Strong quake hits NE Japan
A
strong earthquake with a magni-
tude of 7.1 hit Japans northeastern
coast on Sunday, prompting a tsunami
warning for the area still recovering
from a devastating quake and killer
wave four months ago.
Residents in coastal areas were
warned to evacuate, but there were no
immediate reports of damage.
A warning of a possible tsunami was
issued for most of the northeastern
coastline. The epicenter of the quake
was in the Pacific Ocean off the coast
of Japans main island, Honshu, at a
depth of about 6 miles. Officials said
they expected a tsunami of less than
one meter in some areas.
Officials said there were no reports
of abnormalities at the Fukushima
plant caused by Sundays quake.
Sundays quake registered 4 on the
Japanese scale of 7, meaning it was felt
as moderately strong. Because of the
damage from the March quake and
tsunami, however, many buildings in
the area are structurally weak and
seawalls have been destroyed, making
the region more vulnerable to relatively
weaker quakes.
JUBA, SOUTH SUDAN
Celebrating nations 1st day
South Sudan celebrated its first day
as an independent nation Saturday,
raising its flag before tens of thousands
of cheering citizens elated to reach the
end of a 50-year struggle.
U.S. President Barack Obama called
the day a new dawn after the darkness
of war, while visiting dignitaries of-
fered both congratulations and prod-
ding for South Sudan and its former
ruler, Sudan, to avoid a return to con-
flict over serious and unresolved dis-
agreements.
The eyes of the world are now on
us, said South Sudan President Salva
Kiir, who was inaugurated during a
scorching midday ceremony. Kiir
stressed that the people of South Su-
dan must advance their country togeth-
er, and unite as countrymen first, cast-
ing aside allegiances to the dozens of
tribes that reside here.
Saturday meant that South Sudan
and its black tribesmen would for the
first time be linked politically with
sub-Saharan Africa. Kenya and Uganda
are already laying strong economic ties
with their northern neighbor, an oil-
rich country that may one day ship its
oil to a Kenyan port, instead of through
pipelines controlled by Sudan.
BEIRUT
Report rips Syria leaders
Syrian commanders told security
forces they were fighting terrorists and
ordered them to open fire on anti-
regime demonstrations even after they
found unarmed protesters instead,
Human Rights Watch said Saturday in
a report citing defectors from President
Bashar Assads regime.
The New York-based group quoted
some of the defectors as saying that
they feared they could have been shot
themselves if they refused to obey
orders. One reported seeing a military
officer shoot dead two soldiers in the
southern city of Daraa for that reason.
KARACHI, PAKISTAN
Control regained in city
Pakistani forces regained control
Saturday over trouble spots in the
nations largest city, where five days of
political and ethnic violence killed at
least 93 people and forced many to stay
at home in fear, an official said.
The fighting in Karachi, a southern
port city of 18 million people, has add-
ed to the political instability in this
nuclear-armed, U.S.-allied nation and
provided another distraction for the
government as it fights a Taliban-led
insurgency. It also undercuts the coun-
trys struggling economy, because
Karachi is its main commercial hub.

KABUL, Afghanistan Al-Qaidas
defeat is within reach, U.S. Defense
Secretary Leon Panetta said Saturday
during his first visit to Afghanistan as
Pentagon chief. He said eliminating as
fewas10of the groups topfigures could
cripple its ability to strike the West.
Panettas assessment could stoke the
debate in Washington over howsoon to
pull the U.S. military from the land
where Osama bin Ladens network
launched the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001,
against the United States. Some ques-
tion why a continued military commit-
ment is necessary if al-Qaidas end is in
sight, given that it was the reason the
U.S. began the war.
Although not as specific as Panetta
about what it will take to break al-Qai-
da, the top American commander in Af-
ghanistan said in a separate interview
that he agrees the group is on the ropes.
There has been enormous damage
done to al-Qaida beyond bin Ladens
killing May 2 in Pakistan. Army Gen.
David Petraeus said. That has very sig-
nificantly disrupted their efforts and it
does hold the prospect of a strategic de-
feat, if you will, a strategic dismantling,
of al-Qaida.
Panetta said he hoped his shift from
CIA director to defense secretary, com-
bined with a change of U.S. civilian and
military leaders in Kabul, will put the
troubled U.S.-Afghan relationship
back on the right track.
Mixed with the optimism was a hint
of concern about resetting the Obama
administrations increasingly rocky re-
lationship with Afghan President Ha-
mid Karzai. He frequently criticizes the
U.S. military and is known to offer what
American officials see as weak support
for his own fledgling army and police.
Panetta pointedly noted that the U.S.
feels compelled to deal with a lot of
leaders throughout the world who have
problems ... and thats the situation
here. We have to respect him as presi-
dent of his country.

WASHINGTON House Re-
publicanbudget negotiators have
abandoned plans to pursue a
massive$4trillion, 10-year deficit
reduction package in the face of
stiff GOP opposition to any plan
that would increase taxes as part
of the deal.
House Speaker John Boehner
informed President Barack Oba-
ma Saturday that a smaller agree-
ment of about $2 trillion was
more realistic.
The White House did not have
an immediate reaction.
In a statement issued Saturday
evening, Boehner said: Despite
good-faith efforts to find com-
mon ground, the White House
will not pursue a bigger debt re-
duction agreement without tax
hikes.
Boehners statement came a
daybefore he andsevenof the top
House and Senate leaders were
scheduled to meet at the White
House in a negotiating session
andlayout their remainingdiffer-
ences.
A deficit reduction deal is cru-
cial to win Republican support
for an increase in the nations
debt ceiling. The governments
borrowing capacity is currently
capped at $14.3 trillion and ad-
ministration officials say it will
go into default without action by
Aug. 2.
Obama tried to build political
support for anambitious package
of spending cuts and newtax rev-
enue that would reduce the debt
by $4 trillion over 10 years. But
fromthe moment he proposed it,
Republicans said they would re-
ject any tax increases and Demo-
crats objectedto spending cuts in
some of their most prized benefit
programs, including Medicare,
Medicaid and Social Security.

DARIEN, N.Y. A U.S. Army veter-
an who lost both legs in Iraq and had
been trying to rebuild his life was killed
after he was thrown from a roller coast-
er at an upstate New York amusement
park.
Teams of inspectors on Saturday were
examining the Ride of Steel coaster at
the Darien Lake Theme Park Resort,
about 30 miles east of Buffalo.
Sgt. James Thomas Hackemer, 29,
was ejected from the 208-foot-tall ride
early Friday evening, after climbing
aboard during an outing with family
and friends. Authorities and a park spo-
keswoman declined to say at what point
in the ride the accident occurred.
The wounded veteran was missing all
of his left leg and most of his right one,
as well as part of a hip, and had only
recently returned for good to his par-
ents home in Gowanda following years
in and out of rehabilitation at hospitals
around the northeast U.S.
It wasnt immediately clear whether
attendants at the theme park had given
any thought to barring Hackemer from
the ride because of his missing limbs.
Hackemers sister , Jody, said Satur-
day she believes that for the minute her
brother was on the ride, he probably felt
the happiest he had been in recent years
after losing his legs in Iraq in 2008.

bridges and roadways.
The dam that supports the
lake held strong, but the spill-
over gushed into Bear Creek,
causing it to rise as high as the
dam, Mitchell said. The water
ripped apart a bridge and as-
phalt on state Route 115 and
flooded several more properties
as it continued its path.
In Plymouth, 5 to 7 inches of
rain in a short period of time
last Sunday night caused mas-
sive runoff from Plymouth
Mountain into the Coal Street
Creek. The creek swelled, wip-
ing out infrastructure and da-
maging properties along its
banks.
Freak occurrences
In both places, the flooding
was a freak, unfamiliar occur-
rence, he said.
We had people who never
had water near their homes and
certainly not in their basements
who now experienced this cata-
strophic event, Mitchell said.
The mayor had been working
in Plains Township that after-
noon when his son called to
alert him to the chaos unfolding
in the borough. It was sunny in
Plains.
I thought he was pulling my
leg, he recalled.
On a recent before-and-after
retrospective drive through the
borough, the mayor stopped at
the Beaupland Road home of
John and Victoria Glod.
Sand Spring Run Creek, one
of the lakes feeder tributaries,
runs through their property.
The rain burst through an up-
stream dam, and the rushing
creek blew through a bridge and
Beaupland Road, leaving an 80-
foot gap in the roadway, Mitch-
ell said.
There were thousands of
tons of boulders and debris and
water that tore this whole area
up, Mitchell recalled.
Glod vividly recalls every de-
tail of the flood day. He returned
home from doing errands, made
lunch and watched the creek.
We had a bridge, and in 15
minutes, it was gone, he said.
As the growing creek pulver-
ized his yard and crept closer to
his home, he decided to move
his car to higher ground. By the
time he walked back, his macad-
am driveway had folded up.
He alerted his wife, who was
working in Wilkes-Barre and,
like Mitchell, was oblivious to
the flooding.
The water dumped piles of
boulders more than six feet high
onto their property, but they
were relieved their home was
not flooded. A guest home on
their property sustained water
damage.
It was scary, John Glod re-
called.
Mitchell also visited Railroad
Lane on his recent drive, point-
ing to the spot where the home
of Michelle and Shawn Evans
once stood. Part of the home
had been knocked off its founda-
tion, and water reached the
homes upper level.
The Evanses had been forced
to climb onto their roof with
their two dogs. They were
pulled to safety by a rescue boat
that then got swept away by the
swift current. Another rescue
crew managed to use a rope to
reel in the boat.
Here we were in the dark try-
ing to spot these people, Mitch-
ell said.
Swatting pesky bugs, Mitchell
admired a blue heron, a sign
that fish are plentiful in the once
again peaceful waterway that
winds around the property.
A garage is all that remains of
the structure, and the couple
ended up moving out of the bor-
ough, he said.
Another flood-damaged home
closer to the Glods also was
torn down when a new property
owner opted to rebuild on the
site at a higher elevation, Mitch-
ell said.
The state quickly repaired
state Route 115, but seeking gov-
ernment assistance for other re-
pairs was an agonizing proc-
ess, Mitchell said.
It reminds me of the South-
west Airlines commercial where
a gigantic ball of red tape is
about to roll over you, and you
couldnt get anywhere, Mitchell
said.
Lessons to learn from
The villages experience in re-
covering may hold lessons for
Plymouth residents facing mas-
sive damage caused by last
weeks flooding. While some re-
pairs were made quickly and
funded by the state and county,
much was left to property own-
ers.
Damage in the village and
neighboring Bear Creek Town-
ship was estimated at $5 mil-
lion, and the borough ended up
receiving a $30,000 state grant
to repair Sand Spring Run Creek
and county community develop-
ment funding he couldnt re-
call the amount to bridge the
gap on Beaupland Road.
The rest of the damage was
repaired by residents and volun-
teers, including several compa-
nies that provided heavy equip-
ment and manpower, Mitchell
said. These companies redirect-
ed stream beds and removed
tons of boulders and silt that
had washed down, clogging cul-
verts. The countys road and
bridge department also helped
with clean-up.
Residents had to tap savings
or take out loans to repair dam-
age of personal property be-
cause their insurance wouldnt
cover the damage, he said.
The borough couldnt meet
the requirements to be declared
a disaster area under the Federal
Emergency Management Agen-
cy or to qualify for low-interest
federal Small Business Adminis-
tration recovery loans. To be eli-
gible for the loans, 25 homes
must sustain damage equal to
40 percent of their market value,
he said.
Tough on small towns
Mitchell said legislators
should change the formula be-
cause it is difficult for worthy
tiny municipalities to meet that
minimum. The village has about
300 residents.
The state also fails to budget
funds to cover disaster relief
needs, he said.
The system makes it virtual-
ly impossible for smaller com-
munities to qualify for federal
aid, and the state has no line
item to cover catastrophes,
Mitchell said.

garnishing course, she met a Ha-
zleton Area School District nurse
named Geraldine Shepperson.
She told me there was an
opening at the Hazleton Area Ca-
reer and Technology Center. I ap-
plied and got the job, Tkatch re-
called.
Sheppersonstayedat Hazleton
Area and worked her way up to
superintendent. Tkatch, on the
other hand, continued to spin the
wheel and see what she got. She
landed a principals position at a
Monroe County Career andTech-
nology Center, rising to assistant
director beforegettingthetopjob
at Northwest Area eight years
ago.
When the school board said it
wanted a change in direction,
Tkatch, 53, spun the wheel once
more, this time landing the job of
administrative director at West
Side Career andTechnology Cen-
ter.
While Tkatch is coy about that
Wheel of Fortune stint she won
three rounds there are two top-
ics she eagerly addresses: educa-
tion reform and the paucity of
women in school leadership posi-
tions.
Educators need to take a look
at the way they do business, she
said. Kids today are so different
and so tech-savvy that we need to
meet the needs of students in dif-
ferent ways.
My philosophy is that all kids
go to work, she added.
To that end, she made changes
at Northwest Area. She met
weekly with administrators be-
cause all administrators need to
deliver the same message. And
that message is that we need to
prepare students with a better
understanding of career.
The district brought a career
counselor on board, and re-
tooled the (state-mandated)
graduation project as a career
project, Tkatch said.
Exposing students to career
options can begin, literally, with
the ABCs, Tkatch noted. If A is
for apple, A can also be for archi-
tect.
And throughout grades, les-
sons should be tied to practical
use of the knowledge. Whenstu-
dents can relate the use of geom-
etry or algorithms to real work,
they understand why they have
to do the academics.
At West Side, shes hoping to
further link high schools to the
career center, offering career
counseling for eighth-grade stu-
dents and possibly offering part-
time classes. Maybe a student
planning to be an electrical engi-
neer could spend some time in
our electrical program.
We need to talk to kids more
about their options, she said.
Im living proof. You think you
dont want to go to college? Look
at what doors open when you
continue your education.
While schools need to rework
the way they do things, Tkatch
said school boards need to re-
work their approach to having
women in district leadership
roles.
We need to be considered
equals, and Im not sure that phi-
losophy has been adopted fully
here, she said. People make as-
sumptions on what gender
brings to a role. School districts
need to take a look at the person
and not the gender.
But enough of the deep
thoughts on important issues;
back to that Wheel of Fortune ap-
pearance.
It was in the late 1980s when
the show came to the area and
she tried out, Tkatch said. I won
carpeting, and washer and
dryer.
Yes, that was back when con-
testants had to pick gifts rather
than take money. And no, she
didnt take the legendary ceramic
Dalmatian. (Did anyone?)
What phrases did she get?
Like water off a ducks back,
and Right as rain, she says.
Sounds like she could use ei-
ther as her motto

plex. He stopped by to investigate and
found a broken window, so he contacted
police, Kaschak said.
Harding said the first officer on scene
saw Day walking on a second story cat-
walk that connects the two remaining
buildings at the complex. Day tried to
flee the complex through the front
building at approximately 12:45 p.m.,
but was subdued with a Taser and taken
into police custody, Harding said.
Six police officers then surrounded
the complex and after about 30 minutes
went inside, where they took the second
man, Daniels, into custody at approxi-
mately 1:18 p.m. The Wilkes-Barre Fire
Department also sent a ladder truck to
the complex but it was not used.
Bothmenwill be chargedwithburgla-
ry and criminal trespass, and Day will
additionally be charged with resisting
arrest and providing false identification
to police, police said. The men were ar-
raigned Saturday before District Judge
Fred Pierantoni, police said.
Kaschak said the buildings have fre-
quently been entered by homeless peo-
ple and thieves seeking scrap copper
and aluminum, but there hadnt been
any break-ins in the past month.
The complex has been vacant since
2007, when the bar Slainte shut its
doors there. Previously the building was
home to Murrays Inn and Mickey
Finns.

has beenknittingsince she was 6.
The green-and-white knitted
blanket she was working on is in-
tended for her great-grandchild,
due in December.
Mathers said, I was a very sick
child and I watched my aunt
Catherine knitting. I begged her
to teachme. She bought me a pic-
ture book about knitting and a
ball of yarn. Her first project was
a scarf. She likes coming to the
knitting group for several rea-
sons. I like getting together and
chewing the fat. And I learn
learning how to knit.
I love being with her and do-
ing activities, Maureen said.
She enjoys anything artistic.
The group members were ex-
cited to gain a new member on
Saturday when Len Kalinoski of
Plains Township showed up for
thefirst time. Hebrought insome
unfinished projects of his moth-
ers. He explained, My mom
passed away and Im trying to
keep it going. Mathers was hap-
py to drop her own blanket pro-
ject and help him work on a cro-
cheteddishtowel that his mother
had started. As he added his first
stitches to the project, he looked
up with a smile and said, Its a
great day!

welcomes people of all

while improving their skill
in the arts, practiced for
centuries. Shawna Teer of
the library staff formed
the group last year as a
means of expanding the

Huddled under the shade of a
tree on the corner of East Main
and Broadway streets, some of
the program participants lis-
tened as Mitch Troutman, com-
munication director of the NE-
PA Organizing Center, talked
about the changes in places
such as Nanticoke, which has
experienced the loss of manu-
facturing and mining jobs.
This is just a good example
of what has happened to one of
the downtowns, said Trout-
man.
It didnt look like his city of
Philadelphia, said Daniel Jones,
a student at New York Universi-
ty who is attending leadership
school.
But, he noted, just like in a
small town, a big city sustains a
loss when industries and jobs
move out.

But youll always be in my heart,

Right from the very start.

And it hurts to let you go,
But time goes by and I will never
forget you cause I really loved you so.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia
At least 20,000 Malaysians de-
fied government warnings by
marching for electoral reforms
Saturday, as police fired tear gas
and detained more than 1,600 in
the countrys biggest political ral-
ly in four years.
The crackdown on the opposi-
tion-backed demonstration in
Malaysias main city, Kuala
Lumpur, triggered criticism that
Prime Minister Najib Razaks
long-ruling coalition was unwill-
ing to allow public dissent or
make election laws fairer ahead
of national polls widely expected
by mid-2012.
Najibs administration de-
clared the rally illegal and
warned people repeatedly over
the past month to avoid it. Offi-
cials insisted it was simply an op-
position scheme to spark chaos
and stir anti-government senti-
ment, while activists accused au-
thorities of being afraid of a pro-
test that could undermine their
authority.
Authorities blocked roads,
shut rail stations and deployed
trucks with water cannons near
the Independence Stadium in
downtown Kuala Lumpur where
activists sought to gather. More
than 200 activists had been ar-
rested over the past two weeks
for promoting the rally.
The large number of demon-
strators who showed up despite
the threat of arrests and the dis-
ruptions in transport links bol-
stered claims by activists that the
government had misjudged pub-
lic opinion by not allowing what
would have been a peaceful rally.

HARRISBURG Pennsylva-
nias statewide row offices have
longbeencareer springboards for
ambitious politicians like those
already lining up for the April pri-
maries.
Republican Tom Corbett, the
former state attorney general,
was inaugurated as governor in
January. Democrat Bob Casey
was elected to the U.S. Senate in
2006 after stints as treasurer and
auditor general. AndMike Fisher,
another ex-attorney general, was
appointed to the 3rd U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals in Philadelphia
in2003 by then-President George
W. Bush.
Next year, the offices of attor-
ney general and auditor general
will be open for the first time in
eight years. Democrat Rob
McCord plans to seek re-election
as treasurer, said spokesman Mi-
chael Smith.
Incumbent Attorney General
Linda Kelly has said she wont
seekafull four-year termafter she
completes the year and a half left
in Corbetts term. Auditor Gener-
al JackWagnermuststepdownaf-
tercompletingthemaximumtwo
terms allowedby law.
In both parties, competition is
fiercest for the post of attorney
general, the states chief law-en-
forcement officer, whomanages a
department of morethan700peo-
ple andearns a salary that is near-
ly $148,000 this year. Candidates
and would-be candidates are
crisscrossing the state to meet
with local party leaders and raise
money.
At least two Democrats from
eastern Pennsylvania have de-
clared their candidacy for the
nomination former two-term
U.S. Rep. PatrickMurphyandfor-
mer Lackawanna County prose-
cutor Kathleen Kane and a
third, Jenkintown lawyer Dan
McCaffery, the younger brother
of Pennsylvania Supreme Court
Justice Seamus McCaffery, is ex-
pectedto do so.
Murphy, a lawyer and Iraq war
veteran from Bucks County who
launched his campaign a full year
before the primary, says he has
raised more than $600,000 so far.
In 2004, Corbett eked out a nar-
rowvictory after spending nearly
$4 millioninhis campaign.
This is a serious campaign for
a serious position, Murphy said
in a telephone interview this
week, referring to fundraising.
The Republican Party, which
has held the attorney generals of-
fice since it became anelective of-
fice in1980, may choose its nomi-
nee from a wider geographic
spread.
Third-termstateSen. JohnRaf-
ferty, a former deputy attorney
general from the Philadelphia
suburbs, along with Cumberland
County District Attorney David
Freedincentral Pennsylvaniaand
Washington County District At-
torney Steven Toprani in the
southwestern corner, all con-
firmed Friday that they are con-
sidering seeking the GOPnod.
Toprani said he plans to step
down from his county post after
his term ends in January, but
Freed is running for re-election
this year while he also contem-
platescompetingforstatewideof-
fice.
I havetotemper that with(the
fact that) l love what I do right
now, Freedsaid.
The loomingvacancy inthe au-
ditor generals office the state
governments fiscal watchdog
is drawing interest from third-
term state Rep. Eugene DePas-
quale, a Democrat from York
County. Allegheny County Exec-
utive Dan Onorato, the Demo-
cratic nominee against Corbett in
last years gubernatorial election,
hasnotruledoutseekingthepost.
On the Republican side, Ches-
ter County Treasurer Ann Duke
said she is considering a cam-
paign.
Openings in Pa. row
offices draw interest
In both parties, competition is
fiercest for the post of
attorney general.

