 680 teachers and a
total base payroll topping $40
million, that move is expected to
save about $750,000 in 2011-12.
By comparison, Hazleton Area
has 30 Act 93 employees paid
$2.7 million this year who are
subject toa two-year wage freeze.
The Act 93 contract expires this
summer so there is no specific
amount beingsaved, but if youas-
sume they would have received a
2 percent raise, the freeze would
only save about $55,000.
Crestwood, on the other hand,
went beyond a pay freeze when
the board negotiated a new Act
93 contract this year. The four-
year deal freezes wages for two
years, then ties raises to the state
Act 1 index (not to exceed a
maximumamount). The Act 1in-
dex is an annual limit on how
much a district can raise taxes
without voter approval or state
exemptions. The limit varies
from year to year and district to
district, but is expectedtobeat or
below1 percent next year.
Crestwoods new contract also
requires administrators to pay an
increasing percentage of their
health insurance premiums: 3
percent next year, rising to 5, 7
and 10 percent each succeeding
year. Boardmember Mancini also
noted the superintendent not
covered by the Act 93 contract
has agreed to pay 15 percent of
the premium.
In Pittston Area, where inclu-
sionof thesuperintendent andse-
curity staff boosts the number of
Act 93 employees higher than
most other districts, the current
contract calls for raises totaling
almost $50,000. Superintendent
George Cosgrove said a freeze is
being discussed. The board plans
to vote on a final budget June 27.
Greater Nanticoke Area, onthe
other hand, is making no effort to
freeze Act 93 salaries, Superin-
tendent Tony Perrone said. He
notedthoseemployees tookapay
freeze last year, and that the con-
tractedincreases for next year are
small just under $14,000 total.
One reason for the low total is
that Perrone, who is covered by
the Act 93 contract, has worked
without pay since his retirement
in 2003, a fact he prefers to down-
play.
Wilkes-BarreAreahasthemost
Act 93 employees of all 11 dis-
tricts 41, with total wages this
year at $3.4 million. The district
has been criticized for years for
being administrator-heavy, but
Superintendent Jeff Namey
who has a contract separate from
Act 93 employees counters that
he eliminated 17 positions in the
past 15 years.
Namey also noted the district
has two tiers of Act 93 employ-
ees. Tier I covers top administra-
tors such as principals and assist-
ant principals, who have salaries
ranging from about $90,000 to
$100,000. Another 20 people are
inTier II, whichincludes deans of
students and program coordina-
tors, most them earning salaries
comparable to teachers, ranging
form $55,000 to $80,000.
The district deliberately decid-
ed to move more people under
Act 93 in recent years who had
previously had separate con-
tracts. Namey also noted the dis-
trict expects to eliminate two or
threeAct 93positions this year by
not filling slots following the re-
tirement of the current employ-
ees.
Wilkes-Barre Area is also the
only local district with three high
schools rather than one, which
multiplies the number of admin-
istrators dramatically. The dis-
trict is studying the possibility of
closing at least one of those
schools in a few years.
The districts Act 93 contract
expired this year and Namey said
employees have agreed to a wage
freeze. Teachers rejecteda freeze,
but have made multiple propos-
als for saving money, including
floating the idea of switching to a
four-day school week with longer
hours per day, saving on heating,
lightingandtransportationcosts.

ROMETheVaticansaidSat-
urday it is working to give bish-
ops information on the best ways
tocombat clergysexabuse, team-
ing up with the Jesuit university
in Rome to host a major symposi-
umon abuse and launch an Inter-
net learning center for follow-up
guidance.
The symposiumnext February
will draw experts in psychiatry,
church law, sociology and child
protection programs to the Pon-
tifical Gregorian University for
three days of meetings and work-
shops with 200 bishops and reli-
gious superiors.
The meetings are designed in
part to help bishops draft guide-
lines to combat abuse that must
be submitted to the Holy See by
next year for review.
The Gregorian will also launch
a multi-lingual Internet learning
center to provide church leaders
with the latest in ongoing re-
search on how to prevent abuse,
train priests properly, protect
children and help victims heal.
Private donors have pledged
funds to maintain the database
for an initial three years, officials
said.
Yet many victims groups have
held out little hope for much
change given that bishops them-
selves have been blamed for
much of the scandal, since it was
they who covered up the crimes
and moved molesters around
from parish to parish to abuse
again rather than reporting them
to police.
No bishop has ever been disci-
plined for failing to stop an abus-
er. Victims advocates argue that
without any enforcement mecha-
nism requiring bishops to com-
ply with church law or their own
guidelines, children will remain
at risk.
The Vaticans sex crimes prose-
cutor Monsignor Charles Sciclu-
na acknowledged Saturday that
bishops come in all shapes and
sizes and the Vatican spokes-
manadmittedsome bishops con-
ferences have no interest inbeing
forced into drafting guidelines.
But Scicluna told reporters
that bishops would be unwise to
ignoretheadviceof experts at the
symposium and disregard the
Vaticans clear instruction to
come up with adequate guide-
lines by next year.
Vatican symposium will help bishops combat abuse
Victim advocates are
skeptical, believing bishops
were at fault in the scandal.

rhythm of a drummer, or at
least thats the idea.
Being in a kayak, youre
alone, or being in a canoe, thats
one thing, said Susan Turcma-
novich, of Scranton, a member
of Pennsylvania American Wa-
ters dragon boat team, but to
be in there with 21 people try-
ing to stay together is a whole
different thing.
Today, six teams from area
businesses, including The
Times Leader, and teams from
the city of Wilkes-Barre and Lu-
zerne County will race the drag-
on boats.
Each team will race three
times from the Market Street
Bridge to the Veterans Memo-
rial Bridge, with prizes awarded
for the fastest overall time, best-
dressed drummer and best
team spirit.
The races will take place
from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. today,
but RiverFest organizers said
thats just a taste of things to
come.
In September 2012, the River-
front Parks Committee and Riv-
er Common hope to host a sep-
arate dragon boat festival, com-
plete with a dragon-boat regat-
ta.
Pittsburgh has a dragon boat
festival, Philadelphia has a drag-
on boat festival, and now
Wilkes-Barre will have a dragon
boat festival too, said John Ma-
day, a member of the Riverfront
Parks Committee Board of Di-
rectors and a RiverFest coordi-
nator.
Maday said he brought the
dragon boats to RiverFest this
year as a preview, to create in-
terest among local businesses in
the hopes of gaining sponsor-
ships for the event next year.
He said things Saturday were
going as smoothly as they could
for a first time, and even the
practice runs drew plenty of
spectators, with a small crowd
watching the action from Nes-
bitt Park.
This is the kind of stuff we
need down here, said Dennis
Reading, of Laflin, as he
watched his daughter paddle
with the Guard Insurance team.
Youve got to get people in-
terested in the area, and this
kind of thing is great for that.
If dragon-boating is about
teamwork, the area, it seems,
has started paddling together.

Fest.
Where else are you going to go
where you could learn something
about the river, you could see Ge-
orge Wesley and Eddie Day and
the Star Fires, and you could see
the mayor of Wilkes-Barre in a
dragon boat out on the river.
Mayor ThomasLeightonwasin
a dragonboat Saturday, preparing
for todays races with the City of
Wilkes-Barre team. The mayor
said he planned not only to rowin
the race today, but to start the day
by participating in the YMCAand
Jewish Community Centers
Duathlon, which starts at 7:30
a.m. today on Public Square.
Its a great event not only for
the city but for the valley as well,
the mayor said after returning
ashore Saturday afternoon. Last
year I didthe kayakingfromHard-
ing to Wilkes-Barre everyone
should do that at least once and
this year its a newadventure.
As it has expanded, RiverFest
has also broadened its appeal
throughout the region.
Michael Markert, of Worcester,
Montgomery County, grew up in
Harding, and returned to his
hometown Saturday to take a
four-hour kayaksojourntoWilkes-
Barre with his girlfriend Kristen
Saponaro one of three kayak
trips sponsored by
RiverFest.
It was just a great
event tocomebackto
the valley for, Mark-
ert said.
It was a lot of fun,
Saponaro, of Worces-
ter, added. It was re-
ally misty earlier this
morning, and then it
got clearer. It was ve-
ry beautiful and tranquil.
RiverFest and the River Com-
mons Thursday night concert se-
ries nowdraws bigger namemusi-
cians as well, River Common Di-
rector of Programming and Ou-
treach Karl Borton said.
This years event featured art-
ists like MiZ and K8, who have
performed at nationally known
music festivals, Borton said.
Eddie Day and the Star Fires,
fronted by state Rep. Eddie Day
Pashinski, took the stage at the
River Common to headline the
evening musical acts.
As RiverFest has grown larger,
the event has not been without
controversy. This year, natural gas
drilling companies Chesapeake
Energy and Williams Energy
joined the events more than 40
corporatesponsors, promptinglo-
cal opponents of drilling for gas in
the Marcellus Shale tostage a pro-
test on the Pierce Street Bridge.
Organized by Don Williams, a
Wilkes-Barre native who now
their vessel. It takes a little bit of
extra coordination to make sure it
all fits.
Eighteenyears later, awholelot
more people showed up for River-
Fest thousands of them, infact
but Maday, amember of theRiver-
front Parks Committee Board of
Directors and a RiverFest Coordi-
nator, said Saturday that the fes-
tival has remained true to its
roots.
The sole purpose of RiverFest
is environmental education and
environmental celebration and
thats the only purpose of it, he
said. Toteachpeople, youhaveto
bringthemtoyourclassroom, and
this is our classroom.
As RiverFest has grown larger,
sotoohas its footprint, as it has at-
tracted vendors from outside the
city and added activities in
Wilkes-Barres downtown.
Saturdays activities included a
tour of Wilkes Universitys Learn-
ing Garden and a childrens pet-
ting zoo by The Lands at Hillside
Farms.
Hillside Farms Director of De-
velopment and
Marketing Su-
zanne Kelly said
the group brought
its animals, includ-
ing a 5-day-old bull
calf, to the event
from the Dallas
teaching farm be-
cause RiverFests
objectives matched
those of Hillside.
I thinkit shows peoplethat the
simple things can be the most
beautiful, Kelly said. And its
working; as soon as we brought
the animals down the people just
started to gather. What were real-
ly trying to do is reconcile a dis-
connect between people and na-
ture and that just fit so well at an
event like this.
Other childrens activities at
Riverfest included pony rides, a
moon bounce, fish printmaking,
tree climbing and field games.
Across Nesbitt Park, Wilkes-

zerne Countys Gas Drilling
Awareness Coalition, Concerned
Harding Area Residents and the
Luzerne County Green Party.
The Susquehanna River has
been named one of the most en-

specifically because of gas drill-

Maday said it is the protesters
right to protest, and that he sup-
ports their right to make their
voices heard.

E
ric McCabe is the branch manager of the McCabe Mortgage Group in Kingston.
McCabe, 39, is a graduate of Lake-Lehman High School and Kings College,
where he received a bachelors degree in finance. He is also a graduate of Lead-
ership Wilkes-Barre. He and his wife, Ann, have six children: Andrew, 19, Abbey, 12,
James, 8, Katherine, 5, Maggie, 4, and Will, 3. They live in Shavertown.
With a degree in finance, you had
many options. Why a career in home
finance? I got a lot of direction
from my father, who is a local real
estate professional. I was always a
numbers guy, which is why I chose
finance as a profession. He was
always a real estate guy, and I really
looked to him a lot for guidance
upon my graduation. At his encour-
agement, I actually sold real estate
during college. I got my real estate
license when I was 18 and had
worked in the field for a few years,
and to me it just seemed like a
perfect marriage.
What is it about the work
that you enjoy most? Its the
people. We do all types of loans
for all types of people, but the
thing I get the most satisfaction
from, day to day, is working
with first-time home buyers.
They come to you and theyre
nervous, theyre apprehensive
and theyre confused. In a lot of
ways, we kind of feel like a
matchmaker and a problem
solver. I really enjoy taking
young couples through that
process.
What do you do to relax?
The number one getaway for
me is golf. Golf with friends. Golf
with family. Thats my time away in the
outdoors. I also enjoy running, swim-
ming and biking.
Hobbies? Raising children.
Music? Everything from James
Taylor and Frank Sinatra to AC/DC. My
favorite band of all-time is Motley
Crue.
Sports? I bleed green. I love the
Philadelphia Eagles.
Favorite city? Philadelphia, close-
ly followed by New York.
Favorite vacation spot? Ocean
City, Maryland. Weve been going
there for many, many years as a fam-
ily. Great golf, great relaxation, great
food and great beaches.
Favorite food? Italian. Veal Parme-
san.
Always in the fridge? Cold beer of
any flavor and Turkey Hill ice cream.
First car? 1983 yellow Subaru
hatchback.
Favorite TV show? The OReilly
Factor.
Favorite movie? I love slapstick
and most Adam Sandler movies. And
my favorite movie of all-time is Cad-
dyshack.
Favorite book? Almost everything
I read is self-help and self-improve-
ment. Aside from that, the last book I
read was Pinheads and Patriots by
Bill OReilly.
Proudest professional moment? I
started in this business when I was 21
and have been in it for 18 years. Four
years into the business, I received my
first nationally recognized award for
excellence in the industry. It was an
event held down in Naples, Florida,
and it was in front of a lot of industry
veterans, many of whom were my
parents age. It was a very humbling
experience.
Your reputation in the community
seems to bring you a lot of word-of-
mouth clients. Why do you think
that is? I dont know, but I will say its
why I love working here in this area.
Its why I will spend the rest of my life
here. I dont have any ambitions to
leave as I get older and retire to a golf
course in South Carolina. That doesnt
interest me. I love the tight-knit fabric
that we all live in, and so my business
philosophy has always been Treat Joe
as well as I treat Jim and treated Jims
mother and Jims cousin. Eighteen
years in the industry, and were a little
over 5,000 families that weve helped.
In a relatively small area, the word will
get around when youre honest and
you do a decent job.

I
ve read that in some old historic-
epic movie theres a scene in which
a Roman legionnaire going into
battle is seen wearing a wristwatch.
I personally did see a movie, set in
1945, in which a 1955 Chevrolet is
parked right in front of a building.
Well, I guess even a well-paid Holly-
wood production crew can get caught
napping. So, you folks out on the West
Coast, out of my never-wavering deter-
mination to make sure you get every-
thing historically correct, here is what
you should know to re-create summer
in America of the 1950s.
In the opening scene where the fam-
ily is driving across town, I trust youll
get the bulbous car right, but please
make sure the stop signs they encoun-
ter are yellow with black letters not
todays red-and-white. If they encoun-
ter a traffic light, theres a good chance
it will be atop a pole in the middle of
an intersection, not swinging from a
long metal arm.
When they stop for gasoline, dont
have somebody jump out with credit
card in hand. Have them sit tight while
two or more men in natty uniforms
dash forth and pump it for them, as
well as clean the windshield and check
the tires air pressure. Why not? Dads
paying 25 cents a gallon.
Incidentally, if the trip is to Scranton
or beyond, they probably wont be
driving. Theyll go by train, perhaps
Laurel Line with its electric cars.
Look, the older daughter is at home,
sighing and waiting for a letter from
her faraway love. The morning delivery
brings nothing, but all is not lost. In
those days, urban areas such as Wyom-
ing Valley got two (thats right TWO)
mail deliveries every weekday, one by
noon and the other by 4 p.m. Voila
the letter. She replies by rushing down
to the corner (only millionaires called
long-distance) to drop an envelope into
a little olive-green mailbox fastened to
a utility pole.
Younger kids arent distracted by
love affairs; theyre too busy playing.
Their toys are simple and generic,
because the $79.95 gizmo thats
themed to a movie hasnt been invent-
ed yet. Army is a popular game,
played with gas masks, canteens, khaki
blankets, bandoliers, service caps and
wooden training rifles the dads, uncles
and older brothers lugged home from
World War II.
While youre battling Americas ene-
mies, your mom is trekking down the
block to the neighborhood grocery
store for dinner fixings. Yes, you could
buy pork chops right in your neigh-
borhood (chosen yourself from your
grocers display case) and then pay the
food bill at the end of the week, 10-cent
Archie or Vault of Horror comic
books not included.
With the sun getting lower in the
sky, a deathly silence falls. No, its not a
religious holiday, but it might as well
be. Its 7:30 p.m. on a Monday, Wednes-
day or Friday, and suddenly the still-
ness is shattered by a hearty Hi-yo
Silver from all the living rooms on the
street. The Lone Ranger rides the
airwaves again, and only a communist
sympathizer would not want to hear
the Cheerios promotion for the secret
decoder ring.
Wow! Dad says hes taking everyone
out to the movies. He must have gotten
that raise because its going to set him
back about a dollar to get a family of
five in to see Pirates of Zanzibar or
Attack from Mars at the Hart/Ster-
ling/Grand/Roman or whatever the
theater in your neighborhood was
called.
I expect well all be so excited we
wont even notice if a pirate is wearing
a wristwatch.

