But Palmer and his partner had been consid- ering moving out of the com- monwealth because they can’t enjoy the same protections and privileges here as married straight couples do. If a federal lawsuit in which they are plaintiffs is success- ful, they won’t have to. Palmer, 65, and Edwin Hill, 67, are among 23 plaintiffs in a suit that the American Civil Liberties Union and the Philadelphia law firm of Hangley Aronchick Segal Pudlin & Schiller are fil- ing in U.S. District Court in Harrisburg in an effort to have the state’s Defense of Marriage Act declared unconstitutional. That act defines marriage as between a man and a woman, and bars Pennsylvania from recognizing same-sex mar- riages entered into in other states. The lawsuit, which names Gov. Tom Corbett, Attorney General Kathleen Kane and other officials as defendants, seeks to force the common- wealth to permit and recog- nize same-sex marriages. “There is nothing else that we’re asking for in the lawsuit,” ACLU staff attor- ney Mary Catherine Roper said Friday in a conference call with Palmer, Hill and a reporter. “The only thing we’ve asked for is the freedom to marry.” Palmer and Hill went to Kennebunk, Maine, in May to be married. The ceremony was performed by a notary public. Pennsylvania does not recognize their marriage. They receive none of the Area native part of gay marriage suit David Palmer, formerly of Shavertown, and his partner Edwin Hill are plaintifs in the ALCU lawsuit. STEVE MOCARSKY

WILKES-BARRE — After decades of civil rights activ- ism, Ronald L. Felton has kept a distinctly low profile over the past seven months. The 60-year-old leader of the Wilkes-Barre branch of the NAACP said recovery from kidney and heart failure has kept him from speaking out on issues. That was before a U.S. Supreme Court ruling last month in which justices ruled 5-4 to strike down a key provi- sion of the Voting Rights Act, which was enacted in 1965. So-called “pre-clearance” sec- tions of the act gave the U.S. Justice Department veto power over local election changes in states, counties and municipal- ities with a history of election regulations that discriminated against minorities. “Nothing has since inspired, and so motivated me,” Felton said. The high court held that the 1975 formula used to determine which districts are subject to the provision is outdated, with Chief Justice John Roberts writing that the formula “is unconstitutional in light of current conditions” and “based on decades-old data and eradicated practices.” Meanwhile, a pending voter ID law in Pennsylvania is fac- ing a constitutional challenge. With the issue back in Congress’ hands — and at the center of political debate during a summer when racial issues have dominated the American landscape — Felton spoke at length about race, pol- itics and his future at the helm of the local NAACP. Below are highlights from that conversa- tion, condensed for presenta- tion in this format. You mention the U.S. Supreme Court decision as motivating you to speak out. Do you see any parallels between that ruling, amend- ed voting laws in other states and the pending voter ID law case in Pennsylvania? Oh yeah, definitely. This is a solution looking for a prob- lem. When the Brennan Center For Justice (at New York University School of Law) did their review, they found you had a better chance of get- ting struck by lightning than you did of encountering voter fraud. Why do you think such WILKES-BARRE — Her parents’ house on Gates Street is next door, yet Darla Carey doesn’t walk there by herself at night. Car break-ins in her neigh- borhood, including her hus- band Dan’s, strangers passing by on the sidewalks and fear that crime has overrun the city have compelled her to take precautions for her safe- ty and that of her family. “We keep our porch lights on all night,” Carey said. On those nights when she walks the 20 feet from her front door to her parents’, she said, “Dan walks me over.” Carey echoes what some other people have been say- ing about an increase in crime and the city administration’s apparent refusal to acknowl- edge and deal with it. In a David-and-Goliath moment last week, the diminutive mother of four grown chil- dren and a grandchild scolded Mayor Tom Leighton before a packed city council meet- ing for appearing not to care about the safety of the resi- dents. It wasn’t planned that way, Carey, 53, said Friday. “I didn’t go with the inten- tion of speaking,” she said. WILKES-BARRE — Detectives have few leads in the case to determine what led to the shooting death of David George Thursday night. Luzerne County Detective Dan Beky and Wilkes-Barre City Detective Charles Jensen rendez- voused outside police headquar- ters Saturday afternoon. Both are assigned to the case, along with at least one other city detective. They did not comment on possi- ble suspects or explain the nature of the leads. Investigating these matters takes time, Jensen said. Beky couldn’t provide much new information either, but said they’re putting all of their focus on the investigation. “That’s all we can say right now,” Beky said. “We’re working it.” Wayne Wright, George’s stepfather, waited at his Welles Street home for George’s mother, Yvonne, to return from making funeral arrangements Saturday. “I’m devastated,” Wright said. Though George was his stepson, said Wright, he helped raise him from a baby. It wasn’t right for the 24-year-old to die so young, he said, noting George was a gen- erous man who was always eager to help others. Wright clenched his jaw and said George’s death opened his eyes to crime’s presence in the city. “It’s like the Wild West up here,” Wright said, explaining he retired from a General Motors factory in New Jersey and moved to Wilkes-Barre to get some peace and quiet. Although he considers parts of New Jersey dangerous, he suggested it might be safer if he moved back. Police officers responded around 11 p.m. Thursday to reports of shots fired on Welles Street, according to a police document. George’s mother told police she spoke to her son on the phone that night. He said he was on his way home. A fewmin- utes later, she heard a gunshot outside, police said. Dr. Gary Ross, a forensic pathologist, performed George’s autopsy at 2 p.m. Friday. Ross concluded the cause of death was a single gunshot wound to the head and manner of death was ruled homicide, according to acting Luzerne County Coroner William Lisman. George’s death marks the seventh homicide in Wilkes-Barre since January. Homicide probe continues JON O’CONNELL

MICHAEL J. CORCORAN July 18, 2013 Michael J. Corcoran, 71, went home to the Lord on Thursday evening after a courageous battle with cancer. His beloved wife, Roberta, and family were at his bedside. Born May 26, 1942, the son of the late Hugh and Marie (Mattick) Corcoran, Dad was a 1960 graduate of Sacred Heart High School, Plains Township. He was class president three of four years, an altar boy throughout his school years and, to hear him speak, was a better than average basketball player. Dad received the American Legion Award for the highest academic average over his eight years of grade school. Dad possessed a bach- elor’s degree from King’s College, where he served as secretary and president of the Student National Education Association, and was a proud mem- ber of the King’s College Glee Club. He also earned a master’s degree from The University of Scranton and com- pleted career enrich- ment courses at Temple University, Glassboro State University, Wilkes University and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Graduate School. After three years of teaching, Dad served 31 years with the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division. He often described his role enforcing laws protecting the American worker as a vocation, the best and most satisfying job in the world. Laws enforced included the Minimum Wage and Overtime Law, the Equal Pay Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act as well as stat- utes protecting children, the disabled, the rights of migrant workers and those performing on gov- ernment contracts. Dad’s positive attitude reflected itself in his many career accomplish- ments. At the local level he served as investigator, assistant district direc- tor and district director. Regionally he performed as equal pay and age dis- crimination specialist, government contracts specialist, sheltered workshop specialist and administrative assistant to the regional director. A frequent instructor at Wage & Hour national training classes, includ- ing spending five weeks in the U.S. Virgin Islands training their investiga- tive staff, Dad was con- sistently asked to serve lengthy details at the National Office level. These included Branch Chief of Wage Hour Standards and Branch Chief of Government Contracts. For many years he served on region- al and national quality- control teams conducting accountability reviews to ensure consistent appli- cation of agency statues. He served as District Director of Wage-Hour’s Wilkes-Barre Office for the last 17 years of his career. The office cov- ered more than half of Pennsylvania’s 67 coun- ties. Subsequent to the 1972 Agnes Flood, Dad was detailed to the Office of Emergency Preparedness. He was in charge of all disaster relief agencies stationed at the Forty Fort Borough Building, the area near the cem- etery where the river first breached the dike. He would brag that he met President Richard Nixon and comedian Bob Hope, who were among many dignitaries who visited during this difficult time. Dad believed govern- ment existed to protect, allow realization of the American Dream and to provide for the needy and unfortunate among us. He lived his personal life in a similar caring, compassionate manner, especially so toward his children, grandchildren and close friends. An infectiously positive per- son, Dad believed life was best guided by simple sayings. Among his favor- ites: “Just do it, but think beyond yourself.” A 3rd degree Knight of Columbus, Council 302, and a past member of its advisory board, Dad also served on the Wilkes- Barre School District Advisory Committee and was a founding member of Deerhorn Sportsmen’s Club. He was a member of the Polish American Vets, the Great Bend VFW and the Perugia Beneficial Society. In addition to Roberta, his beloved wife of 48 years, Dad is survived by children, Michael and his fiancée, Nancy Angus, Cranberry Township, Pa., Denise Lewandowski and her husband, Bernie, Boiling Springs, Pa., and Sandy Graham and her husband, Mark, Carlisle, Pa.; and six grandchildren: Matthew, Katherine, Alyson, Jake, Andrew and Mackenzie, each loved equally and without bounds. Also surviving are a broth- er, Hugh and his wife, Dorothy, Pittston; sister, Marie Spagnuolo and her husband, John, Plains Township; brothers, Ray and his wife, Joyce, Linglestown; and John and his wife, Marilyn, Plains Township. Dad’s parents and his sister, Ellen, preceded him in death. Dad was especially comforted throughout his illness by family and friends who “just did it,” including maintenance chores at our home, driv- ing assistance on the many trips to Fox Chase Hospital in Philadelphia, routine visits to our home and get-well cards. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday in St. Frances X Cabrini Church, Carverton. Family and friends are invited to go directly to church Tuesday morn- ing. Interment will be in Sacred Heart Cemetery, Plains Township. Friends may call from 5 to 8 p.m. Monday at the Corcoran Funeral Home Inc., 20 S. Main St., Plains, PA 18705.

The 25th annual American Cancer Society’s Duck Derby, presented by Blue Cross of Northeastern Pennsylvania, enabled participants to purchase a duck for $5 or six of the little fellows for $25. When the ducks were pulled from the water, their “owners” had the opportunity to win prizes that included $1,000, a remote car starter and a ladies watch. Many participants were there in honor of loved ones who died from the disease or who are battling can- cer. Louise Chopyak, of Plymouth, said she has attended the event for many years in honor of her late grandmoth- er, who had cancer. “I purchased six ducks and will also be helping pull ducks from the water,” said Chopyak. “It’s a pleasure to support such a help- ful organization.” Tux, the Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins mascot, also was on hand to help pull the ducks from the water and to entertain the children, who responded with applause and laughter upon his arrival. “I really like being here because I get to play with my friends and see the ducks,” said Lilly Palchanis, 6, Plymouth. Her mother, Tracy Palchanis, said the event provided an opportunity to get the kids outside on a beautiful day and to have fun. Blue Cross of Northeastern Pennsylvania set up a table to greet participants and to give out out sun- screen, toothbrushes, band-aids and information on healthy living. The organization has a commitment to supporting the community’s health, said Catie Kline, program assistant at Blue Cross. Cindy Tomaine, co-chairwoman of the event, emphasized proceeds will be directed to the cancer society and its goal of “helping area residents get well, stay well, find cures and fight back.” “We benefit those affected by cancer in a variety of ways including support groups and transportation to treatment-related appointments,” Tomaine said. She also emphasized the importance of education and research to find a cure. About $20,000 was expected to be raised at the event. LOCAL HANOVERTWP. Alleged escapee back in prison Authorities on Saturday arrested Alex Dzoh, 34, of Larksville, who police say escaped from the Luzerne County Correctional Facility while on work release. Police responded to a call of a retail theft at the Dollar General Store on the Sans Souci Parkway and obtained a description of the suspect. He was located on Keti Street.

IN BRIEF www.timesleader.com TIMES LEADER Sunday, July 21, 2013 PAGE A3 A front-end loader drops 6,000 rubber ducks into a pool at Coal Street Park to begin Saturday’s American Cancer Society Duck Derby. Fallen prison guard honored as hero NANTICOKE — The audience grew still as a lone bagpiper played “Amazing Grace,” drowning out the flapping of an American flag. The musician led the family of slain federal prison guard Eric Williams and a crowd of supporting officials Saturday to Luzerne County Community College’s Walk of Honor. The fanfare was to honor Williams, a corrections officer at U.S. Penitentiary- Canaan in Wayne County. Williams was stabbed to death in February, alleg- edly by inmate Jessie Con-ui who was charged with the crime last month. A plaque marking Williams’ sacrifice was unveiled at the ceremony and is to be installed on one of the memorial site’s walls. StateSen. JohnYudichak, D-Plymouth Township, and state Sen. Lisa Baker, R-Lehman Township, organized the ceremony. The plaque will help people remember Williams as a shining exam- ple of all those who work toward public safety, Yudichak said. “Eric’s life continues to serve as an inspiring legacy to us all,” he said. Ladder trucks from Hanover Township Fire Department and Nanticoke Fire Department arched over the ceremony, a large American flag hanging between them. It was Community Safety Day at Luzerne County Community College, and those people who spoke reminded all attend- ing that public servants risk their lives daily. “It’s a stark reminder when you lose someone like Eric Williams … about the dangers in any public-sector job,” Baker said. The plaque might be to remember Williams, but the federal prison’s war- den, David Ebbert, said his colleagues need no marker. “Every time my men and women walk into my institution, they never forget,” he said. “(The plaque) helps the family. It helps the community. It’s important. But we will always remember.” Don Williams, Eric’s father, offered gratitude to everyone and said, since his son’s death, community support has been overwhelming. “There’s no words that I can think of that can honestly thank everybody … but please, accept our gratitude,” Williams said. Downhill from the ceremony at the college’s Public Safety Training Institute, the community day included games and workshops for kids and adults to learn about living safely. It’s the first time the college has held such an event, and more than a dozen groups including first-responders, state agen- cies and health-minded businesses shared their knowledge with the com- munity. Fred Adams/For The Times Leader If it foats like a duck …it must be for a good cause Cancer Society’s Duck Derby celebrates 25 years GERI GIBBONS Times Leader Correspondent HARRISBURG—The Department of Environmental Protection will accept public input through Monday for its pending policy revision about just that — public input. The policy, last updated in 2005, sets guidelines for how to conduct meetings and hearings and encour- ages industry operators to inform the communities they propose to enter using a DEP-provided public outreach checklist. If a community is vocal enough about its disdain for a proposed project or enough members have a valid reason to speak up, the depart- ment may use discretion to decide if a public hearing is warranted, said Colleen Connolly, the department’s Northeast regional office spokes- woman. Not directly related to the policy update, gas companies are seeking permits for compressor stations and dehydration stations using the General Permit application, which does not require a public hearing, Connolly said. They are using this type of permit instead of the new GP-5, which was designed specifi- cally for these types of gas projects and pays special attention to air emissions. The General Permit calls for a 45-day comment period, but the GP-5 permit requires a public hearing from the the department’s air quality bureau, according to Amanda Witman, a DEP press aide in Harrisburg. It’s important to note that these projects must also get approval from county or municipal zoning offices that might call for their own pub- lic hearings, but some say the gen- eral permit option threatens the way community members get involved with the permit approval process. A DEP hearing adds a second layer of protection for the community and additional scrutiny for the applying company, said Eileen Cipriani, West Pittston Borough council chairwom- an. Cipriani led the borough’s charge earlier this year to stop a natural gas compressor station from being constructed by UGI Energy Services inside the borough. UGI officials dropped their permit application before it reached state review when it was before the Luzerne County Planning Commission. “Still, at the end of the day, even if they got local zoning, they would still need the permit from DEP,” Cipriani said. “We would certainly like the public to weigh in on the public hearing process.” Regardless of a public hearing, lan- guage in the policy update encour- ages the members of the public to speak out about permit applications. Connolly said written opinions are better because they can best be documented in their original state. Concerns about permit applications should be directed to the depart- ment’s office of Environmental Advocate. Permit applications must be adver- tised in general-circulation newspa- pers and in the department’s weekly “Pennsylvania Bulletin.” If a public hearing is called for by significant public concern and the department’s discretion, the hearing must be advertised at least two weeks prior to its scheduled date, according to the guideline.

Mich. governor gung-ho on Detroit turnaround Rick Snyder gave blessing for city’s bankruptcy fling, regardless of political fallout. DETROIT — Seven gover- nors came and went during the decades-long decay of Michigan’s largest city that culminated with a humiliating collapse into finan- cial ruin. It’s the eighth, former busi- ness executive and relative politi- cal novice Rick Snyder, who is aggressively tying his legacy to the prospects of a Detroit turn- around. When he took office, Snyder pushed for more powers for the state to intervene in distressed cities and schools. After voters repealed the law last November, he ignored critics and signed another one. He also hired the city’s turnaround specialist and, nearly four months later, blessed the request to file for bankruptcy. For the man with the “one tough nerd” moniker, it’s the lat- est bold decision in a 2 ½-year stretch that’s remarkable for the sheer breadth and pace at which Snyder has moved. He’s again in the national spotlight just a half- year after making Michigan — the bastion of the auto industry and organized labor —a right-to- work state, a move that pollsters say led a drop in his approval rat- ings. Though the impact of the bankruptcy filing on Snyder’s 2014 re-election may be diffi- cult to predict, it’s still a legacy definer that’s being watched not only in Michigan but also by Wall Street and other elected officials across the country. Snyder, a former venture capi- talist and computer company CEO, has no known presidential aspirations. “I don’t spend time dwelling on my legacy. I just try to do my job well,” the Republican governor told The Associated Press in an interview. “That’s relentless posi- tive action. No blame, no credit. Just simply solve the problem. “Here was a problem 60 years in the making. The can was being kicked down the road for far too long. It was time to say enough was enough. Let’s stop, let’s stabilize, let’s grow.” Detroit’s bankruptcy could last at least through summer or fall 2014, when Snyder is expected to ask voters for another term. “I deeply respect the citizens of Detroit,” he said. “They along with the other 9 million people in our state hired me to do this job. They’re my customers. This was a tough step, a difficult deci- sion, but it’s the right decision.” AP Photo Wives of scandal take diferent approach to husbands’ comeback NEW YORK — Two New York City political wives, forever linked by their husbands’ humiliat- ing scandals, are taking very different roles in their spouses’ improbable political comebacks. Silda Wall Spitzer, who famously stood by husband Eliot Spitzer in 2008 when he stepped down as governor in a prostitution scandal, hasn’t been seen in the early days of his cam- paign for city comptrol- ler, though Spitzer insists she’s supportive. Huma Abedin, who was notably absent when husband Anthony Weiner resigned his congressio- nal seat in 2011 after he acknowledged sending lewd Twitter photos to women, has been a key player in his surging may- oral run. She’s appeared in his campaign launch video, raised tens of thousands of dollars and joined him on the cam- paign trail. The two women, who have no known relation- ship, will have little choice but to occupy the spotlight again before Election Day — and they may affect their hus- bands’ chances to regain office. “When the significant other forgives you, it makes your road back in politics that much easier,” said Wendy Schiller, a political science profes- sor at Brown University. “If the wife goes on the campaign trail or seems really supportive, it makes a huge difference. If she doesn’t, it may raise doubts with women.” To many, Wall Spitzer’s anguished appearance at her husband’s side when he admitted paying for sex with prostitutes, is the archetype of the sad genre of wronged politi- cal wives, so much so that it helped inspire the CBS drama “The Good Wife.” She largely vanished from the public eye after that moment, briefly resur- facing for a Vogue photo spread the following year titled “The Survivor.” As Eliot Spitzer, 54, struggled to adapt to a post-political life, bounc- ing around the TV dial from MSNBC to CNN to Current TV, Wall Spitzer happily returned to a quieter existence. A for- mer corporate lawyer, she poured herself into her children’s charity and returned to the business world, eventually find- ing a home at New World Capital Group, a private equity group where she focuses on investments in clean energy. She agreed to her hus- band’s surprising come- back only hours before he announced it to the world this month, accord- ing to a person close to the campaign who was not authorized to speak about Spitzer’s personal life. Wall Spitzer has offered suggestions about Spitzer’s campaign and collected a pair of peti- tions to get him on the ballot. One of the couple’s three daughters rounded up about 100 signatures. But Wall Spitzer, 55, has shunned the cam- paign trail and has yet to grant any interviews about her husband, which stands in stark contrast to her frequent appear- ances at Spitzer’s side during his previous runs for attorney general and governor. Her silence has fueled speculation that their marriage is on the rocks. The couple lives apart — she at the family home on Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue, he at his sick elderly parents’ home a few blocks away — though Spitzer firmly denied a published report that the couple was sepa- rated. “Regarding Silda’s dearth of appearances on the campaign, there has been a maelstrom of media attention focused on Eliot’s entry into the race,” said Lisa Linden, the campaign’s spokes- woman. “He has no desire to bring his family into the media frenzy at this time.” Linden did not say when, or if, the for- mer New York first lady would campaign for her husband. Spitzer has acknowledged the “hurt” he caused his wife but said she would soon join him on the trail. Wall Spitzer didn’t respond to a request for comment. “No one will forget that press conference; having her get back out there is a lot to ask,” said Christina Greer, professor at Fordham University. “She could be saying, ‘I did it once. I was raked over the coals, with people analyz- ing my scarf, my jewelry, my tears. You want to get back out there? Fine, but don’t expect me to do it with you.’” Spitzer’s primary rival, Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer, campaigned with his wife the day after Spitzer announced his bid. Experts differ as to how much Wall Spitzer’s absence will matter. “Is it a sign she thinks he’ll do it again?” Schiller asked. “Has he really learned his lesson? It could signal to women that she has doubts about his character.” Political strategist Bill Cunningham, a former adviser to Mayor Michael Bloomberg, said voters pick a candidate based on the spouse and don’t care if they are there. “A role of a spouse is a lot like chicken soup amid an array of medi- cines,” Cunningham said. “It doesn’t hurt, but whether or not it has pro- found value is unclear.” Anthony Weiner and his wife Huma Abedin pose for photographs after the 2011 ceremonial swearing-in of the 112th Congress in Washington.

After becoming the first woman reporter assigned to cover the president rather than just the first lady, Thomas cov- ered 10 presidents from John F. Kennedy to Barack Obama. Most of the time, she reported for United Press International. Thomas got her break when assigned to cover President- elect Kennedy’s post-election vacation in Palm Beach, Fla. She soon fought her way to the news side of coverage, a move unheard of at the time. She would go on to become an offi- cer at three of Washington’s loftiest symbols of journalis- tic clout: The White House Correspondents Association, the Gridiron Club and the National Press Club. In 1974, she became the first woman White House bureau chief for a wire service. Thomas became embroiled in controversy in recent years because of her remarks critical of Israel. But she was remem- bered Saturday for her ground- breaking career. “Helen was a true pioneer, opening doors and breaking down barriers for generations of women in journalism,” President Barack Obama said Saturday. “She never failed to keep presidents — myself included — on their toes. What made Helen the ‘Dean of the White House Press Corps’ was not just the length of her tenure, but her fierce belief that our democracy works best when we ask tough questions and hold our leaders to account.” Steven Thomma, White House Correspondents Association president, called Thomas “a trailblazer in journalism and in the White House press corps.” “Women and men who have followed in the press corps all owe a debt of gratitude for the work Helen did and the doors she opened. All of our journalism is the better for it,” said Thomma, who is senior White House correspondent for McClatchy. Thomas was born in Winchester, Ky., the daughter of Lebanese immigrants, and grew up mostly in Detroit. She became interested in reporting while working on her high school newspaper. After graduating from what was then Wayne University, she got a job as a copy girl, running errands and grabbing coffee for higher-ups, at the Washington Daily News. She was eventually hired at United Press, later UPI, as a local news writer for radio. Like most women of her time, she was assigned to “wom- en’s” items such as society features. HOUSTON Man imprisoned, abused 4, cops say A 31-year-old man was charged Saturday in connection with the dis- covery of four malnourished men being held against their will in a dungeon-like Houston home. Walter Renard Jones faces two counts of injury to the elderly. He is being held without bond in the Harris County Jail and set to appear in court Monday. Houston Police Department spokes- woman Jodi Silva said it’s possible addi- tional charges will be filed as the inves- tigation continues. The exact charges are decided by the district attorney’s office. Police said Friday that the men told investigators they were forced to live in the garage — which had one chair, no bed and a possibly malfunctioning air conditioner — so their captor could cash their public assistance checks. GROSSETO, ITaly Five found guilty in cruise shipwreck Five employees of an Italian cruise company were convicted Saturday of manslaughter in the Costa Concordia shipwreck that killed 32 people, receiv- ing sentences of less than three years that lawyers for victims and survivors criticized as too lenient. The guilty verdicts for multiple man- slaughter and negligence were the first reached in the sinking of the cruise liner carrying more than 4,000 crew and passengers near the Tuscan shore in January 2012. The ship’s captain, the only remain- ing defendant, was denied a plea bar- gain and is being tried separately. BEIRUT Syrian forces bomb rebels Syrian government forces bombed a strategic rebel town in the coun- try’s north for the third day in a row Saturday, pounding it with airstrikes that killed at least five people, activists said. President Bashar Assad’s troops in recent weeks have seized the momen- tum in the civil war, now in its third year. Regime forces have been on offen- sive against rebels on several fronts, including in the northern Idlib province along the border with Turkey. In Idlib, government forces this week besieged the town of Saraqeb, hitting it with rockets, tank fire and air raids, said the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. CONORD, N.H. Land for sale may be booby trapped Federal officials preparing to sell the New Hampshire compound of a tax- evading couple convicted of amassing an arsenal of weapons can’t guarantee that explosives and other booby traps aren’t hidden on the 103-acre spread. In fact, they will openly warn bid- ders that land mines might be planted throughout Ed and Elaine Brown’s bucolic property in the small town of Plainfield. And they say prospective buyers won’t be allowed on the grounds until they submit a winning bid that frees the government of liability for dis- memberment or death. The Browns, who do not recognize the federal government’s authority to tax its citizens, were in a nine-month standoff with authorities in 2007 after they were sentenced to five years in prison for tax evasion.

DAVID LIGHTMAN McClatchy Washington Bureau Catholic youths converge on Rio BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — Thousands of young Roman Catholics from around the Americas are converging on Rio de Janeiro, taking dayslong bus trips or expensive plane flights that were paid for by bak- ing cookies and holding garage sales, running raffles and bingo tournaments and even begging for coins in public plazas. Some of the poorest traveled from so-called “misery villages” in Argentina’s capital, thanks to donations from the Buenos Aires archdiocese. Their agenda at World Youth Day includes meet- ing with other disadvantaged youngsters in Manguinhos, a favela Pope Francis plans to visit, and sharing stories about Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the subway-riding Argentine Jesuit they now affectionately call their “slum pope.” Road trips can be fun, but many have been expressing more profound emotions, excit- ed by the changes they see in the church since Francis was elected in March. His first months as pope have already renewed their faith, many say, by showing how church leaders can get closer to their people and relate to their real-world problems with humor and a common touch. “Like anyone else, there have been times when I haven’t had this faith at 100 percent. Now I have more faith than ever, very high. I have my heart com- pletely with God and no one can take me away from there,” said Valentina Godoy, who traveled from Santiago, Chile. Francis joked when he first emerged on the balcony over St. Peters Square that the cardinals had chosen a pope “from the end of the world.” But for many Catholics on this side of the Atlantic, he’s not only the first Latin American pope. With his history of community outreach, many younger Catholics are say- ing that he’s the first pope they can relate to in a more personal way. “We were concerned after Benedict resigned, but when a Latin American pope emerged, so close to young people, it real- ly changed the situation and our numbers grew. A little while ago we thought that there would be 5,000 Chileans and now we see that 9,100 of us are going, more than double what we expected,” said Alonso Molina, the 21-year- old coordinator of a group vis- iting from Chile’s Vicarate of Youthful Hope. Tey say Pope Francis is frst pontif they can relate to in a more personal way. DEBORA REY Associated Press Protesters want change in self-defense laws and federal charges fled against Zimmerman ATLANTA — One week after a jury found George Zimmerman not guilty in the death of unarmed teen Trayvon Martin, people gathered for nationwide rallies to press for chang- es to self-defense laws and for federal civil rights charges against the former neighborhood watch leader. The Florida case has become a flashpoint in separate but converging national debates over self-defense, guns, and race relations. Zimmerman, who successfully claimed that he was protecting himself when he shot Martin, identifies himself as Hispanic. Martin was black. “It’s personal,” said Cincinnati resi- dent Chris Donegan, whose 11-year- old son wore a black hoodie to the rally, as Martin did when he died. “Anybody who is black with kids, Trayvon Martin became our son.” The Rev. Al Sharpton’s National Action Network organized the “Justice for Trayvon” rallies and vigils outside federal buildings in at least 101 cit- ies: from New York and Los Angeles to Wichita, Kan., and Atlanta, where people stood in the rain at the base of the federal courthouse, with traf- fic blocked on surrounding downtown streets. Chants rang out across the rallies. “Justice! Justice! Justice! … Now! Now! Now!” “We won’t forget.” “No justice! No peace!” Many also sang hymns, prayed and held hands. And plenty of participants carried signs: “Who’s next?” “I am Trayvon Martin.” “Enough Is Enough.” Most rallies began at noon. In New York, hundreds of people — including music superstars Jay-Z and Beyonce, as well as Martin’s mother, Sybrina Fulton — gathered in the heat. Fulton told the crowd she was deter- mined to fight for societal and legal changes needed to ensure that black youths are no longer viewed with sus- picion because of their skin color. “I promise you I’m going to work for your children as well,” she said to the rally crowd. At a morning appearance at Sharpton’s headquarters in Harlem, she implored people to understand that the tragedy involved more than Martin alone. “Today it was my son. Tomorrow it might be yours,” she said. In addition to pushing the Justice Department to investigate civil rights charges against Zimmerman, Sharpton told supporters he wants to see a rollback of stand-your-ground self-defense laws. “We are trying to change laws so that this never, ever happens again,” Sharpton said. Stand-your-ground laws are on the books in more than 20 states, and they AP Photo Alvin Duplessis, 10, left, and Thomas McGriff, 5, foreground, hold signs as they stand with others from the Watson Memorial Teaching Ministries Church of New Orleans at a rally Saturday. Rallies seek‘Justice for Trayvon’ BILL BARROW Associated Press Ayear after movie shooting, Colo. seeks healing AURORA, Colo. — Some recited the names of the dead. Some did good deeds for their neighbors. And some practiced yoga, walked through nature or simply talked. Coloradans embraced ways to heal Saturday as they marked the anniver- sary of the Aurora movie theater massacre with a city-sponsored “Day of Remembrance.” It was one year ago that a gunman opened fire into a packed midnight screen- ing of the Batman film “The Dark Knight Rises.” The rampage lasted less than 2 minutes but left deep wounds that still ache in Aurora, Colorado’s third- largest city which spreads out across the rolling plains on Denver’s eastern side. Twelve people died, including a 6-year-old girl. Seventy were hurt, some of them paralyzed. Countless others inside the theater and out bear the invisible wounds of emotional trau- ma. Parents, siblings and sur- vivors of those slain attend- ed a morning ceremony of prayer, song and remem- brance outside Aurora’s city hall. Several hundred people — including police, fire personnel and mem- bers of Colorado’s congres- sional delegation — bowed their heads as the names of dead were read. A small bell tolled after each. The Hinkley High School choir sang “Amazing Grace.” The Associated Press AP Photo A woman writes an inscription Saturday on a cross dedicated to the youngest victim of the 2012 Aurora, Colo., theater shooting, Veronica Moser Sullivan, at a temporary memorial near the theater where 12 people were killed.