Its just all about the racing.
Bednarsky is among a flock of die-
hards who pack the base of Giants De-
spair annually to watch the decom-
missioned race cars, suped-up muscle
cars, weight-stripped rice rockets,
classic European sports cars and any-
thing else local backyard pit crews
dream up to get them up the one-mile
course as fast as they can.
Eight-year-old Joseph Katarsky Jr.
is part of the next generation of Hill-
climb fans, and hes grown up around
race cars. His father, Joseph Katarsky
Sr., of Harding, and his cousin Robert
Katarsky are both veteran hill-clim-
bers.
I like walking up the hill and
watching the cars go by, and watching
my dad, the 8-year-old said, and mo-
ments later his dad did go driving by
in his Formula V racer, returning from
a lap.
He worked every day on the car
with his dad, his mother, Jackie Ka-
tarsky said. Its so family-oriented
here. Its all families and they work to
keep it that way.
Keith Bower of Wilkes-Barre said he
is racing with his family in mind. His
15-year-old son Jeremiah was born
nearly legally blind, but through the
help of the Greater Wilkes-Barre Asso-
ciation of the Blind, he has strength-
ened his vision to the point he may
one day get a Pennsylvania drivers li-
cense.
When Bower bought a 1976 Cald-
well D13 Formula Vracer six years ago
and joined the Pennsylvania Hill
Climb circuit, he decided to put the
blind associations logo on the front of
his car.
When we decided to go back racing
again, we asked them if theyd like us
to get the word out and weve been do-
ing so ever since, Bower said.
And for Anthony Gabriesheski, of
Boston, family is almost an excuse to
watch the hill climb.
I grew up blocks from here and I
competed in the Hillclimb in the early
70s, Gabriesheski said. We come
here to see relatives and friends and
time it to the Hillclimb.
And the races legions of devotees
are growing. Eric George of Hazleton
came to the event to promote Iron
Hawg Custom Cycles and Wild Card
Biker Accessories in Hazleton.
This is my first Hillclimb, and Im
hooked, he said, as another race car
took off from the starting line.
The Giants Despair Hillclimb con-
tinues today on Laurel Run Road.

each of the past three summers
theyve spent at the resort.
Theyve learned a few tricks of
the trade in that time.
First, they soak the spuds in
water overnight to remove the
starch, Jamie Overmiller said.
But weight distribution is most
important, she said. Thats why
Cy stuffed about 13 quarters into
his potatos skin a strategy sev-
eral contestants utilized.
We like the competition. We
really want to win, she said.
Other competitors, including
Marc Cuesta and his son, 8-year-
old Joe, of West Chester, were
equally determined.
Their racer, Spikey Mulch
Guy, didnt fare too well in the
first heat, flipping onto its side
partway down the track.
Weve got some work to do on
your car, Marc Cuesta said as he
and other members of the potato
pit crewhurriedlygrabbedthetu-
ber fromthe endof the track. We
need to give more room for the
wheels. We gotta be more aerody-
namic.
Modified Mush
The Cuestas worked feverishly
on making the modifications be-
fore sending Mush back to the
track for the second heat.
Alas, their spud was a dud, los-
ing a second time, eliminating it
from the contest.
Troy Collinge and his son,
Quinten, 10, of Blandon, fared
much better with their entry,
BakedPotato, whichwas outfit-
ted in aluminum foil and plas-
tered with ketchup and mustard
stickers.
Baked wasnt the prettiest of
entrants, but he sure was fast. He
sped down the track, beating all
other contestants in the non-
modified division to win the con-
test.
His secret?
I think the nose weight
helped, Troy Collinge said,
pointing to quarters stuffed un-
der the potatos skin. You need
to keep the weight in the front to
prevent it fromflipping on its bel-
ly.
The Overmiller family also did
well as Squeaky Potato took
first place in the modified divi-
sion(hewas consideredmodified
because he was a sweet potato, as
opposed to a baking potato).
MustangSally andMissyMes-
sy also made it to the final round
before losing.
The race is the brainchild of
Holiday, the resorts social direc-
tor for the past 12 years.
Sparks creativity
Holiday said hes been running
the popular potato races for the
past nine years and is amazed at
the creativity displayed.
One year we had a remote
control potato with working
lights, he said.
Some of the more creative en-
tries this day included Ghost
Ship, created by 5-year-old Mor-
ganDolaghanandher dad, Brian,
of Nutley N.J. The family used
popsicle sticks andelectrical tape
to transform her potato into an
old-time pirate ship.
Then there was El-Drago, a
fire-breathing dragon created by
JoeySarkees of Thorntonandher
sons, J.W., 5, and Martin, 3.
Its a fun thing to do with the
kids. You get to decorate the po-
tato and be creative, Sarkees
said.
While everyone strives to have
the fastest potato, awards are giv-
en in several other categories, in-
cluding best design, most cre-
ative and ugliest, Holiday said.
The one award the potatoes
dont want to win?
Tastiest, because, well, you
know what that means.

rom the mid-1800s to the
mid-1900s the coal mines consti-
tuted Northeastern Pennsylva-
nias biggest employer. But many peo-
ple today, including genealogists, are
unaware that the railroad was also a
major employer.
So heres a primer for genealogists
on understanding your railroad ances-
try. Climb aboard and lets take a scenic
tour through some vital information.
What railroads operated here? The
major lines were the Lehigh Valley, the
Central of New Jersey (Jersey Central)
the D&H (Delaware and Hudson) and
the DL&W (Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western). Smaller lines appeared
from time to time, and large out-of-area
rail companies could rent track use.
What did the railroads carry? Anthra-
cite coal was carried from Northeast-
ern Pennsylvania to Philadelphia, New
York City and other destinations by rail
beginning even before the Civil War
when railroads began to supplant the
old canal systems. In fact, it was an-
thracite that made the railroads profit-
able. Spur lines sometimes ran from
mines to nearby rail tracks. The famous
Ashley Planes was a system of winches
to help fully loaded trains up the moun-
tain.
What about passenger traffic? From
the mid-19th to the mid-20th century
people made mid-range and long-range
trips primarily by rail. In the 1800s
even a trip from for instance
Wilkes-Barre to Nanticoke and back
would be made by train. Nearly every
local community had its passenger and
freight stations centrally located, often
surrounded by hotels and restaurants
for the convenience of travelers. In
Wilkes-Barre by 1880 the area between
Pennsylvania Avenue and Baltimore
Street (Wilkes-Barre Boulevard) was a
sea of tracks. By the early 20th century,
electric streetcars and the interurban
Laurel Line electric commuter system
handled the shorter local trips.
What jobs were performed on the
railroads? Heres where we really get
into genealogy. At the top of the
heap the equivalent of airline pilots
today were engineers and conduc-
tors. Hard-working young men could
rise to those posts by starting as me-
chanics, brakemen, oilers or other
specialties in local facilities such as the
Ashley Yards or the Coxton Yards.
Of course the rail lines required
ticket agents, baggage men, freight
handlers and yard jockeys to form up
the trains each day, to say nothing of
the people who kept the passenger cars
and stations clean, maintained the
electric signals or removed snow from
the tracks. Railroads also had round-
houses, facilities where engines were
repaired and rehabbed.
Incidentally, the Vulcan Iron Works
in Wilkes-Barre, with hundreds of em-
ployees, manufactured locomotives.
American Car and Foundry (Berwick)
made rail cars.
What were the dangers of railroad-
ing? Genealogists should be aware
that, given the relative numbers of
employees, railroading might have
been even more dangerous than
mining. Every year in Luzerne County
alone 20 or 30 men (at least) would be
killed on the job. The busy rail yards,
where engines and cars were in con-
stant motion, accounted for many of
those fatalities. There were also a few
instances of heavy freight trains losing
their brakes while descending a moun-
tain. Particularly in the 1800s, wrecks
sometimes took the lives of many pas-
sengers.
How can I learn more about the area
railroads where my ancestors worked?
Visit the Luzerne County Historical
Society where you can read the railroad
chapters of Valley Views and the
railroad sections from the Phillips
Collection. Local libraries have books
of area railroad photos. Check out
www.laurellines.org, the website of the
Lackawanna and Luzerne Counties
Chapter of the National Railroad His-
torical Society. Many old railroads have
devotees today who maintain historical
websites. Of course you can visit
Steamtown, the historic site in Scran-
ton.

im Haggerty is a practicing attorney at the Law Office of James J. Haggerty in Kingston. He has also served as the
mayor of Kingston since 1998. Haggerty, 45, is a graduate of Wyoming Valley West High School and the Massachu-
setts Institute of Technology, from where he received a bachelors degree in management science. He attended MIT
on a full United States Army ROTC scholarship, earned his airborne wings, and later studied law at Georgetown Universi-

Tell us a little about your
practice. I am your classic
general practicing solo at-
torney. I handle everything
that a person might need.
Wills, divorces, criminal
troubles, business planning -
things of that sort.
What do you enjoy most
about practicing law? You
can really make a differ-
ence in peoples lives. You
can help them with the
most serious problems and
issues that they will ever
encounter. You have a unique
opportunity to do good things
for good people.
What led you to politics?
In 1997, Kingston was in poor
financial shape. We were reco-
vering from near bankruptcy in
1993 and 1994. Our image was
tarnished. And the community
needed to be reformed. The
question was Who among us
was going to run for office and
take on the responsibility of
fixing what needed to be
fixed? I thought, based on my
education and my experience
and my background, that I had
something to offer to my com-
munity. And I was fortunate
enough to win the election.
Favorite color? Maroon
for Kingston and Valley West.
Music? I like 70s guitar
stuff. But not just BTO and the
Doobie Brothers and that kind
of stuff. I love England Dan &
John Ford Coley. I like acts like
Lobo, Poco and Firefall. Thats
my favorite kind of music. Im
also a big fan of Toby Keith.
And Im a Parrothead. Jimmy
Buffett.
Follow sports? I am a
Boston sports fan. I lived in
Boston for eight years, about a
20 minute walk from Fenway
Park. I used to go to about 30
games a year. Im also a Patri-
ots fan. I had the good fortune
to go to a Super Bowl and see
the Patriots play Carolina,
which was won on a last-sec-
ond field goal. And I had the

hen the story
of Rajesh Nahar, the
oncologist-turned-ac-
tor, appeared in The Times
Leader on June 5, he had never
performed in a local stage pro-
duction.
When Rose Marie Wright first
read Nahars story, her husband,
Robert Anderson, had not fully
cast his play The Cat, the Sun,
and the Mirror.
Wright encouraged her hus-
band to take notice of Nahars
promising credentials. Soon, Na-
har will have another theater
credit on his resume and the
Wyoming Valley will be able to
see him and a host of the
areas best talents act in a
benefit performance of Ander-
sons play.
It will be staged July 16 at Canteen
900 in Forty Fort: the place largely
responsible for allowing Andersons
vision to be realized.
Anderson, 65, spent many years as
a successful playwright in New Bed-
ford, Mass., while allowing his affinity
for eclectic and experimental theater
to flourish. In 1995, he founded Teatro
Gumbo Limbo, a production company
whose members went on to perform
many of his plays and satires. He also
founded a giant puppet troupe in New
Bedford with Vinny Lovegrove called
Miracle Fish Puppet Theater.
Together, Lovegrove and Anderson
created the play Manjiro: An Oddy-
sey.

Society welcomes new members at spring meeting
Using live performers and
shadow puppets, the play told
the story of Manjiro Nakahama,
the first Japanese citizen to live,
work, and study in the United
States.
It was his collaboration with
Lovegrove, and their shared in-
terest in Japanese history, that
would lead to the birth of The
Cat, the Sun, and the Mirror,
which is based on a Japanese
myth that recounts the disap-
pearance of the sun.
Vinny wanted to do a sort of
kiddie play, Anderson recalls,
and my vision encompassed all
ages. We ended up taking our
different versions and parting
ways. This play is based on the
Shinto legend of Amaterasu, the
sun goddess who shuts herself
away until a mirror draws her
back out.
To update the tale, however,
Anderson imbues it with a dose
of American mythology. What
is the great American mythos,
Anderson posits, but the Pri-
vate I[nvestigator] story.
In Andersons play, the Pri-
vate I just happens to be a cat.
The Cat, the Sun, and the
Mirror was performed for the
first time by the New York State
Theatre Institute during their
2005-2006 season on the cam-
pus of Russell Sage College in
Troy, N.Y.
My wife, Rose, and I spent a
lot of time in New York as well
as Massachusetts. We met in
New York City when she was a
ballet dancer with Twyla Tharp.
Rose is originally from West
Wyoming; we moved back here
in April 2010 to be near Roses
mother, and that November she
passed away.
From sorrow, however, arose
unique artistic opportunities for
Anderson.
We first went to the Canteen
900 to meet with the lawyer
handling Roses moms estate,
Anderson explains.
Anderson and Wright came to
realize that the Forty Fort res-
taurant was a gathering place
for area art enthusiasts.
Soon, the couple started a tra-
dition of breakfasting at the big
red-bricked building on Rutter
Avenue every Friday where they
struck up acquaintances with
talented neighbors including
Naomi Hatsfelt Baker, assistant
professor of theater at Wilkes
University.
One day I was talking about
my playwriting background and
Robert Koral, the owner of the
building, suggested we perform
something there.
Anderson seized the opportu-
nity to perform The Cat, the
Sun, and the Mirror again, this
time with Baker directing.
The first time the play was
performed, with NYSTI, it was
almost like an opera because ev-
erything was sung, Anderson
says. He calls the performance
that will take place next Sat-
urday a play with music, with
the music being provided by
Charles Davis of the band The
Ends of the Earth.
Baker, however, chooses to
elaborate a bit on Andersons de-
scription.
All of the dialogue is in
rhyme, which is charming, she
says, Its like a film-noir-hip-hop
Dr. Suess.
Both Baker and Anderson
agree that the show offers some-
thing for audiences of all ages,
which is evident in its diverse
cast and crew culled from the
area.
Nahar will play the spiritual
guru Old Dog.
When Rob first asked me to
do the part, I thought maybe he
only wanted me because I was
in the paper. But playing the
role of a guru is something I
have really connected with, and
I hope I can live up to his vi-
sion, Nahar said.
Nahar will be joined by an
array of talented area youths.
Lacey Willis, a theatre and
communication studies major at
Wilkes, serves as stage manager.
She will also be designing cos-
tumes and props for the first
time.
Our age range is pretty
wide, Baker explains.
We have a few children be-
tween 7 and 12, two teenagers,
some twenty-somethings, Raj
(Nahar), and Robert, who will
be narrating.
The actors experiences, it
seems, are as assorted as their
ages.
Members of the ensemble
have been recruited from the
Wyoming Area Drama Club and
even the office of Andersons
chiropractor.
Matt Hinton, 28, a founding
board member of Gaslight The-
atre Co., Wilkes-Barre, will play
three roles.
Hinton, whose production
credits include A Midsummer
Nights Dream and The Tem-
pest is not afraid to depart
from his traditional roots to per-
form Andersons more experi-
mental work.
Plays are just that oppor-
tunities for actors to play, and
you take every opportunity you
get.
Even though every cast mem-
ber cannot lay claim to Hintons
vast experiences, they seem to
share his enthusiasm.
For some of the kids, this is
their very first performance. But
we have a good mix. The kids
provide an energy that invigor-
ates the adults, and the adults
serve as models for how the
kids should behave during re-
hearsals, Baker says.
While the cast runs through
lines at Wilkes Universitys Hen-
ry Student Center, Bakers
words ring true.
Everyone from the tiniest
girl with ribbons in her hair, to
Hinton offers Baker their
rapt attention as she doles out
notes on their performances.
No matter how whimsical the
play might be, the actors main-
tain a certain degree of serious-
ness as the performance date
draws near.
Baker explains, From audi-
tions to the time we go on
stage, well have had about a
month to put this together.
Most of us did not know each
other going into this project,
which has presented its own
challenges, but were excited to
perform.
Not only will the cast and
crew be sharing their talents
with the community on July 16,
but they will be making a con-
tribution to one of the areas
most respected non-profits: all
ticket sales will benefit the
Wyoming Valley Childrens As-
sociation, which serves pre-
school children with special
needs.
The space at Canteen 900
has very generously been given
to us for free by Abby Singh, the
owner of Canteen 900, Ander-
son says, which means that all
of our proceeds really will go to
the organization.
While both Anderson and
Baker were interested in staging
a benefit performance, it took a
great deal of soul-searching to
decide on an organization to
support.
We thought of a lot of possi-
bilities tsunami relief in Ja-
pan, tornado relief, flood relief.
But we eventually realized that
you dont need to go far away to
help someone: there are people
who need help in your own
backyard, Baker says.
Thankfully though, for those
who consider the Wyoming Val-
ley their backyard, there will al-
ways be many talented artists
willing to pitch in and help their
neighbors.
For some of the kids, this is their very first performance. But we have
a good mix. The kids provide an energy that invigorates the adults, and the adults
serve as models for how the kids should behave during rehearsals.

All-Star week begins all over
baseball this week with several
games being held, including the
Triple-A contest in Salt Lake
City on Wednesday.
In 1995, the Triple-A festiv-
ities took place at PNC Field in
Moosic for the only time in
franchise history. The events at
the ballpark began Monday, July
10, with workouts and contin-
ued with a home run derby the
next day and the All-Star game
on Wednesday, July 12.
Ron Coomer, from Albuquer-
que in the Twins organization,
won the long-ball hitting con-
test, defeating Buffalos Luis
Lopez 8-6 to claim the title.
Buffalo was part of Clevelands
organization at the time.
The next day, the American
League dominated the National
League, 9-0. The NL only man-
aged two hits off AL pitchers.
One of the top performers in
the contest for the AL was Co-
lumbus shortstop Derek Jeter.
The future New York Yankees
star went 2-for-3 with a run
scored.
Toledos Pat Ahearne earned
the pitching win, and Norfolks
Jason Isringhausen took the loss
for the NL.

Editors Note: The Phillies minor

regarded prospects during the last
few years, with many trades being
made to help the parent club.
But that doesnt mean the cup-
board is bare.
Heres a look at how the preseason
top 10 prospects in the Philadelphia
organization are faring and where
they are currently playing:

drosengrant@timesleader.com
Russ Canzler: The Hazleton
Area grad hit two home runs in
his last five games for Durham,
the Triple-A affiliate of the Tam-
pa Bay Rays. The starting third
baseman for the International
League in the Triple-A All-Star
Game is hitting .275 with 10
home runs, 50 RBI, five stolen

matches the International
League stars against the Pacific
Coast League stars, will be held
Wednesday in Salt Lake City
and will be televised on the
MLB Network.
Cory Spangenberg: An Abing-
ton Heights grad and the 10th
overall draft pick by the Padres
last month, he has gotten off to
a stellar start for the Short-
Season Eugene (Ore.) Emeralds
by earning the Northwest
League Player of the Week hon-
ors and might be due for a pro-
motion soon. In his first 22
games, the second baseman is
batting .408 (31-for-76) with one
home run, 19 RBI and nine
stolen bases.

I.L. all-star Canzler
ready to play PCL
By DAVE ROSENGRANT

Brian Gordon has tried many
gloves in his baseball career.
However, last year he made
the switch to the 100 percent
synthetic baseball glove, a mitt
made of several different mate-
rials produced by the Carpen-
ter Trade Glove Company.
It was a decision he is really
glad he made.
I have tried Nike, Mizuno
and Rawlings, said Gordon,
who left the New York Yankees
organization on Friday when
he was signed by SK Wyverns
of the Korean League. I have
nothing against those gloves
and they definitely do a good
job at serving their purpose.
But, I really love the fact that
this glove is personalized and
molded to my hand.
An outfielder and pitcher
during his 11-year pro career,
including five shutout innings
for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on
Tuesday, Gordon first heard
about the glove from former
teammate and current Lehigh
Valley IronPig reliever Michael
Schwimer. The interesting
thing about the Carpenter
Trade Glove Company is that it
never spent a dime on ad-
vertising.
The amazing thing is I have
never paid for advertising. I
rely completely on word of
mouth, Scott Carpenter said.
As more and more players use
the glove, they spread the word
and we have been getting even
better players who want to try
the glove.
We no longer have to push
the product, it is selling itself.
Ten years ago Carpenter had
an idea to create the lightest
baseball glove there is. He did
just that and thanks to a few
professional baseball players
the technology of a completely
synthetic glove is becoming
more and more popular every
day.
About 10 years ago, I had
the idea of creating a glove and
I kind of kept it to myself, the
founder of Carpenter Trade
Company said. I kept it to
myself, because the people I
did tell about it didnt exactly
like the idea.
Despite what others
thought, Carpenter continued
his research and finally devel-
oped an all-synthetic baseball
glove. In 2007, he received his
big break when minor leaguer
Noah Krol decided to use his
glove in his first pro game. Krol
now plays for Altoona, which is
the Double-A team for the
Pittsburgh Pirates.
Noah (Krol) was the first
professional player to use my
glove, Carpenter said. How-
ever, the glove keeps evolving
and getting better and better.
In 2001 he officially started
his private company in the
friendly confines of Cooper-
stown, N.Y. One would be hard
pressed to find a better town to
start a glove company. Carpen-
ter used the baseball communi-
ty to his advantage and was
able to do research at the Base-
ball Hall of Fame.
(Cooperstown) is a great
location to do research and
development, Carpenter said.
I was able to study the history
of gloves and how they were
developed. The Hall of Fame
was a great resource.
Carpenter said, although the
glove is made entirely of syn-
thetic materials it is still just as
durable if not more durable
then a traditional styled glove.
It is also 5 to 10 ounces lighter
than the traditional baseball
glove. Carpenter stresses that a
lighter glove makes for a faster
one.
I am very confident in my
materials, they are extremely
durable, Carpenter said. In
all the years I have been mak-
ing my gloves, I have never
seen one lay flat on a table.
Gordon couldnt agree more
about how durable Carpenters
gloves are.
I like my gloves extra stiff,
Gordon said. Since I have
been using the Carpenter glove
I havent had any problems as
far as durability. In fact, I have
been using this glove for six
months and it is still is as good
as it was the day I got it.
It isnt just the durability of
the Carpenter glove that in-
trigues Gordon. There are
numerous qualities, which
make it different then the tradi-
tional-style baseball glove.
One of my favorite things
about the glove is it is molded
to my hand, Gordon said. It
is the best fitting glove I have
ever used, its just like memory
foam.
The company has adapted a
trade-only policy. This means,
if you wanted a glove from the
Carpenter Trade Company you
would have to find something
worth trading. There are no
specific things they accept, but
Carpenter said he will consider
all types of offers.
The entire process has been
a bit of a shock for Carpenter.
It has been an amazing
journey, Carpenter said. One
day you are under the radar
and the next day more and
more people want my glove. I
did a Google search one day
when I was just sitting at home
and when I saw all of the
things that came up I couldnt
help but to be excited.
The Carpenter Trade Com-
pany is likely to expand in the
next year.
I have numerous opportuni-
ties for expansion, Carpenter
said. I am just waiting for the
right offer. Whether it be part-
nering with a major company
or finding the right individuals
to expand our company.
Carpenter is proud of what
he has accomplished thus far.
He feels his glove is the glove
of the future.
I firmly believe that if you
had a time machine and went
50 years into the future of
baseball, everyone will be
using synthetic gloves, Car-
penter said. I am just proud to
be able to say I developed the
first one.

