By Ralph Burns;
Former acid reux sufferer
Heres My Story:
I've Suffered With Acid Reux
for Almost 40-Years Now. Unless
you experience it; you cant imagine
how horrible it is. Every time I ate
spicy food I would get what I called
"ROT GUT". Like something was
rotting in my stomach. But now I
can eat anything No matter how
spicy. Even if I never could before.
Let me explain
For the better part of my life; I
purposely avoided a lot of foods.
Especially ones with even a tiny bit
of seasoning. Because if I didn't,
Id experience a burning sensation
through my esophagus like some-
body poured hot lead or battery acid
down my throat. Add to that, those
disgusting "mini-throw ups" and I
was in "indigestion hell".
Doctors put me on all sorts of
antacid remedies. But nothing
worked. Or if they did, it would
only be for a brief period. And then
boom! My nightmare would return.
Sometimes, I felt like I was dying.
The pain was unbearable and noth-
ing could make it stop.
But then my wife, who occasion-
ally suffered with the same problem;
gave me one of her prescription acid
blockers. It was a miracle. I felt like
I could live again. Because before
that, I was just miserable. I want-
ed to kill myself. But thankfully, it
worked, and worked well.
I felt great, until about one year
ago; when I read an FDA warning
that scared the heck out of me. It
went something like this
FDA WARNING! Using proton
pump inhibitors (PPIs) on a long
term basis, increases your risk of
hip, bone and spinal fractures.
That's a particular concern to me,
since many acid blockers are PPI's.
I've gone through two back surgeries
and bilateral hip replacements. I had
to ask myself, could PPI's have been
responsible for my medical woes?
After all
I was between a rock and a hard
place. Stop using the PPIs and I'm a
dead man in the water. It would be
unbearable. I wouldn't be able to eat
anything. Id have to go on a water
diet.
But that FDA warning was scary.
I knew I had to stop or else risk de-
veloping spinal stenosis. My mother
had that. And I watched her die a
horrible death. Her spine just frac-
tured. It was the worst death. She
didn't deserve that. And neither do I.
I had to quit. So I stopped taking
PPI's for a day or so. But my
indigestion was worse than ever.
I would rather take the chance of
a spinal fracture than to live like
that again. I tried everything. Even
started using home remedies like
Apple cider vinegar. But it just felt
like I was pouring even more acid
down my throat.
Then one day at dinner, a friend
of mine said "why don't you try
an aloe drink?" I said "aloe drink"?
Jeez. That doesn't sound good at
all! The next day he brought me
a case of something called Aloe-
Cure. I was skeptical, but I was
desperate! So instead of being an
ingrate I decided to try it.
I was shocked! AloeCure. Tast-
ed pretty good too. It has a pleas-
ant grape avor that I actually enjoy
drinking. I decided to experiment. I
stopped taking the PPI's altogether
and replaced it with a daily diet
of AloeCure. Then something re-
markable happened NOTHING!
Not even the slightest hint of indi-
gestion.
And heres the best part. The
next day we had Italian food my
worst enemy. But for the rst time
in 40-years I didn't get indigestion
without relying on prescription or
OTC pills and tablets. Finally, I just
didnt need them anymore!
I was so thrilled; I wrote the
AloeCure company to tell them
how amazing their product is. They
thanked me, and asked me to tell my
story... the story that changed my
life. I said Sure, but only if you send
me a hefty supply of AloeCure. I
just can't live without it.
But don't believe me. You have
to try this stuff for yourself. I rec-
ommend AloeCure to anyone who
suffers with the same problem I did.
It gives you immediate relief. You'll
be grateful you did. I sure am. It's
the best thing that's happened to
me in a long, long time.
TRY IT 100% RISK-FREE!
The makers of AloeCure have

Every time I ate
something that didn't
agree with me Id get
what I called Rot Gut
like my stomach was

What was I gonna do?

be my demise.

the Susquehanna River.
Heasley was among the partici-
pants in the demonstration of the
firearms he was interested in sell-
ing, the criminal complaints say.
State police said Heasley fired
twoshots froma gunbefore troop-
ers converged on the group.
Six rifles and a crossbow were
foundinHeasleys vehicle, accord-
ing to the criminal complaints.
State police said the firearms
and crossbow were stolen during
the burglary in Noxen Township.
Heasley was visiting a friend in
Noxen Township and knocked on
a neighbors door but found no
one was home. He entered the
house through an unlocked door
and took the firearms and other
items, the criminal complaints
say.
Heasley allegedly told state po-
lice he arranged to sell the fire-
arms for $1,400 to a man he en-
countered in the area of Academy
Street and Carey Avenue.
State police at Wyoming
charged Heasley with six counts
of receiving stolen property after
the firearms were found in his ve-
hicle. He waived his right to a pre-
liminary hearing last week on
those charges, according to court
records.

We cant allow the American
people to become collateral
damage to Washingtons political
warfare.
President Barack Obama
In his prime-time address to the nation on Monday night, the president
pleaded for compromise regarding the nations debt crisis and urged
Americans to contact their lawmakers.
Dems urged to put plans
on paper for debt ceiling
I
f one is to believe the presidents warn-
ings of impending doom if the debt
ceiling isnt raised by Aug. 2, I have to
question the merits of putting any faith in
a plan by this vaunted Gang of Six
(which is comprised of three Democrats
and three Republicans).
As I write this, the House and Senate
Democrats, President Obama and this
Gang of Six have not produced a written
plan to handle the debt ceiling. All they
have done is complain a lot about the
Republican proposal and offer a bunch of
speeches.
Ladies and gentlemen, speeches cannot
be run through committee. Speeches can-
not be evaluated by the Congressional
Budget Office. Speeches cannot be voted
on by the House of Representatives or the
Senate.
If Washington politicians, from the Dem-
ocrats in the House and Senate to the
president and his Gang of Six, are seri-
ous about this deadline, they need to act
immediately to propose a bill and give
everyone time to read and digest it. If this
issue is as dire as the president suggests, I
can think of no valid excuse for them not
already having done so.
Absent a serious written proposal in the
alternative, U.S. Sen. Bob Casey should
eat his peas and adopt the work of Con-
gressmen Lou Barletta, Tom Marino and
the other members of the bipartisan Gang
of 234 that actually proposed and passed
a plan days ago.

HERE WE go again.
The debt ceiling debacle that is unfolding
in Washington is not about ideology and its
not even about putting the nations fiscal
house in order. Its not even really about the
American people. This is about appeasing
just one group of people: the people on Wall
Street. And before this is over, watch out for
a Wall Street panic, which ultimately breaks
the deadlock.
So far, the Street, frankly, has been largely
asleep at the switch. Even as the economy
has continued to falter its been more than
happy to keep the gears of commerce
greased with plenty of government money.
After TARP there came quantitative easing.
After quantitative easing came QE2. That
money has bolstered not just the bond mar-
kets, and lined the pockets of Goldman
Sachs, but bolstered the equity markets.
And so the Street has thought: Hey, those
guys down in Washington will make a deal,
eventually. And a deal means predictability;
and thats what investors, correctly, want.
They want to know which corporate loop-
holes are opened or closed. And yes, they
want to know if those Bush-era tax cuts are
going to be there when that big year-end
bonus comes in. And like any bunch of bank-
ers, the Streets got nothing against a bigger
national debt as long as theres a nice fat
schedule to pay it down.
And both parties have been vying for the
Streets favor. The Republicans on the tax
side and the Democrats, now, on the spend-
ing side. And heres why: If President Obama
can force a deal on his terms that Wall Street
is OK with, the stock market could go
through the roof, people could get jobs and
hes going to get a second term. If the con-
gressional Republicans can get the Street
what it wants, then they can curry favor with
people who have been traditionally Demo-
cratic donors, and capture Congress. And
nobody in this equation could care less
about the Republicans running for president.
But the Republicans have one big prob-
lem: the tea party. The tea partys freshmen
Republicans have held the line and insisted
on cutting spending, even if that means not
raising the debt ceiling above the current
$14.3 trillion, even if it means defaulting on
the debt. Theyve aligned themselves, too,
with keeping the Bush-era tax cuts. And
theres the rub, the contradiction.
So, Wall Street is going to have to choose
between those great big bonuses and de-
fault. And thats why Senate Minority Leader
Mitch McConnell lost his nerve and House
Speaker John Boehner scheduled utterly
symbolic, meaningless votes on things such
as a constitutional amendment that are
going absolutely nowhere. So the freshmen
can cover their behinds at home and then
they can get on with voting to raising the
debt anyway. Its why Boehner breaks off
talks and then rushes back into them, so
Wall Street doesnt go into cardiac arrest for
a lack of both predictability and liquidity.
But its likely going to get ugly before that
happens. The tea party isnt getting the
message: Washington works for Wall Street.
The stock markets are really going to
drop, is my guess, and put the pressure on
til Mitch McConnell feels like his eyeballs
are going to pop out of his head. So, unless
Obama folds, Wall Street is going to have to
choose between those sweet bonus checks
and a certain amount of liquidity and pre-
dictability and, oh yeah, having their cli-
ents start to hire some people. Right now,
outside the Beltway and Manhattan, there
are just two kinds of Americans: those who
cant find jobs and those who think theyre
next.
But make no mistake: Unless Obama
crumples up, that queasy feeling youre
about to get as the market slides and real
peoples savings and jobs are put on the line
again is real. It has, after all, happened be-
fore. In 2008, when the financial system ran
out of liquidity, the stock market slid out of
control for days when the House first shot
down TARP. Ultimately $10 trillion in
wealth was destroyed. Its happening in
Europe because of Greece. And thats what
happens when the masters of the universe
and their minions in Washington play God.
So, buckle up, folks, because here we go
again.

T
HE WORDstillborn
expresses the com-
plete tragedy in two
syllables. A baby is
born, but for whatever reasonit
does not breathe. In Pennsylva-
nia, the parents are left with
their grief but no official birth
record. That is about tochange,
thanks to a new law.
Senate Bill 326 will require
the state Health Department,
whichpreviouslycouldprovide
only a fetal death certificate, to
issue a birth certificate of sorts
upon request of a parent. This
certificate of birth resulting in
stillbirth will include the
name of the stillborn child and
other details of the delivery.
As the politics of abortion
can confound any legislation
dealing with births, this mea-
sure could have been problem-
atic, but compassion trumped
controversy. Mothers who gave
birth to stillborn babies urged
lawmakers to pass it. Planned
Parenthood of Pennsylvania
did not oppose it.