Then he made a rare acknowledgement: He wanted to do a better job of winning the votes of Democrats for his agenda and would like to have a better relationship with them. This was late last year, after the Nov. 6 election that swept President Barack Obama back for a second term, installed Democrats into Pennsylvania’s three other statewide executive- branch elected offices and nar- rowed the state Senate’s once- gaping Republican majority. Six months later, Corbett still emphasizes bipartisan votes, despite pushing an agenda — and holding closed-door meetings — that still largely excludes Democrats and relies on the Legislature’s Republican majorities. So it’s not surpris- ing that Democrats still call Corbett ideologically extreme and accuse him of being rigidly partisan. “We don’t agree with most of his agenda,” said House Minority Leader Frank Dermody, D-Allegheny. “We think it’s bad for Pennsylvania.” Dermody acknowledges that he had had more frequent con- tact with Corbett’s chief of staff, Steve Aichele, than he had had with Corbett’s prior chief of staff, Bill Ward. But much of Corbett’s major legislative agenda this spring — passing an on-time budget that cut business taxes, privatizing the state-controlled wine and liquor store system and over- hauling the state’s biggest pub- lic employee pension systems — rubbed Democrats the wrong way. It was also notable for a top priority of Democrats’ that it did not include: An agreement to expand Medicaid eligibil- ity to hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvania adults under the 2010 federal health care law. Corbett’s budget passed, but with support from just six of 20 Senate Democrats and not one single House Democrat out of 92. Efforts on pension and liquor legislation eventu- ally bogged down after every single Democrat opposed them and Republican majority leaders could not secure enough votes from their own ranks. A bill compelling Corbett to seek an expansion of Medicaid by Oct. 1 passed the Senate with a solidly bipartisan vote, 40-10. But the provision was killed in the House after Corbett private- ly made it clear to Republican leaders that he would veto it. Then there’s the transporta- tion funding legislation, which Corbett made a top priority after two years of pressure from lawmakers. A bill passed the Senate with a heavily bipartisan majority — 45-5 — and went to the House. Corbett made no commit- ment to sign the measure before it stumbled in the House in the final days of June. There, Republican leaders faced oppo- sition from anti-tax conserva- tives in their own caucus and alienated Democrats by scaling back the amount of money that would be provided to mass tran- sit agencies. The proposal col- lapsed and lawmakers departed Harrisburg until September. So instead of bipartisan har- mony, Corbett has attacked Democrats. He stressed that the transportation bill came out of the Senate with a bipartisan vote and acknowledged that House Republicans lacked enough sup- port to increase transportation dollars to pass their own bill. “We always knew we were goingtohavetohaveDemocratic support,” he said during July 3 during his regular appearance on the Dom Giordano Program on WPHT-AM in Philadelphia. He complimented the four Democrats who had supported the House GOP transportation bill in a committee vote, includ- ing the committee’s ranking Democrat, Philadelphia Rep. Michael McGeehan. “Now when it’s on the floor, the Democrats are going ‘No.’ Democrat leadership told their membership, ‘No, we’re not going to vote for this,’” Corbett said. McGeehan said he voted for the measure to ensure that it got out of committee, but did so with the understanding that it would need to undergo more changes so that it more closely resembled the Senate’s transpor- tation bill to attract Democrats’ support. It didn’t change, and Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi, R-Delaware, joined Democrats in rejecting it as inadequate. Perhaps Corbett should have considered himself forewarned. In a mid-June meeting between Dermody and Corbett on the transportation bill, Dermody warned Corbett that Democrats would be resistant to compromise after feeling frozen out by his administra- tion for two-and-a-half years while he rammed through a partisan agenda with the help of Republican majorities. “There’s a tremendous lack of trust,” Dermody said. “It’s not there.” Gov. Corbett still struggling to win over Democrats House Minority Leader Frank Dermody says, ‘Tere’s a tremendous lack of trust’ MARC LEVY The Associated Press Glenn Stewart holds Aura, a 3-year-old female peregrine falcon, in Santa Cruz, Calif. Today there are around 2,000 in California, and as many as 10,000 more across the U.S. AP Photo After decades of scram- bling on the underside of California bridges to pluck endangered peregrine fal- con chicks from ill-placed nests, inseminating female birds and releasing cap- tive-raised fledglings, wild- life biologists have been so successful in bringing back the powerful raptors that they now threaten Southern California’s endangered shorebird breeding sites. As a result, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says it will no longer permit per- egrine chick rescues from Bay Area bridges, a move that they concede will like- ly lead to fluffy chicks tum- bling into the water below and drowning next spring. “It’s a paradox,” said Marie Strassburger, chief of the federal agency’s divi- sion of migratory birds and habitat in Sacramento. “Yes, chicks are cute; I won’t deny that for a sec- ond.” But she said the loss of chicks that fledge from the nest too early is a natural part of life. Peregrines nest high on cliffs, trees, buildings and bridges because they hunt by diving, at speeds top- ping 200 mph, at wild birds they like to eat. When fledging, young peregrines fly well and land poorly. On cliffs, there are plenty of easy spots for a crash landing. On buildings, they scramble back onto win- dow sills or ledges when their first flights go awry, or they hit the sidewalk and can be carried back to their nests. But on bridges, with smooth steel or con- crete supports, chicks find no perch and often just hit the water. “We see the loss of a chick by natural causes as an edu- cational moment as this happens in nature all the time,” said Strassburger. “The peregrine falcons on the bridges in the Bay Area just happen to be in a very visible spot so the public is more aware of it.” The recovery of per- egrines, and now their potential threat to other species, underscores the fragile balance of nature that biologists have strug- gled with in recent years: Saving bighorn sheep in Yosemite National Park meant hunting protected mountain lions; reintro- ducing gray wolves in the Rockies brought a backlash when ranchers complained they were killing live- stock; and bringing golden eagle populations back on California’s Channel Islands nearly devastated the island fox, one of the world’s smallest canines. The decision to stop saving peregrine chicks is strictly local, says U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service migratory bird special- ist Alicia King at their Arlington, Virginia head- quarters. She said she didn’t know of any other place where this was hap- pening, and there’s no national position. She noted that in many com- munities the peregrines are beloved and their chicks are treasured. “But birds sometimes nest in places that are not the best places for them to nest, and while it’s hard to watch, sometimes nature has to take its course,” she said. No one is suggesting that the drowning deaths of a dozen or so chicks taken from Bay Area bridges is going to tip the entire species back into a risky situation. Nor is any- one suggesting that allow- ing a few birds to be saved would actually damage the dwindling population of at-risk shorebirds hun- dreds of miles south. But there are two very different sentiments about how to proceed. For wildlife biolo- gist Glenn Stewart, who directs the University of California, Santa Cruz Predatory Bird Research Group, allowing baby birds to topple into the choppy, frigid San Francisco Bay and drown is an indefen- sible approach. “Yes, peregrines are recovered, but should we let this sometimes vig- orously protected and sometimes left-to-drown resource be squandered?” said Stewart, who wrote “Eye to Eye with Eagles Hawks and Falcons” pub- lished earlier this year. And conversely, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says it makes no sense to permit chick rescues in one part of California when they are busy hav- ing to trap and move them away from threatened spe- cies habitat elsewhere in the state. Thus Stewart was informed this year, as he applied for his annual springtime permit to remove chicks, that this would be his last. Peregrine falcons were listed under the Endangered Species Act in 1973; at the time, there were just 11 of the birds known to be living in California and about 100 nationwide. Over the next three decades, independent biologists working with federal and state researchers success- fully rescued the species, largely by releasing more than 4,000 captive-raised peregrines in 28 states, but also through meticu- lous conservation, ranging from chick rescues to incu- bating and hatching eggs. Today there are around 2,000 in California, and as many as 10,000 more across the U.S., where they’ve become wildly popular thanks to live, streaming webcams above their nests and annual media accounts of their rescues from New York to Portland, Ore. Feds say falcons recovered in Calif.; no more chick rescues Te decision to stop saving peregrine chicks is strictly local, impacting the Bay Area.

He grabbed a bottle of Sam Adams beer and strolled down the aisle to celebrate his most significant achievement yet in his short tenure as America’s top diplo- mat: winning agreement from the Israelis and Palestinians on a frame- work for resuming stalled peace talks. It was a necessary breakthrough, for sure, yet a modest one, with the lowest bar for success in a process that merely sets the stage for what comes next: difficult and protracted negotiations aimed at a goal that has eluded successive U.S. administrations despite investments of serious time, energy, prestige and money. He has made six fre- netic trips to the Middle East in as many months and spent countless hours shuttling from Jordan to Israel and the West Bank to cajole Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas into returning to the table. During his latest visit to the region this past week, Kerry finally had some- thing to toast and back up his oft-stated claim that he was making progress in bringing the two sides back together. Minutes before starting back home, at a hastily arranged event in a VIP lounge at the Amman air- port, Kerry announced that his single-minded effort, derided by some in Washington and the Mideast as a waste of time, had resulted in a deal “that establishes a basis for resuming direct final status negotiations between the Palestinians and the Israelis.” He said it was not yet formalized but called it “a significant and welcome step for- ward.” Top negotiators for the two sides would come to Washington in the “next week or so,” he said, to begin preliminary direct discussions. Officials said Kerry would name a new U.S. point person to shep- herd the negotiations on a day-to-day basis. For all the buzz among Kerry aides who spoke excitedly of witnessing history in the making, the airport announcement was unusually subdued and brief. Tired after a week of multiple meetings with Abbas and phone conver- sations with Netanyahu, and all the while con- cerned about the health of his ailing wife in Boston, Kerry appeared alone at the podium in front of an unadorned blue cloth screen. There was no pomp. There were no Israeli or Palestinian officials at his side. There were no ques- tions. And there were no details about either the framework or even the end game. Secrecy would be para- mount, he said. Neither Kerry nor his staff would go beyond his statement, even privately. “We are absolutely not going to talk about any of the elements now,” Kerry said. “Any speculation or reports you may read in the media or elsewhere or here in the press are conjecture. They are not based on fact because the people who know the facts are not talking about them.” But hours later, an Israeli official who should know something of the agreement, Intelligence and Strategic Affairs Minister Yuval Steinitz, went on Israel radio to say that some Palestinian prisoners would be released as part of the plan. Presumably, this violat- ed the vow of silence that Kerry said the parties had made and it wasn’t even done anonymously, as is usually the case. It almost will certainly be the first of many such violations. It underscored some of the main obstacles that have bedeviled all previ- ous Israeli-Palestinian peace efforts: the inabil- ity or unwillingness of the parties to keep quiet, coupled with the refusal of American mediators to reject leaks to the Israeli, Palestinian and wider Arab media aimed at either enhancing one side’s negotiating posi- tion or inflaming public opinion to scuttle the talks altogether. The problem for Kerry and his team is that the facts are known. Both sides’ demands long have been common knowledge and they are far apart on the most contentious issues: the borders of an eventual Palestinian state, the sta- tus of Jerusalem, Israeli security and the fate of Palestinian refugees. The world knows the Palestinians want a state based on the 1967 lines, adjusted to accommodate land swaps, with east Jerusalem as its capital. The Israelis don’t want to commit up front to the 1967 contours even with revisions. They insist on a secure Jewish state that would preclude the right of return for Palestinian refugees and on keeping Jerusalem as their undi- vided capital. Kerry’s announcement made no mention of these facts. They are not easy, but they cannot be avoided or ignored in public if the negotiations are to pro- duce a deal. Keeping secrets challenges Kerry’s Mideast peace eforts Opposing sides’ positions are clear, so why try to keep lid on facts?

At a press conference Saturday, one week after a jury relieved George Zimmerman of charges he intentionally gunned down the black teen- ager in Sanford, Fla., Ron Felton, president of the NAACP Wilkes-Barre chapter, spoke of the national organization’s stance on the jury’s deci- sion. The national organization is promoting a petition for Holder to open a civil-rights case against Zimmerman. Felton said his organization’s leaders want to see the attorney general investigate whether Zimmerman acted on racial angst when he confronted Martin and claimed the hooded boy subsequently assaulted him, necessitating deadly force. Felton said race should have been a consideration in the trial the whole time, and he doesn’t understand why Florida county Judge Debra S. Nelson told the jury race was not to be considered a motive for Zimmerman to kill Martin. Zimmerman is white/Hispanic. “I’m just floored by the fact that, watching the trial, the first thing they said is ‘it’s not about race,’” Felton said. In a Mount Zion Baptist Church classroom, about 15 people attending what was more like a roundtable discussion than a press conference shared opinions that the jury correctly defended the law; however, in their view, the Stand Your Ground law that allowed Zimmerman to walk free is ineffective. “It’s very upsetting that the letter of the law was followed, but the letter of the law was wrong,” said Naomi Martin, one of the few white women in the room. The conversation turned to what those in the room said was the heart of the matter: racial persecution continues. Larry Singleton, the city chapter’s first vice president, said they support the jury’s decision. The jury effectively answered the questions asked, but there’s another part of the story, Singleton said. “If George Zimmerman wanted to avoid con- frontation, he should have left the gun in the car,” Singleton said. Carey showed up for the city council meeting with a letter and was asked by a City Hall employee if she was going to address coun- cil. Undecided, she was handed a speaker’s form to fill out from the employee who told her to wave if she decided to speak. “I was sitting there and I was very nervous. I thought I was not going to be able to move from the chair,” Carey said. But that changed in an instant. “A big sense of calm came over me and I didn’t care,” she said. “I did it for the residents of the city,” Carey said of her speaking out. “It’s just getting out of hand.” Her husband was painting their house and couldn’t accompany her to the meeting. Later, he assessed her comments this way: “You know, she said everything I was feeling.” Deep W-B roots His family’s history is connected to the city and Carey Avenue is named after his ancestors. He recently accompanied his wife and a family friend on a walk through their South Wilkes-Barre neighborhood to point out places where police have been and talk about the changes the area has undergone. “My parents are the oldest people on the street now. I’m right after them,” said Darla Carey, a 29-year resident. Trees shaded her one-way street between Carey Avenue and Carlisle Street. Meyers High School, Miner Park and Geisinger South Wilkes- Barre, formerly Mercy Hospital, are located nearby. The neighborhood is made up mainly of single-family houses with a few apartment buildings mixed in. The front lawns are, for the most part, neatly kept. Red and purple petunias grew in pots at the foot of the front steps of a house across from the Careys’ residence. The chrome of a Harley-Davidson motorcycle parked in front of a house reflected the morning sun. Decorative flags, one of them imprinted with “Spring into Summer,” hung from porches. A movable basketball hoop and backboard stood on the pave- ment farther up the block. Police calls A police SWAT team converged on an apartment building toward the Carey Avenue intersection about two years ago, Carey said. The building continues to draw police and neigh- bors’ attention because of fights and noise, she added. She and her husband identified other places: On nearby Sterling Street a woman was fatally shot in front of her son inside their apart- ment in December 2011. The resi- dents of a building in the 300 block of Carey Avenue were kicked out and left behind a mess. On the next block, a double-block building has been vacant for years. The window of another residence on the avenue was shot out. The recent report of people arrest- ed for dealing heroin outside a store nearby on Hanover Street unnerved Carey. “My mom is 83. She shops there. I won’t let her go up there anymore,” she said. “I’m afraid. I’m afraid for her.” Two weeks ago a friend was driv- ing on Old River Road near Miner Park and came upon a police car and an officer who asked for help, Carey recalled. Two children were left inside a car parked on the street while the driver left to play basketball at the park, she said her friend told her. One of the children was “no more than a couple months old,” Carey said. The friend assisted the officer because “he had a hard time getting the children out of their car seats,” she said. At times Carey sits on her front porch and sees strangers walking by. “We don’t know the people,” she said. “It’s hard to trust them.” It’s just as hard for her to have con- fidence in the mayor. “He didn’t give me the sense that he cares,” Carey said. She would be willing to work with him, but first she wants him to listen. She sent an email to mayor and was awaiting a response. “I would like to sit down and talk with him,” Carey said. “I would like him to get an ordinary person’s view.” JON O’CONNELL
[email protected] NAACP From page 1A laws are being proposed? Obviously, I think it is being done to suppress the black vote, to suppress the minority vote. In the state of Pennsylvania there are more registered Democrats than there are Republicans, by about a million. African- Americans almost make up that difference — at least 600,000 to 700,000. (Editor: Officials with the Pennsylvania Democratic Party said there are about 600,000 registered African-American Democrats in the state.) Do you think there are issues involving IDs that need to be addressed? Most people, we have a driv- er’s license or something like that. But I was surprised by how many people didn’t fall into that category. But many of them are still able to receive benefits from Social Security or other kinds of federal benefits. So why not, when a young person becomes 18 years of age, put a photo on their Social Security card? You may not have to renew them as often, but they’re free. You’re sup- posed to be able to get 10 Social Security cards in your lifetime. I worked for Social Security. I’ve seen people who had as many as 20. So I think they should look into that as a possibility. You have encouraged local people to attend an Aug. 24 voting rights rally in Washington, D.C. Tell us about your concerns with the Supreme Court’s ruling. Last year you had Voter ID and all kinds of stuff going on across the country. Take Ohio, and the stuff that they were doing. (Editor: An Ohio law passed in 2011 would have limited early voting provisions includ- ing weekend voting. Democratic critics alleged that this was intended to make it more diffi- cult for the elderly, disabled, stu- dents, minorities and the poor to vote because many of them typically vote for Democrats. It was repealed in May 2012, amid mounting pressure for a referen- dum on the legislation.) We were worried, the NAACP and other groups. But you know what? People showed up. The people were willing to wait in long lines to exercise their right to vote — some stood for seven, eight hours — to exercise that right. And I think that all Americans, all of us, should be outraged that American citizens are having dif- ficulty voting when we can go into foreign countries and pro- mote democracy, and then deny it to some of our own people. That’s wrong. Basically, what this Supreme Court has done has thrown the issue back to Congress, under- standing that Congress is too polarized. Do you think President Obama’s race is a factor in creating a more polarized political environment? Absolutely. I remember read- ing before the (2008) election, one white supremacist saying that he hoped Obama would win, because he hoped that that would help their recruiting efforts. And then, in this past elec- tion, in 2012, the percentage of African-Americans who voted outperformed the whites, and that’s the first time that hap- pened. (Editor: Census Bureau fig- ures released this year found that 66.2 percent of eligible blacks voted in the 2012 presi- dential election, outpacing the 64.1 percent figure for non-His- panic whites. Blacks were the only race or ethnic group to show a significant increase between the 2008 and 2012 elections in the likelihood of voting, census research found.) Why do you need to come up with these rules to make voting more difficult? Why is there so much hatred? I don’t understand it. Talk about the relationship between black people and the Republican Party. It has changed over the course of history. Why is that? It wasn’t until (Franklin D.) Roosevelt that African- Americans became mostly Democratic. They used to be Republicans because of Lincoln and the Civil War and all that. The Republicans are fighting over the Hispanic vote, and they should be fighting over our vote, too. I don’t’ think they want to address some of the issues that we are concerned about. What I can’t understand is, they have alienated the black vote, they’re not sure what they want to do with the Hispanic vote. With young people, they’re saying you can’t use your college ID. And then, on top of it, I can’t understand why they are going after the women like they are. They talk about government overreach, but yet they are pre- pared to reach into the woman’s womb. Are you disappointed in President Obama for any- thing? No, because he is the presi- dent of the United States. A lot is being expected of him. I know some of us wish he could speak out more strongly or more force- fully, but I understand he is the president of the United States. And I think most of us, in our community, know that. Are you disappointed in the National Security Agency’s domestic spying program? You know what? I think (for- mer government contractor Edward) Snowden took an oath. I took an oath when I joined the United States Air Force to uphold the Constitution of these United States. It’s a double edged-sword. We should know what our govern- ment is doing in our name, but I honestly believe we tell too much. Are you going to tell the terror- ists everything we’re doing? You can’t do that. But I understand (the spying) is a hard thing, for civil libertarians, to justify. Do you feel that civil rights gains made 50 years ago are being turned back? Absolutely. You’ve got what they’re doing with the Voting Rights Act, and then you have this recent Trayvon Martin ver- dict. This is like the wild, wild West. Why would you have these stand your ground laws? (Ed: Pennsylvania has its own version, passed in 2011.) These laws like this are meant to benefit the white folks. Because now, as a white person, if you get into an altercation with a black person, if you feel that your life is threatened, you can use deadly force. My son, he’s a hardworking young man, and he’s respectful, and he’s not out there doing anything to harm anyone. He could be walk- ing down the street. If somebody feels threatened, that’s the end. And that’s not right. We’re a bet- ter country than this. What was your first reac- tion to George Zimmerman’s acquittal in Martin’s shooting death? Was I really surprised? No. I don’t think the prosecution did a great job. How could you, in the same state, have a law where a woman fires a warning shot against her husband — who she has a (protective order) against — give her 20 years, and you can’t convince a jury to give Zimmerman some time? Something ain’t right. Do you think there is some- thing different or unique about Florida, and the way the laws are structured, or the political landscape there? I don’t think it’s necessarily unique to Florida. What it’s telling us is that people have got to start paying attention and participating in the political process. I believe we as a people, black folk, don’t take strong enough interest in the political process. We need to vote as strongly in local elections as we are in national elections. Do you think there are issues unique to black people that may keep some from par- ticipating in the electoral pro- cess? Yeah, a lot of people don’t believe their vote counts. But it does. It means a lot. It would mean a lot if we showed up in these off-year elections. My honest belief? The next great milestone for us is our ability to engage in the political process. And what about your per- sonal future with the local NAACP? This is my ninth term. At the end of next year, I will have com- pleted 18 years. I was hoping to do 20 and then call it quits. I am trying to prepare someone to be my successor. We have come a long way in Wilkes-Barre, from the time we were a unit of anonymity, and nobody knew about it. Now, people call us from all over Northeastern Pennsylvania. We’ve done some good things to help people. Where I get the most joy is when you’re out in public and somebody walks up and says, “you’re the NAACP! Whoa. Thank you, you’re doing a good job.” That’s where you get your inspiration. What parting wisdom would you offer to your eventual suc- cessor? What we do, what the NAACP does, is listen to both sides of the story — there’s two sides to every story — not to do some- thing simply because someone screams racism. Be sure that you have all of the facts. Don’t back down when you feel you are speaking out for righteousness. One thing I can say, the NAACP this year has done 15 years of the diversity picnic, where we bring people together. We’ve had racial summits, where we’ve brought people together. We try to give people an environment to speak in where they don’t feel they’re going to be called a racist for having questions. We had three racial summits that provided us with that. We had a former white supremacist take part in the summit. Whoever takes over, be fair and be honest and do what you feel is right. WILKES-BARRE — The Garretts said they never had trouble with ticks and mosquitoes before the house next door was aban- doned. This year, Doris Garrett said she picked ticks from her dog, Kc, on seven or eight occasions, and sit- ting on the back porch has grown unpleasant. “You can’t sit out here at night because, my Lord, the mos- quitoes,” she said. The grass has grown almost knee-high, and, the family said, workers from a hired lawn company told them they were instructed to mow only the tree lawn in front of the house and part of the backyard. Doris Garrett called the city health department late last month and was told the homeowners, Mark and Tracey Robinson who used to live in the house, would be cited for neglecting their lawn, she said. If the homeowners did not follow through, the city’s public works department would oversee the grass-cutting, said Doris Garrett. The Robinsons could not be contacted for comment about the property. Grass there seemingly has grown well over the city’s 6-inch limit. City Municipal Affairs Manager Drew McLaughlin said the city cuts the grass regularly for other prop- erties in the city — he couldn’t say exactly how many — and fines the land- owners for the cost of labor and supplies. “There are more than several through- out the city that we have to maintain in addition to parks and other city prop- erties,” McLaughlin said. “This is why you bring on extra part-time employees in the summer.” The Garretts have lived in their home in one of South Wilkes-Barre’s quieter neighborhoods since 1961. Doris Garrett remembers when her chil- dren, now grown, played with kids on the street and all homeowners took pride in their property. Roger Garrett blamed a lackadaisical city adminis- tration for what he consid- ers to be the city’s overall declining curb appeal. Wilkes-Barre’s a small city, he said, explaining that holding homeowners accountable for keeping their properties present- able shouldn’t be such a challenge. “If I was mayor of this city,” he said, “first thing I would do is say, ‘Property owners, keep up your property.’” A warning notice from UGI utility hangs from the front doorknob of the empty house and dusty notices taped to the door mark it as vacant. It looks as if someone tried forc- ing entry through the back door. “We know what the prob- lem is. It’s going to cost too much to make it liv- able again,” Roger Garrett said, nodding toward tarps covering most of the roof. On windy days, he said, shingle chunks blow into their yard. McLaughlin said he’d look into the Race Street property to make sure the grass gets cut and inspec- tors look for any hazards that might have arisen due to neglect. “We’ll get it taken care of in short order,” he said.

Palmer noted that close friends of the couple, some of whom he has known since the mid-1970s when he lived in Greenwich Village in New York, couldn’t attend the ceremony because of the distance and travel. Neither could much of Palmer’s family, most of whom also live in Pennsylvania. “If we had our choice, we would have gotten married in Pennsylvania. That is why we were very happy that Mary Catherine and the ACLUand the law office that is also represent- ing us chose us (to participate in the lawsuit),” Palmer said. “We got married in Maine because Ed’s family, his aunt and his cousins live up there.” InJanuary, whenMainepassed its Marriage Equality Act, “we decided that’s where we wanted to get married because we had no idea whether Pennsylvania at that point was going to even budge on the issue,” he said. Roper, who got to know the couple while preparing the law- suit, said there’s more to the story regarding their decision to get married, prodding them for details. “He got on his knee and pro- posed to me,” Palmer gushed. Couple met in 1988 Palmer and Hill met at a retreat in the Poconos in 1988. It was the Kirkridge Retreat and Study Center in Bangor — the first Christian retreat center that offered retreats to the Lesbian/ Gay/Bisexual/Transgender com- munity, Hill said. Earlier in life, Hill, who hails from the Pittsburgh area, said he fought “tooth and nail” accept- ing that he was gay because at the time “it was viewed as an illness.” He “jumped at the chance” to get married back then, because he sawit as “a way out.” He and his wife had a son, but their marriage fell apart after seven years. A graduate of the University of Pittsburgh, Hill also served in the U.S. Navy as a sonar techni- cian aboard the USS Brooke dur- ing the Vietnam War. He worked for a while for the Allegheny County Health Department and then for more than 20 years for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, where he oversaw pro- grams to support veterans. After graduating from Wilkes, Palmer earned a master’s in the- ology from Drew University. He was about to become a minister, but the Methodist Church didn’t accept gay ministers, and he was just then in the process of com- ing out as a gay man. He went on to work at the Newark Museum for 30 years, eventually becoming director of exhibitions. New Jersey to Poconos The couple lived in Maplewood, N.J., for seven years and then bought a 3-acre tract adjacent to the retreat center in Bangor at which they met. “It was terribly romantic,” Hill said. The home of the retreat cen- ter founder was situated on the land, and they turned it into a bed and breakfast, naming it the Arrowheart Inn. The couple ran the bed and breakfast for 12 years until, as they said, they “retired for real” in 2008. Hill said he and Palmer had a lot of discussion about whether they should get married at all before Palmer finally agreed. “David would say, ‘Well, what difference will it make? We wouldn’t be considered mar- ried here in Pennsylvania.’ I just said, well, I think this is the time. We’ve been together 25 years. And, after many times on my knee, he finally said yes, that he would marry me up in Kennebunk. And it made a huge difference for both of us,” Hill said. That huge difference is noted in the lawsuit: “It meant the world to them to be able to stand before loved ones and declare their love and commitment and to be able to call one another hus- band.” Practical matters In addition to the romantic element of marriage, there are practical aspects that can’t be ignored, Palmer said. The lawsuit notes that like many seniors on fixed incomes, Palmer and Hill are concerned about managing financially in their retirement. They are espe- cially worried that when one of them dies, the widower will be denied the estate tax protections Pennsylvania law provides to married couples. “The fact that we do not have marriage equality in Pennsylvania (negatively) affects older people like us,” Palmer said. “Should one of us pass away, the other has to pay … inheritance tax on everything that we own together … It would be zero if our marriage was rec- ognized in Pennsylvania.” The lawsuit notes that the couple worked hard to save extra money for retirement so that nei- ther of them would be forced out of their home due to the large tax bill that will come when one of them dies. “But losing such a large share of the family’s assets will sig- nificantly reduce the economic security of the surviving spouse and the standard of living he will have for the rest of his years.” Roper said there are some 900 laws in Pennsylvania alone that treat people differently depend- ing on whether they’re married, in addition to 1,100 laws at the federal level, most of which Palmer and Hill won’t be able to benefits from. “Things like Social Security survivor benefits, and things like whether or not you’re recognized as the decision maker when one of you goes to the hospital. It’s just kind of everything, and all of that is more immediate for peo- ple who are older,” Roper said. Lawsuit’s path Roper said it’s encouraging that Kane, the attorney general, refusedtodefendthe suit because she believes Pennsylvania’s mar- riage law is unconstitutional. Attorneys from the Office of the Governor can represent the state. Roper said the defendants have until the end of the month to file a response to the suit, but likely will need and be granted additional time. “The next stage will be gath- ering the evidence, because we think it’s really important to conduct a trial at which we say to the judge, ‘They say they have some reasons for discriminating against our couples. Let’s hear the reasons.’ We’ll go through them one by one. We’ll disprove all of them,” Roper said. King’s professor brings shrouded history to light ‘Gareth Jones: Eyewitness to the Holodomor’ An unknown journalist, an unknown famine CHRISTOPHERJ. HUGHES
[email protected] “GARETH JONES: EYEWITNESS TO THE HOLODOMOR” Author: Ray Gamache Publisher: Welsh Academic Press Available: Expected for release in early August, pre- orders available at amazon.comfor $57. Paperback edi- tions forthcoming. The latest bookby Bear Creek Township resident Ray Gamache, a King’s College assistant profes- sor of mass communica- tions, actually began with another book. “In 2010, a Harvard scholar by the name of Timothy Snyder pub- lished a book called ‘Bloodlands.’ It’s a his- torical account of eastern Europe between1932and 1945. In that first chapter of his book, he mentions this guy, Gareth Jones, writing about this fam- ine in the Soviet Union in 1932-33,” Gamache explained. That unknown journal- ist touched off an intrigue in Gamache that resulted in the first scholarly look at Jones’ impact in report- ing on the Holodomor, a famine in the Ukraine that claimed an estimated 4 million lives. He was fortunate to connect with Jones’ niece, Dr. Margaret Siriol-Colley, before her death in 2011. She sent hima copy of Jones’ biography that she wrote with her son, Nigel Colley, titled “More Than a Grain of Truth. “At that point, I was really committed to doing it,” Gamache said. He returned from a book tour in Great Britain last month touting the 241-page work that included one event sponsored and hosted by the University of Wales in Aberystwyth. King’s also provided Gamache with a research grant in 2012 to travel to Wales and London. A problem with the book’s original printer has delayed its release in the United States, but Gamache said he expects they’ll be available early next month. Times Leader: The Holodomor, by some accounts, was a man-made famine. Is that what you found in conducting research for this book? Ray Gamache: “Policies enacted by (Joseph) Stalin and the politburo certainly worsened conditions over the winter of 1932 and through the summer of 1933. Thereis somedatathat shows that is wasn’t solelyman- made, but climactic conditions certainly contributedto what was, for ‘32/’33, a low harvest. You’ve got to also look at the fact that the Soviets were still exporting grain at this time. Exporting more than 1 million tons of grain when your own people are starving worsened the conditions a great deal. … For Ukrainians today, they do look at it as a genocide.” TL: What about Jones’ mentionin“Bloodlands” attracted you to his story? R.G.: “I hadn’t heard of Gareth Jones or about this famine. That was reallythe beginningof what intrigued me to want to look more. It didn’t take me long before I found out a little bit about Gareth Jones and who he was. Almost immediately you find out that a journalist by the name of Walter Durante, writing for the New York Times, denied that there was a famine going on. That controversy from an American point of view also intrigued me.” TL: What had Jones learned about the Soviet Union that prompted his report? R.G.: “Inthefall of 1932, hehearsfromseveral people who have come back fromthe Soviet Union. …They’re saying there’s a famine in the Soviet Union. Jones decides he’s got to go back and investigate this and see for himself what’s going on. (He previously traveled to the Soviet Union in 1930 and 1931, Gamache said.) “By March of 1933, however, the Soviets had banned all travel outside of Moscow, outside of the cities. Nobody could travel unescorted. Jones secures permission to travel from Moscow to this city in the Ukraine, Kharkov. Halfway there, he gets off the train, and he starts walking through the villages and he sees for himself what’s really hap- pening and how devastating this famine really is.” Get ready to practice your crane pose on your next vacation. Plenty of hotels are offering yoga classes these days (we shared some of our favorites previously), which means the bar for pleasing yoga-loving travelers has gotten even higher. Literally. Hotels looking to top the competition have moved their yoga classes skyward. These five gorgeous hotels in cities across the United States offer rooftop yoga classes — and often, impressive views to go along with them. Z HOTEL, NEW YORK CITY The Z hotel is a hip boutique in the up-and-coming neighborhood of Long Island City, Queens, and its rooftop bar has jaw-dropping views of the New York City skyline. Yoga classes are offered on the roof dur- ing the summertime on Saturday mornings, and other rooftop fitness classes are held throughout the week (each class requires a small fee). PALOMAR SAN DIEGO The Palomar is one of San Diego’s most luxurious hotels and one of its coolest, with a trendy rooftop bar, zen design and a location just north of the lively Gaslamp Quarter, next to a major concert venue. Hour-long yoga classes take place on Thursday evenings by the rooftop pool while a DJ spins in the background.