Brian Gordon, pitching last month for the New York Yankees against the Texas Rangers, says of the Carpenter model, One of my
favorite things about the glove is it is molded to my hand. It is the best fitting glove I have ever used.

N.Y.s Brian Gordon shows his glove before a MLB game last
month. Gordon, who has since played for SWB and then signed
to play in Korea, is giving a new meaning to smack of the leath-
er, thanks to a glove thats totally made of synthetic materials.

RICE TWP. Anthony Grillini
admits he struggled throughout
the high school baseball season
for Coughlin and the American
Legion regular season for Plains.
So his manager for Plains, Don
Stark, decided to shut him down
for two weeks.
During that time, Grillini
worked with Plains pitching
coach Jason Tribbett on mechan-
ics and getting back to the basics
of pitching.
The Coughlin graduate took
the hill to open the Wyoming Val-
ley American Legion League
playoffs Saturday at Mountain
Post andhis troubles lookedtobe
behind him.
The right-hander threw a com-
plete-game, seven-hit shutout to
lead fourth-seeded Plains to a 8-0
victory over top-seeded Greater
Pittston in the double-elimina-
tion tournaments opening game.
Plains will play Back Mountain
today at 1 p.m. with a berth in
next weekends Region 5 Tourna-
ment on the line. The game is a
regional qualifier because the top
two teams from the WVALL ad-
vance to the regional event this
year. Back Mountain defeated
Nanticoke, 11-6, on Saturday to
advance in the winners bracket.
Greater Pittston and Nanticoke
will try to stave off elimination in
a 4 p.m. contest today.
Grillini threw 105 pitches and
seemed to get stronger as the
game progressed. He recorded
his only four strikeouts in the fi-
nal two frames, including getting
the side on punch-outs in the sev-
enth.
Today was the benefit of tak-
ing that time and working with
Anthony, Stark said. His bal-
ance was great. The movement
and the zip was back on his fast-
ball that weve seen of the old An-
thony.
Plains, which lost to Greater
Pittston last year in the cham-
pionship game, entered the game
with payback in mind. The team
showed a little extra motivation
early on, jumpingout toa 2-0lead
before an out was recorded in the
first inning. Plains kept piling up
the runs, getting single runs in
the second, fourth and sixth and
two in the third. Grillini (2-for-4)
and Josh Savakinus (3-for-3) led
the offense with two run-scoring
hits apiece. Bob Sorokas was also
a multiple hitter for the winners,
going 2-for-3 with an RBI and
scored two runs.
We want it bad this year, after
last year no doubt, Grillini said
about the revenge factor. We
have a lot of fire in our hearts.
Back Mountains victory was
similar to Plains in that its start-
ing pitcher, Marc Noyalis, tossed
a complete game and the offense
broke out.
The main difference between
the two wins on Saturday was
that Back Mountain had to come
from behind to stay in the win-
ners bracket. A sloppy sixth in-
ning defensively for Back Moun-
tain where it made three errors
led to three Nanticoke runs and a
6-3 deficit.
But Back Mountain came right
back in the bottom of the stanza,
piling up eight runs and sending
12 batters to the plate to take an
11-6 lead.
Josh Everett (3-for-4), who has
had his ups and downs this sea-
son and was moved to the No. 8
spot in the lineup, picked up an
RBI-triple and a two-run double
in the sixth.
We were kind of sloppy in the
field and had to get refocused,
Everett said. It felt good to get
off the schneid, especially with
the triple , to get us back in the
game. We just kind of went out
there and did our thing. Its what
weve been doing all season.
Were a good come-from-behind
team.
Noyalis, who was also 2-for-4,
struck out nine in his effort, al-
lowing four earned runs and nine
hits. Ted Ritsick, Zack Yursha
and Pat Condo had two hits
apiece in the win.

Thefinal dayof competitionre-
sumes today fromapproximately
8:30a.m.-4p.m. Eachof the 71en-
tries will have five tries to unseat
Dankos top time.
The rain helped a lot yester-
day and washed a lot of the oil off
the road, said Danko. If (the
weather) stays like this again and
it grips well, a lot of drivers will
improve.
Danko was forced to drive the
Gurney Eagle after his first two
cars were sidelined because of
mechanical failures.
He planned to run a 1989 Lola
Indy that he drove in for his past
Giants Despair titles. Mechanical
errors forced to sideline it after
the first run of the day. On the
second heat, his Jedi car broke an
axle at the starting line in its Hill-
climb debut.
The Indy was running real
hot, and we lost oil pressure
about three quarters into that
run, said Danko. Instead of get-
tingmotor damage, Idrather just
park it for the day.
Then I figured wed run our
new car which is capable of mid-
to-low 40s.
Danko plans on running the
Gurney Eagle today.
Despite the roads being newly
paved last week, times were low-
er than last years. Danko said
that the crown the slope of the
center of the road intended for
water runoff is higher than usu-
al and forced many drivers to be
more cautious on the courses
five turns.
The crown has to settle in a
bit, said Danko. When they
paved it, they put a little crown in
the road. It kind of lifts you in
these bigger cars.

SPARTA, Ky. Kyle Busch
won the inaugural Sprint Cup
race at Kentucky Speedway on
Saturday night, pulling away
from Jimmie Johnson on a res-
tart with three laps to go to col-
lect his 99th NASCARseries vic-
tory.
Busch won the Trucks race
here on Thursday night and had
little trouble finding his way to
Victory Lane for the secondtime
in three days at the1.5-mile oval.
He started from the pole and
dominated long stretches of the
400-mile race to pick up his third
Cup win of the season.
David Reutimman slipped
past Johnson to finish second.
Ryan Newman was fourth, fol-
lowedby Carl Edwards andMatt
Kenseth.
The first visit by NASCARs
top series provided few fire-
works onthe track, but plentyoff
it as traffic issues plagued the
race.
JAMMED UP: Speedway Mo-
tor Bruton Smith was kidding
when he said he expected most
fans to return home from the
tracks inaugural NASCAR
Sprint Cup race on Saturday
night by Tuesday.
Considering how difficult it
was for people to get into the
track, Tuesday may have been a
bit generous.
The 1.5-mile ovals long-await-
ed Cup debut was marred by a
massivetraffic snarl that left fans
stuck out on Interstate 71 for
miles even as the green flag
dropped. Cars were still slowly
streaming into the parking gates
more than 125 miles into the
400-mile event as nearby inter-
state turned into a massive park-
ing lot.
Even those that made it to
their seats well before the race
were less than thrilled.
BYE-BYEORP: NASCARs de-
cision to move the Nationwide
race from historic but antiquat-
ed Lucas Oil Raceway to Indi-
anapolis Motor Speedwaybegin-
ning in 2012 met with mixed re-
views from the Cup drivers who
regularly run both races when
the series visits the Hoosier
state in late July.
The .686-mile oval long
knownas OReilly Raceway Park
or ORP is one of the most en-
tertaining short tracks on the
Nationwide schedule. Yet the
lure of moving the race to a mar-
quee venue such as the Brick-
yard proved to be too much for
NASCAR. Kyle Busch under-
stands why the race is getting
moved. Hes just not quite sure
whether hes on board.
I think its good and I think
its bad, Busch said. Theres
certainly two sides to every sto-
ry, I guess, andsometimes more.
Theres a lot of people that only
go to the short track and
wouldnt really care to go the big
track and now that the race is at
the big track you might lose
some of those fans, but you
might gain more fans because
they like the big track, so who
knows.
GORDON THE MENTOR?
Jeff Gordon is considered the
driver who discovered five-time
defending Cup champion Jim-
mie Johnson. Hes still keeping
his eye out for another protege
as the four-time champ nears his
40th birthday.
I think that our sport, it
thrives on new, young talent and
I dont know if weve seen
enough of it in recent years,
Gordon said. If I recognize
somebody then I certainly
would try to help them out and
maybe one day I will have more
timetobeinvolvedinthat sideof
the business.
Just not yet. Gordon entered
the weekend eighth in the stand-
ings with two victories this year.
Despite some wear and tear that
comes fromspending more than
two decades racing, hes not
quite ready to ponder retire-
ment.

PHILADELPHIA Alex
Gonzalez hit the go-ahead RBI
single and Brian McCann add-
ed a two-run homer in the 11th
inning to lift the Atlanta Braves
to a 4-1 victory over the Phila-
delphia Phillies on Saturday.
It was the second straight
extra-inning game for the
teams, following Philadelphias
3-2 victory in 10 innings Friday.
The Braves (54-37) have won
10 of 12, and closed the Phil-
lies lead in the NL East to 2

Costawavedhishandsindelight
and punched the air as he crossed
the line in 4 hours, 36 minutes, 46
seconds to clinch the first Tour
stage winof his career.
I knewI could get in the break-
awaytoday. Theteamputmeinthe
best position, Costa said. I was
luckythat I managedtoholdonun-
til theend. Imveryhappywiththis
win.
Iattackedonmyownattheend.
I saw that my legs were good and
that I could hold it alone. When it
got to two kilometers (1.2 miles)
fromthe end, I really worked hard
and managed to reach my objec-
tive.
Costa paidtribute toSpanishcy-
clist Xavier Tondo, who died in
Mayinafreakaccidentafterhewas
crushed between his car and a ga-
rage door.
I want todedicatethiswintoall
the people whobelievedinme and
supported me, Costa said. To my
family, my teammates, to Xavier
Tondo.
The race entered the mountains
forthefirsttimeinthe117-miletrek
from Aigurande to Super-Besse,
featuring a sharp category-2 climb
upCol dela Croixanda final climb
of 1mile.
Gilbert of Belgium made up a
huge amount of time before cross-
ing 12 seconds adrift, with Austra-
liancyclistCadel Evansfinishing15
seconds behind Costa in third
place.
I needed a few more hundred
meters, Gilbert said. The stage
was veryfast, therewas afavorable
wind. Thelastclimbwasveryhard;
I hadtosit backdownnear theend
of the line.
The last 200 meters were very
long, but Ill take a secondplace on
the Tour de France any day.
Hushovd is still one second
aheadof Evans andhas beenwear-
ing the yellowjersey since his Gar-
min-Cervelo team won last Sun-
days time trial. Hushovd, not a re-
nowned climber, was certain he
was going to lose the yellowjersey
before the stage.
Maybe I was a bit pessimistic,
hesaid. I didnt thinkI coulddoit.
Another day in yellow, its a mira-
cle.
Alexandre Vinokourov closed to
within 15 seconds of Costa in the
last mile, but the Kazakh rider ran
out of steam as he had no team-
mates to help himwhen riding for

Gilbert was fresher after sitting

DECATUR, Ga. Pittsburgh
Steelers star wide receiver
Hines Ward was arrested early
Saturday in Georgia on a drunk-
en driving charge, sheriffs offi-
cials said.
The former Super Bowl MVP
and reigning Dancing With the
Stars champ was booked into
the DeKalb County jail just out-
side Atlanta at 3:41 a.m. and
charged with driving under the
influence. A jail official said he
was released on $1,300 bond,
though the sheriffs office web-
site said his bond was set at
$1,000. The discrepancy
couldnt be immediately resolv-
ed Saturday.
The sheriffs office said it had
turned over paperwork to the
courts and couldnt release any
further infor-
mation about
the players ar-
rest.
A Steelers
spokesman
did not imme-
diately re-
spond to a
message, andit was not immedi-
ately clear if Ward had an attor-
ney.
Since being drafted in the
third round out of Georgia in
1998, Ward, 35, has been a four-
time Pro Bowl selection and
won two Super Bowls.
Dancing with professional
partner Kym Johnson, Ward in
May became the second profes-
sional football player to win the
Dancing crown after Emmitt
Smith won in 2006.

The Yankee offense exploded
for five runs in the bottom of the
third inning. Addison Maruszak
started the rally with a single to
left field. Doug Bernier then sin-
gled in Maruszak, cutting the
Red Wings lead to just 2-1.
Later in the inning Jorge Vaz-
quez roped a two-RBI double to
the right-centerf ield gap giving
the Yankees a 3-2 lead. However,
they werent done there.
Brandon Laird widened the
gap with a two-run homer way
over the advertising boards in
left field. The Yankees lead was
5-2 after three.
The Yankees lead was 5-2 in
the top of the fifth of the second
game of the doubleheader at
press time.
The Yankees wasted no time
getting after Rochester starting
pitcher Eric Hacker in the first
game of the twin bill. The first
four Yankee hitters reached base
safely. Chris Dickerson drew a
leadoff walk, Greg Golson then
singled up the middle and Terry
Tiffee roped a single to right
field, allowing Dickerson to
score from second.
Jorge Vazquez then drew a
walk, which loaded the bases for
Brandon Laird with nobody out
in the inning. Laird did the job as
he hit a sacrifice fly to right field,
giving the Yankees a 2-0 lead in
the bottom of the third inning.
However, the Yankees werent
done yet.
Jordan Parraz continued the
Yankees first inning rally with an
RBI single right back up the mid-
dle. However, Hacker retired the
next two Yankees to end the first
inning, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
led 3-0.
The Yankee offense showed no
signs of coolingas they ralliedfor
three runs in the bottom of the
second. Tiffee started the scor-
ing with a two-out RBI single to
center field. Vazquez was then
hit by one of Hackers pitches,
giving the Yankees runners on
both first and second base. Laird
and Parraz then cashed in Vaz-
quez and Tiffee with consecutive
RBI singles to center field. The
Yankees lead was 6-0 after two.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre ex-
tended its lead to 9-0 in the bot-
tom of the fourth. Laird picked
up his thirdRBI onthe day witha
double to center field. Jordan
Parraz then reached on a fielders
choice toloadthe bases. P.J. Pilit-
tere and Nunez then roped con-
secutive RBI singles to roundout
the three-run fourth inning.
Neither team scored in the re-
mainder of the game andthe Yan-
kees emerged with a 9-0 victory
in game one. Every player in the
Yankee line up reached base in
the game and eight of the nine
had hits.
The Yankees improved to 47-
40after a victory inthe first game
of the twin bill. The Red Wings
fell to 34-54.
Mitchell was credited with the
winwhile striking out five andal-
lowing just four hits. He im-
proved to 6-7 on the season and
now has an ERA of 3.20.
Eric Hacker suffered the loss
for Rochester. He lasted just 3
1/3 innings and allowed nine
runs while scattering 10 hits.
The Yankees and Red Wings
wrap up their series today. First
pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m.
Right-hander Lance Pendleton
(2-2, 2.55) gets the nod for the
Yankees, while Kevin Slowey

INVERNESS, ScotlandThe
Scottish Open was reduced to a
three-round event after torren-
tial rain overnight and through-
out Saturday flooded the Castle
Stuart links course at Inverness,
wiping out the entire third days
play.
Organizers worked to restore
Castle Stuart to a playable condi-
tion following heavy downpours
in the Highlands and the unfin-
ished second-round groupings
which amounted to half the
field took their positions out
on the course late Saturday.
As players were about to res-
tart their rounds more than 24
hours after their last shot, offi-
cials decided conditions were
still too poor to resume.
We tried very hard, we were
desperate to get out and play ...
but unfortunately, despite all the
efforts of all the guys on the golf
course, we just couldnt get the
course playable, tournament di-
rector Mike Stewart said.
With no shot being hit on day
three, the leaderboard was un-
changed, leaving 2010 U.S. Open
champion Graeme McDowell in
a three-wayshare of the leadat11
under with Scottish pair Peter
Whiteford and Scott Jamieson.
All three players finished their
second rounds in dry, still condi-
tions early on Friday.
Ive been up in this area for a
long time nowand we have cour-
tesy-car drivers who are 65 years
of age and havent seen the likes
of this before. None of us have,
former Europe Ryder Cup cap-
tain Colin Montgomerie, one of
70 players still to wrap up their
second round, said of the condi-
tions.
This is extreme to say the
least. Its freak conditions.
Players will be back out early
today to complete their second
rounds, with the third and final
round to follow, although more
rain is expected in the High-
lands.
Rain turns Scottish Open into a 54-hole tournament
More bad weather in forecast

COLORADOSPRINGS, Colo.
For months now, the battered
country of Japan has been look-
ing for a lift.
By using her blossoming golf
game as a tool for charity, 21-year-
old Mika Miyazato could turn the
U.S. Womens Open into the
feel-good story her country seeks
and back it with some cold,
hard cash.
Miyazato shot 67 to grab the
lead at 5-under-par 137 at the
halfway point at the Broadmoor
on Saturday, where rain once
again stopped play early and
brought up the prospect of a
grueling, 36-hole schedule today.
She had a one-shot lead over Ai
Miyazato who is not related
but is fromthe same city, Okina-
wa. When the Miyazatos return
to the course, they will play in the
final group together, each wear-
ing red and white pins they cre-
ated to raise awareness for the
thousands of victims in a country
ravaged by an earthquake, tsuna-
mi and the resulting nuclear
catastrophe.
The pins have Japanese charac-
ters that translate to Never Give
Up Japan.
For Mika, it goes beyond mere
symbols, though. She is donating
all her winnings fromthe 2011
majors to the Red Cross for the
recovery cause in her home coun-
try. That has already totaled
more than $100,000 thanks to
top-10 finishes at the first two
majors. First place at the U.S.
Open is worth around $600,000.
Winning majors is what I
strive for, she said. And to
donate all of my earnings from
the majors, I hope to give positive
things to the people who are
around the disaster area.
What a way to make a name for
herself even though Mika has
spent most of her young career
being confused with Ai Miyazato.
Ai has six LPGATour victories to
none for Mika and she has spent
a longer time on the radar as the
best hope to become the next golf
superstar in a country that loves
the game.
Not that Mika has complained
much when people get them
mixed up.
Everybody thinks were sis-
ters, she said. That way, every-
body can remember me, because
Ai is playing great.
For the final 36 holes, the
Miyazatos will also be grouped
with South Koreas I.K. Kim, who
returned early Saturday with the
lead, played the last four holes of
her second round, then finished
the day two shots behind in
third place at 3 under.
In an attempt to bring a Sun-
day conclusion to a tournament
that has fallen behind after three
straight afternoons of rain, the
USGAwill send threesomes off
fromthe1and10 tees today and
will not re-pair the groups after
the third round. It brings up the
prospect, however slight, of
having a victory celebration on
the ninth green.
JohnDeere Classic
SILVIS, Ill. Steve Stricker
stood in the bunker left of the
first fairway, eyed his ball in the
rough on the edge of the trap,
then looked at the flag122 yards
away.
If it felt like hed been in that
position before, well, thats be-
cause he had.
I had that same stance in my
pro-am, he said. Same bunker,
same exact shot. I was right in
the same spot.
All he wanted to do was get the
ball on the green, which he did.
And then came the shot of the
day, a 75-foot putt for birdie that
led to an 8-under-par 63 Saturday
and a two-stroke lead after three
rounds of the John Deere Classic.
I was just trying to get a two-
putt and par and move on,
Stricker said. To make a put like
that, you dont expect to, nor are
the odds in your favor to make a
putt like that. But it went in with
perfect speed and it got me go-
ing.
Stricker fashioned his best
round of the year while closing in
on his third straight victory in the
tournament. Hes at 20-under 193
following a par on save on18,
where he twice hit into bunkers
before drilling a15-foot putt.
That put Stricker in a good
spot because hes won the last
four times he held the outright
lead going into the final round.
Stricker said he often hears stats
like that, but insisted he doesnt
remember them.
I dont put a lot of stock in
numbers past, present, whatev-
er, he said. I just try to go out
there and do the things that Im
capable of doing. Youve just got
to stick to your own game and
thats what Ive been able to do
the last four or five years.
Zimbabwean Brendon de
Jonge is alone in second at 195
after matching Strickers 63.

round of the Womens U.S. Open golf tournament Saturday, in Colorado Springs, Colo.
of the season to counter his critics
and doubters, to prove that he still
was, indeed, DerekJeter. Howelse
to explain it? His first home run in
the Bronx this year, for No. 3,000.
You want to hit the ball hard,
he said. I didnt want to hit a slow
roller to third base and have it be
replayed forever.
Its a number thats meant a lot
inbaseball, hesaid. Tobetheon-
ly Yankee to do anything is spe-
cial.
Oh, andfor goodmeasure: Jeter
stole a base, too. For any hitter, a
perfect game. Something out of
The Natural, really.
I dont think you can script it
any better, Yankees manager Joe
Girardi said. This is already mo-
vie-ready.
Added the Rays Johnny Da-
mon, a former teammate: Hope-
fullyhecanact verywell andhope-
fullyhecanplayhimself inhis own
movie, thats the type of day this
was.
In fact, HBO will soon show a
documentary about Jeters pur-
suit.
Nobody better in the clutch,
Yankees star Jorge Posada chimed
in. He looks forward to that mo-
ment, and today was a perfect ex-
ample.
With a swift swing of his shiny
black bat, Jeter jolted himself into
historic company, hitting a solo
home run off All-Star ace David
Price in the third inning. He be-
came the 28thmajor leaguer tohit
the mark and joined former team-
mate Wade Boggs as the onlyplay-
ers to do it with a home run.
Jeter watched the ball fly as he
left the batters box and gave a big
clap as he rounded first base. Rays
first baseman Casey Kotchman
was thefirst tosaluteJeter, doffing
his cap as Jeter passed by.
Hittingahomerunwas thelast
thing I was thinking about, Jeter
said. I was pretty relieved.
Bythen, all of Jeters teammates
were already celebratinginthe du-
gout, raising their arms almost in
unison. Aspecial time for No. 2
his second hit of the game, and
right at 2 p.m.
He looked every bit like a spry
27-year-old with those bright
greeneyes andanevenbrighter fu-
ture, rather than a 37-year-old
shortstop with his best days be-
hind him.
Jeter finishedthedaywith3,003
hits.
The only thing left, it seemed,
was a triple Jeter has never hit
for the cycle. Instead, he singledin
the sixth, and bounced a tiebreak-
ing single through a drawn-in in-
field.
I wasexpectingthetriple,Yan-
kees closer Mariano Rivera kid-
ded. Thats the way it is.
Theprizeball, oneof thespecial-
ly marked ones put in play for the
occasion once Jeter got to 2,999
hits, disappeared into a cluster of
fans a few rows beyond the wall.
ChristianLopezof HighlandMills,
N.Y., sitting in Section 236,
emerged with the valuable me-
mento after it bounced off his fa-
thers hand.
The 23-year-old former football
player fromSt. LawrenceUniversi-
tygladlygavetheball backtoJeter,
saying it never occurred to himto
keepit. TheYankeesrewardedhim
withfour tickets to every game for
therest of theyear, andmemorabi-
lia autographed by Jeter three
bats, three balls and two jerseys.
Mr. Jeter deserved it, Lopez
said. Its all his.
Jeter 3K merchandise, mean-
while, began flying off the shelves
at the souvenir stands. Hats, pins,
shirts and more, all commemorat-
ing No. 3,000, hadnt gone on sale
until it occurred.
True to his nature of staying fo-
cused on the game, Jeter briskly
rounded the bases. When Boggs
got his 3,000th, he knelt downand
kissed home plate.
Not Jeters style. But there was
no way this moment would pass
without plenty of fanfare.
Posada, his goodbuddy, greeted
Jeterwithabearhugafterhecross-
ed the plate. Rivera and the rest of
the Yankees were right behind,
swallowing up Jeter before he
could reach the dugout. The bull-
pen gate swung open, too, as New
Yorks relievers came pouring in.
Jeter, still in the midst of a most
difficult season, waved to the
crowd several times, then pointed
up to the box where his dad and
steady girlfriend, actress Minka
Kelly, were sitting. His dad was in
attendance his mom and sister
were absent, attending a christen-
ing.
It was tremendous, Jeters fa-
ther, Charles, told the YES Net-
work. I cant describe how I was
feeling. We need a victory, first of
all. ... Very emotional for me, very
happy for him.
All the Yankees greats left their
distinct marks. Babe Ruth set the
home run record, Lou Gehrig be-
came the Iron Horse, Joe DiMag-
gio hit in 56 straight games, Yogi
Berra won the most champion-
ships, Mickey Mantle launched
the longest drives. They all won
World Series rings, certainly, with
Jeter owning five.
The 3,000 hits, that will be Je-
ters legacy forever.
I want togivehimabighug. Its
an absolute wonderful accom-
plishment, Berra said in a state-
ment.
Whenever Jeter retires, aplaque
in Monument Park is guaranteed
to follow. Someday, hell surely
haveamonument, too. Becauseon
the list of monumental baseball
achievements, this ranks up there.
Along with 28 players with
3,000hits, thereare25membersof
the 500-homer club and 23 pitch-
ers in the 300-win circle. And the
Yankees: Theyve got 27 World Se-
ries championships.
Jeter desperately wanted to
achieve the markat home, andthe
Yankeesonlyhadtwogamesleft in
the Bronx before the All-Star
break, withaneight-gameroadtrip
looming to start the second half.

