WILKES-BARRE – Help for the homeless may soon be out of REACH. On July 1, the REACH program – which began in Wilkes-Barre in1984 by the late Stan Hamilton as Shepherds of the Streets – will stop providing servic- es to an average of 40 homeless men and women a day in downtown Wilkes- Barre. The cul- prit: The pending loss of an $18,500 state grant. No more showers to clean them- selves up. No more mail to open. No more break- fast in the morning. No telephone to use to make appointments or to seek services. No more counseling, camara- derie or friendly chats. No more day care for the homeless. “As of July 1, that stuff stops,” said Stefanie Wo- lownik, executive director.

St. Christopher’s is among sev- eral Diocese of Scranton church- es, rectories and ancillary build- ings that have been sold in the last year to buyers for a mix of re- uses, according to interviews and county records. The diocese started imple- menting a cost-cutting consolida- tion plan to close some schools and half of the 90 churches in Lu- zerne County in 2009, raising questions about what would hap- pen to the religious structures listed for sale. The Bear Creek Foundation, Inc., which is linked to the char- ter school, purchased the church for $148,000 in December. Hazle Township residents Gio- vanni and Paula Ann DiBlasi PETE G.

Despite all of that study, Suka- nya’s father Ab- hi Roy said the greatest lesson his daughter learned at the 2011 spelling bee was not academic. “It taught her the value of hard work, setting goals and meeting challenges,” he said. “It’s not just about words. Those are the values that we’re trying to teach her, and they’re going to serve her later in life.” On Thursday, 14-year-old Su- kanya, an eighth-grader at Abington Heights Middle School, took home the top prize in the National Spelling Bee. It was the third time Sukanya made it to single-elimination rounds of the national competi- tion; she finished in 20th place last year and tied for 12th in 2009. Abhi Roy said he and his wife Mousumi helped their daughter devise a study plan and would quiz Sukanya on words. Both of Sukanya’s parents are scholars – Abhi Roy teaches mar- keting at The University of Scranton and Mousumi Roy is an independent mathematics scholar who formerly taught at Johns Hopkins University and the Penn State Worthington Scranton campus. “We encourage her to enjoy learning,” Abhi Roy said. “That’s HOMEL ESS SI TUATI ON Mike Smith talks about how REACH has helped him with food and a job search.

WILKES-BARRE – Mike Smith, Skip Constable, Bryan Hogan, Kathy Boston and a man named Jeb have all been helped by REACH to the point where they are living on their own and getting their lives back together. Each has a story of how they have coped with life and its ups and downs. They are regulars at REACH, the home- less day center on South Franklin Street in Wilkes- Barre. None of them want to see the center close. On a recent visit to the center, the five offered their thoughts on homelessness and the need for help. On most days more than 40 homeless enter the basement of St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church to get a shower, check their mail, grab a little breakfast or use a telephone. But on July 1, the homeless services at REACH go away due to budgetary constraints. The clients will then filter into the streets to find a place to hang out, keep warm or have a conversation.

POLICE BLOTTER WILKES-BARRE – A growing citizens group is seeking to con- nect citizens and train “resident reporters” to effect change in Northeastern Pennsylvania. The NEPA Organizing Center, founded in 2008, hosted an ori- entation for its recently launched media program at the Arts YOUniverse building on North Franklin Street Saturday. The volunteer group, which in January moved to a new office in the Luzerne Bank Building on Public Square, aims to provide the area community the means to develop long-term solutions to human rights issues. It is wholly staffed by volunteers and is funded solely by private do- nors. Founder Frank Sindaco, 38, said the group is initially focus- ing its efforts on housing by reac- hing out to homeowners facing foreclosure and residents of pub- lic housing communities. Volun- teers contact owners of homes slated for sheriff’s mortgage fore- closure sales to provide referrals to agencies that can help, and or- ganize meetings with public housing residents about the diffi- culties and problems they face. “While we’re referring people to services, we also identify what services there are and where there’s a gap,” Sindaco said. “We see this as a widespread problem,” he continued. “If it’s not affecting everyone in our community, everyone knows someone that it’s affected… The economy is causing massive dis- placement and we as a communi- ty need to figure out what we need to do to stop it.” Organizers said the resident reporters program ties into its holistic goal of connecting citi- zens to create change. “Media can be about more than just getting the word out,” said media coordinator Mitch Troutman, 25, of Wilkes-Barre. “It’s also really good for building relationships; going to talk to someone who’s in the same sit- uation as you.” Steve Simko, an amateur polit- ical cartoonist and member of a group opposed to Marcellus Shale gas drilling in and around Harding, said he attended the meeting Saturday because the stories of citizens whose lives have been negatively impacted by gas drilling do not receive ad- equate attention in the media. “I came to see what was in- volved; how we can promote bet- ter communication to the people of the actual facts,” Simko said. Sindaco started the Organiz- ing Center three years ago after working in human-rights orga- nizing for 15 years, mostly in Phi- ladelphia. He said he came to Wilkes-Barre because he saw a need for community organizers in the area. “I recognized that after the de- cline of unions, there wasn’t much ability to organize in small and medium-size towns, at a time when we need it most,” Sin- daco said. He hopes that bringing orga- nizers together around issues like housing and natural gas drilling will foster long-term col- laboration, eventually leading them to take on higher goals. “All of these issues are inter- woven, based on issues like eco- nomic change; what do we want to do about where we’re going in the future,” he said. Later this summer, the center hopes to bring together about 100 community leaders fromthis area and others for a conference to further that collaboration. New group eyes change Volunteers organize to help people deal with human rights issues, such as loss of home.

And more research is needed to detect the diseaseat anearlier, morerespon- sive stage. “My father was diagnosedwith pancreatic cancer a year agoandI wanted to do something to raise awareness, so I decided to take over the event this year,” ex- plained event coordinator Jackie Degnan as she stood beneath an elaborate archof purple balloons. “Next year wehopetomakethe run a national Purple Stride Event,” added Degnan, referring to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, which sponsors the events internationally. The National Cancer Institute states that more than 43,000 new cases of pancreatic cancer are di- agnosed each year, with 38,000 being terminal. Research has showngenetics as alikelyriskfac- tor incontracting the disease. “We really have a beautiful day for the run,” said volunteer Jason Jolleyof Dallas. “Iwantedtocome out and help in any way I could.

M U S I C F O R S A L E WESTPITTSTON–Bill Goldsworthy will wear two hats until Tuesday, when he submits his resignation as mayor. Goldsworthy, 56, has been hired as deputy director of the Northeast region- al governor’s office that covers 18 coun- ties. He began working in the position that pays $65,000 a year last week, he said Saturday. Goldsworthy saidhe traveled to Harrisburg a few times to meet with representatives of Gov. Tom Corbett about the position that opened with the change in administra- tions in January. “I was very interested in it,” said the lifelong Republican. Goldsworthy said he had no idea whether others were interviewed for the spot, and he said he was excited to sup- port the governor. As deputy director, he will be the gov- ernor’s point man in the region, meeting with elected officials, dealing with con- stituents andissues that develop, includ- ing natural gas drilling in the Marcellus Shale formation. “I’m sure that will be one of the top- ics,” said Goldsworthy. He shares the office with Harry Forbes, a former Pike County commis- sioner. Throughout the state there are four regional offices. For nearly 15 years, Goldsworthy has been mayor of the borough of West Pitt- ston. He also served on council and as a zoning officer and fire chief. He said he was allowed to stay in pub- lic office until next week and will recom- mendTonyDeniscotosucceedhiminof- fice. “He’s a great people person,” said Goldsworthy. The two men have worked together for 20 years, said Goldsworthy. “He has the community at heart,” he said, adding Denisco is a lifelong resi- dent of the borough and has been very active in the community. Denisco serves as the borough’s Emergency Manage- ment Agency director. Likewise, Goldsworthy saidhe is com- mitted to working for the betterment of the community. His new position gives him the opportunity to help a lot more people compared to the mayor’s office. In addition to departing his elected of- fice, Goldsworthy will leave his position as vice president of major accounts for Golden Business Machines in Kingston, where he has worked for 31 years, and give up his real estate license. He added he is taking a pay cut in his new job but is able to deal with that be- cause of changes at home. “I have four children who have gradu- ated and moved out of the house,” he said. W.

By JERRY LYNOTT [email protected] Goldsworthy Once upon a time, a young couple drove past a small church in Dallas. He already knewhe wanted to be a priest. She already knew she wanted to be a certain priest’s wife. “Wouldn’t it be nice to have that as our church?” they asked each other. A few years, two ordinations and a wedding later, the Rev. Jack Prater and his wife, Ingrid, found themselves called to serve at that little church and for the next 35years, Prater ministered to the spiritual needs of the congrega- tionas rector of Princeof PeaceEpisco- pal Church. That ministry made such an impres- siononthe Prince of Peace community that parishioners made Prater Rector Emeritus when he retired. And today, more than 14 years after he stepped aside, the current congregation of his former parish will recognize years of devotion to ministry by dedicating the church’s community room to Jack and Ingrid Prater. The dedication and reception will take place following the 9 a.m. Mass and will include the unveiling of a plaque naming the room in honor of the Praters. Parishioner Jean Carson coordinated the event to celebrate the Praters’ ministry at Prince of Peace, which began Labor Day weekend in 1962. “Back in 1968 or 1969, my family came to Prince of Peace.

If confirmed, it would be another blow against the terror orga- nization a month after the slaying of its leader. The purported death of Ilyas Kash- miri — who also was accused of killing many Pakistanis — could help soothe US-Pakistan ties that nearly unraveled after the May 2 bin Laden raid. While it was unclear how Kashmiri was tracked, his name was on a list of militants that both countries recently agreed to joint- ly target as part of measures to restore trust, officials have said. It also would be a major victory for U.S. intelligence, particularly the con- troversial CIA-run drone program. WILDWOOD, N.J. Amusement park reopens A Jersey shore boardwalk amuse- ment park that closed after an 11-year- old girl tumbled from a moving Ferris wheel to her death reopened Saturday while investigators tried to figure out what caused her fall. A spokeswoman for Morey’s Mari- ner’s Landing Pier in Wildwood said the park reopened at noon. It was closed Friday night, hours after the death of 11-year-old Abiah Jones. Jones was with her classmates from Pleasant Tech Academy when she plunged about 100 feet, from near the top of the ride, and landed in the pas- senger loading area, police and amuse- ment park officials said. She was pro- nounced dead at a hospital about 45 minutes later. The Ferris wheel was to remain closed until the cause of the girl’s fall is determined. ZAGREB, CROATIA Pope is backing Croatia Pope Benedict XVI strongly backed Croatia’s bid to join the European Union as he arrived in the Balkan na- tion Saturday, but said he could under- stand fears among euroskeptics of the EU’s “overly strong” centralized bu- reaucracy. The pontiff also expressed the Vat- ican’s long-running concern that Eu- rope needs to be reminded of its Chris- tian roots “for the sake of historical truth” as he began his first trip as pope to Croatia, a deeply Roman Catholic country that his predecessor visited three times during and after the bloody Balkan wars of the 1990s. Benedict is spending the weekend to mark the Croatian church’s national family day, and he was warmly wel- comed by thousands of young Croats who braved a steady rain while waiting for Benedict to arrive for an evening prayer vigil. ORLANDO, FLA. Forensic expert takes stand An FBI forensic expert says a hair removed from the trunk of Casey An- thony’s car is consistent with hair from a dead body. Karen Korsberg Lowe testified Sat- urday in Anthony’s murder trial. The Florida mother is accused of killing her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee. Lowe says she examined a light- brown, 9-inch-long hair for this case. She says the hair was similar to one pulled from Caylee’s brush and was not similar to a hair sample from Casey Anthony. She also says the hair showed charac- teristics consistent with decomposi- tion.

KABUL, Afghanistan — U.S. De- fense Secretary Robert Gates appealed for patience with an unpopular war and said Saturday that only modest U.S. troop reductions would make sense this summer in a still unstable Afghan- istan. On his 12th and final visit to Afghan- istan as Pentagon chief, Gates held out the possibility of a turning point in the war by year’s end. But Gates, who’s re- tiring June 30, said much depends on whether the death of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden creates a new open- ing for peace negotiations with leaders of the Taliban insurgency. This and other aspects of the war, now in its 10th year, were on the agen- da for Gates’ meetings Saturday with Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. and NATO commander here, and with U.S. Ambassador Karl Eikenberry. A deci- sion on U.S. troop reductions is expect- ed in the next couple of weeks. Gates stressed the effectiveness of U.S.-led NATO military operations against the Taliban over the past year, after President Barack Obama ordered an extra 30,000 U.S. troops to Afghan- istan. Gains have been notable in the south, the heartland of the Taliban movement. “I believe that if we can hold on to the territory that has been recaptured fromthe Taliban ... and perhaps expand that security, that we will be in position toward the end of this year to perhaps have a successful opening to reconcil- iation” with the Taliban — “or at least be in a position where we can say we’ve turned the corner here in Afghanistan,” Gates said. “Making any changes prior to that time would be premature,” he added. Together with remarks he made about Afghanistan earlier Saturday at a security conference in Singapore, Gates’ statements suggest that he wor- ries that large U.S. troop cuts this year would run the risk of undermining bat- tlefield gains and jeopardize a NATO- endorsed plan to remove all foreign combat troops from Afghanistan by 2015. The White House is pushing for bigger reductions than are favored by the military.

By ROBERT BURNS AP National Security Writer CHICAGO — Millions of women at higher-than-usual risk of breast cancer have a new op- tion for preventing the disease. Pfizer Inc.’s Aromasin cut the risk of developing breast cancer by more than half, without the side effects that have curbed en- thusiasm for other prevention drugs, a major study found. It was the first test in healthy women of new- er hormone- blocking pills called aroma- tase inhibitors, sold as Arimi- dex, Femara and Aromasin, and in generic form. They’re used now to prevent recur- rences in breast cancer patients who are past meno- pause, and doctors have long suspected they may help pre- vent initial cases, too. Prevention drugs aren’t ad- vised for women at average risk of breast cancer. Those at high- er risk because of gene muta- tions or other reasons already have two choices for prevention — tamoxifen and raloxifene. But these drugs are unpopular because they carry small risks of uterine cancer, blood clots and other problems. “Here’s a third breast cancer prevention drug that may in fact be safer,” said Dr. Allen Lichter, chief executive of the American Society of Clinical Oncology. New drug cuts risk of cancer Hormone-blocking pills can reduce chances of women getting breast cancer. It was the first test in healthy wom- en of newer hormone- blocking pills called aroma- tase inhib- itors. By MARILYNN MARCHIONE AP Medical Writer was hit by another roundof airstrikes and at least eight explosions sounded in the capital. The use of helicopters significantly ramped up NATO’s operations and was a major boost to Libyan rebels, just a day after the fighters forced government troops from three western towns and broke the siege of a fourth. It was yet an- other erosion of Gadhafi’s power since the eruption in mid-February of the up- rising to end his 42-year rule. NATO said the helicopters struck BENGHAZI, Libya — British and French attack helicopters struck for the first time inside Libya, giving the NATO campaign more muscle against Moam- mar Gadhafi’s forces. Hours later, Tripoli troops trying to hide in populated areas, militaryvehicles andequipment. Lt. Gen. Charles Bouchard, commander of the Li- bya operation, said the engagement “demonstrates the unique capabilities brought to bear by attack helicopters.” Until now, NATO has relied on attack jets, generally flying above 15,000 feet (4,500 meters) —nearly three miles (five kilometers) high. The jets primarily strike government targets but there have been cases where they missed and hit re- bels instead. Choppers strike Gadhafi troops British and French attack gives NATO campaign more strength and boosts Libyan rebel effort. By HADEEL AL-SHALCHI Associated Press SANAA, Yemen — Yemen’s wound- ed president accepted an offer from the Saudi king to travel there for med- ical treatment for burns and wounds from a splintered pulpit blown apart in a opposition rocket attack, but had not yet left Sanaa, the capital, by Saturday night. A flurry of conflicting reports about President Ali Abdullah Saleh’s where- abouts and condition spread through the Middle East late Saturday after Ye- meni government officials and opposi- tion tribal leaders reported that Saudi King Abdullah had mediated a cease- fire in the raging conflict in Yemen. Abdullah intervened to tamp down what has become an all-out military conflict on his southern border. The capital and other areas of Ye- men grew quiet for the first time in days after dawn Saturday, though the head of the tribal confederation bat- tling Saleh’s forces accused them of not observing the cease-fire.

Even after Carson and her fam- ily moved away, they stayed in touch with the Praters. “By then, they were not only part of our parish, they were friends,” she said, “so we stayed in contact and it was like we nev- er left.” A few years ago, Carson re- turned to the area and to Prince of Peace. Whenthe idea of honor- ing the Praters came up, she said she was happy to take the lead on arranging a special day for her long-time friends. “They did so much for the par- ish and they care about everybo- dy. Even when you were talking to them and asking about them, they turned it around to find out how you were and what was go- ing on with you,” she said. “They are just wonderful people.” It’s clear the Praters felt the same about their years at Prince of Peace. “The whole experience at Prince of Peace was tremendous. That’s why were there forever, for 35 years,” said Jack, 77. “It was such a warm community to be in. It always was that way.” “We had antique shows, we had craft shows and couples group. There was lots of fellow- ship, and not just on Sunday mornings. The spirit was good there,” said Ingrid, 78. “Gosh, we had so much fun! The couple smiled recalling the youth group and the craft group that met in the very room now being dedicated to them. “We had a group there that helped design the diocesan quilt, which is still on display in the ca- thedral (Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem),” Ingrid said, not- ing that the group was so fun to be with that a woman who was neither a parishioner nor even Episcopalian joined in to help with the quilt design. Of course, in 35 years all the moments weren’t good. Both Jack and Ingrid quickly recall one of the worst: a mid-1960s fu- neral. “I buried a whole family – mother, father and three children – from a New Year’s Day early morning fire. That is very much imprinted in my mind,” said Jack. The Praters said there were a few other much more minor challenges, what they called “lit- tle edges,” from time to time. “But they were smoothed over and you don’t see those now when you’re looking back,” Jack said. Looking all the way back to the beginning finds Jack, a Forty Fort native, and Ingrid, who is from Germany, meeting when both were students at what was then Wilkes College. Even then, he said, he knew he was headed for the priesthood. “I was brought up in and al- ways loved everything about the Episcopal Church. I just knew that was what I wanted to do,” said Jack, whose older brother and younger sister are also Epis- copal priests. After graduating from Wilkes, he attended Virginia Theological Seminary in Alexandria. His classes and fellowship with his classmates stand out as happy memories of that time, Jack said. The food does not. “But they had peanut butter jars on every table, so if you didn’t like the food you could eat that,” he said. He was ordained as a transi- tional deacon at Grace Church in Kingston in 1958. “When you’re ordained (in the Episcopal Church), you’re a dea- con for the first six months so you can’t celebrate the Euchar- ist,” he said. That came after his second ordination at Holy Apos- tles Church in St. Clair. “I can remember the first Eu- charist I served,” Jack said. “It was Christmas Eve and it was such a humbling experience to have that privilege given to you. It was just marvelous.” For a time, his ministry was in the St. Clair and Minersville ar- ea, where he celebrated Masses at three churches each week. In 1962, the Prince of Peace congre- gation chose him as their new rector. “I remember being very im- pressed with the area when they took us for a tour, and with the new Dallas High School which was just being built and which they are now tearing down,” In- grid said. By then, the couple had two children and a third on the way. “We looked at it and said, ‘There is our high school, where our children will go.’ It was so new, so beautiful.” The Prater children did all graduate from Dallas, and all took as active a role in the Prince of Peace congregation as their parents. The two boys served as acolytes, while the Prater’s daughter played the organ. “We hired her as a substitute until we could finda replacement -- whichhappened30 years later,” Jack said, noting with obvious pride that his daughter “did a great job” as organist and choir director. “It was our family church,” said Ingrid of the church she and Jack still belong to. “Our chil- dren were married there, Jack baptized many of our grandchil- dren there. I don’t think the kids minded it, being preacher’s kids. That might be because other than service to Prince of Peace, family was the most important thing in the Praters’ lives. “I could have loved golf, but I preferred not to take that time away from the kids,” Jack said. “He always took Saturday off, not Monday like many ministers, so we could have that time with the children,” Ingrid said. Another priority for Jack dur- ing his ministry was visits to his parishioners. “He left Monday at 8 a.m. and went calling. That’s how he ex- pressed his pastoral calling, see- ing where people were living, where they were having difficul- ties, where they had joys,” Ingrid said. “To me, it was essential,” Jack said. “That’s how you get to know your people. There’s no better way to get to know them. And doing that, I had 35 great years of ministry.” That ministry also included decades of prison ministry, where the Praters taught a course in decision making and problemsolving at the State Cor- rectional Institution at Dallas. To this day, both Jack and Ingrid continue minis- tering to several life inmates through correspondence. He retired in 1997 and other thana brief five-monthstint as an interim pastor at Trinity Church in West Pittston while that par- ish was calling a new rector, the Praters’ lives turned more to- ward family and spending time with their growing brood of grandchildren, which now num- bers11. But, Jack concedes, some parts of being retired have been hard. “I miss the people, and I miss offering services. Christmas Eve and Easter especially, that’s very difficult for me, not to be cele- brating Eucharist,” Jack said, his regret and longing visible on his face. Reflecting on their years of ser- vice, Jack said he knows how he would like to be remembered. “I want themto say I was a car- ing priest,” he said. “That was al- ways my simple hope and wish.” The fact that the Prince of Peace congregation is naming the parish community roomafter him would seem to acknowledge that he has accomplished goal. “This is just unbelievable, and humbling,” Jack said. “When they named himRector Emeritus at the time of his retire- ment, that was honor enough. This just tops it off,” said Ingrid. “It has been so great to be at Prince of Peace. It was a wonder- ful, wonderful time.” “It certainly was,” said Jack. “That’s why we stayed there 35 years. That’s why we’re still there.” PRATERS Continued from Page 3A Jack, age 77, was raised in Forty Fort Ingrid, age 78, is a native of Ger- many Met while both were students at Wilkes College Married in November 1957; cur- rently reside in Plymouth Town- ship Parents of three: Debbie Chap- man, John and Scott; they have 11 grandchildren Jack was ordained as an Episcopal priest in 1958, served in St. Clair and Minersville before returning to this area Served as rector of Prince of Peace Episcopal Church in Dallas for 35 years; retired in 1997 Ingrid enjoys reading, while Jack enjoys watching sports.

Recording sessions lasted more than 50 hours at the Rock Street Music studio, whose owner Richie Kos- suth donated the space. Ex- ecutive producers of the CD are Kevin Nesses and Shan- na Zell of Oasis Records, based in Lodi, N.J. Music contributors are Jim Bren- nan and John Mahon. Area businesses that con- tributed to the production are Ace Robbins Heating and Propane, Tunkhannock, Sheldon Kukuchka Funeral Home, Tunkhannock, and Tunkhannock Monument Company. All proceeds of the sale of the CD will be given to the Miller family, Lynch and McGroarty said. “This is the first compact disc I worked on involving bagpipes, it was definitely a learning experience,” McGroarty said. “It’s an in- teresting CD for a noble cause.” Lynch said it was McGroarty’s idea to change The song was renamed “The Hero’s Call” to incor- porate the wider tribute. “There was such an out- pouring of emotion by the public after Joshwas killed,” Lynch said. “I was sitting at home one night watching TV when I thought there have been songs written for other heroes, for police, and the military. Why not a song for Josh?” Lynch picked up his bag- pipe and with Sands, “The Hero Call” was born. After the song made its debut, Lynch started asking around about producing the song onto a compact disc. Other state troopers re- ferred Lynch to Kevin McGroarty, of West Pitt- ston, who is on the board of directors for the state police Camp Cadet program. “They played the song a couple of times and I said, “The Hero Miller” to “The Hero’s Call” to honor fallen first-responders and service members. “Chuck (Sands) and I were OK with the change, we just took it one step fur- ther to honor all those killed while protecting the public and our country,” Lynch said. Miller was killed in a shooting while attempting to rescue a kidnapped child on Route 611 in Coolbaugh Township, Monroe County. Lynch said Miller’s wid- ow, Angela, agreed to the production of the compact disc. “It took several months to get it to where we liked it,” Lynch said. “We spent hours in the studio, recording and re-recording and editing, and recording. There are other songs on the CD hon- oringall branches of the U.S. Armed Forces.” MUSICAL Continued from Page 3A To hear “The Hero’s Call,” go to timesleader.com.