It’s raining men in the Poconos BRAD PATTON For The Times Leader I’m no meteorologist, but it looks like it will be raining men through- out Northeastern Pennsylvania all summer long, with high probabil- ity of many area women becoming “thunderstruck.” That’s because the internationally acclaimed “Thunder from Down Under,” an all-male revue of exotic dancers from Australia, is taking up residency every Friday and Saturday at Gypsies Nightclub and Lounge at Mount Airy Casino Resort. Shows start at 8 p.m., beginning tonight and running through Aug. 31. One of the hottest tickets in Las Vegas, the Thunder has been named “Best Male Revue” by the Las Vegas Review-Journal and “Best Adult Attraction” by the AOL City Guide and has been delighting audiences for more than 22 years. Penny Levin, a publicist accom- panying the troupe on its Poconos excursion, said the show offers what she calls “performers who strip” and gives patrons a total pro- duction of acrobatics and choreog- raphy. It doesn’t involve full-frontal nudity or anything like what was seen in “Magic Mike,” she said, but it is all about the empowerment of women. “If you guys can go to a strip club,” she said, “guess what, honey, women can go and let loose and whoop and holler, too.” The newest member of the troupe, 26-year-old Dylan Yeandle, has been bringing the thunder for eight months as both a performer and the master of ceremonies for the evening. “I am a plumber by trade,” Yeandle said in a recent telephone interview with The Times Leader. “And I was a finalist on ‘Australia’s Got Talent,’ billed as a singing strip- per. The crew in Las Vegas saw me, flew me over for an audition, and I have been doing this ever since. “I do everything in the show,” he continued. “I introduce the boys and am sort of the glue that holds it together, making it hotter and more fun. “And, yes, I sing and dance and drop my pants,” he said with a chuckle. Yeandle, who confided his ulti- mate career goal is to be a TV pre- senter (host) “once things start to head south,” said he gets all the usual questions when people find out what he does. “‘What’s it like?’ ‘Do you take it all off?’ and other lovely stuff like that,” he said. “People are definitely interested, shocked, and want to know more about it when they find out.” Yeandle said “Thunder from Down Under” has two teams: one performs every night of the year (except Christmas and Easter) at the Excalibur in Las Vegas, and the other is on the road in the U.S. for 10 months a year. It spends the other two months doing shows in Australia. “I live my life on the road, so unfortunately I don’t have time for personal relationships,” he said when asked if he has ever had fric- tion in his relationship due to his job. “So it’s no girlfriend for me right now, but if I were in one place, I’m sure it wouldn’t be a problem as we keep it very professional.” He said the dancers work out with heavy weights six days a week (they have Sundays off) and are strict when it comes to nutrition, though that can be difficult with so much time on the road. “We do the best we can with what we have,” he said. “If we go to McDonald’s, we get a chicken wrap and water or whatever, or we make up for it later in the gym.” Asked if he had any advice for American men now that we are heading further into swimsuit sea- son, he didn’t hesitate and said, “Make sure you have a good tan. Rock whatever body you have, and as long as it browns nicely, you’re good to go.” COURTESY PHOTOS Thunder from Down Under is the latest non-gambling attraction to come to Mount Airy Casino Resort.

Here are some top picks, chosen by young readers: “The Mouse with the Question Mark Tail” By Richard Peck (Fiction, 224 pages) Basic story line: Queen Victoria lives in Buckingham Palace. But behind the walls and under the floorboards live the mice. And for every job a human does, a mouse is doing it too — and bet- ter. The smallest mouse in the palace, Mouse Minor, is determined to find out who he really is. “Who were my parents, and what am I meant to do?” he wonders. He sets out on a journey to meet Queen Victoria herself and ask her his questions. In his quest for self-discovery, the tiny mouse journeys to new and exciting worlds. Are the characters believable? The charac- ters are definitely believ- able, especially Mouse Minor. When he’s attend- ing the Royal Mews Mouse Academy, he is faced with bullies who pick on him terribly. The author cap- tures bullying very real- istically and makes you want to yell at the bullies to leave Mouse Minor alone. I was able to relate to Mouse Minor through- out the story, and I think other kids will be able to relate to him too. Rating (scale of 1 to 10, 10 being best): 10 It’s fun to see Mouse Minor figure out who he is. (Be on the lookout for a surprising conclusion!) I also like the fact that the author includes histori- cal context for the story. I think animal-lovers and anyone looking for a good read will truly enjoy this book. — Amelia Compton, 10 ••• “The Ability” By M.M Vaughan (Fantasy, 336 pages) Basic story line: Christopher Lane is an outcast. His mother pays little attention to him, and he has grown up feeling unwanted. But that chang- es when Christopher’s nat- ural gifts are recognized by the prestigious Holt Academy. He finds out that he has special powers and learns how to use his gifts. Eventually, though, he faces great challenges. And if he wants to keep his new life, he will have to overcome them. Are the characters believable? The char- acters are very believ- able. Readers will find Christopher Lane easy to relate to because of his reactions to situations and people. When Miss Sonata of the Holt Academy acknowledges his true potential, he is surprised and humbled that someone appreciates him. When he realizes that his teachers at the academy have faith in him, he starts to have faith in himself. Rating: 8 If you enjoy stories filled with mystery and suspense, then it is a must- have addition to your booklist. — Storm Bria-Rose Bookhard, 12 ••• “Below” By Meg McKinlay (Realistic fiction, 224 pages) Basic story line: The day Cassie is born, the mayor of Old Lower Grange pulls a lever that floods the town. The citi- zens cheer as they begin their new lives in new houses at New Lower Grange. Twelve years later, Cassie finds herself wondering what secrets lie beneath the lake. She and her friend Liam discover the hidden past someone tried so hard to cover up. Are the characters believable? I would say they are. I could relate to them easily, and they definitely seem like people I would want to meet! Cassie, the main charac- ter, is the first baby born in New Lower Grange, which makes her special. Rating: 9 It is kind of hard to keep up with, but it is a great and interesting story. I really liked this book because I could relate to Cassie, her friendships, and how she spent her summer. Plus, the book has a fascinat- ing mystery. — Faye Collins, 11 ••• “Better to Wish” By Ann M. Martin (Historical fiction, 226 pages) Basic story line: Abby Nichols is 8 years old and living with her parents in a small town in Maine dur- ing the Great Depression. The story follows the ups and downs of Abby’s life. By the end of the book, Abby is 22. To find out what happens to her next, readers will have to wait for the second book in this three-part series. Are the characters believable? The charac- ters are very believable. The author captures their opinions, dislikes and fears. Characters come to life Rating: 10 It is a book about how someone deals with and overcomes her problems. The story is about hope and life. I recommend this book for people of all ages. — Alaa Osman, 10 ••• “Fish Finelli: Seagulls Don’t Eat Pickles” By E.S. Farber (Realistic fiction, 155 pages) Basic story line: Neighborhood bullies Bryce and Trippy chal- lenge Fish Finelli and his friends Roger and T.J. to find Captain Kidd’s lost treasure. In the action- packed adventure that follows, Fish and his pals trespass on an island and meet many interesting people. But do they man- age to find the lost trea- sure? You’ll have to read the book to find out. Are the characters believable? The charac- ters are believable because the author describes them as having the types of per- sonalities that real kids have. For example, T.J. is the master of snacks; he always has a spare lollipop or a handful of chips to spare. Fish is an average kid who is determined to get the $54.53 he needs to buy his prized boat motor. Roger is Fish’s best friend and helps Fish in any situ- ation. Rating: 8 I really like the way the story played out and kept me entertained on each page. I enjoyed how the characters worked together to earn some- thing for a common cause. E.S. Farber is an amazing author and will have you reading nonstop until the end. — Yusuf Halabi, 9 ••• “Hero on a Bicycle” By Shirley Hughes (Historical fiction, 224 pages) Basic story line: During World War II, Florence, Italy, is occu- pied by Nazi forces. Thirteen-year-old Paolo Crivelli and his sister, Costanza, are without their father, who was forced into hiding. Paolo sneaks out many nights and rides his bicycle through the dangerous city streets, pretending to be a hero. He thinks his thrilling adventures are a secret, but his mother and sister know what he is doing — and worry about his safety. One night, the Partisans, a group of Italians fighting for freedom, find Paolo and ask him to deliver a message to his mother. The message asks her to hide two escaped prison- ers of war. The Crivellis do as they are asked, but they often feel that the risk they have taken on is too dangerous. Are the characters believable? Yes. The reader can feel the risks and dangers through the main characters. Paolo is a typical boy, and the reader discovers a connec- tion with him through his adventures and desire to be a hero. Constanza, his 16-year-old sister, likes to escape from the family’s anxiety by listening to music. Their mother has lots to worry about, and the read- er feels empathy for all her burdens. Rating: 9 Shirley Hughes does a great job describing the setting. You feel like you are in the story! The book incorporates historical characters with fun and adventurous personali- ties. Hero on a Bicycle is a great read that many people would enjoy. — Bridget Bernardo, 11 ••• “House of Secrets” By Chris Columbus and Ned Vizzini (Fantasy Fiction, 496 pages) Basic story line: A man named Denver Kristoff writes a novel called “The Book of Doom and Desire.” The book is magical and has powers that could be destructive if misused. Denver puts a spell on it so she cannot get the book. When the daughter grows older, she sends three kids, Brendan, Cordelia and Eleanor, who are siblings, to go find the book. The quest is extremely dangerous, and they are always in harm’s way. Are the characters believable? The char- acters themselves are believable; however their actions are not, since this is a fantasy book. Rating: 9 It is a terrific mix of comedy, adventure, suspense, and a bit of romance. I think this book is best for kids ages 10 and older, because there are some violent parts. It is a great book from start to finish. — Abhinav Piplani, 11 ••• “This Journal Belongs to Ratchet” ByNancyJ. Cavanaugh (Realistic Fiction, 320 pages) Basic story line: This is the story of a girl, Rachel, who is trying to fit in. But it is a little tricky for her because her father can be embarrass- ing and her being home- schooled doesn’t allow her many opportunities to find friends. Through a series of journal entries, Rachel tells stories about her quest to turn her “old, recycled, freakish, friend- less, motherless life into something shiny and new.” Are the characters believable? The charac- ters are believable because their emotions seem appropriate for whatever is taking place, but I didn’t think the story line was entirely realistic. Rating: 6 I couldn’t relate to the main character. But I real- ly liked how the book was written using different forms of writing, such as poetry and diagrams. —Adriana Palmieri, 10 ••• “My Brother Is A Big, Fat Liar” By James Patterson (Fiction, 304 pages) Basic story line: Georgia Khatchadorian is entering Hills Village Middle School and thinks everything is going to be like elementary school, where she got good grades and had a lot of friends. She even makes a bet with her brother, Rafe, that she will be popular at her new school. But things are different at HVMS. Rafe used to go to this school, but he was kicked out because he broke all the rules. The teachers assume that Georgia is just like her brother, so they give her bad grades. To make matter worse, Georgia gets bullied. Will Georgia be able to change her reputation and win the bet? You’ll have to read the book to find out. Are the characters believable? Some charac- ters are more believable than others. Georgia faces bully- ing, like many kids in real life, and she handles it in a believable way. Then there is Rhonda, a kid who sticks up for Georgia. She always talks in a super loud monotone voice, which makes her seem a bit like a cartoon character. Rating: 9 It is extremely humor- ous, and readers will never want to put it down! — Rylan J. Daniels, 10 ••• “Paperboy” By Vince Vawter (Realistic Fiction, 240 pages) Basic story line: Living with a stutter can be very hard, especially when you have so much to say. Little Man takes on his best friend’s paper route for the summer but has no idea that it will change his out- look forever. His unexpect- ed adventure leads him to newfound friends, prob- lems and worries. The paper route even puts his life in danger. The reader follows Little Man as he navigates these events. Are the characters believable? The author subtly reveals the different perspectives of the char- acters in the story. The characters are relatable, and I found myself rooting for them the whole way through. Rating: 6 It tells an interesting story, providing insight into the life of someone in a unique situation. — Zach Lewis, 12 A summer reading list for kiddos by kiddos MCT ILLUSTRATION TL: What became of Jones?

He’s captured by these Chinese bandits and held supposedly for ransom. Within a couple of weeks, he’s shot and killed. It’s a sad end, and there’s also conjecture that he was set up, perhaps by the Soviet secret police. … While I don’t really get into that very much in the book, it’s another piece of intrigue that certainly con- tributes to his overall story.” TL: What are youproud- est of, having completed this book? R.G.: “As a media histo- rian, I’m most proud of rec- ognizing that Jones’ work is important in terms of docu- menting what happened at this time. This devastating famine was not thoroughly covered. Jones’ work was not thoroughly analyzed. To be the first scholar to do a very detailed work on Jones’ contributions as a journalist, I’mvery pleased with that.” MSRP $23,779 D3048893 $ 219 ** OR BUY FOR PlusTax &Tags.

You have every- thing you need to get started right here in Wyoming Valley. Once you have your 1861-1865 mili- tary man’s name, go to “History of Pennsylvania Volunteers,” by Samuel Bates. Start with the last four volumes, an alphabetized index published in 1994 giving basic information (enlistment date, injuries, discharge) for each sol- dier. Armed with the ancestor’s name (watch for variant spellings) and regi- ment, look up the regiment in the first nine volumes, published in 1869. You’ll find, among other items of informa- tion, the regiment’s structure and his- tory. Appendices cover corps badges, abbreviations of military terms and other useful facts. The name and regiment will be suf- ficient for you to go to the National Archives website and fill out the request form for the soldier’s military and pension records. Search at www. archives.gov. There is more local information avail- able. If your ancestor was an important figure in the community, some of the older history books that are heavy on biography could be of interest to you and even offer a photo. The largest one is the Smith-Harvey “History of Wilkes-Barre and Wyoming Valley” (1929). This work, incidentally, offers in Vol. IV, Chapter XLVI, a listing of regiments and companies that enrolled local men. “History of Luzerne County, Pa.,” by H.C. Bradsby (1893) gives good information on local troops in Vol. I, Chapter 7. Emerson Moss’ book “African-Americans in the Wyoming Valley” (1992) contains in Appendix B a list of local black troops and their regiments. “Serving Their Country, Defending the Commonwealth” (2013) by William V. Lewis Jr. does not give rosters, but it does discuss local regi- ments and troops in the 1863 Battle of Gettysburg. All these books are available at the Luzerne County Historical Society’s Bishop Memorial Library, 49 S. Franklin St., Wilkes-Barre. Many more works are available there, including picture books showing everything from early militia groups to the magnificent GAR Hall the veterans built on South Main Street. City direc- tories, which start in 1870, can tell you where an ancestor lived locally after the war. As for soldiers’ graves in the region, consult “Gone But Not Forgotten” (2001) by Ryan Lindbuchler. The text has a lot of good stories and photos, and the accompanying disc will give you the burial sites. In the late 19th and early 20th centu- ries, the Wilkes-Barre Record Almanac published an annual list of local deaths. If you have a veteran’s name, you might find his obituary in the newspaper microfilm. Records Update: Local research- ers will soon enjoy digital access to more of the area’s historic weekly newspapers, thanks to the Northeast Pennsylvania Genealogical Society’s ongoing records preservation program. The group expects to complete the entire run of the West Side Weekly (ceased publication 1998) this summer and has begun work on the Wyoming Observer, a Sunday paper (1967-1979). The Dallas Post, an active publication that dates back more than a century, is slated for digitizing this fall. “We have a number of churches, cem- eteries, books and other vital records on a waiting list,” said President Alan P.

OUT ONA LIMB It’s easier than you think to fnd your Civil War ancestor Tom Mooney Edgy new play spotlights death-row teens in Iran NASSER KARIMI Associated Press TEHRAN, Iran — The curtain opens. Six nooses hang above a group of teenage inmates, who are making chairs in a prison workshop to be used as platforms in their own hangings. The audience gasps. This is theater that’s raw, edgy and political — and it’s all been cleared by the Iranian authorities, even though they have tightened controls on speech. The production, trans- lated from Farsi as “The Blue Feeling of Death,” opened last month as a showcase of activist art against Iran’s legal codes that allow death sentences for juvenile offenders — who then wait until their 18th birthday for execu- tion. Opening night came even as Iranian officials tightened controls on social media and other forms of political opposi- tion ahead of last month’s presidential elections, whose centrist win- ner, Hasan Rouhani, has brought hope of reversing some of the crackdowns. The play tells the true stories of seven juvenile death-row inmates and the families on all sides of their crimes. It also seeks to raise money for defense lawyers and social work- ers trying to overturn death sentences on young people through Iran’s sys- tem that allows families of victims to spare the life of the prisoner. “Through the stage, we can affect many people — even the families of victims,” the play’s direc- tor, Amin Miri, said after a recent performance. “We are trying to give greater courage.” The play also shows the unpredictable enforce- ment of Iran’s cultural overseers. Dozens of journalists, filmmakers and others have been arrested or fled the country in recent years over allegations of opposing Iran’s Islamic establishment or stirring political dissent. These red lines still exist, but officials can give their AP PHOTOS Iranian actress Sami Moslemi performs a scene from ‘The Blue Feeling of Death.’ Opening night came even as Iranian officials tightened controls on the social media and other forms of political opposition before presidential elections. nod to works exploring social issues or other topics that don’t directly target the ruling clerics. In 2008, a documentary filmmaker had permis- sion to research Iran’s rising number of sex- change operations, which have been legal under a religious edict, or fatwa, issued shortly after the 1979 Islamic Revolution. The 2012 Oscar-winning film, “A Separation,” by Asghar Farhadi, was hailed by Iranian authori- ties even though its plot is a harsh commentary on Iranian society through the viewpoint of a col- lapsing marriage. In 2003, Farhadi directed “Shahr-e Ziba,” named after the neighborhood where the Tehran Correction Center is located, to portray the destinies of young con- victs as well as the fami- lies of victims. Still, last year Iranian officials ordered the clo- sure of the House of Cinema, an independent film group that had oper- ated for 20 years and counted Iran’s top film- makers, including Farhadi, among its members. The site has remained closed because of hard-line pres- sure despite a ruling to allow its reopening. “Blue Feeling” has been able to walk the line between criticizing the legal codes that allow death sentences for young people — a practice con- demned by Amnesty International and other rights groups —and show- ing that there are options in Iran’s system for mercy. Once a death sentence is imposed in a murder case, the victim’s family can withdraw the punish- ment in place of jail time — and often payments known in the Islamic world as “blood money.” Eighteen death-row inmates — some as young as 15 — were inter- viewed to build the play’s story line, director Miri said. He was inspired to explore the issue by a move by some judges to postpone carrying out the hangings of inmates once they reached 18 in hopes of persuading victims’ families to withdraw the punishment. Among the stories in production is that of two young girls sentenced to death for killing their father when they were 12 and 15. Their fate — execution or imprison- ment — is in the hands of an uncle, aunt and their grandmother. “I felt as if I was com- municating the mes- sage of the play when I heard and saw the reactions from the audi- ence,” said Mina Karimi Jebeli, who plays one of the young murderers. At a recent performance at the Arasbaran Cultural Center in north Tehran, some of the theatergoers sobbed. “It was very emotional,” said 23-year-old Arezou Ziaei. “I cannot believe that such people are wait- ing for death.” Executions in Iran are increasingly carried out in prison gallows — often with a chair or bench kicked out from under the inmate — but public hang- ings still occur, with the condemned prisoner hoist- ed up by a crane attached to a rope and noose. In the past, the age of criminal responsibil- ity in Iran was defined by “maturity,” — 9 for girls and 15 for boys. Iran’s parliament, however, amended laws in 2011 to block death sentences on anyone under 15 and give judges more leeway to impose substitute sen- tences on juveniles con- victed of murder. While the number of juveniles sentenced to death in Iran is relatively small, rights group say it violates international treaties on treatment of young suspects. In January, a 21-year- old Iranian man was exe- cuted for his alleged role in a murder committed when he was 17, activist groups say. In 2012, at least one of the more than 300 people executed in Iran had been sentenced as a juvenile. Two other countries, Saudi Arabia and Sudan, are known to have exe- cuted someone in recent years for a crime com- mitted before they were 18, according to New York-based Human Rights Watch. Last September, Ahmed Shaheed, the U.N. special rapporteur on Iran, urged Iranian authorities to abolish cap- ital punishment in juve- nile cases. A lawyer, Nemat Ahmadi, welcomed the performance as a chance to push lawmakers and authorities to contem- plate further judicial reforms. “Such a play,” he said, “is able to awaken public opinion.” M .J.

Instead of pining over what you might have been able to do had you had the means, take advantage of the many offerings available. Free public happenings are exceptionally lucky for you now. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The special project on deck feels like something out of your school days, with reports, displays and even accompanying food items. You’ll have fun with this one as long as you don’t wait until the last minute. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It takes a special kind of strength and restraint to look for the humor in the situation. You possess this sort of grace and will make yourself and others laugh today. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll do some fine-tuning of your image. Attention to the details brings social success, not because it makes such a big change in the way people see you, but because it makes you feel more confident. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have a nice way of putting things. For instance, your tact may lead you to label a scene “visually eclectic” instead of “a crazy mess.” Because you’re so positive, you’ll think of solutions that wouldn’t dawn on anyone else. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Spontaneous acts give life meaning. That’s when you feel the most like you, when you’re doing what nobody expected. When they tilt their heads questioningly, you know you’ve caused the whole world to shift because you are in it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Thinking of the future gives you pleasure. You’ve turned the exercise into a kind of escape fantasy, but that’s not to say this future reality of your dreams isn’t possible. Just don’t forget to act and make it real. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Relationships have a lot to teach you, though some of the lessons won’t be obvious to you for many years. That’s why it will help you to write down some of the details about what’s going on in your personal life these days. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). People who’ve had accidents or near-misses often describe themselves as “lucky to be alive.” You don’t need the contrast, though. Today you just naturally have that uplift- ing feeling that life is good. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Keep your eyes on what’s ahead of you. You won’t turn into a pillar of salt if you look backward, but you might become fro- zen in other ways. When moving, it’s best to look where you’re going, not where you’ve been. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Transformations do hap- pen, but they only stick when they are self-mo- tivated and self-created. So don’t try to change another person. Put that energy into becoming who you want to be. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re very clever in your ability to consider every- one’s wishes and come up with a solution that will suit all. You’ll have to sell it, though. Think about your pitch before you make it. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 21). You don’t know the path, but if you start the journey anyway, fate conspires to take you to a beautiful destina- tion. Martin Luther King Jr. said, “Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.” August brings a cash payout. You’ll be promoted in October. September and January are romantic. Capricorn and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 21, 14, 38 and 3. CHILD'S PLAY Amy Johnson 7/21/13 1.

My next-door neighbor (who is a friend) knew we had bought an expensive vacuum cleaner last year. She asked if she could try it out on her carpet and I agreed, thinking it would be a one-time favor. I should add that she watches our house and our cat when we’re traveling, and we do likewise for her. She recently asked if she could borrow it again, and I didn’t know what to say. I didn’t want to let her, so I made an excuse that I needed to buy more vacuum bags. I suspect that she “bor- rowed” it again without my permission two months ago while we were away because the cord wasn’t like I had left it. How can I tactfully handle this situation? She’s on a tight budget and can’t af- ford to buy this particular vacuum herself. — Am I Selfish? Dear Am I Selfish?: Rather than label you selfish, I’d prefer to call you “stuck.” You allowed your friend to use the vacuum once and have given her free run of your home in your absence. Because she has used the vacuum again without your permission, she is likely to do it again. If you’re afraid of the “ick” factor of having “her” dust in your house, you’ll have to tell her plainly that you don’t want her to use the vacuum and probably find another house sitter. Or, knowing she’s short of money, you might let her use the vacuum but suggest that when she uses one of your bags she buy some of her own and replace the one she used with a fresh one. Dear Abby: I am a 19-year- old woman who recently got over a bout of compul- sive hair-pulling that left the top of my head bald. The hair hasn’t completely grown back yet, so I refuse to go anywhere without a hat. When I’m out in public, people often tell me it’s rude to wear a hat indoors. While I understand this, my hair is a sensitive subject that reduces me to tears. What can I say to people when they continue to bad- ger me? — Covered Up in Georgia Dear Covered Up: Point out that it is even MORE rude to criticize someone’s attire when the person may have a legitimate reason for dressing that way. You should also talk with a hair- stylist about buying an in- expensive hairpiece to wear until your hair grows back. That may curtail some of the unsolicited comments you’re receiving. Dear Abby: My mother refuses to get a cellphone. I know she isn’t afraid of technology (she has a tablet and an e-reader). Her ex- planation for how to handle an emergency is: “We will handle it like we did before there were cellphones.” I had to remind her of the limited availability of pay phones or courtesy phones nowadays. Abby, it bothers me that she chooses not to have one. I find it hurtful that an easy way to handle family emergencies is being ig- nored. It’s a simple solution. A prepaid cellphone with a big-numbered keyboard would be a good way for us to be on the same page. Any advice? — Out of Touch in Glens Falls, N.Y. Dear Out Of Touch: Yes. Stop nagging your mother because it’s not working. Experience is the most ef- fective teacher. Your mother will not appreciate what a blessing a cellphone can be until she learns the hard way what it’s like to need one and not have one. This may seem negative, but it’s the truth.