NEWPORT, R.I. Andre
Agassi used his induction
speech at the International
Tennis Hall of Fame to thank
the sport for all it has given
him including his wife, fel-
low Hall of Famer Steffi Graf.
Agassi acknowledged there
were times he resented the
sport, which his father pushed
him into as a small child. But
the 40-year-old, eight-time
Grand Slam champion said
Saturday it was all part of the
journey that brought him to
the Newport shrine. Agassi
was No. 1 in the world for 101
straight weeks before drop-
ping to No. 141. Only then did
he really appreciate the sport.
Also inducted was Fern
Peachy Kellmeyer, who
fought for womens athletic
scholarships while in college
and was one of the trailblazers
in womens professional ten-
nis.

MINNEAPOLIS The feder-
al magistrate judge who is
mediating the labor dispute be-
tween NFL owners and players
has scheduled another session
for July 19 in Minneapolis.
Judge Arthur J. Boylan set the
meeting on Saturday, just before
starting his vacation. But he also
made clear that bothsides should
continue their own sessions in
the interimas they worktowarda
new collective bargaining agree-
ment.
The principals in the fight over
how to split up over $9 billion in
revenue met all week in New
York, but still have not reached a
new deal as the lockout has
dragged on for more than four
months.
The urgency, it appears, is
startingtoheat up. Several teams
have already canceled their tradi-
tional out-of-town portions of
training camp and the Hall of
Fame game betweenChicagoand
St. Louis is less than a month
away.
Boylan ordered both sides to
continue mediation without him
in an effort to define and narrow
the differences between their re-
spective settlement positions.
He also ordered attorneys from
both sides to be ready to meet
with him on the evening of July
18 for an in-person agenda- set-
ting session that presumably
would set the stage for meaning-
ful, fruitful talks the following
day.
After putting in two days in
New York this week, NFL Com-
missioner Roger Goodell and
NFL Players Association chief
DeMaurice Smith announced
that they were taking the week-
end off. They plan to resume ne-
gotiations on Monday in what
will be the first mediation ses-
sions with owners and players
present that does not include
Boylan.
If the league and players have
not reached a deal by the time
they are scheduled to meet with
Boylan in Minneapolis, it could
be bad news for training camps
and perhaps even preseason
games. The Giants, Jets and Rav-
ens have already announcedthat,
no matter when an agreement is
reached, they will conduct all of
their preseason work at their pri-
mary facilities rather than leave
for various college campuses, a
time-honored tradition that
coaches embrace as a team-build-
ing exercise and small towns
across the country depend upon
for tourism revenue.
The Vikings have already said
that if an agreement is not reac-
hed by July 18, they will have to
cancel training camp at Minneso-
ta State University in Mankato,
where they have held two-a-days
every summer since 1966.
And the Rams and Bears are
scheduled to kick off the presea-
son with a game in Canton, Ohio
on Aug. 7, just two and a half
weeks after Boylans scheduled
meeting on the 19th.

J
ay Delaney doesnt hide the fact
that pheasant hunting and restora-
tion is high on his list of priorities
as a commissioner on the Pennsylvania
Game Commission board.
Delaney lives and breathes pheas-
ants. Its his passion.
But right now its not Delaneys pri-
ority.
A different topic has switched Dela-
neys focus.
Its called Chronic Wasting Disease,
and at last glance it was less than 10
miles from Pennsylvanias border, in-
fecting deer to our south in Maryland.
The disease affects the cervid family
deer, elk and moose by killing brain
cells.
Ultimately, CWD kills any deer, elk
or moose it infects. There is no way to
test live animals for the disease and,
unfortunately, there is no vaccine.
Right now, there are only preventa-
tive measures and the PGC is making
sure it has them in place in case CWD
appears in Pennsylvania.
During last months PGC meeting,
the board granted preliminary approval
on a revised set of emergency powers
that the agencys executive director can
utilize if CWD appears in Pennsylva-
nias deer or elk.
Those measures include allowing the
taking of cervids without regard to
established seasons and bag limits and
methods of take; requiring mandatory
checking of hunter-killed cervids; pro-
hibiting the removal of high-risk cervid
parts; prohibiting the rehabilitation of
cervids; prohibiting the use, collection,
possession and exportation of cervid
urine-based attractants; prohibiting the
feeding of cervids; and prohibiting any
new permits to possess or transport
live cervids.
The first measure on the list basical-
ly means eradicating deer in an area
where CWD is present. Thats an
alarming step and theres differing
opinions on if that step was successful
in the other states where it was tried.
But the fact that it could even be
considered speaks volumes on the
seriousness of CWD.
This disease has the potential to
impact hunting in Pennsylvania like
weve never seen before, Delaney said.
Deer are our most hunted resource
and we have to do everything in our
power to preserve that resource.
The list of states and Canadian prov-
inces where the disease is present has
been growing. So far 19 states and two
Canadian provinces have detected
CWD in its deer, elk or moose.
Some people, including Delaney, say
its only a matter of time before Penn-
sylvania is added to the list.
And once CWD gets here, it wont
disappear anytime soon.
The prions that cause CWD can exist
in the environment for many years,
infecting any deer that comes into
contact with them. They enter the
environment via blood, urine, saliva
and tissue of infected deer. The prions
then live in the soil, waiting to infect
the next deer that passes by.
While the PGC board gave its exec-
utive director the ability to take a pro-
active approach with CWD, there are
things we can do as well.
Those hunting in states where CWD
is present are prohibited from bringing
back certain parts of deer elk or moose
such as brain and central nervous
system tissue.
The importation ban is something
we should all take seriously and adhere
to.
When CWD appears in Pennsylvania
as many expect it to, will it mean the
end of deer hunting as we know it in
those areas?
Maybe.
But right now the only comforting
thing about CWD is the PGC is ready
to act to minimize the impact and
protect our deer herd against a deadly
disease that can only be slowed, not
stopped.

The U.S. Army Corps Engineers
Philadelphia
District has announced it will hold
whitewater releases Aug. 28 and 29
from the Francis E. Walter Dam.
The Corps updated the recreation
plan, which states whitewater events
scheduled for the final weekend in
August and in September will be
held if adequate water storage is
accumulated in the reservoir. A rainy
season has enabled the Corps to
schedule the two water releases in
August.
The whitewater releases will be ap-
proximately 650 cubic feet per sec-
ond of water. They would bring the
total number of whitewater events to
21 for 2011.
The Corps will continue to utilize
storage for weekday and weekend
fisheries enhancement water releas-
es of 100 cubic feet per second
through Aug. 5 and 50 cubic feet
per second through Sept 11.

based on the spring breeding
population over the last three
years. Basically, its about one
percent of that population.
PGC Northeast Region Biolo-
gist KevinWenner saidthere are
areas where the resident goose
population has decreased
through control measures such
as depredation programs and
permitted actions to eliminate
nests.
Still, plenty of areas remain
where the resident geese flour-
ish.
Were basically creating the
habitat for resident geese by
NORTHMORELAND TWP.,
WYOMINGCOUNTY Theres
a good reason why the Pennsyl-
vania Game Commission con-
ducts its annual goose banding
at the end of June.
Its the only time of year when
the geese cant fly.
Adult geese drop all of their
flight feathers at oncewhenthey
molt, andthey cant fly for about
a month, said
PGC biologist
Ian Gregg. It
happens pret-
ty consistent-
lyat theendof
June.
Thats
when agency
personnel em-
barkedonsev-
eral area lakes
and ponds to
trap and band
resident Can-
ada geese
throughout
the state. Last year the agency
captured and banded 2,970 Can-
ada geese, while this years quo-
ta was 2,557.
The bands, which are at-
tachedto the leg, containan800
number and a website that hun-
ters whoharvest a bandedgoose
can call to report the band num-
ber and location. The informa-
tion is collected by the U.S. Ge-
ological Survey Bird Banding
Program, and is used to gauge
harvest rates, monitor popula-
tion trends and set seasons and
bag limits for resident Canada
geese.
A resident Canada goose is
one that breeds in Pennsylva-
nia, said PGC wildlife biologist
Drew Zellner. Resident geese
canbea problemfor landowners
and in some areas they are be-
coming more prevalent. When
the geese would migrate in and
out, its not as big a problem for
landowners. They just dont
want themall year-round.
Capturing flocks of resident
geese is a relatively easy process
becausethebirdscant flyduring
late June. Once on land, PGC
personnel and volunteers corral
the birds with fence panels.
Once inside, volunteers climb in
and hand the geese out to biol-
ogists, who determine the sex,
record data and apply a leg band
before releasing them.
It takes just several minutes to
band each goose, and its not un-
commonto recapture geese that
were already banded years ago.
Were looking for 300 to 350
geese to band in the region,
Zellner said. The quotas are
mowing grass around bodies of
water, Wenner said. Geese like
to be able to see all around them
and they like to graze on grass,
so thats the perfect habitat for
resident geese.
Gregg said the resident goose
population in Pennsylvania be-
gan to increase in the 1990s and
is relatively stable today
throughout the state. Resident
geese breed at a younger age
than the subspecies of Canada
goose that migrates, Gregg said,
and longer hunting seasons
along with higher bag limits
have helped to keep numbers
stable.
Wed still like to see the num-
bers come down some, Gregg
said. Our spring population is
250,000 to 300,000 statewide,
and150,000 is the goal.
Geese tell a story
Harvest rates, population
trends and bag limits gauged
from the banding of geese.

O N L I N E
Three Canada goose subspecies
occur in Pennsylvania.
Two are migrants that breed in
Canada; the third breeds here.
The migrants comprise geese
from
the Southern James Bay pop-
ulation (Branta canadensis
interior),
which fly over westernmost
Pennsylvania, and the Atlantic
population (Branta canadensis
canadensis), which migrate over
eastern Pennsylvania.
Our resident geese are giant
Canada geese (Branta cana-
densis maxima). Resident geese
nest and winter here and the
growth of this
population has been phenom-
enal. Before 1935, no Canada
geese nested anywhere in Penn-
sylvania. But today they can be
found nesting in every county.

LEVERKUSEN, Germany
France edged England 4-3 on pe-
nalties intheWomens WorldCup
quarterfinals when England cap-
tain Faye White missed the deci-
sive kick on Saturday.
Whites effort after Eugenie
Le Sommer tied the scores for
France hit the crossbar to send
France through to a semifinal
against Brazil ortheUnitedStates
on Wednesday. The game ended
1-1after extra time.
Its verybeautiful. Lifeis great.
We worked so hard for this, said
anemotional France coachBruno
Bini. Theres a certain magic to
football.
EliseBussagliaequalizedinthe
88th minute following Jill Scotts
59th-minute goal for England be-
fore 26,395 fans at Bay Arena.
Unfortunately, again, England
get knocked out on penalties.
Howboringisthat?saidEngland
coach Hope Powell.
Camille Abily, who took the
first spot kick for France, had her
effort saved by Karen Bardsley.
But Bussaglia, Gaetane Thiney
and Sonia Bompastor all scored.
Le Sommer put all the pressure
on White after Englands Claire
Raffertydrewher shot widetothe
right.
Improud (Faye) had the guts
and the nerve to try and get En-
gland to a semifinal. Shes gutted,
but thats football, Powell said.
It could have happened to any-
body. Unfortunately, the game
has to end some way.
Kelly Smith, Karen Carney and
Casey Stoney converted En-
glands penalties.
In a game dominated by
France, Scott fired England into
the lead against the run of play af-
ter Smith and Rachel Yankey
combined to set her free.
Scott cut inside to beat two de-
fenders, looked up to see Celine
Deville off her line and unleashed
a dipping shot that gave the goal-
keeper playing in place of the
suspended Berangere Sapowicz
no chance.
Bussaglia equalized when she
curled a shot fromthe edge of the
penalty area in off the left post.
England shouldnt have been
surprised. Its three most recent
matches with France since 2006
have all been draws.
After 30 more minutes of extra
time and a fateful penalty shoo-
tout, Englandsbidforhistorywas
gone. Englandwastryingtomake
its first semifinals, while attempt-
ing to overcome a poor record
against France, which it hasnt
beaten in almost 37 years.
I thought we had a chance
with penalties because weve
been practicing themand Karens
been saving all of them, Powell
said.
You have to give credit to
France. Theypressedandpressed
and got the equalizer.
England attacked right from
the kickoff when Smith rounded
Devilleonlyfor her goalwardshot
to be cut out by Laura Georges.
France recovered from its sha-
ky start with Louisa Necib dis-
playing wonderful control in the
middle of the field, before Abilys
effort landed on the roof of the
net.
With fans doing the wave
around the stands, Smith earned
a corner that caused more con-
cern in the French defense. How-
ever, it was but a rare push for-
ward for England.
Thineys fancy footwork left
two defenders standing, before
Marie-Laure Delie had a shot
blockedontheedgeof thepenalty
area. Thineys effort was then
blocked froma similar position.
England was rushed into con-
cedingpossessionwithFranceap-
plyingpressureinall areas, andre-
sorted to sending long balls for-
ward for Ellen White to chase.
Thineys thunderous volley
brought the best from England
keeper Karen Bardsley in the
25th.
Necib rifled the side-netting
shortly afterward, after creating
space for the shot.
Bardsleywasrelievedtoseeher
attempted clearance whizz over
after it rebounded off Delies face
in the 36th, before she deflected
Necibs swinging free kick out for
a corner.

Players on the French team celebrate after they defeated England on penalty kicks in their quar-
terfinal match at the Womens Soccer World Cup in Leverkusen, Germany, on Saturday.
DRESDEN, Germany The
U.S. is the No. 1teaminthe world,
a two-time World Cup champion
andthree-timeOlympic goldmed-
alist.
However, the only number that
matters right now is zero. As in,
thenumber of WorldCups thecur-
rent teamhas won.
I take it personally that I
havent wonone, Abby Wambach
saidSaturday, andIll beheartbro-
ken if we walk away without one.
The Americans better get it in
gear then. After losing a group
stagematchfor thefirst timeat the
World Cup, they must play old foe
Brazil in the quarterfinals today.
Its a matchup most had penciled
in for next weekends final. Lose,
andnot onlywill theAmericansbe
going empty-handed again, it will
be their earliest exit at the World
Cup, a tournament they last won
in1999.
The United States is the only
teamthats made the semifinals at
each of the previous five World
Cups.
Wehavetheconfidenceandthe
faith in each other as a team,
Wambach said. We have our
hands full. But I believe we have
the best chance of winning.
Historywouldseemtobackthat
up. Gobackmorethanadecade, to
the Algarve Cup in the spring of
2001, tofindthe last time the Unit-
ed States lost back-to-back games.
Its been more than four years just
since the Americans failed to win
consecutive games.
Yet the U.S. has been uncharac-
teristicallyinconsistent of late, los-
ing four games since November.
Granted, Hope Solo started only
one of those losses, and not even
Iker Casillas would have stood
much of a chance against Lisa
Dahlkvists penalty or Nilla Fisch-
ers deflected free kick in the 2-1
loss to Sweden on Wednesday
night.
But theAmericansdont doloss-
es. Theyusuallygoyearswithout a
singleonelikethetwoyear-plus
unbeaten streak they had before
being stunned by Mexico in re-
gional qualifying.
It doesnt matter if the U.S. has
hadsomebadresults inthelast six
months, said Marta, Brazils daz-
zling playmaker. Its Brazil-U.S., a
big game. Its special.
Just like its mens team, Brazils
roster is loaded with spectacular
players. Marta, the FIFA player of
the year five times running, is so
gifted with the ball it looks as if
shes got it on a string, creating
goals out of thin air. Cristiane has
scored twice so far, once on a pen-
alty kick. Brazils unique 3-5-2 for-
mation presents all kinds of chal-
lenges.
For all their star power, the Bra-
zilianshavenever wonthetitleat a
major tournament. They lost to
the Americans in the last two
Olympic finals, and were runners-
up to Germany at the 2007 World
Cup.
Their track record against the
Americans is less thanimpressive.
The U.S. is 23-2-2 all-time against
Brazil, with only one loss since Ja-
nuary 1998. All but four of those
matchessince1998wereshutouts,
and Brazil managed a grand total
of eight goals.
Those defeats dont matter,
Brazil coach Kleiton Lima said
throughatranslator. Theyriseup
with this experience. They are
much better in this moment.
Much has been made about the
teams last meeting at the World
Cup. Brazils 4-0 rout in the semi-
finals was the worst defeat in U.S.
historyandledtoameltdownwor-
thy of a soap opera. Goalkeeper
Hope Solo blasted then-coach
Greg Ryans decision to bench her
against Brazil despite three
straight shutouts, and Ryan re-
sponded by kicking Solo off the
team. Less than a month later,
Ryan was essentially fired.
Top-ranked America
faces test in Brazil
In bid to win first Cup since
1999, U.S. must defeat old
rival in todays quarterfinals.

This is about as
quiet as our
weather pattern
gets in
Northeastern
Pennsylvania. A
ridge of high
pressure is
locked in over
our corner of
America, provid-
ing a sunny
weekend up and
down the East
Coast. Asouth-
westerly breeze
will kick up some
heat this after-
noon, but humid-
ity levels will
remain comfort-
ably low. Some
locations may
flirt with 90
today. If it does-
nt happen this
afternoon, tem-
peratures will
more than likely
reach 90 Monday
afternoon. The
next chance for
rain looks to be
Monday night or
Tuesday as a
cold front
arrives from the
Midwest. The
rain will be
short-lived, with
sun returning.
- Ryan Coyle
NATIONAL FORECAST: Widespread showers and thunderstorms will stretch across the United States
today. Look for scattered storms in the Southwest, extending northward into the Intermountain West.
A series of frontal boundaries in the northern and central Plains will contribute to the chance of
storms extending across the Midwest and into the Great Lakes.

BUSINESS S E C T I O N D
THE TIMES LEADER SUNDAY, JULY 10, 2011
timesleader.com
I
ts getting tougher to live in the
executive suite, at least if youre in
the financial services business. Last
week the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corp. adopted a rule that would allow
it to go after executives and directors
of failed financial firms if they were
found negligent and substantially
responsible for the firms failure. Such
a finding would allow FDIC to recover
pay for the two years before it took
over a failed institution.
Predictably, the move drew howls of
pain from the fattest cats on Wall
Street. According to an article in The
Washington Post, a coalition of large
financial services trade groups called
parts of the rule fundamentally un-
justifiable and counterproductive.
Such a rule could encourage a re-
volving door of senior executives and
directors seeking to avoid recoupment,
a situation that would undermine,
rather than promote, stability, the
group wrote.
Based on a recent survey of CEO
pay, I doubt thats going to happen. A
study commissioned by The New York
Times found median pay among the
leaders of the 200 largest U.S. compa-
nies rose 23 percent in 2010, to $10.8
million. At the top was Philippe P.
Dauman of Viacom, who hauled in
$84.5 million in salary, bonuses and
equity options. The company said that
was an exaggeration, though, since $30
million of it was a one-time signing
bonus for renewing his employment
contract.
Did you notice that the bankers
statement implied a total lack of com-
mitment to their responsibilities to
their company, shareholders or em-
ployees? Instead it suggests that top
execs would jump ship at the merest
hint that some of their booty might be
seized, leaving the cleanup work to
others.
Among the hoi polloi whose employ-
ment is guaranteed only by their de-
pendability and competence, raises
have been more modest; according to
the Hay Group, a Philadelphia consult-
ing firm, average workers got about
one-half percent last year. And that
probably doesnt take into account that
for many their contributions toward
health insurance premiums and other
benefits rose for many.
Raising this issue invariably draws
howls of protest from the right, who
hyperbolically call it class warfare.
Perhaps thats true in a sense, as some
of those who labor faithfully on the
shop floor resent a top-heavy pay struc-
ture. It would be equally correct to
view it from the other direction; are
those who grant themselves and their
cronies huge pay packages while cut-
ting the workforce and holding down
blue-collar salaries waging war on the
regular fellows and gals below?
While there may be social, ethical or
moral concerns about vast income
inequality, theres a much more practi-
cal side to the argument; the economy
cannot be consistently robust unless
the majority of people feel secure about
their present and future circumstances.
No matter how much they are paid, the
wealthy simply cant buy enough goods
and services to sustain growth. But
millions of families buying homes and
cars, taking vacations, and saving for
their childrens college education can.
There is no shortage of ideas for
correcting this situation, from a value-
added tax that falls heaviest on those
who spend the most, to a restructuring
of income tax rates that returns pro-
gressivity to historic levels (and asks
upper middle earners to kick in more,
too). The problem is that enough
Washington legislators of both par-
ties are in the in crowd that theyre
unlikely to make the dramatic changes
that are needed. Until we, the people,
decide to change that, were likely to
muddle on our present mediocre path
indefinitely.

