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

An appointed manager and part-time, 11-member council re- placed the three elected commis- sioners, but most of the decisions they’ve made to date haven’t per- ceptibly altered the structure of county govern- ment. The county offers the same ser- vices. The majority of workers are in the same jobs. Employees are temporarily handling the du- ties of most elected row officers eliminated by home rule. Council Chairman Jim Bobeck said much of the first half of the year was devoted to the tedious but important crafting of codes and procedures outlining how the new government will oper- ate. “When you change a form of government in place hundreds of years, it doesn’t stop on a dime,” Bobeck said. “The first six months have been dedicated to implementing the vision of the new government, and the next six months as well as the next year will be a continuation of that.” County Manager Robert Law- ton, who started work Feb. 29, said he wanted to assess oper- ations and personnel and get his arms around county finances be- fore instituting major changes. He’s engrossed in preparing a comprehensive mid-year finan- cial report anddevelopingcorrec- tive plans so the county doesn’t end the year with a deficit. Lawton said he held off on se- lecting eight division heads des- ignated in the charter because the positions weren’t budgeted but saidheplans totakeactionon the appointments soon.

Soc- cer enthusiasts have the World Cup. Cinephiles have the Acade- my Awards. For pop-culture lovers — the self-professed geeks and nerds who delight in fantasy-inspired fun from anime to zombies — there is Comic-Con, the Olym- pic-sized celebration of movies, TV, video games, costumes and pop art that began as a humble comic-book convention 43 years ago and is now an annual mar- keting extravaganza. From Thursday to Sunday, more than 100,000 pop-culture aficionados will flood the San Diego ConventionCenter, show- ing off their Storm Trooper suits, playing yet-to-be-released video games and attending pan- els featuring A-list filmmakers like Peter Jackson and such hot TV shows as “Game of Thrones.” But first comes Wednesday’s “preview night.” Available only to those who bought four-day passes to the sold-out conven- tion, the showing is decidedly low tech, yet high end: it’s all about collectible toys. On display will be special-is- sue, limited-edition playthings and books made just for the pop- culture fest. These include not only the unique freebies that var- ious booths are giving away, but also coveted collectibles that could fetch hundreds of dollars at Comic-Con and hundreds more in after-market sales. “There are people who buy tickets for every day of the show so that onWednesday night they can be the first in line for these exclusive collectibles. That’s their reward for going to a desti- nation like Comic-Con,” said pop-culture expert and host of G4’s “Attack of the Show” Blair Butler. “There are also people who flip that stuff on eBay for hundreds of dollars. They buy two: One to keep and one to sell on eBay.” Collectors will literally run across the massive convention center floor when the doors open Wednesday evening to cue up for products like Hasbro’s S.H.I.E.L.D. Super Helicarrier, a four-foot-long replica of the fly- ing superhero headquarters from the “Avengers” movie and Mattel’s quirky Dana as Zuul “Ghostbusters” figurine. Others seek out small-run exclusives such as the golden Domo bob- ble-head doll (only 1,000 made) and Image Comics’ special hard- cover comics collection “The Walking Dead: Compendium One” (only 900 available). Toy companies andpublishers large and small make special products just for the Comic-Con crowd. Hasbro and Mattel each issue around 10 Comic-Con ex- clusives a year. These toys are in- troduced at Comic-Con and lim- ited numbers are often made available for sale later at Toys “R” Us and on each company’s collector websites. “Everything is made in limit- ed quantities. Products can dou- ble, triple, quadruple in price over the course of a year,” said Hugo Stevenson, president of Huckleberry Toys, which is of- fering zombies and other figu- rines based on the upcoming film “ParaNorman.” “There’s a whole group of people who ac- tually make a business out of this: Going down and buying collectibles at San Diego Comic- Con and then selling them in their stores or on eBay.” For most collectors, though, adding exclusive items to a care- fully cultivated collection is priceless. “No collector is going to sell their collection,” saidScott Neit- lich, a marketing manager at Mattel whose personal toy cache includes “roughly5,000” figures. “It’s not just about the physical price of the product, but the emotional connection each col- lector has about what figures they’ve decided to include.” Most toy collectors are men ages 25 to 40, he said, though women are getting into the hob- by in growing numbers. Mattel is aiming its limited DC Comics Vertigo Death statuette and Pol- ly Pocket DCComics Villains set at female collectors. Hasbro hopes to tap the market with a special-edition My Little Pony: a gray Pegasus with blonde hair. “It’s peoplewhogrewupinthe ‘70s and ‘80s who now have dis- posable income to recapture their youth,” Neitlich said“Com- ic-Con has become the place, re- ally the only place, where you can go to get these limited-edi- tion, first-edition products,” said Rich Collins, chief of Big Tent Entertainment, which makes toys and products for Domo, Dark Horse Comics and other brands.

Business of fun Comic Con extravaganza now a marketer’s dream By SANDY COHEN AP Entertainment Writer LOS ANGELES — Heart- throb singer Justin Bieber has been ticketed for speeding on a Los Angeles freeway after being chasedbyat least one other vehi- cle, authorities said. The 18-year-old “Boyfriend” and“Baby” crooner was citedfor driving in excess of 65 mph at about10:45a.m. onFridaymorn- ing, after calls came incomplain- ing of a freeway chase on south- bound U.S. Highway 101 near Studio City, said Officer Ming Hsu of the California Highway Patrol. Bieber told officers he was be- ing chased by paparazzi, Hsu said. “The second vehicle left the area and there’s a search to find that driver,” Hsu said. Hsudidnot have a description of the other vehicle. Acall and an email to Bieber’s publicist we- ren’t immedi- ately returned. The claim of a chase is backed by eye- witness Los Angeles City Councilman Dennis Zine, who called author- ities after seeing Bieber’s dis- tinctive chrome Fisker Karma being chased by five or six other cars. On his morning commute to City Hall, Zine said he sawBieb- er’s sports car drive up behind him and zoom around him, weaving wildly in and out of traf- fic while five or six other cars gave chase. Zine, who spent 33 years as an officer for the LAPD, estimated the chase exceeded 100 mph as paparazzi engaged in wild ma- neuvers to keep up with Bieber, including driving on the shoul- der and cutting off other vehi- cles. Zine said Bieber was breaking the lawby drivingrecklessly and speeding, and the paparazzi were breaking the lawby hound- ing him. “This was very bizarre, very outrageous and showed a total disregard for life and property,” Zine said. Zine, a witness to countless crashes and fatalities during his time as an officer, said he was surprised no one crashed. “The way (Bieber) was driv- ing was totally reckless, I would have arrested himif I had pulled himover,” said Zine. “I wouldn’t have given him a ticket and let him go.” Friday’s incident isn’t the only time the floppy-haired singer has had conflict with paparazzi. In May, a photographer called authorities, complaining he was roughed up by the pop star in a shopping center, The Commons at Calabasas. Authorities said the scuffle happened when a photographer tried to snap photos of Bieber and his girlfriend, teen actress Selena Gomez. In April 2011, Bieber called off a meeting with the Israeli Prime Minister Benja- min Netanyahu in Jerusalem, saying he didn’t want to face the country’s paparazzi.

SHOOTING Continued from Page 1A PLEASUREPOINT, Calif. —A great white shark, estimated to be up to 18 feet long, sheared through the front end of a kayak floating about a quarter-mile from the popular Eastside surf spot known as Pleasure Point in Monterey Bay near Santa Cruz, Calif., authorities said. The attack, which happened about 8:30 a.m. Saturday, is a rare occurrence for the area, as no one has reporteda shark bite insever- al decades in the waters around Santa Cruz County, according to SeanVanSommeranof the Pelag- ic Shark Research Foundation. On Saturday, a 52-year-old Fre- mont, Calif., man was fishing from his 13.5-foot kayak when he felt the shark bump up against the back of the boat. Within seconds, the shark lift- ed up the kayak and attacked the front, sheriff’s deputies said. The man, thrown fromthe kay- ak, was unharmed. He was pluckedfromthe ocean by a boater nearby who had wit- nessed the incident. The man was fishing with two friends in about 40 feet of water just outside a kelp bed when the attack occurred. The man’s friends, in separate kayaks, were not injured. The shark’s teeth sliced through the thick shell of the yel- low kayak, and investigators ex- tracted tooth fragments from the bite marks. Van Sommeran was called to inspect the bite, and he immedi- ately confirmed it was the work of a great white — the world’s largest predatory shark. "Those teeth can go right through bones and saw apart seals," Van Sommeran said. "They’re designed to dismantle sea animals. They rarely bite hu- mans." While shark attacks in the Monterey Bay are rare, shark sightings are common. It’s not unusual to hear of sharks beingspottednear Seacliff and La Selva beaches, Van Som- meran said. A great white was reportedly seen near Marina two weeks ago, he said. The only shark bite Van Som- meran could recall in Santa Cruz Countywas in1960, whena wom- an was badly bitten near Sand Dollar Beach between La Selva and Watsonville. Sharks are known to cruise the California coast between Octo- ber and January, feeding off seals and other sea life before heading farther out to sea for the winter. Capitola, Calif., police issued a text message alert onSaturday to warn surfers and beachgoers about the attack and advise cau- tion when playing near the ocean. "Enter at your own risk," the message read. Surfers and beachgoers ap- peared undaunted by news of the attack. The head-high waves churning on Saturday brought large num- bers out to enjoy the swell. 18-ft. great white attacks a kayak Attack, which happened Saturday morning, rare for area of California coast. BY SHANNA MCCORD Santa Cruz Sentinel NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The 1960s mop top is gone, but Ringo Starr is still flashing a peace sign. The former Beatle marked his 72nd birthday in Nashville Satur- day by holding a “peace and love” moment at noon. He asked people worldwide to do the same at 12 o’clock in their time zones. The idea came to him in 2008 when an interviewer asked him what he wanted for his birthday. Since then, he has held events each year in cities such as New York, Chicago and Hamburg, Ger- many. “It’s sort of catching on more and more, the more we do,” Starr said before the festivities. “We got lots of blogs fromJapan and China and all over the world saying, ‘Wedidpeaceandlove.’ So it’s working.” Hundreds of fans joinedStarr at Hard Rock Café, shouting “peace and love” at the magic hour and holding two fingers in the air. The crowd sang “happy birth- day”andthechorusof “GivePeace AChance.” One fan held up a sign declaring the last time she saw Starr in person. He pointed to her and joked, “I hugged this woman in 1964, and she still can’t get over it.” Organizers presented him with a star magnolia tree that will be planted nearby. He also cut a cake shaped like a flower pot with a gi- ant sunflower growing out of it. Party favors included frosted coo- kies and white, “peace and love” rubber bracelets. Starr’s family and friends showed up, including country singer Vince Gill andEagles guita- rist JoeWalsh.

BOALSBURG Vietnam re-creators set Visitors will be transported to 1968 Vietnam as they experience patrol demonstrations and camp tours on July 21-22, during the Fifth Annual VIETNAM Revisited Combat Biv- ouac Living History Weekend held on the grounds of the Pennsylvania Military Museum in Boalsburg, Cen- tre County. First Cavalry re-enactors from the Greater Pennsylvania Military Pres- ervation Association out of Altoona, museum staff, and volunteers camp out on the grounds providing a glimpse into the recent past. The event is held intentionally in July as the intense heat and humidity were “trademark elements for every per- son who served in Vietnam,” says museum educator Joe Horvath. In addition to the weather, the lush undergrowth and thick tree canopy surrounding Spring Creek beside the museum further repre- sents an element of the Central High- land jungle that soldiers fought in. Greeted by a sign that reads “Wel- come to the Republic of Vietnam,” on which veterans are encouraged to write their name, rank, and dates of service, visitors will experience a time-capsule presentation of a unit in the field of war. Visitors will be in- vited to go out on a short range re- con patrol with a point-man. Long trousers and good shoes are strongly encouraged. During a 2 p.m. tactical demon- stration each day, the audience can expect to hear gunfire as well as communication relays between the firebase and squad leader over au- thentic field radios. New to the event this year is Doug Irwin, a local folk guitarist who will entertain the troops and public. Irwin served for real in the 82nd Airborne Division with the 1/505th Parachute Infantry Regiment. Al- though a veteran, he will be dressed as a green recruit set to perform at 1 PM on Saturday following recordings of the Armed Forces Radio Network on the camp intercom. Doug said he will "be playing some songs from the era, to stay within the appropriate time frame, and a few originals that focus on soldiers and veterans of that time as well." The bivouac opens to the public at 10 a.m. each day. Patrol ambush demonstrations are scheduled for 2 p.m.. The Pennsylvania Military Mu- seum and 28th Infantry Division Shrine is administered by the Penn- sylvania Historical and Museum Commission and located on South Atherton Street (Business Route 322) in Boalsburg, Pennsylvania - 3 miles east of State College and the Pennsylvania State University.

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

WILKES-BARRE– City council will again be asked to vote this week on a resolution to award a $650,000 contract to Schneider Electric as a sole source provider for 62 surveillance cameras at the Intermodal Transporta- tionCenter. But theis- sue is far from being resolved. Council pulled the item from itsagendain June be- cause coun- cil members Tony George andMaureenLavelle questioned the lack of paperwork explaining what the city was pur- chasing. Only four of the five council members were present in June – George Brownwas absent. George said he intends to ask that the itembe pulled again from the agenda because he has several unansweredquestions. At theJunecouncil meeting, city Administrator Marie McCormick said the purchase would be a “sole source procurement,” noting that Schneider is the only vendor avail- able toprovide the cameras andin- stall them to tie into the existing camera system. George said he wanted to see more information about the contract. “What are we paying $650,000 for?” George askedat the meeting. Responding to questions from the public as to why the contract wasn’t publicly advertised, the city said it didn’t solicit bids for the work for a couple of reasons. McCormickandLouLau, thecity’s director of information technolo- gy, said the new cameras must be integrated with the existing sur- veillance system and Schneider is the only company able to provide that service. Schneider installed the existing camera system in the city in 2009. The company was then known as TAC. J.R. Roberts, owner of J.R. Ro- berts Security Strategies of Savan- nah, Ga., said last week that if the contract were bid, the city would havereceivedaminimumof fourto five responses – maybe more. Security cameras remain question W-B City Council member Tony George is not sure about a $650,000 contract.

WYOMING– The Wyoming Farmers Market got off to a slow start Saturday, but pa- trons said they didn’t mind; theylikehavingaproducemar- ket in their neighborhood. “I love coming here,” said Terri Malast of West Wyoming. “This makes it really conve- nient. Wilkes-Barre’s kind of a pain, because when you go there it’s hard to find parking, or youhave topayfor parking.” “This is nice; I can walk up here andwalk home,” saidCar- ol Coutant, who lives just downthe street frommarket in Butler Street Park at the cor- ner of Butler Street and 8th Street. Coutant said she also avoids Wilkes-Barre’s Farmers Mar- ket because of the difficulty of finding parking. “I’ve been to the one at the Arena because they have park- ing,” she said. “But that doesn’t really have much more thanthis here. They have more stands but it’s the same thing. I would say the variety here is just as good as the one up there.” That variety came exclusive- ly from Marty O’Malia Farms of Plains Township, the only produce vendor at Saturday’s market. O’Malia offered a se- lection of fruits and vegetables from common staples – garlic, corn and early season toma- toes – to more exotic offerings like cantaloupe andcousa, a Li- byan variety of squash. “It’s a nice market in a beau- tiful setting here, so hopefully things will pick up as the sum- mer progresses,” said Sherry Packing produce and convenience in 1 trip Wyoming Farmers Market is welcome addition to neighborhood.

Block, a blues veteran who has been touringfor morethan25years, openedthe second night of the Nescopeck Township festival. She was joined by the Butterfield Blues Band, Moreland and Arbuckle and Bernard Allison on the main stage Satur- day, theseconddayof thetwo-dayfestival. Opening with blues pioneer Robert Johnson’s “Crossroads Blues,” Block cov- ered blues standards, including “Death Letter Blues” and “Preachin’ Blues” by Son House, “I’ll be Bound” by Muddy Wa- ters and “Me and the Devil” by Robert Johnson, interspersed with her own com- positions. Singing with a powerful voice that swings from sweet to gravely, Block plays traditional blues in the spirit of the art form’s founders on a steel-stringed acous- ticshesometimes plucks andslaps sohard it makes her fingers bleed. “The humidity is turning the strings in- toeggslicers andmy fingers are the eggs,” she joked with the crowd. It’s a style that at first glance seems out- of-sync with her image.

PARK CITY, UTAH Falling tombstone kills boy A 4-year-old Utah boy was trying to make other children smile for a photograph when a 6-foot-tall tomb- stone that weighed hundreds of pounds fell on him and killed him at a historic cemetery, family members and friends said. Carson Dean Cheney was with his family in the resort town of Park City on Thursday evening when the head- stone toppled onto him after some metal connecting it to its pedestal broke, the boy’s grandmother Geri Gibbs told The Associated Press. The boy’s father, Zac Cheney, does photography in his spare time and was taking portraits of another family at the Glenwood Cemetery, said Curtis Mor- ley, a co-worker and family friend. They chose the old cemetery because of its extensive landscaping, he said. PAMPLONA, SPAIN 6 injured in bull running One elderly thrill-seeker was gored in a leg and five others slightly injured as thousands of adrenaline-fueled runners raced ahead of six fighting bulls in the streets of the northern Spanish city of Pamplona in the first running of the bulls of this year’s San Fermin festival, officials said Saturday. Runners, in traditional white cloth- ing and red kerchiefs around their necks, tripped over each other or fell in the mad daredevil annual rush along early morning dew-moistened slippery streets to the city’s bull ring. One youth got the top of his shirt and kerchief caught on a bull’s horn, inches from his face, and was dragged several yards (meters) along the ground, but was seen to get up and run away. CAIRO Leader to visit Saudi Arabia Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi will travel to Saudi Arabia on Wednesday on his first official trip abroad since being sworn in, a move suggesting the Islamist leader wants to reassure the kingdom that strong rela- tions are a priority. Some Saudi officials are believed to have supported Morsi’s former electo- ral rival, a former prime minister and ex-military general, in hopes of contin- uing the warm relationship once shared with Egypt’s ousted leader Hosni Mubarak. Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah invited Morsi “to strengthen relations.” LOS ANGELES Cat parasite-suicide link A wily parasite well known for influ- encing the behavior of its animal hosts appears to play a troubling role in hu- mans, increasing the risk of suicide among women who are infected, new research shows. Researchers estimate that T. gondii is carried by 10 percent to 20 percent of Americans, who can get it by changing litter used by infected cats or eating undercooked meat from an animal carrying the bug. Despite its prevalence in humans, the protozoan is most famous for the strange effect it has on the brains of rats and mice. When a rat or a mouse is infected, it suddenly flips from being petrified of cats to being attracted to them. The parasite has been linked to an in- creased risk of schizophrenia and bipo- lar disorder in humans. A new study confirms the link by examining in- fection rates and suicide attempts in thousands of women in Denmark. I N B R I E F AP PHOTO Is this what they call runner’s high?

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

From Kabul, she and Karzai headed separately to Japan for an international conference on Af- ghan civilian assistance. Donors planned to pledge $16 billion over four years, with the U.S. share not immediately clear, ac- cording to a U.S. diplomatic offi- cial speaking onconditionof ano- nymity ahead of the official an- nouncement Sunday. The non-NATO ally declara- tion allows for streamlined de- fense cooperation, including ex- pedited purchasing ability of American equipment and easier export control regulations. Af- ghanistan’s military, heavily de- pendent onAmericanandforeign assistance, already enjoys many of these benefits. The non-NATO ally status guarantees it will con- tinue to do so. Afghanistan is the 15th such country to receive the designa- tion. Others include Australia, Egypt, Israel and Japan. Afghan- istan’s neighbor Pakistan was the last nation to gain the status, in 2004. Clintonsaidprogress was com- ing incrementally but consistent- ly to Afghanistan after decades of conflict. “The security situation is more stable,” she said.

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

GETTYSBURG—This year’s re-enactment of theBattleof Get- tysburg is to feature breaking news coverage of one of the piv- otal engagements —140 charac- ters at a time. Four tweeters recruited from two local newspapers planned to deliver minute-by-minute cover- ageof Saturday’sre-enactment of thefightingat Devil’s Denas part of the149th anniversary event at the battlefield. “We thought it would enhance people’s understanding of what happenedthere,” organizer Marc Charisse, editor of the Hanover Evening Sun, told The Philadel- phiaInquirer. Hesaidonereport- er would file from the Confeder- ate side and another from the Unionlines, while YorkDaily Re- cord editor James McClure gave a “big picture” overview of the battle and he himself provided color commentary. The annual event, which has attracted thousands to Gettys- burg for decades, isn’t fought on the actual 1863 battlefield but on a farm about seven miles away, andoftennot onthe actual battle dates of July1-3. Andthenthere’s the play-by-play froman announ- cer. Still, Twitter adds a new di- mension of social media and in- stant communication for about 2,000re-enactors, whotakegreat pains to achieve authenticity in their portrayal of 19th century warfare. But some historians say they don’t mind adding social media to the mix, especially if it helps bring one of the nation’s most fa- mous battles tolifefor anewgen- eration.

