Details, Page 14C WASHINGTON — After weeks of intense partisanship, Republican congressional lead- ers and the White House made a last-minute stab at compromise Saturday to avoid a government default threatened for early next week. But there was no undisputed evidence of progress by day’s end, only expressions of anxiety among lawmakers that a poten- tially crippling blow to the na- tion’s economy was drawing un- comfortably close. The deadline for raising the nation’s debt limit and averting an unprecedented U.S. default was just three days away. “We are nowfully engaged, the speaker and I, with the one per- son in America out of 307 million people who can sign a bill into law,” Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said at a joint news conference with House Speaker John Boehner. “I’m confident and optimistic that we’re going to get an agree- ment in the very near future and resolve this crisis in the best in- terests of the American people.” But McConnell’s upbeat as- sessment triggered an unusually pointed rebuttal fromSenate Ma- jority Leader Harry Reid. “That’s not true,” said the Ne- vada Democrat after returning from a meeting at the White DEF I CI T SHOWDOWN Lawmakers express anxiety about nearing deadline for raising nation’s debt limit Late stab on debt limit fails AP PHOTO President Barack Obama meets with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nev., right, and House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, left, in the Cabinet Roomof the White House, Saturday, in Washington, to discuss the debt.

Some cry foul over municipal controls By MATT HUGHES [email protected] Here’s what you need to get started raising chickens at home: • Chick brooder: A cardboard box or small cage for keeping chicks in their first 60 days of life, lined with wood shavings or newspaper. • Light bulb with reflector: For keeping chicks warm. Chicks should be kept at 90 to 100 degrees until their feathers grow in. • Water dispenser and feeder: Special food is available for chicks and adult chick- ens. Adult chickens will also eat vegetables, bread, insects and a treat called chicken scratch. • Chicken Coop and wire enclosure: The rule of thumb is 2 to 3 square feet per chicken inside the henhouse and 4 to 5 square feet per chicken in an outside run.

POLICE BLOTTER ALLENTOWN—It has been12 years since Pennsylvania executed a convicted killer, but inthat time, deathrowhas still cost taxpayers more than $27 million. Every year, the state Department of Corrections spends an estimated $10,000 more for each inmate on the country’s fourth largest death row com- paredtoother prisoners. That’s despite a de facto halt on capital punishment in Pennsylvania for all but prisoners who voluntarily go to their executions. Thelast personput todeathagainst his will was in1962, half a century ago. The most recent to be executed, in 1999, was Philadelphiatorture-murderer Gary Heidnik — and only because he bowedto it by waiving his appeals. Since then, thestatehashousedonaverage227 inmates a year facing death sentences, for an additional cost of $27.24 million, or $2.27 million annually. And this when executions have ceased. The numbers, providedafter a request by The Morning Call, offer a peek into the expense of a systemin which a death row prisoner is far more likely to die of oldage or illness thanby lethal injection. They represent the added security costs involved with isolating the inmates in prison. But they are just a fractionof cap- ital punishment’stotal cost fortaxpayers, given the staggering legal bills also tied to putting someone to death. The accounting comes as unsteady fi- nances have rocked Pennsylvania and lo- cal governments, causing layoffs and cuts to services that have affected every- thing from safety-net programs for the poor to public schools and higher educa- tion. The Department of Corrections’ budget, at $1.86 billion, re- mained flat this year. The death penalty hasn’t been part of the budget de- bate, though some lawmak- ers sayit shouldbelookedat considering the lack of exe- cutions. Other states have reconsidered capital puni- shment in part over its ex- pense, including New Jer- sey, New Mexico and Illi- nois, which have repealed the deathpenalty inthe past four years. For death-penalty oppo- nents, the price tag under- scores how much society spends in the unreasonable expectation of exactingtheultimatepunishment. For supporters, it shows how a runaway ap- peal process has kept murderers from their deservedfates, thwartingthewill of juries and state lawmakers. “There’s either going to be a retreat on thedeathpenalty, oraneffort toput more of these people to death, depending on the political will,” said Northampton County District Attorney John Morga- nelli, aDemocrat whois avocal backer of capital punishment. “Something’s got to give.” Morganelli blames delays in imposing death sentences on the federal appeals process, whichhe calls a “frustratingsys- tem.” There, cases affirmed by the state courts get scrutinized and often re- versed. He says it may take turnover on the federal bench for executions to start again. Inmates on death row “should have been gone a long time ago, and it wouldn’t becostingthestateall thismon- ey,” Morganelli said. Marc Bookman, a former public de- fender who runs the nonprofit Atlantic Center for Capital RepresentationinPhi- ladelphia, which advises capital defense teams, dubs Pennsylvania’s death penal- ty “the biggest waste of money imagina- ble,” draining away funds that could be better spent on more police officers, im- proving education or building play- grounds and keeping libraries open. He thinksthestateshouldeliminatethecost completely by repealing the deathpenal- ty. “We cannot continue to spend this absurd amount of money and waste these in- credible resources just so that some politician can be tough on crime,” Bookman said. The death penalty “can’t be justified.” Pennsylvania’s modern capital punishment statute dates to 1978, after earlier laws were struck downas un- constitutional in the 1970s. Under it, the death penalty can be imposed by a jury in cases of first-degree murder with at least one aggravating circumstance, such as multi- ple victims, or the killing of a child or a police officer. The alternative is life in prison without parole. About 215 state inmates face death sentences today. Death row inmates are held in three prisons: Greene and Graterford for men, andMuncyfor women. Theyareisolated in separate cells, in the most restrictive conditions the prison system has. For two hours a day they are let out for exer- cise —but alone in a cage. The heightened security, to protect guards and other inmates, is labor inten- sive and pushes up costs, said state cor- rections spokeswoman Susan McNaughton. The inmates require addi- tional staff whenever they are escorted out of their cells, or when they are trans- ported outside of prison for court. The conditions follow the industry standard for death rows in the United States, she added. The Department of Corrections says it costs $33,000 a year for the average pris- oner; with death row, the number reac- hes $43,000. The inmates get televisions, radios and reading materials. They can have one non-contact visitor for one hour a week, and one 15-minute phone call. Be- yond dealings with staff, human interac- tion is sparse: They communicate with other inmates by yelling from their cells or “fishing” bytyinganotetotheendof a string and flinging it to neighboring cells. By comparison, an inmate serving a life sentence is housed in the prison’s general population, where restrictions are raised or lowered based on his or her behavior. There, prisoners usuallyhavea cellmateandcanbebunkedwithasmany as sevenothers indorm-style units. They spend most of their time outside their cells, and are required to work, attend classes or volunteer, McNaughton said. Death row “just requires the strictest of housing available,” McNaughtonsaid. “It goes backtothefact theyarethemost maximumsecurity level we have.” Given the breadth of the appeal proc- ess, the average death row prisoner has beenthere141/2years. Thelongest serv- ing is Mumia Abu-Jamal, under a capital sentence for nearly 28 years for the 1981 murder of a Philadelphia policeman. His legal saga continues, witha federal court in April ordering a newsentencing hear- ing after finding the instructions given his original jury were unclear. The length and contentiousness of ap- peals has critics who include the chief justice of the state Supreme Court, Ro- nald Castille. In a blistering opinion in April, Castille assailedtactics by defense attorneys that he saidaimedto“obstruct capital punishment inPennsylvaniaat all costs.” Defense attorneys for capital cases notethat manyinmatesslatedtodiehave seen their sentences overturned at ap- peal. That includessixmeninPennsylva- nia who were eventually exonerated, ac- cording to the Death Penalty Informa- tion Center, a nonprofit national clearin- ghouse. Since 1983, another 115 death row in- mates have been resentenced to life in prison without parole after appeals. And 12 more wound up with even lesser sen- tences, statistics kept by the state De- partment of Corrections show. In that time, 29 inmates on death row died — 23 from natural causes, three from suicide, and three by execution af- ter they voluntarily abandoned legal challenges to their sentences. Some Pennsylvania legislators are questioningwhether thedeathpenaltyis working as intended. And before he left office in January this year, Gov. Ed Ren- dell, a death penalty supporter and a for- mer Philadelphia district attorney, said that if executions cannot be streamlined, the state should consider whether capi- tal punishment should be repealed. Rarely used Pa. death penalty costly Death row has cost taxpayers more than $27 million since 1999, the last time an execution was carried out.

The Wilkes- Barre man is jailed at the state’s Grat- erford Correctional Institution, facing execution for the Sept. 25, 1982, shooting rampage that killed 13 people in Wilkes-Barre and Jenkins Township. The state Office of Attorney General asked the state Supreme Court in April 2010 to over- turn a Luzerne County judge’s rul- ing that declared mass murderer Ge- orge Banks incompe- tent to be executed. Two area men are currently on death row. George Banks, 68, who was convicted of gunning down 13 people in Wilkes-Barre and Jenkins Township in 1982.

DUNMORE Bank fighting child hunger First National Community Bank and the Commission on Economic Oppor- tunity are working together on a pro- gram to fight child hunger in North- eastern Pennsylvania. During August, the bank will be collecting non-perishable food items and monetary donations at its 21 branches in Lackawanna, Luzerne, Monroe and Wayne counties for CEO’s Backpack Program. The program provides emergency food assistance for children during the weekends or other times when school is not in session. The food is placed in backpacks for students to carry home and removes the stigma a child might experience by carrying home a bag of groceries. The filled backpacks will be provided through local schools, church- es and after-school programs, reducing the delay between parents receiving a referral to a food pantry, getting to the pantry and preparing the food at home. Donations suitable for the program include individual-size items of: grano- la/cereal bars; dry milk powder; in- stant breakfast/oatmeal; fat-free pud- ding; unsweetened apple sauce; Jello with fruit; peanut butter and jelly; 100 percent fruit juice boxes; dried fruit; crackers; canned good; and macaroni and cheese. I N B R I E F Mullery Four Luzerne County post offices are on a list of branches to be reviewed for possible closure or consolidation that was issued last week by the U.S. Postal Service, but that doesn’t mean their fates are sealed. That’s the point Postal Service offi- cials are trying to make days after they released a list of nearly 3,700 post offic- es tobe studiedfor performance andpo- tential closure. The branches are mostly in rural ar- eas but some are in larger cities includ- ing Philadelphia, New York and Chica- go. Locally, they include the Rock Glen and Weston post offices, the only two situated in Black Creek Township; Beach Haven, Salem Township and the one in Cambra, Huntington Township. Post offices in every state but Dela- ware are on the list, but Postal Service officials repeatedly said that inclusion on the list is not a guarantee that a post office will close. And past actions resulting following the release of previous lists bear that out. Raymond Daiutolo Sr., a regional Postal Service spokesman, noted that the postal service announced in Janu- ary it was reviewing 1,400 offices for closing. So far 280 have been closed and 200 have finished the review process and will remain open. Of the remainder, 620 are still in the review process and 300 will move to the new review list.” Daiutolo said the latest list was gen- erated “using some very sophisticated criteria” including sales, foot traffic, lo- cation and proximity to other post offic- es. The list was sent to district officials who are now tasked with conducting a more thorough study on each of the branches. POSTAL SERVI CE Four post office branches in Luzerne County on review list Local offices’ fate not sealed yet By ANDREWM. SEDER [email protected] See POSTAL, Page 6A SCRANTON – Roman Catholics have regained the ability to purchase items from “The Guild” store without making a trip to Scranton, thanks to a new on- line option offered by the 71-year-old purveyor of religious items. The move restores a convenience lost over the last two decades as six branch stores throughout the 11-county Diocese of Scranton were shut down to save mon- ey. “People have asked for this,” store General Manager Trish Morrow said. “We’re basically hoping to make it eas- ier for people to shop if they aren’t able to come to Scranton.” The Guild was established in Scran- ton by Bishop William Hafey in 1940. It offers Catholic books, church goods and religious articles for both clergy and lay- persons. It expanded over the years, moving to a larger Scranton Wyoming Avenue location with 7,500 square feet in 1958, and setting up smaller branch stores in six locations. The last of those branches closed a decade ago, Morrow said. “Hazleton, Carbondale and William- sport locations were closed around 1992,” Morrowsaid, “Wilkes-Barre, Tan- nersville and Allentown were closed in 2001.” The new website, www.shoptheguil- d.org, offers “several thousand items,” Morrow said. A substantial amount, but a far cry from about 65,000 in the Scran- ton store’s database. The plan is to keep adding items to the online outlet. The online option became possible only in the last two years, after the Guild got new computers that could handle the work, Morrow said. Once they were installed, the website had to be built and offerings cataloged onto it. The diocese formally announced the new site in Thursday’s edition of its newspaper, The Catholic Light, but Morrow said the site has been up and running for several weeks. It’s too soon to judge the success, Morrow noted, but she cited national statistics that show the percentage of shopping being done online is growing by double digits. “It’s off to a good start,” she added. Guild offers items for online sale The move allows Roman Catholics to purchase religious items as six branch stores have closed. By MARK GUYDISH [email protected] WYOMING– Rosemary Wyatt’s Les- tor upright piano is probably worth a chunk of change. Manufactured in 1924 by the Lestor Piano Co. of Philadelphia, its antique ivories still sound great. She couldsell it back to the manufac- turer or to a restora- tion company, but then it would leave the area, and she would never know what became of the instrument her daughters grew up playing, andwhichfil- ledher home onMon- ument Street with Christmas carols each December. After having the pi- ano moved to her front porch during a recent carpet installation, Wyatt decid- ed to part with the instrument, but rather than ship it off to an uncertain future, she preferred to sell it face-to- face to someone who might love it as much as she did. Sheput thepianoupfor sale–for any reasonable offer – at the Wyoming Community-wide Yard Sale on Satur- day. “My girls have graduatedandmoved on,” Wyatt said, brushing a tear from her eye. “If someone can love it as much as we did; if someone would play it, I’d be happy with that.” Eachsummer, communityyardsales attract throngs of shoppers seeking bargains like Wyatt’s piano, but they al- so bring residents out to say hi and per- haps tohave a peekat what their neigh- bors have been ferreting away in their attics. “Kudos to Wyoming.

The event held in the parking lot of Chacko’s Bowling Alley included a low cost rabies clinic that offered the vaccination for $10 per cat or dog and a pet beauty contest. All of the proceeds for the event benefit the Feral Cat Neutering Pro- gram, a Luzerne based nonprofit or- ganization devoted to controlling the staggering population of stray cats. The organization works to trap the strays humanely and take them to the program’s surgical facility where the cats are tested for feline leukemia and AIDS and then spayed or neu- tered. The cats are also treated for ear mites and fleas and are given ra- bies vaccinations before being return- ed to their original location in the wild. The bulk of the money raised is dedicated to purchasing the AIDS and leukemia testing, the most costly part of the process.

This year, with the GOP freshly in control of the governor’s office and the House of Representatives, the same Senate majority and its same leaders are broadly viewed as the voice of moderation at a time conservatives are increas- ingly flexing their muscles. “It wouldn’t surprise me to hear them say, ‘We didn’t move an inch. We’re the pole that the rest of them are rotating around and we’re staying where we were and staying the course and stick- ing to principles our caucus be- lieves in,”’ said David Patti, the president and CEO of the Penn- sylvania Business Council, a business advocacy group. It’s all about your perspective. Conservative grumbling this year about the Senate GOP is well-known — if relatively mut- ed since the budget became law a month ago — and their leaders are considered by some Demo- crats and liberal groups to be the most accessible, if not sympa- thetic, in Republican-controlled Harrisburg. For anyone looking for differ- ences between the Senate, the House and the governor, there’s this: Many of the Senate’s 30 members were first elected well before the tea party wave last year helped usher Corbett and 21 House GOP freshmen into of- fice. In fact, the newest Repub- lican senators joined the cham- ber in 2009. Their districts are larger and more diverse than those of House members. And, institu- tionally, they’ve been in the ma- jority for practically three dec- ades, putting them at the nego- tiating table for every budget and major bill as Republican and Demo- cratic governors came and went. Rick Bloomingdale, president of Pennsylva- nia’s AFL-CIO, didn’t want to stick a label on the Senate Republicans, but he said that they’ve learned to listen to all sides of a debate after so many years in leader- ship. “They aren’t at the point where they put ideology above the facts,” Bloomingdale said. “They understand that, in order to govern, you have to respect all opinions.” They’ve also had a few high- profile splits with Corbett or House leaders, if only in rheto- ric. For instance, Senate Presi- dent Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati, R-Jefferson, a few days ago chal- lenged the wisdomof privatizing the state-controlled liquor store system, a top priority of Corbett and House Republican leader Mike Turzai. Senate Republicans, including one of its foremost conserva- tives, Blair County’s John Eichel- berger, reject the suggestion that they are any less conservative than Corbett or the House. The chamber’s Republican leader, Sen. Dominic Pileggi of Delaware County, said that con- clusion flatly doesn’t fit the re- sults of legislative activity over the last six months. “I think the facts actually ar- gue in the opposite direction,” Pileggi said. Several key Republican prior- ities became law with the sup- port of the Senate GOP. Those included a budget that cut spending and did not raise taxes, as well as bills to expand a per- son’s right to use deadly force in self-defense; expand the author- ity of the Corbett administration to make changes to programs for the poor and disabled; and scale back the liability of some civil court defendants in negligence cases, the top priority of busi- ness advocates. Still, Senate Republi- cans pressed for more money in a budget that slashed about $1.1 bil- lion frompublic schools and universities and passed without a single Democrat in support. And with Republicans looking to toughen reg- ulations governing abortion clinics, the Senate passed a bill that was less stringent than a bill that passed the House, although each bill won nearly half of the Democrats’ votes. Kevin Harley, a spokesman for Corbett, said Senate Republi- cans have helped the governor pursue his top priority: creating an environment in which busi- nesses and payrolls can grow. “The governor is interested in results,” Harley said. “He’s not interested in labels.” For now, it remains to be seen whether more key Corbett prior- ities — such as privatizing li- quor stores and creating a sys- tem of taxpayer-paid vouchers to send children to private schools —can get through the Senate or, for that matter, the House. One conservative, Lowman Henry of the Harrisburg-based Lincoln Institute of Public Opin- ion Research, said he has more confidence in Corbett and House GOP leaders. Sen. Daylin Leach, a Mont- gomery County Democrat who leads a political action commit- tee devoted to electing more Democrats to state Senate, said many of his GOP colleagues pri- vately are uncomfortable with the conservative streak they see in House leaders and Corbett. Corbett “was fortunate to be a Republican running in a Repub- lican year, good for him, but I think you make a big mistake if you think, ‘Well, I’m a Republi- can and I’ve been elected and therefore people want me to en- act the most extreme planks of the Republican platform,”’ Leach said. View of GOP senators is shifting Many Senate members were first elected before the tea party wave last year.

OSLO, NORWAY Suspect eyed other targets T he anti-Muslim extremist who confessed to a bombing and youth camp massacre that killed 77 people in Norway has told investigators he also considered attacking other targets linked to the government or the prime minister’s Labor Party, police said Saturday. During a 10-hour questioning session on Friday, Anders Behring Breivik asked interrogators how many people he had killed in the July 22 attacks, and “showed no emotion” when they told him, police attorney Paal-Fredrik Hjort Kraby told reporters in Oslo. The 32-year-old Norwegian has con- fessed to setting off a car bomb that killed eight people in downtown Oslo and then gunning down scores of youth from the left-leaning Labor Party at their annual retreat on an island north- west of the capital. Sixy-nine of them died. CAIRO, EGYPT Venue change for trial Hosni Mubarak’s trial on charges he ordered the killing of protesters during Egypt’s uprising will be held at a police academy on Cairo’s outskirts instead of a convention center in the heart of the capital, the head of Cairo’s appeals court said Saturday. The change appears to be linked to concerns over security during the oust- ed leader’s trial, which is scheduled to begin Wednesday and is sure to draw a large audience. The 83-year-old ex- president is to stand trial alongside his security chief and six other senior security officials facing the same charg- es stemming from the crackdown that killed hundreds but failed to stop the 18-day uprising that forced Mubarak from power on Feb. 11. BARLING, ARK. Rink victims mourned Four siblings killed in a shooting rampage at a Texas roller rink were remembered Saturday as a part of a tight-knit family, even as the hundreds gathered in an Arkansas church to mourn them tried to make sense of the tragedy. More than 400 people attended a service for Trini Do, 29, her sisters, Lynn Ta, 16, and Michelle Ta, 28, and her brother, Hien Ta, 21. Trini Do’s estranged husband, Tan Do, 35, shot her and her siblings during a birthday party for their 11-year-old son and then killed himself. Police in Grand Prairie, Texas, have said they believe the shooting was planned and followed years of domestic violence. Trini Do received a protective order in December against her hus- band, but she had it withdrawn earlier this year against a prosecutor’s advice and wanted to give him another chance, an aunt has said. BATON ROUGE, LA. Dad sleeps while son drives Louisiana state police say an 8-year- old boy was driving a pickup truck down an interstate while his drunken father slept in the passenger seat. Troopers say the man’s 4-year-old daughter was in the back seat when the truck was stopped Saturday morning in Livingston Parish. The child’s driving was so erratic that it alarmed motori- sts, who called authorities. The children have been handed over to Louisiana Child Protective Services. The father, 28-year-old Billy Joe Madden of Hattiesburg, Miss., was booked into the Livingston Parish Jail on charges including Child Desertion and Allowing a Minor to Drive. It was not clear Saturday afternoon if he had an attorney.

GEORGETOWN, Guyana — Flight 523 from New York had just touched down and passen- gers were applauding the pi- lot’s landing in the South American country Saturday when something suddenly went wrong. The Boeing 737-800 slid off the end of a rainy runway, crashed through a chain-link fence and broke in half just short of a deep ravine. Yet all 163 people on board survived. Officials were starting to probe the cause of the crash even as they marveled at the lack of fatalities. “We must be the luckiest country and luckiest set of people in the world to escape so lightly,” said Health Minis- ter Leslie Ramsammy, who said more than 30 people were taken to the hospital. Only three of those had to be admit- ted for a broken leg, bumps, cuts and bruises. The Caribbean Airlines plane had left John F. Kennedy International Airport Friday evening and made a stop in Trinidad before landing in Guyana. The airline said it was carrying 157 passengers and six crew members. Geeta Ramsingh, 41, of Phi- ladelphia, recalled how ap- plause at the arrival quickly “turned to screams.” “The plane sped up as if at- tempting to take off again. It is then that I smelled gas in the cabin and people started to shout and holler,” she said. The plane came to rest off the end of the 7,400-foot run- way at Cheddi Jagan Interna- tional Airport, which sits on a ridge in forested region just south of the oceanfront capital of nearly 300,000 people.

KILLEEN, Texas — Ultimate- ly, it was the keen eye of a Texas gun shop clerk that helped au- thorities find an AWOL soldier who’d stashed bomb-making ma- terial in his nearby motel room for a plannedattackonFort Hood soldiers. The tip that led Killeen police to Pfc. Naser Abdo on Wednes- day prevented what could have been the second terrorist attack on the Army post, following a 2009 shooting rampage in which an Army psychiatrist is charged with killing 13 people. Earlier this year in Texas, a shipping company that told the FBI about a suspicious order for a chemical explosive foiledanallegedplot to blowupformer President George W. Bush’s Dallas home. “A vigilant public and in- formed local law enforcement make it much more complicated for people wishingtocarryout at- tacks to do so,” said John Cohen, principal deputy counterterror- ism adviser at the Homeland Se- curity Department. Federal and local law enforce- ment agencies have established programs over the past decade that encourage the public to re- port suspicious activity. Abdo, 21, who went absent without leave from Fort Camp- bell, Ky., early this month, was ar- rested Wednesday at a motel out- side Fort Hood and charged with possession of an unregistered de- structive device. Police say he was perhaps onlyadayawayfrom unleashing bombs in a restaurant frequented by soldiers and at- tacking the Army post.

By JAMIE STENGLE Associated Press WASHINGTON—Five months after President Barack Obama told him to leave Libya, Moammar Gadhafi is press- ing on against NATO-backed rebel forces, flaunting his remaining power in the face of Western nations fearful of combatting himwith greater force. And four months after Obama offeredSyria’s leader an ultimatum to lead reform or leave, Bashar Assad’s crackdown on dis- sent rages on. Through intervention or engage- ment, the U.S. is stuck with inconclu- sive results in both countries. The un- clear endgame in each is constraining the actions of everyone involved — in- cluding the United States. Coming out with guns blazing failed to deliver an early knockout punch to Gadhafi. Engagement has proved simi- larly ineffectual directed toward Assad. Libya’s war has become a quagmire. For the U.S., policy options are limit- ed. It has already played its military card, leading the early stages of NATO’s intervention by bombing Gadhafi’s air defense capabilities. In Syria, the president and Secretary of StateHillaryRodhamClinton’s rheto- ric has dismissed any lingering hopes that Assad’s government might be per- suaded to start a serious democratic re- form process and pull back an aggres- sive nationwide campaign to snuff out dissent.

By BRADLEY KLAPPER Associated Press MAI-AINI, Ethiopia —As the world fo- cuses on famine in Somalia, Eritrea suf- fers in silence. Eritrea, a nation of 5 million people that borders Sudan, Ethiopia and Djibou- ti, has also seen failed rains and wide- spread food shortages. But its autocratic government, which faces international sanctions, refuses to acknowledge a drought has swept its territory. Satellite images showthat the Red Sea nation has been hit by drought conditions similar to those in Somalia, Ethiopia and Djibouti. Nearly1,000Eritreans arrivedat a refu- gee camp in northern Ethiopia in July alone, officials said. U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, Johnnie Carson, said last week that many of the Eritrean refugees crossingborders intoSudanandEthiopia suffer frommalnutrition. Heurgedthere- clusive Eritrean regime, led by longtime President Isaias Afwerki, to address the hunger and work with humanitarian or- ganizations to prevent catastrophe. Over the last few years, more than 48,000 Eritreans have fled to Ethiopia. Refugees said their families haven’t been able to buy food from the govern- ment for the last three months and that food prices have spiraled.

He said customers served by the branches that are on the re- view list will be asked for input throughout the entire process. He said questionnaires will be left in the branches and public hearings will take place. “We did this to make sure these stations and branches are given the same level of transpar- ency a standalone office gets,” Daiutolo said. Even after a site is selected for closure, there’s still a chance for an appeal to the Postal Regulato- ry Committee before any closing would take place, he added. “At the earliest, with all the timelines we’re working with, none of these branches would close before December,” he said. The list released Tuesday, which contains the names of 203 Penn- sylvania locations, is the third grouping of postal retail facilities facing possible closure issued since 2009. From the 2009 list of about 3,600, 140 eventually closed, Daiutolo said. Among them were two locally, Ashley and Dickson City. If post offices are slated to close, the postal service said resi- dents will still receive mail and be able to purchase stamps local- ly. In communities without a post office, the Postal Service plans to sell stamps and offer ser- vices through local retailers such as grocers, convenience stores or other popular gathering places. Residents in Luzerne County that have P.O. boxes at the four post offices under review, would be changed to home delivery of mail and would likely see their zip codes replaced by ones from nearby Columbia County com- munities such as Bloomsburg, Stillwater, Benton or Berwick. Bonnie Adams, a Black Creek Township supervisor and a box holder at the Rock Glen Post Of- fice, said residents need to speak out and organize petition drives or campaigns to save their post office. The four post offices on the list located in Luzerne Coun- ty serve only a few hundred peo- ple; Cambra has 35 P.O. boxes. The Postal Service, solely sup- ported by postage revenue, has seen its funding stream on the decline as technology has al- lowed people to communicate through email, social networking and text messages. The service is looking at the restructuring as a way to stave off a reported record deficit of up to $9 billion this year.