Thomas Ave. • Kingston HARRISBURG — About once a month on average since the be- ginning of the year, Republican- controlled states have approved laws requiring voters to show photo identification at the polls. Kansas, SouthCarolina, Texas, Wisconsin, Tennessee —all have either adoptednewrequirements or expanded existing identifica- tion laws to specify photo IDs, pushing the total number of statesthat requirethemto13. Six- teenotherstatesrequirenon-pho- to identification. Pennsylvania — with its huge Republican gains in last year’s midterm elections that included the governorship and control of both houses of the Legislature — is nowpoised to consider a photo ID bill. The House State Govern- ment Committee sent it to the floor and initial consideration couldcome as early as next week. Whether the state will join or buck the national trend is any- one’s guess. In2006, mostly onthe strength of Republican votes, the Legisla- ture passed a bill that required all voters to show identification ev- erytimetheyvote. FormerDemo- cratic governor Ed Rendell ve- toedthemeasure, sayingit would make voting unnecessarily diffi- cult. Currently, only people vot- ing in a polling place for the first time are required to showID. Whatever the outcome, the lat- est bill sets up a showdown be- tween Republicans who have fought for years to require identi- ficationat the polls, saying that is needed to prevent election fraud, and Democrats who say there is little evidence of abuse and that the GOP’s real motivation is to hold down turnout among voter groups that lean toward Demo- cratic candidates. So far, more Democrats than Republicans are publicly talking about the bill. The state Demo- cratic Party planned to put up on- line ads urging senior citizens to call their legislators to register opposition to the measure. Older people, as well as low-income people, students and minorities, are among the groups that critics say wouldbe most affectedby the proposal. “It addresses a problem that doesn’t exist,” party spokesman Mark Nicastre said. The bill, sponsoredby Rep. Da- ryl Metcalfe, would require all voterstoshowpoll officialsavalid document issued by the state or federal governments that in- cludes their name and photo- graph. Thosewholacksuchdocu- mentation could obtain identifi- cationcardsthat thestateDepart- ment of Transportation would be required to issue at no cost to the voter. Metcalfe, R-Butler, saystheleg- islation would reduce voter fraud by requiring nothing more than a form of identification that is al- readyroutinelyrequiredfor activ- ities that include operating a mo- tor vehicle, boarding a commer- cial airplane or cashing a check. Thebill “isessential topreserving thesacredfreedomof votingfrom the ever-present forces of corrup- tionseekingtooverridethewill of the people,” Metcalfe said. The American Civil Liberties Union, Common Cause and the League of Women Voters all op- pose the measure. Democrats argue that many se- nior citizens lack government-is- sued identification and that the additional redtapecoulddiscour- age themfromvoting. Pennsylvania considers approving photo ID bill So far, more Democrats than Republicans are publicly talking about the bill. By PETER JACKSON Associated Press HARRISBURG — The heady, initial optimism that new Gov. TomCorbett’s major agenda items would advance quickly through a Legislature controlled by his fel- low Republicans is dissolving as thedetailsget sticky, philosophical differences emerge and the debate is increasingly strident. Now, the Senate’s Judiciary Committee chairman is standing up to the governor, House leaders and leading business lob- bying groups over a bill that would limit the exposure of some civil court defendants to damages awarded by juries. Privatization of the state-controlled liquor stores is on hold while Republicans work out details of abill that has yet to be introduced and await a study of howmuchmoney the state should expect to reap. And votes, at least for now, ap- pear to be lacking for bills that would make it harder to increase school property taxes without vot- er approval and to expand the amount of taxpayer money availa- bletopayfor childrentoattendpri- vate schools. All must overcome strong oppo- sition from Democrats and labor unions. Meanwhile, sniping be- tween Corbett and Republican lawmakers is largely being done quietly while they insist publicly that bumps anddisagreements are minor enough to be resolved in short order. With legislators expecting to wrap up a state budget within the next four weeks and leave Harris- burg until September, it is increas- ingly likely that Corbett’s major planks may have to wait until the fall — at least. Suchatimelineis not unusual in Pennsylvania’s characteristically deliberative Legislature. But ex- pectations early in the year had been much more ambi- tious, given Novem- ber’s strong GOP election perform- ance and the party’s control of the Legis- lature and gover- nor’s office. “I think you’re go- ingtosee significant cooperation be- tween the House andSenateinresolv- ing a significant number of issues,” said House Majority Leader Mike Turzai, R-Allegheny. “We all knowthat we have to get the budget done and we have to get it done in a timely and responsible manner, but I think ... some of the priority issues of this administration and these chambers will get done by June 30.” Tactical andphilosophical differ- ences betweenthe House andSen- ate are apparent. For instance, Rep. Curt Schrod- er, R-Chester, expressed irritation that twice this year a Senate com- mitteechairmanhas pronounceda bill “deadonarrival” after it passed the House. And amid finger-point- ing over why a private-school voucher bill hasn’t passed the Sen- ate, Schroder saidheis planningto introducehisowntwo-bill package on the subject. Corbett’s spokesman, Kevin Harley, saidthereis still hopefor at least acoupleof thegovernor’s ma- jor priorities to pass in June. “June 30’s not here yet,” Harley said. “Certainly the priority is to get abalancedbudget without rais- ing taxes ... and we’ll continue to move forward on these other is- sues. It’s very important to get these things done.” Still, the governor’s ability to persuadelawmakersisinquestion. For instance, a school voucher bill remains stuck in the Senate even after Corbett’s staff got in- volved in hammering out details. And the House last week voted down a major unemployment compensation bill that he had sup- ported. “You run for governor, and on a 30,000-foot level you can run on a ‘I’m for that and I’m against that’ level,” said David Patti, president and CEOof Pennsylvanians for Ef- fective Government, a Harrisburg- based business advocacy group. “Once you’re elected, you come down to a 5,000-foot level. Now you get into tactical issues and im- plementation issues that you nev- er thought of before — and that takes some time.” Corbett’s deftness at pushinghis agenda should improve once he gets more top aides firmly in place and learns how to use the bully pulpit that comes with the office, Patti said. One high-priority Corbett bill with a chance of passage in June deals with “joint and several liabil- ity” —theabilityof awrongedper- son to recoup money for damages incourt —that ispittingadvocates of business owners, insurers and health care institutions against trial lawyers and unions. The law in Pennsylvania cur- rently allows a persontopursue all of the jury-awarded damages from a group of defendants in an acci- dent, regardless of how big or small their share of the blame is. Often, a primary defendant is un- able to pay their share. A bill that passed the House in April would limit the ability of a wrongedpersontorecoupahigher proportion of damages than the share of an individual defendant’s blame, whichopponents say could leave many accident victims wronged, injured and without jus- tice. The governor believes the bill is important to the economic vitality of Pennsylvania, Harley said, and thebill’ssupporterssaythecurrent law is harmful and unfair to busi- ness owners. The measure is currently sitting in the Senate Judiciary Commit- tee, where the chairman, Sen. Stewart Greenleaf, R-Montgom- ery, isstudyingit andholdinghear- ings and meetings. Patti, Turzai, Corbett andothers point out that similar bills have passed Republican-controlled leg- islatures twice in the past decade, but one measure was overturned by state appellate courts on proce- dural grounds and the other was vetoed by former governor Ed Rendell. And Senate leaders who are fielding complaints from the bill’s championssaytheywon’t pressure Greenleaf or circumvent his com- mittee. “When I’m in the Legislature, I’mgoing to do what I think is fair and just,” Greenleaf said. “That’s what I’mall about. I don’t feel any pressure.” Philosophical differences slow down pace of Pa. governor’s agenda It is increasingly likely that Corbett’s major planks may have to wait until the fall.

LOS ANGELES — Paul Schrade easily recites the details of the last day of his life before he was shot in the head alongside his friend, Sen. Robert F. Kenne- dy. He knows it all by heart, every step he took, every sight and sound as if it was yesterday. In the 43 years Sunday since that transformative night when Schrade came close to losing his life, he has understood the de- tails. But he is shadowed to this day by nagging questions: What really happened that night and who made it happen? Schrade, at 86, tall, white haired and projecting the vitality of a much younger man, has giv- en the second half of his life over to preserving Kennedy’s legacy and trying to unravel the puzzle of his friend’s assassination. He believes there was more than one gunman in the pantry of the Am- bassador Hotel whenhe andKen- nedy and four others were shot. And he plans to publish his story about what he has learned. For now, he declines to say what that is. He estimates he has spent a cu- mulative 10 years chasing clues and he’s still at it. “It’s always on my mind,” Schrade said. “It has to be. The family is not involved because they can’t handle reliving the pain and suffering and they don’t want to expose Ethel to it. But I always keepa member of the fam- ily informed if we’re about to re- lease anything.” But Schrade, who tries to live by the ideals Kennedy espoused, has a lot more tothinkabout than the past. After sinking into deep depres- sion following the assassination, Schrade found a way to move on byachievingadreamwhichsome thought could never happen, the creation of a complex of public schools dedicated to Kennedy’s legacy on the Ambassador Hotel site. “Talk about the school, not about me,” he urged a reporter. But the two are inevitably in- tertwined. The recently opened state-of-the-art school library bears a large sign: “Paul Schrade Library,” and there is a plaque noting his “23 years of struggle to build the finest living memorial” to Kennedy. The Robert F. Kennedy Com- munity Schools opened last Sep- tember. The complex of six schools where a student can go fromkindergarten to high school graduation in one location was built at a cost of $578 million, the most expensive school in the na- tion. The campus includes a thea- ter where the old Cocoanut Grove night club stood with Mo- roccan decor and the same palm leaf carpet pattern that was em- blematic of the room where mo- vie stars and presidents posed for pictures. It is a reminder of how the ho- tel looked the early morning hours of June 5, 1968 when tri- umph turned to tragedy in sec- onds. Schrade remembers the cheers of the crowd and the touch of Kennedy’s hand as they mounted a platform before thousands of supporters who helped him win the California Democratic presi- dential primary. “He gave me new recognition for everything I had done. He thankedme fromthe podiumand hegrabbedmyhand. I was theon- lyoneheshookhands withonthe platform ,” Schrade said.. Schrade, thenwesternregional director of the UnitedAutoWork- ers Union, had been the labor chair of Kennedy’s campaign and was at his side at many events in- cluding a meeting with farm- worker leader Cesar Chavez in rural Delano. On the fateful night, he was waiting with Ken- nedy to see if he would win the pivotal primary. ‘”He knew it was life or death politically that night,” says Schrade. “And it became a death.” But first, he said, there was joy as the tide of votes turned and Kennedy’s victory seemed as- sured. “There was a wonderful spirit upstairs on the fifth floor of the Ambassador Hotel,” he said. “I sat with Bob and Ethel. There came a point when the decision was made to go downstairs a lit- tle after midnight.” REMEMBERI NG RF K Shooting survivor Paul Schrade creates complex of public schools Victim preserves the legacy of slain politician By LINDA DEUTSCH AP Special Correspondent AP PHOTO Paul Schrade stands inside the Paul Schrade Library at Robert F.

Personal approach Wolownik, 53, the director for 10 years, goes about her job like a den mother hovering over her pack. She cares about her clients and they return the affection ten- fold. The people that use RE- ACH services are worried about what an already uncer- tain future holds. They don’t want to see their “home” go away. But the real- ization that there is not much that they can do about it leaves them even more frightened. “No kid says that when he grows up he wants to be homeless,” said Bryan Hogan, 49. “If this place closes, a lot of people will be stuck.” Wolownik said REACH pro- vides a place for homeless people to go everyday; to hang out, kib- bitz, joke around, watch TV, and relax. It gives them somewhere to go to escape the challenge of not having anywhere to go. “When they’re here, they are not out wandering around the streets,” Wolownik said. “Many of them can’t make it out there. They have mental and/or phys- ical issues.” So they walk through the door, down the steps to the church basement where they are wel- comed, not judged. They are treated with respect and with a sincere desire to be helped. As Wolownik says, they get help to navigate through a complicated system to obtain benefits and services; to find jobs; toget their feet firmly plant- ed on the road to recovery. Wolownik said REACH helps those who can work find work andthose whocan’t worksurvive day to day. She talks about the homeless women she deals with – “couch surfers” she calls them. These are women who bounce from apartment toapartment sleeping on couches until they are discov- ered by landlords and are re- moved. When they can’t find another couch to crash on, the women jointheir fellowhomeless menin “abandominiums” – vacant buildings that are used for shel- ter. Morning roll call Wolownik said when Shep- herds of the Streets began, the purpose was to keep families to- gether and out of the foster care system. Now, Wolownik said, the goal is to keep people’s lives to- gether. She does roll call every morning to check for missing regulars. Two of Wolownik’s “family of homeless people” – Robert “Bob- by” Klein and James Moore Jr. - died in a fire last week at 73 Sulli- van St., a 15-minute walk from REACH. “I really don’t know what will become of them,” Wolownik said of her clients. “That’s why we are so worried. We’re concerned that they won’t be able to get where they need to be. A certain per- centage will never be able to get where they need to be.” Wolownik said13 of her clients died last year and 13 more the year before. “As long as they’re alive, there’s always hope,” she said. “God doesn’t give you an infinite number of chances; this may be your last chance. Opportunity knocks once; temptation leans on the doorbell.” State Rep. Eddie Day Pashin- ski, D-Wilkes-Barre, has spoken with the Rev. Daniel Gunn, rec- tor at St. Stephen’s, about what can be done to help the home- less. “Rev. Gunn told me he has been speaking to Monsignor Jo- seph Kelly at Catholic Social Ser- vices about creatinga permanent homeless shelter in the city,” Pashinski said. “There’s just no money for these programs.” Mayor Tom Leighton is aware of the decisionto close the home- less day care center. He knows that the clients will have no place to gather in a matter of weeks andrealizes many of themwill be on the city’s streets. “With REACH closing, people in need of their services will still need and seek those services somewhere,” Leighton said. “The city has worked extremely hard to provide a safe and clean city for all, andthat remains a pri- ority. “The city does not discrimi- nate, and we have no expecta- tions that the closure of REACH will necessarily lead to an in- crease in any type of criminal or unseemly behavior in the down- townor other areas of the city. As they have on a daily basis, police will respond to situations as they develop and take appropriate ac- tion based on the facts of the sit- uation,” he said. So where will they go? Wolow- nik said it best. “You will see themin libraries, coffee shops, hotel lobbies, stores and others,” she said. “They will be wherever they are tolerated for as long as they are allowed.” HOMELESS Continued from Page 1A CLARK VAN ORDEN PHOTOS/THE TIMES LEADER Bryan Hogan sorts some dishes that were donated to REACH. Hogan said that sometimes he will volunteer to help out with different jobs at REACH. • Chronic homeless: Lacking the necessary life skills to live on their own and to hold a job. • Episodic homeless: Possess some skills, but have a tendency to make bad decisions like addic- tion and/or alcohol dependency. • Situational homeless: Recently divorced or separated or jobless; no local family or family is alien- ated. T Y P E S O F H O M E L E S S Couch surfing: Moving from place to place, crashing on couches until they are evicted by intolerable landlords. Abandos or abandominiums: Vacant buildings where homeless people seek shelter at night.

Stefanie Wolow- nik, executive director at RE- ACH, says there isn’t enough being done to help the home- less and she says more people will be facing difficult sit- uations in the future. Here are five stories and faces of the homeless in Wilkes-Barre: Mike Smith Originally from Phoenix, Ariz., Smith, 62, has lived in the Wilkes-Barre area most of his life. He’s been out of work for five years and had been homeless for two and a half years before recently getting an apartment. “I lost everything,” Smith said. “I never expected to be homeless. This place needs to stay open; people need help. I think things are only going to get worse.” The road to homelessness can be rough and Smith’s sto- ry is typical. He’s divorced and his four sons really don’t keep in touch, despite all of them living locally. His health is not good; he has cardiac and back problems. He receives Social Security Disability and that allows him to pay his rent and put gas in his car. He comes to REACH daily for a little food and help in searching for a job. “People like me need a place to call home,” Smith said. By that he means a place where he can meet his friends and talk. When REACH closes at 4:30 p.m., Smith heads to his apartment to a more lone- ly existence. He looks forward to returning to the church basement he and so many others call home. Skip Constable When Constable’s wife, Joanne, died, he said he didn’t handle it very well. Constable, 56, of Pittsburgh, has lived in Wilkes-Barre the last 17 months. A salesman, Constable has been out of work for more than two years. He has battled some physical issues as he’s tried to get back on his feet. While looking for a job, Constable stops at REACH and he works on his art. He paints and draws and finds pleasure in his art. He said Wolownik helped him connect with an apartment and a job. “There’s help around here if you want it,” Constable said. “I feel fortunate that I’ve been able to recover. If it wasn’t for REACH, I don’t think I ever would have been able to make it back.” Constable said people have the wrong impression of home- less people. He said the ster- eotypical image people have of the homeless is a drunken old bum. “The reality is that today’s homeless are not that different than ‘normal’ people,” he said. “Some are recently divorced or separated or have lost jobs.” Constable is an articulate man who can’t wait to start his new job. “We all have choices and decisions to make,” he said. “I decided to do whatever I could to better myself.” If REACH closes, Constable said homeless people will lose the one place where they can have a cup of coffee and feel normal. “Nobody knows what they are going to do,” Constable said. “This is a good place; it shouldn’t just disappear.” Bryan Hogan Hogan, 49, was born in East Stroudsburg, moved to New Jersey when he was a child and ended up in Sugarloaf Township. He moved to Wilkes-Barre a few years ago to seek help. After Hogan’s 7-month-old son died he said he “spent the next year in a bottle.” “I spent all my savings,” he said. A veteran of the U.S. Navy, Hogan got help through the Veterans Assistance Subsidized Housing program. He lives in an apartment in Kingston. “REACH pointed me in the right direction,” Hogan said. “This is a place to gather to see friends and seek help. REACH helps people who are down and out.” Hogan said Wolownik helped him furnish his apartment. She found him a dresser, a bed, dishes and pots and pans. “Politicians must realize that the homeless problem is not going away,” Hogan said. “It will only get worse.” Hogan said his life is getting better. He volunteers as much as he can at REACH to try to help people get their lives back. On Wolownik’s door a sign hangs: “Nobody gets in to see the wizard; not nobody; not no how.” Kathy Boston A 48-year-old woman, Bos- ton spent 15 years on the streets of Wilkes-Barre before she was able to rent an apart- ment five years ago. During her lifetime, Boston has done what she has had to do to stay above water. Wolownik said Boston has always found a way to feed her kids and provide diapers for them when they were young. A familiar face around the city, Boston always offers a smile and a hug. Homeless- ness and street living haven’t made her bitter – cynical, yes, but not bitter. “They always have money for things not as important as this place,” Boston said of the world she lives in. “I just don’t understand why we can’t take care of people.” Boston has an apartment now. She’s proud of that. She is determined to keep the roof over her head. No more street living for her. And she cares about her fellow men and women. “There should be more fund- ing for the homeless,” she said. “They should build a Homeless Hotel.” Jeb A handyman who still does carpentry and odd jobs, Jeb lives in the woods somewhere in Larksville. He says his place isn’t so bad. He lives under a tarp and he has more than one level to his woodsy pad. At 56, Jeb has no family – his past includes a marriage and kids, but he doesn’t talk about that time. “It can’t be reconciled,” Jeb says. Originally from William- sport, Jeb has lived in the woods for nine years. He said he survives the winters by using a kerosene heater and wearing more clothes. He visits REACH every day. He wouldn’t give his last name; he said he’s off the grid and wants to stay there. “If not for this place, I would have no identity,” Jeb said. “This place means a lot to a lot of people – a lot of them have no place to go.” And where will they go after July 1? “You’ll see them in store- fronts, parks and hotel lob- bies,” Jeb said. “And the next stop for a lot of them will be jail.” Jeb said he has been all over the U.S. and he has expe- rienced the homeless scene in many cities. He said REACH is the best program he has ever encountered. “They help people,” he said. “That’s what this place has done for me.” REACH Continued from Page 1A CLARK VAN ORDEN/THE TIMES LEADER A poster of the faces of some of the homeless who have passed away in recent years hangs in the dayroom of REACH.

Santino Ferretti, of West Wyoming, and Patrick Hadley, of Pittston, paid $280,000 in De- cember for the former Blessed Sacrament Roman Catholic Church on Division Street in Hughestown. The men have rented out the rectory and are converting the church into four apartments, said Hughestown Borough Council President Wayne Quick. The church closed last fall. “It was a concern of the resi- dents when the church became vacant because they didn’t know what it was going to be,” Quick said. “They’re doing a nice job with the renovations. They did a lot of landscaping outside al- ready.” The former St. John’s Church on Miller Street in Luzerne was sold last July for $28,200 to the Clarks Summit-based Celestial Church of Christ Word of God Parish, records show. The Celes- tial Church has been holding ser- vices in the building, said bor- ough council President Michael Jancuska. “Right now it’s a productive building. You don’t want a build- ing to be left alone and become dilapidated,” he said. Retired Penn State professor Francis D. Pierucci purchased the massive former St. John’s Slavonic Roman Catholic Church in Foster Township for $30,000 in November, with dreams of turning it into an an- tique business. Pierucci died a month later, leaving the build- ing’s fate unknown. Pierucci’s friend, Melissa Lon- gazel, said he wanted the 7,822- square-foot stone church be- cause it was old like the treasures he planned to display inside. The church’s high ceilings would have been ideal for displaying his tapestries, Longazel said. Hazleton resident Thomas C. Bast is now the proud owner of the former rectory of Holy Trin- ity Slovak Roman Catholic Church on North Wyoming Street in Hazleton. He purchased the property through a Realtor in September for $125,000. Bast said he liked its first-floor suite and space for his extended family. The building once housed a priest, assistants, a housekeeper and cook, he said. People still refer to his house as the rectory because it’s next to the vacant and unsold church, he said. The church auditorium is across the street. Relic of past use One lingering sign of his home’s past remains in the base- ment – a large safe that once stored church monetary collec- tions. The safe door is open, but he can’t use it because nobody knows the combination. The safe is too heavy to remove. Bast said he feels at home in the former church property. “There are creeks and groans and doors that close by them- selves, but it’s turned out real nice,” he said. The Hazle Township Munici- pal Authority is using the former Church of the Sacred Heart of Je- sus community building on Route 940 for offices and storage, said township Supervisor Gal- lagher. The authority paid $175,000 to buy the building in February. Another authority – the Lu- zerne County Housing Authority – bought the former Sacred Heart Church in Plains Town- ship for $150,000 in January. The authority plans to demolish the church and convent and build an apartment building for the elder- ly, officials have said. Harrisburg resident Daniel McGlynn bought the former St. Vincent’s Church parsonage for $95,000 in September. McGlynn could not be reached for com- ment, and borough officials say they have not received a propos- al from McGlynn stating how he plans to reuse the roughly 7,000- square-foot brick residential property. At least one more purchase is in the works. Theatrical future The Nuremberg Community Players is about to close on the former St. Joseph Catholic Church in the Nuremberg sec- tion of Black Creek Township. Built in 1888, the church host- ed its final Mass last June and is slated to be sold to the theater group for roughly $28,000. The theater group wanted a permanent home for its perform- ances and chose the former church because it has good acoustics, pews that will provide plenty of seating and room for a stage and would keep the group in the county’s southwest edge, said theater group member Ann Bonacci. “It’s very exciting because members of that congregation are pleased that the church will be used again,” Bonacci said. The Rev. Patrick McDowell, pastor of the Sacred Heart and St. Joseph Parish, said the sale will allow the parish to save money on maintenance and property taxes on the former church. Residents will still get to enjoy the building, and theater is a “proper fit” for a former sacred building, he said. The former St. Christopher’s in Bear Creek Township was sold with the condition that it can’t be used for any purpose that con- flicted with church doctrine, Smith said. The cross atop the steeple will be removed this summer, but the stained glass windows and part of the name will remain. The building will be called the St. Christopher Community Center, he said. “One of the reasons we’re keeping the stained glass and name is to preserve the history of that building,” Smith said. “Peo- ple got married there. Children were baptized there. There is a sense of respect we have to have for that facility.” The Nuremberg Community Players haven’t decided on a name for its former church build- ing, but the group has a plan to pay homage to its roots, Bonacci said. “We’re hoping to do “God- spell” as our first performance in the new building. We thought that would be a great way to start,” she said. The deed for the sale of the for- mer St. Nazarius Church in Hazle Township contains a detailed cov- enant stipulating that the proper- ty may not be used for any pur- pose that contradicts the teach- ings or doctrine of the Catholic Church or diocese. The buyers and their succes- sors and heirs must “respect the nature of the prior use” as a church and may not use the prop- erty to “denigrate human digni- ty,” the deed says. The buyers must also “give proper respect” to the “right to life of all persons born and unborn,” it says.

CHURCHES Continued from Page 1A Luzerne County has started taxing church properties that are not usedfor religious services, of- ficials say. The county Board of Assess- ment Appeals had authorized the assessor’s office to proceed with the taxation plan around the end of 2009 after other counties start- ing issuing tax bills to closed churches and parochial schools. The first tax bills went out last year, and some additional church properties wereaddedtotherolls this year, records show. The law says all churches or “actual places of regularly stated religious worship” should be ex- empt, but county Assessment Di- rector Tony Alu said this condi- tion isn’t met when there is no regular worship. County assessment records show an estimated 30 church properties have returned to taxa- ble status to date. Most are part of the Diocese of Scranton, which implemented a consolidation plan to close some schools and churches throughout the county to save money. The 30 properties have a com- bined assessed value of about $8.6 million, which equates to roughly $44,995 in county tax revenue. The rest of the tax bill varies based on each property’s school and municipal tax rates. Court-level assessment ap- peals are pending on at least 11of the 30 properties, according to a review of records in the protho- notary office. Scranton Diocese spokesman William Genello said the diocese has been reviewing each church property added to the tax rolls and files an appeal “if necessary.” “The diocese is committed to workingwithtaxingbodies toen- sure that taxes are properly ap- plied and appropriately paid,” Genello said. Attorney Francis J. Hoegen has been handling most of the assess- ment appeals for the diocese, re- cords show. Some church properties that were part of the diocese consoli- dation plan should remain ex- empt because they are still used for religious activities, Hoegen said. “The fundamental use hasn’t changed, but the frequency of use has changed in some cases,” he said. Some of Hoegen’s appeals at- tempt to return properties to tax- exempt status, while others seek assessment reductions. The assessments were lowered on several properties because the churches were demolished, ac- cording to county records. For example, the former St. Mark’s Roman Catholic Church in Jenkins Township was added to the tax rolls for 2010 at an as- sessment of $224,400-- $9,000for the land and $215,400 for the church. The property is now as- sessed at $15,000 because the church was torn down. Luzerne County begins taxing some church properties By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES [email protected] where our role as educators played a role; teaching her that learning is fun, to love learn- ing.” Both Sukanya and her parents said they did not expect her to win the contest and that the process of learning, not the prize, was their ultimate goal. “It wasn’t about winning; We want her to appreciate the lan- guage,” Abhi Roy said. “It was more of a learning project, and not for just for her, for us too.” “They wanted me to win, but they didn’t expect me to win or put any pressure on me,” Suka- nya said. “They were just really supportive and helpful.” So what did her parents think the moment she correctly spelled ‘cymotrichous’ and won the top award? “It was surreal,” Abhi Roy said. “At that moment you really don’t think too much.

PRIZE Continued from Page 1A The award is given in recogni- tion of distinguished service to the college and has only been awarded 10 times in the school’s 65year history, accordingtoJohn McAndrew, director of public re- lations. O’Hara, a member of the King’s class of 1971 and the first alumnus to serve as the college’s president, wastoutedforhisfocus on improving the community, his tireless efforts to upgrade the col- lege’s facilities and most of all for his focus onstudents. “Father Tom is such a great leadernotonlyineducationbutin everythinghedoes,”saidLuzerne County Community College President Thomas P. Leary. O’Hara’s quiet effectiveness at getting things done and his hum- blehumilitywill bemissed, Leary said, but he said the greatest loss will be to the students. “The greatest of all Tom’s ac- complishments is that he’s made King’s the most student-centered college inthe country,” saidEber- hard Faber, IV, who served as chairman of the college’s board for most of O’Hara’s tenure as president. In offering a toast in honor of his long time friend and col- league, Faber said the event Sat- urday wasn’t a goodbye because O’Harawill returntotheschool to teach after taking a year’s sabbat- ical todomissionworkinUganda, BangladeshandIndia. He praised O’Hara for his ac- complishments in making the school greener and safer, for ex- panding and renovating the facil- ities and for garnering national recognition for a school with a mission of providing a good edu- cation to students of working class parents.“He believes stu- dents are the most important thingandheinspires others tobe- lieve that, too,” Faber said. In addressing the crowd of more than 400 gathered in the Sheehy Farmer Center, which was also renovated during his presidency, O’Hara offered thanks to his family, friends and the King’s family and reminded them of the importance of rela- tionships. O’Hara, whofor theentireterm of his presidency also served as a resident counselor in a freshman dormat Holy Cross Hall, spoke of watchingeachclassdevelopintel- lectually, spiritually, emotionally and in maturity, and admitted to being teary eyed as he watches eachclass graduate. “I’m teary eyed because I can’t believe what I’ve seen before me and how they’ve changed,” he said. “I am who I am because of myrelationshipswithyou.

