Philadelphia Summer of 1865.
A grand review of the areas troops re-
turning from the Civil War is planned for
July10, along with a reception for Lt. Gen.
Ulysses S. Grant, head of the victorious
United States forces.
But sadness overhangs the festivities,
for the community and the nation are still
reelingfromtheassassinationof President
Abraham Lincoln and the execution of
four people found guilty of the conspiracy.
In the city is native son Maj. Gen. Ge-
orge G. Meade, the hero of Gettysburg, to
lead the parade. Many of his colleagues
from the armys general staff are there to
join him. Together, in their blue dress uni-
forms they andtheir troops will accept the
publics thanks for putting down the Con-
federate rebellion and preserving the
American nation.
With these historical events as a back-
drop, Fred Walters and his Shavertown-
based performing arts organization, the
Lindhill Institute, will create a sub-story
that although it did not actually happen
is designed to throw light on that sum-
mer of pride, anguish and rebirth.

The citys recent purchase of
75 S. Main St., which once
housed Deli Divine, brings the
tally of non-governmental prop-
erties acquired during Mayor
Tom Leightons administration
to 24, though
two were sold,
records show.
Leightons
administration
inherited the
rest of the col-
lection, ac-
quired when
Tom McGroar-
ty served as
mayor from
1996 through
2003.
Most of the
buildings
picked up dur-
ing Leightons
administration
were eyesores
that marred
neighbor-
hoods, he said.
If you live in
a neighbor-
hoodwithslum
and blight, if
everything else
is failing
around that
slum and
blight, youre
going to look to the city, your lo-
cal government to help you.
Thats the reason we stepped in,
Leighton said.
Melana Khalife, who lives in
the citys Rolling Mill Hill sec-
tion, praised the city for taking
control of the former Sanitary
Laundry site on Bradford and
McLean streets, which was initi-
ated by McGroarty and contin-
ued under Leighton.
The city bought the two par-
cels in a 2002 back-tax sale and
later demolished the former in-
dustrial laundry building. The
site cant be sold until the city
completes contamination remov-
al funded by a grant, and Khalife
and other neighbors are interest-
ed.
The city had to take action,
Khalife said. I really think the
W-B citys property holdings diverse
Officials have some high
hopes for many of the sites
acquired over the years.

Nathan Summerlins home is
nearly surrounded by vacant lots
acquired by Wilkes-Barre city,
creating a hopeful yet uneasy
sense about what will happen on
them.
The city has acquired 10 prop-
erties on Carey Avenue and in
the 400 block of South River
Street since Mayor Tom Leight-
on took office in January 2004.
Leighton envisions a housing
project on the citys combined
1.76 acres, a smaller version of
the Courtright Housing Devel-
opment nowunder construction
on the site of a former burned-
out lace mill across town.
The hold-up: funding.
We have a plan in place that
will really restore the integrity of
that neighborhood. Unfortunate-
ly, we cant implement it until
the economy turns around,
Leighton said.
Summerlin applauds the citys
demolitionof eyesores but hopes
the housing project, if pursued,
encourages
home owner-
ship, as op-
posed to rent-
als.
Most of the
properties that
have caused
trouble in the
past were not
owner-occu-
pied, said
Summerlin,
who lives in
the turn-of-the-
century apart-
ment building
hes restoring.
The city has
pointed out
similar con-
cerns. When it
unsuccessfully attempted to ob-
tain federal mortgage foreclo-
sure for the project in 2009, the
city said the conversion of large
duplexes or former single-family
homes into apartments has hurt

SHAVERTOWN When Fred
Walters was a professor of history
at Luzerne County Community
College in the 1980s, he decided
to try something new to stimu-
late interest in Americas past.
So he started doing staged dra-
mas focusing on significant
events, in period dress, while giv-
ing actors a good deal of leeway
to develop characters and speak
lines.
The productions proved such a
hit that when he retired from the
college in 2006, he continued his
presentations, gradually expand-
ing them beyond Wyoming Val-
ley. He designs storylines,
recruits actors and arranges for
venues, all under the name of the
Lindhill Institute, his own pro-
duction organization, which is
basedat his home inShavertown,
Kingston Township.
Since that time weve really
tried to reach out, he said.
Weve had people coming from
Florida, New Jersey, Ohio.
While he recruits actors locally,
he also relies on out-of-area per-
formers such as Andy Waskie of
Philadelphia, whos developed a
stunningly realistic portrayal of
Civil War Maj. Gen. George G.
Meade, and he uses their connec-
tions to stir up interest far and
wide.
The events can be national as
in his two Lincoln presentations
this year or local, such as the
one based on aviation pioneer
Charles Lindberghs emergency
stop in Wyoming Valley in 1928.
That event, incidentally, pro-
vided Walters with the name for
his production group: Lind
from Lindbergh and hill, be-
cause, Walters believes, Lind-
berghs circling to find a place to
land might well have taken him
over Walters modern-day house
on a hill in Shavertown.
Walters and his Lindhill actors
will be keeping busy right
through the end of the year.
Though everything is not final-
ized yet, he plans a December
project centering on the 1941 Ja-
panese attack on the U.S. Navy
base at Pearl Harbor.
Group rooted in interest in historic events
This medallion honoring pioneer aviator Charles Lindbergh is
embedded in concrete near the front porch steps of the home of
Fred Walters in Shavertown, Kingston Township. Lindbergh once
visited the Wyoming Valley. Walters group did a presentation
honoring that visit.

Lindhill Institute productions
grew from professors effort
to illuminate past events.
By TOMMOONEY
Times Leader Correspondent
On Sept. 14 in the ceremonial
courtroom of Philadelphia City
Hall, Lindhill will present, The
Great Conspiracy, subtitled
recollections of the main gov-
ernment witnesses at the Lincoln
assassination trial of 1865. The
trial sent four conspirators to
death and four more to prison.
Its an effort to tell the Amer-
ican story, to bring history to
life, said Walters, who has been
conceiving and directing history-
based presentations since the
1980s, when he was a teacher at
Luzerne County Community
College in Nanticoke.
Gettysburg show
The September presentation is
a shorter, alternate version of
Walters recent marathon-length,
Trial of the Lincoln Conspir-
ators, which his group present-
ed at Gettysburg.
I didnt think the trial tran-
script could be scaled down, he
said. So I had to come up with
another format. We decided to
(focus on) two main witnesses
(Louis) Weichmann and (John)
Lloyd whose testimony was the
most dramatic and convincing
and was most essential in the
conviction of the defendants.
Lindhill actors in full historical
costume and using American
speech of the 19th century will
meet the modern-day public and
explain their recent trial testimo-
ny that helped send four people
to the gallows after one of the
most controversial trials of all
time. Then they will answer the
publics questions press-confer-
ence style.
What we decided to do was
have these two gentlemen tell

their stories in historical con-
struction. Every word they speak
will be authentic, based on the
Weichmann book or the facts of
the trial or other historical sourc-
es, said Walters. We want to
make sure every word these peo-
ple speak can be attested to.
The assassination of President
Lincoln in April 1865 remains
one of the nations darkest times.
Less well known to most peo-
ple today, however, is that the as-
sassination was only part of a
broader terror conspiracy by
sympathizers of the just-defeated
Confederacy to paralyze the U.S.
government.
Planning deadly plots
First, in March of 1865, several
conspirators plotted to kidnap
the president and deliver him to
the Confederates, who were still
a monthaway fromsurrendering.

Meade for over 25 years, read ev-
erything he ever wrote or what
was written about him, inter-
viewedfamily members andfeel I
have the essence of the man, he
added.
When that plan did not work
out, they switched to assassina-
tion.
Lincoln and several other top
officials, includingGrant, were to
be killed and the government
destabilized. But most of the plot
failed, and only the president
died, shot in the head while he
was watching a play at Fords
Theater in Washington, D.C.
The conspirator who shot Lin-
coln, actor John Wilkes Booth,
was soontrackeddownandkilled
by federal troops.
Over the next few weeks, a
group of people largely associat-
ed with a boarding house operat-
edbyMarySurratt werearrested,
and most were brought to trial.
Four, proclaimedthe ringleaders,
were hangedonJuly7. Four more
were sent toprison, three of them
for life.
Events moved quickly, and
controversy soon arose. Ques-
tions were raised about the qual-
ity of proof used to convict the
guilty and of the truthfulness of
testimony by Louis Weichmann
and John Lloyd suspects them-
selves early on in the investiga-
tion.
In particular, some people
wondered, were Weichmann and
Lloyd lying about the others to
save themselves?
The heart of Walters presenta-
tion in September will be his ac-
tors portraying Weichmann and
Lloyd telling their personal sto-
ries to a modern audience.
The venue, Walters hopes, will
help the historical veracity of his
production.
It was Walters own Civil War
connections that helped him se-
cure use of the ceremonial cour-
troom, where Philadelphia-area
officeholders are sworn in.
He is a member of the Union
League, a prestigious Philadel-
phia club founded in1862 to sup-
port the war effort. When he
mentioned his idea, fellow club
member Pamela Benbe, who is
president judge of the Philadel-
phia Court of Common Pleas,
recommended the historic cour-
troom and arranged for its use.
Mountain Top man stars
The stars of the show will be
Hugh Taylor of Mountain Top
playing Weichmann and Tim Ra-
sinski of Gettysburg playing
Lloyd.

(Weichmanns) personality from
the trial transcript andthe book,
said Taylor, a former history
teacher now studying for a law
degree at Widener University
and a veteran Lindhill performer.
For the details I look to the
source, Weichmanns own
words.
There is an art, he says, to be-
ing authentically historical and
remaining in character, particu-
larly when facing a modern audi-
ence and responding to their
questions.
The language would seem
stilted, but he was an educated
person. These people would have
been familiar with Shakespeare
and the Bible. Ill use that type of
language. I find that if you take
your time and slow down, you
findit easier touse that datedlan-
guage. This is a little more diffi-
cult, but Ive been doing it for
years.
Lindhill actors will play addi-
tional historical figures. One is
Temple University professor An-
dy Waskie as Meade.
Waskie, whom Walters calls
phenomenal, has played Civil
War figures in the movies Get-
tysburg and Glory. He is presi-
dent of the General Meade Socie-
ty of Pennsylvania and the head
of regional Civil War Round Ta-
ble organizations.
For Waskie, Septembers pro-
duction is part of a long personal
quest.
I have always felt that Gen.
Meade, despite being Pennsylva-
nias and Philadelphias greatest
and highest-ranking war hero,
has never received the credit due
himfor all his manyimportant ac-
complishments, said Waskie.
I discovered living history as
a way to bring Meades character
alive to present in his own words
his life and career. I have studied

ceived his bachelor of science in
business administration. He
spoke favorably regarding his
Kings education saying, I had a
great time, met great people and
have memories for life.
Dave Sosar, assistant professor
of political science at Kings for
the past nine years, described
commencement this way: It is a
pleasure to see young people suc-
ceed I am very proud of their
abilities. It is a good day, and a
day to celebrate their accom-
plishments.
The commencements main

cal professor in community and
family medicine at The Com-
monwealth Medical College, as
well as a clinical adjunct faculty

held for the Coal Street widen-
ing project that is under con-
struction, but few people at-
tended, said Mayor TomLeight-
on.
Recently some Coal Street
residents said they were un-
aware that there would be no
parking onCoal Street whenthe
project was completed.
The city is working closely
with the county, state, and de-
sign team to improve the River
Street corridor for pedestrian
and vehicular traffic as well as
highlight the great public assets
along the corridor both present
and future, Leighton said. We
have highhopes for the project.
May said the project will re-
duce the number of lanes on
River Street between Ross and
North streets from four to two.
He said traffic will travel in one
lane each way with turning
lanes in some areas.
This is a traffic-calming pro-
ject that was requested by the
city, May said. We will reduce
traffic flowto one lane each way
in that area.
May said a questionnaire will
be handed out at the public
hearing to gain additional infor-
mation from the public.
Brozena said its a dangerous
proposition at times now to try
tocross River Street toget tothe
$24 million River Common pro-
ject.
People see dashed white
lines and they think its a high-
way, Brozena said. The intent
with this project is to come up
with a wide design that allows
for a UPS truck and those sorts
of things and to have adequate
turning lanes. But the main ob-
jective is to slow traffic down.
Brozena said the plan calls for
the curbs on River Street to stay
where they are now. He said
there may be a raised median in-
stalled and maybe trees and
flowers downthecenter of River
Street.
Imnot sure anyof that is still
in the cards, Brozena said.

Village Saturday. The weekend of
activities, which continues to-
day, features about 200 Union
and Confederate
re-enactors per-
forming drills, fir-
ing period rifles
and staging a tacti-
cal skirmish.
But events like
Flynns funeral, set
against the back-
drop of the recon-
structed mid-19th
century mining
village, brought a broader
breadth of perspective to the
weekend and helped to transport
spectators back in time.
Walking up the towns main
drag, one could hear the tune of
banjos and clacking washboards
chiming Oh my Darling, Clem-
entine occasionally punctuated
by rifle fire, smell food cooked
over open campfires wafting
from soldiers camp sites, and
pause for a moment to watch Ar-
thur Bransky, dressed as snake-
oil salesman Dr. Kelly, peddle his
medicinal cure-all.
I often tell the kids you can al-
ways ask your parents to take you
to an amusement park, said Bob
Vybrenner, president of Eckleys
Board of Directors of the Associ-
ates. Ah, but to travel in time.
Thats the experience you get
here.
I was just at the funeral, and
that was pretty similar to what a
mining family would have expe-
rienced, said Michael Pozzess-
ere, a history teacher at Hazleton
Area High School who came to
enjoy the re-enactments. They
really put a lot of work in to make
the experience as realistic as pos-
sible.
Many of the volunteer re-en-
actors staging the event said that
ability to step into another world
is exactly what brings them to
events like Eckleys.
Its really neat when you wake
up in the morning and watch the
sun go across the sky till it gets
real pink as its doing down in the
evening, said 81st Pennsylvania
Company Kre-enactor Ted Dom-
broski, of Hazleton, as he sat be-
neatha tent chatting history with
a handful of re-enactors from
12th New Jersey company. Its
just spending the whole entire
day outside. How often do you
get to do that in the modern
world? Its an escape from the
modern world.
We try to get in character; we
take it very seriously, said Con-
federate re-enactor Bob Abel, of
Hellertown, who portrayed a
member of the company in
which his ancestors served, the
1st Texas Company E. Well joke
around maybe in camp where no
spectators are watching, but
when we get on the fields, its se-
rious business.
Natalie Kost, of Freeland, who
portrayed one of the mourners in
Flynns funeral, said shes been to
hundreds of battlefields and re-
enactments, but was so taken by
the event at Eckley she was
moved to tears.
Its my first time doing it and I
was so moved, Kost said. I truly
ended up crying. Its truly a part
that you play, but the feelings are
real. That could be your son in
there. Thats probably what this
is all about: the feelings. Feelings
dont change.

Its been three years in heaven for you and my heart still smiles every
time someone speaks your name. I am so proud to have had a father
like you. Some people dont know that youve been the ROCK in my life
since the time I was born.
When life gets me down, I call upon YOU to give me the strength I need to go on.
As you know, on June 30th, 2011, we lost our beloved Reggie. The thought
of you and your son-in-law together in heaven gives me the will to wake up
every morning and start a new day.
Life has not been easy for anyone in our family. Many things have changed
and nothing seems the same. I know you are looking down on us and will make
better times come our way. You have always put family rst, no matter what. I
hope your blessed soul brings only happiness to all, until we meet again.
I love and miss you more than words can say.
Your loving daughter, Deidre

V
irginia Rosser Myers, 92, died
Thursday, August 18, 2011, after
a prolonged illness.
She was born April 14, 1919, a
daughter to Bruce and Edna Rosser.
After graduation from Kingston
High School, she began Nursing
School at the Wilkes-Barre General
Hospital. While a student, she con-
tracted meningitis and survived be-
fore the advent of antibiotics.
Charles E. Myers, a young intern
at thetime, diagnosedher condition
and managed her care. They fell in
love and married in1942, on the eve
of World War II. After graduation,
Ginny worked as a Visiting Nurse
and gained first-hand insights into
the plight of those in poverty.
Shortly after marriage, her hus-
band joined the U.S. Army. Four
years later, hereturnedfromthewar
and after only six months went to a
tuberculosis sanatorium where he
remained for the next two years.
Thus, for the first six years of mar-
riage, Ginny and her husband lived
together for less thanayear. Despite
these difficulties, she managed well
enough on her own that her young
family thrived. This set the pattern
for the rest of her life as those of us
who had the pleasure of knowing
her remember her as strong, resil-
ient and resourceful.
After these early difficulties, Vir-
ginia and her husband enjoyed, as
didAmerica at that time, a periodof
peace and prosperity as they
worked as a team to develop Char-
less medical practice andraise their
young family.
Inadditiontoher roleas amother
and wife, Virginia was very active in
community affairs. For many years
she was on the Board of Directors of
the Wilkes-Barre General Hospital
andthe Girl Scouts andvolunteered
at the General Hospital.
In part because of her experience
as a Visiting Nurse, she had a life-
long commitment to social justice
and liberal causes which she shared
with her husband. They worked to-
gether to help those less fortunate
and were passionate, lifelong Dem-
ocrats. When her husband discov-
ered that men with miners lung dis-
ease were not being adequately
cared for by the community, Ginny
supported himin establishing a fed-
erally funded clinic to fix this prob-
lem. She strongly supported the
Civil Rights movement in the 1960s
and 1970s. Most recently, she was
active in fundraising for the Obama
campaign.
Ginny was one of those people
who were always available to
friends and family members in dis-
tress. She showed all of us that you
could be kind and caring while ex-
hibiting great strength of character
and a strong will.
One of Ginnys most memorable
challenges was learning howto ride
a bicycle at the age of 50. Not only
did she learn but she took bicycle
trips to Australia, France, the Neth-
erlands, and New Zealand. Many
Saturday and Sunday mornings
would find her chugging up some
steep hill and smiling at the end. In
her middle years (50-80), she
learned to play tennis and enjoyed
doubles with many of her friends.
She also learned to play the cello.
We will always remember her life-
long exuberance for Mahjong and
bridge. One of her latest challenges
before her stroke was to complete
the New York Times Cross Word
Puzzle on a daily basis.
Ginny actively participatedinthe
raising of her grandchildren. Subse-
quently, they each have a special
place in their hearts for their Grand-
ma Ginny who the very young
grandchildren dubbed as solid
metal. Her closely knit family, chil-
dren and grandchildren, will surely
miss her. She will remaina legendin
our lives for many years.
Ginny is survived by her three
children, Charles Myers Jr., and his
wife, Rose, of Earlysville, Va.; Fre-
drick Myers and his wife, Debra, of
Kingston; and Mary Ann Myers of
Pittston; her four grandchildren,
Jessica Myers Schecter, Gabrielle
Myers, Eric Myers and Mathew
Myers; six great-grandchildren; sis-
ter-in-lawand brother-in-law, Bever-
ly and William Myers of Arizona; as
well as several nieces and nephews.
Our family is grateful to the staff
of St. Lukes Villa (formerly Heri-
tage House) for their kindness and
excellent care of our mother
through the last two and half years.
Arrangements are entrusted to
the Adonizio Funeral Home Inc.,
Pittston.

N E W S
is in a row of
buildings fac-
ing the Main
Street lofts
above the
downtown the-
ater complex.
The city
bought nearby
71 S. Main St.,
a brick three-
story that once
housed a cof-
fee house, at a
back-tax sale earlier this year.
The former Nortons dress shop
at 69 S. Main had been pur-
chased by the city for $50,000 in
1996.
Wilkes-Barres Redevelop-
ment Authority owns 61 S.
Main, which stands at one end
of the row. The authority pur-
chased that building, the former
Humphreys-Walters Shoe Store,
for $50,000 in 1997, records
show.
Sandwiched in between are
Michaelene Coffees womens
clothing store, Place One, and
the former Frank Clark Jewelers
owned by the Pollock family.
The row was slated for faade
improvements as part of the the-
ater complex development but
later dropped from the project
because funding was not avail-
people who lived around it and
held out and decided not to
move away deserve the opportu-
nity to buy it at a reasonable
price to enhance their quality of
life.
The city spent $348,540 to ac-
quire properties during Leight-
ons tenure, according to proper-
ty deeds.
About half of
the 24 or 13
were purchased at
back-tax sales.
The remaining 11
were acquired di-
rectly from the
owners, eight of
them for $1 each.
The city is ve-
ry careful not to
overbid or shut out bidders who
would invest their own money
to renovate and maintain a prop-
erty, the mayor said.
The city dropped out of bid-
ding on the former Academy
Market at a September 2006 tax
sale because the amount went
too high. The city wanted to de-
molish the rundown property on
busy Academy Street.
Maryland-based BSE Proper-
ties LLCbought the property for
$14,000 at the sale but has done
little, if any, rehabilitation to the
property, officials said.
The countys tax claim oper-
ator has again posted it to be
listed at the Sept. 22 auction be-
cause BSE owes $16,382 in back
taxes from 2007 to 2010. Like
many potential bidders, city offi-
cials wont tip their hands and
reveal if they plan to bid on it.
About 125 deteriorated prop-
erties have been demolished
during Leightons administra-
tion, mostly with community
development funding.
City ownership is usually the
goal when property must be de-
molished at government ex-
pense so the site may be sold
and returned to the tax rolls,
said city Economic Develop-
ment Director Greg Barrouk.
Liens are placed against prop-
erties to try to recoup demoli-
tion costs, but the owners rarely
pay and usually let their proper-
ties go to back-tax sale, Barrouk
said.
Development potential
Some of the citys acquisitions
were targeted as future econom-
ic development prospects, such
as the former bank building on
Public Square and the former
deli, the mayor said.
The city paid $225,000 in
2005 to buy the once stately
First National Bank building
from the estate of Michael A.
Greco. The building had been
vacant for decades and was slat-
ed for back-tax auction.
City officials said at the time
that they feared the property
would end up in the wrong
hands and continue deteriorat-
ing if the city was outbid at auc-
tion.
The city recently accepted
$1.4 million in gaming funds to
stabilize and mothball the build-
ing until development plans are
cemented.
The recently purchased 75 S.
Main, at the corner of South
Main and Northampton streets,
able, officials said.
The citys latest purchase of
the corner property was prudent
to seek funding and developers
and prevent another buyer from
holding up a future project or de-
manding an excessive purchase
payment, Leighton said. The
city supports Place One and
should have no problem work-
ing with the Pollocks, he said.
Its about site control, and we
have control of four of the six,
Leighton said. These are valua-
ble pieces of property if theyre
in the right hands because its
going to take thousands and
thousands of dollars to rehabil-
itate them and bring them
back.
14 properties sold
The city sold 14 properties
since Leighton has been in of-
fice. The highest sale was five
parcels in the 600 block of South
Main Street known as the Shapi-
ro property to South Main Plaza
LP for $150,000 in December
2007. The city had purchased
the parcels at a 1998 back-tax
sale for about $7,000.
The city owns several slivers
that once held eyesores. These
lots are too narrow for develop-
ment because modern zoning
regulations require a 10-foot
buffer on both sides of new
structures, Leighton said. The
city is negotiating with neigh-
boring property owners who
may want to buy them, Barrouk
said.

the neighborhood.
Held by absentee landlords,
these units have attracted Sec-
tion 8 renters, contributed to an
overall decline in neighborhood
upkeep and increase in crime,
the citys application said.
Acquiring the properties made
sense, even though the project is
in limbo, because theres little li-
kelihood the government or pri-
vate developers would invest in a
project without site control,
Leighton said.
Without ownership, we cant
make a presentation, he said.
The neighborhood has also
been improved by clearing the
lots, said city Economic Develop-
ment Director Greg Barrouk.
The city fielded constant
complaints from residents about
the blighted properties, he said.
Gone is the former Roxanne of
PA swimsuit factory on Carey
Avenue. The roof had caved in af-
ter the plant closed in 1997.
The former Chus Lounge on
Carey Avenue was purchased for
$21,000 and leveled. The estab-
lishment was shut downafter offi-
cials deemed it a nuisance bar.
Several large residential struc-
tures were demolished.
They were just a constant
headache to us and all the neigh-
bors, Barrouk said.
Leighton said he hopes people
remember what it was like before
the city intervened.
Youve got to understand,
these were homes to the home-
less, the drug addicts, the prosti-
tutes. These are where they hung
out and hid from the police.
Summerlin said he and many
other surrounding property own-
ers are trying to rebound and rid
their neighborhood of its image
as the ghetto of Wilkes-Barre.
He and his girlfriend purchased
their building in 2005 because
the structure was solidandblend-
ed in with the citys striking ar-
chitecture.
Its kind of a delicate balance
what we have here now, he said.
Its definitely come a long way so
you have to applaud the city for
what its done.