Local communities will be ex- pected to pick up the respon- sibility of help- ing our broth- ers and sis- ters.” Kelly, execu- tive director of Catholic Social Services for the Scranton Dio- cese, said he doesn’t see a sim- ple solution because state and federal funding is being cut when more and more people are in need. “There are going to be more incidences of homelessness, food insecurity and less and less programming for children,” Kel- ly said. The Scranton Diocese oper- ates a homeless shelter in Scran- ton, but in Luzerne County, Mother Therese’s Haven – for- merly VISION – moves from church to church on a weekly basis. Kelly said it is more ex- pensive to keep moving the shel- ter and more difficult to get the clients to appointments usually in downtown Wilkes-Barre. Kelly said the diocese was looking for a permanent loca- tion for a shelter in Wilkes- Barre, but with drastic funding cuts, the chance of that happen- ing has diminished. “I’m not sure where we’re go- ing to go,” Kelly said. “There’s insufficient money being provid- ed for individual men and wom- en and absolutely minimal mon- ey for sheltering of families,” Kelly said. Kelly said not only are more people coming to places like the St. Vincent de Paul Kitchen for meals, there has been a signif- icant spike in the number of peo- ple coming to Mother Therese’s Haven for shelter. “Just when REACH, Inc. closed, we had moved a lot of our homeless men to transition- al living,” Kelly said. “But all of our beds were immediately fil- led by new people.” Kelly said the sagging econo- my is the main reason for the increased demand for services. “I just spoke to a 31-year-old man who told me he’s been homeless six times this year,” Kelly said. He said he wants to work and is physically able to work, but he can’t find a job.” Kelly said Mother Therese’s Haven has 28 men staying there at night. He said there have been increased demands for health care as well. He said more than 200 people were at the McKinney Clinic above the St. Vincent de Paul Kitchen just the other night. “The demand is extremely high,” Kelly said. “Donations are needed. Our funding has been cut by 62 percent.” He had said Catholic Social Services, St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, United Way and the Commission on Economic Op- portunity have been discussing a way to establish a permanent homeless shelter for men. Kelly had hoped to have something operating by the fall, but he’s not as optimistic now. While Kelly said there is noth- ing new on finding a permanent shelter location in downtown Wilkes-Barre, he said it is a pri- ority and he believes it will hap- pen soon. Monsignor says homeless situation is a crisis Executive director of Catholic Social Services feels too many cuts are being made. By BILL O’BOYLE [email protected] Kelly Cutbacks in state funding for programs that help those in need and the lack of a central shelter where the homeless can crash at night has exasperated an already critical situation. McCawley said the demand for meals has increased dramat- ically over the last month. “We have been serving more than 400 lunches per day and our evening meal has gone from 125 servings to more than 300,” McCawley said of the recent in- crease in visitors. “More and more people are losing their jobs. They come in and tell us that they have never had to ask for help before. I’ve never seen our kitchen so crowded.” John Patterson, 54, a Scranton resident, is now homeless and has been coming to the kitchen for meals for about a month. He’s looking for work and until he finds a job, he’s been forced to camp out. “I keep clean though,” he said. “I make sure I get a shower ev- ery day. I’ve been working one day a week at the Farmers Mar- ket. I’ll find something soon, I hope.” John R. Cool, 56, of Edwards- ville, was standing with Patter- son. Cool said his rent is so high he has little money left for food. “Something has to happen to help us,” Cool said. As more people come to the St. Vincent de Paul Kitchen for meals, the demand for food to serve has also increased, McCawley said. “So far we’re keeping up with the demand,” she said. “But we are hopeful our donations in- crease because the number of people we serve is increasing daily.” Sources facing cuts McCawley said funding for the Weinberg Food Bank at the Commission on Economic Op- portunity will be cut. She said that will place an even greater need for donations. “These are extremely tough times,” McCawley said. “People don’t realize that these funding cuts are coming at a time when the demand is rising dramatical- ly.” McCawley said more people are in need and she urged elect- ed officials “to do something.” Bryan Hogan, 49, is a former homeless man who now lives in Kingston. Hogan was a frequent visitor to REACH, which closed a month ago because of a fund- ing shortage. The homeless drop-in center was in St. Ste- phen’s Episcopal Church, about four blocks from the St. Vincent de Paul Kitchen. He said he doesn’t see many of the people who came to RE- ACH daily for showers, break- fast, to pick up their mail or to use the phone to set up appoint- ments. “I’ve bumped into a few guys and I’ve tried to help them by telling them where to go to get some help,” Hogan said. Another REACH alum, “Jeb” – he won’t reveal his last time – said he’s still living in the woods somewhere on the West Side. “I’m surviving,” he said. “I don’t see anybody much any- more.” Jeb, a handyman, said he’s been working regularly. He said he does his work, grabs a meal at the kitchen and returns to his woodsy home. “At my place, listening to the city traffic is like listening to the ocean if you set your mind right,” he said. Clients ‘disappeared’ Stefanie Wolownik, former ex- ecutive director at REACH, has been stopping by her office to clean it out. She said she has seen a few of her former clients, but most have not been around. “I was thinking the other day, wow, these people have just kind of disappeared,” Wolownik said. “I guess they went under- ground. But they are used to places closing and being kicked out. They adapt and move on.” Wolownik said she has pre- pared informational sheets that list services and agencies that homeless and people in need can access for help.

For the last 16 years, Tribendis has also coached boys and girls water polo. The funding for water polo – about $13,000–has beeneliminat- ed by the WVW School Board, causing everyone from team members to coaches to parents to supporters tojumpinthepool and help raise money to keep the wa- ter polo programabove water. “The school board has been supportive and the parents group – WVW Aquatic Parents – has al- ready raised about $4,000 so far,” Tribendis said. “If we can get to $10,000 we can keep the pro- gram.” Tribendis, who retired from teaching six years ago, said about 40 students participate in the wa- ter polo program and in 1999 the girls’ team won the state cham- pionship. Sally Anne Kaminski of Ed- wardsville, is a former WVW swimmer and water polo player who doesn’t want the program to end. “I can easily say water polo is a demanding, challenging sport that builds character, discipline and confidence in students that theydesperatelyneedthesedays,” Kaminski said. “Water polo is like playing several sports at one time without beingabletostandupand use your legs. It teaches you to have great endurance, which helps tomakeyouabetter student and prepares you for college.” Kaminski said more people should come out and watch a wa- ter polo game to see howgrueling and intense it is. “Youreally have tobe very dedi- catedtoplaywater polo,” shesaid. Kaminski urged her fellow Class of 2005 members to donate totheprogramandtrytoget other donations to keep the sport alive. “I wouldn’t havebeenbothacol- legiate swimmer and in a nursing programwithout CoachTribendis or water polo,” she said. “The for- mula is tough sport plus tough coach equals great college suc- cess.” Tribendis alsotalkedabout past athletes he’s coached like Corey and Shana Welch who both went ontomajor colleges –Coreytothe University of Florida andShana to the University of Michigan. Shana has played professional water po- lo, Tribendis said.

Spurredbyarenewedinterest in organic farming and sustainable development, curiosity in keeping backyard chickens is on the rise across the country. The movement has taken hold in large urban centers such as Brooklyn, N.Y., and has prompted home farmers in communities such as Madison, Wis., and Por- tland, Maine, to successfully over- turn prohibitions on raising chick- ens in their communities. Rose White, a worker at Tractor Supply Co. in Hanover Township, said the phenomenon appears to be catching onlocally. The retailer sells chicken feed, hen boxes, egg incubators and other chicken-rais- ing supplies and in April sells live chicks. “Alot more people fromthe city of Nanticoke are coming in to buy feed, and they’re buying it in small enough quantities that I assume they’re doing it themselves,” said White, adding that she keeps chickens at Lake Silkworth. Municipal restrictions Kapral-Kelly said she plans to seekazoningvariancetoallowher to keep chickens in Kingston, but eventually she hopes local munici- pal leaders will overturnzoningor- dinances banning the keeping of hens, whicharen’t asnoisyorlikely tobecomeanuisanceas their male counterparts. Of the municipalities where Ka- pral-Kelly said her aspiring chick- en-farmer friends live, only Forty Fort does not prohibit keeping chickens. Ordinances in Swoyersville and Wilkes-Barre specifically prohibit the keeping of chickens, while Kingston’s ordinance states that “farm animals other than custom- ary pets shall not be kept in resi- dential districts.” Kingston Ad- ministrator Paul Keating said pro- hibition of farm animals has been in the municipality’s zoning ordi- nance since the late1970s. He said hebelieves raisingchickens or oth- er farmanimals inKingstonwould not enhance – andwouldprobably detract – fromthe quality of life of residents. “Clearly, farm animals or live- stock – and that goes for iguanas and exotic pets, too – clearly they donot belonginahigh-densityres- idential community,”Keatingsaid. “It doesn’t have any meaningful use in this community. We don’t have any rural zones in this com- munity that can support raising farmanimals. SoI wouldbe highly opposedtoever allowinglivestock or breeding in this community.” Swoyersville Zoning Officer Joe Ruscavage said his borough’s ordi- nance banning chickens went into effect in1976, andwas likelyenact- ed because the sound and smell produced by chickens and farm animals would create a public nui- sance. “Unfortunately, things have changed since the ’40s and ’50s,” he said. Amy Yerke of Shavertown has had a small chicken coop at her Jackson Road property for two years. She said the birds are man- ageable, donot pose problems and provide a steady stream of tasty eggs. “The eggs have a richer, better- looking yoke that have more nutri- ents and taste much better than store-bought eggs,” she said. “We’re quite happy with the chick- ens.” Healthier living Yerke said she thinks the addi- tion of the chicken coop has made her life and health better. Improvinga healthier lifestyle is Kapral-Kelly’s goals. The director of marketing and development for The Lands at Hillside Farms said keeping chickens at home perfect- ly coincides with the historic farm’s mission of promoting healthy, conservation-minded and practical lifestyle choices. She said municipalities should be promoting those sorts of choic- es as well. Shesaidhens wouldnot createa nuisance or detract fromquality of life because they do not make as much noise as roosters, which aren’t required for chickens to pro- duce edible eggs. This spring, theKingstonTown- shipfarmhostedaseminar onrais- ing backyard chickens attended by more than 35 people. “The requests just haven’t stop- ped coming since then,” Kapral- Kellysaid. “Weget thephonecalls, we get the emails… the interest is definitely snowballing.” Home-farmed eggs are lower in cholesterol, higher invitamins and many prefer the taste, she said. Chickens providepest control in gardens, andtheirnitrogen-richex- crement makes excellent fertilizer. The coops, she said, will not smell if cleanedregularly, andhens tendtostayinnestsfromsundown to sunrise. Raising chickens also makes a person partially responsible for their foodsourceandisagreat way of teaching kids responsibility, she added. Ahome chicken farmcan be set up for less than $300, Kapral-Kelly said, a bargain given that organic free-range eggs cancost more than $5 a dozen. Websites such as thecitychick- en.com and urbanchickens.org of- fer advice and connect seasoned and would-be chicken farmers with one another. The forumof one site, backyard- chickens.com, has nearly 100,000 registered members.

The Republican-controlled House on Friday passed a bill aimed at avoiding a debt default, voting 218-210 almost entirely along party lines. In the Republican radio ad- dress, Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl said it’s important for the country to avoid debt default, but said Dem- ocrats need to work more closely with Republicans. “Republicans have tried to work with Democrats to avoid this result andput our country on a better path, but we need them to work with us,” Kyl said. “Unfortunately, after weeks of negotiations, it became clear that Democrats in Washington did not viewthis crisis as an opportu- nity to rein in spending,” he said. “Instead, they sawit as an oppor- tunity to impose huge tax in- creases onAmericanfamilies and small businesses.” Obama insists that borrowing authority extend through 2013, beyond next year’s presidential campaign. The Democratic-controlled Senate, with help from some Re- publicans, quickly rejected the House bill on Friday. Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., had an alternative measure to cut spending by $2.4 trillion and raise the debt limit by an equal amount, enough to meet Oba- ma’s demandthat there not be an- other vote on government bor- rowing next year. “The time for putting party first is over,” Obama said. “The time for compromise on behalf of the American people is now.” AP PHOTO President Obama has urged the Congress to move quickly. President urges two parties to cooperate By DARLENE SUPERVILLE Associated Press WASHINGTON—There is no changing how Washington works. It doesn’t. Even if a bitterly divided Con- gress and President Barack Oba- ma avoid a U.S. debt default by striking a last-second deal, as all sides expect, plenty of damage has been done. People are disgusted. Confi- dence in the political system is tanking. Nothing else is getting done in Washington. The mar- kets are spooked. The global rep- utation of the United States has slipped. And the real kicker? This whole wrenching effort to shrink the debt may actually increase the debt. Any emergency deal may not be broad enough to prevent the major credit rating agencies from downgrading the United States as a rock-solid investment. That, in turn, could increase the cost of borrowing for the government (hence more interest and debt), not to mention for everyone else. The spectacle has brought Washington to its knees. Obama went onTVbefore the nationand called it a circus. One lawmaker felt compelledto apologize to the American people. “I can only imagine the anger and disgust they have,” said Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, “at witnessing a broken government and a presi- dent and members of Congress who can’t seem to even agree sometimes on what day it is, let alone to solve the nation’s debt crisis.” That about sums it up. Polls show people’s trust in government is at one of its worst levels indecades. AnABC/Wash- ington Post survey this month foundthat awhopping80percent of people were angry or dissatis- fiedwiththe federal government. About a decade ago, it wasn’t half that high. Pleading for the parties to work together for the American people, Obama said, “That’s the least that they should expect of us, not the most that they should expect of us.” Achieving the least is proving nearly impossible. This Washington moment be- ganas something big —a biparti- san effort to put a real dent in the long-termdebt by takingonpolit- ical issues that are genuinely tough for both parties. It has now devolved into a panicky debate over whether the nation’s debt limit will be raised by Tuesday so the country can pay its bills. Voters, remember, want their leaders tobe focusedonjobs. The goal of preventing a self-inflicted economic catastrophe is hardly a standard of excellence. When this is all over, politic- ians will claim credit wherever they can, and blame their oppo- nents for the long, embarrassing spectacle. And the public will assign blame, deciding whether those pushing compromise will be re- warded as eminently sensible or punished for caving. That misses the point. In the biggest sense, everyone has lost. “We have now taken a process that was not getting a lot of atten- tion and convinced people that this is not the usual shenanigans. It is farcical and utterly dysfunc- tional,” said Norman Ornstein, a political science scholar at the American Enterprise who has long examined Washington’s ways. “Whatever they pull out here in the end, that image isn’t going to change.” Consider some of the many ways Washington has not been able to escape itself: • Given the huge issues at stake, fromthe size of the debt to the role of government, voters might have hoped for a big, open debate of ideas. What they have had instead is a confusing proc- ess that’s playing out in secret or in strident statements to the press. • Congress, as usual, is ex- hausting all of its partisan op- tions before truly considering a potential agreement in the final hours. That’s viewed as normal, or even helpful, in Washington. A weary country, meanwhile, is get- ting daily updates about what it would mean to live with the first default in the country’s history. • Boehner suspended the vot- ing on his own bill so that he could find a way to snag the final votes he needed. The House switched to naming post offices as time slipped away. A White House official said this is why people hate Washington. Boehn- er’s office said it showed reform for Washington: At least he didn’t try to ram the bill through in the dead of night. • Obama is getting bashed for not putting his own plan on pa- per. The White House claims to do that would be to ensure its de- feat, because Republicans cannot publicly support whatever Oba- ma does. •The president said the world is watching. Allies are actually cringing. The international com- munity is seeing a superpower bicker and flail in its attempt to reduce its staggering debt. • The embarrassing stalemate follows a breathless budget clash between the parties that came close to shutting down the gov- ernment. And with the nation still stuck in a rut on job creation, there is little reason to be hopeful for a bipartisan economic agenda between now and the presiden- tial and congressional elections in November 2012. • The voices of moderation in bothparties have beendisappear- ing, in part because of election districts drawn to favor sharply one party of the other. Ornstein predicts the next election will bring only more polarization. “This is not exactly a shining mo- ment for America,” he said. Obama likes to remind voters that they had better intentions than this when they put Demo- crats in control of the White House and Senate and Republi- cans in charge of the House. “The American people may have voted for divided govern- ment, but they didn’t vote for a dysfunctional government,” the president says. Too bad they got both. For most, debt mess showing D.C.’s awful side This whole wrenching effort to shrink the debt may actually increase the debt. A N A L Y S I S By BEN FELLER AP White House Correspondent House with Obama and House Democratic leader Nancy Pelo- si. The renewed negotiations oc- curred on one track, while an- other pointed the Senate to- warda test vote onlegislationto raise the debt limit while cut- ting spending by $2.4 trillion. The vote was delayed from 1 a.m. today to 1 p.m. That measure was introduced by Reid but opposed by Repub- licans, who vowed to prevent it from advancing. Adding further confusion, the White House declined com- ment on the day’s develop- ments. That left prospects for a com- promise murky. But late Saturday night, Reid said compromise negotiations were going on at the White House. Halfway around the world, on a vis- it to Camp Leatherneck in Afghanis- tan, the na- tion’s top mili- tary officer fielded ques- tions from troops asking if they would be paid in the event of a de- fault. “I actually don’t know the answer to that question,” said Adm. Mike Mullen, chair- man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, although he told them they would continue to go to work each day. Without legislation in place by next Tuesday, administra- tion officials say the Treasury will run out of funds to pay all the nation’s bills. They say a subsequent default could prove catastrophic for the U.S. econo- my and send shockwaves around the world. The president is seeking leg- islation to raise the govern- ment’s $14.3 trillion debt limit by about $2.4 trillion, enough to tide the Treasury over until af- ter the 2012 elections. Over many weeks, he has agreed to Republican demands that defi- cits be cut — without a require- ment for tax increases — in ex- change for additional U.S. bor- rowing authority. But Obama has threatened to veto any legislation that would require a second vote in Con- gress for any additional borrow- ing authority to take effect, say- ing that would invite a recur- rence of the current crisis in the heat of next year’s election cam- paigns. Saturday’s developments opened with Obama saying, “There is very little time” in his weekly radio and Internet ad- dress. A few hours later, House Re- publican leaders engineered a vote to defeat a Reid-drafted proposal to raise the debt limit on a near-party line vote at mid- afternoon. Arguing into the night, Re- publicans stood ready to block the same measure’s advance in the Senate. Reid accused Republicans of filibustering, and it appeared he was hoping to find enough de- fectors in the GOP ranks so he could overcome the blockade. In contrast to McConnell, Reid said individual Republi- cans had shown a willingness to compromise. Indeed, some Republicans ex- pressed concerns about the ef- fects of gridlock. “I’m worried about Congress defaulting on our country,” said Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga. He suggested terms of a possible compromise and urged fellow lawmakers to find common ground. Sen. Robert Casey, D-Scran- ton, was also among those call- ing for compromise. “The Americanpeople watch- ing this over so many days now understand the basic challenge we face,” said Casey. “It’s a chal- lenge of reducing the deficit and debt and cutting spending, but alsoof makingsure that we have a bipartisan agreement to pay our bills and meet our obliga- tions. And I think if I had to boil it down to four words, it is this in terms of what people in Penn- sylvania have told me that we must do: compromise for our country.” With financial markets closed for the weekend, lawmakers had a little breathing room, but not much. Asian markets begin opening for the new work week whenit is late Sunday afternoon in the capital. In his remarks at a news con- ference, McConnell saidObama “needs to indicate what he will sign, and we are in those discus- sions.” He said later he had spoken several times during the day with Vice President Joe Biden, who played a prominent role in earlier attempts to break the gridlock that has pushed the country to the verge of an un- precedented default. Boehner said that despite the partisanship of recent weeks, “I think we’re dealing with reason- able, responsible people who want this crisis toendas quickly as possible and I’m confident it will.” To get to the endgame, Re- publicans and Democrats had to go through the formality of killing each other’s bills —scor- ing their own political points — before they could turn to mea- ningful negotiations. Still, the sudden talk of com- promise contrasted sharply with the day’s earlier develop- ments as both the House and Senate convened for unusual Saturday sessions. The House voted down legis- lationdraftedby Democrat Reid to raise the government’s debt limit by $2.4 trillion and cut spending by the same amount. The vote was 246-173, mostly along party lines and after de- bate filled with harsh, partisan remarks. Republicans said the Reid spending-cuts plan was filled with gimmicks and would make unacceptable reductions in Pen- tagon accounts. “It offers no re- al solutions to the out-of-con- trol spending problems,” said Rep. Alan Nunnelee of Missis- sippi, part of a group of 87 first- term Republicans who have led the push for deeper spending cuts. Republican Reps. Lou Barlet- ta of Hazleton and Tom Marino of Lycoming Township joined the solid opposition by House Republicans to the Reid plan. “Sen. Reid’s plan is flawed be- cause it relies on phantom sav- ings from war funding that was never set to be spent anyway,” Barletta said. “I cannot support this bill because it does not cut enough federal spending. Americans want real spending controls, not accounting gim- micks, which is what the Reid bill is.” Not even Democrats seemed to like the legislation very much, although many emerged from a closed-door meeting of the rank and file saying they would vote for it. Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Texas, called it “the least worst alter- native to avoid default.” Yet with their votes, many Democrats signaled their read- iness for compromise by voting to cut spending without raising taxes. Many Republicans insist taxes must not be raised to cut intofederal deficits, evenfor the wealthiest Americans and for big oil companies. In remarks on the House floor, Rep. David Dreier, R-Cal- if., said the vote itself could be prelude to a final effort at com- promise that would involve the White House and the leaders of both parties. Across the Capitol, the Sen- ate marked the hours before a scheduled test vote at 1 a.m. Sunday on the same measure. There was no doubt about the outcome there, either, unless compromise intervened. Atotal of 43 Republicans sent Reid a letter saying they would block the bill from advancing, enough to prevail. With both parties’ preferred solutions blocked, the only al- ternatives were compromise that was so far elusive or a de- fault that no one claimed to want. The day’s events in the House were orchestrated as political payback, and unusual at that, since Republicans lined up to kill legislation that hadn’t even cleared the Senate. Less than 24 hours earlier, Reidhadengineeredthe demise of a House-passed bill hours af- ter it passed, and without so much as a debate on its merit. Pelosi said Boehner “chose to go to the dark side” when he changed his own legislation to satisfy tea party lawmakers and other critics. There were catcalls from the Republican side of the aisle at that, and Pelosi responded by repeating that the speaker “chose to go to the dark side.” Republicans ridiculed Reid’s legislation. “Not only does it fail to ad- dress our spending and debt problem, it won’t even prevent a downgrade of our credit rat- ing,” said Rep. Scott Garrett, R- N.J. “We needactual cuts to gov- ernment spending to address our long-term debt crisis, not phantom cuts and accounting gimmicks.” Times Leader Washington correspondent Jonathan Risk- ind contributed to this report.

C M Y K PEOPLE S E C T I O N B timesleader.com THE TIMES LEADER SUNDAY, JULY 31, 2011 W ell, here I am, watching the most highly paid construction crew ever assembled build my dream home. It took a while, but finally I got my plans worked out with a committee of the world’s leading architects. Now as fabulously expensive and exotic woods and other building materials are being brought in by heavy-lift helicopters I’m busy trying to visualize the final prod- uct. It’s actually going to be fairly retro, though. Trendy neighbors probably wouldn’t like it. Instead of sending the welcome wagon, they’d rally on my sidewalk with packs of dogs and burn- ing torches, screaming something like “curse you, monster of 1940s taste.” But I’d snicker. Truly, I believe that designers of the past were on to some- thing, at least something that makes sense to me. So here’s what my person- al dream home would have. A wrap-around porch: I drive all over to look at nice homes, and I faithfully read The Times Leader’s home stories. I have yet to see a big, comfy-looking wrap-around porch on a fancy-shmancy house. What happened to them, I don’t know, but it’s a tragedy. I live on my porch as much as pos- sible during warm weather, sprawled in my glider, iced tea nearby, reading a book or magazine and chatting with neighbors. When I was a kid, my par- ents’ home had a fantastic L-shaped porch, with a solid railing so that on a stifling night you could actually sleep out there. A sitting room: I’ll bet most people younger than 50 today don’t know what a “sitting room” is. So listen up: it was a minor-league version of your living room, and probably right next to it, usually accessed through a side door. You’d welcome guests there when the occasion (or the guests) did not warrant disturbing the doilies on the living room furniture. It was also the place where the fam- ily gathered to listen to “Jack Benny” or “Big Town” on the Silvertone con- sole radio. Other functions included: kids’ playroom; place to grab a nap on the old couch; music listening room (on the wind-up Victrola); or whatever other purpose you wanted, including drying out umbrellas. A cellar and an attic: When I meet people whose houses have no cellars or attics, I’m appalled. Where do they put their model railroads? Where do they store out-of-season decorations? You can’t beat a cellar for half-used cans of paint whose original purpose you don’t recall. Show me a garden shed – how- ever enormous – that can do those things. I’m especially fond of attics. A good attic is a veritable history of your per- sonal life. It holds the first book you bought, your grade school graduation pin, the gift appliance you forgot about until you bought another one that was on sale. I’d wander about in existential haze without a dusty third floor. Say, this place is getting pretty big. I can tell you one thing my dream home wouldn’t have, though: walk-in closets. If you have that much clothing, you probably ought to give more stuff to charity drives. The home in which I grew up had two little hallway closets – one for each pair of bedrooms. It also wouldn’t have an “entertain- ment and communications center.” The computer and the TV are not on speaking terms. Hey, I must have fallen asleep over the paper’s “Homes” section and start- ed dreaming again. I think I’ll turn to the story about the federal deficit talks. That’s so much less frustrating.

And that’s it.” You’re very involved with the Wilkes- Barre Riverfront Parks Committee and RiverFest, correct? “I’ve been with them at least 20 years. I started off picking up trash and then someone asked me if I’d help out coordinating some of the events. I was also on the board and was president for about five years.” Music? “Bob Dylan. I like jazz. I like classical music. You can look at the CDs that I have or the old vinyl that I have, and you can find Big Brother and The Holding Company and Cream, and you can find something from Wagner or Wagnerian opera, or Wes Montgomery, a jazz guitarist, or Felix Slatkin. Frank Sinatra, big band music, Herbie Hancock ... I like a wide variety.” Favorite food? “Italian. But typically what I eat on a regular basis, because of my training, is fuel. It’s very simple stuff: carbohydrates, protein and a lot of fruits and vegetables. And it’s simply pre- pared, because I’m not going to go through a whole lot of effort to make something that to me is simply fuel.” Always in the fridge? “Bags of spin- ach.” Favorite city to visit? “New York. It’s energizing. And it’s a great place to run.” Favorite place for vacation? “The shore. Anyplace where there’s an ocean.” Favorite movies? “ ‘Paths of Glory,’ ‘Monty Python and The Holy Grail’ and ‘The Usual Suspects.’ ” Favorite TV shows? “My favorite was ‘Seinfeld.’ But I usually have television on to listen to news. I’ll have on MSNBC, or CNN or CNBC.” Favorite quote? “No excuses, no regrets.” And “The mind, once expanded to the dimensions of larger ideas, never returns to its original size.” — Oliver Wendell Homes. Tell us something about yourself that might surprise people. “I carried the Olym- pic Torch in 2001, for the 2002 Winter Olympics.” Defining moment? “When I decided to go into the Air Force. That was not an easy thing to do. Talk about going out of your comfort zone. But it had a huge impact. Everything else flowed from that.” You’ve worked with the Chamber for three years and, prior to that, had been a volunteer there for many years. You’ve also worked as a computer operator for the Civil Service Commission, for IMB, for the American Red Cross and with Little Flower Manor. What do you enjoy most about your current position? “The inter- action. It’s the fact that you are a part of this building process. You’re helping people with their businesses. You can feel yourself as being integral in the possible success of something.” What do you enjoy doing outside of work? “I’m a runner. I’ve been running for 33 years. I’ll be doing my 17th mara- thon in October. I enjoy that. I run by myself. I don’t wear a headset. In 33 years of running, I’ve never been on a treadmill. I don’t care what the weath- er is. Twelve months out of the year, I’m going. I’m always training.” You spent four years as a medic in the Air Force in the ’60s — during war- time — yet you prefaced this conversa- tion by saying you didn’t want to talk about that. Can you briefly explain why? “I came back. That’s it. You accepted your responsibility. You did what you had to do.