ERTAINBACKMoun-
tain residents in Lu-
zerne County oppose
the construction of a
natural gas metering station
near the Dallas schools, fearing
for the safety of students and
others who frequent the cam-
pus.
Though the actual risk of ex-
plosion or other catastrophe is
minimal, perhaps even infini-
tesimal, can you blame people
in Northeastern Pennsylvania
for being skeptical of what the
natural gas industrys spokespe-
ople say? In general,
their track record for
full disclosure and
sincerity since the
Marcellus Shale phe-
nomenonbeganafew
years ago is more
reminiscent of Pinoc-
chio than St. Paul.
The industryand
its cronies initially
implored state offi-
cials not to enact a
severance tax, saying it would
cause the boom to falter be-
cause drillers would flee to oth-
er, more business-friendly
states. Theimplicationwas that
financially fragile drilling firms
simply couldnt make a go of it
in Penns Woods without gener-
ous breaks.
Turns out, the companies op-
erating here will save beaucoup
bucks in transportation costs
because these wells, as opposed
tothoseintheGulf Coast, areso
close to the gargantuan energy
market: East Coast cities such
as Philadelphia and New York.
Oh, and among those compa-
nies that have risked billions
of dollars in Marcellus explora-
tion: Royal Dutch Shell, Exxon
Mobil Corp. andChevronCorp.
Mom-and-pop setups theyre
not.
The industry and its cro-
nies billed natural gas as an all-
American fuel, helping the na-
tion rocket down the road to-
ward energy independence.
Turns out, other nations, in-
cluding China, are investing
heavily in certain natural gas
companies involved in the Mar-
cellus Shale, reportedly making
plans to liquefy the coveted fuel
and ship more of it overseas.
The industry and its cro-
nies touted its expansion into
the Marcellus Shale as a boon
for Pennsylvania because it
would create jobs for state resi-
dents.
Turns out, in at least one in-
stance so far, jobs
appear to have
been filled by ille-
gal immigrants.
Last week, a feder-
al grand jury in
Scranton indicted
nine alleged illegal
immigrants, pur-
portedly from
Mexico, who had
been working near
Williamsport for a
subcontractor with the natural
gas industry.
These revelations follow the
industrys less-than-respectable
entry into the state. Remember
howlandspeculators andrepre-
sentatives from some gas com-
panies swooped into communi-
ties and convinced landowners
tosignlowball leases? As lowas
$2 an acre. In polite company,
thats called swindling.
Against that backdrop, is it
any wonder today that a couple
companies trying to extend
pipelines into the Back Moun-
tain and complete a rather stan-
dard project would raise the
publics suspicion? Or that ex-
perts safety assurances would
be met with distrust?
The industry and its mouth-
pieces have been sending a
mixed message in which their
lofty words fail to match their
lowdown deeds. It hasnt gone
unnoticed.

VIDEO:
WILKES-BARRE The city
once again is asking the Wilkes-
Barre Area School District to for-
give about $440,000 in back taxes
on the Old River Road Bakery
property.
The back taxes have prevented
the city from obtaining a clear ti-
tle needed to sell the property to
Leo Glodzik.
Nowthecityfaces amorepress-
ing possibility that it may lose
the property altogether in a back-
tax sale.
Northeast Revenue Service
LLC, which operates Luzerne
Countys taxclaimoffice, has filed
court paperwork asking a county
judge to lift a stay that kept the
property out of a September 2010
back-tax sale.
A hearing on the matter had
beenscheduledthis weekbut was
continueduntil Aug. 9at thecitys
request.
Attorney John Rodgers, presi-
dent of Northeast Revenue, said
he filed the paperwork as part of
the companys mission to stop
properties that areeligiblefor sale
from falling through the cracks.
I filedapetitiontoput
it back on sale because
nothing has happened
since the city got its stay.
We cant let it sit there,
Rodgers said.
If the taxes are not for-
given or paid by the city,
the property should be
listed in a Sept. 22 upset
sale, he said.
Upset sales are for
properties that have not
yet been listed at a previ-
ous back-tax sale. Buyers
of these properties must
pay off all back taxes and
government liens and
might be responsible for
other non-government
liens or debts tied to the
properties.
Properties that dont sell at up-
set are then listed at free-and-
clear sales, where liens and back
taxes are forgiven. Bidding typi-
cally starts around $800 or less at
this stage because buyers are re-
quiredto pay only what it cost the
county for legal and advertising
fees.
The total taxes owed on the
property are $446,825, the court
filing says. Asmall portion of that
is owedtothecountyfor 2006and
2007, though a breakdown was
not immediately available Tues-
day. County commissioners had
voted in 2006 to forgive back tax-
es to that point, which
means the city may also
have to seek additional
forgiveness from the
county.
City officials had
asked the Wilkes-Barre
AreaSchool Boardtofor-
givethetaxes inSeptem-
ber 2010, but the board
declined. Boardmember
James Fisher said at the
time that the board was
uncomfortable with
granting the request.
School Board Assist-
ant Solicitor Raymond
Wendolowski said Tues-
day that city officials in-
dicatedtheywouldbere-
aching out to the board
to discuss future plans
for the property.
Mayor Tom Leighton said
Tuesday that hes optimistic the
school district will grant the re-
quest, thoughhedidnot knowif it
would be decided at the boards
Aug. 3 meeting.
Were working with the school
district to rectify the problemand
get the property back on the tax
rolls, Leighton said.
The city couldnt come up with
$440,000-plus Leighton said, not-
ing that the taxes owed to the
school district date back to the
mid-1990s.
First National Community
Bank in Dunmore conveyed the
property to the city for $1in April
2008. The bank had obtained title
to the property after Old River
Road Bakery Inc. had defaulted
on its mortgage.
The Old River Road Bakery be-
came a local landmark after its
opening in 1950 but closed in Ja-
nuary 1999 after a steady loss of
customers to supermarket rivals.
Leightons agreement to sell
the property to Glodzik, owner of
LAG Towing, the citys towing
contractor, has been criticized be-
cause the purchase opportunity
was not publicly advertised.

Leightons campaign committee
since 2005. Leighton has said in
the past that political donations
have no bearing on city business.
Leighton has said that other
buyers expressed an interest in
the property, but none were will-
ing to pay close to the $38,000 of-
fered by Glodzik. The mayor said
hes eager to execute the sale be-
cause the roof on the rear portion
of the property is going to col-
lapse.

Wilkes-Barre wants to sell the former Old River Road Bakery building to Leo Glodzik. But a tax sale
threatens to complicate the plan. The bakery closed in 1999.
The city fears losing the
vacant building, which it
hopes to sell, in back-tax sale.

taxes, county officials say.
Contacted on his cell phone,
Keller blamed the economy for
his inability to get current on
his taxes.
The market crashed, and its
getting harder and harder to
sell, he said. Theres not much
you can do.
Keller also shouldered some
responsibility, saying he was too
hasty in grabbing some parcels
that needed extensive repairs to
make them marketable.
Some that I bought, it was a
mistake, he said. Now the tax-
es are worth as much as some
of these homes.
Keller said he hadnt planned
to get into the rental business
but had to in some cases
when he couldnt sell the prop-
erties.
He doesnt know if he will bid
again in the future.
The county doesnt ban me
altogether, just while I have
back taxes owed, he said. I
may get back into it again.
Keller paid a combined
$39,310 at tax sales in 2007 and
2008 to acquire the 10 proper-
ties that are up for grabs on
Aug. 10, according to a review
of property deeds and assess-
ment records.
If the county assessments of
these 10 properties are any in-
dicator, Keller got a good deal.
The properties have a combined
assessment of $334,000 for taxa-
tion purposes.
The parcels are a vacant 0.62-
acre lot on Indian Lake Trail in
Bear Creek Township and
homes all on lots less than a
quarter-acre in Wilkes-Barre,
Pittston Township, Plymouth,
Newport Township and Avoca,
property records show.
Keller paid $157,035 at tax
sales to buy the other 10 proper-
ties that have not yet gone to
auction. The combined assess-
ment of this group: $792,600.
While acknowledging theres
money to be made, Keller said
during a 2006 interview that tax
sale purchases are a huge risk
because litigation is sometimes
required to clean up unforeseen
liens and get a clean title to a
property.
Starting bids for Kellers 10
properties will range from $750
to $878 on Aug. 10.
Bidding typically starts
around this amount because
buyers are required to pay only
what it costs the county for le-
gal and advertising fees related
to the sale.
Properties listed in this judi-
cial, or free and clear sale, did
not sell at previous back-tax
auctions. High bidding interest
is expected because these prop-
erties will now be free of taxes,
liens and mortgages.
Property owners may get the
properties removed from the
sale if they pay the back taxes
before the sale. Properties go to
auction if taxes have gone un-
paid for two years.

The Aug. 10 sale starts at 10 a.m. in
the county courthouse in Wilkes-
Barre.
Bidders must complete paperwork
in advance certifying that they
have no delinquent property taxes
or municipal utility bills within the
county. Prospective bidders must
also verify that they have not had
a landlord license revoked in the
county and are not acting as an
agent for someone with a revoked
license.
Information on bidding is available

Id hate to see that happen, she said.
Thebiggest thingis youdloseyour iden-
tity. All the little towns are no longer rec-
ognized.
Judy McHenry, the postmaster at the
Cambra Post Office on the Old Tioga
Turnpike, saidshe has one of the smallest
post offices around, with only 35 boxes.
But she said her sales of postage and sup-
plies are at a level the postal service has
requested and the customers enjoy the
convenience of a local post office.
It would be a shame to see it go, said
McHenry, whonotedthevillagehas hada
post office since1822 when the town was
called Columbus. She is the towns 26th
postmaster and hopes she wont be the
last.
I guess well have to sit and wait, she
said.