THE TIMES LEADER SUNDAY, AUGUST 21, 2011
Like many young girls growing up
in Northeastern Pennsylvania in the
1950s, Barbara Woronko Anzalone
had a mother who worked in a dress
factory, andanolder brother, Bill, who
went to fight in Viet-
nam. Anzalones fam-
ily may not have had
an excess of material
possessions, but they
provided her with
something even
more valuable: the
encouragement and
support to allow her
beauty inside and out to grace
stages nationwide.
In her long career as a pageant con-
testant, actress and dancer, Anzalone
has worn the crown of Miss Pennsyl-
vania, drunk champagne with Frank
Sinatra, stormedRadioCityasaRock-
ette, andevenhob-knobbedwithvam-
pires. In1968, theEdwardsvillenative
graced the small screen with a guest
role on the popular ABCdrama Dark
Shadows. Now, as Johnny Depp and
Tim Burton prepare a film version of
the show in England, Anzalone remi-
nisces about a career that some might
call improbable.
The basis for all of Anzalones suc-
cess, shebelieves, is her mother, Mary
Woronko. I had a wonderful mother
who was with me all the time, Anza-
lone says, Momknewtalent and she
was not one to give false praise. She
saw my talents, so she pushed me. I
would not have been able to realize
my career if it werent for her help.
At the age of 3, Anzalone began
studying dance at Hilda Man Hertzs
studio on South Main Street, Wilkes-
Barre. I dont thinksheever danced,
Anzalone laughs, but she had such
charisma. After a five-minute conver-
sation with her, you were enamored.
Anzalone also studiedunder Bob Niz-
nick and John Kenley. In 1970, as An-
zalone approached her teenage years,
she playedSusaninthe Little Theatre
of Wilkes-Barres productionof Dont
Drink the Water.
A few years earlier, Anzalone en-
tered the pageant world, where her
talents came in handy. Her first com-
petition was Miss NEPA Teen at
Rocky Glen Park. WARMwas the ra-
dio station in those days, Anzalone
recalls, and I remember them adver-
tising this pageant all over the station
saying applications were available,
the pillars of the communitywouldbe
judging it was going to be on the
up-and-up, which was good, because
otherwise my mother would never
have let me gone.
On the day of the pageant, a swarm
of girls filled the park. The competi-
tion included a judges interview, an
on-stage appearance, and on-stage
questioning. It was a very respect-
able affair. We wore cocktail dresses.
There was no bathing suit portion.
And our question was worth the most
points, says Anzalone, who was se-
lected from35 finalists as the winner.
Every competition became a step-
ping stone to gain experience and ex-
posure, she says.
In1967, as a high school senior, An-
zalone was chosen as the representa-
tive of West Side Central Catholic
High School, Kingston, for Americas
Junior Miss program. Junior Miss
was a talent programlike Miss Amer-
ica, Anzalone reflects, but it was al-
soascholarshipprogram. At that time

obby Soper is the president of Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. Soper, 39, is a native of Atlanta and
is a graduate of the University of Georgia, where he earned a BBAin economics. He also earned a
law degree at the University of Georgia. He and his wife, Jackie, have two children: Gabriella, 11, and
Dalton, 7. They live in Shavertown.
Youvebeenat thecasi-
no since 2005 and have
been its president since
Day One. What do you
enjoy the most about
your work? Interacting
with people. The casino is
a dynamic environment.
You have thousands of
people that come in here
every day from all walks
of life. Its often said
that casinos are great
people-watching plac-
es, and certainly as a
manager, to be able to
interact with such a di-
verse group of people
makes every day inter-
esting. And that holds
true for our teammem-
bers as well. Weve got
over 1,600 team mem-
bers here, andtheyall havedif-
ferent backgrounds and, in our
case, are all very passionate
about our organization. To be able
to have such an incredible team
and to be able to work side by side
with thembrings a lot of gratifica-
tion.
When you were going for your
law degree, you probably didnt
envision running a casino. I
thought I was going to be a securi-
ties attorney. That was my focus in
lawschool. My cousin in Connecti-
cut was the manager of the Mohe-
gan Tribe at a time when they
opened the initial Mohegan Sun.
She worked for the tribal govern-
ment and she let me know they
were looking for attorneys and
asked if Id be interested. I was
freshout of lawschool, newlymar-
ried and the opportunity of being
associatedwithacasinowas excit-
ing. Even though I was barred in
Georgia and already had a job
lined up, we decided to take the
risk, move to Connecticut and try
out the casino world.
And you liked it? I liked it. I
spent four years in the capacity of
senior counsel for the organiza-
tion. We were able to raise over a
billion dollars, both from Wall
Street and from banks. I got to
workwiththebest attorneys inthe
country on those transactions. It
was an incredible experience for a
young attorney. I was also able to
work side by side with the CEO of
the casino and learned a lot of the
operations. Ultimately, he select-
edmetobeasenior vicepresident
for the casino, and over time, I was
delegated more and more respon-
sibility and more and more divi-
sions of the company. And then ul-
timately, I was selected to open up
this property and manage this
property.
Youve got a very big job at a
place that never closes. What do
youdotorelax?Bothmyself and
my wife like to be involved in the
community, so were both heavily
involved in a lot of community or-
ganizations and a lot of nonprofit
organizations. For fun, I certainly
liketospendtimewithmychildren.
We like tohit the amusement parks
and travel. And sometimes, I like to
take long weekends to a beach and
do nothing.
Hobbies? I collect sports mem-
orabilia. And I like to play fantasy
sports, especially fantasy foot-
ball.
Atlanta teams, we assume? I
am a Falcons fan. Absolutely. And
the Atlanta Braves. And Im a big
fan of the Georgia Bulldogs.
Music? Anything 80s. Wheth-
er its glamrock, or 80s hard-rock,
or 80s R&B. Its all 80s. It was the
prime part of my childhood and
teenage years.
Favorite vacation spot? Can-

stuff, Bonnie said, and then go
our separate ways.
Then, one time, David casually
asked: You like The Poets, dont
you? I heard theyre going to be
opening the Waterfront.
After giving a noncommittal
kind of answer, Bonnie remem-
bered, she started to walk away.
Then she had a second thought.
I turnedbackaroundandsaid,
You werent asking me out, were
you? Im not really good at this
dating thing.
They did agree to attend the
concert together but, he ex-
plained to her later, a date hadnt
been his intention until she
mentioned it. When you asked
me if I was asking you out, he
told her, I wasnt going to say
no.
That was the night they argued
about whether or not the moon
was full.
Our friendship was built first,
and our relationship started out
very slowly, Bonnie said, recall-
ing the couple had been dating
about six months when she ob-
served that You never really
make any advances.
He said, Im a gentleman. I
said, I appreciate that, but
could you stop being a gentle-
man? He said, I had a feeling
when you were ready, youd let
me know.
The couple merged their
households four years ago and
became engaged during a neigh-
bors NewYears Eve party at the
stroke of midnight.
They would have gotten mar-
ried two years ago, except Da-
vids son, also named David, was
getting married. Then they
would have gotten married last
year, but Bonnies daughter Ri-
chelle was getting married.
This year, it was Bonnie and
Davids turn.
The couple exchanged vows
before Bonnies friend, the Rev.
Ann Marie Webb. Surrounding
them were their loved ones, in-
cluding Bonnies daughters Am-
ber Wesley and Richelle Steele,
Richelles husband Joe and their
daughters Kailee Anna and Abi-
gail. At Davids side were his son
David with his wife, Jacky, and
their daughter, Chloe; Davids
daughter Sommer Fitch, her
children, Mackenzie Fleeger and
Cameron Fleeger, and her hus-
band, Bruce Bauman.
And, if you check the calendar
for Aug. 13 you will notice an un-
deniable fact. The moon was full
on the day of the wedding.

Hildebrand Family gathers for 99th reunion
Favorite city? Atlanta. Its just
an opportunity to visit old friends
and catch up.
Favorite food? Anything choc-
olate.
Always in the fridge? Bacon.
First car? 1980 black Volkswa-
gen Rabbit.
Favorite movie? The Hangov-
er.
Favorite TV show? Cheers.
And from today, Boardwalk Em-
pire.
Favorite book? Atlas
Shrugged by Ayn Rand.
Favorite quote or phrase?
Luck is what happens when prep-
aration meets opportunity.
Most influential person? For
me, its twofold. Personally, my
parents instilled the values that I
have today, so they were certainly
the most influential in that regard.
And my mentor was my boss, Bill
Velardo, who mentored me in the
gaming industry. Hes passed
away, but he taught me everything
in the industry, including the im-
portance of relationships and re-
spect and humility.
Proudest professional mo-
ment? Opening the first casino in
Pennsylvania. We established
precedent and paved the way for
other casinos, as well as the regu-
latory body. It was an incredible
teameffort that required unusual-
ly long workdays for many, many
people. And the smiles that you
saw on all of their faces when we
opened was very memorable. It re-
quired a lot of working parts and a
lot of hard work from all of our
teammembers and it resulted in a
very historical moment, not only
for our organization, but for the
commonwealth. It was certainly a
memorable day.

supporting the family; she
couldnt afford college. So I turn-
ed to the pageants for scholar-
ships.
While representing her high
school, Anzalone won the title
Miss Wilkes-Barre, theprelimina-
ry that allowed her to compete
for and win the title of Miss
Pennslvania. This earned her a
spot in the finals in Miami Beach,
Fla.
That was like a dream, Anza-
lone says. I had never flown, and
I didnt want to go without my
mother. To enable her to go, the
radiostationWARDopenedtheir
phone lines. They explained the
situation and raised enough to al-
lowmy momto go. I cant believe
howmany generous people there
are in this area.
Anzalone and some of her fel-
lowcompetitors wereassignedto
stay at the Fontainebleau Hotel
in Miami Beach where, as luck
would have it, Ol Blue Eyes was
performing. FrankSinatra found
out the finalists were staying
there and he invited us to a cock-
tail party. At first, the pageant di-
rectors were not going to allowit
they kept a close watch on us.
We each had our own security
guard and our floor of the hotel
was locked so the elevators
wouldnt stop on it. Frank insist-
edaglass of champagnewouldbe
harmless, and he talked them in-
to letting us go, she said.
While at the party inClub Gigi,
Anzalone was suddenly lifted off
her chair by Sinatra, who gra-
ciously posed for pictures and
chatted. Ultimately, Anzalones
involvement with Americas Ju-
nior Miss would earn her a
$2,800 scholarship to the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania that she nev-
er used, and memories that last-
ed a lifetime. Seeing so many
girls fromso many different plac-
es was a real eye-opener, she
says, I made a lot of friends.
Not long after claiming the ti-
tle Miss Pennsylvania, Anzalone
was crowned Miss Polish Amer-
ica 1968 at Palisades Park, N.J.
The prize was an opportunity to
read for the part of Nurse Pritch-
ett on the gothic soap opera
Dark Shadows, and Anzalone
ultimately secured the role. She
appeared on Episode 632, which
aired on November 26, 1968.
Before I went to the filming, I
had never seen Dark Shadows,
but afterwards I was hooked. We
workedfrom9inthe morningun-
til 6 at night, but it was a lot of
fun. Everyone was very kind and
welcoming. Recently, Anzalone
was invited to and attended the
Dark Shadows Festival, held
from Aug 19 through Aug 21 at
the ballroom of the New York
Marriott Brooklyn Bridge. Other
original cast and crew members
in attendance included Kathryn
Leigh Scott, Kathleen Cody, and
Jonathan Frid, who starred as the
original heart-throb vampire Bar-
nabus Collins.
For fans of the drama, Anza-
lone offers information on the
planned film, directed by Tim
Burton and starring Johnny
Depp: The film will precede the
series, andexplainhowBarnabus
came to the U.S. If the first filmis
successful, it is poised to become
a franchise. Though Frid has
surrendered the role of Barnabus
Collins to Depp, he will make a
cameo appearance in the film.
Anzalones fame has been far
from short-lived. After filming
her episode of Dark Shadows,
she danced for the Rockettes in
1974, during their 50th anniver-
sary season. After an injury on
stage at RadioCity shortenedher
tenure, she returned home to
found the NEPA Academy of
Dance, which she operates in her
Edwardsville homestead. She is
also the executive director of the
Precision Talent Competition,
whichshe createdwithher moth-
er in 1983 to give area youths a
chance to showcase their talent
and learn about their fellow art-
ists.
I personally can only stay in
the big cities for a short time.
Were all programmed to do cer-
tain things. Im programmed to
keep coming back to teach kids
what I learned in the entertain-
ment industry.
Anzalone has used semi-retire-
ment to spend more time with
her beloved family, including her
husband Agne Anzalone, her son
Tony, and her brother Bill and his
family. Evenstill, she calls her de-
sire to teach insatiable and
plans to continue teaching classi-
cal ballet and tap dancing in the
area until she is 90. While pop-
ular opinion has chastised the
place where Anzalone grewup as
backwards, she praises it for its
simplicity, knowing well that the
hard work and values of her fam-
ily enabled her to skyrocket and
land among the stars.

WASHINGTON Roy
Oswalt pitched eight-hit ball
for eight innings, Wilson Val-
dez and Jimmy Rollins each
drove in two runs and Hunter
Pence homered to lead the
Philadelphia Phillies to a 5-0
victory over the Washington
Nationals on Saturday night.
Oswalt was supposed to start
for the Phillies on Friday night,
but after torrential rain arrived
in the first inning, the game
was delayed by 2 hours, 22
minutes, and he was scratched.
The Phillies, winners for the
81st time this year, scored
twice in the fourth and three
times in the sixth as Oswalt
(6-7) struck out nine the
most since joining Philadelphia
last July. He walked one and
had runners on in every inning
but the second and third.
Braves 8, Diamondbacks 1
ATLANTA Dan Uggla
homered twice and drove in
three runs, Brandon Beachy
gave up only one run in six
innings and the Atlanta Braves
continued to feast on the top
teams in the NL West by beat-
ing the Arizona Diamondbacks
8-1 on Saturday night.
Ugglas two-run homer in the
first gave Atlanta the lead.
Uggla and Freddie Freeman hit
back-to-back homers in the
seventh.
Brewers 11, Mets 9
NEW YORK Prince Fiel-
der hit a long home run early
and a key single in the ninth
inning Saturday, spoiling the
Mets chances of a win against
former closer Francisco Rodri-
guez and giving the Milwaukee
Brewers an 11-9 victory over
New York.
Casey McGehee followed
Fielders tying hit with a two-
run single off Manny Acosta,
capping a four-run rally.
Pirates 5, Reds 3
PITTSBURGH Neil Walk-
er had two RBI singles, the
second driving in Andrew
McCutchen with the go-ahead
run in the seventh inning, and
the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the
Cincinnati Reds 5-3 Saturday.
Walkers hit off of Aroldis
Chapman (2-1) was his third
hit of the game, and Brandon
Wood followed with an RBI
double, allowing Pittsburgh to
improve to 8-3 against the Reds
this season.
Cubs 3, Cardinals 0
CHICAGO Matt Garza
pitched seven sharp innings,
Aramis Ramirez homered and
the Chicago Cubs beat the St.
Louis Cardinals 3-0 Saturday.
Garza (6-9) scattered five
hits, struck out eight and won
at Wrigley Field for the first
time since June 27.
Sean Marshall, Kerry Wood
and Carlos Marmol finished off
the shutout. Marmol earned
his 29th save in 37 chances.
Rockies 7, Dodgers 6, 13
innings
DENVER Dexter Fowler
atoned for a crucial mistake by
hitting an RBI single with two
outs in the 13th inning Sat-
urday that gave the Colorado
Rockies a 7-6 win over the Los
Angeles Dodgers.
Fowler misplayed a line
drive by Trent Oletjen into an
inside-the-park homer in the
12th that gave Los Angeles a
6-4 lead.
Astros 7, Giants 5
HOUSTON Jose Altuve
hit an inside-the-park drive for
his first major league home
run, a leadoff shot that sent the
Houston Astros over the San
Francisco Giants 7-5 Saturday
night.
Altuve had three hits and
fellow rookie J.D. Martinez
homered and drove in four
runs as the Astros matched a
season high with their fourth
straight win.

Phillies Oswalt
dominates D.C.
The Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS A.J.
Burnett lost his composure and
failed to finish the second
inning, when the Minnesota
Twins scored five times on
their way to a 9-4 victory over
the New York Yankees on Sat-
urday.
Francisco Liriano (9-9) threw
seven stellar innings for the
Twins, who played like they
were taking a decades worth of
frustration out against their
nemesis. This was just their
20th win in 81 games against
the Yankees over the last 10
seasons, including the playoffs.
Burnett (9-10) was the one
who was bummed out on this
night, though, so much so that
he turned his head while skulk-
ing off the mound and angrily
shouted what appeared to be a
few curse words toward man-
ager Joe Girardi after he took
the ball from the lanky right-
hander. Girardi was later
shown on TV tracking Burnett
down in the tunnel to the club-
house and ushering him back
to the bench.
Royals 9, Red Sox 4
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Alex
Gordon and Eric Hosmer each
drove in two runs in an eight-
run sixth inning to help the
Kansas City Royals rally to
beat the Boston Red Sox 9-4 on
Saturday night, depriving Tim
Wakefield of his 200th victory.
Wakefield, who is 0-2 with
three no-decisions since a July
24 triumph over Seattle, took a
4-1 lead into the sixth, but
failed to get out of the inning.
He was pulled after giving up
three consecutive hits with one
out and the Red Sox holding
onto a 4-3 advantage.
Rays 8, Mariners 0
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.
Jeremy Hellickson allowed six
hits over eight sharp innings,
Evan Longoria hit his 20th
homer of the season and the
Tampa Bay Rays beat the Seat-
tle Mariners 8-0 on Saturday
night.
Longoria finished with four
RBIs, including a two-run
homer in the first. He joined
Hall of Famer Eddie Mathews
as the only major league third
basemen to have 20 or more
homers in each of their first
four seasons.
Tigers 10, Indians 1
DETROIT (AP) Brandon
Inge homered in his return to
the Tigers lineup and Detroit
went on to rout the Cleveland
Indians 10-1 on Saturday night.
Inge was designated for
assignment in July, a move that
many expected to end his
11-year career. He accepted a
demotion to Triple-A Toledo,
though, and hit well enough
for the Mud Hens to earn a
surprising recall.
Inge homered in his first
at-bat and hit a 400-foot RBI
double in his second as the
Tigers increased their AL Cen-
tral lead to 3
1
2 games. He
hadnt had two extra-base hits
in a game since August 20,
2010 exactly a year earlier.
White Sox 3, Rangers 2
CHICAGO (AP) Alex
Rios entered the game when
Carlos Quentin was injured in
the first inning then hit a go-
ahead double in the eighth,
giving the Chicago White Sox
a 3-2 victory over the Texas
Rangers on Saturday night to
snap a three-game skid.

There were a bunch of run-
ners ahead of me early in the
race, said Porfirio. I passed
them. And at one-mile, I was in
front. But I knew someone was
right behindme. I just kept upmy
pace for a while. But I wasnt able
to settle into a comfortable pace.
And with (Lombardo) right be-
hind me, I had to keep pushing. I
wasnt sure what kindof leadI had
after that, so I just kept pushing.
Lombardo, who will be a junior
this fall at Pittston Area where she
runs track and cross country, said
that Porfirio actually pulled ahead
of her quite substantially some-
where betweenmiles one andtwo.
Porfirio has been suffering from
an ankle injury. But you wouldnt
knowit by her performances sofar
this year. Her Tomato Festival win
was her sixth in area races. She
won the Hazleton Health and Fit-
ness 5K and the Warrior Trail 5K
inShickshinny bothinApril. She
won the Old Fort 5 Miler in Forty
Fort on Memorial Day. She won
the West Pittston Anthracite 4-

sericordia University a week ago.

who won the Tomato Festival 5K

yesterday as a spectator. McCabe

and struck out three over 4
2/3 innings for Rhode Island.
Warner Robins, Ga. 6,
Rapid City, S.D. 3
Every step around the bases
and every swing at the plate
made Jake Fromms back ache.
The 13-year-old slugger from
Warner Robins, Ga., had the
perfect remedy take a hack
at the first pitch in each of his
first two at-bats.
Fromms homer and four
RBIs Saturday in a win over
Rapid City, S.D., at the Little
League World Series helped
him briefly forget about the
pain in the back he hurt in
practice earlier in the week.
It hurt. Im going to be
honest, it hurt, Fromm said
with a wide grin, showing off
braces. The first-inning homer
to deep center and the third-
inning sacrifice fly to the base
of the center-field wall both
came on first-pitch swings.
Swing early, you dont have
to worry about it, Fromm
said. You put the ball in play,
only one swing hurts you.
Those swings hurt South
Dakota, too, which was elim-
inated from contention.
Taiwan 20, Aruba 3
Chin-Hao Yang led a 19-hit
attack, going for 4 for 4 with
three runs.
The 5-foot-6 Chin-Hao Yang,
one of the tallest players on
the Taiwan team, used his
height to his advantage after
making a leaping stab of Al-
bert Pops line drive to save an
extra-base hit in the third. The
12-year-old Yang also singled
to load the bases before scor-
ing on Chi-Ling Hsus first-
inning double. The game end-
ed after four innings because
of Little Leagues 10-run rule.
After getting shut out and
committing five errors in a
loss Thursday against Mexico,
Taiwans players settled down
playing in front of thousands
of fans on a sunny afternoon.
We were much more com-
fortable today. The weather
was good. We werent as nerv-
ous, Yang said through inter-
preter Sammy Cheng. We got
used to being in front of that
crowd on the field.
Aruba was eliminated, but
the team did have a bright
spot when an overturned call
erased what would have been
the games final out. The play-
ers celebrated after stringing
together three RBI hits with
two outs before a flyout ended
the game.
Reliever Tyler Wilkins
fanned the games final two
batters with the tying run on
second base to save a 4-2 vic-
tory Saturday for Dhahran,
Saudi Arabia, victory over
Rotterdam, Netherlands, to
stay alive in the Little League
World Series.
Saudi Arabia 4,
Netherlands 2
Trailing by two runs, Chris-
topher Gijsbers walked and
Diamond Silberie doubled to
put runners on second and
third for the Netherlands with
one out in the bottom of the
sixth. Tyler Wilkins then came
on in relief to end the rally and
eliminate the Netherlands
from contention.
Tanner Beachy had an RBI
single in the third and Hadi
Fadlallah had an RBI walk in
the fourth, while Marijn Jels-
ma hit a two-run double in the
third inning to account for the
Netherlands runs.