D ouble, double, toil andbigtrouble. WilliamShakespearepennedhistragedy“Macbeth” sometimebetween 1603and1607, andthis workof classic Englishliterature is showingits age. Althoughtheplayis compulsoryfor most highschool students, onlythosewithaloveof languagecanremem- ber muchmore thana fewiconic lines once they put downthe script. Macbeth has been adapted into film, nov- els, opera, television, andcomicbooks tohelp preservetheclassictaleof regicide, butthere’s stillsomethingkeepingkidsfromunderstand- ingShakespeare’s vision. To hear Daniel Gallagher explain it, that something is its lack of robots. Gallagher, a Forty Fort native and CGI animator, is work- ing on an out-of-this-world animation project that hebelievescanreconcile“Macbeth”with today’s audience. To help update Shakespeare’s play for the technology age, Gallagher is employing the aid of Kickstarter, an online fundraising plat- formas innovativeandexperimental as his vi- sion. Gallagher’s appreciation of “Macbeth” can be traced to his sophomore year at Bishop O’ReillyHighSchool, whenhereadtheplayas part of Anne Butler’s English class. For those who may forget, the tragedy tells the story of the title character, a brave Scottish warrior “There’s not a wasted page. When there’s not action going on, there’s certainly intrigue. Af- ter studyingShakespeare incollege literature classes andworkingwiththe plays onstage, I came to realize there’s a lot more in the play thanI initially got out of it inhighschool. But even then I was asking questions: did the witches really see the future for Macbeth, or didthey influence his actions?” Now Gallagher is coupling his talent for analyzingliteraturewithwhat hecallshisfull- time hobby, CGI animation, to create a film that will encourage high school students to keep asking questions about Shakespeare’s work. “There’s nothing remotely boring about this story! It’s a power struggle, a political thriller, a morality tale, and a bloodbath. It’s got dark magic, and evil deeds. It’s got re- venge, and battle, and twisting prophecies,” whoconspireswithhiswife, LadyMacbeth, to murder the rightful king of Scotland and as- sume the throne. Prophesying witches and political rivals torment Macbeth before he dies fighting the rightful heir to the throne.

NAMES AND FACES Bodosky Sokach Phillips DALLAS: Four Misericor- dia University students per- formed more than 1,200 hours of community service volunteering as high school tutors and literacy advocates and helping fellow students acclimate to college life as part of the AmeriCorps Com- munity Fellows project. The AmeriCorps Communi- ty Fellows project is designed to develop students as active citizens and increase the num- ber of college students serv- ing in the areas of college ac- cess and success, preparing other students to go to col- lege and helping them suc- ceed once they get there. The Fellows are required to each complete a minimum of 300 hours of service in one calen- dar year. The participating students, who have varied backgrounds and majors, are: Cory Chikow- ski, a nursing major from West Pittston; Sara Nowalis, a speech-language pathology major from Forty Fort; Rachel Ruane, an early childhood, elementary and special educa- tion major from Roaring Brook Township; and Jessica Szumski, a psychology major from Dupont. Upon successful completion of their term of service, each AmeriCorps Community Fel- low will receive an education award of $1,132 from the Na- tional Service Trust which can be used to repay qualified stu- dent loans, pay current educa- tional expenses and/or pay for future education at a qual- ified institution of higher learning.

HONOR ROLL hesays. Gallagher believes today’s stu- dents feel disengagedfromthe sto- rybecauseof its staging. “Myproject is anewstaging, not an adaptation,” Gallagher says. “I’mputtingrobotsinaCyberScot- land, but it will adhere faithfully to the text.” The project will only be completed if Gallagher can raise the production costs. The sculp- tures, sets, actors, computer equip- ment, andmotioncapture andani- mation programs necessary to cre- ate a 2-hour robot rendering of the tragedycarrya pricetagof $8,900. When it comes to raising the money, though, Gallagher has demonstratedaforesightworthyof Macbeth’s witches: hehas screwed his courage to the sticking-place andsubmittedhisproposal toKick- starter, the largest threshold pledge systemfor funding creative projects intheworld. Kickstarter, hosted at www.kick- starter.com,allowspeopletocreatea short video about the music, film, art, technology, design, food, or oth- er project for which they want to raisemoney. If thevideoisapproved by Kickstarter staff, the project cre- ators arethenallowedtochoosethe amount of money they will seek as well asthetimeperiodduringwhich donations will be accepted. Once a project is listed on the website, do- nors from all over the world may pledgeanyamountthatismorethan $1. If the total amount desired is se- curedinpledges, the project creator receives his funds. If the project falls even1dollarshort of itsgoal, howev- er, no money changes hands. Kick- starter’s all-or-nothing funding in- suresthatanartist’screativevisionis not compromised, and that project creators will be very engaged in the promotion process. Gallagher has until11:59p.m. ESTonSunday, Aug. 7toreachhisgoal,andhehasalready securedsomeinterest intheproject. J.A. Curcione, a writer from Sa- lem, Mass., is one of Gallagher’s pledgers. “The project is pretty out there,” Curcione admits, “but Dan hasaveryfocusedvision:hewantsto get young people excited about Shakespeare’s text. Havingperform- edShakespeare’sworkandasafan, I sayanythingthat triestograbkidsis great and worth the pledge. ‘Mac- beth’ is action-packed, andthe story workswithwhat hehasdesigned.” Jennifer Joseph, a visual artist from Santa Fe, N. M., and fellow pledger echoes Curcione’s senti- ments. “Because of the preva- lence of video games today,” she says, “kids have a relationship with visual language. Dan’s pro- ject, conceptually, is great. I’m hoping for full funding of his pro- ject. The great thing about Kick- starter is that it’s a give-as-you- canprogram; youcanraisealot of money in small increments, which is fantastic in today’s eco- nomic environment.” One of Gallgher’s most ardent supportersmaybeAnneButler, the English teacher who introduced him to Macbeth more than a dec- ade agoandwhocurrently teaches andheadstheEnglishDepartment at Dallas HighSchool. Gallagher, who Butler remem- bers as havinganeasy time naviga- ting Shakespeare’s language and a talentforpickinguphisinnuendos, believes a new staging of The Bard’s original text is neededinto- day’s classrooms. “I’mapurist,”Butlersays.“Ideally, wewant all readers toget tothat pu- rist stage. I have found in my career thatthecomplexlanguageisthebig- gest barrier to Shakespeare’s mess- age. There’s definitely a value in dif- ferent adaptations and stagings. They helpa reader buildtowardthe message Shakespeare intended. I’m interestedtoseewhatDandoeswith this. ‘Macbeth’ is the story of one man’sdesiretobemorethanhe’ssup- posedtobe. Iwonderhowthattrans- lateswhenMacbethisamachine.” While Gallagher is not giving awaytoomanytradesecretsjustyet, he’s confident that the human ele- mentsof thetragedywill resonatein his animation. “I keep thinking as I workonthisprojectaboutthemasks actorsworeinancientGreektheater, or Nohtheater. If thestoryis univer- sal, and conveyed properly, it’s al- mostbetternottoseeanactor’sface. Becausewecanprojectourselveson- tothemasks.”Inaworldaswiredas the present day, robotic Macbeth holds great promise: viewers of Gallagher’s creation should have no trouble projecting themselves ontomachines.

Ragan earned his first career Sprint Cup Series victory earlier this month at Daytona, a track long considered to be the crownjewel of NASCAR. Indianapo- lis ranks among the most prestigious tracks in the world, and Ragan’s pole- winningrunSaturday was nosmall feat. He made his run late in the session, with three-time Brickyard winner Jim- mie Johnson holding down the top spot on the leaderboard. Ragan turned a lap of 182.994 mph in his Roush Fenway Racing Ford to bump Johnson from the pole. “It will be cool to lead the pack,” Ra- gan said. “It’s an honor to be here and to be the fastest guy at Indy. This is a great track. Any type of accomplishment you get here is cool.” It’s Ragan’s second career pole. His first came in April at Texas. “It was a good lap, I didn’t make a mistake,” Ragan said. “It wasn’t as aggressive as I wanted to be. But I knew if I hit my marks, had a conservative lap, I’d at least have a top-five.” Kasey Kahne made his qualifying run after Raganandjumpedinfront of John- son with a lap at 182.927 mph in a Toyo- ta from Red Bull Racing. “We just have to be there at the end,” Kahne said. “It seems that’s how this race is won, being up front at the end. You’re not just going to pass five, six cars. When you get to turn one, you’ve got to be one of those top couple of cars more times than not.” AP PHOTO David Ragan N ortheastern Pennsylvania has turned out its fair share of athletes that have garnered national attention. In football alone, names like Rocket and Qadry Ismail are recognized by sports fans around the country. But the area hasn’t exactly been a hotbed of cycling in the past. That could change as a pair of young area cy- clists have a chance to earn some international recognition. Booey Hottenstein, of Kingston, and Luke Lu- kas, of Courtdale, will be heading to West Flan- ders, Belgium, to race and train for a month. “We’ve got some pretty pure talent here,” said Paul Lukas, president of the Upstate Velo Club and Luke Lukas’ father. The pair will be making the trip as part of a group of riders with the FCS Cycling Team out of Texas. The team is owned by Tim Redus’s Vertex Cycling, a group founded to address the needs of elite level, developing bicycle racers and to en- hance the sport of competitive cycling in the U.S. They are receiving support from the Upstate Velo Club – along with its sponsors Hi-Tech Floor- ing, Pride Mobility Products, L.T. Verrastro Inc. and TeeDude.com – and Sickler’s Bike shop and Mark and Sue Farrell (former owners of Sickler’s). “Upstate Velo, Sickler’s Bike Shop, and Mark and Sue Farrell have been absolutely instrumental to the development of cycling in the area,” Hotten- stein said. “Luke and I couldn’t thank them enough for their support.” The Velo Club also helped send David Novak, of CYCL I NG Two young cyclists from area will travel to Belgium to race and train for a month CLARK VAN ORDEN/THE TIMES LEADER Booey Hottenstein of Kingston and Luke Lukas of Courtdale will travel to Europe to compete in bicy- cle races as part of a team owned by a group founded to enhance the sport of cycling in the U.S. Wheels in motion By JOE SOPRANO [email protected] See CYCLING, Page 4C FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Chad Ochocinco promised to tone down his antics now that he’s in New England, where coach Bill Belichick likes his players to be seen and rarely heard. That lasted all of five minutes. Aftercallinghimself achameleonwhocan“blend in and do it the Patriot way,” Ochocinco riffed on riding the wave and soaring with his angel wings. Then, by way of introduction to the crush of media surrounding himfor his first availability inNewEn- gland, he asked for a group hug. “It is going to be a little quiet. You won’t get the same Chadyouare usedto, andI probably won’t be talking to the media much, probably not at all, real- ly.

Ochocinco fails to tone it down On first try since joining Pats, the off-the-wall receiver is his old self. By JIMMY GOLEN AP Sports Writer See OCHOCINCO, Page 6C S uddenly, everyone’s flocking to the Philadelphia Eagles. And this flurry of activity has put Philadelphia at the front of the pack. The Eagles are the team to beat now, after bringing some of the big- gest names in the business to town. They’ve added game-changers Do- minique Rodgers-Cromartie, Nnamdi Asomugha, Jason Babin and Vince Young to a team that already boasts Michael Vick, DeSean Jackson and LeSean McCoy. “It’s like a dream team,” said Young, the team’s new backup quarterback. If this is a dream, Eagles fans don’t want to be awakened. They’re wide-eyed over a 48-hour spending spree that should make the Eagles Super Bowl favorites in the NFC. Who’s better? The Eagles now have the best cor- nerback tandem in the league. They could have the best two front-line quarterbacks of any team. And now they’ll get more push from their pass rush. All because they’re in a rush to win it all. “The Eagles are all-in,” Eagles presi- dent Joe Banner said. Don’t bet against them this time. The Eagles figured Kevin Kolb’s time was up, so they traded their once-promising quarterback of the future to Arizona. In exchange, they got a lockdown cornerback who has picked off 13 passes during his three NFL seasons and returned four of them for touchdowns. That Thursday deal was only the start of a team transformation for the Eagles. “It’s dramatic,” Banner said. For Philadelphia’s opponents, the change could be traumatic. The Eagles signed Asomugha, who was so dynamic in Oakland that quar- terbacks only had a 50-50 shot of completing a pass when they threw his way. And last year, they threw the ball his way just 19 times the entire season. Meanwhile, Jason Babin was having a breakout season as a pass-rushing defensive end for Tennessee. If he can come anywhere close to accumulating 12½ sacks this year after signing with the Eagles, Philadelphia can count on a furious pass rush with Babin on one side and Trent Cole on the other. On the other side of the ball, they signed Young to take Kolb’s place and back up Vick. That’s four big names added to the Eagles’ game plan. “It sent shock waves through the NFL,” said Babin, who was a training camp cut by the Eagles a couple years ago. “It’s impressive.” It’s a statement, heard loud and far. The Eagles are putting their chips on the table, gambling a Super Bowl run is in their immediate future. “They wanted to come to a team that gave them a chance to get to a Super Bowl,” Reid said of his new recruits. “I appreciate that. That’s what we strive for every year.” Striving doesn’t always mean thriv- ing. The Eagles are still smarting from four NFC Championship game defeats during Reid’s 12-year tenure. “There’s a big focus on relieving the pain of being so close so many times and not getting there,” Banner said. The Eagles got better in one fell swoop during the early days of train- ing camp. They practiced at Lehigh University in front of fans for the first time Sat- urday, and spent the morning listen- ing to chants of “Super Bowl.” Those cries always come from the stands at camp. This time, they sounded more real. PAUL SOKOLOSKI O P I N I O N Eagles send shock waves through NFL Paul Sokoloski is a Times Leader sports columnist.

The Yankees struck first against last-place Rochester but gave up six unanswered runs and lost 6-2 before a sellout crowd of 11,436 at Frontier Field. The Yankees are in third place in the IL North, four games behindLehighValley and two behind second-place Paw- tucket. The Yankees scored an un- earned run in the first inning off Kevin Slowey, but could do nothing over the next seven in- nings against the control spe- cialist, who is on the trade block as the major- league deadline hits today. “He was really on tonight,’’ second baseman I L B A S E B A L L Yanks fall 4 games off pace in North By JIMMANDELARO For The Times Leader See SWB, Page 4C 6 RED WINGS 2 YANKEES K PAGE 2C SUNDAY, JULY 31, 2011 THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com ➛ S C O R E B O A R D CAMPS/CLINICS Rock Solid Girls Elite Basketball Camp will be held at the Rock Rec Center 340 Carverton Road.

YA N K E E S I N M I N O R S Montero produces 9 RBI this week Editor’s Note: The Scranton/Wilkes- Barre Yankees have taken a page from their parent club by winning championships. SWB has racked up four consecutive International League North Division titles and more could be on the way because the minor league system is stacked with top prospects that are close to contributing at the Triple-A or Major League level. Here’s a look at the organization’s top 10 prospects according to MLB.com, where they are now and how they are faring: The Times Leader staff July 31, 2005 At Yankee Stadium, the Moli- na brothers, Bengie and Jose, both homer off Randy Johnson. The Angel teammates join Hank and Tommie Aaron, Matty and Jesus Alou, Aaron and Bret Boone, Billy and Tony Coniglia- ro, Al and Tony Cuccinello, Rick and Wes Farrell, Vladimir and Wilton Guerrero, Graig and Jim Nettles, Cal and Billy Ripken and Paul and Lloyd Waner as siblings who have gone deep in the same game. On This Date 1. Brody Colvin, starting pitcher, Single-A Clearwater: He has a 2-5 record in 15 starts with a 3.96 ERA and 59 strikeouts in 84 innings. 2. Sebastian Valle, catcher, Single-A Clearwater: The 20-year-old is batting .325 with four home runs, 34 RBI and an on-base percentage of .348 in 265 at-bats for the Threshers. 3. Jesse Biddle, starting pitcher, Low-A Lakewood: The left-handed first-round has a 5-6 record with a 3.18 ERA and 106 strikeouts in 107 2 ⁄3 innings. Hitters are batting just .221 against him. 4. Trevor May, starting pitcher, Single-A Clearwater: A strikeout machine, he’s fanned 151 in 112 innings, going 7-6 with a 3.54 ERA. He’s had three double-digit strikeout games for the Threshers, with his season- high being 14. 5. Aaron Altherr, outfiel- der, Short Season Single-A Williamsport: For the Cross- cutters, he’s batting .270 in 37 games after being demot- ed from Lakewood. Overall in the minors this year, he’s just hitting .239 with three home- rs. 6. Cesar Hernandez, sec- ond base, Single-A Clear- water: The switch-hitting 21-year-old has played in 87 games for the Threshers this year, posting a .263 average with three home runs, 30 RBI and 16 stolen bases. 7. Justin De Fratus, reliev- er, Triple-A Lehigh Valley: A righty, he’s made 16 appear- ances for the IronPigs this season, going 2-1 with a 4.70 ERA after being promoted from Reading. His minor league totals this season are 6-1 with a 3.14 ERA, 70 strikeouts and 10 saves in 57 1 ⁄3 innings. 8. Jiwan James, outfielder, Single-A Clearwater: The 22-year-old is batting .280 with three homers, 22 RBI and 20 stolen bases in 393 at-bats. * Outfielder/infielder Jo- nathan Singleton and start- ing pitcher Jarred Cosart, previously the Philadelphia Phillies’ two top prospects, were traded to the Houston Astros organization Friday night as part of the deal in which the Phillies acquired major league outfielder Hun- ter Pence. Both Singleton and Cosart had been playing for Single-A Clearwater. P H I L L I E S P R O S P E C T S Pitcher Colvin assumes top spot Editor’s Note: Here’s a look at the Phillies’ top prospects, according to MLB.com, how they are faring and where they are currently playing: The Times Leader staff Russ Canzler: The Hazleton Area grad, who is an outfielder for Durham, the Triple-A affil- iate of the Tampa Bay Rays, has been playing exceptionally well. His fine season has continued with a .296 batting average in 97 games. He has 13 home runs, 29 doubles and 62 RBI. He was also named MVP of the Triple A All-Star Game earlier this sea- son. Cory Spangenberg: An Abing- ton Heights grad and the 10th overall draft pick by the Padres last month got off to a stellar start for the Short-Season Eu- gene (Ore.) Emeralds and was promoted to Class-A Fort Wayne (Ind.) in the Midwest League. After hitting .384 for the Em- eralds, he has struggled early on for the Tin Caps. He’s batting .167 (9-for-54) with 5 RBI and two stolen bases in eight games. Overall in the minors, he’s bat- ting .300 (42-for-140) with a home run, 25 RBI and 12 stolen bases in 39 games. L O C A L S I N T H E P R O S Canzler continues fine year for Bulls By The Times Leader staff MOOSIC – When the Scran- ton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees broke spring training and head- ed north to Moosic, they didn’t plan on Doug Bernier being their starting shortstop. He wasn’t in the starting lineup when the team opened its season in Lehigh Valley. How- ever, now he is in the starting lineup and is playing a big role as the team’s everyday short- stop. “It’s a nice surprise. I have been in the game a long time and I know even if you’re not starting at the beginning of the year, opportunities always come up at some point,” Ber- nier said. “It’s been nice to have the opportunity to play every day, it’s been a lot of fun.” Some players have gotten down on themselves if they didn’t play as often as they would have liked. However, Bernier continued to work hard as if he were playing ev- ery day rather than let it effect his play on the field. The prep- aration paid off and due to injuries and call-ups the Yankee infielder has been a regular at shortstop. “It’s tough, because everyone wants to play,” Bernier said. “But going into the year I un- derstood the situation and knew the level of talent of the guys we had on the team.” “So, you just try and prepare every day as if you would be playing and when you do get the opportunity, you don’t want to be surprised by it.” The 2011 season marks Ber- nier’s second stint with the Yankees organization. Bernier feels this season has gone much better than 2009 did. In 79 games with Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre in 2009, he batted .181 with no home runs and just 20 RBI. He has really turn- ed it around in his second stint with the Yankee organization. As of July 28, he is hitting .279 and had 23 RBI, which is al- ready three more than his RBI total of 2009. He considers the 2009 season his worst in pro- fessional baseball. “It was draining, because that was my worst year,” Ber- nier said. “It was frustrating to have that kind of year knowing you are a free agent the next year and hoping you can find a job somewhere.” However, years later he has a job with the Scranton/Wilkes- Barre Yankees and he is happy to be back in the organization. “I had a good time when I was over here and the fact that they showed interest and want- ed me back after I didn’t have a very good year for them in 2009 gave me some confidence and excitement,” Bernier said. “I love playing for this orga- nization, because they preach winning and team together- ness.” Bernier has taken full ad- vantage of his second opportu- nity with the Yankee orga- nization. He combined hard work in the offseason and hard work during the season to get his game to where it is today. “I started to feel myself get- ting better about a month and a half into the season,” Bernier said. “I was starting to trust myself more. I think the whole trust factor and taking what I have been working on into the game and seeing that it can work.” Many players have said the game of baseball is just as much a mental game as it is a physical game. Bernier is no exception. After working with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre hitting coach Butch Wynegar, he has taken a different mental ap- proach at the plate. He (Wynegar) talked a lot about the mental side of hit- ting,” Bernier said. “He would ask me, what am I really trying to do with this at bat. One of his favorite lines he always tells me is, a bad approach is always better than no approach.” Although Bernier is appear- ing regularly in the Yankee lineup, he still feels there are things he needs to work on. “I really want to become a more consistent hitter,” Ber- nier said. “Baseball for me has always been like a chess match and if you stop working and trying to get better, then I think you need to find some- thing else to do.” Bench player at start of year now SWB’s starting shortstop NIKO J.

Hottenstein, 18, and Lukas, 16, leave for Belgium tonight. “I really don’t know what to expect,” said Lukas, 16. “It’s a chance to get a lot better real quick.” According to his father and Hottenstein, Lukas can expect a country that loves its cycling. “The sport is so popular that there are races every day,” said Paul Lukas, adding that the races are all within 30 or 40 miles of where the two cyclists will be staying. “It would be like if they had a race in Pittston here one day, then Nanticoke the next day then Scranton the next.” Hottenstein and Lukas will race three days a week and use the other three races as training or recovery days. All the while living with other young cyclists in what can best be described as a ‘bike hostel.’ “The international experi- ence that these riders will gain is immeasurable, from thinking tactically, adopting new train- ing and recovery techniques, and racing under all conditions and road surfaces,” Paul Lukas said. “They will then bring this knowledge back to young rid- ers in our area to help them perform better.” Lukas, the son of Paul and Jane Lukas, will race against junior competition. Hottenstein will race against elite amateurs and some professional riders who are under 23. “It’s a step up in competi- tion,” said Hottenstein, the son of Nora and Bill Hottenstein, of Kingston. “They are super fast.” Hottenstein, who made the trip last year, added that it’s not so much that the quality of cyclists in Europe is better, but the fact that there are so many more top-notch riders than in the United States. It Lukas’ first taste of in- ternational competition. He started riding a bike when he was 8 or 9, like most kids. But he has been riding com- petitively only since last year, competing in between 20 and 25 races. “There is nothing like it,” Lukas said of racing. “Pushing yourself to the limit and then blowing up … There’s just something about it.” Lukas has yet to land on the top spot on the podium, but he said he does have multiple second-place finishes. For him, the trip to Europe is all about getting some experi- ence and becoming a better rider. “It’s a chance to get a lot better real quick,” he said. That doesn’t mean the Valley West junior hasn’t been work- ing hard to get ready for the competition. “He has been training like a convict,” his father said. Hottenstein has a bit more experience racing, riding com- petitively since he has been 9 or 10. Last year, he also competed in the Tour de l’Abitibi in Cana- da. For Hottenstein the experi- ence will be a big plus, too, but he is also looking for some good finishes. “It’s a big step up,” he said. “I like to finish in the front … top 10s, top 20s.” He added that if everything goes just right for him, perhaps he could even find himself in the top spot on a podium. “It’s a slim possibility,” Hot- tenstein said of winning a race overseas. “But it’s still a possi- bility.” Hottenstein will begin col- lege in the fall at Northeastern, majoring in International Busi- ness with a minor in Spanish.

Melodi Raskiewicz struck out 13 batters in seven innings for the victory, allowing just two hits and two earned runs. Morgan Klosko was 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI, while Cook had a run, an RBI and a stolen base. Kingston/Forty Fort scored two in the bottom of the sixth to tie the game. Tacarra Roper had two stolen bases and a run in the sixth. Kingston/Forty Fort’s next game is yet to be determined. S O F T B A L L Kingston/Forty Fort wins state losers bracket game The Times Leader staff LOS ANGELES — Mardy Fish fought from behind in the third set to advance to his second straight final, beating teenager Ryan Harrison 6-0, 4-6, 7-6 (3) at the Farmers Classic on Saturday. Fish and Harrison were playing a rematch of their semifinal last week in Atlanta, where Fish won his first title of the season. The top-seeded Fish defeat- ed Harrison in straight sets in Atlanta and picked up where he left off Saturday, breezing through the opening set in 20 minutes. A frustrated Harrison won only six points. “That’s probably the clean- est set of tennis I’ve played in a long time,” Fish said. Harrison responded in the second set and pushed Fish to the brink in the third. Fish regrouped and went up 5-0 in the tiebreaker and won the match with an ace. “It’s never going to be like that for two sets,” Fish said. “I was playing at an extremely high level. You expect him to bounce back and play better. And he did.” Fish has won six career titles, but has never reached the final at this tournament. He will play the winner of the second semifinal between Alex Bogomolov Jr. of the U.S. and Ernests Gulbis of Latvia. The 19-year-old Harrison was trying for his first career final. He is the first American teen to make consecutive semifinals appearances since Andy Roddick in 2002. Harrison’s current run has pushed him to a career-best 94th in the world. With the loss, he fell to 0-7 when facing top-10 players. “I don’t feel like I can’t beat (Fish),” Harrison said. “It was a coin-flip there at the end, and he won.” Harrison showed his emo- tions in the third set, smash- ing his racket to the court and bending it in half after Fish broke his serve. Harrison received a warning from the chair umpire and tossed the mangled racket to a group of kids sitting courtside. Cilic to play Dolgopolov in Croatia Open final UMAG, Croatia — Marin Cilic defeated Fabio Fognini of Italy 6-2, 6-2 Saturday to ad- vance to the Croatia Open final against Aleksandr Dolgo- polov of Ukraine. The fourth-seeded Cilic dropped serve only once in the match, at the start of the second set, before becoming the first Croat to reach the Umag final since Goran Prpic defeated compatriot Goran Ivanisevic in 1990. In the other semifinal Sat- urday, the second-seeded Dol- gopolov beat Juan Carlos Fer- rero of Spain 6-4, 6-4. “It was not as easy as it looks,” Cilic said. “I had to play really hard to win. My serve went up and down, especially in the second set. But I am really happy how I played.” T E N N I S R O U N D U P Fish tops Harrison, makes another final The Associated Press Kevin Russo said. “We couldn’t do much of anything against him.” Slowey scattered five hits, walked none and struck out eight (five looking) in a 104-pitch ef- fort. Mike Lamb hit a solo homer off Kyle Waldrop in the top of the ninth. The fans turned out to watch the Red Wings, the Famous Chicken, postgame fireworks – and to some degree, the Yankees. Western New York is Yankee ter- ritory, and interest in New York’s top farm club is high. The Yankees entered the night 35-24 on the road, including an impressive 19-9 against IL North foes. Rochester, which has the second-worst record in the IL, is just 25-32 at home. “We can’t worry about that (losing to a last-place club),” Rus- so said. “A loss is a loss.” The Yankees struck right off the bat – and in this case, the glove. Russo flied to center on the secondpitchof the game, and the ball glanced off the heel of Rene Tosoni. Russo reached second, moved to third on Greg Golson’s sacri- fice bunt and scored on Jesus Montero’s bloop single to right. Yankees starter Adam Warren gave it back – with interest. Jeff BaileyandAaronBates singledin runs inthe bottomof the first and Rene Rivera’s solo homer off the railing in left field made it 3-1. Mike Hollimon’s 30-foot nub- ber down the third-base line scored Toby Gardenhire from third with Rochester’s fourth run inthe fourthinning. Hollimonhit a pitchfromWarrenoff the endof his bat, and both Warren and third baseman Brandon Laird let the ball roll, hoping it would go foul. It didn’t, andthe Wings capital- ized. They scored another run in the fifthona wildpitchfromWar- ren. Warren (6-4) allowed five runs on eight hits in his five-inning stint. He suffered his first loss since June 30. The Wings padded their lead with a run in the seventh, scoring on a sacrifice fly by Rivera. Mike Lamb homered off Kyle Waldrop in the top of the ninth. Russo said the Yankees are in- terested in the off-field doings as today’s trade deadline hits, but they can’t do much about it. “All we cando is take it one day at a time,” he said. The two-game series con- cludes tonight witha 6:35 start at Frontier. D.J.