Their young eyes are riveted upon me, since they know full well that in the next few moments I will present them with the golden capstone of their formal educations — a com- mencement address that would make a classical Roman orator proud, one that will ring in their memories forever. When they are old and gray they will shake their heads and say, “By God, he put me on the right track for sure.” Well, maybe not. Actually I think I’m the last person in the Western Hemisphere that any self-respecting school district or college would ever invite in to offer wisdom to the young folks. That being the case, here is my annual wish list of “what I would say to the grads if I had the chance.” Ahem! Guys and girls, did you know that your ancestors were dancin’ fools? Yes, it’s true: granddaddy and grand- mama probably met one summer night in the pavilion at Sans Souci or Hanson’s parks. And — pay atten- tion now — they were better candi- dates for “Dancing With the Stars” than you will ever be, because their high schools held a dance in the gym every week, with live music. Why do I bring up this odd cultur- al fact? I do so to show you that things in life change, sometimes for good and sometimes for ill. If you think everyone born before 1990 was nothing more than an evolutionary step on the way to your glorious self, and if you’re also convinced that the world will always be your familiar one of Facebook and music apps and somebody you’ve never heard of going to war for you, then you have the common sense level of that little swinging tassel on your cap. Point Number Two! Resist the temptation to get a tattoo, unless it’s so hidden and underplayed that no one except the undertaker will ever see it. Let’s say you’ve reached the final interview stage in your quest to become a partner in a law firm, the CEO of a pharmaceutical company, a superintendent of schools or a bish- op. Confident and relaxed, you lean forward toward your would-be boss to make a point and a neon purple “Born to raise hell” suddenly flashes into view on your forearm. My, how unfortunate! Can you spell “long- term judgment”? Finally, I present you with one of the great mysteries of our time – the presence of Dallas Cowboys mer- chandise in every clothing depart- ment in Luzerne County. Although I’ve never personally seen anyone placing those be-starred hats and coffee mugs in front of the checkout clerk with a hearty “yeeehaw,” I’m sure it all didn’t just grow there and a manager ordered it because some- one is buying it. Point: There will always be things in this world we do not understand fully. Scripture and science might someday lead us to the answers to what troubles us. In the meantime we should be humble — inquisitive, but humble — and see ourselves as pilgrims in the search for knowl- edge. Oh, we’re just positive that presidential candidate Joe Blow’s bumper sticker blather about (fill in the blank) really will keep America great. Right? Case closed! Well, can you tell me why a man in Honey Pot is this moment shedding tears of joy because he managed to get the last $49.95 shirt with “Romo” on the back? OK, everybody out! It’s party time.

We left at 5 o’clock in the morning and came back about five in the afternoon. It was almost a 12- hour mission.” Favorite quote? “My second gradeteacher toldus, ’You’ll find out that it’s a hard, cruel world.’ That stuck with me.” It seems like many things in your lifehappenedfor areason, right down to howyou came up with your special pizza. “My fa- ther was from Poland, and my mother was from here.

When I bought this place, they had a pretty goodpizza, but I thought I could make the pizza better.” MEET Continued from Page 1B Alan K. Stout writes about local people.

My grandfather encour- aged me to be a doctor, to be something different, and one of my aunts, who was like a second mother to me, agreed with him.” Nahar’s relatives might have en- couragedhimtotakeupmedicine for more than diversity’s sake. The oncologist, energetic but ev- er-humble, demurely admits that as a student at South Point High School inKolkata, whichenabled the brightest students to letter in academics, heearnedtheschool’s special recognition five subjects: history, geography, biology, math, and physics. He decided to honor his family’s wishes and en- roll in medical school, and the hours spent in front of the mirror gavewaytohoursspent inthelab. “True, I did not love medicine at first, but I have learned that if you dig deep enough into any- thing, you will find something about it that interests you.” As if his early successes in acting didn’t prove it, Nahar has always had a gift for communicating. This skill enabledhimtopass eas- ily between the realms of art and science. “When I was young, I used to enjoy playing teacher with my cousins,” he says. “I wouldtype upquestions for them to answer. When they got them right, I gave them prizes, and when they got them wrong, I would explain to them why. Ev- erything can be explained to someone in understandable terms—except mayberocket sci- ence. When I go to a computer store, I look for the person who cananswer myquestions ina way I will understand, and I strive to be the person who can offer good explanations to my patients.” Nahar’s reputation as both a good student and teacher has served him well. In 1982, he earned his medical degree at Medical College Calcutta. In 1991, he traveled to Florida to vis- it the aunt who had encouraged him to pursue medicine, his only relative in the United States. He liked it so much that he decided to stay. He went on to pass his U.S. medical licensing exam and scoredinthe top1percent. Nahar then completed his internship at LenoxHill Hospital inManhattan andspent time inLansing, Mich., and Syracuse, N.Y., before set- tling down in Wilkes-Barre with his wife, Manisha. Since 2002, Nahar has served asanoncologist withMedical On- cology Associates (MOA) in Kingston in conjunction with Wilkes-Barre General Hospital. It seemed the love he developed for reaching his patients had com- pletely supplanted his acting am- bitions until Dr. David Green- wald, a colleague at MOA, hatched a novel way to spread some holiday cheer. “It was December 2009 when Dr. Greenwald came to me with an idea,” he says. “He wanted to make a videotoshowat the office holiday party.” The video, called “Twilight at MOA,” parodied the popular “Twilight” book series and had featured Nahar playing a comical vampire. The short film kept the 50-odd party guests in stitches, encouraging the oncolo- gist to return to his childhood passion. In June 2010, Nahar traveled to Orlando for the Actors, Models, & Talent for Christ (AMTC) Summer Convention, which en- abled himto test his acting chops in 10 different events. His per- formances in such categories as Monologue, Improvisation, Cold- read and Commercial caught the interest of many top talent agen- cies, including Don Buchwald in NewYork City and Kristene Wal- lis in Los Angeles. The attention Nahar received in Orlando led him to dozens of auditions and projects. To pursue them, howev- er, he had to make some weighty decisions. To balance both his passions, Nahar decided to limit his oncol- ogy practice. “I now work only Wednesday, Thursday andFriday for MOA,” he explains, “and I see my patients only at General Hos- pital. Because of the last-minute nature of audition calls, it would be unfair to my patients if I tried to schedule regular office hours.” Now Nahar dedicates Monday and Tuesday to acting, often us- ing these two days to attend dra- ma or singing lessons, either lo- callyor inNewYork. He acknowl- edges that this rekindling comes with concessions. “Since decid- ingtopracticemedicineonlypart time, I make about a fourth of what I used to. And if I am called to audition Wednesday through Friday, I have to decline.” Even still, Nahar has found a great deal of success in a short span of time. Most recently, his performance in the music video “Dr. Raj, Rapper” ledtoanomina- tion for Best Music Video at April’s 168 Film Festival in Los Angeles. The video, originally shown at the festival, can be viewedonNahar’s YouTubechan- nel. Nahar has garnered roles in several films now in production: he will play a mad scientist for a new horror film being produced by the NewYork Arts Academy, a villainous roleintheindependent horror film titled “Catskill Park” anda leadingroleinanupcoming web series in which he will por- tray a locksmith. Nahar has even begunwritingacomedy-dramaof his own about an Indian family that moves to Edison, N.J. For now, Nahar’s projects aremost ac- cessible through his website and his YouTube account, but he hopes his dedication and talents will lead himto international rec- ognition. The route to Nahar’s self-fulfill- ment has been more complicated and eventful than he ever imag- ined. “Everyonehastoput downa dream for practical matters at some point,” he says. Nahar hopes, however, that everyone can find it within them to pick those dreams back up, even if the timing doesn’t seem ideal. Be- cause to Nahar, who as a doctor lives his belief that everyone de- serves a high quality of life, the only thing more fascinating than watching dreams unfold in Hindi or in English is to act themout in real time.

The 49-year-old Easton resident has experienced success owning minor league basketball teams in the CBA and USBL – including one he inaugurated in the Lehigh Valley called the Pennsylvania ValleyDawgs. He served as the commissioner of the National Lacrosse League from 2000 to 2009, and it blossomed from a six-team regional venture into a 20-team national circuit. Now he believes he can turn a sport of wonder into a hit when his team debuts at Mohegan Sun Arena next year in the newly formed North American Lacrosse League. “This was just something you just have to go out and do,” Jennings said. “We’re not going to know if we’re successful until opening night.” But he believes Northeastern Pennsylvania has everything to gain by giving this wild and wacky game a chance. “It’s more exciting than basketball, for sure,” Jennings boasted. “And it’s easier to understand than hockey. Those two things are going to play in our favor. And it’s high-scoring.” Score one for optimism. New game in town The new, yet-to-be-named lacrosse team will need it in cash-strapped Northeastern Pennsylvania, where the highest minor league baseball and hockey franchises find it chal- lenging to lure fans willing to spend an extra buck. And where an indoor football team called the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pioneers played in two af2 league championship games and still wound up losing money before the entire league folded. “We don’t think we’re going to come in here and average 10,000 (fans) right off the bat,” Jennings said. “Up here, what we need to do is average 1,500 to 2,000 a game to make money.” Could this sport really make it in an area that not only hasn’t em- braced lacrosse, but hasn’t even thought about it? “We don’t know much about la- crosse,” Wilkes-Barre Township may- or Carl Kuren admitted. “But years ago, we didn’t know much about hockey. And we all know how that turned out.” The turnout is still respectable for that Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins – the AHL affiliate of the Pittsburgh Penguins - after more than a decade in the area. The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yan- kees – the Triple-A affiliate of the New York Yankees – still attract near-capacity crowds a few times a year despite steadily sagging overall attendance figures. Fans of those sports figure they can at least watch players on their way to the big time. Who has time to watch a sport relatively unknown in its new home? “Once people see this game and the action and the excitement, they’re going to keep coming back,” predicted Chip Santee, a minority owner in Northeastern Pennsylva- nia’s franchise. “I think you’re going to like what you see.” The challenge will be getting peo- ple to notice it. Because when it comes to this area’s fans in the stands, seeing is believing.

VANCOUVER, British Colum- bia —Everybody knewAlex Bur- rows was fast. Just not this fast. With the second-speediest overtime goal in NHLplayoff and finals history, Vancouver’s biting- ly talented forward moved the Canucks halfway to their first Stanley Cup title. Burrows circled the net and scoreda stunninggoal 11seconds into overtime, and Vancouver took a 2-0 lead in the Stanley Cup finals with a 3-2 victory over the Boston Bruins on Saturday night. Right after the opening faceoff of over- time, Burrows received a pass from Daniel Se- din and streaked down the boards, eluding Boston captain Zdeno Chara be- hind the net be- fore extending his stick for a wraparound goal, beating out-of-position goa- lie Tim Thomas for his second score of the game. Game 3 is Monday in Boston. Only four teams have rallied from an 0-2 series deficit to win the Stanley Cup finals in 46 tries, although Sidney Crosby’s Pitts- burgh Penguins did it against De- troit in 2009. Burrows’ goal nearly was the fastest OT goal in finals history, taking just a bit longer thanBrian Skrudland’s goal for Montreal 9 seconds into Game 2 against Cal- gary on May 18, 1986. Sedin tied it with 10:23 left in the third period, and Roberto Lu- ongo made 28 saves for the Ca- nucks. But the night belonged to Burrows, who avoided suspen- sion for this game after being ac- cused of biting Boston’s Patrice Bergeron in Game 1. He also up Sedin’s tying goal with a sharp pass from the slot. Thomas stopped 30 shots for the Bruins, but his trademark ag- gressiveness put himtoofar away fromhis net duringthe brief over- time. Burrows used his speed to elude the 6-foot-9 Chara before slipping the puck into Thomas’ unguarded net. Mark Recchi put the Bruins aheadinthe secondperiodwitha S TA N L E Y C U P F I N A L S Canucks win just seconds into OT Player accused of biting foe scores two goals, including game-winning wraparound.

The sixth-seeded Li used powerful ground- strokes to compile a 31-12 edge in win- ners, and won the last nine points of the match, a run that began when the fifth-seeded Schiavone was flustered by a line call she was sure was wrong. “China tennis — we’re get- ting bigger and bigger,” said Li, who is projected to rise to a ca- reer-best No. 4 in Monday’s new WTA rankings. PARIS — As China’s Li Na tossed the ball while serving at match point in the French Open final, a cry from a fan in the stands pierced the silence at Court Philippe Chatrier. Distracted, Li stopped and let the ball drop. The words of support were in Mandarin: “Jia you!” —whichloosely translates to “Let’s go!” After so many years of “Come on” and “Allez” and “Vamos,” there’s a new language on the tennis landscape.

By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer HANOVER TWP. – Matt Kachurak walked up to the tee on the 15th hole, took out his 5-iron, and lofted a shot 189 yards within one foot of the pin. No big deal. Earlier hehadhit aball towithininches of the same pin. “It always makes it a lot easier,” said Kachurak about his two shots on 15. Kachurak and his dad, Dave, teamed up to defeat the defending champions of the Wyoming Valley Country Club Clas- sic and number-two seeded John Olszew- ski and Eric Williams 3 and 2 in a better- ball quarterfinal to advance to the semi- finals today. The Kachuraks along withthe teams of Rick Berry and Tom Wasilewski, Joe Weiscarger and John Gershey and Scott Barth and Lou Belgio make up the final four teams left inthe championshipflight of the Wyoming Valley Country Club Classic. The team of Williams and Olszewski were 1-up after a birdie on the second hole, but the Kachuraks took advantage of their opponents’ bogey on the seventh hole to even the match up. “We just tried to stay calm,” said Matt Kachurak. “Great opponents we had, they are both great players, we just want- ed to chip away.” On the eighth, the Kachuraks started chipping and took a 1-up lead when Dave Kachurak birdied the hole. From there, they never looked back. They built on their lead, going 2-up on the defending champions when Matt Kachurak birdied the par-5 12th hole. Matt stepped up on the 15th hole and put his shot withina foot of the pinto eas- ily record a birdie and win the hole giving the Kachuraks a 3-up lead with three holes remaining. Olszewski and Williams would have had to win every hole to force a playoff, but both teams shot par on the16th, halv- ing the hole to give the Kachuraks a 3 and 2 victory. A R E A G O L F PETE G.

C M Y K THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com SUNDAY, JUNE 5, 2011 PAGE 3C ➛ S P O R T S WEST PITTSTON – The coach was handing out tips at the 34th annual West Pittston Anthracite 4 Mile Run on Satur- day. Chris Wadas, head track and cross country coach at Miser- icordia University, rantovictory in 20 minutes, 22 seconds. The 29-year-old from Plains Town- ship outran second-place finish- er Frankie Redman, 22, of Hard- ing, a recent grad from Wadas’ running team, by 51 seconds. David McLean, 18, of Pittston Township, who will be running for Wadas next season, finished third, 1:33 behind Redman. “I pulled away from (McLean) about a half mile into the race,” said Wadas, who runs for the Keystone Elite Track Club, based in Harrisburg. “I went over the first mile in 4:57, the second mile in 5:03. I was happy with that time. I was shooting for 5:15 over mile three, but finished that in 5:18. But I closed over mile four in 5 miles flat. I was really happy with that. It was a personal best for me in this race. But running alone, with nobody pushing me, and considering the hills in this race -- I’ll take it!” Wadas’ personal best time ina four mile race is 20:09. Wadas saidthat Redman, who finished second overall, ran a smart race. “He went out in third place,” said Wadas. “He ran his own race.” Redman passed McLean after the first mile to move into sec- ond place. Redman competed in the 800- meter run for the Cougars in the NCAA Div. III Championships recently in Delaware, Ohio, fin- ishing 13th overall, missing out on All-America honors by less than a second. It was payback time for Dee- dra Porfirio as she avenged a loss she suffered to Ali Ostrum in April (Wyoming Valley Chil- dren’s Association’s Do it for the Kids 5K), winning top honors with a seventh-place overall fin- ish in 24:56. Ostrum finished ninthoverall, 25seconds behind Porfirio. “I went out fast right fromthe start like I usually do,” said Por- firio, who ran track and cross country for Pittston Area High School. “(Ali) was right behind me for the first two and a half miles. Then I surged a little and pulled ahead. Then I just kept that strong pace to the finish.” Ostrumran cross country and track for Misericordia Universi- ty a few years ago. Like Wadas, Ostrum runs for the Keystone Elite Track Club. Note: Wadas’s twin brother, Nick, of Kingston, finished fourth among the men in 23:15. Monica Obsitos, 23, of Wilkes- Barre, one of the area’s better lo- cal triathletes, finished third among the females in 26:18. 34 TH ANNUAL WEST PITT- STON ANTHRACITE 4 MILE 4 MILE RUN RESULTS Top 10 Chris Wadas, 29, Plains Twp., 20:22 Frankie Redman, 22, Harding, 21:13 David McLean, 18, Pittston Twp., 22:46 Nick Wadas, 29, Kingston, 23:15 Jamie Connors, 17, Pittston, 24:12 Mike Coco, 48, Exeter, 24:37 Deedra Porfirio, 34, W.

Coach races to win at Anthracite Run By ROBERT MINER For The Times Leader KANSAS CITY, Mo. —Once a year the St. Louis Cardinals come to Kansas City and remind the Royals how dumb they were in 1999. That’s the year Bill Althaus of the Independence, Mo., Examin- er, practically pleaded with the front office to take a look at this muscular kid he’d seen belting tape measure home runs for Ft. Osage High, a short drive from Kauffman Stadium. They did. But they decided the big youngster lacked a true posi- tion and was probably going to have trouble keeping his weight down. So they sat by while St. Louis drafted Albert Pujols and molded himinto a three-time Na- tional League MVP, one of the most feared power hitters of his time. Compounding the Royals’ em- barrassment, the greatness that got away is put on full display year after year when the Cardi- nals play interleague games in KC. With friends and family cramming the park, Pujols has re- ached base in every game he’s ev- er played in the home park of the home town team that snubbed him. Now, 11 years later, can the Royals afford to let it happen again? It’s a different administra- tion, a different general manager. But can they take a chance on let- ting another potential superstar from their own neighborhood slip through their fingers? It’s a decision they’ll face on Monday night if local high school legend Bubba Starling is still available when the Royals pick overall No. 5. Unlike Pujols, whose vast po- tential was suspected only by a few, Starling is practically a household name among sports fans in Kansas City and wherever major league scouts and general managers discuss great 5-tool prospects. A multisport star for suburban Gardner-Edgerton High School just southwest of Kansas City, Starling was the Kansas high school athlete of the year. Ac- cording to his growing legend, the modest, well behaved Bubba hits 500-foot home runs, throws a football 55 yards from his knees and dunks over basketball play- ers who stand half a foot taller. Carrying 200 pounds on a chi- seled 6-foot-5 frame, he’s the best high school athlete in the draft, according to Baseball America. And he certainly is no secret to the Royals. They’ve been court- ing himsince he was 14, bringing him to games, letting him hit in their indoor facility. But, there’s a catch. A big catch. Besides being a standout outfielder, he was a great high school quarterback who rushed for 2,471 yards and 31 touch- downs his senior season. Recruit- ed by just about every major pro- gram in America, he picked Ne- braska. As the baseball draft approach- es, the Huskers are reminding himalmost daily of their promise to also let him play baseball. The Royals aren’t saying what they’ll do if Bubba’s on the board. If they pass on him, fans are sure to be upset. “What I would say is that it’s obviously an important question for our organization and for the Kansas City community,” said general manager Dayton Moore. “But it’s very inappropriate for me to comment at this time about any individual player. It’s not fair to the player, it’s not fair to our organization, and it’s not fair to the other 29 organiza- tions.” Starling’s mom works at the high school and his dad is em- ployed by an excavating compa- ny. Therearealsotwoathletic sis- ters in the modest, close-knit home which didn’t have cable TV until last year. Withsuperagent Scott Boras as his advisor, and wielding serious leverage in the form of a Nebras- ka football scholarship, Starling will probably command a signing bonus in the $6 million-$8 mil- lion range no matter who drafts him. Could the family turn down such money? Could any family? It’s going to be a tough deci- sion. In a twist, Boras, in this in- stance, will in effect be working on behalf of the club who drafts his client because he’ll be doing his best to talk Bubba into a base- ball career. Rest assured the Cornhuskers won’t sit silently by. Athletic di- rector and former coach TomOs- borne recently sent a handwrit- ten note telling Bubba he could be another Eric Crouch, whowon the 2001 Heisman at Nebraska.

LOS ANGELES — Christy Martin returned to the ring six months after she was left for dead following a brutal attack, losing to Dakota Stone after breaking her right hand. Martin was winning on all three scorecards Saturday night at Staples Center when the ring doctor stoppedthe fight at 1:09 of the sixth and final round. Jim Martin, her husband and longtime trainer, is charged with attempted first-degree murder and aggravated battery for the at- tackonMartinonNov. 23at their home in Orlando, Fla. His trail is scheduled for October. Martin had told him that she was leaving him for another woman. “The Coal Miner’s Daughter” continues to battle emotional scars but recovered quickly enough physically to schedule a fight for April. She pulled out be- cause of a rib injury. Hall stops Bell HOLLYWOOD, Fla. —Former light-heavyweight contender Ri- chard Hall knocked out former cruiserweight champion O’Neil Bell in the second round Satur- day night. Hall pressed the action quickly in the cruiserweight bout be- tween native Jamaicans at the Hard Rock Live Arena. He sent Bell to a corner, connecting with lefts to the head early on. In the second, Hall (30-8, 28 KOs) staggered the 36-year-old Bell with a punishing left to the head near the ropes. Bell’s knees buckled, Hall followed with two additional shots to the head and referee Sam Burgos stopped the bout at 1:58 of the round. Bell (24-4-1) won the vacant IBF cruiserweight belt with a unanimous decision over Dale Brownin2005. After onesuccess- ful defense, Bell won a decision over WBA and WBC champion Jean Marc Mormeck in a unifica- tion bout in January 2007. Botha posts victory JOHANNESBURG — Promis- ing South African heavyweight Flo Simba was stopped in the sixth round by veteran Francois Botha on Saturday night for his first defeat in 11 professional fights. The 21-year-old Simba was rocked by two big right hands fromBotha —21years his senior — and the referee stepped in soon after with Simba out on his feet. Botha, who lost to Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis and Evander Holy- field in his career, improved to 48-5withthreedraws andoneno- contest.

The Pittsburgh Penguins signed forward Nick Johnson to a one-year contract, execu- tive vice president and general manager Ray Shero an- nounced Saturday. Johnson, who was sched- uled to become an unrestrict- ed free agent on July 1, opted to re-sign with the Penguins to a two-way deal worth $550,000 at the NHL level that runs through the 2011-12 sea- son. Johnson, 25, appeared in four games for Pittsburgh this past season, posting three points (1G-2A) before suffer- ing a concussion that side- lined him for the remaining 23 games of the regular season and playoffs. Johnson (6-foot-2, 196 pounds) spent the majority of the year with Pittsburgh’s top- minor league affiliate, Wilkes- Barre/Scranton of the Amer- ican Hockey League. He post- ed 20 goals, 39 points, 10 pow- er-play goals and a plus-12 rat- ing in 48 games with WBS. Johnson, Pittsburgh’s third- round pick (67th overall) in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft, has played 10 games with Pitts- burgh in his career, notching two goals and five points. He has played three-plus seasons with WBS after turning pro in 2007-08. He has totaled 50 goals, 94 points and a plus-46 rating in 169 career games with WBS, adding 15 postsea- son points (8G-7A) in 26 con- tests. The Calgary, Alberta native played four seasons at Dart- mouth from 2004-07. He fin- ished his college career with 125 points (57G-68A) in 133 games. Johnson was named First-Team All-ECAC and First- Team All-Ivy League as a se- nior after scoring 35 points (10G-25A) in 32 games. H O C K E Y Penguins sign forward Nick Johnson to 1-year contract The Times Leader staff INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Trainer John Sadler’s over- whelming favorite Twirling Candy used a huge rally from fifth at the top of the stretch to win the $150,000 Californian Stakes on Saturday at Holly- wood Park. Ridden by Joel Rosario and running for the first time with- out blinkers, Twirling Candy was tentative at first and nearly dropped to last, but found his footing in the stretch and took the lead in the final sixteenth to beat Setsuko by 1 1 ⁄4 lengths, cov- ering 1 1-8 miles in 1:50. “He was very relaxed without the blinkers,” Rosario said. “He can do anything. When he sees horses in front of him he just goes and gets them.” The winner paid $2.80, $2.20 and $2.10. Setsuko paid $2.80 and $2.60, while Aggie Engi- neer paid $3.60 to show. The victory ended an 0-for-24 stakes drought for Sadler, who opened 2011 with a hot streak of several stakes wins at Santa An- ita.

Thinking back to that defeat, Li said: “I had no experience. I was very nervous. For my second time in a final, I had the experience. I knewhowtodoit. AndI hadmore self-confidence.” Tennis is considered an elite sport in China, and while partici- pation is rapidly increasing, it still trails basketball, soccer and table tennis, among others. But Li’s vic- tory was big news back home, where the match finished shortly after 11 p.m. local time on a holi- day weekend. State broadcaster CCTVposted the banner, “We love you Li Na,” ontheir gushingcoverage, andan- nouncer Tong Kexin pronounced: “This has left areallydeepimpres- sion on the world.” People at the Green Bank Tennis Club on Beij- ing’s northern edge gathered to eat barbecued food, drink beer and watch the events from Paris on a big-screen TV set up on a court. Some waved Chinese flags duringthe postmatchtrophycere- mony. Li broke away fromthe Chinese government’s sports system in late 2008 under an experimental reform policy for tennis players dubbed “Fly Alone.” Li was given the freedom to choose her own coach and schedule and to keep much more of her earnings: Previ- ously, she turned over 65 percent to the authorities; now it’s 12 per- cent. That comes to about $205,000 of the $1.7 million French Open winner’s check. “We took a lot of risks with this reform. When we let them fly, we didn’t knowif theywouldsucceed. That they have now succeeded, means our reform was correct,” said Sun Jinfang, an official with the Chinese Tennis Association. “This reform will serve as a good example for reforms in other sports.” At her news conference, Li wore anewT-shirt withChinesecharac- ters that mean “sport changes ev- erything,” and offered thanks to Sun. “Without her reform, then pos- sibly we wouldn’t have achieved this success,” Li said. Whena reporter mentionedthe June 1989 crackdown on pro-de- mocracy demonstrators in Tia- nanmen Square and asked wheth- er her victory could spark a sports revolution, Li said she’s “just” a tennis player and added, “I don’t need to answer ... this question.” Her tennis game, filled with flat forehands and backhands, looks better-built for hard courts, rather than the slow, red clay of Paris. In- deed, Li never had won a clay- court tournament until Saturday. She lost inthe thirdroundinthree of herpreviousfourFrenchOpens, includingagainst Schiavoneayear ago. But Li’s movement on clay is better now, Schiavone explained, saying: “She slides a little bit more.” Li repeatedly set up points with her backhand, then closed them with her forehand, and she fin- ished with 21 winners from the baseline, 15 more than Schiavone. Only after Li controlled the first set andtheearlypart of thesecond did Schiavone begin working her way into the match. “I tried to push more, to risk more,” Schiavone said. She broke to 4-all in the second, and held to lead 6-5. The 12th game was pivotal. Serving at deuce, Li smacked a backhand that landed near a side- line but initially was called out by alinejudge, whichwouldhavegiv- en Schiavone a set point. OPEN Continued from Page 1C PARIS — Francesca Schia- vone stood over the ball mark, staring down at the white line and red clay in disbelief as her chances to retain her French Open title slowly slipped away. The chair umpire had just ruled that Li Na’s shot touched the line, erasing what Schiavone thought would be her first set point — and only third break point — of the match. From then on, Schiavone didn’t win another point. “That ball was out,” Schia- vone said after losing the final 6-4, 7-6 (0) Saturday at Roland Garros. “So what do you do? You’re playing tennis, you have to go back to playing tennis and think about what you need to do. “Obviously, I think it was a big mistake. But it’s up to the tournament and others to watch that match again and evaluate the call.” For the gritty Italian, that was the moment when her hopes of staging a comeback blew away like the dust under her feet. She put a backhand into the net on the next point, allowing Li to even the second set score to 6-6. The Chinese player, the first from her country to win a Grand Slam singles title, then won all seven points in the tie- breaker. But minutes earlier, with Schiavone leading 6-5, 40-40 on Li’s serve, her opponent’s back- hand sailed across the court and was called out by the line judge, giving the Italian a crucial break point. Li disagreed, and chair um- pire Louise Engzell came to investigate. She and Schiavone stood over the line pointing at the spot for several seconds, arguing where the ball landed. Engzell had the final decision, and called it in. “If the ball is out, I call it out. If the ball is in, it’s in,” Schia- vone said. “That’s what they (taught) me when I was young, and that’s what I want to teach to the kids in the future. So if I call the ball out, the (probabil- ity) that I make a mistake is really low. So if you explain (to) me that this is the mark and that the ball is out ... I can be- lieve you. But that ball, no.” Because the ball leaves a mark on the clay, the French Open is the only Grand Slam tournament that doesn’t use an electronic challenge system to check contentious calls. That leaves the players to plead their case to the chair umpire and take their chances. “What do I have to say? The truth, or do I have to joke?” Schiavone said. “One call can’t make the difference so much, but in that moment, you have to really check the ball. That’s what I’m contesting.” DOUBLES TROUBLE: Mitch- ell Krueger and Shane Vinsant, fresh off a loss in the boys dou- bles final at the French Open, are already thinking ahead. The American teens lost to Roberto Carballes Baena and Andres Artunedo Martinavarr of Spain 5-7, 7-6 (5), 10-5 Saturday at Roland Garros. “It makes us more hungry for another final to win it next time, especially with Wimbledon coming up and then the U.S. Open after that,” Krueger said. “I definitely want to get back to it because I think we have the potential to win it.” In the girls doubles final, second-seeded Irina Khromache- va and Maryna Zanevska of Russia defeated Victoria Kan of Russia and Demi Schuurs of the Netherlands 6-4, 7-5. FUTURE FEDERER: Marko Osmakcic, a 12-year-old from Zurich, Switzerland, beat Artem Dubrivniy of Russia on Saturday to win the Longines Futures Tennis Aces World Champion- ship, an event that included 16 boys aged 12 or younger — one from each of 16 countries. Afterward, Osmakcic and Dubrivniy got to play an exhibi- tion doubles match with past French Open champions Andre Agassi and Jim Courier.