2004 season at No. 5.
Heisman Trophy favorite An-
drew Luck and Stanford were
No. 7.
Rounding out the top 10 are
Oklahomas Big 12 rivals, Texas
A&M (No. 8) and Oklahoma
State (No. 9), and Nebraska (No.
10), in its first season in the Big
Ten after leaving the Big 12.
No. 16 Notre Dame is ranked
for the first time since early No-
vember 2009.
Penn State is unranked.
As for Oklahoma, no matter
where it lands in the preseason,
it always expects to make a run
at a national championship in
the end. It hasnt won it all, how-
ever, since 2000.
Thats whencoachBob Stoops
led the Sooners to their seventh
AP national title in his second
season in Norman. Since then,
Oklahoma has lost three BCS
championship games.
The Sooners have won the AP
national title four times when
they were preseason No. 1(1956,
1974, 1975 and 1985). The last
time they started a season top-
ranked was 2003. That season,
they lost the BCS championship
game to LSU.
Were very matter of fact,
Stoops said this week. All we
think about is doing the work.
Were also very aware were
not much different than about
12, 15 other teams thatll be com-
peting for it that have legitimate
chances to win it. What are we
going to do differently to sepa-
rate ourselves?
Having the combination of
quarterback Landry Jones and
receiver Ryan Broyles is a good
place to start.
Jones passed for 4,718 yards
and 38 touchdowns last season,
his second as a starter, and
Broyles was his favorite target.
The senior had 131 catches for
1,622 yards and 14 touchdowns.
Jones was forced into a start-
ing role two years ago as a red-
shirt freshman when Heisman
Trophy winner Sam Bradford
went down with a shoulder inju-
ry. That was a tough season for
the Sooners, who started ranked
third but finished it 8-5.
Bradford was one of several
key players Oklahoma lost to an
injury that season, and Jones
wasnt the only underclassman
who played a bigger role than ex-
pected.
Nowtwo years fromthat they
have benefited from the maturi-
ty and the experience gained
from being on the field at an
early age, Stoops said. Our (of-
fensive) line was young and now
two years later theyve got expe-
rience and some maturity to
them. Same with Landry Jones.
Same with Ryan Broyles.
Earlier this month, Sooners
fans must have had flashbacks to
Bradfords injury when lineback-
er and leading tackler Travis Le-
wis hurt his left foot in practice.
He likely will miss at least the
first four games, includinga road
trip to Florida State on Sept. 17.
Its a big blow to us, there is
no denying it, Stoops said.
Oklahoma has also been cop-
ing with the death of linebacker
Austin Box, a would-be starter
who overdosed on prescription
painkillers in May.

lead.
Think Vazquez has the Red
Wings number? He has hit 10
homers in 24 games against
Rochester over the past two sea-
sons. This year, he is hitting .386
with 5 homers and 18 RBI in 11
games against Rochester.
Vazquez spent nine seasons
playing in the Mexican League
before signing with the New
York Yankees late in 2008.
Rochester finally broke
through again in the sixth. The
RedWings loadedthe bases with
no outs but again managed only
one run against Mitchell. Brian
Dinkelman hit a sacrifice fly to
center, but Aaron Bates followed
with a 6-4-3 double play.
Miley showed plenty of confi-
dence in his starting pitcher, as
no one was warming up in the
bullpen during the sixth.
It was still early in the game,
Miley said. I gave him a chance
to work through it.
Mitchell gave way to Logan
Kensing in the seventh. Mitchell
allowed the two runs on six hits,
with one walk and four strike-
outs. He allowed only one hit af-
ter the first inning.
Mitchell was making his first
start in10days. Theright-hander
pitched one inning in relief
against Durham on Tuesday.
Kensing allowed a run in the
seventh. The Yankees were aid-
ed by their third double play of
the game.
I think that was the key to the
game, Miley said. It seemed
like we got them at all the right
times.
Kensing gave up another run
in the eighth. Left fielder Kevin
Russo ended the threat with a
diving catch to rob Rene Rivera
of extra bases.
Kevin Whelan picked up his
22nd save with a 1-2-3 ninth.
The series continues today
witha1:05p.m. gameat Frontier.
Adam Warren (6-6, 3.33) is
scheduled to start for the Yan-
kees against Triple-A rookie
Liam Hendriks (2-3, 6.34), an
Australia native.
The teams then head to Moos-
ic, where they will play four
straight from Monday through
Thursday.

PHILADELPHIAEagles wide
receiver Jeremy Maclin and defen-
sive tackle Mike Patterson, who
both recently recovered from seri-
ous health scares, returned to the
team on Saturday and could be in
uniform for Philadelphias regular-
season opener.
EaglescoachAndyReidsaidboth
are actually on target to play in St.
Louis against the Rams on Sept. 11.
Maclinunderwent fivemonthsof
tests from various specialists to de-
termine why he was experiencing
fevers, trouble sleeping and weight
loss. Althoughthe tests were incon-
clusive, doctors on Wednesday
cleared Maclin to return to football
after ruling out anything serious.
Maclinssymptomshavegoneaway.
Patterson suffered a seizure on
Aug. 3 as several thousand fans at
the teams Lehigh University train-
ing camp complex watched.
He was transported to Lehigh
Valley Hospital in nearby Allen-
town, where tests determined that
the seizure was caused by a brain
AVM (arteriovenous malforma-
tion), a prenatal tangling of blood
vessels.
Eagles trainer Rick Burkholder
said on Saturday that Patterson
was clearedbyfour physi-
cians specializing in
brainAVMs toreturn
to football. Burk-
holdersaidhiscondi-
tion will eventually
have to be treated,
but the method
hasnt been deter-
mined.
Maclin wont be-
gin practicing until next week, but
Patterson was back on the field Sat-
urday when the Ea-
gles returned to
their South Phila-
delphia complex
afterathree-week
training
camp.
I havetoget it takencareof even-
tually, but there is no big risk right
now, Patterson said. I dont have
toworry about it. The goodthingis
Imstill talkingtodoctors andfigur-
ing out how to take care of it, but
there is no risk as far as football is
concerned, so Im happy about
that.
Patterson said he lost conscious-
nessduringhisseizureandwokeup
intheambulance. Intheinitial after-
math of the seizure, he wondered
whether he would be able to play
again. Patterson, 28, has played in
95 games, more than anybody on
the Eagles roster.
Its not like this is something ev-
erybody deals with all the time, he
said. We had to take time, learn
about it and find out details. We
were able to get it kind of focused
and able to calm me down, and be
abletogoout thereandplayagain.
Burkholder said Patterson is on
medication to control the seizures.
Playingfootball doesntposeanyad-
ditional risk.
Hes been told by all physicians
that its OK to wait until the end of
the season (for treatment), Burk-
holdersaid. Werecomfortable, hes
comfortable.

GREENSBURG Terrelle Pryor worked
out for 17 NFLteams Saturday and said after-
ward he wouldnt appeal his five-week sus-
pension at the start of the NFL season.
With the former Ohio State quarterback
trying to prove he should be taken in Mon-
days supplemental draft, spectators includ-
ed Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin
and director of football operations Kevin Col-
bert and Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay.
Pryor, appearing in top shape, worked out
at a high school stadium near his hometown
of Jeannette, Pa. He ran the 40-yard dash in
4.36 seconds and threw an array of passes.
I would like the opportunity to play quar-
terback, he said, but Ill do anything that a
team needs me to do to win.
Former Ohio State coach Jim Tressel also
made an appearance, supporting his former
star player after resigning under pressure
amid an NCAA investigation that Pryor and
others improperly sold memorabilia.
Pryor left school for the NFLafter Tressels
departure.
Did great, Tressel said of the 6-foot-5,
232-pound Pryor. He would help lots of
teams.
The NFL allowed Pryor into the draft
Thursday with the caveat that he wouldnt be
allowed to practice for the teamthat selected
him until Week 6. The quarterback would
have faced a five-game suspension had he
stayed at Ohio State.
Pryors agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told The
Associated Press on Thursday that we ac-
cept that voluntarily. But the players attor-
ney, David Cornwell, told ESPN Radio on
Friday that it was likely the five-game puni-
shment would be appealed once Pryor
signed an NFL contract. Pryor said Saturday
there would be no appeal. He also said he
would sign with any team that picked him in
the supplemental draft instead of trying his
chances again in the regular draft in the
spring.

INDIANAPOLIS Count
Indianapolis Colts owner Jim
Irsay among those worried
about Peyton Mannings neck.
On Saturday morning, Irsay
used his Twitter account to
acknowledge there is a possibil-
ity the Colts will start the sea-
son without their No. 1quarter-
back.
We r evaluating the QB
sitch,(hash)18 healing but we
must 2 b prepared 4 early sea-
son possibility without him-
,defense has 2 pick it up,big
time!, Irsay wrote.
Its a notion that will un-
doubtedly make Colts fans
cringe and, until now, seemed
inconceivable.
Manning, who signed a five-
year, $90 million contract last
month, is the only four-time
MVP in NFL history.
Since being the No. 1overall
pick in the1998 draft, Manning
has started all 208 regular-
season games and19 more in
the playoffs. His streak of 227
consecutive games is the sec-
ond-longest for a quarterback in
league history behind only
Brett Favre.
But the recovery fromMay
surgery, the second operation
on his neck in15 months, has
been slow. Manning attributed
part of the problemwith not
being able to work out with
teamofficials during the
4
1
2-month lockout.
The only other time one of
his starts appeared to be in
jeopardy was in 2008 when
Manning needed two oper-
ations to remove an infected
bursa sac fromhis left knee. He
missed all of training camp and
the entire preseason, then
struggled early in the regular
season before winning his third
MVP Award.
PITTSBURGHSTEELERS
PITTSBURGHSteelers
cornerback Ike Taylor has been
pleased with the backups per-
formance while hes been out
after left thumb surgery.
WilliamGay and Keenan
Lewis started against the Phila-
delphia Eagles on Thursday
night. First-year player Dono-
van Warren has had a good
preseason.
Taylor said he was still on
schedule to return for the sea-
son opener at Baltimore.
Ive been working hard to
stay in shape, he said.
The Steelers usually keep10
defensive backs with six corner-
backs and four safeties. The
four safeties are Troy Polamalu,
Ryan Clark, Ryan Mundy and
Will Allen. The regular starting
corners, Taylor and Bryant
McFadden, along with top
reserve Gay should be locks
since they are the only ones
with experience. But the Steel-
ers also like Warren and third-
round pick Curtis Brown.
Warren did not finish practice
Saturday because of a tight hip
flexor, coach Mike Tomlin said.
I feel like Ive tried to make
the most of my opportunities,
maximizing my reps and doing
what the coaches have asked
me to do, Warren said. I want
to go out there and make plays
to showthe guys that I know
this defense, that Imnot just a
fast learner, but I also can play
the game.
BALTIMORERAVENS
BALTIMOREBaltimore
Ravens wide receiver David
Reed overcame a rough start
against the Kansas City Chiefs
on Friday night to make a
strong debut in his first game
since offseason wrist surgery.
Reed dropped his first pass
fromrookie quarterback Tyrod
Taylor, but redeemed himself
by tying Lee Evans as the Rav-
ens leading receiver with three
receptions for 68 yards during a
31-13 preseason win at M&T
Bank Stadium.
I was just a little anxious,
Reed said. I sawTyrod giving
me that look, and it was a good
feeling. Then, I just wanted to
catch it so bad and get up the
field and make a move that I
moved too fast and dropped the
ball.
Reed set up two touchdowns
with catches of 41and18 yards,
and drewa 25-yard pass-in-
terference penalty.
The first drop, obviously I
wasnt too happy with, Ravens
coach John Harbaugh said.
And then he came back and
made the very next catch and
then Tyrod came to himagain
with a big play. To see the guy
come up with that play was
really huge. For only practicing
a fewdays, that was great to
see.

rookie running back Ryan Wil-

early next week to repair a
ruptured patella tendon in his

The season-ending injury for
the second-round draft pick out
of Virginia Tech came in the
Cardinals 28-20 loss at Green
Bay Friday night. Coach Ken
Whisenhunt says the teamwill
be looking to sign a running
back soon, and may keep look-
ing as other teams make roster
cuts.
Cardinals coaches had been
impressed with Williams in
training camp, with his hard-
running style and ability to
make cuts. His addition was a
major reason the teamwas
willing to trade TimHightower
to the Washington Redskins.

WASHINGTON John Beck uttered
words that seemed out of place in August.
Asked when he first knew he might be in
for a good night in his first major audition for
the Washington Redskins starting quarter-
back job, he had an interesting answer.
Really, in pregame, I felt our team came
ready to play, Beck said. I felt like immedi-
ately I could tell from the offensive line and
skill players that they were ready. And I think
that when youre in warmups and you feel
that, you just want to carry it over into the
game. I feel like it started even before that
first play.
OK, thats cliche stuff after a big victory, or
maybe even after a routine regular-season
win, but when was the last time something
like that was said about an exhibition game?
It shows just howimportant the preseason
is to Beck in particular and the Redskins in
general. Their first two opponents, Pitts-
burgh and Indianapolis, are accomplished
teams with little to prove, and it could be eas-
ily claimedthat they mailedit inor at least
failed to generate much of a came ready to
play vibe.
Not Washington. A16-7 win over the Steel-
ers was followed by a 16-3 victory Friday
night over the Colts. The Redskins have out-
gained the opposition by a staggering margin
of 867-336. The way NFL fans tend to overre-
act, there are surely fans in the nations cap-
ital already eyeinga secondtriptoIndianapo-
lis in early February.
Its far too early for that, obviously, but
there are reasons for optimism from the two
games. The defense continues to look strong,
even with five starters missing with various
injuries. And while fans will surely settle for
either Beckor RexGrossmanprovingworthy
of the startingjob, it turns out theyre bothoff
to a good start.
Grossman completed 19 of 26 passes for
207 yards in the first half against the Steelers.
Beck countered with a 14-for-17 performance
for140 yards inthe first half against the Colts.
So where do things stand now? Stay tuned.
I know they have confidence in him be-
cause they voiced that to me, Beck said. So
I know that theyre confident in him. I hope
theyre confident in me. I dont knowhowits
going to play out.
Its hard to fault coach Mike Shanahan for
wanting to see a strong preseason. There are
so many new key players that need to get
used to working together. Besides, the fran-
chise needs anypsychological boost it canget
after three straight years in last place.
And, of course, BeckandGrossmanaremo-
tivated to do well as they fight for an impor-
tant role. Its one Beck has never held before
the No. 1 QB spot at the start of a season.
Its always worth repeating that he hasnt ap-
peared in a regular-season game since 2007,
and hes pumped to be around a coach who
believes in him.

C O L L E G E F O O T B A L L
CORAL GABLES, Fla. A sports
bar is packed with Hurricanes boosters,
most of whom are wearing their teams
orange and green colors. They sponta-
neously break into chanting their un-
official anthem, Its great ... to be ... a
Mi-a-mi Hurr-i-cane!
As they sing, the sight of Nevin Sha-
piro running into an Orange Bowl end
zone and getting chased off by a securi-
ty guard pops onto nearby televisions.
Groans rise from the crowd.
For Miami football and its fans,
theres just no getting away from The
Scandal. The sports bar scene happened
at a long-scheduled gathering in Palm
Beach County, where Hurricanes fans
tried generating enthusiasm for the new
season. A few days ago, that would have
been easy. Considering this get-together
came two days after Yahoo Sports pub-
lished its report that Shapiro the
mastermind of a $930 million Ponzi
scheme provided money, sex, cars
and gifts to 72 players over a nine-year
period ending in 2010, its nearly impos-
sible.
The NCAA is investigating what
happened. Theres plenty to sift
through. How did this happen? Who let
this happen? Why did Shapiro have
such access? Did anyone check his
background? And perhaps most impor-
tant, how did these secrets, if true,
remain secrets for so many years?
Simple questions, lacking simple
answers.
It was one guy with a lot of money,
said former Miami quarterback Steve
Walsh, who led the Hurricanes to the
1987 national title and is now a high
school coach in West Palm Beach, Fla.
And it wasnt his, so he was going to
spend it freely. Thats the other part of
it. Its so difficult for an athlete. If some
guy wants to buy you drinks, Sure!
Youre not going to say, Who are you?
And now the guys sitting in prison. In
there, he can allege all he wants.
Shapiro is serving a 20-year sentence
for his crimes, with federal officials
saying he is scheduled to be released in
2027. He already is serving his penalty.
It could be months before Miami knows
what penalty, if any, it will face for hav-
ing a rogue booster first try to befriend,
then bring down, dozens of Hurricanes
over the span of nearly a decade.
The current Hurricanes implicated by
Shapiro in the Yahoo Sports story are
quarterback Jacory Harris, safeties
Vaughn Telemaque and Ray Ray Arm-
strong, receivers Travis Benjamin and
Aldarius Johnson, defensive linemen
Marcus Forston, Olivier Vernon, Marcus
Robinson and Adewale Ojomo, tight
end Dyron Dye, defensive back JoJo
Nicholas and linebacker Sean Spence.
They have not spoken publicly about
the matter.
* * * *
Miamis Hurricane Club has nine
levels of giving, and each step up the
ladder means better gifts and greater
access to the athletic department. The
top levels ($30,000 or more) provide
just about anything a fan would want
sideline passes, VIP passes, exclusive
reception invitations, even interacting
with a student-athlete.
Shapiro promised plenty, including a
$150,000 pledge for a student-athlete
lounge that was supposed to bear his
name. He made other donations as well,
including $50,000 to mens basketball.
Shapiro became a highly valued do-
nor. When he wanted something like
seeing practice, typically someone
would at least listen.The way it would
work is, someone from the Hurricane
Club or whatever would walk him to
the field and tell the security guards
and the coaches who he was and why
he was there, said an athletic depart-
ment employee, speaking on condition
of anonymity because of the ongoing
investigations by both the NCAA and
the university. It didnt happen a lot.
One day, I was out there and saw the
guy trying to get into a huddle. Never
saw that before by anyone.
That incident happened while Larry
Coker coached the Hurricanes.
When asked about Shapiro on Friday,
Coker told The Associated Press he
knew about the former booster during
his time at Miami but never interacted
with him. He didnt elaborate further.
When Randy Shannon took over as
coach, Shapiros access to practice stop-
ped. Shannon played at Miami in the
1980s and told confidants that he had
seen people like Shapiro around the
program before, warning assistant
coaches that if he ever learned they
interacted with the booster, he would
fire them personally.
Randy told everyone, players and
coaches, said a former football assist-
ant coach, who spoke on condition of
anonymity because he expects to be
interviewed by the NCAA. Deal with
him at your own risk. He told me per-
sonally, The guys poison. Bad news.
Trouble. And we listened. So then the
guy started trying to reach out to play-
ers directly more and more. They would
come to us and complain that theyd go
bowling and hed show up. It was a
running joke around here. Wed ask,
See your stalker last night?
Shannon, who was fired by Miami in
November, declined comment when
reached by The Associated Press. An-
other member of his staff, also speaking
on condition of anonymity, confirmed
that Shannon was not an ally of Shapi-
ro.
But, according to Shapiro, some play-
ers hung out with him anyway a
thrill for someone who has described
himself as a lifelong Hurricanes fan. He
was even featured in 1992 by The Mia-
mi Herald, which detailed his antics as
he sat in the stands watching Miami
play rival Florida State in a particularly
close game not decided until the final
moments. He screamed, We are the
gods of college football!
Whether he still feels that way is
anyones guess. This much is clear: Hes
gone from fan to pariah in a hurry.