ortheastern Pennsylvanias burgeoning
art scene will be on show this summer at
the official state exhibition.
Works by 14 artists from Luzerne, Lackawan-
na and Wyoming County have been selected to
appear in states 44th Annual Art of the State
Exhibition at The State Museum of Pennsylva-
nia in Harrisburg, one of the states most highly
selective art shows.
Of 1,933 entries from 727 Pennsylvania art-
ists, 135 works of art by 133 artists were selected
for the show, which runs from June 19 through
September 11.
Of the artists who made the show, two, Nina
Davidowitz and Skip Sensbach, hail from Lu-
zerne County, 11 are from Lackawanna County
and one is from Wyoming County.
Combined, thats more than the artists from
Pittsburgh, and more than half the number who
call Philadelphia home.
Growing art scene
Arlene Sindaco of the Wyoming Valley Art
League said those numbers highlight the growth
she has seen in the two years since she took of-
fice as the leagues coordinator.
I believe that there is a potential for North-
eastern PA to become a thriving artist communi-
ty, Sindaco said. Our locals are appreciating
and purchasing art more than ever; sales at the
WVAL Fine Arts Fiesta tent tripled this year in
spite of the economy.
The area has also seen increased diversity in
the media in which local artists work, and more-
and-more studios are opening, she said.
Galleries are being opened in homes and
apartments, said Sindaco. I noticed that a for-
mer mom-and-pop grocery store has been re-
vamped into an artists studio and gallery. More
parents are looking to enroll their children in
private art classes because of the cutbacks in the

members. The site drew more
than 1.7 million visitors since
its launch on May 7, 2000, in-
cluding 266,552 the past year.
Most people trace their fam-
ilies looking in reverse. This
site helps people watch time
elapse in a forward fashion,
said Mark Miner, 49, of Beaver,
who has organized the familys
reunions since1995 and runs its
website, www.minerd.com.
Miner is hoping to attract 130
to 140 of his cousins to this
years reunion. The count of de-
scendants numbers in the thou-
sands, said Miner, whose last
names spelling is one of at least
five offshoots of Minerd.
These people were not edu-
cated, he said. The spelling
probably didnt matter until So-
cial Security and the IRS came
along.
Family members worked in
education, the military or on
railroads, farms and in manu-
facturing plants. At least 330 of
them mined coal and made
coke and steel.
Fourteen men from the clan
were killed in workplace acci-
dents between 1884 and 1941.
Thirty people from the family
died in fatal railroad and street-
car accidents. Since 2000, 753
members of the clan have died.
Sharon Kern of Findlay, Ohio,
is a great-granddaughter of Civ-
il War soldier David Harbaugh
of the 5th Pennsylvania Heavy
Artillery and his wife, Mary
Magdalene Lena Whipkey.
Kern, the last one in her line
from Letitia Whipkey, David
and Mary Harbaughs daughter,
became deliberate in genealo-
gy in 1999 after spending the
previous summer clearing out
her mothers house after she
died.
When she found more than
100 professional photographs of
her ancestors taken more than
100 years ago, that sparked my
interest.
She began sorting through
the photos, documents and oth-
er snapshots. Her grandmother
Letitia had them pretty well la-
beled.
Kern attended her first Min-
erd reunion in 2001.
Among the artifacts she has
are daybooks from Nathan
Shaws farm from 1853-1863.
I have bins of people ... docu-
ments, maps photographs, she
said.

Backyard beauty
Suburban Rhythms, by Ni-
na Davidowitz of Kingston, is
one of two works by Luzerne
County artists included in the
show.
The painting is from a series
Davidowitz began in 2000 ti-
tled Suburban Landscapes,
which captures impressionis-
tic glances of houses, back-
yards and everyday land-
scapes in acrylics, pencil and
collage, with a focus on the in-
terplays of light and shadow
and of nature and the man-
made world.
I love it when people look
at my paintings and say, I
know where that is, Davido-
witz said. My scenes are very,
very familiar; theyre very
Northeast PA.
The Kingston native said
she was inspired to create the
series after taking an extend-
ed vacation out of the area,
spending a month in Italy.
Italy is so dusty, and every-
thing is made of stone, she
said. When I got home, it was
so green here. I thought I
should just do paintings of
what I see everyday.
She now seeks inspiration
locally, on walks around her
neighborhood and wherever
she may roam. She snaps pho-
tos with a camera, frequently
the one in her cell phone, to
work from later.
Verdant hues seem to leap
from the canvas in Suburban
Rhythms, which depicts the
rear of a row of cookie-cutter
white houses bisected by a
row of green and yellow for-
sythia bushes in bloom and
crowned by an enormous tree.
The scene is a scene Ive
painted over and over again;
its my old backyard in King-
ston, Davidowitz said. Its
very, very bright and happy.
My other name for it is The
Glory of Spring, because its
just bursting with green.
The 38-inch square painting
from 2009 is one of the largest
she has done, and took about 6
weeks to finish.
Davidowitz, 52, has been
pursuing art full-time for five
years, though she has been a
professional artist for more
than 25 years.
Though she earned a Mas-
ter of Fine Arts degree from
Marywood University in 2004,
Davidowitz did not earn her
undergraduate degree from an
art school, and said she is
largely self-taught.
Ive just kept at it, she
said. My uncle once told me
you can tell the quality of an
artist by looking in his trash
bin. The key is, you just have
to do lots and lots of work, and
some of it will end up being re-
ally good.
Her love of art seems to
have inspired her children,
she said. Her son Max gradu-
ated in May from the Art In-
stitute of Chicago, and her
daughter Amanda works in
New York for a nonprofit that
provides grants to communi-
ty-theater groups around the
country.
Davidowitz is married to
Jack Weinberg of Kingston.
Contorting nature
Skip Sensbach of Lehman
Township also draws much of
his inspiration from the area,
albeit in a more abstract fash-
ion.
Sensbach refers to some of
his clay sculptures as genet-
ically-modified organisms be-
cause they were inspired by
the clash between our agri-
cultural base and our manu-
facturing base.
He also draws inspiration
from the functional pottery he
produces at his home studio,
he said, as he pointed out a
pattern of intersecting rectan-
gles on recently completed
sushi plates stacked in front
his kiln, which is repeated in a
sculpture standing in his back-
yard.
I view both as being artis-
tic, whether its functional or
not, he said. It really de-
pends on my mood. Ill go
through long stretches where
I just want to throw mugs and
bowls, and it will inspire
something.
But in creating Notch, the
2010 sculpture selected for
this summers state exhibi-
tion, Sensbach drew from
more personal experience.
Three years ago, Sensbachs
father Gene became seriously
ill and needed a kidney trans-
plant. Skips blood type meant
he could donate one of his kid-
neys, and in November 2007
he traveled to Naples, Fla. for
the transplant operation. His
father is alive and well today.
Notch joins two unglazed
clay triangles, one with a
notch in its side, together with
a 12-foot beam of unfinished
wood in a gravity-defying
manner.
The artist said it was in-
spired by the separate ele-
ments his kidney, his fathers
body, a team of surgeons and
nurses that came together to
save his fathers life.
Its all about themintercon-
necting together to make a
whole, he said.
This year is the first time
one of Sensbachs works was
accepted into the state show,
though he applied once before
two years ago.
He said he was thrilled to
learn he had made the show,
and thought it was even bet-
ter when I went down to Har-
risburg and saw it.
You walk through the doors
and its like boom, right in
the middle of the room, he
said.
Sensbach began making
pottery and clay sculptures
about 15 years ago, not long af-
ter moving to the area from
New Jersey, and has focused
increasingly on sculpture
since graduating from Mary-
wood University with a Mas-
ter of Fine Arts degree in 2010.
He ran a teaching studio,
Green Dog Pottery, in Dallas
from 2005 until around the
time of his surgery, and is now
an adjunct professor of art at
Marywood. In the fall, he will
also work as an adjunct profes-
sor in Misericordias new pot-
tery program, which will offer
credit-bearing and community
classes.
Sensbach lives with his wife
Kirsten and son Ethan, 12, in
Lehman Township.

READING, Pa. Its as if a
golfing Uncle Sam yelled,
Fore! and Berks Countys 18-
year-old Pollock quadruplets
heard a number and dutifully
answered the call.
Graduating from Wilson
High School last week, Erin,
Stephanie, Brandon and Wil-
liam, Berks first quads, born
Aug. 6, 1992, to Jim, now 46,
and Kim, now 44, of Spring
Township, will be donning
Pennsylvania Army National
Guard uniforms.
Three of the four had their
first drills this month, said
Sgt. 1st Class James E. Waid,
39, of Fleetwood, their
recruiting officer.
Ive already started crying
because they will always be
my babies. Im a mother, said
Kim, who works in the coun-
tys 9-1-1- emergency call cen-
ter. But I am very proud of
them, and I support their de-
cision.
The Pollocks oldest son,
Anthony A.J., 21, is a junior
studying digital film and vid-
eo production at the New En-
gland Art Institute, Boston.
The Pollocks said Erin de-
cided to enlist and then con-
vinced her siblings to do like-
wise.
Stephanies decision was
the one that shocked us, said
Jim, a Muhlenberg Township
police detective.
Unlike Erin, the self-de-
scribed tomboy, Stephanie is
more of the girl-girl type and
serious student, Jim said.
The thing is, even though
they can fight and argue, my
children have always done
things together ever since
they were born, Kim said.
For the young Pollocks,
their motivation to serve is
rooted in a public-service ori-
ented family with jobs in po-
lice, firefighting and emergen-
cy service fields. Their grand-
parents also served, in the Air
Force and Navy.
The practical considera-
tions of needing to learn a
skill and earning money for a
college education helped turn
the tide in favor of the mil-
itary.
Erin with the 328th Support
Battalion, Lebanon, leaves for
basic training at Fort Jackson,
S. C., on July 19, and then to
become a culinary specialist.
Stephanie and Brandon,
with the 2nd Squadron 104th
Cavalry Unit, Reading, leave
for basic at Fort Leonard
Wood, Mo., Oct. 4, and will
study automated logistics and
inventory control.
Williams assignment is
pending the military entrance
exam.
Waid said the Pollocks six-
year military obligation in-
volves service one weekend
each month and two weeks in
the summer. They will each
receive $15,000 yearly for col-
lege expenses.
As soon as they become
soldiers they are eligible for
deployment, said Waid, who
was in the Army for four years
and the Pennsylvania Nation-
al Guard for 16. Service to
the country leads the list of
reasons of those who enlist,
but very close behind are the
educational incentives.
Three of the quads have col-
lege ambitions, Stephanie,
nursing; Erin, liberal arts
with a culinary arts bent; and
William, military/police
work. Brandon said he might
like becoming a camp coun-
selor.

THE TIMES LEADER SUNDAY, JUNE 19, 2011

H
e was already on his way to
NASCARs Hall of Fame, be-
cause anyone with more than
70 career wins seems to get an auto-
matic ticket in.
Now its time to write Jeff Gordons
name into the top spot of NASCARs
all-time greatest drivers.
That stirring run Gordon put togeth-
er to win the 5-Hour Energy 500 at
Pocono Raceway last weekend was his
second victory of an up-and-down
season for him, and 84th of his brilliant
driving career. He will pass Darrell
Waltrip and Bobby Allison with his
next victory, and move into sole pos-
session of third place on the list of his
sports all-time winningest drivers.
If he stays on track for another 10
years, Gordon who will turn 40 dur-
ing the week leading up to the Aug. 7
race at Pocono has a shot at David
Pearsons 105 career wins for second
place on the all-time list.
I feel like I still have a lot to offer in
the car, Gordon said after winning at
Pocono last Sunday.
Hell never catch Richard Petty for
the lead at 200 victories. And Jimmie
Johnson, whos won the last five NAS-
CAR championships, is the best bet to
catch Petty and the late Dale Earn-
hardt for the most season titles with
seven.
But Petty became known as the king
of the track in an era without restrictor
plates, scrupulous car modifications
and rules that seem to change by the
lap.
Johnsons put together his eye-pop-
ping run during the last six years.
Gordons been better for longer.
Than both of them.
Ironically, his first NASCAR race was
the last one for Petty, down in Atlanta
in 1992.
Since then, Gordon has been a factor
on the track through three decades.
He won three series Cup titles in
four years in the 1990s.
Hes Jeff Gordon and hes that
good, fellow driver Kurt Busch said.
When I came in as a rookie, I set the
bar to try and compete with him. Its
impressive to see what hes done over
his career. Not just this decade, not
just in the 2000s, but back into the
90s.
Gordon captured has last series title
in 2001, but he finished among the top
four in series points five more times
during that decade.
We were living at the peak of the
mountain there for a number of years,
Gordon said.
Everyone thought he fell off hard
when Gordon didnt win a single race
last year, giving him two winless sea-
sons in three years.
To me, the people the media talk
about and the fans talk about are doing
it on a consistent basis, Gordon said.
When we were doing that, people
looked at us. We just havent put the
numbers together (lately). So I dont
expect anybody to look at us as a real
threat.
Theyre looking at Gordon a little
differently these days.
He will start in the back of the pack
for todays Helluva Good! Sour Cream
Dips 400 at Michigan International
Speedway. And Gordon hasnt finished
within the top 20 four times in his 13
races this season.
He still has those two victories,
which have him on the verge of crack-
ing the 10 drivers who get an automat-
ic berth into the season-ending Race
for the Chase series.
These days, you just never know
when its going to be your last win and
when your next one is coming, Gor-
don said.
Chances are, another trip to Victory
Lane is coming soon for him. After
spending a whole racing lifetime there,
guys like Gordon dont forget how to
win.

LEHMAN TWP. Standing in front
of a group of exhausted wrestlers late
Wednesday afternoon, University of Ok-
lahoma head coach Mark Cody offered
his young audience two tips to follow if
they desired future success in the sport.
Dont let anyone make you do some-
thing you dont want to do, said Cody.
Losers love other losers. Live your life
like a warrior.
The former American University
coach, and2011Coachof theYear as vot-
ed by the National Wrestling Coaching
Association, instructed almost 30 wres-
tlers for two hours at the second annual
Eagles Way Wrestling Camp at Lake-
Lehman High School.
Watching over local wrestlers aspir-
ing to be the next national champion or
gold-medal Olympian, Cody provided
techniques and words of motivation.
To do this (collegiate wrestling) you
have to have discipline outside of the
wrestling room, Cody said. Make it a
rule to do something every day to make
yourself better as a competitor.

MOOSIC When Greg Smith
retired Ezequiel Carrera to begin
Saturdays game, that was a good
omen for Scran-
ton/Wilkes-
Barre.
That marked
just the second
time in the last
11games at PNC
Field that a Yan-
kees pitcher got
an out on the
first batter of the
game.
The veteran
left-handers
strong perform-
ance was just be-
ginning.
The journeyman who has
pitched in the big leagues with
the As and Rockies before being
released by Colorado earlier this
year, got every batter he faced ex-
cept three in seven innings to
help Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to a
4-0 victory over Columbus. The
Clippers, the International
Leagues top team at 46-23, had
their 10-game winning streak
snapped.

HERSHEY Ohios defensive
dominance resulted in three
straight possessions inside Penn-
sylvania territory to start Satur-
day nights 54th
annual Big 33
Football Clas-
sic and another
before the first
half was over.
When that
was not enough
to break the
game open, the
Ohio defense took things one
step further.
Doran Grant went from end
zone to end zone on a101-yard in-
terception return in the final two
minutes of the first half for the
game-breaking touchdown that
helped Ohio hand Pennsylvania
its worst loss in the games histo-
ry with a 50-14 rout.