Maya gets first career win, Nats shut out Mets 3-0 Nationals 3, Mets 0 WASHINGTON — Jayson Werth hit a three-run home run, and Yunesky Maya, filling in for traded starter Jason Marquis, earned his first career win for the Washington Nation- als in a 3-0 victory over the New York Mets on Saturday night. Maya (1-1) allowed five hits in 5 1-3 scoreless innings after being recalled from Triple-A Syracuse when Marquis was traded to the Arizona Dia- mondbacks shortly before the game. Maya, who made his major league debut with Wash- ington last season, was making his fourth start of the season and 10th of his career. He en- tered the game with an 0-4 career record. The Nationals snapped a six-game losing streak, their longest of the season. The Mets were shutout for the fifth time this season and ended a five-game winning streak. Cardinals 13, Cubs 5 ST. LOUIS — Albert Pujols and David Freese each home- red and Ryan Theriot added four hits and three RBI to help the St. Louis Cardinals over- come a five-run deficit in a 13-5 victory over the Chicago Cubs. It was the 432nd homer of Pujols’ career and came one day after he reached 2,000 hits. The home run places him alone in 40th place on the career list. He just missed getting a second one when the ball sailed just outside the left-field foul pole in the sev- enth inning. Braves 5, Marlins 1 ATLANTA — Tim Hudson allowed one run in seven in- nings, Dan Uggla hit a three- run homer and the Atlanta Braves beat the Florida Mar- lins. Uggla’s 20th homer, a three- run shot in the second inning, extended his career-best hitting streak to 21 games. The Marlins have dropped two straight following a five- game winning streak. Hudson (10-7) allowed six hits, one run and no walks with five strikeouts. Brewers 6, Astros 2 MILWAUKEE — Yovani Gallardo tossed seven effective innings and Prince Fielder hit a 475-foot home run to lead the surging Milwaukee Brewers to a 6-2 victory over the Houston Astros on Saturday night. Corey Hart hit a leadoff homer in the first for NL Cen- tral-leading Milwaukee, which earned its fifth consecutive win and stayed 11-2 games ahead of St. Louis. Hart finished with four hits, and Fielder and Jo- nathan Lucroy had three apiece. N AT I O N A L L E A G U E R O U N D U P Howard goes deep as Phils top Bucs The Associated Press NEW YORK — Robinson Cano, Nick Swisher and the New York Yankees broke loose for 12 runs in the first inning Saturday night, setting a franchise record en route to a 17-3 rout of the Baltimore Orioles that completed a painfully embarrassing sweep of their split double- header. Cano went 5 for 5 with five RBIs, a career high for hits, and Swisher smacked his second two-run homer of the day in the nightcap. Curtis Granderson added four hits for the Yankees, who roughed up both young pitching prospects called up from the minors to start for Baltimore. New York opened a 15-0 lead after two innings, making it an easy night for Ivan Nova (9-4) in his re- turn from Triple-A Scran- ton/Wilkes-Barre. Mariners 3, Rays 2 SEATTLE — Rookie Mi- chael Pineda gave up just one hit and struck out a career-high 10, Dustin Ack- ley homered, doubled and scored twice, and the Seat- tle Mariners won for just the second time in 20 games, 3-2 over the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday. Angels 5, Tigers 1 DETROIT — Dan Haren pitched a six-hitter for his second complete game against the Detroit Tigers in 25 days, leading the Los Angeles Angels to a victo- ry. Haren (11-6) walked one and struck out one. In two starts against Detroit, he is 2-0 with a 0.50 ERA. Rangers 3, Blue Jays 0 TORONTO — Derek Holland pitched a four- hitter to win his fourth straight decision, Mitch Moreland and Mike Napoli homered and the Texas Rangers beat the Toronto Blue Jays. Red Sox 10, White Sox 2 CHICAGO — Jon Lester pitched eight strong in- nings and the Boston Red Sox got homers from Adrian Gonzalez and Kevin Youkilis and three RBIs from Marco Scutaro in victory over the Chicago White Sox. Indians 5, Royals 2 CLEVELAND — Matt LaPorta’s three-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning gave Cleveland its 12th home win its last at bat. LaPorta connected off Royals closer Joakim Soria (5-4) on a 1-1 pitch. It was Soria’s sixth blown save in 25 changes. Tony Sipp (6-2) pitched the top of the ninth. Soria hit Asdrubal Cabre- ra in the right foot with a pitch and Travis Hafner bounced into a forceout and was replaced by pinch runner Orlando Cabrera at first base. Carlos Santana then doubled down the third-base line to put run- ners on second and third.

C M Y K PAGE 6C SUNDAY, JULY 31, 2011 THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com ➛ N F L TL TL Kountry Wood Cabinets, Inc. WASHINGTON — It’s on to the next step for the NFL and its players, who are getting closer to a full-fledged collective bargain- ing agreement. “The NFL and NFLPA staffs have been working for the past few days on the final details of the new CBA,” league spokes- man Greg Aiello wrote in an email to The Associated Press on Saturday. A person familiar with the ne- gotiations confirmed to the AP that the NFL Players Association already re-established itself as a union. The person spoke on con- dition of anonymity because no announcement had been made by the NFLPA. Re-establishing the union was a key step needed to finish a CBA after the main parts of the deal to end the NFL’s 4 1 ⁄2-month lockout were agreed to by owners on July 21 and by players on Monday. Only a union can negotiate items such as drug testing, player con- duct policy and disability and pension programs. For the lockout to remain lift- ed and the season to proceed, those issues must be resolved and a full CBA completed by Thursday, a deadline both sides are confident will be met. In March, when federally me- diated talks in Washington be- tween owners and players broke down and the old CBA expired, the NFLPA said it was dissolving itself as a union and instead be- coming a trade association. That move allowed the players to sue the league under antitrust law, and10 did, including TomBrady, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees. That case was settled as part of the deal the sides have agreed to. But by decertifying, the NFLPA gave up its right to bar- gain on behalf of all players un- der labor law. That’s why the union needed to formagain in or- der to complete a CBA. Once the CBA is fully squared away, veteran free agents who have signed new contracts in the past few days will be allowed to practice with their teams. Those players are currently allowed to attend team meetings, work out individually and watch — but not participate — in practice. “It’s frustrating,” Buffalo Bills receiver/quarterback Brad Smith said after watching the team’s first walk-through of train- ing camp in suburban Rochester on Saturday. “It’s good. I can sit here and watch the guys go through the plays and learn the system. It hurts a little bit. But it’s a positive opportunity.” The former New York Jets multipurpose offensive star signed a four-year contract with the Bills on Friday. In addition to the Bills, at least the following teams had voted in favor of re-certification as of Sat- urday afternoon: Patriots, Chiefs, Broncos, Bengals, Cow- boys, Jaguars, Browns, Saints and Steelers, 49ers, Falcons, Gi- ants, Titans, Buccaneers and Bears. Giants player rep Kareem McKenzie said of his team’s unanimous vote: “The guys real- ly wanted to go ahead. Once they had an idea of what the deal en- compassed and all we gained, the guys really wanted to get back to work.” Said Broncos safety Brian Dawkins, a member of the NFLPA’s executive committee: “It was an easy sell.” While noting that the final CBA is not yet done, Dawkins was confident the final issues will be settled. “De and those guys will contin- ue to hash those things out,” he said, referring to NFLPA execu- tive director DeMaurice Smith. “We have nothing but 100 per- cent trust in De. He knows what we want. He knows what, obvi- ously, we need.” Source says players have recertified NFLPA Re-establishing union was key step into completing CBA between owners and players. By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Pro Football Writer chameleon, so I amgoing to blend in and do it the Patriot way, which is win. We had our talk, and with- out him(Belichick) evenhavingto saying anything — there is no need for some of the stuff I did be- fore. There’s no need for it.” The Patriots were among the biggest newsmakers in the league coming out of the lockout, agree- ing to trades for Ochocinco and Redskins defensivelinemanAlbert Haynesworth shortly after the NFL reopened for business. What’s most unusual: Neither player is what’s thought of as the usual type for Belichick, who pre- fers the quiet and businesslike to the guys who make headlines off the field. “I think every player on this team, every person on this team, has their own individual personal- ity,” Belichicksaid. “None of us are the same, sothat’s probably a good thing.” Ochocinco, who was originally ChadJohnson, has caught 751pas- ses for 10,783 yards and 66 touch- downs in his 10-year career. But he is perhaps better known for his touchdown celebrations, for changing his legal name to the Spanishwords for 8and5tomatch his uniform number, and for his prolific tweeting — almost 30,000 messages to more than 2.4 million Twitter followers. Belichick is not among them. “That’s not something I follow, as you know,” he said, smiling. So far, the biggest complication in Ochocinco’s arrival in New En- gland had been tight end Aaron Hernandez owning No. 85. Ocho- cinco said he didn’t have to pay himanything for the No. 85. (Her- nandez switched to No. 81.) “This was Mr. Hernandez’s way of greeting me here. He gave me thenumberandI didn’t havetopay anything, I just shookhis handand I said, ‘Thank you,’” Ochocinco said. “I drive a Toyota Prius, so I was going to let him use my Prius on the weekends, and that’s about the best I can do right now. I have some leftover McDonald’s cou- pons since I don’t eat there any- more.” A two-time Pro Bowl selection in Tennessee, Haynesworth’s tal- ent was completely overshadowed in Washington by his legal prob- lems andhis feudwithcoachMike Shanahan that ended with Thurs- day’s trade to the Patriots for a 2013 fifth-round draft pick. “All the trades we’ve been in- volved in through the years —the Ted Washingtons and the Corey Dillons andthe Randy Mosses and all —each one is different. Belich- ick said …“In the end, you just try to do what’s best for your football team.” Haynesworth, who repeatedly failed his conditioning test in Washington, did not practice on Saturday morning. “There are things we still need todowithAlbert for himtobeable to get on the practice field and when those things are done, he’ll be out there,” the coach said. OCHOCINCO Continued from Page 1C SPARTANBURG, S.C. — Cam Newtonquietly walkedaroundas cameras swarmed Carolina’s new kicker Olindo Mare. Newton peeked out from behind a lens and asked his Panthers’ team- mate, “How hot was it today?” Newton sure didn’t act like a No. 1 pick shortchanged by the rookie wage scale. The Heisman Trophy winner spoke Saturday for the first time since signing a four-year, $22 mil- lion contract with the Panthers. His deal was set by the newly bar- gained rookie scale that was part of the agreement between NFL owners and players. Newton took a major financial hit as the draft’s top selection, getting$56millionor soless than Sam Bradford’s $78 million, six- year deal he got as St. Louis’ No. 1 pick. “It really doesn’t matter,” New- ton said. “Either way you look at it, I’ve still got more money than I’ve ever had.” And Newton knows that he re- aches his potential onthefootball field, he’ll make up any financial disparity later. “In this league, they set stan- dards,” Newton said. “If you play the way they’re predicting you to play, you’re going to be all right either way it goes.” Newton was eager to take the field for his first practice at Wof- ford College later Saturday and said holding out was never an op- tion, even before the NFL lock- out. Hespent thetimeawaytrain- ing, working out with star Pan- thers receiver Steve Smith in some private sessions that proved to Newton the Panthers have plentyof offense despite last year’s dismal 2-14 showing. Newtonhopes he canbe part of that. He received the offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski’s playbook in April in the short time a judge lifted the NFL lock- out. Newton’s worked to learn what he can, but knows he can’t really progress until he gets back on the field. He’ll wear No. 1 at Panthers’ camp with quarterback rival Jimmy Clausen wearing No. 2, the jersey number Newton wore at Auburn during the 14-0 national championship season. Newton said he and Clausen talked about acquiring No. 2, but in the end thought it was best to start out fresh. “Rightfully so, since it was his number,” Newton said. He and Clausen have a healthy, friendly relationship so far and bothunderstandthat the quarter- back competition will make each one better for the Panthers. “I don’t want to give off a sit- uation where we hate each oth- er’s guts and we’re just out there running over each other,” New- ton said. “Jimmy is helping me andI hopeI’mhelpingJimmy. We want to bring out the best in each other.” There’ll be plenty of people hoping Newton can bring the best out in Carolina’s offense, which set a franchise low in points scored last year. The 6- foot-5 Newton knows he’ll have some help with that starting with Smith. The Panthers’ sometimes prickly receiver had nothing but glowing reviews for Newton in their workouts, whichapparently went a long way toward Smith wanting to remainwiththe team. Bothof Carolina’s headliners in the backfield, DeAngelo Wil- liams and Jonathan Stewart, re- turn and the Panthers picked up Chicagotight endGregOlsenina trade to bolster the receiving corps. “I don’t know about you guys, but I don’t know that I’ve ever seenanyone like him,” Olsensaid of his new quarterback. “Watch- ing him on TV is a whole lot dif- ferent than seeing him in person. He just has that something about him, that confidence.” Newton’s hopes he can carry that through camp and into the regular season. He said he’s pre- pared to work as hard as possible to show he’s ready for the NFL. “It’s exciting just to be around the football atmosphere again,” he said. Newton is thrilled to finally be in camp Quarterback has no hard feelings about getting $56M less than last year’s top pick. By PETE IACOBELLI AP Sports Writer AP PHOTO Carolina Panthers rookie quarterback Cam Newton, right, smiles as he looks through a camera as members of the media interview teammate Olindo Mare in Spartanburg, S.C., Saturday. EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Two-time Pro Bowl defen- sive end Osi Umenyiora has ended his holdout after a day and reported to the New York Giants. Umenyiora reported to training camp Saturday af- ternoon after missing the opening day of training camp at the team’s head- quarters. The 29-year-old failed to report Friday. He said during the sum- mer that he was unhappy with the team because gen- eral manager Jerry Reese failed to live up to a promise to renegotiate his contact af- ter last season. “I’ll be there today,” Ume- nyiora said in a email to The Associated Press around 3:20 p.m. Saturday. Neither Umenyiora nor Reese was available for com- ment after the player report- ed around 4 p.m. Coach Tom Coughlin said he spoke briefly with Ume- nyiora and that the defen- sive end didn’t have his physical because of his late arrival in the afternoon. Umenyiora started all 16 games last season and led the league with 10 forced fumbles. His 11 1 ⁄2 sacks tied Justin Tuck for the team lead. Tuck hinted earlier in the day that Umenyiora might return soon. “I think he realizes this is a business and he’s doing what’s best for him. You can’t blame him for that,” Tuck said. “A lot of people have dif- ferent opinions on how to handle the situation. You might not see eye-to-eye with how he handled it. He has to do what’s best for him. That’s all I tell him to do. My biggest concern is that he doesn’t do some- thing that’s going to hurt Osi.” Umenyiora ripped Reese in an affidavit filed by play- ers as part of an antitrust suit against the league dur- ing the recent lockout. Tuck felt the comments would not be a problem. “A couple years ago Mi- chael Strahan was in a simi- lar situation,” Tuck said. “He might’ve had a little bit more (leverage) being a fu- ture Hall of Famer. You’ve got to understand, we just got out of a tremendous business deal with just being able to come out here and play this game again. It is a business. “I think a lot of people get caught up in the loyalty to the game and things of that nature like the Giants in this situation. We’re definitely loyal to the team. But, in Osi’s situation, he feels as though he needs to do this.” Giants’ Umenyiora ends holdout after just 1 day By TOMCANAVAN AP Sports Writer “I think he realizes this is a business and he’s doing what’s best for him.

C OM/ S P ORT S PAGE 8C SUNDAY, JULY 31, 2011 THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com RIO DE JANEIRO — World champion Spain was drawn on Saturday with 1998 winner France, Georgia, Belarus and Fin- land in a qualifying group for the 2014 tournament — the first World Cup in Brazil in 64 years. The United States, featuring new coach Juergen Klinsmann, was drawn with Jamaica in a qualifying group from North and Central America and the Carib- bean. England was placed with 2012 European Championship co- hosts Ukraine and Poland in Group H. Montenegro, Moldova and San Marino also are in the group. “It will be interesting, there won’t be easy matches,” England coach Fabio Ca- pello said. “En- gland will have to be very careful, especially against Montenegro, Po- land and Uk- raine.” Italy will meet Denmark and the Czech Republic in Group B, while Germany faces Sweden, Austria and Ireland in Group C. “Sweden and Irelandare very strongteams and that makes the group interest- ing,” Germany general manager Oliver Bierhoff said. The draw will determine the path of 166 teams in their bid to qualify for the tournament in three years. It was the first major World Cup event in Brazil since the South American nation was awarded the competition in 2007. As host, Brazil is the only nation that doesn’t have to qual- ify. “We are happy to be back in Brazil,” FIFA President Sepp Blatter said. Fifty-three European nations were divided into nine groups, with the winners automatically qualifying and the eight best group runners-up advancing to a playoff. European qualifying matches begin Sept. 7 and end Oct. 15, 2013. Spain is in a difficult Group I, the only one with five teams in- stead of six. The Netherlands, last year’s runner-up in South Africa, was drawn in Group D with Turkey, Hungary and Romania, while Portugal will have to face Russia and Israel in Group F. Group A has Croatia, Serbia, Belgium and Scotland. Greece will play Slovakia in Group G, while Norway was drawn in Group E with Slovenia and Swit- zerland. The U.S. and Jamaica will face two teams in Group A. that will come from preliminary qualify- ing matches featuring Haiti, Gua- temala, the U.S. Virgin Islands and five other nations. Mexico is in Group Bwith Cos- ta Rica, while Cuba and Hondu- ras are in Group C. All three group winners and runners-up will advance to a final qualifying round, beginning February 2013. In Asia, Japan will face Uzbe- kistan, Syria and North Korea in Group C, while Australia will play Saudi Arabia, Oman and Thailand in Group D. Iran, Bahrain and Qatar were drawn in the same Group E, along with Indonesia, while Chi- na is inGroupAwithIraq, Jordan and Singapore. The African teams were divid- ed into 10 groups for qualifiers beginning in November. South Africa, last year’s World Cup host, was drawn in Group A along with Botswana. Ghana, the best African team last year, is in GroupDwithZambia andSudan. South America was not includ- ed in the draw because the conti- nent’s nine teams will be placed in a single group. They will play each other twice, home and away, with the top four finishers securing a World Cup spot. The fifth-place team will advance to an intercontinental playoff against a team from Asia. The other playoff will pit teams from CONCACAF and Oceania. The quali- fiers began June 15 and will end Nov. 19, 2013, after 824 match- es. Twenty- eight teams were elimi- nated in pre- liminary rounds be- fore Satur- day’s draw. The World Cup will be played fromJune 12 to Ju- ly 13, and the complete schedule will be announced in October. “Today, Brazil is admired for more than just football, music and its popular festivities,” Brazi- lian President Dilma Rousseff said at the draw. “I invite you to come visit us. You will find a country very well prepared for the World Cup.” About 1,000 protesters demon- strated near the draw, opposing the removal of families from ar- eas where the World Cup and the 2016 Rio Olympics will be held, Brazilian media reported. Some were also protesting the nearly $20 million of public funds said to have been spent for Saturday’s event. Riot troopers and mounted po- lice were negotiating to end the demonstration, which remained peaceful by the time the drawbe- gan. Some protesters held ban- ners criticizing Brazilian soccer federation president Ricardo Teixeira and FIFA. The total of 203 teams vying for a WorldCupspot surpasses by three the number that participa- ted four years ago. The only asso- ciations not to have signed up to compete this time are Bhutan, Brunei Darussalam, Guam and Mauritania. Seven nations have qualified for each of the last six World Cups — Argentina, Brazil, Ger- many, Italy, South Korea, Spain and the U.S. Germany has been the most successful team in World Cup qualifiers so far, with only two losses in 74 matches. Ronaldo, Neymar, Zico and Za- gallo were among the current and past Brazilian players partici- pating in the draw. More than 35 coaches and representatives from 104 national teams were in attendance. Rousseff, Pele and Michel Platini were also at Mari- na da Gloria harbor in Rio. Strong wind damaged part of the auditorium holding the draw just before the start, but workers fixed the problemin time and the event was not disrupted.

Qualifying draw held for 2014 tournament By TALES AZZONI Associated Press “Today, Brazil is admired for more than just foot- ball, music and its pop- ular festivities. I invite you to come visit us. You will find a country very well prepared for the World Cup.” Dilma Rousseff Brazilian president INDIANAPOLIS — Tony Stewart seemed to be on a date with destiny in both of his wins at Indianapolis Motor Speed- way, where there was an over- whelming sense in 2005 and 2007 that nothing could get in his way in the race to Victory Lane. Even though he seemed to be a lock both of those years, Stew- art never allowed himself to think the race was his for the taking. He’d suffered too many heartaches at the Brickyard to assume anything was a given. “I know how much this track can change. You can have a great race car in practice and then when you start the race, the conditions seem to change a little bit,” Stewart said. “It’s just a battle of trying to keep the car balanced all day. Even during the race, you can have a fast car at the beginning and lose the handle at the end. You have to make sure you have a car that’s adjustable all day.” Stewart doesn’t appear to be a lock to win today, but he should at least be a contender. His Stewart-Haas Racing team turned a corner two weeks ago at New Hampshire, where Ryan Newman led his boss to a 1-2 finish in both qualifying and the race. The roll continued into this week, when Stewart won his first ever World of Outlaws race. So his mood was sky high when he arrived at the Brick- yard. That’s a bit of a change for Stewart, who has admittedly gotten himself too stressed out about racing at the track he so adores. He had a shot to win the 1996 Indianapolis 500 as a rookie until a broken part ended his race on lap 82. He was leading in 1998 when his engine failed right after he’d moved to the front. Then came NASCAR, where Stewart was a threat to win in 2001 until he bounced off the wall racing with Dale Jarrett for the lead. He admitted after- ward, “I was just trying too hard.” The next year he led four times for 43 laps but faded at the end, and 2003 saw a slow final pit stop and a late caution ruin another chance. The 2005 victory came when Stewart had finally found some peace both with himself — he had moved home to Indiana earlier that year in a search for some serenity — and the track. That breakthrough win ended the love-hate relationship Stew- art always had with Indy. “I think I got by the hate part once we won the second one,” he said. “You love the place because of the history of it, because it’s home. The hate part was we worked so hard, led so many laps, couldn’t win. Once we won the race, think it took that side of the equation away, made it that much better. We got to enjoy it that much more afterward.” GORDON’S GUILT: With a record $119 million in winnings in his NASCAR career, Jeff Gordon is quite accustomed to the finer things in life. A fact-finding mission to Congo last week has left the four-time NASCAR champion feeling a bit guilty about the luxuries he enjoys. “It was an experience that will change me forever,” Gor- don said of last week’s trip with the Clinton Global Initiative. “I feel guilty about buying a bottle of water for two bucks. You look at your refrigerator and you go like, ‘Oh my gosh, there’s so much waste here.’ You just start looking at every aspect of your life and the things you take for granted.” Gordon made the 28-hour flight to Africa following the July 17 race at New Hampshire. He spent almost three days in Congo, where he saw children walking barefoot along busy roads and women carrying sacks of coal on their backs. The father of two young chil- dren said he didn’t expect to see such struggles. DALE AND DANICA: Dale Earnhardt Jr. would love the opportunity to give Danica Patrick a full-time job in NAS- CAR. Patrick could leave IndyCar at the end of this season to focus only on NASCAR. She’s so far driven 19 Nationwide Series races for Earnhardt’s JR Motorsports team. “I would like for her to run full-time and I’m sure she is considering that, and I think she would enjoy it,” Earnhardt said. But he said he’s unsure of what Patrick will do, even though he believes she’s happy at JRM. Patrick has developed a decent rapport with crew chief Tony Eury Jr., and flirted with victory earlier this month at Daytona, where she led 13 laps before the last-lap chaos dropped her to a 10th-place finish. “I feel confident that she’s content where she is and happy with what we’re doing. I think things are looking positive for us to put something together,” he said. “I think she’s doing great. She’s way ahead of the curve. We’ve had the opportuni- ty to put several drivers in that car and her performance is right on par with all those driv- ers. “We started out struggling and she had a steep, steep climb to go and she’s really come a long way. I’m excited about what the potential is with her going forward.” Patrick has six more sched- uled NASCAR starts this sea- son. DRIVER SAFETY: Kyle Busch plans to work with the B.R.A.K.E.S young driver safety program in the wake of his recent speeding ticket. Busch was ticketed for driv- ing 128 mph in a 45 mph zone in a loaned Lexus in May. Now he’ll partner with the program — Be Responsible And Keep Everyone Safe -- that was found- ed in 2008 after drag racer Doug Herbert lost two sons in a car accident. Busch will do public service announcements and have mon- etary donations through the Kyle Busch Foundation. “Those guys have a great program and do a lot of great work for kids that may not know exactly what driving a car entails,” Busch said. “It’s cer- tainly a lot more than just being able to make it from point A to point B sometimes. I’ll be work- ing toward about 300 of those new kids getting through the program and taking some initia- tive there to help them through it and give them some advice and give them my story.” Busch is due in court Aug. 23 on charges of speeding and reckless driving. A U T O R A C I N G Stewart optimistic about Brickyard AP PHOTO Tony Stewart, right, talks with fellow driver Kasey Kahne during practice for the NASCAR Brickyard 400 Saturday. By JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer Johnson, the five-time defend- ingseries champion, fell tothird. His lap of 182.801 mph in his Hendrick Motorsports Chevro- let had led the qualifying session until the late runs by Ragan and Kahne. He wasn’t upset though, and knows his past success at Indy will come into play today. “This track is clearly unique and we don’t race on anything else like it,” Johnson said. “When you get it right, you have an advantage.” Penske Racing teammates Kurt BuschandBradKeselowski qualified fourth and fifth in their Dodges for today’s race, and the drivers have already heard from team owner Roger Penske on what they’ll need to do to win. “He made a phone call last night and reminded us that we needed to try two tires in prac- tice,” Keselowski said.“He’s got this whole game plan and how the strategy is going to play out. He definitely studies this race. He loves coming here.” AJ Allmendinger, Juan Pablo Montoya, Jeff Gordon, Matt Ken- seth and series points leader Carl Edwards rounded out the top 10. DavidStremme, Travis Kvapil, Erik Darnell, JJ Yeley and Scott Wimmer were the five drivers who failed to qualify for the race. Denny Hamlin qualified 14th, but he’ll have to drop to the back of the field at the start of the race as a penalty for changing his en- gine. The move was necessary be- cause the engine inhis Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota blew up late in Friday’s final practice. It’s at least the11th engine fail- ure by a JGRcar this season, and comes as speculation mounts that the team will close its en- gine shop and lease engines next season frommanufacturer Toyo- ta.