Ongoing review
Daiutolosaidthat beingonthelist does
not guarantee that a branchwill close. Its
just part of theongoingeffortsbythepost-
al service to evaluate ways to modernize
its business model and cut costs.
Amongtheoptions beingdiscussedare
Village Post Offices.
These would be operated by local busi-
nesses, such as pharmacies, grocery
stores and other appropriate retailers,
and would offer postal products and ser-
vices such as stamps and flat-rate packag-
ing.
Today, more than 35 percent of the
Postal Services retail revenue comes
from expanded access locations such as
grocery stores, drug stores, office supply
stores, retail chains, self-service kiosks,
ATMs and usps.com, open 24-7, said
Postmaster General PatrickDonahoe ina
news release.
The issue of downsizing post offices
has been ongoing over the past decade as
customer habits have changed. More
communication is done via the Internet
and there is increased competition from
UPS and FedEx.
And many grocery stores have begun
selling stamps, meaning the trip to the
post office to buy postage is not as impor-
tant as it once was.
The agency has almost 32,000 retail of-
fices across the nation, the largest retail
network in the country.
The retail-replacement option could fit
the bill of keeping customers served
while also saving money. By working
with third-party retailers, were creating
easier, more convenient access to our
products and services when and where
our customers want them, Donahoe
said. TheVillagePost Officewill offer an-
other way for us to meet our customers
needs.
Home delivery
The customers of the two Black Creek
Township-based post offices would begin
getting home delivery if their post offices
close. That means the loss of their small
townaddresses anda change toanout-of-
county mailing address.
Like some neighbors whocurrentlyget
home delivery, they would likely get a
Bloomsburg zip code.
The Beach Haven customers who
might losetheir P.O. boxes wouldalsoget
home delivery and could get a Berwick
zipcode like many neighbors. Andfor the
35 Cambra P.O. Box holders, they would
choose between Stillwater and Benton
zip codes.
Bloomsburg, Berwick, Benton and
Stillwater are all in Columbia County.
Its confusing, said Adams. She said
that telling people she lives in Blooms-
burg seems silly when she really lives in
Rock Glen, on the very street the post of-
fice sits.
Adams saida fewyears ago the Weston
post office was onthe chopping block but
apetitiondriveandthesupport of elected
officials helped stave off its demise. She
said something similar might have to be
organized this time around, too.
Im sure the customers who use that
post office would hate to see it go,
Adams said.

The free agency free-
for-all has begun, mostly
with obscure names from
the college ranks.
It will get wilder.
Contract negotia-
tions for free agents
and draft picks start-
ed Tuesday, with
draftees able to
sign right away.
The big names
among veterans
Nnamdi Aso-
mugha, Santo-
nio Holmes, Matt Hasselbeck cant
sign until Thursday, but their agents are
negotiating deals right now.
Throwin dozens of players who will be
cut, such as Dallas receiver Roy Williams
and Baltimore tight end Todd Heap,
which officially cant happen until Thurs-
day, and its organized chaos, according
to Colts general manager Chris Polian.
Its a lot of stress, work, preparation.
But its what we all look forward to. Its
our playoffs and our Super Bowl, agent
Peter Schaffer said.
Indeed, several agents said they didnt
expect to sleep Tuesday as the NFL reo-
penedfor business after 4
1
2 months. Inad-
dition to their clients already in the
league who are unrestricted or restricted
free agents, they will have veterans re-
leased. And they are trying to set up
youngsters, suchas college starters safety
WinstonVenableof BoiseState(Chicago)
and quarterback Jerrod Johnson of Texas
A&M (Philadelphia), with teams after
they were passed over in Aprils draft.
I always have a lot of guys in that cate-
gory, and its been absolutely nuts, said

Chiefs and Cal receiver Jeremy Ross with

If Johnnie
Walker lived in
China, the po-
lice would have
knocked on his
door by now:
You, come
with us.
Because Walker bad-mouths
the Olympic Games. Publicly,
vocally. To park buses and other
vehicles a year from now, orga-
nizers of London 2012 have
requisitioned a dozen of his best
soccer pitches from the amateur
league that Walker runs. The
chirpy Londoner is, in local
parlance, mightily cheesed off
about that.
Were being pushed aside for
three weeks of elitist sport,
says Walker, chairman of the
Hackney and Leyton Sunday
Football League, founded in
1947.
The vast and boxy new Olym-
pic media center to host journal-
ists next summer, which Walker
can see from his East London
home, is also bloody awful, he
said.
Ive seen better buildings
pulled down.
Sssshhh! Youll get into trou-
ble!
Thats what we might have
said to someone such as Walker
in Beijing in 2008. Had we ac-
tually seen and heard them, that
is. Vocal complainers, impas-
sioned protesters, critical and
searching public debate about
the pros and cons of an Olym-
pics were largely notable by
their absence in China.
The Olympic movement was
poorer for it.
There was the brave soul I
saw being marched away after
he distributed leaflets outside
Beijings Olympic park that
complained about games con-
struction.
There were the labor camp
grannies, Wu Dianyuan and her
neighbor Wang Xiuying, ladies
in their 70s who were threat-
ened with prison after they
showed that government prom-
ises were hollow and cynical.
Having said they would allow
protests in designated zones
during the Olympics, Chinese
authorities refused all those
who applied. The elderly wom-
en called the governments bluff,
repeatedly trying for a permit,
and were instead told theyd be
sent to a labor camp for one
year.
After the Olympics, Wu and
Wangs sentence was revoked,
but the list of people who were
locked up or otherwise made to
shut up was still too long for the
games to leave a sweet taste,
despite the feats of Usain Bolt,
Michael Phelps and other cham-
pions.
The London Olympics a year
from now wont match Beijing
for grandeur. Penny-pinching
Britain doesnt have the money-
no-object resources that Com-
munist leaders marshaled, with
minimal public scrutiny, to
dress China in the best possible
light for its Olympic coming-out
ball.
Londons Olympic venues
wont be as iconic as Beijings
Birds Nest stadium or its Water
Cube where Phelps struck gold
eight times. The terrorism risk
in London could be higher. The
citys groaning public transport
system may not run as smooth-
ly. The food wont be as good.
But these will still be better
Olympics in some ways, they
already are because London
has the key ingredient that
Beijing sorely lacked to host
truly soul-searing games: free-
dom.
To feel comfortable, an en-
terprise as expensive, as huge
and as disruptive as an Olym-
pics should always be subject to
the highest possible degrees of

OLD FORGE The wait was much long-
er than anticipated, but well worth it for the
Back Mountain American all-stars on Tues-
day night.
After a long rain delay, American cap-
turedthe Section510-11Little League Base-
ball championship with a 7-6 victory over
Mountain Top in eight innings at the Old
Forge Little League.
For the second time in two games, Josh
Holdredge delivered the walk-off, game-
winning hit. It wasnt as dramatic as his
homer that securedAmericans 6-5winover
Mountain Top on Sunday,
but just as effective.
Holdredge grounded a
one-out single up the mid-
dle to score Jared Schuster
from third, sending Amer-
ican to the state playoffs
this weekend in Latrobe.
It was the third time in the tournament
that an American vs. Mountain Top game
was decided by one run.
And it appeared in the seventh Mountain
Top might be the teamgoing home withthe
victory. It loadedthe bases withnoouts, but
relief pitcher Schuster worked out of the
jam. American cut one runner down at the
plate before Schuster recorded a strikeout
and fielded a comebacker for the third out.
Bases loadedinthe seventhwithnobody
out, American manager Steve Mathers
said. That showed the resilience in the
boys that we didnt allow one in there.
For awhile Tuesday, it appeared the game
would be rained out for a second consecu-
tive day. Twoheavy rainstorms, one prior to
the scheduled 5:30 p.m. start time and an-
other about 6p.m., pushedthegamebackto

BUFFALO, N.Y. Since mak-
ing his Triple-A debut in May,
Austin Krum hasnt had too
many chances to be a hero for
the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yan-
kees. He found the right time to
take advantage of an opportunity
on Tuesday night, and it led to
another lopsided win.
Krum broke a 2-2 tie in the
fourth inning
with an RBI sin-
gle, then made a
diving airborne
catch in the bot-
tom half of the
inning as the
Yankees pum-
meled the Buffa-
lo Bisons 11-2 in
the first game of
a four-game se-
ries at Coca-Co-
la Field.
After Krums
clutch plays,
Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre
posted consecu-
tive four-run in-
nings. The outburst came the
night after the Yankees largest
win of the year, a 15-1 victory
over Syracuse.
It marked the second time this
season that the club posted a
double-digit score in consecutive
games. Back on June 23 and 24,
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre won 10-5
against Norfolk and 14-3 at Dur-
ham.
Weve been swinging it much
better, said Yankees manager
Dave Miley, whose club won its
fourth straight. Were getting
good at-bats and taking good ap-
proaches.
In the fourth inning, Krum
came to the plate in a tie game
with Jordan Parraz at second.
Krum delivered a sharp single to
center field, went to second on
the throw home, and scampered
to third when that throw
bounced beyond Buffalo catcher
Mike Nickeas.
Though he didnt score after
that, Krum was far from fin-
ished.
His diving grab off the bat of
Luis Hernandez to lead off the
Buffalo half of the frame generat-
ed more momentum. That in-
ning then ended when center
fielder Greg Golson started a re-
lay to retire Nickeas at the pate.
Those are the game-chang-
ers, said Krum, who was 1-of-3
with two walks. Sometimes it
kind of explodes like it did. (I
was hoping) that gave us some

BOXING REPORT: In the WBC welterweight title fight on September 17 in Las
Vegas, Nevada, Floyd Mayweather Jr. is -$700 vs. Victor Ortiz at +$500; in the
WBO welterweight title fight on November 12 in Las Vegas, Nevada, Manny Pac-
quiao is -$800 vs. Juan Manuel Marquez +$550.
Many two-year old pacers have come and gone the last several
weeks at Pocono Downs, and one of the most impressive maiden
breakers to date makes his second career start this evening. That
colts name is Bolt The Duer! Two weeks ago the son of Ponder was
just breath taking in his debut. Leaving frompost eight the Peter Fo-
ley trained pupil gunned early off the gate for the pocket, just past the
quarter-pole he decided its time to flash his talents. Driver Mike Si-
mons tookthe leadwithBolt The Duer headingtowards the half-mile
marker nd never looked back, jogging as a much the best winner in
1:54.1. I think that there certainly was more left in the tank and hes
ready to flash his speed once again in a very good non-winners of two
opening race.