CHICAGOCurtis Gran-
derson hit a tiebreaking sacri-
fice fly in the sixth inning and
Brett Gardner made a terrific
play in the outfield to lead the
NewYork Yankees to a 4-3 victo-
ry over the Chicago Cubs on
Saturday.
Granderson, who was born in
nearby Blue Island, also had
two hits and a walk as the Yan-
kees won for the seventh time
in nine games, bouncing back
froma 3-1loss in the opener of
their first series at Wrigley Field
in eight years.
Grandersons fly ball to deep
right put NewYork ahead 3-2,
but the Yankees almost blewit
with shoddy fielding behind
A.J. Burnett (7-5), who struck
out eight in 51-3 innings.
Cubs starter Ryan Dempster
(5-6) was in trouble throughout
the game, setting season highs
with six walks and119 pitches.
The right-hander allowed three
runs and eight hits in 51-3 in-
nings.
Twins1, Padres 0

and walked one as the Twins
won for the sixth time in a row
and13th time in15 games. Matt
Capps pitched the ninth for his
11th save.
TimStauffer (2-5) was nearly
as good, allowing one run on six
hits with five strikeouts in sev-
en innings. But the punchless
Padres offense was no match for
Baker, and San Diego lost its
fourth straight and eighth in10
games.
Luke Hughes added two hits
for Minnesota.

pitched his first complete game
in nearly three years, Carlos

run and the NewYork Mets
handed Dan Haren a rare beat-
ing in a victory over the Los
Angeles Angels.

leader Jose Reyes sparked the
offense with his latest big game
fromthe leadoff spot and Jason
Bay showed more signs of
breaking out of his season-long
slump.
Pelfrey (4-5) gave up five hits
in his first win since May10 at
Colorado. He entered 0-2 in his
previous six outings, though he
pitched well in most of those.

an RBI single in the10th inning
and the Texas Rangers beat the
Atlanta Braves for a rare one-
run road win.

early 4-0 lead.

hours, 16 minutes in the fifth
inning.

with a double off Scott Proctor
(1-1), who was pitching in his
third straight game. Kinsler
stayed at second on a groun-
dout by Elvis Andrus, who had
three hits. Proctor issued an
intentional walk to Josh Hamil-
ton before Beltre lined the
run-scoring single to center.

hits, including a double that
ignited a three-run uprising in
the sixth. Washington is averag-
ing 7.4 runs since his return.
The Nationals winning
streak is their longest since an
eight-game run fromAug. 2-9,
2009.
Jordan Zimmerman (5-6)
gave up two runs and eight hits
in 61-3 innings to win a third
consecutive decision.

consecutive pitches in the first
inning to help the Milwaukee
Brewers spoil Jon Lesters bid
to become the majors first
10-game winner in a victory
over the Boston Red Sox.

WASHINGTON Now that
the knockout games are here,
the United States is ready to
put a disappointing CONCA-
CAF Gold Cup group stage be-
hind.
The U.S. lost to Panama and
came out of Group C in second
place, setting up a quarterfinal
match with Jamaica at RFK Sta-
dium today.
Panama will take on El Salva-
dor in the second match in the
quarterfinal doubleheader.
I think the team is still doing
well in the tournament, U.S.
captain Carlos Bocanegra said.
Our original goal was to get to
the knockout stages. OK, it
didnt come exactly as we want-
ed, we had the loss against Pan-
ama and everyone was disap-
pointed. But we gave ourselves
a great opportunity still in the
knockout stages and our ulti-
mate goal is to win this tourna-
ment.
The U.S. started the tourna-
ment beating Canada 2-0, then
came the 2-1 defeat to Panama
the first ever U.S. loss in
Gold Cup group play. The U.S.
clinched the quarterfinal berth
with a 1-0 win against Guade-
loupe.
I think we came through
group play feeling good we
were tested, that certain things
came to light, and now were
excited and ready to go, U.S.
coach Bob Bradley said.
Jamaica had no trouble earn-
ing its berth. The Reggae Boyz
have won all three of their
games in the tournament with-
out allowing a single goal.
The U.S. has been without
two key players as it has pre-
pared for the quarterfinal. Mid-
fielders Landon Donovan and
Clint Dempsey were excused
from the teams training ses-
sions in Washington to attend
their sisters weddings Dono-
van in California and Dempsey
in Texas. Both will fly into
Washington after the weddings
to be available for the match.
Bradley said he wasnt con-
cerned about the players ab-
sence. He expected to go over
film of Jamaica with the two
players today morning.
Well take care of everything
with Clint and Landon (today),
Bradley said.
The U.S. has won its last five
Gold Cup quarterfinal matches,
and has never lost to Jamaica,
holding a 9-0-8 record. The
teams last met in a friendly on
April 11, 2006, which the U.S.
won 1-0.
In the group stage we didnt
play anywhere near our best,
but weve always said we need
to keep getting better as the
tournament goes on, midfiel-
der Sacha Kljestan said. So the
quarterfinal right now is a step-
ping stone, hopefully to bigger
things. Bigger performances,
and bigger wins for the team.

BOSTON Screaming fans
dressed in the black and gold of
the Boston Bruins smiled,
waved and stood on trees and
bus shelters as they watchedthe
NHL champions and the
Stanley Cup, of course roll
through city streets on a balmy,
breezy day.
And the players they adore
gave it right back.
Tim Thomas beamed. Zdeno
Chara pumped his fists. Patrice
Bergeron signaled to the mas-
sive crowd to shout even louder.
Then, as the nearly two-hour
rolling rally celebration of the
Bruins first title in 39 years
neared its end early Saturday af-
ternoon, AndrewFerence raised
one finger, then two, then three,
orchestrating a familiar chant.
Lets Go Bruins! the fans re-
sponded. Lets Go Bruins!
But theres no need for the
Bruins to go any further.
Theyve already arrived.
The long journey began in
Vermont in late September with
two days of training camp and
ended in Vancouver with a 4-0
victory Wednesday night in
Game 7 of the Stanley Cup fi-
nals.
In between, the Bruins start-
ed the season with two games in
Prague against the Phoenix
Coyotes losing then winning
on a shutout by Thomas and
grew into a team determined
enough to win three of its four
postseason series in seven
games and good enough to
knock off the Canucks, the
NHLs best team in the regular
season.
The Bruins trip to their sixth
championship got a big boost
from their fans, who stuck by
them all the way to Saturdays
celebration on a sunny day with
temperatures reaching the low
80s. Crowds were so deep on
the sidewalks that many fans
might not have been able to see
the players.
Police announced nine ar-
rests of people charged with,
among other things, Public
Drinking and Disorderly Con-
duct. Police commissioner Ed-
ward Davis said, exemplary fan
behavior was on full display
throughout the day and all
along the parade route.
In a 15-minute program out-
side the TD Garden before the
rally, Boston mayor Thomas
Menino thanked the Bruins for
a fabulous season.
Team president Cam Neely,
one of the greatest forwards in
club history but never a cham-
pion, said, Its finally our time.
How amazing is this?
Chara, the captain, then told
the fans, We couldnt have
done it without you, and
shared a conversation he had
with Neely.
I promised himwhen we win
a Cup I will hand it to him. So
here we go. Come on, Cam, he
said as Neely stepped forward,
smiled broadly and took the tro-
phy.
At one point, Bergeron and
rookie Brad Marchand, who
each scored two goals in Game
7, did a poor imitation of the rap
song, Black And Yellow.
Playoff MVP Thomas spoke
briefly to the crowd, holding the
Cup aloft the whole time.
You guys wanted it. We got it
and we want to share it with you
today, said the goalie, one of
the few Bruins still sporting a
playoff beard. Lets have some
fun.
Then players wearing
white hats and black T-shirts
proclaiming them Stanley Cup
champions and teamofficials
boarded 18 colorful duck boats,
tourist vehicles designed to
travel on land and water. This
day, they carried passengers
who excelled on ice.
We all love each other, said
first-line forward Nathan Hor-
ton, sidelined for the series with
a severe concussion early in
Game 3. We all care about each
other. We all play for each other.
Thats the way its been all year
andthats why we wonthe Cup.
Playmaking center Marc Sa-
vard, limited to 25 games this
season by the effects of a career-
threatening concussion, rode in
the same duck boat as Horton.
The possibility of playing
again after missing the playoffs
is really the furthest thing from
my mind right now, Savard
said. I just want to enjoy it here
and let the boys take the spot-
light here because they earned
it.
About 20 minutes into the
trip to Copley Square, a route of
about three miles from the are-
na where the Bruins were 3-0
against the Canucks in the fi-
nals, Thomas said, Its awe-
some tobe sharingit withevery-
body. This is the day you really
look forward to.
While Boston police no long-
er provide estimates, the size of
the crowd appeared to be larger
than all but the one that turned
out to celebrate the Red Sox
first championshipin86years in
2004.

EASTBOURNE, England
Janko Tipsarevic may miss Wim-
bledonafter slippingandinjuring
his groin during the Eastbourne
final Saturday.
Unseeded Andreas Seppi won
his first career title after Tipsa-
revic of Serbia was forced to re-
tire while trailing 7-6 (5), 3-6, 5-3.
Seppi is thefirst
Italian to win
an ATP title
since Filippo
Volandri won in
Palermo in
2006.
In the wom-
ens final, Ma-
rion Bartoli of
France warmed up for Wimble-
don with a 6-1, 4-6, 7-5 win over
Petra Kvitova of the Czech Re-
public.
The third-seeded Tipsarevic,
who is seeded 23rd at Wimble-
don, was injured in the third set
when down 3-4, 0-30 on serve, af-
ter repeatedly arguing with offi-
cials about the fading light.
After lengthy treatment, he
dropped his serve to fall behind
5-3 and retired after Seppi won
the first point of the next game.
Im taking an ultrasound now
but it doesnt look good, Tipsa-
revic said. I know matches are
played here until late, but that is
the case whenthere are noclouds
and you have enough light.
Its an absolute disgrace. ...
what happened today. At 4-3, 15-
all or love-30 when I slipped, I
asked the chair umpire or the ref-
eree, What else needs to happen
for you to postpone this match?
Andhewas just quiet. Hewas just
repeating like a parrot that we
have enough light, we have
enough light.
Tipsarevic and Seppi both
played their semifinals earlier
Saturday, after rain washed out
Fridays schedule.
In the final, Tipsarevic protest-
ed about fading light after the
first game of the third set, and
then dropped serve to fall behind
2-0. He continued to complain as
he lost the next two games, be-
fore rain forced the players from
the court. When play resumed
Tipsarevic won the next three
games before he fell.
Bartolis victory is her first title
since winning Stanford nearly
two years ago, and came after she
was a runner-up at Indian Wells
and Strasbourg this season.
Bartoli left the court early in
thethirdset for treatment of a left
hamstring injury.
Bartoli was not concerned
about her injury and was certain
to be fit for Wimbledon, where
she reached the final in 2007 and
is seeded ninth.
My muscle startedto get tight
and after the support I received
with the tape it was better and
now I have two days off so I am
definitely going to be OK for
Wimbledon, she said.
In the semis, Bartoli beat Aus-
tralian Sam Stosur 6-3, 6-1 and
Kvitova advanced when Daniela
Hantuchova retired with an ab-
dominal injury as Kvitova led 7-6
(9), 4-2.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. Cal-
bert Cheaney is returning to Indi-
ana to relearnthe college game.
The Big Tens career scoring
leader was hired Saturday by
coach TomCrean as the Hoosiers
new director of basketball oper-
ations. Crean made the announce-
mentduringhisfather/sonbasket-
ball camp, ending several days of
speculation that one of the best
players in school history would be
back oncampus.
Calbert knows the standard
that it takes to be successful aca-
demically as a high-level student
athlete, and he knows what is ex-
pected to play at the NBA level,
Crean said in a statement. He is
excitedtolearnthebusinessof col-
lege basketball.
Cheaney replaces DrewAdams,
who was hired for the same posi-
tion by New Mexico coach Steve
Alford also a former Indiana
star.
For Crean, its another opportu-
nitytoreachintotheHoosiers rich
past. The Indiana coach has spent
three seasons trying to heal the
wounds left by the firing of Bob
Knight and later by Kelvin Samp-
sons NCAArecruiting infractions.
The fallout fromthe NCAAcase
guttedthe roster andforcedCrean
tostart histenurewithonlytwore-
turning players both walk-ons.
Crean still has not posted a win-
ning recordinthree seasons.
But heandothers havebeentry-
ing to fix the tattered program.
Photos of Knight now hang in As-
sembly Hall and the coach who
wonthreenational championships
and more than 600 games in Bloo-
mington has been inducted into
the schools hall of fame.
Crean also has reached out to
Knights former players in an at-
tempt to make thema bigger part
of the program. Hiring Cheaney is
the latest move.
My family and I believe that
this was the right time to begin a
career in college basketball and I
am especially looking forward to
playing a role in the growth of the
players at Indiana, Cheaney said.
Im very grateful to Coach Crean
for this opportunitytoreturntoIU
and I look forward to contributing
immediately inany way possible.
Cheaney finished his college ca-
reer with 2,613 points still the
Big Ten record and was named
the league and national player of
the year in 1993. In four seasons,
Cheaney ledthe Hoosiers toa105-
27 record and the 1992 Final Four
and made the All-America team
three times. The Evansville, Ind.,
nativeaveraged22.4pointsand6.2
rebounds as a senior.
He was taken with the No. 6
overall pick in the 93 NBA draft
and played the next 13 seasons
withfivedifferent teams: Washing-
ton, Boston, Denver, Utah and
Golden State. He averaged 9.5
points and 3.2 rebounds in 825 ca-
reer games. His best season came
in1994-95 when he averaged a ca-
reer-high 16.6 points with Wash-
ington.

some of the best coaches across
the country.
Lake-Lehman head coach
Tom Williams was thrilled to
host such a quality event in the
Black Knights gymnasium.
You like to try to have your
kids do what the best are doing,
said Williams. Having some-
body like Coach Cody here
that to me is the best. He has a
very organized and disciplined
approach.
I know I picked up a few
things as a coach.
Cody spent time at the end of
Wednesdays program talking to
the young wrestlers about steer-
ing clear of harmful substances -
a mantra his teams adhered to
during his successful eight-year
career at American.
Stay away from the alcohol
and drugs, said Cody, who set
in place the same policy for his
grapplers in Norman, Okla.
The standards we hold for
the kids are very high. We prom-
isedthemif they bought intoour
system, they would have some
The Sooners head coach, who
signed on with Oklahoma in
April shortly after leadingAmer-
ican to a fifth-place finish at the
NCAA championships this past
season, was impressed with the
quality of talent he saw at the
clinic and throughout the Keys-
tone State.
The quality of wrestling here
is just incredible, Cody said.
Even with the camp here, its
just amazingtome tosee the sol-
id basic skills even elementary
kids have.
The eight-week program is
open to wrestlers in kindergar-
ten through 12th grade. The in-
struction takes place from 5:30-
7:30 p.m. every Monday and
Wednesday through July 27.
The clinic is an excellent way
to receive exposure from some
of the most well-known coaches
on the national scene, according
to clinic founder Jack Davis.
Davis, who was an assistant
and head coach at Clarion Uni-
versity for 22 years, said the
quality of instruction at the clin-
ic is second-to-none.
There is not another camp in
the country that has the techni-
cians that were bringing in,
said Davis, who has helped run
many other wrestling clinics
since 1975. His son Scott won a
PIAA state championship in
2007 for Lake-Lehman.
I think it is great exposure for
the Wyoming Valley."
The list of coaches scheduled
to visit the camp during the re-
maining six weeks include: Cor-
nell head coach Rob Koll, whose
team was one of the top-three
teams in the country this past
season; Marylands Kerry
McCoy, a two-time Olympian
out of Penn State and the 2009
ACCCoach of the Year; and five-
time Pennsylvania Coach of the
Year Dave Crowell of Nazareth
High School to name a few.
Although the clinic started
two weeks ago, registration
forms are still being accepted.
For further information, contact
Jack Davis at 814-538-9034.
Davis, whose five-year stint as
Clarions head coach included
three top-15 finishes and 14 All-
Americans, loved how Cody
handled himself in front of the
wrestlers andthevaluehebrings
to the local community.
Mark Cody is a great techni-
cian and hes got a great name,
Davis said. Imtrying to expose
the Wyoming Valley kids to
degree of success, he said.
Fifteen-year-old Austin Harry,
who won a District 2 Class 2A
championship at Lake-Lehman
last season as a freshman, was at
the camp last year. The rising
sophomore liked Codys style of
coaching and the way he repre-
sented himself.
He knows what hes doing,
Harry said. He makes you re-
peat everything he says so you
remember it better. To have him
and some of the best coaches in
the country here is great.
Cody and Davis agree the
recruiting talent in the state is
remarkably high. But Davis said
there are some mechanics local
wrestlers need to address in or-
der to compete amongst the ve-
ry best.
The Eagles Way Wrestling
Camp can help, he said.
The talent is there, some of
the ingredients that go along
with it are missing, Davis said.
Thats why were having this
camp, so the kids can brush that
up.