Will Rhymes began the game with a sharp single to right field against Yankees starter Adam Warren, whocame intothe game with a 3-1 record and hadn’t lost in nearly a month. But Ordonez helped change that, slamming a double to cen- ter to bring Rhymes home with the game’s first run. Ordonez al- so singled and scored during To- ledo’s two-run ninth inning, and scorched a single to left field in the fifth. But Toledo’s offensive attack was really driven by Ryan Strie- by. Before driving in the game’s fi- nal three runs on a three-hit night, the fifth-place hitter in To- ledo’s lineup banged a double to center field in the fourth inning. Strieby eventually scored when Cale Iorgbeat out a bases-loaded dribbler to third base for an in- field single. That gave the Mud Hens a 2-0 lead, but it didn’t take long for the Yankees to get even. They briefly solved Below in thebottomof thefourth, as Jorge Vazquez crackeda hardsingle off the left field wall and Brandon Lairdshot a double downthe left field line. Kevin Russo drew a two-out walk to fill the bases with Yankees, then Dan Brewer laced a two-run single to center field. But that was all Below surren- dered. He escapedfurther damage by fanning Luis Nunez, then al- lowed only Ramiro Pena’s fifth- inning double over his final two innings. Two Toledo relievers then fin- ished the job, retiring all nine Scranton/Wilkes-Barre batters over the final three frames. Just as quickly as Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre tied the score, the Mud Hens grabbed the lead back. Timo Perez and Ordonez both singled to open the fifth inning, andPerez eventuallycame home on Strieby’s RBI groundout. But Strieby, a hard-hitting first baseman, wasn’t quite done. Rhymes and Perez both reac- hed on infield hits in the seventh inning, moved up a base on a wild pitch and scurried home when Strieby slammed a single to center field -- giving him the team lead with 31 RBIs on the season. Strieby also singled and scored in the last inning, when a two-out, two-run single by Clete Thomas ended Toledo’s scoring andsent theYankees totheir sec- ond straight loss to open a four- game series at PNC Field. The Yankees will try to snap that mini-skid by sending Carlos Silva to the mound for today’s 1:05 p.m. start. Silva, a former major league starter with the Philadelphia Phillies and Chica- go Cubs, is 2-0 with a 3.44 ERA since joining Scranton/Wilkes- Barre two weeks ago.

But until Sedin’s late goal, Boston played a second straight game of impressive shutdown defense against Vancouver’s vaunted top line featuring the NHL’s last two scoring cham- pions —Daniel andtwinbrother Henrik Sedin. Turns out the Bruins should have been paying attention to Burrows, their less-heralded li- nemate who has 17 points in the postseason. Burrows scored his first goal while skating on Vancouver’s second-team, power-play unit with just 12 seconds left in the man advantage, taking a short pass from Chris Higgins and flicking a shot under Thomas’ arm. The Bruins had scored just one goal in their previous seven periods of playoff hockey before Lucic finally ended the drought in the second period. The Van- couver native bulledintothe slot and batted the rebound of John- ny Boychuk’s shot under Luon- go’s extended pad. The goal ended Luongo’s play- off shutout streak at 137 min- utes, 26 seconds. Recchi put the Bruins ahead 2:35 later, scoring just their sec- ond road power-play goal of the entire postseason. The veteran forward from nearby Kamloops, British Columbia, artfully de- flected a heavy shot by Chara, who moved back to the point on Boston’s power play after play- ing in front of Luongo in Game1. The Bruins had just one goal on the power play in six games before Recchi scored. Recchi, who plans to retire if the Bruins win the Cup, hadn’t scored any goals in their previous 11 playoff games since April 30. The Sedins’ line finally con- nected midway through the third period after Daniel took the puck away from Chara in Boston’s end. Burrows eventual- ly foundDaniel Sedinonthe oth- er side of Thomas’ net, and the NHL scoring champion fired home his ninth goal of the post- season. Malhotra seemed unlikely to make an impact on Vancouver’s playoff run when a deflected puck hit him in the face nearly three months ago. He needed two operations around his left eye, yet the cerebral faceoff spe- cialist anddefensiveforwardsur- prised the Canucks with his rap- idrecovery, returningtopractice three weeks ago. After a false start before Game 1, Malhotra was ready Saturday. When he stepped on the ice wearing a full face shield for pre- game warmups, Vancouver’s fans rose and roared, waving white towels — and when his face appeared on the scoreboard between warmups and the open- ing faceoff, the crowd chanted his name. When Malhotra stepped onto the ice 1:48 into the first period for a faceoff at center ice, he got an arena-shaking ovation — and he won the draw cleanly. Malhotra played nearly 7 1 ⁄2 minutes and won 86 percent of his faceoffs. In Wednesday’s opener, Van- couver won on Raffi Torres’ dra- matic goal after 59 1 ⁄2 scoreless minutes. Both teams failed to score on six power plays, but generated numerous chances that were denied by two of the NHL’s best goalies. Vancouver is chasing the first NHL title in its four-decade fran- chise history after two previous failed trips to the finals. The Bruins haven’t won the Stanley Cup since 1972, losing their last five finals appearances. NOTES: The Canucks haven’t lost at home since May 7. ... Van- couver C Alexandre Bolduc was scratched in Malhotra’s favor. ... Hamhuis is third in ice time among the Canucks during the playoffs, averaging 24:50. He’s second with 38 blocked shots. ... Alberts hadn’t played since May 3, sitting out nine games as a healthy scratch. ... Thomas broke Andy Moog’s franchise re- cord for minutes played in a sin- gle postseason. Moog played 1,196 minutes during Boston’s run to the 1990 finals.

Andrew McCutchen and Lyle Overbay each had three hits and Brandon Wood home- red for Pittsburgh (28-29), which has won four of five and could complete a sweep of first-place Philadelphia on Sunday to reach .500. Morton was 2-12 with a 7.57 ERA last season as the Pirates lost 105 games. But he has won four of his past five decisions to improve to 6-2. His ERA stands at 2.52 — fourth in the NL — after allowing a total of six earned runs over his past five starts.

LOUIS — Albert Pujols hit his second homer of the game with two outs in the 12th inning to give the St. Louis Cardinals a 5-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Saturday. Pujols had his ninth game- ending homer of his career and first since Aug. 16, 2009, against the Padres on a 2-1 pitch from Jeff Samardzija (3-2) as the Cardinals prevailed in 95-degree heat. He has 41 career multihomer games, two of them this season, and has homered three times the last two games to emerge from a power funk. Rockies 2, Giants 1 SAN FRANCISCO — Troy Tulowitzki had three hits and drove in a run, Jhoulys Chacin pitched six effective innings and the Colorado Rockies beat the San Francisco Giants 2-1 on Saturday.

Conor Jackson had a tying, pinch-hit two-run single in the ninth and a key double in the 11th as Oakland grabbed the lead, but AndrewBailey couldn’t hold it. The Athletics lost their fifth straight. Alfredo Aceves (3-1) pitched four innings for the win. Crawford doubled into the left-field corner against Guiller- mo Moscoso (2-1).

The good news for Stricker is that he had a six-shot lead at one point, andhis 3-under 69 at Muir- field Village still kept him three shots clear of Jonathan Byrd go- ing into the final round. Stricker holed out for eagle from 113 yards on the second hole, made another eagle with a 3-iron into 6 feet on the par-5 fifth and looked as though he might run away from the field when he rolled in a 25-foot birdie putt on the par-3 eighth. But he missed three putts in- side 7 feet — one of them for par — over the final five holes, and his tee shot on the 18th landed in the middle of a sand-filled divot, sending his approach beyond the green in thick rough. Stricker chipped out to 3 feet to escape with par and leave himself some decent vibes going into today. He was at 12-under 204 as he goes for his 10th career victory. Byrd made birdie on the 18th hole for a 69 that will put him in the final group today with a chance towinfor the secondtime this year. Thanks to the late fade by Stricker, several others have a chance that at one time didn’t look possible. Matt Kuchar, who made six birdies in his opening nine holes, hada 68despite twobogeys inhis last four holes. He was four shots behind, along with Brandt Jobe, who shot a 69. Rory McIlroy couldn’t get the clean round he wanted. The 22- year-old from Northern Ireland, making a rare PGA Tour appear- ance, choppedupthe par-3fourth hole for a double bogey, hit into the water on the par-5 11th for a bogey and was falling back until he rallied with an eagle putt on the 15th. He wound up with a 71 and was five shots behind, along with Mark Wilson (66) and for- mer PGA champion Shaun Mi- cheel (67). Luke Donald, in his debut as the No. 1player in the world, was trying to make a charge on the back nine until he made two care- less bogeys and had to settled for a 73. Donald was at 4-under 212, eight shots out of the lead. About the only thing Donald can likely achieve today is to go for his 10th straight finish in the top 10. Do- nald was tied for 17th. Phil Mickelson shot a 72 and was 10 shots behind, which he at- tributed mainly to his putting. An amazing start gave Stricker strokes to burn toward the end of his round. After an 8-footer to save par from a bunker on the opening hole, Stricker had 113 yards on No. 2. He reached into his pocket for a tee to clean out a chunk of dirt in his 53-degree wedge, set up over the ball and hit a perfect shot that spun into the cup for an eagle. Three holes later, he hit 3- iron over the water with just enough draw to catch the ridge and settled 6 feet away for anoth- er eagle. Going back to the second round, it was his third eagle in seven holes. And he became only the 13th player on the PGA Tour since 1983 to make an eagle on a par 3, par 4 and par 5 in the same tournament. P R O G O L F Stricker still up by 3 strokes at Memorial Jonathan Byrd cut Stricker’s 6-shot lead in half over the final five holes.

DALLAS —After two days of intense filmstudy and painstak- ing analysis of the final 14 pos- sessions in their end-of-game collapse in Game 2 of the NBA finals, the Miami Heat finally came up with the reason why. It wasn’t a highly technical reason. “We let one go,” Dwyane Wade said. And entering Game 3 of the NBA finals, the Heat will try to let Game 2 go again. The way Miami sees it, carrying over the stigma of that loss —one of the worst late-game collapses in fi- nalshistory—wouldonlydoom them again tonight when the scene shifts to steamy Dallas for the first of three games on the Mavericks’ home floor. Dallas rallied from 15 points down in the final 7 minutes to beat Miami in Game 2, outscor- ing the Heat 22-5 to finish the game and knot the series. Thanks to that win, Mavs’ fans still mayseeanother NBAcham- pionship celebration, only this time, by the Western Confer- ence champions and not a Heat team that hoisted a trophy at Dallas after the 2006 finals. “In the playoffs, it’s a win or a loss. However it comes by, it’s a win or a loss,” Heat forward Le- Bron James said. “We’ve moved on from Game 2, seen the mis- takes we’ve made. Seen some of the great things we’ve done as well. It’s a winor loss. The series is tied1-1. We never get too high or too low in the series. We haven’t gottentoohighor lowin the regular season as well.” Game 3 is crucial for so many obvious reasons, like the Heat wanting not to deal with anoth- er stumble and the Mavericks wanting to keep momentum rolling and retain home-court advantage. Statistically, there’s proof that it’s a Texas-sized swing game as well. Since the NBAwent tothe2-3-2format for the finals, teams have now split the first two games 12 times. In the previous 11, the winner of Game 3 has always gone on to win the championship. Bigwhoop, bothteams saidin response to that one. “Wejust can’t let up. We’renot good enough to just relax,” said Mavericks forwardDirkNowitz- ki, who led Dallas’ late-game charge in Game 2 at Miami. “We need to play with an edge at all times ineverygame. Sohopeful- ly, with the crowd behind us, we’re going to have a great game. Just looking at this one game.” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra was more succinct. “I think both teams have bucked a lot of those numbers and odds up to this point al- ready,” he said. “We’re a non-tra- ditional team.” Maybe that’s one of the rea- sons why the Heat were soloose Saturday. Players arrived at the arena around noon, most with head- phones onas they walkedoff the bus, bobbing heads in time with the music and nodding to peo- pleas theywalkedby. James and Wade were chatting and laugh- ing, a few players checked out the turf that would host an Are- na Football League game later Saturday night and some stretched their arms to tap the goalposts as they walked across the floor where a basketball court will be today.

TIMREYNOLDS AP Sports Writer MIAMI AT DALLAS WHEN: 8 p.m., today TV: ABC/WNEP-16 G A M E 3 STATE COLLEGE — Former Villanova assistant Patrick Cham- bersspent afranticweekmullinga major move that could have land- ed him a job back at a power con- ference school back in his home state of Pennsylvania. Of course, Chambers called his former boss withtheWildcats, Jay Wright, for ad- vice after Penn State came call- ingtoleave Bos- ton University to take over the Nittany Lions program. Wright gave his protege a thumbs-up. “I spoke to Jay all week ... I sought his wisdomand his knowl- edge, discussedthejob, what it en- tailed and needed to be done,” Chambers said Friday night after taking the Penn State job. “He is an incredible mentor.” Now the Nittany Lions have a head coach with roots that run deepintosoutheasternPennsylva- nia in Chambers, a Philadelphia- area native who played college ball under PhiladelphiaUniversity coach and 2011 Naismith Basket- ball Hall of Fame inductee Herb Magee. It’s at Villanova where Cham- bers raised his coaching profile, rising quickly to become Wright’s top assistant in 2008 following four years on the staff. Chambers left for the Terriers the following season, lasting two years there be- fore taking the Penn State offer Friday. Chambers replaces Ed DeChel- lis, whoresignedMay24toaccept the same job at Navy. Anunexpectedcoachingsearch soon followed, with Chambers’ name almost immediately surfac- ingasapotential candidatefollow- ing the successful run at Boston. The Terriers lost to Kansas in the second round of the NCAA tour- nament this spring. “I tell youwhat, it’s beena crazy week, traveling and meeting,” Chambers said. “Alot of sleepless nights, just tryingtokeepmytime programtogether.” Wright was a sounding board. PennStateandtheBigTenarea step up from Boston and the America East Conference. But the Nittany Lions have also had mid- dling success, struggling to win consistently and attract top recruits. The program is going through yet another makeover, even after DeChellis ledhis almamater toits first NCAA appearance in a dec- ade with a second-round loss to Temple.

ARMAS AP Sports Writer Chambers EUGENE, Ore. — Defending champion Allyson Felix finished third in the Prefontaine Classic 400 meters Saturday and world champion Caster Semenya placed second in the 800 in her American debut. Amantle Montsho of Botswa- na won the 400 in 50.59 seconds, while Felix crossed in 51.41 to trail fellow American Debbie Dunn by 0.04. Felix is a three- time world champion and a two- time Olympic silver medalist in the 200. Semenya timed 1 minute, 58.88 seconds to finish 0.59 be- hind Kenia Sinclair of Jamaica. The South African won the event at the 2009 world cham- pionships but was unable to complete for much of last year because of controversial gender testing. The Pre, as it is known, is the fourth stop on the international Diamond League circuit. Jamaican Steve Mullings won the100 in a meet record 9.80, the thirdbest time onAmericansoil. Justin Gatlin, who last year came off a four-year suspension for doping, finished sixth in 9.97, his first result under 10 sec- onds since his return. Gatlin denies he knowingly used performance-enhancing substances, claiming a massage therapist, Eugene resident Chris Whetstine, used a testosterone- like cream on his legs in the spring of 2006. Whetstine has denied Gatlin’s allegations. Gatlin, who won the 100 me- ters at the Pre in both 2005 and 2006, was reinstated last year and has recently been compet- ing in minor meets in Europe. He is still excluded from major European events, and Rajne So- derberg, the director of the Stockholm Diamond League event, said in an e-mail Friday that the ban still holds. P R E F O N TA I N E C L A S S I C Defending champion Felix finishes 3rd at 400 meters By ANNE M. PETERSON AP Sports Writer COLUMBUS, Ohio — Two- time Heisman Trophy winner Ar- chie Griffin wants to reassure Ohio State fans that things will get better. “Yep. It has been tough. But Ohio State is more thanfootball,” Griffin said this week after Jim Tressel was forced to resign as headcoachinthe midst of a wide- spreadNCAAinquiry. “It’s a great university, a lot of great things happening at the university. We will bounce back, no question about it.” Griffin, 56, is president and CEOof Ohio State’s alumni asso- ciation. Now 36 years removed frombecoming the only player to win college football’s most covet- ed individual award for a second time, he said there is nowa drive to rebuild. “Ohio State has a wonderful tradition, a great program,” he said. “It’s been proven out over the years. And we’ll continue to have that type of program. We’ll continue to try and put the best players on the field as well as the coaches. So that’s certainly going tobe what the powers that be will look to do.” Tressel was forcedtostepaside Monday after admitting he knew some of his players had taken im- proper benefits that would have made them ineligible under NCAA bylaws. He found out in April 2010 about possible viola- tions by his players but did not tell anyone at OhioState for more than nine months, contrary to his contract and NCAA rules. Five players — including star quarterback Terrelle Pryor — have been suspended for the first fivegames this fall for takingcash and discounted tattoos froma lo- cal tattoo-parlor owner for signed jerseys andgloves, Big Tencham- pionship rings and other memor- abilia. The NCAAandOhioState con- tinue to investigate all areas of the athletic department, includ- ingallegations regardingathletes and their cars and football play- ers receiving improper benefits at the tattoo-parlor. The athletic department and football team could receive fur- ther penalties when Ohio State goes beforetheNCAAcommittee on infractions in Indianapolis on Aug. 12. Another Heisman winner — this one from archrival Michigan — said it’s premature to guess at the Buckeyes’ future. “What’s going to happen to the program? Well, we don’t know if No. 2 (Pryor) is going to line up,” former Michigan star and 1991 Heisman winner Desmond Ho- ward told the Detroit Free Press. “It seems like there’s a lot more that’s happening down there, so I don’t want to right in the middle of things say this is what’s going to happen and then next week we have a new revelation.” C O L L E G E F O O T B A L L Griffin says OSU will bounce back Two-time Heisman Trophy winner believes alma mater will return to prominence.

Anonymous Tip Line 1-888-796-5519 Luzerne County Sheriff’s Office “A lot better than we expect- ed,” Kyle Busch said. “The guys did a good job with it and gave me a good piece to run a good lap. That’s all we can ask for. We’ve been having sort of a struggle this weekend so far and trying to make something out of nothing here.” Jamie McMurray, who grew up in nearby Joplin, Mo., and visited the tornado-ravaged town Thursday, will start sixth. Sprint Cup points leader Carl Edwards, also a Missouri native, will start seventh — the highest of any of the Fords in the field. “I’m not going to tell you ex- actly what I did wrong, but I know it was something,” Ed- wards said. “I think we are going to have a really good shot at this race and that would mean a lot to me.” Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s momen- KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Kurt Busch had never run all that well in Kansas, and a spinout during practice Friday certainly didn’t make it look as if he was about to turn that around. Less than 24 hours and a few tweaks later, Busch captured the pole for NASCAR’s Sprint Cup race at Kansas Speedway and re- versed a decade of tough luck at the 1.5-mile track. Busch, who had never started higher than seventh in 10 career starts in Kansas and has never finished in the top five, topped the leaderboard at 174.752 mph in his No. 22 Dodge on Saturday. Busch snapped out of an ex- tended funk with a fourth-place finish last week in Charlotte. He had to have front end damage repaired following Friday’s spin, and that and other changes helped produce his first pole since Michigan last June and the 13th of his career. “I have to thank my guys for standing behind me, not just through (Friday) but through some of the tough times we’ve been through as of late,” Busch said. “It’s an amazing world, the world of motorsports. One day you’re down, the next day you’re up.” Juan Pablo Montoya will start second in today’s race, followed by Kyle Busch and Brian Vickers. Joey Logano qualified fifth, giving Toyota three cars in the top five. tum after a gut-wrenching but promising second-place finish at Charlotte stalled with a qualify- ing run of 28th. Jimmie John- son, who beat Edwards to win here in 2008, will start 31st — by far his worst position in Kan- sas. Today’s race will mark the midway point of the Sprint Cup’s regular season, and three drivers looking to move up in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship standings are hoping to become Kansas’ first three-time winner. Tony Stewart (13th), Greg Bif- fle (14th) and Jeff Gordon (22nd) all have a pair of wins here — but none of them will start in the top 10. Gordon, who took Kansas’s first two races in 2001-02, has seven top-five finishes at the track and four in a row. Biffle took first in 2007, won again last fall in a Chase event and has the best driver rating of any driver at Kansas, ahead of Johnson. Stewart won Kansas in 2006 and 2009. Of course, the way this season has gone almost anyone has a realistic shot at a win. Just five of the 12 winners in the Cup se- ries so far this season have start- ed from 20th or better. This is the first summer Sprint Cup race on the schedule for Kansas, which added an event for 2011. Drivers expect the track to be hot and slick for today’s race, which will start at noon local time. The track will host its tradi- tional fall race on October 9. N A S C A R Kurt Busch wins Kansas pole Driver overcomes Friday spinout to grab No. 1 spot in qualifying Saturday.

NEW YORK— While fans fret about the NFLlockout af- fectingeverythingfromtrain- ing camps to regular-season games, marketing partners for the league and the players association aren’t panicking. Or fleeing. They are making contin- gency plans, of course, be- cause the time when spon- sors and advertisers must make decisions on how loyal they can be to pro football is rapidly approaching. “We’re not at an Armaged- don date. We not staring that in the face this week,” Eric Grubman, NFL executive vice president of business op- erations for the NFL, told The Associated Press during the owners’ meetings last week. “The demandis good, I think strong. The platformof being with the NFL remains very valuable and healthy. “We have had losses (of po- tential new sponsors) that won’t return immediately. With some of those, people have saidthey are not signing with us because of the labor situation. Those dollars have moved on forever, but those partners have not, I think. I think when we get back to (playing) games, I like our chances to get them back. “We’re scratching and clawing to show them this, the value is still going to be there.” On the other side, NFL Players, the marketing arm for the players association, says it has not lost any mar- keting partners. Keith Gor- don, the organization’s presi- dent, believes the worth of its players to advertisers and sponsors could actually grow should the lockout continue into the fall. “While sponsors are hop- ing that football resumes in the fall, they’re also position- ing themselves to maximize player involvement without games being played,” he said. “The lockout provides grea- ter access to players at a time when they would normally be inaccessible. “While unfortunate, it cre- ates an opportunity for play- ers that would otherwise not be present.” But those players already are indanger of losing money — aside from what they cur- rently are spending for med- ical coverage and what they potentially will lose in salary and bonuses if training camps, the preseason and re- al games are lost. “Ingeneral, the most costly part of the lockout has been the contraction of the com- mercial opportunities for players with NFL sponsors,” Gordon said. “In particular, those (sponsors) who have either decided not to renew or those who have shifted dollars elsewhere. “Sponsors usually spend the summer months working with players and integrating them into creative (cam- paigns) for their season-long marketing campaigns.” One sponsor, Procter and Gamble, has said it’s making alternate plans. Others surely are, as well. “Of course, we hope that an agreement is re- ached soon and the season commences as scheduled,” P&G spokeswoman Anne Westbrook said. So are the league’s broad- cast partners, who might have the most to lose without a new collective bargaining agreement soon. The last thing ESPN, NBC, Fox or CBS wants is the loss of the cash cow that comes with regular-season telecasts. Forget the advance pay- ments the networks already paid the NFL that are being held up by Judge David Doty in Minneapolis. Eventually, games will be played and the networks will get the pro- gramming they paid for. What they might not get, given a protracted labor im- passe, are the boffo ratings the NFL drew last year. They might not get their money’s worth if fans are turned off to the NFL.

By BARRY WILNER AP Pro Football Writer C M Y K PAGE 12C SUNDAY, JUNE 5, 2011 THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com OUTDOORS ➛ WWW. T I ME S L E ADE R. C OM/ S P ORT S I thought something was amiss this spring when I didn’t hear a single gobbler in the weeks leading up to the spring season. Every year as April rolled into May, gobbling was as common a sound as the calls of songbirds as they welcomed the spring. But not this year. Even when the spring gobbler season began, the turkeys were quiet. And it wasn’t just me who wasn’t hearing turkeys gobble. Tony Hudak is a die-hard turkey hunter and he spends tons of hours in the woods from February up to the spring season locating gobblers. He locates them by listening for them, and this year he didn’t hear much. Hudak said he typically locates around 100 gobblers throughout the region each year before the start of the season. This year he only heard 30. It made for a difficult spring hunting season. “This spring was one of the tough- est, if not the toughest that I have ever experienced,” Hudak said. “The lack of gobbling on most days made for some long mornings, and there was little a guy could do to provoke a bird.” Pennsylvania wasn’t the only state that had silent gobblers. Rain may have caused real troubles Hudak, who hunts turkeys all over the country, said the gobblers were also silent in Alabama, North Carolina and Delaware. A guide he knows in Ver- mont actually cancelled spring gobbler hunts because the birds simply weren’t talking. Did the hard winter or the late start to spring have anything to do with the gobblers remaining silent? Or is it just part of turkey hunting? Some hunters have said they hear less gobbling each year. I’ve noticed that after the first week or two the gobbling decreases substantially. While less gobbling made things tough on hunters this season, there was another aspect to the spring that was tough on turkeys in general. Rain. We got a ton of it, consistently. Rain is one of the worst things for turkey poults after they hatch. Dr. Walt Cottrell, the wildlife veter- inarian for the Pennsylvania Game Commission, said wet weather and cool temperatures are a fatal combina- tion for many species of young wildlife, especially turkey poults. “If it’s cool, then the insects aren’t there, they can’t eat enough and go into a negative energy balance,” Cot- trell said. “And if it’s wet, they simply get hypothermia and die.” Turkey hens start to nest during mid to late April and it takes about 28 days for the eggs to hatch. One reason why turkey poults are so susceptible to rain is they don’t have the protection of fully developed feathers that can shed water. And water is one thing we’ve had plenty of this spring. According to the National Weather Service, we’ve had more than 16 inches of rain since March 1 – almost seven inches more than normal. Almost half of that 16 inches of rain fell in May, most of the time day after day. Everything in the woods was drenched, including any turkey poults that hatched a bit early. Still, the recent warmup certainly helped, but the verdict is still out if it came in time to avoid any type of sig- nificant impact to turkey poults. “I don’t know. It’s tough to measure because after a turkey poult dies it disintegrates fast,” Cottrell said. Just like finding a reason why gob- blers seem to gobble less some years, gauging turkey poult mortality is a difficult puzzle to solve.