GET THE DI RT OUT OF YOUR CARPETS 80013104 So You Have Been Diagnosed with BREAST CANCER Now What? Dr. Louis Blaum with Student Krishani Patel Ask questions, lots of questions. For starters, you need to choose a surgeon. A credentialed Breast Surgeon. Anything or anyone short of that, in my view is less than comprehensive in the total care of the breast. Breast Surgery is a specialty which requires many years of training, as well as many hours of testing and study in order to meet the rigorous criteria mandated by the American Society of Breast Surgeons (ASBS), in order to be CERTIFIED. Certifcation in Breast Ultra- sound, Stereotactic Needle Biopsies of the breast and profciency in Breast Surgery Techniques are vital in an efort to ofer complete, comprehensive treatment to patients. So, is your choice for a surgeon important? Does documented certifcation and experience matter? YOUBET IT DOES! Information is power. Information is the ability to make the best choices. In keeping with his pioneering spirit and ever increasing thirst for knowledge, Certifed Breast Surgeon, Dr. Louis Blaum, Jr. of BLAUMBreast Care Specialist, LLC continues to lead the feld in ofering the best comprehensive treatments and technological advancements to his patients in the Wyoming Valley and surrounding areas. BRACHY THERAPY is one of those technological advancements. It is used for patients who need radiation treatment to their breast. Te beauty of this treatment option is that instead of the usual 6 weeks for traditional breast radiation, with Brachy Terapy it is 5 days. Radiation is administered by the radiation doctors to the efected breast, through a balloon catheter, which is inserted in the breast by Dr. Blaum, in our ofce. Although not all breast cancer patients will qualify. For those patients that need a lumpectomy or partial mastectomy and meet the necessary criteria, it is an encouraging treatment option. Dr. Blaum is accepting new patients and new patient referrals. Please contact his ofce at 570-714-3911 should you have any breast treatment concerns, or need a second opinion. Ofce hours by appointment. PEACE OF MIND...VICTORY thru FAITH and COURAGE. One Patient at a Time. Breast Cancer, words no one wants to hear, but those who have, there is a new procedure, to recieve your Ra- diation Terapy. Te Contura MLB Brachy Terapy Catheter. Simply put it cuts the radiation therapy from 5 days a week for 6 or 7 weeks to 2 times a day for 5 days. Of course there are restrictions but if you qualify, the procedure is easy. Afer lumpectomy surgery the balloon catheter is inserted in the cavity. Radiation is delivered through the catheter and does not touch your skin (inside or outside). No chance of burns, or skin irritation. It takes minutes for your therapy and afer 5 days the balloon catheter is removed. Te incision is small and visually covered with a band aid. You can also carry on as usual, the catheter does not limit activity, nor ability to wear clothing. If you survive the lumpec- tomy, this procedure is far less than that. Early detection is the key, don’t wait as you may miss the opportunity to try this procedure. - Jennie Henderson New Bridge Center | 480 Pierce Street Kingston, PA 18704 | Phone: 570.714.3911 80014884 Suite 314 July 16-21, 2013 STUCKER TOURS 655-8458 MAINE 9/23-27, 4 BREAK- FASTS, 4 DINNERS INCL.

All that remains is for the British rider to raise it above his head before cheering crowds in Paris today. The Team Sky rider retained his big race lead Saturday in the penulti- mate stage to ensure he will become Britain’s second successive champion after Bradley Wiggins. Only an accident or other freak mis- hap today on the largely ceremonial final ride to the Champs-Elysees could stop Froome from winning the 100th Tour. “It’s been an amaz- ing journey for me, the race has been a fight every single day,” Froome said at the win- ner’s news conference which the Tour holds the evening before the final stage. “This Tour really has had everything. It really has been a special edition this year.” Froome, who was clearly superior and never looked really troubled in the three-week race, finished third Saturday in a dramatic Stage 20 to the ski station of Annecy-Semnoz in the Alps that decided the other podium placings. Nairo Quintana from Colombia won the stage and moved up to second overall. Joaquim Rodriguez from Spain rode in 18 seconds behind Quintana and moved up to third overall. Froome’s lead is more than five min- utes over both of them. Froome said only when he passed the sign showing two kilometers (about a mile) to go on the final steep uphill did he allow himself to believe he’d won the Tour. “It actually became quite hard to concentrate,” he said. “A very emo- tional feeling.” Alberto Contador, who was second overall at the start of the day, strug- gled on that climb and dropped off the podium. Saturday’s 78-mile trek was the last of four successive stages in the Alps and the final significant obstacle Froome needed to overcome before Sunday’s usually relaxed ride to the fin- ish in Paris. That 82-mile jaunt starts in Versailles, at the gates of its palace. Froome’s dominance at this Tour was such that this victory could very well be the first of several. At 28, he is entering peak years for a bike racer. He proved at this Tour that he excels both in climbs and time trials — skills Froome locks upTour de France KEN POWTAK Associated Press Writer BOSTON — Brett Gardner and Lyle Overbay each had three hits and drove in a run to back Hiroki Kuroda’s seven strong innings, carrying the New York Yankees to a 5-2 win over the Boston Red Sox on Saturday afternoon. The victory snapped a three- game losing streak for the injury-riddled Yankees, who hope to be bolstered by the return of captain Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez soon. Mike Carp had three hits and scored a run for the Red Sox. It was just Boston’s sec- ond loss in its last 11 games in Fenway Park. In a matchup veteran right- handers, Kuroda and John Lackey both mostly relied on fastballs in the low 90s with hard sliders to go along with outstanding control. The pair combined for just one walk — by Kuroda — and threw a high percentage of strikes. Kuroda (9-6) gave up two runs, five hits, striking out four with a pair of wild pitches — one that led to a run. All Star game MVP Mariano Rivera entered to a nice ova- tion and worked the ninth for his 31st save. Robinson Cano added two RBIs. The game was tight when Lackey left with a pair of run- ners on, trailing 2-0 in the seventh. New York then built its lead to 4-0 in the inning on consecutive RBI singles by Cano and Overbay against reliever Matt Thornton. Lackey (7-7) was charged with four runs on 10 hits in 6 1-3 innings, striking out seven. It snapped a stretch of six consecutive starts when he’s allowed two or fewer runs, and was just the third time in his 17th starts this season he’s given up more than three. Jonny Gomes had a sacri- fice fly and Carp scored on Kuroda’s wild pitch, cutting it to 4-2 in the seventh. Pitching in sweltering condi- tions with a game-time tempera- ture of 91 with oppressive humid- ity, the pair battled through four scoreless innings until New York took a 1-0 lead in the fifth on Gardner’s two-out, RBI single.

The same outlook is true of the season as a whole for the unbeaten Wyoming Valley League champions. Swoyersville is 21-0, but still needs at least three wins over the next four days if it wants to advance to the state tournament. “Eight teams come in here,” Swoyersville manager Sean Toole said. “Stats mean nothing. Records mean noth- ing. It pretty much all gets determined on the field.” “You saw it here, you domi- nate a game for eight innings and you see how quick the tides can turn.” Milton managed just three base runners against Swoyersville lefty Matt Zielen through eight innings Swoyersville hangs on for 2-1 victory Eric Seidle | For The Times Leader Swoyersville’s Jeremy Sabecky beats the tag at second base from Milton’s Michael Jacobs in Saturday’s American Legion playoff game held at Spartan Stadium in Kingston.

[email protected] HANOVER TWP. — The talk after the game was about a pitcher who somehow found the right stuff and a call that went the wrong way for Berwick. But in the end, the bat of Joe Gavenonis spoke the loudest. Gavenonis drove home his team’s first run and later scored the tiebreaker Saturday, leading Greater Pittston to a 5-3 victory over Berwick in an American Legion Region 5 baseball playoff opener at the Hanover Area baseball field. “Joe’s been hot, our hottest hitter,” Greater Pittston man- ager Jerry Ranieli said. “He’s been our rock.” Gavenonis rocked Berwick pitching four three singles and worked a walk during a perfect day at the plate, while extending his playoff hitting streak to six consecutive games. The helped Greater Pittston advance in the win- ner’s bracket of the double- elimination tournament to a 4:30 p.m. game against Jersey Shore at Hanover Area. Berwick will face South Scranton at 1 p.m. in Gavenonis and Greater Pittston stay hotter than the weather AMERICAN LEGION BASEBALL REGION 5 PLAYOFFS DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer GULLANE, Scotland — Lee Westwood passed his first big test Saturday when he outplayed Tiger Woods and grabbed a two-shot lead in the British Open. The next one figures to be the toughest test of all. Westwood somehow salvaged a bogey from the knee-high grass on the 16th, pulled ahead of Woods with a birdie on the 17th and was solid down the last hole for a 1-under 70 that gave him a two-shot lead going into the final day at Muirfield. Widely considered the best player of his generation to have never won a major, Westwood is the 54-hole leader for the second time. Phil Mickelson overtook him in the Masters three years ago. Two other times, Westwood missed a playoff by one shot. “I’m hoping it’s going to turn out differently because I haven’t won one yet and I’d like to win one,” Westwood said. “But what can you do? You can only do what you think is right and put all that prac- tice and hard work you’ve done tomorrow, try not to get in your own way mentally and just focus on the job at hand and believe you’re good enough.” He was plenty good on another warm, sunny after- noon on a course that was noticeable softer but no less demanding. Westwood gets another shot at a major AP photo Lee Westwood plays a shot off the 14th tee during the third round of the British Open at Muirfield, Scotland, on Saturday. Westwood ended the day with a two-stroke lead.

BEST OF THE WEEK: So the RailRiders got to follow future Hall of Famer Derek Jeter’s string of games with a visit from Alex Rodriguez? It doesn’t get much better than that for star power. We only joked last week about bringing the rest of the New York Yankees to town. We checked and Shane Stant is not on retainer to the RailRiders. MISSED OPPORTUNITY: Somehow, Christmas in July came on the final day of a heatwave. Remember back before the season where Rob Crain was making weather guarantees? Where’s our guaranteed snow in summer? Crain had to come through with free tickets when the temperature on opening day didn’t hit 60 degrees. But the master showman surely can make snowballs in summertime. After all, how wonderful would it be to walk through the gates at PNC Field and have snowflakes falling on a 90-degree day? Renting a couple of snow-making machines and offering a temporary winter wonderland would have been a great escape entering the stadium on a hot summer night. Add to that the whole guarantee promotional aspect, and a fun night for all could have been built. COMING UP: The RailRiders are home through Thursday, finishing with Louisville today before four games against Toledo. We love that Monday night’s game is Football Night, complete with a visit from the NEPA Miners and their dance team. Our winner for the week’s best, though, is Superhero Night on Thursday. Kids in costume who are signed up in advance can be part of a pre-game parade on the field, get a comic book, have a VIP picture taken and other great benefits. It’s a super idea. THE WEEK AHEAD RailRideRs extRa The next seven days will probably be welcomed by the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, as they just fact two opponents as opposed to the week before the All-Star break when they saw four diferent teams in a 12-day stretch. They start with four against Toledo at PNC Field then head of to Louisville to begin a four-game road trip. Toledo Mud Hens SWB welcomes the top afliate of the Detroit Tigers to PNC Field starting Monday. The Mud Hens began the weekend with the worst record in the International League, 16 games under the .500 mark. That might not matter too much. When the teams met in May, the RailRiders were four games over .500 and the Mud Hens had the worst record in the league at that point as well. But Toledo took three out of four in Ohio. The RailRiders had to pull out an extra- inning victory in the last game of the series or they would’ve been swept. Toledo outscored Scranton/Wilkes-Barre 29-18 in the four games. The gap in runs in the series is due to a 10-2 win by the Mud Hens in the frst game. At home, the RailRiders have been playing much better after a horrendous start to the season at PNC Field. They entered Friday having won nine of their last 12 games at the stadium, which bodes well for the series with Toledo. If you’re a Tigers fan, it’s a good chance to get out to PNC Field and see some of your team’s top prospects. Outfelders Nick Castellanos and Avisail Garcia, who are ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in the organization by Baseball America, have been playing well this season for the Mud Hens. Castellanos, 21, entered the weekend hitting .283 with 12 home runs, 49 RBI and a .354 on base percentage this season. Garcia, who made his Major League debut earlier this season for Detroit, is also 22-years-old. He’s played in just 21 games for the Mud Hens this season due to his time with the Tigers. But he’s made the most of his time in Toledo, batting .436 with three home runs. Afamiliar face for SWB fans makes his return to Moosic in former SWBYankee Kevin Russo, who played for the Yankees organization from 2006-12. The utility player is batting just .209 for Toledo this season. Louisville Bats The week starts and ends with the RailRiders seeing the Triple-Aafliate of the Cincinnati Reds. Today, the teams lock up ending their four-game series at PNC Field. Once the homestand concludes and Toledo leaves town, the RailRiders head to Louisville for a four-game set starting Friday, as the teams will have their eight season-series matchups in a matter of 12 days. In the frst two games prior to Saturday, the games were split. SWB took the frst game via shutout before losing by one run on Friday night. As shown on Friday, with one of the game’s top prospects, Billy Hamilton, in the lineup, the Bats are a diferent team. The speedster is a game-changer and makes pitchers and catchers do things diferent whether he’s on the bases or at the plate. Hamilton, who stole a Minor League Baseball record 155 bases last season, has swiped 54 bags this season. He’s a two-time Futures Game participant and represented the International League in the Triple-AAll-Star Game last week. Don’t forget about slugger Mike Hessman, who is the active career leader in all of the minors with 405 professional home runs. He’s popped 380 bombs in the minor leagues, 14 in the Major Leagues and six in Japan. Afewformer SWBYankees are currently with the Bats in relievers Kanekoa Texeira and Kevin Whelan. Whelan was an I.L. All-Star in 2011 as the team’s closer, when he saved 23 and was second in the league in the category. He has fve saves this season for Louisville and began Saturday with a 4.46 ERA. He sawtime in the series Thursday and was hit hard, giving up four runs on four hits and two walks in just 2-3 of an inning.

It was just a matter of where. The former King’s College standout set his sights on the Kansas City Royals organization. His first stop turned out to be a good move. He was signed by the Royals as a non-drafted free agent after workouts for two days with the staff of the Burlington Royals, a rookie-league member of the Appalachian League. From there, it took time for Sweeney to make it into a game. That finally happened Sunday after- noon — at a college venue, no less. “I got a little taste of it,” he said after his unsuc- cessful pinch-hitting stint against the Kingsport Mets. The next day, he singled in his first at-bat during his first starting assignment. He played both games of Monday’s doubleheader as Burlington’s left fielder. Those are only a small sample for what Sweeney said he hopes turns out to be a rewarding summer as the Crestwood product takes this venture into a bit of the unknown. “I got asked to come down for a workout,” he said. “They asked if I was still available to sign. This is the only team I worked out for.” Sweeney arrived in Burlington, a city in north central North Carolina, with a goal. If he didn’t receive an offer from the Royals, he was heading to Indiana to play for the Evansville Otters in the independent Frontier League. “I wouldn’t have driven all the way down here without a plan,” he said of the approximate nine-hour trip. With a saturated field at Burlington Athletic Stadium, the workouts were limited to the covered batting cage. Manager Tommy Shields and hitting coach Abraham Nunez, both former big leaguers, conducted the sessions. “We hit in the cage,” said Shields, who also scouts for the organiza- tion. “We couldn’t even get on the field. We told Scott (Sharp, Kansas City’s director of player devel- opment) from what we’ve seen, we’d sign him.” The Burlington roster is comprised of a mixture of prospects, many spending time together in extended spring training. At age 21, Sweeney is the oldest of five outfielders. For Sweeney, it’s a mat- ter of fitting in. “I did it the past two summers playing sum- mer ball,” he said, noting the presence of Division I players. “It will be a tran- sition, but this is nothing too new to me.” His professional debut came about 2½ months since the end of King’s College’s season in late April. In the meantime, Sweeney said his routine included hitting daily while also playing in several adult-league settings and “any game I could find.” “It has been longer than I would like to wait, but it’s stuff you can’t control,” he said. Sharp met Sweeney upon arriving along with other minor-league officials and instructors from the parent Kansas City club. “Just looking at him, you like what you see,” Sharp said. Now it’s up to Sweeney to show what he can do. “There’s an adjustment to playing,” he said. “I’ll have to adjust to the speed of the game. I’ve done it before so I’m looking for- ward to it.” After signing, Sweeney accompanied the Royals on a three-game trip to Elizabethton, Tenn., but he wasn’t eligible to play until all aspects of his physical were complete — a timetable complicated by the Independence Day holiday. Then cleared, he had to deal with darkened skies. With rain and a waterlogged outfield, the Burlington club had games called off on four consecutive days. Unprecedented arrange- ments were made to move home games, with the Royals playing Sunday at Wake Forest Baseball Park (where there’s an all-artificial turf playing surface) an hour’s drive away in Winston-Salem and then Monday com- peting in a doubleheader at USA Baseball National Training Complex an hour away in the other direc- tion in Cary. Sweeney pinch hit in the bottom of the ninth inning Sunday, grounding out on a slow chopper to the third baseman. “For a first at-bat, it was kind of what I expected,” he said. “I felt good. I saw the ball well. It will take a little bit to get my timing where it needs to be.” There were only sev- eral dozen onlookers the past three games because of rescheduled games were away from the fan base. Among those on hand were a couple of Sweeney’s college team- mates who arrived a few of days earlier hoping to watch Sweeney. The out- fielder said the support was encouraging. And they all ended up at a major-college venue and then at the USA Baseball facility. “I was pretty pleased to get to play at Wake,” Sweeney said. “Now I can say I played in a D-1 ball- park, which I never did.” After a league-wide off day Tuesday, Burlington heads for three days (five games plus a completion of a suspended game) against the Bluefield Blue Jays on Wednesday through Friday in West Virginia. They return for what’s supposed to be the start of a six-game homes- tand on the weekend. Maybe then, Sweeney will play in Burlington, too. King’s standout chooses Royals path DAVE ROSENGRANT
[email protected] He’s got Hall of Fame credentials with 647 career home runs in 19 Major League seasons. He’s earned more than $200 million in that time. It would have been real easy for Alex Rodriguez to not pay attention to the youngsters during his cur- rent 20-day rehab assign- ment. Instead, the Yankees slugging third baseman has taken to the atmosphere and the minor leaguers. “I’m truly humble to have all this time with these young kids,” said Rodriguez, who will end his stay in the minors today and is expected to be activated by New York on Monday —barring a setback. His journey back from left hipsurgeryinJanuarystarted at the beginning of the month in Low-ACharleston and he’s hit every level in the organiza- tion, going to High-A Tampa then Double-A Trenton last week before finishing up in Moosic with the RailRiders. Along the way, he has met nearly all of the organiza- tion’s prospects, taken time to answer questions by hold- ing a question-and-answer session at each level, among other clubhouse activities. “These minor league kids, they ask more questions than the NewYorkmedia,” he said. “The whole farmsystemwith New York, we’re in tremen- dous hands. At every level, there’s guys that I can think of that are going to be factors in New York. I’m excited for the fan base in New York.” He not only got plenty of adoration from the players in each clubhouse, he received a smattering of cheers and jeers from the fans in each ballpark he stopped at —and also some surprising love on the field. “In A-ball I asked the umpire ‘3-2?’ and he goes ‘yes, sir,’” Rodriguez said. “I’ve never been called sir by an umpire, so that was inter- esting.” It’s been a while since Rodriguez spent this amount of time in the minors. By the time this stint concludes, the three-time American League Most Valuable Player will have played in more than a dozen games. Rodriguez hadn’t played that many games in the minors since 1995, when he saw action in 54 games for Triple-A Tacoma as an 19-year-old in Seattle’s organization. He’s also spent time signing many autographs for fans at each stop, holding up the start of Friday’s game at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre until he got off the field. And even signing for fans in Reading when he was part of the visiting Trenton team at the Phillies’ Double-A affiliate. As A-Rod ends his rehab assignment, he witnessed outfielders Melky Mesa and Thomas Neal get called into the manager’s office Friday night to get news that they were heading up the Major Leagues with New York. It was something the super- star hadn’t been a part of in quite some time. “You take a day like (Friday), when you see two young kids get the call. You see the smiles on their faces, it’s a pretty special time for me,” said Rodriguez, who will turn 38 on July 27. “These 20 days, I feel so fortunate to be a part of it. I make it a point every time I leave one of the teams to go in the manager’s office and thank him for being on their team and putting me in their lineup — and to bring this little mini circus to their city.” A-Rod enjoyed re-living minor league experience Pete G.

With the Padres trailing 1-0 with two out in the eighth, Gomez elected to go for the win instead of letting Kirby fnish the game. The Padres lost the no-hitter and the game, 3-0. 1973 — Hank Aaron of Atlanta hit his 700th home run in the third inning of an 8-4 Braves loss to Philadelphia. Aaron connected on a 1-1 fastball off Phillies pitcher Ken Brett. 1975 — Joe Torre of the New York Mets grounded into four double plays in a 6-2 loss to the Hous- ton Astros. Felix Millan had four singles but was wiped out each time by Torre. 2001 — In their highest-scoring game in 58 years, the Los Angeles Dodgers routed Colorado 22-7. The 22 runs were the most scored by the Dodgers since Brooklyn beat Pittsburgh 23-6 on July 10, 1943, at Ebbets Field. 2006 — Alex Rodriguez became the youngest player to reach 450 home runs when he homered in the New York Yankees’ 7-3 loss to Toronto. Ro- driguez also recorded his 2000th career hit. 2008 — Detroit’s 19-4 victory at Kansas City marked the third time this season the Tigers scored 19 runs. The Boston Red Sox were the last team to accomplish that feat, scoring 19 or more four times in 1950. Detroit beat Texas 19-6 on April 23 and Minnesota 19-3 on May 24. 2012 — Jason Kubel became the seventh player in Diamondbacks’ history to homer three times in a game, driving in six runs as Arizona dominated Houston 12-3. Pudge goes into Rangers’ Hall of Fame STEPHEN HAWKINS AP Sports Writer ARLINGTON, Texas — Ivan Rodriguez is finally accepting retirement almost two years after playing his final game. Now the 14-time All-Star catch- er has what certainly won’t be his last Hall of Fame honor. Rodriguez was inducted Saturday night into the Hall of Fame for the Texas Rangers, the team for which the catch- er affectionately known as “Pudge” played for the first 12 of his 21 major league seasons. He made his debut at age 19 in June 1991, and also returned to the Rangers for the end of the 2009 season. “I still watch baseball all the time at home. I still watch the Rangers of course,” Rodriguez said. “It’s getting to a point right now that I’m OK with (retirement). I know that I’ve played enough, and the play- ers we have in baseball right now are great players. They replaced us in our positions, and I like what I see.” Rodriguez, the 1999 American League MVP, is the 16th member of the Rangers hall. He joined a group that includes Hall of Fame pitcher and Rangers CEO Nolan Ryan and six-time Gold Glove- winning catcher Jim Sundberg. “He played with intensity, he played with passion,” said Ryan, who was 44 years old when he pitched the second major league game ever caught by Rodriguez. “The thing that made us all really appreci- ate him was the enjoyment he got out of the game. He truly enjoyed the game, and he enjoyed winning even more.” The pregame ceremony, which like the game against Baltimore was delayed nearly a half-hour by rain that gave way to sunshine, included the Rangers honoring the mem- ory of former team owner Brad Corbett, who died last December. Members of Corbett’s fam- ily and Dr. Bobby Brown, the former American League and Rangers president, were in attendance. Rodriguez caught a major league record 2,427 games, sur- passing Carlton Fisk’s record of 2,226 during a game for the Houston Astros four years ago at Rangers Ballpark before briefly rejoining the Rangers at the end of that season. The 13 Gold Gloves Rodriguez won were the most ever for a catcher. In 1,507 career games with the Rangers, Rodriguez hit .304 with 217 home runs with 842 RBIs. He is second in club history in hits (1,747), dou- bles (352) and multihit games (490). Rodriguez played for five other teams in his major league career, which he finished with Washington in 2010 and 2011. He also played for Florida, Detroit, the New York Yankees and Houston. “Texas is different because Texas gave me the opportu- nity to become a professional baseball player when I was 16 years old,” he said. “They gave me the opportunity when I was 19 years old to play in the big leagues and play into 2002. Of course you have to feel some- thing special for that team and that’s why the Rangers is a very special place to me.” Pudge was part of the Rangers when they won their first three AL West titles in a four-year span in the late 1990s. AP PHOTO The NewYork Mets’ David Wright hits an RBI single during the fifth inning of a game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday in New York. Wheeler, bullpen help Mets get past Phillies The Associated Press NEW YORK — The rookie pitcher who got the biggest outs for the Mets on Saturday was not the one with all the hype. Gonzalez Germen came in from the bullpen to bail out Zack Wheeler and help New York hold on for a 5-4 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. Marlon Byrd, David Wright and Daniel Murphy each had an RBI single for the Mets, who handed Cole Hamels his latest defeat and snapped Philadelphia’s seven-game winning streak at Citi Field. Another rookie, Juan Lagares, had a run-scoring single among his three hits. Germen (1-1) escaped a bas- es-loaded jam and struck out three in 1 2-3 hitless innings for his first major league win. “He did an amazing job,” Byrd said. “That could be a scary lineup to face when you’re a young kid.” Jimmy Rollins hit a leadoff homer, and Chase Utley had a two-run shot in the ninth for the Phillies. They put the potential tying run on second before Bobby Parnell retired Darin Ruf on a game-ending liner to second. The series finale Sunday features a marquee matchup of All-Star pitchers: Mets ace Matt Harvey against lefty Cliff Lee. Wheeler wiggled out of early trouble in his sixth major league start, but the prized right-hander needed 106 pitch- es to get through 4 2-3 innings in 93-degree heat. “I just told him to hang in there. I just said, ‘Look, you can only do it as best you can for as long as you can,’” Mets manager Terry Collins said. “You could just tell he was out of gas. Yeah, I could have let him go one more hitter, but we’re trying to win games, too.” Hamels (4-12) allowed three runs in a 35-pitch first inning and was pulled for a pinch-hit- ter after five. The three-time All-Star and 2008 World Series MVP leads the NL in losses. Hamels has always had trouble with the Mets. The left-hander, who was 2-0 with a 1.57 ERA in three previous July starts, dropped to 6-12 in 24 outings against them. Coming off a gem in San Francisco but pitching for the first time in 10 days, Wheeler gave up a two-strike single to Hamels to start the fifth. The Phillies loaded the bases with nobody out, but all they man- aged was Utley’s sacrifice fly. All-Star slugger Domonic Brown flied out on a 3-0 pitch. Wheeler walked Ruf to load the bases again — and was lifted one out short of qualify- ing for a win. Wheeler kept his back to Collins as the manager marched to the mound, then handed over the ball and disappeared down the dug- out runway. Collins followed moments later, and Wheeler was back on the bench to greet Germen with a high-five after he struck out streaking Delmon Young to preserve a 3-2 lead. “Right now, the kid’s doing his job,” Young said. “He’s been pitching in big situa- tions.” Collins said he didn’t want Wheeler to be trailing when he came out. In his only other outing at home, the 23-year- old was beaten by Washington 13-2. Rays 4, Blue Jays 3 TORONTO — Jeremy Hellickson won his fifth straight decision, Desmond Jennings reached base four times and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Toronto Blue Jays for their 16th win in 18 games. Rookie Wil Myers had two RBIs in his first career start as the cleanup hitter. Myers, who finished 2 for 4, has nine hits in his past 17 at bats. Jennings went 3 for 4 with a walk and scored twice. Since starting the season 14-18, the Rays are a major league-best 43-23 since May 8. Toronto’s Jose Bautista hom- ered for the second straight game but the last-place Blue Jays lost for the fifth time in six games. White Sox 10, Braves 6 CHICAGO — Alex Rios hit a grand slam and drove in five runs, and Jake Peavy pitched six solid innings in his return from the disabled list to lead the Chicago White Sox to a 10-6 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Saturday. Rios, who had been in a 2-for-20 slump, went 3-for-5 to help Chicago win for just the 10th time in 32 games. Peavy (7-4), making his first start since June 4 because of a fractured rib, got off to a shaky start. He allowed a two- run homer to Dan Uggla in the second inning and two more runs in the third. But he shut down the Braves during his final three innings. He allowed seven hits in six innings, and just two of the four runs charged to him were earned. Braves starter Paul Maholm (9-9) was forced out in the fourth inning because of a sprained left wrist. Reds 5, Pirates 4 CINCINNATI — Joey Votto drove in a pair of runs, and Shin-Soo Choo extended his hitting streak to a career- high 14 games, leading the Cincinnati Reds to a victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. The third-place Reds have won the first two games in the NL Central series, closing their gap with second-place Pittsburgh to two games. The Ohio River rivals have split their 12 games this season. Cincinnati’s Mat Latos (9-3) and Pittsburgh’s A.J. Burnett (4-7) had a tough time finding their control after a 1-hour, 17-minute delay in the middle of the first inning. Aroldis Chapman escaped a two-on threat in the ninth for his 23rd save in 26 chances. PAGE 6C Sunday, July 21, 2013 TRACK AND FIELD www.timesleader.com TIMES LEADER JAY MONAHAN For The Times Leader Like any track and field athlete, Pittston Area hurdler Ronnie D’Eliseo immediately began looking ahead to district records and to which Pennsylvania hurdlers would be stand- ing in his way following last year’s trip to Shippensburg. Soon enough, D’Eliseo’s senior year goals were conquered one by one. School records. District records. State medals. “All the hard work paid off,” D’Eliseo said. “I had so much success individually and on the relay. You can bring the suc- cess of the PA program for years to come and bring it back to that. And I’m proud of that.” The Times Leader named D’Eliseo its Boys Track and Field Most Valuable Athlete for his success in the hurdles against both local and state competition. His all-around success was showcased at the District 2 Class 3A championships, where he walked away with four gold med- als. He was the only senior on two relay teams to finish first. Running the 400 and 1,600 relays might have gassed D’Eliseo. But he still had plenty in the tank for a district gold in the 110 hurdles and a district record in the 300 hurdles. The Pittston Area senior broke Coughlin graduate Steve Kerestes’ 10-year-old record in the event with a 38.1-second finish. “I was aiming at it since I started it this year,” D’Eliseo said. “That’s what I was training for all year. It was getting a little iffy because I did the 4x1 right before. “I wasn’t panting. But I wish I was 100 percent. If I hadn’t run it, I think I could have a better time. I think I might have been able to break 38.” Teammates Austin Naples, Josh John and Mike Harth passed him the baton with the lead in the 1,600 relay, allowing him to clock in at 3:25.04. D’Eliseo legged out the 400 relay on the final stretch as he, Naples, Harth and Angelo Aita defeated Hazleton Area by 13-hundreths of a second for district gold. Part of the Patriots’ success on the track this season came from the leadership of D’Eliseo. “With them, I felt like I was their big brother,” D’Eliseo said. “They all have talent. You have to get them to practice all the time and work it. They all got into it, and it paid off.” D’Eliseo still had two more goals to take down. After last year’s state run, he glossed over the program and knew he “was in the ballpark for getting a state medal.” The 110 and 300 hurdles were a contrast of races. The wind was at the runners’ backs for the 110, and the wind was “smacking me right in the face” for the 300. D’Eliseo finished fourth in both races to earn state medals. In the 110 hurdles, D’Eliseo enjoyed a fast start off the gun. He clocked in at a time of 14.31 seconds – two-hundreths of a second short of a bronze. “These guys I was running against are a little taller,” D’Eliseo added. “Their strides are longer. They kind of have an edge on me.” The 300 hurdles paired D’Eliseo next to Garnet Valley’s Wellington Zaza, who “beat everyone by a mile” and held an insurmountable lead on him before the first hurdle. On the final turn, the runners in the inside lanes had an edge on him as finished with an 38.83-second finish. D’Eliseo will attend East Stroudsburg University in the fall and intends on majoring in athletic training. As a Warrior, his sights will be cast on a familiar name. East Stroudsburg’s 400 hurdles outdoor record is held by Pittston Area 1981 gradu- ate Jack Goldowski. D’Eliseo shelved both of his high school records in a two-week span this spring. Records fall in his wake D’Eliseo enjoys massive medal haul Second-team all-stars Angelo Aita, Pittston Area Jermichael Bunch, Wyoming Valley West Jacob Fetterman, Hazleton Area Connor Flaherty, Coughlin Mitch Ford, Holy Redeemer Drew Harding, Dallas Michael Harth, Pittston Area Josh John, Pittston Area Anthony Maurent, GAR Todd McFadden, Hanover Area Andrew Myers, Hazleton Area Austin Naples, Pittston Area Josh Ortiz, Wyoming Valley West Frazee Sutphen, Holy Redeemer Colin Tracy, Pittston Area Second TeamAll-Stars Deivon Barlow Hazleton Area Senior - Mid-Distance Barlowraced to second place in the 400 dash with a qualifying time of 49.88 seconds at districts.