But, Roberts said, if the work is not bid and no specifications are advertised, other companies are excluded from the process. He said without a competitive bid- ding process, the city can’t deter- mine if it could have saved any money. George wants to see warranty George said he met with mem- bers of the administration staff last week and he was told the city would lose its warranty on the ex- isting system if another vendor was chosen to do the Intermodal work. George said he will ask to see the warranty. George did not say if the war- ranty for the original system was still in effect. George said he met with Mayor Tom Leighton, Drew McLaughlin, administrative coor- dinator, Greg Barrouk, economic development director, and Tim Henry, city attorney. “They told me if we use any of those other vendors, we will lose our warranty,” Georgesaid. “They said it’s Schneider’s network and infrastructure.” George said he is still research- ing the matter and he doesn’t knowif he will be ready to vote on the contract on Thursday. Questions remain J.R. Roberts said Saturday that warrantiesareusuallyonetothree years max, after which a service agreement would be put in place. Roberts said if the city advertised the Intermodal work it would at least be able to verify if it’s getting the best possible price from Schneider. By not advertising the project, Roberts said there is no systemof checks and balances. So the question to be asked is: why wouldn’t the city want to be assured it is getting the best price for the 62 cameras for the Inter- modal? Roberts said $650,000 for the installation and integration of 62 cameras seems “highly expen- sive.” “It seems like there is a cozy re- lationship somewhere,” he said. “It all sounds rather troubling. It just doesn’t sound right to me.” Roberts said the surveillance camera business has become highly competitive in recent years, actually driving down the costs of cameras and other equip- ment. “If the city asked Schneider to provide specifications, then the workcouldhavebeenadvertised,” he said. “Then, and only then, would the city know for sure that it’s getting a good deal.” DVTel responds; city’s choice Cathy McHugh, director of global marketing at DVTel, said other companies can install their products. “We work with integrators,” McHugh said. “And we sell our products to more than one inte- grator.” McHugh said the companies they sell to must be certifiedto as- sure DVTel that their cameras and equipment are installed properly. Schneider is one of those certified companies, McHugh said. “Thereareothers –ValuedAdd- ed Retailers – who are certified as well,” she said. McHughsaidtheworkcouldbe put out for bid, but the city would need to be very clear about what was neededandprovideall details about the systemthat is already in place. “It would be the city’s choice,” shesaid, regardingadvertisingthe project. McHugh said if the city would choose to switch companies, DVTel requires an authorized change request form advising themthat they have done so in or- der to support themin the future. She said service and support agreements are typically a one- yeartermanddifferent companies (VARs) can sell them different ways – by month, by channel, an- nually, etc. “I am not sure of the city’s ar- rangement for its warranty with Schneider – when the period ends, howit is paid, et cetera,” she said. McHughsaidDVTel workswith a range of integrators/installers worldwide. She said “certified” means they are trained on DVTel systems and certified to install and support them. “In short, if the city changes in- stallers, DVTel needs a written consent form from the city that they want to change their integra- tor of record,” McHugh said. “If thecitydecides tobuytheir future cameras/upgrades, et cetera, from another company and they want DVTel cameras, we require that company to be certified.” At that point, McHugh said a new SSA would go in place, with the newcompany. “Andif they want their previous cameras/systems to be under warranty, they need to discuss that with the new company as well,” she said. Schneider, formerly known as TACof Dallas, Texas, wasselected in 2009 by the Hawkeye Security Systems board to design, install and maintain the city’s $2 million 150-digital camera surveillance system. There were 13 proposals received before TACwas chosen. McCormick said the contract with Schneider would be done in two phases – each costing $325,000. Thefundingfor thepro- ject is provided by state gaming funds and Federal Transit Agency funds – $325,000 from each source, McCormick said. CAMERAS Continued from Page 3A O’Malia. She said the farm has runa standat the market since its inception three summers ago, and that more vendors will likely join soon. Perhaps the high heat kept them away Saturday, she speculated. O’Malia said the farm could use the business because of the losses it sustained in the Septem- ber flood. “The timingwas very bad,” she said. “We hadn’t picked any of our fall crops. We lost our pump- kins; our canning tomatoes. That’s peak season for us. So we want people to come over here and support us and hopefully the market will continue to grow.” In addition to O’Malia’s stand, food vendors offered potato pan- cakes and lemonade in the shade of the park’s many trees. Gloria Kolbeck of Popcorn Etc., a Tunkhannock-based gour- met popcorn vendor, said the store’s stand at the market will help the business break into a dif- ferent market. “It seems like it’s going to be a real nice thing to do over the next couple of weeks,” she said. “We’re doing real well. I’m glad we decided to do this.” Pittston resident Jacqueline Troy rounded out the market’s vendors, selling quilted hand- bags she made herself. “I heard last year it was pretty busy; that’s why I decidedtotry it out,” Troy said. MARKET Continued from Page 3A LAURELRUN– The course on the Giants Despair Hill Climb hasn’t changed, but a section near the bottomhas been cleared and leveled for better access and viewing of the event next week- end. Gone are the dirt mounds and brush along a quarter-mile stretch of East Northampton Street near the starting line. “Actually we did it for the spec- tators,” said Darryl Danko, a competitor and coordinator of the Sports Car Club of America time trial. Thousands are expected to turn out for the 106th hill climb, the longest running one in the United States, that serves as the major fundraiser for the bor- ough’s fire department. “It wasn’t too fan friendly,” ac- knowledged Danko of the former condition of the borough-owned land. A 10- to 12-foot high mound used to stand on the spot where he and John D. Mosley Jr. stood across from the Dickerson Street entrance to Laurel Run Estate Mobile Home Park. The ground behind the mound was covered with picker bushes, weeds and sumac trees. “You couldn’t see the road,” said Mosley, Laurel Run borough fire chief. About a month ago, the bor- ough, its fire department and Al Bonkstartedworkonthe project. Bonkdonatedhis timeandequip- ment, said Danko. There’s more room to walk along the southbound lane in which the drivers race and the ground has been graded making it suitable for people to set up chairs and tents. The borough has plans for the land where peo- ple used to live until Luzerne County bought their properties due to a mine fire underground. About seven or eight years ago the county turned over the land to the borough, Mosley said. “The only thingthat it couldbe used for is recreation,” he said. But for now the focus is on the hill climb. “We should have at least 80 en- trants,” said Danko. It’s capped at 100, he added. Danko has his sights on win- ning a seventh title, making him king of the hill climb winding around five turns, including the 110-degree hairpin named the Devil’s Elbow. Hill climb fans to get better view Dirt mounds and brush have been removed from an area popular with spectators.

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

HARGILL, Texas — A father and two sons shot at a federal im- migration agent parked outside their home along the Texas bor- der this week because they were afraid someone was going to break in, a relative told a newspa- per. U.S. Immigrations and Cus- toms Enforcement agent Kelton Harrison was shot in the back early Tuesday, when prosecutors say Pedro Alvarez and his sons, ages 18 and16, fired at Harrison’s vehicle and chased the agent as he sped away. Prosecutors say Harrison had been watching for ananticipateddrugdeal. His con- dition is improving. Amparo Ramirez, the family matriarch, told the San Antonio Express-News (http://bit.ly/ PnQNxI) in a story published Saturday that Harrison was parked on the next-door property and that no attempt was made to notify home owners of surveil- lance activity. “They thought it was some- body breaking in,” Ramirez said. “The ICE didn’t identify itself. The kids explained what they did.” Alvarez, 41, and his 18-year-old son, Arnoldo Alvarez, are charged with assault of a federal officer and knowingly using and carrying a firearm during a vio- lent crime. His younger son has been charged with attempted capital murder in a state district court. A criminal complaint alleges that the 16-year-old, whose iden- tity is being withheld because of his age, firedabout six shots from a .22 caliber rifle and that Arnol- do Alvarado fired “numerous” shots from a 9mm handgun as they rode in a vehicle being dri- ven by their father. The vehicle had its headlights off in the pre- dawndarkness as it drove by Har- rison, according to the com- plaint.

Block de- scribed Son House as a preacher who sometimes had trouble ex- pressing to others his love of the blues at a time when it was still considered the devil’s music. “He taught me that blues and Gospel are really married,” she said. Thoseartists represent agener- ationthat is rapidly disappearing; 2011 saw the deaths of legends Pinetop Perkins and Honeyboy Edwards (who headlined the 2010 Briggs FarmBlues Festival.) Block said keeping their work alive andrelevant has become her life’s work. “To meet some of the original players and some of the innova- tors is just a spectacular thing,” Block said. “And when they are part of ages and they’re gone, it leaves us with a terrible sense of loss, but it leaves us with a tre- mendous desire to keep the tradi- tion going.” Block has also recorded and flaxenhair, Blockhardlylooks the part of the traditional blues musi- cian, but she said her style grew out of her upbringing in Green- wich Village, “a setting where there was a lot of very raw acous- tic roots music all around.” Her father, who ran a sandal shop in the New York City neigh- borhood during the 1960s, was friends with Pete Seeger, and John Sebastian of The Lovin’ Spoonful lived nearby. At 15, she left home to seek out and study under some of the liv- ing masters of the blues. Now 62 and a master in her ownright, Block has devotedher- self torecordingtributealbumsto the artists she studied under. She has recorded tributes to Son House and Mississippi Fred McDowell, and her latest, a trib- ute to the Rev. Gary Davis, debut- ed at number 3 on the Living Blues radio charts in June. “It really represents my life’s work, and the source of my inspi- ration,” Block said. “It’s a sort of a thank you to the unbelievable players that I got to meet in per- son.” Block shared personal memo- shared the stage with more con- temporary artists like Bonnie Raitt, Stevie Wonder, Bruce HornesbyandTaj Mahal. Shesaid her approach to song-writing is difficult to describe – “It’s hard to tell somebody else how to love something that you personally love, she said – but that emotion is its key. “Soulfulness is part of what makes something great, more than talent,” she said. “Part of what makes something great is the depth of feeling that’s embod- ied in it.” And it’s soul that has keeps her going. At an age when some might think of retiring, Block tours regionally almost constant- ly, makes occasional trips cross- country and tours in Europe once a year. “I always thinkthat I’mgoingto retire and I always keep going,” she said. “I always say I’m going to settle down and retire, and it only just morphs into doing more tours and doing more record- ings.” DON CAREY/THE TIMES LEADER Sheryl Popkin checks out some dresses during the Briggs Farm Blues Festival Saturday. BLOCK Continued from Page 3A DON CAREY/THE TIMES LEADER Richard Briggs, founder of the Briggs Farm Blues Festival, speaks to his crew on the phone backstage at the event Saturday. NESCOPECK – Richard Briggs was born into a family of farmers and grew up to become the ninth generation proprietor of a 350-acre estate founded in the 1760s. It was a desire to keep that farm in his family, Briggs said, that inspired him to found the Briggs Farm Blues Festival 15 years ago. “My son and grandson both still live here,” Briggs said back- stage at the blues festival Sat- urday. “It’s just a way to keep the farm going, and keep it in the family.” Besides providing inspiration for his descendants to carry on the family business, the annual festival provides financial sup- port that allows Briggs to con- tinue operating his farm, where he raises corn, soybeans, hay and eggs used in the production of flu vaccines, the other 51 weeks of the year. But the festival was never just about money, Briggs said. “The act of putting on the festival is an act of art for me,” Briggs said. “It’s putting on a show.” Built on a love of blues-based rock ’n’ roll fixed in his teenage years, Briggs said his interest in the roots of the blues grew deep- er as he grew older. His interest in exploring the history of the art form has led him to recruit older musicians like Louisiana Red, Big Jack Johnson and Da- vid ‘Honeyboy’ Edwards, who at 94 years old performed one of his last shows at the 2010 Briggs Farm Festival. “One of the reasons why I get the old-timers here is because of the connection to the history of the blues,” he said. “Finding out more about the old players, going way back when they still had plantations. They were chopping cotton in the South before mechanization. It was still very close to slavery in those days, and that’s where the blues started.” The festival has become a larger and more involved affair over the last 15 years. This year’s festival attracted about 5,000 concert-goers, about 1,500 of whom camped overnight at the farm, expanding from one to two days, allowing camping and adding a second, “Back Porch” stage where the audience can have greater interaction with artists during their sets. But Briggs said the concert remains a family affair, orga- nized by himself, a small staff and his family members. “Size is not the only thing about it,” he said. “The down home good vibe aspect of it is really good.” Laura McCourt of Philadel- phia, attending her fifth festival at the farm, agreed with Briggs’ depiction of the festival. “The atmosphere is just so laid back, and it brings together different age groups and gener- ations,” she said. “Just for the love of the music.” Keeping a farm alive brought blues festival By MATT HUGHES [email protected] PHILADELPHIA — Highways buckled across the country, the wa- ters of Lake Michigan were unusual- ly warm for this time of year and even a minor train derailment out- sideWashingtonwas blamedonheat as the hot weather gripping much of thecountryonlyworsenedSaturday. Temperatures of more than 100 degrees were forecast in Philadel- phia and excessive heat warnings were issued for several states in the Midwest as the days of smothering heat piled on, accompanied by se- vere storms that have knocked out power in spots fromMichigan to the East Coast. Most notable was last weekend’s sudden and severe storm that drenched the mid-Atlantic re- gion, where thousands remained without electricity a week later. At least 24 deaths have been blamed on the heat and several others on the weather or a combinationof the two. Hundreds of thousands remained without power Saturday, mostly in West Virginia, Ohio and Michigan. At New York City’s Penn Station, theair conditioningwas fallingshort of full capacity. Amtrakofficials have said for weeks that they’ve been try- ing to adjust it. The doors were left wide open at a half dozen locations around the two-block-wide under- ground station. “It’s so hot I feel like I want to faint,” said Betty De la Rosa, 19, of the Bronx, who was working at a sta- tion doughnut shop. Record temperatures were set in several places, including Indianapo- lis, Washington and Milwaukee. In central Arkansas, Russellville reac- hed 106 degrees Friday, breaking a record set in 1964. The heat was also blamed for at least 24 deaths. Nine people in Maryland have died of heat-related causes in recent days, the state said. Authorities in Chicago said heat was a factor in six deaths there, mostly among older people. Three deaths in Wisconsin, two in Tennessee and one in Penn- sylvania were also reported to be heat-related. In Ohio, a man in his 70s and two women — one in her late 60s, the other in her 80s — were found dead this week, said Dr. Jeff Lee, a deputy county coroner in the central part of the state. He said all three were suf- fering from heart disease but died from stress caused by high temper- atures intheir houses. Temperatures inside were stifling, recorded in the 90s in two cases, with windows shut and no ventilation. The houses lacked electricity because of recent power outages. “If they had gotten cooling, we would have expected them to sur- vive,” he said. Relief was on the way in the form of a cold front as the weekend ends, but forecasters expected it to bring more severe weather, too. Seeking relief from the unbearable heat Temperatures of more than 100 degrees bake parts of the East Coast and Midwest. By RON TODT Associated Press The high temperature of 92 degrees Saturday morning failed to break the record of 98 set in 1988, according to the National Weather Service in Binghamton, N.Y. The high temperature was recorded at 11:46 a.m. at the Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton International Airport. The low for the day was 68 and that occurred at 5:06 a.m. The normal values for the day are 82 and 61, according to the NWS. Thunderstorms that moved through the region helped lower the temper- ature, but they also caused power outages in the southern part of Lu- zerne County and in Mountain Top. PPL Electric Utilities reported 17,542 customers were without power as of 6:13 p.m. PPL reported the heaviest hit areas were: West Hazleton with 5,359 cus- tomers affected; Wright Township, 4,538; Butler Township, 4,124; and Sugarloaf 3,232.

Approximately 75 people are needed to set up, pour the beer, make the cheese steaks and french fries, sell the tickets, clean upandeverythingelseassociated with the bazaar expected to raise $25,000 in funds for the hose company. It almost didn’t happen with- out Dan Wegrzynowicz. “Nobody wanted to run it,” he said Thursday afternoon in the shade of a tent as the temper- ature approached 90 degrees and the final details were being at- tendedtoa fewhours before the 6 p.m. start. Wegrzynowicz, a firefighter for 16 years, got involved at a meet- ing earlier this year. “I raised my hand and said, ‘We at least have to do (it) one more year,’ ” he said. The decisionhas tobe made by the end of February in order to book the bands and start the planning process, he said. Wegrzynowicz, who served as chairman for the bazaar, took off two days of work. Co-chairman Chris Weaver said he works around his work schedule. At 43, Wegrzynowicz is one of the younger volunteers. Weaver is 36. Many of the others helping out are in the 50s, 60s and 70s. Weaver followed the lead of his 60-year-old dad, Gary. “He was chairman of the ba- zaar years ago,” said the younger Weaver. “He taught me howto do it.” Weaver looked at his participa- tion as a way to give back and la- mented the lack of “kids” getting involved in the fire company and its bazaar. “I wish more people would volunteer for their com- munity,” he said. His dad rattled off a list of men who answered the calls for emer- gencies andbazaars –HarryMan- gan, Lenny Price, Uzdella, Gary Makarczyk, Frank McKenzie, Lou Sewell, Stanley Browski, To- ny Truskoski and the late Gene Lasecki, who was township fire chief. He said their efforts helped double the size of the fire hall in the 1980s, adding a ground-floor kitchen, and social room and a basement garage with a truck to pull their water rescue crafts. The township owns the front half of the building with a single bay for twotrucks, anoffice andsmall storage areas. “Our first bazaar was across thestreet,” saidtheolder Weaver. The former St. Casimir church allowed use of its property. The firefighters built the stands on the church lot and cooked the food and washed the pots at the hose company, Weaver ex- plained. The grass lot’s since been used for parking for the bazaar. “I’m expecting a good turn- out,” said Chris Weaver. People come fromfar away to attend the social event and reunite with old friends. For more than two decades Tess Urban of Lee Park Avenue, a member of the hose company’s Women’s Auxiliary, has been bringing a group to work at the bazaar. Her daughter Mary Ann Rom- pola and son-in-law Randy and their children Sarah, Emily, and Ryan traveled from Indiana to make potato pancakes. Another daughter, Ellie Urban, grand- daughter Angela Genoese and her boyfriend traveled from out of state and pitched in. So did Ur- ban’s friend, Sabine Thomas. “We’ve done this for 25 years, since the kids were little,” said Urban. “It’s a tradition.” It ended with the hose compa- ny’s final bazaar. But a new one couldbeginwithplans toconsoli- date the township’s fire compa- nies and hold one large festival in a few years.