Browne, never a winner in his three years of competition since turning 50, set the tournament record for lowest score through 54 holes. After a record-tying 64 followed by a 69, he’s at 15- under 198. O’Meara, winner of the 1998 Masters and British Open, had a 66 in a head-to-head duel. Play- ing in the same pairing, he pulled even with Browne with a birdie at the ninth hole but Browne had five birdies on the difficult back nine. Heading into the final round, it’s apparently a two-man race. Six shots off the pace at 9-under 204 are Jeff Sluman (65), Peter Senior (68), Joey Sindelar (69) and Mark Calcavecchia (69). Browne is trying to join Si- mon Hobday, who won at Pine- hurst No. 2 in 1994, as the only wire-to-wire winners in the tournament’s 32 years. His 54-hole total was one better than Hobday’s 199. Browne began the day with a one-shot edge on O’Meara. They matched each other swing for swing, putt for putt, throughout a day of scorching heat and high humidity at Inverness Club. Both birdied the fourth hole, with O’Meara falling two back with a bogey on the next hole. Birdies on holes 8 and 9 helped O’Meara catch Browne heading to the back nine at the old Do- nald Ross layout, which plays to a par of 37 on the front but doesn’t have a par-5 hole and plays to a 34 on the last nine. Browne hit a wedge to 18 inches for birdie on the 10th hole and took off. He built a three-stroke lead with two more birdies through 13. O’Meara birdied the 17th and 18th to pull within a shot, but each time Browne — with three wins on his PGA Tour resume, the last the 2005 Deutsche Bank — dropped in a birdie putt im- mediately on top of O’Meara’s. Inverness again remained defenseless despite sun and high temperatures. The course was hit with almost 4 inches of rain in the last week, with a huge thunderstorm on Friday morn- ing delaying play and forcing 21 players to return to the course on Saturday morning to com- plete the second round. Barely staying in range of Browne and O’Meara are Hale Irwin, who shot his age (66), along with New Mexico club pro Jeff Roth (68) and Michael Allen (71), all at 7-under 206. Tied for 10th and nine shots back came a who’s who of senior golf, including defending cham- pion Bernhard Langer (68), Hal Sutton (66), Nick Price (68), Jay Haas (68), Steve Jones (69) and Corey Pavin (70). Kim leads by 1 at Greenbrier WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. — Golf is fun again for Anthony Kim. The Greenbrier Classic is helping solidify that. Kim shot an 8-under-par 62 Saturday for a one-stroke edge over PGA Tour rookie Scott Stallings after the third round on the Old White TPC course. Kim’s low round of the year left him at 10 under with a chance to advance to next week’s Bridgestone Invitational with a win. He hasn’t missed Firestone since his rookie year in 2007. A third place-or-better finish would put him in position to earn a spot in the PGA Cham- pionship in two weeks in Atlanta heading into the FedEx Cup playoffs. “I haven’t had this much fun playing golf in a long time,” Kim said. Stallings shot 66 to move into second place at 9 under. Gary Woodland (67) and second round co-leader Webb Simpson (69) were two strokes back. Kim’s last victory came a year ago at the Shell Houston Open before he underwent thumb surgery and took three months off. He’s had an up-and-down year, with eight missed cuts and two top 10s in 21 events. Kim tied for fifth at the Brit- ish Open earlier this month after making it as an alternate. But last week he was disqualified from the Canadian Open after signing for a score other than an 11-over 81 in the second round. Kim credited a talk he had after the disqualification with his mother, whom he termed a “great golf psychologist.” “It was just about having fun, relaxing and enjoying the posi- tion I’m in because I’m very fortunate to be playing golf for a living,” he said. “Sometimes you forget about that. I was pretty upset about my 81 and she no- ticed somebody in the gallery who was less fortunate. We talked about that and I came out here ready to play some golf and have a good time.” That’s a stark contrast to the first six months of the year, in which Kim said he didn’t want to be on the golf course because he wasn’t sure where his shots would end up. “People may think I’m exag- gerating, but that’s how tough this game got for me,” Kim said. “Going back to the basics is really what helped my game. Because without that, I would still be struggling.” Kim made eight birdies, tying his total from the first two rounds combined. All of his birdies Saturday came from inside 10 feet. His 113-yard wedge to within a foot of the pin at the par-4 14th gave him the outright lead. “I was just hitting smart golf shots,” he said. “I was starting to think my way around the course instead of just get up to a tee and the fairways are 40 yards wide and the rough is not that penal and just try to hit it as hard as I can. That’s not how you play golf.” Stallings had missed the cut in seven of 13 previous events since a third-place finish in the Transitions Championship. Starting the day two strokes out of the lead, Stallings made four birdies. He missed a 34- footer for eagle at the par-5 17th that would have tied him with Kim, then missed a 13-footer at No. 18. Stallings has gone 42 straight holes without a bogey and will be in his first final pairing. “It’s my rookie year,” Stallings said. “I’m three-fourths of the way through. I’m sitting here just kind of pinching myself every single day to have the opportunity to play out here.” The Old White TPC under- went a makeover after Stuart Appleby shot 59 in last year’s final round to beat Jeff Overton by a stroke at 22 under. The talk all week had been about how the course’s lengthened tees and reseeded, firm greens would make low scores impossible. Jimmy Walker, who advanced to weekend play on the cut line, and Kim changed all that. Walker posted a career-best round 62 and also matched Kim’s birdie total. “You’ve got nothing to lose when you’re at the back of the pack,” Walker said. “I told my wife last night, let’s go out and attack, see what happens. It worked.” Those low scores were aided by the course’s setup. Some tees were moved up and many pin placements were favorable com- pared to Friday, when Phil Mick- elson called the course “brutally difficult.” The field’s scoring average of 69.3 strokes was two better than Friday. “The greens felt a lot softer today,” Walker said. “You could see they were receptive right off the bat.” Walker was three strokes out of the lead along with Bill Haas (65) and Chris Couch (67). Second-round co-leader Bren- don de Jonge made two bogeys and a double-bogey on his first seven holes, shot 72 and fell into a group of seven golfers five shots back. First-round leader Trevor Immelman, seeking his first win since the 2008 Masters, went 23 holes without a bogey before a double bogey on the par-4 13th. He made four bogeys and a birdie after that, shot 73 and trailed by seven strokes. Masson leads Women’s British Open CARNOUSTIE, Scotland — Caroline Masson of Germany shot a 4-under 68 to double her lead to two strokes after the third round at the Women’s British Open on Saturday. The 22-year-old Masson made three birdies in the front nine and three on the back to hold off a late charge from Yani Tseng. The top-ranked Taiwenese play- er closed within a shot at one stage after picking up five strokes in as many holes, in- cluding an eagle. “I was quite nervous at the start,” said Masson, who has totaled 15-under 201. “I hit a poor tee shot at the first and then three-putted from 40 feet, but I settled down with a birdie at the next when I hit my 5-iron to 7 feet and holed it. “I hit some really good shot out there today and really en- joyed it. The wind was a bit stronger and there were some tough pin positions.” Masson birdied No. 5 with a lay-up to 10 feet and the long No. 6 with an approach to 30 feet and two putts. At No. 11, she holed from 7 feet, then got up and down from a greenside bunker at the long 14th for an- other birdie. Her last was at No. 17 but she dropped a shot at the next after hitting into another greenside bunker.

Mow- ing lawns gives you too much time to think, too much time to worry about a future that’s sudden- ly very uncertain. It’s at night when he’s lifting weights and running that his head begins to clear. Then there’s a goal, and some newtotals to jot down in the journal that helps him prepare forthelast football seasonof hislife. Hegets comfort fromtheroutine because he’s been doing it most of his life. Talent wasn’t going to get him anywhere, so he became the classic overachiever. “Football has always been my life,” Paksi said. “I don’t knowwhat my life would be like without it.” His plan had always been to an- chor the defensive line this season for tiny Albion College in one final year of glory on the field. But life isn’t just about football anymore. Paksi foundout just after thefirst of the year that he has a cancer so rare it took doctors weeks to figure out what was wrong with him. Withnoknowncure, theonlytreat- ment is to get a newliver. If there is any good news it’s that the cancer is slow growing and so far hasn’t spread beyond the liver. Paksi was scheduledto have anoth- er MRI on Saturday just to make sure. His name should be on a liver transplant waiting list by now, but it’s not. Paksi will take his chances for afewmoremonths, determined not tolet cancer robhimof aseason that means so much. To Paksi it’s simple. He’s a foot- ball player. “I’m getting so excited for the season,” he said. “I don’t want tobe down, I want to be up high.” Paksi didn’t have to look far for inspirationwhenhe was diagnosed with Epithelioid hemangioendoth- elioma, a cancer diagnosed in only a few hundred people each year in the United States. The day he found out he went to a Relay for Life cancer meeting on campus, where he met a woman who was a liver cancer survivor. Not long after he learned about Mark Herzlich, the Boston College linebacker who missed a season to bone cancer and is now trying to maketheNewYorkGiants as aroo- kiefreeagent. He’s got anarticleon Herzlich’s battle pasted in his jour- nal, and he reads it during times that he’s down. I wroteabout Herzlichafewdays ago, whichishowPaksi andI ended up connecting on the phone. His girlfriend, Samantha Cornish, wrote to let me know how impor- tant Herzlich’s fight was to Paksi. Their storiesaresimilar, their de- termination much the same. Both lovethegamesomuchthat theyre- fuse to let cancer take it away. But whileHerzlichwas astar at a big school, a prospect so good that hewas onceconsideredalocktobe pickedinthe first roundof the NFL draft, Paksi plays Division III foot- ball for a school of just 1,650 in south-central Michigan. The21-year-oldpayshisownway just like the other players at Albion. He’s undersized at 5-foot-11, 240 pounds andheunderstandsthereis no career on the field once his se- nior season is over. He has only one year left to play. The newliver will have to wait. “It brings me downsometimes. I start thinkingthat I’mhealthy, I’ma healthy kidandwhat didI dotode- serve this,” Paksi said. “But this summer I’ve been focusing and try- ing not to think about it. I’mtrying to live my life like it was before I knewabout it.” Paksi hasn’t told many people about his condition. His fraternity brothers know, and so do a few teammates. And, of course, his coach. “Springwasthetimehegot most worried because he wasn’t sure if hewouldhavethetransplant before the season,” Albion coach Craig Rundle said. “He’s handled it a lot better than I would have. He’s ac- cepted what it is and has a positive attitude.” Rundle said Paksi is the kind of player whoalways hadtoworkhar- der than the next player to win a spot onthefield. Heblossomedlast year at Albion, making eight tack- les one week in a win over Olivet, and is the only returning starter on the defensive line. “He’s a throwback player,” Run- dle said. “He’s a real humble guy, never worries about himself, just about the team. He’s probably thought more about the team through all this than he has about himself.” Indeed, the team was on Paksi’s mindwhenwetalkedonthephone. With practice less than two weeks away, the excitement was building to see if a summer spent mowing lawns and lifting weights would pay off in one big final season. TheBritons, whohavebeenplay- ingfootball since1888, finishedsec- ond the last two seasons in the Mi- chigan Intercollegiate Athletic As- sociation conference. This year, Paksi figures they have a chance to upset conference powerhouse Trine University and win the title. Paksi knows all the dates. The opener is Sept. 3 at Butler, and the last game is home Nov. 12 at Spran- kle-Sprandel Stadiumon the north bank of the Kalamazoo River against Trine. One last date is Nov. 21. That’s when he has an appointment for some final tests before his name goes on the transplant list. Football will beover then. Ahead will be months of waiting for a new liver, months of worrying about what might go wrong. “It’s my life, not just my football life, andthat’s what makes it sucha bummer,” Paksi said. “I mean, I’m only 21 and I haven’t even gradu- ated college.” The only comfort for Paksi is he’ll havehis final season. He’ll play football one last time. He’s not about to let cancer take that away. Man to play final season of football, THEN worry about cancerous liver OPINION T I M D A H L B E R G SHANGHAI — Michael Phelps easily won the 100-meter butterfly, then ceded the spotlight to Missy Franklin, swimming’s newest breakout star who made a splash on her final night at the world championships. Without Milorad Cavic pushing him, Phelps scowled upon seeing his time of 50.71 seconds Saturday night. Too slow for his liking, it was still good enough to earn him a second individu- al gold medal and his sixth overall with one day remaining in the meet. Franklin won two more golds to leave the worlds with five medals overall — three gold, a silver and a bronze. As he watched her, Phelps recalled his first world meet in 2001 as a 15-year- old who set a world record. “I kind of remember myself being like that, full of energy all the time,” he said. “She’s just happy, just enjoying everything, she’s never tired, she’s always swimming fast. She’s really been able to come on the scene strong. I’ve said this all along, she’s a stud.” With a nickname to match — “Missile Missy,” bestowed by her father four years ago. The 16-year-old phenom has energized the en- tire U.S. team and coaching staff with her bubbly personality, wide smile revealing a mouth full of braces, and impressive maturity. “She’s genuinely happy and excited to race, more so than any swimmer on this team,” U.S. women’s co-captain Natalie Coughlin said. “It’s unbelievably refreshing to have her energy on the team.” Franklin led all the way to win the 200 back- stroke, then anchored the U.S. women to victory in the 400 medley relay. She accomplished so much at these worlds that her coach Todd Schmitz had to shave off his goatee as payback. “I’ve never been this happy in my entire life. It has been such an incredible meet,” Franklin said. “I couldn’t ask for anything better.” Listening to her, Coughlin laughed and said, “See what I mean? So excited to be here.” Franklin set two American records, winning the 200 back in 2 minutes, 5.10 seconds — third fastest ever — and the medley relay in 3:52.36, along with Coughlin, Rebecca Soni and Dana Vollmer. The teenager from Centennial, Colo., an- chored the Americans’ victory in the 4x200 frees- tyle relay on Thursday, when she swam faster than Italy’s Federica Pellegrini did in winning the individual 200 free. Franklin finished nearly a second in front of 200 back silver medalist Belinda Hocking of Aus- tralia, while Sharon van Rouwendaal of the Neth- erlands took bronze, another 2.68 seconds be- hind. Franklin was asked if she was the female Phelps, a comparison that made Schmitz chafe, but one she handled with aplomb. “It’s hard to compare yourself to someone who is just that unbelievable at what he does,” Fran- klin said. “So right now I’m just going to stick to swimming my races and just being me and hav- ing fun with it.” Phelps won the 100 fly in 50.71 seconds after rallying from third at the turn. Konrad Czerniak of Poland took the silver at 51.15 while another American, Tyler McGill, earned bronze in 51.26. “It’s definitely more comfortable having this than having a hundredth win,” Phelps said, re- ferring to his victory by a hundredth of a second over Cavic at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Cavic, who is still regaining his form following back surgery, didn’t advance out of the prelimin- aries. Phelps has three golds, two silvers and a bronze with one more event to go — the 4x100 medley relay today.

By BETH HARRIS AP Sports Writer BUDAPEST, Hungary — Asafa Powell won the 100-meter race in 9.86 seconds at the Hungarian Grand Prix on Saturday, the fastest run in the coun- try. The Jamaican was the only competitor to run under 10 seconds in windy conditions and 68-de- gree temperature at Ferenc Puskas Stadium, fin- ishing ahead of Ngonidzashe Makusha of Zimbabwe and Andrew Hinds of Barbados. “I could have gone a lot faster today but I was working on some stuff,” said Powell, whose person- al best is 9.72. “It was cold and I was a bit cautious. It was still a good time.” Powell will compete at the Aviva Grand Prix Dia- mond League meet in London next weekend. It’s his last race before the world championships, which start Aug. 27 in Daegu, South Korea. “This is my year and I’ll try my best. We’ll see if it’s enough for a gold medal (at the worlds),” said Powell, who won bronze in the 100 at the worlds in 2007 and 2009. Veronica Campbell-Brown of Jamaica won the women’s 200 in 22.26 seconds, with Sanya Ri- chards-Ross of the United States second in 22.63. Blessing Okagbare of Nigeria was third. Joel Craddock led an American sweep of the top three spots in the 110 hurdles, winning in 13.48. Kevin Craddock was second, followed by Jeff Por- ter. Kevin Borlee of Belgium took the 400 in 45.91, followed by Hungary’s Marcell Deak Nagy and Eri- son Hurtault of France. Double-amputee Oscar Pistorius of South Africa, who runs on carbon-fiber blades and qualified for the able-bodied worlds for the first time earlier this month, was last in the 400 after finishing in 47.47. “This is a really beautiful city and the crowd was really supportive. I’m just sorry I couldn’t give them a quicker time,” Pistorius said. “I hope to return one day and give them a better race.” The tournament was the inaugural edition of the Istvan Gyulai Memorial, commemorating the late Secretary General of the IAAF who died in 2006. He was a sprinter in his youth, winning 28 national championships in Hungary.

Back then, the beavers had just moved into the area and began to con- struct a small mud-packed dam across the stream. Water was beginning to pool into the grassy swamp and I knew the landscape was about to change if the beavers remained. Last week my father and I returned to the site to see what the beavers had created. What we found was a different world. The dam had now grown into an impressive structure more than five feet high in spots that stretched across the stream and well into the woods on each side. The wetlands behind the dam sit in a bowl flanked by two gradu- al hillsides, and the beavers had suc- cessfully dammed the open end. Getting into the wetlands, however, wasn’t an easy task. To do it, we used a beat-up 10-foot jon boat and a pair of oars. Thick grass and blueberry bushes partially submerged in knee-deep wa- ter encompassed the swamp. If we wanted to see the pond that the bea- vers created, we had to get through the jungle-like vegetation first. Beaver trails wound through the vegetation, so we followed one with the boat for 100 yards before the water- choked vegetation gave way to an open pond more than five feet deep about an acre in size. Gliding out onto the new- ly-created beaver pond in the middle of the woods conjured up images of a pristine wilderness yet to be discov- ered. Small chubs, brook trout and newts darted away as we glided quietly out onto the pond’s surface. The calls of bullfrogs and green frogs emanated from the weeds and dozens of brightly colored dragonflies buzzed overhead as we explored every inch of the pond. Muskrat sign was evident on floating logs and feathers from ducks could be seen on a large boulder that they used to get out of the water and preen them- selves. These were all just some of the ex- amples of the types of wildlife that had already been attracted to the new bea- ver pond. After taking a break from the morn- ing expedition, I returned to the pond later to search for something else. A beaver hut. Upstream, above the two small dams, there was a hut that the beavers constructed over the winter but was now abandoned. I knew the beavers had to have a newer hut somewhere, but I couldn’t find it despite exploring every corner of the swamp. Except one. As I glided the boat back to the main dam, I spied a watery trail that dis- appeared into the tall grass away from the pond. The trail was too narrow for the little jon boat, so I climbed out, pulled up my hip boots and followed the path. The water was two to three feet deep in the trail, but the grass and brush choked it down to a small corridor. I knew the trail had to lead to some- thing, so I hunkered down and fought through the junglelike vegetation. After trudging another 50 yards, the trail curved into a flooded grove of small maple trees. I pulled back the limbs of blueberry bushes and stepped inside the flooded grove to find an enormous hut standing tall and seclud- ed among shade of the maples. Freshly cut sticks and damp mud fortified this hut, which rose at least four feet above the water’s surface. It was clear that the beavers weren’t satisified with their other living quar- ters at the other end of the swamp and opted to build somewhere a bit more secluded. I stood in the flooded grove for a few minutes, admiring the hut and appre- ciating the new world that the beavers had created. It’s one that will continue to change and I’ll continue to explore.

Reach him at tvenesky@time- sleader.com Goose, dove seasons set Early Canada goose and dove hun- ters will be able to take to the fields of Penn’s Woods on Sept. 1 as part of Pennsylvania’s 2011-12 migratory bird seasons. Dove hunters will have the opportu- nity to participate in a triple-split sea- son, which will see some shifts due to the way the calendar falls this year. During the first season (Sept. 1-Oct. 1), hunting will start at noon and close at sunset daily. The second and third splits will be Oct. 29-Nov. 26, and Dec. 26-Jan 4, with hunting hours a half-hour before sunrise until sunset. In all three seasons, the daily bag limit will be 15, and the possession limit will be 30. The early statewide season for resi- dent Canada geese will open Sept. 1, and continue through Sept. 24. The early season retains a daily bag limit of eight Canada geese and possession limit of 16. As noted, young Pennsylvania hun- ters will be provided with an extra day of waterfowl hunting. Saturday, Sept. 17 and Saturday Sept. 24 are Youth Waterfowl Days, which previously were limited to one day. They are open to those 12 to 15 years old who hold a junior hunting license. To participate, a youngster must be accompanied by an adult, who may assist the youth in calling, duck identification and other aspects of the hunt. During this special two-day-long hunt, youth can harvest ducks, mergansers, coots and moor- hens. Youth Waterfowl Days bag limits for ducks, mergansers and coots will be consistent with the limit for the regular season, which will be announced in mid-August, after the annual Waterfowl Symposium on Aug. 5. Pennsylvania’s woodcock season also has been expanded an extra two weeks. This year, woodcock season will open Oct. 15, and continue through Nov. 26. The daily limit remains three, and the possession limit is six. Migratory game bird hunters, in- cluding those afield for doves and woodcock, are required to obtain and carry a Pennsylvania migratory game bird license ($3.70 for residents, $6.70 for nonresidents), as well as a general hunting, combination or lifetime li- cense. All waterfowl hunters age 16 and older also must possess a federal migra- tory game bird and conservation (duck) stamp. The “Pennsylvania 2011-12 Guide to Migratory Bird Hunting” brochure will be posted on the Game Commission’s website (www.pgc.state.pa.us) in mid- August, and the mass-produced bro- chure should be available at U.S. Post Offices in the state by the end of Au- gust. Hunters are encouraged to report leg-banded migratory game bird recov- eries online at www.reportband.gov, or use the toll-free number (1-800-327- BAND). Hunters will be requested to provide information on where, when and what species were taken, in addi- tion to the band number. This informa- tion is crucial to the successful manage- ment of migratory game birds. Trout Unlimited reports on drilling Trout Unlimited (TU) supports many of the recommendations from the Pennsylvania Marcellus Shale Advisory Commission for improving the com- monwealth’s oversight and manage- ment of natural gas development. While a step in the right direction, TU calls for additional protections neces- sary to limit impacts of Marcellus Shale development on fish, wildlife and water resources. The commission released its final report recently to Gov. Tom Corbett. “The commission’s recommendation to increase the distance from the edge of the well pad to a stream or water body is an improvement over existing regulations,” said Ken Undercoffer, president of the Pennsylvania Council OUTDOORS NEWS See NEWS, Page 13C Jerry Bavitz stood near the boat launch at Frances SlocumLake earlier this month and watched as dozens of kids sawed, drilled and hammered a myriad of wooden structures. The kids – all members of the Back Mountain Harvest Assembly’s Youth Wilderness Experience, were helping build five porcupine fish habitats and nine turtle basking platforms to be depos- ited in the lake. For the kids, the fact that they were building something to help wild- life was reason enough to generate enthusiasm. For Bavitz, who is a World War II veteran and lifelong outdoors- man, his enthusiasm came fromseeing the kids enjoy their time outdoors while doing something to benefit wildlife. “They’re doing a great job,” Bavitz said. “Pro- jects like this set them down the right path.” For the last 11years, Bavitz and other mem- bers of the Nanticoke Conservation Club along with officials fromthe Pennsylva- nia Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) came out to the park for one evening each summer to build the habitat struc- tures for the lake. While the porcupine structures – a pyramid-shaped arrange- ment of two-inch boards used as a shel- ter by smaller fish, have been built and deposited into the lake each year by the club, last week they added something newto the list. The club decided to build several turtle basking platforms this summer based on the results of a lake assessment by the PFBC. Mike Swartz, assistant habitat manager for the agency’s Lake Section, said Frances SlocumLake is loaded with shallow, marshy areas that make it a prime place for turtles. The only ingredient missing are trees or floating logs, and the basking platforms are designed to remedy that. “The platforms allowthe turtles to get up out of the water and bask in the sun and absorb the heat,” Swartz said. “A lake this size can support 20 more platforms and we’ve seen as many as16 turtles at a time using one.” The platforms are placed in three to five feet of water and within100 feet of the shore. While the kids of the Youth Wilder- ness Experience never built a platform before, they were well aware of howimpor- tant they are for turtles. “It helps the turtles so they can get out in the sun and raise their body temper- ature, and that helps themdigest their food,” said12-year-old Connor Jenkins as he took a break fromoperating a cord- less drill. “It’s hard work, but it makes me feel good knowing I’mhelping wildlife.” Ten-year-old Jena Simmons spent her time helping to build porcupine fish habitats. Like Jenkins, she was well- versed on why the structures are vital to fish. “They give protection to the small fish so they don’t have to worry about getting eaten by the bigger fish in the lake,” Simmons said. “They can be protected and growlarger.” Joe Rutchauskas, who organized the habitat project for the conservation club, said both the turtle and fish structures are built out of hemlock and should last about 20 years. He said the club is talk- ing about adding more rock habitats as well. “We enjoy doing these projects each year and it’s something the club looks forward to,” Rutchauskas said. “You really get a sense of satisfaction fromit knowing that you’re helping wildlife.” Gary Farber, one of the founders of the Youth Wilderness Experience, said the habitat project was a good way to get the kids outdoors and away fromvideo games. Still, there was another benefit that Farber didn’t anticipate. “You see the guys fromthe club out here who have been doing these things all their lives, and then the kids who are just getting involved working right with them,” Farber said. “They’re connected with the club members and the Fish and Boat Commission doing something hands on for wildlife. It’s an experience that will stay with themfor a long time.” Porcupine fish habitats, turtle basking platforms built ALEXANDRIA ANTONACCI/FOR THE TIMES LEADER Ben Paige drives Jackson Wydra, Mya Farber and Hunter Woods across Frances Slocum Lake to deposit a turtle basking plat- form.

County conserva- tion districts have soil and water management expertise and are based in the region where drill- ing occurs. The conservation districts know the territory and the local environment and are thus well positioned to inspect a site’s erosion control practices. The report also recommends that the DEP be given the expli- cit authority to require a water management plan, which allows the agency to issue a permit for a water withdrawal to a gas company. TU supports consis- tent statewide regulation of water withdrawals for the gas industry and other large water users across the state. “The commission’s recom- mendation to limit gas lease agreements on state forest lands to those that result in ‘no or minimal surface disturbance’ does not go far enough toward protecting these areas,” said Dunlap. “With one-third of Penn- sylvania’s forests already leased, a full cumulative impact study should be conducted by the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) before considering leasing addi- tional state forest lands—the places where Pennsylvanians fish and hunt.” The commission’s recom- mendations represent the points of agreement among agencies, industry and conservation orga- nizations. It is imperative that Pennsylvania decision-makers do not let pass this rare opportunity to strengthen the state’s over- sight of gas development. TU calls on the Pennsylvania Gener- al Assembly to move swiftly to adopt legislation this fall that gives the DEP and other state agencies the appropriate author- ity and resources to adequately regulate the impacts of Marcel- lus Shale development on rivers, streams, forests, fish and wild- life.

What has been left out of the equation is the humidity, which will remain comfort- ably low through tonight.

Enjoy what's left of this wonderful summer week- end! -Ryan Coyle NATIONAL FORECAST: High pressure will provide sunshine and pleasant conditions from the Ohio Valley into much of the Northeast today. Behind the high, a frontal boundary will trigger a few show- ers and thunderstorms over the western Great Lakes. Meanwhile, a moist and unstable air mass will remain in place, fueling thunderstorms over the Southeast.

Oftenless attention goes into selecting college student loans. The decisiongets shuntedaside or made inaninstant because tuitionis due, loans have confusing names andthe financial aidoffice at your college may provide little guidance. Many students assume all loans are similar —a mistake that can inflict thousands of dollars inunneces- sary debt. Evenif your financial aidoffice isn’t particularly helpful, youcanidentify the best loans yourself. Start witha telephone call to your college financial aidoffice director, and take the initiative by asking whether you might still qualify for any grants or schol- arships that youhave not yet requested. If youcome froma modest-income family, ask about Pell Grants, whichcanprovide up to $5,500 inmoney that does not have to be repaid. Thenask if youcantap any state grants inyour home state or the state where youare attending school. Also try calling your state government’s department of education. After tapping as muchfree money as possible, your next step is to choose student loans. Youwant to turnfirst to loans fromthe federal government rather thanprivate loans that come froma bank or nongovernment lender. Again, you shouldbe directedto federal loanapplica- tions by your college financial aidoffice. Youcanget additional informationat students.gov. The paperwork fromyour financial aid office will probably give youa choice betweensubsidizedor unsubsidized Staffordloans. If youqualify, take the subsidizedStaffordloans, whichcarry a $19,000 limit for four years of undergrad- uate studies. Subsidizedmeans the gov- ernment reduces your costs by absorbing interest during in-school deferment and provides a very lowinterest rate, of 3.4 percent, for loans originatedduring the 2011-12 academic year. That’s a lot better thanthe 6.8 percent onthe regular Staffordloan. Also, be- cause interest onanunsubsidizedloan accumulates while youare inschool, your balance wouldbe about 16 percent higher comparedwitha subsidizedloan, said Mark Kantrowitz, publisher of FinAid. Keep inmindthat for 2012-13, the sub- sidized-loanrate increases to matchthe rate for anunsubsidizedloan. Typically, if your family’s income is no higher than$50,000 youwill be ina good positionto qualify for a subsidizedloan. More than$100,000 makes it unlikely but not impossible. Factors like having retired parents or multiple siblings incollege will affect eligibility. Cost of the college also canmake a difference, Kantrowitz said. If youcan’t get a subsidizedloan, choose the regular Staffordloan. Also, ask your college financial aidoffice if youcan get a Perkins loan. These are federal loans witha 5 percent interest rate, andthey go to students who have lower incomes than most students at a particular college. So if youcome froma middle-income family, but attenda college that attracts affluent students, youmight qualify for a Perkins loanat that college, eventhoughyou wouldn’t at a community college with many low-income students. If youare like many students, you might findthat the federal loans youare offeredare not adequate to cover all your costs. Inthat case, your parents canbor- rowadditional money using what are calledPLUSloans. The interest rate is set at 7.9 percent. Another alternative: private loans. But beware. Althoughfederal loans all have fixedrates, that will never increase dur- ing the10 years youpay themoff, that’s not the case withmany private student loans. They might have a starter interest rate that looks attractive, but witha varia- ble rate that canincrease continually over 10 years. So the rate might climb well past the 7.9 percent onparent PLUS loans.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — If you’re not feeling a lender’s love, you’ll soon knowexactlywhyyougot jilted.