WILKES-BARRE Country music blares from a Panasonic
stereorestingona display shelf behindthe counter at The Trad-
ing Post, the citys only pawn shop. The musical genre has been
ridiculed for depressing songs about people trying to make
ends meet and doing what they can to get by.
But its the perfect soundtrack for
some of the stores customers.
Over the past four years, as the local
andnational economy have tankedand
unemployment rates have remained
high, businesses such as The Trading
Post have seen increased business on
the pawn and selling sides.
People are trying to get extra cash
for gas, to pay the bills and even to buy
food for themselves and diapers for
their children. Great grandmoms chi-
na, the televisionset inthe spare room,
and stacks of DVDs, CDs and video
games are finding their way into Renea
Emerichs South Main Street store.
A lot of people dont want to get rid
of their stuff, but they have to, said
Frank Nemeth, one of the Trading
Posts employees.
Emerichsees the pawnstore as anal-
ternative for people to make ends
meet.
Were here to help, she said.
While she has a business to operate,
she said she often gets caught up in the
stories people have to share about why
theyre selling or pawning their cher-
ished belongings, like dads retirement
watch, engagement rings and wedding
bands.
They all have stories. Its very inter-
estingbecauseyoujust hear all kinds of
stories. Its sad in a way, too, Emerich
said.
Often, in the pawn world, Emerich
said people are really just looking to
get a few bucks as a short-term loan
and then return for their items in a few
weeks or months. But in recent years,
the selling, rather than pawning, as-
pect of the business has picked up. But
as the economy has gotten a bit better,
the store is now seeing elevated num-
bers of buyers looking for bargains.
Pawningmeans youcantake anitem
to the shop, say a Rolex watch, and ask
for an amount of money less than what
the shop can get if they sold your item.
The customer would then have up to
four months to bring the amount of
money loaned, plus 3-percent interest
per month, backtotheshopandget the
itemback. After four months, the item
becomes the property of the store and
can be sold to anyone, including the
original owner, at a price determined
by the shop.
Emerich said historically half of all
items taken in by the shop have been
pawned, the other half purchased.

lives in a 600 square-foot, one-bedroom
apartment inPaloAltowithanoldcouch
and TV. His favorite shoes are hand-me-
down brown leather wingtips that, at 39,
are older thanhe is. He gets $12 haircuts.
He drove a1996 Ford Contour until he
ran it into the ground at 150,000 miles.
His newride is a SubaruOutback that he
bought for $29,000.
Youd never know the 30-year-old en-
trepreneur sold his Internet startup for
$170 million in 2009 or that he is now a
top executive at Intuit Inc., the financial
software company.
With a fewnotable exceptions, Silicon
Valleys rising young stars are rejecting
the traditional symbols of status: fast
cars, yachts, luxuryhomes. Tomaketheir
mark, theyreputtingtheirwealthintoso-
cial causes and startup ventures.
Wealth needs a purpose greater than
big houses and flashy cars, said Patzer,
founder of Mint.com, whichhelps people
manage their money.
Its more about creating technology
that millions will use than making mil-
lions of dollars, they say. Their aim is to
keepupwithSteve Jobs, not the Joneses.
At 27, Dustin Moskovitz is the worlds

NEW YORK Are you a wireless
data glutton or a nibbler?
New Verizon Wireless customers
will havetofigurethat out nowthat the
countrys largest wireless carrier has
rolled out data plans with monthly us-
age caps.
Verizon said that under the plans,
new smartphone users will pay be-
tween $30 and $80 each month for
plans that include 2 to 10 gigabytes of
data usage. Customers who use more
than their allotment will be charged
$10 more for each additional gigabyte.
The company currently charges $30 a
month for an unlimited smartphone
data plan.
This is well-trod ground AT&T
introduced capped data plans a year
ago. T-Mobile USA changed its unlim-
ited data plan in May. Although it
doesnt charge overage fees, the com-
pany slows the speedat whichcustom-
ers cansendandreceivedataoncethey
hit their allotted amount.
The new Verizon plans will apply
both to new customers and existing
customers who are trading up to
smartphones.
The tricky thing about capped data
plans is that few people have a clue
how much a megabyte of data is, so
they dont know how much to sign up
for. The phones themselves arent
much help: Although they can tell you
howmuchdatayouveconsumedsofar
this month, they cant tell youwhichof
your smartphones myriad functions
are responsible.
By contrast, a minute spent talking
on the phone is easy to understand,
andmany people have learnedroughly
how many minutes they use every
month.
For AT&T, the introduction of data
caps has gone quite well, but some cus-
tomers are complaining because their
data usage reports are hard to deciph-
er. AT&Tsays90percent of itscustom-
ersoncappedplansstaywithinthelim-
its, but it wont say how much those
whogoover enduppaying, onaverage.
Heres some help determining
which plan will work for you, even if
you dont know how many megabytes
are in a gigabyte.
Less than 200 megabytes per
month.

BUSINESS AGENDA
MIAMI For the companies
that hang their profits on savvy
cases for smartphones and tab-
lets, staying ahead of the compe-
tition means betting millions of
dollars on which mobile devices
will be hot and which will
flop.
Makers of accessories for mo-
bile gadgets are in a fight for a
piece of an industry thats ex-
pected to rake in $34 billion this
year.
Some products, like cases,
have a low barrier to entry:
Come up with a design, have
someone in China build it, and
sell it at a street fair. The difficul-
ty lies in standing out enough to
make the investment worth-
while and knowing which
phones are worth accessorizing.
There are so many people
flooding in here, said Michael
Morgan, senior analyst of mo-
bile devices at ABI Research.
The case market has explod-
ed.
Among those angling for a
share of the market is Sunrise,
Fla.-based A. G. Findings and
Manufacturing, or AGF, which
makes protective cases for
phones and tablets. Through
partnerships withcarriers, its of-
fice houses dozens of smart-
phone models that have yet tobe
released something most
tech rumor bloggers would love
to get their hands on. When to-
days big seller is outdated to-
morrow, theteamis inaneternal
race to get product in stores be-
fore every major smartphone
launch. Being late by just a few
weeks can mean losing 70 per-
cent of sales to a competitor.
A company like AGF has to
finda niche, andit has: by throw-
ing phones off buildings and
having them land in one piece.
Its Ballistic brand, a bulky,
multi-layered shock-resistant
case, is what put AGF at an an-
nual revenue today of $15 mil-
lion a figure that represents
doubled revenues each year for
the past three years, it says. Its
primary competition is Otter-
Box another maker of cases
that can protect a phone fromfa-
tal drops, and which has a more
recognizedbrandinmorestores.
Both have a price tag around
$50, but AGF is selling it for less
to retailers to scoop up more
shelf space.
Were willing to make less
profit than they are, said Fer-
nandoTages, AGFs chief operat-
ing officer. Now that weve en-
tered, Im sure that theyll need
to be competitive with us, and
theyll need to drop their prices
as well.
Since its start in 1993, AGFs
produce line has morphed with
technology. Originally it made
holsters and belt clips for beep-
ers remember those? as
well as generic leather sewn
cases that fit multiple phone
models. But todays flat, large-
screen smartphones require far
more engineering to get a per-
fect, snug fit.
Making a case takes eight to
12 weeks, and getting it out the
same day as launch is a chal-
lenge when a company like Ap-
ple keeps phone details a secret
until the last moment.
When AGF was given the
shape of the rumored iPhone 4
from an unknown source, exec-
utives had to make a quick deci-
sion. Did Apple really make a
boxy iPhone 4? Or could it be a
decoy to fool the media? If they
were to launch a case in time,
they would need to trust the in-
formation.
Not every gamble has worked.
The flop of the Google Nexus
line cost the firm a couple mil-
lion dollars in unwanted inven-
tory.
More than$5billionlikelywill
be spent on smartphone cases
this year, Morgan said a 53
percent increase from last year.
Consumers will spend an esti-
mated $820 million on tablet
cases most of that for Apples
iPad.
With the top-market smart-
phones priced around $200 and
tablets starting at around $400,
consumers see a bigger need to
protect their large-screen invest-
ments from accidental drops
and they can now do it in style.
Before the iPhone, cases
were made, big deal, so what,
Morgan said. After the iPhone,
cases were pretty and everyone
wants one.

Moskovitz said. I have pictured
myself owning expensive things
andeasily came tothe conclusion
that I wouldnot have a materially
more meaningful life because of
them.
Zuckerberg is another billio-
naire living belowhis means. For
years, he crashed in a tiny apart-
ment with a mattress on the floor
anddial-upInternet access. Here-
centlyboughthisfirsthouseinPa-
loAltofor $7 million, a fractionof
what he could afford.
Zuckerberg, who has listed
minimalism and eliminating
desire as interests on his Face-
book profile, drives an Acura. His
one major outlay: Last year he do-
nated $100 million to help im-
prove public schools in Newark,
N.J., among the countrys worst-
performing school systems.
Skeptics may wonder whether
all this conspicuous self-denial is
scripted. Tech titans know they
score public relations points by
showing a common touch par-
ticularly in austere times.
But the evidence suggests that
its not an act, according to Alice
Marwick, a researcher with Mi-
crosoft Corp. whose New York
University doctoral dissertation
in media studies was about social
status among the Internet set.
Itsnot that thisnewgeneration
of tech entrepreneurs doesnt
seek status, Marwick said. They
just seek it in different ways.
This is not a community that
values good looks, visible wealth
or having a hot body. Those are
not theways that theydistinguish
highstatusfromlowstatus, Mar-
wick said. Technology million-
aires dont hobnob with celebri-
ties or buyafancycar. Theytravel
to Thailand, or they fund an incu-
bator. These things are just as ex-
pensive, but thats the classic
hackerethosthat prizesthemind,
not materials.
The hacker ethos is also classi-
cally male. Being concerned
with appearance, shopping for
clothes and decorating your
house are feminine values. Tech
millionaires see that type of
spending as silly and frivolous,
Marwick said.
Silicon Valley measures
achievement by what entrepre-
neurs build, not what they buy.
Youdonot needtohave anAs-
ton Martin in the driveway, said
Drew Houston, the 28-year-old
chief executive and co-founder of
Dropbox, a San Francisco startup
that helps its 25 million users
worldwide store and share pho-
tos, videos and documents. Its
more important to have the free-
dom and the independence to
build something for a huge audi-
ence.
Wealthdoes haveits privileges.
Patzer may have a television that
is so old it cant streamApple TV,
a Christmas gift that sits un-
opened on the floor. But he did
shell out $25,000 to spenda week
celebratinghis30thbirthdaywith
friends aboard a catamaran yacht
in the British Virgin Islands, and
hes paying for his younger broth-
er toget a degree incomputer sci-
ence.
One reason many tech prodi-
gies avoid living large is that it
takes time to adjust to a sudden
increase in wealth, said Edward
Wolff, an economics professor at
NewYork University who studies
income and wealth. The newly
rich dont know how long their
good fortune will last, so theyre
cautious, he said.
Kevin Rose, founder of Digg, a
service that helps users discover
andsharecontent fromacross the
Web, appeared on the cover of

This is not a community that values good looks,
visible wealth or having a hot body. Those are not
the ways that they distinguish high status from
low status.

For those with feature phones
whowant a taste of the Web, Veri-
zon is offering a plan with 75
megabytes per month plan for
$10 per month. But any plan with
less than 200 megabytes per
month should be considered
mainly a tease.
Email, automatic software up-
dates and other data consump-
tion in the background will easily
eat up 75 megabytes in a month.
That could leave you paying $10
or more in overuse fees more
than you would if you had chosen
a more expensive plan to begin
with. This plan sounds like Veri-
zons way of luring people to
smartphones. Pick something
like this, and pretty soon, youll
find you need a higher data cap.
200 megabytes per month.
This is a popular size, offered
by both AT&T ($15 per month)
and T-Mobile ($10), but Verizon
wont beofferingit. Whenit intro-
duced this plan, AT&T said 65
percent of its subscribers con-
sumed less than 200 megabytes.
But that was a year ago. The av-
erage monthly data consumption
for a smartphone user back then
was 230 megabytes per month,
according to an analysis of phone
bills by The Nielsen Co. In the
first quarter of thisyear, thefigure
had grown to 435 megabytes per
month.
Cisco Systems Inc. has lower
estimates than Nielsen: 153
megabytes per month last year
and 245 megabytes this year. In
any case, the message is clear: a
planthat was bigenoughlast year
may not be big enough this year.
Subscribers seem to be discover-
ingmorefunanddata-consuming
things to do on their phones.
Its still possible to get by on
200 megabytes per month. If
youre a light user, stay away from
heavy-usage applications such as
online music streaming and Net-
flix video. Use Wi-Fi rather than
the phones cellular network as
much as possible. Wi-Fi usage
doesnt count toward your data
limit.
2 gigabytes per month.
This is AT&Ts standard
plan, for which it charges $25 per
month. T-Mobile charges $20,
and Verizon will charge $30. This
will be enough for most people:
Verizon said Tuesday that 95 per-
cent of existing customers use
less than this amount each
month. And AT&T said last year
that the planwouldsatisfy98per-
cent of its smartphoneusers (that
figure is undoubtedly lower to-
day). If you like to stream online
music or videoconference for
hours on end, or watch Netflix
movies, youll blowpast it.
5 gigabytes per month.
Verizon will charge $50 for this
tier, while T-Mobile charges $30.
This would be for those who
spend a lot of time on their
phones. Laptop cards generally
come with this data limit.
10 gigabytes per month.
Those who intend to use a ton
of data may gravitate to this plan,
for which T-Mobile charges $60
and Verizon will be charging $80.
While unnecessary for most
smartphone users, this type of
plan will give you plenty of data
for streaming videos and music,
uploading photos and surfing the
Web.
What if you dont want to both-
er with any of this?
Sprint Nextel Corp. offers un-
limited data, seeing it as a crucial
way to keep and attract custom-
ers whoaretemptedbyaniPhone
at Verizon or AT&T.
However, offering an all-you-
can-eat data buffet gets expen-
sive. Sprint raised the fees for all
its smartphones by $10 per
month this winter to $30.

her father Walter MacCorkle last
year, her ability to pawn is on
holduntil theDepartment of Rev-
enue approves the corporation
ownership transfer; the depart-
ment of state approves the
change of address request once
one is made; and the department
of banking issues her pawnbrok-
ers license.
She hasnt lost much business
while the state process inches
along. Most people looking to
pawn an item just end up selling
it instead, she said.
Theyre desperate, she add-
ed. You hear a lot of I need diap-
ers, or my electricity is about to
get shut off.
MacCorkle, who still puts in
many hours a week helping his
daughter, said the public percep-
tion of a pawn shop has changed
over time.
The Trading Post is nothing
like the dark, dingy, seedy pawn
shops youd see in an old black
and white movie on AMC.
Guitars hang from the walls,
bright glass display cases filled
with watches, jewelry and elec-
tronics extend from the back of
the 1,800-square-foot showroom
to the front.
You wont find many items you
might expect to see in the shops
display cases. No weapons of any
kind guns, knives, swords,
daggers no baseball cards,
comic books, albums, paintings,
coins or pinball machines. These
items turn up often on reality tel-
evision shows that have given
millions of viewers a skewed
glimpse inside the pawn busi-
ness.
Emerich said she cant say
those shows, including the Histo-
ry Channels Pawn Stars, TLCs
Pawn Queens and TruTVs
Hardcore Pawn, have generat-
ed a large influx of newbusiness.
But she believes the publicity
hasnt hurt.
Those shows, while theyve
brought pawnshops intothe pop-
ular culture, are not necessarily
the truest representation of what
goes onina typical shop. Historic
documents, rare signed first edi-
tion books and paintings by Pi-
casso are not coming through the
Trading Posts door.
But plenty of Nintendo Wiis,
digital cameras, air conditioners
and power tools do come in,
some to be sold to the shop and
others bought by bargain hun-
ters.
The thing Emerich has taken
notice of is the generational dif-
ferences in customers. She said
many are younger, between 18
and 25, and older than 55. The el-
derly are selling; the young are
buying.

The Fireplace Gallery sells and fully services stoves, freplaces, furnaces, boilers and chimneys of all kinds. We have been saving economically conscious homeowners thousands of dollars
throughout the years by providing energy smart supplemental and main source heating systems to help with, or totally eliminate, their expensive electric, propane or oil heating bills.
Your Most Complete Fireplace and Chimney Experts
FIREPLACE GALLERY
One of the most effcient ways to minimize your heating
bill is to switch your existing oil, propane or natural gas
to an effective low cost coal fred furnace or boiler.
BOILERS & FURNACES FIREPLACE INSERTS
If you have an older freplace it may have an
effciency rating of just 5-10% due to the open
combustion design that allows the heated
room air to be drawn into the fre, wasting
energy and cooling down the house. A
freplace insert is an insulated, sealed system
with a high effciency that translates into more
heat output in your house to help save money.

Ask our Professionals Which is Right for You
Q: My written termination no-
tice misrepresents the reason
that I no longer work for my for-
mer employer. It states that I
failed to comply with the re-
quired start time of 8 a.m. This is
not the whole story, so I want to
provide the actual facts in my up-
coming job interviews.
The truth is that my 100-mile
commute became a hardship
when fog created dangerous driv-
ing conditions. My manager re-
fused to consider telecommuting
as an option, even though I had
previously proved that I could
perform my duties from home.
The real problem was his as-
sistant, wholikes tobe incontrol.
She resented my good working
relationshipwithhim, soshe con-
vinced him that the work I pro-
duced from home was deficient.
Because he relies on her heavily
and agrees with everything she
says, he would not let me tele-
commute.
I dont want tosell myself short
by adhering to the companys fic-
tion that I was fired for tardiness,
but I also dont want to malign
my former manager. Howshould
I explain this situation?
A: If you tell prospective em-
ployers exactly what youjust told
me, they will immediately con-
clude that you are a high-mainte-
nance employee and ditch your
application. To avoid being
viewed as a risky hire, you need a
reason for your departure that
doesnt make you sound irritable
or demanding.
For example, youmight simply
explain that your excessively
longcommute made it difficult to
consistently arrive on time, then
describe how you will avoid be-
ing tardy in your next position.
This assumes, of course, that you
have nowmade the wise decision
to apply for jobs closer to home.
Q: In my unit, I hold the posi-
tion of union coordinator, which
is a liaison between management
and employees. One of my re-
sponsibilities is to talk with the
supervisor about productivity, so
in the past I have been candid
about individual performance is-
sues. I didnt expect this informa-
tion to be used against anyone.
Recently, however, our super-
visor gave some performance
warnings that seem based on my
comments. Now I feel trapped in
the middle of a conflict between
management and my co-workers.
I dont knowwhether I should re-
mainneutral or take a side, so Im
afraid to say anything. Do you
have any advice?
A: Fortunately for you, the role
of coordinator is probably de-
fined by your union contract.
Your obligation is to understand
this definition and see that every-
one involved respects it.
If the coordinator is supposed
to be a neutral liaison, you will
need to avoid taking sides. But if
your role is to represent the inter-
ests of employees to manage-
ment, then your side has been
defined for you. To get clarifica-
tion, talk with your union stew-
ard(or whoever is responsiblefor
contract interpretation).
You must also determine
whether youare supposedtogive
the supervisor feedback about in-
dividual employees. If so, your
co-workers need to know that.
But if not, then your supervisor
must be told not to ask.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. Small
businesses looking to grow say
theyre running into challenges
when they seek financing: Loans
are harder to secure, and some-
times are more expensive than
before the recession.
Lending is picking up around
the country. But it hasnt thawed
enough to spark meaningful job
growth, and business owners
and advocates say thats a drag
on the economic recovery.
Lenders say they want to do
deals but that many businesses
are hesitant to take on more
debt. They acknowledge their
standards are strict in the wake
of a devastating financial crisis
and tougher regulations. And
some say theyre taking fewer
risks.
One recent study found just 30
percent of small businesses that
wanted credit would qualify for
traditional or Small Business
Administration-backed loans,
with interest rates below 8 per-
cent. Nearly half would have to
turn to alternatives, such as un-
secured credit, that can cost as
much as 31percent, according to
the survey fromMultiFunding, a
Pennsylvania startup that helps
businesses find the right lender.
Small businesses power the
economy, with firms smaller
than 500 workers employing half
the countrys private-sector
workforce. Those businesses ex-
perience greater job losses when
the economy sheds jobs, partly
because of their dependence on
the larger firms they serve. But
when the economy gains jobs,
small businesses tend to lead.
Firms with fewer than 500 em-
ployees have seen gross employ-
ment rise an average of 8 percent
since the recession ended, com-
pared to 3 percent for larger
companies, data from the U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics show.
Fueling that job growth is es-
pecially important these days,
given the sense, among many,
that the recovery is losingsteam.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben
Bernanke warned last month
that some of the problems slow-
ing the U.S. economy, from a
weak financial sector to a strug-
gling housing market, could per-
sist into next year.
Lending and access to capital
is really the crucial element,
said Chuck Bamford, an entre-
preneurship professor at Queens
University of Charlotte, who pre-
dicts lending will gradually pick
up in coming months. The con-
trolled approach means that
were not going to roar out of this
recession.
MultiFunding Chief Executive
Ami Kassar said banks should be
doing more to help small busi-
nesses expand.
If youre one of the fortunate
few who has equity left in your
house, buildings, equipment,
you can get some really wonder-
ful, super-cheap loan rates, he
said. Unfortunately, if youre
one of the most not in that sit-
uation, there are options, but its
pretty expensive.
MultiFundings first-quarter
study, which surveyed 250 small
businesses, found 15 percent
wouldnt qualify for any financ-
ing.
Thats keeping some compa-
nies from borrowing money,
Kassar said.
I dont think its for lack of de-
mand, he said. Thats balo-
ney.
Small businesses are ready for recovery, but their lenders arent