M A J O R L E A G U E R O U N D U P
NEW YORK The Seattle
Mariners flailed away help-
lessly against CC Sabathia in
their 17th straight loss, manag-
ing only one hit and striking
out 18 times overall in a 4-1
loss to the New York Yankees
on a rain-soaked Tuesday
night.
Sabathia did not allow a
baserunner until Brendan
Ryan singled with one out in
the seventh inning a batter
after a 30 minute rain delay
in beating Seattle for the sev-
enth consecutive start. He
struck out 14 of the 25 batters
he faced, seven in a row at one
point.
The Mariners are four shy of
matching the Baltimore
Orioles American League-
record 21-game losing streak
to start the 1988 season. The
1961 Phillies dropped 23
straight for the modern major
league mark.
Angels 2, Indians 1
CLEVELAND Jered
Weaver earned his eighth
straight win as Mark Trumbo
doubled home two runs and
the Los Angeles Angels defeat-
ed the Cleveland Indians.
Weaver (14-4) gave up one
run over seven innings a
home run by Matt LaPorta in
the seventh and lowered his
ERA to 1.79, best in the ma-
jors. In going 8-0 in 12 starts
since May 23, he has a 1.27
ERA over 92 1-3 innings.
Scott Downs worked the
eighth for the Angels. Jordan
Walden, who blew the save
Monday night when Cleveland
scored twice in the ninth to
win 3-2, earned his 24th save
in 31 chances.
Cleveland loaded the bases
with no outs. Walden then got
LaPorta to ground into a
home-to-first double play.
Jason Kipnis, whose first ca-
reer hit won Mondays game,
then struck out.
Orioles 12, Blue Jays 4
TORONTO J.J. Hardy
homered twice, Derrek Lee
and Nolan Reimold also con-
nected and the Baltimore
Orioles beat the Toronto Blue
Jays.
It was the first multihomer
game of the season for Hardy
and the fifth of his career. He
went 2 for 5 with four RBIs.
Lee went 4 for 5 with five
RBIs. Baltimore finished with
16 hits, with every member of
the starting lineup collecting
at least one.
Red Sox 13, Royals 9
BOSTON David Ortiz
had four hits and five RBIs,
and Dustin Pedroia had four of
Bostons 16 hits to lead the
Red Sox to a victory over the
Kansas City Royals, their 18th
win in 22 games.
Hours after the teams took a
1-1 pitchers duel into the 14th
inning and finished up at 1:59
a.m., they combined for 31 hits
and 22 runs against nine pitch-
ers including Royals out-
fielder Mitch Maier, who
threw a scoreless inning.
Alfredo Aceves (6-1) threw 3
1-3 scoreless innings in relief
to improve to 20-2 in his ca-
reer.

PHILADELPHIA Rookie
right-hander Vance Worley
threw a three-hitter and Chase
Utley hit an inside-the-park
homer to lead the Philadel-
phia Phillies to a 7-2 victory
over the San Francisco Giants
on Tuesday night in a match-
up of the NLs top teams.
Worley (7-1) had five strike-
outs and one walk, and has
allowed two earned runs or
less in 11 of his 13 career
starts. It was Worleys fifth
straight win.
Ryan Howard, John May-
berry Jr. and Raul Ibanez also
homered for the Phillies (65-
37).
Mets 8, Reds 6
CINCINNATI Jason
Pridie put New York ahead
with a two-run double, and
the Mets took advantage of
one of Cincinnatis worst de-
fensive performances of the
season.
The Mets scored six un-
earned runs off Johnny Cueto
(6-4) with the help of three
errors, matching the Reds
high for a game.
The Reds traded left fielder
Jonny Gomes to Washington
for two minor leaguers shortly
before the start of the game.
Marlins 11, Nationals 2
WASHINGTON Greg
Dobbs drove in a career-high
five runs, including a solo
homer, and Logan Morrison
and John Buck each homered
to lead the Florida Marlins to
a win against the Washington
Nationals.
Dobbs drove in Floridas
first run in the first on a
groundout, scoring Omar
Infante who had tripled. He
added another run-scoring
single in the seventh and two
more on a single during Flor-
idas five-run ninth inning.
It was the second time this
year the Marlins have scored
at least 10 runs. Florida beat
the Cubs 13-3 on July 16.
Cardinals 3, Astros 1
ST. LOUIS Albert Pujols
got the St. Louis Cardinals off
to a quick start with a two-
run first inning homer, and
starter Jake Westbrook made
it hold up with six innings of
one-run ball as the Cardinals
defeated the slumping Hous-
ton Astros.
Pujols hit the first pitch he
saw from Houston starter
Brett Myers on a line to left
center field. The ball appeared
to hit the top of the wall, but
was ruled a home run by third
base umpire Mike DiMuro.
Houston center fielder Mi-
chael Bourn and left fielder
Carlos Lee rushed in to dis-
pute the call.

SALT LAKE CITY Olympic
silver medalist Jeret Speedy
Peterson was found dead in a re-
mote canyon in Utah in what po-
lice are calling a suicide.
Peterson, a freestyle skier who
patented the so-called Hurri-
cane and took second place at
the Vancouver Games with it,
called 911 before shooting him-
self, police said. The 29-year-old
had been cited for drunken driv-
ing Friday in Hailey, Idaho and
had pleaded not guilty.
Officers found Peterson late
Monday night between Salt Lake
City and Park City in Lambs Ca-
nyon. Police said a suicide note
was found near Petersons car;
they declined to reveal what it
said.
He was one
of the most col-
orful of ath-
letes, and he
wore his heart
on his sleeve
never more
than on Feb. 26,
2010, when he
walked off the mountain after
taking second place the silver
medal with tears streaming
down his face.
I know that a lot of people go
through a lot of things in their
life, and I just want them to real-
ize they can overcome anything,
Peterson said that night.
Theres light at the end of the
tunnel and mine was silver and I
love it.
It was a poignant closing chap-
ter to a career that, until then,
had been filled with success on
the smaller stages of his fringe
sport but defined in the main-
stream by his moment at the Tu-
rin Olympics where, after finish-
ing seventh, he was sent home
early after a minor scuffle with a
buddy in the street.
Over the next months and
years, he began telling his story.
In Italy, he was still reeling
from the suicide of a friend, who
had shot himself in front of Pe-
terson only months before.
Peterson also had problems
with alcohol and depression and
admitted he had his own
thoughts of suicide, all stem-
ming from a childhood in which
he was sexually abused and lost
his 5-year-old sister to a drunken
driver.
Today is a sad day in our
sport, Bill Marolt, the CEO of
the U.S. ski team, said in a state-
ment Tuesday. Jeret Speedy
Peterson was a great champion
who will be missed and remem-
bered as a positive, innovative
force on not only his sport of
freestyle aerials, but onthe entire
U.S. Freestyle Ski Team family
and everyone he touched.
Peterson got his nickname be-
cause of the big helmet he wore,
one that made him look like
Speed Racer of cartoon fame.
But quickly, he became better
known for the Hurricane a
triple-twisting, double-flipping
trick off the snowy ramp that was
more difficult than anything any-
one else would try.
It was high-risk, high-reward,
and Peterson always insisted hed
have it no other way. It was a
sight to behold when he landed it
and the judges rewarded it.
Helped by the huge difficulty
marks for the jump, he still holds
the two-jump scoring record of
268.70, set at Deer Valley in Ja-
nuary 2007.
He had seven wins on the
World Cup circuit, was the 2005
World Cup champion and a
three-time American champion.
But the stats and the medals
were only a fraction of the story.
Born with the heart of a gam-
bler, he took that passion to Las
Vegas and won $550,000 playing
blackjack one night. But within
years, he had given some of it
away and lost even more in the
tanking real estate market.
Trying to decide whether he
wanted to stay in the sport after
Turin, he took time off and start-
ed working in the construction
business a place, he said,
where he could see the effort of a
hard days work without having
to walk into the video room the
next day and break it down on
the TV screen.
But skiing was his passion, and
he recommitted leading up to
Vancouver. And what a payoff.
He came in second that night,
but hardly felt like a runner-up.
I do it because I want to be the
person I know I can be, he said.
Ive really changed things
around in the last 3 years. This
is my medal for everything Ive
overcome, and Im ecstatic.