You’ll also get a list of the rea- sons whyyougot rejected. Dittoif you get a less-than-favorable interest rate ona newloan. Somecreditexpertscallthenewdis- closure rules a historic change in how consumers aretreatedbylenders. It’s all part of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protec- tionAct, whichCongress enactedlast year togiveconsumers moreclarityin their financial life. Thelegislationalso created a new Consumer Financial ProtectionBureau. The bureau’s mission is to ensure that consumers know exactly what they’re gettingwithmortgages, credit cards, loans and other financial prod- ucts. Or as the fledglingbureau’s web- site (consumerfinance.gov) notes: It’s to ensure that “prices are clear up front, that risks are visible, and that nothingis buriedinfineprint.” And part of that clarity is knowing whyyougot dingedbya lender. Inthepast, if youwererejectedfor a credit card, you might not get any ex- planation. Under the newrules, you’ll now get — in the mail — the exact scoreusedbythelender whenreview- ing your credit application. The letter will alsoincludethereasons whyyour score was considered risky: too many late payments, balances too high, too manycredit cardapplications, etc. “Forconsumers, thisisthefirsttime they’ll see their real score used by the lender. It’ll give consumers an exact pictureof wheretheystandinthelend- er’s eyes. ...

The next 14 months will bring generic versions of seven of the world’s 20 best-selling drugs, including the top two: cholesterol fighter Lipitor and blood thinner Plavix. The magnitude of this wave of expiring drugs patents is un- precedented. Between now and 2016, blockbusters with about $255 billion in global an- nual sales will go off patent, notes EvaluatePharma Ltd., a London research firm. Generic competition will decimate sales of the brand-name drugs and slash the cost to patients and companies that provide health benefits. Top drugs getting generic competition by September 2012 are taken by millions ev- ery day: Lipitor alone is taken by about 4.3 million Americans and Plavix by 1.4 million. Ge- neric versions of big-selling drugs for blood pressure, asth- ma, diabetes, depression, high triglycerides, HIV and bipolar disorder also are coming by then. The flood of generics will continue for the next decade or so, as about 120 brand-name prescription drugs lose market exclusivity, according to pre- scription benefits manager Medco Health Solutions Inc. “My estimation is at least 15 percent of the population is currently using one of the drugs whose patents will ex- pire in 2011 or 2012,” says Joel Owerbach, chief pharmacy offi- cer for Excellus Blue Cross Blue Shield, which serves most of upstate New York. Those patients, along with businesses and taxpayers who help pay for prescription drugs through corporate and govern- ment prescriptionplans, collec- tively will save a fortune.

It was 1996 and Smith was the top finance officer for the chicken wings chain, whichwas still relatively small, withabout 70restaurants. The founders, friends Jim Dis- brow and Scott Lowery, had opened the first Buffalo Wild Wings 14 years earlier, after mov- ing to Columbus, Ohio, from Buf- falo, N.Y. Unable to find Buffalo- style chicken wings in their new town, they’d opened Buffalo Wild Wings &Weck, cooking sauces in their apartment kitchen and play- ing MTV in the restaurant to at- tract OhioState college students. But the pair knew they needed help taking the business froma la- borof lovetoaprofessionallyman- aged corporation, especially be- cause Disbrow, by then CEO, was about to leave to run the U.S. Fig- ure Skating Association. They chose the operations vice presi- dent of another restaurant as their newchief exec. But hedidn’t show uponhis scheduledfirst day. The board members huddled, then told Smith a few days later that they wanted her to be CEO. She doesn’t really remember agreeingtotakethejob; it was just assumedthat she would. She got the books in order, shookupthesupplychainandadd- ed marketing, human resources and finance departments. She set out todiversifythecustomer base, and she dropped “Weck” fromthe end of the name (a weck is a cara- way roll popular in Buffalo). In 2003, she took the company pub- lic. The chain has since grown to about 750 restaurants, including oneinOntariothatopenedinMay, marking Buffalo Wild Wings’ first international expansion. Now, Smith is eyeing London. Unlike many competitors, the Minneapo- lis-based chain has weathered the recession well. Its revenue rose14 percent last year, when U.S. reve- nue fell at Applebee’s, Chili’s and Ruby Tuesday, according to Tech- nomic, a restaurant industry re- searchfirm. Smith, 53, talkedtoThe Associ- ated Press about when to get the biggest chicken wings, what she looks for in job applicants and what’s worrying the restaurant in- dustry. Q. What was Buffalo Wild Wings like when you first got there? A. Wehadacommissaryandev- erything came through it. They were buyingchickenwings, bring- ing them to the commissary and sendingthembackout tothe fran- chisees. We had about 14 trucks, and it was not efficient. If we were going to open a restaurant in Tex- as, you ended up having a truck that had to go from Columbus to Texas. Q. How did you reshape the brand? A. The restaurants were really college bars. And there’s nothing wrong with college bars, but you probably weren’t going to raise money. We started delivering the foodtothe(tables). Wedidhigher ceilings, windows, we expanded themenu. Weupdatedthelogo— it was a Buffalo nickel on a plain creambackground. Q. Doyoueverhearpeoplecom- plaintheir wingsaregettingsmall- er? A. Inthesummer, wings tendto be smaller because chickens don’t eat as much. In the winter, they’re eating more. You also have Thanksgiving and Christmas, timeswhentheplantsaretypically closed. So chickens the next week have muchbigger wings. Q. You’rechairwomanof theNa- tional Restaurant Association. What are restaurants worried about right now? A.

But scientists are also study- ing how to harness the wind in different ways that could help al- lay concerns that today’s tur- bines are unattractive, noisy and sometimes even dangerous. Already in the works: Tur- bines that float and turbines that fly. Turbines without blades and turbines with blades fat enough to fit a double-decker bus inside. They won’t just be on hillsides either. Somewill beintheocean, while others will be on rooftops and light poles. A few will even be in the sky. One design was inspired by the humble bumblebee. Sabri Sansoy, an MIT gradu- ate and former rocket engineer, has built a 19-foot-tall prototype whoseblades, rather thanspinin a circle, move in a figure-eight motion like the insect’s wings. Sansoy hopes the design will generate more electricity than turbines of similar size. “I’ve been called everything from brilliant to a nincompoop over this,” said Sansoy, whose Marina del Rey, Calif., company Green Wavelength is looking to commercialize the technology. But “there’s a lot of people in- terestedinthis kindof thing, tak- ing energy out of the wind,” he said. That’s because there’s a lot of moneybeingpouredintofinding ways to ease off coal-based elec- tricity. Last year, the Depart- ment of Energy set aside a re- cord $79 million for its wind pro- gram budget — nearly $20 mil- lion more than its previous top allotment in 1980. General Electric Co., which makes half of the turbines in the U.S., has investedmorethan$1.5 billion developing renewable en- ergy technology since entering the wind business in 2002. Goo- gle Inc., the Internet search gi- ant, and its philanthropic arm have plunged millions of dollars into new wind concepts. At the moment, most turbines are designed to look like stream- linedwindmills: Blades connect- ed to a rotor, usually mounted high on a tower to capture stron- ger gusts, spin like propellers in the wind. The rotor helps turn a shaft connected to a generator, which produces electricity. But companies are coming up with innovative variations. An Alameda, Calif., company, Wind turbines growing taller and more powerful By TIFFANY HSU Los Angeles Times See TURBINES, Page 4D because generic drugs typically cost 20 percent to 80 percent less than the brand names. Doctors hope the lower prices will significantly reduce the num- ber of people jeopardizing their health because they can’t afford medicines they need. Evenpeople withprivate insur- ance or Medicare aren’t filling all their prescriptions, studies show, particularlyfor cancer drugs with copays of hundreds of dollars or more. The new generics will slice co- payments of those with insur- ance. For the uninsured, who have been paying full price, the savings will be much bigger. Daly Powers, 25, an uninsured student who works two part-time jobs at low wages, says he often can’t afford the $220 a month for his depression and attention def- icit disorder pills. He couldn’t buy either drug in June and says he’s struggling with his Spanish class and his emotions. He looks forward to his antidepressant, Lexapro, goinggeneric earlynext year. “It’d make all the difference in the world,” says Powers, of Bryan, Texas. Generic medicines are chem- ically equivalent to the original brand-name drugs and work just as well for nearly all patients. When a drug loses patent pro- tection, often only one generic version is on sale for the first six months, so the price falls a little bit initially. Then, several other generic makers typically jump in, driving prices down dramatical- ly. Last year, the average generic prescription cost $72, versus $198 for the average brand-name drug, according to consulting firm Wolters Kluwer Pharma So- lutions. Those figures average all prescriptions, fromshort-termto 90-day ones. Average copayments last year were $6 for generics, compared with $24 for brand-name drugs given preferred status by an in- surer and $35 for nonpreferred brands, according to IMS Health. Among the drugs that recently went off patent, Protonix, for se- vere heartburn, now costs just $16 a month for the generic, ver- sus about $170 for the brand name. And of the top sellers that soon will have competition, Lip- itor retails for about $150 a month, Plavix costs almost $200 a month and blood pressure drug Diovancosts about $125amonth. For those with drug coverage, their out-of-pocket costs for each of those drugs could drop below $10 a month. Many discount retailers and grocery chains sell the most pop- ular generics for $5 a month or less to draw in shoppers. Theimpact of thecomingwave of generics will be widespread — and swift. Insurers usesystems that make sure patients are switchedtoa ge- neric the first day it’s available. Many health plans require newly diagnosed patients to start on ge- neric medicines. And unless the doctor writes “brand only” on a prescription, if there’s a generic available, that’s almost always what the pharmacist dispenses. “A blockbuster drug that goes off patent will lose 90 percent of its revenue within 24 months. I’ve seen it happen in12 months,” says Ben Weintraub, a research director at Wolters Kluwer Phar- ma Solutions. Drug companies have received U.S. approval for 20 drugs this year and expect approval for oth- er important ones the next few years. Eventually, those will help fill the revenue hole. For now, brand-name drug- makers are scrambling to adjust for the billions in revenue that will soon be lost. Typically, they raise prices 20 percent or more in the final years before generics hit to maximize revenue. Some also contract with generic drugmak- ers for “authorized generics,” which give the brand-name com- pany a portion of the generic sales. PRICES Continued fromPage 1D ster said. And with an easy drive from New England to Northeast- ern Pennsylvania, she said the lo- cationwas anaddedbonus. What she heard and saw from the company’s employees seemed like a perfect fit, said Brewster, whosecompanyAmericanFlorais in its first year of operations, with itsproductssoldthroughawebsite andat trunksales. “I was very impressed with the production facility and the way theydothings,” shesaidabout her first visit to the facility last year. “This was a slice of America. That’s how I felt and that’s what I was lookingfor.” She said she wanted to support the planet by using recycled prod- ucts, support the dance communi- ty by creating comfortable and fashionable items and she wanted to support her country by having her goods made domestically. To date she’s ordered close to 1,000 garments, including leo- tards, tank tops and yoga pants. That’s in addition to100 tote bags made from used poly-vinyl bill- boards donated to her by Adams Outdoor Advertising. Lantz saidhe’s amazedwiththe ideas people have come up with and he’s glad the company is able tohelpout. “It’s fascinatingtoseewhat peo- ple are tryingtodo,” Lantz said. “There’s so many people that have been downsized or lost jobs that they’re looking to control their ownlives,” Lantz said. Brewster didn’t lose her job but the thought of tryingtohelpdanc- ers, while helping the environ- ment andmakingsomemoneyfor herself seemed like a worthy en- deavor. “Ilovetheconceptof businessin abasement,”saidBrewster, whose daughter Rebeccaandtwointerns assist her. Lantz, 57, of Kingston, said A. Rifkin loves it, too. He said that whilebankandvotingbagsarestill their biggest lines, about 70 per- cent of all items produced by the company, contract sewingnowac- counts for about 10 percent of its business. And the apparel portion of that “is still relatively tiny.” But it creates anopportunityfor growth, which bank bags haven’t provided. There are only so many banks, Lantz said, but optimistically add- ing, “we are still far away frombe- ing cashless and paperless.” But with more people like Brewster, the reliance on bags could dwin- dle. “We have to adapt,” said Lantz, “becausewedon’t want tobecome just a distributor.” He said the purchase of new equipment to handle the apparel business “is worth the investment long-term but we haven’t made money onthat side yet.” Brewster hopes to change that, because if she places more orders with Rifkin, it means her business is takingoff.

September 7th - 11th • Rt. 118 Dallas/Lehman, PA 49th ANNUAL Fair C OUNTY L UZERNE In a slow economy, small busi- ness owners know what to do: adapt. “We have to constantly keep adjusting,” says Janice Cutler, president of North Raleigh Flo- rist in North Carolina. She has changed her marketing strategy since the start of the recession in late 2007. That has kept people buying — even though flowers aren’t always a high priority. At Graphic Imagery, a printing company in South San Francisco, owner Rachel Imison and her husband are working harder for eachsale. Andthey’ve investedin new equipment that gets the work done better. Here’s a look at howfour small business owners have adapted to an economy that keeps limping along: • Cutler says her floral busi- ness has done well despite the re- cession because people still need flowers for holidays, special occa- sions and big events like wed- dings. “But the economy has defi- nitely affected us in that we would be doing better,” if some customers weren’t cutting back on regular purchases, she says. For example, consumers and companies that used to order flowers regularly as decorations. Her answer to the recession was to market her flowers differ- ently. “We do more than just sell flowers. It’s a sentiment,” she says. The strategy has beenwork- ing. Cutler says, “we’ve honestly had double-digit growth every month.” • At Graphic Imagery, “we are working longer hours, customers are demanding more for less, the average value of each sale is low- er,” Imison says. But she under- stands that her customers are un- der as much pressure as her com- pany is. To meet customers’ greater de- mands, Graphic Imagery invest- ed$500,000 inequipment that al- lows it to print more efficiently and cheaply. It’s able to make booklets and brochures faster — sometimes in as little as a day. The company is also trying to keep its costs down. It’s putting off hiring because, while busi- ness has been good, “we’re not confident yet,” Imison says. Her family is putting off its vacation this year, something it also did during the recession. “We’re still anxious,” Imison says. • Alan Gaynor & Co., a New York-based architectural firm, was primarily doing interior de- sign work for companies before the recession. That meant rede- signing lobbies, offices and other spaces. That type of business be- gan to slow at the start of 2008. But the firmstarted getting more projects to renovate building in- frastructure. “We realized that was a good market for us,” says Michele Bod- dewyn, the firm’s president. She says that after thecollapseof Leh- man Brothers in September 2008, the market for corporate in- terior design “was very dead.” The interior design market has recovered somewhat, but pro- jects are smaller. Boddewyn says of clients, “if they have a wish list of 10 things, maybe they’re hit- ting seven of those 10.” • Brian Butler’s dry cleaning business in Columbus, Ohio, ca- ters to affluent customers. He says Dublin Cleaners held on to them by giving them superior service. Like Graphic Imagery, his company invested in new equipment and technology that improved the quality of its work and also made it easier to satisfy customers’ needs. Dublin had its best sales in 2007. Business fell in 2008 through 2010, but Butler says sales were downonly2percent to 4 percent each year. That was be- low the industry average of 10 percent. He says the company is back up near its 2007 level. SMALL TALK Businesses find ways to adapt in slow economy By JOYCE M. ROSENBERG AP Business Writer Q: The woman whose desk is next to mine spends hours on Facebook and even refers to her- self as an “online stalker.” She is pals with our network adminis- trator, who supposedly likes to read every email that comes into the company. I recently figured out that these two have been reading my personal email whenever I ac- cess my account at work. Even more alarming, they apparently tried to log in to my online bank- ing. Because they exceeded the allowed number of password at- tempts, I was locked out of the account when I got home. To prevent this prying, I have stopped checking my personal email at work. This frustrates my co-worker, who now tries to make me log on by saying that she sent me a picture or joke. When I reply that I’ll read it at home, she gets really annoyed. What else can I do about this? A: If the cyber-snoopers are this eager to invade your privacy, then they are undoubtedly doing the same to other unsuspecting employees. Therefore, in addi- tion to protecting yourself, you might also take steps to protect your colleagues. Giventhe serious nature of the offense, talking to someone in management or human re- sources would seemto be the ap- propriate next step. If you know of others who have been victi- mized, they can also attend and help present the case. For example: “We thought you shouldknowthat some people in the company have been reading their co-workers’ personal email online and have even tried to get into their bank accounts. We’re asking you to investigate the sit- uationandput a stoptothis inap- propriate behavior.” You can then provide whatev- er proof you have of these intru- sions. If management fails to take immediate action, informal- lyspreadthewordthat accessing personal accounts at work can make them vulnerable to view- ing by others. Q: After two days at my new job, I have not yet signed a pay- roll form or been told about my work hours. This is a small fam- ily business that has been quite successful, but seems very disor- ganized. I have made two ap- pointments with the owners to discuss my schedule, but they forgot both times. Is this a bad sign? A: While this confusion may be disturbing, it is not unusual. Many successful small compa- nies expand so quickly that their processes and procedures can’t keep up with the growth. To compound this problem, the founders are often entrepreneu- rial types who are not the most organized people in the world. Whether this is a bad omen or an excellent opportunity de- pends largely on the nature of your position. If you have an ad- ministrative job, you may have actually been hired to help bring order out of this chaos. In that case, your organizational skills will soon make you indispens- able. On the other hand, if your work leaves you at the mercy of these muddled managers, you may soon need a crash course in stress reduction.

McIntyre is a workplace coach and the author of “Secrets to Winning at Office Politics.” Send in questions and get free coaching tips at http://www.yourofficecoach.com. Makani Power Inc., is develop- ing a kite-like contraption that generates electricity as it whips in circles in the wind. Another firm, Magenn Power Inc., has built a giant spinning blimp with generators affixed to each end. It somewhat resembles a giant in- flatable hamster wheel. Some machines could double as art installations. Poway, Calif.- basedHelixWindCorp.’s turbine looks like a spiral staircase wrap- ped in a white sheet. Another model, from WindTronics, evokes a large bicycle wheel — or Sauron’s eye from “The Lord of the Rings.” Although many current instal- lations are limited to sites with just the right mix of topography and wind speed, designers are starting to create turbines that can adapt to a wide range of ter- rains. One Italian proposal involves wind turbines being built be- tweenthe pillars of a bridge. Last month, turbine manufacturer Vestas said it adapted military stealth technology that can keep turbines from interfering with airport and army radar systems, potentiallyopeningupnewsites. The popularity of rooftop so- lar panels has sparked a surge of smaller wind turbines that can sit atopbuildings. Municipalities aroundthe country are gradually updating zoning rules to allow for the more compact models. Technology like the not-quite-6- foot-tall Eddy from Urban Green Energy Inc. has popped up at trade shows in China and the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Turbines could also end up in the oceans as developers try to tap powerful sea breezes. Re- searchers say those machines couldgenerate many times more power than land-based ones. In March, Vestas announced a 7-megawatt offshore turbine that will be more than 600 feet tall from the blade tip to the bottom of the tower. The blades will sweep in a circle larger than the London Eye Ferris wheel. The monstrous machines, to be made mostly with recyclable materials, will be mass produced by 2015, Vestas said. One turbine inGermany spans nearly 700 feet from the bottom of the tower tothe blade tip. Oth- er developers saythat land-based turbines with 300-foot blades may be ready within a decade. But some said scaling up isn’t always the way to go. “The wind industry’s central tenet now is that bigger is bet- ter,” said John O. Dabiri, an aero- nautics professor who runs Cal- tech’s Center for Bioinspired En- gineering. “It certainly goes against conventional wisdom, but we’re taking the opposite perspective.” But some of the newfangled models may not go far, said Nan- cy Rader, executive director of the California Wind Energy As- sociation.

It was off by about $11.8 trillion. One reason for the miss was that the government’s forecasts for future growth were too op- timistic, says research from Harvard University. And investors should be skeptical not only about U.S. numbers but other countries’ as well. After looking at official forecasts for growth and budget balances by 33 countries, Professor Jeffrey Frankel found that they were often too rosy. They also tended to be even more biased during economic booms. One exception was Chile, which tended to be too pessimistic. SHOW ME THE SALES One of the best surprises this earnings season is how strong revenue growth has been. Total revenue is up 9.9 percent from a year earlier for the S&P 500 companies that reported their second-quarter results through Thursday. If they keep up the pace, it would be the best revenue growth in a year. It could also mean that companies are moving into the second phase of earnings growth, say Deutsche Bank strategists: If companies can depend on stronger revenue to raise their profits, they’ll focus less on cutting jobs and other costs. NOT EVERYONE’S STRUGGLING Governments around the world are get- ting financially weaker, which means credit-rating agencies are busy cutting their ratings. Greece is already in junk status, and agencies warn that the U.S. may lose its top rating. Then there’s Uruguay. Standard & Poor’s upped the South American country’s rating to BB+ last week. That means it’s just one level away from graduating to investment grade from junk status. S&P cited Uruguay’s “prudent and consistent eco- nomic policies.” Compare that with how S&P described the U.S. debate on cut- ting the deficit: “entangled.” Total revenue growth, S&P 500 companies Source: FactSet *Data through July 28 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2* 0 4 8 12 percent ’10 ’09 ’11 9.9* 2011 2001 20 20 20 20 20 0 20 20 0 20 0 20 00 20 22220 00 20 20 0 20 0 20 222222222220 2200 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 220 220 20 0 20 20 22220 20 220 20 222220 20 20 20 0 20 220 0 20 220 220 220 220 20 220 2220 000 22 11 11 1111 111111 11 11 111 1111 11 11 11 11 111 11 111 11111 11 1 11 11 111111111 111 111 11 111 11 111 11 11 11 1 111 1 11 11 11 11 11 11 11 11 111 11 1 11 1 11 1 11 1111 11 1 11 11 11111111111 +$5.6t -$6.2t 2011 In January 2001, the Congressional Budget Office projected that the country could have a cumulative surplus of $5.6 trillion from 2002 through 2011. It ended up being a deficit of $6.2 trillion. Source: Congressional Budget Office The U.S. government’s fiscal trou- bles mean bond investors should focus more on corporate and mu- nicipal bonds, says George Strick- land, managing director at Thorn- burgh Investment Management, which has about $84 billion in as- sets under management. He is also co-portfolio manager of Thornburg’s Strategic Income Fund. What will happen if the U.S. los- es its top AAA credit rating? In the short run, I would expect there would not be a huge effect because in- vestors have virtually no- where else to go. If you’re a (mutual fund with a mandate to in- vest in) U.S. government bonds, you literally have nowhere else to go. If you’re a high-quality buyer, you can shift some of your incre- mental purchases to high-grade corporates, but it’s a much smaller market. Mortgages, the high-quali- ty ones, are agency backed, which are implicitly government backed. Many (mutual funds) can’t take cross-currency risk and go to (German) bunds, so really you’ve got nowhere else to go Longer term, I think that the U.S. government and U.S. gov- ernment bond market (has bene- fited) greatly from being a store of value, something that’s rock solid when nothing else is. I think we’re damaging that image in a long- term way. We’ve already done it, but a downgrade would do more damage to our image as a store of wealth. I think we’ll see a con- tinued incremental shift on the part of both central governments and private buyers of debt toward other markets. Should U.S. investors be look- ing at foreign bonds instead? If you’re a U.S. based investor, you should have most of your money in U.S. bonds. For a variety of rea- sons, U.S. corporates and U.S. municipals are where you should have the bulk of your assets ver- sus U.S. Treasurys. First of all, you get (more yield than you do with) Treasurys, and you don’t lose sleep over the political dynamics. Really, you’re not losing any sleep over municipals? I’m not losing any sleep. Some people potentially are, but U.S. municipalities have demonstrated a lot more fiscal responsibility than the U.S. government. Their bud- gets are smaller than they were a couple years ago, and their tax revenues are growing pretty nicely. But municipalities are at risk of getting less federal aid. It’s definitely a concern, but mu- nicipalities have had to tighten their belt straps for several years now, and I think that they’ll by and large continue to do that. There may be some exceptions to that rule, but by and large, I think we’ll see them through this crisis in pretty good shape. And you like corporates because of how much cash they have? Corporate cash flows are very good, and corporate balance sheets and the absolute level of debt both look quite good. You have to be a little concerned about what happens to the economy go- ing forward. If we actually do get fiscal tightening of let’s call it $3 trillion over 10 years, that’ll shave probably 1.5 to 2 percent off of (economic) growth, which would make you a little concerned about the high-yield market place. What kind of corporate bonds do you like? With high-grade bonds, the (prices) just don’t offer enough to justify it. So we’re more in the high speculative grade and low invest- ment grade. That’s probably the sweet spot. It’s kind of interesting, because there’s a lot of demand for the juiciest bond deals, for the highest yielding, highest risk stuff, and there’s a lot of demand for the highest quality stuff, but investors don’t seem to be buying at the train stops in between.

INITIAL INVESTMENT Funds that use a momentum strategy are relatively new. But some show big returns. Jump on the bandwagon Many investors look at a stock like Priceline.com and get uneasy. It’s up 560 percent since the start of the bull market on March 10, 2009. After that kind of advance, there’s no way a stock can go much higher, they say. But some fund managers expect stocks that have shot higher to keep on going. They use a strate- gy known as momentum investing. To understand how the strategy works, think of a runaway train. The longer it stays on the track, the more speed it builds up. It keeps getting faster — until it hits a sharp turn. So momentum fund managers buy even when a stock is high — and then try to sell before it derails. It’s a strategy that tends to work long-term, but it can also be vola- tile. Some things to remember about momentum investing: DON’T TRY IT AT HOME Although it sounds simple, picking stocks based on momentum isn’t recommended for individual inves- tors. It means following the stocks closely to avoid getting burned if they fall sharply. If you want to profit from momentum, buy a mutual fund that uses the strategy, says John Mont- gomery, CEO of Bridgeway Funds. IT CAN GET EXPENSIVE Amomentum strategy depends on regularly switching out stocks in a fund. Turnover — the rate at which a portfolio replaces its stocks with new ones — can be up to 150 percent for momentum funds. Some stock funds with different strategies have turn- over rates as low as 22 percent. In- vestors pay a fee every time a stock in their fund is bought or sold. So re- turns from a momentum fund must be high enough to offset those costs. IT’S A SIDE DISH, NOT A MAIN COURSE Momentum isn’t a replacement for other strategies. Funds that use momentum tend to work when val- ue funds — ones made up of stocks that are cheaply priced — don’t. The strategies complement each other, Montgomery says.

LocalStocks SOURCE: FactSet The steadiest ships in the S&P 500 Stock Screener The budget standoff over raising the U.S. borrow- ing limit has many investors wondering whether it’s safe to own stocks. The Dow Jones industrial aver- age fell more than 500 points last week. If lawmak- ers can’t reach a deal by Tuesday, the U.S. could default on its debt. If that happens, some analysts predict stocks could fall as much as they did at the height of the financial crisis. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 32 percent in just over a month after Lehman Brothers announced its bankruptcy. Many investors are wondering which stocks have the best chance of holding steady in a worst-case scenario. A few stocks in the S&P 500 rose last week even though the index fell 3.5 percent. We screened those for a measure of reliability: a strong dividend yield. Companies with a solid divi- dend have a steady cash flow that can cushion them against calamity. When we screened for S&P 500 stocks that rose over the past week and have a dividend yield above 2 percent, we were left with only 12 companies. Many are in industries considered safe, like energy and technology. Above, the corporations that stayed the course while the rest of the market lurched.