Theyre the best team in the

Smitty, Yankees manager Dave
Miley said. He did a great job.
We couldnt askfor anymore than
what he gave.
Smith, who was signed by the
Yankees on June 13 while he was
pitching in the Independent
American Association for the
Grand Prairie Air Hogs, only
made one other appearance for
SWB this season and that was a 1
2/3-inning relief outing on June
14.
He only allowed one walk in
that brief outing.
On Saturday, a pair of walks
was all he allowed in the first 5
2/3 innings before Indians pros-
pect JasonKipnis linedasingleto
right for the Clippers first hit of
the game.
Smith walked former Yankee
Shelley Duncan in the first and
Luis Valbuena in the second, for
the only other blemishes on his
line, opposedto sevenstrikeouts.
He threw a total of 84 pitches, 57
for strikes, with his third differ-
ent team this season.
My philosophy is that it
doesnt matter where you pitch
or whos catching or hitting,
wherever I am my job is to exe-
cute the pitch, Smith said. Gus
(Molina) did a good job of calling
pitches so I really relied on him
tonight.
You try not to think about (a
no-hitter) but looking out there
at the scoreboard to see outs, you
see the goose egg up there you
cant not think about it.
Yankees right fielder Jordan
Parraz made a superb diving
catch in the fourth to rob Duncan
of a hit on a sinking line drive to
keepSmiths bidfor a no-hitter in-
tact.
ThenParraz (2-for-3, tworuns)
helpedout withthe bat inthe bot-
tomof the fourth when he ripped
the first pitch he saw from Jean-
mar Gomez over the left-field
wall for his third home run of the
season, a two-run liner that gave
SWB a 3-0 advantage.
Parrazs diving catch wasnt
the only highlight reel play for
the Yankees. In the top of the
eighth, Austin Krummade a sim-
ilar grabona loopingfly ball from
Paul Phillips.
The first thingRandy (Flores)
talked about when I got here was
that we got a pretty good de-
fense, Smith noted. So my
thought was let themhit it. Go in
there, throw some strikes and let
them hit it, and they did not dis-
appoint.
The Yankees added a run on a
groundout in the seventh against
Gomez, the reigning Internation-
al League Pitcher of the Week.
Last week, he only allowed two
runs in 13 innings. SWB struck
him for four runs in seven in-
nings. He whiffed seven and
didnt walk a batter.
Andrew Brackman, who is a
converted starter, closed out the
game for the Yankees. He struck
out three over the final two in-
nings.

was 2 hours, 18 minutes and the
announced attendance was 8,062

their first loss on the road to a In-

ing Ohio into missed field

Ohio soon started picking
the Pennsylvania defense apart
and, after scoring on its first
possession of the second half,
opened a 35-7 lead just 3:31 in-

fourthtouchdownof at least 40
yards.
I had a great week with 33
great players, Campenni said.
Ill never forget it.
The game didnt go the way
we wanted, but we had fun and
made some great memories.
The win, its third straight,
gave Ohio a 10-9 lead in the se-
ries since the game for graduat-
ing high school football all-
stars returned to this format in
1993. Counting a series of
games in the 1970s, the states
are even at 12-12.

little extra help.
On the possession after
Teagues third touchdown,
Ohio had two straight sacks,
the second by linebacker Ste-
ven Daniels. When Daniels
came up with yet another sack
onthirddown, Ohio was penal-
ized for an illegal defense for
the secondof three times inthe
game where blitzes are prohib-
ited.
We made too many mis-
takes and they took advan-
tage, Pennsylvania coach Tim
Rimpfel said. A good team
will do that and, oh boy, did
they have some speed.
Ina game that featured20fu-
ture Big Ten players, Ohio ben-
efitted from the availability of
five Ohio State recruits. Jones
threwthreetouchdownpasses,
including a 54-yarder in the
second quarter and a 28-yarder
in the fourth quarter to future
teammate Devin Smith.
Pennsylvania had just two
Penn State players all-pur-
pose athlete Shawn Oakman
fromPenn Wood and defensive
lineman Jordan Kerner from
Fairview. Teague started the
scoring with touchdown runs
of 52 and 20 yards in the final
4:30 of the first quarter for a
14-0 Ohio lead.
Delaware Valleys Brandon
Clemons hit Jones in the back-
field, settingupaninterception
by Desimon Green, leading to
Pennsylvanias only score of
the first half. Smith and Grant
answered before halftime for a
28-7 lead.

WEST ALLIS, Wis. Like
many drivers who come from a
road course racing background,
Will Power had a fear factor to
overcome as he first learned
how to drive on ovals.
Since moving to Indy-style
racing in 2005, Power gradually
became comfortable with the
high speeds, close proximity to
walls and sustained G-forces in-
volved in oval track racing.
He isnt scared and thats
a little scary.
The thing that scares you is
you get immune to it, right?
Immune to the speed and how
dangerous it actually is, Power
said. It sort of becomes nor-
mal to you. Thats when youre
like, Oh, man, it was only a
year ago I was thinking this
was just stupidity and I
shouldnt even be doing it.
Today, Power isnt just sur-
viving on ovals hes thriving.
The Australians big break-
through came last weekend,
when he won at Texas Motor
Speedway for the first oval-
track victory of his career.
Power was the IndyCar Se-
ries best road course racer last
season, and was decent enough
on oval tracks to nearly win the
IndyCar championship. Even
marginal improvement on ovals
this season could put Power
over the top.
The Team Penske driver
comes into todays race at the
Milwaukee Mile with a 21-point
lead over Dario Franchitti, the
driver Power lost the title to at
the end of last season.
To me, I guess, it was a mat-
ter of time, Power said of win-
ning on an oval. Ive always
been knocking on the door
there, and everything came to-
gether at Texas.
Teammate Ryan Briscoe said
its a sign of Powers steady im-
provement.
I think if youre a good road
course driver, youll become a
good oval driver unless
youre scared of the speed,
Briscoe said. If you dont have
a problem with the fear, being
good on ovals comes with expe-
rience.
Penske Racing president Tim
Cindric said Power gradually
learned how to work with his
team on ovals, providing feed-
back to help his crew figure out
what adjustments can make the
car faster.
When he first came to us, he
was like, Hey, I dont really
know. Just give me what you
had last year and let me feel
it, Cindric said.
Cindric said Power really
didnt know what a car was
supposed to feel like on an oval
when he came to the team.
If youve been in a bad car
on an oval, its real hard (not)
to be pretty gun-shy about it,
Cindric said. He gained that
confidence last year, had some
good races, had some good race
cars. Then he understood what
it was going to take (to go)
from running top-five to win-
ning.
But fellow title contenders
will be watching closely to see
if Power can be as good on a
challenging short oval such as
Milwaukee, or Iowa next week-
end, as he was at Texas.
I never felt complete until I
had won a 1-mile oval race to
say, I won an oval race, Tony
Kanaan said. Because Texas,
so many things can happen
which are not up to our control.
This is a drivers track.
Power seems well-positioned
for another chance at the cham-
pionship, but isnt thinking
about it for now.
We led the whole year last
year and lost it in the last race,
Power said.

Franchitti wins pole
at Milwaukee
WEST ALLIS, Wis. Dario
Franchitti won the pole
position Saturday for the
IndyCar race Sunday at the
Milwaukee Mile with an
average speed of 170.841 mph.
Helio Castroneves qualified
second, followed by Scott
Dixon.
It was a rough afternoon
for Simona De Silvestro, who
was taken to a hospital after
she crashed during her
qualifying run. A series
spokesperson said she was
awake and alert.
Will Power has a 21-point
lead over Franchitti in the
series points standings going
into the race. Milwaukee is
back on the IndyCar schedule
after financial problems
prevented the track from
hosting major racing events
last year.
BROOKLYN, Mich. Carl
Edwards raced to his fourth
NASCAR Nationwide victory
of the year, passing teammate
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. with less
than 10 laps remaining Satur-
day at Michigan International
Speedway.
Edwards, the Sprint Cup
points leader, had finished
second in three straight Na-
tionwide races since winning
at Dover in May, but he was
able to slip underneath Sten-
house and then cut in front of
him before holding on to win
by 1.669 seconds in the No. 60
Ford. It was his 33rd career
Nationwide victory.
With 15 to go, I didnt think
we were going to be able to
get him, Edwards said.
Edwards and Stenhouse
gave Roush Fenway Racing a
1-2 finish.
Kyle Busch was third, fol-
lowed by pole-sitter Paul Me-
nard.
Edwards isnt eligible to
earn Nationwide points. Reed
Sorenson, the points leader
entering the race, finished
11th following an early pass-
through penalty for a commit-
ment-line violation.
Stenhouse now leads the se-
ries standings. Elliott Sadler,
eighth Saturday, is second.
Sorenson dropped to third.
Mark Martin, seeking his
50th Nationwide win, was the
leader coming out of the third
and final caution on the 100th
of 125 laps. Edwards and
Busch quickly passed him, but
Stenhouse moved to the lead
not long after that.
Stenhouse led laps 104-116,
but Edwards remained patient
and denied Stenhouse what
would have been his second
win of the year.
It was more work than I
thought it would be, Edwards
said. I really had to drive
hard. He is really getting good
at this, and hes going to be
tough.
Busch, trying to match Mar-
tins mark of 49 victories, had
to settle for outlasting Me-
nard in a hard-fought race for
third. Although Menard had
won the pole earlier in the
day, he led for only one lap.
Edwards led for 62 laps, and
Stenhouse led for 38.
Menard was the beneficiary
of the final caution, which be-
gan on the 95th lap. Martin ar-
rived for a pit stop moments
before the yellow flag and was
able to move to the front when
the leaders went for pit stops
during the caution.
After his victory, Edwards
did his usual back flip, then
went running into the stands
to celebrate. He finished sec-
ond in a Nationwide race at
MIS last August and won one
in 2008. He also has two
Sprint Cup wins at this venue.
Brad Keselowski, who
edged Edwards to win in Mi-
chigan last year, led for 11
laps, the most of anyone be-
sides Edwards and Stenhouse.
Keselowski, however, fell back
after a pass-through penalty
for an uncontrolled tire. He
finished ninth.

BROOKLYN, Mich. Anoth-
er race, another pole for Kurt
Busch. This is a drill hes happyto
get used to.
To be onthe pole three weeks,
what it does there are so many
benefits behind the scenes,
Busch said. Picking your pit se-
lection first, having track posi-
tion right away in the race. ... You
could have a slow pit crew, and
you have that first pit box, thats
going to help you get out in front
of guys throughout the day.
Busch won his third consecu-
tive pole in the NASCAR Sprint
Cup series, finishing first in qual-
ifying Saturday at Michigan In-
ternational Speedway with a lap
of 188.699 miles per hour. Hes
the first driver to win three
straight poles since Brian Vickers
in 2009, and two qualifying ses-
sions were canceled during that
streak. The last person to win
three poles in three races was
Ryan Newman in 2007.
Busch is sixth in the points
standings and has finished in the
top 10 three straight races, in-
cluding a second-place showing
last weekendat Pocono Raceway.
He has not won in 2011, but hes
enjoyed better results after tak-
ing his Penske Racing team to
task earlier this season.
Im thankful that everybody
was able to pull together and un-
derstand that we should just try
something different, he said.
Its great to be able to see the re-
sults popupsosoon. I hadnoidea
that we were right around the
corner.
Busch was forced to a backup
car last weekend after damaging
his No. 22 Dodge in practice.
Theres been less drama this time
around as he prepares for todays
400-mile race.
This was a conventional
weekend, so to speak, he said.
Busch was the pole-sitter in
Michigan last June as well, and
he finished third.
David Reutimann (188.684
mph) was second in qualifying,
and Matt Kenseth (188.620) was
third. Vickers, who was fourth,
was the leader at one point but
Kenseth, Busch and Reutimann
all posted faster laps toward the
end.
Right there at the end a big
cloud came over and it cooled
down quite a bit, Vickers said.
Imsure it helpedthose guys and
they ran pretty good, too.
Vickers is 26th in the stand-
ings. He missed the last 25 races
of last season after he was diag-
nosed in May with a hole in his
heart and blood clots down his
left leg. Heart surgery in July re-
paired the hole but also showed
he was suffering from May-Thur-
ners syndrome, which caused the
clots. He hadsurgery for the clots
the next day.
Ive felt great (since the proce-
dure), Vickers said. Every-
things been great.
Kenseth, who is seventh in the
points standings, will start near
the front today, and thats not
necessarily a familiar feeling.
Kensethqualifiedinthe top10for
only the fourth time this season,
and he has a hard time relating to
Busch, withhis threeconsecutive
poles.
I dont think Ive had three
poles in 12 years, said Kenseth,
whowononlyhis fifthcareer pole
in Las Vegas in March.
Points leader Carl Edwards
was 23rd. Jeff Gordon, comingoff
a win at Pocono, was 31st. New-
man, who set the tracks qualify-
ing record in 2005 at 194.232
mph, was 13th this time around.

NEW YORK Good times, on the
race course and off, are the essence of
Front Runners New York, a club repre-
sentinghundreds of gayandlesbianrun-
ners in the nations biggest city.
Yet thats only part of its story.
Over three decades, the club has
served as a comfort zone and support
group for many of its members as they
coped with personal challenges. It em-
braces apublic-servicemissionforgedin
the 1980s when many members and
their friends died from AIDS.
No one knewwhat it was, howit was
transmittedthere was a lot of fear out
there, recalled Steve Gerben, who be-
gan a four-year stint as club president in
1981 just before the first AIDS cases in
the U.S. were reported.
Front Runners NewYorkhadabout 35
members when Gerben took the helm.
It heldits first Pride Runin1982, attract-
ing about 400 entrants.
The scene inCentral Park will be very
different Saturday for the 30th Pride
Run. Arecord field of more than 5,000 is
expected for the 5-mile race, with enter-
tainment, a raffle and an after-party on
tap.
Proceeds fromthe event will go to the
It Gets Better Project, launched last
year in response to some highly publi-
cized suicides by gay teenagers. Several
club members appeared in a video for
the national project, which seeks to con-
vey messages of hope to counter the de-
spair of bullied or rejected teens.
Front Runners current president,
Megan Jenkins, said the choice of bene-
ficiary was fitting because many club
members ran the Pride Run as their
first step out of the closet.
Longtime member Patrick Guilfoyle
is among that group the club was a
pivotal catalyst for his decision to come
out in the 1980s.
Now 52, Guilfoyle grew up in upstate
New York, ran track in high school and
college, and was still in the closet when
he moved to New York City in 1980.
The city was a little overwhelming,
he said. I found myself living a lie.
He had a four-year relationship with a
fellow member of a Brooklyn running
club, but his partner drowned in 1986
while trying to rescue a suicidal person
whod jumped off a pier. As Guilfoyle
struggled afterward to explain the rela-
tionship, he decidedit was time tocome
out and he did so in phases, starting
with friends and family.
Hed seen Front Runners members
competing at some previous races
admiring them for their confidence but
too embarrassed to join the club him-
self. But with his decision to come out,
he went ahead and entered some of
Front Runners events and formally
joined the club in 1990.
It was really great, he said. For the
first time, I had the feeling that this is a
community. People were really support-
ive as friends, whichwas veryimportant
to me at that point in my life.
Guilfoyle established himself as one
of the clubs strongest runners, record-
ing numerous sub-3-hour marathons,
but the big bonus of membership was
still to come.
In 2001, he fell in love with a fellow
member, Canadian-born John Fraser.
The relationship blossomed, and they
married last year in Ontario.