The Central Susquehanna Woodland Owners Association will sponsor a program on woodland management on June 12 at 1:30 p.m. at the Park Family Farm and Forest in the Benton area. The Parks have a diverse wood lot with many of the issues facing central Penn- sylvania woodland owners. They have built a 10-acre deer exclosure fence and smaller fences with oak seedlings, allow- ing participants to see first-hand how much deer really impact the forest. Attendees will also see how old pine plantations have been managed and the results of new hardwood plantings in some of the fields. The site also has mature forests with looming questions: what can be done with the hemlock trees being attacked by woolly adelgid and with the ash trees given the impending impact of the emer- ald ash borer? The public is invited to come and learn about what the Parks have done, so that participants can better manage their own wood lots. This free program will be held at the Park Family Farm and Forest, 2098 County Line Road, Benton, Columbia County.

The Pennsylvania Game Commission board will hold its upcoming meeting on June 27-28, in the auditorium of the agency’s Harrisburg headquarters at 2001 Elmerton Ave., just off the Progress Avenue exit of Interstate 81 in Harrisburg. On Monday, June 27, the Board will gath- er public comments and hear Game Commission staff reports beginning at 8:30 a.m. Doors will open at 7:45 a.m. Registration for those interested in of- fering public testimony – limited to five minutes – also will begin at that time. On Tuesday, June 28, beginning at 8:30 a.m., the Game Commission will take up its prepared agenda, which will be posted on the agency’s website prior to the meeting. Doors will open at 7:45 a.m. For those unable to attend this meeting, the Game Commission will webcast the meeting beginning with the Game Com- mission staff reports on Monday, immedi- ately following the conclusion of public comments. The full Board meeting on Tuesday will be webcast beginning at 8:30 a.m. An icon will be posted on the agency’s website (www.pgc.state.pa.us) on Monday and Tuesday to access the webcasts.

There is a 70-cent transaction fee at- tached to the purchase of each license and permit, which is paid directly to Active Outdoors, the Nashville-based company that runs PALS. Returning PALS customers are encouraged to provide their Customer Identification Number (CID) to speed up processing. O U T D O O R S N O T E S As the wildlife veter- inarian for the Pennsylva- nia Game Commission, Dr. Walt Cottrell has seen his share of ticks. He’s seen them on bear, deer and virtually every mammal that roams Penn- sylvania’s woods. So does that mean the deer and bear living in tick-infested woods are also suffering from the same lyme dis- ease that impacts pets and people? Not really, Cottrell said. “I’ve seen bears just cov- ered with ticks in the spring. Their skin will be red and encrusted, but they don’t get sick with the disease,” he said. “It ap- pears only domestic ani- mals and people suffer, and we don’t exactly know why a deer or bear doesn’t get infected.” Even the deer mouse – which Cottrell said is the primary carrier of the bac- teria that causes lyme dis- ease, may only have a tem- porary fever and immune response when it’s infected. Still, wildlife play a key role in the spread of lyme disease to people and pets. According to Cottrell, ticks aren’t born with the lyme disease infection. When a larval tick hatches, if it feeds on a deer mouse carrying the bacteria then that tick is infected for life. When the infected larvae emerges the next year as a nymph, it can transmit the bacteria when it feeds on other hosts, such as deer. “The more hosts, such as deer, that there are, then the more blood meal there is for ticks. That can lead to an increase in tick repro- duction,” Cottrell said. Other carriers of the lyme bacteria include chip- munks and rabbits to a lesser degree, Cottrell said. While infected ticks do feed on deer, bear and other game species, hun- ters shouldn’t worry about eating that meat because cooking it will kill the bacteria. Lyme disease isn’t the only health risk that ticks pose to people. Cottrell said ticks can also transmit anaplasmosis and ehrlichio- sis (both of which can cause fever, headache, fa- tigue, and muscle aches). “These are bad actors yet very treatable,” Cottrell said. “Since sportsmen are at risk of being bitten by an infected tick, it’s impor- tant that they mention there was an exposure when they see their doc- tor.” Disease doesn’t sicken wildlife By TOMVENESKY [email protected] There are two times during the year that Dr. Doug Ayers of the Plains Animal Hospital said ticks are the worst. In the fall and right now. “We see ticks every other day,” Ayers said. “When the ground temperature reaches 50 degrees and the sun hits it, they start moving around. “Ticks are getting worse and they’re really spreading.” Years ago, Ayers said, ticks and the threat of lyme disease was limited to rural mountainous areas. But now, the range has spread and ticks can nowbe found in urban areas. Ayers sees it all the time at his practice. Adog whose owner lived in Plains was recently brought to Ayers and subse- quent tests showed it had Rocky Moun- tain spotted fever and lyme disease – both are carried by ticks. “This dog was exposed to a tick with both diseases, and it was in Plains. It’s certainly spread fromthe mountains to the cities,” Ayers said, adding the in- crease in ticks and lyme disease has been gradually increasing over the last 12 years. “I’ve been practicing for 21years and it wasn’t like this then,” he said. While all pets are susceptible to ticks, Ayers said hunting dogs are more vul- T I C K S A N D T H E T H R E AT O F LY M E D I S E A S E All pets susceptible FRED ADAMS/FOR THE TIMES LEADER Dr Doug Ayers examines a dog for ticks by checking the eyes at the Plains Animal Hospital recently. Inspect after each trip afield By TOMVENESKY [email protected] USE FINE-TIPPED TWEEZERS and protect your fingers with a tissue, paper towel, or latex gloves. Avoid removing ticks with your bare hands. GRASP THE TICK as close to the skin sur- face as possible and pull upward with steady, even pressure. Don’t twist or jerk the tick; this can cause the mouth-parts to break off and remain in the skin. If this happens, re- move the mouth-parts with tweezers. If you are unable to remove the mouth easily with clean tweezers, leave it alone and let the skin heal. AFTER REMOVING the tick, thoroughly disinfect the bite and your hands with rub- bing alcohol, an iodine scrub, or soap and water. AVOID FOLKLORE REMEDIES such as "painting" the tick with nail polish or pet- roleum jelly, or using heat to make the tick detach from the skin. Your goal is to remove the tick as quickly as possible -- not waiting for it to detach. R E M O V I N G A T I C K See PETS, Page 13C Timing is everything when it comes to a tick bite. And your chances of get- ting one are greatest right now. According to Dr. Steven Ostroff, acting physician general for the Pennsylvania Department of Health, May and June are the peak season when it comes to tick activity. Now is when ticks in the nymph stage have emerged from hibernation and are prowling the woods actively looking for a blood meal. That voracious feeding behavior decreases over the summer, Ostroff said, and now is the time to be vigilant for ticks after spending time in the outdoors. And if you do find one stuck to your skin, you basi- cally have 24 hours to get it off before it can infect you with lyme disease. Once a tick attaches to the skin, it begins feeding until it is engorged. Then, Ostroff said, it begins regurgitating into the host, and that’s when the lyme bacteria can enter a person. “If you see a tick on you, get rid of it very quickly and the likelihood of transmitting lyme disease is very low,” Ostroff said. “If the tick is engorged, it means it’s been on you for some time.” Several species of ticks exist in Pennsylvania, but the major culprit for lyme disease is Ixodes scapularis, or the deer tick. States such as Con- necticut, New Jersey, Rhode Island and New York have higher rates of lyme disease than Pennsylvania, Ostroff People can be infected after 24 hours By TOMVENESKY [email protected] Lyme disease prevention tips from the state Department of Health: ANYONE BITTEN by a tick should watch the area where the tick was attached for the next month or so. If a rash develops at the site from which the tick was removed, or if a rash develops elsewhere on the body at any time, consult a physician. Lyme disease is nearly always cured by a 10-day to two-week course of oral antibiotics when appropriately treated at this stage (when the rash appears). THE RISK of being bitten by an infected tick can be decreased by using the following precautions: (1) Use insect repellent contain- ing low concentrations (10 to 30 percent) of diethyltoluamide (DEET) on clothing and exposed skin (not face): (a) Apply DEET sparingly on exposed skin; do not use under clothing. (b) Do not use DEET on the hands of young children; avoid applying to areas around the eyes and mouth. (c) Do not use DEET over cuts, wounds or irritated skin. Wash treated skin with soap and water after returning in- doors; wash treated clothing. (d) Avoid spraying in enclosed areas; do not use DEET near food. (2) Avoid tick-infested areas; (3) Wear light-colored clothing so ticks can be spotted more easily; (4) Tuck pant legs into socks or boots, and shirts into pants; (5) Tape the areas where pants and socks meet; (6) Wear a hat, long-sleeved shirt, and long pants for added protection; (7) Walk in the center of trails to avoid overhanging brush; (8) Check yourself, family mem- bers and pets for ticks after leaving potentially tick- infested areas and promptly remove any ticks detected.

Three regions of the country are known as “lyme disease ar- eas,” – the Eastern seaboard (which includes Pennsylvania), the upper Midwest and Califor- nia. Ostroff said that the 10 states that make up the Eastern seaboard account for 90 percent of the lyme disease cases in the country. And the situation is getting worse. A little more than a decade ago most of the lyme disease cases were occurring in a narrow strip along the ocean, in places such as New Jersey, Connecti- cut, and islands off of Massachu- setts. In Pennsylvania, most lyme disease cases occurred in and around Philadelphia. “That’s not the case any- more,” Ostroff said. “It appears to be moving westward and northward, and infected ticks are relatively common in the central and northeastern parts of the state.” As far as a reason for the spread, Ostroff said nobody real- ly know for sure. But, he said, one factor in the spread of lyme disease isn’t the tick, but people. “We’re increasingly building housing in areas that were once wooded.

Family members said John- son’s health had been in decline the past five years. Johnson’s pro playing career spanned 14 seasons, including 13 in the NFL and now-defunct American Football League, and culminated with his induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He prepped at Pittsburg (Calif.) High School. “For kids in this town, and for me, he was more than a role model; a hero, you might say,” said Federal Glover, who played football for Pittsburg High and now is a District V Supervisor. “He paved the way and inspired dozens of others to say to them- selves, ‘I may come from a small town and a small high school, but I can play in the big leagues.”’ Johnson’s most productive seasons came with the Pitts- burgh Steelers in the ’60s, when he twice rushed for more than 1,000 yards. He also was a mem- ber of the Detroit Lions’ title- winning team in 1957. However, it was during his three seasons with the 49ers for which Johnson is best remem- bered. He teamed with running backs Joe “The Jet” Perry and Hugh McElhenny and quarter- back Y.A. Tittle from 1954-56 to comprise what many regard as the best backfield in history. “John Henry Johnson helped create the legacy of professional athletes coming out of Pitts- burg,” Glover said in a news re- lease. “Ever since John Henry graduated from Pittsburg High in (1949), a remarkable string of professional athletes have come out of this relatively small com- munity.” McElhenny and Tittle did not return phone calls seeking com- ment. Perry died at 84 on April 25. The 49ers weren’t aware of Johnson’s passing until Friday evening and did not issue a state- ment. Current Pittsburg varsity foot- ball coach Victor Galli said John- son’s size and toughness made him a player for the ages. “You watch film of him, and he’s amazing,” Galli said. “He would be successful in today’s NFL because he was such a tough, hard-nosed football play- er.” Johnson’s No. 35 is retired at Pittsburg High, and his framed jersey hangs in the weight room. Johnson’s football career took root in the Bay Area. He played collegiately at Saint Mary’s and Arizona State before he was se- lected by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the second round of the 1953 NFL draft—No. 18 overall. Johnson, 6-foot-2 and 210 pounds, elected to play in Cana- da in 1953, but he joined the 49ers after one season in the Canadian Football League and became an instant hit when he rushed for 681 yards, second in the league, and nine touchdowns his rookie season. He was select- ed to four Pro Bowls during a career that yielded 6,803 yards rushing and 48 touchdowns.

This weekend clearly won't be a repeat perform- ance...after showers moved through yester- day afternoon. Expect periods of sun midday today, but more showers and maybe even a thunderstorm will develop this afternoon in response to a trough of low pressure stalling out over the eastern half of the Commonwealth. Temperatures will make it into the upper 70s, but the real warm weather arrives later in the week. Highs will climb to near 90 by Thursday as a brief ridge of high pressure builds over the northeast. It will be short-lived, with more spring-like weather return- ing by next weekend. -Ryan Coyle NATIONAL FORECAST: A storm system is expected to generate showers and thunderstorms from the Mid-Atlantic to the Ohio Valley today. Some of these storms may be severe. A few weaker showers and thunderstorms will also be possible over portions of the Northeast.

You have worked hard in college these past four years — five or six years for some of you — and are about to enter the real world. That world, as “The Daily Show” host Jon Stewart told William & Mary graduates in 2004, is a little different than life on campus. “The biggest difference,” Stewart told them, “is you will now be paying for things.” Indeed, finances will play a big role in your life from now on. Two-thirds of you leaving school with a bachelor’s degree will be shouldering student loans. And you’ll have to start repaying them before you know it. One of your life’s biggest financial goals — though you may not believe this now — must be saving for retire- ment. By the time you retire, there will be even fewer pensions than today, and Social Security benefits will be stingier than what your grandparents now enjoy. But the financial outlook is by no means bleak. The job market for new graduates remains challenging, but it’s the best since the 2008 financial crisis. And you have something priceless that your parents and grandparents don’t have — time. Start saving now, even small amounts, and it will pay big dividends down the road because your invest- ments will have more years to grow. Even if you invest as little as $200 a month in a Roth IRA and earn an 8 percent annual return, you’ll be a mil- lionaire by the time you reach your full retirement age of 67. Here are some suggestions to get you on a sound financial path: STUDENT LOANS: Graduates who borrowed for college are carrying an average of $27,200 in student loan debt, calculates Mark Kantrowitz, publisher of financial aid sites FinAi- d.org and Fastweb.com. Most of these loans are from the federal government, and you generally have to start repaying them six months after graduation. Uncle Sam offers a variety of repayment options to help struggling borrowers. If federal loans eat up most of your paycheck, for instance, you may be eligible for an income-based repay- ment plan. Payments won’t exceed 15 percent of discretionary income. And if your earnings are really paltry, you might not have to pay anything at all. Any debt remaining after 25 years is erased — or after 10 years, if you have been in public service for a decade. If you can’t find a job, you may be able to defer payments on federal loans for up to three years. Or you may qualify for a forbearance, in which payments are suspended or tempo- rarily reduced. Explore your options at studentaid.ed.gov. You also might consider volunteer- ing with AmeriCorps if you can’t find other work, Kantrowitz said. The program offers education awards worth up to $5,550 a year that can be applied to reducing federal student loan debt, he says. Even if you volun- teer only for the summer, the award is pro-rated. Whatever you do, don’t default. The penalties are harsh. And the govern- ment can garnish wages, tax refunds and even Social Security benefits in retirement to collect its due. HEALTH INSURANCE: If you’re fortunate, you will land a job that provides health care insurance. If not, you can remain on your par- ents’ workplace plan until you turn 26, thanks to health care reform. Workers sometimes pay extra to cover dependents. This means that your parents might have to shell out more to keep you on their plan. Not all parents are generous, though. A recent survey sponsored by online broker eHealthInsurance found that four out of 10 parents said they would keep an adult child on a health plan only if it didn’t cost them any- thing. Tough love. Another option is to buy an individ- ual policy.

Shoppers who switched to oth- er stores when Wal-Mart decided to ditch best-selling toothbrush brands, craft supplies and bolts of fabric may be hard to win back. The company has taken nine months to restore thousands of grocery items, including some bestselling brands, it dumped from its shelves two years ago. The idea was to tidy up stores for the wealthier customers it had won during the recession. Grocery sales have improved, rising in the low single digits in the first quarter. But overall traf- fic at its U.S. namesake stores has been down and revenue at stores open at least a year has posted eight straight quarters of declines on a year-over-year ba- sis. Wal-Mart says it will take until the end of the year to restock the rest of the store with items that were culled, from craft supplies to home furnishings. That will go a long way toward restoring Wal- Mart’s ability to provide one-stop shopping, which could be a plus as shoppers make fewer trips to save on gasoline. “The customer, for the most part, is still in the store shop- ping, but they started doing some more shopping elsewhere, and we want to bring them back. We know that it’s easy to lose them.” said Wal-Mart Stores Inc.’s chief financial officer Char- les Holley during a Citi Global Consumer Conference last week. Dollar stores, which benefited from shoppers trying to stretch their dollars in the recession, are continuing to gain new custom- ers and post higher revenue. The trend has accelerated as gasoline prices closed in on $4 a gallon.

BUSINESS AWARDS Gillespie NEW YORK — The govern- ment is moving forward with its crackdown on the country’s for- profit schools, aiming to protect students from taking on too much debt to attend schools that do nothing for their job prospec- ts. But student advocates protest that the final version of the De- partment of Education’s “gainful employment” rule, released Thursday, is way too soft. Mean- while, schools and industry lob- byists rail that the DOE has no legal standing to even impose the rule at all. Only investors appeared hap- py with the outcome the day the rule were released. Shares of for- profit school companies soared as investors viewed the scope of the DOE’s new regulations as having a much less dire impact on the sector than they had feared. Analysts say the rule is more lenient than they and most shareholders had expected — “meaningfully watered down,” said R.W. Baird’s Amy Junker. Corinthian Colleges Inc., one of the schools considered most at risk of having to shut down programs or make a significant overhaul to its business to com- ply with the rule, jumped nearly 27 percent. Shares of the nation’s largest chain, Apollo Group Inc., which owns the University of Phoenix, rose 11 percent. DeVry gained nearly 15 percent. Most students at career colleg- es and vocational schools pay tuition with federal financial aid dollars. But that leaves taxpayers on the hook if students can’t find good jobs and default on their loans. And they are defaulting in large numbers.

Looking out-of-state might not be the answer for some. Arecent AssociatedPress story explained that states around the country are decreasing education spending to close budget gaps while school districts are running out of federal stimulusmoneythat prevented widespread job losses the past two years. Wilkes University’s Robert Gardner, an assistant professor of education, tells students that al- though it’s a difficult economic time, education will always be an institution that people want and need. “The proposed teacher layoffs have raised concern among our education students; however, they are not discouraged,” Gardn- er said. Misericordia’s Kingsley Banya, chairman of the Dallas Township school’steacher educationdepart- ment, said he saw the impact of budget cuts to education during his 20 years in Florida. “No professional wants to walk whereyoudon’t knowwhat thefu- ture holds,” he said. Banya said one of his concerns is the morale of those teachers who supervise student teachers and how that morale might affect both education majors and chil- dren in the classroom. He said some education graduates are considering relocating to find work. “They feel they should cast their net wider by moving out of state,” he said. He said that he and his col- leagues tell education majors that within five years there will be 1.5 million teachers retiring nation- wide and that students should “stay the course.” Banya said that means they might have to move out of this area to gain experience before returning and finding a teaching job. Banya said education majors seemhopeful that theprospect for finding work will improve. “We all have to live on hope. We’re trying to keep their spirits up,” he said. EDUCATION Continued from Page 1D WASHINGTON — Where did all the workers go? The labor force — those who have a job or are looking for one —is gettingsmaller, eventhough the economy is growing and steadily adding jobs. That trend defies the rules of a normal eco- nomic recovery. Nobodyis surewhyit’s happen- ing. Economists think some of the missing workers have retired, have entered college or are get- ting by on government disability checks. Others have probably just given up looking for work. “Asmall work force means mil- lions of discouraged workers, lower output in the future and a weak recovery,” says Rep. Kevin Brady of Texas, the ranking Re- publican on the Congress’ Joint Economic Committee. “Those are unhealthy signs.” By the government’s defini- tion, if youquit looking, you’re no longer counted as unemployed. And you’re no longer part of the labor force. Since November, the number of Americans counted as employ- ed has grown by 765,000, to just shy of 139 million. The nationhas been creating jobs every month as the economy recovers. The economy added 244,000 jobs in April. But the number of Americans counted as unemployed has shrunk by much more — almost 1.3 million — during this time. That means the labor force has dropped by 529,000 workers. The percentage of adults in the labor force is a figure that econo- mists call the participation rate. It is 64.2 percent, the smallest since 1984. And that’s become a mystery toeconomists. Normally after a recession, an improving economy lures job seekers back into the labor market. This time, manyarestayingonthesidelines. Their decision not to seek work means the drop in unem- ployment from9.8 percent in No- vember to 9 percent in April isn’t as good as it looks. If the 529,000 missing workers had been out scavenging for a job without success, the unemploy- ment rate would have been 9.3 percent in April, not the reported rate of 9 percent. And if the par- ticipation rate were as high as it was whenthe recessionbegan, 66 percent, in December 2007, the unemployment rate could have been as high as 11.5 percent. A majority of the 42 econo- mists in the latest Associated Press quarterly economic survey said they expect the labor force participation rate to start grow- ing consistently before the year ends. Twelve don’t expect it to happen until next year at the ear- liest. Five think it never will. The labor force grew by just 15,000inApril fromMarch—not evenenoughto keep up withpop- ulation growth. Labor force shrinks as job seekers give up By PAUL WISEMAN AP Economics Writer TOKYO — The Japanese gov- ernment wants the country’s suit- loving salarymen to be bold this summer. Ditch the stuffy jacket andtie. Andfor the goodof a coun- try facing a power crunch, go light and casual. Japan’s “Super Cool Biz” cam- paignkickedoff Wednesday witha government-sponsored fashion show featuring outfits appropriate for theofficeyet cool enoughtoen- dure the sweltering heat. This summer may be especially brutal. The loss of the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant, which was crippled by the March 11tsunami, meanselectricitycould be in short supply around the na- tion’s capital, Tokyo, during espe- cially hot days. To prevent blackouts, the gov- ernment is asking companies and government offices to cut electric- ity usage by 15 percent. It wants companies to limit air condition- ingandset roomtemperatures at a warm 28 degrees Celsius (82 de- grees Fahrenheit). The idea isn’t new. “Cool Biz” wasintroducedin2005bytheenvi- ronment minister at thetime, Yuri- ko Koike. The campaign was part of efforts to fight global warming. But with Japan dealing with an ongoing nuclear crisis and the af- termath of a magnitude-9.0 earth- quake and tsunami, officials decid- ed they needed to take Cool Biz one step further this year. “When we started Cool Biz in 2005, people said it was undigni- fied and sloppy,” Koike said at the fashion show held at a Tokyo de- partment store. “But this is now the sixth year, and people have grown accustomed to it.” Surveys bytheCabinet Officein- dicate that companies are gradual- ly jumping on board. In a 2009 na- tionwide poll, 57 percent of about 2,000 respondents reported that Cool Biz hadbeenimplementedin their workplaces. The figure stood at 47 percent two years earlier and at less than a third in 2005. So what’s different with Super Cool Biz? First, the dress code. Poloshirts, Aloha shirts and sneakers are ac- ceptable now under the environ- ment ministry’srelaxedguidelines. Jeans and sandals are OK too un- der certain circumstances. Men might even think of carry- ing a fan or trying a pair of tight pedal pusherslikeonemodel wore, though whether such fashion ex- tremes would actually catch on is another matter. Notably missing from the envi- ronment ministry’s dress code are specific rules for women. Despite the omission, Wednesday’s fashion show included ensembles for women as well. Khakis, white pants and airy polyester dresses areall apparently acceptable. Japan wants businessmen to shed suits, save energy AP PHOTO A model presents a casual office wear during a ’Super Cool Biz’ fashion show. The campaign kicked off with the government-sponsored event featuring outfits appropriate for the office yet cool enough to endure the sweltering heat. By TOMOKO A. HOSAKA Associated Press cal programs and culinary schools represent just 12 percent of all higher education students but 46 percent of all student loan dollars in default. The average student earning an associate de- gree at a for-profit school carries $14,000 in federal loan debt ver- sus the $0 debt burden of most community college students. So the DOE has set criteria that for-profit schools must meet in order to maintain access to federal financial aid dollars, whichcanrepresent upto90per- cent of a school’s revenue. If graduates owe too much relative to their income, or too few for- mer students are paying back their tuition loans on time, schools stand to lose access to Pell grants and federal student aid. Such a loss would seriously crimp schools’ ability to attract students and make money. Under final terms of the law, schools will only be able to re- ceive federal-paid tuition if at least 35 percent of its former stu- dents are repaying their loans. The agency drew up the gain- ful employment rule in 2010, but delayed putting it into effect as it faced heavy lobbying from schools and politicians. For the past 18 months, the DOE has been negotiating the scope of gainful employment with indus- try representatives and advo- cates. Last summer, the DOE re- leased a draft of the regulation and the tough proposed stance spurred a sell-off in education shares. Companies fought hard against it. The DOE received more than 90,000 comments about the rule. Corinthian alone has spent more than $1 million since the beginning of last year on lobbying. The lobbying appears to have worked. Under therule’s original terms, programs that failed to meet the criteria wouldhave lost federal loan eligibility immedi- ately andenrollment wouldhave been frozen at any school in dan- ger of failing. But the finalized rule gives schools multiple chances over a four-year period to improve their stats. That means no school will be in dan- ger of losing funding for a pro- gramuntil 2015, rather thannext year. After “three strikes,” a school will lose eligibility for three years.

Q: I have a co-worker who is running a Web-based business oncompany time. “Linn” spends hours monitoring her website, taking orders, sending invoices and arranging for shipments. At the end of the day, she prints out her documents and takes them home. Linn gives more time to her business than to her job, but our boss appears to be completely unaware of these activities. He occasionally asks other employ- ees to help Linn out because she’s so busy. However, she’s just busy making money for herself. Linn’s behavior is just plain wrong, and she should not be al- lowed to get away with it. Is there anything I can do? A: Bluntly put, Linn is a thief. By accepting a paycheck, then using work time for her own per- sonal gain, she is effectively stealing from the company. Ad- visingmanagement of this trans- gression is no different than re- porting someone who pockets money from a cash register. If youworkina large business, you can ask the human re- sources manager or corporate attorney to investigate while keeping your name confidential. However, if you’re in a small company, going directly to man- agement may be your only op- tion. In that case, have a con- cerned colleague accompany you to verify your story. When you describe the situa- tion, remain calm and focus on the facts. For example: “I thought you should know that Linn has been running a person- al business on company time. She spends several hours a day selling products through her website. Other employees are becoming resentful because she’s falling behind in her work. We would appreciate your inves- tigating this.” Once you inform the powers- that-be, you will have done all that you can do. If your manage- ment is at all competent, Linn will soon be operating her busi- ness at home. Q: One of my employees con- stantly criticizes her colleagues for making “immoral” life choic- es. Her judgmental remarks are creating a very uncomfortable atmosphere on our team. As a business owner, I feel I have a re- sponsibility to keep people from being harassed this way. What should I do? A: For starters, you should tell this self-righteous woman that she must immediately stop lec- turing co-workers about their personal lives. Explain that this rule applies to all team mem- bers, including anyone who might criticize her own life choices. To ensure that everyone un- derstands your expectations, discuss the issue in a teammeet- ingwithout mentioningthis par- ticular employee. The others may assume that her behavior triggered your remarks, but that’s OK as long as you don’t single her out. For example: “As team mem- bers, we need to recognize and respect the boundary between our work and our personal lives. Making critical comments about a colleague’s lifestyle is disruptive to the teamand total- ly unacceptable. If anyone ever treats youthis way, please let me know.” A stern admonition may re- solve the problem. But if your sanctimonious employee stub- bornly refuses to curb her offen- sive behavior, the only solution is to remove her from the team.