BOSTON Complacency
rarely pays. Its a lesson many in-
vestorshavelearnedthehardway
so, heading into a summer when
volatility is back in the market,
theyll be watching closely.
Three months ago, everything
seemed to be in place for another
quarter of strong mutual fund re-
turns. Theeconomic recoveryap-
peared to be on track and unem-
ployment was edging downward.
The stock market had risen for
three consecutive quarters, and
seven of the last eight, dating to
the start of the bull market in
March 2009.
But momentum has shifted.
Stock funds posted an average
loss of 0.4 percent in the second
quarter, accordingtofundtracker
Lipper.
That small decline came as the
economic recoverybegantostall.
A spate of disappointing reports
about manufacturing, hiring and
housing sent economists scram-
bling to scale back their already-
modest growth projections for
the year.
I can see a choppy summer,
Lipper fund analyst Tom Roseen
says. Volatility is in the market
now, andpeople are takinga little
bit more defensive stance.
Highlights from Lippers sec-
ond-quarter fund performance
numbers:
Top sectors flip-flop:
Some of the first quarters top-
performing funds fell to the back
of the pack. Natural resources
funds that specialize in oil and
mining stocks lost an average 5.6
percent in the second quarter, af-
ter gaining 14 percent in the first
quarter. Those stocks tend to
move more closely in sync with
the economy than most, as their
profits are linked to demand for
commodities.
Industrial funds are another
group that enjoyed strong first-
quarter performance (upnearly 7
percent) because the economy
was growing at a steady clip. In
the second quarter, those funds
lost an average1.7 percent.
Defensive funds win:
Funds investing in stocks that
tendtobestableperformers post-
ed strong second-quarter gains.
That helped funds that specialize
in U.S. health care and biotech-
nology stocks post an average 6.7
percent return. Funds that invest
in health care and biotech global-
lywerethetopperformersamong
all sectorfunds, witha7.3percent
average return.
Utilities stocks, which tend to
see steady demand in good times
andbad, alsohadastrongquarter,
returning an average 3.4 percent.
Real estate rebounds:
Funds that invest in real estate
investment trusts companies
that own and often operate in-
come-producingproperties re-
turned 3.5 percent on average.
REITfunds have fared well lately
because their performance is
closely tied to the commercial re-
al estate market, which is in bet-
ter shape than the residential
market. REITs also have been
popular with investors recently
becausetheyrerequiredtopaydi-
vidends. Financials fumble:
Funds that specialize in stocks
of banks and other financial ser-
vices companies lost an average
4.5 percent. One of the big losers
was American International
Group, the insurer that received
thelargest federal bailout coming
out of thefinancial crisis. Itsstock
tumbled nearly 17 percent in the
quarter.
Big beats small:
Funds that invest in stocks of
large companies lost an average
0.2percent. Thatsbetter thanthe

SURPRISES AHEAD
Some companies shocked investors
in the first quarter with earnings that
blew past analyst expectations. Of
the companies in the S&P 500 that
have reported 1Q earnings, 70 per-
cent beat analyst expectations, ac-
cording to Capital IQ. The industries
with the highest percentage of earn-
ings surprises were materials, con-
sumer discretionary, and healthcare.
Strong earnings helped companies in
the S&P 500 grow 19.3 percent in the
first quarter. An earnings report that
tops analyst expectations by even a
little bit often pleases investors, but
some companies beat forecasts by
an order of magnitude, like Interna-
tional Paper, with EPS 1,750 percent
higher than expected.
FARMVILLE FAT CATS
Zynga employees who own stock in the
company could soon find themselves sud-
denly wealthy. Good for them, but maybe
not for the company. The highly-anticipat-
ed public offering of the maker of Face-
book games FarmVille and CityVille, is
expected soon and could raise $1 billion.
But Zynga executives worry that those
newly-minted millionaires could lose their
startup mentality. In an unusual move, the
company noted in a pre-IPO SEC filing
that its best and brightest may no longer
want to work once theyve cashed in their
stock. That new money could cause rifts
in the workplace, too. We expect that this
offering will create disparities in wealth
among our employees, which may harm
our culture and relations among employ-
ees, said the filing.
SEARCHING FOR GOLD
Want to know what investors are
thinking? Just ask Google. What
internet users search for seems to
indicate that people are shying
away from typical ways to build up
a nest egg. Terms like investing,
stock investing and bonds have
fallen in popularity over the last
seven years, according to technol-
ogy firm ConvergEx Group. The
trend coincides with lower mutual
fund investing and lighter trading
from retail investors since the fi-
nancial crisis, says ConvergEx
strategist Nicholas Colas. But if
Google is any indicator, some in-
vestors are still looking for a way
to get rich fast. Searches for Fa-
cebook stock are rising. Source: ConvergEx Group

SURPRISE
Data as of July 1 Source: Capital IQ
Its been a volatile year for stocks in
Latin America. The MSCI Brazil in-
dex is down 3 percent this year, the
MSCI Peru index is down 30 per-
cent and the MSCI Mexico index is
up less than 1 percent. Yet Heiner
Skaliks, portfolio manager of the
Strategic Latin America Fund
(SLATX), says those countries still
look attractive for investors.
Where are you
finding oppor-
tunities?
We think Brazil,
Peru and Mexico
are oversold on
the equity front.
Is that because
theyve gotten
beaten up re-
cently?
Yes, beat up is
an understate-
ment. Were country agnostic, were
industry agnostic and were curren-
cy agnostic. Its not like we have to
be in Mexico and have 50 percent
of our portfolio there. If it doesnt
make sense to be in Mexico, we
wont be in Mexico. Very simple;
well invest elsewhere. Whats criti-
cal about investing in Latin America
is the currency exchange rate thats
in place. Mexico is one currency,
Brazils another currency, Perus
another currency, Chiles another
currency, Uruguay is another cur-
rency, Colombia is another curren-
cy. Right there, you already have
six currencies that you have to
keep an eye on.
Tell me about your top holdings.
What stocks do you like?
We tend to favor the indices in
Brazil: EWZ (the iShares MSCI
Brazil Index), which encompasses
the entire country. And its not that
were lazy and we dont want to do
our homework and get into the ac-
tual stock-picking, but EWZ is such
a great vehicle to capture the en-
tire potential that Brazil has. ... (In
Peru), we specifically like BAP,
which is Credicorp. Credicorp is
the largest holding company in Pe-
ru. (It has) banking operations in
Peru and Bolivia, so we know them
very well. (Credicorp has) good
management, good potential for
growth. ... Following the same line
in Peru, we also like BVN
(Compaa de Minas Buenaventu-
ra). Its one of the largest gold min-
ing companies in the world (and
one of the) largest silver compa-
nies. (It has) great operations, very
efficient, very low cost operations.
Theyre in the process of explora-
tion right now to expand their oper-
ations. (In the) first-quarter they
had an 86 percent revenue in-
crease year-over-year.
What about Mexico? What com-
panies do you like there?
Cemex (CX), the cement company,
is our top holding right now. We like
Cemex for several reasons. One of
them is that its the cement-in-ag-
gregate business. If youre going to
build Latin America, from a philo-
sophical perspective, you can use
words and ideas. But, at the end of
the day, you need cement (to build
it up). ... Theres a lack of infrastruc-
ture and housing in Latin America,
and Cemex has a very strong pres-
ence in Central America. Theyre
based in Mexico (and) they were
awarded part of the expansion of
the Panama Canal.
What parts of Latin America are
you staying away from?
We have a very opportunistic ap-
proach; we dont discard anything
until we do an analysis. Does it
make sense to invest in this coun-
try right now? Are we going to get
the bang for our buck that were
looking for? If we dont feel com-
fortable with the political scenario,
well stay away from it. If we dont
like the social conditions there, ei-
ther because of political unrest or
social unrest, if we dont like the
economic fundamentals, if we
dont like the financials, then well
stay away from it. There are sever-
al countries in South America that
we dont invest in. Some of them,
like Uruguay, for example, its be-
cause theres no availability of se-
curities. Or because its too
expensive...Then you have Bolivia.
Were based in Bolivia, yet we
dont have any investments in Bo-
livia, because the (interest) rates in
Bolivia are lower than they are in
the U.S. So were scratching our
heads and saying: Where does it
make more sense to invest, in the
U.S. or Bolivia?

InsiderQ&A
U.S. companies have more than
$1 trillion in cash sitting overseas,
and theyre lobbying for a tax break
to bring it home. If they succeed,
hundreds of billions of dollars could
be headed for shareholders through
buybacks and dividends.
Companies currently pay up to
35 percent in income taxes on for-
eign profits they bring home. One
proposal in Congress would cut the
rate to 5.25 percent in hopes of
spurring U.S. investment. Cisco,
Pfizer and other big companies
have lobbied for the tax holiday on
repatriating overseas earnings.
Congress tried this once, in
2004. Back then, companies re-
turned $362 billion to the U.S. For
every $1 brought back, up to 92
cents ended up with shareholders.
Thats according to researchers
from the University of Illinois, Har-
vard University and the Massachu-
setts Institute of Technology. Most of
the shareholders bounty came from
buybacks, 79 cents of each $1.
Companies were required to use
repatriated dollars for hiring and oth-
er investments. They did so, but
they then took the dollars previously
allocated for investment and used
them instead on buybacks.
If Congress passes another holi-
day, expect even more cash to re-
turn. Foreign sales make up a bigger
proportion of companies sales:
about 47 percent for the S&P 500
last year, up from 39 percent in 2005.
The last holiday helped some
stocks more than others. PepsiCo,
for example, brought back $7.5 bil-
lion in 2005, and it rose 13 percent.
But while repatriated cash will sup-
port a stock, it cant necessarily
make it rise. DuPont brought back
$9.1 billion in 2005, and it raised its
dividend that year. But that didnt
mask the 3 percent drop in annual
revenue it reported. DuPonts stock
fell 13 percent in 2005.

Drinking in the profits
Stock
Screener
Why not invest in a company with a product
whose demand is guaranteed?
Thats why analysts are optimistic about water-
related stocks. Demand for clean water is growing
daily with the worlds population. Supplies, mean-
while, are under stress. Enter companies that help
to clean, move and monitor water.
This screen shows U.S. stocks that Credit Su-
isse says can take advantage of water demand
over the long term. They are mostly infrastruc-
ture companies that make water meters, pro-
duce water treatment chemicals or make pipe-
lines. These stocks can be riskier than tradition-
al water utilities, whose profits tend to be more
stable. But few water utilities trade in the United
States. Publicly traded ones are more common
in Europe.
These infrastructure companies would also ben-
efit from an anticipated pickup in water-related proj-
ects. Credit Suisse expects higher spending partic-
ularly by China. The World Bank says Chinas
economy, already one of the worlds fastest grow-
ing, would be growing even more quickly if it
werent for water shortages.
Credit Suisses top pick among the group is
Ashland, which makes water treatment and other
kinds of chemicals. Its water division has become a
more important part of the company. It provided 20
percent of Ashlands total revenue in 2010, up from
11 percent in 2008.

Yields fall on negative employment news
The 10-year Treasurys yield sank to 3.02 percent
last week. Most of the drop came on Friday, after a
report that the U.S. added the smallest number of
jobs in nine months sent stocks tumbling. Spooked
investors sought the relative safety of Treasurys,
whose yields fall when prices rise. But the average
rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage rose last week to
4.60 percent from 4.51 percent.

THE TIMES LEADER SUNDAY, JULY 10, 2011

ONEWEEKago Amer-
icans basked in a gov-
ernmental respite as
we celebrated 235 years
of American independ-
ence and the exquisite
political acumen it
required to declare it.
But no sooner had the colorful grand
finale bursting in air high above Wilkes-
Barres Kirby Park ceased its long climac-
tic roar, than the broken government
currently occupying our nations capital
reasserted its irritating headlines.
Front and center is the ongoing and
irresponsible game of chicken being
played by congressional Republicans over
the imperative economic reality to raise
Americas debt ceiling the statutory
level necessary to pay the nations bills
already approved and incurred.
The concern is for global markets and
their subsequent reverberation should
the United States of America, not some
Fifth World oligarchy, default next month
on its domestic and worldwide financial
obligations. Enough respected econo-
mists have made it unmistakingly clear
that this game of Republican road rage is
not one in which our supposed leaders
should be engaged.
Raising the debt ceiling so America can
pay its mortgage and its utility, grocery,
credit card and phone bills is a regularly
reoccurring and rather obscure and mun-
dane piece of legislation. But 17 months
before the 2012 presidential election it
has been elevated by many in an increas-
ingly unhinged Republican Party to the
height of economic Armageddon.
Messing with the national debt owed
and the prospect of default at home and
abroad would be an American financial
calamity. Never before has the United
States defaulted on its obligations. Past
congressional leaders fromboth parties,
and the presidents with whomthey
served, probably never dreamt of per-
petrating such high-jinks.
Under President Obama the national
debt ceiling already has been raised
twice. It was increased four times during
the Clinton administration, seven under
George W. Bush and many more during
the Reagan years.
But this is not the Reagan years. Presi-
dent Reagan would not recognize the
party he once led.
Today the national Republican Party is
virtually wholly owned by an increasingly
irrational fringe that promotes primary
elections against conservative GOPoffi-
cials who do not do their bidding. In 2010
we witnessed this tactic in several states.
Next year, Republicans Orrin Hatch of
Utah and Richard Lugar of Indiana, two
lions of the U.S. Senate, will see it again
firsthand.
As disconcerting as that might seemto
thoughtful conservatives, what is tragic is
the timid silence of respected policy
makers, leaders of large stature, who
seemgenuinely intimidated lest they be
primaryd next.
In his Independence Day column on
Monday, however, veteran conservative
political columnist David Brooks broke
fromthe herd. Placing country above
tea-baggers, Brooks urged congressional
Republicans to compromise on the im-
pending debt ceiling vote. He called it, a
no-brainer.
Yet he lamented: But we can have no
confidence that the Republicans will
seize this opportunity. Thats because the
Republican Party may no longer be a
normal party. Over the past fewyears, it
has been infected by a faction that is
more of a psychological protest than a
practical, governing alternative.
Brooks column is a must-read for every
American. But perhaps most illustrative
of the current state of our national poli-
tics has been the mean-spirited criticism
leveled at himby fellowconservatives
outraged that he would even dare to
suggest a compromise with the president
of the United States.
Unlike Brooks, his critics seemun-
aware that 235 years ago it was the art of
compromise that moved Virginias Reso-
lution on Independence to the floor of the
Continental Congress for a vote. And it
was compromise that cobbled together
the near unattainable unanimous vote
required for its adoption.

charged fromthe
woods miles from
civilization, which
today means no cell
phone service, and
smashed into a car
containing five of our
family members.
The same five abruptly abandoned our
lakes Fourth of July boat parade when
our boat was swamped by a lake version
of a tsunami.
All of this provided our own version of
fireworks before the actual excitement
that accompanies the annual celebration
of independence.
Past family history should have pres-
aged that calamity had not subsided, but
we naively assumed the nighttime flurry
of small rockets midair on the Fourth was
the end of high anxiety and goose bumps.
But the next day we launched another
of our old-but-family-favorite boats. It
sank. Sank, as in sunk.
The sinking was particularly disheart-
ening given our hope, which was bounti-
ful as the boat slipped fromthe trailer and
its motor hummed with life at the first
turn of the ignition key.
This looked like a year of redemption
for the old boat. It had started. The en-
gine actually cranked over a time or two
and then, kaboom, it was idling at full
speed.
She eased out of the right-of-way and
into the open water. At full throttle she
fell back into old habits and began to
sputter, lose speed, and, finally, stall.
Engine failure soon became the second
worst problemon the boat when its in-
habitants quickly realized it was sinking.
At this point we were only three days
into a weeks summer vacation at camp.
Some of us had taken the usual Maine
vacation, which means you drive an hour
or two or three but stay in Maine to relax
and regenerate. Others had traveled from
the heart of Manhattan to escape the
tension, heat and hustle of the big city.
On the fifth day, our family discovered
you could be hauled before the local
kangaroo court of elected village officials
and threatened with fines for cutting
trees on your own property. Of course,
the officials couldnt quite locate the local
ordinance, which was new, they said, and
apparently not yet in print.
Or maybe the towns copier was out of
order. Either way, you could take their
word for it that you violated an ordinance
and agree to plant six new, 12-foot-high
trees, or you could start the meter run-
ning on $100 a day in fines.
Six generations ago our family made its
living cutting, harvesting and selling
lumber. Talk about folks rolling over in
their graves.
You call this a break fromstress?
Well, actually, we do.
So much so that today, when we sweep
up the daily mouse droppings and the
dead ants that are part of camp life, pack
the cars and shutter the doors for a few
weeks, everyone will be moping, shoul-
ders will stoop, frowns will hang fromthe
faces of young and old. Chagrin will
envelop the day.
Its been another great week at camp,
another seven days that add even more
time to the more than 60 years weve
come to the deep, verdant woods and
blue, clear, spring-fed waters of Maine.
This year we had the great fortune of
80-degree, sunny days. The heat made
the cold lake water seemmore invigor-
ating and refreshing than ever. We swam
in the morning, when the lake was calm
and shimmered like glass; at midday,
when a fewwaves might splash into your
face; and at night, before an approaching
crescent moon illuminated weeks end.
We ate as a family, all of us at the same
time, each night on the screened-in porch
overlooking the lake. Television, video
games, iPads and cell phones worked in
some places but not in others. It did not
matter. They were barely in use.
On the table there were Maines fresh
fruits, newvegetables, fish, artisan
cheeses and breads.
On our minds and tongues were often
the forbidden dinner topics in most set-
tings: politics and religion. Press issues
should be forbidden for us but are not. A
fewegos and feelings might have been
bruised but none permanently. Lively
discussions amid a peaceful, languid
setting.

WATERLOO, Iowa Michele Bach-
mann made her mark on cable televi-
sionas a strident critic of the Obama ad-
ministration. Mitt Romney has spent
months impugning the president as a
failure.
But suddenly, the leading candidates
for the Republican nomination have si-
dled down a parallel path, threading
their remarks with a clear, if sometimes
selective, civility toward Democrats.
Pressed by two voters in NewHamp-
shireabout howhewoulduniteadeeply
polarized country, Romney recalled
working with Edward M. Kennedy, an
utterance nearly heretical to some con-
servative voters who saw the late Mas-
sachusetts senator as the embodiment
of big-government liberalism.
Bachmann, formally kicking off her
presidential bid in Waterloo, Iowa,
blamed the gridlock in Washington on
both political parties and pointedly re-
ached out to disaffected Democrats.
A GOP rival, former Utah Gov. Jon
Huntsman Jr., recently launched his
campaign by pledging to bring a more
genteel tone to Washington and prais-
ing President Barack Obamas love of
country.
The remarks contrasted starkly with
the bitter contentiousness that typifies
Washington which was exactly the
point. Withthecapital at avirtual stand-
still, political experts say the overtures
reflect a strategic need for candidates
seeking the White House: to mollify
frustrations that have been building
since before the 2008 election.

OVER AIR FORCE BASE, Del. The C-17 Globemaster waited on the
tarmac, its tail painted with an American flag and a fierce-looking eagle.
Minutes earlier, the giant cargo jet had arrived from the U.S. airbase at
Ramstein, Germany carryingthe flag-drapedcasket of a Marine killedincombat
inAfghanistan. SevenenlistedMarines were onthe flight line to serve as a white-
gloved carry team, ready to lift the casket from the plane and gingerly walk it
down a ramp and to a large unmarked white van for the slow journey to the base
mortuary.
The Marines and Air Force
personnel waited in respectful
silence near the plane.
Moments later, an Air Force
sergeant, assigned to film the
ritual, gave out the call, Family
wheels rolling. What the mili-
tary calls a dignified transfer
was about to commence.
A blue bus with darkened
windows and no markings
brought relatives of Lance Cpl.
Jared Verbeek to a close-in spot
where they watched the casket
being takenfromthe C-17 to the
van.
On the bus was a Marine staff
sergeant who had flown with
the family fromCalifornia. Also
present were a Navy chaplain
and senior officers from the Air
Force and Marine Corps.
Once the family was in posi-
tion, the process from plane to
van took less than seven min-
utes.
By policy, family members
were shielded from the view of
journalists. But the familys sob-
bing and cries of pain cut
through the warmnight air and
were audible even above the
sounds of aircraft landing and
taking off.
A child was crying. A woman
wailed out, Why? Why? Why?
Why?
Verbeek, 22, was assigned to
the 1st Battalion, 5th Marine
Regiment, based at Camp Pen-
dleton. The marriedfather of an
18-month-old son was killed
June 21by a roadside bomb out-
side the village of SangininHel-
mand province, a longtime Tali-
ban stronghold.
In 1991, during the Persian
Gulf War, the news media was
banned from witnessing the ar-
rival of caskets at Dover. The
prohibition came in response to
a 1989 incident in which a TV
network used a split screen to
juxtapose images of a jovial
President George H.W. Bush
andthe coffins of U.S. personnel
killed in Panama.