Lucas Benton GAR Senior - Mid-Distance Benton won gold at districts in the 400 dash, crossing the fnish in 50.8 seconds. He shed his seed time to place fourth in the 100 dash. The Grenadier senior was a scratch at states and allowed Lakeland’s Casey Albino to compete in his place. Tyler Burger Northwest Sophomore - Hurdles/Jumps The Northwest sophomore enjoyed the most outstanding performance of any WVC Class 2Aboy, walking away fromdistricts with three gold medals. He claimed frst in the 110 hurdles (15.42), 300 hurdles (40.64), and the long jump (21-3.75). Burger fell short of a fourth title on a tiebreaker in the high jump. He tabbed a state medal in the 110 hurdles with an eighth-place fnish. Josh Colley Tunkhannock Senior - Jumps Colley performed a district gold-winning leap of 44 feet, 6 inches in the triple jump. The Tunkhannock senior overcame a second- place showing in the long jump. He came in 27th place in the long jump at states. Colley’s success added to Tunkhannock’s district championship. Dominic Deluca Dallas Junior - Distance Aheavy favorite at districts, Deluca put a district gold medal around his neck after fnishing the 3,200 run in 9:23. His 9:33.71 put himin 14th place at the Class 3Astate championships. Deluca also ran with the Mountaineers’ 3,200 relay teamthat placed third in the district. Trent Grove Wyoming Area Senior - Throws In just a matter of three weeks, Grove went frombeing the Warriors’ catcher on the baseball teamto state track medalist. Shortly after picking up the sport, Grove fnished ffth at districts but one of six District 2 athletes with qualifying throws.

Gavin Harter Berwick Senior - Throws Harter claimed his frst district championship with a 52 feet, 7 inch throwin the shot put.

Dominic Hockenbury Lake-Lehman Freshman - Distance The lone freshman to make the all-star team, Hockenbury was one of four District 2 Class 2A runners with qualifying times in the 3,200 run. He took fourth at districts with a 9:44.15 time. Hockenbury’s 11th place (9:44.65) at states stood two places behind teammate Kieran Sutton. Anthony Khalife Coughlin Junior - Throws With two second-place showings at districts, Khalife paved his road to states with a qualifying discus throwof 154 feet, 1 inch. He came 11 inches shy of a qualifying toss in the shot put. Khalife stamped 14th place at the PIAAClass 3Achampionships with a 133-feet, 7-inch discus throw. Alex Nole Tunkhannock Senior - Mid-Distance Nole was one of two Tigers to receive state medals in Shippensburg. He fnished sixth in the 800 run at a time of 1:59.08. Tunkhannock’s district championship came in part to Nole’s performance in the 800 run. Nole captured frst with a 1:55.69. Nick O’Brien Wyoming Area Senior - Sprints/Throws The Wyoming Area all-around athlete medaled in several events at districts but submitted his only state qualifying mark in the javelin.

Stefan Schlachter Tunkhannock Senior - Sprints With fve district runners fnishing within a tenth of a second in the 100 dash preliminaries, Schlachter clocked in at 11.01 seconds to win gold. His 22.17-second win in the 200 dash helped Tunkhannock win a district championship. Schlachter medaled at states in the 200 dash, notching seventh place in 23.03 seconds. He also took 15th (11.16) in the 100 at states. Kieran Sutton Lake-Lehman Senior - Distance Sutton’s third-place showing in the highly competitive 3,200 run at districts gave him a qualifying time of 9:41.32 to send himto Shippensburg.

We played a lot of our kids, and you just want to see them getting in football shape.” With every offseason, fresh challenges arise as does the task to find new team chemistry after losing senior leaders the year before. For Berwick, quar- terback C.J. Curry returned to his role under center minus a few of his favorite targets on the outside. Northwest also brought back its starting sig- nal-caller from last season in senior Logan Womelsdorf. The Rangers showed poten- tial by keeping close scores throughout their matchups, but could not bring it all together falling to larger schools such as Danville and Southern Columbia. “When you come into these 7-on-7s, you just want to see how your kids are going to com- pete against other teams, and when they get tired, if they’re going to suck it up or dog it on you,” Northwest head coach Carl Majer said. “Unfortunately for us, we’re a Single-A school and we only have X amount of players. We have to go back- to-back with the same nine, 10 guys and that’s what you want to see. How they compete and how they’re going to react when they get tired.” After losing to Delaware Valley the previous year in the championship of the tourna- ment, the Dawgs came out fired up and executed on both sides of the ball. Avenging the loss handed to them a season ago, Berwick defeated a young Delaware Valley squad that looks different without former star quarterback Bryan Schor. Berwick finished victorious, winning all six of its games, including a 28-14 victory over Manheim Central in the final. “We’ve really been working so hard in the weight room, that’s going to help us a lot. We came together as a team and said if we want to win this year and get that district champion- ship back where it was lost last year, we got to do this, we have to work,” said Berwick quar- terback C.J. Curry about the upcoming football season. On the broader stage, far away from the gridirons of Northeastern Pennsylvania, there has been a collection of detestable actions committed by professional and collegiate football players that has made national headlines this offsea- son. The demise of Aaron Hernandez after being charged with first degree murder and the issues surrounding Heisman winner Johnny Manziel to name a few. Since the Super Bowl in February, there have been 31 arrests of NFL players. “As a coach, you’re with these kids year-round and you have to instill in them to make the right decisions, to get educated and to be a student-athlete,” Majer said about how the behavior of professional players affects younger athletes. “When you get up to that level where those guys are — with the fame and the money — sometimes they forget that. So that’s why I try to keep them down to earth, make sure they stay positive and make the right decisions.” “I hope they learn from it,” Curry said. “When I hear a young kid tell me they [NFL players] are crazy and how could you do that, then they’re getting a good message from that. “In football they have the Hall of Fame. Well, they should have a Hall of Shame. That’s the one you don’t want to be in, you don’t want to be in the Hall of Shame.” Ofseason drills provide glimpse of future Don Carey | For The Times Leader Football officials sit and wait for their game to start during 7-on-7s at Crispin Field last weekend.

SHELLYANDERSON Pittsburgh Post-Gazette It has been brewing for several years, and now a shift in the Penguins’ organi- zational makeup on defense is tangible — and, by all accounts, welcome. It doesn’t mean that Norris Trophy finalist Kris Letang or veteran Paul Martin need to squirm. The new wave of young defen- semen who seemingly are upwardly mobile is not likely to have a huge effect on the team’s NHL roster immedi- ately — but there could be some impact this season. Six defensemen taking part in the development camp last week at Consol Energy Center, ranging in age from18 to 21, are among the Penguins’ top prospects. At least one or two have a shot at making their NHL debut in 2013-14. A few could be expected to play regularly at Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton of the American Hockey League. One or two could wind up back in junior hockey, but still solidly on the club’s radar. “I think everyone is cer- tainly progressing in the way the Penguins want everyone to play,” said Philip Samuelsson, the most experienced of the group with two seasons in the AHL on his resume. “Everyone is having good junior seasons or good American League seasons. The [defensive] core is look- ing pretty promising for the future.” Samuelsson was a second- round draft pick in 2009. Three other Penguins draft picks are among the six: Scott Harrington (sec- ond round, 2011), Derrick Pouliot (first round, 2012) and Olli Maatta (first round, 2012). The Penguins also have high hopes for Brian Dumoulin, 21, who was acquired a year ago in a trade that sent Jordan Staal to Carolina and played for Wilkes-Barre last season; and Harrison Ruopp, 20, obtained a summer ago in a trade that sent defenseman Zbynek Michalek back to Phoenix. Those six can expect to be back for the Penguins’ main training camp in September. “Hopefully, I’ll push for a spot here in Pittsburgh. I want to do everything I can to be ready for that,” said Pouliot, who expects tough competition. “Those guys are compet- ing for jobs, too. You’ve got to look at it in a positive way. It will push me to be better, too.” While the NHL roster seems cluttered, salary-cap considerations could lead to a trade before the start of the regular season. It’s different in Wilkes-Barre, where spots are open after the departure of defense- men Joe Morrow, Dylan Reese, Alex Grant and Joey Mormina. Harrington, a stay-at- home defenseman with good puck-moving skill, served as captain with London of the Ontario Hockey League. A teammate and some- time partner was Maatta, a strong skater and ver- satile defenseman. They helped the Knights win the OHL title and advance to the Memorial Cup tourna- ment. Pouliot, an offensive defenseman, helped the Portland Winterhawks win the Western Hockey League championship and also advance to the Memorial Cup series. After their playoffs, those three joined Wilkes-Barre in the AHLEasternConference final. Maatta played three games, Harrington two and Pouliot one. “We wound up put- ting them in some pretty important games,” said Wilkes-Barre coach John Hynes, running the on- ice portion of the camp. “They did a nice job.” Penguins young defensivecan’t rest www.timesleader.com TIMES LEADER SPORTS Sunday, July 21, 2013 PAGE 7C NATHAN GURTIS For The Times Leader PAGE 8C Sunday, July 21, 2013 SPORTS www.timesleader.com TIMES LEADER Eight former local athletes will be inducted into the Luzerne County Sports Hall of Fame John Louis Popple Chapter during next month’s ceremonies.

[email protected] Burke McGinley Cassetori Noone Ksanznak Pizano Sharp Zubris DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer GULLANE, Scotland — Martin Laird was at home in Scotland, closing in on the lead at the British Open when it all went wrong. His mess at Muirfield began with a 2-iron that strayed into nasty, yellow rough right of the fairway. After a couple of hacks — and a couple of penalty shots — he staggered off with a quintuple-bogey 9. And that wasn’t even the worst of his forgetta- ble Saturday. Walking up the 16th fairway, he was informed an additional shot was being added to his score for failing to alert all the right people when he moved his ball in the rough on the 10th hole to identify it. “To say that deflated me, I think would be an understatement,” Laird said. He ended his long day with an 81 — 12 shots out of the lead. “Every time I hit a shot that could go one way, it went the other,” Laird said. Even after chopping his way to a 9 on the third hole, Laird was only 3 over for the tournament. He bounced back with a beautiful 5-iron into the toughest hole, and then made birdie. What gnawed at him was the 10th hole. In deep rough, Laird marked his ball with a tee and told the marshal who found it that he was going to make sure it was his. One problem. The rules require him to tell playing partner Dustin Johnson or one of the walking offi- cials. “If I had said, ‘Dustin, just went down to find my ball.’ Or, ‘Rules Official, I’m going to identify my ball.’ Even if I said it loud enough for one of them to hear, it would have been fine,” Laird said. “It’s the fact that none of them heard it, even though I said it. So it’s one of those lovely rules of golf.” Instead, he violated Rule 12-2 that says, “Before lifting the ball, the player must announce his intention to his … fellow competitor.” David Rickman, the rules director for the Royal & Ancient, said letting the spotter know wasn’t enough. “The rule is very spe- cific,” Rickman said. “It needs to be the fellowcom- petitor. The fellow com- petitor is there to protect the interests of the rest of the field, and therefore, we are specific about who that needs to be. Because you need to give that fel- low competitor, or as I say this week, the referee, the opportunity to come over and observe the player’s actions. That’s the protec- tion that the rule gives.” Worse yet was finding out so deep in a round that had already gone so wrong. “Walking up 16 when I was told I got a one-shot penalty on No. 10, I don’t even think rubbing salt in the wounds would do enough to describe it,” Laird said. M E C H A N I C SPUTTERS: Miguel Angel Jimenez likes to relax with a good cigar and a glass of red wine. He might need something a little stronger after Saturday. “The Mechanic” played solidly over the first two rounds and went into Saturday with a one- stroke lead. But he plum- meted from contention with a 6-over 77. This one started bad — four bogeys in the first eight holes — and didn’t improve much. Still within striking distance of the leaders, Jimenez played the final five holes at 4-over par. He took double-bogey at the 16th, needing two swings to escape a pot bunker. At the 17th, he lipped out a 3-footer to save par. He still has an outside shot, going to the final round six strokes behind leader Lee Westwood. But the fun-loving Spaniard knows his chances are slim, especially with nine players between him and the lead, including Tiger Woods, Adam Scott, Angel Cabrera, Zach Johnson and Phil Mickelson — major winners all. Jimenez hoped to become the oldest major winner in golf history at age 49. Instead, he’ll likely have to settle for a good smoke and a sip of vino from something besides the claret jug. WHERE’S THE CROWDS?: Despite flaw- less weather, the crowds at Muirfield are noticeably smaller than the last time the British Open came here in 2002. The R&A reported attendance figures for the first three days of the tournament, as well as the practice. The turnout was slightly higher for prac- tice — a total of 31,320 turned out, but the higher- priced tournament tickets haven’t been as much as 11 years ago. The opening-round crowd Thursday was 23,393, a significant drop from 30,620 in ‘02. The trend was much the same the last two days. At Muirfield’s previous Open, the crowds were 34,479 for the second round, 33,212 for the third. Also noticeable: the number of empty seats at the 18th hole when Lee Westwood and Tiger Woods arrived. Even the BBC commentators noted that plenty of fans headed home early, despite two of the most popular play- ers still contending for the lead. No one can blame the weather for the smaller turnouts. It has been sunny all week, with tem- peratures in the 70s. SCHOOL’S STILL IN SESSION: Jordan Spieth created a stir last weekend by becoming the youngest PGA Tour winner in 82 years. But he’s smart enough to know there’s plenty left to learn. The 19-year-old hobbled to a 5-over 76 Saturday, hurt by bad bounces and worse decisions. “I wasn’t patient and that was the issue,” he said. “Bad bounces are going to happen out here, but I could have shot three shots lower, without even playing any different.” Despite being 6 over for the tournament, Spieth enjoyed himself, in part because he played along- side Northern Irishman and major winner Darren Clarke. “He’s obviously loved and I can see why. Extremely nice guy, he’s very selfless, he’s root- ing for me. It was cool,” Spieth said. Despite a full schedule since March and the pres- sures of being in conten- tion the previous three weekends, Spieth said he didn’t think fatigue was a factor in his performance here. That said, he wasn’t unhappy about taking time off after the Open. “Yeah,” Spieth acknowl- edged, “I’m looking for- ward to it.” M I C K E L S O N ’ S GRIND: Phil Mickelson criticized the course setup at Muirfield after his first round in the British Open, then apologized for it after his second. After finishing play Saturday, he was sticking with the party line. “I thought today was excellent,” Mickelson said. “It was set up very well. We saw a few scores under par. We saw quite a few over par. If you man- age your game well, I thought you could make pars, and an occasional birdie here and there.” Mickelson shot a 72 in the third round, leav- ing him five shots behind leader Lee Westwood. Lairdfrombadtoworse at BritishOpen AP photo Martin Laird plays a shot off the third tee during the third round of the British Open at Muirfield, Scotland, on Saturday. It looked like the Yankees had squandered a good chance when they had a runner cut down at the plate on Luis Cruz’s grounder to short. But Cruz, who reached on the fielder’s choice on the play, advanced on a wild pitch before Gardner’s soft liner up the middle just got past the glove of diving second baseman Dustin Pedroia. Eduardo Nunez had a leadoff single, stole second, and was sacri- ficed, but was thrown out by Stephen Drew. Cruz’s RBI single made it 2-0 in the seventh before Cano and Overbay added their hits. Boston also had a runner nailed at the plate when Carp was tagged out by Kuroda in the fifth, ending the inning after his pitch ticked off the glove of catcher Stewart and about 20 feet behind the plate. essential for those who want to win cycling’s pre- mier race. He also handled with poise and aplomb questions about doping in cycling and suspicions about the strength of his own performances. He insisted he raced clean. This Tour was the first since Lance Armstrong was stripped last year of his seven wins for serial doping. Froome said the scrutiny he faced has “definitely been a challenge” but was “100 per- cent understandable.” Whoever won this 100th Tour “was going to come under the same amount of scrutiny, the same amount of criticism,” he said. “I’m also one of those guys who have been let down by the sport.” Froome first took the race lead and the yellow jersey that goes with it on Stage 8, when he won the climb to the Ax-3 Domaines ski station in the Pyrenees. During today’s Stage 21, he will wear the yellow jersey for the 13th straight day. Froome said the low point of his Tour was when he ran short of ener- gy on the second ascent of L’Alpe d’Huez this week. “A horrible feeling,” he said. The highlight, he said, was when he powered away from his rivals on Mont Ventoux in Provence and became the first yel- low-jersey wearer to win a stage on that mammoth climb since the legend- ary five-time Tour winner Eddy Merckx in 1970. “That was an incredible moment, incredible.” Saturday’s stage did a big loop south of Annecy, through the mountains of Savoie between the lakes of Annecy and Bourget. This is cheese-making country, with lush Alpine pastures and dense, natu- rally cool forests. Quintana’s win also secured him the spotted jer- sey awarded to riders who harvest the most points on mountain climbs. He also retained the white jersey as the Tour’s best young rider. The 23-year-old wiped away tears in his stage win- ner’s news conference. “It was fabulous,” he said after winning on his national independence day. “It’s a very special day in Colombia. A big party and the whole of Colombia is celebrating.” After three days on brittle, brown Muirfield, only three players remained under par. Westwood was at 3-under 210, two shots clear of Woods (72) and Hunter Mahan, whose 68 matched the best score of the third round. Mahan, also going after that maiden major with far fewer credentials than Westwood, will be playing in the final group at his second straight major. Woods lost his chance to get in the final group with one swing. Tied with Westwood as they played the par-5 17th into a stiff breeze off the Firth of Forth, Woods tried to hit 3-wood over a series of bunkers to allow for a simple wedge into the green. With his ball on the slightest slope, he got it up in the air just enough that the wind grabbed it and deposited the ball in the bunker. Woods had to blast out sideways and missed a 15-foot par putt. Woods twice had at least a share of the 36-hole lead in majors a year ago and fell out of contention on Saturday. Despite the late bogey, he did well enough this time that he was only two shots behind. This is his best chance to end his five- year drought in the majors since the upheaval in his personal life at the end of 2009. And while he has never won a major when trailing going into the last day, the outlook didn’t look bleak from his vantage point. “I’ve got 14 of these things, and I know what it takes to win it,” Woods said. “He’s won tournaments all over the world. He knows how to win golf tournaments. He’s two shots ahead and we’re going to go out there and both compete and play. It’s not just us two. There’s a bunch of guys who have a chance to win this tourna- ment. And all of us need to really play well tomorrow to win it.” Instead of playing with Westwood in the final group, Woods will be in the penultimate group with Masters champion Adam Scott, who had a 70. The Australian not only is poised to be the first player with a multiple- major season in seven years, he can atone for his meltdown a year ago at Royal Lytham & St. Annes. Mahan made only two bogeys, and he avoided a third on the final hole when he made a 25-foot putt to save par from the bunker. He played with Mickelson in the final round at Merion and stayed in the game until late in the round, closing with a 75. One month later, he gets another crack at it.

Swoyersville advanced seven run- ners to third base and three more to second during that time. “You can see happens when you don’t execute with guys on third base and less than two outs,” Toole said. “We definitely kept them in the game a little bit.” After playing seven-inning games all season, Legion switches to nine innings for the regional tournaments on the Senior level. The ninth inning proved to be the toughest for Zielen and his defense. Milton scored its only run and advanced the tying runner to third before Zielen closed out his four-hitter. With Swoyersville playing for the first time in two weeks after clinching the regional berth with its regular-sea- son league title, Zielen started strong. He retired the first nine, including five strikeouts. “All three of my pitches were working today,” said Zielen, who mixed his fastball, curveball and changeup to strike out six and walk one. “From that layoff, that’s kind of surprising. “I felt like all three were on today.” Zielen led Swoyersville into today’s winners’ bracket semifinal. It will return to Spartan Stadium to face Mansfield/Wellsboro, an 8-1 winner over West Scranton. Joe Pechulis produced much of the offense. He was 4-for-4 with a double and drove in the first run. Mike Leonard was hit by a pitch to start the game. He stole second and scored on the first Pechulis hit. Pechulis blasted his double to center field and got the ball through the left side three times for singles. “They might not have been the most powerful, but I’ll take them,” Pechulis said. After Pechulis was thrown out at the plate in the fourth inning, Swoyersville scored what proved to be the winning run. With runners at first and third with two outs, Jeremy Worlinsky intention- ally got hung up between first and sec- ond on a stolen base attempt. Evan McCue broke for home. Milton second baseman Michael Jacobs chased and tagged Worlinsky as McCue arrived home. The home plate umpire ruled that McCue made it to the plate before the out was recorded. “It was a banger at the plate,” Milton manager David Byers said. “In my eyes, he didn’t make it. In their eyes, he did.” Daniel Bridge ledthe Miltonoffense. He had two of the four hits, including a double for the only extra-base hit, and scored the only run. ination game at the same site. “It’s incredibly huge right now,” Gavenonis said of the opening- round victory. “We want to play the least amount of games as we can.” The 15-year-old, who will enter his junior year at Wyoming Area High School in the fall, caught fire just in time, too. Three weeks ago, just before the start of the postseason, Greater Pittston lost its top power hitter in Bart Chupka - who suffered a broken foot in a late-season game against Swoyersville. So Gavenonis stepped up. Hitting out of the cleanup hole, Gavenonis drilled a long, two-out single to left field in the bottom of the first inning to tie the game at 1-1. “He stepped into a leadership role with the hitting,”Ranieli said. “For the youngest guy on the team, he’s taken the bull by the horns.” Gavenonis was leading Greater Pittston charge again in sixth inning. With the score tied 3-3, Gavenonis led off the frame with his third straight single of the day, moved to second base on Dylan Maloney’s sacrifice bunt and scored on Trent Grove’s sharp single to left field. “After we lost our power hitter Bart, now I’m one of the big power hitters here,” Gavenonis said. “I’ve got to pick it up. “They rely on me.” Early on, Greater Pittston wasn’t certain it could rely on its ace pitcher Maloney. On a brutal 90-degree day, the hard-throwing righthander felt woozy after running out his inning- ending grounder in the bottom of the third inning. He had already surrendered Berwick’s first run when Anthony Melito led off the game with a single and scored on T.J. Lashock’s single in the first inning. Then Maloney was touched for two more runs when Dan Curtin scored on a dropped fly ball in the fourth inning and Lashock scored on Kyle Miller’s game-tying sacrifice fly in the fifth. Greater Pittston appeared fortu- nate Berwick didn’t score more, as Eric May was called out on his bas- es-loaded infield grounder to finish the fourth inning- a ruling that left May hopping mad, Berwick coach- es arguing vehemently and had Berwick fans in disbelief. “It did change the game a little bit,” Berwick coach Joe Papada said of the call. “But you never want the umpires to be in that kind of position. That was in the fourth inning. We had five more innings to go. I don’t think we executed very well and Greater Pittston played a great game.” Especially after Maloney turned into a machine. He grabbed a Gatorade and a icy towel, begged for one more inning on the mound, and took the game into the ninth inning while combin- ing with reliever Jake Granteed on a five-hitter. “I congratulated him afterward,” Papada said of Maloney. “He was a battler.” Maloney retired 12 straight bat- ters from the fifth through eighth innings, finished with seven strike- outs and didn’t allow a hit after Lashock’s leadoff single in the fifth. “He got light-headed,” Ranieli said. “He fought through it. “Then he got in a groove.” Greater Pittston added an insur- ance run in the sixth inning, when Granteed singled, stole second, continued to third base on a throw- ing error and raced home on Trent Grove’s ground out. “I wasn’t nervous today,” Gavenonis said, “because I knew we had Maloney on the mound.” The Times Leader staf Nanticoke’s Junior soft- ball team is getting ready to head west. Nanticoke claimed the Section 5 championship banner Saturday, defeat- ing North Pocono 8-4 in the Junior division Little League softball final. Kiera Brown had two triples during a 3 for 4 day, driving in four runs for Nanticoke. Jenna Lipowski (triple, two RBI) and Elizabeth Moore (two runs) both had two hits in the win. Sarah Rinehamer added an RBI and Vanessa Tocket was the winning pitcher. Chloe Pehanick and Cerria Santini each had three hits for North Pocono. Nanticoke begins state tournament play Wednesday at 6 p.m. against the Section 8 champion at West Point Little League in Greensburg. STATE SENIOR SOFTBALL Plains 11, Bristol 7 Plains moved onto the state semifinals with an 11-7 victory over Bristol to complete pool play. Marissa Ross had a three-run double in the first inning for Plains, and Samantha Conway had two hits and two RBI in the win. Elizabeth Ellsworth and Abby Shorts both had a double and an RBI. Julie Suchocki (four innings pitched) and Madison Pugh (three innings) each gave up two hits during their time in the circle. Samantha Rajza added a run-scoring single for Plains, which will face Bristol again today at 3. Plains reached the semifinals with a 27-6 win over Stroudsburg and a 13-0 victory over Wellsboro sandwiched around a 19-6 loss to St. Mary’s during the tour- ney.

[email protected] MOOSIC — Alex Rodriguez’ 20-day rehab from hip surgery in January is scheduled to end today while playing for the Scranton/Wilkes- Barre RailRiders. Or will it? Once the time is up the Yankees will either have to activate the 37-year-old or place him back on the disabled list after a review by Major League Baseball. The latter might not be too far out of the question. Rodriguez, who was scheduled to play at third base for the RailRiders on Saturday night against Louisville, was a late scratch from the position due to a tight left quad. About an hour before game time, he was moved to designated hitter for the RailRiders instead of manning the hot corner. Rodriguez didn’t look uncomfortable during his first three at-bats Saturday night. He was seen on the field stretch- ing the area on his left leg and in the dugout between at-bats. In his first at-bat, he flied out to right field and jogged down to first base and didn’t show any notice- able limp. During his second time up, he struck out looking and followed that with a strikeout swinging his third plate appearance. Rodriguez ran the bases during Friday night’s game at PNC Field, when he finished 2 for 4 with a pair of singles. On the second one, he hustled to second trying for a double. He slid into the base and was called out. During his postgame press conference he said that his hip felt good after both. For the team he was playing with on Saturday night, the RailRiders were tied at 1 with the Bats entering the top of the eighth at press time. Randy Ruiz hit home run No. 11 in the bot- tom of the second inning to account for the SWB run. David Huff got the start and threw well going six innings allow- ing just six hits and fan- ning a season-high seven for SWB. The finale of the four- game series at PNC Field is this afternoon at 1:05 when RailRiders righty Jose Ramirez (1-2, 4.24) goes against Louisville right- hander Daniel Corcino (4-11, 6.40). Tomorrow, the Toledo Mud Hens come to town for four games. A-Rod a late move fromthird to DH Swoyersville From page 1C Gavenonis From page 1C PAGE 10C Sunday, July 21, 2013 www.timesleader.com TIMES LEADER outdoors I received an email from a reader letting me know that her husband has been seeing a bat fly over their field at dusk. She wrote to me as if the sighting is newsworthy, and it is. That’s because bat numbers have rapidly dropped to the point where they no longer are a common sight in the summertime sky. Today, just seeing a single bat is something to get excited about, and that excitement is evidence of just how serious the situation is. The bat decline is so severe that chances are we will not see them come back in our lifetime. Our children may not see it either. In fact, Cal Butchkoski, who serves as a mammologist with the Pennsylvania Game Commission, said it could take 100 years for a rebound in the bat population to occur. And that’s assuming that the reason why bats are declining — white-nose syndrome — were to suddenly disappear. Unfortunately, that time does not appear to be on the horizon. White-nose syndrome was first found in New York in 2006, and discovered in Pennsylvania four years later. Currently, it’s found in 22 states and five Canadian provinces, and the fungal infection has been devastating to bat populations. It kills bats by causing them to awaken in the winter and use up valuable energy reserves to the point where they basically starve to death. Some of our once most-common bats, such as the little brown bat, have been hit particularly hard. Even worse is the fact that there isn’t any way to treat or prevent the disease. But that hasn’t stopped the PGC from trying to save bats. It seems the agency is focusing its efforts on protecting those bats that have, so far, been able to survive white-nose. Possible methods include restricting caving activity in winter. Erecting gates on the entrances of caves and mines is another, such as the project going on right now at an old railroad tunnel on State Game Lands in Rice Township. A third option being considered is protecting small hibernation sites — those that used to be an afterthought when bats were plentiful. I say yes to them all. But it doesn’t have to end there. I’d like to see the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service list those bat species that have significantly dropped as federally threatened or endangered, affording the small mammals and their habitat even more protection. Sound drastic? Not hardly. Drastic is when an abandoned mine that used to harbor 35,000 bats just a few years ago now only holds 155. That’s what PGC biologists discovered in a mine in Blair County this past winter. So let’s assume all these protections are enacted and bats are listed as a federally endangered species. Why will it still take so long — a century — for bats to recover? Well, according to Butchkoski, bats reproduce at a painfully slow rate — one pup per year. And obviously, like anything in the wild, not all of them survive and are recruited into the population. Consider the mine in Blair County. Of those 155 bats, assume that half are female and reproduce. That would equate to roughly 78 young in a single year. Assume that an average of 60 survive, and in one year the bat population would increase from 155 to 215. Add another year and that number would jump to around 300. At that rate, it’s going to take a lot of years to get back to the original number of 35,000. It’s going to take at least 100 years. TomVenesky writes about the outdoors for The Times Leader.