Back in her heyday, Gail Dev-
ers stood out almost as much for
her flashy fingernails as her daz-
zling finishes.
Those brightly colored, long
and looping nails were eye-catch-
ing, just like the performances of
the American women in the 100
meters at that time.
Between Devers, Florence
Griffith-Joyner and Evelyn Ash-
ford, along with Marion Jones,
wholater admittedtodoping, the
U.S. governed tracks signature
event for nearly two decades.
That supremacy has slipped.
These days, the balance of
power has shifted to Jamaica,
leaving the Americans to play
catch-up. The small Caribbeanis-
land is producing some big-time
sprinters who have taken center
stage at tracks premier events.
And unlike mens sprinting
with Usain Bolt, no one runner is
head and shoulders above the
rest.
Sure, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce
won the 100 at the 2008 Beijing
Olympics, leading Jamaicas
sweep of the medals, and fol-
lowed that up by taking gold at
worlds the next season.
But a fleet of fast Jamaicans
can step up at any given race.
When top Jamaican sprinters
such as Veronica Campbell-
Brown, Sherone Simpson, Ker-
ron Stewart and Fraser-Pryce
step into the blocks at worlds in
Daegu, South Korea, this sum-
mer, they, not the Americans,
will be the favorites.
In Devers opinion, this role re-
versal is just a trend.
When Devers was first coming
up, it was the Americans chasing
the Europeans and Russians,
with many in track circles believ-
ing that group of sprinters would
never be caught.
The U.S. women eventually
tracked them down and went on
to capture five straight Olympic
100-meter gold medals from1984
to 2000, including one in Sydney
that Jones surrendered because
of doping.
The Jamaicans have simply
figured it out right now, got tired
of being the bridesmaid, wanted
tobe the bride, saidDevers, who
ran in an epic 100 against Jamai-
cas Merlene Ottey at the 96
Summer Games in Atlanta, win-
ning in a tight finish. Everyone
has their season.
With the 2012 London Games
looming on the horizon, the
Americans are attempting to
wrestle the dominance back.
Newly named Olympic track
coach Amy Deem doesnt think
her squad is far behind the Jamai-
cans, especially with a blend of
veterans such as Carmelita Jeter
and up-and-comers like Alexan-
dria Anderson, the 2009 NCAA
champion in the 100.
The American100-meter hope-
fuls will assemble at the U.S.
championships that begin Thurs-
day in Eugene, Ore., to earn a
place at worlds and the right to
face the formidable Jamaicans.
I dont think anybody in the
100 is significantly better, Deem
said. From what Ive seen, any-
body is beatable in that race.
Thats the thing: There really is
no Bolt-like figure, someone
whos running away from the
field. Despite winning at the
Olympics and worlds, Fraser-
Pryce isnt shattering world
marks like her fellow Jamaican.
In fact, its Jeter whos making
a run at the top marks. She has
the fastest time of this era, clock-
ing 10.64 seconds in 2009 to be-
come the second-fastest woman
in the history of the100. Only the
late Griffith-Joyner ran faster
(10.49).
To Jeter, this isnt so much a ri-
valry with the Jamaicans as the
spark to sprint even faster.
Its very good for the sport; its
very good for womens sprints
and I hope it continues to bring
more financial and media and TV
and everything to the womens
sprints, Jeter said. Were lack-
ing a little bit because everyone
always wants to see the men, but
were running fast and just as
hard.
The 24-year-old Fraser-Pryce,
comingoff asix-monthbanfor us-
ing the painkiller oxycodone
when she had a toothache, is ea-
ger to establish herself again and
defend her title at worlds. Before
her, Campbell-Brown captured
the 100 crown at worlds in 07.
Weve always had Jamaicans
doing great things, but nowwere
gettingrecognized, Fraser-Pryce
said. Its long overdue.
Bolt, for one, isnt surprised by
his countrys rise in sprinting,
whether its onthe mens or wom-
ens side.Track is simply woven
into the fabric of the island.
Jamaica is sprinting we do
a lot of trackandfieldhere. ... Yes,
there is cricket and football, but
themajorityof Jamaicans want to
do track and field.
The U.S. has shown a resur-
gence this spring. Marshevet
Myers won at the Adidas Grand
Prix last weekend in New York
against an abbreviated field.
The week before, Jeter cap-
tured the Prefontaine Classic in
10.70, a time that leads the world
this season, while Myers finished
second, holding off Jamaicans
Stewart, Fraser-Pryce and Simp-
son.
But its early and hardly any-
thing can be read into the results
at this point.
Theres also this: At the Penn
Relays in late April, the Ameri-
cans toppled Jamaica in the 400
relay with not one but two differ-
ent squads.
That helps withconfidence, es-
pecially since the Americans
have struggled with getting the
baton around the track in recent
seasons.

THE
ONE
AND
ONLY.
Meet David Nieman.
An automotive industry veteran, David joined The Times
Leader automotive advertising sales group six years ago
to combine his passion for cars with the dynamic media
environment. He adds, the warm, upbeat, community-
oriented culture is a bonus. David says hes proud of
the full-service offerings the company provides. We
are now a comprehensive media consulting company
in print and digital and we can reach markets that the
competition cannot.
Two simple words at the end of
a June 7 tweet said it all: Sere-
nas back!
And Venus is, too.
Yes, as Serena Williams an-
nounced to the world less than
two weeks ago, the most success-
ful tennis-playing siblings in his-
tory are returning from lengthy
layoffs right on time for Wimble-
don, where they just so happento
have won nine of the past 11 sin-
gles championships.
For Serena, it will be her first
Grand Slam tournament and
only second event since she
took home a second consecutive
title fromthe All England Club in
July2010. Her nearlyyearlongab-
sence resulted from a series of
health issues, including two foot
operations and blood clots in her
lungs, that she said left her de-
pressed and on my deathbed.
Venus, meanwhile, was sidelined
by a hip injury fromJanuary until
June.
When the grass-court Grand
Slam tournament begins Mon-
day, all eyes will be on them.
I feel like weve beenona simi-
lar road together. Her road hasnt
been as arduous or as long as
mine, but I knowwhat shes been
through coming back, Serena
said at a tuneup tournament this
week in Eastbourne, England.
Weve been really enjoying our
time just getting back together
and practicing next to her and
looking over and seeing her play
so well. Im like, OK, Ive got to
do better.
Thereare, tobesure, other plot
lines worth tracking during the
fortnight.
Among them: Can Roger Fe-
derer make a real runat a seventh
Wimbledon title? Can Rafael Na-
dal extend his recent excellence
tofive titles ina spanof sixGrand
Slam tournaments? Can Novak
Djokovic recover from the end of
his 43-match winning streak to
win a major title other than the
Australian Open? Can Andy Mur-
ray finally and mercifully
put an end to the locals 75-year
wait for a British male champion
at the All England Club? Might
No. 1-ranked Caroline Wozniacki
win her first Grand Slam title?
Could Chinas Li Na win her sec-
ondina row? Will Maria Sharapo-
va end her 3
1
2-year major
drought?
But the biggest curiosity, at
least at the outset, is: How will
the Williams sisters do?
Part of the interest stems from
wondering how much longer
theyll be around. Venus turned
31 on Friday; Serena will be 30 in
September.
Whenever they enter a Grand
Slam tournament, its double the
excitement and double the in-
trigue, I think, that they bring to
the sport. They just bring a differ-
ent level of tennis also, as far as
the power andthe emotional con-
tent, said ESPN2 analyst Chris
Evert, who won18 GrandSlamti-
tles.
It would be monumental in
my mind if Serena pulled off a
win, Evert added. I personally
dont knowhowits humanly pos-
sible for someone to take a year
off like that and have gone
through what shes been through
physically with her ailments and
... it wouldalmost shockme if she
did. But knowing Serena and the
way shes come back before, you
can never count her out.
Evert who said she never
was away from the tour longer
than four months is one of on-
ly five women in tennis history
who have won more major cham-
pionships than Serenas 13. The
others are Margaret Court (24),
Steffi Graf (22), Helen Wills
Moody (19) and Martina Navrati-
lova (18). Among active players,
of course, Serena ranks No. 1, fol-
lowed by Venus with seven.
No one else in this years Wim-
bledon womens field has more
than three Grand Slam titles
(Kim Clijsters has four, but she
pulled out with a foot injury).
Indeed, its remarkable to ex-
amine the measurable ways in
which Serena and Venus have
dominated womens tennis, in
general and the All England
Club, in particular across the
years. Thats why Serena is seed-
ed No. 7 at Wimbledon, despite
being ranked 26th; Venus is seed-
ed 23rd, despite being ranked
33rd.
Not only has Venus won five ti-
tles at Wimbledon, and Serena
four, since 2000, but theyve also
produced four all-in-the-family fi-
nals there in that span. Theyve
played in a total of eight all-Wil-
liams Grand Slam championship
matches, with Serena holding a
6-2 edge.
At Wimbledon, Venus is 68-9,
Serena 57-7. No one else in the
2011 draw has more than 27
match wins there.
Overall, Serena has been to 16
major finals, Venus 14. No one
elseinthedrawhas reachedmore
than four.
As seven-time major champion
John McEnroe put it: I wouldnt
minimize their chances.
Hey, at least one British book-
maker installed Serena as a 3-1fa-
vorite to win Wimbledon.
The interest generated by the
sisters rise to the top of their
sport is widely pointed to as the
reason for the U.S. Opens deci-
sion to move its womens final to
prime time in 2001. Venus beat
Serena that year for the title, and
nearly 23 million viewers tuned
in to the CBS broadcast, giving
their match the largest TV audi-
ence of any program that night,
including a game between tradi-
tional college football powers
Notre Dame and Nebraska.
The last major tournament,
the French Open, was the first
Grand Slam since 2003 without
Serena or Venus and chaos
reigned. Its the only French
Open in history where none of
the topthree seededwomenreac-
hed the quarterfinals, and it left
some looking forward to when
the sisters would pick up their
rackets again.
Im sure when they come
back, theyll come back ready.
Thats how they do it. Tennis has
been pretty spoiled by their suc-
cess and theyre pretty special,
two special sisters, top-10 U.S.
man Mardy Fish said in Paris.
And when theyre not around,
you can feel it. You can feel at a
Grand Slam when theyre not
here, and so I think everyones
hoping that theyll be back, bet-
ter than ever, soon.
Serena lost in the second
round at Eastbourne, a three-set
struggle against the woman she
beat in last years Wimbledon fi-
nal, Vera Zvonareva. Venus lasted
one round longer.
Theyre not merely happy to be
back, though.
They want to contend for more
titles.
I always believe in myself
when I go on the court, Venus
said. And Im not just here to
look good on the court; Im here
to win every match Im in.
Spotlight on Williams sisters return after injuries

championship trophy, after defeating her sister Venus, who holds
the runners-up trophy, in the womens singles final on Centre
Court at Wimbledon.
WIMBLEDON, England
For all that Maria Sharapova
already has accomplished in
tennis, a title in a Grand
Slam tournament now would
be more gratifying than
those from the past.
If I do achieve that if
its here, if its somewhere
else I think it would be
my biggest achievement in
my career, she said Sat-
urday at Wimbledon, where
play begins Monday.
Sharapovas most recent
major title came at the Aus-
tralian Open in January
2008. In October of that
year, she needed surgery on
her right, racket-swinging
shoulder a rather impor-
tant part of a tennis players
body, it seems safe to say
and she was sidelined for
the better part of 10
months.
Ive said it since I came
back from my injury. I said
that if I could win another
Grand Slam, it would mean
more than the previous ones
that I have. ... All of a sud-
den, one day, it was kind of
taken away from you, Sha-
rapova said.
You kind of have to step
back and look at things from
a different angle, she said
of her time away from the
game. And then when you
get back there, you basically
start from zero. You try to
get yourself to a level where
you can compete with the
top players, beating them
day in, day out. Yeah, its a
long process.
She won her first Grand
Slam championship at the
All England Club in 2004,
when she was all of 17. Her
second came two years later
at the U.S. Open, followed
by her victory in Australia.
Sharapova then went more
than three years without
making it back to the semi-
finals at any major tourna-
ment until getting that far
at the French Open this
month.
That proved to her and
to everyone else that
Sharapova, who briefly was
No. 1 in the WTA rankings,
is still capable of contending
for tennis top prizes.
Shes seeded fifth at Wim-
bledon, and will play 2007
U.S. Open semifinalist Anna
Chakvetadze of Russia in
the first round.
At the end of the day,
you really just do this for
yourself, Sharapova said.
Its really about your com-
mitment and your drive;
whether you want it or not.
You can have as many posi-
tive words, and its really
helpful and beneficial, but if
you wake up and you dont
want it, then youre never
going to achieve anything.
COME ON, MOM!
French Open champion Li
Na might need to explain to
her family how significant it
is to win a Grand Slam tour-
nament.
After becoming the first
Chinese player to win a
major singles title two
weeks ago, Li received a
text message from her moth-
er. A congratulatory note?
Nope. Mom just wanted to
know when her daughter
would get a chance to come
home.
I say, After Wimbledon.
And then she never (wrote)
me back again, so ... , Li
said Saturday.
Li added that she thinks
her mother knows she won
the French Open, but clar-
ified: I dont know if even
she (knows) how big (the)
tournament is. I didnt ask
her.
Ask other players on the
womens tour, though, and
theyll be able to answer
just fine.
Top-ranked Caroline Woz-
niacki, still searching for
her first Grand Slam cham-
pionship, said Lis victory is
good for the sport.
Im sure that a lot of
young girls and boys in Chi-
na now also want to play
tennis because they want to
play like Li Na, Wozniacki
said. Its great for tennis
that we can have it even
bigger as a sport than it is
now.
KINGS 50th
Billie Jean King will be at
Wimbledon for the 50th
consecutive year as player
or spectator. The 67-year-old
King owns a total of 20
Wimbledon titles, a record
she shares with Martina
Navratilova.
It feels like my second
home, said King, who won
six singles, 10 doubles and
four mixed doubles cham-
pionships at the All England
Club.
I loved that Centre Court
the first time I went out
there, she added. Its love-
ly. The people are nice.
King earned her first
Wimbledon title in 1961 at
age 17, teaming with 18-
year-old Karen Hantze.
Kings last trophy at the All
England Club came in dou-
bles in 1979 paired with
Navratilova.
Last year, on Court 16,
King hit her first tennis
balls after having double-
knee replacement surgery.
I hit about two or three
and then got off the court,
because I didnt have all
white on, and I really
shouldnt have been out
there, King said. But I did
it.