SOUTHBEND, Ind. Freshman Ever-
ett Golson showed off his considerable
skills Friday at the end of a Notre Dame
scrimmage that featured reserves and
freshmen.
He made a perfect pass, leading the re-
ceiver Deion Walker, who made a nice
grab for a long gain down the sideline.
And then Golson showed off his speed by
carrying it in for a touchdown.
Maybe Golson is the quarterback of the
future for the Irish in Brian Kellys spread
offense. But this season hes expected to
mostly be a spectator as Dayne Crist or
Tommy Rees run the offense. Kelly said
Friday that hell announce the starter, ei-
ther Crist or Rees, on Tuesday.
Golson, who was a standout football
and basketball player at Myrtle Beach,
S.C., High, enrolled early at Notre Dame
and got to participate in spring drills. But
hes got a long way to go before hes run-
ning the Irish offense for real.
I feel more comfortable. When I first
came in in the spring it was a little bit too
much for me, just learning the playbook
andtrying to ready the defense andevery-
thing, Golsonsaid. It has sloweddowna
little bit since I gained that knowledge
about the playbook.
Now Golson is trying to master the
checkoffs and reads in Kellys intricate of-
fense while also learning to take care of
the football.
Golson and sophomore Andrew Hen-
drix were part of the quarterback derby
when it started in preseason camp, but
Crist and Rees with their experience
quickly jumped ahead.
Everett had a couple of flashes today,
Kelly said, quickly adding that when Gol-
son had an opportunity to loft a ball to a
receiver in the end zone, he threw a line
drive pass instead and it was intercepted.
There are great things from both of
these kids, he said of the two backups.
We cant put them in there yet because
they are not able to take great care of the
football. Both of these kids have huge up-
sides. Theyre just not ready to do it on a
consistent basis.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. Alaba-
ma is seeking a go-to receiver, a
guy with the talent, the drive and
the focus to handle high-pressure
situations at a powerhouse pro-
gram
A guy like Julio Jones. Or may-
be DeAndrew White?
The Crimson Tide redshirt
freshmanis a longway fromearn-
ing the designation held the past
three seasons by Jones, a first-
round NFL draft pick. But he has
been there, and he has done that.
Like the game where North
Shore High School in Houston
desperately needed a touchdown
to break the Texas state record of
72 regular-season victories in a
row, held by ex-Tide quarterback
Greg McElroys alma mater,
Southlake Carroll.
With (26) seconds left, he
caught a dig route and broke two
tackles to score for us to win,
North Side coach David Aymond
recalled Friday.
Three years later, White is
catching balls and the attention
of his teammates and, more im-
portantly, Alabama coach Nick
Saban during preseason camp.
Alabama has more experi-
enced candidates to fill Jones
role, such as Marquis Maze and
Darius Hanks. But Hanks has to
sit out the first two games under
the NCAAparticipation rule, and
junior college transfer Duron
Carters academic status remains
up inthe air two weeks before the
opener with Kent State.
Saban, meanwhile, has men-
tioned White several times since
camp opened. And thats a good
thing.
Its a real good indicator when
his name keeps coming up that
hes progressing very well, Sa-
ban said. Hes one of the most
difficult guys that we have to cov-
er. Hes done a pretty good job of
being consistent catching the
football.
Tide linebacker Nico Johnson
can attest to the hard-to-cover
part of the equationfor the 6-foot,
181-pounder.
Hes real fast, Johnson said.
Acouple of times I tried to cover
him, but that wasnt happening.
Hes really making plays out
there and he can help our team
this year. Hes just working hard
trying to get better.
Johnson shouldnt feel bad
about being unable to keep up
with White, who was the Texas
Class 5A 200-meter champion in
2008. Actually, Aymondhas a sto-
ry about that one too.
He said a University of Texas-
bound senior had him by about 5
yards with 20 yards to go and
DeAndrew caught him.
Its sheer will, Aymond said.
He refuses to lose. He has a hate
for losing.
White didnt post huge num-
bers on the football field in a run-
oriented offense. He caught 32
passes for 473 yards and nine
touchdowns, a year after averag-
ing 23.6 yards on 34 catches.
But he was rated the nations
No. 6 receiver prospect by Super-
Prep. Aymond said North Shore
has placed154 players in colleges
over the past 17 years, including
65 in the Football Bowl Subdivi-
sion, with guys currently at
schools like Texas and Oklahoma
State.
Hes one of the most prolific
athletes weve ever hadhere, Ay-
mondsaid. He was the heart and
soul of that trackteaminterms of
leadership. He can really run.
Hes got great leapingability. Hes
got great hands, and hell make
the play that you think he cant
make and it will always be the
most opportune time, when you
needit themost. Thats oneof the
attributes of big-time players.
When its on the line, thats
whose number you want to dial.

backs, LeSean McCoy and Dion
Lewis, dropped by the Panthers
South Side practice facility
Thursday morning, a mere 48
hours after Heisman Trophy win-
ner Tony Dorsett addressed the
team.
Its always good to talk to
great backs, somebody that you
can relate to, Graham said.
The 5-foot-9, 195-pound Gra-
ham has all the tools to become
Pitts next great feature back, a
role once occupied by Dorsett
and the two current pros, McCoy
and Lewis, who were in town for
the Steelers preseasongame that
night against the Philadelphia
Eagles.
And with first-year coach Todd
Grahampromisingtorunplays at
warp speed, the numbers could
pile up in a hurry for Graham,
whose name has already been at-
tached to several preseason All-
Big East honors.
I think Ray is ready to take
that (feature back) role on, said
co-offensive coordinator Calvin
Magee, who also works with the
teams running backs. Hes quiet
about it, but I think he under-
stands the role and hes focused
on it.
If Graham an Elizabeth,
N.J., native who ran for 922 yards
and eight touchdowns as Lewis
backup in 2010 can be as pro-
ductive as his predecessors, it
will goa longwaytowardflipping
the national perception of Pitt
again.
Once known for churning out
running backs like Dorsett, Cur-
tis Martin and Craig Ironhead
Heyward, Pitt transformed into a
wide receiver factory a decade
ago, with Latef Grim, Antonio
Bryant and Larry Fitzgerald gain-
ing national exposure.
Recent first-round pick Jon
Baldwin aside, the succession of
McCoy, Lewis and Grahamcould
re-establish Pitts status as a run-
ning backs dream.
Graham has appeared in all 25
games of his college career and
started twice last fall, as Pitt fin-
ished8-5 andsettledfor aninvita-
tion to the BBVACompass Bowl.
Graham secured a spot next to
Dorsett whenhe put up277yards
during a 44-17 win over Florida
International on Oct. 2, second
only to Dorsetts school-record
303 against Notre Dame in 1975.
Ray has the ability to be a
great back, Magee said. Hes
shown the ability to be a feature
guy, but theexpectationis that he
shows up every day to work and
be what we need him to be. And
in our case, we need him to be a
guy that carries a heavy load.
Graham spoke with McCoy
and Lewis for about 20 minutes
in the teams locker room Thurs-
day before the twopros hadtode-
part for meetings not that they
could have talked shop all that
easily.
P I T T S B U R G H
Graham is
embracing
legacy
Running back hopes to
become Panthers latest
top-notch runner.

MASON, Ohio Andy Mur-
ray overcame a pair of break
points late in the second set,
then another in the tiebreaker,
to defeat American Mardy Fish
6-3, 7-6 (8) Saturday and ad-
vance to the final at the Western
& Southern Open.
Murray will play the winner
of the semifinal between No. 1
Novak Djokovic and Tomas Ber-
dych, who advanced despite a
sore right shoulder.
The Scotsman held on during
a 2-hour, 18-minute match on a
hot, humid afternoon. Murray
repeatedly bent over and
grabbed the back of his legs dur-
ing a close second set that in-
cluded six service breaks.
Murray will be trying for only
his second tournament win this
season. He won the title at the
Queens Club in June.
Murray lost his opening
match in Montreal last week,
but recovered quickly in Cincin-
nati, where he reached the semi-
finals for the fifth time in his
past six tournaments. He has re-
ached only two finals at the
Queens Club and the Australian
Open, where he lost to Djokov-
ic.
Now, he gets a chance for his
second title in Cincinnati he
also won it in 2008, his first
Masters series championship.
This one was a struggle.
Fish has gotten the better of
his matches against Murray late-
ly, beating him three times last
year. Plus, he was on one of the
best spurts of his career, win-
ning 14 of his last 16 matches
coming in. He reached the semi-
finals with one of the best wins
of his career, beating No. 2 Ra-
fael Nadal for the first time in
seven matches.
The top-ranked American
showed right away how badly
he wanted to reach the Cincin-
nati finals for a second year in a
row. During the fourth game,
Fish came to the net and dived
while trying to make a return,
landing hard on his right knee.
Blood trickled from two scrapes
by the knee for the rest of the
game, which Murray won to
break serve and go up 3-1.
It was a telling moment. Fish
was the only player who hadnt
lost a game off his serve during
the tournament. It wouldnt be
so easy this time. His game was
a little off, and grit would take
him only so far he wound up
getting his serve broken four
times overall.
Murray stayed at the baseline
and kept Fish off-balance the
American had 13 unforced er-
rors in the first set. Murray
came to the net only once dur-
ing the set, putting away an
overhead in the clinching game.
Then, he broke Fish to start
the second set, quieting a crowd
that was trying to rally him. Fish
broke right back, allowing a
chance to gain some momen-
tum. From then on, it was a mat-
ter of saving points to keep it
going, and Murray was a little
better at it.
There were four straight
breaks, six in all, during the sec-
ond set.
Murray held serve to tie it at
5, then had a triple break point
opportunity in the next game.
Fish escaped with the help of
another ace, then took advan-
tage of a couple of errant shots
to give himself a chance to
break Murray and finish off the
set. He wasted two break points,
sending it to a tiebreaker.

One Breathtaking Course
BROOKLYN, Mich. Kevin
Harvick sped past Mark Martin
and Parker Kligerman on the in-
side to take the lead, moving into
the clear just before the other
two drivers brushed against each
other, starting a five-car wreck.
I had cleared them about
three quarters of the way
through the corner, and by the
time I got tothe wall, I sawthe 32
(Martin) sideways and wreck-
ing, Harvick said. It was just a
big plume of smoke in the mir-
ror.
Harvick stayed out of danger
after that, holding off Timothy
Peters to winthe NASCARTruck
Series race at Michigan Interna-
tional Speedway on Saturday. It
was his second consecutive win
in the series and the 11th of his
career. Harvick, who won at Po-
cono Raceway earlier this
month, has finished in the top
five in all four of his 2011races on
this circuit.
Immediately after Harvick
passed Martin and Kligerman in
his No. 2 Chevrolet, Kligerman
made contact with Martin, and
Austin Dillon was also caught up
in the crash. Moments later, Kli-
german apparently had a hard
time seeing out of his car be-
cause of damage to the front of it,
and he rear-ended Dillon.
The wreck led to a caution on
lap 91, and there was another af-
ter that fromlaps 98-100 before a
green-white checkered finish.
Its definitely action packed,
Peters said. The fans definitely
got their moneys worth. Its fun
coming here.
Peters earned his seventh
top-10 finish of the year. Hes
fourth in the points standings.
Miguel Paludo finished a career-
best third in Saturdays race.
I learned a lot running with
Harvick the last two restarts,
Paludo said. He used the ex-
treme bottomon the first restart,
and the second one, I tried to do
it. So were always learning. Its a
tough series.

coach John Thompson III said he
has made peace with the coach of
a Chinese basketball team over a
bench-clearing brawl and denies
the melee carried any political
connotations.
Thompson said Saturday that
he met with the Bayi Rockets
coach on Friday and they shook
hands and chatted about basket-
ball and other matters.
Thompson doesnt think the
brawl in Beijing on Thursday had
any political overtones. The
Rockets are affiliated with Chi-
nas military, and the fight
seemed to embody often conten-
tious U.S.-China relations on the
second day of a highly publicized
visit by Vice President Joe Biden.
Beijing is behind us, man,
Thompson said Saturday, a day
after flying to Shanghai as part of
a10-daygoodwill trip. Weareex-
cited to be here in Shanghai. And
our team was invited to come
here to the city of Shanghai to be
part of this. Beijing is over.
Asked what he told his players,
Thompson said: I told them,
Lets go to Shanghai and have
fun.
While China likes to use sports
to promote diplomacy, at times
that has been affected by violent
flare-ups byplayers andfans. Ten-
sions ran high Thursday when
referees began calling the Hoyas
for numerous fouls.
After Bayi players knocked
guard Jason Clark to the ground,
the melee ensued with players
throwing punches and chairs.
The Hoyas left the court as fans
threw water bottles at them, the
score tied at 64.
Coaches and players represen-
tatives fromthe twoteams met at
Beijings airport Friday to recon-
cile.
Yeah, we just got together and
shook hands and their coach and
me talked about things other
than basketball, about families,
and we both are ready to move
on, Thompson said.
While the Hoyas were original-
ly scheduled to play the Rockets
again on Sunday in Shanghai,
that match was canceled prior to
Thursdays fight. Instead, Geor-
getown will face the Liaoning Di-
nosaurs.
We expect good competition
against a very difficult team,
Thompson said.

Lehigh Valley Extravaganza to feature aerial archery target launcher
The Times Leader staff
Dave Koval wont be at work on Sept
1.
The Thornhurst resident already told
his employer that he is taking the day
off, to pursue a passion.
Thursday, Sept. 1, is the first day of
dove season. Its the kick-off for the fall
and winter hunting seasons that will
follow, and its a day that Koval has
been anticipating all summer.
Theres a lot of action, which is ex-
citing. Plus, its a type of hunting where
you can sit with your partner and talk
or take a walk and try to flush some
doves, Koval said. Its a good way to
get the hunting seasons started after a
long summer of waiting.
This years dove season is split into
three segments. The first season runs
from Sept. 1 to Oct. 1, and the second
and third splits will be on Oct. 29 to
Nov. 26, and Dec. 26 to Jan. 4. In all
three seasons, the daily bag limit will be
15, and the possession limit will be 30.
Kovals focuses his dove hunting on
farm areas. He does spend part of the
day trying to flush doves from the
fields, but the bulk of
Kovals time is spent
setting up along hedge-
rows waiting for the fast-
flying birds to cross over.
Sitting is the most
successful way to hunt
doves, he said. I like to
position under the cover
of a treeline and watch
open fields that have
woods and water nearby.
Another component of
Kovals dove hunting is
his dog, Chase.
The yellow lab is
trained to retrieve any
doves that are shot, and
on more than one occa-
sion Chase has found
birds that Koval said
wouldve been tough to
recover.
A lot of times well
hunt in a field where
there are woods nearby.
The doves fly toward us
heading to the woods,
and when they fall into the forested
area it would be tough for me to find
them, Koval said. Chase gets them
without a problem, so no game is wast-
ed.
Koval uses a 12-gauge shotgun with a
modified choke and shells loaded with
No. 7 shot for doves. Because of the
birds keen eyesight, Koval dresses in
full camoflague and sets up under trees
to provide more cover.
The best time to be out there is the
early morning and mid-afternoon after
the day cools down, Koval said. The
doves arent as active when its real
hot.

Dove season opens on Sept. 1. Hunting the fast flying birds is a great way for hunters to hone their
skills for the upcoming fall and winter hunting seasons.
PENNSYLVANIA GAME COMMISSION
Canada geese season
opens Sept. 1
The early statewide season for resident
Canada geese also opens on Sept. 1, and
continues through Sept. 24. The early
season retains a daily bag limit of eight
Canada geese and possession limit of 16.
The Youth Waterfowl Days, which
previously were limited to one day, will
be held on Saturday Sept. 17 and 24
andare open to those 12- to 15-years-old
who hold a junior hunting license. To
participate, a youngster must be
accompanied by an adult, who may assist
the youth in calling, duck identification
and other aspects of the hunt.During this
special two day-long hunts, youth can
harvest ducks, mergansers, coots and
moorhens.
In addition, because the Youth Waterfowl
Days and the early Canada goose season
overlap this year, youth and the adults
accompanying them may harvest Canada
geese.The daily limit for the Youth
Waterfowl Days for Canada geese is the
same as the daily limit for adults in the
area being hunted.
Youth Waterfowl Days bag limits for
ducks, mergansers and coots will be
consistent with the limit for the regular
season.
Theres a lot of action, which
is exciting. Plus, its a type of
hunting where you can sit with
your partner and talk or take a
walk and try to flush some
doves,

On dove season
A recent study by the Pennsylvania Game
Commission has shed some light on the
mysterious decline of muskrat populations
that has been occurring in the state as well
as throughout the eastern U.S. and Canada.
In the year-long study, which concluded
on June 30, PGC officials examined 8,924
muskrat pelts to determine if reproduction
and/or recruitment were reasons for the
decline.
The findings showed that the age ratio
between juvenile and adult muskrats (eight
juveniles to three adults) was similar to
data collected 30 years ago when muskrat
populations were much higher. The per-
centage of adults in the pelts examined 11
percent, was slightly lower than the 15 per-
cent figure collected from 1984 to 1991.
Because adults didnt show an increase in
the population, reproductive and recruit-
ment issues were ruled out as reasons for
the decline.
Thats important because it helps us fo-
cus on other areas, said Tom Hardisky, a
PGC wildlife biologist.
Because reproduction appears fine, Har-
disky said they are ruling out the possibility
that pharmaceuticals in the water were a
cause. Pharmaceuticals in waterways have
impacted reproduction of fish and amphib-
ians in certain areas.
Hardisky said the muskrat decline is re-
flected in harvests from trappers over the
years. From 1980 to 1983 the average an-
nual muskrat harvest in the state was more
than 720,000. From 1984 to 1991 a time
when trapping pressure decreased, the aver-
age yearly harvest dropped to 301,329.
In 2010 the muskrat harvest was 58,295.
Hardisky said the figure is alarming be-
cause, although trapping pressure isnt
what it once was, the number of trappers
have stabilized yet the harvest has contin-
ued to drop.
Hardisky believes that much of the mor-
tality is occurring as juvenile muskrats en-
ter into adulthood and arent surviving
through the winter into the spring.
The number of breeding adults is down,
and theyre really getting hammered, Har-
disky said. The whole eastern U.S. and
Canada is experiencing the same thing.
There has to be a common denominator
that we need to identify.
Hardisky is hoping to obtain approval
from the PGC board and funding to per-
form another study. If granted, Hardisky
said the study will try to pinpoint when the
mortality is taking place and what is the
cause.
Predators are an obvious reason, he said.
We need to find out the cause that is
making predators so effective at certain
times, Hardisky said. We need to pinpoint
why its happening.
PENNSYLVANIA GAME COMMISSION
With muskrat populations continuing to
decline across the eastern U.S. and Cana-
da, wildlife officials are continuing to
search for a cause. A recent study by the
Pennsylvania Game Commission ruled out
any issues with reproduction or recruit-

HAVANA Cubas version of
the New York Yankees, the pow-
erhouse Industriales, won the
countrys 2010 baseball cham-
pionship with lights-out pitching
by Armando Rivero and Joan So-
carras and stellar hitting fromLe-
guim Barroso.
All three players have since de-
fected, along with four other
members of the championship
squad, leaving the punchless
team struggling to a losing sea-
son this year.
Those were hardly isolated
cases. Five National Ballet danc-
ers stayedbehindinTorontoafter
a performance in March. In June,
soccer player Yosniel Mesa shim-
mieddownahotel fireescapeand
hopped into a waiting car in
North Carolina.
Communist-run Cuba has al-
ways had a problem keeping its
prodigious sports and cultural
talent on the island, not to men-
tion its doctors, lawyers and oth-
er professionals.
There now is new talk about
howtocope withthe problem. As
President Raul Castros govern-
ment embarks on a wide-ranging
initiative to let more people work
for themselves instead of the
state, there are increasing calls
for the same to apply in sports.
Cuba must find a way to stop
the robbery of players, said the
legendary former baseball player
Victor Mesa, in comments re-
portedinstate media. While hun-
dreds of thousands of Cubans
suddenly are going into business
for themselves, he said, it is un-
fortunate that there is no pro-
posal to contract athletes to play
abroad.
Mesa, who now manages the
team Matanzas in the Cuban
league, said he favors letting Cu-
bans play in Venezuela, Nicara-
gua, Japan, South Korea or Mex-
ico after eight seasons at home.
He did not mention Major
League Baseball.
His comments reflected the
chatter among Cuban athletes,
coaches and fans, but it was sig-
nificant that they were even pub-
lished. In the past, sports people
have gotten into trouble for dis-
putingthe official line, andtalkof
defectors was discouraged.
Now, Mesa is not alone in air-
ing his views.
Times change ... There are
Cuban players who have wanted
to test their luck, Rey Vicente
Anglada, former manager of In-
dustriales and the Cuban nation-
al team, told Prensa Latina.
They see themselves as having
possibilities and see others who
have done well.
I dont see howthat can stop,
Anglada added.
Delegates at Aprils Communi-
st Party summit on economic re-
forms approved the general idea
of a reference to athletes being
hired abroad, according to an of-
ficial report on the debate, al-
though the idea remains under
discussion.
There is precedent: In 1999,
the Cuban Sports Institute al-
lowed a few volleyball and base-
ball players to work abroad, espe-
cially at the end of their careers,
at salaries negotiated by officials.
But that opening was shut in
2005.
Most Cuban sports players get
monthly government salaries of
$16. Olympic medalists receive
an additional lifetime monthly
stipend: $300 for gold medal win-
ners and less for other medalists.
The government pays for en-
tertainment, education, health,
travel, housing and cars.
But athletes take notice when
someone like hard-throwing
pitcher Aroldis Chapman leaves
the island and signs a five-year
contract with the Cincinnati
Reds for $30 million.
Defections drew rare mention
recently in state newspapers
Granma and Juventud Rebelde,
which detailed the abandon-
ment by lefty pitcher and reign-
ing league rookie of the year Ge-
rardo Concepcion during a tour-
nament in the Netherlands. After
his departure, the national team
lost the championship game to
Taiwan.
The papers also reported that
captain Roberlandy Simon and
players Joandry Leal and Raydel
Hierrezuelo had quit the national
volleyball team that was the run-
ner-up at the 2010 World Cham-
pionshipinItaly. Thereports said
they left the team for personal
reasons, but their absence
sparked rumors they wanted to
defect. Hierrezuelo has since re-
turned to the squad. The Associ-
ated Press was unable to speak
with the three.
Six volleyball players defected
from the national team in 2001
during a tournament in Belgium,
the beginning of an exodus of
many others.
All volleyball stars dream of
the biggest leagues, said French
coach Philippe Blain, whose
team has played Cuba four times
this season. For this, the Cubans
leave, and for them, theres the
athletic aspect and financial in-
centives.
Fromthebeginningof therevo-
lution he fomented more than 50
years ago, baseball-loving Fidel
Castro placed high value on
sporting and cultural talent to
burnish his cause abroad.
Cuba eliminated for-profit
sports in1961, but Castro put sig-
nificant resources into a highly
organized system of free educa-
tion and training. Successful ath-
letes are considered heroes and
national treasures.
When offered millions of dol-
lars to fight Joe Frazier for the
heavyweight title in 1972, Cuban
boxer Teofilo Stevenson famous-
ly responded, What is $1million
compared to the love of 8 million
Cubans?
Cuba has often punched above
its weight in amateur competi-
tions. At the 1992 Olympics in
Barcelona, this island of 11 mil-
lion people was fifth in gold med-
als. But threeyears agoinBeijing,
it came in 28th as a wave of defec-
tions was felt.
There is no official tally of how
many have left, but avid fans no-
tice when stars names suddenly
disappear from the roster for in-
ternational tournaments. Hun-
dreds of athletes are believed to
have abandoned the country in
the last decade, a throat-slitting
against Cuba robbing us of
minds, muscles andbones, Fidel
Castro raged in a 2008 opinion
column.
Speaking after his defection,
Yosniel Mesa, the soccer player,
said staying in Cuba would have
meant setting aside his dreams of
going professional and possibly
earning millions of dollars.
He recounted how his Cuban
coaches were in his hotel lobby
late at night whenhe sneakedout
of his room to a fire escape.
I brought a glass in my hand
because if they saw me, I could
say I was going for ice, Mesa
said.

Defections have hurt
countrys efforts on
international level.

BLAIRMORE, Alberta
Nearly1,000 people remembered
Rick Rypien on Saturday in the
arena where the Winnipeg Jets
forward played his minor hockey.
Just days after the 27-year-old
tough guy died suddenly in his
southern Alberta home, a large
crowdturnedout ona bright sun-
ny day at Albert Stella Arena for
Rypiens funeral.
Rypien, who last played with
the Vancouver Canucks, died
Monday at his offseason home in
Crowsnest Pass, Alberta, where a
police official said a call was an-
swered for a sudden and non-
suspicious death.
Rypien, whostruggledwithde-
pression, had signed with the
Jets duringthe offseasonafter six
years with the Canucks.
Rypiens death came as a sur-
prise to many who knewhimand
thought he had turned a corner.
Theysaidhewas lookingforward
toplayingfor the newly relocated
Jets.
My overwhelming question is
why? How could this happen?
his uncle, Allan Rypien Jr., said.
He had a great family, great
friends and a great job.
He fought this disease with
everything he had in him. If you
knewRick, he fought with every-
thinghe hadinhim. Unfortunate-
ly the disease won the battle.
A number of minor hockey
players, wearing Crowsnest Pass
Thunder hockey jerseys were
among those in attendance.
An autographed No. 37 jersey
from Rypiens time with the Ca-
nucks and a poster from his days
with the WHLs Regina Pats were
part of items scattered among
bunches of flowers.
Rypiens former Vancouver
teammate Kevin Bieksa was one
of the pallbearers. His cousin, for-
mer NFL quarterback Mark Ry-
pienattendedtheservice, as well.
The program, with a smiling
photo of Rypien in a blue Van-
couver jersey, said simply Until
we all meet again.
Rypien is the second NHL
tough guy to die during this off-
season. New York Rangers en-
forcer Derek Boogaard died in
May in Minnesota due to an acci-
dental mix of alcohol and the
painkiller oxycodone.