HANOVER TWP. – Firefight- ers will some day be answering the call from a centrally located headquarters along the Sans Souci Parkway. Plans are being made to build the facility on the former Square H lumber company site, but no date has been set yet to break ground. Fire Chief Jeff Tudgay said none of the six companies throughout the township will be eliminated. “We’re putting companies in one location,” he said Saturday. The departments cover a 22-square-mile area with “every- thing under the sun you can imagine,” said the chief. The township has residential neigh- borhoods, shopping centers, manufacturing facilities, the Susquehanna River and Inter- state 81 and other major road- ways running through it. The move has to do with economics and staffing, ex- plained Tudgay. “We don’t have the manpow- er,” he said. Last year the Hanover Area Fire District was created to serve as the “parent company” and to act as the applicant for grants, he added. Funding is being sought for the construction. The local share gaming funds are being pursued as a source, he said. The Breslau Hose Co. No. 5, Franklin Hose Co. No. 4 and the Goodwill Hose Co. No. 1 will relocate to the planned Sans Souci facility, said Tudgay. It will be manned around the clock. Franklin, which used to be on Lee Park Avenue, is stationed with Breslau on First Street. Goodwill will move from Center Street in the Hanover Green section. Newtown Hose Co. No. 2 will remain on Raymond Drive. Askam Hose Co. No. 6 on McGovern’s Hill Road will stay somewhere in that area, said Tudgay. Hanover set to consolidate 6 fire companies By JERRY LYNOTT [email protected] Christopher Kersey said several goals of the new government have already “come to fruition.” He noted: • An ethics commission has been set up to police the coun- ty’s first ethics code, with sever- al complaints already filed. • Council is publicly inter- viewing applicants for outside authorities and boards. In the past, names of appointees ap- peared on commissioner agen- das with no public discussion. • The public also heard op- tions and details about the 2012 amended budget the same time as council. In the past, commis- sioners had public budget hear- ings but hammered out the ac- tual budget in private. “I think you’re going to have much more honest budgeting under the new government,” Kersey said. Lawton’s recommendation to cancel county funding for the Hotel Sterling demolition and the Market Street Square train stationrenovationalsoshowthe manager is making nonpolitical decisions based on what’s best for the county – another home rule objective, Kersey said. Kingston Mayor Jim Hagger- ty, a charter drafter, said he is “extremely pleased” with the new government after six months. The manager is making pro- fessional decisions about day- to-day operations “without re- gard to politics.” The newcouncil is a “tremen- dous improvement” over the former three-commissioner board, he said. Council mem- bers from both political major political parties and an Inde- pendent have proven to be “dili- gent, transparent and largely non-partisan,” he said. More citizens are involved in county government through ap- pointments to outside boards, and most of these volunteers wouldn’t have a chance to serve when appointments were con- trolled by two majority commis- sioners, he said. Division heads The appointment of division heads must be priority because these administrators will help Lawton implement consolida- tions that comply with the new government structure and make county government more efficient, Kersey said. Fairmount Township resi- dent Michael Giamber, a fre- quent county meeting attendee and fervent home rule support- er, said division head appoint- ments can’t wait. “The monumental task of standing up a new government requires a cabinet of experts to advise the manager and help steer the organization forward. The manager cannot be expect- ed to accomplish the transition alone,” Giamber said. Charter drafter Richard Hef- fron agreed, saying in-house promotions are an option. Hef- fron particularly wants to see the restructuring of the central law office and the judicial ser- vices division covering civil and criminal court records and other offices. Streamlining of offices will free up funding for other prior- ities, he said. Charter drafter Veroni- ca Ciaruffoli, another regu- lar at council meetings, said division heads will help Law- ton restruc- ture offices and sort through inher- ited financial problems. “We put a new manager intotransition into a whole new organiza- tional struc- ture, which is different than taking some- thing that al- ready exists and refining it,” she said. Ciaruffoli said the coun- ty’s new lead- ers are moving the govern- ment in the right direc- tion, though she wants them to re- view the char- ter again to make sure ev- ery home rule mandate is un- derstood and followed. Poised to move forward Kingston resident Brian Shin- er, who hasn’t missed a council meeting, said progress under the newgovernment was largely “hampered by mundane neces- sities mandated by the charter,” including drafting of the admin- istrative, ethics and personnel codes. “Now that all of those things are finalized, they can move on withthe taskof actuallyrunning the county,” Shiner said. Shiner said Lawton should be ready to start implementing changes. “Mr. Lawton has had four months now to get his feet wet and get to knowand understand our county a little better. Now he needs to start making some firm and aggressive decisions,” Shiner said. Shiner said he accepted coun- cil’s decision to raise taxes 2 per- cent in the amended budget to provide wiggle room until the new manager was on board. “Nowit’s time to start making all the necessary cuts in the line items of the budget and to in- crease our revenue,” Shiner said, noting that he’s also refer- ring to the judicial branch. He believes most of the new council members are trying to make the best decisions with no ulterior motives and supports a council of “average citizens” as opposed to “seasoned politic- ians.” The council composition will change again in 2014 because fiveof the11seats areupfor elec- tion in 2013, he said. Jackson Township resident Ed Chesnovitch, a charter sup- porter and faithful meeting at- tendee, said he will continue to push for charter compliance. “I think we’re on the path, but it’s a new government. It’s a learning experience, and some- times they sidestepthe charter.” HOME Continued from Page 1A Bobeck Ciaruffoli Haggerty Kersey Lawton as the phone was answeredtonot having his messages returned, Wert was beginning to lose pa- tience. “They can’t even tell me if they received my return or not. It’s like it’s Looney Tunes down there,” said Wert, who works as a car salesman at Ertley Kia in Moosic. Representatives frustrated Municipal and school district representatives sitting on the tax committee are just as frustrated, if not more. Several have said they might not be able to meet payroll or pay other bills if the problem with Centax is not re- solved soon. They might have to take out tax anticipation loans to do so. Luzerne County Tax Collec- tion Committee Solicitor Jeff Malak said that as of July 2, un- distributed earned income tax collections totaling $5.4 million have been sitting in a special in- vestment trust account created for Luzerne County because Cen- tax hasn’t been able to reconcile what amounts are owed to which municipalities and school dis- tricts. Since the June 27 committee meeting, at which the TCCvoted to have Malak research how to end the contract with Centax, Malak said he has sent a letter to the state Department of Commu- nity andEconomic development, which has been overseeing the implementationof Act 32, asking for emergency relief. Specifically, the committee is requesting permission from DCED for Centax to release funds in the account to munici- palities and school districts based on predetermined percent- ages andworry about reconciling the amounts with what is actual- ly owed them at a later time. Malak also sent a letter to the office of state Attorney General Linda Kelly asking her to look in- to collections to determine if there was “any type of fraud or il- legal activity,” as suggested by a TCCmember at thelast meeting. The TCCwas set to vote to fire Centax at the meeting, but that day, the TCC received a letter from Centax pointing to a clause in its contract that allowed the agency 90 days to cure any prob- lem pointed out to company offi- cials. Bond rate set by DCED At that meeting, committee members asked how DCED de- termined that Centax was Act 32-compliant and eligible to be considered as an EIT collector. Others questioned why Centax’s performance bond was set at $3.28 million when the agency had more money than that tied up. At the meeting, Malak said DCED set the bond rate and made the determination. In response to an inquiry from The Times Leader on what made a tax collector Act 32 compliant, a DCED spokesman said a tax collection committee cannot ap- point a tax collector that: • Has been convicted of a felo- ny involving fraud, extortion or dishonesty; •Has engaged in conduct that adversely reflects onthe Tax Offi- cer’s credibility, honesty or integ- rity; • Is unable to attain bonding requirements; • Has not met the mandatory education requirements estab- lished by DCED; or • Has not met additional re- quirements established by both the tax collection committee and DCED. The spokesman did not supply the requested mandatory educa- tion requirements or additional requirements requested by close of business Friday. The spokesman also said that each county tax collection com- mittee was responsible for set- ting the bond rate “in an amount equal tothe maximumamount of taxes that may be in the posses- sionof the taxofficer at any given time; or sufficient to secure the financial responsibility of the tax officer as determined by the tax collection committee.” Malak said the committee fol- lowed DCED guidelines on the bond determination and said the EITrevenue collectedshouldnot have surpassed $3.2 million be- fore distribution began by April. Unfortunately, because revenue was still “trickling in” from 2011 collections and small amounts of revenue distributed for 2012, most municipalities didn’t real- ize there was a problem until May. CENTAX Continued from Page 1A Luzerne County isn’t the only Pennsylvania county experiencing problems with the Centax Group. According to the Republican- Herald, the Schuylkill County Tax Collection Committee ousted Centax on June 27 for failing to process earned income tax bills in a timely manner. That county TCC plans to appoint Berkheimer Associates as the new EIT collector at a meeting on Tuesday. And according to the Observer- Reporter, the Greene County Tax Collection Committee authorized its solicitor on June 28 to file a court injunction halting Centax from collecting earned income taxes in that county. The action was taken after munici- palities reported receiving neither full disbursements nor monthly reports from Centax since it began collecting earned income taxes for that county’s municipalities and school districts in January, the newspaper reported.

So let’s take a little trip and do some re- search of our own.” “Not again,” he sighed. “I have a cookout planned, and I just realized I forgot the bratwurst and…” Well, to make a long story short, we were soon in a typ- ical Wyoming Valley neighborhood of about 60 years ago, thanks to my powers of metaphysical travel. “Where are all those kids heading?” he asked. “Let’s take a walk around the corner.” “Hey, it’s a movie theater,” he said. “Right! It’s just one of the innumerable neighborhood movie houses that used to dot the area. The multiplex that’s 20 miles away hasn’t been invented yet. We’re going to a Saturday matinee, a staple of young people’s lives back then. Those kids you sawhave been looking forward to it all week.” “Wow, ‘Terror fromthe Sea,’ it says on the marquee. “Two adult,” I tell the young lady in the ticket booth. “Oh, we’re not going in, are we?” moaned Alner. “Relax,” I smiled. “I have yet another power – that of theoretical invisibility. We can buy our Good and Plenties and cheer for the heroes and nobody will knowwe’re there.” “Show’s starting,” whispered Alner. “Look, a Bugs Bunny cartoon.” “Notice howElmer Fudd is hunting Bugs with a shotgun,” I said. “But Bugs manages to blast himto smithereens instead. And then Bugs rolls a huge boulder down on Elmer, completely flattening him.” “Boy, I never sawthat kind of thing on ‘Mister Rogers.’” “The Three Stooges are next,” I said. “It’s 15 minutes of Moe, Larry and Curley poking each other in the eye and getting bashed with heavy objects. Listen to the kids. They love the Stooges, but no one will actually do anything like this when they get home. I think they’re on to some distinction between art and reality that we’ve forgotten.” “Nowwe’re seeing a cowboy movie.” “Right on, pardner,” I smiled. This is a serial. By the time it’s over, there will have been all kinds of gunfights, fistfights and chases on horseback, and you’ll have to come back next week to see howthe hero survived being thrown off a cliff.” “This ‘Terror fromthe Sea’ should be good,” said Alner as the credits rolled. “Look howthe giant, slimy creature is destroying our cities and stomping peo- TOM MOONEY R E M E M B E R W H E N No fight with those violent good old days See MOONEY, Page 2B “The Three Stooges are next,” I said. “It’s 15 minutes of Moe, Larry and Curley poki- ng each other in the eye and getting bashed with heavy ob- jects.” D orothy Stucker is the assistant to the librarian at the North Branch of the Osterhout Free Library in Wilkes-Barre. Stucker, 71, has inspired many peo- ple as a breast cancer survivor who has lived a fruitful life since being diag- nosed with the disease 25 years ago. Dorothy attended West Pittston High School and has been married to her husband, Paul, for 50 years. They have three children: Arlene, Sandy and Paul Jr. The couple lives in Parsons. You have been working at the Osterhout Library for more than 30 years. How has that been and what are some of your fon- dest memories there? “I have always worked for the North Branch and we have had three locations in the time I have been there. We were located on George Avenue and had to move when there was a fire there. We relocated to Washing- ton Street for a time and have been at the Oliver Street location the last two years. The time spent at all those locations had been dear to me because I really enjoy the people. The children have been special and I have seen so many people come and go there over the years. One of the moments there that stands out was when a woman I was talking to was going to a job interview once she left the library that day. She was worried because she did not have a nice top to wear to the meeting. I had two blouses on, so I took the top one off and let her wear it to the interview. She was very thankful and that was a special mo- ment.” Tell us about your experience or battle with breast cancer and what transpired the last 25 years. “In 1987 I felt a lump and went for an ultrasound and mammogram. The tests were negative and everything seemed fine. The lump was still there so I decided to have a biopsy. It proved to be cancer. I decided to see Dr. David Greenwald and I went through mastectomy surgery and chemotherapy for a while. I then decided I had enough of the chemo and that God and I did not want to have it anymore. Twenty-five years later I am still here and making it.” The help you received seemed to make you want to support others. How has your experience been ben- eficial to others? “Having cancer is not good, but in another instance, I have met and hopefully helped so many people. I am part of The Brave- hearts, which is a support group for cancer survivors. I was recently part of the Star Survivors group that walked in the “Relay for Life” this past June at King’s College, to raise awareness for cancer.” CLARK VAN ORDEN/ THE TIMES LEADER See MEET, Page 2B MEET DOROTHY STUCKER L OS ANGELES - Jonathan Beggs want- ed an easy way for his neighbors to share books. Using odds and ends of fiberboard and Douglas fir, the retired building contractor fashioned a hutch the size of a dollhouse. He gave it a pitchedcedar-shingle roof cappedwith copper. The door, trimmed in bright red, opens tothreeshelves filledwithbooks byJoyceCarol Oates, Tony Hillerman, James Michener and others. Below hangs a sign: “Take a book or bring a book or both.” In the half-year that Beggs’ Little Free Li- brary has perched on a post in front of his Sher- man Oaks, Calif., home, it has evolved into muchmorethanabookexchange. It has turned strangers into friends and a sometimes imper- sonal neighborhood into a community. It has become a mini-town square, where people gather todiscuss SherlockHolmes, sustainabil- ity and genealogy. “I met more neighbors in the first three weeks than in the previous 30 years,” said Beggs, 76. When a 9-year-old boy knocked on his door onemorningtosayhowmuchhelikedthelittle library, Beggs knewhewas ontosomething. He added amenities to make it more welcoming. He crafted wooden benches from leftover beams and installed them on either side of the library amid redwood chips that cushion the feet. Beggs heardabout little libraries fromanoth- er member of a group interested in self-suffi- ciency. “I thought it was such a cute idea, so I built one,” he said. “It’s a lot of fun.” His Little Free Library is part of a movement that started in Wisconsin and has begun to catch on in Southern California.

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

Articles must be limited to 220 words, and we reserve the right to edit announcements that exceed that word count. Announcements must be typed or submitted via www.timesleader.com. (Click on the "people" tab, then “weddings” and follow the instructions from there.) Submissions must include a daytime contact phone number and must be received within 10 months of the wedding date. We do not run first-year anniversary announcements or announce- ments of weddings that took place more than a year ago. (Wedding photographers often can supply you with a color proof in advance of other album photographs.) All other social announcements must be typed and include a day- time contact phone number. Announcements of births at local hospitals are submitted by hospi- tals and published on Sundays. Out-of-town announcements with local connections also are accepted. Photos are only accept- ed with baptism, dedication or other religious-ceremony an- nouncements but not birth an- nouncements. Engagement announcements must be submitted at least one month before the wedding date to guarantee publication and must include the wedding date. We cannot publish engagement an- nouncements once the wedding has taken place. Anniversary photographs are published free of charge at the 10th wedding anniversary and subsequent five-year milestones.

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

By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer DALLAS – Seeing major leaguers Kevin Millwood and Roy Halladay pitch no-hit- ters is one thing. Tossing a gemyour- self – in a huge game no less – carries a spe- cial significance. J.D. Barrett, a wit- ness to Millwood’s and Halladay’s no- nos, threw a four-in- ning no-hitter Satur- day, helping Back Mountain American winthe District 31Lit- tle League Major baseball title with a 14-0 victory over Wyoming/West Wyoming. “He pitched incredible today,” American manager Steve Mathers said. “After coming off that Exeter game, what I thought was his best game, he came in here and absolutely shut these guys out.” That in itself was impressive consid- ering Wyoming/West Wyoming had scored six or more runs in five of its seven tournament games. But by mix- ing in a solid change-up, Barrett was able tofanfive includingthree looking. Wyoming/West Wyoming had just three baserunners. Alex Hawk drew a four-pitchwalkinthe second, andMatt Selinskie and Alex Gonzales worked consecutive free passes in the fourth with one out. That didn’t phase Barrett in part be- cause his offense gave hima huge cush- ion early on. “It was good because there wasn’t a lot of pressure on me,” Barrett said. “And I knew my fiel- ders would make the plays.” Flawless defense was obscured by pitching and offense. Americanled3-0af- ter one inning, even sacrificinganout for a run when David Schuster got in a run- down between first and second to allow Christian Roberts to score from third. “It was very impor- tant,” Mather said. “As you see, we trad- ed in our third out for a run there. Runs to come by at this level are tough to come by. At least they were for us this year.” Not Saturday as American tacked on seven more in the second. Barrett had a two-run double, while Schuster and Devin Robbins each singled in runs as American sent 11 batters to the plate. The victory also means American will be home for the entire Section 5 tournament as the D31 champion L I TTL E L EAGUE BASEBAL L Special performance leads to championship AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER Back Mountain American players swarm the field after winning the District 31 championship game Saturday after- noon against Wyoming/West Wyoming. No-hitter lifts American to district title By JOHN ERZAR [email protected] Back Mountain American pitcher J.D. Barrett delivers a pitch during Saturday’s District 31 championship game. See SPECIAL, Page 6C LAS VEGAS — Blake Griffin, Andre Iguodala and James Har- den were chosen Saturday to complete the roster for the U.S. Olympic basketball team. They earned the final three spots that opened after a rash of injuries knocked out at least four players who would have been on the team. They beat out Eric Gor- don, Rudy Gay and No. 1 draft pick Anthony Davis of New Or- leans, who couldn’t scrimmage this week because of a sprained ankle. Also heading to Londonfor the defending gold medalists are: Le- Bron James, Kobe Bryant, Car- melo Anthony, Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, Tyson Chandler and Kevin Love. Griffin showed he was healthy again after being slowed by a knee injury during the playoffs, puttingonanimpressivedunking display following practice Satur- day. Harden, theNBA’sSixthMan of the Year with Oklahoma City, gives the Americans more scor- ingpunchoff thebench, andIguo- dala is a defensive specialist who can guard multiple positions. The Americans lost Dwight Howard, Derrick Rose, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh to injuries inrecent months, forcingthemto scrap plans to name their 12-man roster on June18. They asked the US Olympic Committee for a ros- ter extension and added Harden andDavis totheir original pool of finalists that was chosen in Janu- ary. USABasketball chairmanJerry Colangelo was intrigued by Da- vis’ skills, but the national player of the year at Kentucky sprained his ankle last week and was not able to take part this week, rob- bing him of a chance to show he was readytohandle international competition now. James, Bryant, Anthony, Paul and Williams were all part of the 2008 Olympic gold medalists. Durant, Westbrook, Chandler and Love played on the world championship team two years ago. The injuries leave the Ameri- cans short-handed at center, where Howard started four years ago in Beijing and Bosh backed him up. Chandler is the only nat- ural center left, so the Americans will be forcedto use some players out of their normal NBA posi- tions. B A S K E T B A L L Olympic roster for U.S is now complete Final three spots were filled by Griffin, Iguodala and Harden. By BRIAN MAHONEY AP Basketball Writer T he kid on the mound for Back Mountain National was no stranger to no-hitters. He’s watched a couple from the stands at major league stadiums. He’s pitched a few himself on Lit- tle League mounds. But what he accomplished Sat- urday may have given J.D. Barrett a bigger thrill than all the rest. Because the no-hitter he threw in the 11-12-year old District 31 title game solidified one last Little League season in which Barrett and his Back Mountain American buddies could call themselves the best. “Pretty good,” Barrett said of his feat. The circumstances surrounding it made Barrett’s performance great. OK, so he only had to pitch four innings of a game that was ended early by the 10-run rule as Back Mountain bashed its way to a 14-0 victory over Wyoming/West Wyom- ing. And “Big Game” Barrett’s becom- ing known for such stellar perform- ances, after pitching a five-inning no-hitter in Back Mountain’s 10-11- year old district championship victo- ry last summer and after helping his teams of 9-and-10-year olds win dis- trict titles during the previous two years. “He’s kind of used to it at this point,” said his father John Barrett. But this was the final time Barrett, who recently turned 13 but made Little League Baseball’s cutoff age date, would wind up on a District 31 mound. And he was facing a Wyoming/ West Wyoming team that just torched opposing pitchers throughout the district tournament. “He pitched unbelievable today,” Back Mountain National manager Steve Mathers said. “Absolutely came in and shut these guys out.” How dominant was Barrett? Only one ball left the infield against him, when Wyoming/West Wyoming’s Matt Silinskie slammed a first-inning drive that was tracked down in deep right field by Devin Robbins to end the opening frame. Other than that, hard-hitting Wyoming/West Wyoming didn’t real- ly come close to getting a hit, as Barrett walked three, struck out five and polished off his no-hit gem by inducing two ground outs to finish the game. “It wasn’t on my mind,” Barrett said. “It just happened.” It just so happened that Barrett, a Phillies fan, was in the stands as a 3-year-old toddler when Kevin Mill- wood pitched a no-hitter for Philadel- phia at Veterans Stadium in 2003. Barrett has better recollection of the second no-hitter he witnessed in person, which came when his pitch- ing hero Roy Halladay made his first career playoff start so memorable by holding the Cincinnati Reds hitless in a 2010 playoff game at Citizens Bank Park. “Maybe he emulated them,” sug- gested Lisa Barrett, J.D.’s mom. More likely, Barrett was more con- cerned about imitating his own past playoff success. He knew Wyoming/ West Wyoming’s power-packed lineup was dangerous, because he grew up playing with some of those kids. Before moving to the Back Moun- tain, J.D. Barrett got his start in baseball at the Tee-ball level in the Wyoming/West Wyoming region, where his mother works as a teacher in the Wyoming Area school district. “He was so thrilled to be playing them,” Lisa Barrett said. It turns out facing J.D. Barrett with a championship on the line isn’t nearly as big of a thrill.