MCINTYRE McClatchy-Tribune News Service healthy, so the premiums on this policy can be cheaper than stick- ing with a parent’s plan, says Carrie McLean, a consumer health insurance specialist with eHealthInsurance. Still, if the costs are similar, young adults usually are better off with the parent’s group plan because the benefits tend to be better, she says. RETIREMENT: “Start saving for retirement immediately,” said Stuart Ritter, a financial planner with T. Rowe Price in Baltimore. Your employer likely will offer a 401(k) or a similar retirement plan. You contribute through payroll deductions before taxes have been taken out. Employers typically kick in some cash, too. You’ll pay income taxes on the nest egg when you make with- drawals in retirement. Or, if your employer doesn’t offer a plan, open a Roth IRA. You contribute money that’s already been taxed. But the big Roth benefit is that any invest- ment growth won’t be taxed in retirement. To maintain your lifestyle in retirement, new grads should set aside 13 percent of gross pay each year, which includes any employer contribution, Ritter said. FINANCE Continued from Page 1D Automobile club AAA recently launched the latest addition to its suite of free mobile applications with the release of the AAA Insur- ance app for iPhone and iPad. The AAA Insurance app walks drivers through the post-traffic crash process of collecting infor- mation, photos and even request- ing a tow truck. “Being involved in a traffic crash canbetraumatic, evenif all thepar- ties involved are uninjured. There are a lot of things to do and infor- mation to collect following a colli- sion that can seem overwhelming whencombinedwiththe stress of a car crash,” said Jim Lardear, direc- tor of Public and Government Af- fairs for AAA Mid-Atlantic, which serves the Wilkes-Barre region. “The AAA Insurance app provides step-by-step instructions on what information you should gather, in- cluding photos, in addition to re- questing a tow truck for you.” The AAA Insurance app pro- vides AAA’s recommended steps on what to do immediately after a traffic collision and helps you gath- er important information about the crash needed to submit an in- surance claim, such as: · Taking photos of the crash scene and damage to the vehi- cles and property · Documentingvehiclemodels and people involved in the crash · Documenting the location of the crash · Identifying damage to vehi- cles by making a few taps on your phone · Documenting witnesses and police report details The app also provides one- touch access to call police and emergency services, AAA to re- quest a tow and the AAA Insur- ance claims department, for those AAA Insurance policyhol- ders. The app allows users to store their auto insurance company’s contact information, policy number, drivers on the policy andvehicles onthe policy, which can be password protected for privacy. Additionally, users can view a summary of the traffic crash details and email a report straight from their iPhone.

AAA adds insurance app for iPhone, iPad By Times Leader Staff maneuvered the post-recession economy. They have expanded their inventory, particularly brand names, become more competitive on price and are expanding to new locations. Meanwhile, some wealthier shoppers are trading back up to the mall or higher-end grocery stores like Whole Foods. Wal-Mart is increasingly “caught in the middle” between dollar stores and more expen- sive stores, Wall Street Strate- gies analyst Brian Sozzi. “Now, it’s trying to return to its roots, but it’s facing old competitors — the dollar stores — that are getting much better.” Richard Hastings, a consum- er strategist with Global Hun- ter Securities, gives Wal-Mart two years to woo back its U.S. customers before their new shopping habits are imprinted. But the restocking has taken longer than Wal-Mart predict- ed. In November, it had said that the merchandise it cut would be restored by this past spring. Even when Wal-Mart has been able to get goods to the stores, the company known for its efficiency and precision has had trouble getting them onto shelves, says Cameron Smith, who recruits executives for Wal-Mart suppliers and also serves as an adviser. Suppliers using third parties to backstop the placement of their goods on the shelves, he said. That adds to their costs. Palettes of merchandise are crowding aisles, Sozzi notes. Shares of Wal-Mart have tracked closer to its profits than its domestic sales this past year, and its international busi- ness has propped up revenue and profits. Wal-Mart shares are up 7 over the past 12 months. But they peaked in late January and have lost 5 percent since the company said it would not predict when U.S. revenue at stores open at least a year will begin growing, after setting a target date for last ho- liday season and missing it. The namesake Walmart stores account for 62 percent of the company’s revenue; interna- tional makes up 26 percent. WALMART Continued from Page 1D AP PHOTO Teyonce Armstrong, right, 7, and her brothers Keith, 6, and Mark- quis, 11, play by the door of a Harlem Deal$ store in New York. The company said at the end of May it continues to see more cus- tomers who are spending more per visit. Dollar stores pose the biggest threat to Wal-Mart, the nation’s biggest retailer. MarketPulse Stan Choe, Kristen Girard • AP ANOTHER JUNE SWOON May was a bad month for stocks: The S&P 500 dropped 1.4 percent for its worst loss in nine months. Too bad June is usually a struggle. Since World War II, the S&P 500 has dropped in June nearly as many times as it has gained. June has been just a flat month overall for the index since 1945, tying it for third worst in the year. By June, companies are mostly done re- porting first-quarter earnings, which means investors focus more on eco- nomic data. It’s been mostly scary lately. The job and housing markets are still weak, and European nations are struggling to repay their debts. Many of the same problems dogged the market last summer, and the S&P 500 lost 5.4 percent in June 2010. THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES It makes sense that investors would buy stocks that have done well for them be- fore. It just doesn’t make much of a dif- ference. Researchers from the universi- ties of Arizona, California-Berkeley and California-Davis searched through the trading histories of more than 700,000 individual investors. They found that when investors buy a stock they already owned in the past year, they’re only half as likely to buy ones that had lost them money. The researchers attributed it to investors wanting to forget the regret associated with bad trades. The bias, though, makes little difference. When investors do buy a previous winner, they end up doing about the same as if they had bought any other stock of similar size and growth characteristics. PEEKING UP Natural gas prices are near their high for the year again, climbing 6 percent through Friday. Hot weather across much of the coun- try has helped: More air conditioners whirring mean more de- mand for electricity, which means more demand for gas from power plants. But don’t get carried away. Gas has been a disap- pointing investment for nearly three years, and some analysts expect it to continue. Gas’ struggles started in 2008, when prices crashed from $13 per 1,000 cubic feet in the summer to $5 by the winter. One problem has been supply. There’s too much of it. Demand may also weaken later this summer, Barclays Capital says. Bigger-than-normal snowmelts in the North- west mean utilities will get more power from their hy- droelectric dams, limiting the need for gas.

Weitz & Co., looks to own compa- nies that are good values and easy to understand. What compa- nies do you like? We’ve been buying Target (TGT) recently on the retail side. We think it’s a great sto- ry: a very under- standable basic business with some interest- ing things going on right now. They’re undergoing [a] remodel program that they’re rolling out to their store base which introduces groceries and other consumables to a bigger percentage of the store, which is ... where the consumer is going now. [They’re] not able to re- ally spend much on [discretionary goods] but [are] getting the day- to-day basics. They also have the REDcard, which is a 5 percent dis- count store-branded card, which is helping to drive traffic especially among their most loyal customers. But Target’s stock has fallen 11 percent over the past year. Why? Discretionary retail names have been subject to the whims of the marketplace. When people are feeling good about the economy, they tend to bid them up. When people are concerned about either a double-dip or a [sluggish] envi- ronment, they tend to get beaten down. Our view is fairly conserva- tive. We think the economy will continue to bump along and stay positive, but we certainly don’t have any real optimistic scenarios baked into our view. What about technology? Large-cap tech just seems very beaten up. We’ve owned Microsoft for a number of years now. It trades at 9 times earnings. It has great [brands] in Office, Windows and other business lines. It’s sitting on $50 billion in cash, although it’s soon to go to $41.5 billion after they purchase Skype. Is it surprising that technology stocks have become values? Many companies that we never thought we’d have the chance of owning 10 years ago are kind of coming into our wheelhouse. We’ve looked at Cisco, we don’t own it currently, but that’s an ex- ample of something that we never thought would fall into value territo- ry. We do own Google, which is a [growth] business, but still a rela- tively reasonably priced stock. ... Dell is also in the sweet spot of large-cap, boring tech that every- body loves to hate. And, again, it’s just an incredibly cheap, misunder- stood business. You also own Liberty Media. What do you make of their bid for Barnes & Noble? That’s an interesting one. We un- derstand the appeal of [Barnes & Noble’s] Nook [e-reader]. We have not studied it closely, so we don’t have a strong opinion on what the business is worth. The [Liberty] management team has an incredi- ble track record of employing capi- tal efficiently on behalf of share- holders, so we tend to give them the benefit of the doubt and we’re very interested in learning more about it over time and what they’re seeing there. What industries look expensive? We’ve found that since the March 2009 bottom, small-cap stocks and particularly speculative small-cap stocks have done the best. I don’t think we’d go as far to say they’re ahead of themselves. But I think we’re not finding much value there. What advice would you give to individual investors? The hardest thing in human nature is to chase what’s been hot most recently and that probably takes the form of asset allocation more than anything else. I think a lot of individual investors who are under- standably scared and cautious af- ter the financial meltdown kind of fled to the perceived safety of bonds at that point in times when bonds had very attractive valua- tions. Our concern would probably be that if the stock rally continues to run, hopefully people don’t choose to get back into stocks at the wrong time again. Finding clear values Hinton InsiderQ&A Stocks from emerging mar- kets are, well, so 2010. This year, bonds have been the bet- ter investment. Mutual funds that invest in emerging market bonds re- turned 4.5 percent in 2011 through Wednesday. Emerging market stock funds were flat over the same time. Several trends are luring in- vestors to debt issued by emerging markets: • HEALTHIER FINANCES. Greece and other European countries are struggling to re- pay their debts. The U.S. may default in August unless it rais- es its debt limit. Emerging economies, in contrast, have much less debt. “Many of these countries have more pristine balance sheets and higher real interest rates,” bond manager Bill Gross wrote in a recent commentary. He runs PIMCO’s Total Return fund, which has $243 billion in assets. He sold all his Trea- sury holdings in February. • PROSPECTS FOR RISING CURRENCIES. One Mexican peso was worth 8.057 cents in at the end of 2010. On Wednesday, it was worth 8.56 cents, or 6.2 percent more in dollars. T. Rowe Price just launched a fund to buy bonds issued in emerging market cur- rencies to take advantage of such gains. It already had a fund that invested in emerging markets’ dollar-denominated debt. • FASTER ECONOMIC GROWTH. China and other emerging economies are struggling with inflation, but economists still expect China’s growth to more than triple that of the U.S. next year. Some analysts see dips ahead in coming months, even though they like emerging mar- ket bonds for the long term. Credit Suisse analysts, for ex- ample, say a series of discour- aging economic data reports around the world may cause prices to swing through the summer. Emerging market bonds have also had a shaky past. Russia defaulted in1998, for example. Bonding with emerging markets S. Choe, K.

Makers of metals and other materials in the S&P 500, for example, fell 5.8 percent between the end of April and Thursday. Utility companies rose 0.2 percent over that time. Utility profits move up and down less with the economy, making them a so-called “defensive” industry. But JPMorgan strategist Thomas Lee says this is as an opportunity to buy cyclical stocks on the cheap. He sees cyclical stocks regaining momentum, as the Federal Reserve keeps interest rates low. Economic data have also been so bad that economists cut forecasts for future reports. That ups the odds that future economic reports will beat expectations, which would help cyclical stocks. Another attraction: Cyclical stocks are now cheaper than defensive stocks, based on their earnings. That’s a flip from their historical track record. Investors have usually paid more for each $1 in profit of a cyclical stock than for a defensive stock. This screen shows 20 stocks that bold investors may want to consider. All are cyclical stocks, and JPMorgan rates all as “Outperform.” Data through midday June 2 *1=buy;2=hold;3=sell CLOSE DIV. YIELD AVG.

C M Y K VIEWS S E C T I O N E THE TIMES LEADER SUNDAY, JUNE 5, 2011 timesleader.com “THE COUNTY man- ager shall be appoint- ed by a resolution of County Council adopted by an affirma- tive vote of at least a majority plus one.” Those words are chiseled into the new Luzerne County home rule charter that voters adopted in November. Last month, on May 17, we took the first step toward the selection of that county manager when 11 Democrats and 11 Republicans were nominated for county council. Of the 22 nominated, plus an unknown number of independ- ent candidates yet to step forward, 11 people will be elected on Nov. 8. It takes seven of them, “a majority plus one,” to choose the chief executive of Luzerne County. It is the most important vote that council members will cast. The qual- ifications – or lack thereof – of the person chosen will help determine the future direction of this region. When one considers the important authority vested in the hands of the new county manager, the 11 elected to council and the various combinations of seven therein, become critical. The new charter states that the county manager “shall serve as the head of the Executive Branch of gov- ernment and be responsible for the administration of all County oper- ations, divisions, departments, bu- reaus, offices, agencies, boards, com- missions, and other administrative units of the County government.” The candidates you ultimately elect will hire the county executive on your behalf. It is of singular importance. Elect the wrong 11 to council, and you might get a local politico incapable of doing the job. The downward spiral will be unabated. A cursory review of the 22 who have been nominated suggests several con- ceivable combinations of seven that could result in someone being plucked right out of the courthouse, or from the ranks of local political parties, and plopped in the county manager’s chair. It would be terribly naïve to believe that such conversations have not and are not taking place. After all, the home rule charter clearly states “the county manager shall appoint, pro- mote, discipline, suspend, and remove, all county employees” (according to law and agreements, of course). The manager’s authority to hire and fire, and the political desire to see that an “acceptable” manager is named, was reason enough for some council hope- fuls to run. The drafters of the home rule charter spelled out quite clearly that the coun- ty manager “shall be appointed on the basis of executive abilities and adminis- trative qualifications as evidenced by professional preparation, training, and experience in public administration, finance, and/or other fields that dem- onstrate substantial ability to perform the functions of County Manager. He/ she shall possess at least a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university and have at least five years of relevant work experience.” Despite the well-meaning intent of the authors, a majority of seven, deter- mined to keep things as they are, will turn those words inside out and put one of their own in charge. In addition, the new county manager is responsible for the creation of a long-range operational, fiscal and cap- ital plan, a “state of the county” report and an “accountability, conduct and ethics code.” The manager must represent the county in all intergovernmental meet- ings, in matters of economic devel- opment and will negotiate, award and sign all agreements to which the coun- ty is a party. It is a large responsibility. Voters must elect candidates eager to forego parochial interests and search nationwide for the most experienced, talented and independent executive of integrity they can find. Ask the candidates if they are so inclined. Or, in 2012, are they open to appointing a local politico to run Lu- zerne County?

IT WAS A cold, blow- ing, fall day. The boys were gathered around the old stove at Hub- bard Grain and Feed in the small, central Texas town of Hub- bard, and they had each added a slight nip to the morning coffee. The chill left the room and their ranch-worn, creaking bones. As their temperatures rose, so did their tem- pers. A few favored re-election of the pop- ular but controversial Texas Commis- sioner of Agriculture, Democrat Jim Hightower. There were folks back then, in 1990, who said ol’ Hightower might someday be president. Most liked the up-and-comer, Repub- lican State Rep. Rick Perry. They challenged the grain store owner to phone a Texas newspaper publisher he knew. I answered the phone in my office at the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that early morning and got an earful of intense lobbying. The majority of the ranchers around the stove liked Perry and said he could beat Hightower, who they disliked. “Endorse him!” they shouted. They wanted to hear nothing of the newspaper’s editorial board and the formal process we followed in making election endorsements. “Be a man!” they demanded. “Listen to the ranchers and endorse him.” I acquiesced, not at all certain I could deliver. But endorsing Perry turned out to be easy. He was a char- ming and convincing candidate. Be- sides, I figured that if anyone knew who ought to be Commissioner of Agriculture it would be some ranchers talking politics at the local grain and feed store. Perry beat Hightower in a close race. That’s when I began to realize that you can never take Perry for granted. I learned that after being editor and publisher of The Times Leader — for the first time — and moving to Texas. After spending a number of years run- ning the Star-Telegram for a national media chain and later my own newspa- per company, I saw firsthand that it’s unwise to count out Gov. Perry on any front. But Perry for president? Perry has been coy about his in- tentions, but there have been rum- blings of late that he might join the growing list of candidates who will compete for the Republican presi- dential nomination and the opportuni- ty to challenge President Obama in the 2012 election. Perry has beaten crowd- ed fields before, most notably when he won re-election as governor in 2006 despite being challenged by what seemed like every notable resident of Texas except Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. My favorite candidate in that elec- tion, by the way, was singer/songwrit- er/novelist Kinky Friedman, whose catchiest campaign slogan was his answer to the question of why he was qualified for governor: “How hard can it be?” Being governor of Texas may not be that difficult but, as Kinky discovered, beating Rick Perry is close to impos- sible. Perry prevailed in that 2006 contest with just 39 percent of the vote. But a win is a win. Rick Perry is a man of infinite sur- prises. He was once a good Democrat. Serv- ing in the grand tradition of rural Dem- ocrats in Texas, he was elected three times to two-year terms in the Texas House of Representatives. Some who know him say that Rick was inspired to pursue a career in politics when he attended — at age 10 or 11 — the 1961 funeral of legendary Texas lawmaker Sam Rayburn, who had served as Speaker of the House both in the state Legislature and in the United States Congress. With the likes of Rayburn and Lyndon B. Johnson as political role models, it made perfect sense that a young Texan in those years would sign on with the Demo- crats. RICHARD L. CONNOR O P I N I O N Rick Perry: A candidate of many surprises See CONNOR, Page 8E WASHINGTON — On June 5, 1981, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a warning shot to the world when they reported the first known cases of what would soon be called AIDS. In its Morbidity and Mortality Week- ly Report, the CDC reported that five gay men had been hospitalized in Los Angeles with a rare strain of pneumo- nia that mainly afflicted people with compromised immune systems. Two of the men already had died. The occurrence “in these 5 previous- ly healthy individuals without a clini- cally apparent underlying immunodef- iciency is unusual,” the now-historic re- port reads. “The fact that these pa- tients were all homosexuals suggests an association” between the pneumo- nia they developedand“some aspect of a homosexual lifestyle or disease ac- quired through sexual contact.” It wasn’t until July 1982 that one of the worst global killers of all time wouldtakeits formal nameas Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. But it took longer for the public to under- stand that gay men weren’t the only ones at risk. In the years that followed, AIDS would engulf the world in fear as it spread among intravenous drug users, hemophiliacs, pregnant women and in- fants. Along the way, “safe sex” went from a catch phrase to a lifestyle for many. “Once it became clear that it was in the blood supply and was caused by a virus, people went from total denial and complacency to much more of a panic mode,” recalled James Curran, who headed the CDC’s first task force on the mysterious disease back in1981. “When those first five cases were re- ported, there were already 250,000 gay men in the U.S who were infected with the virus.” Onthe30thanniversaryof theCDC’s groundbreaking report, the worldwide numbers for AIDS simply astound: more than 30 million dead, and anoth- er 33.3 million people who either live with the disease or HIV, the virus that causes it. Two-thirds of the world’s AIDS and HIV patients live in sub-Sah- aran Africa. In the U.S., where more than a mil- lion people have HIV or AIDS, the dis- ease has killed more than 617,000 peo- ple.

That landmark legislation eliminated tax loopholes to broaden the tax base while also lowering the corporate tax rate. • It also increased corporate tax revenue flowing into the Treasury by 34 percent. As the Obama administration readies a proposal to overhaul the nation’s corporate tax structure once again, some of the same tax- code giveaways that prompted the 1986 overhaul have reappeared. GE’s low U.S. corporate tax burden is still ruffling populist feathers, lobbyists and legislators have pad- ded the tax code with hundreds of new loopholes and McIntyre is again agitating for change. This time around, he’s joined by dozens of national and state organi- zations that want corporations to pay down a larger share of this year’s $1.5 trillion federal deficit. They’re urging Congress and the Obama administration to make it happen. To simplify the tax system, Presi- dent BarackObama wants toclosea host of corporate taxbreaks anduse the extra revenue that would gener- ate to offset a reduction in the cor- porate tax rate. America’s top cor- porate tax rate of 35 percent is one of thehighest intheworld, but most companies pay a much lower effec- tive tax rate because the system is riddled with tax breaks. “Get rid of the loopholes. Level the playing field. And use the sav- ings to lower the corporate tax rate for the first time in25 years —with- out adding to our deficit. It can be done,” Obama said to applause dur- ing his State of the Union address. But Obama’s approach wouldn’t take the revenue gained by ending loopholes to pay down the deficit, as theliberals propose; he’duseit all as a tradeoff for the lower corporate tax rate. Obama’s stand is rooted in politi- cal reality: Any plan to end corpo- rate tax breaks and steer the reve- nues to the Treasury would be con- sidered a tax increase by business and Republicans — and would be dead on arrival in the GOP-led House of Representatives. So in- stead, Obama backs a budget-neu- tral plan that would make the tax Outraged over taxes MCT PHOTO In 1984, Robert McIntyre shocked Washington by revealing that 17 companies paid no corporate taxes leading to the Tax Reform Act of 1986. As head of Citizens for Tax Justice, McIntyre is lobbying for another reform to tax- es to have large corporations help pay more of the deficit.

I love ’em so much.” Mark LeValley The Lake-Lehman varsity baseball coach led his team to a District 2 Class 2A championship Thursday. Some of the players had been with the coach for as many as nine years at several different levels of play. ONE OF the painfully re- vealing episodes in Barack Obama’s book “Dreams From My Father” describes his early experience listen- ing to a sermon by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Among the things said in that sermon was that “white folks’ greed runs a world in need.” Obama was literally moved to tears by that sermon. This sermon might have been like a reve- lation to Obama, but its explanation of economic and other differences was among the oldest – and most factually discredited – explanations of such difference among all sorts of peoples in all sorts of places. Yet it is an explanation that has long been politi- cally seductive in countries around the world. What could be more emotionally satis- fying than seeing others who have done better in the world as the villains responsib- le for your not having done as well? It is the ideal political explanation, from the stand- point of mass appeal, whether or not it makes any sense. At various times and places, it has been the preferred explanation for the economic differences between the Sinhalese and the Tamil minority in Sri Lanka, the Africans and the Lebanese in Sierra Leone, the Czechs and the Germans in Bohemia and numerous other groups. The idea that the rich have gotten rich by making the poor poor has been an ideolog- ical theme that has played well in Third World countries, to explain why they lag so far behind the West. None of this was original with Jeremiah Wright. All he added was his own colorful gutter style of expressing it, which so cap- tivated the man who is now president. There is obviously something there with very deep emotional appeal. Moreover, there will never be a lack of evil deeds to make that explanation seem plausible. Because the Western culture has been ascendant in the world in recent centuries, the image of rich white people and poor non-white people has made a deep impres- sion, whether in theories of racial superior- ity – which were big among “progressives” in the early 20th century – or in theories of exploitation among “progressives” later on. In a wider view of history, however, it becomes clear that, for centuries before the European ascendancy, Europe lagged far behind China in many achievements. Since neither of them changed much genetically between those times and the later rise of Europe, it is hard to reconcile this role re- versal with racial theories. More important, the Chinese were not to blame for Europe’s problems – which would not be solved until the Europeans them- selves finally got their own act together, instead of blaming others. It is hard to reconcile “exploitation” theo- ries with the facts. While there have been conquered peoples made poorer by their conquerors, especially by Spanish conquer- ors in the Western Hemisphere, in general most poor countries were poor for reasons that existed before the conquerors arrived. Some Third World countries are poorer today than they were when they were ruled by Western countries, generations ago. When millions of people believe those theories, including people in high places, with the fate of nations in their hands, that is a serious and potentially disastrous fact of life. Despite a carefully choreographed image of affability and cool, Obama’s decisions and appointments as president betray an alien- ation from the values and the people of this country that are too disturbing to be an- swered by showing his birth certificate. Too many of his appointees exhibit a similar alienation, including Attorney Gen- eral Eric Holder, under whom the Depart- ment of Justice could more accurately be described as the Department of Payback.