Showers will turn
to storms this
afternoon as a
strong cold front
crosses the
state. Any sun-
shine will be
early, with things
going downhill
through the later
afternoon hours.
The best chance
for severe
storms will be
along and east
of Interstate 81.
Unlike Friday, the
storms will move
along at a good
clip, keeping
flooding threats
mostly in check.
Still, some of
these storms
could contain
hail and damag-
ing winds.
Conditions
should settle
down quickly
after dark, as
temperatures
tumble into the
upper 50s for
lows. Cooler
weather moves
in for the start of
next week with
overnight lows
flirting with the
40s on Tuesday
and Wednesday
morning.
Autumn can't be
too far off!
-Ryan Coyle
NATIONAL FORECAST: A frontal boundary moving through the East will be the focus for showers and
thunderstorms today. Some of these storms may be severe in the Northeast. Meanwhile, an upper-
level trough will help to generate a few showers and thunderstorms over the western Great Lakes.
Monsoonal moisture will fuel mainly afternoon thunderstorms from the Southwest to the central
Rockies.

THE TIMES LEADER SUNDAY, AUGUST 21, 2011
timesleader.com
F
ive years and $31 million later,
the question must be asked: Was
the downtown Wilkes-Barre
theater development project worth it?
There may be no way to really tell, at
least not yet, but there are plenty of
costs and benefits to examine in trying
to come up with an answer. One place
to start is to ask if the theater/retail/
townhome block has produced any of
the gains that were promised. The
answer is a clear yes in many ways:
The blight that crept up South
Main Street over the past couple of
decades has been halted. Vacant, dilapi-
dated buildings remain, but they are
fewer and theres real hope for further
improvement.
The anchor tenant Movies 14 ap-
pears to be a success, attracting more
than a half million moviegoers each
year. Some of those people are staying
in town for a meal or to shop.
The redevelopment helped spark
other enhancements, such as attractive
new lighting that makes a stroll down
South Main a pleasure day or night.
Other businesses have been at-
tracted to downtown by the makeover.
Up to 21 condominium buyers will
add their spending and character to an
area that had become a tumbledown
eyesore, far from the lively business
district that once featured Percy
Browns gourmet grocery and other
classy shops.
Then there are the maybes.
While a few dozen people work in
the theater and the adjacent restau-
rants, few of the jobs are well-paying
careers. Ditto for the bars that now line
South Main closer to Public Square.
The theaters occupy about half of
the retail portion of the complex, but
beyond a couple of eating places and
shops the storefronts are a bleak sight.
And some of the projects effects
have been detrimental:
The Greater Wilkes-Barre Cham-
ber, which took charge of the project
when no one else would, has been
driven nearly to bankruptcy, restricting
its ability to put more effort into at-
tracting employers.
The city and county contributed
more funding than expected, at a time
when its difficult to balance budgets.
That last point needs exploring at a
time of debt ceiling crises and see-saw
stock markets. Theres been a strong
tendency for both private and public
entities to chase down every grant or
credit they can find, with politicians
eager to pose with dummy checks
representing taxpayers cash. Perhaps
one result of this excess is projects
becoming more grandiose and over-
built than appropriate.
In the case of the theater block, it
seems that a more modest plan may
have delivered all the benefits while
reducing the risks. It remains to be
seen if the retail spaces will fill up and
the condominiums will retain their
appeal and value. If so, this will have
turned out to be a wise bet on Wilkes-
Barres future. If not, it will be a chal-
lenge to keep this undeniably hand-
some addition to downtown from dete-
rioration.
Im sure others will comment that no
one could have foreseen the Great
Recession and its effect on commerce.
While its true that predicting with
certainty the economys twists and
turns is impossible, everyone in the
development world understands that
there will be ups and downs, and they
often are severe in the commercial
property market.
Northampton & Main, as it was
originally named, was built only partly
on firm economic grounds. It also was,
as chamber officials have said, a $10
million gift to the city, meant to
spring load a downtown revival.
From that standpoint it is a qualified
success, but whether it will prove to be
worth the investment has yet to be
decided.

DID YOU KNOW
that members of the
military stationed
overseas can use
expired coupons up
to six months past
their expiration date
at their local commis-
saries? If you have a lot of coupons that
you hate to see go to waste, you can
put them all into an envelope or box
and mail them to our women and men
serving overseas. There are a couple of
ways you can do that:
You can send your coupons to
North Carolina-based Coups for
Troops. The organization receives
coupons and then ships them to mil-
itary bases overseas for use in commis-
saries. Go to: www.coupsfortroop-
s.com for more information. The site
also asks communities across the coun-
try to set up collection boxes for ex-
pired coupons at schools, libraries,
user, so you can get two more bottles
for free and still get an extra $1 coupon
to spend on something else.
Also, the store has Max-Freeze pain
relievers for $6.99 with the full amount
coming back to you by way of a coupon
printed out on your receipt. Check out
the Rite Aid circular for a few more
quality Up Rewards.
Price Chopper is having a 48-hour
sale on Tuesday and Wednesday that
includes some fantastic deals on every-
thing from lobster to orchids. The best
of the bunch is a $19.99 deal that gets
you a two-topping pizza and four
pounds of wings. Thats a $10 savings.
Maybe Tuesday or Wednesday are
good nights to hold your fantasy foot-
ball league draft.
and Cork Restaurant is no different.
The eatery at 463 Madison St. in
Wilkes-Barre is having its annual Clam-
fest Tuesday through Saturday. Cus-
tomers will get one dozen free steamed
clams with every entre purchase all
week. And what kind of a clam festival
would it be without clam specials?
Cork agrees so there are deals on clam
chowder, clams casino, drunken clams
and more.
If you take advantage of the Rite Aid
Single Check Rebate program, this
week has a good offer. Get a 2.5 ounce
Stopain pain relieving gel for $5 and
get a full $5 rebate when you enter
your receipt on the programs website.
If you like to get instant gratification,
Rite Aids Wellness + Card Up Rewards
are bountiful this week. Pay $1 for an
8-ounce Rite Aid hand sanitizer and
get a $1 coupon good for a future store
purchase printed out on your receipt.
There is a limit of three offers per card
grocery stores and other community
gathering points, which can then be
sent to the group.
You can also visit the Overseas
Coupon Program at: www.ocpnet.org/
Base%20Adoption/Adoption1.htm and
select a base from their base list and
adopt it. Follow their instructions as
to the steps you need to take to get
your coupons to the adopted base of
your choice. Bases on the list include
those in Spain, South Korea, Belgium,
Germany, Japan, Turkey, England and
Italy.
Take time to check these resources
and consider gifting military members
with coupons you no longer can use.

ST. LOUIS When the Croy
familys income shrunk by half,
they saw only one way out
strict, penny-pinching frugality.
Their goal: Get out of debt
and reduce overhead, then grow
as the economy gets better, said
Chris Croy.
Croy and his wife, Dina, took
an ax to their grocery list, killing
all but necessities. They made
their own baby food and also
made baby wipes (out of paper
towels, baby oil, soap and water).
They usedleftover chickenbones
to make soup.
They cut out their weekly
lunch after church.
When their four young chil-
dren imagined a trip to Disney
World, Chris Croy pointed to the
family budget on the refrigerator
door. The moneys not there, he
said.
Now theyre putting their
4,000-square-foot home in south
St. Louis County on sale. Theyll
dump their expensive mortgage
and move to a rented house less
than half the size.
And the couple are selling the
furniture theyll no longer need
in their downsized lives. Were
actually quite enjoying the expe-
rience of purging so much stuff,
Croy said. It looks like well cut
70 percent off our cost of living.
Theres a lot of that going on
these days. After a binge of bor-
rowing in the last decade, Amer-
icans have discovered thrift.
And that, unfortunately, is one
of the major factors stalling the
economic recovery.
The great debt pay-down is
well under way. Consumers start-
ed the last decade about $5.2 tril-
lion in debt. That rose to $12.5
trillion just before the 2008 finan-
cial crash. As of March, that was
down to $11.5 trillion.
Croy is a professional photog-
rapher, specializing in portraits
and weddings. Times are bad.
Not only did the economic slump
reduce wedding budgets, but
many newly unemployed people
with photography hobbies start-
ed marketing their services.
Before the crash, the Croys
took a laid-back approach to fam-
ily finances.
We really didnt have a bud-
get, because the cash flow was
fine. Wewerent frivolous, andwe
alsowerent frugal. Weve learned
that frugality is an acquired
taste.
As for denieddreams of Disney
World, the Croys will make it up
by spendingmore time withtheir
children. Making life enjoyable
for children is really not expen-
sive. We play with them, take
them to the park, Croy said.
Unemployment was at 9.1 per-
cent nationally in July. But for
those who kept working, family
balance sheets are improving.

SWOYERSVILLE Eric
Schwartz recalls visiting his
grandfather Robert Fortin-
skys fabric company as a
child, hearing the hum of the
machines, seeing the before
and after products and sitting
at his grandfathers desk play-
ing with any gadgets and trin-
kets he could get his hands
on.
Representingthe fourthgen-
eration of the family to operate
a weaving facility inthe United
States, Schwartz is being
groomed to take over the fam-
ily business, 62-year-old Fortune Fabrics. Hell follow in
the footsteps of his great grandfather, grandfather and
mother, the latter two who are still involved.
Robert Fortinsky, now 86, remains active in the busi-
ness he started but health issues have relegated him to
working from a new office a hospital suite at Wilkes-
Barre General. Schwartz has been able to tap into his
grandfathers wealth of knowl-
edge and keen business skills,
something his mother, Jill For-
tinsky Schwartz, said will help
as he takes on more responsib-
ility for the family enterprise.
He was very lucky to have
my father teach him the
ropes, Fortinsky Schwartz
said. She saidher father could
sell ice to the Eskimos.
Eric Schwartz knows hes
being handed the reins to a
well-run facility thats held its
owninfinanciallytoughtimes,
against fierce competition
from overseas factories, and at a time when two of the
companys biggest costumers thehotel andtrucking
industries are struggling to grow. But hes up for the
test.

KINGSTON -- Jill Fortinsky
Schwartz is an avid knitter, but
when she needed to buy yarn for
her projects, her local options
were limited.
I was traveling out of the ar-
ea for yarn, and I thought, hon-
estly there must be other people
weavers, spinners, knitters and
crocheters, Schwartz said. And
she has, for seasoned pros and
beginners alike.
Though she knows quite a few
avid knitters, she said shes seen

NEW YORK Baby boomers
heading into what used to be
called retirement age are provid-
ing a 70 million-member strong
market for legions of companies,
entrepreneurs and cosmetic sur-
geons eager to capitalize on their
forever young mindset, wheth-
er through wrinkle creams, face-
lifts or workout regimens.
It adds up to a potential bonan-
za. The market research firm
Global Industry Analysts pro-
jects that a boomer-fueled con-
sumer base, seeking to keep the
dreaded signs of aging at bay,
will pushthe U.S. market for anti-
aging products from about $80
billion nowto more than $114 bil-
lion by 2015.
Anti-aging enthusiasts con-
tend that life spans can be pro-
longed through interventions
such as hormone replacement
therapy and dietary supple-
ments. Critics, includingmuchof
the medical establishment, say
many anti-aging interventions
are ineffective or harmful.
From mainstream organiza-
tions such as the National Insti-
tute on Aging, the general advice
is to be a skeptical consumer on
guard for possible scams involv-
ing purported anti-aging prod-
ucts.
If someone is promising you
today that you can slow, stop or
reverse aging, theyre likely try-
ing hard to separate you from
your money, said S. Jay Olshan-
sky, a professor at the University
of Illinois-Chicagos School of
Public Health who has written
extensively about aging.
Its always the same message:
Aging is your fault and weve got
the cure, Olshansky said. Invest
inyourself, inthe simple things we
knowwork. Get a goodpair of run-
ningor walkingshoes anda health
club membership, and eat more
fruits and vegetables.
But such advice hasnt curtailed
the demand for anti-aging prod-
ucts, including many with hefty
price tags that arent covered by
health insurance. These include
cosmetic surgery procedures at
$10,000 or more, human growth
hormone treatment at $15,000 per
year anda skin-care product called
Peau Magnifique that costs $1,500
for a 28-day supply.
Another challenge for consum-
ers is that many dietary supple-
ments and cosmetics, unlike pre-
scription drugs and over-the-
counter medicines, arent re-
quired to undergo government
testing or review before they are
marketed. The Food and Drug
Administration and the Federal
Trade Commission do crack
down at times on egregiously
false anti-agingclaims, but gener-
ally theres little protection for
people who dont get hoped-for
results.
Mary Engle, director of the
FTCs division of advertising
practices, said her agency focus-
es on the cases that could cause
serious harm, such as bogus can-
cer treatments that might
prompt an ill person to forgo
proper care.
Often it doesnt rise to the lev-
el of fraud, she said. There are
so many problematic ads out
there and we really have to pick
and choose what we focus on.
In contrast to the caution of
mainstream organizations, there
are many vocal promoters of anti-
aging products and procedures,
including the American Acade-
my of Anti-Aging Medicine. It
hosts annual conferences in the
U.S. and abroad, and claims
22,000 members, mostly physi-
cians.
One of the academys co-foun-
ders is Robert Goldman, adoctor of
osteopathic medicine. Hecontends
that much of the resistance to the
anti-aging movement comes from
sectors of the health and pharma-
ceutical industries that feel threat-
ened financially for example by
the surging use of over-the-counter
nutritional supplements.
It all has to do with whos con-
trolling the dollars, he said.
Though many anti-aging inter-
ventions are expensive, Goldman
said people on tight budgets still
can take useful steps such as
drinking purified water, taking
vitamins and using sunscreen.
People should be healthy and
strong well into 100 to 120 years
of age, Goldman says in a bio-
graphical video. Thats whats
really exciting to live in a time
period when the impossible is
truly possible.
Olshansky, who over the years
has been among Goldmans har-
shest critics, believes there will be
scientific breakthroughs eventual-
ly, perhaps based on studies of the
genes of long-lived people, that
will help slow the rate of aging.
In the meantime, Olshansky
says, I understand the need for
personal freedom, the freedomto
make bad decisions.
Boomers will spend billions to counter aging
By DAVID CRARY
AP National Writer
down 18 percent in July from a
year earlier, continuinga series of
declines that began this year, the
American Bankruptcy Institute
reported.
As of March, delinquencies on
auto loans were at the lowest rate
since the credit agency TransU-
nion began tracking them in
1999. Credit card delinquencies
were their lowest since 1996.
Debt levels per credit-card bor-
rower dropped 5.8 percent in the
first quarter to $4,679, the lowest
since 2000. Some claim that the
drop in debt comes mainly from
defaults, but TransUnion says its
mainly consumers paying off
debt. Consumers paid $72 billion
more than they borrowed on
their cards in 2009 and 2010.
If anything, Americans are get-
ting thriftier. Consumer spend-
ing slid 0.2 percent in June, the
biggest drop since September
2009, after a tiny a 0.1 percent in-
crease in May. Thats not neces-
sarily a sign of something good,
said Howard Wall, a former Fed-
eral Reserve economist who now
directs the Institute for Study of
Economics and the Environment
at Lindenwood University in St.
Charles, Mo.
Consumers power 70 percent
of the economy. Their newfound
thrift is an economic ball and
chain.
Withthe 2009economic stimu-
lus running dry, and Congress in
a budget-cutting mood, there will
be no burst of spending from
Washington to make up for con-
sumer cheapness.
That produces a chicken-and-
egg dilemma, notes Wall. Con-
sumers wont spendwhile theyre
worried about their jobs and
pressed by higher prices for food
and gasoline. But employers
wont hire until they see more de-
mand for their goods and servic-
es, and most of that has to come
from consumers.
Economists call that the para-
dox of thrift.
If they keep saving and cutting
debt, consumers will eventually
feel comfortable buying again.
And that could give the economy
a long-awaited boost.
Still, Gary Thayer, an econo-
mist and chief macro strategist at
Wells Fargo Advisors, doesnt
think consumers are anywhere
close to splurging on luxuries.
Theyre spending. Theyre
just spending cautiously, and
were not at the point where
theyre going to spend frivolous-
ly, Thayer said. I dont think we
can say were finished with this.

lenge. But a challenge is not al-
ways such a bad thing. It push-
es you to try harder and to
come up with new ideas, said
Schwartz, 25, of Kingston.
Sitting in his grandfathers
office on a couch covered in ny-
lon manufactured by Fortune
Fabrics, Schwartz talked about
his responsibilities as sales co-
ordinator and his decision to
step forward to succeed his
mother, who looked on from
across the room. Fortinsky
Schwartz, 58, of Kingston, is
still the companys president
but expects the business to

down the line. Shes already
scaledbackher hours at the fac-
tory and opened a yarn shop on
Market Street in Kingston
called Gosh Yarn It.
The day she opened her shop
last September, she wrote a
brief note on a green Post-it note
and stuck it to the windowof her
sons apartment that said: Take
care of the baby. The note is still
there and Eric took the message
to heart.
He knows hes working at the

Q: After working as an admin-
istrative assistant in human re-
sources for 15 years, I recently
transferred into the finance de-
partment. I thought that chang-
ing jobs in the same company
would be easy, but was I wrong!
The two co-workers assigned
to do my training have complete-
ly ignored me. The vice presi-
dents executive assistant makes
negative remarks about everyone
and has an inflated sense of her
own importance. If I mention my
previous department, she says, I
dont care what you did over
there, because we do things dif-
ferently here.
These women seem to enjoy
making others feel bad, and I be-
lieve they are threatened by my
knowledge and experience. How
should I handle this?
A: Even within the same com-
pany, different departments of-
ten have very dissimilar cultures.
Unfortunately, as you have
learned, they can also become
territorial and competitive.
Along with the apparent de-
partmental rivalry, you are also
dealing with some extremely
childish adults. Co-workers who
greet newcomers with hostility
and queen-bee assistants who
bask in the bosss reflected power
are not exactly role models for
maturity.
To avoid antagonizing these ju-
venile colleagues, steer clear of
pointless power struggles and
stupid arguments. Just remain
friendly, focus on your tasks, and
dont say much about your previ-
ous position. If this place contin-
ues to feel like a kindergarten,
you can always apply for another
transfer.
Q: After 10 years in my job, I
was called into my bosss office
and informed that I was being
fired. He said they were no long-
er confident in my ability to com-
plete the project. This came as a
total surprise, because I had al-
ways received positive perform-
ance reviews.
I was told that if I agreed not to
appeal the termination, I would
be allowed to resign and be paid
for my accumulated vacation.
Since Im 40 years old with a
mortgage and a child in college, I
resigned in order to get the mon-
ey.
I cant understand howmy em-
ployer could be so heartless.
Shouldnt theyhave toldme what
I was doingwrongandgivenmea
chance to improve? Do I have any
legal recourse?
A: Your former boss is obvious-
ly a spineless coward. From a
management standpoint, he
should certainly have given you
advance warning that you were
not meeting expectations.
Whether this constitutes an ille-
gal termination depends on sev-
eral other factors, however.
Not being an attorney, I cant
offer legal advice, but I will say
that your dismissal has a number
of questionable aspects. Todeter-
mine if youactually have grounds
for legal action, you should con-
tact the Equal Employment Op-
portunity Commission or an at-
torney who specializes in labor
law. Since protection from age
discrimination begins at 40, you
do fall into a protected class.
In the meantime, one impor-
tant step is to verify the accuracy
of your personnel record. Be-
cause you were allowed to re-
sign, the official file should cite
your reason for leaving as resig-
nation, not termination. This will
make a big difference to anyone
conducting a background check.

Its important to learn about your

Publication 560, Retirement Plans

before you make a decision, meet
with your accountant or a human

They can tell you which kind of
planmakesthemost senseforyour

Timeandexpensemaybethebig-
gest concerns of many small busi-
ness owners. They need a plan that
isnt complicated to set up and run,
andthat wont havealot of fees.
Perhaps the best plan for these
owners is a SEP, or Simplified Em-
ployee Pension. It requires the
smallest amount of paperworkand
reporting requirements of any
plan. A small business owner can
gotoabankor other financial insti-
tution to create a SEP. Although
there is anIRSformtobe complet-
ed, it does not have tobe filedwith
the government. With a SEP, the
employermakescontributions, but
employees do not contribute to
these accounts.
The next step up is the SIMPLE,
or Savings Incentive MatchPlanfor
Employees. It enables employers to
match employee contributions.

Markets down? Time to create a retirement plan

cult because there is no local
trained talent pool. But he
promises to have jobs for new
hires who are willing to learn
and to work hard.
Hopefully well get enough
young blood and well be a star
once again, Fortinsky Schwartz
said.
Shes in no rush to see current
employees leave, though. They
are a key reason the business
has survived and thrived over
the past six decades.
She gave credit to determi-
nation, honesty, hard work and
good, loyal employees. And
one of the business perceived
weaknesses its small size is
another reason Fortinsky
Schwartz said the company has
been able to stay afloat.
Because we are so small, we
get a lot of the business because
we can turn on a dime. We have
a quick turnaround, she said,
adding that the personal touch
is important to customers. Cus-
tomers call the business and
talk to someone who knows
themand their order and can re-
spond quickly.
Adaptation is another reason
the company has outlasted about
a half-dozentextile mills that dot-
ted the valley in the 1940s but
havesincegoneout of business or
moved away. Besides Fortune
Fabrics, only American Silk in
Plains Township remains. While

mobile seats has beenthe compa-
nys breadandbutter the past few
decades following earlier stints
making items including neck-
wear Fortinsky Schwartz said
other niche markets have been
targeted including poker tables
and bed throws.
We have tried to find new
markets, Jill said, and while
business is down slightly in re-
cent years, the company sold
332,000 linear yards of product
last year and reported sales of
$3 million.
Things are looking up, Eric
Schwartz said. He said a greater
focus has been placed on serv-
ing existing customers and
bringing on new ones and part
of the sales pitch is reminding
customers that the company us-
es only materials made inAmer-
ica.
Wed like to hope that its go-
ing to mean something, Fortin-
sky Schwartz said. Theres
nothing more discouraging
than going into a department
store and seeing made in Chi-
na.
She saidshe has some worries
about the business, but mostly
driven by outside factors, not its
workforce, the equipment or
her son. She saidher father, who
opened the factory in 1949 fol-
lowing World War II with limit-
ed resources and few employ-
ees, was able to build a formid-
able business through his per-
severance and will to succeed.
She said that her son will have
hurdles to clear but hes up for
the challenge.
If I amsuccessful andI doget
things going, Id feel like it was
much more of an accomplish-
ment. More so than if I took it
over when everything was
good, Schwartz said.

Robert Fortinsky has the textile industry in his bloodline. His parents
and grandparents were weavers.
His father owned a mill in Wilkes-Barre and when he died, other family
members took over the business. At the age of 24, Fortinsky bought a
mill on Simpson Street in Swoyersville and founded Fortune Fabrics on
Nov. 14, 1949. Initially the company wove rayon and silks for dress
goods. In 1955, the company entered the neckwear business. Hard
work enabled the business to continue expanding and in 1967 the
company started weaving upholstery fabrics and added the selling
arm of the company, Wyoming Weavers. In 1984, Roberts daughter,
Jill, joined her father to continue the tradition of a family business.
Now her son Eric is involved.