C M Y K THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com SUNDAY, JULY 8, 2012 PAGE 3C ➛ S P O R T S MI NOR L EAGUES The Tampa Yankees have been one of the most dominant teams in the Florida State League with three league cham- pionships in the last eight years, including two in the last three years. They stumbled to begin the 2012 season finishing under .500 in the first half standings with a 30-37 record. But looking to add to championships, the T-Yanks are off to a good start in the second half and just added some help last week. Three of the organization’s top prospects – catcher Gary Sanchez and outfielders Mason Williams and Tyler Austin – were promoted to the high Class-A affiliate from Low-A Charleston just a few days ago. In the FSL winners of the divi- sion in each half advance to the postseason. Tampa seems to have a good chance to advance to the playoffs with the addi- tions because the trio helped the RiverDogs to a 39-28 first- half record in the South Atlantic League and an overall record of 46-33 record before their promo- tions. With another top prospect in Slade Heathcott also on the Tampa roster, the team now consists of four of the top 14 according to MLB.com and three of the top six. Here are the New York Yan- kees top-10 prospects according to MLB.com. 1. Manny Banuelos, LHP, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (Triple- A): The left-hander, currently on the disabled list, is 0-2 with a 4.50 ERA in six starts for Yan- kees with 22 Ks in 24 innings. 2. Dellin Betances, RHP, Trenton (Double-A): The 6- foot-8, 260-pounder was demot- ed to the Thunder last week because of continuous com- mand problems. For Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre he totaled 69 walks in 74 2/3 innings along with a 6.39 ERA. He has started two games for Trenton and shown improvement with a 0.75 ERA and has walked six in 12 innings. 3. Gary Sanchez, catcher, Tampa (High-A): The 19-year- old was promoted from Char- leston after hitting .297 with 13 home runs, 56 RBI and 11 stolen bases. In three games with the T-Yanks, he’s 4-for-13 with a home run and a stolen base. 4. Mason Williams, outfielder, Tampa (High-A): Just like his teammate Sanchez, he was promoted to Tampa last week. He hit .304 with eight home runs, 28 RBI, 19 doubles and 19 steals for Charleston. In four games for Tampa, he is 4-for-19 with an RBI. 5. Jose Campos, RHP, Char- leston (A): A19-year-old ac- quired from Seattle is currently on the DL with elbow inflamma- tion and is currently 3-0 with a 4.01 ERA and 26 strikeouts in 24 2 ⁄3 innings. 6. Slade Heathcott, outfielder, Tampa (A): The 2009 first-round draft pick is finally healthy and producing. In 12 games so far with Tampa and he’s hitting .267 with two home runs, 8 RBI and four stolen bases. 7. Austin Romine, catcher, TBA: The 23-year-old who is on the DL with an inflamed disc in his back, has started catching bullpen sessions. He may be a few weeks away from seeing game action. 8. Dante Bichette Jr., third base, Charleston (A): Bichette was New York’s first pick in 2011 (51st overall) and is batting .252 on the season with one home run and 28 RBI. 9. Cito Culver, shortstop, Charleston (A): A first-round pick in 2010 (32 overall), the 19-year-old switch-hitter contin- ues to get on base at a solid clip for the RiverDogs. On the sea- son, he has a .321 on base per- centage and in his last six games, he’s reached base nine times. 10. Adam Warren, RHP, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (Triple- A): His return to the Yankees from the majors didn’t go so well as he gave up six runs and 10 hits in six innings last week while taking a loss. On the sea- son for SWB, he is 5-6 with a 4.19 ERA in 92 1 ⁄3 innings. YA N K E E S P R O S P E C T S Trio of prospects join Tampa Yanks By DAVE ROSENGRANT [email protected] Just two weeks, the Lehigh Valley IronPigs were in the middle of a four-game losing streak that had them sitting a game behind Pawtucket in the International League North Division. Since that time, the ’Pigs have been on a roll winning eight of 12 and entered Saturday’s action with a three-game lead over the PawSox in the standings. Lehigh Valley got a boost from rehabbing Philadelphia slugger Ryan Howard, who helped the team win all four games he played in. Howard hasn’t been the only player playing a big part for the IronPigs as everyone has been contributing. No. 9 hitter Tug Hulett walloped a grand slam in a win over Scranton/Wilkes- Barre last week. Also for Lehigh Valley, start- ing pitcher Tyler Cloyd learned he was going to start the Tri- ple-A All-Star game for the In- ternational League. The 25-year- old, right-handed Cloyd is 8-1 with a 2.15 ERA in 13 starts for the ’Pigs. When his numbers from Double-A Reading this season are added in, he is 11-1 with a 2.07 ERA in 17 starts. Here are Philadelphia’s top 10 prospects according to MLB.com and how they are faring in 2012. 1. Trevor May, RHP, Reading (Double-A): A fourth-round pick in 2008, he’s shown some com- mand issues in his last two outings walking 10 in 10 innings. But he came out of the stretch with a 1-0 record. For the sea- son, he has a 4.92 ERA with 91 strikeouts in 89 2 ⁄3 innings. 2. Jesse Biddle, LHP, Clear- water (A-Advanced): In two starts over the last week, he went 1-0 allowing five runs in 12 1 ⁄3 as his record improved to 5-3 for the season with an ERA of 3.23. He has also punched out 85 hitters in 83 2 ⁄3innings this sea- son. 3. Brody Colvin, RHP, Clear- water (A-Advanced): In his last three starts, he’s 1-0 while only giving up three runs in 19 in- nings and also struck out 16 in that span. To date for the Threshers, he has a 4.25 ERA with a 4-4 record to go with 75 strikeouts in 82 2 ⁄3 innings. 4. Larry Greene, outfielder, Williamsport: The 19-year-old first-round pick from last June is heating up. Known as a power hitter, he’s still homerless, but he’s hitting .324 (12-for-37) over his last 10 games to raise his average for the season up to .270. He is also getting on base with a .397 on base percentage so far this season in 18 games. 5. Phillippe Aumont, RHP, Lehigh Valley (Triple-A): The 6-foot-7, 260-pound reliever has thrown 4 2 ⁄3 consecutive score- less frames. Currently for the IronPigs, he’s 2-1 with a 4.15 ERA and 10 saves. He’s also fanned 37 in just 26 innings. 6. Sebastian Valle, catcher, Reading (Double-A): The 21- year-old is mired in a little slump hitting just .171 (6-for-35) in his last 10 games. His average has dropped to .250 for the season. He also has nine home runs and 33 RBI. 7. Justin De Fratus, RHP, TBA: On the disabled list, he could begin a rehab assignment this week. 8. Maikel Franco, third base, Lakewood (Class A): The 19- year-old seems to be finding his stroke. During a nine-game hitting streak that ended on Friday he hit .410 (16-for-39). In the span, he’s raised his average more than 20 points to .233. He also has seven homers and 45 RBI this season. 9. Jonathan Pettibone, RHP, Reading (Double-A): The 21- year-old missed his last start with tightness in his groin. He is 7-5 with a 3.27 ERA with 63 strikeouts in 93 2 ⁄3 innings. 10. Roman Quinn, shortstop, Williamsport: The 19-year-old is starting to get on base regularly for the Crosscutters, which pays off for the speedster as he’s stolen five bases in his last nine games. On the season, he’s bat- ting .276 with an on base per- centage of .382 and eight steals in 18 games. P H I L L I E S P R O S P E C T S IronPigs on track after recent streak By DAVE ROSENGRANT [email protected] Today Buffalo 2 p.m. at Syracuse Monday All-Star break Tuesday All-Star Break Wednesday All-Star Game 7 p.m. at Buffalo Saturday Syracuse 7 p.m. at Syracuse Friday at Syracuse 7 p.m. Thursday at Syracuse (DH) 6 p.m. THI S WEEK’ S SWB YANKEES SCHEDUL E Russ Canzler, Hazleton Area, Colum- bus (Cleveland, Triple- A): The Hazleton native, who will participate in the Triple-A All-Star Game for the second straight year, has been heating up as of late as his batting average has ballooned in the last month rising to .276 for the season. He has got a hit in nine of his last 11 games and is hitting .333 (11-for-33) in that span with four home runs and 12 RBI. Also on the season he now has 12 home runs, 48 RBI, 20 dou- bles, two triples and a .335 on base percent- age for the Clippers. In last year’s All-Star Game while playing for Durham, Canzler was the MVP after hitting a game-winning home run. Canzler was original- ly drafted by the Cubs in the 30th round in 2004. He was signed as a minor league free agent by Tampa Bay last year and then traded to Cleveland. Kyle Landis, Hazleton Area, Akron (Cleveland, Double-A): An 18th round pick by the Indians in 2007, the right-handed reliever is having a solid season for the Aeros, putting up a 3.45 ERA in 27 games while striking out 40 in 44 1 ⁄3 innings and posting a 4-3 record with two saves. The right-hander will participate in this week’s Eastern League All-Star Game to be held in Reading on Wednesday. It will be his second all-star appearance as a profes- sional previously partici- pating in the New York/ Penn League contest in 2007. Akron currently has a 4.5 game lead in the Eastern League West Division. Landis had a short stint for Triple-A earlier this season, pitching three innings for the Clippers. His best year in the minors was in 2011, when he combined to go 10-2 with a 2.54 ERA in 42 appearances spanning three affiliates. Cory Spangen- berg, Abington Heights, Lake Elsinore (San Diego, Class A advanced): The 10th overall pick in 2011 by the Padres hasn’t played since June 28 nursing a head injury and is on the disabled list. For the season, the left-handed batting second baseman is batting .288 with one home run, 33 RBI and 21 stolen bases in 27 attempts, to go along with six triples, 11 dou- bles and 40 runs in 67 games. Ray Black, Cough- lin, San Francisco (extended spring train- ing): A power pitcher, Black is nursing a shoulder injury which arose at the end of spring training and he’s been sidelined for about three months. He is still rehabbing in Scottsdale, Ariz. After experiencing soreness, he received a cortisone shot and has begun another throwing program. The seventh-round draft pick (237th over- all) out of the University of Pittsburgh last June is hoping to join the short season Salem- Keizer Volcanoes in Oregon or the Low Class A team in Augusta or possibly join the Arizo- na Rookie League Giants. Rich Thompson, Montrose, Durham (Tampa Bay, Triple-A): A 33-year-old speedy outfielder, is batting .281 with seven RBI and nine stolen bases in 21 games since being sent to the Bulls. For the Rays, he had just one hit in 17 at-bats for the Rays, picked up two stolen bases, scored two runs and knocked one in. Last month, he was traded to Tampa from the Phillies and was immediately called up to the big leagues. Before the trade, he was hitting .307 for Lehigh Valley with seven stolen bases along with an on-base percentage of .390 for the IronPigs. His minor league totals this season include a .294 batting average with 16 stolen bases and an on base percentage of .375. Kyle McMyne, Old Forge, Bakersfield (Cincinnati, Class A Advanced): The right- handed reliever has pitched in 15 games since a promotion from Low-A ball. Taken by the Reds in the fourth round (145th overall) of last year’s draft out of Villanova, he has continued a nice stretch having a seven- inning scoreless streak and allowing just three hits in the seven-game stretch while and earn- ing three saves. For the season for Bakersfield, he has given up nine earned runs in 20 innings, but his ERA dropped by nearly three runs to 4.05 after the impres- sive stretch. He is 1-1 with three saves and 18 strikeouts against nine walks. Overall this season in the minors, he is 4-3 with a 3.25 ERA in 34 games. D I S T R I C T 2 ’ S P R E S E N C E I N P R O F E S S I O N A L B A S E B A L L The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees made their intentions known recently that when the team returns for the 2013 sea- son it wants to be more fan- friendly. Ideas have been taken by members of the organization from people all over Luzerne and Lackawanna counties and it’s also been known that the or- ganization wants to use the Le- high Valley IronPigs’ mold for building a strong relationship with fans. The Phillies Triple-A affiliate located in Allentown is packed with promotions and in-game entertainment every game. But there’s another Philadel- phia affiliate that may be even more gracious with fans than Lehigh Valley. About an hour drive fromAllentown is FirstEn- ergy Stadium in Reading, the home of the Double-A Reading Phillies and the host for Wednesday’s Eastern League All-Star Game. The stadiumtakes on the mo- niker Baseballtown, U.S.A., and for good reason. Promotions are always in full force in Reading and there’s always more than one going on whether it’s a con- cert on the plaza or one of many giveaways. And when there isn’t a band playing live, a disc jockey takes the stage for a performance. Last month when the DJ couldn’t make the showing, Phillies top prospect and R- Phils ace starting pitcher Trevor May showed off his DJ skills. “There’s so much history here, especially since it’s been around so long,” May said. “It’s just a great place to play. It’s a fun atmosphere all the way up (the Phillies farm system). It’s definitely fun to play baseball when there’s an atmosphere ev- ery night.” When entering FirstEnergy Stadium for the first time, fans notice the historic stadium con- cessions in a closed-in setting. Once you make your way to the field, the throwback seats will make sure you are comfortable while watching the game and will make spectators feel like a setting from the old days. The stadium isn’t all about old time settings though. That’s evident by a swimming pool in right field. Once the game begins, there’s more to see than two teams at- tempting to score more runs than the other. Heck, some regulars at Read- ing Phillies games will even say that the focus is more on fans and entertainment than about baseball when you go to a base- ball game. That’s because there’s some- thing to see in between every in- ning. Whether it’s the popular vegetable race – between pa- trons suited up in cauliflower, broccoli, carrot or a lettuce cos- tume – the Crazy Hot Dog Ven- dor throwing franks into the stands or one of many other at- tractions, you’re sure to have a laugh. At most ballparks, if celebrat- ing a birthday, fans will see their name on the outfield board or a similar setting. In Reading, you can throw out the first pitch on your birthday. A winning team is also a part of the winning-with-fans formu- la. Like Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Reading always seems to have a proven club. Especially this sea- son as the R-Phils’ roster con- sists of several top prospects in the organization. In addition to May, fellow pitcher Jonathan Pettibone andcatcher Sebastian Valle are ranked by MLB.com on the Phillies’ top 10 prospect list. The trio has won at every level they have played together and have moved up the ladder together, which works well for their team chemistry. “Lots of guys area really grow- ing into their game. It’s kind of happened for a lot of us,” May added. “It’s fun knowing the guys and it’s easy to have chem- istry when you play with each other and see each other every- day. We’re all friends and we’re always having fun, especially af- ter wins.” Whether going to see an ex- citing team – that wears one of many alternate jerseys – or just in attendance to see one of sev- eral attractions, fans line up out- side the stadium two hours be- fore gametime to get a great ex- perience at the ballpark. That’s something Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre officials would love to see night in and night out, and not by traveling to a nearby venue. More than baseball in Reading By DAVE ROSENGRANT [email protected] SUBMITTED PHOTO Fans flock to FirstEnergy Stadium in Reading everyday for one of numerous promotions or to see a winning ballclub packed with prospects.

Gee (6-7) gave up seven hits without a walk and struck out four to keep up a run of strong starts by Mets pitchers. They’ve gone at least six in- nings in 19 of the past 21 games, and have an ERA of 3.16. Braves 6, Phillies 3 PHILADELPHIA — Tommy Hanson pitched effectively into the eighth, Brian McCann homered and the Atlanta Braves beat the struggling Philadelphia Phillies. Cardinals 3, Marlins 2 ST.

Ciriaco drove in three runs with a bases-clearing double one day after being called up from Pawtucket. Gomez is 8 for 17 in five games since being promoted from the Triple-A team Tuesday night. Andruw Jones hit three homers in the doubleheader, including two of the Yankees’ four in their 6-1 win in the opener in which Freddy Garcia pitched 6 2-3 solid innings in muggy conditions. They added three homers in the nightcap, running their baseball-high total to 133. They’re on a pace for a club-record 255. The 1997 Seattle Mariners hold the ma- jor league record with 264. Tigers 8, Royals 7 DETROIT — Prince Fielder hit a two-run, game-tying homer in the first, Delmon Young had a two-run home run to pad the lead in the seventh inning and the Detroit Tigers held on to beat the Kansas City Royals. Detroit closer Jose Valverde started the ninth with a four- run lead and almost lost it. Valverde walked Alex Gor- don on four pitches to lead off the inning, gave up a double to Alcides Escobar and walked Eric Hosmer to load the bases. All-Star Billy Butler hit a two- run single to pull Kansas City within two runs. Yuniesky Betancourt nearly hit a go- ahead, three-run homer on a fly center fielder Austin Jack- son tracked down near the wall in left-center.

SPECIAL Continued fromPage 1C TUNKHANNOCK – Tunk- hannock swept a doubleheader from Hazleton on Saturday in Wyoming Valley American Le- gion League play winning 4-3 in the first game and 7-5 in the second. In the process, Tunkhannock also cleared up a cloudy playoff picture by securing a spot in the tournament – which begins on Friday – and eliminating Back Mountain, Nanticoke and Swoyersville. Josh McClain pitched a com- plete-game in the opener, while Ryan Goodwin and Rich Con- deelis each had two hits and scored a run. Rich Gawel paced Hazleton’s offense going 3-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI. In the nightcap, Tunkhannock plated runs in the second and fifth innings to pull out the victory. Condeelis laced a pair of doubles scoring a run and driv- ing one in, while Lance Sherry drove in two runs. Anthony Zaloga went 2-for-3 for Hazleton. There are just two games remaining on the league sched- ule and the playoffs are set with Greater Pittston (13-5), Moun- tain Post-B (12-5), Hazleton (12-6) and Tunkhannock (11-7) securing the berths. GP has the top seed and will play Tunk- hannock at 3 p.m. Friday at the Mountain Post field in Rice, Twp. Mountain Post and Hazleton will also play each other, but the second and third seed will be decided after Mountain Post plays Swoyersville this after- noon. That game is slated for 5:30 p.m. Friday as the double- elimination tournament gets underway.

Harper and Bourn were added to the NL roster for Tuesday’s game in Kansas City after two players drop- ped out due to injuries. Both outfielders had lost to David Freese in online voting for one of the final spots. The 19-year-old Harper, a budding star with the Wash- ington Nationals, becomes the youngest position player in the history of the game and third youngest All-Star ever. Bourn, Atlanta’s dynamic leadoff hitter, made the NL All-Star team for the second time. He entered Saturday’s game at Philadelphia with a .305 batting average, seven home- rs, 32 RBIs and 23 stolen bases. Harper, Bourn are added to NL roster INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Ken- tucky Derby and Preakness win- ner I’ll HaveAnother paradedbe- tween races at Betfair Holly- wood Park on Saturday, giving fans at the colt’s home track a chance to cheer him one last time before he heads off to stud duty in Japan. I’ll Have Another made his way from the paddock, where jockey Mario Gutierrez got on wearing purple-and-white silks, through the tunnel and onto the track as fans applauded and waved signs. He walked briefly on the track before entering the winner’s circle for the last time. “He is the local boy made good,” track announcer Vic Stauffer saidas I’ll Have Another bucked. “Thinks he’s running again. He’s all pumped up,” a male fan said. I’ll Have Another’s bid to be- come racing’s first Triple Crown winner in 34 years ended with his sudden retirement on the eve of the June 9 Belmont Stakes be- cause of tendinitis in his left front leg. “I thinkhewouldhavewonthe Belmont if he had the chance,” said Gina Romero, a 45-year-old fan fromPorter Ranch. “I’mglad they put his safety first, that’s the most important thing.” Last month, owner J. Paul Reddam sold the colt to Japa- nese breeders. I’ll Have Another will enter quarantine on Sunday for 30 days before going to his new home at Big Red Farm on the island of Hokkaido. “It’s sad,” trainer Doug O’Neill said. “We all wanted so badly for himtostayintheUnitedStates. I was actually pushing for him to stay in California, but there was just very little interest.” O’Neill plans to take his family to visit the colt in Japan next spring.

In the Tour’s first big shake-up, the Sky squad was dominant up the first summit finish to allow Christopher Froome to win the seventh stage from Tomblaine to La Planche des Belles Filles ski station. The198-kilometer trekintothe Vosges range went a long way to- wardshapingthethree-weekrace as experts predicted before the start — a showdown between Wiggins and defending cham- pion Cadel Evans. Ina five-rider breakaway group on the final climb, Evans tried an attack just before the super-steep climb in the last kilometer, but Froome beat himby two seconds as Wiggins stayed close to the Australian’s back wheel. After the finish, compatriots Wiggins and Froome hugged, with Wiggins becoming the first Briton since David Millar in 2000 to wear the yellow jersey. Cancellara, the Swiss time- trial specialist who had worn the jerseysincewinningtheprologue a week ago, is 1 minute, 52 sec- onds behind Froome —but more importantly1:50backof Wiggins. The Sky leader, who began the day seven seconds behind Can- cellara in second place overall, leads Evans by 10 seconds. Vin- cenzoNibali of Italywas fourthto climb to third overall, 16 seconds behind. “It’s a great day for the team, we won the stage and took the yellow jersey,” Wiggins said. “This is my first time in the yel- low jersey. It’s incredible — it’s been a dream of mine since I was a kid.” Wiggins has more breathing room than Cancellara had over the199 kilometers, with only five riders withinaminuteof his time, including Denis Menchov of Rus- sia, who wonthe 2009 Giro d’Ital- ia andSpanishVuelta in2005 and 2007. The Swiss rider, by con- trast, had had 22 riders within 48 seconds of his time before Satur- day’s ride. Wiggins, a three-time Olympic track gold medalist, became the pre-race favorite after winning the Paris-Nice, Tour de Roman- die and Criterium du Dauphine stage races this year. With two time trials and more climbing days in the Alps and Py- renees still to come, Wiggins played down speculation that he might’ve taken the lead too early withthe finishinParis onJuly 22. “You can’t get too cocky in this race and choose when you take the yellowjersey. I’d much rather be in yellow than in hospital — like half the peloton,” he said, re- ferring to crashes on Friday that forcedat least12riders toquit the race. Wiggins crashed out of the 2011Tour becauseof abrokencol- larbone and said he felt “lucky” he has beentrouble-free this year. Froome was part of the Team Sky phalanx that powered up the final climb. With most rivals fall- ingaway, the Kenyan-bornBriton overcame Evans’ late surge to burst ahead to the finish. “He was really strong. He con- trolled the last two to three ki- lometers well,” Evans said of Froome. “I thought I could antici- pate it thanks tothe turnandgain some speed to launch the sprint, but he had the legs and overtook me.” The 35-year-old Australian senses he’s infor a challenge from Sky. “With Wiggins on a team like that, it’s going to be difficult,” Evans said.