COMMENTARY T H O M A S S O W E L L AMERICANS DON’T seem bothered enough by the country’s growing wealth divide to do much about it, according to a recent Har- vard Business School sur- vey. In part, that’s probably because they vastly underestimate the gap, believing the top 20 percent own 59 percent of the nation’s wealth when they actually own 84 percent. But there’s another, less obvious reason for our passivity – the hope and glory pushed by an all-pervasive news, gossip and star-driven celebrity culture. The core of the American dream teaches us that the formula for achieving wealth involves hard work, determination and luck. Celebrities, and the coverage of them, seem to provide visible proof of this message every day: If it can happen to Justin Bieber, it can happen to me. So why change the system? The connection between stardom and social mobility is as old as the first fan maga- zines of a century ago. Silent-film star Ruth Clifford was an orphan who peered through a knothole at the Edison Studios lot in New Jersey before getting her big break, accord- ing to a 1919 issue of Photoplay. The narrative persists like “once upon a time.” Stories about contemporary celebri- ties – in fan magazines such as “Us Weekly” and on star-driven websites such as E Online – typically highlight how much stars were like us before making it big. We see their embarrassing high school pictures and read about their small hometowns, relationships, babies, body fat, marriages and divorces. Oprah Winfrey is at least as famous for her rise from rural Mississippi to billionaire media mogul as she is for her “Live your best life” message. Teen sensation Bieber personifies overnight success – from You- Tube video to a recording deal and platinum album. The very title of his remix album and biopic, “Never Say Never,” echoes the Amer- ican dream of limitless opportunities for anyone who refuses to give up. The rise of the Internet and reality TV, which has made fame and fortune seem ever more accessible, has further strengthened the illusion that our class system is wide open. That Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi of “Jersey Shore” fame can command $32,000 for a Rutgers University appearance – $2,000 more than Nobel- and Pulitzer Prize-winning Toni Morrison received to deliver the uni- versity’s commencement speech – is not just a commentary on the value we place on celebrity. It also reaffirms the possibility of social mobility for those with few skills. Celebrity culture sustains faith in our economic system in another way. It tells us whom to blame for failure – the individual. During the Depression, silent-film director D.W. Griffith’s career slide was portrayed in a 1934 issue of Photoplay as the result of his own poor business decisions. Never mind the seismic shift that the rise of talkies brought to the industry. Celebrity culture’s focus on individual determination and, to some degree, blind luck as ingredients for success distracts us from the roles power and privilege actually play in upward mobility, even in Hollywood. It makes it easy to forget that a percentage of today’s A-list stars – Gwyneth Paltrow and Kiefer Sutherland, for example – had A-list parents whose connections likely opened doors that for most remain closed. Hollywood is perceived as a bastion of liberalism with a wide variety of progressive causes. The great irony is that the celebrity on which it turns is among the most conser- vative social forces at play in shaping public attitudes about class and social mobility. There’s nothing wrong with the dream, except that it so rarely results in such spec- tacular reality. With celebrity success, we hold fast to American ‘dream’ Karen Sternheimer, a professor of sociology at the University of Southern California, is the author, most recently, of “Celebrity Culture and the Amer- ican Dream: Stardom and Social Mobility.” She wrote this for the Los Angeles Times. COMMENTARY K A R E N S T E R N H E I M E R H IGH SCHOOLS throughout the area are holding gradua- tion ceremonies marked by the traditional pomp, ceremony and unfortu- nately in too many cases, mis- behavior. The matriculation of stu- dents was once a dignified and respect-filled event. In recent years, however, some people have become comfortable hooting, catcalling, texting, cell phoning and conversing throughout the observance. And we’re not talking about the graduating seniors but, rather, a few bad apples in the audience. Friends, supporters and family members often are the people who are out of or- der. The students deserve better. They’ve done the hard work to complete studies and wear the cap and gown for graduation. They have earned our admira- tionandtheexpectationof are- spectful ceremony. Manyof theseyoungwomen and men will move on to col- lege. They eventually will cele- brate other graduations. But some of these young adults plan to immediately enter the work force or the military, and this will be the only school graduation ceremony they will know. Inanycase, whether this will be the first of many gradua- tions or the only one you at- tend, mind your manners. Si- lence your phones and your conversations, and refrain from outbursts of disruptive, untimelyapplause. Dowithout the air horns, too. If the graduates want to tape a message to the top of their mortar boards or conjure up the celebratory beach ball, let them have their fun. Everyone else needs to be content with watching from the audience rather than becoming a part of the event. Show some respect. Be a good example. These young people have earned that from us. OUR OPINION: ETIQUETTE Show respect at graduations RICHARD L. CONNOR Editor and Publisher JOSEPH BUTKIEWICZ Vice President/Executive Editor MARK E. JONES Editorial Page Editor PRASHANT SHITUT President/ Wilkes-Barre Publishing Co. Editorial Board QUOTE OF THE DAY RICHARD L. CONNOR Editor and Publisher PRASHANT SHITUT President JOSEPH BUTKIEWICZ Vice President/Executive Editor RICHARD DEHAVEN Vice President/Circulation ALLISON UHRIN Vice President/ Chief Financial Officer P RETEND veterans make real veterans mad – and most Americans under- stand their anger. When re- spect must be earned, only au- thentic service to the nation will do. Courage, honor and fortitude shouldn’t be put on like a military surplus uni- form. But imitation being the sin- cerest formof flattery, Richard G. Strandlof, a drifter from Colorado, was a pre- tend veteran. Far frombeinga hero, he had never served in the military. Yet posing as Rick Duncan, a wounded Marine returned fromIraq, he made a name for himself among veterans groups, advocating for their causes. Ac- cording to a recent NewYork Times story, he was able to work his way into the company of prominent politic- ians and veterans. The lie didn’t last. The FBI arrested him and charged him with violating the Stolen Valor Act, a 2006 law that expanded previous prohibitions against wearing unearned military decorations. The act of claim- ing to have won medals be- came a federal crime. Now speech itself was an offense. That, of course, is a problem – and it comes with an irony, because one of the constitu- tional virtues that veterans are said to fight for is freedom of speech. But is lying coveredby the First Amendment? It seems a stretch, but if all lies are going to be a crime, the prisons are going to be even more crowded. Some lies are already illegal – you can’t claimto be a police officer, for example, and you can’t lie to defraud others. But those crimes usually cause practical harm, unlike those al- leged to have been committed by the “Rick Duncans” of the world who just pathetically seek to make themselves look good. In two other prominent cases, one from California and another in Vir- ginia, federal judges split on theconstitution- ality of the Sto- len Valor Act. The charge in Strandlof’s case also was found unconstitution- al, but the prose- cutors appealed and oral argu- ments were held recently in Denver. Perhaps the appeals court’s decision will be a better guide towheth- er the current lawcan survive. Unheroic fakes have cropped up around the coun- try (including allegations in Western Pennsylvania, as the Post-Gazette has reported). As the Stolen Valor Act shouldn’t remotely resemble a Stolen Constitution Act, perhaps it can be revised along the lines being proposed by a Nevada congressmen who would make false military claims a fraud if they benefited the pre- tender. The tin soldiers of deceit shouldn’t be allowed to march on, but a better strategy to stop them ought to be consid- ered. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette OTHER OPINION: MILITARY FAKES Stolen Valor Act requires revision When respect must be earned, only authentic service to the nation will do. Courage, honor and fortitude shouldn’t be put on like a military surplus uniform. C M Y K THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com SUNDAY, JUNE 5, 2011 PAGE 3E ➛ F O R U M AS THE sun rises in the east, the debt ceiling will be raised. Get- ting there, however, will be harrowing. Which is a good thing. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner warns that failure to raise the limit would be disas- trous. In that he is correct. But he is disingenuous when he suggests that we must do so by Aug. 2 or the sky falls. There is no drop-dead date. There is no overnight default. Debt service amounts to about 6 percent of the federal budget and only about 10 percent of federal revenues. This means that for every $1 of interest payments, there are roughly $9 of revenue the government spends elsewhere. Move money around – and you’ve covered the debt ser- vice. Cover the debt service – and there is no default. What scares Geithner is not that we won’t be able to pay our cred- itors but that his Treasury won’t be able to continue spending the obscene amounts of money (about $120 billion a month) it doesn’t have and will (temporarily) be unable to borrow. Good. The government will (temporarily) be forced to establish priorities. A salutary exercise. Equally salutary is the air of crisis that will be generated by the fear of default. We shall have a preview of what hap- pens when we hit the real debt ceiling several years from now, i.e., face real default. That’s our current fiscal trajectory. Under President Obama’s budgets, debt service, now $214 billion a year, climbs to $931 billion in a decade. The current debt-ceiling showdown, therefore, is an instructive dry run of an actual Greek-like default, which awaits if we don’t solve our debt problem. With one difference, of course. During today’s debt- ceiling fight, if the markets start to get jittery, interest rates on U.S. debt spike and the economy begins to teeter, the whole thing can be called off with a push of a button – an act of Congress hiking the debt ceiling. When the real crisis comes, however, there is no button. There is no flight-sim- ulator reset. We default and the economy really does crash. Which is why the current debt-ceiling showdown is to be welcomed. It creates leverage to force fiscal sanity. But it can be a dangerous game. Republican demands must therefore be well-crafted. Fortunately, they are. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McCon- nell is pushing for budget cuts in the next two years. The effect would be real and mul- tiplicative – when you cut the baseline budget, the savings get repeated year after year. Spending caps are more problematic. They have a bale- ful history. Experience shows that Congress can padlock the refrigerator door but as long as Congress can still access the key, the gorging never stops. I would suggest, therefore, enacting spending caps that could be overturned in future years only by supermajority – say, two-thirds of both houses. Now, of course, a future Con- gress could undo this whole scheme by repealing the caps through legislation that would require only a simple majority in both houses. But as long as Republicans maintain the House, they could block this maneuver. The caps would be essentially unrepealable. In this spending-cut tug of war, it is of paramount impor- tance to frame your demands in a way that the public sees as reasonable. The side that can command public opinion will prevail – the other side will ultimately cave for fear of being blamed for whatever disloca- tion occurs. Republicans should not be asking for, say, repeal of “Obamacare” as the quid pro quo for raising the debt limit. These are bridges much too far for these negotia- tions. Which is why House Speaker John Boehner’s offer of a dollar- for-dollar deal – raise the debt ceiling to match corresponding spending cuts – is a thing of beauty. It is eminently logical and easy to understand. In a country with a huge 47 percent to 19 percent plurality opposed to raising the debt ceiling, the Boehner offer is difficult for the president to refuse. After all, it invites Obama to choose how much to cut. For example, $500 billion buys him a $500 billion debt-limit hike – and only a short-term exten- sion. Not wanting to go through this process again, Obama would like a $2 trillion debt- limit hike to get him past Elec- tion Day 2012. For that, he’ll have to come up with $2 tril- lion in spending cuts. It might be blackmail. But it is progress.

W ith so many masks upon your shelf from which to choose, it can take half a day to decide the one to wear. Our advice: Put on a happy face. ANOTHER VIEW A photograph by Pete G. Wilcox and words by Mark E. Jones IT’S THE first question asked when a baby is about to arrive: “Boy or girl?” And in the case of a To- ronto couple, the answer has been, essentially, “Whatever.” Kathy Witterick and David Stocker have decided that their third child, named Storm and born on New Year’s Day, will decide its gender when it is ready. In the meantime, they are keeping it secret, and making their two other children, both boys (at least as far as they’re telling us), keep the secret as well. “If you really want to get to know someone, you don’t ask what’s between their legs,” Stocker told the Toronto Star. Added the mother in an email to that paper: “Please can you just let Storm discover for him/ herself what s(he) wants to be?!” Never mind that the question can be answered with one peek down the diaper. What I don’t get is the motivation. The par- ents, in their late 30s, seem to feel a terrible injustice is done by identifying something that goes back to Adam and Eve, namely, well, whether you’re an Adam or an Eve. “What we noticed is that parents make so many choices for their children,” Stocker told the Star. “It’s obnoxious.” Hmm. Calling a boy a boy is not making a choice for your child. But calling a boy genderless is. I wonder what other choices these folks will leave to the baby. For example, why not let it decide to change its own diaper? Why impose your view? Maybe the kid likes sitting in poo-poo – who are we to judge? Why decide when to do a feeding? Put the bottle on the counter and let the kid go after it. Schooling? The child can decide. Go. Don’t go. Whatever. What’s important, after all, is that parents aren’t “obnoxious” about it. What you have here is a clas- sic case of people saying one thing and causing the opposite. By trying to ignore gender, they have made gender the most important thing. There are now online polls as to whether Storm is a boy or a girl (most say boy), and TV shows and talk shows nationwide have been buzzing with it. Meanwhile, Storm’s two older brothers – Jazz, 5, and Kio, 2 – are being raised without formal schooling and taught to choose whatever behavior they like. Jazz, according to the Star, dresses in pink, paints his nails and wears a stud in his ear. This, we are to believe, is his “choice.” Of course, Mom or Dad made the choice to buy the nail polish, the clothes and the stud. What happens if the child points to a chain saw? They get him that, too? This is all part of a new self- loathing that defines anything traditional as bad, and any deci- sion you might make as “judg- mental” – even to a crying in- fant. I try to imagine telling my parents, when I was in the crib, that they were too judgmental. My father would still be laugh- ing. The Toronto couple believe they are giving their child a “choice” – even though that choice was made by nature and was evident in the first pee-pee. Meanwhile, it seems pretty unfair to tell a 5- and a 2-year- old to keep a secret. Isn’t that imposing something on them? Personally, I am all in favor of a little imposition. It’s time to eat. Time to sleep. Time to stop crying. Time to go to school. Don’t treat others that way. Don’t say rude things. It’s called parenting. If the child, later in life, prefers foot- ball to lipstick, or boxer shorts to dresses, or one day asks a doctor to mangle its private parts in an effort to be some- thing else, it still will be unable to deny that it was born one way. It’s not a judgment. It’s a fact. So is this. When your child asks, “Am I a boy or a girl?” and you answer, “Whatever you want,” you’re not being wise, hip, progressive or nonjudg- mental, you’re just being a fool. Good news! It’s a brand-new baby ... whatever COMMENTARY M I T C H A L B O M Mitch Albom is a columnist for the Detroit Free Press. Readers may write to him at: Detroit Free Press, 600 W.

Candidate hopes to keep support I thank the residents of Prin- gle for voting for me in the primary election. You had confidence that I would be a voice for you. I will not let you down. I am president of our Crime Watch, which I started more than a year ago. There is a rumor that I reported the election workers inside the borough building to the cour- thouse; this is not true in any way. They are workers, not volunteers, and they are paid for that day. The workers should have been concentrat- ing on their work, not watch- ing what was going on out- side. Please consider voting for me in November’s election. Do not listen to any rumors. As you know, there are people who would say derogatory remarks about a person they do not like. I am running for the people of Pringle. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Constance C.

To Democratic and Inde- pendent voters: I plan to earn your confidence over the next several months as I share my vision for a government that serves all the people regard- less of party affiliation. To marginalized voters who feel that they don’t have a voice: I plan to travel the county – from Sweet Valley to Conyngham Valley, from New Columbus to Old Forge, and from the smallest townships to our larger boroughs and cities – in order to meet with you and hear about your area’s needs.

Harry Haas Wilkes-Barre Thanks to backers of Salvation Army W e express our deep and sincere gratitude to Ginny and Bob Tambur and Val and Gus Genetti, honorees at the Salvation Army’s 2011 Community Award Dinner in recognition of their ongoing and tireless efforts to better our communi- ty. We also extend our thanks and appreciation to the nearly 500 friends who attended the dinner in their honor; the Honorable Patrick J. Solano, who served as dinner chair, and his wonderful dinner committee; our major spon- sors (Geisinger, Frank and Dottie Henry, Chuck and Mary Parente, Luzerne Bank, The Times Leader and FOX 56 WOLF-TV); multiple other sponsors and in-kind contrib- utors; and the staff and man- agement of the Genetti Hotel & Conference Center. We are proud to announce that this year’s dinner raised much more than our goal of $100,000 to support the ongo- ing operation of the Salvation Army’s Kirby Health Center Family House in Wilkes-Barre. A transitional housing pro- gram for homeless families with children, it is the only program of its kind in Luzerne County that provides the means to guide homeless families from crisis to stability by giving them the necessary skills and resources for self- sufficiency. We know that achievements such as this in any given com- munity begin with the people who belong to it. We are hum- bled but not surprised by this community’s commitment to giving back. We have been blessed beyond measure by your good deeds, and our lives are all richer because you have given so much. May God bless you and may your heart be filled with the knowledge that others now have hope because you care. Capt. Doug Richwine and Capt.

Specifically, veterans who’ve patrolled Afghanistan’s most dangerous provinces say our troops need next-generation surveillance, reconnaissance, intelligence and communi- cations gear such as the Ar- my’s Brigade Combat Team Modernization system now under development. BCTM would provide troops on pa- trol the ability to share real- time intelligence, including video and photos from recon- naissance robots – highlight- ing, for example, the location of Taliban snipers or alerting all American troops in the area to a potential roadside bomb. Sadly, Congress seems poised to cut the funding for this life-saving technology by drastically cutting the defense budget, recalling the fatal failure to provide adequate body armor to soldiers in Iraq. U.S. troops in Afghanistan will continue to face a hostile and elusive enemy in the Taliban, who fight with am- bushes and hidden explosives rather than by conventional means. To win and survive, our soldiers need tools appro- priate to the task. Anthony T. Hawkins National coordinator Congressional Black Caucus Veterans Braintrust Washington, D.C. Student protests Pa. budget cuts D ue to Gov. Tom Corbett’s proposed budget cuts, local school districts are forced to make cuts of their own. I understand that diffi- cult decisions have to be made, but taking art out of public schools should not be one of them. Not every student wants to be a teacher, mathematician, journalist or nurse. While those students with conven- tional aspirations are able to take classes that will prepare them for life after graduation, school districts are not of- fering the same opportunity to students who want to go into a creative field. These cuts, specifically the cuts at Hanov- er Area School District, are affecting my future and the future of many others.

Shawna Rabbas Hanover Township Reader believes Blaum off target I n Kevin Blaum’s recent commentary “GOP should keep hands off our Medi- care,” May 29), he seemingly attacked Republican Congress- men Lou Barletta and Tom Marino for working toward a solution to Medicare’s prob- lems. Mr. Blaum glosses over the simple fact that Medicare is taking on water and sinking fast. His approach of “keeping your hands off Medicare” will result in its insolvency by 2024. The Medicare trustees confirmed that in early May. The Democrats have not pro- posed a single serious solution to keep Medicare solvent, and they apparently have no in- tention to. Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid confirmed as much in a late May press conference. The Republicans are propos- ing solutions. Whether or not you like their proposals, they are at least making them. If Mr. Blaum is truly concerned about Medicare, he should have focused his opinion co- lumn on calling out the do- nothing Democrats for being content with “Mediscaring” seniors instead of proposing a bill of their own to preserve Medicare. Mary Ann Haas Scranton W-B man seeking crash witnesses B etween 2:30 and 3 p.m. May 13 (a Friday), an accident occurred at the traffic light in front of Sheetz on Wilkes-Barre Township Boulevard. My father-in-law was driving my purple Dodge 1997 Intrep- id. He was turning left on a green arrow into the Sheetz parking lot when a man in a Dodge 2005 Ram truck, tow- ing a trailer, smashed into the rear of my car. The driver in the truck was in the non- turning lane, apparently speeding and not paying atten- tion. We need anyone who wit- nessed this accident to come forward and call me. My father-in-law was not alone in the car. His passenger was my 24-year-old stepdaugh- ter, and she was injured. My car was “totaled,” but the Ram had very little damage.

This recipient was my daughter, Erin E. Clemens. She received the honor in 2007, during her senior year at Berwick Area High School, in the category of “Service to the Community.” This is an honor that she, as well as her father and I, were very proud of then and still are four years later. Since receiving this award and graduating from high school, Erin has continued to provide “Service to the Com- munity.” She completed pre- pharmacy at Wilkes University in Wilkes-Barre and is a phar- macy student at Shenandoah University in Winchester, Va. In August 2007, Erin went on her first mission trip to Honduras. This is a weeklong mission during which the team ministers medically, physically and spiritually to the Honduran people. This trip costs more than $1,500 per team member, and the cost is the responsibility of the team member. I say her “first trip,” as she has gone each year since and is preparing to depart again Aug. 6. In January of this year, Erin spent one week of her winter college break on a mission trip to Mississippi to help re-build a Hurricane Katrina-ravaged area – paying $450 to cover the cost of being part of this team. She also has volun- teered at a camp for children with cancer. Erin also is active at Shenandoah University, helping to raise funds for the Make-A-Wish Foundation and for breast cancer research. I just wanted to say that “Service to the Community” was not something Erin did only during her high school years to try to earn scholar- ships; but, as it was then, it continues to be a vital part of her life. During the four years since her graduation, Erin has continued to be very involved in her “hometown communi- ty” (Berwick area) as well as to her “college communities” (both Wilkes and Shenan- doah).

We have illegal immigrants coming into this country, getting college educations, starting businesses and beat- ing the system and the govern- ment out of taxes. Meanwhile, Congress wants to lower the deficit by going after the middle class, retirees, disabled veterans, the poor and needy by eliminating Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, education and so- cial programs and COLA for retirees. You bailed out corporations and those greedy individuals on Wall Street. Why did our government and Congress let this happen? Bailout money should aid taxpayers facing unemployment, the loss of their homes or the high cost of living. How about paying back the IOUs in Social Security that our president and Congress borrowed over the years? This was money paid by working people for retirement, and Congress over the years failed to pay it back. Could you call this embezzlement? It seems our government is just as bad as these corporations and CEOs. We have a problem, and it seems we need a stimulus plan to bring us on solid ground. By the same token, Congress must lay down the law to the fat cats and lobby- ists who got us into this mess. Government took prayer out of schools, out of public buildings and out of our lives. Our U.S. currency says “In God We Trust.” I believe it is in money we trust. How could God bless Amer- ica given the way we act? Charles Urban Kingston Resident decries Crestwood cuts I am a proud parent and educator, and a resident of Mountain Top. A few years ago, my wife and I made a conscious decision to buy a home in Mountain Top. One of the main reasons we chose to live here was because we believed that Crestwood Area was a progressive school dis- trict and one of the best in the area. I find the recent actions of the Crestwood school district sickening and disheartening. I believe the school board has proposed the wrong decision to furlough teachers, cut full- time kindergarten and elim- inate sports, language and music at the middle school level. The furlough of teachers will only increase the class sizes in our already crowded schools. As a teacher, I firmly believe you can devote more attention to your students if you have a reasonable class size to manage. The cutting of the full-time kindergarten program puts a heavy financial burden on parents who will have to make arrangements for their chil- dren during the day. I would rather have a reasonable tax increase than spend another year’s worth of money on daycare. Taking away full-time kindergarten also will take away a half of a school year’s worth of education from the children by giving them a watered-down curriculum. During my master’s degree studies, I studied brain cogni- tion and brain-based learning. It is proven that physical activ- ity and the participation in the arts and music enhances the learning process. Please ask yourselves, what will these children, who were involved in extracurricular middle school activities now do with all of their time? I have been around middle school and high school students as a teacher for 13 years and as a football coach for 10 years. Getting children involved in sports and extra- curricular activities will help keep them focused, driven and out of trouble. I understand perfectly well that Gov. Tom Corbett left a terrible hardship on our local- ities. One of his campaign promises was to not raise taxes. So what is he doing? He is not asking the gas drilling companies for funds, is he? No, instead he wants tax- payers to pay. He has pro- posed cuts to several pro- grams, grants and educational funding, which leaves all of the burden and difficult deci- sion-making to our Pennsylva- nia localities. I feel that there are alterna- tives to the proposed cuts that Crestwood School Board intends to make. Think about the future of our children and the effect that these cuts will have on them. I know I am. Thomas Stavitzski Jr. Wright Township Mundy’s welfare stance questioned I challenge state Rep. Phyllis Mundy on a recently letter to the editor she wrote (“Mundy clarifies vote on welfare,” April 24). She ques- tioned the validity of state Rep. Tarah Toohil’s bill to address welfare fraud. Specifi- cally, Mundy stated that she’s willing to address welfare fraud. I disagree. To begin, the welfare sys- tem, as a way of redistributing wealth, is the fault of Demo- cratic lawmakers. This has been the campaign promise of Democrats in the name of the poor and disenfranchised, and it seems everyone who sup- ports these welfare programs votes exclusively Democratic. The Republicans always promise to address it, but they lie. This is because they sup- port welfare for the rich and cannot credibly address wel- fare from the opposite end of the spectrum. No one in Harrisburg is ignorant regarding welfare programs in this common- wealth. There is no desire to eliminate welfare as it exists from either end of the spec- trum, since politicians from both parties survive by its existence. Ms. Mundy does not try to stop this. Between my wife and I, we have at least 28 years (com- bined) working with welfare recipients. This includes work for the federal government, the Department of Public Welfare and the Department of Corrections. We have opened our home and our wallets to numerous individu- als who were in need. While there are individuals in need of a safety net (my own mother being one of them, at a point in time), the entire system is supporting a population of substance abus- ers who have no intention to be anything more. The stories I could tell would fill a book. The fact is, most people who work in the welfare system also know this is going on. I have heard many of them relate to me the fraud and abuse they know goes on. They also relate how they are told to keep quiet about it. I have a challenge for Ms. Mundy. If you believe Rep. Toohil’s bill is wrong, let’s have a public meeting on it. Let’s open this discussion up for any state employee, with- out fear of reprisal, to share with the public any concerns they have about fraud and abuse in the system. This matter can be openly debated by taxpayers whose paychecks support the drug users and sluggards. This is a far better idea than the propa- ganda put out by politicians trying to avoid being held accountable for the results their policies have had. Joseph Martin Berwick Voter says no to more tax breaks A ccording to an article in The Times Leader (May 17), U.S. Rep. Tom Marino said in a town hall meeting that the debt that we are in did not happen overnight, meaning in the last five to 10 years. “This is 40 years that we have been spending be- yond our means,” he said. Well, he’s partly right. Go back to the Reagan years and you’ll find the tax breaks for the rich, not the spending, was what started the debt to go up and go crazy. Look it up; it’s true. Every- thing went downhill: jobs, wages, union jobs – and the rich didn’t reinvest in their companies any more for tax breaks, they just kept the money. President Clinton came in and raised the taxes on the rich, created 22 million jobs, balanced the budget – and the economy went up. But when President Bush came in, he lowered the tax on the rich, started two unfunded wars, deregulated the banks, didn’t create any new jobs in eight years and gave the seniors an expensive, unfunded drug plan. Now the Republicans blame President Obama for the def- icit. Get real, America. In what America is it that you take food out of a baby’s mouth so that you can give more tax breaks to the rich? Not my America. The Repub- licans won’t vote for anything that is against the rich. They blocked everything the Demo- crats tried to do and then tell you the Democrats don’t know how to govern. The working class better wake up and quit complaining about too much government. We got bin Laden, not the Republicans.

It con- frontedcultural andsocial taboos and rewrote the book on political activism. But even as 7,000 people around the world become infect- edwithHIVeachday, experts say Americans who never knew the terror of AIDS’ early days have become complacent about pre- vention due to life-extending drug therapies that allowHIVpa- tients to live relatively normal lives. “There has been incredible progress over the last 30 years, but we’re still in the thick of a ma- jor public healthcrisis, andunfor- tunately the sense of crisis in this country has waned,” said Dr. Ri- chard Wolitski, deputy director for behavioral and social science in CDC’s Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention. “Today’s young peo- ple have never known a time without effective HIV treatment, and we’re asking them to act against a threat that seems re- mote, but is still very real.” One in five people in the U.S. with HIV doesn’t even know it, which helps explain why a third of new HIV cases are revealed in the later stages, often within a year of developing full-blown AIDS. Unlikethegeneralizedepidem- ics that have ravaged poorer countries, the U.S. has a “series of concentrated epidemics,” among certain demographic groups and in certain areas of the country, said Jeffrey Crowley, director of the White House Office of Na- tional AIDS Policy. For example, the District of Columbia’s 3 per- cent HIV infection rate is one of the highest in the nation and ri- vals that of poor developing countries. Nationally, some 56,000 Amer- icans are infected each year with the HIV virus and nearly half are African-American — blacks also make up about half the nation’s AIDS and HIV patients, Wolitski said. Men who have sex with men account for more than half of the nation’s new infections — and they’re the only at-risk group ex- periencing rising numbers of in- fections. “This is extremely concern- ing,” Wolitski said. “We’re now seeingnumbers of newinfections among men who have sex with menthat are higher thanthe ones that we saw at the end of the 1980s.” A series of medical break- throughs inthe mid-1980s helped stabilize and slow the spread of the disease. As new modes of transmission were discovered, new guidelines to halt transmis- sion were announced, followed bythefirst anti-HIVdrug, AZT, in 1986. One of the biggest break- throughs in the fight against AIDS came in1985 when the first practical bloodtest for theHIVvi- rus became available. Robert Gal- lo and his team of researchers at the National Institutes of Health developed the blood test in 1984 after they co-discovered HIV in 1983. Gallo, who now directs the In- stitute of Human Virology at the University of Maryland, recalled meeting Curran in a Bethesda, Md., restaurant in March 1984 to see if the blood test had correctly spotted the virus in dozens of blood samples taken from both infected and healthy people. “I walked out of there smiling that day,” Gallo said, recalling how the test correctly identified each infected sample. “This test was, as I like to say, simple, sensi- tive, very specific and rapid.” The AIDS antibody test would protect patients worldwide from getting contaminated blood dur- ing transfusions and allow re- searchers to better track how the virus spread. “It’s the singular most impor- tant advancement in the history of the field,” Gallo said. Gallo, Curran and others are working to develop an HIV vac- cine, and progress is being made. “We have scientific evidence that a safe and effective HIV vac- cine is possible,” saida statement by Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, the di- rector of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at NIH. A 2009 clinical drug trial in Thailand showed for the first time ever that a vaccine could stop HIV infections in a modest share of participants. HIV re- searchers are studying blood samples fromthetrial toseewhat made it successful andwhether it can be made more effective. Scientists funded by NIH are also trying to design HIV vac- cines based on the “protein struc- ture of the surface spikes that HIV uses to attach to and infect human cells with the virus,” Fau- ci’s statement said. Parts of the spikes are vulnerable to antibod- ies that have beenshowntoblock human cell infection by more than 90 percent of HIV strains worldwide. “Now the scientists are map- pinga strategy tocreate a vaccine that can stimulate a healthy per- son to make such broadly neutra- lizing antibodies,” Fauci said.