Doe license status updates online Hunters who are anxious to know if they’ve been issued an antlerless deer license can track the status of their applications online. Antlerless licenses for the 2013- 14 season went on sale July 8, and as county treasurers process applications and allocate licenses, the information immediately is updated within the Pennsylvania Automated License System (PALS). Hunters also can check the latest information on the number of licenses that have been allocated, and how many remain for sale in each wildlife-management unit. To check on the status of an application, go to the Game Commission’s website (www.pgc. state.pa.us), and click on the blue “Buy a License” box in the upper right corner of the homepage. That will take you to The Outdoor Shop, where the first option on the page begins “Purchase Fishing and/or Hunting License Permit and or Application.” Click on that option, then scroll down to the bottom of the page and click “Start Here.” You then will need to enter identifying information, and click “Continue.” Next, verify whether you are a resident or nonresident, then scroll to the end of your personal information and choose “Check on the status of an Antlerless Deer or Elk Application.” Click “Continue,” and any licenses that have been allocated to you will appear. Many hunters report they appreciate the ability to check the status of antlerless licenses online. Before the updates were available electronically through PALS, hunters curious about an application’s status needed to contact their banks to see if checks were cashed by a county treasurer. Hunters also can use PALS to verify their applications for the elk license drawing are recorded accurately. The hunters whose names are drawn also can see their status information online. While the application period for antlerless deer licenses for residents is ongoing, nonresident applications for regular antlerless deer licenses will be accepted beginning July 29. After that, residents and nonresidents may apply for the first round of unsold antlerless deer licenses on Aug. 5, then a second round of unsold antlerless deer licenses Aug. 19. Beginning Aug. 5, for WMUs 2B, 5C and 5D only, there is no limit to the number of unsold antlerless deer license applications an individual can submit until the allocations are exhausted. This must be done by mail only, and there is a limit of three applications per pink envelope. Beginning Aug. 26, county treasurers will accept applications over-the-counter for WMUs 2B, 5C and 5D, and may immediately issue antlerless deer licenses. Hunters may apply over-the-counter to county treasurers for any other WMU with antlerless licenses for sale on Oct. 7. Updated allocation totals for antlerless deer licenses also are available at the Game Commission’s website. Select “Doe License Update” from the “Quick Clicks” box along the right side of the homepage. This update provides a real-time status of antlerless license allocations and availability by WMU, and helps license applicants to determine which WMUs to list as their first, second and third preferences when they submit applications. OutdOOrs News The call of the whip- poor-will and bobwhite quail have something in common. No, they don’t sound remotely similar, and one emanates from the forest at night while the other rises from the fields during the day. What they do have in common is they are both sounds that are seldom heard in Pennsylvania any- more, and the Pennsylvania Game Commission is hop- ing to bring at least one of the species back. Northern bobwhite quail were relatively common in parts of the state - par- ticularly agricultural areas, until the mid-1940’s. The population dropped in the 1950’s, made a recovery in the early 1960’s and then plummeted to the near non-existent levels of today. Habitat change - namely the loss of grass- land and brushy areas, is to blame. It’s a similar decline as the wild pheasant, but Wild Pheasant Recovery Areas are providing hope that pheasants can be brought back. Can the same thing hap- pen with wild quail? That’s what the PGC wants to find out, and it recently finished a 10-year management plan for the bobwhite quail with the main goal to restore wild breeding populations in suitable habitat across the state. The first step, accord- ing PGC game bird section supervisor Ian Gregg, is to review bird count data and find where, if anywhere, quail have been heard or seen. The agency will con- tract out that work, Gregg said, and then review the findings. The work is expected to begin by the end of this year. “It could show us clus- ters or scattered areas of quail, or it could tell us we don’t have many wild quail left in the state,” he said. There are biologists, Gregg said, that are con- vinced that wild quail - not those released for training bird dogs — are extirpated in the state. Gregg isn’t as convinced. “I’m not ready to go that far,” he said. If the data review deter- mines there are areas with evidence of wild quail, the agency may then conduct genetic sampling of the birds to determine if they are truly wild or the result of bobwhites released for dog training purposes. If wild quail are indeed confirmed in certain areas, intensive monitoring and habitat management will follow with the goal of expanding those popula- tions. But even if there are no wild quail left in the state, Gregg said there is still an option. “We’ll do a habitat evalu- ation to find any suitable habitat and work with other states to do a trap and transfer of wild quail,” he said. “But that will be challenging because quail are declining throughout the eastern U.S. and it might be tough finding a state willing to part with them.” While loss of grassy farm- land habitat is believed to be the biggest contributor to the wild quail decline, Gregg said there are other factors. Pennsylvania is on the northern edge of the bob- white’s range, and the diminutive bird doesn’t fare well in hard winters. On the eastern shore of Maryland, for example, quail were relatively com- mon until the harsh winter of 2009-2010 blanketed the area in deep snow. In less than a month, bobwhite quail were nearly extirpat- ed from the area due to the prolonged snow cover. That’s why Gregg believes habitat is the key to any successful wild quail reintroduction or expansion. Proper habitat would provide the birds with cover and food, and a better chance of surviving through the winter. Prime quail habitat is similar to that required by wild pheasants, Gregg said, and the WPRA’s are resulting in large areas of grasslands where wild pheasants are thriving. Could quail piggyback with wild pheasants in those areas? Possibly. “Habitat is definitely the focus to any type of success with wild quail,” Gregg said. Unlike wild pheasants, which are being established with the goal of providing huntable populations, the focus on re-establishing wild quail heads in a differ- ent direction. “The primary benefit for wild quail is re-estab- lishing a native species,” Gregg said. “With pheas- ants it’s huntable popula- tions, but with the quail plan we’re not being so ambitious. Just establish self-sustaining popula- tions first, while bringing them back to a huntable level could take 10 years or more, if at all.” While the agency was drafting the wild quail management plan, they received numerous public comments from hunters and non-hunters. Gregg said most mentioned the same thing when it came to wild quail. “They mentioned hear- ing them years ago. They miss that,” he said. Quail on the comeback? tOMVeNesKY

The playgrounds and school yard courts come alive when the tempera- ture warms up, with kids watching the NBA Finals and mimicking their favor- ite players. High school players hit the AAU circuit, crisscrossing the country for premier tournaments and college recruiting is in full effect. And for years, the NBA simply sat out. The championship would conclude in June, the draft would take place a week later and then the league would go dark for the rest of the summer. “The problem was in the old days, they would build up the draft, then nothing because they’d concede to baseball,” Warren LeGarie said. “That was a mistake.” LeGarie, an agent who represents some prominent NBA coaches, has helped turn the Las Vegas summer league into an event that keeps the league in the headlines well into July. What started as a six-team gathering that was thrown together on the fly in 2004 has blossomed into a 22-team summit that includes a tournament, owners’ meetings and one of the few chances for agents and representatives from all 30 teams to meet in one place to hash out contracts, discuss trades and lay the groundwork for future deals. “We want it so that people know that there’s great basketball, but there’s also a way to break down the walls so that people can reacquaint, develop new acquaintances or in some cases repair old acquaintances,” LeGarie said. “There was a lot of face to face. We created something like the winter baseball meetings, where people can come in converse, do business, and then get down to the business of bas- ketball.” LeGarie had been lobbying the league for quite some time to bring the summer league to Las Vegas for a cen- tralized event. Several satellite leagues had been run in the past, in places like Colorado, Boston and on the campus of Loyola Marymount in California. But the fractured nature of the meet- ings made it difficult for schedules to be coordinated, and the door opened for LeGarie in 2004. Boston hosted the Democratic national convention, leaving a dearth of hotel rooms for the teams scheduled to participate in the summer league. LeGarie got Boston, Washington, Cleveland, Phoenix, Denver and Orlando for the first Vegas summer league, and it quickly grew to a 16-team field. At the behest of Adam Silver, who will take over for David Stern as NBA commissioner in February, the NBA got directly involved in 2007, paying LeGarie, Albert Hall and VSL Properties to put on the event while helping with promotion and organiza- tion. “It’s highly successful,” Silver said. “The competition is terrific. We feel very much a part of the community in terms of our participation, our own- ers, GMs and coaches feel very wel- come here and it’s created fantastic programming.” The summer league games are broadcast on NBA TV and ESPN has a SportsCenter set on scene at the Thomas and Mack Center. The games feature high-profile rookies, but most of the scouts and executives watching from the stands are more interested in evaluating the many players who come to Vegas with no contract for the coming season. Everyone is constant- ly searching for the next diamond in the rough, the unknown talent who is either coming off an injury or hasn’t been put in the right situation yet. A player like Gary Neal. The Spurs guard went undrafted in 2007 and played in Spain, Turkey and Italy for three years before San Antonio invited him to play for its summer league team in 2010. He played well enough to earn a three- year contract and has established him- self as a key cog for a team that lost to the Miami Heat in seven games in the finals this season. Jeremy Lin started to make a name for himself with the Dallas Mavericks summer league team in 2010, earning him a contract with the Golden State Warriors. There are also the mirages that come in the desert, players like Anthony Randolph, Jonny Flynn and Randy Foye who lit up summer league but had trouble gaining traction in the league. And while most of the rosters are peppered with no-names, journey- men and guys who will never become stars in the league, it feeds the hard- core basketball fan that for too long was left without anything to sink his teeth into once the draft concluded. “They never understood the kind of appetite there was from not the nor- mal fan, the rabid fan,” LeGarie said. “The guy who lives and breathes with stats, with information and stories and background and all these things that sound quaint but to these guys it’s the life blood, their passion. “We realized we were on to some- thing in our first year when we didn’t get the box score up from the first game for like 15 minutes. We got hate mail saying, ‘Get that up! What are you guys doing?’” Over the years the tournament has expanded to two gyms on the UNLV campus and is holding a tournament that will crown a champion for the first time. “That’s making it way more com- petitive out here,” Timberwolves first-round pick Shabazz Muhammad said. “Guys are trying on defense and making each other better for the sea- son, which is a good thing. I think it’s a great idea that they went from a playoff system.” Vegas league puts NBAon summer map JON KRAWCZYNSKI AP Basketball Writer ‘Armageddon year’ for Garrett? Jerry Jones says no OXNARD, Calif. — Jerry Jones opened his 25th training camp as owner of the Dallas Cowboys sounding as if coach Jason Garrett would be around for 25 more. The first vote of confidence came even before someone could ask Saturday in the annual “State of the Cowboys” address that Jones gives on the eve of camp. The words got stronger after the questions started. Jones said it was a “mistake” to con- sider this a make-or-break year for Garrett, who missed the playoffs with 8-8 records in each of his two full seasons. Both ended with losses in finales to NFC East rivals with a playoff berth on the line. The owner and his coach shared a concert-like stage for nearly 40 minutes in what has become something of a sum- mer tradition for Jones since he bought the team in 1989. Garrett had to duck out for the first team meeting of camp, and as he was walking off the stage, Jones was asked if it was fair to say Garrett’s job was on the line. Jones leaned into the micro- phone, said “no” in several ways and even suggested that he was looking beyond the two years remaining on Garrett’s con- tract. “I look to the future with Jason and not just through his contract that we’re sitting here with right now,” Jones said. “But it is not what is implied when you say, ‘Well, this is an Armageddon year for him.’ It is not that with me.” The questions started as soon as the Cowboys overhauled their defensive staff a few weeks into the offseason, and not long after Jones said he was going to make things “uncomfortable” at team headquarters. Fueled by the comment, speculation centered on Garrett being a rubber stamp for the firing of defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, the hiring of replace- ment Monte Kiffin and the deci- sion to move play-calling duties from Garrett to Bill Callahan. Kiffin might not have helped things when he said his first phone calls were from the owner and his son, executive vice president Stephen Jones. Garrett had a stock answer for the “hot seat” issue all off- season: Everyone in the NFL is on it. The question for him Saturday was getting out of his personal .500 rut — and the team’s. The Cowboys are 128- 128 going back to the start of the 1997 season. “We are what we are to this point,” Garrett said. “But at some point in your life, you have to let the past go, whether it’s been great, good, mediocre or not so good. And you focus on learning from those experi- ences and getting better and take advantage of the opportu- nity in front of you.” Garrett and Jones think the Cowboys are better because they’re healthier than they were after a 28-18 loss to Washington that kept them out of the play- offs. The optimism has mostly to do with a defense that was missing six key players by the end of the season: linebackers Sean Lee and Bruce Carter, linemen Jay Ratliff and Kenyon Coleman, safety Barry Church and cornerback Orlando Scandrick. SCHUYLER DIXON AP Sports Writer HAMBURG, Germany — Roger Federer lost to Argentine qualifier Federico Delbonis 7-6 (7), 7-6 (4) Saturday in the semifinals of the German Tennis Championships. Federer, a four-time champi- on in Hamburg, was outplayed by the 114th-ranked left-hand- er who advanced to his first career final. “He played well, he was a lit- tle more aggressive,” Federer said. Federer took a wild card for Hamburg after losing in the second round at Wimbledon. In the final, Delbonis will play Fabio Fognini of Italy. Fognini defeated third-seeded Nicolas Almagro of Spain 6-4, 7-6 (1). Federer has dropped to No. 5, his lowest ranking in a decade. The 31-year-old Swiss ace’s only title this year came on grass before Wimbleon in Halle, Germany. The defending Wimbledon champion, Federer lost to No. 116 Sergiy Stakhovsky — a player who failed to qualify for Hamburg. It was his earliest Grand Slam defeat in 10 years, and his first loss to a player ranked outside the top 100 since 2005. Federer changed his racket after Wimbledon, going for a bigger frame. But he struggled in Hamburg, going to three sets in two of his previous three matches. Delbonis was playing only the second semifinal of his career. But he maintained his composure and gave Federer, the 17-time Grand Slam cham- pion, only two break points, one of which he saved. Federer broke for a 2-1 lead but was broken right back and had to save two set points to force the tiebreaker. He squan- dered a 4-2 lead, was unable to convert his one set point and saved three with service winners before Delbonis con- verted his fourth with a smash after some well-played points. Federer came under pres- sure immediately in the second set and had to fend off three break points in his opening service game and another in the sixth. Delbonis saved one break point in the next game with a superb volley winner. In the tiebreaker, Federer made two straight ground- stroke errors and he netted a forehand on Delbonis’ first match point. Delbonis will improve to a career-high ranking of around No. 59, according to the ATP. Fognini won his first career title in Stuttgart last week and is riding a nine-match winning streak. “I feel incredible,” Fognini said. The Italian earned his 24th win on clay this season. Fognini is the second Italian to reach the final in Hamburg after Adriano Panatta lost to Manuel Orantes in 1972. Almagro is second in career clay-court titles among active players with 12. Rafael Nadal has 42. Meusburger beats Knapp to reach Bad Gastein fnal BAD GASTEIN, Austria — Andrea Hlavackova of the Czech Republic edged Elina Svitolina of Ukraine 7-5, 6-7 (1), 6-4 to set up a final against Yvonne Meusburger at the Gastein Ladies on Saturday. Meusburger reached her second straight WTA final by defeating Karin Knapp of Italy 6-4, 6-3. The Austrian was beaten by Romania’s Simona Halep for the title in Budapest last week. Hlavackova had not been beyond the quarterfinals of a WTA event before. Ranked 108th, she specializes in doubles, where she won the French Open in 2011 and fin- ished runner-up at Wimbledon, the London Olympics and the U.S. Open last year. Hlavackova and Meusburger will meet for the first time. In her third career final, Meusburger is looking for her first title. Serena Williams wins semifnal in Swedish Open BASTAD, Sweden — Serena Williams defeated Klara Zakopalova 6-0, 6-4 Saturday in the semifinals of the Swedish Open. After losing the first eight games, the Czech managed to break Williams’ serve and tie the set at 2-2. Zakopalova used the momen- tum to keep the set close, but top-ranked Williams broke back to take the set and the match. In the other semifinal, Sweden’s Johanna Larsson ral- lied to overpower Italy’s Flavia Pennetta 2-6, 6-3, 6-4.

South Of Hanover Area High School Joe Lasecki Proprietor Your Bass Fishing Your Bass Fishing Your Bass Fishing JAY COHEN AP Sports Writer JOILET, Ill. — Just as predictable as the weekend fender bashing is the awk- ward conversation a few days later. This time, it was Elliott Sadler and Regan Smith. And they talked, too. Even Dale Earnhardt Jr. waded into the fray. The latest NASCAR feud arrived at Chicagoland Speedway on Saturday when Sadler, Smith and rest of the Nationwide drivers held two practice sessions for today’s STP 300. The stop in suburban Chicago comes one week after the championship contenders got into a heated discussion in New Hampshire. “For him to do what he did at New Hampshire, I’m still ticked about it,” Sadler said. “But we talked and we agree that our racing’s going to change a little bit between us. But we know that we’re going to be rac- ing around each other a lot between now and Homestead.” That means the dispute could have staying power, especially after the conver- sation between Sadler and Smith produced little head- way. It all started when Smith spun Sadler around on the final restart in the Nationwide race at Loudon, costing him a shot at a solid top-10 finish and a potential $100,000 bonus. An angry Sadler then confronted Smith after the race, insist- ing he would not win the series title this year. “I made the move and I can’t take it back,” Smith said. “I understand his anger 100 percent, and I know exactly where he was coming from. He was racing for a lot of money and the opportunity to race for a lot of money again this week.” Throwing out what was at stake, Sadler thought the collision was particularly egregious because he felt he handed a big break to Smith when he gave him extra room to maneuver in a tough spot at the series’ stop in Iowa and said he went out of his way to race him cleanly earlier in New Hampshire. The two talked during the week, and Earnhardt, the co-owner of Smith’s No. 7 Chevrolet, also reached out to close friend Sadler. “We talked and if it’s a situation where we’re going for it, I’m sure he’s going to race me considerably harder than what he has in the past,” Smith said, “and that’s to be expected. I would do the same.” Sadler, who won last July’s Nationwide race at Chicagoland, shook his head from side to side when asked if he felt any better after the conversation. “My No. 1 goal is to win the championship and win races,” he said. “The effect of me and how I race Regan is just going to change, as far as giving room and give and take and stuff like that is probably going to change a little bit.” Sadler finished 18th in New Hampshire and is fifth in the standings, trail- ing series leader Smith by 24 points. Sam Hornish Jr. is second, just five points back, and Austin Dillon is third with 16 races left. “I love it. I hope that they’re mad at each other,” Dillon said, enjoying the argument between Sadler and Smith. “If not, I’m going to go tell Elliott Regan’s talking about him behind his back. I think it’s funny.” While arguments between competitors are nothing new in sports, NASCAR drivers seem to make more of an effort to smooth over disputes than say, two hockey players who just got into a fight. When the dugouts clear at a base- ball game, don’t expect to see the managers jump on the phone to air their griev- ances. Sadler said there’s a simple reason for that dif- ference. “When you play hockey, you have ‘Blackhawks’ written on your jersey, so you’re responsible for the Blackhawks,” he said. “When you drive racing, we have Fortune 500 com- panies up here. They don’t want you running around, I think, punching people, then setting a bad example. And I think it’s a courtesy thing.” Smith-Sadler feud still simmering AP Photo Driver Elliott Sadler climbs into his car before practice for the NASCAR Nationwide Series STP 300 at Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, Ill., on Saturday. The Associated Press SYLVANIA, Ohio — The Marathon Classic isn’t a match-play tourna- ment. Except for maybe this year. Beatriz Recari birdied the two closing par 5s to catch Paula Creamer atop the leaderboard through 54 holes Saturday, setting up a head-to-head battle between players who are three shots clear of the field. Recari, a 26-year-old Spaniard who has won twice on the LPGA Tour, conceded that it’s hard not to get caught up in a two- person competition. “Definitely, it’s easier because you’re playing with the player clos- est to you in score,” she said. “You still have to do your best. You can’t control what she does, so you always have to stay focused on what you’re doing.” They were at 12-under 201 after each shooting 4-under 67. The showdown could be a preview. Recari is expected to make the European team for the Solheim Cup next month — where match play rules — and Creamer is one of the mainstays of the American side. Creamer, who won in 2008 when the tourna- ment was known as the Jamie Farr Toledo Classic, led throughout the round by as many as two shots before Recari’s late surge at Highland Meadows. She was pleased to find herself being the hunted instead of the hunter. “I love this feeling,” said Creamer, who has nine wins but none since the 2010 U.S. Women’s Open. “I haven’t felt it for a while. I’ve normally been chasing the leaders, but this is great. This is right where I wanted to be.” The last time she played in the same group with Recari, it was Recari who had the edge. In the third round of the Kia Classic in March in California, Recari shot a 69 when paired in the last grouping with Creamer, who had a 71. Recari, who had won the CVS last year, ended up winning in a playoff with I.K. Kim. Creamer faded to a tie for 17th. “She’s a great player,” Recari said. “It’s always great to play with her.” Creamer, who set the tournament record with a first-round 60 in her vic- tory lap five years ago, is expecting a battle. “She’s steady. She hits a lot of fairways and greens and gives herself a lot of opportunities to make birdies,” she said about Recari. “At the same time, there are so many players out there that you have to kind of be aware of. But she’s definitely going to be fighting until the end.” There are plenty of potential challengers, even though several of the biggest names — includ- ing world No. 1 Inbee Park, defending champ So Yeon Ryu and top amateur Lydia Ko all fell back into the pack. Rising American teen Lexi Thompson had a 67 and, along with Jacqui Concolino and Japan’s Chie Arimura, was three shots back. “I’ve been working on trusting my targets — picking out a target and just visualizing my shot,” Thompson said. “That’s what I’ve been doing every shot. I’ve committed pretty good to them.” Concolino, whose career-best tie for 11th came at the event last year, had a 69. She has revived her desire to play since taking time off from com- petitive golf after gradu- ating from Vanderbilt in 2009. “I just got a little burnt out in college and needed some time to myself,” she said of her lengthy hiatus. “Ever since I was 13, I’ve been doing every- thing for golf, golf, golf. I never really had time to enjoy friends and family how you would want to. So that’s what I did for a year and a half, two years, and started to get back on track.” Arimura, fourth in the LPGA’s rookie standings, three-putted the final hole for bogey and a 68. Jennifer Johnson (66), Chella Choi (66) and Jodi Ewart Shadoff (68) were at 205. Park has been the talk of the tour this year, with six victories including wins in all three of the major championships. She’ll go for four in a row when the tour returns to action in two weeks at the Women’s British Open at St. Andrew’s. But after winning three in a row and with a solid finish last week, she sagged to a 73 that left her tied for 23rd. She double-bogeyed the first hole after hitting her drive into a fairway bunker and never recovered. Ryu, who shot a 62 in the final round to win a year ago by seven strokes, shot a 70 and was six shots back of the leaders. Ko became the youngest LPGA winner ever when she took the Canadian Women’s Open last year at 15, but she had a 71 and was tied with Ryu at 207. Recari, Creamer share lead at Marathon Beatriz Recari sinks a putt for a birdie on the 18th green during the third round of the Marathon Classic at Highland Meadows Golf Club in Sylvania, Ohio, on Saturday. The birdie left her tied with Paula Creamer for the lead, heading into today’s final round. The Associated Press LORTON, Va. — Jordan Niebrugge hasn’t put a lot of thought into exactly what it will be like to play in the Masters. The Oklahoma State sophomore just knows he’ll have a far better view of the course next year. Niebrugge won the U.S. Amateur Public Links on Saturday at Laurel Hill, beating University of California junior Michael Kim 1 up in the 36-hole final, with the winner tra- ditionally receiving a spot in the Masters — if still an amateur “It’s just a dream come true for any golfer,” Niebrugge said. “This past year after our win at Dallas, the team, we were driv- ing back and we were obsessed with watching the Masters — we got it online. We watched it in the van on the way home — it was five or six hours.” The 19-year-old Niebrugge, from Mequon, Wis., was 1 up after the morning round and increased the margin to four in the first six holes in the afternoon. “I thought if I went and played the course like I did all week, I thought I’d have a chance in the end and that’s kind of where I ended up,” said Niebrugge. Niebrugge trailed after only two of his 114 holes in six rounds of match play. Kim, the 20-year-old Walker Cup player from Del Mar, Calif., rallied with birdie wins on the 27th and 30th holes. Niebrugge went with- out a bogey until the 31st hole when he three-putt- ed and had his lead cut to one. On the 33rd, Niebrugge matched Kim’s birdie to maintain the one-hole lead. They halved the final five holes. “A let up a little bit during that first nine in the afternoon and Jordan played great in that stretch,” Kim said. “I tried to make a comeback and pulled within one, but I just kind of ran out of holes.” Kim, the low amateur in the U.S. Open at Merion after winning the Jack Nicklaus and Fred Haskins awards as the college play- er of the year, ended any chance of extra holes when he hit his second shot on the 36th into the water. Niebrugge finished with six birdies, and Kim had seven birdies and three bogeys. Niebrugge wins US Amateur Public Links SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. _ There are two things you notice right off about the C-21A passenger jet under the command of Air Force Maj. Jared Detloff. First, the cockpit that Detloff shares with his co- pilot is small and cramped_as in sardines-in-a-can small and cramped. Second, the space directly behind the cockpit is jammed with a mountain of printed maps, navigational charts and flight manuals _ nearly 50 pounds of paper that must be tossed out and replaced every two months as the maps and manuals are continuously updated. Not surprisingly, Detloff and his fellow aviators at the 375th Operations Group jumped at the chance to serve as guinea pigs for an experi- mental Air Force program to see if an iPad mini tablet could replace the manuals and charts that make up the tradi- tional paper-based flight bag. So far the new “electronic flight bags” are working bet- ter than expected for the pilots who fly Scott’s C-21A’s, the military version of the Learjet 35 that Scott pilots often use as aeromedical ambulances to ferry military patients to stateside hospitals and clinics. Detloff acknowledged going through a learning curve as he made the transition to an electronic tablet after a career spent relying on printed books and charts. “There have been some dif- ferences, but so far the recep- tion has been very positive,” he said. “This is a ‘crawl, walk, run’ phase.” On a recent mission to Washington, Detloff slithered behind the C-21A’s W-shaped control yoke. Onto the yoke’s column he attached, with a Velcro strip, his iPad mini. With a few deft movements, his index finger darted across the iPad’s display screen, pull- ing up the flight plan, followed by the departure procedure. Later, at the end of his flight back to Scott, he touch- screened from the en route flight plan to the radio signal charts marking the instru- ment landing approach. Detloff is in charge of data collection for his unit. Which means he switches off from relying on the iPad mini with his co-pilot, who relies on the paper maps and charts. After each flight, the two answer questions on a survey form to assess the iPad’s effectiveness compared to the paper docu- ments. At the end of a 90-day trial set to begin soon, Detloff will tabulate the data, write a report and turn it in to the Air Mobility Command, based at Scott, which will make the final call. The cost savings of the switch to the iPad mini could be significant. Each year alone, taxpayers spend $25,000 to replace the 375th Operations Group’s paper manuals and charts with updated printed documents. “We’re sure hoping by the fall we’ll get it operation- ally approved so we can start using it full time,” he said. “But that’s going to depend on some factors out of our control.” With an iPad mini cost- ing slightly more than $500 apiece, “The devices essen- tially pay for themselves relatively quickly when you look at how often we have to replace the paper,” Detloff said. The Air Force figures to save millions more in reduced fuel costs, in light of the fact Medicare poses key questions for seniors One of the most important decisions seniors will make is choosing the right Medicare coverage when they become eligible for the federal health insurance program. “Your first year of Medicare eligibility is one of the most critical times because of the variety of choices you have to make and the potential for costly mistakes that may last your lifetime,” said Paula Muschler, manager of the Allsup Medicare Advisor, which helps seniors make Medicare selections. That’s because there are recurring penalities you will have to pay if you don’t sign up for certain types of Medicare coverage when you first become eligible. “If you do not have creditable cover- age (coverage as good as or better than Medicare), there are penalties that you will have to pay once you finally do enroll and will have to continue to pay for as long as you have Medicare,” Muschler said. There also are “some complex choices that can impact your entire family,” she said. For example, if your employer’s insur- ance plan provides coverage for your spouse and dependents and you leave the plan to enroll in Medicare, your family could be left without coverage. So it’s important to choose Medicare plans that match your health needs and financial resources. “It’s all driven by cost and how the benefits are going to work,” said Tamela Southan, a Dallas health insurance agent. “The second thing is, can I still see my current doctor? How are my medica- tions? Are they covered and how are they going to be covered?” Choose carefully. Generally, if Medicare beneficiaries want to change their coverage, they must wait until the next open enrollment period, which runs from mid-October through early December. Since signing up for Medicare can be confusing, here’s what you need to know: The Basics Medicare has four parts: Part A helps cover inpatient care at hospitals, care at skilled nursing facili- ties, hospice care and home health care. Part B helps cover services from doc- tors and other health care providers, out- patient care, home health care, durable medical equipment and some preventive services. Together, Part A and Part B make up Traditional or Original Medicare. Part C is the Medicare Advantage Plan and includes all benefits and services covered under Part A and Part B. The plans often have more benefits than traditional Medicare, including dental and vision coverage, and usually include prescription drug coverage. These plans are provided through private insurance companies that have a contract with Medicare. Part D is the prescription drug cover- age. The coverage is run by Medicare- approved private insurance companies and helps cover the cost of prescription drugs. When You Can Enroll Most people become eligible for Medicare when they turn 65. If you’re collecting Social Security retirement ben- efits, you should be enrolled in Medicare automatically. If you’re not, you’ll need to sign up with the Social Security Administration to get Medicare. You can enroll in Medicare anytime from three months before turning 65 up to three months afterward. If you don’t sign up when you first become eligible, you can enroll between Jan. 1 and March 31 each year. “The election process is very time-sen- sitive, and there are penalties if a person does not follow the timelines correctly,” Southan said. If you’re still working when you turn 65 and have health insurance through an employer who has more than 20 workers, you can sign up for Medicare at any time. It may be to your advantage to delay to save the monthly premium for Part B. Once your employment or insurance coverage ends, you will have an eight- month window to enroll. Primary Vs. Secondary When you have other insurance, such as employer group coverage, there are rules that decide whether Medicare or your other insurance pays first. ON FINANCE: PAMELAYIP BUSINESS timesleader.com THETIMES LEADER Sunday, July 21, 2013 SECTION D Pamela Yip Contributing Columnist See YIP | 2D Daily fantasy sports bring instant payout PARESH DAVE Los Angeles Times On some days, Christopher Batsche can walk away with hundreds of dollars with a $2 buy-in. But he’s not heading to casinos and he isn’t playing online poker. Instead, the 27-year-old from Cincinnati goes to a web- site before the day’s Major League Baseball games begin and picks players who he expects will hit and pitch bet- ter than players selected by other bettors. When the play- ers do well in the real games, Batsche, who pays $2 to play, can win as much as $700. Batsche is taking part in a new form of fantasy sports that is rapidly growing in pop- ularity. Unlike traditional fan- tasy sports, in which gamers select a set of players before the sports season begins and then must wait until the sea- son is over to collect, bettors such as Batsche can choose players and bet every day. The payback, if any, is immediate rather than months later. “I do some research on my breaks at work, then spend a couple of hours after work researching, and then I tune in to podcasts or videos discuss- ing the day’s action,” he said. The daily fantasy league has been gaining traction with avid fantasy sports players _ the kinds of fans willing to spend time posting to online forums and listening to sports talk shows on the radio. Nowthe industry is set to go mainstream, moving from the world of Wall Street traders, Las Vegas regulars and college students to more casual fans of sports and entertainment. Recently, a fledgling Los Angeles firm that’s led by a big name from the fantasy sports industry received a $25 million investment. TopLine Game Labs is creating short- term games that are appealing to a wide audience. It enters an industry with dozens of competitors. After the federal govern- ment shut down illegal online poker websites in 2011, daily fantasy sports emerged as an instant-gratification alterna- tive for many Internet bettors. Its own legal status is unclear. Although payouts for fantasy sports are legal under a 2006 federal law, daily games didn’t exist then so they weren’t considered. Signaling a lucrative market, Cantor Ventures’ financing of TopLine was at least the fifth major investment in the daily games industry this year. “This was a slam-dunk opportunity to get involved in something at just the beginning of its life cycle,” Cantor Ventures director Jed Kleckner said. TopLine Game Labs’ first service, a weekly fantasy foot- ball game, should launch by fall. David Geller, the head of Yahoo’s wildly successful fantasy sports division until a year ago, founded the com- pany. “One of the things we saw at Yahoo is that in the season- long games, 50 percent to 60 percent of the audience is no longer in contention by mid- season,” Geller said. “Traffic starts to dip, and interest starts to wane.” Daily and weekly games are designed to keep people hooked 365 days a year. Geller said TopLine would differentiate itself by creating a technology platform that can host games for sports around the world. He also wants to dip into other topics, such as MCT PHOTO David Geller, CEO of TopLine Game Labs, center, with, from left, Tyler Andersen, designer, Gene Ragan, developer, Ian Lollar, developer and Andre Clark, developer, recently received financial backing from Cantor Ventures, in Los Angeles, Calif.