MORE BAD NEWS FOR IPOS
Need more proof that the IPO market is
in a slump? Even an up-and-coming
Chinese Internet video company cant
persuade investors to buy its stock.
Tudou, the only company to go public
this week after a series of failed deals
last week, fell almost 12 percent in its
debut on Wednesday. The companys
name means potato in Chinese. CEO
Gary Wang has said that people can
become couch potatoes watching video
on computer monitors just as they can in
front of TVs. Most Chinese IPOs have
fared poorly this year, partly because of
concerns about their accounting meth-
ods. Investors have also shied away
from IPOs in general recently because
those stocks are seen as riskiest when
the markets are volatile.
AN ALTERNATIVE TO BONDS?
The yield on the 10-year Trea-
sury note dropped to a record
low below 2 percent this past
week as investors looked for safe
places to park their money. But,
for steady returns, analysts at
Credit Suisse say investors
should consider stocks with high
dividend yields instead. They call
companies like AT&T, Altria and
Verizon better than bonds
because theyre stable and they
have a higher dividend yield than
the S&P 500s average of 2.2
percent. Many of the better than
bonds stocks have outperformed
the S&P 500 this year, too.

CHECK 0N INVESTORS MOODS
The gyrations in the stock market are causing big swings in investors emotions. Bullish
sentiment, or the belief that stocks will rise over the next six months, rose 2.1 percent-
age points last week. Bearish sentiment fell for the second consecutive week. But dont
expect those good moods to continue. The 419-point plunge in the Dow Jones indus-
trial average on Thursday showed that investors remained worried about the economy
in the U.S. Many analysts also predict that the volatility in the stock market will continue
over the next few months. Theres a lack of confidence out there, says Stephen Carl,
principal and head of equity trading at The Williams Capital Group.
Forget the markets recent volatility.
Doug Cote, chief market strategist
at ING Investment Management,
says there are plenty of reasons to
buy stocks now. Earnings remain
strong, he says, mergers and
acquisitions are picking up and cor-
porations have a record amount of
cash on their balance sheets. He
talks about where hes finding
opportunities.
What should individuals be
doing with their money?
We advocate a balanced portfolio,
stocks and bonds, but globally
diversified. For
instance ... this
2008 credit
crisis was
primarily a
developed-
market prob-
lem. So, for
those investors
that had
(investments in)
emerging mar-
kets, not that
they were
unscathed, but
they came out much, much quicker
on both the equity side and the
bond side. So what we advocate is
actually getting back to balance.
Talk about that. What parts of the
market do you like?
I came up with a global perspec-
tives market model ... as a guide. I
update it every single month. What
we found, even during the last
week, it actually did very well. Let
me tell you what did well: We actu-
ally had long government (bonds).
They did tremendous. ... The sec-
ond best return will surprise you:
U.S. (real estate investment trusts).
Is that because REITs pay high
dividends?
What weve been seeing is all year
when equities have done badly,
REITs have done reasonably well.
REITs have shown tremendous
diversification. Its a surprise to us,
but thats the nature of building a
proper portfolio; you dont know
what asset is going to bail you out.
... Another surprise: midcaps. Mid-
caps were virtually flat (even as
large-cap stocks plunged).
Why would mid-caps do well
when markets are volatile?
Mid-caps are my favorite equity
asset class. ... Mid-caps are the
most underutilized U.S. domestic
equity asset class. Why? Its almost
like the middle-child syndrome. Do
you have middle children? I have a
middle child and I have to make
sure I pay attention to her. You tend
to spend time on the oldest and the
youngest. ... The same goes with
equities. Mid-caps have been the
high-achiever and they get ignored.
Why? Because asset allocators
said, if I have large, if I have small,
the middle is covered. And the
middle is very unique.
Mid-caps have the stability of
larger companies, but the growth
of small companies, right?
I couldnt have said it better. They
have the growth of a small com-
pany but the wherewithal of a larger
companies (with their) financial bal-
ance sheets. Theyve grown
beyond the small stage, so theyre
much more stable financially,
balance-sheet wise. But theyre still
growing like gangbusters.
Youve mentioned that youre
encouraged by the recent
increase in merger announce-
ments. Why?
M&A is another signal that has
been contrary to the negative risk
environment. M&A has been giving
us signals that something is differ-
ent in the market. And its the pro-
fessional investor, the M&A crowd,
that sees entirely different (things)
than what the retail investors sees.
They see theres opportunity. Last
year was a good M&A environment;
this year is a great M&A environ-
ment. ... Whats happening right
now is that companies are so wor-
ried about losing market share that
(theyre buying each other).
Everyones doing extraordinary
acquisitions. Its a contrary signal to
the global economic malaise thats
going on, and you have to pay
attention, because it means some-
thing. It means risk capital is still in
charge and its going to confound
the (bearish investors).

InsiderQ&A
Finding
reasons to
like stocks
Netflix is losing some of its
luster.
The movie rental companys
stock is the top performer in the
S&P 500 over the last two years,
rising more than 400 percent. But
that momentum shifted with a
July 12 announcement that
customers who want to rent
DVDs by mail and watch movies
online will face a price hike of as
much as 60 percent. The stock
has since fallen 25 percent.
Management expects subscriber
growth to slow as some rebel
against the increase.
Netflix is spending heavily to
build its online library. In the first
half of this year, it spent $805
million on licensing rights,
roughly double its entire invest-
ment in 2010. Such costs are
expected to reach as much as
$1.4 billion next year, says Arash
Amel of IHS Screen Digest.
Another concern: The video
rental industry is increasingly

competitive. Amazon.com offers
an a la carte option of thousands
of movies and TV shows online.
Blockbuster has a DVD-by-mail
plan that lets customers
exchange discs at its more than
1,500 stores. And Hulu Plus,
owned by media companies Walt
Disney, News Corp. and
Comcast, features streaming
movies and recent TV shows
such as the Daily Show. Also
both Hulu and Netflix are rolling
out original programming.
Documentary filmmaker Morgan
Spurlocks A Day in the Life
debuted on Hulu Wednesday.
Some analysts think Netflix is
still too expensive, despite the
recent price decline. Morning-
stars Michael Corty says shares
would need to fall 30 percent to
$150 before they would be fairly
valued. Thirteen of 25 analysts
also have hold or underweight
ratings on the stock, suggesting
investors should wait a while.

The Standard & Poors 500 index hit its
highest point for the year on April 29. Since
then, it has fallen 16 percent. But 35 stocks in
the index have managed to make gains. Five
are up more than 10 percent.
This screen, powered by FactSet, shows the
S&P 500 stocks that did best between April 29
and Aug. 18. Theyre not necessarily the
companies you might expect to rise. Only two of
the top ten stocks are in industries that are
expected to do well in a downturn like utilities,
health care and consumer staples. Some, like
McDonalds and Chipotle, are in industries
closely tied to the economys health. Restaurant
chains are vulnerable to economic shifts
because consumers can choose not to eat out
when theyre trimming expenses.

this list, Motorola Mobility Holdings, shot up 56
percent on Aug. 15, when Google announced it
would buy the Android smartphone maker, one
of two companies that Motorola split into in
January. It wont waver much as long as the

Treasury yields nosedive
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to a re-
cord low below 2 percent this week before recover-
ing slightly on Friday. Weak economic reports and
concerns about volatility in stocks have led investors
to buy lower-risk assets like Treasurys. Yields fall
when prices rise. The average rate on a 30-year
fixed mortgage fell to 4.15 percent, its lowest level on
records dating to 1971.

TENTOone, spend-
ing cuts to tax increas-
es. Who on this stage
would walk away from
that deal (to reduce the
federal budget deficit)?
Raise your hand.
Fox television an-
chor Bret Baier asked that question of
eight Republican presidential candidates
standing on stage during a recent GOP
debate in Ames, Iowa.
My slow-motion instant replay shows
former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorumof Penn-
sylvania was first to mindlessly thrust his
hand into the air. He was quickly fol-
lowed by former House Speaker Newt
Gingrich of Georgia. Congresswoman
Michele Bachmann of Minnesota was
third with former governors Mitt Rom-
ney of Massachusetts and Jon Huntsman
of Utah shamelessly tied for fourth. It
was a stunning moment and a great
question.
Congressman Ron Paul of Texas
seemed genuinely reluctant to reject
such a lopsided conservative deal, yet he
did so. TimPawlenty, once governor of
Minnesota, sawhis nova fade as he mis-
sed another opportunity to break from
the herd. Slowto respond and straining
his peripheral vision, the directionless
T-Pawwould leave the race 59 hours
later. Businessman Herman Cain was last
to fall in line.
It was a study in body language. Eight
influential people who surely had nego-
tiated less attractive deals and subse-
quently celebrated them, were forced to
pretend otherwise, on national televi-
sion, auditioning for the presidency of
the United States.
Which Republican would reject the
lopsided hypothetical conservative bud-
get deal that raised only one dollar in
revenue for every10 it cut? Ominously,
all eight GOPpresidential candidates
stared into the camera and raised their
right hands.
It does not bode well for the newJoint
Select Committee on Deficit Reduction,
which must adopt a budget plan by Nov.
23 that cuts the federal deficit by $1.5
trillion over 10 years. The plan must then
be approved by the Congress and Presi-
dent Obama by Dec. 23.
Get your Christmas shopping done
early. Hug your 401k. And tune in for a
rerun of As the DowDrops, featuring
the crazy antics of the dysfunctional
House of Representatives.
Americans have often voted for a divid-
ed Congress, handing one chamber to
party-Aand the other to party-B, in hopes
of adding extra-constitutional checks on
government power.
Divided government had often pro-
duced significant advancements in the
economic and social life of our nation.
Requiring compromise fromboth par-
ties, they moved America forward, to-
gether.
But that was yesterday, wrote David
Stuart Chadwick; and yesterdays gone,
sang Jeremy Clyde.
Today divided government no longer
seeks to advance the interests of the
nation, it blocks them. No longer does
divided government seek to modulate
the necessary issue of the day, it buries it.
When eight presidential candidates
cannot break free of the right-wing chains
that bind and cheer a10-to-1budget deal
as a significant conservative victory, our
government is in crisis. Certainly the
rating agency Standard &Poors has said
as much.
The S&Pdowngrade, while a reflec-
tion of the balance sheet, is as much a
reflection of the dysfunction and lack of
confidence in the political system. There
has to be a change, said Starbucks CEO
Howard Schultz.
Schultz sounded the alarmby calling
for a nationwide boycott of donations to
political campaigns until elected officials
begin working together to solve Amer-
icas problems. The widespread support
Shultz is receiving is certainly a start, but
in the end voters get the government
they deserve.
Limiting contributions might have
some impact, but only the American
people, voting with unlimited enthusi-
asmto change the mess in Congress, can
begin to solve this dire problem. It can be
done.
Ill bet ya, 10 to1.

WE ALL KNOW that
stereotyping is
wrong and a rule
against it should
extend beyond race,
religion, gender and
ethnicity.
To cast an entire
population in the same light based
on geography is unfair and should
be declared unacceptable. Free-
speech considerations would prob-
ably keep us from actually passing a
law against such stereotyping but we
might be able to build a groundswell
of popular opinion in opposition to
gross generalizations made about
people who live in a particular state
or region.
New rules for civility and, yes,
even political correctness would
make it offensive for non-Northeast-
erners to say we are aloof, provin-
cial, tree-hugging liberals. Or for
anyone who resides north of the
Mason-Dixon Line to portray South-
erners as mean-spirited bigots who
mask their contempt for those of us
they call Yankees with disingen-
uous smiles and a syrupy drawl.
Wed just ban all this nonsense
except for one problem. There are
always those tiny instances of behav-
ior that crop up here and there and
reinforce the stereotype.
As an example of this we have to
look no further than Texas Gov. Rick
Perry and his first week on the na-
tional campaign trail seeking the
Republican nomination for a run at
the presidency.
Gov. Perry is being described in
the national media in terms often
employed by reporters writing about
Texans. Perry, the media have noted
repeatedly, walks with a swagger,
talks with a twang, exudes self-confi-
dence to the point of cockiness. He
is, to read the news reports, a loud,
tall, gunslinging cowboy who has no
use for the guvmint he wants to
run and who cant stop bragging
about the Texas way of doing things.
We could cry foul to these char-
acterizations if Perry did not hit the
Midwest state fair and New Hamp-
shire coffee klatch circuit shooting
off his mouth and acting like man
whose picture could illustrate the
dictionary definition of stereotyp-
ical Texan.
Loud? Guilty. Tall? Over six feet,
which is taller than a lot of movie
cowboys. Prone to braggadocio? You
dont win elections in the Lone Star
State posing as a shrinking violet.
Gunslinging? Well, he did shoot a
coyote last year while jogging near
Austin, Texas.
No, the governor doesnt need
media stereotypers to define his
looks, style and behavior. Fact is, ol
Rick is doing a pretty good job play-
ing his West Texas self as he lives up
(or down, depending on your point
of view) to the expectations of con-
servative Republicans who love what
hes saying and doing and liberals
who wish that coyote had dodged
the bullet and taken a chunk out of
Perrys hide.
Perry has been, ahem, somewhat
loose-lipped so far.
His first attention-getting stunt
was to put Federal Reserve Chair-
man Ben Bernanke in the same class
as a Western movie railroad baron.
If this guy prints more money
between now and the election, I
dont know what you all would do to
him in Iowa, but we would treat him
pretty ugly down in Texas, said
Perry.
Pretty ugly?
Now thats about as old-school
Texan as it gets, invoking images of
the worst that could happen to a
shady banker from back east who
wanders into a Texas saloon. While
he was at it, Perry suggested that
Bernankes work in Washington,
D.C. might be tantamount to trea-
son.
Those remarks caused fellow Tex-
as Republican Karl Rove to suggest
the governor might tone it down a
bit.
Gov. Perry is going to have to
fight the impression that hes a cow-

WASHINGTON When congres-
sional cost-cutters meet later this year to
decide on trimming the federal budget,
the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq could
representjuicytargets. Buthowmuchdo
the wars actually cost the U.S. taxpayer?
Nobody really knows.
Yes, Congress has allotted$1.3trillion
forwarspendingthroughfiscal year2011
just to the Defense Department. There
arelongPentagonspreadsheetsthat out-
line howmuch of that was spent on per-
sonnel, transportation, fuel and other
costs. In a recent speech, President Ba-
rack Obama assigned the wars a $1 tril-
lion price tag.
But all thosenumbers areincomplete.
Besides what Congress appropriated,
the Pentagon spent an additional un-
knownamount fromits$5.2trillionbase
budget over that same period. Accord-
ing to a recent Brown University study,
the wars and their ripple effects have
cost the United States $3.7 trillion, or
more than $12,000 per American.
Lawmakers remain sharply divided
over the wisdomof slashingthe military
budget, even with the United States
winding down two long conflicts, but
theres also a more fundamental prob-
lem: Its almost impossible to pin down
just what the U.S. military spends on
war.
To be sure, the costs are staggering.
AccordingtoDefenseDepartment fig-
ures, by the end of April the wars in Iraq
and Afghanistan including every-
thing from personnel and equipment to
trainingIraqi andAfghansecurityforces
and deploying intelligence-gathering
drones hadcost anaverageof $9.7bil-
lion a month, with about two-thirds go-
ing to Afghanistan. That total is roughly
theentireannual budget for theEnviron-
mental Protection Agency.
Because of the complexandoftenam-
biguous Pentagon budgeting process,
its nearly impossible to get an accurate
breakdown of every operating cost.
Somefundingcomesoutof thebasebud-
get; other money comes from supple-
mental appropriations.
But theestimates canbeeye-popping,

ASHINGTONLisa Banks feels hopeless. Shes lost
an essential part of her identity: Her status as a proud
full-time employee is gone. Ever since the 44-year-old
Germantown, Md., resident was laidoff fromher job as anadmin-
istrator for a federal contractor in May 2009, shes sent out hun-
dreds of resumes, but only had four interviews. She says shes

luck there either: She doesnt have insurance to pay for it.
Iveworkedall mylife. Ivebeenade-
cent person, she said. (But now) I feel
as if Im invisible. Like Im not worth
anything to society anymore.
The one consolation she can take is
that shes not alone. Statistics show
that 14 million unemployed Americans
still suffer the effects of the recession.
Of the jobless, more than 44 percent
have been out of work for 27 weeks or
more, a time frame the Bureau of Labor
Statistics considers long term.
The average unemployed American
has been out of a job for a record 40.4
weeks, a figure thats grown steadily in
the past 31/2 years from17.5 weeks
in January 2008.
As Americans suchas Banks struggle
to find jobs, long-term unemployment
is wreaking a psychological toll across
the United States, with experts and a
number of studies sayingthejobless are
especially at risk of depression, in-
creased anxiety and physical ailments.
The National Alliance on Mental Ill-
ness, an advocacy group, said in a
March report that a cumulative $1.8 bil-
lion from mental health services was
cut in 32 states and the District of Co-
lumbia from 2008 to 2010.
As a result, weve seen increasing
burdens on other systems that are left

gency rooms, like lawenforcement and
jails and prisons and homeless shel-

I know players are concerned
about the message this sends.
Scott Fujita
The Cleveland Browns linebacker and member of
the NFL players executive committee is skeptical of
the deal that allows former Ohio State star Terrelle
Pryor to enter the pro draft despite his serious violation of NCAA rules
while still in college.
SOMEONE AT long last
has had the courage to tell
the plain, honest truth
about race.
After mobs of young
blacks rampaged through
Philadelphia committing
violence as similar mobs have rampaged
through Chicago, Denver, Milwaukee and
other places Philadelphias black mayor,
Michael A. Nutter, ordered a police crack-
down and lashed out at the whole lifestyle of
those who did such things.
Pull up your pants and buy a belt cause
no one wants to see your underwear or the
crack of your butt, he said. If you walk into
somebodys office with your hair uncombed
and a pick in the back, and your shoes un-
tied, and your pants half down, tattoos up
and down your arms and on your neck, and
you wonder why somebody wont hire you?
They dont hire you cause you look like
youre crazy, the mayor said. He added:
You have damaged your own race.
While this might seem like it is just plain
common sense, what Mayor Nutter said
undermines a whole vision of the world that
has brought fame, fortune and power to race
hustlers in politics, the media and academia.
Any racial disparities in hiring can only be
due to racism and discrimination, according
to the prevailing vision, which reaches from
street corner demagogues to the august
chambers of the U.S. Supreme Court.
Just to identify the rioters and looters as
black is a radical departure, when mayors,
police chiefs and the news media in other
cities report on these outbreaks of violence
without mentioning the race of those who
are doing these things. The Chicago Tribune
even made excuses for failing to mention
race when reporting on violent attacks by
blacks on whites in Chicago.
Such excuses might make sense if the
same politicians and talking heads were not
constantly mentioning race when denounc-
ing the fact that a disproportionate number
of young black men are being sent to prison.
The prevailing social dogma is that dis-
parities in outcomes between races can only
be due to disparities in how these races are
treated. In other words, there cannot pos-
sibly be any differences in behavior.
But if black and white Americans had
exactly the same behavior patterns, they
would be the only two groups on this planet
that are the same.
The Chinese minority in Malaysia has
long been more successful and more prosper-
ous than the Malay majority, just as the
Indians in Fiji have long been more success-
ful and more prosperous than the indigenous
Fijians.
There are similar disparities within partic-
ular racial or ethnic groups. Even this late in
history, I have had northern Italians explain
to me why they are not like southern Ital-
ians. In Australia, Jewish leaders in both
Sydney and Melbourne went to great lengths
to tell me why and how the Jews are differ-
ent in these two cities.
In the United States, despite the higher
poverty level among blacks than among
whites, the poverty rate among black mar-
ried couples has been in single digits since
1994. The disparities within the black com-
munity are huge, both in behavior and in
outcomes.
Nevertheless, the dogma persists that
differences between groups can only be due
to the way others treat them or in the way
others perceive them in stereotypes.
All around the country, people in politics
and the media have been tip-toeing around
the fact that violent attacks by blacks on
whites in public places are racially motiva-
ted, even when the attackers themselves use
anti-white invective and mock the victims
they leave lying on the streets bleeding.
This is not something to ignore or excuse.
It is something to be stopped. Mayor Nutter
seems to be the first to openly recognize
this.
This needs to be done for the sake of both
black and white Americans and even for
the sake of the hoodlums. They have set out
on a path that leads only downward for
themselves.

T H O M A S S O W E L L
STANDARD & POORS
decision to downgrade
Americas credit rating from
AAA to AA+ says far more
about our dysfunctional
political system than about
U.S. markets.
Washington is injecting uncertainty and
instability into an economy that otherwise
can be quite resilient in the face of change.
Many businesses are doing well and making
profits. But the economy isnt growing be-
cause businesses are uncertain about the
how best to use those profits and other re-
sources.
Its the uncertainty over government policy
and action that causes investors to lose confi-
dence in the market. For example, imagine a
firm earning a 6 percent return on invest-
ment. If the owner is unsure how much the
new health care legislation will cost him, he
will forgo hiring new workers or reinvesting
his profits in job-creating technology.
Almost everything Washington has done
for the last eight years has been seen by
business as a long-term threat to American
prosperity. The previous administration
brought us into two wars and passed costly
policies such as the Medicare drug-benefit
provision. The current administration picked
up where President George W. Bush left off,
adding reckless monetary policies and bai-
louts to boot.
These and other actions have left our
government drowning in debt a projected
$15 trillion by the end of this year and have
left businesses hamstrung by regulation,
bureaucratic micromanagement and un-
certainty.
S&P did not downgrade the U.S. economy
it downgraded Americas politicians and
political order.
In April, Treasury Secretary Timothy
Geithner acknowledged that investors were
extremely nervous about the governments
fiscal condition and the political establish-
ments inability to deal with it. Washington
is a hard place to read, he told Fox News.
When S&P expressed similar concerns,
Geithner more or less disregarded the ratings
agency, publicly stating there was no risk of
a U.S. credit downgrade provided Congress
raised the debt ceiling. Congress raised the
ceiling but did not mitigate the risk.
As Binyamin Appelbaum correctly noted
in the New York Times soon after the debt
deal was sealed, the deal does not actually
reduce federal spending. Indeed, both the
government and its debts will continue to
grow more quickly than the U.S. economy.
Standard & Poors wasnt fooled.
In response to the downgrade, Geithner
claimed that S&P had demonstrated a stun-
ning lack of knowledge about basic U.S. fiscal
budget math and had handled themselves
very poorly. But its not S&P who had han-
dled themselves poorly; its our political
leaders. And its our political leaders as well
who have ignored federal budget math: year
after year, with few exceptions, producing
large budget deficits.
My colleague, economic historian Robert
Higgs has written extensively about the
conditions that caused and prolonged the
Great Depression.
Higgs research, confirmed by others,
shows that President Franklin D. Roosevelts
policies, rather than jump-starting the crip-
pled economy, prolonged the Depression by
reducing investor confidence and raising
questions about the durability of private-
property rights.
Washington needs to back off and stand
down. The only way out of the current mess
is a principled commitment to smaller gov-
ernment, coupled with deep, structural cuts
in entitlement spending and defense.
S&P downgrade poor reflection on Americas politicians

HE AREAS startup
Victory Baseball
League which is
neither aimed at chil-
dren nor focused solely on
baseball sounds like a win-
ner of a program, one that
communities across the coun-
try might want to copy.
In a nutshell, the Victory
leagues organizers in the
Wyoming Valley intend to pro-
vide an athletic and social out-
let for people with mental and
physical disabilities who have
outgrown youth programs. Af-
ter all, no one ages out of
wanting to have fun, right?
Supporters heldthe leagues
first game Thursday at a spe-
cial diamond in Pittston
Township that is fully hand-
icapped accessible. Suffice it
to say, the event was a hit. As
the mother of one player, 32-
year-old Timmy Kelly, ex-
plained, he had long watched
sports, including contests in
which his relatives competed,
and wanted to be part of the
action.
He just wanted to be out
there, she said.
Victory league co-founder
Fred DeSanto, who two dec-
ades ago introduced Challen-
ger Baseball to the area, said
he was inspired earlier this
year by a similar comment
from someone yearning to be
out there. A former Challen-
ger player, now an adult, told
DeSanto that he missed play-
ing baseball. (Little Leagues
Challenger Baseball sets a
maximum age limit of 21 for
its players who are still in high
school).
DeSantoandhis Victory col-
laborators see the league as
another way to extend the
playing field, with its 30 or so
participants ranging from
young adult to AARP-eligible.
The league likely will be ex-
panded to include other, year-
round activities, such as bas-
ketball, bowling, bocce ball
anddances, accordingtoanar-
ticle by staff writer Jerry Ly-
nott in Fridays edition.
Donations are being accept-
ed to defray the leagues initial
costs, estimated at $5,000 to
$6,000. Lets hope the contri-
butions will roll in, and Victo-
rys young-at-heart competi-
tors canstay out there onthe
field of play for a very long
time.
OUR OPINION: VICTORY LEAGUE

part of the action

HAT DO YOU do
with a Somalia?
Americans have
wanted to have as
little to do as possible with the
East Africannationever since19
U.S. soldiers were killed in the
1993Battleof Mogadishu, made
famous in the 2001 movie
BlackHawkDown,whichwas
basedonabookbyformerPhila-
delphia Inquirer reporter Mark
Bowden.
But Somalia wont let this
country, or any other, it seems,
forget that it is still here. It has
become the very definition of
anarchy, with only a semblance
of a government that can do lit-
tle to control the terrorists, pi-
rates and warlords who make
life in the country miserable.
The world also cant forget
Somalia because it is the most
destitute of the nations in the
Horn of Africa, suffering from
the regions latest drought and
famine. The United Nations
says more than 3.2 million So-
malis, half the nations popula-
tion, are inneedof foodandoth-
eraid. Morethan600,000Soma-
lis have fled to neighboring
countries.
The world has responded to
the East African crisis, which
has affected about 12 million
people in all. But the aid is not
arriving as quickly as it should.
As a result, morethana half-mil-
lion children, many of them in
Somalia, arefightingseveremal-
nutrition and could die.
UNICEF recently reported
that it faced a $200 million
shortfall in emergency funds
neededfor the region, including
more than $120 million for So-
malia alone. Afshan Khan, a
UNICEF director, urged poten-
tial donors to focus on the most
vulnerable victims. Children
dont choose where they are
born, to whom they are born,
what type of government rules
them, she said.
Still, its understandable that
some might hesitate to give to
relief funds, knowing there is a
good chance the aid might nev-
er reach its intended recipients.
The U.N. World Food Program
acknowledged last week that
much of the food meant for
starving Somalis is being stolen
andsoldinmarkets at prices the
poor could never afford.
Pilesof foodhavebeenseenin
Mogadishu markets with
stamps showingtheitems came
from the WFP, Americas
USAID or the Japanese or Ku-
waiti governments. Neverthe-
less, people must continue to
give, hoping steps can be taken
toget moreof theaidtovictims.
No one knows when things
will bebetter. Somaliascivil war
has lasted20years andhas been
exacerbated by U.S. efforts, aid-
ed by Ethiopia, to uproot the Is-
lamic terrorist group al-Shabab.
But the famine victims cant
wait for better days. They need
help now.