Editorial
The resignations are a step
forward, but still many questions
will be left in the minds
of citizens.
Thomas Baldino
The political science professor at Wilkes University reflected on the
departure of Wilkes-Barre Mayor Tom Leightons three relatives a
daughter, niece and nephew from their summer jobs with the city. The
trio quit the seasonal, paid posts amid public controversy about
whether the hirings were unethical.
NO ONE is more of a mas-
ter of political talking
points than President Ba-
rack Obama. Remember
shovel-ready projects?
These were construction
projects where the shovels
were supposed to start digging the moment
the government gave them the stimulus
money.
Two years later, Obama can joke about the
fact that the shovels were not as ready as he
thought. In reality, the shovels were never
ready. It can take forever to get all the envi-
ronmental approvals to build anything in
todays political and legal climate.
If Obama didnt know that, his advisers
surely did. He can treat it as a joke today but
it is no joke for those who are saddled with
the debts produced by his runaway spending
in the name of shovel-ready projects.
Nor is it a joke to the unemployed, who
remain unemployed despite all the stimu-
lus spending.
The talk about the many green jobs
created by the government is likewise no
joke. Since the government creates no
wealth, it can only transfer the wealth re-
quired to hire people. Even if the govern-
ment creates a million jobs, it is not a net
increase in jobs, when the money that pays
for those jobs is taken from the private sec-
tor, which loses much of its ability to create
private jobs.
But this is only mundane reality. What
makes a great political talking point is gov-
ernment coming to the rescue of the unem-
ployed by creating jobs. This talking point
helps politicians get re-elected, even if it
does nothing for the economy or for the
unemployment rate.
Among the biggest triumphs of talking
points over reality are political discussions of
rent control and gun control. Rent control
supposedly rescues helpless tenants from the
high rents charged by greedy landlords
at least in political rhetoric.
The two cities that have the oldest and
strongest rent control laws in the country
also have the highest rents New York and
San Francisco. Yet that plain reality has not
made a dent in the thinking, or lack of think-
ing, of those who support rent control.
Nor are they at all interested in other
realities about rent control, whether in these
two cities or in other cities around the world.
These realities include housing shortages
and a reduced supply of maintenance and
other auxiliary services, such as heat and hot
water.
Other forms of price control likewise lead
to shortages, and have for thousands of
years. But such plain realities do not affect
the heady social vision conjured up by talk-
ing points.
Far from being discouraged by such real-
ities, those who believe in price control for
housing often think price control for med-
icines and medical care is a great idea, too.
We need not speculate as to what effects
price controls can have on medicines and
medical care because there already are short-
ages of both in countries where a govern-
ment-controlled medical system includes
price controls.
The talking points about gun control are
as far removed from reality as the talking
points about rent control. But on this issue,
at least, the advocates cite some highly selec-
tive statistics to go along with their rhetoric.
Gun control advocates often point out
countries such as Britain that have stronger
gun control laws than ours and lower mur-
der rates. But they totally ignore countries
that have stronger gun control laws than
ours and higher murder rates.
One such country is right on our border
Mexico. But there are others farther away,
such as Brazil and Russia. There are also
countries with higher rates of gun ownership
than in the United States Switzerland and
Israel, for example that have much lower
murder rates than ours. But none of this has
the slightest effect on the talking points of
gun control zealots.
Those political talking points are a far cry from reality

COMMENTARY
T H O M A S S O W E L L
People get from books the
idea that if you have married
the right person you may
expect to go on being in
love forever. As a result,
when they find they are not,
they think this proves they
have made a mistake and are entitled to a
change not realizing that, when they have
changed, the glamour will presently go out of
the new love just as it went out of the old
one. In this department of life, as in every
other, thrills come at the beginning and do
not last ... but if you go through with it, the
dying away of the first thrill will be compen-
sated for by a quieter and more lasting kind
of interest.
C.S. Lewis
MY HUSBAND and I gathered with friends
recently to fete a couple celebrating their
20th wedding anniversary.
We toasted marriages enduring qualities
and staying power.
Later, I saw on Facebook that friends living
in Chicago were celebrating 15 years of wed-
ded bliss.
Then there was the send-off for another
friend, made all the more poignant because
her husband and young children will remain
behind. A bicoastal relationship with all of the
romantic challenges layered by the practical-
ities of getting kids to soccer practice. Mil-
itary families know the drill all too well.
In all of these instances, longevity and
commitment are worthy of a toast. New York
became the sixth state to legalize gay mar-
riage. Other states should follow. These
moves embrace marriage and run counter to
the many statistics telling us that we married
couples are part of a waning institution.
Marriage rates have been declining for
some time. Part of the problem is generation-
al. Rising divorce rates, which have only
plateaued in recent years, meant many of us
grew up in households marked by divorce.
We were expected to establish educations and
careers before marriage and families. So most
of us did.
Millenials, that group of 18- to 29-year-
olds, value parenthood far more than mar-
riage, according to a Pew Research Center
analysis. More than half believe being a good
parent is one of the most important things in
life, compared with slightly less than a third
who say the same about successful marriages.
There are notable exceptions. When my
friends who were celebrating their 20th anni-
versary saluted their parents combined mar-
ital total of more than 80 years, the room
erupted in applause. We are awed by such
connubial stamina because many of us aspire
to it.
Still, trends point to more people than not
taking to heart H.L. Menckens acerbic quip
about marrying best by marrying late.
Delays in marriage have been accompanied
by a corresponding increase in single women
having children. Just over half of all births
among the under-30 set in 2008 were to un-
wed mothers.
That jibes with young adults embrace of
single parenthood and dismissal as too tradi-
tional the premise that a child needs both
parents at home. Some traditions are worth
breaking, but not this one. Raising kids is
hard, even harder alone. I suspect the young-
er generations optimism about eschewing
marriage and raising children alone stem
from views on something about which they
know very little. More insightful views on
marriage might come by checking back in a
decade when Millenials are better acquaint-
ed with the twin responsibilities of career and
family.
After 13 years of marriage, Ive come to
believe it is a tradition one truly doesnt get
until its his or her turn.
Before then, were merely seeking to be the
generation doing it differently and better than
our parents did. Such nave optimism has
permeated generations since the first one.
In the end, we all turn to the enduring
power of committed relationships.
Longevity has its rewards.
Embracing marriage, both the long and the short of it

NHOMAGETOthe sum-
mer movie season, we of-
fer an editorial that re-
quires no heavy thinking,
scraps rigid conventions such
as continuity and, at times,
goes for the easy laugh.
Its theme (loosely tied, of
course): Jobs.
Horrible Bosses, a co-
medic spin on workplace des-
peration, opened in area mo-
vie theaters Friday, fueling, we
predict, an avid au-
dience turnout this
weekend and no
shortage on Mon-
day of water cooler
conversations.
Insensitive ad-
ministrators. Cruel
supervisors. Clue-
less managers.
Most everyone has
had an encounter
and harbors a story
to tell. (Uh, except,
of course, this edito-
rial writer, whose superiors al-
ways have been strictly of the
nurturing, knowledgeable
sort.)
If seeking tips for coping un-
der tyrants and clowns, con-
sult your favorite Internet
search engine for dealing
with bad bosses. Among the
resources: www.badbossolo-
gy.com. (This writer, of
course, has never had reason
to visit such a site. If he did,
however, he could point out
the availability of frustration-
venting discussion forums as
well as books including How
toWorkfor anIdiot: Survive &
Thrive Without Killing Your
Boss.)
The bluntly titled Horri-
ble Bosses arrives on the
American scene at a peculiar
time, as plenty of jobless peo-
ple wonder whether theyll ev-
er get back to work. A Labor
Department report released
Fridayshowedhiringat a near-
standstill last month, with a
national unemployment rate
of 9.2 percent. Certain job
seekers are pondering why
their applications generate no
interviews and, in the mean-
time, howtheyre going to pay
the bills. An of-
fice ogre, espe-
cially one with
Jennifer Anis-
tons attributes,
is the least of
their worries.
Job open-
ings, according
to news reports
last week, are
becoming more
plentiful in the
resurgent U.S.
automotive in-
dustry and in many industries
northof the border, inCanada.
Apparently, jobs also can be
easily obtainedwiththe city of
Wilkes-Barre, provided your
last name is Leighton.
During July, lots of over-
worked Americans frazzled
by their jobs and fearful they
might lose them contem-
plate whether they dare take a
summer vacation. Our advice:
Go. Gotothe mountains, goto
the beach or go to the movies.
But, definitely, go.

writer retains his job, he will

provocative pieces in a few
months closer to awards sea-
son. Until then, pass the pop-
corn.)

HE LONG DEBATE
over Sunday hunting
jumped up a level ear-
lier this summer
when the Pennsylvania Game
Commission endorsed remov-
al of the prohibition.
It wont be a done deal,
though, even if the General As-
sembly follows up by passing
House Bill 1760, which would
allow the commission to in-
clude Sundays when establish-
ing hunting seasons. The com-
mission still will have to get
broad public feedback before
enacting new regulations.
Perhaps its time for the
commission to look for a com-
promise. Theres no reason
Pennsylvanias Sunday hunt-
ing rules would need to be a
carbon copy of another states.
Here are some options:
Limit Sunday hunting to
certain areas of the state or to
the15 million acres of state ga-
melands, which, as hunters are
quick to point out, they pay to
maintain. That would leave
state forests and parks to hik-
ers, bikers, cross-country
skiers and horseback riders.
Increase enforcement of
game laws, perhaps through
higher fees. Of course there
would be an increased cost for
Sunday enforcement at the
outset, but more attentionalso
should be given to problem
hunters who unfairly give all
hunters a bad name.
Help private landowners
protect their properties, crops
andlivestockfromillegal hunt-
ing. The Game Commission
could have a fund to compen-
sate landowners who open
their land to hunting and then
suffer damages as a result.
Limit Sunday hunting to
only Pennsylvania residents.
Establish regular forums
at which hunters and non-hun-
ters can learn and appreciate
each others views.

HERE WE go
again. An
approaching
crisis. A loom-
ing deadline.
Nervous mar-
kets. And then,
from the mias-
ma of gridlock, rises our presi-
dent, calling upon those unruly
congressional children to quit
squabbling, stop kicking the can
down the road and get serious
about debt.
This from the man who:
Ignored the debt problem
for two years by kicking the can
to a commission.
Promptly ignored the com-
missions December 2010 report.
Delivered a State of the
Union address in January that
didnt even mention the word
debt until 35 minutes in.
Delivered in February a
budget so embarrassing it
actually increased the deficit
that the Democratic-controlled
Senate rejected it 97-0.
Took a budget mulligan
with his April 13 debt-plan
speech. Asked in Congress how
this new budget framework
would affect the actual federal
budget, Congressional Budget
Office Director Doug Elmendorf
replied with a devastating We
dont estimate speeches. You
cant assign numbers to air.
President Obama assailed the
lesser mortals who inhabit Con-
gress for not having seriously
dealt with a problem he had not
dealt with at all, then scolded
Congress for being even less
responsible than his own chil-
dren. They apparently get their
homework done on time.
My compliments. But the
Republican House did do its
homework. Its called a budget.
It passed the House on April 15.
The Democratic Senate has
produced no budget. Not just
this year, but for two years run-
ning. As for the schoolmaster-in-
chief, he produced two 2012
budget facsimiles: The first
(February) was a farce and the
second (April) was empty, dis-
missed by the CBO as nothing
but words untethered to real
numbers.
Obama has run disastrous
annual deficits of around $1.5
trillion while insisting for
months on a clean debt-ceiling
increase, i.e., with no budget
cuts at all. Yet suddenly he now
rises to champion major long-
term debt reduction, scorning
any suggestions of a short-term
debt-limit deal as can-kicking.
The flip-flop is transparently
political. A short-term deal
means another debt-ceiling fight
before Election Day, a debate
that would put Obama on the
defensive and distract from the
Mediscare campaign to which
the Democrats are clinging to
save them in 2012.
A clever strategy it is: Do
nothing (see above); invite the
Republicans to propose real debt
reduction first; and when they
do voting for the Ryan budget
and its now infamous and coura-
geous Medicare reform dema-
gogue them to death.
And then up the ante by de-
manding Republican agreement
to tax increases. So: First you get
the GOP to seize the lefts third
rail by daring to lay a finger on
entitlements. Then you demand
the GOP seize the rights third
rail by violating its no-tax
pledge. A full-spectrum electro-
cution. Brilliant.
And what have been Obamas
own debt-reduction ideas? In a
recent news conference, he
railed against the tax break for
corporate jet owners six times.
I did the math. If you collect
that tax for the next 5,000 years
that is not a typo it would
equal the new debt Obama
racked up last year alone. To put
it another way, if we had levied
this tax at the time of John the
Baptist and collected it every
year since first in shekels, then
in dollars we would have 500
years to go before we could
offset half of the debt added by
Obama last year alone.
Obamas other favorite debt-
reduction refrain is canceling an
oil-company tax break. Well, if
you collect that oil tax and the
corporate jet tax for the next 50
years you will not yet have
offset Obamas deficit spending
for February 2011.
After his Thursday meeting
with bipartisan Congressional
leadership, Obama adopted yet
another persona: Cynic-in-chief
became compromiser-in-chief.
Highly placed leaks are portray-
ing him as heroically prepared to
offer Social Security and Medi-
care cuts.
We shall see. Its no mystery
what is needed. First, entitle-
ment reform that changes the
inflation measure, introduces
means testing, then syncs the
(lower) Medicare eligibility age
with Social Securitys and in-
dexes them both to longevity.
And second, real tax reform,
both corporate and individual,
that eliminates myriad loopholes
in return for lower tax rates for
everyone.
Thats real debt reduction. Yet
even now, we dont know where
the president stands on any of
this. Until we do, Ill follow the
Elmendorf Rule: We dont esti-
mate leaks.
Lets see if Obama can sus-
pend his 2012 electioneering
long enough to keep the econo-
my from going over the debt
cliff.
Will Obama get real
about debt reduction?

ANOTHER VIEW
A photograph by S. John Wilkin
and words by Mark E. Jones
KIM Kardash-
ians butt is
real. Some
haters said it
was fake. To
prove them
wrong, she had
a doctor take
X-rays to show that it was im-
plant-free.
Odd as it sounds, when a
symbol of trumped-up celebrity
has a part of her anatomy au-
thenticated, its a perfect expres-
sion of Americanness. So, Im
adding Kim Kardashians butt to
the list of the things I celebrate.
Americans have a complicat-
ed relationship with authen-
ticity. We celebrate our national
ability to reinvent our lives, to
leave the past behind or get a
makeover, but we simultaneous-
ly bemoan the absence of an
authentic American culture.
Three years ago, Time maga-
zine decided we needed a guide
to finding authentic corners of
the US of A. Authenticity is
hard to come by in this coun-
try, Reed Tucker wrote. We
dont get it from our ... politic-
ians, we dont get it from our
lip-syncing pop stars. Or, he
went on to say, in the places we
choose to spend our vacations,
such as Disney World, Las Vegas
or Universal Studios.
In 2006, in a CBS.com article,
commentator Dick Meyer pined
for the genuine. We are sur-
rounded by phonies. And phoni-
ness, he complained. We shop
at malls that are designed to
look like real small town cen-
ters. ... Even bodies are artificial;
we have fake boobs, dyed hair,
Botoxed eyes and liposuctioned
thighs.
Meyer sees the flimflam fac-
tor as being painfully amplified
by a new-media surge. Hes not
wrong, but the syndrome isnt a
late-breaking phenomenon.
Temple University American
studies professor Miles Orvell
contends that the tension be-
tween the authentic and the
inauthentic is a primary cate-
gory in American civilization.
The hunger for authenticity, he
argues, is a reaction against our
constant striving for whats new
and improved.
This isnt an abstract process.
The social and technological
advances around the turn of the
20th century, Orvell writes, led
to the widespread middle-class
enthusiasm for imitation Coloni-
al furniture and architecture,
which offered a comforting
security in the face of rapid
change.
Nostalgia, then, is itself a
search for authenticity. Paradox-
ically, the past is generally taken
to be more real than the inau-
thentic present. But like it or
not, the new, the inauthentic,
is the price of progress, as well
as of freedom.
Author and New York Uni-
versity English professor Perry
Meisel argues that Americas
greatest virtue is that its
ground is invented and that it
doesnt derive its legitimacy
from notions of rootedness. In
the American context, the arti-
ficial is good the only good,
because it is a byproduct of our
belief in human possibility and
reinvention.
Maybe so, but that doesnt
stop us from feeling a need to
compensate for constant
change. These days, a lot of
authenticity-hungry Americans
turn to ethnic food joints, re-
claimed inner-city neighbor-
hoods, or organic food. Even a
place as artificial as Las Vegas
has tried to give itself a sheen of
authenticity. Several hotel-
casinos showcase paintings of
past masters to give their high-
culture stylings the feel of being
more than skin deep.
Keeping Up with the Kar-
dashians and Las Vegas have a
lot in common, not least a ve-
neer of reality covering a great
deal of artifice. And when Kim
Kardashian seeks expert ver-
ification that the most cele-
brated part of her body is God-
given, its a living, breathing,
sashaying reminder of the very
American tension between the
authentic and the fake.
America has a genuine fondness for the fake

Lemonade stand
a sweet success
I
am writing this on behalf of
my 7-year-old great-niece
Dynastie Lynn Thomas.
Dynastie will be entering
second grade at Heights Ele-
mentary School, Wilkes-Barre.
On June 25, the second
annual Dynasties Fresh-
Squeezed Lemonade Stand
and Bake Sale was held at
Schiels Family Market on
Hanover Street, Wilkes-Barre.
Dynastie manages the stand
with a little help from family
and friends. This fundraiser
benefits Davids Coffee Shop
and local autism programs.
It was her hope to raise one
dollar more than last year, and
much to her surprise the prof-
it has doubled.
On behalf of Dynastie, we
thank the following: Mr. Tom
Lovecchio, manager at
Schiels; Chris Schiel; Andrew,
Kyle, Lance and the employ-
ees and family at Schiels
Market.
Also, our thanks goes to Mr.
Mike Jagodinski, Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph, representing Davids
Coffee Shop, Miss Sue Mos-
es, Mommy Donna Hooker,
Grammy Lisa Thomas, Nana
Terry, Pop-Pops Tony and
T-Bird, Aunt Noreen, Uncle
Lovec, Uncle Tony, Uncle Jeff
and the many people who
purchased and donated items.
Without the assistance and
cooperation of all, Dynastie
wouldnt have done so well.
God bless you all and we hope
to see you next year.

Cancer Act gains
local co-sponsors
I
am the advocacy coor-
dinator of the Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre affiliate of the
Pancreatic Cancer Action
Network.
On June 14, three members
of our affiliate and I, along
with hundreds of others from
affiliates from around the
country, headed to Washing-
ton, D.C., to urge our congres-
sional representatives to co-
sponsor the Pancreatic Cancer
Research and Education Act.
This proposed law stipulates
that the National Cancer In-
stitute (NCI) develop a long-
term and comprehensive plan
for pancreatic cancer research
that will provide direction and
accountability for federal
research funds.
Meanwhile, everyone back
home was urged to take part
in a national call-in day. This
event gives constituents the
tools needed to call their
members of Congress so they
too can have their voices
heard on this important mat-
ter. As a result of the meetings
and calls done nationally, we
added 12 more senator co-
sponsorships and 59 more
representative co-sponsor-
ships.
As a result of all our efforts
locally, I am very honored and
proud to report that we have
two new co-sponsors: con-
gressmen Lou Barletta and
Tom Marino. I am equally
honored to report that the
Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre area
outperformed the entire coun-
try in the national call-in.
District 11 (Rep. Lou Barlet-
tas district) had the highest
number of calls of any district
in the country. District 10
(Rep. Tom Marinos district)
had the sixth highest number
of calls.
I thank the people of North-
eastern Pennsylvania for rais-
ing their voices and making a
difference. I thank U.S. Sen.
Bob Casey for leading the
fight, as he co-sponsored the
bill on Feb. 28. I want to thank
congressmen Barletta and
Marino for several things.
Thank you for taking the time
to meet with us. Thank you
for hearing your constituents
when they called. And most of
all thank you for taking a
stand by co-sponsoring the
Pancreatic Cancer Research
and Education Act.
The people of Northeastern
Pennsylvania should be proud
for showing the country how
its done. Its because of each
of you that I have hope.
Hope that we will get the
funding that we deserve. Hope
that the survival rate will rise
above the 6 percent it is now.
Hope that one day when
someone hears that they have
been diagnosed with pancreat-
ic cancer they know they have
options.

P E R S P E C T I V E S
FOR LEGIONS of
Harry Potter fans
worldwide, Fridays
opening of the film
Harry Potter and the
Deathly Hallows Part
2, will mark the close
of something very
special.
Since 1997, the wildly popular Potter
books and films have fired the imag-
inations of countless readers and movie-
goers both young and old. Over the
course of the seven books and eight
films, weve watched Harry grow up, and
millions of Harrys fans have grown up
with him. To these Potter kids, Harry
and his friends have been close compan-
ions, part of the very rhythm and fabric
of their childhoods.
In the early days of the books and
films, critics abounded. Some on the
religious right objected to the glorifica-
tion of witchcraft and magic. Critics on
the left complained of male bias and
pro-establishment values. Highbrow
literary critics chimed in with their usual
strictures against escapism and simplis-
tic good-vs.-evil thinking.
As the series developed, all these crit-
icisms were seen to be wide of the mark.
When the last book, Deathly Hallows,
was published in 2007, it became evident
that the meticulously plotted books were
the product of great literary craftsman-
ship and resounded with themes, both
traditionalist and modernist, that people
in all walks of life could applaud.
What are these themes? The four most
compelling, to me, are these.
All people deserve equal concern
and respect. The Potter books have been
aptly described as a 4,100-page treatise
on tolerance. At its most basic level, the
books are a morality tale about a wizard
civil war. On one side are Voldemorts
racial supremacists, who want wizards to
rule over non-magical humans (Mug-
gles) and pureblooded wizards to rule
over those of mixed ancestry. On the
other side are Harry, Dumbledore and
those who reject such supremacist views
and believe, instead, in the basic equality
and identical moral worth of all magical
and non-magical persons. Throughout
the books, author J.K. Rowling not only
preaches against, but also shows us the
terrible harms and scars that result from,
all forms of bigotry, intolerance and
exclusion.
Misfits rule! Like J.R.R. Tolkiens
Lord of the Rings, the Potter books
are a story about how ordinary people
can do extraordinary things. The good
guys who bring down Voldemort and his
seemingly invisible army of Death Eaters
are generally not rich or powerful or
socially connected. Most are margin-
alized or excluded others, including a
werewolf (Lupin), a half-giant (Hagrid), a
despised house-elf (Dobby), an impover-
ished redhead (Ron), a Muggle-born
brainiac (Hermione), and Harry himself,
a half-blood neglected orphan. Rowlings
point, again, is about respect and not
judging a book by its cover. Even the
humblest person can conceal surprising
strengths and unsuspected talents. Even
the littlest person can make a big differ-
ence for good.
Learn trust and acceptance. Harrys
world, like ours, is confusing and ambig-
uous. People are not always who they
seem to be, events can be interpreted in
multiple ways and many pieces of lifes
puzzle remain hidden. Throughout the
last two Potter books, Harry struggles
with issues of trust. In particular, he
discovers disturbing truths about Dum-
bledore that cause him to question his
honesty and motives. In the end, in an
existential leap of faith, Harry decides to
trust Dumbledore, accept the inevitabil-
ity of death and put his faith in the in-
tangibles of friendship, integrity and
sacrificial love. This letting go, this
decision to make a stand and trust with-
out proof, gives Harry the strength and
moral direction he needs to defeat the
Dark Lord.
Dont overlook the magic in our
world. Magic is real in Potters world, just
as it is in the two other great fantasy
series of our time, Tolkiens Lord of the
Rings and C.S. Lewis Chronicles of
Narnia. The common thread of magic in
these books is no accident. Rowling, like
Tolkien and Lewis, rejects scientific mate-
rialism. In the Potter books, Rowling
uses her literary artistry to make us feel
the absurdity of reducing love, goodness,
meaning, life itself, to mere collocations
of atoms.
For Rowling, as a Christian writer, ours
is a magical world. There is magic in the
beauty of a mountain lake, a mothers
love, a childs conception, the sacraments
of the church and the souls capacity to
survive death.
Yes, magic is real.
And later this week you might see
some in the eyes of a child at a theater
near you.
A lasting lesson from Harry Potter: Magic can be found all around us

I
once was out all night in
15-degree temperatures
when one of my dogs was
lost. I refused to give up and
go home without him, since to
do so would have been a death
sentence.
By comparison that no-good
Casey Anthony apparently
was too busy partying up a
storm to lift a finger to try and
find her own daughter.
That tells me all I need to
know about Casey Anthony.