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

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

Ed Staback’s pet project for 20 years, and even though the veteran legislator is retiring this November, the upcoming Junior Shoot- ing Competition that he hosts each September likely won’t be the last. The competition began in 1992 when the term “assault rifle” became popular and semi-automatic sporting arms were lumped into the same category as military rifles. Staback, who is an avid hunter, didn’t agree with the broad label and he got together with other sportsmen to change the image. “We wanted to do something to shed light on what semi-auto sporting arms are all about,” Staback said. “We decid- ed to have a competition for young people to teach them about proper firearm handling and safety.” The first year of the event, which is held at the shooting range on State Game Lands 300 on Archbald Moun- tain, 30 children ages 10 to 18 participa- ted (See Outdoor Notes for more in- formation). Staback said he hoped the event would eventually attract 100 youth annually, and as more organizations got involved so did more kids. Groups such as the Scranton Chapter of the National Rifle Association signed on to help, as did Jerry’s Sports Center in Forest City. Later, firearm manufacturers jumped on board and donated .22’s, 20-gauge shotguns and other small caliber rifles suitable for children. Trophies were handed out to the winners in each age category, plenty of prizes were given away and tons of homemade food was donated to feed everybody. Best of all, it didn’t cost the kids or their families a penny to participate. Soon, the competition grew each year until Staback finally had to limit it to 250 children. “We could get more than 300 easily, but we just can’t handle more than 250,” he said. “By August it’s filled.” Staback himself became so involved in the event that, outside of many of the bills he drafted during his 28 years serving the 115th District, the competi- tion was his “pet project.” “I would do whatever I had to to make sure it was held every year,” he said. Counting parents, Staback said more than 600 people turn out for the event each year. It started out as a way to educate youth about firearms and has evolved into a tradition. And there’s more to it than letting the kids punch holes in targets. Each child is supervised one-on-one by a certified shooting instructor. Gun checks are conducted multiple times before the shooting begins, and Sta- back himself even gives a presentation on gun safety at the start of the day. At the end, after all the trophies and prizes are handed out, Staback said that’s when the true benefit of the competition sets in. “If some of these kids take this expe- rience and decide they want to try hunting or stay involved in shooting sports, they will be well-schooled in proper firearm handling and safety,” Staback said. “That’s key.” Although Staback will retire this November from the state legislature, he will continue to be involved in the annual competition. “I’ve been at it for 20 years and I enjoy it more each year,” Staback said. “I love the feeling you get when a child wins one of the prizes or a trophy. They take it seriously and learn about gun safety in the process. “That’s why we’ll continue to keep it going as long as we can.” Two hundred and fifty kids are glad to hear that.

With less than 10 minutes to fish in the first week of the Wednesday Night Bass Tournament at Harveys Lake on June 20, Brad Rinehimer wasn’t ready to give up. He already had one bass in the livewell but knew it wasn’t big enough to win the tournament, so Rinehimer made a few more casts toward the docks. And that’s when it struck. “At first I just felt weight and wasn’t sure if it was a fish,” the Ply- mouth resident said. “I set the hook, reeled in and when he came out of the water with his mouth open, I knew I had a tournament winner.” But Rinehimer wasn’t in the clear just yet. The fish hit at 8:54 p.m. and the weigh-in was in six minutes. If Rinehimer didn’t make it back to the boat launch by 9 p.m., he wouldn’t qualify. “My heart started pounding and the fish began diving under the boat and really fighting. I was so nervous it was going to get off,” he said. Rinehimer was able to get the fish in the boat and make it back to the launch at 8:59 p.m. The largemouth weighed in at 5.75 lbs. and was nearly a pound heavier than the second place bass, which weighed 4.81 lbs. “It was the biggest fish I ever caught and to do it in a tournament at Harveys Lake, it was a moment I’ll never forget,” Rinehimer said. During the first three weeks of the Harveys Lake tournament, the win- ning bass has either pushed or ex- ceeded the five-pound mark each time. Greg Mikulski Jr. of Sweet Valley finished second to Rinehimer in the first week with a 4.81-pound large- mouth. “It’s really off to a good start and there are a lot of nice fish in this lake,” Mikulski said. “Even the smallmouth bass can get big and quite often they’ll win the tourna- ment.” Last Tuesday, the hot start to the tournament season at the lake con- tinued with a 4.87 lb. largemouth caught by George Hogan taking first place. The tournament was shifted from its customary Wednesday night slot due to the July 4 holiday. Duke Dalley, who coordinates the tournament with John Niezgoda, isn’t surprised with the size or the number of fish brought in to the weigh-in each week. “I fish the lake a lot at night and in the early morning, and I’ve been catching a lot of nice fish so far,” Dalley said. Niezgoda said the tournament traditionally gets off to a hot start, especially with lunker largemouths, then changes after the fourth or fifth week. “Then you’ll start to see small- mouth bass winning each week,” Niezgoda said. “That’s what makes fishing here interesting. You have both largemouth and smallmouth bass in this lake, so it’s unique.” Dalley and Niezgoda took over the tournament after it was close to coming to an end before the start of this summer. They’ve attracted close to 20 boats each week, and as word gets out that the tournament is up and running, Dalley and Niezgoda expect the numbers to increase. “This is a tradition and guys really like to fish this tournament,” Niez- goda said. “You really have some dedicated anglers fishing this lake who know what they’re doing, and that makes for good competition.” Mikulski has fished the Wednes- day night tournament – which has been organized by different individu- als over the years, for the last 10 years. He is joined by family mem- bers Greg Mikulski Sr., Gary Mikul- ski and friends Mike and Steve Phil- lips. “We all come out every week,” he said. “It’s something to do on a Wednesday and it’s a chance to fish and win a couple of bucks.” It’s also an opportunity to experi- ence an exceptional bass fishery that is close to home, Rinehimer added. “The anglers in this tournament are so dedicated and it’s great hav- ing a lake this close where you can catch quality fish,” he said. “People travel to Tennessee to catch small- mouths that are five pounds or more, and we have them right here in Harveys Lake.” Niezgoda said the lake offers a variety of structure for different types of bass fishing, and most an- glers focus on casting around docks or fishing the weedlines, deep or shallow. While he hopes interest grows and attracts more anglers, Niezgoda said the tournament has caught the at- tention of the locals who live around the lake. “We get spectators at the weigh- ins and people come out on the docks all the time to ask how we’re doing and what we’re catching,” Niezgoda said. “They want to see the quality of fish that are found in Harveys Lake.” Anglers reel in prizes at Harveys Lake event CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK PHOTOS/FOR THE TIMES LEADER Savannah Coombs, Dallas, finally gets a handle on this 2.38 lb. smallmouth bass she caught in her first tournament at Harveys Lake on Tuesday night.

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

A historic matchup UP NEXT Andy Murray vs. Roger Federer 9 a.m. today, ESPN By STEVEN WINE AP Sports Writer court trophy ceremony. And why Williams squeezed tight during post-victory hugs with her par- ents and older sister Venus, who has five Wimbledon titles of her own — meaning that one pair of siblings who learned to play ten- nis on public courts in Compton, Calif., now accounts for 10 of the past 13 trophies. A few days after winning Wim- bledonforthefourthtimein2010, Serena Williams cut both feet on broken glass while leaving a res- taurant in Germany. She needed two operations on her right foot. Then she got blood clots in her lungs, for which she needed to in- ject herself with a blood thinner. Those shots ledto a pool of blood gathering under her stomach’s skin, requiring another proce- dure. “That made her realize where her life was, really, and where she reallybelongedandthatshereally loved the game,” said Williams’ mother, Oracene Price. “You nev- er appreciate anything until you almost lose it.” Against Radwanska, who was trying to be the first PolishGrand Slamsingles champion, Williams was streaky at times, but also su- perb. She wonthe first five games and the last five. She compiled a 58-13 landslide of winners. She swatted17 aces, including four at 114 mph, 107 mph, 115 mph, 111 mph in one marvelous game to pull even at 2-all in the third set. That was part of a momentum- swinging run when Williams claimed 15 of 18 points, and that quartet of aces raisedher total for the fortnight to a tournament-re- cord 102, surpassing her own mark of 89 in 2010; it’s also more than the top number for any man this year at Wimbledon. “So many aces,” said Radwan- ska, whosetwo-weektotal was16, “andI couldn’t domuchabout it.” Therehadbeenamoment, ever so brief, when it appeared Wil- liams might let Saturday’s match slip away. After she breezed throughthefirstsetonadaywhen the wind whipped and the tem- perature was in the mid-50s, rain arrived, causing a delay of about 20 minutes betweensets. Radwanska, who’s been fight- ing a respiratory illness and blew her nose at a changeover, quickly fell behind 3-1 in the second set. Right there is where she made a stand. Williams was playing in her 18th major final; Radwanska in her first. Actually, she’d never won a match beyond the fourth round at a Grand Slam tourna- ment until this week. So she ac- knowledged being “a little bit nervous inthe beginning.” But the interruption let her “cool down a little bit,” explained Radwanska, who would have ris- entoNo.1intherankingsbybeat- ing Williams but instead will be No. 2, behind Victoria Azarenka. “When I was going on the court the second time, I just felt like a normal match. Didn’t seemlike a final anymore, so there was not that muchpressure.” Radwanska played her usual steady game, andWilliams began making more and more errors. A string of mistakes — swinging volley into the net, double-fault, backhandlong, backhandintothe net — let Radwanska break to even the match at one set apiece. What appearedtobearather drab final, bereft of anydrama, sudden- ly became interesting. “She got a little nervous out there, in my opinion. In the sec- ond set, I think she might have thought, ‘Well, I got this here,”’ saidWilliams’ father, Richard. He alsosuspectedhis daughter might have been feeling a twinge of self-doubt connected to her quick exit in late May at the French Open against a woman ranked111th, Williams’ only first- roundlossin48careermajortour- naments. Williams’ explanation for her dip against Radwanska? “I just got too anxious,” she said, “andIshouldn’thavebeenso anxious.” SERENA Continued fromPage 1C At a glance WIMBLEDON, England — A look at Wimbledon on Saturday: Weather: Brief rain.

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

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

As microchips grew smaller -- and their fabrication grew more complex -- Glass and his colleagues traded their lab coats for ultra-clean “bun- ny” suits. Even then, in these facto- ries that rode on the cutting edge of manufacturing technology, it still took humans to move wafers -- slices of semiconductor materials -- from one machine to the next. Today, even the bunny suits are dwindling. Glass gets the same ques- tion virtually every time he leads a tour of Samsung Austin Semiconduc- tor’s factory: Where are all the peo- ple? “All those old entry-level positions have been replaced by robots,” said Glass, the facility’s curriculum strat- egist. “An operator position is much higher and more technically ad- vanced than it used to be. That per- son now sits in front of computer in- stead of moving wafers by hand.” Samsung rarely hires anybody with less than an associate’s degree, he said. The same workforce changes Glass has witnessed in the past three dec- ades have become increasingly symp- tomatic of a deeper transformation across the country’s middle-tier oc- cupations. The swath of middle-skills jobs that once supported a robust Amer- ican middle class has thinned, lead- ing to more polarization of the job market. In the past three decades, middle-skills occupations have drop- ped from nearly 60 percent of total U.S. employment to about 45 per- cent, according to research by Mas- sachusetts Institute of Technology economics professor David Autor. The real bulk of job growth is bub- bling up at the ends of the spectrum-- in low-pay, low-skill jobs and in high- er-wage, highly skilled occupations that more and more often require at least a four-year college degree. Particularly in comparison with Midlevel jobs go missing as market changes By DAN ZEHR Austin American-Statesman See MISSING, Page 2D ATLANTA -- Those smartphones andBlackBerrys that enable workany- time, anywhere are increasingly blur- ring the lines between work life and personal life — and introducing the sticky issue of when overtime is owed to workers. The always-connected worker and the pressures of the uncertain econo- my have led many to feel they should always be working — because they can, thanks to the growing use of smartphones. That’s allowing work to bleed into evenings, weekends and even sleep, with some people taking their phones and BlackBerrys to bed with them. The situation be- comes tricky for hourly employees, whoqualifyfor over- time. “We’ve gotten in- to a place in our cul- ture where the more you work, the better it is, and the more you should be proud of it,” said attorney Amanda Farahany. “And so people don’t want to assert their overtime right.” Overtime laws are abused by com- panies “on a daily basis,” she said. But in some cases, that has led to lawsuits, seekingpayfor what is some- times called “BlackBerry overtime” or “electronic overtime.” For employers, “that’s an area of ex- posure and it’s coming like a freight train,” said attorney David Long-Da- niels. By giving hourly employees BlackBerrys or access through iCon- nect or Citrix, “you’ve implicitly told them to work,” he said. Long-Daniels advises companies not to allow hourly employees and others who qualify for overtime to use BlackBerrys or remote access to their work computers, unless they’re toldto record time when using the devices andthe company has a systeminplace to record the hours. Overtime problems popping up By KELLY YAMANOUCHI Atlanta Journal-Constitution See OVERTIME, Page 2D The always- connected worker and the pressures of the un- certain econ- omy have led many to feel they should always be working — because they can, thanks to the growing use of smart- phones. M ONTPELIER, Vt. —Consumers will pay a little more for coffee and chocolate to ensure the farmers who produce those foods get a fair wage, so why not ask them to pay more for milk? That is the notion behind a program designed to raise money for struggling NewEngland dairy farms while edu- cating consumers about those family businesses. Keep Lo- cal Farms urges colleges, universities and other institu- tions in NewEngland to charge a little more for milk, with the extra money going to farmers in the region. It is among a number of nongov- ernment programs being set up to try to preserve small, family-operat- edfarms as consolidationcontinues in the dairy industry. While Ver- mont is best known for its milk and cheese products, dairy farms stretch across New England. But two-thirds haveclosedinthepast 30 years because low milk prices have made it hard for farmers to cover their feed, fuel and labor costs. Some supporters are trying to help save the rest by borrowing a page from the fair trade movement. Consumers who buy products la- beled as fair trade pay a little bit more to provide workers with de- cent wages and sound environmen- tal practices. Coffee and chocolate are among the most common fair trade items. Keep Local Farms — set up in 2009, a year of record lowmilk pric- es paid to farmers — figured the same idea could work in the dairy industry Six colleges and universities signed up, including Harvard and the University of Vermont, which contribute10 cents for every single- serving container of milk sold. Bos- ton Medical Center, Ski Vermont, someBen&Jerry’s scoopshops and others also contribute to the pro- gram, while others, such as Roche Brothers and Hannaford supermar- kets, have displayed signs about the importance of local dairy farms to AP PHOTO The Keep Local Farms program — set up in 2009, a year of record low milk prices paid to farmers —urges colleges, universities and other institutions in New England to charge a little more for their milk, with the proceeds going to dairy farmers in the region.

There isn’t re- ally an example of this kind of program for dairy at least,” said Diane Bothfeld, deputy secreta- ry of the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, which worked with the New England Family Dairy Farms Cooperative and the New EnglandDairy PromotionBoard to launch the program. In Wisconsin, another top dairystate, FamilyFarmDefend- ers sells fair trade cheese for about $6 a pound, guaranteeing that the farmers whoprovide the milk get paid $3 for every pound sold. The farmers set the price to cover the cost of productionplus a living wage. The group sells $30,000 to $50,000 worth of cheese each year, providing about 30 farms withanestimated$500to$1,000 a year, executive director John Peck said. The challenge is ex- panding the sales, he said. In Vermont, where farming is tied to tourism, residents want to help farmers, said Marie Au- det, who with her husband owns Blue Spruce Farm in Bridport. Their farmwas one of the first in the state to produce electricity from methane gas from cow ma- nure. Green Mountain Power cus- tomers who want to support such renewable energy projects pay a premium on their electric- itybills, withthe moneygoingto help dairy farmers buy genera- tors that run on methane. “They don’t have to do that, but they knowthat part of being in Vermont is the open working landscape,” Audet said. Still, Robert Cropp, a dairy marketing specialist and profes- sor emeritus at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, doubted most people would pay more for milk or other products to sup- port family farms. “Most consumers are far re- moved from the farm,” Cropp said. “They don’t understand agriculture and how food is pro- duced and things of this sort.” Keep Local Farms raised $220,000 over two years. After paying taxes, it sent $100 checks to 1,370 farms — or about 75 percent of the dairies left in New England. It’s rethinking that ap- proach after hearing from farm- ers, and might provide grants that could help multiple farms rather than individual pay- ments. “We hadfar more success than we expected, and yet it wasn’t enough to be meaningful to the pockets of dairy farmers on a long-term basis,” said Gary Wheelock, executive director of the New England Dairy Promo- tion Board. He added, “What we heard over and over ... was we want to enhance public understanding about who we are and what we do. The money’s great, but if we don’t have a license to farm, if people don’t understandwho we are, andour abilitytofarminour local communities is reduced, it threatens the viability of our farms.” MILK Continued from Page 1D the wide and growing cross- section of the population who possess low- or midlevel skills, the country faces a “hollowing out” of the job market’s middle tier, as MIT’s Autor described it. Though economists debate the severity of the changes, few argue that a mismatch ex- ists -- a mismatch that presents a critical economic, social and political challenge. Definitions of this middle tier can vary, in part because “middle-skills” and “middle- wage” don’t always refer to the same set of occupations. Broadly speaking, though, middle-skills jobs require more than high-school diplomas -- whether that’s specialized on- the-job training or formal cer- tifications, such as associate’s degrees. High-skill jobs typi- cally require four-year college degrees. “It’s a different middle now, and we have to change our thinking about what constitu- tes the middle,” said Harry Holzer, public policy professor at Georgetown University. “Middle-wage jobs almost all require some sort of post-sec- ondary training, like an associ- ate’s degree.” Holzer doesn’t see as much hollowing-out as Autor, but he agreed that technology might be the biggest culprit in the contraction of middle-tier jobs. According to Autor’s research, computers and robots have re- placed many “routine” tasks, many of them clerical (re- placed by information technol- ogy) or manufacturing (re- placed by robotic technolo- gies). Employment at the ends of the skills and wages range grew from 1979 to 2009, Autor found. But over the same peri- od, middle-skills jobs dipped to 45.7 percent of total U.S. employment -- down from 57.3 percent. Economic downturns have been especially hard on this middle tier, according to eco- nomics associate professors Nir Jaimovich at Duke Univer- sity and Henry Siu at the Uni- versity of British Columbia. Since the mid-1980s, they found, 92 percent of the job loss in middle-skills occupa- tions occurred within 12 months of a recession. And job- less recoveries, such as the one the nation is in now, are almost solely due to the disappear- ance of midtier jobs, they said. MISSING Continued from Page 1D Among the lawsuits over elec- tronic overtime is one filed last year in U.S. District Court in At- lanta against Amerisave Mort- gage Corp. by former employ- ees. In the case, which has been granted conditional class-action status, senior mortgage proces- sors claimthey routinely worked more than 40 hours a week with- out getting overtime, and that Amerisave was aware employ- ees used their phones and other devices to answer calls and email but did not track the time. Amerisave denies those allega- tions. The discovery period just ended in that case. Jason Zulauf and his brother, Jeffrey Zulauf, who are among the workers suing Amerisave, saidtheyworkedoncommission and didn’t realize they could qualify for overtime. Jason Zulauf said the comput- er system Amerisave employees used to work from home would automatically clock themout af- ter 40 hours, but they were told by managers to “back down” their hours — or adjust them downward—sotheycouldwork more hours to make more com- mission. An attorney representing Amerisave, Jeff Mokotoff, said the company has “clear, une- quivocal written policies that re- quire the employees to recordall the time that they work.” The Zulaufs said they worked as many as 15 to 16 hours a day, sixdays a week. “We hadnolife,” Jason Zulauf said. “It took a lot of time away from our families.” Farahany, who is the Zulaufs’ attorney, said that “most people don’t realize the rights they have under the overtime laws.” The overtime law, part of the Fair Labor Standards Act, was enacted during the Great De- pressionto“make it more expen- sive for anemployer tomake one person work more than to sim- ply hire another person,” Faraha- ny said. “Over time, companies have simply erodedthat law, and we’re back in a place now where employees are out of work.” Companies call that increased productivity, a driver of econom- ic growth. Farahany contends that if companies follow the overtime law, “It will bring people back to work. It worked in the Great De- pression.” The Amerisave case follows similar cases in other parts of the country, including one filed against T-Mobile USA Inc. in 2009, in which employees and former employees alleged they were given company BlackBer- rys or smart phones and “re- quired to review and respond to T-Mobile-relatedemails andtext messages at all hours of the day, whether or not they were punched into T-Mobile’s com- puter-based timecard system.” In a complaint filed against commercial real estate firm CB Richard Ellis, an employee claimed he and other employees were given BlackBerrys and oth- er devices to access work-related emails. OVERTIME Continued from Page 1D MCT PHOTO Fred Karlinsky, 44, right, is a workaholic and constantly on his PDA, Blackberry, or both. He is shown with his wife Autumn, center, and children Spencer, 4, left, and Allie. “We’ve gotten into a place in our culture where the more you work, the better it is, and the more you should be proud of it. And so people don’t want to assert their overtime right.” Attorney Amanda Farahany Q.: I share an office with a woman who makes all kinds of irritating noises. She is constantly coughing, burping and clearing her throat. I have mentioned this problem in a nice way, but she contin- ues to do it. Our supervisor has not been helpful at all. I know I should not let this get to me, but these sounds are so disruptive that I can’t concentrate on my work. Af- ter listening to her for eight hours, I go home stressed and angry every day. I am about to lose my mind. What can I do? A.: While these ongoing physical rumblings could cer- tainly be annoying, I’m afraid the real issue is your overre- action to them. If you are al- lowing this rather minor is- sue to make you “stressed and angry every day,” then you are really blowing it out of proportion. You may not realize that one contributing factor in this situation is your own sensitivity to sound. Physio- logically, people vary quite a bit in their ability to screen out background noise. Some can easily ignore it, while others, such as yourself, are acutely aware of every sound in the room. If your office mate was playing a radio or using a speakerphone, you could rea- sonably ask her to reduce the volume, but these bodily re- sponses are largely beyond her control. The key to seren- ity, therefore, is learning to manage your own emotional reactions, because right now you are primed to be angry at the first hint of a cough. To distract yourself, try us- ing headphones or playing a radio at low volume. When you hear noises emanating from the other side of the room, just shift your atten- tion to the music. If you keep this up, it will eventually be- come a habit, and you will be able to go home in a calmer state of mind. Q: I work for a temporary service, but I’m often over- looked for the best assign- ments. Many of my co-work- ers get full-time positions, while I usually work only a couple of days a week. Some- times the placement supervi- sor says there are no jobs available, then I later find out this wasn’t true. I have been with this ser- vice a long time, but senior- ity doesn’t seem to matter. A new employee was recently given a great assignment that would have been perfect for me. How can I get them to give me more work? A: While you may be fo- cused on seniority, your agency is only concerned with performance. Because pleasing customers is their primary goal, the most highly rated employees are likely to receive the prime positions. Your lack of work may indi- cate that management has concerns about your compe- tence, your attitude, or your work habits. Since management’s opin- ion of you will be based on both customer feedback and their own observations, you must be consistently pleas- ant, professional and depend- able in all your business transactions. But if you feel that you have no problems in this regard, then you should simply ask what you can do to get better assignments and pay close attention to the an- swer.