Seder Contributing Columnist STEALS AND DEALS WASHINGTON _ Not long before headlines exposed National Security Agency programs that secretly collect records of Americans’ phone calls, another surveillance sys- tem got far less attention: Nordstrom, the department store chain, acknowledged it was tracking customers without their knowledge in 17 stores. Nordstrom had hired a company to log a unique number emitted by shop- pers’ smartphones, which automatically connected to Wi-Fi systems as they moved through the stores. Shortly after a Dallas TV station broke the story in May, Nordstrom announced it was discon- tinuing the program. The company that sold the tracking service, Euclid Analytics, has tracked 50 million devices in 4,000 locations for 100 corporate and other customers, its founder has said. Shoppers are free to opt out, but the process is complex _ they must enter their phone’s media access control address, known as a MAC address, on Euclid’s web- site. Self-confessed leaker Edward Snowden’s dis- closures about domestic spying by the NSA have sparked a broad debate about whether the govern- ment is using sophisticated surveillance and data-min- ing techniques on its own citizens without sufficient oversight. But information gathered and exploited by Internet giants such as Google, Amazon and Facebook _ and traded by lesser- known data brokers such as Datalogix and Acxiom _ can be more revealing than what the NSA can legally collect on most Americans. Few consumers understand what data are being shared, with whom, or how the information is being used. “We normally think of the NSA as being far ahead of corporate America, but I’m not so sure they are that far ahead anymore,” said Mark Herschberg, chief technol- ogy officer at Madison Logic, a New York-based company that provides data for advertisers. “There are thousands of companies out there col- lecting information on cus- tomers, and together they are really aggregating quite a bit of data,” he added. “Google is reading through your email. Amazon is looking at not just what you buy, but what you shop for.” The collection and analy- sis of consumer informa- tion in bulk is enabled by what has been dubbed the “Big Data” revolution _ the combination of digitiza- tion, cheap storage, robust computing power and sophisticated analytics that allows experts to find cor- relations in ever-expanding pools of data. In many ways, Big Data has been a boon for con- sumers, allowing compa- nies to tailor products and services. Netflix says three- fourths of its film and TV show rentals come from its own recommendations, which rely on automated analysis of customer prefer- ences. Big Data also has the potential, advocates say, to improve medical outcomes, streamline government services and reduce crime. The Los Angeles Police Department is analyzing data to isolate hot spots in its “predictive polic- ing” program, for example, steering officers to where crimes are expected to hap- pen. The downside may be just as dramatic, however. Most Americans emit a stream of personal digital exhaust _ what they search for, what they buy, who they communicate with, where they are _ that is captured and exploited in a largely unregulated fashion. The information can be used by identity thieves, insurance companies, prospective employers or opponents in a civil lawsuit. “How do I express my privacy require- ments? Increasingly, it means I have shut off my phone and become a digital hermit,” said Ian Glazer, a vice president at Gartner Inc., an informa- tion technology research and advisory company. an iPad mini weighs less than 11 ounces, versus the 50 pounds or more of paper it would replace. The online technology publication ZDNet in May reported that the Air Force expects to save up to $50 million over the next 10 years from savings in fuel, paper and time because of iPads that are being dis- tributed to flight crews throughout the Air Force. “In any era of budget- cutting, any savings you achieve is definitely worth it,” Detloff said, noting that weight equals cost. “If you carry a 100 pounds of extra stuff on your plane, then every hour you’re going to burn three pounds of extra fuel,” he said. “If you look at the number of hours we fly, the weight savings is pretty high. Frequently, if we can save 50 pounds, that’s going to be more bags, maybe one extra pas- senger, maybe a little bit more fuel to get the mis- sion a little further.” That same logic led the Air Mobility Command in March 2012 to approve a nearly $9.4 million con- tract to buy up to 18,000 iPad 2s for use by AMC trainers, pilots, navigators and other flight personnel. Maj. Pete Brichenough, who oversees the AMC’s electronic flight bag pro- gram, told Bloomberg News at the time that, with the limited space in the cockpit and “the amount of paper that each crew has to manage, it can quickly become controlled chaos. An electronic flight bag could solve this issue by putting all information in one place to be recalled and updated almost imme- diately.” The Air Force awarded the contract to a firmcalled Executive Technology Inc., of Phoenix. The firm will sell the iPad 2s with 32 gigabytes of memory to the Air Force for $520 apiece, compared to the $599 they would cost apiece if bought at a retail store. But unlike civilian iPads, the ones being bought by Air Force won’t allow their users to play “Jetpack Joyride,” download any other apps not mission- related or load personal programs. The Air Force iPads link up to a highly secure computer network to keep out hackers and viruses. The Air Force’s adoption of electronic flight bags fol- lows the path already being cut by civilian aviation. More than two years ago, the Federal Aviation Administration allowed Alaska Airlines to toss out its paper flight bags for tablets, resulting in the savings of 2.4 million piec- es of paper, fuel savings from reduced weight and even more cost savings expected from “fewer back and muscle injuries caused by pilots carrying flight bags,” according to a state- ment the airline released in 2011. Two months later, United Airlines followed suit, deploying 11,000 iPads to all its pilots, resulting to an estimated yearly savings of 326,000 gallons of jet fuel, the air- line announced. The 375th Operations Group received its first iPads about a year ago, along with four other AMC units. But the 375th’s air crews quickly discovered the regular iPad 2s were too big for the cramped C-21 cockpits “When the mini came out, someone had their own and looked at it, we said this would really meet our needs,” said Detloff, who, after a few hours of tinkering in his garage, rigged a Velcro harness to attach the mini to the cen- ter of the plane’s control yoke. While the iPad mini has so far been a hit, it does suf- fer from one big drawback: right now there’s no way to use the C-21A’s electri- cal system to recharge it in-flight. “So if you’re going on a long day’s mission, you have to make sure it’s fully charged prior to the mis- sion,” he said. “We didn’t have worry about that with paper.” PAGE 2D Sunday, July 21, 2013 BUSINESS www.timesleader.com THE TIMES LEADER Typically, Medicare is the primary insurer for small employers and the sec- ondary insurer for larger employers. If you have group coverage through your employer and Medicare is your sec- ondary insurer, you can delay signing up for Part B without penalty, Muschler said. However, Medicare becomes the primary insurer — and your employer’s insurance is the secondary payer — if your employer has fewer than 20 employ- ees. In that case, you may need to enroll in Part B before your insurance will pay on a claim. Virginia Stein, 67, of Murphy, Texas, learned that the hard way when she didn’t enroll in Part B when she turned 65 because she was on her husband’s health insurance at his job. Instead she enrolled in January for coverage that took effect last Monday. “If you are with a company that pays medical insurance, you can sign up in the fall, or so we thought,” she said. “The kicker that comes in is my husband’s company has six employees.” So Stein was hit with a late enrollment penalty, which she’s appealing. “It’s very confusing,” she said. “I opted not to do Part B at that time because my husband’s company was paying for both of us.” Drug Coverage “Typically the biggest difference between Medicare coverage and group coverage lies in that prescription drug coverage,” Muschler said. Most Medicare drug plans have a coverage gap commonly known as the “doughnut hole.” This means that there’s a temporary limit on what the drug plan will cover for drugs. Medicare beneficiaries enter the doughnut hole once they and their drug plan have spent $2,970 for covered drugs. They get out of the doughnut hole once they’ve spent $4,750 out of pocket for the year. “If they’re someone who takes a lot of medications or expensive branded medi- cations, with Medicare coverage they’re probably going to hit that coverage gap,” Muschler said, “whereas with a private employer sponsored plan, there isn’t that time of the year where their prescriptions aren’t going to be covered.” The Affordable Care Act is gradually doing away with the doughnut hole. This year, Medicare beneficiaries get a 52.5 percent price break on their brand- name drugs while in the doughnut hole and a 21 percent break on their generic drugs. Those price breaks increase in future years so that the coverage gap closes in 2020. Impact On Family Consider the impact of your Medicare decision on your family. “Becoming Medicare eligible can put workers at a crossroads if they have provided health care [coverage] for their family through their employer plan,” Muschler said. “Some employers may continue to provide coverage to a worker’s family, or they may need to purchase COBRA coverage or private coverage for their family.” It’s important to check this with your employer before leaving your company’s plan for Medicare to ensure your family isn’t left without health insurance. Obamacare’s Impact Medicare won’t be part of the health insurance exchanges that will be cre- ated as a result of the Affordable Care Act. The exchanges won’t affect your Medicare choices, and your benefits won’t change. So, if you’re covered by Medicare or a Medicare Advantage Plan, you don’t need to worry and you don’t need to do anything.

The games would be avail- able across desktop and mobile devices, though the company will have a mobile-first philosophy. “If you have a few min- utes waiting for someone, you might as well pull up the app and make a predic- tion on a topic of interest,” Geller said. TopLine is paying spe- cial attention to trying to make the game inviting to people hesitant to gamble their money by giving players the option to com- pete for non-cash rewards and prizes. “We want to have some- thing that still rewards users and makes it compet- itive for them,” Geller said. At Yahoo, Geller helped make fantasy games more user-friendly. One inno- vation enabled users to drag and drop the names of players to easily shift around their lineups. Geller left Yahoo to focus on the creation of mobile apps, serving for a year as president of DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc.’s incubator division. Since founding TopLine in April, he’s hired 10 employees. The count should double by January. Already on his roster is Edwin Pankau, who had been Yahoo’s senior product manager for fantasy sports. Yahoo, ESPN and CBS _ the leaders in season- long online games _ don’t offer short-term games yet. Legal experts say big com- panies may be scared off because short-term games remain in murky taxation and legal territory. The 2006 federal law allows for fantasy sports games as long as a bettor’s wins or losses “reflect the relative knowledge and skill of the participants” rather than the outcome of a single game or a single athlete’s performance. Geller said TopLine’s offerings would pass legal muster. “The short-term games are more interesting on a skill level because you have to know about match- ups that are imminent,” he said. “You can’t bank on the law of averages to even things out over a season.” Despite the potential for scrutiny, several short- term sites have earned major funding. Barry Diller’s IAC/ InteractiveCorp has a stake in DraftStreet, a daily games website. Competitor DraftKings raised $7 million from Atlas Venture. FanDuel picked up $11 million, largely from Comcast Ventures. MGT Capital Investments took a majori- ty stake in FanThrowdown for about $2.5 million in stock. Even investment bank Cantor Fitzgerald, the par- ent company of the group that invested in TopLine, launched a daily gam- ing website this year. It also owns the Hollywood Stock Exchange, a virtual market for buying shares of movies and celebrities. TopLine plans to draw from lessons learned from those two sites. DraftDay, Nitrodraft and several others offer short-term games too. Los Angeles-based daily games website Amped Fantasy is trying to get games into bars and casinos through touch-screen tables. In Huntington Beach, Calif., former poker star Tri Nguyen runs Frafty. Nguyen said his daily games service will attract users because it’s designed for people who have never played fantasy sports. Analysts expect the fan- tasy gaming industry to see tremendous growth in the next few years as mobile devices give more people access to games. IBISWorld analyst Dale Schmidt said TopLine’s focus on mobile users could be a key advantage because the company isn’t concerned about maintain- ing eyeballs for long peri- ods of time. Still, he said, TopLine could struggle if it fails to secure the strong marketing partnerships needed to attract users in the first place. “It is a fast-growing industry that’s attracting a lot of companies with good reason,” Schmidt said. OFFIce cOAch Employee should apoligize for outburst of criticism Q UESTION: I recently made a huge mistake at work. After an extremely stressful day, I expressed some very negative opinions about the company in gen- eral and my manager in particular. Because several people overheard these comments, my boss eventually found out about them. Since then, my manager has made frequent cutting remarks about my attitude and performance, some- times in the presence of other staff members. Is there any way to repair this disaster, or should I just look for another job? ANSWER: If the relationship with your boss was reasonably good before this unfortunate occurrence, and if your disparaging comments weren’t too personal, then you may be able to recover. The only way to find out is to offer an honest, heartfelt apology. For example: “Mary, I’m afraid you may have heard about some remarks I made when I was feeling very stressed. I was dealing with a difficult project and said some things I truly did not mean. I want you to know that I really respect and appreciate you, so I hope you will accept my apology and disregard those stupid comments.” Having expressed your regret, stop talking and wait for your boss’s reaction. With any luck, she will say that all is forgiven, but if she’s still upset, you may have to reiterate your remorse. After that, you just need to become the most pleasant, supportive employee your manager has ever met. Q : The business I joined eleven months ago was recently purchased by a Fortune 500 company. Since then, the starting pay for new hires has increased significantly. However, no similar adjustment has been made to my own salary, nor have I received any other type of pay increase. I never mentioned these concerns because I was applying for a promo- tion and did not want to rock the boat. Now the promotion has gone to someone else, and I’m beginning to feel angry and unappreciated. I believe that management is taking advantage of me. Although I am presently seeking other employment, I would still like to increase my cash flow. How should I address these pay issues? A: Let’s take a moment to consider the bigger picture. The vast majority of new employees do not receive sal- ary increases or promotions during their first year, so you may be suffer- ing from unrealistic expectations. If that’s your primary reason for jumping ship, perhaps you should reconsider. Also, your narrow focus on pay may have caused you to overlook an impor- tant fact. As a result of this acquisi- tion, you have actually joined another company without changing jobs. In a large corporation, you may find oppor- tunities and career paths which did not previously exist. Acquisitions typically include a detailed process for “mapping” exist- ing employees into the pay scale of the acquiring company. Your human resources manager should be able to explain the post-acquisition pay structure and correct any inadvertent errors. Finally, remember that corporate rewards are generally given to those viewed positively by management. So if you are hoping for raises and promotions, you will need to let go of your anger and resentment. Marie G.

Answers edited for content and clarity. Tim Westergren Pandora Media stock has nearly doubled, but the Internet radio giant is a touchy subject among recording artists. Many feel the company doesn’t pay them enough in royalties each time a song is streamed to listeners. Pandora says it pays the music industry roughly $1.40 for every 1,000 song plays. The payouts totaled more than $214 million last year, or about half of Pandora’s revenue. The company’s 2012 revenue of $427 million largely came from ads that play between songs. Pandora will go before the Copyright Royalty Board in Janu- ary to enter a new royalty-setting process with the music industry. Pandora founder Tim Wester- gren offers insight on the music business and Pandora’s future. Does the size of Pandora’s performance royalty payout remove incentives to generate revenue in other ways — like selling music? Of course, we’re constantly thinking about: How can we make more money? But those additional revenue streams require additional technology investment. When you think about that, you have to decide: Do we invest more money in becoming a retailer or trying subscriptions, or different things versus investing our money in getting better at advertising. Almost every time, getting better at advertising is a much better use of the additional resources. There’s something of a theme that’s a talking point, about, “Why don’t you just make more money?” Yeah, we’re onto that. And you guys are making more money, right? We have over 900 employees and a little over half of them are fully dedicated to selling ads, trafficking, reporting ad sales. We are an ad-selling business. So, that’s just a talking point that people use to fuel the fire about royalties. The labels say Internet radio is replacing music sales. Is the growing number of radio listen- ers cutting into purchases? Pandora listeners buy more music. In fact, data from research firm NPD just came out. The results show that Pandora listeners, in a year when most buyers’ consump- tion is going down, Pandora’s is going up. I think what gets lost in this is because of what’s happening to overall revenue for music, there’s this emphasis on royalties, royalties, I want more, I want more. And not stepping back and saying, “Ok, wait a minute. Here’s a platform that’s generating demand for me.” People are discovering more music, which leads to other forms of commerce, transactions. Granted, some of those, like CD sales, are under pressure, but there are live shows, swag, etc. What’s the optimal royalty? It’s one that’s obviously fair and generous, but promotes growth, and that’s generating demand. Because otherwise, you’re killing the goose that can lay the golden egg. Pandora’s box InsiderQ&A AP Mutual funds that focus on small company stocks have been top performers over the last year and the long term. Take a look at small-cap growth stock funds. They’ve returned an average 23 percent this year and 9 percent annually over the last decade. That beats the average 17 percent return of large-cap growth funds this year, as well as their 7 percent annual return for the last 10 years. But that strong performance means that small-cap stocks no longer look like bargains. The average price-earnings ratio for stocks in the Standard & Poor’s 600 index of small-cap stocks is 21, which is 27 percent higher than the five-year average P/E. Managers of small-cap funds nevertheless say these stocks can continue to climb. The economy is strength- ening and historically small-cap stocks have done well in a healthy economy. Second quarter earnings season is underway and financial analysts are forecasting much bigger gains for small company stocks. They expect the S&P 600 to show 18 percent growth in earnings per share from a year earlier. That’s more than quadruple the 4 percent growth they expect from the S&P 500 index of large-cap stocks, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices. Next year, analysts expect the gap to remain wide. They forecast 26 percent earnings growth for small-cap stocks versus 13 percent for large-caps.

YIELD AVG. BROKER RATING* 1-YR PRICE CHANGE CLOSE COMPANY 52-WK LOW HIGH Financial stocks have been the strongest performers so far this earnings reporting season. Analysts expect financials in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index to report 19.1 percent growth in second-quarter earnings per share from a year earlier. That’s the most out of the 10 sectors that make up the index, and it’s well above the 3.6 percent growth expected from the overall S&P 500, according to S&P Capital IQ. Not only that, the trend has been for financial companies to report even stronger growth than analysts expected. Goldman Sachs (GS), for example, said that its earnings per share more than doubled to $3.70, blowing past forecasts for $2.83. This screen shows the financial stocks in the S&P 500 that analysts are most optimistic about. Among them are real estate owners, such as American Tower (AMT), which leases antenna space to mobile-phone companies. To be sure, analysts still see challenges for the group. Revenue growth has been modest: Analysts expect it to slow 0.3 percent in the third quarter from 8.1 percent in the second quarter. The recent climb in mortgage rates could also mean fewer refinancing deals for banks.

Today, based in Manhattan, I’m an insurance giant with other businesses, raking in more than $14 billion annually and sporting a single-letter ticker symbol on the stock exchange. I have five principal sub- sidiaries: CNA Financial Corp., Diamond Offshore Drilling, HighMount Exploration and Production, Boardwalk Pipeline Partners, and a hotel-and- resort business that bears my name. Focusing on value investing, I have trounced the S&P 500’s returns over the past 50 years. Who amI? Know the answer? Send it to us with Foolish Trivia on the top and you’ll be entered into a drawing for a nifty prize! (4) Turn hobbies into incomes. Is there some activity you enjoy that can generate extra money for you now or in retirement? Earning more now (perhaps by teaching, writing, or even working a few hours at Home Depot) could increase your savings and move up your retire- ment date. Having a part-time job in retirement also offers benefits. (5) Run the numbers. You may be eager to retire, but can you afford to? Learn what you’ll need to retire by consulting a pro or using online calculators. Visit fool.com/calcs/ calculators.htm or aarp.org/work/ retirement-planning, for example. (6) Allocate your assets. Any good retirement plan involves deciding how much you’ll have in stocks, bonds, real estate and cash, and how often you’ll adjust your mix. Saving money is critical, but so is where you put that money. Your asset allocation has a huge impact on your portfolio’s ability to support your retirement.

The Motley Fool Take Copper and Energy, Anyone? When the stock price of the world’s largest publicly traded copper producer falls by about a third over five years, it’s worth tak- ing a closer look. The company is Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold (NYSE: FCX), and part of its problem has been the price of cop- per, which has dropped from around $3.70 per pound at the start of the year to $3.16 recently. (Gold, too, is down, falling more than 25 percent in the first half of 2013.) The company is not just focused on copper, gold and other metals, though. Last year it bought McMo- Ran Exploration and Plains Explo- ration & Production, adding oil and natural gas assets to its portfolio. Investor opinions are mixed on the move, but it does diversify operations. Still, it’s much more a copper company than an oil company. On the plus side, lower copper prices are expected to be offset by antici- pated improvement in the ore grade coming out of the Grasberg mine in Indonesia this year and next, which should lower the company’s average production cost per pound. The decline in the share price for this miner is a promising opportunity. Copper is still one of the most highly used metals, and the long-term- demand trend is upward. Consider buying into the company or adding it to your watch list, perhaps while keeping an eye on the integration and performance of the oil business. The Motley Fool ® To Educate, Amuse & Enrich Ask the Fool My Smartest Investment Taking Responsibility I’ve made many smart invest- ments, such as a 450 percent gain in three years — along with bad ones, such as a 100 percent loss in three days. Along the way I learned discipline, how to be calm under fire and to have respect for others. Discipline has allowed me to let my children learn tough lessons, even when my love for them had me yearning to bail them out, which would have robbed them of a chance to learn lessons in an inexpensive setting. Respect for others is a no-brainer, but many of us lack it. Arrogance and racism show a lack of respect for others — and are wrong. I also learned to be responsible for myself — socially, spiritu- ally, physically and financially. When I became disabled and no one would sell me health insur- ance, the Veterans Administration gave me coverage — because I’d served my country. That was by far my best investment. — K.B., Oreana, Ill. The Fool Responds: There isn’t much we can add to that.

I used to also own Cinnabon, Seattle’s Best Coffee and Church’s Chicken, but sold them off as I paid down debt and focused more intently on my flagship brand.

Cheap and Easy Q I’m a beginning investor and have heard that when it comes to mutual funds, I shouldn’t bother with anything but a low-cost index fund. Is that right? — V.E., Salisbury, Md. A For most people, a broad- market index fund is perfect. An S&P 500 fund will instantly have you invested in 500 of Amer- ica’s biggest companies. (Many of them have substantial overseas operations, too, giving you valu- able international exposure.) You can go even broader with some- thing like Vanguard’s Total Stock Market Index, which also includes smaller and medium-sized compa- nies, or the Vanguard Total World Stock Index. Seek index funds with low fees, such as ones from Vanguard, Fidelity, Schwab and others. They often charge less than 0.25 percent annually. If you want to try to beat the market, you might put some of your money into a few top-notch managed mutual funds, or invest in a few carefully chosen individ- ual stocks. Index funds, though, are the easiest and can get you close to the market’s return, which is great for those without the time, inter- est or expertise to study funds and stocks.

A Americans are used to ordinary inflation, with our prices tending to rise by around 2 percent to 4 percent each year. Some countries have experienced hyperinflation, though, where prices can double in a few days — or hours! Just a few years ago, for example, Zimbabwe experienced the chaos of hyperinflation, with prices doubling in the time it might take you to read this newspaper page.

For 2013, the annual contribution limit for 401(k), 403(b) and 457 plans is $17,500 (plus an additional $5,500 “catch- up” contribution for those 50 or older), and IRAs can now absorb $5,500 per year ($6,500 for those 50 or older). Increasing what you contribute each year by $1,000 is just $83 a month but can add up to nearly $50,000 over 20 years and $125,000 over 30 years (assuming an 8 percent annual return). (2) Consume less. Cut out just $30 per month (a dollar a day) and add that money to your savings — growing at just 7 percent, it would top $30,000 in 30 years. Growing at the stock market’s long-term aver- age of about 10 percent, it would approach $60,000. (3) Rein in debt. Your assets need to grow faster than your liabilities. Eliminating high-interest debt should be a top priority. ©2013 THE MOTLEY FOOL/DIST. BY UNIVERSAL UCLICK 7/18 Best Buy bets big on store-within-store concepts THOMAS LEE Star Tribune (Minneapolis) The sign outside the big box in Richfield, Minn., says Best Buy, but the inside of the building looks more like a mall than a single store. The usual Blue Shirts and Geek Squad agents scurry across the sales floor, but Samsung, Microsoft, Pacific Kitchen and Magnolia occupy their own domains within Best Buy. They have large product displays, dedi- cated checkout areas, and employees wearing shirts that are distinctively not blue. Best Buy stores are becoming more complex these days as CEO Hubert Joly has aggressively pursued a “store-within-a-store” concept more common among department stores and Asian retailers. “Best Buy is really hustling to find its strategic way forward,” said Robin Lewis, CEO of the Robin Report, a newsletter that tracks the retail industry. The benefits are clear: Higher sales of popular brands plus the rent Samsung and others pay to Best Buy Co. Inc. equals higher revenue for the consumer electronics retailer. It’s a formula Best Buy appears willing to replicate with other manufacturers. “We’re always working with our vendors to find new ways to provide the best shopping experience for our customers,” said Best Buy spokes- woman Carly Morris. But in reality, the concept is untest- ed. Does ceding space to Samsung and Microsoft drive additional traf- fic and sales throughout the entire store? Will a Samsung employee real- ly give up a potential sale if a shop- per visiting the Samsung Experience shop can’t decide between a Galaxy smartphone or an iPhone 5? Best Buy, after all, has portrayed itself as the retailer whose highly trained Blue Shirts offer customers knowledgeable and unbiased advice on products that best suit their needs. On a larger level, Best Buy runs the risk of eclipsing the brand that matters the most: Best Buy. “It’s a fine line,” said Brian Kelly, a Chicago-based retail consultant and a former top executive at Sears and Eddie Bauer. “They’ve got to make sure Best Buy is the brand of choice for customers. Going overboard with store-within-a-store could diminish the power of the (Best Buy) brand.” One of Joly’s top priorities as he restructures Best Buy is to boost sales by redesigning store space. Specifically, he wants stores to stock higher-growth products that could boost sales per square foot, the ulti- mate measure of a retailer’s health. That’s where store-within-a-store concepts come in handy. Microsoft and Samsung are essentially leasing their spaces from Best Buy and each manufacturer controls their own pric- ing and merchandise decisions. That frees up Best Buy to concentrate on areas of the store, but it also benefits from Samsung and Microsoft’s invest- ments in terms of sales and rent. “It’s a weird kind of win-win” for the retailer and vendor, said Jeff Green, a Phoenix-based retail con- sultant. Microsoft and Samsung pro- mote their brands without having to operate a full scale store. For Best Buy, “it’s a way for them to get away from all of that square footage.” Morris, the company spokeswom- an, declined to disclose the financial terms of its deals with Samsung and Microsoft except to say that Best Buy made “joint investments” with Microsoft in training, in-store setup, and marketing. But research suggests that stores within a store don’t just occupy space. A study by marketing profes- sors at the University of Pennsylvania and Carnegie Mellon say the concept can boost sales of high-value prod- ucts that require a degree of service and can’t easily be found somewhere else in the store. For example, Pacific Kitchen, an upscale appliance chain purchased by Best Buy in 2006, trains its own sales force, which seems to be paying off with several quarters of double-dig- it gains in appliance sales at stores open for at least a year. “These efforts to partner with ven- dors should improve service levels, secure access to the latest and great- est products, and keep more custom- ers purchasing at Best Buy,” Gary Balter, a retail analyst with Credit Suisse, wrote in a recent research report. Should, however, doesn’t necessar- ily mean will. Analysts like to say Samsung and Microsoft stores will bring buzz to Best Buy but whether that translates to additional sales throughout the store is far from clear. Investors measure the value of a retailer in two ways: sales per square foot and customer traffic. Best Buy generates a seemingly robust $852 per square foot, compared to $303 for Target and $140 for J.C. Penney. But fewer people are visiting Best Buy stores, which means that $852 figure is likely to continue to fall unless the company can somehow reverse that trend. “Best Buy needs to change those traffic patterns,” said Michael Dart, who oversees private equity and strategy practice at Kurt Salmon. If executed well, a store-within-a- store concept can significantly boost the market value of a retailer if its overall sales and traffic go up, not just Samsung or Microsoft’s numbers, he said. For example, someone who pur- chases a Galaxy tablet might buy an accessory elsewhere in the store. Of course, much of that depends on the strength of the brands that oper- ate those stores within a store. With its popular Galaxy family of smart- phones, Samsung has emerged as the technology maker du jour, a company that can truly challenge Apple’s dom- inance in mobile devices. The day Best Buy announced the Samsung partnership in early April, Best Buy’s stock soared 16 percent. The Microsoft stores, which launched this month, are more of a head scratcher, said Green, the retail consultant. At 2,200 square feet, the largest Microsoft store in Best Buy is about seven times larger than the aver- age Samsung shop. Unlike Samsung, which is a pure hardware business, Microsoft mostly makes software, and sales of its latest Windows 8 operating system has been a major disappointment. Microsoft does operate its own stand-alone stores, including one at the Mall of America, but they are very small compared to the Apple Store, both in numbers and sales. So, it’s hard to image the Microsoft store giving Best Buy much of a lift, Green said. Still, the technology business is fickle; the hottest company can sud- denly become the uncoolest and vice versa in a blink of an eye, analysts say. Unlike Microsoft, whose concept can be found in 500 Best Buy stores in the United States, the Samsung store will be in all 1,000 or so Best Buy stores across the country. Should Samsung hit rough times, it would be very hard for Best Buy to untangle itself from the Samsung shops, analysts say. But given Samsung’s soaring popularity, “this is the best riskiest move you can do,” Dart said.