DOE LICENSE APPLICATIONS
The Pennsylvania Game Commission will
begin accepting antlerless deer license
applications from resident hunters starting
Monday, July 11; and from nonresidents
beginning Monday, July 25.
For the 2011-12 license year, antlerless deer
license fees are the same as they have
been since 1999, except for the 70-cent
transaction fee attached to the purchase
of each license and permit, which is paid
directly to Active Outdoors, the Nashville-
based company that runs Pennsylvania
Automated License System (PALS). This
transaction fee means that residents will
need to write checks made payable to
County Treasurer for $6.70, and nonresi-
dents for $26.70.
By state law, antlerless deer licenses will
continue to be sold only by county treasur-
ers, so hunters will need to prepare and
mail separate applications for antlerless
deer licenses. A list of the mailing address-
es for the 65 county treasurers that issue
antlerless deer licenses is included in the
2011-12 Digest, which is provided to each
license buyer.
A listing of antlerless licenses allocated by
WMU, as well as the remaining allocation,
can be viewed on the Game Commissions
website (www.pgc.state.pa.us), by clicking
on Doe License Update in the Quick
Clicks box in the right-hand column of the
homepage.
Under the 2011 timeline, residents will apply
for regular antlerless deer licenses on July
11; nonresidents will apply for regular an-
tlerless deer licenses on July 25. After this,
residents and nonresidents will apply for
the first round of unsold antlerless deer
licenses on Aug. 1, and residents and non-
residents will apply for the second round
of unsold antlerless deer licenses on Aug.
15.
County treasurers will have to mail regular
and first round of unsold antlerless deer
licenses no later than Sept. 12, and second
round of unsold antlerless deer licenses no
later than Sept. 26.
Hunters may file harvest reports online for
antlered and antlerless deer, as well as fall
turkey, spring gobbler, bobcat, fisher and
Deer Management Assistance Program
(DMAP) permits through the agencys
website (www.pgc.state.pa.us).
Additionally, hunters can call the agencys
toll-free telephone reporting system to file
a harvest report. The Interactive Voice
Response (IVR) harvest reporting system
telephone number is 1-855-PAHUNT1 (1-
855-724-8681).
Pre-paid postage report cards still are avail-
able in the digest, but the agency is encou-
raging hunters to report either online or
through the telephone system to improve
accuracy of data entry, and to save on the
cost of postage and data entry.
NEWHUNTING OPTION FOR YOUTH
The General Assembly last week approved a
bill that would allow for one antlerless
deer license per license year to be trans-
ferred to youth participating in the Men-
tored Youth Hunting Program.
Senate Bill 274, sponsored by Senate Game
and Fisheries Committee Chairman Ri-
chard Alloway II, was unanimously ap-
proved by the Senate on May 2, and was
unanimously approved in the House on
June 15. The bill will be sent to Gov. Tom
Corbetts desk to await his action.
We salute Sen. Alloway for championing this
bill, as well as House Game and Fisheries
Committee Chairman John Evans for
guiding this measure through the House,
said Carl G. Roe, Game Commission exec-
utive director. This new opportunity will
expand an already popular program, which
was created by legislation authored by
Sen. Robert D. Robbins, back in 2006.
In anticipation of enactment of this bill, the
Pennsylvania Board of Game Commission-
ers, on April 12, took the first regulatory
step toward allowing an adult mentor to
transfer an antlerless deer license to a
Mentored Youth Hunting Program partici-
pant. If the bill is signed by Corbett before
the end of the board meeting on June 28,
the board is positioned to final action on
the regulatory change so that it can take
effect for the upcoming 2011-12 deer sea-
sons.
At its October meeting, the board unani-
mously approved a resolution, introduced
by Game Commissioner Jay Delaney, to
support legislative efforts to allow for
adult mentors to transfer one antlerless
deer license or permit to a youth under the
age of 12 participating in the MYHP.
The regulations require that the mentor-to-
mentored youth ratio be one-to-one, and
that the pair possesses only one sporting
arm when hunting. While moving, the
sporting arm must be carried by the men-
tor. When the pair reaches a stationary
hunting location, the youth may take
possession of the sporting arm, but must
remain within arms length of the adult
mentor at all times while in possession of
the sporting arm.
Legal species presently approved for the
MYHP are squirrels, groundhogs, coyote,
antlered deer and spring gobbler.
All youth participating in the MYHP must
obtain a permit through the Game Com-
missions Pennsylvania Automated License
System (PALS), which costs $2.70. Of that
fee, one dollar goes to the Game Commis-
sion, one dollar goes to the issuing agent
who processes the permit application, and
70 cents goes to the company managing
PALS.
NOT ES
I
ts not something you hear about
everyday.
Rabid beavers attacking people.
Thats exactly whats been happening
in the southeastern part of the state.
Rabid beavers attacked, people were
bitten and each incident seems pretty
horrific for those involved.
It all began in April when a local
angler fishing a Chester County stream
heard a splash and saw a beaver swim-
ming toward him. The beaver bit the
angler on the back of the leg and once
more on the hand as the fisherman
struggled to drown the animal.
A test on the carcass confirmed the
beaver had rabies.
Earlier this month, in a park in
northeast Philadelphia, three people
were bitten by a rabid beaver. A hus-
band and wife fishing in the park were
the first victims. A large beaver bit the
womans leg and subsequently bit the
husband in both arms and his chest as
he assisted his wife.
The next day, a child was bitten by a
beaver in the same area, and it seemed
a serious threat was emerging.
Later that day, however, a park rang-
er captured a beaver 500 yards from
where the child was bitten. A Penn-
sylvania Game Commission Wildlife
Conservation Officer euthanized the
animal and the next day test results
came back positive for rabies.
Any animal with rabies isnt a good
thing. But a rabid beaver? Thats down-
right scary.
Equipped with long incisors an-
chored in a muscular head the size of a
brick, a beaver can easily gnaw through
the trunk of a tree.
Imagine what it could do to an arm
or a leg.
Obviously, beavers arent the only
wildlife that are infected with rabies.
According to the state Health Depart-
ment, between 350 and 500 animals
test positive for the virus each year.
Most of them are raccoons, followed by
skunks, cats, bats and foxes no sur-
prises there.
So how did the beavers in the south-
east get rabies?
PGC spokesman Jerry Feaser said
the beavers were most likely bitten by
another animal that was infected, such
as a raccoon.
Philadelphia does have raccoon
issues, Feaser said, referring to the
abundant population in the area.
It makes sense.
Raccoons frequent ponds and
streams searching for food. Im sure
they cross paths with beavers quite a
bit. Perhaps a rabid raccoon was nosing
around the beavers hut or dam when a
confrontation occurred, resulting in a
few bites.
Its a bit odd that a couple of beavers
tested positive for rabies, but it doesnt
mean there is a statewide epidemic.
Still, the incidents speak volumes
about the importance of trapping when
it comes to managing wildlife and
limiting disease outbreaks.
According to the PGCs most recent
furtaker survey in 2008, hunters and
trappers harvested an estimated
142,808 raccoons, more than 65,000
foxes and 12,331 skunks.
It makes one wonder how many
more rabies cases we would have each
year if it werent for hunting and trap-
ping.
In the case of the Philadelphia bea-
vers, trapping would be difficult due to
the 150-yard safety zone requirement.
There is a bill (HB1057) that would
reduce the safety zone to 50 yards for
submerged sets, which are commonly
used for beaver and can be set for rac-
coons as well.
If the bill passes, it will allow trap-
pers to make their sets in more urban
areas, remove excess furbearer pop-
ulations and further control the spread
of rabies and other diseases.
Thats the best way to keep furbearer
populations healthy and keep attacks
from rabid beavers as something you
dont hear about everyday.

Potential for rabies
can strike a wide
variety of species
TomVenesky covers the outdoors for The
Times Leader. Reach him at tvenesky@time-
sleader.com.
RichWaltonwas huntingnear White
Haven when two deputy Wildlife Con-
servation Officers stopped him for a
routine hunting license check.
As he talked with the deputies, Wal-
tonaskedabout becomingone himself.
The job was appealing. At the time
Walton wanted a career in lawenforce-
ment and becoming a deputy WCO
gave him that along with combining
his love of the outdoors.
It really appealed to me, Walton
said.
And it still does today, almost 50
years later.
OnJuly1, Walton, 70, will retire after
reaching the maximum age a deputy
can serve in law enforcement deputy
WCOs must retire on July 1 following
their 70th birthday.
Waltons 47 years as a deputy WCO
are the third-longest tenure in Pennsyl-
vania Game Commission history. Two
other deputies put in48and49years to
top the list.
If it was up to Walton, he would sur-
pass the 50-year mark and more.
I wouldkeepgoingif I didnt have to
retire, theHanover Townshipresident
said. The longer I was a deputy, the
more I liked it.
That included working in the field
assisting other WCOs or taking calls at
the PGCs Northeast Region Office in
Dallas.
Both parts of the job put Walton in
some interesting situations during his
47 years be it day or night.
Walton is constantly tuned in to his
police radio while at home. Afewyears
ago a call came over from the Plains
Township police at 1 a.m. Walton lis-
tened as the officers reported investi-
gating a suspicious vehicle with a laun-
dry basket in the backseat filled with
deer parts.
Despite the late hour, when Walton
heard about the deer parts he didnt
think twice about responding to the
call.
It led to what Walton said is one of
the most satisfying arrests of his ca-
reer.
When I got there the Plains police
found two individuals in the car and
blood was leaking out of the basket all
over the inside. It was a mess, Walton
said. It turns out thesetwoindividuals
shot two deer on the Plains Flats and
another near Bald Mountain. All three
were doe and they took them home,
butchered themand were looking for a
place to dump the scraps when the po-
lice found them.
The pair of poachers were hit with
$3,000 in fines, Walton said.
Even in the region office helping out
as a dispatcher, Walton still found him-
self handling a few unique situations.
Topping the list, he said, is the call
about a bear that stole a bike off some-
ones front porch in Carbon County.
The caller said the bear dragged his
mountain bike off his porch and into
the nearby woods, Walton said. I
asked him if there was anything con-
nected to the bike that would attract
the bear, andthe caller saidit was prob-
ably the bag of Hershey Kisses that
were inside the saddle bag.
Walton was appointed as a deputy
WCO on April 21, 1964 while he bal-
anced a full-time job as a reporter with
the Times Leader andWilkes-Barre Re-
cord. Walton did work full-time with
the PGC in the Communications/Dis-
patch Center, retiring in 2004. Still, he
continued to maintain his deputy
WCOpost, reaching 25 years of service
in 1989.
During his nearly 50 years as a depu-
ty, Walton has worked with10 different
supervising WCOs.
His most recent supervising WCOis
Gerald Kapral, who covers part of Lu-
zerne County.
Kapral said Waltons dedication to
the job and knowledge are irreplacea-
ble.
He was never just a deputy inname,
he was very active init the entire time,
Kapral said. Richs passionfor protect-
ing the game lands and wildlife re-
source is unmatched. No matter what
he was assigned to do, you knew he
could handle it and do it right.
Perhaps the most difficult task that
Walton will face is yet to come retir-
ing on July 1.
Ill really miss it. Ive done it so long
that I know Ill constantly be watching
for violations and reporting anything I
see, Walton said. Its like second na-
ture and its in my blood.
Whether its patrolling during hunt-
ing season, instructing hunter educa-
tion courses or assisting on poaching
investigations, Walton will miss pro-
tecting the outdoors that he deeply
loves.
I dont know why a person would
shoot deer and let them lay or abuse
our game lands, Walton said. I guess
its just greed.
The number of violations certainly
havent decreased during my time as a
deputy, and thats why its important to
stay vigilant and report what you see.
We have to protect our game lands and
preserve our wildlife resource for fu-
ture generations.

Its the season to see fawns in fields and rural areas
DON CAREY/THE TIMES LEADER
White-tailed deer are about finished having their fawns, and they arent an uncommon sight in fields and
rural areas. Younger female deer typically give birth to a single fawn, while does 2 1/2 years and older
can have twins or even triplets. This fawn was photographed in a yard in Bear Creek Village. While it
might appear a fawn is often alone, the mother is usually nearby and they should never be picked up.

Even with their No. 1 ranking
and Olympic gold medal, the
Americans arent the favorites
for the upcoming Womens
World Cup.
That would be host Germany,
winner of the last two World
Cups and the teamwith the most
talented roster from top to bot-
tom not to mention home-
field advantage. Or Brazil, which
has the best player in the world
in Marta and was runner-up at
the last three major tourna-
ments. As for the once-mighty
United States, well, this hasnt
exactly been its best year, forced
into a playoff last November just
to get to the World Cup and then
losing to England for the first
time in 23 years.
Yet the Americans sure didnt
sound like underdogs as they
headed to Germany, where they
begin their quest for their first
World Cup title since 1999 on
June 28 against North Korea.
The Womens World Cup runs
June 26 to July 17 in nine cities
across Germany.
If were at our best, theres not
a team in the world that can beat
us, Abby Wambach said.
The U.S. was, without ques-
tion, the worlds best back in the
days of Mia Hamm, Julie Foudy,
Joy Fawcett, Kristine Lilly and
Brandi Chastain. The U.S. wom-
en won two of the first three
World Cups, along with the first
Olympic gold medal in 1996. But
the success of that team inspired
other countries to pour re-
sources into their programs, and
the gap between the Americans
and everybody else has narrowed
considerably.
Just look at the recent results.
After going years without a sin-
gle loss, the U.S. has had three
since November. After sailing
through regional qualifying, the
Americans were stunned in the
semifinals by Mexico, a team
that had been 0-24-1 against the
United States. The U.S. then had
to beat Italy in a home-and-home
playoff to earn a spot in the
World Cup.
The Americans also lost to
Sweden in the opener at the Four
Nations tournament, which they
went on to win, and were beaten
by England for the first time
since 1988.
Thats a sign of how strong
the sport has become, captain
Christie Rampone said. Interna-
tional teams have more money
invested and more of a commit-
ment to womens soccer. The
speed of play, the technical side
of the game, it all has improved
and so has the competition level.
Theres not a team out there
you can overlook, she added.
The game is more demanding.
You have to make decisions
quicker and read the game faster
because of the speed everyone is
playing at. If you are not locked
in and focused, whoever you are
playing, you almost have to be
thinking three steps ahead when
before you could get away with
one or two.
As the rest of the world was
improving, the Americans were
struggling to create their own
identity in the post-Golden Gen-
eration era. Instability in the
head coaching position didnt
help, either. Former U.S. player
April Heinrichs was not a great
tactical coach, and had a poor re-
cord of developing young talent.
Greg Ryans decision to start
Brianna Scurry over Hope Solo
in the semifinals of the 2007
World Cup probably cost the U.S.
a shot at the title and, worse,
threatened to destroy the tight
bond thats been a trademark of
U.S. teams.
Solo had posted three shut-
outs before being benched. With-
out her, the Americans were
routed 4-0.
After Solo blasted the deci-
sion, Ryan dismissed her from
the World Cup.
I have no regrets. None. I
dont live with regrets, Solo
said. You learn and you move
on. I have.
Ryan was soon fired and re-
placed by Pia Sundhage. With
unflinching optimismand a calm
temperament, the Swede was
quickly able to repair the frac-
tures in the teamchemistry. Solo
was welcomed back to the team,
and was invaluable as the U.S.
upset Brazil for the gold medal at
the Beijing Olympics.
Equally important, Sundhage
recognized that the U.S. had to
become better tactically. She has
put a premium on footwork and
positioning, and the Americans
are far more balanced under
Sundhage.
She has also brought on
younger players, taking care not
to put too many demands on
them right away. Alex Morgan,
for example, has shown an im-
pressive ability to create chances
and score she has seven goals
in her first 16 games, including
the game winner in the first play-
off game against Italy. But Sund-
hage prefers to use Morgan, who
turns 22 on July 2, as a late sub
so she only has to worry about
getting to the goal, not a games
worth of strategy.
Ive been able to come off the
bench and raise the energy lev-
el, Morgan said, add some-
thing different out there, may-
be.
While the U.S. has been able to
create plenty of chances, it has
struggled to finish them, partic-
ularly in recent games. Morgans
goal against Italy came in added
time, and Lauren Cheney also
scored in stoppage time to lift
the U.S. to a 1-0 victory over
Mexico in a June 5 send-off
match.
But Sundhage is not overly
concerned about that. The team
has addressed it, and will contin-
ue to do so. Besides, the U.S. had
a similarly slow start in 2008,
and that season ended pretty
well.
Im looking at chances and
counting chances. This is a good
team, eventually well score a
goal, Sundhage said. Its not
only the final ball or when we
touch the ball. Its more about
how we create, because thats
something we can control.
The Americans drew perhaps
the toughest group in Germany,
playing World Cup newcomer
Colombia (July 2, Sinsheim) and
Sweden (July 6, Wolfsburg) in
addition to North Korea. Sweden
(fifth) and North Korea (eighth)
are both ranked in the top 10;
Germany is the only other seed-
ed team with two top-10 oppo-
nents.
The U.S. beat North Korea 3-0
in group play in both 1999 and
2003, but the teams tied 2-2 in
2007. And North Korea has been
improving rapidly, winning the
Under-20 World Cup in 2006 and
the Under-17 World Cup in 2008,
and finishing second to the
Americans at the 2008 U-20
World Cup. Sweden is Europes
second-best team, though it has
struggled so far this year with
losses in five of its nine matches.
The draw was a good thing
for us, a tough draw, Wambach
said. Weve seen Sweden and
North Korea before, we know
what kind of challenge that will
be, and that well have to play
our best to allow us to move for-
ward in the tournament. Ive talk-
ed with (teammates) about it,
what everyone needs to do in or-
der to win. You know, it comes
down to playing well all the time
and getting some lucky breaks.
Really, luck plays so much into it.
To win any championship in the
world, you need some luck, too.

A light northerly
wind today has
lowered the
humidity com-
pared to what it
was Saturday,
and with an
abundance of
sunshine it's a
day made to
order for all the
dads. With the
summer solstice
just two days
away, the high
sun angle makes
for some very
intense solar
rays so keep the
sunscreen handy
and avoid get-
ting a nasty
burn. After very
warm afternoon
temperatures,
later tonight will
drop down into
the 50s. But the
heat will build
next week for
the rst few
days of summer,
and thunder-
storms are pos-
sible each after-
noon and
evening. The
outlook for July
is for us to have
temperatures
and rainfall near
normal.

NATIONAL FORECAST: A vigorous low pressure system developing in eastern Colorado will produce
severe thunderstorms across portions of the Great Plains today. Showers and thunderstorms will also
be likely from the western Great Lakes, through the Ohio Valley into the Mid-Atlantic states. Cool and
showery weather will affect much of the northern Intermountain West, as well.

IF YOUARE approach-
ing your late 40s, you
probably are not going
to like the viewHar-
vard economics profes-
sor David Laibson
provides of the future
thats creeping up on
you and your parents.
By the time you hit your late 50s, you
are going to be peaking in your decision-
making a mixture of brainpower and
experience, says Laibson. But after 65,
you face a greater chance that you will
be slipping a little on mathematical
calculations. Half of people in their 80s
will lose some of the cognitive edge
theyve cherished and will be at risk of
being cheated on everything fromcredit
cards to loans and investments.
Imnot talking about Alzheimers or
dementia, which Laibson says hits 30
percent of people in their 80s. Rather, its
some lack of cognitive function the
type you detect earlier when you look
for the car keys and cant remember
where you dropped them.
Comedian Susan Vass draws huge
laughter fromseniors when she tells the
story of her senior moments in middle
age. She explains her disgust at going
downstairs and forgetting why she head-
ed there in the first place. She solved it
by placing a table at the foot of the stairs
with some cans of vegetables on it. Now,
if she goes downstairs and forgets why
she made the trip, she plucks a can of
corn fromthe table. As she carries it
upstairs she proudly tells herself she
accomplished her mission.
Although the story generates knowing
laughter among wide age groups, the
loss of more significant cognitive skills
in retirement can be no laughing matter,
including froma financial standpoint.
And Laibson wants financial advisers
and adult children to be prepared to step
in where needed.
Aperson who was a great trader at 55
can be led at 85 to invest in a losing New
Jersey mall, said Laibson. The person is
unlikely to realize they are fallible be-
cause a lifetime of experience creates
the sense of expertise.
Laibson and other researchers started
exploring this when they discovered that
older consumers were consistently pay-
ing more for financial products, such as
loans and credit cards, than middle-aged
people. Bad credit scores, lownet worth
or a high tendency to default on pay-
ments might have explained why people
were charged more. But Laibson found
that the seniors were simply being
charged more because they were being
sold poor products and didnt evaluate
themadequately.
Young people are also sold unneces-
sary or overly expensive products, he
said, because they lack experience.
Middle-aged people get the best deals
because they negotiate. Theyve
learned howto navigate the capitalistic
system.
Laibson recently told financial ad-
visers at a Morningstar investment
conference that they need to be aware of
this so they make sure elderly clients
arrive at solid decisions. Research shows
that older people lose about 3 percent-
age points of return on investments
because they are paying excessive fees
and have not diversified their invest-
ments, he said.
Of course, part of the problemoccurs
because unscrupulous or ill-informed
advisers guide elderly clients into high-
commission products that benefit the
adviser more than the client.
This could be solved, said Laibson, if
the government would regulate the
financial-advice business requiring
that advisers to people with individual
retirement accounts be fiduciaries. A
fiduciary must put the clients interest
first ahead of the advisers. The Secu-
rities and Exchange Commission has
been evaluating whether to make a
fiduciary standard mandatory, but insur-
ance and investment firms have lobbied
heavily against it.
Laibson said, We are ignoring people
with IRAs, the elderly people who need
to make their lifetime savings last
through retirement.