The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES Chip Kel-
ly had several months to pre-
pare for the questions he finally
faced at Pac-12 media day. The
Oregon coach claimed hes ea-
ger to explain every aspect of
the Ducks dealings with a Tex-
as-based recruiting service.
Kelly told the Pac-12 media
he would love to talk, but hes
not allowed to clear up a prob-
lem thats threatening to tar-
nish the Ducks run to the na-
tional title game last season.
Kelly refused to discuss the
Ducks relationship with Willie
Lyles on Tuesday, moments af-
ter Oregon athletic director
Rob Mullens confirmedthe pro-
gram is under review by the
NCAA and the school. Al-
though Kelly spoke at his usual
mile-a-minute pace during his
interviewsessionat the Foxstu-
dio lot in Century City, his first
public comments about the in-
vestigation contained little new
information.
I would love to talk about it,
and when we have a chance af-
ter the report comes out, I will
be able to clear up any ques-
tions that anyone has about the
whole situation, said Kelly,
whose Ducks went 12-1 and
dominated the Pac-10 last year.
The troubles of the confer-
ences marquee program over-
shadowed the introduction of
UtahandColoradotothe recon-
figured Pac-12, which will have
two six-team divisions and a
conference title game in De-
cember at the top teams stadi-
um.
Most media members expect
that game to be at Autzen Stadi-
um. Oregon was picked to win
the title game in the poll an-
nounced Tuesday, getting 28 of
42 votes.
Even with just 11 returning
seniors, the Ducks are favored
to win the North Division with
29 first-place votes. Southern
California, which isnt eligible
for the title game under NCAA
sanctions, is narrowly favored
over Arizona State in the South
Division.
Our goal is to win the
South, said Utah coach Kyle
Whittingham, whose former
BCS-busting Utes were picked
third in their division. Imsure
the other five teams in the
South are thinking the same
thing.
Every other team in the
Pac-12 alsois wonderingwheth-
er the Ducks problems will de-
rail a burgeoning dynasty.
In a statement sent out to
Oregonsupporters byemail last
Friday, Mullens said the Ducks
have retained a law firm to as-
sess the programs payment of
$25,000 to Lyles, a Houston-
based recruiting service owner,
for an apparently outdated
scouting report last year. Kelly
said Oregon publicly will an-
nounce the results of its evalua-
tion when it ends.
The NCAA is investigating
whether Lyles steered star run-
ning back Lache Seastrunk to
Oregon, which would be a vio-
lation of NCAA rules. Lyles has
said his services went beyond
the normal scope of a scouting
service, acknowledging he
made a mistake.
The Ducks rolled to their sec-
ond straight league title last
season, going undefeated in the
regular season before losing to
Auburn in the BCS title game.
Seastrunk will compete for
playing time during preseason
camp as a backup tailback be-
hind LaMichael James, the re-
turning Heisman Trophy final-
ist.
The Ducks paid Lyles for in-
formation about players in the
2010 recruiting class, but Lyles
scouting report mostly covered
players who had already signed
letters of intent in2009large-
ly useless information.
As head coach of this foot-
ball program, were held ac-
countable for everything we
do, Kelly said. Id love to talk
about it. There are a lot of an-
swers Id love to make sure we
can get out there.
Oregons off-field troubles
didnt put off poll voters, partic-
ularly with James and quarter-
back Darron Thomas returning
toleadthe Ducks hyper-aggres-
sive offense. Theyre also not
doing much to affect the Nike-
backed schools recruiting, ac-
cording to Kelly.
I havent had to address it
with the recruits right now,
Kelly said of the Ducks recruit-
ing-service woes. Were com-
ing off back-to-back Pac-10
championships as we move into
a brand-new league with a

Its a bright future for us. We

from the kids weve talked to,
our recruiting is going very, ve-
ry well.

OSU makes
it official: Pryor
not coming back
COLUMBUS, Ohio Ohio
State made it official on
Tuesday that former
Buckeyes quarterback
Terrelle Pryor could not have
played at any time during the
2011 season and also banned
him from any contact with
the schools athletic program
for the next five years. Ending
speculation that Pryor had
not met the NFLs
requirements for a
supplemental draft, Pryors
lawyer sought and received a
letter from Ohio State stating
that he would not have been
eligible even after his
five-game suspension to start
the season. Because he also
failed to cooperate with the
NCAA in its investigation of
improper benefits given to
Ohio State players which
led to the forced resignation
of coach Jim Tressel Pryor
was told he was completely
disassociated from the
program where he starred for
three seasons.
With the NFL lockout finally
lifted, five undrafted Penn State
players signed free-agent con-
tracts on Tuesday.
The co-captains from the 2010
team, receiver Brett Brackett
and defensive tackle Ollie Ogbu,
reached deals with the Miami
Dolphins and Indianapolis
Colts, respectively.
Linebacker Chris Colasanti
also signed with the Colts, while
linebacker Bani Gbadyu and
offensive lineman Lou Eliades
both ended up with the Oakland
Raiders.
Brackett was a wide receiver
for the Nittany Lions but could
get a look at tight end with the
Dolphins along with former
Penn State teammate Mickey
Shuler.
In an interesting coincidence,
the Dolphins also signed former
Penn State and Delaware quar-
terback Pat Devlin on Tuesday.
Brackett had been recruited out
of high school as a quarterback
and came to Happy Valley ex-
pecting to play under center.
But Devlin was a late addition
to that 2006 recruiting class,
allowing Penn State to switch
Brackett to a different position.
Devlin transferred to Dela-
ware after the 2008 season in
order to be a two-year starter to
help his chances at reaching the
pros.
Colasanti and Ogbu land in
Indianapolis, where former
Penn State assistant Jim Cald-
well is the head coach.
Eliades will rejoin linemate
Stefen Wisniewski in Oakland,
where Wisniewskis uncle Steve
is an offensive line coach. The
two often played next to each
other for the Lions, with Wis-
niewski playing right guard and
center and Eliades at right tack-
le and right guard. Eliades mis-
sed most of his senior season
with a torn ACL.
Poz reportedly headed south
NFL teams cant officially sign
other teams free agents until
Friday, but NFL Network report-
ed Tuesday that former Penn
State star linebacker Paul Pos-
luszny will leave the Buffalo
Bills to sign a six-year deal with
the Jacksonville Jaguars. Pos-
lusznys priority was reportedly
to find a team with a 4-3 de-
fense, which he prefers to the
Bills 3-4 scheme.
Lions land defensive back
New Hampshire cornerback
Jake Kiley gave a verbal com-
mitment to Penn State on Tues-
day, becoming the 13th member
of the Lions 2012 recruiting
class according to multiple
recruiting services.
Kiley a 6-foot-1, 175-pound
athlete from New Hampton,
N.H. pledged to Penn State
within a day of receiving a
scholarship offer, his first from
an FBS program. With four of
the teams top six defensive
backs set to graduate after this
season, the Lions find them-
selves hurting for depth in the
secondary. Kiley is the teams
first DB commitment in the
class.

public scrutiny.
When taxpayers watching
their wallets in tough economic
times are having to fund a
sports event that they likely
wont even get tickets for, then
they must be allowed to com-
plain and be listened to.
Officials with control over
Olympic billions should publicly
account for every penny.
If you want to daub yourself in
body paint and run through
town in only your briefs and a
cardboard sign reading Olym-
pics(equals)hate you should be
able to do that, too without
needing a permit first.
In Beijing, these essential
elements were missing. The
result was the instrumental-
ization of the Olympics. They
became the expensive and elab-
orate propaganda tool for the
Chinese Communist Party.
The Olympics suffered in
credibility and atmosphere as a
result. In choosing Beijing, the
International Olympic Commit-
tee bet that the games would
spur significant human rights
changes. Seeing the IOC cast
around for excuses when the bet
didnt pay off was unedifying.
A rare public critic of Beijing
was internationally known artist
Ai Weiwei. Initially a consultant
on the Birds Nest, he later dis-
associated himself from the
design, calling it a fake smile
to mask social and political
problems in China. Chinese
authorities struck back at the
outspoken Ai this year, detain-
ing him for nearly three months
on tax allegations.
London 2012 is a polar oppo-
site, operating under impressive
levels of transparency and pub-
lic accountability.
The Olympic movement
even a year before the flame is
lit in London is better for it.
London Olympic officials are
regularly and publicly grilled
about everything games-related.
Even expense claims filed by
Olympic Delivery Authority
Chairman John Armitt and
other games leaders are publish-
ed on www.london2012.com.
Armitt spent, for example, 6
pounds, 70 pence on refresh-
ments at London City Airport
on March 1, 2010.
In their glass-fronted meeting
chamber that symbolizes the
citys openness, Londoners
elected representatives last
week peppered 2012 coordina-
tion director Neale Coleman
with questions that drilled
down to even nitty-gritty issues
such as the flags and bunting for
the English capital.
And Walker got an hour-long
meeting with Mayor Boris John-
son to tell him how unhappy he
is about losing his pitches to
Olympic parking.
Openness could backfire
when inevitable Olympic hic-
cups arrive and thousands of
journalists are here next sum-
mer to record them. Transport
chaos or a terror attack could
hurt Londons image for years to
come.
A lot of this is about reputa-
tion management, London
Assembly member John Biggs
noted in the questioning of
Coleman.
That is good. Because mega-
events such as the Olympics and
sporting bodies such as the IOC
are too big and too powerful to
operate in shadows. They
should continually have to justi-
fy their existence, especially
amid belt-tightening when some
people feel the money could be
better spent elsewhere. And no
Olympics should be an excuse
for threatening to imprison
elderly women.
Beijing had Bolt and Phelps
and opening ceremonies so
grand as to be unforgettable.
But warts and all London will
be more honest, and feel better
for it.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. Mar-
dy Fish has been the top-ranked
American tennis player for al-
most three months now and hes
getting more comfortable in that
role. In a sense, though, he feels
more like the caretaker to the

of our generation, saidFish, who
is No. 9 in the ATP World Tour

sive tackle Sealver Siliga before
he signed with San Francisco.
There are times when you are
fielding four or five calls at once,
added Linta. Multiply, say, 10
guys you are trying to get signed
by maybe three to10 teams inter-
ested ... you do the math.
The math adds up to hundreds
of transactions in a few days, as
opposed to a fewweeks had there
not been a 4
1
2-month labor stop-
page.
I think the best way to say it is
whatever you can imagine, its
probably worse than that, Cardi-
nals coach Ken Whisenhunt said.
There is multitaskingat its most
furious.
Normally, teams would bring
in players to visit their facilities,
have them work out and take
physicals, perhaps even attend
meetings and speak with poten-
tial future teammates. Some of
that might happeninthenext few
days, particularly for a high-pro-
file player such as Asomugha.
Most of it wont.
I think all of the guys realize
this is going to be a whole new
world, agent Jordan Woy said.
Most said, Listen, the bottom
line is the team Im with I like. If
somebody out there is really in-
terested, if theycomewithagreat
offer upfront, thenwell lookinto
that.
They realize theyre going to
have to make quicker, probably
less-informeddecisionsthanthey
have in the past. Theyre just go-
ing to have to do best they can.
So are the teams. Sure, all 32
clubs have hadmore thanenough
extra time towatchvideoanddis-
sect the games of every free agent
on the market. Maybe thats not
such a great think; overanalysis
has destroyed the chances of
many an NFL team through the
years.
And now theres the added ele-
ment of all those vets being re-
leased.
Inthisclimate, anythingspos-
sible, said Ravens coach John
Harbaugh, whose team will re-
lease Heap, receiver Derrick Ma-
son and running back Willis
McGahee. You may have an op-
portunity to bring some of those
guys back. Youmaynot. It just de-
pends on how things shake out
the next couple of days.
What also might shake out:
shorter contracts. Teams might
not be comfortable with long-
term deals (the five- and six-year
varieties) in this post-lockout cli-
mate. The big bucks could be
there, but not for as many sea-
sons.
Being a free agent in 2011
doesnt necessarily mean that
those players will all sign lucra-
tive long-term deals, said agent
Ben Dogra, who represents soon-
to-be former Cowboy Williams.
You will see more short-term
deals than ever before. Agents
will have toproject intofree agen-
cy of 2012 as much as this year.
At least in 2012, things will re-
turn to normality.