Emmys, online shows may take a big leapThursday LYNN ELBER APTelevision Writer LOS ANGELES — If Netflix’s “House of Cards” and “Arrested Development” on Thursday become the first online con- tenders to nab top Emmy nominations, it will be a breakthrough moment for shows making a splash without the aid of a TV set. If not, it’s just a matter of time before the inevitable happens. The video universe that once meant simply broad- cast television, then added cable and satellite, has splintered again to encom- pass websites including YouTube and streaming services including Netflix and Amazon. The expansion was rec- ognized in 2008 by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences with a rules change that added the Internet as an eligible Emmy platform. As with broadcast networks and other video distributors, programs must reach more than half of the U.S. audi- ence to make the cut. When the Emmy nods are announced early Thursday, a fair number of pundits say clever political drama “House of Cards” and “Arrested Development,” the offbeat sitcom resur- rected by Netflix after it was dumped by Fox, will be in the awards hunt. The series are tagged for possible top drama and comedy bids, with “House of Cards” stars Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright and “Arrested Development” cast mem- bers including Jason Bateman, Jeffrey Tambor and Jessica Walter seen as contenders for acting nomi- nations. There have been Internet nominees before, such as last year’s “Web Therapy” and “30 Rock: The Webisodes” in a short- format category, but not in the premier fields of acting and best series. Online shows compet- ing with Emmy champs “Breaking Bad” and “Modern Family” will be the 21st- century version of the watershed 1990s showings by HBO’s “The Larry Sanders Show, “The Sopranos” and “Sex and the City” in those high- gloss categories. As for this year’s poten- tial game-change, “It cer- tainly is a marker of the new era. … It will send shock waves through the industry,” said Tim Brooks, a former network execu- tive and TV historian who co-wrote “The Complete Directory to Prime Time Network and Cable TV Shows.” The Emmys rarely pro- vide a ratings boost akin to the box-office advantage that can be conferred by Oscar or Tony honors, but Brooks said they are mean- ingful to industry insiders. “It makes it acceptable for A-list creatives to work for you. They like awards and the acclaim of their fellows,” he said. Good pro- gramming thus begets more good programming and, for services like Netflix, poten- tially more revenue-produc- ing subscribers. 339 HigHway 315, Pittston, Pa 1-800-223-1111 Hours: Monday-Friday 9-8pm; saturday 9-5pm ® $ 199 Per MontH For 24 MontHs 3 complimentary payments $ 399 Per MontH For 24 MontHs 3 complimentary payments *24 month lease with 10k miles per year on a new2013 Volvo s60 t5 sedan.

On the one hand, the Yankee super- star drew a healthy crowd to the new PNC Field, a welcome boost to what had become a less-than-stellar minor league franchise freshly wooed to stay in the area with an expensive new sta- dium. On the other hand, Alex Rodriguez is a self-admitted doper, acknowledg- ing steroid use during his days with the Texas Rangers. He was also a patient of Anthony Galea, a Canadian sports physician who pleaded guilty in 2011 in a U.S. court to bringing unapproved drugs into the United States. And there is increased media buzz that Rodriguez faces a potential (and lengthy) suspension for his ties to Anthony Bosch and Biogenesis, a defunct Florida clinic that allegedly gave performance-enhancing drugs to athletes. So A-Rod arrives and, what? He’s good for business but bad for role mod- eling? There are those who have roundly chastised Rodriguez for his acknowl- edged steroid use, offering no quarter for redemption. There are others who sing his praises while glibly gliding around his flaws. Might there be a middle ground? Yes, Rodriguez has admitted ste- roid enhancement, and yes he may be proven to be a chronic cheat rather than a recovering user, but until all the facts are out, is it so unreasonable to give him his shot at atonement? Isn’t America founded on the principal of second chances? On the other hand, can mega-fans please remove their blinders? “He’s a good player,” one supporter said at Thursday’s game at PNC Fields, “I admire him for being a good player” — a statement that dismisses the equa- tion: Cheating equals better playing. “It does bother me,” another said, “but it’s like that for a lot of players. He’s just one of the many.” Right … and how many wrongs does it take to make them all right? “There’s no proof,” a third opined, “He’s not convicted of anything I know of.” True, he’s not a convicted cheat, just an admitted cheat. It’s not the support of A-Rod that nettles; it’s the uncritical support. One fan summed it up with the cliche “Who am I to judge.” You are a fan, and the maxim is sim- ple: Cheating will be tolerated as long as fans tolerate it. Our OpiniOn: SpOrTS STArS The mixed message of Alex Rodriguez FOUR WORDS of advice for African- Americans in the wake of George Zimmerman’s acquittal: Wake the hell up. The Sunday after Zimmerman went free was a day of protest for many of us. From Biscayne Boulevard in Miami to Leimert Park in Los Angeles, to the Daley Center in Chicago to Times Square in New York City, African- Americans — and oth- ers who believe in racial justice — carried out angry, but mostly peaceful demonstra- tions. Good. This is as it should have been. But if that’s the end, if you just get it out of your system, then move ahead with business as usual, then all you did Sunday was waste your time. You might as well have stayed home. We are living in a perilous era for African-American freedom. The paral- lels to other eras have become too stark to ignore. Every period of African-American advance has always been met by a crushing period of push back, the crafting of laws and the use of vio- lence with the intent of eroding the new freedoms. Look it up: The 13th Amendment ended slav- ery. So the white South created a con- vict leasing system that was actually harsher. The 14th Amendment guaranteed citizenship. So the white South ren- dered that citizenship meaningless with the imposition of Jim Crow laws. The 15th Amendment gave us the right to vote; it was taken away by the so-called “grandfather clause.” The Supreme Court struck that down, so the white South relied on literacy tests and poll taxes to snatch our bal- lots all over again. Our history is a litany: two steps forward, one step back. The Civil Rights Movement was the greatest step forward since emancipa- tion. So we ought not be surprised to see voting rights eroded again, the Civil Rights Act attacked, the so-called “War on Drugs” used for the mass incarceration of black men. Or to see the killing of an unarmed child deliver a message as old as the Constitution itself: black life is worth less. We are in another period of push back. And worse, we don’t even seem to know. It feels as if we have taken the great advances of the last half century — the protective laws, the rise of the black middle class, the winning of the ballot, the flowering of options once considered unthinkable — for granted. It feels as if we have come to regard progress as somehow inevi- table, preordained, carved in stone, and irrevocable as a birthright. So yes, we need to wake the hell up. While we were celebrating, others were calculating. While we were writing nasty rap lyrics, they were writing senators. While we were organizing Obama victory parties, they were organizing tea parties. While we were buying DVDs, they were buying candidates. While we were sending texts, they were building propaganda machinery. While we were resting on the past, they were seizing the future. Granted, the preceding casts a wide net. Yes, there are many of us, African- Americans and others, who don’t need the admonition, who are already awake, who have always been awake. More power to them. But there are also many of us still sleeping. So let Trayvon Martin’s death and the acquittal of his killer be a wake-up call. Let it be a spur to stop reacting and start pro-acting. Let it be a goad to become better informed. Let it be a reminder to organize. Let it be a reason to send a check to the NAACP. Let it be an incentive to join the social justice ministry at church. Let it be cause to write your congress- person. Let it be an impetus to teach and nurture your kids. Most of all, let it be an alarm clock, ringing in the darkness of a new morning, calling conscience to account. Do not waste this moment. The time for sleeping is done.

Main St., Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711 THIS IS the time of year colleges typically reveal their tuition rate hikes for the coming school year. Technically, it’s the time they announce their tuition rates for the coming school year — but have you ever seen them go down? No, it’s always up, up up. How high can they go? Well, Penn State trustees last week approved a 3.39 percent tuition increase for in-state undergraduates at the University Park campus, which comes to $264 extra per semes- ter and a total of $16,090 per year. The cumulative effect of years of tuition increases means the grand total for a year at Penn State’s main cam- pus, including tuition, room and board and various fees is — brace yourself — $26,362. Penn State is a state-related school, not state-owned, but the public schools’ tuition also are regularly ticking up. For the 14 public schools that are part of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education, tuition will increase by 3 percent for the next aca- demic year. The $194 increase puts the tuition for a full-time, in-state undergrad at $6,622. That’s not including room, board, fees and books. For the past 10 years, tuition hikes in the state system have ranged from 2 percent to 4.5 percent, except in 2011- 12, which saw a 7.5 increase because of massive cuts in state funding. The colleges blame inadequate state funding and an increase in operating costs for the tuition increases, but that probably matters little to students and parents. The only thing that matters is that costs are going up. Again. The result is it’s becoming harder and harder for students to afford a col- lege education, and more and more are taking out loans to help cover the costs. According to a Fidelity Investments survey, 70 percent of the class of 2013 graduated with debt, averaging $35,200. That’s a massive burden to shoulder before stu- dents even have landed a job — and that alone is a tall order in this economy. What’s Congress doing to help make college more affordable? Nothing. In fact, it’s doing just the opposite. Earlier this month, Congress failed to act and, as a result, allowed the interest rate on feder- ally subsidized Stafford Loans to double, from 3.4 percent to 6.8 per- cent. The increase will tack on an extra $2,600 to the average bill paid by students, accord- ing to Congress’ Joint Economic Committee. Lawmakers say they hope to reach a deal to retroactively lower the rates, but Congress’ track record doesn’t exactly make us optimistic. Sure, the added interest isn’t much compared to all of the other rising costs associated with college. But every little bit hurts these days. The York Dispatch OTHEr OpiniOn: TuiTiOn The cost of college: Every little bit hurts Leonard pitts Jr. Contributing Columnist African-Americans: Wake the hell up THE UNITED States is becoming a dysfunctional country: politically, it’s lurching from one embarrassment to the next, but economically and tech- nologically, it’s rising at an amazing speed. That’s one of the first things that came to my mind when I read a new report by Merrill Lynch stating that “an economic revival is taking hold in the United States,” and saw a separate report from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office show- ing that the techno- logical gap between this country and its closest rivals remains as large as ever. To be sure, the United States has egg on its face when it comes to its image abroad. Just when the headlines of former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden’s defection were beginning to fade from the front pages, new Snowden revelations about alleged U.S. electronic surveil- lance operations in Europe and Latin America are riling U.S. friends and foes alike. Even close Washington allies, such as Mexico, Colombia and Chile are demanding explanations — and apolo- gies — from the Obama administra- tion. It’s the biggest U.S. diplomatic fiasco since WikiLeaks’ 2010 disclo- sure of thousands of U.S. diplomatic cables, including some in which high- ranking U.S. officials questioned the mental health of Argentina’s presi- dent, and called then Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi “vain and ineffective.” When it comes to domestic poli- tics, Washington is not doing much better. Congressional gridlock is as bad as ever — the 113th Congress has passed only 15 legislative items during the first six months this year, a historic low — and Democrats and Republicans are unlikely to work more closely as we approach the 2014 mid- term elections. But economically and technologi- cally, it’s an entirely different story. The Dow Jones industrial average and the Standard and Poor’s 500 index of stocks reached all-time highs last week, and the U.S. government reported a $116 billion budget surplus in June, the largest in five years. More importantly, several long-term trends bode well for the U.S. economy. According to the recent Merrill Lynch Wealth Management Report entitled “A transforming world,” the U.S. economic “revival” is due to three factors: a growing energy indepen- dence, an increasingly competitive manufacturing sector and continued technological leadership. After depending on oil imports for almost 70 years, the United States is on its way to achieving energy inde- pendence thanks to the new hydraulic fracturing — or “fracking” — natural gas extraction technology. This energy revolution will expand to all corners of the economy, as U.S. manufactur- ers benefit from lower energy costs, it says. Simultaneously, massive layoffs after the 2008 economic crisis have lowered U.S. labor costs, making U.S. corporations more profitable and man- ufacturing very competitive, it says. Finally, an explosive growth in technological innovation — including robotics, cloud computing and person- alized medicine based on genetic test- ing — will give a further push to the U.S. economy, the report says. A separate report from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office confirms that, when it comes to innovation, the United States remains far ahead of any other country. U.S. companies and individual inventors filed 134,200 patents of new invention at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in 2012, up from 121,300 the previous year, according to the new figures. My opinion: When I travel abroad and somebody asks how the United Sates is doing, I usually respond that it depends how you look at it. Politically, it’s losing ground; economi- cally and technologically, it’s surging. It’s like a creative, hard-working giant with no social skills. You can either laugh at its political embarrass- ments, or marvel at its innovation abil- ity — or both.

WIlCOX/THE TIMES lEADER Alex Rodriguez at PNC Field Thursday. www.timesleader.com THE TIMES LEADER FORUM SunDAy, JuLy 21, 2013 PAGE 7D WASHINGTON — “No justice, no peace” chants the telegenic mob. In a civilized society, however, where the mob doesn’t rule, justice is defined by the verdict that follows a fair trial. It’s the best that humans can do. And in the case of George Zimmerman, we have a verdict. It followed a trial every minute of which was seen by the world. Nothing secret, noth- ing hidden. Where in the trial was there racial bias? What evi- dence of the case being tilted toward the defen- dant because the victim was black? What sign of any racial animus in the jury? Those undeniable realities have not prevented Benjamin Crump, attorney to the victim’s family, from placing Trayvon Martin in the tra- dition of Emmett Till and Medgar Evers. This is a disgrace. Those were race crimes of the most savage and undeniable kind. To compare those to a shooting deemed by an impartial jury after a fair and fully open trial as a case of self-defense is to des- ecrate their memory and to trivialize centuries of real, brutal, bloody race hatred. The injection of race into the story by the media, by irresponsible politicians and by the usual racial entrepreneurs has been poison- ous. President Obama didn’t help when his first reaction to the death of Trayvon Martin was, “If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon,” thereby immediately making skin color a cen- tral issue. Imprudent as was that remark, it is nonetheless understandable given the history of this country and the initial appearance of the incident. At that point, a racial motive was not an implausible assumption, although certainly an unhelpful one coming from the president of the United States — a president who had con- sistently reacted to other killings, such as the Fort Hood massacre of 13 soldiers by a Muslim gunman shouting “Allahu Akbar,” by immedi- ately urging us not to jump to ethnic/ religious conclusions. But that remark about Martin came before the Zimmerman trial. Afterward, the president acted responsibly. “A jury has spoken,” he said, and then used the moment to reflect on other things, such as care for one’s neighbors and concern for one’s community, thus helping dera- cialize the case. In doing so, Obama was follow- ing the overwhelming evidence. A concurrent FBI investigation, which involved interviewing more than 30 of Zimmerman’s acquaintances, found zero evidence of Zimmerman harboring racial animus. Nor did he even mention race when first describing Martin to the police dis- patcher. (Race was elicited only by a subsequent direct question from the dispatcher.) Now, however, there is major pres- sure on the Justice Department to pursue Zimmerman with some kind of federal prosecution. On what possible evidence for what possible crime? A hate crime? Who calls 911 before setting out on a hate crime? “This case has never been about race,” said Angela Corey, one of Zimmerman’s (BEG ITAL) prosecutors(END ITAL). The jury concurred. Regarding the killing, said one juror, “All of us thought race did not play a role.” While Attorney General Eric Holder told the NAACP he would continue to investigate a federal role, that could simply be his way of punting the question to a time when temperatures are lower. Moreover, he made a point of turning his NAACP address into an attack on Stand Your Ground laws, thereby deflecting attention to legislation, which is the proper role of government, and away from continued persecution of a defendant already acquitted, which is not the proper role of government. Further federal prosecution of Zimmerman would fail, humiliat- ingly. Assuming Holder knows that, his focusing on Stand Your Ground would be a deft way to finesse the current frenzy and drain the issue of the race element. If my favorable reading of Holder is correct, then the Zimmerman case will take its historical place as not crime but tragedy. Its unfolding was nearly theatrical: an encounter in the dark of two men, confused, agitated and fearful. This should never have happened and surely Zimmerman’s misjudgments contributed mightily, most grievously his ignoring the dis- patcher’s advice not to follow Martin. Tragedy — but without catharsis. No crime, no punishment. Under law, there’s a difference between mis- judgment and murder (or manslaugh- ter), which the prosecution never came close to proving. Zimmerman will nonetheless carry the taint, the mark, the notoriety of that misjudg- ment — of reckless zeal that led to the needless death of a young man — for the rest of his life. Divine punishment? It’s not for us to judge. All we have is the human kind whose only standard in a civilized society is this: A jury has spoken. Charles Krauthammer’s email address is let-
[email protected]. COMMENTARY Let the jury, not mobs give Zimmerman verdict HE PLAYED to more than 50,000 fans twice in one weekend — in the same building! He sold out Madison Square Garden in a day. There was such madness for his concerts in Australia, that some wanted him deported. Girls screamed with every smile. Fans trampled one another to get near him. That hair! Those eyes! He sold millions of albums. You couldn’t go anywhere in America and not see his face. Justin Bieber … Was not his name. His name was David Cassidy, he once fronted a TV band called the Partridge Family, he was a decent singer with some decent talent, and he constantly wanted to be taken more seriously, even though at one brief point in the 1970s, he was arguably the biggest solo act in the nation. He wound up, as the years passed, in musical theater, milking his dwindling fame overseas, writing autobiographies about being a teenage star and, more recently, doing a stint in rehab. And he’s one of the success stories. So you’ll forgive us if we merely sigh at Justin Bieber and his current delight in acting like, as the Brits might say, a prat — or as TMZ recently chided, “an oblivious, self-important little twit.” It’s not a new story. In case you’ve missed it — and why wouldn’t you? — Bieber, the Canadian teen heartthrob, who is all of 19, has been on a tear of bad behavior. In the last several months, he has thrown F-bombs while threatening photogra- phers, been two hours late for a concert, signed the guest book at Anne Frank’s house in Amsterdam with “hopefully she would have been a Belieber” (one of his obsessive fans), skipped out on a $1,600 bill at a Las Vegas amusement and, most oddly, urinated into a restau- rant mop bucket and then cursed out former President Bill Clinton. This, on top of reckless driving in his Ferrari and a small meltdown at the most recent Billboard Music Awards, where he was booed after being given a major honor. “Basically, from my heart, I really just want to say, it should really be about the music,” he complained at that event. “It should be about the craft that I’m mak- ing, and … this is not a gimmick. This is not a gimmick. I’m an artist, and I should be taken seriously. All this other bull should not be spoken of.” I can’t tell you what “bull” he was referring to, unless it’s his own — or the endless Tweeting he does to 41 million fans. It’s hard to whine over attention when you’re constantly courting it. But I can tell you this: His cry for being taken more seriously has an echo over the years, through acts like Frankie Avalon, the Monkees, Vanilla Ice, Menudo, Donny Osmond, New Kids on the Block and the Jonas Brothers. And in the end, none of it mattered. Gravity took over. Because what most of those perform- ers didn’t understand — and I don’t think Bieber does, either — is that the hysteria isn’t really about them. It’s about being a teenager. At a certain age, swooning over an idol is fun. It makes young girls feel grown up, it gives preteens an entry into the music world, it gives even the loneliest kid a crush — and perhaps, a rush of affection when she gets a Tweet that says, “I love you all.” But kids grow up. They lose interest. They move on. The mind-blowing num- bers that teen stars put up — like the five straight No. 1 albums for Bieber — speak more to the instant and insatiable spending habits of teens than to the art. It’s the reason “Argo” wins the Oscar but “The Avengers” wins the box office. Nobody confuses the two. Yes, now and then there are excep- tions. The Beatles. Elvis. Michael Jackson. Their talent transcended ado- lescence; they remained huge as they aged. But even their numbers fell, and the screaming tamped down. And — at least in the case of Jackson and the Beatles — there was master songwrit- ing and producing. Is there any evidence Bieber is in that category? From what? Songs like “Boyfriend?” He should sit down with Cassidy — or Bobby Brown or Leif Garrett, both of whom were huge teen stars who had major drug and legal troubles as adults. They might tell Bieber to enjoy the ride — with a bigger smile and less attitude. It’s going to end. That’s inevitable. You don’t want it ending in the same kind of bucket he just filled.

Yeager Mountain Top President, Wright Townhip Volunteer Fire department It’s your soul that’s on the line We all like making informed deci- sions, so then why do we shun the facts when it comes to saving our souls? We all know that God and Satan vie for our souls. They are in a competition, and as in any competi- tion only one set of rules are laid down for all participants to follow. God laid down these rules through a covenant he made with Abraham. First through mistranslation, God’s word has been warped. A simple example is the word “alma” meaning young girl, but the scribes of the day thought it meant “virgin” thus creat- ing the persona of “Blessed Virgin Mary;” one untruth found. It does not stop here. Our com- mandments were also tampered with, as in “Thou shalt not kill” is actually “Thou shalt not murder.” The differences are great as one expects us to lay down to be slaugh- tered, and the other tells us, we can protect ourselves and our families. A tactic of Satan’s to tip the tides of war in his favor, if people believe it is wrong to kill even in self pres- ervation. Many contradictions can be found in the words of Jesus to the word of God. The Old Testament tells us that God gives us a description of the one he would send and Christ just doesn’t measure up to God’s statements. The most important is that our Savior will be completely human, descended on his father’s side from the house of King David. He would bring all the Jews back to Israel, bring world peace and unite the world under God. Christ did not fulfill any of these, yet we believe him over God. All Christian bibles have been shortened, by the good intentions of King James, to make it easier for us to read, but in doing so, important and key information has been lost or cast aside, making it easier for Satan to deceive us. Answer these questions and see if you can see the truth. If “Judgement is mine”, sayeth the Lord, how can it belong to Christ and 12 apostles? God’s word states we can only gain heaven by worshipping God alone and obeying his commandments, Christ claims we can only gain Heaven through him. Who lies here? God is Honorable and does not ever lie, so why do we believe Jesus over God? The meaning of the word “I” is one, and is very singular, so why do we follow Christ’s mean- ing of three? God states “I am the Lord thy God, thou shalt not have strange God’s before me, does not mean the Father, son, and the holy spirit. To disobey God’s First Commandment, makes us traitors to God and all of Heaven. God also gave us a description of what to watch out for: “Beware of demons who come as angles of light, performing miracles in my name to lead you astray.” This is the only biblical descrip- tion of Jesus I found in God’s word. Satan had a thousand years to fool and trick us, but I believe his time ended on Dec., 21, 2012, and if I am right, Armagedeon cannot be far behind. What it boils down to is this one thing: Who will you put your faith and trust in, the word of God or the words of Christ. It’s only your soul on the line. Cindy Krzywicki Wilkes-Barre She’s big on Bingo surviving in Pa. I’m not even 60 years old, but I and my cousins get together when we can to play Bingo. Our favorite place to go is the Turning Stone Casino & Resort in New York (outside of Syracuse) where Bingo tournaments go on each morning and evening. It is always a packed house. The problem here in Pennsylvania is the antiquated law regarding Bingo games, stating that they can only be held to benefit nonprofits. Several people have asked Mohegan Sun officials why they can’t have a Bingo hall and give con- tributions to those fire companies or churches that apply for a share of cash they can show they earned over time (before the casinos opened & took their customers). It would be a win-win situation for all if the law in the state could be changed. This way, volunteers wouldn’t be pressed to serve, these churches and fire halls wouldn’t have the expense of supplies, utilities or buying or making snacks that they’ll make pennies on. The casinos in Pennsylvania can run it so much more efficiently. It’s the laws of our commonwealth that need to change. Lawmakers should make a trip to this casino in New York and see how well Bingo works and how profitable it still is. Bingo can and should survive in Pennsylvania. Mary Ellen Wrwine Swoyersville Push bill forward to curb speeding Speeding kills ! Couple this with DUI, texting and talking on the phone and you have a lethal combi- nation that not only affects the driv- er, but also, and more importantly, innocent victims. As long as these unrestricted drivers can speed and get away with it, they’ll continue their dangerous ways and the deaths on our roads will continue to rise. So what’s the answer ? Currently, House Bill 38 is bouncing around Harrisburg. It’s a bill that would allow local governments to use radar to control speeding. Pennsylvania is one of a few states that doesn’t have such a law. So, what’s the problem with get- ting it done ? Well, some politicians think it’ll encourage these local gov- ernments to abuse the use of radar to make money. Of course, they can’t come up with some common sense legislation to prevent that, can they ? It’s time to move forward on this bill and I encourage all elected officials, police chiefs, the public and our representatives in Harrisburg to support it l00 percent. Or, they can just “sit on their hands” and let more people get slaughtered. Don Casterline Hanover Twp. YOuR OpiNiON: lETTERs FROM REAdERs Justin (Bucket) Bieber needs a little splash of reality Mitch Albom Contributing Columnist PAGE 8D SUNDAY, JULY 21, 2013 PERSPECTIVES www.timesleader.com THE TIMES LEADER COMMENTARY Helping to solve the fnancial aid issue for college students The federal government will continue to be dogged by questions about its com- mitment to those seeking a college education whether or not it acts to restore the student loan rate to 3.4 percent after inaction in Congress doubled it recently. Since the mid-l960s, sub- sidized student loans have been one of the mainstays for financing a college edu- cation. The federal govern- ment has helped countless Americans obtain a college education, starting with the Morrill Act of 1862 that established various land- grant colleges, through the variations of the GI Bill that enabled millions of veterans go to college, to the Pell grants and Stafford loans of today. These have been and are good public policies. College graduates generally do better for themselves, for their families and their communities. They earn upwards of $1 million more over their lifetime than non- college gradu- ates. They are more apt to participate as community volunteers and cast their ballots at election polls. Plus, they pay more taxes because they earn more money. Simply put, college is a good investment. Student loan debt has become a national issue in recent years. Last year, stu- dent debt surpassed credit card debt as the second larg- est category of outstanding loans next only to mortgag- es. Since aggregate student- loan debt has surpassed $1 trillion, it is understandable why Congress wants to find a long-term solution to this important issue. One novel solution has been advanced in the Oregon legislature that bears some consideration. Oregon’s “Pay it Forward, Pay it Back” plan calls for the creation of a fund which students would draw from to pay for college. Students who participate in the pro- gram pay 2 percent of their annual income back into the special fund for 24 years following their anticipated graduation year. The plan addresses a key issue plaguing student loans today. Repayment of stu- dent loans currently begins six months after graduation. There are two problems with the timing of the repayment plan: Graduates are expected to pay back their loans regardless of their employment circum- stance and their repayment schedules are not based on earnings. Most graduates can find a job, but in a sluggish econo- my it might take two years or more to find a job that launches a career and gener- ates the kind of income that facilitates the repayment of loans. “Pay it Forward, Pay it Back” addresses the ability of graduates to repay loans by extending them over a longer period of time that also is more in tune with future earnings. Families and students that take out loans to help pay for college are in essence investing in them- selves. Just like any invest- ment, a college education has a rate of return (ROI). That ROI grows as an indi- vidual’s income increases. To expect a young gradu- ate to pay back loans at a point in their lives when they are earning much less than they will be in 10 or 15 years does not make sense. Oregon’s plan allows gradu- ates to pay back money bor- rowed from the fund over a period of time when they will be earning more. The plan also bases repayments on income. The more an individual earns the more they pay back into the fund. This progressive – income-based payment sys- tem – is similar to the one used for decades in the U.K. and in Australia. It works well there. At this time, the Oregon plan would be limited to students attending state- owned universities. Michael MacDowell Contributing Columnist COMMENTARY: TRACYWEBER AND CHARLES ORNSTEIN Informyourself about your doctor’s prescribing habits YOUR DOCTOR hands you a prescription for a blood pressure drug. But is it the right one for you? You’re searching for a new primary-care physician or a specialist. Is there a way you can know whether the doc- tor is more partial to expen- sive, brand-name drugs than his peers? Or say you’ve got to find a nursing home for a loved one. Wouldn’t you want to know whether the staff doctor regularly prescribes drugs known to be risky for seniors or overuses psychiatric drugs to sedate residents? For most of us, evaluating a doctor’s prescribing habits is just about impossible. Even doctors themselves have little way of knowing whether their drug choices fall in line with those of their peers. This dearth of knowledge and insight matters for both patients and doctors. Drugs are complicated. Most come with side effects and risk- benefit calculations. What may work for one person may be absolutely inappro- priate, or even harmful, for someone else. Antipsychotics, for exam- ple, are invaluable for treat- ing severe psychiatric condi- tions. But they are too often used to sedate older patients suffering from dementia, despite a “black box” warn- ing accompanying the drugs that they increase the risk of death in such patients. The American Geriatrics Society has also labeled dozens of other drugs risky for elderly patients because they increase the risk of diz- ziness, fainting and falling, among other things. In most cases, safer alternatives exist. Yet the more danger- ous drugs continue to be prescribed for millions of older patients. And, as has been well doc- umented by the Los Angeles Times and others, powerful painkillers are often misused and overprescribed, with sometimes deadly conse- quences. Among the top prescrib- ers of the most-abused painkillers, we found many who had been charged with crimes, convicted, disci- plined by their state medical boards or terminated from state Medicaid programs for the poor. But nearly all remained eligible to pre- scribe for Medicare patients. If you or a loved one were a patient of one of these doc- tors, wouldn’t you want to know this? We have now taken the data and put it into an online database that allows anyone to look up a doctor’s prescribing patterns and see how they compare with those of other doctors. This information is just a start. It can’t tell you wheth- er your doctor is doing something wrong, but it can However, in states like Pennsylvania where there are many more private col- leges and universities, the plan could be used by all institutions regardless of affiliations. It would make sense for all colleges and universities in the state to be covered by a fund similar to “Pay it Forward, Pay it Back” since private institu- tions in the commonwealth graduate more than 48 per- cent of all four-year students and 59 percent of all gradu- ate students. In Oregon, the state will borrow the initial money to fund the program. The pro- cess will initiate a revolving loan fund. The estimated $9 billion needed to start the fund would no doubt meet with the approval of the bond market because stu- dent loan debts are exempt from bankruptcy court declarations, hence the fund would pay investors an assured return. In addition, the fund will collect enough from graduates paying pack into it to continue to pro- vide for new college-bound students in need. Those who attend col- lege, but do not graduate would still have to pay back into the fund. Their repay- ments, however, would be lower because their income might be as well. Today, stu- dents incur the same inter- est rate and – depending on the number of years they were in college – the same monthly payment whether they graduate or not. Clearly, college students are making an investment in themselves and their coun- try by obtaining a degree. It is essential that we find a fiscally sound way to sup- port our next generation of leaders, innovators and entrepreneurs who must borrow to complete their college degrees. With modi- fications for Pennsylvania, the blueprint Oregon has provided makes plenty of sense. Michael A. MacDowell served on Pennsylvania Gov.