River Common
needs your help
O
n June 29, a spirit of patri-
otism permeated Wilkes-
Barres River Common
amphitheatre as the U.S. Ar-
my Federal Brass Band per-
formed for more than 400
people.
The night was truly awe-
inspiring, with a first-class
performance at a first-class
venue: our River Common.
This free concert was made
possible thanks to a wonderful
partnership with Wyoming
Seminarys Performing Arts
Institute. Many thanks are due
to Nancy Sanderson, the in-
stitutes director, for bringing
the nations finest musicians
to downtown Wilkes-Barres
newly reinvented riverfront.
But, the more I think about
the recent Federal Brass con-
cert, the more I am inspired
by the larger changes that we
see downtown. Its hard to
believe that, less than two
years ago, there were no com-
munity events on the River
Common.
Now fast-forward to the
present, with the River Com-
mon hosting multiple events
each week. These programs,
ranging from yoga to concerts,
from outdoor movies to envi-
ronmental programming, are
all free and open to all ages.
This evolution is not sur-
prising. Ive seen firsthand the
hard work that many people
have put into this project, as a
vision for an accessible river-
front has been transformed
into an award-winning venue
comparable to any of the na-
tions top parks. Ive seen
private citizens and busi-
nesses collaborate to form an
organization, RiverCommon-
.org, which serves as the stew-
ard of the River Common.
And Ive seen the impact of
RiverCommon.orgs programs
on everyone from the young to
the young at heart.
With that said, whats most
amazing is not that the com-
pleted River Common has
been internationally recog-
nized or that we are now able
to attend such a wide range of
free events and festivals. No,
whats most amazing is that
all of RiverCommon.orgs
programming has been made
possible through the efforts of
private citizens and busi-
nesses.
Activities on the River Com-
mon occur solely because of
financial support from private
contributions and corporate
sponsorships not tax dollars.
The generosity of countless
individuals the Friends of
the River Common togeth-
er with sponsors such as
Wyoming Seminary, GUARD,
The Times Leader, the Citi-
zens Voice, Entercom Com-
munications, the Luzerne
County Visitors Bureau, Mo-
hegan Sun, PNC Bank and
WBRE-TV are helping to turn
our riverfront into a regional
destination.
Now its up to you, the read-
ers, to continue the momen-
tum. Although our events are
free to attend, they are not
free to produce, nor do they
run themselves. We need
additional private donations
and volunteers if we are to
continue to organize and pre-
sent programs at the River
Common.
I ask anyone interested in
learning more about the park
or how they can help to visit
www.rivercommon.org or
www.facebook.com/rivercom-
mon, or to call (570) 823-2101,
ext. 128.
The River Common is our
park, and the communitys
support will ensure its suc-
cess. Please join us at River-
Common.org and become a
part of our growing move-
ment.

Wilkes-Barre
Council candidate
outlines stance
T
his will be my political
platform as a Luzerne
County council candidate:
Everyone should make an
attempt to modify, transform,
enrich and reconstruct morals
and ethics in the American
political sphere. We should
respect the unborn and the
living.
One should acknowledge
God as the creator of all and
appeal to him for help in pro-
tecting all he graciously has
given us. With all these gifts
comes the right to use them
justly. Hence, all such rights
are the gifts of God as af-
firmed in our Declaration of
Independence. These include
the right to life and liberty.
We are to rule the world in
holiness and righteousness,
and pronounce judgment in
integrity of heart and soul.
Liberty includes the right to
use and claim as an individual
possession any unclaimed
thing received from the hand
of God. This right to any pos-
session includes its entire use,
that is, its exchange, control,
protection and entire disposi-
tion. And the first and greatest
of these possessions is our life.
Man is the only creature
made in Gods image and
likeness; all men have an equal
duty to love themselves and
others to honor that image of
the God they are commanded
to love. To obliterate that
image by unjustly taking a life
is the highest crime that one
may do to another. To take a
life justly is the most somber
obligation God ever imposes.
God created man with two
great dimensions, individual
and social. In so doing, he
gave us the right to associate
with each other, to take ad-
vantage of our rights and to
fulfill our duties.
God has imposed on men a
duty to associate in govern-
ments to put a justified fear
into the hearts of evildoers
yes, into the degenerate and
reprobate mind. These duties
are given for the good of all,
but not to deprive any of the
rights they are designed to
protect. Governments should
never commit the crimes they
are created to prevent!
The Constitutions willful
distortion has led to the vio-
lation of our Tenth Amend-
ment guaranteed right to
limited government, which
inevitably requires oppressive
taxation. Its faithful applica-
tion will lift that awful burden.
Freedom from liberalism.
Liberalism is corruption of the
heart and errors of the in-
tellect. Freed from the lawless
oppression of liberal rule, we
might then compassionately
and justly use our energy and
ingenuity to provide for our-
selves and our families. We
will then establish truly free
and responsible enterprise and
reassert the basic human right
to property.
The protection of life, and
the duties and rights of fam-
ilies. We believe in protecting
all human life however weak,
defenseless, or disheartened;
we endorse the family as the
essential bulwark of liberty,
compassion, responsibility
and industry; and declare the
familys right and responsib-
ility to nurture, discipline and
educate its children.
Marriage between a man
and a woman. We should
insist that marriage is be-
tween a man and a woman.
The republic established by
our Constitution is the great-
est of all pro-life institutions.
It protects our lives from the
impositions of foreign nations
and internal disorder. Our
Constitution in its Fifth
Amendment also forbids the
government to take life, or
liberty or property unjustly.
The Fourteenth Amendment
requires all states to apply all
the protections they provide
for life equally to all visitors or
citizens, and to all born or
unborn persons within the
territories governed by their
laws.
Jesus states, I have come to
give life and give life in abun-
dance (John 19:10).
God bless America. This is
my political platform.

Sunday hunting
a bad proposal
I
must respond to the argu-
ments brought up in Tom
Veneskys recent article (A
shot at a new day, July 3)
concerning Sunday hunting.
The Pennsylvania Game
Commission should never
have taken a stance on the
issue, as it is a political matter,
pure and simple. The whole
concept of the Game Commis-
sion is that it is an apolitical
agency responsible for over-
seeing the states wildlife for
all residents.
Contrary to what is implied
in the article and to what the
activists allude, hunting al-
ready is allowed on Sunday,
for coyote, fox and crows.
That other states allow
open hunting on Sunday is not
a reasonable argument. I ex-
pect better of mature adults in
positions of power than a
childish stance of but every-
one else is doing it.
Other states also allow
baiting, automatic weapons
and other tactics that are
prohibited here; should we go
ahead and suddenly allow
them because a minority of
hunters want them?
How do those other states
compare with Pennsylvania in
relation to landmass and hun-
ter population? Pennsylvania
is near the bottom of states in
area but is number two in the
number of licensed hunters.
We already have a growing
situation with non-hunting
outdoors enthusiasts and
urban/rural landowners hav-
ing negative encounters with
hunters.
The Game Commission
proclamation states that all
stakeholders will be listened
to before the agency takes any
action. The problem is that,
judging by the Game Commis-
sions history, the term stake-
holders applies only to hun-
ters.
If expanded hunting or
worse, open hunting is al-
lowed, how will the Game
Commission enforce the activ-
ity? Already the commission is
grossly understaffed as far as
wildlife conservation officers
in the field with each one
covering hundreds of square
miles over several counties.
Deputies are not an alterna-
tive, as they cannot perform
many of the essential duties of
a WCO.
The whole idea of expanded
hunting on Sunday in partic-

mer Defense Secretary Robert
Gates inApril 2009after a review
by the Pentagon, individual ser-
vices, American Gold Star Moth-
ers, Military Families Unitedand
veterans organizations.
Press coverage was allowed,
but only with the approval of the
individual family the same
policy in place for funerals at Ar-
lington National Cemetery.
At the same time, the military
agreed to pay the transportation
costs for families to and from
Dover.
Under the new policy, most
families (79 percent) choose to
beat Dover for thearrival of their
loved one. Before the policy
change, only about 5 percent of
families came. Out of all families
those who travel to Dover and
those who do not 57 percent
say the press should be allowed
to attend.
Theres never been any dis-
ruption; the media has been very
respectful, said Trevor Dean,
deputy director of Air Force mor-
tuary affairs operations.
The Verbeek family, fromVisa-
lia, Calif., agreed to allow jour-
nalists to witness the transfer
but declined to be interviewed.
Norma Luther, the recently
named president of American
Gold Star Mothers, said the
press is vital to let the nation
knowwhat is going on. Her son,
Army Capt. Glen Adams Jr., was
killed in a helicopter crash in
1988 in Germany.
Whether its a sailor, soldier,
airman or Marine, when they
come back, the country needs to
know the price that has been
paid for the freedoms we enjoy,
Luther said.
Early last year, the base
opened the Center for the Fam-
ilies of the Fallen, a facilitywhere
families can assemble while
awaiting the transfer.
Later in the year, a Fisher
House, one of more than50fund-
edbythefoundationbegunbyre-
al estate magnate and philan-
thropist Zachary Fisher, was
opened to provide free overnight
lodging.
Before family members are
taken to the flight line, chaplains
prepare them for what they will
see. In many cases, it has been
less than 24 hours since they
were notified of their family
members death.
Many are in shock and disbe-
lief, said Air Force Lt. Col. Den-
nis Saucier, the senior staff chap-
lain among six assigned to mor-
tuary duty. When they see the
flag-draped transfer case, the re-
ality of their loss really comes
home. Until that time, all theyve
experienced is what people have
told them.
Chaplains offer prayers.
Chairs are taken fromthe bus for
family members overcome by
emotion.
Theres been more than one
occasion when they just seemed
to melt into the ground on the
tarmac, said Lt. Cmdr. Charles
Rowley, a Navy chaplain who de-
ployed with Marines to Iraq and
has been at Dover for a year.
Under the rules approved by
Gates, no live television cover-
ageof atransfer is permitted. Tel-
evision reporters can go to the
maingate anddo their live shots,
but only taped footage is permit-
ted of a transfer.
For families whoagree, the Air
Forceposts animageof thetrans-
fer onits website. Families are of-
fered a DVD of the transfer proc-
ess.
From April 9, 2009, when the
press policy took effect, through
June 22, the night of President
Barack Obamas speech about a
drawdown of troops in Afghanis-
tan, the Dover base, the mili-
tarys largest air terminal, has
had 1,126 dignified transfers. Of
those, 4,850familymembers and
friends were in attendance.

gressional Republicans.
Voters are looking for their
problems to be solved. ... I dont
thinkyouhave tobe terriblyintui-
tive to figure that out, said John
Weaver, a Huntsman adviser.
President Obama promiseda dif-
ferent direction when he ran in
2008 and it hasnt happened. ...
Voters are fed up.
All three candidates have clear
and different motivations
for taking this tack, political ex-
perts say. For Huntsman and
Romney, all paths to the nomina-
tion hinge on New Hampshire.
There, independent voters, who
makeupawhopping42percent of
the electorate, can cast ballots in
the Republican primary.
Unlike Bachmann, both men
have indicated that they will not
focustheireffortsonIowaandwill
instead try to replicate 2008 Re-
publican nominee John McCains
strategy of using NewHampshire
as a springboard to the nomina-
tion. Steve Duprey, a former
McCainadviser andthestatesRe-
publican national committee-
man, notes that McCain cinched
the primary in 2008 by leading
among GOP voters and also win-
ning a huge margin boost
among independents.
With no Democratic race this
time, there are going to be a lot of
Democratic-leaning people who
will vote in the Republican presi-
dential primary, Duprey said. It
takes so fewvotes to win in a race
when there are eight or nine can-
didates, youcanfindenoughinde-
pendents who are of your philo-
sophical view to carry you over
the line.
For Bachmann, the imperative
now is to segue from cable televi-
sion bomb-thrower to serious
presidential possibility, convinc-
ing voters that she is measured
enoughtoleadthefreeworld, said
Cary Covington, a University of
Iowa political science professor.
Her message, he said: I can be
trusted to govern; Im not wild-
eyed and crazy.
In Waterloo, Bachmann noted
that she grew up as a Democrat
andvolunteeredfor JimmyCarter
before joining the GOP.
Our problems dont have an
identity of party; they are prob-
lems created by both parties,
Bachmann said. Americans
agree that our country is in peril
todayandwemust act withurgen-
cy to save it. And Americans
arent interested in affiliation;
they are interested in solutions,
and leadership that will tell the
truth.
Later, she tolda SouthCarolina
audience that she was the unify-
ing candidate and would bring
her reasonable fair-minded voice
to Washington, D.C., and actually
do big things. She contrasted
that approachwiththat of Obama,
who she said campaigned as a
post-partisan politician but
turnedout tobehighlypartisan.
ThoughBachmannisstill force-
fully criticizing the president, her
tone and word choice have mark-
edly shifted from her pre-cam-
paign comments, when she said
Obama and his wife, Michelle,
have very anti-American views,
and that the presidents signature
health care reform would lead to
gangster government.

of Maine roots, family andeven
similar businesses. One of his

We waxednostalgically about
the great Maine traditions of camp

We fell asleeptothe call of loons

It was a perfect week.
The moose knockedout a car

recalls seeinglong, gangly legs,
the mooses right eye parallel to

Noone was hurt, especially the
moose, whocontinuedondown

The swampedboat was

its occupants were unharmed.
We beachedthe sinkingboat

Selena Gomez performs on ABCs
Good Morning America in New York.
KING OF PRUSSIA Selena Gomez
flashed her string-of-pearls smile and
black-olive eyes as 3,000 fans gave her a
rock-star welcome recently at the King of
Prussia Mall.
ThesoundofSelenamaniawasanearsplit-
ting squawk, something like that of squad-
rons of overexcitedseagulls. Gomez, the re-
cording sensation, star of the Disney TVse-
ries TheWizards of WaverlyPlace andan-
chor of the Fox mistaken-identity comedy
MonteCarlo,wasbuoyedbytheshout-out.
With self-assurance and self-doubt in
dizzyingly equal proportions, Gomez, 18,
is walking the tightrope fromteen idol to-
ward mature stardom in 5-inch heels,
strugglingagainst theperceptionshesjust
a Disneygirl.
You can count on one hand the number
of child stars who have made it across. El-
izabethTaylor. NatalieWood. JodieFoster.
LeonardoDiCaprio. ChristianBale.
If fanlove alone were all it required, Go-
mezwouldbetherealready. Theadulation
helps her keep balance on the tightrope.
Workinginher favor is that the personshe
is in front of thousands of diehards is the
sameonesheis ina oneonone.
Weloveyou, Selena!shriekedErinDa-
ly, 12, who with friends Shannon Savage,
13, and Adelina Alvarez, 12, arrived at the
mall at 4 a.m. They patiently waited 14
hours to see the young star, whom Daly
calledmyrolemodel.

Girls relate to her, says Erin Siminoff,
vice president of production at Fox 2000,
producer of MonteCarlo. Theywant to
be her. She has an accessibility and a so-
phistication.

It doesnt feel good to be rejected, to
hear that directors want Mila Kunis, not a

Disney girl? The perception is of some-
body who probably overacts, probably has
nosincerity,probablythinksofactingasajob
rather than a skill, says the trouper, who

uggles, prepare yourselves: The
end of Harry Potter is near.
British author J.K. Rowling first introduced the
boy wizard to the world in 1997, and since then the
franchise has grown by leaps and bounds, spawning book spi-
noffs, endless merchandise, an amusement park in Orlando and
eight movies, the last of which will premiere at midnight Thurs-
day.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part Two, the eighth
and final installment, will
mark the beginning of the end,
and all over Northeastern
Pennsylvania the hoopla has
taken hold.
The guys of Scranton-based
band Eye on Attraction always
joked that they would do a
Wizard Rock side project and
finally decided it was time.
We produced an almost 20-
minute long, rock-opera-esque
piece called Magic is Might,
chroniclingthelifeof Gell-
ert Grindelwald,
drummer Andrew
Merkle, 20, said.
Grindelwald is a
supporting character
who played a major
part inthe back half of
the series. He was a
powerful dark wiz-
ard, second only to Lord Voldemort, the main an-
tagonist of the Potter world, and a friend of Albus
Dumbledore, headmaster of the school Potter
attends.
The storyline runs very deep, touching
upon Grindelwalds rise and fall frompower,
his relationship withDumbledore, the tragic
loss of Ariana (Dumbledores sister), all cul-
minating in the legendary duel between
Dumbledore and Grindelwald, Merkle said.
We round it out with Voldemorts final con-
versation with Grindelwald and, dare I say it,
leave it open to write another Wizard Rock EP
on the Deathly Hallows themselves.
Magic is Might will be part of the Wizard
Its been 14 years since the
first of the Harry Potter nov-
els arrived and 10 years since
the first movie adaptation hit
the big screen. Finally, on
Thursday, fans will get to wrap
a neat bow around all things
Potter with the eighth and final
movie installment of the fran-
chise.
With all this time elapsed,
the information concerning
Harrys world is vast enough
tojustifya recapof themajor
goings-on at Hogwarts in
preparation for the final
chapter.

EQUILA, MexicoIts saidthenational drinkof Mex-
ico has magical properties: It closes contracts and
opens doors, makes shy people bold and helps form
friendships. Totheuninitiated, thewrongtequilaconsumedin-
correctlyalsoopens medicine chests.
The first thing one learns on a tour of the heart of Mexicos
tequilacountryisthatnooneheredrinkstequilaasashooter
its better sipped froma brandy snifter or champagne glass so
that the full sweet andbuttery flavors andaromas of the agave
cancome through.
And the aficionado would never
drinkanythingother thanatequila
madefrom100percent agave. Any-
thing less, like the popular Jose
Cuervo Gold, is a mixto that by
lawonly has to contain 51 percent
of alcohol distilledfromagave. The
restcouldbeanyothersugaryplant
likethebeet, whichmakesit poten-
tiallyhangover-inducing.
Tequila consumption has in-
creased 45 percent in the U.S. over
the past five years. Its no wonder,
then, that thecountryis wakingup
tothetourismpowerof tequila, the
drink, andTequila, theplacethe
center of the farming region of the
prickly Weber blue agave plants
fromwhichthe spirit is distilled.
Tequilaislikewine, andthoseof
uswhogetintoitknowourfavorite
tequilasinthesamewaythatawine
lover would know why they like
certain wines, said Rachel Ni-
cholls-Bernyk, who travels here
from Fresno, Calif., at least once a
year. I enjoy learning something
new about the language and the
culture and the people, and of
course, makingtequila.
Theaffair margarita-lovingAmer-
icans are having with premium te-
quila has fueleda tourist boomhere
in the mountainous state of Jalisco,
where tequila was born centuries
agointhetownthat sharesitsname.
In this once-sleepy village hotels
are being remodeled, new bed and
breakfastsareopening, andthemain
drag is getting a cobblestone make-
over. In April a slick new OXXO,
Mexicos versionof 7-11, becamethe
first chain store to open in down-
town, a concession to the growing
number of tequila-loving tourists
who lack the adventure or language
skills to navigate the quaint market-
places and lively street food stands
that thrive in the shadowof the his-
toric stone cathedral in the city cen-
ter. Thetownexpectsanevenbigger
tourist influx in October, when the
PanAmericanGameswill beheldin
nearbyGuadalajara.
Thepopularityof premiumtequi-
las means increasingly varied travel
options. Almost all tequilas arefrom
inandaroundthestateof Jalisco. Te-
quilas from the less touristy high-
landsnearthetownsofArandasand
Atontonilco about 65 miles east of
Guadalajara are generally light and
sweet. El Tesoro, DonJulio, DonPi-
larandthehighlyregarded7Leguas
are amongthose fromthe region, as
well as market leader Patron. Of
these, only 7 Leguas and Don Pilar
have tours by appointment; the oth-
erscatertoindustryinsiders.Howev-
er, travel to these slightly more out-
of-the-way spots is now considered
somewhat risky without a guide be-
cause of violence fromdrug traffick-
ers. Evensomeof thedistilleryown-
ersstayaway.
But here in tequilas primary
namesake destination, the safe
ValledeTequila, everyonefromthe
tequilasnobtocollegestudentscan
find their place. Afavorite stop for
bothcrowdsisDonJavierscantina
La Capilla, home of his 50-year-old
invention, the Batanga, a mixture
of Coke, tequila, limejuiceandsalt.
Now well into his 90s, Don Javier
still spends time behindthe bar.
The town sits in the shadow of
the9,500-footVolcandeTequila, an
ancient volcano that gave the re-
gion its lava-rich soil. While there
Agave grows on a hillside. Agave takes fromsix to 12 years to ma-
ture before it is harvested and the spiny leaves removed for baking.
Pinas, the pineapple-looking center of an agave, arrive by the
truckload at Tequila 7 Leguas in Tequila, Mexico.
Agave juice ferments in wooden
vats at El Tesoro, where native
yeasts that waft into the open-
air room dictate each vintages
flavor in Arandas, Mexico.

The tour of Herradura Tequila includes a demonstration by a jimador, who uses a flat-bladed knife called a coa to remove the spiny
leaves from the center pina of an agave, which is baked until the starches inside turn to sugar in Tequila, Mexico.
MAGICAL TEQUILA
A backyard tequila maker fills a soda bottle with tequila for vis-