The terrible spectacle we are witnessing in Washington over the urgent need to raise America’s debt ceiling is a direct result of congressional elections less than one year ago. In November, Republicans picked up an astonishing 63 seats in the House of Representatives. Their 179-256 minor- ity status instantly became a 242-193 majority granting them the power to appoint the House speaker and chairs of every standing committee. In April, the new Republican major- ity passed legislation to undo Medicare for everyone younger than 55, replac- ing it with a coupon that senior citi- zens would carry to insurance compa- nies, hat in hand, and attempt to pur- chase some health care coverage. In July, House Republicans have the United States, and everyone’s 401k, on the brink of economic calamity. Elec- tions have consequences. Raising the debt ceiling — the statu- tory level necessary to pay the nation’s bills “authorized by law” and already incurred — is a perfunctory measure. But these are not your typical Repub- licans being elected to Congress. Rath- er, they are a cadre of extremists — fast approaching critical mass in the House and Senate. Not since 1948 has a political party benefited by a shift of 63 seats in the House. Last year the Senate GOP gained six seats, increasing its number to 49 of 100 senators. Two more Senate seats and Republicans will have a ma- jority in that chamber as well. Elec- tions have serious consequences. The new House majority selected U.S. Rep. John Boehner, R-Ohio, to be their speaker. Before doing so, Boehner needed to solicit and accept support from the dozens of far-right members in his conference. As a result the veter- an Boehner, certainly no ideologue, had his hands full, if not tied. Never was it more evident than on Tuesday when Speaker Boehner an- nounced his latest debt ceiling propos- al to nowhere. Instantly he was op- posed by members of his own party, many led by right-wing Congressman James Jordan, who quickly announced that Boehner would not have the votes to pass it. Jordan’s Ohio congressional district adjoins that of his speaker. When will thoughtful Republicans move to take back their party? On Wednesday, as the Dow was dropping 198 points, a frustrated U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., took the Senate floor to chastise the Republican fringe opposed to increasing America’s debt ceiling. And the conservative Wall Street Journal added, “The idea seems to be that if the House GOP refuses to raise the debt ceiling, a default crisis or gradual government shutdown will ensue and the public will turn en masse against Barack Obama. Then Democrats would have no choice but to pass a balanced budget amendment and reform entitlements, and the tea party hobbits could return to Middle Earth having defeated Mordor.” McCain and the WSJ do not a trend make, but the intentions of “tea party hobbits” are known and Republicans will have an opportunity to root them out. Yet none of this resolves the immedi- ate crises facing our nation. While more information might have become known over the weekend, if no congres- sional resolution is at hand, President Obama should put an end to the global economic uncertainty before markets open in the morning. The president should raise the debt ceiling by executive order. Citing the 14th Amendment to the Constitution the president can free the American people, their government and all future presidents from ever again being held hostage to the unconstitutional debt ceiling charade. Amendment 14, Section 4: “The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law … shall not be questioned.” KEVIN BLAUM I N T H E A R E N A Raise ceiling through use of executive power Kevin Blaum’s column on government, life and politics appears every Sunday. Contact him at [email protected]. OUR government with its checks and balances and need for consensus makes for difficult navigation, even if you are cap- tain of the ship. One of the interest- ing questions to ponder is assessing how much power a president really has to resolve critical issues. The rest of us have the luxury of being out of the line of fire while this country’s leaders face the threat that we will soon be out of money and unable to pay our bills. President Harry Truman said “the buck stops here” — at the president’s desk — and he was right. Perhaps it’s too simplistic to view the presidency this way, but the per- son in the Oval Office is the ultimate decision-maker for the government of our country. He takes the lion’s share of the blame or the credit for events that unfold during his administration. President Obama shoulders blame for failing over the last few weeks to get the consensus he needed to raise the debt ceiling and he failed to save the country from the maddening de- bate over spending cuts vs. tax in- creases. As is often the case, the president can’t win. He made a meaningful attempt to reach an agreement with the Speaker of the House, Republican John Boehner. The plan failed but it brought Obama criticism from those on the far left of his own party who believed he had abandoned them and the progressive Democratic principles they espouse. Republicans, meanwhile, even those he was attempting to appease, do not believe Obama does enough of any- thing to help move the country for- ward. The internal revolt within the two parties is almost comical. Liberals say Obama isn’t liberal enough. The tea party folks say Boehner isn’t conser- vative enough. At some point Obama will have to act as if he’s the CEO of the country and support a plan — his own or someone else’s. By week’s end, he hadn’t done that; he still seemed to be waiting for someone else to solve the problem. The 2012 election is a long way in the future, but the president knows what the defining issue will be in his campaign for re-election: the econo- my, and by that I do not mean our debt level or ability to borrow. The economy, for purposes of politics, can be measured in three words: jobs, jobs, jobs. The debate over the debt ceiling on the debt is more philosophical than real. Jobs are real. The state of the economy is real. While the debate was raging over the debt ceiling, news reports were shouting more bad news: “The United States economy has slowed considerably this year from a year ago,” said a report from the Com- merce Department released on Friday. The news came as Congress wran- gled over how to put the nation on a more sustainable fiscal path without slowing the recovery even more, or throwing the country back into reces- sion. It is unbelievable that a person runs for president and does not realize they have to make the tough deci- sions and solve the problems that split not only the political parties but the ranks within the parties. If you want to be the nation’s chief exec- utive, you have to know that the buck stops with you. We have problems underlying the debt ceiling and borrowing crisis. They are the most serious we face. The president must find a way to put people back to work and enable a recovery of our economy as a whole. Those are the priorities. The CEO of the country needs to lead. President Obama should not get a pass because his job and the process of democracy are difficult. He wanted the job and now he should do it. RICHARD L.

Michele Bachmann The Minnesota Republican running for president with “tea party” support on Friday revolted, vowing not to fall in line with the GOP House speaker’s plan to raise the nation’s $14.3-trillion debt ceiling. THE BIG news, as far as the media are concerned, is the political game of debt-ceiling chicken that is being played by Democrats and Republicans in Wash- ington. But, however much the media are focused on what is happen- ing inside the Beltway, there is a whole country outside the Beltway – and the time is long overdue to start thinking about what is best for the rest of the country, not just for right now but for the long haul. No matter how the debt-ceiling crisis turns out, the current economic turmoil in financial markets around the world should cause some serious thoughts about the long run, and about the whole idea of a national debt-ceiling. Some people might have been shocked when the credit-rating firm Moody’s recent- ly suggested that the debt-ceiling law be repealed, in order to avoid fiscal crises that can throw world financial markets into turmoil and injure countries around the world. Anyone who wants to show that Moody’s is wrong should be prepared to show the actual benefits of the debt-ceiling, not its goals or hopes. That will not be easy, if possible at all. Too many policies, programs and in- stitutions are judged by what they are sup- posed to do, rather than by what they ac- tually do – and the consequences of their actions. The United Nations, for example, survives as a glorious idea, despite how corrupt, counterproductive and even dan- gerous its actions are. The national debt-ceiling law should be judged by what it actually does. The one thing that the national debt-ceiling has never done is to put a ceiling on the rising national debt. Time and time again, for years on end, the national debt-ceiling has been raised whenever the national debt gets near whatever the current ceiling might be. Regardless of what it is supposed to do, what the national debt-ceiling actually does is enable any administration to get all the political benefits of runaway spending for the benefit of their favorite constituencies – and then invite the opposition party to share the blame, by either raising the na- tional debt ceiling, or by voting for unpop- ular cutbacks in spending or increases in taxes. What would happen if there were no national debt-ceiling law? Those people who got the political bene- fits from handing out trillions of dollars of the taxpayers’ money (plus borrowed mon- ey) also would get the clear and sole blame for the resulting skyrocketing national debt and all the unpopular consequences. Those people who want serious and substantial spending cuts are absolutely right in what they want. There are not only government programs that need to be cut, but also whole government agencies, in- cluding Cabinet-level Departments, that are not merely useless but positively harmful on net balance. There are a lot of things that could be cut, and should be cut, instead of default- ing on the nation’s debts. But that is not likely to happen, if Obama and his media chorus can instead blame the Republicans for forcing a government shutdown or a credit default. Regardless of how the crisis is resolved, Moody’s suggestion of repealing the nation- al debt-ceiling law deserves some very serious thought, because that law is the crucial factor in the political games that allow big spenders to blame others for the consequences of their own irresponsibility. Those people who say that the reckless spending and reckless borrowing of the Obama administration are the roads to ruin are absolutely right. Too many policies and institutions are judged by what they are supposed to do, rather than by what they actually do.

COMMENTARY T H O M A S S O W E L L TWELVE NEW governors who ran on anti-tax plat- forms have now signed their first fiscal year budgets. All of them will tell you they were elected with a mandate to get their state’s fiscal house in order, rein in government spending and cut taxes. Some of them will even tell you they view New Jersey’s Chris Christie as their model – a “primo example” according to Wisconsin’s Scott Walker – of how a conservative governor governs. This should alarm you. Gov. Christie recently vetoed a widely popular and eminently sensible tax on New Jersey millionaires. This temporary tax, affecting a mere 0.2 percent of all households, would have generated around $500 million, primarily for public schools. In the same budget, Christie raised (yes, raised) taxes on his state’s working poor by cutting about $45 million from the Earned Income Tax Credit, which helps people working full-time in low- wage jobs to make ends meet. He went on to shred the Democratic legis- lature’s budget, which paid for things such as police protection, a health-care safety net and college tuition grants. Christie said no to all of it, insisting the state didn’t have the mon- ey. And yet he managed to set aside $640 million ($365 million if you accept his revised math) that he calls a “healthy and necessary” surplus – necessary to his career, maybe, but not healthy for his constituents. New Jersey is one of more than 30 states that, in 2009, decided temporarily to boost some taxes to help make up revenues that were drying up with the recession. Even with those temporary infusions, states had to excise billions from their budgets to stay in the black. Those mostly two-year fixes have now expired, as have the federal stimulus dollars that kept many state budgets afloat. Now, with hospitals, schools and police forces scarcely shadows of their former selves, and college tuition up as much as 50 percent and even 100 percent since 2008, governors such as Christie are hoarding surpluses while heaping burdens on average taxpayers, too many of whom remain un- or under-employed. In Michigan, with its infamously precari- ous economy, freshman Gov. Rick Snyder delivered a particularly irrational budget. He slashed all kinds of spending, cut business taxes by more than a billion dollars, then reduced the state’s Earned Income Tax Credit by 70 percent, raising taxes on the state’s working poor by more than $260 million each year. According to our analysis, the poorest 20 percent of Michiganders will be hit hardest by the package of tax hikes that Snyder pushed through. All to pay for alleg- edly job-creating tax cuts for business, even as the governor admits he “can’t guarantee” economy-boosting results. Governors across the country have signed budgets like these, with excruciating cuts in government services, incomprehensible tax increases for low- and middle-income house- holds and utterly mystifying tax breaks bene- fiting businesses and individuals with healthy portfolios. Like Christie, each of these governors left hundreds of millions of available funds (previ- ous surpluses or projected revenues) un- spent. They like to call it “fiscally responsib- le,” but sitting on millions while raising the cost of living for low- and middle-income families and passing the buck to cities and counties (which is exactly what these stripped down state budgets do, make no mistake) is anything but fiscally responsible. It is, however, politically profitable. And taxpaying citizens should not fall for this shell game.

COMMENTARY M A T T H E W G A R D N E R I F YOU FOLLOWED the debt ceiling debate last week in Washington, D.C., and found it (inspiring / dishearten- ing), you’re probably about ready to (cheer / weep) now that Congress finally appears poised to (take back our country by restoring fiscal sanity / push the nation over a cliff). Can you believe how reckless (President Obama / House Speaker Boehner) has been about this monumental matter? If nothing else, the crisis again displayed how wrongheaded the (Democrats’ agenda / Republicans’ ideology) is today and the extent to which Washington remains (dysfunctional / dysfunc- tional). No matter where you stand, let your elected federal officials know how you feel – and how you expect them to vote.

CONNOR Editor and Publisher JOSEPH BUTKIEWICZ Vice President/Executive Editor MARK E. JONES Editorial Page Editor PRASHANT SHITUT President/Impressions Media Editorial Board QUOTE OF THE DAY RICHARD L. CONNOR Editor and Publisher PRASHANT SHITUT President JOSEPH BUTKIEWICZ Vice President/Executive Editor RICHARD DEHAVEN Vice President/Circulation ALLISON UHRIN Vice President/ Chief Financial Officer W E HAVE a boom- ing gas industry in Pennsylvania all right, but based on a good portion of the newly released Marcellus Shale Commission report, it’s worth wondering if the major output of all this drillingis heli- um administered to our elect- ed officials. They’ve been acting posi- tively dizzy over the prospects for gas drilling. And we’re not just talking about the Corbett administration, but also the Rendell ad- ministration, which helped usher in the Marcellus Shale gas rush in 2008. Despite the heavy representation of the gas industry on the commission, Corbett should get some credit for commissioning a report on an industry that has exploded in the past three years. Andwhile the report reflects the indus- try’s bias, and is notable more for what it lacks than what it provides, thereport is at least a starting point for coming to grips with the huge impacts that drillers have had on the state. For example, workers stay- ing in motels long-termmeans the Endless Mountains region lost $142,000 in tax revenue because the lawwaives the ho- tel tax for those staying in a motel more than 30 days. Wya- lusing Township had to in- crease road workers’ wages by 20 percent to stay competitive, and homeless rates are rising due to housing shortages. It’s in the 17-page list of 96 recommendations where a fuller picture of the industry’s impact emerges: Recommen- dations for further work to en- sure the safety and regulation of the industry, such as assess- ments, monitoring, reporting and regulatory changes would fall primarily on the shoulders not only of local municipal- ities, but also on the state de- partments of Transportation, Environmental Protection, Conservation and Natural Re- sources, Health and others . . . many of which have just seen their budgets cut. So where does the money come from to follow through on the commission’s rec- ommendations? That question underscores the limits of an impact fee that’s limited to localities and provides the strongest argu- ment yet for the value of a sev- erance tax.

The distinctive visions of the two parties – social-democratic versus limited-government – have underlain every debate on every issue since Barack Oba- ma’s inauguration: the stimu- lus, the auto bailouts, health care reform, financial regu- lation, deficit spending. Every- thing. The debt ceiling is but the latest focus of this funda- mental divide. The sausage-making might be unsightly, but the problem is not that Washington is broken, that ridiculous ubiquitous cliché. The problem is that these two visions are in compe- tition, and the definitive pop- ular verdict has not yet been rendered. We’re only at the midpoint. Obama won a great victory in 2008 that he took as a mandate to transform America toward European-style social democra- cy. The subsequent counterrev- olution delivered to that project a staggering rebuke in Novem- ber 2010. Under our incre- mental system, however, a rebuke delivered is not a man- date conferred. That awaits definitive resolution, the rubber match of November 2012. But reversal – rollback, in Cold War parlance – is simply not achievable until conserva- tives receive a mandate to govern from the White House. Lincoln is reputed to have said: I hope to have God on my side, but I must have Kentucky. I don’t know whether conserva- tives have God on their side (I keep getting sent to His voice mail), but I do know that they don’t have Kentucky – they don’t have the Senate, they don’t have the White House. And under our constitutional system, you cannot govern from one house alone. Given this reality, trying to force the issue – turn a block- ing minority into a governing authority – is not just counter- constitutional in spirit but self-destructive in practice. Consider the Boehner Plan for debt reduction. The Heri- tage Foundation’s advocacy arm calls it “regrettably in- sufficient.” Of course it is. That’s what happens when you control only half a branch. But the plan’s achievements are significant. It is all cuts, no taxes. It establishes the prece- dent that debt-ceiling increases must be accompanied by equal spending cuts. And it provides half a year to both negotiate more fundamental reform (tax and entitlement) and keep the issue of debt reduction con- stantly in the public eye. I am somewhat biased about the Boehner Plan because for weeks I’ve been arguing (in this column and elsewhere) for precisely such a solution: a two-stage debt-ceiling hike consisting of a half-year exten- sion with dollar-for-dollar spending cuts, followed by intensive negotiations on entit- lement and tax reform. It’s clean. It’s understandable. It’s veto proof. (Obama won’t dare.) The Republican House should have passed it weeks ago. After all, what is the alterna- tive? The Reid Plan with its purported $2 trillion of debt reduction? More than half of that comes from not continuing surge-level spending in Iraq and Afghanistan for the next 10 years. Ten years? We’re out of Iraq in 150 days. The Congressional Budget Office has found that Harry Reid’s other discretionary sav- ings were overestimated by $400 billion. The Obama plan? There is no Obama plan. And the McConnell plan, a final resort that punts the debt issue to Election Day, would likely yield no cuts at all. Obama faces two massive problems – jobs and debt. They’re both the result of his spectacularly failed Keynesian gamble: massive spending that left us a stagnant economy with high and chronic unemploy- ment – and a staggering debt burden. Obama is desperate to share ownership of this failure. Economic dislocation from a debt-ceiling crisis precisely serves that purpose – if the Republicans play along. The perfect out: Those crazy tea partyers ruined the recovery! Why would any conservative collaborate with that ploy? November 2012 constitutes the new conservatism’s one chance to restructure government and change the ideological course of the country. Why risk forfeit- ing that outcome by offering to share ownership of Obama’s wreckage? Who wants a piece of Obama’s wreckage?

ANOTHER VIEW A photograph by Pete G. Wilcox and words by Mark E. Jones EVERY sum- mer when the temperature goes up, people start stripping down. At the risk of sounding like a prude, I find it unseemly. Toddlers look cute in just a pair of shorts. Mid- dle-age men do not. Most women don’t look good in shorts, period. Yes, there are starlets strutting down Sunset Boulevard beautiful in little short-shorts, but they’re the exception. I don’t see them at my local grocery store leaning over the frozen food case. What I see reaching for the ice cream is just way too much. I’m not talking about age. I’m not talking about weight. I’m just asking for mod- esty. I don’t want to be confronted with body parts best seen only by your doctor. But America is a free country, and imposing any kind of dress code starts us down a very slip- pery slope. I was hiking in a park with a friend and she told me howhappy she was about the lawin France prohibiting Islamic full-face veils in public. I was appalled. It’s free- dom of religion, I said, and free- dom of speech. It’s oppression of women, she replied. Howdo you know? I asked. At that moment, two young women jogged past us in tiny, stretchy shorts and bikini tops. Nothing was left to the imag- ination. They were fit and attrac- tive, but I found myself thinking I’d almost rather my teenage daughter wore a burka. One outfit is as extreme as the other. Both get second and third looks. Each conveys an image of the woman wearing it, a supposition that might or might not be true. As for oppression, what sort of response will the girls in bikinis get, especially from men? To be ogled and objectified doesn’t do much for women’s equality. You could argue, as my friend did, neither does a religion that re- quires women to be completely covered. But in a democratic society, America or France, people should be free to wear whatever they want. Driving in the Fairfax district, I love to watch Orthodox Jewish families walking to temple. The men in their long coats and big hats, the women in tailored suits and wigs, and especially the little boys with curling payos and yar- mulkes and the tassels of their prayer shawls flapping. There is a Buddhist temple in my neighborhood, and the monks wear wonderful orange robes and shave their heads, men and wom- en alike. I lived in Utah for seven years, and Mormon “garments,” worn under clothing, cover more skin than what most people wear in my Trader Joe’s. I would find their nylon jumpsuits oppressive, but it’s none of my business. If we outlawburkas, then we should ban all manner of religious dress, including nuns’ habits and priests’ collars. And if we’re sup- pressing that personal expression, where will it end? A 20-year-old college football player got on a plane in San Fran- cisco reportedly wearing his pants so lowhis whole butt – in tight black briefs, according to one account – showed. I don’t know howhe walked to his seat, but it was a fashion statement: He must have thought he looked cool. A flight attendant took exception and asked himto pull up his pants. What happened next is in some dispute, but eventually he was arrested. He missed his flight, but he wasn’t charged. Just days earlier, same airline, an older man, white-haired, got on a flight wearing blue women’s underwear, a matching spaghetti- strap, midriff-baring top, a cropped see-through sweater and black thigh highs and high heels. Airline personnel didn’t say a word. Now, it was the white-haired man’s right to look ridiculous (up to a point, which no one has said he crossed), but the same right was not extended to the football player. Was it because the football player was black? Was it because he was young? Was it because he looked “gangsta”? The flight at- tendant made a judgment based at least in part on a pair of sagging sweatpants. Isn’t that repression? When does one person’s “ex- pression” become more important than another’s? An11-year-old was sent home from school for wear- ing a T-shirt that read “Obama a Terrorist’s Best Friend.” If another kid wore a shirt reading “Obama the Best President Ever,” some might disagree, but who would prevent himfrom sharing his opinion? At the mall some years ago I passed a young woman wearing a T-shirt bearing a vulgar message about President Bush almost impossible to explain to your 9-year-old. But I absolutely defend her right to wear it. Yes, I wish my across-the-street neighbor would put on a shirt when he stands in his driveway to smoke a cigarette.

Except for a few days in Chicago (a pre-planned trip), we have been staying at the Residence Inn in Dickson City. There are a lot of people, along with their pets, staying there. I have spent some time drawing maps and giving directions to the Abington Community Dog Park. The importance of the dog park has taken on a whole new meaning, as those who are here for an extended time were thrilled to hear about a facility where their dogs would be in a protected area. I have heard many great stories about how happy a pet was to finally be able to “run around” instead of always being on lead while walking the grounds around the inn or staying cooped up in the room. We on the Dog Park Com- mittee can be proud of the work that was done to help the community park become a showplace, and I thank you all for letting me be a part of this endeavor. Sylvia Tagert Clarks Summit JCC far exceeds quest for care I am the mother of four and find it necessary to send the word to other parents about the absolute gem in child care/development programs that I have found. The Jewish Community Center’s Kinder- lach program, directed by Cheri Greenberg, has been an absolute blessing in caring over the last year for my now 3-year-old. The program has given me the utmost comfort and sup- port, as well as a consistent line of communication that I found lacking in other pro- grams. There is a tremendous feeling of family – with an equal amount of concern for each child individually. During my quest for care last year, Cheri stayed on the phone with me, addressing concerns proactively on the first day rather than reactively. She gave me her home phone number, cell number and office number, as she did with every parent. Additionally, just in case we had lost them along the way, she sent home the numbers every Friday along with our children’s “project bags.” She assured me that as my son cried when I left, she would hold him and comfort him until he was soothed and ready to begin play for the day. She did just that. I never once felt uncomfortable or uneasy about leaving my prized possession in her and her staff’s care. The price is extremely rea- sonable and the comfort I felt was priceless. Take my word that there is a place out there that can love your child just as much as you. I could go on for hours about the swim classes, music days, library visits, graduation day, picture days, field trips and so on, but eventually I would fill the entire newspaper. As a final note, the program is open and welcoming to all denominations.

MOUNTAIN LAURELS C M Y K PAGE 4E SUNDAY, JULY 31, 2011 THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com ➛ P E R S P E C T I V E S False assertions drive debt debate H ere we are again, having yet another national de- bate based on false prem- ises. This time it’s about the debt limit. What does the Constitution say about the issue? “The Congress shall have power … to borrow money ...” (Article I, Section 8). But, read on. “The validity of the public debt of the United States … shall not be questioned,” ac- cording to the 14th Amend- ment, Section 4. In other words, it is unconstitutional not to raise the debt ceiling or, perhaps more accurately, the debt ceiling is unconstitu- tional. The president should, if necessary, invoke the 14th Amendment and pay the bills by executive order. But the premises of this debate are wrong. Budget figures usually combine trust funds with the General Fund. That’s nonsense, since the trust funds are separate and funded independently. Without that distortion, the total of the defense budget, the cost of war that’s distrib- uted across other departments of government, the portion of interest paid that’s due to prior unfunded military spending and extra-budgetary spending for Iraq and Afghan- istan accounts for as much as 54 percent of our spending – a total of $1.45 trillion in 2009. The safety net accounts for about 30 percent. These fig- ures are from “Analytical Per- spectives” from the 2009 Bud- get of the United States. Poi- gnantly, the debt limit was created in the effort to raise funds for World War I. It’s one thing to decide as a nation to sacrifice the eco- nomic security of our most vulnerable citizens – children, the elderly, the poor, the chronically ill, the unemploy- ed – in order to build nations and empire. It’s quite another to make that decision and pretend the debt is due to the safety net. A trumped-up debt hysteria at a time like this is a lethal fraud. Cutting federal spend- ing in a recession is a national suicidal ideation. Wayne Warner Clarks Green Face up to debt and cut spending T he Congressional Budget Office’s 2011 Long-Term Budget Outlook (released June 22) contains very star- tling warnings for every Amer- ican. The CBO found that not only will our job-killing debt eclipse our economy this year, but also that it grew 83.6 percent under President Oba- ma. That means every citizen in this country owes more than $46,000. Washington must not wait to cut spending and lower deficits. I believe we are on track to have the same eco- nomic failures as Greece if we continue down this road. The president’s demands for more borrowing to extend the debt ceiling and more than $1 tril- lion in new taxes are not the answer. I am shocked that he would even suggest raising taxes in the middle of an eco- nomic downturn. The answer is to cut spend- ing. We, as a nation, must make sacrifices and forego our reliance on the various federal programs that eat up so much of our nation’s budget. The alternative is to leave this country worse than we found it and, most unsettling to me, heap so much debt on our children and grandchildren that they will never have a chance to have the lifestyle we did.

Main St., Wilkes- Barre, PA1871 1 SEND US YOUR OPINION THE 8.7 percent un- employment rate for the Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton metro area offers a mixed message for a regional economy looking for good news. It is indeed a positive sign that our rate of unemployment is lower than the national average of 9.2 percent, but there is little consolation when all of us know at least one person who has lost his or her job in this fragile economy. In analyzing why the national rate remains stubbornly high, two questions must be answered: How do we measure unemployment, and why are major corporations not hiring when they are mostly flush with cash? There were positive signs in March when Pennsylvania added 23,000 jobs. Two months later, we received sobering news that employment dropped by 14,000 jobs. There have been similar anomalies on national unemployment levels. The national economy added an anemic 18,000 jobs in June, yet there are 14 million Americans who remain unem- ployed. The reduction in hiring nationwide, though, is not a sign that there will nec- essarily be a double-dip recession. The decline in jobs might be accounted for by the way we measure unemployment. The Bureau of Labor & Statistics tracks the “civilian non-institutional popula- tion,” which includes everyone not in the armed services, in school or in prison. The remaining category – classified as “not in the labor force” – is everyone else, including what the bureau desig- nates as “discouraged workers” – those who want a job but have stopped looking for one. This phenomenon explains why the unemployment rate actually increases when recessions begin to end. People who had given up on a finding a job see that firms are hiring and they re-enter the job market, thereby increasing the unemployment rate. Eventually, as the upturn of the business cycle continues and the economy expands, these re- entrants into the labor force, along with new immigrants and recent college graduates, find employment. It’s also estimated that major corpora- tions are sitting on cash roughly the equivalent to the gross domestic product of much of Latin America. Why aren’t they spending this money on plants, equipment and training, thereby in- creasing production and employment? There are several reasons. During this Great Recession, Amer- ican companies learned to operate with fewer employees. There will come a time, however, when corporations begin to reach diminishing returns. As the demand for their products increases, the productivity gains they have realized will no longer sustain the need for increased production. At that point, more people will be hired. Uncertainty is hampering hiring also. Businesses have been uncertain about the demand for their products or ser- vices and do not want to be overextend- ed if the recession continues. This type of uncertainty always has been present in down business cycles. However, another kind of uncertainty is more prevalent today than in the past. It is precipitated by the perceived and real threat of changes in government policies, particularly with regard to taxation and regulation. The fact that the National Labor Relations Board is attempting to prohibit Boeing Corp. from occupying its new multibillion-dollar plant in South Carolina on the grounds that it cannot move jobs from Washington to South Carolina might make companies leery about opening new facilities and thereby employing additional people. A good argument can be made, per- haps, that increases in select taxes are necessary to fund programs that most people believe are necessary, especially when you consider that corporate and individual tax rates are relatively low. This uncertainty over taxes also impacts consumer demand and delays hiring decisions. Finally, health care costs for employers are increasing rapidly and currently represent as much as 25 to 35 percent of the cost of an employee’s salary and benefits. Well-intentioned health care policies often have the unintended conse- quence of conveying great uncertainty to employers who continue to see heath care costs grow. Try as we might, the American econo- my can never outfox the business cycle. Eventually, economic circumstances – whether they are a diminishing housing market, a declining stock market or other factors – will precipitate a general decline in the demand for products and services, which will in turn lead to di- minished production and unemploy- ment. We can try to mitigate the reces- sion with various fiscal and monetary policies, but this deep recession seems to be quite resilient. No matter how we calculate unem- ployment, there are too many Americans out of work. Bringing them back into the workplace needs to be done through policies that are focused on the long run and do not create the uncertainty that has marked many policy decisions to date.