C M Y K THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com SUNDAY, JULY 8, 2012 PAGE 3D ● ➛ B U S I N E S S MarketPulse STAYING STILL Big swings in the market tested investors last year, and many retirement investors reacted by doing nothing. Among those with 401(k) plans at Vanguard, for example, only 11 percent made a trade in their account. That’s the lowest level since Vanguard began tracking the data in 1999. One reason may be that more investors are opting for target-date retirement funds that gradually shift from stocks to bonds as retirement nears. DEEP IMPACT JPMorgan Chase (JPM) wasn’t the worst stock in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index last quarter, but it caused the most damage. That’s because of the way the index is calculated, where changes in a company’s mar- ket size carry more weight than its stock price. So even though Alpha Natural Resources (ANR) plunged 43 percent, the most in the index, it had a minor impact on investors of S&P 500 index funds. The company’s small size meant it lost $1.5 billion in market value, just 0.3 percent of the index’s drop last quarter. JPMorgan Chase, meanwhile, fell by $40 billion. It alone accounted for 9 percent of the index’s drop. AP RICH SPENDING Financial analysts are getting more doubtful that the wealthy will keep spending. Volatile stock markets mean wealthy shoppers are more cautious, and Europe’s economic troubles could mean fewer tourists visiting U.S. de- partment stores, says Citi ana- lyst Deborah Weinswig. She recently downgraded Saks (SKS), Bloomingdale’s parent Macy’s (M) and Nordstrom (JWN) on worries about slow- ing spending. Sales at luxury retailers, though, did perform better than others during June. Saks’ revenue at stores open more than a year rose 6 percent.

Much of Europe is in a recession, so the continent might not seem an obvious place to find strong earn- ings. But the co-manager of IVA Worldwide and IVA International is finding opportunities in stocks of small- to mid-sized European companies that generate plenty of their sales outside of Europe. Here’s de Vaulx’s take on invest- ing in Europe as its leaders strug- gle to contain the continent’s debt crisis. Where does a value inves- tor find opportunity in Europe these days? You must be very selective. What has been striking around the world and in Europe is how the markets have recently been efficient at dis- criminating between high-quali- ty defensive stocks versus more mediocre or cyclical business- es. Examples of such defensive stocks include global food compa- nies, such as Nestle and Sodexo, and Diageo, the United Kingdom- based liquor producer. The prices of some of these stocks have risen so much that they’re at or near all-time highs. At IVA, we have a bias toward high- quality businesses. We’d rather pay up for quality than try to pay as little as possible at the risk of buying into mediocre business- es. So unfortunately, we haven’t been able to buy the highest-qual- ity businesses in Europe because they haven’t come down in price enough for us. So what’s a good alternative to large-cap, high-quality Europe- an stocks? We’ve been looking at small- and mid-cap stocks. Those stocks are less liquid and traded less fre- quently, and they’ve declined to the point where they’ve become cheaper than the larger names. One that we like is Teleperfor- mance, a French-based glob- al company that operates call centers. The bulk of their profits come from the U.S. Then there’s a French conglomerate called Lagardere Groupe, and Cap Gem- ini, an information technology ser- vices company. Some of these names have come down in price enough that we find them quite at- tractive. What about European bank stocks, which have struggled during the debt crisis? We bought very small position late last year in Switzerland-based UBS. It’s a very well-capitalized bank, especially with its strong pri- vate wealth business. But we’ve looked at Spanish banks like Ban- co Santander, and the French and German banks, and they strike us as grossly undercapitalized. We are appalled by how slowly Euro- pean regulators and policymak- ers have moved since early 2009. They forgot to force banks to re- capitalize. American policymakers did much better in early 2009 forc- ing many U.S. banks to recapital- ize. Where to find value in European stocks InsiderQ&A AP Who he is: Chief investment officer of Interna- tional Value Advisers. What he suggests: Stocks of many small- to mid-sized European companies Answers edited for content and clarity. Charles de Vaulx What separates the winners from the rest of the pack in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index, or the losers for that matter? It’s all about profits, or at least expectations for the strength of future profits. In the second quarter, the three biggest winners all rose more than 40 percent because the companies are enjoying, or are expected to experience greater product demand. The losers all fell 40 percent or greater on worries that previous earnings expecta- tions were overly optimistic.

LocalStocks Sources: S&P Indices; FactSet Data through July 3 Dividends keep rising, and payouts increased by a net of $12 billion last quarter, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices. That’s good news for yield-hungry investors who are getting scant interest from their bonds. Dividend stocks are more volatile than bonds, but many now carry high- er yields. A10-year Treasury note yields about 1.6 per- cent, down from 5.2 percent five years ago. This screen shows the companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index that have at least doubled their divi- dends so far this year. Leading the list is software com- pany CATechnologies, which announced in January that it would quintuple its dividend as part of a program that also authorized up to $1.5 billion in stock buybacks.

In most cases, the company will have to sell off assets to raise money to pay creditors. The proceeds usu- ally won’t be enough to pay all prioritized creditors in full, so credi- tors might accept a reduced amount of money, and/or some stock in the new, reorganized company. Meanwhile, holders of common stock in the company are not any- where near the front of the line. They’re behind debt holders, mer- chant creditors, trustees, employees, the IRS and even preferred-stock shareholders, and their shares usu- ally end up worthless. Even insid- ers’ stock stakes usually do. Some companies in Chapter 11 do emerge from it and survive (such as Western Union and Delta Airlines) — but many don’t (think Enron, Worldcom and Polaroid). And with those that do, it’s rare for shareholders to benefit. Some of those that survive, like Lehman Brothers, just end up in trouble again. Steer clear of companies in trouble. (Motley Fool newsletters have recommended General Motors and Western Union.) K_\ Dfkc\p =ffc KXb\ Invest With Warren Buffett When you hear “Berkshire Hatha- way” (NYSE: BRK-B), you’ll prob- ably think “Warren Buffett.” Buffett is only one part of why Berkshire Hathaway might be a key compo- nent of your portfolio, though. At its core, Berkshire Hathaway is an insurance company, owning the gecko-fronted GEICO, as well as more specialized insurance opera- tions. But it’s also a railroad opera- tor, having bought BNSF. And it’s a chocolatier, with See’s Candies. It’s also an energy utility, a paint company, an underwear manufac- turer, a furniture seller, a modular- home builder, a fine-jewelry seller, a boot maker and much more. (You’ll find a list of its subsidiaries at berkshirehathaway.com.) It’s also an asset manager, with a massive stock portfolio that includes some big positions. Indeed, it owns 8.8 percent of the whole Coca-Cola company, 7.6 percent of Wells Fargo, 5.5 percent of IBM and 13 percent of American Express. (By the way, The Motley Fool owns shares of these compa- nies — and Berkshire Hathaway itself — and/or has recommended them in its newsletters.) Despite all his stock holdings, Buffett greatly prefers to buy entire companies and let their talented managers keep running them, sending the cash they generate to Omaha, for him to invest elsewhere. Berkshire offers high-quality diver- sity with great long-term promise.

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

A company typically files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection only when it’s having trouble paying its bills and has little choice. Under Chapter 11, it can continue to oper- ate while it reorganizes. With any luck, it will get its act together and become stronger than before, as General Motors has done. If the company cannot gener- ate enough capital to pay off its creditors, it will likely end up in Chapter 7 — getting liquidated. In Chapter 11, the company remains in possession of its assets, under the administration of a court- appointed trustee. It must file a plan of reorganization with the bank- ruptcy court. If any creditors are to receive less than full value for their claims, they can vote on the matter. After the vote, the court can accept or reject the plan. Thus, the company has some flexibility, but if it deals ©2012 THE MOTLEY FOOL/DIST. BY UNIVERSAL UCLICK (FOR RELEASE 7/5/2012) Write to us!

C M Y K VIEWS S E C T I O N E THE TIMES LEADER SUNDAY, JULY 8, 2012 timesleader.com CAMDEN – SOUTH CAROLINA politics never fails to amuse – and bemuse. A recent ethics imbroglio between Republican Gov. Nikki Haley and GOP activist John Rainey is a case in point. The squabble would be of passing provincial interest if Haley weren’t a rising star often mentioned on lists of potential vice presidential candi- dates. And had she not called Rainey, a nationally recognized philanthropist and community bridge-builder, a “racist, sexist bigot.” Such charges deserve clarification and context. Haley made the remarks during a state House Ethics Committee hear- ing that was prompted by a com- plaint Rainey filed alleging that Ha- ley had lobbied illegally while she was a legislator. Haley has been clear- ed of any wrongdoing and there’s no need to re-litigate here, though Rain- ey promises that the issue is not dead. Meanwhile, her invectives toward Rainey, though perhaps understan- dable given an exchange between them (about which more anon), are contradicted by his record. Rainey is anything but racist, sexist or bigoted. Haley’s feelings apparently had been hurt during her one meeting with Rainey while she was a guberna- torial candidate. She had sought the meeting, doubtless hoping for fi- nancial and political support, but Rainey was skeptical. He knew noth- ing about her at the time, he told me, and couldn’t find anyone who did. Everyone he spoke to said the same thing in so many words: “I don’t know anything about her, but I know she’s the party’s candidate and I sup- port her.” “That,” Rainey told me, “is the kind of thing that makes me want to throw up.” Party loyalty over all other considerations is what ails American politics, he said. In questioning Haley at the meet- ing, Rainey indicated that all cards needed to be on the table, that he didn’t want to find out at some point that her family had ties to terrorists. Haley, who is of Sikh Indian descent, clearly took offense. Nevertheless, she wrote a nice note to him, Rainey said, remarking that she never showed any indication of offense during their meeting until he raised questions about her lobbying activities. “That was the end of the meeting,” Rainey said, but his curi- osity was further piqued. He began probing her past and raised questions about what he viewed as ethical transgressions. Rainey doesn’t recall making the specific “terrorist” remark, but takes the word of others present that he did. Any such comment, he insists, would have been in a “jocular, expan- sive fashion,” rather than mean-spirit- ed. Rainey is known to be outspoken and irreverent, but also as a scrapper for fairness and reconciliation. Com- ments offered in jest or offhandedly nonetheless can be wounding, which Rainey acknowledges and now has experienced. Inarguably, the governor’s charges, made publicly and aimed at a citizen, albeit a powerful one, are far more damaging than whatever Rainey said during a private meeting. Judge as you might, but consider the following facts before accepting Haley’s in- dictment of Rainey. For no personal gain, Rainey fre- quently has raised money and orga- nized groups in common cause across party lines. He and wife, Anne, marched in 2000 with 46,000 others to protest the Confederate flag, which then flew atop the South Car- olina Capitol dome. He personally hosted several private meetings with NAACP and legislative leaders to find a compromise for the flag’s removal. He served as executive producer COMMENTARY K A T H L E E N P A R K E R Judge based on deeds, not words See PARKER, Page 2E CAN YOU say why America is the greatest country in the world? The ques- tion proceeds of course, from an assumption, i.e., that America is, indeed, the greatest nation on Earth. When it is posed by a chip- per college student to Will McAvoy, the dyspeptic cable news anchor played by Jeff Daniels in the new HBO series “The Newsroom,” he gores that assumption with acid glee. By no standard – or at least, no standard he cares to acknowledge – does McA- voy believe America is still the world’s greatest nation. Freedom? That’s hardly unique, he says, noting that Canada, the United King- dom, France, Germany and Japan are all free. And he ticks off a number of other measures – literacy, life expectancy, math, exports, infant mortality – by which, he says, America now lags much of the world. Therefore, he says, Amer- ica is, in fact, not the great- est nation on the planet. There is something telling and true in the crestfallen expressions with which the audience greets that declara- tion. It’s as if someone has switched off the sun. America believes in noth- ing quite so deeply as its own greatness. There is something quin- tessentially us about that belief. The Japanese, we might presume, love Japan. Surely the Canadians feel a swelling pride at the sight of their flag and the Spanish stand a little straighter at the playing of their national anthem. But does any other nation feel the need to so routinely assure itself and remind others that it is the most excellent of them all? “America,” says Sean Han- nity with numbing regu- larity, is “the best, greatest nation God has ever given man on the face of the Earth.” It might be said, that the seed of American great- ness lies in the very need to be great, to raise the foam index finger and chant “USA! USA!” – to live up to our own self-image. Unfortunately, the seed of American self-delusion lies in the same place. To read the test scores, to watch the clown show that passes for TV news, to walk the board- ed up streets of downtown Wherever, USA., to talk to a father about his kids’ future, is to take the fictional news anchor’s point: Namely, that there is something sad about yelling, “We’re number one!” when you are, in fact, not. But – and a character on the show reminds McAvoy of this – we can be, always. The potential of it lies in America’s endless capacity for reinvention, the path to it in America’s matchless sense of mission. The nation always has risen to the chal- lenge of greatness when it had a goal, a purpose to unite behind, a thing to get done. That is the story of the Revolution, the Union victory, the Great Depres- America the greatest? Not without a mission. COMMENTARY LEONARD PI TTS J R.

As they brace for the eventual needs of the aging baby boom generation, hospice providers are working to diversify their services and dispel miscon- ceptions about what they do. Chief among those myths is the notion that hospice consists of friendly visitors who sit in a darkened room and hold Grandma’s hand while she dies, says Robin Stawasz, family services di- rector at Southern Tier Hos- pice and Palliative Care in upstate New York. “It’s just not what we do. We come in and help people go golfing or go snowbird down to Florida, or go out to dinner several nights a week. We help them get to the casinos on weekends,” she said. “This is not getting ready todie. This is living — living now, living tomorrow, making the best possible life with what you have.” According to the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, an estimated 1.58 million patients re- ceived hospice care from more than 5,000 programs nationwide in 2010, more than double the number of patients serveda decade ear- lier. More than 40 percent of all deaths in the United States that year were under the care of hospice, which provides medical care, pain management, and emotion- al and spiritual support to patients with terminal ill- nesses. Both figures have grown steadily and are expected to rise as baby boomers — the “This is not getting ready to die.

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

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

Candidate Barack Obama visited one of those schools and cited the corri- dor in campaign speeches. In 1999, Rainey chaired the fundraising committee for the African-American History Monument on Statehouse grounds. In 2002, while chairman of Brookgreen Gardens, he raised funds to erect a World War I dough- boy statue in Columbia’s Memorial Park and spon- sored a bust of a 54th Mas- sachusetts Infantry African- American soldier. He re- ceived the sixth annual I.

Latest to the roster is a sculpture Rainey has com- missioned honoring two Camden natives, financier Bernard Baruch and baseball great Larry Doby. Baruch was a philanthropist, states- man and consultant to presi- dents (Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt). Doby was the first African-Amer- ican in the American League and was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1998. The sculpture, which will be unveiled next April, is a monument not only to two local heroes, but also to the sort of reconciliation Rainey represents. His record speaks louder than words.

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

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

KEVIN BLAUM I N T H E A R E N A O LYMPIC DREAMS WILL crystallize, or crumble, lat- er this month in London as the Games of the XXX Olympiad get under way. Inspired by the pending ar- rival of this international sporting contest, we fancied in what athletic event each of the following individuals or things would compete – were they so gifted with the talent. • Gov. Mitt Romney, the presumptive Republican nominee for president. Fencing. He seems perpetually en garde and poised to stick it to his opponent at every opportunity. But he’s way too refined for boxing. • The city of Scranton, which this month reportedly lacks enough money to pay its employees more than minimumwage. Diving. It spends most of its time underwater. •Wilkes-Barre Mayor TomLeighton, who recently admitted to frequenting the city’s fuel tanks without ever logging how much he dispensed into his personal vehicle. Marathon. This guy never runs out of gas. • Wilkes-Barre Parking Authority members, whose recent closed-door meeting with the mayor apparently will trigger a sequence of events leading to the removal of certain members andpossible reorganizationof the city’s parkingassets: garages, meters and lots Water polo. You know there’s lots of bruising action taking place in the pool; but most of it occurs belowthe surface, out of public view. • Laureen Cummings, the little-known Republican candi- date for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania’s 17th Congressional Dis- trict, who faced no opponent in the primary. Equestrian. She’ll need lots of cash just to compete. •Wilkes-Barre City Council, some of whose current and for- mer members were in the spotlight earlier this year for collect- ing generous, taxpayer-funded meal allowances (sans receipts) after attending conferences. Rhythmic gymnastics. Theymight not medal, but whocares? Pack your bags, dude! Free lodging in London! • Scranton Mayor Chris Doherty. Synchronized swimming. When is this guy not treading wa- ter? (See above: “The city of Scranton.”) • President Obama. Triple jump. Health care. Immigration. Jobs. Any one could trip him up. • Paige Selenski, 24, a former Luzerne County resident and Dallas High School alumna. Field hockey. The real deal. She’s expected to be part of the squad when it takes on Germany on July 29. Go, USA! OUR OPINION: MEDAL WORTHY? Pick contenders from pretenders PRASHANT SHITUT President and CEO/Impressions Media JOSEPH BUTKIEWICZ Vice President/Executive Editor MARK E. JONES Editorial Page Editor Editorial Board QUOTE OF THE DAY T HE BIG PHYSICS news last week was not the announce- ment of the Higgs bo- son, which could explain how the universe began, but some- thing closer to home: the speed of light with which Har- risburg lawmakers passed 60 bills in their frenzy to make the governor’s budget dead- line. As reported in the Inquirer, the General Assembly fast- tracked bills that few mem- bers actually had time to read. Some were complex, like a moratorium on gas drilling in southeastern Pennsylvania. More egregiously, they passed these bills by forgoing their own rule that prohibits debate after 11 p.m. That rule was a cornerstone in a set of reforms following the scandal in 2005 over legis- lative pay raises that effective- ly were passed in the middle of the night, with no hearings. The state’s gaming law also was the result of such mid- night madness. As a result of the public out- rage over this practice, then- House Speaker Dennis O’Brien convened a legisla- tive reform committee that held hearings on rules reform that included rules like the 11 p.m. cutoff, a waiting period for votes onamendedbills and more transparency on Senate and House votes. At the time, such reforms were called “the first step down a long road of restoring faith in govern- ment.” That road to reformis clear- ly on the list of the roads and bridges in this state that are overdue for repair. And that faith in government? Gov. Tom Corbett cam- paigned on legislative reform, and promised to make it a pri- ority. But aside fromtinkering around the edges on a few fix- es, the governor has retreated from that promise. Laws that will have impact on the lives of many Pennsyl- vanians should not be done at warp speed, in the middle of the night, no matter how much the governor wants to beat a budget deadline. It’s time to push for real reform – and real respect for the peo- ple. Philadelphia Daily News OTHER OPINION: PA.