A big green and white sign
greeted Mark Sanchez as he
drove up to the New York Jets
training facility for the first time
in months.
And, boy, was it a pleasant
sight.
Welcome Back! it blared in
block letters, followed by Here
Come The Jets.
It was wonderful, Sanchez
said with a big smile Tuesday.
Now were back and we can
start playing, so its good.
The gates were up, facilities
were open all around the league
and NFL players finally went to
work.
Now, they need to get ready
for the season in a hurry.
Its goodtobe back, get every-
thing over with and just come
back and feel welcome again,
said Brett Swain of the Super
Bowl champion Green Bay Pack-
ers. Get backintheroll of things
and get camp started.
After a lockout that lasted 4
months ended Monday with an
agreement betweenthe NFLand
its players, teams facilities were
buzzing with activity Tuesday.
During the lockout, the Ten-
nesseeTitans hadachainaround
their closed front gate to keep
players out. That chain was gone
and the front gate wide open as
rookie quarterback Jake Locker,
the No. 8 pick overall in April,
and quarterbacks Rusty Smith
and Brett Ratliff were among the
first to arrive.
It is nice to drive by and not
have the lock on the gate and ac-
tually get a friendly smile when
youcome inhere, left tackle Mi-
chael Roos said.
Players all around the league
were allowed back in to meet
with coaches, work out, take
physicals and receive playbooks
among other things.
I came for the free lunch,
quipped Washington Redskins
receiver Anthony Armstrong.
Teams were already starting a
feeding frenzy on their drafted
players and undrafted free
agents, andwere allowedto start
negotiating with free agents in
what will likely be a flurry of ac-
tivity the league has never seen.
Players such as Nnamdi Aso-
mugha and Santonio Holmes
will soon find out where theyre
going or staying as free
agency began.
With this whole free agency
opening up, its going to be cra-
zy, Redskins quarterback John
Beck said at the teams facility in
Ashburn, Va. Our teams going
to look different.
Washington has several free
agents to address this summer,
including Santana Moss, Rex
Grossman, Carlos Rogers and
Rocky McIntosh. Oh, and theres
also the murky statuses of Dono-
van McNabb and Albert Haynes-
worth to deal with.
The Jets and general manager
Mike Tannenbaum have 16 play-
ers who are unrestricted free
agents, including Holmes, Bray-
lonEdwards, AntonioCromartie
and Brad Smith.
It would be interesting just to
get a camera in (Tannenbaums
office) andseehowcrazyit could
be, center Nick Mangold said.
Teams were alsogreetingplay-
ers by saying goodbye, at least
for now.
The New York Giants have
told center and player represen-
tative Shaun OHara and guard
Rich Seubert that they will be re-
leased. A source close to each
veteran told The Associated
Press on Tuesday that the team
told the players they would be
cut onThursday inwhat are sala-
ry-cap moves.
At Cowboys camp in Irving,
Texas, Dallas was set to release
several high-priced players, in-
cluding running back Marion
Barber, receiver Roy Williams,
right guard Leonard Davis and
kicker Kris Brown according
to multiple people familiar with
the decisions whotoldThe Asso-
ciated Press on condition of ano-
nymitybecausetheteamhadnot
made any announcements.
The Baltimore Ravens told
running back Willis McGahee,
former Pro Bowl tight end Todd
Heap, wide receiver Derrick Ma-
son and nose guard Kelly Gregg
they will be cut.
Its just the reality of the sala-
ry cap, coach John Harbaugh
said.

Here come the Jets and
everyone else as NFL players
start getting back to work.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.
The New York Giants have told
center and player representative
Shaun OHara and guard Rich
Seubert that they will be re-
leased.
A source close to each veteran
told The Associated Press on
Tuesday that the team told the
players they would be cut on
Thursday in what are salary-cap
moves.
The Giants might also cut an-
other offensive lineman on
Thursday. Tackle Shawn An-
drews, who played in 13 games
and started seven last season,
tweeted that he and the team
failed to rework the six-year, $32-
million contract he signed last
year.
Andrews also tweeted that
things werent over, but that
might mean his career more than
his time with the Giants.
The Giants are roughly $10
million over the NFLs new
$120.4 million salary cap. The re-
leases of OHara ($3.45 million in
2011) and Seubert ($2.25 mil-
lion) will reduce the problem by
roughly $6 million. Andrews
made $1.5 million last season.
OHara, 34, who was the start-
ing center since 2004, was limit-
ed to six games last season be-
cause of ankle and foot injuries.
He had surgeries on both in the
offseason.
OHara, who played at Rutgers
and is a local fan favorite, has
been the Giants player represen-
tative in recent years and he vot-
ed in Washington on Monday on
theagreement that endedthe4-
month lockout.
The 32-year-old Seubert prob-
ably was the Giants most valua-
ble lineman last season. He
moved fromguard to center after
both OHara and backup Adam
Koets were sidelined.
However, Seubert suffered a
major knee injury against Wash-
ington in the final game of the
season when he dislocated his
right knee. It was his second ma-
jor injury. He broke his right leg
in a game against Philadelphia in
2003 and did not return until the
2005 season. He needed five sur-
geries to repair the leg.
It was uncertain whether ei-
ther OHara or Seubert would
have been ready for the season,
anyway. The Giants could re-sign
them, but it is not known, at this
point, if either wants to come
back.
The moves leave Koets as the
only returning center with start-
ing experience, and he also is
coming off a major knee injury.
OHara, Seubert, guard Chris
Snee andtackles DavidDiehl and
Kareem McKenzie once had a
streak of starting 32 consecutive
games in a run that made them
one of the NFLs top offensive
lines.
The Giants open the preseason
on Aug. 13 at Carolina.
Its the end of the
line for two Giants

til Ashleigh Clarke grounded
out on a drag bunt to Raskiew-
icz.
Shes just an incredible
pitcher, said coach Klosko.
Thats how shes been all year
for us, keeping the ball out of
play.
With a four-run lead, things
became dicey for Raskiewicz.
Christy Mathewson scored
three in the fourth and three in
the fifth to move within a run.
KFF responded by posting
four runs in the bottom of the
fourth, led by Raskiewiczs two-
run single to left field. It gar-
nered an insurmountable lead
with three runs in the fifth in-
ning, highlighted by a run-pro-
ducing line drive single to left
field by Danielle Cook.
Christy Mathewsons biggest
chance of the game came in the
bottom of the fifth inning in a
bases-loaded situation with the
go-ahead run on first base. Ras-
kiewicz forced a Christy Math-
ewson batter to swing at a high
pitch to end the scoring threat.
Thats 10 and 11 year old
girls; thats all it comes down
to, said coach Klosko. Some-
times they make some plays.
Sometimes they dont make
some plays.
They call each other sisters
and youre not going to let your
sister down. Thats how they
played.
Raskiewicz led KFF at the
plate witha 2-for-3performance
with two runs and three RBI.
Morgan Klosko produced the
lone extra base hit for KFF and
scored two runs.
Cook scored in all four of her
plate appearances and notched
two hits.
Christy Mathewsons Decker

We were trying to keep the
kids focused on every pitch,
Mathers said. We had about a
two-and-a-half hour delay in get-
ting the game started. Were try-
ing to keep them focused with
that amount of time and theyre
11-year-old kids.
Neither team wasted time
getting their bats started. J.D.
Barrett crusheda homer todead
center in the first to give Amer-
ican a 2-0 lead. Mountain Top
answered back with a four-run
second to take a 4-2 lead. Bran-
don Brozena opened the inning
witha soloshot andEvanKnapp
later added a three-run homer.
American, though, took a 6-4
lead into the fifth before Moun-
tainTop tiedthe score andeven-
tually forced extra innings. Sean
Wills did so with a two-run sin-
gle for Mountain Top.
Barrett, who fanned nine as
thestarter, finished3-for-4at the
plate with four RBI. Holdredge
added two RBI.
Knapp paced Mountain Top
by going 2-for-3 with three RBI.
Wills also finished with two
RBI.

momentum and we carried
it all the way through.
It was further proof that
Krum is becoming more
comfortable with his play at
Triple-A.
Anytime you move up a
level, theres going to be an
adjustment, added Krum,
who hit .242 with 13 RBI at
Trenton prior to his May 21
promotion.
I was trying to do way
too much when I first got
here. Now that I think Im
used to it, its flowing a lot
better.
With Krums stellar in-
ning in the books, Jorge
Vazquez hit his league-lead-
ing 23rd homer, a two-run
shot, to cap the fifth-inning
rally, and Jesus Montero
stroked a three-run homer
in the sixth to put the Yan-
kees up 11-2.
The big lead enabled
starting pitcher D.J. Mitch-
ell to cruise to his team-
high eighth win of the sea-
son. The righthander (8-7),
who won his fourth straight
decision, allowed four hits
(two each in the second and
fourth innings) but walked
six in a six-inning outing.
NOTES
Former Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre Red Baron
Justin Germano threw a
perfect game for the Colum-
bus Clippers on Tuesday in
Syracuse.
In 2006, Germano made
six starts for the Red Bar-
ons when the team was af-
filiated with Philadelphia.
He was 2-0 with a 2.82
earned run average that
year.
With his perfect game, in
which he struck out seven,
Germano (1-2) earned his
first win.
Earlier Tuesday, the
New York Yankees activated
third baseman Eric Chavez
from the 60-day disabled
list. To make room, fellow
infielder Brandon Laird was
optioned back to Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre.
Laird was 1-for-6 with an
RBI in four games for New
York. Before his promotion,
he batted .266 with Scran-
ton with 10 home runs and
49 RBI.