HARTFORD, Conn. Everything is
big with New Yorks Empire State
Building, so upgrading the 20th centu-
ry elevators running up and down its
102 floors without disrupting thou-
sands of office workers, visitors and
tourists each day is no small task.
The office and retail tower and Otis
Elevator Co., the nations best-known
elevator manufacturer, announced
Thursday a partnership to replace and
modernize the buildings elevators to
bring them into the computer age and
reduce passenger wait time. Its the fi-
nal phase of a $550 million renovation
project.
For the Empire State Building
among the worlds most photographed
buildings, reproduced into countless
paperweights and star of a 1933 movie
with King Kong hanging from its side
the renovation caps its 80th year.
And for Otis, which sold its first ele-
vators in 1853 but now gets much of its
business in Chinas booming office con-
struction market, working at the mar-
quee office tower in midtown New
York is as high profile as it gets.
When youre young from another
country you think of the Empire State
Building, said Didier Michaud-Da-
niel, Otis president who hails from
France. The Empire State Building is
known worldwide, so in terms of image
its a great opportunity for us to talk
about what were going to do there.
The newly refurbished elevators
promise quick and efficient rides to
make the prized address even more at-
tractive to tenants, who also are bene-
fiting from upgraded lighting, heating
and cooling and other systems.
Anthony Malkin of the Empire State
Building Co., which owns the tower,
said his company has been leasing to
tenants that occupy entire floors or
multiple floors and expect premier ap-
pearances and service.
Were touching on everything, res-
toring the Art Deco lobby to its origi-
nal grandeur and a new energy-effi-
cient system, he said.
Upgrading all 68 elevators and re-
placing 13-ton machines with new
equipment while workers, tourists and
others enter and leave will be a major
effort. The elevators will carry nearly

n Thursday, the 38th an-
nual Wilkes-Barre Farm-
ers Market will kick off
the summer with a host
of activities, vendors and
farmers selling their early season
crops. But, what will area farmers
bring to the table after an unusually
wet and rainy spring?
Alate plantingseasondue toexces-
sive rainfall in April and May has
pushed many area farms a few weeks
behind from having the volume and
variety of vegetables, including cab-
bage, broccoli and onions, they nor-
mally harvest for market day.
Some farmers said they will have
produce on opening day. Others, in-
cluding Lawrence OMalia from
OMalias Farm and Greenhouse in
Wilkes-Barre, will not.
All four of our tables will be filled
with flowers from our greenhouses,
he said.
OMalia said his fields were com-
pletely flooded, three times, in April.
Our fields will flood when the riv-
er reaches 19 feet, he said. The riv-
er, inApril, was crestingat 22feet and
higher.
Last year, OMalia said he brought
the most produce ever for the first
day of the Wilkes-Barre Farmers
Market.
Other farmers also noted the dev-
astating effects the wet first third of
the year is having on their harvest.
Harold Golomb Jr., of Golomb
Farm and Greenhouse in Plains
Township, saidhe is about 10 days be-
hind in his spring crops.
We could not plant normally in
April, he said. Certainitems may be
late.
Some of his crops such as sugar
snappeas are growing, thoughits too
early to tell what the volume of the
harvest will be.
Mike Nadolski, a meteorologist
with the National Weather Service in
Binghamton, N.Y., reported in April,
the Avoca weather station received
6.51inches of rain. This is 3.23 inches
above normal, he said. May received
4.41inches of rain which was only .72
inches above normal.
April was clearly a very wet
month, Nadolski said.
John Esslinger of Penn State Coop-
erative Extension services educator,
said the rain caused a major problem
with farms state-wide.
You just cannot get into the soil to
till it, Esslinger said. Some farms
were hit harder than others, depend-
ing on their type of soil and drain-
age.
Planting seeds in soil that is too
wet will rot the seed, he said. But the
fresh produce is coming, Esslinger
said.
Prices may be a bit higher, Esslin-
ger said. But the heat will bring it all
along.
Two years ago, a rainy spring
caused crops to be late, but cold tem-
peratures created another problem
for farmers, plant diseases, he said.
This year is a little different, Esslin-
ger said, the warmer temperatures
are helping to prevent blight, a dis-
ease affecting crops.
Ted Dymond of Dymond Farms in
Dallas, said he has been farming all
his lifeandhehas never seena spring,
nationwide, like this.

Fruit grower Paul Brace, from
Braces Orchard in Dallas, said
his crops were not as affected by
the rainy spring as the vegetable
farmers.
The rain does not affect the
fruit trees, he said. It does
wash off the spray used to pre-
vent scabs from forming on ap-
ples.
If rain washes away the pro-
tective spray, then it has to be
reapplied, Brace said. But so far,
peaches and apples are growing
very well, he said.
We are actually having to
knock off some fruit to allowthe
rest of the fruit to continue
growing, Brace said. Brace an-
ticipates being able to bring
sweet cherries, cider, and some
apples to the market.
Dymond is hoping the sunny
weather will hold out and help
his strawberries, black berries,
and cherries ripen for market
day.
Golomb said the rainy weath-
er was goodfor some vegetables
suchas beets andzucchini. He is
anticipating his sweet corn, usu-
ally harvested shortly before Ju-
ly 4th, will be about 10 days late.
If it gets warm like it was, it
will help make up time, Go-
lomb said.
Knowing the challenges of
this spring, OMalia said he is
looking forward to seeing what
other farmers bring to market.
I want people to come and
support the market, OMalia
said. Theseasonis not lost, just
delayed.
MARKET

DON CAREY/THE TIMES LEADER
Plains Township farmer Harry Golomb Jr. checks the progress
of his red beets.
10 million people each year,
Otis said.
Malkin called it the largest
elevator modernization of its
kind in the world and Otis, a
United Technologies Corp. sub-
sidiary based in Farmington,
Conn., says its the biggest in its
158-year history.
The two sides did not dis-
close how much the contract,
which includes a 10-year main-
tenance agreement, is worth.
Michael Poon, director of
technical support at Motion
Control Engineering Inc., an
elevator control manufacturer
in Rancho Cordova, Calif., said
elevator upgrades are common,
but the Otis-Empire State
Building project is unusual for
its size and complexity.
With lifespans of 15 to 30
years, elevators require fre-
quent upgrades to replace ag-
ing, inefficient equipment, he
said.
Its almost like upgrading
your kitchen in your house, he
said. The equipment is getting
too old and too costly to main-
tain.
In addition, elevators have
joined nearly all other equip-
ment in the move frommechan-
ical to digital, requiring im-
provements almost as frequent
as computer upgrades, Poon
said. Computers can efficiently
direct elevators to where pas-
sengers are, shut elevators
down to save energy and com-
municate with elevator oper-
ators who are becoming net-
working experts, he said.
The Empire State Buildings
design specifications and bid-
ding process lasted more than a
year in what Malkin called a
hotly competitive process.
Only three elevator manufac-
turers Schindler, ThyssenK-
rupp and Otis could credibly
compete, he said. Otis came up
with a novel and innovative
staffing system, Malkin said.
The project is a homecoming
for Otis, which designed and in-
stalled the Empire State Build-
ings original elevators during
the Depression. It will hire a
full-time branch manager to
run the project that is set to be-
gin in November and be fin-
ished in March 2014. It will in-
volve as many as 60 workers on
two shifts a day, six days a
week.
The number of tenants has
declined to fewer than 200 from
561 since 2006 as tenants rent
entire floors or multiple floors
and the buildings management
seeks larger and higher quality
tenants, Malkin said. The reno-
vations, including the new ele-
vators, are part of the plan.
The newelevators promise to
route passengers better and re-
duce their wait times, Otis said.
Michaud-Daniel said its proba-
bly the first time ever in a build-
ing this size that elevator equip-
ment will be as good or better
than those newly installed.
Ive been working in the in-
dustry 30 years and for me,
coming from France, it was a
dream getting the Empire State
Building back, he said. Were
extremely proud of it.

DALLAS This promises to
be a moneymaking summer for
airlines, with planes full of pas-
sengers paying higher fares than
a year ago. But there could be a
fall chill in the air.
Leisure travelers say theyre
cutting back on travel because of
high-priced tickets, concern
about the economy, and the
need to spend more for every-
thing from food to gasoline.
Airlines are planning to re-
duce flights once summer ends.
Some are already offering sales
to fill their planes when vacation
season is over.
We are worried about what
happens after Labor Day, says

percent. Retail sales are slump-
ing for the first time in nearly a
year. Becker worries that could
foreshadow a drop in leisure
travel, offsetting continued
strength in business travel.
People who bought their air-
line tickets before those grim
headlines helped push May air
traffic above last years levels, es-
pecially on international routes.
Discount airlines including
Southwest and JetBlue grabbed
a bigger share of the U.S. market
as vacationers and even business
travelers tried to save money.
Nancy Ruby, a customer-ser-
vice trainer for a nationwide re-
tailer, used to fly United but was
taking Southwest fromDallas to
Baltimore this week.
Its not a corporate policy, but
my company has encouraged us
to book as far in advance as pos-
sible to get lower fares, she
said. And shes been traveling on
Southwest more often to avoid
fees on checked bags and reser-
vations changes.
Travelers like Ruby helped
Southwest boost its May traffic
10.9 percent over a year ago. Jet-
Blue increased traffic 10.6 per-
cent, but growthwas muchslow-
er at Delta and American and
traffic fell slightly at United and
Continental.
Whether their traffic was up
or down, higher airfares boosted
revenue.
United Continental Holdings
Inc. said revenue per seat jump-
ed 14 to 15 percent from a year
ago, and that doesnt even in-
clude money from extra fees.
The same measure was up 11 to
12 percent at Southwest Airlines
Co. and a stunning 19 percent at
JetBlue Airways Corp.
The average flight in May was
more than 83 percent full, an oc-
cupancy level unheard of a few
years ago. And it could go higher
in June, July and August.
Since 2008, airlines have
tightly controlled the number of
seats for sale. Thats not only
made flights fuller, its allowed
the airlines to push fares higher.
And theyre making more from
fees $5.7 billion last year from
fees on checked bags and reser-
vation changes, the government
said this week.
The airlines need a big sum-
mer to offset jet fuel costs, which
are up about one-third from a
year ago. If fuel stays at $3 a gal-
lon, the industrys bill for 2011
will be $54 billion, an increase of
$15 billion over last year, accord-
ing to a trade group.
Airlines are preparing for the
slower fall travel season. This
week, JetBlue and AirTran
rolled out sales that run into late
2011, indicating a need to fill
seats.
Henry Harteveldt, a travel-in-
dustry analyst for Forrester Re-
search, said airlines could cut
even more flights than currently
planned, making it harder to
find a cheap fare. Travelers say
deals are already scarce, and
thats causing them to rethink
travel plans.
Larry and Carla Brock of Pitts-
burgh said they paid $840 for
one round-trip ticket on US Air-
ways to Texas, where one of
their sons was graduating from
surgical residency at a Dallas
hospital. A companion pass
made the trip financially beara-
ble.
That price is kind of ridicu-
lous, Carla said. If this (trip)
was just a vacation, wed have to
think twice about it.
Victor Padilla, a technology
expert for an accounting firm in
Dallas, said instead of his usual
three or four weekend trips to
visit friends in New York and
Chicago, hell go just once or
twice this year.
Joan Spurlock, a physical ther-
apist in Fort Worth, Texas, said
her familys flight to a summer
vacation in Grand Cayman will
cost $650 each in airfare, about
one-third more than the same
trip two years ago. Spurlock was
taking her 14-year-old daughter,
Jamie, to a dance competition in
Florida this week, but her hus-
band and another child were
staying home because of the
cost.
Well travel less often. Its
both higher fares and the econo-
my, she said. Dont get me
started on gas prices what a
rip that is.

Airlines are planning to reduce flights once summer
ends. Some are already offering sales to fill their
planes when vacation season is over.
NEWYORKSearching for
airfares often seems like a game
passengers are set up to lose.
Prices change fromday to day,
even minute to minute. Scouring
multiple websites for the best
deal can be overwhelming. And
after you book, theres no guar-
antee that you got the best price.
You just dont knowwhen to
pull the trigger. Its not like buy-
ing anything else I can think of,
said George Hobica, founder of
Airfarewatchdog.com.
Harriet Levy paid $179 for a
recent round-trip flight on Amer-
ican Airlines between NewYork
and Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Sitting
just one rowbehind her, Shirley
Harrison paid $215. Afewrows
back, Ellis and Dianne Traub
paid $317 each. There were at
least 12 fares on the flight, rang-
ing from$169 to $360.
Theres no rhyme or reason
to it, Harrison said.
Fares can fluctuate significant-
ly in just a fewhours. One Delta
flight fromNewYork to Los
Angeles jumped from$755 to
$1,143 froma Friday to Saturday
in late April, then fell to $718 on
Sunday.
The flight was one of a dozen
The Associated Press tracked
over three months for a July
16-22 vacation. The No. 1find-
ing: Avoid booking tickets on
weekends. Its the most expen-
sive time to buy.
Theres no way to guarantee
the best fare. But before book-
ing, travelers should heed this
additional advice:
Book on Tuesday, Wednes-
day and Thursday. Thats when
airlines most often offer sales.
Buy in advance, but not too
early. The best time is four to six
weeks before traveling. In gener-
al, prices for any given flight are
highest eight to10 weeks and
two to three weeks in advance.
Embrace social media.
Airlines are giving more bene-
fits, like exclusive sales, to trav-
elers who interact with themon
Twitter and Facebook. Those
specials are often gone within
hours.
The so-called discount
airlines JetBlue, AirTran,
Southwest and Frontier ad-
just their fares less frequently
than other airlines, so you can
feel more confident locking in a
price. But their prices arent
always the lowest. Researching
multiple airlines fares is the only
way to get a good deal.
It wasnt always this compli-
cated.
Before the airlines were dereg-
ulated in1978, airfares were
approved by the government.
Prices were consistent and print-
ed in timetables. But because air
travel hadnt been embraced by
Americans and was something
of a luxury, planes were often
less than half full.
Deregulation allowed airlines
to set fares and routes on their
own.
Today, sophisticated comput-
er programs analyze travel data
and set a range of ticket prices so
airlines can get the most money
out of each flight. Prices are
generally higher for seats sold at
the last minute, which are usu-
ally bought by business trav-
elers. Refundable tickets tend to
be the most expensive, and
cheap fares come with lots of
restrictions.
There can be as many as 20
prices on any given flight. Air-
line executives say that all that
helps themboost revenue by 3 to
6 percent. If they price tickets
too low, the airline can lose
money. If prices are too high,
seats go unsold.
If that seat goes out empty,
we cant put it on the shelf and
sell it the next day, said Amer-
ican Airlines spokesman Tim
Smith. Aseat that goes unfilled
is like a banana that instantly
spoils on takeoff.
Searching for better airfares
doesnt have to be a gamble