WE HAD
reversed the
recession,
avoided a
depression,
got the econo-
my moving
again. ... But
over the last six months, weve
had a run of bad luck.
President Obama, Deco-
rah, Iowa, Aug. 15
A troubled nation wonders:
How did we get mired in 9.1
percent unemployment, 0.9
percent growth and an eco-
nomic outlook so bad that the
Federal Reserve pledges to
keep interest rates at zero
through mid-2013 an admis-
sion that it sees little hope on
the horizon?
Bad luck, explains our presi-
dent. Out of nowhere came
Japan and its supply-chain
disruptions, Europe and its
debt problems, the Arab Spring
and those oil spikes. Kicked
off, presumably, by various acts
of God (should He not be held
accountable too?): earthquake
and tsunami. (Tomorrow:
pestilence and famine. Maybe
frogs.)
Well yes, but what leader is
not subject to external events?
Were the minor disruptions of
the current Arab Spring re-
motely as damaging as the
Arab oil embargo of 1973-74?
Were the supply disruptions of
Japan 2011 anything like the
Asian financial collapse of
1997-98? Events happen. Lead-
ers are elected to lead (from
the front, incidentally). That
means dealing with events, not
plaintively claiming to be their
victim.
Moreover, luck is the residue
of design, as Branch Rickey
immortally observed. And
Obamas design for the econo-
my was a near-$1 trillion stimu-
lus that left not a trace, the
heavy hand of Obamacare
and a flurry of regulatory zeal
that seeks to stifle everything
from domestic energy produc-
tion to Boeings manufacturing
expansion into South Carolina.
He sowed, he reaps.
In Obamas recounting, how-
ever, luck is only half the story.
His economic recovery was
ruined not just by acts of God
and (foreign) men, but by
Americans who care nothing
for their country. These peo-
ple, who inhabit Congress
(guess what party?), refuse to
set aside politics for the good
of the nation. They serve spe-
cial interests and lobbyists,
care only about the next elec-
tion, place party ahead of coun-
try. Indeed, they would rather
see their opponents lose than
see America win. The blag-
gards!
Charging ones opponents
with bad faith is the ultimate
political ad hominem. It obvi-
ates argument, fact, logic,
history. Conservatives resist
Obamas social-democratic,
avowedly transformational
agenda not just on principle
but on empirical grounds, as
well the economic and moral
unraveling of Europes social-
democratic experiment, on
display today from Athens to
the streets of London.
Obamas answer? He doesnt
even engage. Thats the point
of these ugly accusations of
bad faith. They are the equiv-
alent of branding Republicans
enemies of the people. Texas
Gov. Rick Perry has been right-
ly chided for throwing around
the word treasonous in refer-
ence to the Fed. Obama gets a
pass for doing the same, only
slightly more artfully, regard-
ing Republicans. After all, he is
accusing them of wishing to
see America fail for their own
political gain. What is that if
not a charge of betraying ones
country?
The charge is not just ugly.
Its laughable. All but five Re-
publican members of the
House moderate, establish-
ment, tea party, freshmen alike
voted for a budget containing
radical Medicare reform know-
ing it could very well end many
of their careers. Democrats
launched gleefully into Me-
discare attacks, hardly believ-
ing their luck that Republicans
should have proposed some-
thing so politically risky in
pursuit of fiscal solvency. Yet
Obama accuses Republicans of
acting for nothing but partisan
advantage.
This from a man who has
cagily refused to propose a
single structural reform to
entitlements in his three years
in office. A man who ordered
that the Afghan surge be un-
wound by September 2012, a
date that makes no military
sense (it occurs during the
fighting season), a date not
recommended by his com-
manders, a date whose sole
purpose is to give Obama polit-
ical relief on the eve of the
2012 election. And Obama
dares accuse others of placing
politics above country?
A plague of bad luck and bad
faith a recalcitrant providen-
ce and an unpatriotic opposi-
tion. Our president wrestles
with angels, monsters of myth-
ic proportions.
A comforting fantasy. But a
sorry excuse for a failing econ-
omy and a flailing presidency.
Stop making excuses
and shoulder blame

once predicted
everyone
would be fa-
mous for 15
minutes. He
didnt say we
would all be
connected in an instant.
But we are. One touch of a
button. One group email. One
Facebook post. And boom! Ev-
eryone knows everything. Or
everyone is in one place. They
call it a flash mob. And it recent-
ly has shown its dark side, in
London, Philadelphia and other
places.
Crowds gather. Crowds turn
to mobs. Mobs turn to riots.
And they were all invited.
Bare SHOPS are gonna get
smashed up so come get some
(free stuff!!!) read one post
prior to the recent London riots,
where looting was rampant.
Another read: If youre down
for making money, were about
to go hard in east London.
The proliferation of such
messages sent across social
media sites especially Black-
Berrys messenger service had
British authorities talking about
limiting wireless access to pre-
vent potential violence.
But how? How do you put
genies back in bottles in this
case, a million genies in a mil-
lion cell phones?
Its instantaneous and its
anonymous, said Paul Wer-
theimer, founder of Crowd Man-
agement Strategies. What were
looking at is the 21st-Century
mob.
The 21st-Century mob. Just
press send.
Anyone remember our protest
rallies from the 1960s? We knew
about them weeks in advance.
There were posters. Phone calls.
Bus trips. It took a lot of effort.
And, despite the drugs flying
around in those days, there was
usually a reason to gather.
Today, not only do you not
need a reason, such methodol-
ogy would be like getting ice
from a truck. Why call one per-
son when you can text 1,000?
Why tack up posters when you
can digitally invite the world?
London is just the most re-
cent example of crowds sprout-
ing from digital seeds. Los An-
geles has dealt with flash mob
violence. Suburban Cleveland
had an incident over the Inde-
pendence Day holiday. Earlier
this month, San Franciscos
rapid transit service shut down
cell phone access to avert a
suspected flash mob disruption.
Philadelphia has been dealing
with the problem for a while.
Mostly young people gathering,
getting violent.
Theyre lawless. They act
with ignorance, Philly Mayor
Michael Nutter, told the news
media. Were not going to toler-
ate that.
Understood. But how do you
stop it? Some have talked about
blocking the signals of digital
devices in certain volatile areas
sort of like an instant jamming
mechanism. But that supposes:
1) You can identify that area
quickly.
2) You have the technology.
3) Youre not also blocking
legitimate use of those devices
such as an elderly person calling
for an ambulance on a cell
phone. (Already in San Francis-
co, civil libertarians are com-
plaining about the rapid transit
incident.)
Besides, once you identify a
hot spot, hasnt much of the
damage been done?
You cant keep people from
assembling in America. But
what happens when the point of
the assembly is to disassemble
something?
Ironically, the whole idea of
flash mobs was originally to
have fun. Spontaneous large-
scale dancing. A worldwide
pillow fight. But somehow that
has been turned on its ear. What
appealed to adventurous fun
now appeals to disenfranchised
anger or boredom.
And yet we cant deny the
potential upside of social media.
Look at what happened in Tu-
nisia and Egypt. Free flow of
information can be used for
good, British Prime Minister
David Cameron recently told
Parliament. But it can also be
used for ill.
And thats your problem. The
only thing that seems certain is
that the world is going so much
faster now, snap decisions, snap
judgments, snap riots, snap
coverage. We are teaching a
dangerous, subtle message, that
we can see everything in an
instant, know everything in an
instant, have an opinion on
everything in an instant.
With that, inevitably, comes
desire for everything in an in-
stant including mayhem, vio-
lent thrills or whatever products
you dont have but could loot.
The 21st-century mob. As-
sembled in the time it takes to
make a sandwich. Is it just me,
or is the world truly a scary
place?
In a flash, the world is now a scarier place

Tourney creates
scholarships
C
ongratulations to the two
recipients of the inaugural
Kim Skiro Scholarship
Award. The money for these
scholarships was raised as a
result of a soccer tournament
held in Kims honor last No-
vember.
The tournaments over-
whelming success was a result
of countless volunteers. I
could never thank these peo-
ple enough for all of their hard
work.
To become eligible to re-
ceive a scholarship, a student
must have played in the
Wyoming Valley Soccer
League for at least five years
and have filled out a scholar-
ship application.
A panel reviewed the appli-
cations and chose the winners.
Academics, school activities
and community services
weighed heavily. After close
scrutiny of the applications,
this years recipients were
decided: Brittany Kulesza and
Brian Suchoski.
Each student received
$1,500 to use toward their
college educations. Both are
2011 graduates of Coughlin
High School. Brittany will be
pursuing an English degree at
the University of Pittsburgh.
Brian will pursue an engineer-
ing degree from Lehigh Uni-
versity. These individuals had
set the bar extremely high and
are very deserving of their
scholarship awards. Good luck
to Brittany and Brian!
We look forward to another
successful tournament this
year. We can never have too
many volunteers or sponsors.
Students who meet the
criteria are encouraged to
apply for next years scholar-
ship awards. Visit the Plains
Soccer website for more in-
formation.
Thank you again to all of
those who made this happen.
Special thanks go to Bill
Poray and Don Prescavege;
without their efforts none of
this would have been possible.
They are positive role models
not only for our youths, but

fourth leading cause of cancer
death in the United States,
with only 6 percent of patients
surviving more than five years.
Despite these statistics, the
National Cancer Institute
allocates only 2 percent of its
research funding to pancreatic
cancer.

MIND RACING at 4 a.m.? Checking
work email at a stoplight? Dreading
once-pleasant diversions, such as din-
ner with friends, as just one more thing
on your to-do list?
Guess what: Its not you. Its the
speedup. To keep profits climbing in
tough times, corporations have laid off
staff and piled more and more work
onto the remaining employees.
Websters defines speedup as an
employers demand for accelerated
output without increased pay, and it
used to be a household word. Bosses
would speed up the line to fill a big
order, goose profits or punish a restive
workforce. Workers recognized it,
unions (remember those?) fought it
and, if necessary, walked out over it.
Now the word we use is produc-
tivity, and pundits across the political
spectrum revel in the fact that year
after year, American companies are
wringing more value out of their em-
ployees than they did the year before.
Just counting work thats on the books
(never mind those 11 p.m. emails), we
now put in an average of 122 more
hours per year than Brits, and 378
hours (nearly 10 weeks!) more than
Germans. Worldwide, almost everyone
except Americans has, at least on pa-
per, a right to at least one day a week
off, paid vacation time and paid ma-
ternity leave.
Sure, but we all have to do more with
less employers struggling to survive
the downturn are just tightening their
belts, right?
Thats true for some. But in the big
picture, the data show a more insidious
pattern. After a sharp dip in 2008 and
09, U.S. economic output quickly reco-
vered to near pre-recession levels. The
United States did better than most of
its fellow G-7 economies. But U.S.
workers didnt see the benefit: During
the recession far more people here lost
their jobs than anywhere else, and far
fewer were hired back once the recov-
ery began. And who knows what will
happen now?
Yes, some positions always get ratio-
nalized away, thanks to technological
or organizational improvements and,
of course, offshoring remains a major
factor. But increasingly, U.S. workers
also are falling prey to what well call
offloading: cutting jobs and dumping
the work onto the remaining staff.
Workforce down, output up: No won-
der corporate profits are up 22 percent
since 2007, according to a new report
by the Economic Policy Institute. To
repeat: Up. Twenty-two. Percent.
To understand how we got here, first
consider the Ben Franklin-Horatio
Alger-Henry Ford ur-myth: To balk at
working hard really, really hard
brands you as profoundly un-American.
All well and good. But today, the driver
is no longer American industriousness.
Its something much more predatory.
As Rutgers political scientist Carl Van
Horn told the Associated Press recent-
ly: The employee has no leverage. If
your boss says, I want you to come in
the next two Saturdays, what are you
going to say no?
Which brings us to another shared
delusion: multitasking. It seems the
obvious fix Ill just answer this email
while I help with your homework. But
research shows most of us cannot ac-
tually multitask. And not only that: If
you attempt to multitask constantly,
your mental circuitry erodes and your
brain loses its ability to focus.
Not that there arent winners in the
speedup economy. Although incomes
for 90 percent of U.S. workers have
stagnated or fallen for the last three
decades, the wealthiest 0.1 percent are
making 6.4 times as much as they did
in 1980. And that 22 percent increase in
profits? Most of it accrued to a single
industry: finance.
In other words, all that extra work
youve taken on the late nights, the
skipped lunch hours, the missed soccer
games paid off. For them.
This will keep up as long as we buy
into three fallacies: One, that to feel
crushed by debilitating workloads is a
personal failing. Two, that its just your
company or industry struggling when
in fact whats happening to hotel maids
and salesclerks is also happening to
project managers, engineers and doc-
tors (visit our website to read their
tales). Three, that theres nothing any-
one can do about it.
We got to this point because of dec-
ades of political decisions. Weve turn-
ed over the financing of elections to
wealthy interests; weve made it harder
for unions to organize; weve deregulat-
ed Wall Street and then completely
wimped out on re-regulating it after the
financiers nearly destroyed the global
economy.
But there is another way. European
companies face the same pressures that
ours do yet in Germanys vigorous
economy, for example, six weeks of
vacation are de rigueur, weekend work
is a last resort and companies response
to a downturn is not to fire everyone,
but to institute Kurzarbeit tempo-
rarily reducing employees hours and
restoring them when things start look-
ing up.
Sure, they lag ever so slightly behind
us in productivity. But ask yourself:
Whom does our No. 1 spot benefit?
Exactly. So maybe its time to come
out of the speedup closet. Rant to a
friend, neighbor, co-worker. Hear them
say, Me too. That might sound a little
cheesy. But if youre in an abusive rela-
tionship which 90 percent-plus of the
U.S. currently is the first step toward
recovery is to admit you have a prob-
lem.
For sake of productivity, U.S. workers getting flattened by speedup

Education cuts
hurt poor schools
I
t was with growing frustra-
tion that I read a recent
Associated Press article
detailing how cuts in state aid
for public schools hit Penn-
sylvanias poorer school dis-
tricts the hardest, slashing
nearly three times as many
dollars in aid per student
compared with wealthier
districts.
Gov. Tom Corbett and the
Legislature cut $860 million,
or 16 percent, from public
schools. This hurt all schools,
but if you are not fortunate
enough to live in a wealthy
area, the governors cuts are
even more devastating.
The APs analysis of state
data shows the poorest 150
school districts, or 30 percent
of the states total, lost $581
per student. The wealthiest
150 school districts lost $214
per student. The hardest-hit
districts lost more than 10
times the money per student
as some other districts. Even
though they need the funding
the most, the governor chose
to ignore the needs of low-
income areas.
Does this make sense to
you?
In the 12 counties of North-
eastern Pennsylvania, the
budget cuts mean a loss of
around $70 million to school
districts. Until now, the num-
ber of Pennsylvania students
performing at or above grade
level on state tests increased
as state funding for public
schools increased. Now, these
disproportionate budget cuts
threaten to stop this progress.
Shortchanging students who
are most in need of resources
and forcing already-strapped
local taxpayers to fill the gap
is no way to govern.
Its time for the governor to
work on real school funding
solutions that benefit all stu-
dents. Undoing the academic
gains of the last few years
does not represent real re-
form. Without a renewed
investment in public educa-
tion, it will become very diffi-
cult to provide a quality edu-
cation for all students.

Movie fan says
kids not welcome
I
am an avid movie fan and
love going to the movies at
least once a week by myself
or with my family. I always try
to be courteous by turning off
my cell phone and refraining
from talking and opening
candy wrappers during the
movie.
My complaint is with peo-
ple who bring their small
children to the theater and
allow them to talk or cry dur-
ing the movies.
I love children, and am a
father, but I have gotten baby-
sitters for my children when I
wanted to see a movie. And if
I couldnt get one, I just didnt
go.
Children younger than 6
should not be allowed in a
movie unless it is a childrens
movie.

Men can help end
cycle of abuse
I
t starts with men. While
reading our local newspa-
pers recently, I came across
a couple of articles citing
arrests for domestic abuse,
and it brought back memories
of the many calls I fielded
while a caseworker at Help
Line, of discussions held
through the years with staff at
the Domestic Violence Service
Center and of incidents
brought to my attention years
ago while facilitating a batter-
ers program at Family Service
Association. Most chilling is
the memory of one of my
co-workers whose life was
ended by an intimate partner.
There are many questions
about what contributes to
intimate partner abuse: chil-
dren being raised in a violent
home only to become future
batterers, economic frustra-
tion, substance and alcohol
abuse, low self-esteem and a
need to control. Intimate
partner abuse is not exclusive
to social class, education,
ethnicity or geography. The
reasons are pervasive, but
there is only one very clear
answer: It starts with men.
Yes, I know there are in-
cidents of partner abuse pre-
cipitated by women, but un-
deniably men have perpetrat-
ed an enormous majority of
the actions throughout histo-
ry. The National Coalition
Against Domestic Violence
notes that 85 percent of all
victims of domestic violence
are women. Nationally, nearly
one-third of female homicide
victims that are reported to
police are killed by an intim-
ate partner.
Luzerne County is not ex-
empt. The Administrative
Office of the Pennsylvania
Courts shows that there was
an increase of 34 percent for
protection-from-abuse filings
in 2009 over 2008. In 2010,
our records for Luzerne Coun-
ty show an increase of 31
percent over 2009. We have a
problem. So, too, does the
nation, and if we as men dont
act against it, the problem will
perpetuate into the next gen-
eration.
The coalitions website
notes: Boys who witness
domestic violence are twice as
likely to abuse their own part-
ners and children when they
become adults. I am remind-
ed of a discussion with a staff
person of our local Domestic
Violence Service Center many
years ago. She told of a young
boy, aged 8 to 10 years, who
was at the shelter waiting for
his mother to come out of the
restroom. The boy became
impatient, banged on the door
and stated, If you dont come
out right now, Ill punch you
in the face. This is not a les-
son we want to perpetuate.
If we are to adequately
address partner abuse, we
must confront the source. It is
incumbent upon the over-
whelming majority of men
who do not abuse, and who
understand the devastating
impact of assaulting your
loved ones, to speak out
against domestic violence.
Learn about it. Take a stand.
Be vocal.
The safety of women and
our children depends on what
we do today.

ation of Wyoming Valley pro-
vides batterers intervention
services for men. For more

Dont expect govt
to solve U.S. debt
H
aving observed two
branches of our govern-
ment deal with the debt
crisis, we should all be
amused: After all, who doesnt
like a well-orchestrated clown
show? I have a few reasons for
my cynicism.
One of the most obvious is
the kicking-the-can-down-the-
road approach. The other is
the lack of principle. We are
supposed to be, via Abe Lin-
colns vision, a government of
the people, for the people and
by the people.
That said, I wonder why I
hear politicians tell us what to
think for our good and how to
fix us, but they never pay
attention to what we want.
For instance, almost nothing
is done to help small busi-
nesses succeed. Please find
me a small business owner
who believes government is
listening.
What I constantly hear,
from the people who actually
do create jobs, is concern
about the caliber of young
employees. They are increas-
ingly uneducated and lazy,
lacking any real skill that
employers are seeking. I have
heard this complaint from
numerous employers across
many fields.
Politicians and their pundits
use the youth as means to
push for their own agendas, or
to demonize their opponents,
but no one really confronts
young people or the adults in
authority as to why so many
young people are completely
unprepared to carry our socie-
ty forward.
Heres an interesting obser-
vation: How many of our elect-
ed officials actually leave
public life to reintegrate into
the society they helped to
fix? They leave office, espe-
cially at the federal level, as
multimillionaires. Democrats
do not retire to the inner cities
or depressed rural areas. Re-
publicans do not retire to
factory or entry-level jobs.
These politicians are not los-
ing their livelihoods and job
prospects when employers
move overseas to markets
with no environmental con-
trols or labor laws. (Although
I have to admit, outsourcing
our politicians to a banana
republic with the threat of
violent unrest does sound
appealing.)
In short, this government
and its solutions do not
reflect anything to which any
hardworking, responsible
citizen of any political persua-
sion could agree. I believe it is
time to stop the partisan,
dog-and-pony-show election
that occurs about every four
years.
The people who actually
work and do something pro-
ductive in society need to
demand answers and results
on their terms.