Durable goods orders
The Commerce Departments report on orders for manufactured goods
like computers, cars and planes during June will help confirm whether
the nations factories recovered from a spring slump. The Institute for
Supply Management has already reported that manufacturing picked
up last month. The governments report today will look at demand for
durable goods products expected to last at least three years.
Delta earnings
The airline is expected to report
a second-quarter profit today
the question is how much its
earnings were hurt by rising
prices for jet fuel. And, how
much it expects to be able to
raise fares in the coming
months. Delta and other carri-
ers raised fares several times
through April. But theyve had
little success with fare
increases since then because
some airlines refused to go
along with the pack.
The Feds Beige Book
The Federal Reserves 12 regional banks do surveys on
local economic conditions eight times a year. The result
is its Beige Book, which uses anecdotal evidence to
assess the strength of the economy. The last report,
issued in early June, found that the economy slowed in
several regions. The
Beige Book being
released today looks
at the economy from
late May to early
July. Its likely to con-
firm that job growth
was weak during that
time. Source: The Commerce Department

Debt stalemate hits shares
A White House threat to veto legisla-
tion that would avert a debt default
pushed stocks lower Tuesday.
Major indexes were already down for
the day when the White House said it
would object to a Republican plan in
the House of Representatives that calls
for raising the debt limit by $1 trillion.
The plan would require the debt issue
to be voted on again next year, some-
thing President Barack Obama does
not want.
If an agreement is not reached by
Aug. 2, the U.S. wont have enough
cash to pay all its bills and could de-
fault on its debt.
Wal-Mart jumps into video
The worlds largest retailer on Tues-
day started streaming many movies the
same day they come out on DVD, in a
second bid for a share of popular movie
rental and streaming website Netflixs
business and just two weeks after Net-
flix announced new price increases.
Wal-Mart Stores bought video-
streaming service Vudu.com18 months
ago and now offers 20,000 titles that
can be viewed on almost any device
with Internet access, from computers
to televisions to Sonys PlayStation3
and other Blu-Ray disc players.
Movies are available at Walmart.com
to rent for $1 to $5.99 or to purchase
for $4.99 and up. Wal-Mart is not of-
fering subscriptions
Hersheys profit strong
After yet another strong quarter for
Hershey, the nations second-largest
candymaker raised its outlook for the
full year Tuesday, predicting that sales
will rise by 6 percent and earnings will
jump by 10 percent.
The Hershey Co. nearly tripled its
second-quarter profit, largely because
of one-time costs that dampened prof-
its a year
ago. But the
company
also posted
strong sales,
higher pric-
es, better
foreign cur-
rency ex-
change rates and some earlier-than-
expected orders.
Revenue rose 7.5 percent to more
than $1.3 billion. After accounting for a
one-time credit of $1.8 million, it met
Wall Streets expectations.
Setback for Saab recovery
Automaker Saabs recovery efforts
were dealt a setback Tuesday after
Swedens state-controlled debt collec-
tor announced that a group of creditors
has demanded its money back.
In addition, the automaker said it
was forced to delay salary payments to
some 1,600 white-collar workers since
the company has yet to receive funds
committed by investors.
Earlier this month, the Swedish
government approved a deal that
would allow Saab to sell some $40
million in property that would give the
company an injection of working cap-
ital.
The company hopes to restart pro-
duction this summer.

FordandChrysler sawdecreasingprofit
but rising sales during the second quar-
ter of 2011.
Despite rising sales, Ford Motor Co.
saw its profits dip about 8 percent dur-
ing the second quarter as commodity
prices rose and as the company paid off
its debt and invested in new vehicles.
Ford said Tuesday it earned $2.4 bil-
lion, or 59 cents a share, in the second
quarter compared with a profit of $2.6
billion, or 61cents per share, during the
same period last year.
The Dearborn, Mich.-basedautomak-
er posted $35.5 billion in revenue, a 13
percent jump fromthe same period last
year. American sales jumped15 percent
to $19.5 billion, and despite struggling
European economies, Ford sawits sales
jump 20 percent to $9 billion across the
Atlantic during the second quarter.
But North America provided the only
increase in operating profit for the com-
pany, to$1.9billion. SouthAmerica, Eu-
rope and Asia all saw decreases in pre-
tax operating profit.
Ford said it decreased its debt $2.6
billion in the second quarter. The com-
pany borrowed heavily in 2006 to res-
tructure and prepare for the industry
downturn.
Ford said it expects results in the sec-
ond half of 2011to be lower due to high-
er commodity prices and seasonal
trends.
Also on Tuesday, Chrysler Group
LLC reported a net loss of $370 million
as it repaid government loans taken as
part of its bailout during the financial
crisis, a move that cost the company
$551 million.
Without that payment, net profit
would have totaled $181 million, the
company said.
Revenues jumped 30 percent to $13.7
billion in the second quarter, compared
with the same period last year.
There is no doubt that Chrysler
Group has taken a huge step forward
this quarter, Sergio Marchionne, chief
executive of Chrysler and Fiat SpA, said
in a statement.
Fiat, which controls Chrysler with a
53.5 percent stake, reported second-
quarter earnings of (euro) 1.3 billion
($1.9 billion), compared with (euro) 90
millioninthe same perioda year earlier.
Revenues rose 40 percent to (euro)
13.15 billion.
The maker of Fiat, Ferrari and Alfa
Romeo brands, booked a one-off gain of
(euro)1.058 billionfromthe takeover of
Chrysler after integrating the U.S. car-
makers numbers in its balance sheet on
June 1.

managers. Incompetent col-
leagues who get raises. Layoffs.
Those complaints are usually
whisperedinconversations at the

entrepreneur Ryan Masanz
hopes to profit by putting them
online.
His website, OfficeLeaks.com,
lets employees post anonymous

Masanz lets companies monitor
the comments for a fee but vows
tonever reveal employees identi-

concerns, but Masanz said he be-
lieves Office Leaks will give em-
ployers an uncensored view of
their business.
I think great companies want
to know honestly what employ-
ees think, Masanz said.
Office Leaks was inspired by
Masanzs mother. She found out
her firmwas laying off workers in

position to tell a colleague who
was planning to buy a home, cre-
ating a moral dilemma.
In Office Leaks, users enter

NEW YORK Two years into the re-
covery, Americans confidence in the
economy continues its roller coaster ride.
As their short-termoutlookonjobs and
income eased somewhat amid a mix of
optimistic and bad economic news, U.S.
consumers confidence rose slightly to
59.5 in July, according to a survey re-
leased Tuesday by a private research
group.
Thats upfroma revised57.6 inJune
which marked a seven-month low in the
measure but still well below the read-
ing of 90 that signals a healthy economy
on the Conference Boards Consumer
Confidence Index. It hasnt approached
that level since the recessionbeganinDe-
cember 2007.
Brian Reardon, a 29-year-old insurance
consultant from New York, says theres a
reason consumers arent confident. Hes
been cutting back on spending because
all the recent unemployment and hous-
ing data has been mixed, making himun-
easy about the economy.
One day its good news, he says, and
the next day you hear some company is
downsizing.
Economists carefully monitor consum-
er confidence because consumer spend-
ing accounts for 70 percent of economic
activity. But consumer confidence has
changed like the wind during the eco-
nomic recovery, fluctuating up and down
as consumers react to the stock markets,
corporate news and world events. Earlier
in the year on the index, which measures
how Americans feel about business con-
ditions, the job market and the next six
months, respondents were more optimis-
tic that the economy was on track for a
recovery. But consumer confidence has
fallen since reaching a three-year high in
February of 72. A shift of less than five
points is generally discarded by econo-
mists as insignificant.

come to terms with the fact that
the wristwatchis no longer about
telling time. Almost every American
96 percent, to be exact carries a mo-
bile phone that always shows the time.
But watchmakers arent ready to let gen-
erations of young consumers live with-
out a watch.
Instead, the Swiss, the worlds largest
producers of watches, are leadinga cam-

Dont panic
Francesca Levy, Elizabeth Gramling AP
Stock indexes fell Monday and Tuesday, and the deadline for Congress and President
Obama to agree to raise the governments borrowing limit is now just six days away.
Anxiety is expected to keep rising, and thats likely to make investors sell. If there is no
deal, the U.S. will be at risk for defaulting on its debt. Heres how to ease your anxiety:
Knowing that the market is likely to go through a rough
patch can help you make rational decisions. Financial
analysts say a deal will be a temporary fix. Debates
about the budget and borrowing limit will continue.
Investors have another fear: Moodys and Standard &
Poors may lower the countrys credit rating. That could
drive up borrowing costs and hurt the economy.
Many financial advisers say investors
should stick with a long-term strategy
and leave their portfolios alone. If you
cant resist the urge to sell, dont just
dump stocks. Sell only as many as you
need to calm your nerves, says Kate
Warne, a strategist at Edward Jones.
Two other suggestions:
Look carefully at any stock that
makes up more than 10 percent of your
assets. A big drop in one stock could
take your portfolio down sharply.
Sell your riskiest stocks. Those
might include stocks in emerging
markets or small companies. Investors
see these stocks as very risky, and they
tend to fall the most when the market
falls. The Russell 2000 index is made
up of small companies. Its down 1
percent in the last week. The S&P 500
is up 0.3 percent.
Avoid a
clearance sale
Expect the market
to remain volatile
Fund managers say cash should make up between 10
percent and 20 percent of your investments. It can be a
cushion when stocks fall. It also gives you the ability to
buy if you see a stock that looks like a bargain. Money
market mutual funds are considered a safe place. But
right now, they offer almost no return. If theres a default
by the government, its not clear what return youd
get from them, because many invest in Treasurys.
A bank account may be your best bet. The website
bankrate.com has a list of banks that pay the best rates.

The steel makers quarterly profit
rose. But it expects shipments to
decline and raw material costs to
rise in the current quarter.
The grocery store chains first-quar-
ter net income rose 10 percent as
demand for groceries improved and
the company cut costs.
The photo companys quarterly loss
deepened as sales of digital camer-
as and film slumped. Kodak cut its
forecast for the year.
Stocks fell Tuesday as gridlock in Washington on
the countrys debt moved the U.S. closer to a pos-
sible default. Several big companies also gave
forecasts that disappointed investors. UPS , the
worlds biggest package deliverer, expects an un-
even economic environment. The Dow Jones in-
dustrial average fell 91.50, or 0.7 percent, to
12,501.30. The S&P 500 fell 5.49, or 0.4 percent,
to 1,331.94. The Nasdaq fell 2.84, or 0.1 percent,
to 2,839.96.