Q: I am 28 years old and cur-
rently serving in the U.S Army.
In the shop where I work, we
have a lot of younger guys.
They act so childish that its
embarrassing to call them sol-
diers. They think everything is
a joke and have no clue when to
back off. Being deployed away
from my wife and family is
tough enough without having
to deal with these immature,
smart-mouthed kids. I men-
tioned this to our sergeant, but
he just brushed me off. What
can I do?
A: If your primary concern is
their lack of professionalism,
then you need to separate ac-
tual work problems from per-
sonal irritation.
Any juvenile behavior that
impedes productivity or cre-
ates a safety hazard should be
brought to the attention of
your sergeant.
For example: I know these
guys are young and immature,
but I worry that horseplay
around the equipment may
cause someone to get hurt. It
also distracts people from
working, so I thought you
might want to speak to them
about it.
On the other hand, if you are
being personally targeted, the
young jokesters may just be
trying to provoke a reaction.
Any comeback will only en-
courage them, so the best re-
sponse is no response. If you
simply smile and go about your
business, they will eventually
get bored and find their fun
elsewhere.
If teasing turns into personal
insults, however, you may want
to explain where you draw that
line. For example: I know
youre only kidding around, but
I want you to know that jokes
about my family are not at all
funny to me. If these steps fail
to help, just try to ignore your
smart-aleck colleagues.
They may simply be dealing
with the stress of deployment
in their own way.
Q: After working with my
manager, Julia, for eight
years, I recently received my
first negative performance ap-
praisal. Previous reviews have
all been quite good, with no
suggestions for improvement.
Julia plans to retire soon be-
cause she feels she has no fu-
ture here. Our company was ac-
quired two years ago, and the
new management has a very
different style. When I get a
new boss, Im afraid this ap-
praisal will make a bad impres-
sion. What should I do?
A: Your negative review is
definitely a warning sign. If Ju-
lia has seemed satisfied with
your performance, then she
may be expressing someone
elses opinion. Given the recent
leadership change, this feed-
back might actually be coming
from higher management. Be-
cause Julia has had difficulty
adjusting to the acquisition,
she may not have accurately
conveyed the perspective of
your new leaders. As a result,
you could have met her expec-
tations, but fallen short of
theirs. To check this out, ask
Julia whether any of the nega-
tive comments came from
someone else. If so, try to get
some direct feedback fromthat
person, then attach an im-
provement plan to your review.
When your new boss arrives,
you can explain the situation,
review the plan, and agree on
specific goals.
Army is no place for
unprofessional behavior

McClatchy-Tribune News Service
THERMAL, Calif. Commu-
nity activists in Southern Califor-
nias Coachella Valley have been
toilingfor years alongthe eastern
rim of this crescent-shaped
breadbasket to spread the word
about the abandoned waste
dumps, shoddy migrant housing
and overburdened recycling facil-
ities that are a fact of life in this
poor, farmworker community.
Their work paidoff last month,
when the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency and state reg-
ulators cracked down on a soil re-
cycling plant that was blamed by
air quality officials for a putrid
stench that sickened dozens of
children and teachers at a nearby
school.
Now, the groups are taking ad-
vantage of that national spotlight
includinga visit fromU.S. Sen.
BarbaraBoxer topress for sim-
ilar actionat other toxic sites that
dot the remote valley, from an
abandoned and illegal dump to a
mountain of human sewage that
locals dubbed Mt. San Diego be-
cause it was trucked in from San
Diego County.
Activists will take state law-
makers and state and federal reg-
ulatory officials on an environ-
mental justice bus tour Friday
withstops at alaundrylist of sites
that represent potential environ-
mental hazards. Its the second
such tour the group has orga-
nized this year since forming an
environmental task force that in-
cludes officials from all levels of
government, with the goal of im-
proving living conditions in the
sun-baked Coachella Valley.
The tour on Friday precedes a
state legislative committee hear-
ing on environmental safety and
toxins that will be held at the lo-
cal high school here.
The federal crackdown on soil
recycler Western Environmental,
Inc., whichsits ontribal land, was
the first major success after a coa-
lition of civil rights and migrant
advocacy groups began using an
evolving strategy, said Megan
Beaman, an attorney with Cali-
fornia Rural Legal Assistance Inc.
The group used to try to make its
point by filing lawsuits against
major polluters or negligent land-
lords but recently realized thats
not enough, she said.
We need a lot more people at
the table and a lot more re-
sources, she said. We are look-
ing at this as an opportunity to
create a model of enforcement ...
that will carry on to other places
in our community and around
the state.
The valley roughly 130 miles
southeast of Los Angeles is well-
known for the glitzier cities such
as PalmSprings and PalmDesert
that sit on its western edge, but
dusty towns to the east like Mec-
ca, Thermal and Indio skirt the
northerntipof theSaltonSeaand
seem a world away from the fair-
ways and swimming pools of
their neighbors. Farmworkers,
many of them migrants, toil in
the agricultural fields that define
this heavily irrigated region and
come home to dangerously over-
crowded trailer parks with limit-
ed septic systems and jerry-
rigged electrical systems.
Recycling plants, dumps and
other businesses unwelcome in
more metropolitan areas set up
shop years ago in the eastern val-
ley and continue to present
health hazards.
InMarch, the newlyformeden-
vironmental task force ramped
up an online site where residents
can log in and document environ-
mental hazards in their commu-
nity, including unexplained
fumes and pollution, said Bea-
man, whose group is one of the
main organizations working in
the valley.
Both the so-called toxic
tours and the online site are
ideas borrowed from the nearby
Imperial Valley, where poor and
mostly migrant residents deal
with similar issues, she said. The
online log of residents com-
plaints has been used there to
identify safety issues previously
unknown to regulators, organiz-
ers say, and they hope it will have
the same effect in the Coachella
Valley.
Darryl Adams, the interim su-
perintendent of the Coachella
Valley Unified School District,
moved to the region a year ago
andtookthe first bus tour that ac-
tivists offeredearlier this year. He
signed up after students at one of
his elementary schools in Mecca
weresickenedbyfumes that were
later traced to Western Environ-
mental, whose facilities are visi-
ble fromthe schools playground.
Adams said he was stunned by
the things he saw on the tour, es-
pecially the living conditions in
the migrant encampments.
I could not believe what I saw
and ever since that day its been
mypurposeinlife... toeventually
do something about those living
conditions, he said. Why is the
eastern Coachella Valley being
seen as a dump site or a recycling
place when you have people in
homes and the agricultural in-
dustry out here? Why isnt some-
thing being done out here?
The EPA issued an order last
month that temporarily shut
down Western Environmental af-
ter dozens of children at the
school got sick from a rotten
egg smell that haddriftedacross
the community on and off for
months. The order temporarily
bans Western from accepting
new shipments of soil contami-
nated with petroleum and other
hazardous substances and in-
structed the company to reduce
and cover 40-foot-tall piles of dirt
that lined the property it leases
from the Cabazon Band of Mis-
sion Indians.
Western, whichhas takensteps
to address the order, has chal-
lenged the findings of regulators
who traced the stench to its oper-
ations. It is working with regula-
tors to reopen.
It was to be one of about a half-
dozen sites visited by the envi-
ronmental tour planned by com-
munity activists.
Other likely stops include a tire
recycling facility where a fire
broke out last month; the human
sewage pile; an abandoned dump
onlandownedbythe Torres Mar-
tinez Band of Mission Indians
and a migrant housing camp.

BUY SIGNAL?
Individual investors are close to their
gloomiest in months. Just 24 percent
on June 9 felt stocks would rise over
the next six months, according to a
survey by the American Association of
Individual Investors. Nearly half, 48
percent, said stocks would fall. The
good news: The last time investors
were that bearish was August, just
before the market bottomed. The S&P
500 rose 30 percent from the end of
August through April. Some analysts
say todays pessimism could again be
a positive contrarian signal. But one
big difference exists: Last time, the
Federal Reserve got stocks to rise by
announcing a $600 billion bond-buy-
ing program. Many economists dont
see that happening again.
ADMITTING WEAKNESS
Even hospitals are seeing a soft
patch this spring. Total inpatient
admissions fell 1.5 percent in
May from last year, according to
a survey by Citi Investment Re-
search. Thats worse than the
0.4 percent drop in April. It also
mirrors a slowdown across the
economy, as shown in soft data
reports since May. The weak job
market means more people are
without health insurance. It also
has people delaying plastic sur-
gery and other elective proce-
dures. That means investors
should expect fewer for-profit
hospital companies to beat earn-
ings expectations this quarter,
says Citi analyst Gary Taylor.
ARECORD, REALLY?
It doesnt feel like it, but a report
this week will show the economy is
at a record high. Before the reces-
sion, the economy at its peak to-
taled $13.36 trillion in inflation-ad-
justed dollars. Economists expect
Fridays report, the governments fi-
nal reading on first-quarter growth,
to show the economy at $13.4 tril-
lion. It actually surpassed its old
peak late last year and has kept go-
ing thanks to exports. Thats one
reason why Credit Suisse strate-
gists are still positive on stocks.
The economy is back to a record,
and analysts expect corporate prof-
its to also hit a peak this year. Yet
the S&P 500 ended the week 19
percent below its 2009 peak. Doctor performing rhinoplastic surgery

When interest rates rise, bond pric-
es fall. Well, most of them do. Float-
ing rate bonds have interest rates
that reset periodically. That means
when interest rates rise, so do the
yields of floating rate bonds. The
ability to reset means prices for
floaters arent affected by changes
in interest rates. That also means
investors worried about the threat
of rising interest rates have been
flooding into floating-rate debt.
Many floating rate mutual funds in-
vest in loans that banks make to
borrowers whose rates reset every
few months. Prices for these bank
loans have climbed so much that
David Hillmeyer, a portfolio man-
ager at Delaware Investments, is
focusing on other types of floating
rate debt.
Where are in-
terest rates
headed?
(Short-term in-
terest rates are)
anchored right
now. But if
(confidence in
U.S. Treasurys)
at all starts to
wane, rates are
going to move
higher, regard-
less of what
growth expectations are. Greece is
an extreme example. Once confi-
dence goes, all bets are off. I think
the U.S. is not a Greece, but
(should 10-year Treasury rates rise
from their current 3 percent to) 5
percent or 6 percent? And thats
how investors of floating rate prod-
ucts are thinking now.
When people invest in bank
loans, what are they buying? Are
these loans for leveraged buy-
outs, or LBOs, where people are
borrowing to buy companies?
LBOs have played a role, but
theyre not nearly as large as they
were in 06. Its just more typical
high yield type borrowers that are
hitting the loan market, small busi-
nesses.
And popularity for bank loans
has been surging?
You have seen so much money
come into the asset class over the
last six to nine months that its driv-
en valuations, arguably in some
cases, through fundamental values.
Thats why we want to look and
consider other alternatives in the
marketplace, away from bank
loans.
How long have you been shifting
away from bank loans?
Weve been doing that over the last
two months. Weve been letting that
exposure roll off, and weve been
moving up in quality. (Bank loans
are rated as below investment
grade credit quality.)
So if not bank loans, what are
you looking at?
Investment grade corporates. One
of the things were comfortable with
as a firm is corporate balance
sheets. Weve got a lot of (cash) on
corporate balance sheets. Theres
good value.
How often do the interest rates
reset on those investment-grade
corporate bonds?
It depends. Generally, youre going
to see one-month or three month
resets.
A floating rate bonds price isnt
affected by changes in interest
rates, but can it still fluctuate?
Absolutely, it can. People got very
comfortable over the last decade,
up until the blowup in 07, that bank
loans had a relatively stable (price),
that if you invest in bank loans, it
was spitting off some income and
was fairly predictable. I think as the
asset class developed over the
years, and grew in size and scope,
the institutional investors played a
larger role in it. Trading volumes in-
creased, and youve seen price vol-
atility enter into it. People forget this
part of the equation, the credit qual-
ity issue.
So, how should investors think
of floating rate bonds, in terms
of risk?
I guess it depends on whether
youre looking at it from interest rate
risk or credit risk. On credit risk, Id
put it between investment-grade
bonds and high-yield bonds. On in-
terest rate risk, its at the front end
(of the safety spectrum).

InsiderQ&A
Ulta Salon, Cosmetics & Fragrances stock
keeps getting prettier. But investors may want to
wait for it to fade a bit before buying.
The stock is up 67 percent in 2011 through
Thursday, whipping the S&P 500s gain of 1 per-
cent. It did even better the last two years, rising
119 percent in 2009 and 87 percent in 2010. The
reason is that the seller of cosmetics, perfumes
and hair products offers something in short supply:
strong growth.
The companys net income jumped 71 percent
to $23.3 million last quarter. It was the 10th straight
quarter the company beat analysts expectations.
Key to Ultas growth is that its 394 stores offer both
lower-end and premium brands. That means cus-
tomers can buy $1.99 mascara during downturns.
When times are better, they can stay at the same
store and move up to $49 Lashatone mascara.
Ulta plans to open 61 stores this fiscal year,
which ends in January. All the stores also include
full-service salons. Analysts expect Ultas earnings
per share to climb 40 percent this fiscal year. The
company also has zero long-term debt.
The problem, some analysts say, is that the
stock has climbed so much. Its stock trades at 32
times its expected earnings over the next 12
months. That compares with just 16 times for Body
Central, which owns the Body Shop stores, and 11
times for Regis, which owns Supercuts.
Jefferies analyst Randal Konik says Ultas stock
deserves a higher price-to-earnings ratio given its

Fishing for stocks with high ROE
Stock
Screener
Want to find high-quality stocks? Take a look at a companys return
on equity.
Thats a measure of how well a company reinvests its earnings every
year. Companies with a high ROE tend to be stable, consistent
performers that generate lots of cash for investors.
This screen, powered by FactSet, identifies companies in the S&P 500
that have had a ROE above 20 percent for each of the past five years. The
average return on equity for the S&P 500 is about 17. All of the companies
pay a dividend, and their stocks have outperformed the S&P 500 this year.
They also look cheap based on their price-to-earnings ratios. Each stock
has a P/E below 15, the average for the S&P 500.
Cigarette maker Altria Group tops the list. The company has a return on
equity of 84 percent based on its results over the past year. It also has a
dividend yield of 5.6 percent, one of the largest in the S&P. The stock has
risen 9 percent this year, compared to the S&Ps 1 percent gain.
Some of the other stocks with high returns on equity include
well-known companies like Lockheed Martin, IBM and Johnson &
Johnson.

Treasury yields hit 2011 lows
The 10-year Treasurys yield stayed below 3 percent
last week, at one point hitting its lowest level for the
year. Stocks fell early in the week, which sent inves-
tors rushing for safer investments. That drove up the
price of bonds, which moves opposite yields. Mort-
gage rates were flat. The average rate on a 30-year
fixed mortgage ticked up from a yearly low of 4.49
percent to 4.5 percent.

Know the answer? Send it to us with Foolish Trivia on the top and youll
be entered into a drawing for a nifty prize!
Assets in an employer-sponsored
plan (and in a traditional IRA, for
that matter) must start being distrib-
uted by the time the account owner
turns 70 1/2, whether the money is
needed or not. The account owner
loses the benefit of tax-deferral on
money withdrawn. With a Roth
IRA, however, if the money isnt
needed, it can continue to grow,
tax-free, no matter how old you get.
Also, withdrawals from work
plans and traditional IRAs before
the account owner is age 59 1/2
result in immediate taxation and
a 10 percent penalty. Some plans
allow participants to borrow from
their plans, but many dont. Con-
tributions to (but not earnings in) a
Roth IRA may be withdrawn any-
time, penalty- and tax-free. Thats
also true for earnings withdrawn for
first-time home purchases as long as
the money has been in the account
for at least five tax years. This isnt
always a smart thing to do, but if
you need the money, its there.
Of course, everyones situation is
different, and tax laws can change
over time. So before taking action,
learn more at www.fool.com/
retirement or www.irs.gov, or
consult a financial adviser.

Shareholders Matter
For many years, the financial
world just didnt care about share-
holders opinions. If you didnt
like your stocks performance or
policies, you supposedly had two
options: Sell it or shut up about it.
Somewhere along the way, every-
one seemed to forget that owning
shares makes you part-owner of a
public company. But now, at long
last, shareholders are starting to
remember that their opinions count.
Say-on-pay votes are now man-
datory, for example, and reports of
shareholders rejecting outrageous
CEO pay keep rolling in. Although
a minority of companies have had
their compensation plans rejected,
the pay plans that do get shot down
show that shareholders are finally
starting to speak their minds.
Shareholders arent confining their
complaints to compensation, either. A
group of investors including the AFL-
CIO, the trustee of New Yorks larg-
est pension fund, and Trillium Asset
Management recently urged Chevron
to settle litigation related to alleged
environmental damage in Ecuador.
Corporations wont improve on
their own. If your company is pursu-
ing dubious tactics to muzzle your
fellow investors, engaging in poor
practices, or paying its top executives
more than their performance actually
merits, dont suffer in silence, or sur-
render and sell out. Vote your proxy
ballots, call your companys investor
relations department, and raise as
much ruckus as you can.
(Motley Fool newsletter services
have recommended Chevron.)