I think it is far too early in the process to release appli- cants’ names, and doing so might well hinder some of the most qualified candidates from even applying because they would not want their names disclosed. We need to assure the public that the search has been as broad and far-reaching as possible. The transition committee’s role is to advertise the posi- tion and short-list those candi- dates with the best creden- tials. The committee cannot make the actual selection, because the position will not be filled until the 11 newly elected council members take their seats in January 2012. Releasing the names of appli- cants before they even have undergone thorough reference checks is not an indication of transparency, but irresponsib- ility. At the point when the seat- ed council members have had the opportunity to thoroughly review the applicants and create a list of finalists, it might be prudent to release the applicants’ names; but that decision is a long way off. Until then we need to let the process unfold discretely and allow the candidates the priva- cy they deserve while the transition committee conducts a nationwide search for the best possible manager. No decision pertaining to this new form of government will be as important as the selection of a county manager. If we fail to get this right, the residents of Luzerne County will be the losers and the change in government will have achieved nothing. The process itself must unfold in a thoughtful, responsible way. Our county’s future depends on it. Elaine Maddon Curry Candidate Luzerne County Council Drums Council nominee favored openness A s Luzerne County begins a new future with home rule, an important goal of this new government needs to be building and restoring trust with the residents of this county. A great start should begin with releasing to the public the names of the appli- cants for county manager. I believe by releasing all the names of these applicants, it will provide full transparency to the public and hopefully prevent any political friends from being hired to this top county post. The benefit of releasing all the names – and not only the finalists’ names – is to prevent any highly qual- ified candidate from being unnoticed so that some politi- cal friend can pass up the truly most qualified person. I do not believe that politics is dead yet in Luzerne County. I do understand the argu- ment for why names should not be released. Some people say that it will prevent highly qualified candidates from applying and it can put their current jobs at risk. This is a valid argument and I respect it; but there also is no way that we can prove that will happen. I believe this impor- tant position, which will pay more than $100,000 in annual salary, will still attract many qualified candidates even if they know their names will be made known to the public. The responsibility of county council is to look out for the residents of Luzerne County, not for the jobs of applicants. I realize that there are peo- ple who will have different opinions on this issue. For those who disagree with my stance, please understand that my reasoning for this is solely driven by a desire to prevent any person who is highly qualified for this extremely important position from being passed up for some not-so- qualified, political friend. As a member of the Govern- ment Study Commission who helped to write this home rule charter, I understand the im- portance of this county man- ager position and realize that if we do not hire the most qualified person at the start of this new government, the future success of Luzerne County will take that much longer to achieve. The key of this new home rule government is account- ability, and in order for the public to hold county council accountable, the public needs to be able to see everything – which includes the names of applicants for the county manager position. Rick Morelli Member, Home Rule Transition Committee and Candidate Luzerne County Council Sugarloaf Township A 5K benefit run to help Help Line M any years ago, Help Line received a call from a single mother who didn’t have the money to pay for her gas bill, which was necessary to heat her home. The prob- lem had persisted over several months, resulting in a fear that if the gas was shut off, the children might have been removed from the home. The bill was more than $1,000, which she just didn’t have. To complicate the mat- ter, she was convinced that her bill was inaccurate. The gas company had gone to her house to address the concern but could find no error. The diligence of the Help Line staff in coordinating services, working closely with the Commission on Economic Opportunity and in advocating for the young woman resulted in uncovering a billing error and no interruption in service. The young mother became an advocate for Help Line and located employment, working with an organization whose mission was to help others in need. For nearly 40 years, Help Line has assisted people in our community around the clock with needs ranging from locating resources for utility assistance to infant nutrition to care services for the elderly. The vitality of the program has consistently grown, as evidenced by the number of consumer contacts made: 99,775 in the past year. The recently adopted state budget and other funding cuts have placed Help Line in jeop- ardy. Reduced staffing has resulted in reduced ability to respond to those in need. While the program continues to provide service around the clock, it can no longer provide advocacy to the extent it once did. While we applaud the suc- cessful efforts of our local state legislators to partially restore funds that initially had been eliminated in the state budget, Help Line now asks for your help. On Aug. 14, Family Service Association, the parent agency for the Help Line program, will hold the Pauly Friedman 5K Family Walk/Run at Miser- icordia University. All pro- ceeds from the event are used to support Help Line. Registration for the event begins at 8:30 a.m. at the university’s Anderson Com- plex, but pre-registration is strongly encouraged by con- tacting 823-5144, extension 309. Teams are forming now, so get your friends and your family to support this worthy program. Help Line will continue to be there for your call; please respond to ours. Michael Zimmerman Executive director Family Service Association Wilkes-Barre ‘Juskie’ stood tall in the Heights T o all who knew him as “Juskie,” this man had a name: Joseph Kochanski. But he will be remembered as Juskie, the “Godfather of Baseball” (as one of his former players noted on Facebook) in the Heights area of Wilkes- Barre. He was a man who put the neighborhood children above everything. When Juskie was at the helm, no child in the area, in Little League and “Teeners,” would go a summer without being afforded the opportunity to play “Juskie Ball.” Juskie knew every player’s first and last names, knew their parents and knew where every kid lived. Juskie treated every kid with respect wheth- er it was the all-star or the beginner. If a kid needed a glove, he got him one the next day. Not only was this guy the glue that kept both divisions running smoothly for many years, he also coached some pretty impressive Heights Teeners teams over his tenure. He knew the game and had a great knack of being able to translate his knowledge to the kids he coached. There are very few con- versations dealing with Heights baseball and GAR baseball that can start and end without Juskie’s name coming up somewhere in the con- versation. Juskie touched so many lives and will long be remem- bered and respected by all the kids he served, and by all of his peers as well. Long live “Juskie Ball.” Sheldon Owens Wilkes-Barre Pay attention or pay consequences F ormer House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is the one who would deem a bill passed and then carefully look at it afterward to see what was in it. She is the one who ad- vocated that no longer would there be any deficit spending. The shadow government of czars and operatives appoint- ed by Obama without congres- sional vetting is the scariest. These bureaucrats were placed there to implement Obama’s vision of America, not the electorate’s vision. Obama and his cohorts do not understand free market cap- italism, “the goose that laid the golden egg” for America. Cut out stupid programs such as poems in zoos, shrimps walking on tread- mills, creating a new foods chart, etc. Budget deficits are the result of growing govern- ment and spending money we don’t have on pet projects. The question on taxes: What about the nearly 50 percent of Americans who do not pay any taxes? Obama’s political genius is his ability to say things that will sound good to people who have not followed the issues in any detail, regardless of how obviously fraudulent what he says might be to those who have. Shameless effrontery can be a huge political asset, especially if uninformed vot- ers outnumber those who are informed.

DALLAS — The most violent and sensational cases with links to domestic violence are hard to miss in the newspaper and on tel- evision news. There was Susan Loper, the Frisco, Texas, mom and fitness instructor who was killed in April, allegedly by a former boy- friend who later jumped into the Grand Canyon to escape police. Police were searching for the husband of Maritza Panameno, the Irving, Texas, mother of three whose body was found in the Trinity River the same month. And on Saturday, 35-year-old Tan Do shot and killed his es- tranged wife, Trini Do, and four other members of her family at a children’s birthday party before taking his own life. For every one of those high- profile killings, there are thou- sands of family violence assaults, threats and other crimes that no one hears about. The abuse, which may start small, often es- calates over time, according to experts. Some victims are afraid to leave their abusers, and re- ports show that victims can ac- tuallyface more danger if theytry to move on. The operators of women’s shel- ters say that they are now busier than ever. In addition, those pro- grams are struggling with fewer resources because of government cuts and reduced donations. This summer, The Family Place has had to turn away wom- en trying to escape abuse be- cause its shelter has been full. And Genesis Women’s Shelter in Dallas reports record demand, with 400 names on a waiting list for counseling. “The statistics are very grim,” said Pat Tosi, chief executive offi- cer of Hope’s Door, a Plano do- mestic violence program. “Peo- ple don’t even want to hear about this. They don’t want to hear that it’s all over the place.” The prevalence of domestic vi- olence means that most of us probably know someone who is being abused. “It could be the person check- ingyouout at thegrocerystoreor working at the doctor’s office,” said Derrelynn Perryman, vic- tims’ services coordinator for the Arlington Police Department. The department files reports on more than 3,000 family violence incidents per year, and half of the city’s 14 homicides in 2011 in- volved family domestic violence. The violence goes on much more than most people realize, said Dallas Police Lt. Diana Watts. Dallas reported more than 13,000 family violence cases in 2010. “Our caseload is high but it stays behindcloseddoors. It’s not where we can see it,” Watts said. “People are going to jobs every day bruised from the neck down where we can’t see.” More than 40 percent of Texas shelters donot haveenoughmon- ey to meet the rising needs, ac- cording to an annual survey by the National Network to End Do- mestic Violence in Washington, D.C. Many shelters have cut servic- es and staff because of the econo- my, according to another recent study by Dallas-based Mary Kay Inc. Meanwhile, victims arestaying longer than they have in the past at The Family Place, said Paige Flink, the Dallas agency’s execu- tive director. Those seeking help can’t find jobs or affordable homes, slowing the pipeline from the shelter into housing pro- grams. “It makes it hard to serve as many people because you’re serv- ing them longer,” Flink said. Some attribute increased fam- ily violence to the struggling economy. But local shelter offi- cials caution that economic fac- tors alone do not cause someone to be abusive. “Not having money isn’t going to make him beat you; it’s an ele- ment to a situation that’s very tough as it is,” Flink said. Much progress on the domes- tic abuse front has been made the past fewdecades, withmore shel- ters being opened and more laws passed to protect victims. There also is more public awareness — and at an earlier age. Dating-violence programs are teaching the youngest gener- ation to recognize red flags for abusive behavior early on. Many teens are taught in schools to be careful with people who are pos- sessive or withthose whopushto get into a serious relationship quickly. But JanLangbein, executive di- rector of Genesis Women’s Shel- ter, says she is frustrated that the violence remains high. Langbein said friends can do something about abuse by just checking on one another. She wishes she had done that with her friend Mary Richardson. The University Park woman was murdered in1999 by her hus- band, Timothy Patrick Richard- son, whostrangledandnearly de- capitated her. He was sentenced to 60 years in prison. Langbein said she did not know her friend was in danger, and she wonders whether there were any signs she may have missed. “I never said, ‘Mary, are you OK?’ ” Langbein said. People experiencing abuse may not reach out because they do not always see themselves as victims, Flink said. Some blame themselves for the violence. Oth- ers may fail to recognize the po- tential seriousness and conse- quences. “It either feels verynormal or it is minimized,” she said. “Some- times I think the victim underes- timates howbadit couldpossibly get.” Roller rink slayings show reach of domestic violence By KIMHORNER The Dallas Morning News THE TIMES LEADER SUNDAY, JULY 31, 2011 C M Y K timesleader.com etc.Entertainment Travel Culture S E C T I O N F I n summer, local minds tend to focus on where they’re go- ing, away from here. After all, what is a vacationif not anop- portunity to get out of town? But like the Philadelphianwhohasn’t seen the Liberty Bell or the New Yorker who has yet to climb the steps of Lady Liberty, you might not be exactly acquainted with what’s right under your nose. If your “away” vacation is already over, per- haps nowis the time to enjoy the attractions right here at home, ei- ther by yourself or with friends who live elsewhere and still have time and desire to get away somewhere. Invite them here, we say. Times Leader photographers chose a dozen don’t-miss spots any native Northeastern Penn- sylvanian would do well to visit, often, or shouldbeproudtoshow off to a guest. S. JOHN WILKIN/THE TIMES LEADER If you don’t quite know how to explain King Coal history to a visitor, let what’s left of the Huber Breaker, off Main Street in Ashley, do the talking. While there, you can see the future site of the Huber Breaker Northern Anthracite Coal Field Miner’s Memorial Park. You might even want to contribute a dollar or two to the cause. AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER The conductor of Diesel Locomotive 664, Paul Rat- cliffe, talks with engineer Don Young while fueling up at the Steamtown National Historic Site in Scranton. Not taking a train excursion while in Northeastern Pennsylvania is like not going for a swim while at the shore, some would argue. Steamtown regularly offers two-hour Scranton-to-Moscow runs on Saturdays that include a stopover at a restored 1904 train station. Call 340-5204 or visit nps.gov/stea for details. DON CAREY/THE TIMES LEADER We also may not have the waves of an ocean, but we do have falling water aplenty. In fact, Ricketts Glen State Park, off Route 118 near Dallas Township, alone contains 22 named waterfalls. Adams Falls can fairly be called the ‘parking-lot falls’ for their easily accessible beauty right below the parking lot. Check out the upper pool (not for swimming) and the flat, mossy rocks that almost beckon you to climb all over them. Wear sensible shoes, and bring water, however! Exploring anything inside the breathtaking Ricketts Glen is glorious but poten- tially strenuous. CLARK VAN ORDEN/THE TIMES LEADER We may not be the Upper Peninsula of Michigan or that Land O’ Lakes called Minnesota, but we sure do have our share of restful water. Eagles Mere Lake in Sullivan County, near the two-mile-square borough of the same name, is one of the most picturesque and has even secured a spot in the National Register of Historic Places. The lake and town are lovely enough for the New York Times to have taken notice. In 2006, a reporter for the Gray Lady wrote: ‘People give their houses names like Kozy Korner and By-Da-Wee and pick up their mail at the post office. The hub of downtown is the Sweet Shop, part soda fountain and part casual restaurant. The 114-acre lake is surrounded by hemlocks and laurel and has a swimming dock, a small sand beach, canoes and sailboats for rent and an old-fashioned green wooden bathhouse. Jet Skis and gas-powered motorboats are forbidden. A 26-foot wooden boat dating to the World War I era, the Hardly Able, carries passengers around the lake.’ S. JOHN WILKIN/THE TIMES LEADER The Millennium Circle at the River Common in Wilkes-Barre is about the best evidence we have that downtown isn’t what it used to be, and that’s a good thing. Ride a bike, take a stroll, and don’t forget to wave to the fishers and kayakers out making the most of the Susquehanna. PETE G. WILCOX/THE TIMES LEADER Nothing quite speaks to the NEPA spirit of adventure like white- water rafting along the Lehigh River in Carbon County. Summer- time is especially easy on all skill levels, as the water is not as wild, and wetsuits are often optional. Experienced guides from outfitters such as Whitewater Challengers, Pocono Whitewater or JimThorpe River Adventures will see to your safety. FRED ADAMS/FOR THE TIMES LEADER Take them out to a ballgame at the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees Stadium. August begins with Bats, Bulls and Braves face-offs and finishes in the Red, with battles against Red Wings and Sox. Giveaway fans will want to show up Saturday, when the first 2000 fans to the gate will score aluminum sport bottles, or Aug. 27, when jersey bags are the booty.

Something is always kept when you give, and in today’s case, it’s big. Perhaps it’s only a feel- ing, but it has weight and impact. You’ll carry it with you for years to come. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Creativity isn’t something you acquire; it’s something you’ve had all along. Like Dorothy’s ruby slippers, you only need to know how to access the magic in order to be transported. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You reduce your expecta- tions and resign yourself to accept what comes. It’s not because you’re pessimistic. It’s because you love the feeling of being pleasantly surprised by life. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You are likely to misjudge your own capabilities, underestimating your strength and stamina. When you feel depleted, push through. You’ll get a second wind and accomplish something remarkable. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Loved ones have a way of get- ting under your skin. Only those who know you best can say the things that bother you most. Luckily for them, you will be in a merciful mood. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It is very rare to succeed on the first try, and it may also be unlucky. It’s far better to experience the entire learning curve. Then you’ll be able to re-create your success at will. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Instead of dismissing a new process as “not for you,” think of it as an exercise and dive right in. The only way to make sure you’re not submitting to complacency is to learn something new. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll take a chance and be very proud of yourself at the end of it, whether or not it turns out the way you hoped it would. Your ability to be in the moment is impressive. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The one you love may grapple with people you don’t admire. However, you’ll adhere to excellent boundaries. You’ll live and let live. This policy will prove to be truly brilliant. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your ability to pace yourself will prove most useful. You’ll be a rock for someone you love. You can’t tell now how far this gesture will reach. This is one for the decades. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The look you give people matters. It may be a tiny micro-expression, but it reads loud and clear. You make your innermost feelings known, especially to those who have been, up until now, quite unobservant. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll be around those who have little self-control, and you’ll realize just how important it is to maintain a certain amount of struc- ture around your daily activities. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 31). You are warm and inviting. You can be this way because you don’t have a fear of getting close to people. August sees you in the mood to learn and love. September and December are high points for your personal and professional develop- ment. A leap of faith leads to thrilling adventure in November. Libra and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 1, 14, 39 and 28.

DEAR ABBY Mom’s death interrupts progress of romance Dear Abby: I’m a 47-year- old woman who started dating “Earl” about three weeks ago. We had gotten off to a great start. We talk easily, we’re comfortable with each other and we seem to share values. Last week, Earl’s mom passed away, which has made continuing the rela- tionship difficult. He was close to her and is going through a rough time. I’m willing to stick by him and go through this painful process with him. I have been through it myself. Earl said he still wants to see me, but because of what he’s dealing with, if someone else comes along, I should take that opportunity. Abby, I don’t want to look for anyone else. I already care a lot for Earl, but I’m confused about what to do. I have had enough hurt to last me the rest of me life, and I know Earl could tell me at any time that he can no longer handle this because of his situation. Please tell me what I should do. — Lady in Waiting Dear Lady In Waiting: You seem like a nice, but needy lady. You have known Earl a grand total of three weeks, which is not long enough for either of you to make serious plans. Right now Earl needs your support and friendship more than he needs a ro- mance, so slow down. Dear Abby: I have found my soul mate. We have a new- born son and are very happy. We plan to be married next year, after we have saved enough for the wedding. I have been hiding a se- cret from him. I have had bulimia for 20 years. Should I tell him before we marry? I am terrified it will harm our relationship. How can I tell him without hurting him? I’m afraid he won’t understand what it will take for me to heal myself. Please advise, Abby. — Keeping It to Myself Dear Keeping It To Your- self: You should absolutely tell him before you marry. You should also be prepared to answer any questions he may ask about your eating disorder. What would hurt him and harm your relation- ship would be to marry him without his knowing the facts about your illness. If he is truly your soul mate, he won’t run away. He will stand by you and support you any way he can.

It happens on a daily basis on the Looff Carousel at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, where painted ponies have been spin- ning for a century, a triumph of tradition in a field dominated by the pursuit of new thrills. “I love it,” says 57-year-oldGer- ry Watt of Sacramento, who has been visiting the Boardwalk for decades and was “never too cool for the carousel, even in my teens.” The Boardwalk, set beside the long, golden sweep of Santa Cruz Main Beach, goes back to 1865 when a man named John Lei- brandt opened a public bath- house nearby. Others followed and soon Santa Cruz was draw- ing people who wanted to enjoy the allegedly curative properties of bathing in salt water. Restaurants and curio shops, followed and at the turn of the 20th century, promoter Fred W. Swanton decided to open a casi- no and boardwalk that would be the “Coney Island of the West.” The carousel made its debut in August 1911, built by Charles I.D. Looff, a master woodcarver from Denmark. Looff had already made his name withhis first com- plete carousel placed at Coney Is- land in New York. Back then, rides cost a nickel. Today, the carousel, which has been designated a National His- toric Landmark, costs $3 a spin. Looff apparently had a puckish sense of humor. The story is that he chose the middle initials “I.D.” after Ellis Island immigration of- ficials told him he had to have a middle name “for his I.D.” You can see that humorous vein in the carousel horses, sever- al of which boast toothy smiles. The horses have real horsehair tails and details ranging from swords to flashing jewels. Some have items strapped behind the saddles, including a sheep and a pheasant. Thereare73horses —71jump- ers plus two stationary horses that are good for parents with un- steady young riders — as well as two chariots decorated with the heads of rams and cherubs. The big draw of the carousel is its ring dispenser. Rings were once handed out by “ring boys,” but since 1950, the process has been mechanized. The rings —mostly steel these days except on special occasions when brass-plated ones are used — are dispensed by a long arm that riders on outside horses can reach. Yougraba ring, throwit to- ward the gaping mouth of a large clownpaintedonabackdropnear the carousel and, if successful, are rewarded by bells and flash- ing lights. Scoring a hit is a kick, one that often is denied the left-handed Watts, although that doesn’t stop him from rushing to secure an outside horse. “It’s really difficult. There’s something about the trajectory,” he says. The music has a vintage sound, provided for 100 years by a 342- pipe Ruth und Sohn band organ built in 1894. In 2007, the Board- walk acquired a Wurlitzer band organ from the closed Playland- at-the-Beach amusement park in SanFrancisco, andthere is a third small Wurlitzer organ. The carousel has had its mo- ment in the spotlight, being fea- tured in films including “The Lost Boys,” “The King of Love,” and ‘Sudden Impact.” Along with rides that range fromkiddie to fairly thrilling, the Boardwalk has the usual games of chance, arcades and tempting goodies, including deep-fried Twinkies and Oreos. If you’re up for a brief walk, the Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf is less than half a mile away, featur- ing several restaurants and curio shops. A fun choice is the take-away window at The Dolphin at the end of the wharf which serves up a tasty clam chowder in a bread bowl. Fenced holes in the wharf’s planking allows you to get a look at sea lions that may be basking below while you wait for lunch. Watchout for the seagulls; they’ll steal your food if you leave it un- attended.

Scott Fitzgerald is evident in this compila- tion of 19 of his previous- ly published items and ar- ticles, writ- ten mostly for popular mag- azines during 1920-1940. Edited by Fitzgerald scholar James L.W. West III, the collection is billed as an autobiography because the famed American novelist and short story writ- er keeps the focus on him- self, his views and critiques, his celebrated life and times. The personal essays are frequently funny and fast- paced, particularly during the 1920s when he enjoyed huge literary success and, with his spirited wife, Zelda, came to embody the Jazz Age. But beset by personal problems and a marital breakup as the 1930s ground into the Great Depression, a somber side of Fitzgerald shows through in the later pieces. In a 1936 article for Esquire magazine, “After- noon of an Author,” Fitzger- ald writes of his “growing se- clusion ... and the increasing necessity of picking over a well-picked past.” But this is not “The Crack- Up,” the collection of Fitz- gerald nonfiction published five years after his death in 1940, which West says paints Fitzgerald as “an apologist for the 1920s, a chronicler of remorse and regret, and a student of failure and lost hope.” “A Short Autobiography” is full of lighthearted prose as Fitzgerald employs a va- riety of unconventional structures — a witty self-in- terview and a guided tour of a house, for example — along with the serious essays of a memoirist. As West notes, many of these pieces were written for the paycheck — handsome paychecks, too — and at times it’s easy for a reader to tell. But even the self-inter- view, which Fitzgerald wrote when he was 23 and didn’t see published in his lifetime, contains memorable lines: “My idea is always to reach my generation. The wise writer, I think, writes for the youth of his own generation, the critic of the next and the schoolmasters of ever after- ward.” The pieces in “A Short Au- tobiography” don’t often evoke the lyrically powerful prose of “The Great Gatsby,” Fitzgerald’s iconic American novel. Still, his gift is evi- dent, even in a piece on Prin- ceton University, as he de- scribes entering the campus: “Two tall spires and then suddenly all around you spreads out the loveliest riot of Gothic architecture in America.” Fifteen of these 19 pieces appeared in a 2005 collec- tion, “My Lost City: Personal Essays, 1920-1940,” publish- ed by Cambridge University Press and edited by West. This new volume is more accessible to the casual Fitz- gerald reader — the hardcov- er is $25, paperback is $15 and e-book is $9.99, com- pared with the Cambridge edition’s price tag of more than $100. Light side of Fitzgerald evident in new book By KENDAL WEAVER For The Associated Press F or ancient Romans, “Carthage Must Be Destroyed” hadtobe the wave of the future if they were to become the unrivaled masters of the Mediterranean and the lands on its shores. Look at a map. Carthage, a colony of seagoingPhoenicians fromwhat is nowLebanon, was strate- gically on the Mediterranean’s south coast, halfway between its Middle East home- land and the entry to the Atlantic. It was building an empire of its own, subjecting tribes in North Africa, Spain and the big islands of Sicily, Sardinia and Corsica. The cry to destroy Carthage was taken up by Cato, one of Rome’s most respected sen- ators. He got intothe habit of us- ing the slogan as the last sen- tence of any speech he made — no matter what he’d been talk- ing about. That disconcerting practice must have helped give Romans a case of the jitters when Hannibal, Carthage’s greatest general, mountedanin- vasion of Italy, complete with African combat elephants. It went through Spain, southern France and the Alps, up to the gates of Rome. That invasion failed, but a Roman invasion of Carthage succeeded. This is a scholar’s book. Au- thor Richard Miles teaches an- cient history at the University of Sydney, Australia, and writes here about events long past. He has to quote copiously from Greek and Roman historians, some of dubious reliability and little concern with today’s ideas of fairness and entertainment. The victorious Romans got rid of Carthage’s own records, along with temples and other public institutions. The book has color photos of the ruins, made in a suburb of today’s Tu- nis. Some of the stories are still teasingly attractive. Theelephants impressedpeo- ple. Smaller than the Asian va- riety, they may still have been able to carry archers, but they sometimes panicked and tram- pled on their own infantry, an ancient version of “friendly fire.” The Romans killed some, captured some others and marched them in the triumphal parades that celebrated their victories. Some people marveled that the Carthaginians got the ele- phants across the broad Rhone River in southern France. Poly- bius, a Greek who wrote Roman history, may have shared the de- lusion that elephants couldn’t swim. “...(He) even repeated a story that some of Hannibal’s ele- phants, panicked by the water, plunged into the river, and crossed to the other side by walking underwater on the riv- erbed and using their trunks as snorkels,” Miles writes.

See what the glaciers have wrought as you attempt to keep your balance on this huge expanse of nothing but rocks that’s been desig- nated a National Natural Landmark. Again, sensible shoes are a must. AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER AT LEFT: Ithaca, N.Y., might be ‘gorges,’ but Northeastern Penn- sylvania is no slouch in that department. The David Wenzel Tree- house at Scranton’s Nay Aug Park provides the perfect lookout point, as the first-of-its-kind construction in Pennsylvania, com- pleted by Forever Young Treehouses, sits a spectacular 150 feet above the Nay Aug Gorge. While in the park area, little ones are sure to enjoy the inexpensive waterslides that drop into a large, public pool. BILL TARUTIS/FOR THE TIMES LEADER If you’re not afraid of depths, you’ll enjoy dropping 300 feet in a small metal car while taking the popular Lackawanna Coal Mine Tour at McDade Park in Scranton. On a hot summer day, the ride to see what lies beneath is especially cooling, not to mention educational. You’ll learn about different veins of hard coal, the roles of mule boy and nipper, monkey vein and the dead chute as well as all the heroic efforts involved in deep mining’s history. Rides are scheduled on demand daily between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Call 1-800-238-7245 or 570-963-6463 for details. CLARK VAN ORDEN/THE TIMES LEADER Now does this say postcard or what? The Twin Bridges in Fishing Creek Township, Columbia County, over Huntington Creek, were constructed in 1884 for $720 and named after John Paden, who operated a nearby sawmill. The dynamic duo, one of which is shown here, can claim bragging rights as the only twin covered bridges in the United States. PETE G.

You will love what is both inside and out at 83 E. Vaughn St., just off Wyoming Ave. in Kingston. Conve- niently located in an established neighbor- hood, this 1,576 square foot home has three bedrooms, one and a half baths and is in meticulous condition. Take posses- sion of the key and move right in. Listed by Joan Evans of Joan Evans Real Estate for $139,900, this home has beautiful hardwood flooring, pocket doors, and two sunrooms, one on each floor, that overlook the back yard and all its flowers. Either one would make a great place to sleep on a hot summer night. Much larger than you might expect, the third floor of the home contains two large rooms that could easily serve as additional bedrooms. The half bath and a family room can be found in the finished basement. A large covered porch makes for a great place to welcome guests. They will enter into a 10-by-13 foyer, large enough to serve as a sitting room. Here you get the first look at the home’s beautiful hardwood floors. There is a window to the right and a second window on the landing of the stairs to the second floor. A left takes you into the 11-by-13 living room. The hardwood flooring continues here and accents a freestanding electric fireplace with wooden surround. Two stained glass windows flank the fireplace. A double window faces front and double pocket doors open to the rear to the 11- by-16 dining room. A space that could also be used as a family room, this comfort- able room has white walls, hardwood floors and a double side window. Accents include a brass chandelier and a wall air conditioning unit. The nearby galley kitchen measures 11- by-5 and has a separate 10-by-12 breakfast room. Both areas have blue and white vinyl tile flooring and are decorated with white wallpaper with blue stripes and an apple print trim. A door leads to the rear and there are two windows that open to the side. The galley kitchen features butcher block print Formica countertops set over white wooden cabinets.