I saw a scary
sight in the
WNEP backyard
last evening
when we took a
direct hit from a
thunderstorm.
The storm
brought straight
line, downburst
winds measured
at 64 mph bend-
ing over large
trees with a
flooding down-
pour and a coat-
ing of pea-size
hail. The
Poconos also
had gusts to
near 65 mph. In
the wake of
those storms
today we have
cooler and less-
humid air in
town with plenty
of sunshine and
a guarantee for
no rain. Our next
chance for
storms will come
late tomorrow
leading the way
for hotter and
more humid
weather heading
into the week-
end. But tem-
peratures won't
get as high as
they were last
week.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: A storm system will produce showers and thunderstorms from the Upper
Midwest into the western Great Lakes. Strong to severe storms will be possible. Scattered showers
and thunderstorms will be likely along much of the Gulf Coast and across Florida as well. A moist flow
of air from the south will result in thunderstorms from the Southwest into the Rockies.

ambalaya is a rich tomato-based dish from Louisiana that is
jammed with meat and bold flavorings. And it is not gener-
ally considered a healthy dish. To health it up a bit, we
switched out some of the heavier meats for leaner options. We
also used a small amount of flavorful andouille sausage; a little bit
adds lots of flavor without adding tons of calories and fat. Using
brown rice, of course, is another way to add a nutritious touch.
And to make the most of sum-
mers bounty as well as to add a
green vegetable we used the jam-
balaya as a stuffing for roasted zuc-
chini. The mixture would be equally
delicious stuffed into a hollowed-out
tomato or bell pepper. Serve the
dish with a green salad and a piece
of crusty French bread to round out

THE TIMES LEADER WEDNESDAY, JULY 27, 2011

FRESH TUNA IS a
perfect option for a
light supper on a
warm summer
evening or an im-
pressive appetizer
when entertaining.
This wasabi-encrusted tuna is so
flavorful, you only need a light
sprinkling of the dressing.
This tuna dish will pair well
with a lighter white wine such as a
dry Riesling or Sauvignon Blanc.
WASABI PEA-ENCRUSTED
AHI TUNA SALAD
2 Ahi tuna steaks, 6 ounces each
Fresh red and yellow pepper slices
Arugula
Green onion
Avocado
Fried shoestring onions (see
below)
Wasabi peas, crushed
Sesame seeds
Bit of sesame oil
Flour
Dressing:
1
4 cup white wine vinegar
1
4 cup soy sauce
1
2 teaspoon ginger, minced
1
2 teaspoon Chinese hot mustard
1
2 cup sesame oil
1
2 lime, juiced
Dressing: Mix the ingredients for
the dressing, adding the oil last, pour-
ing slowly to emulsify. Set aside.
Fried onions: Thinly slice a medium
white onion. Dredge the slices in flour
and deep fry until crispy.
Salad: Arrange all ingredients on a
plate.
Tuna: Rub the tuna steaks with
sesame oil, season with salt and
pepper, then coat with the crushed
wasabi peas and sesame seeds. Heat
a saut pan. I used a small amount of
olive oil, but you could sear dry. Let
steaks cook on a medium-high heat
for 3 minutes on each side.
When finished, slice in
1
2-inch
pieces and arrange on top of salad.

PORTLAND, MAINE Macaroni
and cheese and pot pies may conjure
up images of grandmas kitchen. But
those traditional dishes these days are
being combined with the king of sea-
food and transformed into value-add-
ed lobster dishes that some are calling
gourmet comfort food.
Varied selections of prepared frozen
products, such as lobster macaroni
and cheese, lobster pot pie and lobster
pizza, are making their way to grocery-
store freezers aimed at mainstream
consumers not just the white-table-
cloth crowd.
The creations are targeted at lob-
ster-lovers and foodies who dont want
to deal with a live product and want
the ease and convenience of simply
taking something out of the freezer
and popping it into the oven.
The first time Maine Lobster Coun-
cil Executive Director Dane Somers
heard about frozen lobster macaroni
and cheese, he didnt think it was the
smartest idea because many people as-
sociated the dish with the 99-cent
boxed variety. Hes changed his mind
now.
It appeals to folks because its a fa-
miliar form, Somers said. Its kind of
exotic, but familiar at the same time so
people can relate to it.
Maine accounts for more than 80
percent of the U.S. lobster catch, with
last years harvest reaching a record 93
million pounds.
Inside grocery stores, lobsters tradi-
tionally have been sold live out of cir-
culating-water tanks placed near sea-
food departments. Some stores sell
frozen lobster tails or lobster meat,
but the value-added products were
slim pickings.
In Maine, Calendar Islands Maine
Lobster Co. launched its line of eight
frozen lobster products in January.
The products are now sold in more
than 100 grocery and specialty-food
stores, mostly in New England but al-
so in the St. Louis area and in Hawaii.
The top seller is lobster macaroni
and cheese, followed by lobster pizza
and lobster pot pie.

Coroners should not be
funeral home directors
Written by Rob Viehman
THURSDAY, 25 MARCH 2010 15:26
Missouri
News
Given the fact that Crawford
County Coroner Paul Hutson is
owed more than $1,000 in back
mileage, isnt provided office
space, cant drive his county
provided vehicle full time as he
needs to, doesnt get any county
health insurance and only makes
$1.71 per hour, why on earth
would he continue to do that job?
Everybody knows why. Its good
for his funeral home business.
Advertisement Advertisement
Until we hold Public Offcials in the
Coroners Offce accountable and
prohibit them from
1. Soliciting Funeral
Arrangements
2. Discussing Funeral
Arrangements
3. Accepting Funeral
Arrangements
while engaged in the public trust,
in an inherent confict with ones
private interests, we will NEVER
have an ethical foundation to build
the TRUST we deserve. To promote
ones self interest with people at their
most vulnerable time (not with a sales
pitch, but perhaps a hug when needed
most, a gentle reminder that they
can handle their funeral needs or to
discuss funeral/cemetery issues, while
acting in the capacity of LUZERNE
COUNTY CORONER/DEPUTY
CORONER) is unethical and
inappropriate. Patrick Lehman
Restaurants have been sell-
ing fancy lobster dishes for a
number of years, and Calendar
Islands is trying to replicate
the dining-out experience with
in-home products, said John
Jordan, president of the Por-
tland-based company. The new
creations are less expensive
than they would be in a restau-
rant (and less than the compa-
nys website prices), but
theyre not cheap the pizza
sells for about $19 in grocery
stores, the lobster pot pie for
about $13 and the macaroni
and cheese for about $10.
The whole category of val-
ue-added lobster was kind of
slim. You just didnt find it in
supermarkets, Jordan said.
In some ways, this is really a
new category for stores.
Cal Hancock started her
Hancock Gourmet Lobster Co.
11 years ago after living in the
Midwest, where people told
her they liked lobster but
didnt want the hassle of get-
ting them shipped in the mail
and having to throw them in
boiling water to cook them.
When she moved back to her
native Maine, she started a
mail-order business on the
premise of making lobster
products that are easy to fix.
Nowadays, many of her prod-
ucts are sold at hundreds of
specialty food stores as far
away as California. Her frozen
lobster macaroni and cheese,
lobster risotto and lobster corn
chowder are sold at a small
number of Hannaford super-
markets in Maine.
She even sells a frozen
Maine shore dinner with two
lobster tails, mussels, shrimp,
scallops and two ears of corn in
a thick, heavy foil bag that goes
from the freezer to the oven or
an outdoor grill. You can live
in New York City in an apart-
ment and have a lobster bake,
she said.
Her best seller is the lobster
mac n cheese, which she
launched three years ago, fol-
lowed by lobster pot pie and
lobster flatbread.
I think people like the famil-
iarity, she said. You can come
up with something different
like my lobster wellington, but
its not as familiar as the other
things.
Linda Bean introduced her
line of frozen value-added lob-
ster products in March and is
selling frozen, packaged lob-
ster claws at hundreds of Wal-
Mart stores, she said. Her com-
pany, Linda Beans Perfect
Maine, also sells frozen lobster
ravioli and has plans to expand
its frozen line of products.
With the lobster catch at an
all-time high, its important to
develop value-added products
so theres a market for the high
volume of crustaceans that are
trapped off Maines rocky
coast, she said. Maines lobster
harvest has grown from under
40 million pounds to more than
90 million pounds in the past
15 years.
We are not aiming for the
luxury market. Were aiming
for the mass market, Bean
said. The future is making it
easy for people to eat lobster.

JAMBALAYA-STUFFED
ZUCCHINI
Start to finish: 45 minutes (25
minutes active)
Servings: 4
2 medium zucchini, halved
lengthwise
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground black pep-
per
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small red onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
1/2 cup diced celery
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1 teaspoon Worcestershire
sauce
1/2 cup chopped andouille sau-
sage
1/2 cup chopped cooked shrimp
1/2 cup shredded cooked chick-
en breast
1 cup cooked brown rice
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Heat the oven to 400 F.
Using a melon baller or a
small spoon, scoop or scrape
out and discard the seeds
from the zucchini halves,
creating long narrow canoes.
Sprinkle with the salt, garlic
powder and pepper, then
place hollow sides up on a
baking sheet.
In a large skillet over medi-
um, heat the olive oil. Add
the onion and garlic and saute
until soft and translucent,
about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the
green pepper and celery and
saute for another 4 to 5 min-
utes, or until soft. Add the
tomato paste, Cajun season-
ing, hot sauce and Worcester-
shire sauce, then continue to
cook until the mixture be-
comes aromatic and begins to
darken in color, about 2 to 3
minutes.
Stir in the sausage, shrimp,
chicken and rice. Adjust the
seasoning with additional salt
and pepper and the lemon
juice. Scoop the mixture into
the zucchini boats.
Roast the stuffed zucchini
for 20 minutes or until the
zucchini is tender and cooked
through.