No new taxes in the just-passed state budget. However, the editorial writ- ers at The Times Leader don’t see it that way. The Times Leader’s July 1 editorial states, “But the school boards either can’t or won’t (find ways to further reduce their districts’ expens- es).” This is referring to the local school boards that have the responsibility to maintain fiscal integrity/reality but have failed miserably, especial- ly in the Pittston Area district where I reside. Our board raised our taxes 2.4 percent. Now, Mr. TL Editor, did the Pittston Area board, as you say, have any other choice, hmmm? Let’s see. How about some of the benefits that the teachers/administrators re- ceive and couldn’t, or wouldn’t, or won’t be touched by the school board? By the way, the vote was 9-0. Gee, do you think the aver- age taxpayer in Pittston Area knows that if a teacher turns down the family plan health benefit package because he or she already has health cov- erage, that teacher gets $11,000 a year just because he said no. That’s $917 per month. Do they know that a 30-year teacher, just because he or she retired, gets a parting gift of $30,000 spread over five years? Administrators get a whop- ping 70 percent of their final salary just because they re- tired. These benefits would make a porn star blush. Mr. TL Editor, look around. People are really hurting with job prospects nonexistent and minimal health care coverage a daily struggle, and you seem to defend the Pittston Area board? Wow. You should apologize, and the entire Pittston Area School Board should resign. Frank Sciabacucchi Pittston Township Healthy solution? Affordable care I have a question for the politicians and all those people cheering the Su- preme Court decision uphold- ing “Obamacare”: Has it oc- curred to you that the reason so many Americans lack health insurance is that they cannot afford the premiums? The most obnoxious provi- sion of “Obamacare” is the individual mandate, which forces everyone to buy health insurance coverage from pri- vate carriers. It is a huge gift from the politicians to the insurance companies. I was laid off from my job in November. I had to dump my COBRA coverage when it became a choice between having health insurance or having a roof over my head and food on my table. Those $430 monthly premiums (sin- gle man living alone with no dependents) could buy a lot of groceries and pay a lot of utility bills. Or would the “Obamacare” supporters have me eating cat food in the dark? The rallying cry of the Re- publican Party is the repeal of “Obamacare.” Lest the Repub- licans become too self-righ- teous here, might I remind them that their darling boy, Mitt Romney, pushed through an “Obamacare”-type law, including an individual man- date, when he was governor of Massachusetts? If this country is to have universal health care, as most other developed countries do, we need to go to a single- payer system. How do we pay for it? How about ending the war in Afghanistan, ending all foreign aid, especially to such so-called “allies” as Pakistan, and bringing our troops home from Germany and all the many other countries where they do not belong, and then using the money saved to pay for universal health care? Philip E. Galasso Shickshinny Coal still kingly resource for U.S. I am writing to thank U.S. Senate candidate Tom Smith for his June 11 com- mentary (“Job-killing regu- lations are hiking your electric bill”) that shed light on the Environmental Protection Agency’s war against coal. No other fuel in America is as abundant or affordable as coal. Pennsylvania relies on coal to power 2.7 homes and 145,000 businesses. As far as jobs are concerned, coal pro- duction employs 52,000 peo- ple statewide, with a com- bined payroll of $3.5 billion annually. However, the EPA has plans to force utilities to cut back on coal use. In these economic times, we have to be conscious of the looming potential energy crisis. If the EPA continues to succeed with its plans, we will see increased electricity prices and thousands of layoffs. Recently, U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, along with 53 law- makers in Washington, voted to continue the harsh regu- lations being implemented on coal by the EPA. Senator Casey’s vote is a vote against the most reliable way to gener- ate electricity and create jobs for Pennsylvanians. This is another example of the Oba- ma-Casey agenda of overregu- lation and war on coal. Our leaders in Washington must stand strong against the EPA’s anti-coal regulations to allow Pennsylvania’s coal industry to keep providing jobs and reasonable electricity costs. Doug McLinko Towanda Mundy challenged on her tax claims T here are a few statements in state Rep. Phyllis Mun- dy’s letter (June 24) about House Bill 1776, the Property Tax Independence Act, that need to be challenged. Representative Mundy states that HB1776 is “terribly flawed” but gives no evidence to support the claim. HB1776 was conceived in full cooperation with 72 mem- ber groups of the grassroots Pennsylvania Coalition of Taxpayer Associations and has been fully vetted by its mem- bers. I would like to hear spe- cifically in what way the legis- lation is flawed. Representative Mundy was the person at the HB1776 House Finance Committee hearings who made a claim of a $3.5 billion funding gap. Rep. Jim Cox, the prime spon- sor of the legislation to elim- inate school property taxes, patiently attempted to explain to Mundy why her number was incorrect. All the numbers used to craft HB1776 were supplied by the House Appropriations Committee’s staff and are accurate. Representative Mundy vigorously opposed similar versions of property tax elim- ination legislation in the past. She states she has worked for property tax relief for 30 years. But her solutions for property taxes have failed. Could Representative Mun- dy’s sudden shift to nominally support HB1776 be due to having a challenger for her seat who pledges to work for enactment of HB1776? Time for a change. Vote Aaron Kaufer for state repre- sentative. Therese Mistretta West Wyoming Real solutions for real problems S oon after Rev. Michael Brewster of Mount Zion Baptist Church comment- ed about the shooting death of local youth Tyler Winstead – appealing to God to stop the violence in this community and talking about “employ (ing) the weapon of uncondi- tional and radical love for humanity” – I called these comments vapid and a failure because they did not offer earthly solutions to earthly problems. As an atheist, and more specifically a humanist, I view these comments as contrib- uting nothing to combat very real problems that ought to be addressed by human action. Humanists and atheists don’t look to “supernatural solutions” for earthly prob- lems, but rather look to earth- ly solutions for earthly prob- lems. Real action from people on their feet, rather than those in prayerful kneeling, is re- quired for change. We find no good reason to believe that prayer solves any problems or that any gods – if they exist – intervene in human affairs. It is wonderful that Rev. Brewster recently has taken action by holding community meetings in conjunction with the “Building Bridges” initia- tive. It seems that many peo- ple in this community have realized that prayer is not sufficient to deal with our earthly problems. For those who believe that God only helps those who help themselves, it seems evident that people helping themselves can’t be distin- guished from God helping people. And we all know which one is the more reason- able explanation. Justin Vacula Exeter Client happy with cited nail salon T wo very fine women run a nail salon in Wilkes-Barre, at which I have been a customer for quite a number of years. Recently, The Times Leader printed an article relating to information provided from the Pennsylvania Department of State that indicated this small business “practiced nail tech- nology in a grossly incompe- tent and/or unethical man- ner.” I would like to bring to your attention that this incident occurred more than a year ago, and it has not deterred me from remaining a faithful customer. The salon was undergoing a facelift, as provided by the owner of the building, which included replacing the door and windows. Prior to that, the front window displayed quite well that, in fact, this business was known as “Get Nailed.” Was this fact taken into consideration by the inspector? Second, the tool that alleg- edly was utilized supposedly had been purchased at a local beauty-supply business, which sells only to licensed cosme- tologists. Has that business been cited? It is my opinion as a cus- tomer of this newspaper for years that it should now do a positive story on this small business and the two lovely women who run it!

It generally was viewed as mixed or ambiguous because the Justice Department suc- ceeded in striking down three of the law’s provisions. Howev- er, regarding the law’s central and most controversial element – requiring officers to inquire into the immigration status of anyone picked up for some other violation – the ruling was unanimous. Not a single justice found merit in the administration’s claim that this “show me your papers” provision constituted an impermissible pre-emption of federal authority. On what grounds unconstitu- tional? Presumably because officials would be asking about the immigration status of all, rather than adhering to the federal enforcement priorities regarding which illegal im- migrants would not be subject to deportation. Under the Obama adminis- tration’s newly promulgated regulations, there’ll be no more deportation of young people brought here illegally as chil- dren. Presumably, the Arizona law is invalid because an officer might be looking into the sta- tus of a young person the feds now classify as here legally. Beyond being logically ridic- ulous – if a state law is uncon- stitutional because it’s out of sync with the federal govern- ment’s current priorities, does it become constitutional again when federal policy changes? – this argument is “an astound- ing assertion of federal exec- utive power,” wrote Justice Samuel Alito in a concurrence. The Obama Justice Depart- ment is suggesting that “a state law may be pre-empted, not because it conflicts with a federal statute or regulation, but because it is inconsistent with a federal agency’s current enforcement priorities. Those priorities, however, are not law. They are nothing more than agency policy.” And there’s the rub: the Obama administration’s in- ability to distinguish policy from law. This becomes partic- ularly perverse regarding im- migration when, as Justice Antonin Scalia points out, what the administration del- icately calls its priorities is quite simply a determination not to enforce the law as passed. Consider this breathtaking cascade: An administration violates its constitutional duty to execute the law by deliber- ately refusing to enforce it. It then characterizes its non- enforcement as simply estab- lishing priorities. It then tries to strike down a state law on immigration on the grounds that it contradicts federal law – by actually trying to enforce it! The logic is circular, ox- ymoronic and the very defini- tion of executive overreach. During the Bush-43 years, we were repeatedly treated to garment-rending about the imperial presidency, to major hyperventilation about the “unitary executive.” Yet the current administration’s impe- riousness has earned little comparable attention. Perhaps because Obama has been so ineffective. It’s hard to call someone imperial who’s failed so consistently. Or may- be not. You can surely be impe- rial and unsuccessful. Regardless of results, howev- er, Obama’s presumption is Olympian. He takes America into a war in Libya with United Nations approval, but none from Congress. Yet that awful Bush had the constitutional decency to twice seek and gain congressional approval before he initiated hostilities. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services issues “Obamacare” regula- tions treading so heavily on the free-exercise rights of Catholic institutions that Obama’s own allies rebel. The new regulation concocted to tame the fire- storm blithely orders private insurers to provide free contra- ceptives to employees of the objecting religious institutions. And now immigration. Oba- ma adopts a policy of major non-enforcement of the im- migration law – a variant of the very DREAM Act he could not get through even a Democratic Congress – and promulgates it unilaterally, while his Justice Department claims the right to invalidate state laws that might in some way impinge on that very non-enforcement. The GOP presidential cam- paign centers on the ineffec- tiveness of this administration: failure at home, passivity abroad. A fine electoral strate- gy. But as citizens we should be grateful. Given the adminis- tration’s extravagant ambitions, incompetence is its saving grace. Obama’s egregious executive overreach COMMENTARY C H A R L E S K R A U T H A M M E R Charles Krauthammer’s email address is letters@charleskrauth- ammer.com. T he finale’s concussions not yet faded reverberate still in the inner ear, leaving one to wonder whether the light show continues – boom-boom-boom, vroom-vroom, vroom – as we go gently streaming through the taillights’ red glare. ANOTHER VIEW A photograph by Don Carey and words by Mark E. Jones I SAW an as- tounding poll result that 41 percent of Americans had no idea the Supreme Court had made an important ruling last month on health care. This concurs with other stud- ies that say more than 60 per- cent of Americans know little or nothing about what is con- tained in the Affordable Care Act, or “Obamacare.” And then it hit me. The problem in America isn’t the progressive version of health care, or the conservative version of health care, it is the “I don’t care” version of being an American. I am an American progres- sive. But I respect conservatives who believe that their path is the best road ahead. And I real- ly respect independents, people who make the effort to see the different sides of an issue and then judge what they believe is best for our country. But I have no respect for people who just don’t care. To me, they have a lot of nerve calling themselves American. If you ever have known immi- grants to America, whether they be our own parents or grandparents, or new immi- grants, they yearn for the self- governance that America has to offer. It is a disgrace that Amer- icans who have been born into this great legacy do not have the decency to be informed, to care. Of course, they have a “right” not to care. And I have a right not to respect them. It is because of selfish Amer- icans such as these that the leading category targeted by politicians today is the “unin- formed” voter. It is because of these people that our political dialogue has been lowered to the level of an amoeba. It is because of careless Americans that powerful forces can take the tragedy of Sept. 11, 2001 and invade a country that had nothing to do with it. It is because of the intellec- tually numb that we can ignore science and the destruction of our environment and that legis- lators can remove from our dialogue phrases such as “rising sea levels” and “global warm- ing.” It is because of the perpetu- ally vacuous that international bankers, nothing more than glorified criminals, can take billions of dollars in salaries and bonuses in the same year that they nearly destroyed the world’s financial system. Simi- larly, it is because of the un- concerned that the top 1 per- cent of Americans, an insulated oligarchy, is allowed to control 90 percent of its assets. It is the careless who allow Neanderthals in Congress to question a woman’s use of con- traception under the guise of “freedom of religion.” It is because of the disen- gaged that a Supreme Court can make a ruling such as Citizens United that is infecting our politics with legalized bribery of historic proportions. It is because of those derelict in their duty as citizens, who dare to call themselves “adults” – the people who can name all of the Kardashian sisters but can’t tell you how many mem- bers are in the U.S. Senate – that the Senate can misuse the filibuster rule to thwart major- ity rule in the U.S. Congress. It is because of the growing ranks of crass, self-absorbed Americans that 40 million peo- ple don’t have health coverage; that 23 percent of children in America are living in poverty and that our educational system continues to crumble. So happy Independence week to all you liberal, conservative, libertarian and independent Americans who care enough about your country to care. The rest of you really don’t deserve the title of American. If you don’t care, don’t call yourself an American JOHN WATSON C O M M E N T A R Y John Watson is the former editor of the Sunday Dispatch in Pittston. He lives in Seattle. Contact him via email at [email protected]. It is because of those derelict in their duty as citizens, who dare to call themselves “adults” – the people who can name all of the Kardashian sisters but can’t tell you how many members are in the U.S. Senate – that the Senate can misuse the filibuster rule to thwart majority rule in the U.S. Congress. IF Pennsylvanians have learned anything from the Jerry Sand- usky pedophilia case it’s this: When adults suspect child sexual abuse and don’t take action, it is children who pay the unthinkable price. So, as millions point the finger at Penn State University and vent their outrage to co-workers over inmate Sandusky, many people also are asking themselves, “Do I know any child who might be a victim of abuse, a child who needs help right now?” To ask that question is to contem- plate a heroic act: lifting an unbearable weight from a child’s shoulders and stepping in to be a protector. Once we’ve examined our lives and cleared our own consciences, there’s another question every citizen has a moral right to ask: “Does my govern- ment know about any children who are being hurt and need to be rescued right now?” The answer to that question is yes. Shortly after the Sandusky case made national headlines, I was con- tacted by a young woman in my dis- trict named Alicia Kozakiewicz. At age 13, Alicia was abducted from her Pitts- burgh home by a child predator and held for four days. Alicia said she was alive today only because law enforce- ment zeroed in on evidence coming from the house where she was held captive. They tracked that evidence back through the Internet to her loca- tion, freeing Alicia from a basement dungeon. Here’s what else Alicia told me: There are thousands of Pennsylvania children suffering sexual abuse, and law enforcement is in possession of electronic evidence that could lead directly to their locations. Yet, no rescue is on the way, because Penn- sylvania law enforcement is criminally overwhelmed and underfunded. If Alicia was right, the Penn State scandal would pale in comparison. Alicia and her group, PROTECT, were telling me that Pennsylvania officials were failing to act on thousands of suspected child predators. My office, together with state Rep. Mike Sturla, D-Lancaster, began in- vestigating these charges, and what we found was shocking. A national law enforcement nerve center called Round Up was patrolling the Internet (just as Alicia’s rescuers had done), identifying thousands of criminal suspects a day who were trafficking in video and photos of chil- dren being raped, tortured and abused. Round Up is a national treasure. It has helped law enforcement investigators in all 50 states identify and arrest thousands of child predators. Every trafficker in the Round Up database is a dangerous criminal sus- pect, of course. But an estimated one in three is a hands-on abuser. Here was the biggest surprise. The Round Up national nerve center is hosted on the computer servers of the Pennsylvania State Police. How many Pennsylvania child pred- ator suspects might be in the Round Up database? Congressional testimo- ny, national law enforcement esti- mates and reports from Round Up itself indicate the number of unique suspects in Pennsylvania can be con- servatively placed between 5,000 and 20,000. One is too many. More alarming, we know from arrest and prosecution data that most of these suspects are never arrested or prosecuted. Worse, large numbers of suspects are never even referred to local law enforcement agencies, leav- ing child-sexual predators at large in communities. Thanks to Alicia, 37 state House members from both parties have joined me in introducing the Attorney General Mandated Reporter Act, legis- lation that would require the attorney general, or the Pennsylvania Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force should she delegate it, to report child predator suspects seen online to local law enforcement agencies right away, unless they are being actively investi- gated. The bill, to be known as “Alicia’s Law,” also would provide funding to train local law enforcement agencies in this most dangerous of all cyber- crimes, focusing their efforts on first- responder activities that might identi- fy child victims. Since its introduction in April, Al- icia’s Law has been bottled up in com- mittee, and House leaders have re- fused to hold hearings. Every day the House leadership delays is another day that help won’t reach children in peril. The next time you hear someone rage against those who kept Sand- usky’s secret, please remember Alicia and the children she wants to save today. I hope that every Pennsylvania resident will join me in demanding urgent action to pass and fund Alicia’s Law. Is Pennsylvania failing to act on thousands of suspected child predators?