His approach meets the terms of a tax pledge signed by more than 230 GOP House members and 41 Republican senators. In signing the pledge, sponsored by Americans for Tax Reform, a con- servative lobby, lawmakers agree to fight any efforts to cut or elim- inate tax breaks unless they’re matched by identical cuts in the tax rate — which is exactly what the Obama plan calls for. But McIntyre and his fellow liberal tax activists don’t like it. They question why savings from a reduction in corporate tax sub- sidies should go right back to businesses in the form of a tax cut. Shouldn’t some, even most, of the billions in new revenue go toward reducing the deficit, they ask? After all, that would provide some relief to ordinary citizens who otherwise will bear most of the deficit-reduction burden through cuts in government ser- vices. Business lobbyists see things differently. Caroline Harris, chief taxcoun- sel for the U.S. Chamber of Com- merce, said the federal deficit is due to overspending, not under- taxing (although that’s highly de- batable, as statistics show the overall federal tax burden is well below historical norms.) “If you have a spending prob- lem, youneedtofixit withspend- ing cuts,” Harris said. “If Con- gress can’t show fiscal austerity and make spending cuts, then taxing or putting the weight of deficit reduction on the backs of businesses that create jobs is not a good idea.” Republicans in Congress agree. However, an April Gallup poll found that 2 out of 3 Amer- icans think corporations pay too little in taxes, while only 1 in 5 said businesses pay their fair share. In a letter to Congress, McIn- tyre’s group and a host of labor andliberal allies saythat lawmak- ers, in their zeal to cut the federal budget, have ignored corporate tax subsidies, which deny the Treasury revenues and thus in- crease budget deficits the same as direct program spending. Why, they ask, aren’t those breaks on the table in all the def- icit-reduction talks? The 10 largest corporate tax breaks will cost the federal gov- ernment more than $351 billion from 2010 to 2014, according to the nonpartisanJoint Committee on Taxation. “It makes no sense for Con- gress to debate cuts in public ser- vices that working families rely on while ignoring the public spending that benefits corpora- tions and is hidden in the tax code,” the letter reads. “We stronglybelievemost, if not all, of the revenue saved from eliminat- ing corporate tax subsidies should go toward deficit reduc- tion and toward creating the healthy, educated workforce and sound infrastructure that will make our nation more competi- tive.” The sentiment has struck a note with liberal lawmakers such as Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., who says it’s time for revenue- raising tax overhauls. “It’s an opportunity to put into place some fair tax policies that, in fact, produce revenue fromthe richest people inthis country and the richest corporations that should be paying,” Boxer said. But getting any kind of tax- code clean-up through Congress is never easy, andintoday’s polar- izedpolitics, it’s harder thanever. Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon and former Republican Sen. Judd Gregg of New Hamp- shire sponsored the Bipartisan Tax Fairness and Simplification Act of 2010. It would have cou- pled a corporate tax cut with the rollback of tax breaks for individ- uals and corporations. The measure died in commit- tee. Until more details of Obama’s tax plan are released, it’s unclear how much support it could re- ceive from Republicans and the corporate sector. What is clear is that there’s lit- tle chance of passing legislation aimedat increasingcorporate tax revenue, said Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Con- rad, D-N.D. “It’s very hard to be revenue- neutral and reduce the (tax) rate, so going even further than that is a hard thing to do,” Conrad said. “Hard in terms of the substance. Hard in terms of the politics. Hard to do.” Even McIntyre concedes that the fight will probably take sever- al years. For inspiration, he re- members the years of work it took to pass the 1986 tax over- haul under President Ronald Re- agan, a Democratic House and a Republican Senate. “It was kind of a miracle, and the stars had to be aligned. But we can do it again,” McIntyre said. TAXES Continued from Page 1E MCT PHOTO Even McIntyre concedes that the fight will probably take several years.

That’s when he ran against and beat Hight- ower. In 1998, he won the Repub- lican nomination for lieutenant governor, which in the govern- mental hierarchy of Texas is an important and influential posi- tion. His opponent was a pop- ular Democrat, John Sharp, who resigned as state comp- troller to run for lieutenant governor. Perry surprised everyone, beating Sharp and a Libertarian opponent, with 50.05 percent of the vote. The rest would be history, if that were the end of the story — but it is not. He succeeded then-Gov. George W. Bush when Bush decided to run for presi- dent. Perry went on to be elect- ed governor in his own right and is now the longest-serving governor in Texas history. In his most recent election, just last year, Perry faced a primary challenge from Kay Bailey Hutchison, who had established a nationwide reputa- tion and political following as a U.S. senator. Hutchison gar- nered support from some pow- erful allies, including former Vice President Dick Cheney, real estate developer Ross Perot Jr. and a Who’s Who list of Dallas-area movers and shakers who provided her with support, advice and — most important — cash. Hutchison was at one time thought to be a near shoo-in. Make that “shoo-out.” Perry prevailed in the primary and was re-elected as governor. My inclination would be to suggest that Perry is not likely to run for president and that, even if he does, he’s not likely to win. But I don’t dare make such a suggestion.

Worldwide funding for AIDS programming increased from$1.6 billion in 2001to nearly $16 billion in 2009, according to UNAIDS, the Joint United Na- tions Program on HIV/AIDS. The extra money has provided results. According to the World Health Organization, AIDS-relat- ed deaths fell 19 percent from 2004 to 2009, while new HIV in- fections have fallen 19 percent worldwide over the last decade. And with the falling cost of an- tiretroviral medications, poorer countries can nowprovide a year of drug therapy for about $137. The price break helped more than 5 million patients in low- and middle-income nations get AIDS medications in 2009, com- pared with 400,000 in 2003.

Ready to take the lead By AMY KAUFMAN Los Angeles Times See MCCARTHY, Page 4F W ith the Lady Gaga market reaching oversatura- tion, it’s easy to get a sense of fatigue when listening to her latest effort, “Born This Way,” re- leased by Interscope. Delivering her third studio album in just a three-year span after a nonstop juggernaut that included a seem- ingly endless tour, hit after hit, countless magazine covers and even social activism, another Gaga offering is a little bit tiring to those who aren’t part of her army of “little monsters.” It doesn’t help that the standard edition of the album is 17 full-length tracks, clocking in at a little more than two hours. A little less than a third of the way through, a “what — there’s more?” feeling starts to sink in, and finishing the album seems to be a daunting task. But “Born This Way” de- serves that listen — again and again and again. Though there are a few songs that miss the mark — the Madonna-rip-off title track, for example — over- all, the album, like Gaga, is hard to get out of your con- scious. “I could be girl/ unless you want to be man/ I could be sex/ unless you want to hold hands/ I could be any- thing/ I could be every- thing,” coos Gaga on “Gov- ernment Hooker,” a wicked electro-groove that manages to be more naughty than Ri- hanna’s “S&M” without be- ing as explicit. It’s just part of the provocation — both sexual and religious — that Gaga uses to push buttons throughout the album. Though there are song ti- tles like “Bloody Mary,” “Ju- das” and “Electric Chapel,” and lyrics tweak conserva- tive mindsets, at its core, “Born This Way” is mostly an album about themes that have been written about from the beginning of pop music — love, lust and ac- ceptance. “Americano,” with its flamenco-inspired melody, is a love song — it just hap- pens to be about two wom- en. “We can marry, on the West Coast, on a Wednes- Gaga delivers the goods on new album AP PHOTO Lady Gaga’s newest CD, ’Born This Way,’ was recently released.

You’ll give a personal- ized glimpse of your life to one who doesn’t know you very well. In doing so, you’ll provide a very good reason for this person to want to know you better. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re funny, and your wit will encourage others around you to be funny, as well. You’re good for the morale of a group, as long as you direct your humor in a harmless way. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Usually, you try to make your needs fit nicely into the matrix of everyone else’s needs. Not today. That would be too com- plicated, and you’re just not in the mood. You’ll do exactly as you please. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have a way of sug- gesting things without directly stating them. This is quite helpful now as you test the waters of a rela- tionship. You’ll dig around and discover the true intentions of others. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Slow and steady is not usually your style. You’d much rather wave a magic wand so that you can experience instantaneous results. And with the magic of technol- ogy, you may get your wish today! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You have a certain system in place to help others learn how to treat you, though you may not realize what it is. You’ll be objective now. You’ll work out the flow of how you want others to behave when they enter your world. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Problem solving is a strength of yours, and you have a secret trick that makes you amazing in this regard: You seldom wait for something to become a problem before you handle it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You might have forgot- ten exactly what you told someone, but the other person hasn’t forgotten at all. So ask a few questions, and make sure everyone is on the same page. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have absolutely zero proof that you can succeed in a certain realm. Yet you feel deep down in your being that you can and will do whatever it takes to make it happen. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You treated someone well, and now it’s your turn to be on the receiving end. And if it doesn’t happen, note your tendency to give too much to certain peo- ple. It’s better to dedicate your energy where it will be appreciated. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). “Easy does it” is a phrase that applies well now. The difficult route is not going to get you there at all, so there’s no glory in taking it. Go the easy way, and you’ll reach your destination. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It’s nice to have friends in powerful places. And you’re careful not to brag about this because you don’t want to tempt others to take advantage of your connections. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 5). You have reached a level of wisdom that allows you to live in harmony. You’ll invest your time in a relationship that pays you back in more joy than you knew was possible. You’ll get hot tips and excellent advice in July. There’s an addition to your family in September. In April, you’ll be tested and will do very well. Aquarius and Pisces people are your admirers.

DEAR ABBY Breadwinner is out of patience for her family Dear Abby: I’m running out of energy to compas- sionately relate with all the ad- dicts and mentally ill people in my family. My mother is an alcoholic. My aunt is bi- polar and schizophrenic. She is addicted to and abusing prescription painkillers and anti-anxiety medicines. My husband is an alcohol- ic in denial who lies about his alcohol consumption, and my stepmother is men- tally abusive and, I suspect, also bipolar. These people are all retired, while I work a physically and mentally de- manding full-time job. I’m usually the one who is blamed when things don’t go right. Mother asked me to remove all alcohol from her home so she could stop drinking. When I didn’t find it all, it was MY fault she drank. I escorted my aunt on a cruise during which she abused drugs to the point she could barely walk, and I had to find her wheelchairs at every stop. Now I hear she is blaming me for her illness. When my husband drinks, he runs up our credit card to the tune of $20,000. My job with medical benefits allowed him to retire from his job. I’m exhausted! I don’t think I can take much more. I know you’ll tell me to see a counselor, but I’m the one who has the full-time job and little vacation/sick time I can use. Short of “divorc- ing” all of them and starting a new life in an undisclosed location, what advice can you offer? — Nearly Sucked Dry Dear Nearly: Since you can’t get away to see a counselor because of the demands of your job, pick up a couple of books on co-dependency and read them cover-to-cover. Then practice protecting yourself by learning to say “No!” when an alcoholic makes you responsible for clearing the booze out of her house, or a drug-addicted relative invites you to take a “vacation” that guarantees you’ll become her nurse.

McCarthy, who grew up in Illi- nois, said she based Megan on women she encountered there, later developing the archetype at Los Angeles-basedimprovisation- al comedy troupe the Groun- dlings. “There’s just something about that no-nonsense Midwestern womanina sensibleshoethat I re- ally love,” McCarthy said. “I like having specificity in a character. In the movie, I had long acrylic nails with French tips. I like strange little unexpected things, because if you start to pull those together, youhaveareallyspecific interesting character as opposed to a caricature.” That was the draw for Wiig, who suggested McCarthy to “Bri- desmaids” director Paul Feig and Apatow, both of whom had con- sidered writing Megan out of the script because they couldn’t find the right actress for the role. McCarthy commits to creating a recognizable person out of a broadlydrawncharacter“andnev- er going out of it. You think, ‘Oh, yeah, that’s howthis person really acts,’ ” said Wiig, a former Groun- dlings member herself, who co- wrote the screenplay with Annie Mumolo. But “Megan is a tad ag- gressive, where Melissa has a soft- spoken energy.” “Megan was a total dark horse at the end of the process,” Feig re- called. “We’d seen a lot of people, anddidn’t feel likewehadit. Then Kristen and Annie were like, ‘We have this friend from the Groun- dlings, and people line up around the block when she performs.”’ McCarthy did cultivate a fer- vent fan base during her years at the L.A. comedy venue. She joined the troupe in 1997 after movingfromNewYorktoLos An- geles inthehopes of workinginlo- cal theater. “I spent seven or eight years in New York doing very dramatic plays, and I thought theater in L.A. would be amazing,” she said, rolling her eyes. “Then I got here, and my sister sent me a little arti- cle on the Groundlings. I didn’t know where else to go, so I went, and I saw Kathy Griffin and all of these kind of amazing people. It blew my head off. I couldn’t get over that they were making it all up andthat they were that funny.” She spent the next 14 years at the local haunt, retiring only re- cently to focus on her sitcom “Mike & Molly,” which was just pickedupfor another season. The series, which premiered last Sep- tember, initially earned attention withits premiseabout aheftycou- ple whomeet at Overeaters Anon- ymous. Marie Claire writer Maura Kel- ly claimed on the magazine’s web- site that she would be “grossed out if (she) hadtowatchtwochar- acters with rolls and rolls of fat kissing each other.” But McCar- thy believes that critics have since beenabletomovepast theissueof the characters’ weight. “I guess I was expecting it be- cause people love to make a thing out of everything,” she said. “We always said, if people are still talk- ing about weight at the end of the season, we’d be in trouble. But they’re not, so we’re on the right track.” Apatow said he thinks the pro- gram’s success proves that audi- ences respond well to the actress. “She’s one of the most likable people I’ve seen on screen,” the filmmaker said. “Before she even speaks, you get the sense that she’s just really nice.” McCarthy’s future in movies, meanwhile, is already shifting in- to high gear — recently, she and Mumolo sold a script to Para- mount Pictures about a group of Midwestern women who set out to steal the Stanley Cup. And this time, McCarthy will play the lead.

I am my hair,” she declares on the pop-rock groove, which sounds as if it could have emerged from the sound- track to a 1980s teen flick. Much of the music veers from pulsating dance grooves and the retro rock that Gaga showcased on “Fame Monster.” The al- bum’s best track —“You and I” — sounds as if it could be the companion to “Speech- less,” another ballad similar- ly anchored by dominating piano chords. Gaga, who co-wrote every tune on the record and again worked with collaborators such as RedOne and Fernan- do Garibay, doesn’t show particular musical growth but establishes a consistency of strong material through- out most of the disc. Lyrical- ly, at times she still perplex- es — the whirring “ScheiBe” starts off with German then segues into a female-empo- werment anthem — but it’s those bizarre moments that are part of the Gaga-intrigue. “Born This Way” needs a bit more editing. A smatter- ing of tracks, like “Bad Kids” or “Black Jesus,” could have been left off for a tighter disc. But it doesn’t take away from its strength, and over- all, it’s an album that should add to Gaga’s growing status as this generation’s cultural icon.

Most of a star from Jackson’s secessionist flag, still stained with Ellsworth’s blood, is on display, along with the “O” from the Marshall House sign, one of the many pieces of the structure torn off the building by souve- nir-hunting Union soldiers seek- ing a momento from the spot where Ellsworth was slain. “Col. Elmer Ellsworth and The Marshall House Incident” can be seen through February 2012 at the Fort Ward Museum & Historic Site. NEW YORK STATE MILI- TARY MUSEUM: The Empire State’s repository for its mili- tary heritage is located in Sara- toga Springs, just north of Mal- ta, the town where Ellsworth was born in1837. The museum’s collection includes the uniform coat Ellsworth was wearing when Jackson fired a shotgun into his chest as the 24-year-old officer descended the stairs leading to the Marshall House’s roof. The coat, still showing the hole where the slug entered, is on display, along with one of Ellsworth’s swords and a Zouave drill manual. Jackson’s flag — originally 14 feet by 24 feet — is among the museum’s collection of more than 800 Civil War battle flags, the largest state collection in the nation. Large swaths of the banner were cut up for souve- nirs after Ellsworth’s death; about 55 percent of the original flag survives. One of several large stars on Jackson’s flag was removed and saved by Ells- worth’s uncle, who later donat- ed the item to a local Civil War veterans group. The neighbor- ing Town of Saratoga came into possession of the star, which was donated to the museum in August 2006, reuniting it with the flag for the first time in more than 140 years. The flag is being worked on by the state’s flag conservators and is scheduled go on display July12 as part of a Civil War bat- tle flags exhibit at the state Cap- itol in Albany. Ellsworth’s death devastated Lincoln, who had his protégé’s funeral held in the White House before the body was sent north, where it lay in state in NewYork City and Albany before being buried in nearby Mechanicville, where Ellsworth grew up. On a rainy Sunday morning earlier in May, more than 50 Civil War re-enactors joined about 250 spectators for a re-en- actment of Ellsworth’s funeral at Hudson View Cemetery. Signs lead visitors to his grave, located in the Ellsworth family plot ringed by a wrought-iron fence. The Ellsworth coat and Jack- son flag are part of the collec- tion of the New York State Mil- itary Museum.

Just read a consistently amusing but quite serious book by a woman known as one of Britain’s leading broadcast comedians. Thenjust quote. Author Natalie Haynes was struckinher preteens witha crush on the old accounts. She pursued aneducationinclassical languages and literature that took her through Cambridge University. That’s a better way to become ex- pert. It enables “The Ancient GuidetoModernLife”tocoverhis- tory fromthe oldest known Greek philosophers to the collapse of the Romanempire. When she was 12, Haynes was touched by the story of a couple who enjoyed their house and gar- den in Pompeii. The couple didn’t know — as Natalie knew — what the eruption of Mount Vesuvius inA.D. 79would dotoall of them. When she read Virgil’s “The Aeneid,” she was hit by another emo- tion: indigna- tion. Today’s stories for children about the Trojan horse might have beenjudgedbyTrojaneyesasover- simplifiedandunfair. They weren’t stupid about the big wooden carving loaded with Greek soldiers that they took into their city. To them, sneaky Greeks andsupernatural monsters sent by Greek gods were just too much for their kindnatures. “I wasashookedasthepoor Tro- jans,” she writes. Describing an ancient event in today’s terms brings it to life and clarifies new thought that the de- scriptionmay inspire. She complains of today’s world wheresomanypeoplerefusetoac- knowledge anything but the pre- sent. Soherbookcompilessomeof what sheconsiders thebest stories of the ancient world, stories about people much like ourselves, from whom we may have something to learn. “Myths are debunked — Julius Caesar’s last words weren’t ‘Et tu, Brute?”’ shewrites. That’sLatinfor “Youtoo, Brutus?” That’s debatable but worth de- bating. She finds one ancient source, knownfor gossip, whosug- gestedthat Caesar’s words, as con- spirators plunged their daggers in- to him, were not Latin but Greek. The Greekwords translate as “You too, child?” A possible explanation: Caesar was known to have a long-termre- lationship with a married woman, and she had a son named Marcus Junius Brutus. Caesar might have been the fa- ther. Why the Greek language? The author doesn’t explain. Many edu- cated Romans spoke Greek. But maybe Caesar’s last thought was that the less educatedinthe crowd would miss the implied insult to the lady and her young son if he avoided identifying them in the language they understood. British comedian reinterprets ancient events to reflect modern-day life By CARL HARTMAN For The Associated Press “The Ancient Guide to Modern Life” (The Overlook Press), by Natalie Haynes: A bracing return for Alex McKnight Although it was 2006 when Steve Hamilton last published an Alex McKnight novel, the author hits the ground running in his ex- cellent eighth thriller about his reluctant private investigator from upper Michigan. Despite the five-year lag, Ha- milton doesn’t miss a beat in re- establishing Alex as a sturdy, complex character more than ca- pable of carrying a series. At the same time, Hamilton makes his character seem fresh and new — as if we nev- er met Alex before — with an in- volving and emotionally charged plot that skirts the edge of noir. “Misery Bay” showcases Hamil- ton’s dark vision and his talents as a sturdy plotter. Although Alex McKnight has been missing in ac- tion for a few years, Hamilton hasn’t exactly been idle. His 2010 “The Lock Artist” recently won the 2010 Edgar Award. “Misery Bay” is as bracing and challenging as the cold wind that blows off Lake Superior. “Misery Bay” works equally well as a pri- vate eye tale, a police procedural and a character study. As the en- grossing novel develops, Alex learns that sometimes minor inci- dents have major consequences. Alex is as Hamilton last left him. He’s getting over a tragedy, tending to those visitors who rent cabins from him in the ironically named Paradise, Mich., and spending his nights drinking at his local pub run by his friend, Jackie. Alex is there at the Glasgow Inn one cold night when his least fa- vorite person, Sault Ste. Marie po- lice chief Roy Maven, shows up asking him to help a friend. Put- ting aside his feelings, Alex, him- self a former cop, agrees to meet with Roy’s friend, U.S. Marshal Charles “Raz” Razniewski. Raz wants Alex to find out what drove his only son to recently commit suicide in an isolated area near Misery Bay. But Alex uncovers an insidious pattern of crimes that targets former marshals and their grown children. The reluctantly growing friend- ship between Alex and Roy be- comes a cornerstone of the plot as the two men put aside their differ- ences for a greater good. Hamilton’s view of the harsh, bleak landscape of winter in Mi- chigan’s Upper Peninsula will have readers grabbing their coats and gloves as the frigid air seems to seep through the pages. “Misery Bay” is like a visit with an old friend with whom you can’t wait to catch up. A bracing return for a famed character By OLINE H. COGDILL Sun Sentinel “Misery Bay” by Steve Hamilton; Minotaur (304 pages, $24.99) T he first album I fell in love with was Simon and Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Wa- ter.” I was about 7 years old; the albumhad beenout for eight years. I didn’t knowit would be their last album, and I wouldn’t have cared. Onlythemusicmatteredto me. It would be much later that I wouldacquireaninterest inmusi- cians as actual people withactual lives and turn to journalists and chroniclerstotellmetheirstories. DavidBrowne’s “FireandRain: TheBeatles, Simon&Garfunkel, JamesTaylor, CSNY, andtheLost Storyof1970”isaworthyaddition toanyone’s collectionof suchmu- sic histories. As the account of a single year in music, Browne weaves the narratives of four bands and artists who each re- leasedanalbumof lastinginfluen- ce in 1970: The Beatles’ “Let It Be;” Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young’s “Déjàvu;” James Taylor’s “Sweet Baby James;” and my fa- vorite, Simon and Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over TroubledWater.” What emerges is a scrutiny of asignificant yearof transition— the ’60s counterculture is rapid- ly receding inthe country’s rear- view mirror, the singer-song- writer focus of the’70s has yet to take hold — that holds its own against any other year in terms of its dramatic tensions and cre- ative output, not to mention in- creasingly traumatic national events liketheshootings at Kent State Universityandthe govern- ment’s response to a series of bombings perpetrated by radi- cal fringe anti-war groups. The one problem with orga- nizingsuchadetailedaccount is there tends not to be extreme personal changes over the course of a single year. Bands that are fighting in February are still fighting in November and over pretty much the same things. But thenuancedaccount of thestruggles inherent inmak- ing music is more than enough to satisfy, as are the delightful surprise connections and asides scattered throughout the book. Browne’s detailing of Simon and Garfunkel’s dissolution is poignant, andwhilethesections about CSNY verge on tabloid gossip, I couldn’t helpbut beriv- etedbytheaccount of thisgroup of immensely talented people who also, when they weren’t at eachother’sthroats, seemedlike they’d be cool to hang out with.

Waymart, PA Senior Vacations - Close To Home and Easy On Your Wallet A LEXANDRIA, Va. — Col. Elmer Ellsworth never stepped foot in Fort Ward, but a lock of his hair and his uniform cap have made it here to the grounds of one of the dozens of Union strongholds built around the Washington, D.C., area after the outbreak of the Civil War. Ellsworth was the first Union officer killed in the conflict. His death on May 24, 1861, while removing a flag from the top of the Marshall House hotel in Alexandria caused a sen- sation throughout the nation, prompting thousands of men across the northern states to enlist for the Union cause and go to war against the South. He was made a martyr in the North, and his image appeared on stationery, sheet music, pottery and memorial lithographs throughout the war. Although Ellsworth’s death preceded the construction of Fort Ward and the 67 other Civil War forts that guarded the na- tion’s capital, he’s the focus of a new exhibit at the Fort Ward Museum and Historic Site in Alexandria, just across the Po- tomac River fromthe District of Columbia. “We are a Union fort,” said Walton Owen, assistant direc- tor and curator at Fort Ward, “and he’s an important part of our local history and the occu- pation of Alexandria.” The 150th anniversary of Ells- worth’s death is also the subject of an exhibit at the Smithso- nian’s National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., and sever- al of his artifacts — including the uniform coat he was wear- ing when he died — are on dis- play at the New York State Mil- itary Museum in Saratoga Springs. Forever linked with Ellsworth is James Jackson, the Marshall House proprietor and staunch secessionist who shot the Union officer in a stairway of the hotel. Cpl. Francis Brown, one of Ellsworth’s soldiers, shot and killed Jackson, who was hailed in the South as the “first martyr” of the Confederate States of America. While Ells- worth is buried under a 40-foot- tall obelisk at his gravesite in upstate New York, there’s no memorial in the South dedicat- ed to Jackson, though his name was added to Alexandria’s Con- federate Statue 11 years after it was unveiled on May 24, 1889. Before the war, Ellsworth gained national fame while leading a military-style drill teamcalled the Zouaves, known for their distinct uniforms of red pantaloons, red fezzes and blue brocaded jackets. He also became close friends with Abra- ham Lincoln while clerking in the future president’s law office in Illinois, and he campaigned for the Republican Party candi- date during the 1860 election. FORT WARD MUSEUM AND HISTORIC SITE: Fort Ward was named for Command- er James Harmon Ward, the first Union naval officer to be killed in the Civil War. Con- struction began in September 1861 and was completed in about a month. The fort was the fifth largest of the installations collectively known as the De- fenses of Washington. Traces of about 24 of the fortifications still exist, including Fort Ward, considered the best-preserved of the sites still accessible to the public. Operated by the city of Alex- andria, the museum and adja- cent park offer visitors a glimpse of what a garrison sol- dier’s life was like during the Civil War. A reconstructed offi- cers’ hut represents a typical fort dwelling of the era, while Fort Ward’s Northwest Bastion, mounted by several cannons, has been completely restored. Other earthwork walls have been preserved at the site, set amid the lush landscape of a 40- acre park located in a residen- tial neighborhood. The park has picnic facilities, restrooms and an open-air amphitheater for weekly summer concerts.