These people, when caught, should be taught respect for the flag. Draft them into the Army for three years. They will learn respect in basic training, and – after a few tours of duty in Afghanistan – they proudly will carry the flag. My hat’s off to Clyde Peters and the American Legion for doing a great job. Roger Lane Mount Pocono Leighton deserves balanced coverage I am writing in response to your editorial regarding Wilkes-Barre Mayor Tom Leighton’s involvement in the proposed leasing of the city’s parking facilities (“City park- ing plan seems a real wreck,” June 27). The city, like many small and mid-sized cities in the Northeast, has a shrinking tax base, increased health care costs and unsustainable pen- sion benefit obligations. Unlike proprietary enter- prises, municipalities, because of contractual obligations, can’t reduce costs by simply reducing the workforce, re- quiring a larger contribution from employees for health care or eliminating benefits. I believe the mayor deserves credit for trying to come up with a creative solution to solve the financial problems of the city. Instead of an analysis of the financial validity of the plan, your coverage focused on the professional fees of Fox Roth- schild and former city admin- istrator J.J. Murphy. I assume Mr. Murphy and Fox Roth- schild presented engagement letters to the Parking Author- ity enumerating services and fees. Apparently the authority, or at least some of its mem- bers, took issue with Mr. Mur- phy’s and Fox Rothschild’s fees. The mayor did not en- gage either Fox Rothschild or Mr. Murphy; the Parking Authority did. In the future I would hope for more balanced coverage of Mayor Leighton. In the in- terest of full disclosure, the mayor is a friend of mine. John Riccetti Shavertown Confidentiality cloaks local gov’t I was reading The Times Leader’s article saying that Wilkes-Barre might be liable to pay taxes on the gas for which it cannot account. The thing I found most disturbing is the fact that the investiga- tion is confidential. Why is everything regarding local and county government considered confidential when there is a problem? We, the voters, elect these people to represent us, and they hide behind the veil of confidentiality when some- thing bad happens. The peo- ple have a right to know about anything involving our hard- earned tax money. These people get into office and they are not held account- able for their actions. When they do get caught, with their hand in the proverbial cookie jar, they resign their offices and collect big pensions, all provided by the taxpayers. After that, their buddies sweep everything under the rug, and we never really know what happened. All we know is that taxes will be raised to pay for these people’s greed and misman- agement of public funds. These politicians seemingly think that the money – and goods purchased with it – belong to them. It does not; it belongs to every taxpaying citizen, and we demand to be kept abreast of all investiga- tions and expenditures. Confidentiality breeds cor- ruption! When will it all end? Maybe on Dec. 21. Richard Geffert Plymouth Use your vote to make difference I am glad to see that many people are going to be cov- ered for their medical care with the passage of “Obama- care.” I am not glad to see how we are going to pay for it. All of us on Medicare are going to see increases in the amount the government takes out of our Social Security checks every month for our Medicare premiums. For many of us, it will mean a lot less to spend on other essen- tials. For others, it could be disastrous. I never liked the idea of my government getting into the insurance business. It was enough when it took over the automobile and banking in- dustries. This has to stop. The only defense we have is our ballot. Together we can and must make a difference. Our country is on a collision course with reality. Our econo- my is in dire straights. Not only are many people unem- ployed, but many of those who are lucky to have a job are actually under-employed and barely making ends meet. Where does it all end? Together we must send a message to Washington with our vote in November. We have to tell the politicians that we are tired of being thrown under the bus. We need an alternative to “Obamacare.” If you are not registered to vote, please do so. If you can vote, please get out and vote. Nick Pucino Nanticoke Devious GOP plot hurting our nation A month ago Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor and son of President Ge- orge H.W. Bush, sent a chill through Republicans when he asserted that they would no longer nominate someone like his father for president. More- over, he said, they wouldn’t even select Ronald Reagan. These former leaders aren’t conservative enough for to- day’s Republican Party, he suggested. There recently were reports on several cable news net- works of a meeting that oc- curred on the day of Barack Obama’s inauguration. What happened at this meeting is recorded in the prologue of Robert Draper’s new book, “Do Not Ask What Good We Do: Inside the U. S. House of Representatives.” Fifteen Republicans (seven congress- men and five senators, plus three others) met on the eve- ning of Jan. 20, 2008. Among the representatives were de- vious Eric Cantor, slippery Kevin McCarthy and conniv- ing Paul Ryan. Senators in- cluded demented Jim DeMint, dull-witted Jon Kyl and adulte- rous John Ensign. Also on hand were scheming commu- nications specialist Frank Luntz, right-wing “journalist” Fred Barnes of “The Weekly Standard” and the hero of past controversy, omnipresent Newt Gingrich. (Please par- don my lack of enthusiasm for the above characters, but their deceitfulness has been a mat- ter of public record.) The 15 resolved at this meeting to do everything they could to block any initiative President Obama put forward to Congress. One of the great fears Re- publicans must now have is that another important nation- al figure will break ranks and announce it has all been a ruse from the beginning and that the party hasn’t acted in good faith. Although it’s possible that the fateful gathering at an expense-account restaurant (between the White House and the Capitol three and a half years ago) didn’t birth the angry and wary movement known as the Tea Party, it certainly encouraged it. All the duplicity that character- izes current conservatives (especially in Congress) has had a deleterious effect on public discourse. Richard J. Yost South Abington Township Regulations crush our self-sufficiency M ary Ann Haas couldn’t be more correct (“Partisan gridlock killing econo- my,” July 1). I have had a small dental lab for 25 years. All I wanted to do was make dental prosthetics for a few dentists and make a decent living with dignity. I didn’t want to grow a huge conglomerate. Now, govern- ment regulations want to micromanage my one-man operation just the same as they do a multimillion-dollar endeavor. Remember Hillary Clinton’s words? “We cannot be held responsible for undercapital- ized businesses.” That means if you are a one-person show, and the regulations are too expensive to implement, too bad. Further, I never dreamed I’d be competing with China in the dental lab business. Yes, ask your dentist where that crown or denture was made! Demand a made-in-USA guar- antee. There are dental lab brokers who market Chinese services to dentists. They seemingly know nothing about how to construct a dental appliance. They undercut the local lab’s prices, pick up the work from the dentist’s office and send it to China. China does not have to comply with U.S. regu- lations. When it comes back, the broker delivers the fin- ished product to the dentist. You pay the same fee for your prosthetics. When all the local labs go out of business (or become brokers themselves), your broken denture will be sent to China to be repaired. Will there be some poisonous material in it when it comes back? Look what NAFTA and GATT did! The liberals in power do not want individuals to be self-sufficient. They want us all to be beholden to them while they enjoy political power. They have turned to people into “sheeple.” The “sheeple” bleat for more government intervention on all levels (wel- fare, health care, retirement). Though the country is ripe for another American Revolu- tion, there will be none. “The tree of liberty (shall not) be refreshed … with the blood of tyrants and patriots” any time soon. Prepare to be shackled and enslaved. You have sacri- ficed your liberty for a little security so you “deserve nei- ther.” (Thomas Jefferson said the former, Benjamin Franklin the latter.) David J.

Phillips is a bu- sy guy, bouncing fromrunning the an- nual Steamtown Original Music Showcase and his business, MCRPro- ductions, to playing in two bands: UUUfor 12 years and OurAfter for six. As a musician, Phillips knows the accountability he and his peers have. “As a local musician you have a re- sponsibility to make your scene bet- ter, whether you play in a band, pro- mote bands or are part of any aspect of the music. You’ve got to be the best you can be and work at developing it.” Phillips has seen many changes to the scene since he began playing. “I’ve watched it collapse,” he said, “and this is where the responsibility aspect comes in. Everybody says ‘Well the scene isn’t doing great, the clubs aren’t doing this, radio’s not doing that,’ which is fine, but the fact is that whenit comes downtoit, theonlyper- son to blame is yourself.” Phillips said this is why he’s gone “on the aggressive,” pushing the focus tolocal andregional acts insteadof na- tional ones. One such way is through the Steamtown Original Music Show- case, now in its seventh year, which will take place fromAug. 31to Sept. 2. “Local music is just as good, if not better, than national music, and no- bodyreallyknows about thesebands,” he said. “This is a way to expose new styles and genres to a lot of people.” The event is being expanded upon with the Steamtown Music Awards, which will happen Sept. 1. “It’s a waytoget more recognitionfor local artists,” Phillips said. “Voting for bands is a big part of the process, yes, but there are still going to be rules and stipulations looked at by a committee.” Phillips hopes that through fun- draising, as well as money made through the Steamtown Showcase, he and his event colleagues can present a music scholarship to a local high- school student in the thousands-of- dollars range. Phillips refers to his company MCR Productions, run with his wife, Jennif- er, as “the glue for everything.” The business is made up of several local professionals and has photographers, videographers, musicians, event plan- ners, lighting installers – everything to make a party work. “We’re taking themed weddings and events and making them a reality for people,” Phillips said. “We lookat every aspect of the event andsee what we can dowithit tomakeit that muchbetter.” He sees music as always being a part of his life, andhe’s looking for- ward to pushing a change. “It’s going to be a lot of time and effort and I’ma little scared, I’m a little hesitant, but at the same time anything that’s worth doing, well, you’re going to give it a shot no matter what.” ON THE SCENE SUBMITTED PHOTO John Phillips and his wife, Jennifer, are co-owners of MCR Productions, an events business.

Sowhy is she still singing about anxiety and agony? “I’ve always leanedmore toward the sadsongs andthe angst,” Lam- bert said. “I feel like that’s what people want to hear. That’s what I want to hear. I don’t want to hear a bunch of happy songs all the time. Peoplemayhaveexpectedmetobe a little more happy and upbeat on this album(the AmericanCountry Music-winning ‘Four the Record’) and it just wasn’t like that at all.” That’s the essence of Miranda Lambert — telling it like it is, whether evening the score with an ex-boyfriend in the 2008 hit “Gun- powder and Lead” or dissing R&B star Chris Brown on Twitter after the Grammys in February. Lambert felt obligated to vent because she thought Brown was greedydoingtwoperformanceson the Grammys, and she was upset that hedidn’t apologizefor beating up his ex-girlfriend Rihanna. “Ifeel likeit’smyduty,”Lambert, 28, said. “Everything I’ve always stood for in my career and in my personal life, I’m a strong woman and I believe in speaking your mind. Sometimes I feel like if I don’t, I’mnot upholding what I’ve preached.” Outspoken, to be sure. But also sensitive.

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

Winters’ new mystery, “The Last Policeman,” a massive aste- roid named Maia will hit Earth in six months. The human race is reacting badly to the lack of a future. So who cares about a suicide in the restroom of the local McDonald’s in Con- cord, N.H.? Detective Hank Pal- ace cares. Palace has a tidy streak in him that keeps himworking de- spite the inevitability of extinction, and something in this death doesn’t add up here. “What I’m really dealing with here is the fact that all of us will die,” Winters says. “How would we behave under those circumstances — behave ethical- ly, behave morally. What is the way to behave knowing that our days are limit- ed?” In the mystery, some have already killed themselves in mass immolations or walk off their jobs to fulfill their “be- fore-I-die” bucket list or dreamed of es- caping to non-existent moon colonies. Unfortunately, our modern world doesn’t run by all by itself. Technology is breaking down. The cell phone grid is failing. Only the authorities have gas- oline for their cars. Even the McDo- nald’s isn’t the familiar Golden Arches we know now. “Many of these, like the one we’re now standing in, on Concord’s Main Street, have subsequently been trans- formed into pirate restaurants: owned and operated by enterprising locals like my new best friend over there, doing a bustling business in comfort food and no need to sweat the franchise fees,” thinks Palace. He’s been assigned to clean up the case of Peter Zell, an insurance man found hanging by an expensive belt that doesn’t belong to him. Delving in- to Zell’s life, Palace tracks down family and friends to find the reason for the death all the while knowing — it really doesn’t matter. Winters made his mark writing liter- ary mash-up such as “Sense and Sensi- bility and Sea Monsters” — Jane Aus- ten meets Jules Verne and others — and a Tolstoy parody, “Android Kareni- na.” He started writing “The Last Po- liceman” in February 2011. It is planned to be a trilogy, the second book being three months before Maia hits, and the last on the day of reckoning. So how does much of humanity cope in Concord knowing they are doomed? “People in the main are simply mud- dling along. Got to work, sit at your desk, hope the company is still around come Monday. Got to the store, push the cart, hope there’s some food on the shelves today. Meet your sweetheart for lunch for ice cream.” “What I’m dealing with here is the fact all of us will die,” says Winters. “That is the human condition — peri- od. (That is) the one thing that links every human being to the other. What I’ve simply done in the novel is to accel- erate the timetable.” ‘Policeman’ on job as doomsday approaches “The Last Policeman” by Ben H.

B E S T S E L L E R S In the years since Vinnie Red Sky LeBlanc’s father killed three people in a drunken driving accident and got himself banned from the Bay Mills reservation, the young Ojibwa tribal member has never once picked up a drink. So Vinnie’s best friend, Alex McKnight, is under- standably concerned to learn Vinnie has been knocking back scotch- es at a local bar. The con- cern turns to alarm when Vinnie suddenly disappears. Meanwhile, five bodies are discovered at a deserted air- strip nearby, the result of a drug deal gone bad. At first, Alex, a former De- troit cop who moved to Mi- chigan’s remote Upper Pen- insula a few years ago to get away from trouble like this, cannot imagine the two mys- teries are related. But when Buck, Vinnie’s slacker cousin, also goes missing, Alex suspects Buck may have somehow drawn Vinnie into the drug deal. Soon it becomes clear that Alex isn’t the only one look- ing for the cousins. Some big-time drug deal- ers, convinced that Vinnie and Buck betrayed them at the airstrip, are hunting the pair. As the story unfolds, Alex races up and down the length of Michigan, follow- ing leads, trying to stay one step ahead of the drug deal- ers and trying to convince suspicious tribal members that he’s really on Vinnie’s side. Soon he’s joined by Vin- nie’s long-missing father, who shows up to help with the search. “Die a Stranger” is the ninth crime novel by Steve Hamilton, a two-time Edgar Award winner. As usual, he creates an en- semble of strong, believable characters and spins his sus- penseful tale in crisp, hard- boiled prose. The result is a taut, fast- paced story with lots of gun- play and unexpected twists, along with a poignant sub- plot about the strained rela- tionship between father and son. ‘Die a Stranger’ a suspenseful tale “Die a Stranger: An Alex McKnight Novel” (Minotaur Books), by Steve Hamilton By BRUCE DeSILVA For The Associated Press M ichelleObamacanre- call a time when she “had no idea that to- matoes didn’t come in green plastic trays, covered by cello- phane and that they could be any color other than pale red.” She’s come a long way, and now she is working to bring the rest of us with her. Her efforts to garden on the White House lawn and to involve people all over the country in growingfoodare the subject of her first book, “American Grown.” (All author proceeds go to the Na- tional Park Foundation.) Full of pictures of gorgeous gar- dens and produce, “American Grown” tells the story of the White House kitchen garden. There are recipes, advice on gardening and stories of successful community gardensfromaroundthecountry— as well as alittlehistoryabout grow- ing food at the White House. Ground was broken for the cur- rent garden on March 20, 2009, and it has become popular with staff volunteers, school groups and tourists. Even White House events have changed: “Since we planted the garden, I’ve noticed a change in what we cook,” observ- es Cris Comerford, the White House executive chef. “No longer are the meals we serve driven by the protein on the plate and gar- nished with a few baby carrots or other accent vegetables. Vegeta- bles are now equal partners.” About a third of the harvest is donated to Miriam’s Kitchen, which provides meals for home- less people. “American Grown” has many warm and fuzzy moments, both in photos — Obama holding just- picked tomatoes, elementary school children and first dog Bo among the plants —and in words. Gardens, the first lady points out, are good at “reminding us of all we have in common and help- ing us grow stronger, more con- nected communities.” Obama also addresses some se- rious questions about the Amer- ican diet, noting that “millions of American families are living in so-called food deserts, communi- ties without a single grocery store andnoconvenient access tofresh, nutritious food.” Obesity-related health problems, she writes, cost $150 billion a year. And she offers startling details about the effect of diet on the mil- itary, from an interview with Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling: Not only can about half the recruits not pass a ba- sic fitness test, but more than 62 percent of new recruits needs den- tal care before they can deploy and many have bone density issues that make them prone to fractures. Those problems are the result of a decades-long change in how we eat and exercise, Obama notes, acknowledging that she too struggled over decisions about buying the right foods when she shopped for her family. In her book, as elsewhere, her great charmis her ability to seem like the rest of us. She recalls a conversation with the Obamas’ pediatrician and a de- cision to improve the family’s eat- ing habits. “We started small, emp- tyingour pantryof unhealthyfoods and filling our glasses with water and skim milk instead of sugary drinks,” she writes. “We ate at home more often. We began to add more vegetables to our meals.” The problems Obama saw as first lady “alarmed” her and led to the “Let’s Move” programand her campaign against childhood obesity. “Rarely in the history of this country have we encountered a problemof such magnitude and consequence that is so eminently solvable,” she declares. Her garden — the White House garden —is part of the solution: “I hoped this garden would help be- gin a conversation about the food we eat, the lives we lead, and how all of that affects our children.” “American Grown: The Story of the White House Kitchen Garden and Gardens Across America” by Michelle Obama; Crown ($30) By MARY MACVEAN Los Angeles Times Australian author Sara Foster uncovers a rich vein of atmo- sphere in the North Yorkshire moors for her intense psycholog- ical thriller about a womantrying to rebuild her life after her hus- band disappears. A touch of the supernatural and family ghost tales add to the already spooky landscape that blankets Foster’s debut. But Fos- ter’s dabbling in the occult doesn’t subtract from the realis- tic fears and down-to-earth prob- lems explored in “Beneath the Shadows.” Foster uses the sub- genre of the quiet, non-violent English village mystery to grace- fully weave in the themes of loss, grief and abandonment in “Be- neath the Shadows.” Grace and Adam Lockwood have just moved from London with Millie, their 10-week-old daughter, to the remote village of Rosebywhere he has aninherited a cottage from his grandparents. Adam spent a little time in Rose- by as a teenager after his mother diedandhe has fondmemories of Hawthorn Cottage, the village and the surrounding moors. One week after the move, Adamtakes Millie for a walk while Grace con- tinues to unpack. Afewhours lat- er, Grace finds Millie inher stroll- er, unharmed, at their doorstep, but Adam has disappeared. A year later, Grace finally finds the strength to return to Roseby. She needs to settle matters about the cottage and try to find out what happened to Adam, who has never been found. The police and many Roseby residents be- lieve he just left, unable to handle the responsibilities of father- hood. Grace becomes friendly with Meredith Blakeney, a leader in the tight-knit community, and handyman named Ben, who works on the cottage while Grace sorts through the boxes left by Adam’s grandparents, “disman- tling the last traces of their lives.” Family secrets andtales of ghosts haunt Grace’s attempts to find out what happened to her hus- band. Foster skillfully uses the vil- lage’s isolation and the moors where “the raw, untouched vistas hadthe power tostopyour mind” as a metaphor for Grace’s own isolation. Grace’s grief influences each of her actions, and her par- ents, her sister and an old friend worry that she may verge on a mental breakdown. Grace is ob- sessive about finding out if Adam left or if something more sinister happened and the reader em- pathizes with her emotional state. Theabsorbingplot of “Beneath the Shadows” shows that a quiet, non-violent mystery can pack a lot of punch. Dark plot in ‘Shadows’ “Beneath the Shadows” by Sara Foster; Minotaur ($24.99) By OLINE H.

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

CONTACT accident when they were teen- agers. “We wrote it about his broth- er,” Lambert said. “Ironically, it was my single in January, and welosthisdad(then)andIlosta reallygoodchildhoodfriend. So it was kind of weird that we wrote about something that happened16yearsagobut it was very fitting to our lives today.” Not only did they compose “Over You” together, but they duet on “Better in the Long Run” on “Four the Record” (it’s herfourthalbum)andtheysang “America the Beautiful” togeth- er at the Super Bowl in Febru- ary. How about touring togeth- er? “We’ve decided it’s not the right time,” Lambert said. The couple will celebrate their first wedding anniversary May 9 by hanging out at their farmin Ok- lahoma — which is what they did for half their honeymoon. “I’m trying to build on this mo- mentum I’m having, and he doesn’t have time to do it with back-to-back seasons of ‘The Voice.’ ” (The showalready has begun filming its third season, expectedto air this fall.) Not only has Lambert been a guest mentor on “The Voice,” but she’s an avid fan who texts her husband unsolicited advice during the show. “He probably gets annoyed. Hehashisphonewithhiminthe chair,”sheexplained. “He’ll text me: ‘How was it?’ because he can only hear what he hears in the building. I’m the back-seat driver, bad.” Lambert knows quite a bit about TV talent shows. She got her career break after finishing third on “Nashville Star” in 2003. And the show’s 2006 win- ner, Chris Young, is opening for her current OnFire Tour. Despite the moniker, the tour does not include pyrotechnics —nothing like the giant ring of fire in which she performed “Kerosene,” her first hit, at the 2005 Country Music Associ- ationAwards. “I figure I’m fiery enough on my own,” she said. Lambert made her markwith feisty he-done-me-wrong songs such as “Kerosene” (“He’s out there holding on to someone/ I’m holding up my smoking gun”) and “Crazy Ex-Girl- friend.” She grewup in Linden, Texas, where her parents were private investigators, often working with women who were abusedor cheatedon.

With her elevated profile, Lambert landeda spot inFebru- ary on NBC’s “Law & Order: SVU,” her favorite TVshow. Ac- tually, when she met the pro- gram’s showrunner, she said: “I know you want me on your show.” He warmed to the idea but she said had a little advice for her: “ ‘You need to be a little less confident.’ OK, no one’s ev- er toldme that.” Lambert is confident she doesn’t want to be an actress. She’s too busy with music, in- cluding her side project the Pis- tol Annies, a country girl group with songwriting partners Ash- leyMonroeandAngaleenaPres- ley. Theyreleasedaloose, spirit- ed collection of harmony-heavy country ditties called “Hell on Heels” last August. The two singers will join her tour in May and do five Pistol Annies songs as part of her set. In September, there will be a separate Pistol Annies tour, fol- lowed by the recording of the trio’s secondalbum. LAMBERT Continued from Page 1F Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton join a select group of country couples who have enjoyed musical success while married. We asked her to com- ment on some of her famous predecessors. • Johnny Cash and June Car- ter: “They set the stage for what it is to be a couple in the spotlight because they had such an amaz- ing relationship.” • George Jones and Tammy Wynette: “Legendary.” • Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter: “They’re the coolest of them all.” • Rodney Crowell and Rosanne Cash: “Oh, gosh. They’re like rene- gades that were a couple.” • Tim McGraw and Faith Hill: “Hot.” (Then she giggled.) • Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood: “I think they’re very real and very down to earth. I don’t know them, but they seem that way.” C O U N T R Y C O U P L E S TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com SUNDAY, JULY 8, 2012 PAGE 1G 412 Autos for Sale 412 Autos for Sale 412 Autos for Sale 412 Autos for Sale 412 Autos for Sale 412 Autos for Sale 412 Autos for Sale 412 Autos for Sale 412 Autos for Sale 412 Autos for Sale of Scranton - NEPA of Scranton - NEPA 2013 XTS Luxury Collection White DiamondTricoat, Navigation, Sunroof 48 MONTHS DOWN PAYMENT $ 2,999 48 Per Month + Tax* LEASE IT! $ 599 $ 599 2012 Cadillac CTS All Wheel Drive MSRP $40,360 27 MONTHS SECURITY DEPOSIT $ 0 Per Month + Tax* LEASE IT! $ 249 $ 249 2012 Cadillac SRX Luxury Edition MSRP $41,740 24 MONTHS SECURITY DEPOSIT $ 0 Per Month + Tax* LEASE IT! $ 379 $ 379 R.J.

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