especially considering the logis-
tical challenges to getting even
the most basic equipment and
comforts to troops in extremely
forbidding terrain.
In Afghanistan, for example,
the U.S. military spent $1.5 bil-
lion to purchase 329.8 million
gallons of fuel for vehicles, air-
craft and generators from Octo-
ber 2010 to May 2011. Thats a
not-unheard-of $4.55 per gallon,
but it doesnt include the cost of
getting the fuel to combat zones
and the human cost of transport-
ing it through hostile areas,
which can increase the cost to
hundreds of dollars a gallon.
Since the U.S. government is-
sued war bonds to help finance
World War II, Washington has
asked taxpayers to shoulder less
and less of a burden in times of
conflict. In the early 1950s Con-
gress raised taxes by 4 percent of
the gross domestic product to
pay for the Korean War; in 1968,
during the Vietnam War, a tax
was imposed to raise revenue by
about 1percent of GDP.
No such mechanism was im-
posed for Iraq or Afghanistan,
and in the early years of the wars
Congress didnt even demand a
true accountingof war spending,
giving the military whatever it
needed. Now, at a time of fiscal
woesandwiththeAmericanpub-
lic weary of the wars, the ques-
tion has become how much the
nations largest bureaucracy
should cut.
The debt crisis has been a
gamechangerintermsof defense
spending,saidLauraPeterson, a
national security analyst at Tax-
payersforCommonSense, anon-
partisan budget watchdog.
It used to be that asking how
much the wars cost was unpatri-
otic. The attitude going into the
war is you spend whatever you
cost. Now maybe asking is more
patriotic.

dents, to findeasy access to infor-
mation about their mental health
services, whichhe calledsofrag-
mented and incredibly difficult
to understand, let alone navi-
gate.
Lots and lots of people with
serious mental health illnesses
fall through the cracks. and we
see the evidence aroundus all the
time, Honberg said.
Officials in the federal govern-
ment who handle mental health
issues echo his groups concerns.
They saw the psychological ef-
fects of the economy begin to
pick up in December 2007.
Katherine Power, the director
of the Center for Mental Health
Services at the Substance Abuse
and Mental Health Services Ad-
ministration, anagencyof theDe-
partment of Health and Human
Services, said that around a third
of the 62,000 monthly calls to the
143 suicide-prevention telephone
call centers that her agency sup-
ports around the United States
were related to economic dis-
tress.
Calls about financial anxiety to
those centers have increased
around 5 percent to 10 percent
annually in the past three years.
She also said she was concerned
about the negative ramifications
of state budget cuts for mental
health services.
Its very significant interms of
state revenues not being availa-
ble to fund services, and at the
same time the needfor services is
clearly evident, Power said.
Congress has extended unem-
ployment benefits repeatedly in
recent years, up to 99 weeks,
though further extensions arent
likely as lawmakers wrestle with
huge budget deficits.
Experts on the psychology of
unemployment saidAmerica was
falling short on addressing the is-
sues raised by those out of work.
Experts alsowarnthat if theUnit-
ed States ignores the issue, the
country will pay a price in the fu-
ture with increased costs for
mental health coverage.
When you have 14 million
people who are unemployed and
you extrapolate those figures go-
ing forward to the future, were
going to have a lot of health prob-
lems, a lot of psychological
health problems to cope with,
said Bob Leahy, a psychologist
and the head of the American In-
stitute for Cognitive Therapy in
New York.
Jerald Jellison, a professor of
psychology at the University of
Southern California, said that
when people lost their jobs, they
tended to withdrawfromsociety,
shy away fromseeing friends and
stay holed up at home.
Even when you meet old
friends, theyre probably going to
be asking you, Have you found a
job yet? And even if theyve
learned not to ask you that, you
know thats whats on their
mind, he said.
And so rather than face that
embarrassment and awkward-
ness, thats oneof theother forces
that drives people to withdraw
andnot participateinsocial activ-
ities, he added.
But that behavior is usually
self-defeating, because often the
best waytoget backintofull-time
work is by reaching out to friends
andcontacts toscope out promis-
ing leads.
A further complication for
many unemployed people is that
the longer they havent been
earning paychecks, the harder it
becomes to find work, as employ-
ers often look down on people
who dont currently hold jobs.
Employers reallydofavor peo-
ple who have jobs, said econo-
mist Sophia Koropeckyj, a ma-
naging director for Moodys Ana-
lytics.
Mitchell Hirsch, the online
campaigns coordinator for the
National Employment Law Pro-
ject, anadvocacy group for lower-
income workers, denounced that
practice and said employers are
literally discriminating against
people who dont have jobs.
The inability to find work
doesnt just hurt those out of a
job. It also affects everyone else,
because it hobbles the economy
and crimps consumer spending,
Koropeckyj said.
The more unemployedpeople
there are, that means thats a
weight for the whole economy
because they are not spending as
much, she said.
Meanwhile, unemployed Ger-
mantown resident Lisa Banks
has exhausted her unemploy-
ment benefits. Her car has been
repossessed, so she cant even
drive to the grocery store or take
her 19 year-old daughter to col-
lege this fall.
Banks, who lives alone, said
her relationship with her two
kids had suffered because of her
job status. She spent the first six
months after she lost her job ap-
plying for newones and trying to
kill time, primarily by walking
her dog and reading. She then
took out school loans and nowal-
so takes online classes to get a
business administration degree
in hopes of restarting her career
after she graduates.
But its still tough out there for
her.
Fighting back tears, she said,
All I try to do is try to keep my
head up, and every day its harder
and harder because nothing
seems to be getting done about
this situation. Nothing.

Economist
boy from Texas, said Rove, a
critic of Perry in the past, on
Fox News. This simply added
to it.
If Perry heard Rove and
others recommend moder-
ation he either ignored the
advice or forgot it by Thurs-
day when he boldly pro-
nounced scientific evidence of
global warming a fraud. Per-
haps he missed the stories
that same day reporting the
continuing Texas heat wave,
or the ongoing drought that
has caused farmers and ranch-
ers $5.2 million in losses.
Record-high temperatures,
floods, tornadoes and other
meteorological disasters such
as we have rarely seen have
occurred this year. Who needs
a scientist to verify that global
climate patterns are chang-
ing?
Lets face it, well have a
corral full of problems if Gov.
Perry keeps this going. Before
long, the whole nation will be
telling Aggie jokes (a popular
Texas pastime aimed at those

Next to his larger-than-life sculp-
tures of a bristly Thistle and a Chal-
ice seed pod was an explanation from
Fritz Dietel.
I am intrigued with plant imagery:
flowers, buds, pollen, nuts, seed cas-
ings and bark, the Philadelphia artist
wrote. I am interested in the way two
different forms join, such as how an
acorn cap joins the nut or how shoots
emerge from a bulb.
If you stroll through the Everhart
Museums new exhibit, Buds, Blooms
and Berries: Plants in Science, Culture
and Art, youll realize many artists
share Dietels fascination.
The results of their inspiration range
from strawberries stitched on a sam-
pler and an orchid represented in gold
and enamel to a tribute to roadside
weeds painted by Chet Kalm, who ad-
mires the way they appear almost ev-
erywhere, waving in total abandon,
springing up in an arrogance that in-
timidates all other growth.
The work of scientists is represented
here, too, especially in the collection of
botanist Alfred Twining, who during
the early1900s gathered and preserved
specimens of American Arbor Vitae

NEW YORK The future of televi-
sion lies squarely in the past, preferably
on a bed with a blond bombshell.
Thats where youll find Nick, the he-
ro of NBCs upcoming 1960s drama
The Playboy Club, whos described by
one lady friend as everything you want
and everything you dont. With his
well-oiled hair and sharply creased
pocket square, he looks like he just
stepped out of an ad designed by Ster-
ling Cooper Draper Pryce. Surrounded
by a gaggle of pink-eared, cotton-tailed
friends, Nick lives in a world where, as
Hugh Hefners voice-over explains, ev-
erything was perfect, where life was
magic, where ... fantasies became real-
ities for everyone who walked through
the door. It wasnt the 50s anymore.
Remember nostalgia? It used to be
more original. Backin2007, whenMad
Men brought its cigarette-puffing, gar-
ter-snapping, five-martini-lunch vision
to AMC, the idea of letting viewers revel
in the thrill of 1960s-endorsed bad be-
havior, while also allowing themto keep
the moral high ground of our relatively
enlightenedtimes, felt groundbreaking.
Now, with two 1960s dramas due this
fall, NBCand ABCare following suit be-
hind AMC and that suit looks a lot
like Don Drapers gray flannel number.
Both set in1963, with civil rights, the
Cold War and the sexual revolution on
the horizon, NBCs The Playboy Club
focuses on the bunnies working in gang-
ster-run Chicago while ABCs Pan Am
follows a team of stewardesses, one of
whom might be a spy.
Each showfeels like a Mad Men spi-
noff: Pan Am recalls the blue-uni-
formed flight attendant who helped
Draper get his wings, while The Play-
boy Club echoes advertising boss Lane
Pryces affair with a bunny. By combin-
ing the smart historical references and
character studies of cable with the
broad reach of network television, NBC
and ABCare betting that theyll achieve
all the critical acclaim earned by Mad
Men with a ratings boost that trumps
its roughly 2.3 million viewership.
Jack Orman, the creator of Pan Am,
admits that Mad Men paved the way
for his show. It certainly helped in the
pitching stage, because it showed that
the 60s could work for a contemporary
audience, he says. Before Mad Men,
Orman believes, there hadnt been a tru-
ly successful series set in that decade
since The Wonder Years.
Of course, the allure of the 1960s re-
mains somewhat timeless, especially
when it mirrors our own times. These
shows represent a slice of 1960s Amer-
ica thats closer to modern day, says
Michael Allen, a history professor at
Northwestern University who teaches a
class on Mad Men and the 1960s. Its
a moment that is cosmopolitan, focused
on large cities, business and travel, but
its also quite conservative. The world is
mostly white. Its all well-educated. Its
not really representative of how most
Americans lived at that time, but its ve-
ry advertiser-friendly today, because it
reflects upper-middle-class values.
Indeed, if theres anything Mad
Men taught the networks, its that its
easier to wink at product placement

Fall series
return to
naughty 60s
By MELISSA MAERZ
Los Angeles Times
M
otherhood was a big revelation for Katie
Holmes. The actress, who has a 5-year-old
daughter, Suri, with husband Tom Cruise,
says becoming a momchangedher life inways she never
could have imagined.
I think a tremendous amount of strength is revealed
when you become a parent that you didnt know you
had, says Holmes, whois alsoastepmomtoIsabellaand
Connor, Cruises adopted children with Nicole Kidman.
You also experience this tre-
mendous burst of love that you
didnt know you were capa-
ble of feeling and giving.
Both of those things were
such a surprise, but theyre
the best (emotions).
Being a mom has been on
Holmes mind quite a bit late-
ly thanks to Dont Be Afraid
Of the Dark, her new film,
which opens Friday in area thea-
ters.
Adapted by Guillermo Del To-
ro (Pans Labyrinth) from a
1970 TVmovie, the filmcen-
ters on a young girl
named Sally (Bailee
Madison) who goes
off to live in a Vic-
torian man-
sion with
her father
Alex (Guy Pearce) and his girl-
friend Kim (Holmes). While
Alex and Kim are distracted
with efforts to restore the house,
Sally sets out to investigate the
dark corners of the estate.
Soon, rasping voices are call-
ing out to Sally from the base-
ment begging to be set free. Af-
ter the youngster gives in to her
curiosity and unleashes the nas-
ty goblins, she has to try to make
her family believe theyre in
grave danger before its too late.
It was the films examination
of a woman slowly warming to
motherhood that initially drew
Holmes to the project.
What I loved about this char-
acter is the journey she goes on,
says the actress, 32. At the be-
ginning of the film, she really re-
jects being a mother and being
close to Sally.
Its hinted at that Kim has a
tough childhood, and so she
doesnt want to be a mom. And I
think through listening to Sally,
she becomes her friend, and its
then that she makes the choice
to really pay attention and take
care of her.

HOROSCOPE
HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
You have an informal col-
lection of souvenirs from a
particular time in your life.
Youre moving on now in
many ways. Choose a cer-
tain item to represent that
time, and do something
special with it. Get rid of
the rest.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20). You will endeavor to
provide your family and
friends with the best that
life has to offer. Just be
sure not to leave yourself
out of the equation. Youre
as deserving as anyone.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Bossy, authoritative people
turn you off. You will
resist anyone who tries
to control you, even if
this person is suggesting
something that is in your
best interest.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Drawing a hard line with
yourself isnt always the
way. Travel the peaceful
route. If a belief is causing
you stress, remember that
you have choices one of
them being not to believe
it anymore.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You
will realize what makes
you happy and what
doesnt. Youll get down to
the business of streamlin-
ing your life. That means
letting things go and
choosing anew.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Sometimes over-thinking
things can land you in a
far worse position than
you would be in if you just
had a little blind faith. The
old saying goes that its
better to be lucky than
smart.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Youre even more wise
than usual, so taking your
own advice is best. When
you busy yourself with
that today, you wont have
a bit left over to offer any-
one else.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
You would love to be able
to help everyone who asks
you for assistance, and yet
some of the requests sim-
ply dont feel right to you.
Your intuitive response is
correct. Set limits.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). There may be a gen-
eral lack of enthusiasm
among the people around
you something you feel
you can do something
about, and youre right.
One idea gets the ball
rolling.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Youll make a persua-
sive point because you
understand that people
do not always use logic
to make decisions. If a
man didnt use reason
to get into a situation,
he cannot be reasonably
talked out of it.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
When everyone does his
job, things go smoothly.
The trouble occurs
when jobs havent been
assigned. A strong leader
is needed, and that leader
is you.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Theres a critic in your
head alerting you that
perhaps its time to do
things differently. Hear
this inner critic out, and
try to ignore the harsh-
ness of tone. Then weigh
your options against the
voice of reason.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Aug.
21). You give generously
of yourself, and youll
be blessed because of
your lionhearted ways.
In September, youll fol-
low the suggestions of
excellent teachers and
increase your knowledge
and income. Your family
will be proud of you in
October. Determination
and patience will help you
accomplish more than
you anticipated. Libra and
Scorpio people adore you.
Your lucky numbers are: 6,
25, 39, 14 and 20.

DEAR ABBY
Friendship dissolves
over right to wear ring
Dear Abby:
A friend re-
cently
purchased
a mothers
ring from a
pawn shop.
When Caron told me about
it, I told her she didnt have
the right to wear one be-
cause shes not a mother. I
discussed it with some other
friends and they agreed with
me, but Caron says I over-
reacted and that everyone is
on HER side.
Caron says its just a
ring with different colored
stones and she has every
right to wear it if she wants
to. The women who agree
with me say a mothers
ring is set with varied birth-
stones to commemorate
the birth of a child born in
a certain month, and thats
why Caron has no right
to wear it.
Caron says Im crazy
and need a therapist. Shes
ending our 10-year friend-
ship because I will not agree
with her. Am I right or
wrong?
Ring of Truth in Arkansas
Dear Ring Of Truth: A
ring with multicolored
stones is not a military
medal. There are no laws
or official rules governing
who may or may not wear
one. Shame on you for trying
to take the pleasure out of
her purchase, and that you
would drag others into your
disagreement with Caron
is disappointing and
puzzling.
Dear Abby: Maria and I
lived together for two years.
She had wanted eyelid sur-
gery but couldnt afford to
pay $5,000. I offered to give
her $2,000.
A few months ago, Maria
told me she didnt love me
anymore. (She now has a
new boyfriend.) She called
me yesterday evening asking
for the money I said Id give
her for the surgery.
Do I owe her this money?
Shes the one who ended it.
I told her to ask her new
boyfriend to pay for it, but
she claims I need to keep
my word.
Seeing Things Differently
Dear Seeing Things:
Excuse me? YOU need
to keep your word? No,
MARIA needs you to
keep your word. When
she replaced you, your
generous offer to pay for
her cosmetic surgery ended.
So tell her shell have to
arrange for replacement
financing or work out a
time payment plan with her
surgeon.

Almost without any effort
and, in spite of herself, she be-
comes a mother. And that really
culminates at the end.
Another lure for Holmes was
the opportunity to star in a hor-
ror movie in which the emphasis
was less on gore and more on
character development and old-
school chills.
I just fell in love with these
characters, admits Holmes, a
veteran of the horror shocker
Teaching Mrs. Tingle with He-
len Mirren. Kimis such a strong
female character whomakes real,
definitive choices in the movie.
That was very exciting.
And I like the genre of classic
horror movies, especially ones
that have characters and stories
that can stand apart fromthe use
of the creatures. I thought this
one did that so beautifully.
Before production began,
Holmes reacquainted herself
with classic frightfests such as
The Exorcist and Rosemarys
Baby. She also watched films
fueled by intense family dynam-
ics such as Kramer Vs. Kramer.
Horror movies, Holmes notes,
are ideal devices for catharsis. If
youre feeling stressedout, go see
a spine-tingler and scream your
head off.
I agree with Guillermo, who
believes that audiences like to
have a release. Whether its
through laughter or tears or be-
ing frightened, you need to get
those emotions out.
Theres nothing like a film
that really delivers great tension
and gives you that thrill of not
knowing whats coming next.
Theres reallynothingbetter than
going to the movies and identify-
ing with those people up there.
Theyre you.
With Blackwood Manor, the
films swanky yet sinister setting,
the filmmakers attempted to con-
struct an oddly inviting house of
horrors.
I didnt find it too creepy,
Holmes says of the house, which
was built on soundstages in Aus-
tralias Melbourne Central City
Studios. I actually thought it
was beautiful. It was important
that the house looked very nice
because (restoring houses) is
this couples job. You want to be-
lieve that theyre good at their
jobs because that helped explain
why (Pearces character) was so
distracted and not available to
Sally. I actually found the loca-
tions inthe house quite beautiful.
I was excited about it because
I could feel sort of that juxtaposi-
tion of something beautiful set
against something incredibly ter-
rifying. I really loved that aspect.
The house had this wonderful
fantasy element to it.
While Holmes doesnt have
many scenes with the creatures
who live in the dark and feast on
the teeth of children, she admits
she was impressed by the beas-
ties the special-effects depart-
ment conjured up.
I was blown away, she says.
They were so cool-looking.
They were totally creepy and to-
tally disgusting characters. I was
impressed.
Holmes also was impressed, in
a different way, by11-year-oldBai-
lee Madison.
It was wonderful working
withher, theactress says. Sheis
so professional and so talented
and really loves acting. She
comes in with great ideas. Shes
not afraid. Shehas apoint of view,
and shes willing to discuss it
with you.
Holmes was onlyafewyears ol-
der than Madison when she first
came to prominence as Joey Pot-
ter on Dawsons Creek. After
the showwent off the air, Holmes
set out to prove her versatility by
starring in twisty thrillers (Go,
Abandon), edgy dramas (Ice
Storm, The Gift), comedies
(Wonder Boys, Pieces of
April ) and action flicks (Bat-
man Begins.)
When her daughter was born,
Holmes initially scaled back on
her workload. But last year she
got busy in a big way, shooting
three movies back to back to
back.
In addition to Dont Be Afraid
of the Dark, shell pop up in two
films set for autumn release: the
comedy Jack and Jill with
AdamSandler andAl Pacino, and
the thriller The Son of No One
with Channing Tatum, Juliette
Binoche and Pacino.
Asked if she has difficulty pri-
oritizing motherhood and career,
Holmes says, Its always a ques-
tion of balance and just making it
work and figuring it out.

What drew Katie Holmes to Dont Be Afraid Of the Dark was the
films examination of a woman slowly warming to motherhood.
She shares this scene with Bailee Madison, who plays Sally.
What I loved about this
character is the journey
she goes on ... And I
think through listening to
Sally, she becomes her
friend, and its then that
she makes the choice to
really pay attention and
take care of her.

from Nicholson, climbing fern
from the Daleville area and
close to 2,000 other plants of
Northeastern Pennsylvania.
Then there are the crafters
who have used plant materials
in all sorts of ways. Over the
centuries they fashioned wood-
en cabins and canoes, gathered
herbs for medicine, wove leis
and wreaths and baskets and
made clothes for their families.
I was amazed by all the work
that went into this one dress,
Chris Medley of Dickson City
said during the exhibits recent
opening reception as she ad-
mired a childs embroidered lin-
en dress and a spinning wheel.
I wonder about the girl who
wore it, Medley said. Was it
her best dress? Or her only
dress for that year?
Aplacard near the display ex-
plained how early settlers grew
flax in their gardens and how
women would sing or tell sto-
ries as they used spinning
wheels to spin the flax fiber in-
to linen thread.
Inother sections of the exhib-
it, ruggedlogging tools, a sickle
and hay rake hint at the hard
work involved in long-ago har-
vests.
Delicate china reminds mu-
seumvisitors of the sugar (from
sugar cane) and chocolate
(from cacao) once served in
them.
And the work of glass artist
Emma Stein plant images
fashioned from glass and rest-
ing in cushy cloth bassinets
makes note of the fact some
plants can be dangerous.
My focus is on poisonous
plants that seduce us with their
beauty, she wrote. As in many
life situations, we often do not
recognize that which we com-
fort is hurtful until its nature is
revealed.
But most of the exhibit cele-
brates the useful features of
plants, including the fortunate-
for-humans equation in which
vegetation takes in carbon diox-
ide and gives off oxygen.
Here, too, the beauty of grow-
ing things is on display, as in
the 11-by-17-foot piece that
graces one wall. Contemporary
artist Gabrielle Senza complet-
ed Terra Temporalis just
hours before the opening recep-
tion, using powdered graphite
to create an image of ethereal
trees.
I have a love of poplar, she
said, naming her favorite. I
like the sort of silvery bark and
the shape of its leaves and the
way they flutter in the wind.

when your show is set in the
past. Thats a lesson that hasnt
been lost on NBC Entertain-
ment Chairman Robert Green-
blatt, who recently explained to
a crowd of potential advertisers
in New York that The Playboy
Club offered many cross-pro-
motional opportunities, be-
cause Hefner will be reopening a
few clubs around the time of its
premiere.
Demographically, 1960s peri-
od dramas also extend the net-
works audience. Older viewers
watch them to reflect on their
own experiences during that
decade. Younger audiences,
many of whomalready love heri-
tage vintage clothing and Hip-
stamatic photos, are often
drawn to the retro style, as well
as their curiosity about how
their parents lived. Its a built-
in four-quadrant zinger, says
Chad Hodge, creator of The
Playboy Club. Youll watch no
matter how old or young you
are, and it appeals to both men
and women.
Luring more male viewers is
particularly important to ABC,
whose audience is 65 percent fe-
male. True, some women will
enjoy both networks lipstick-
feminist take on career girls
busting their carefully mani-
cured fists through the glass
ceiling. (One Playboy Club
bunny tells her friends that shes
making more money than her fa-
ther.) But both of these dramas
also indulge a popular male fan-
tasy at a time when many
men are anxious about job sta-
bility and women are getting
higher college degrees, Pan
Am and The Playboy Club re-
call a less threatening era, when
an ambitious womans prime
goal was to serve the guys who
rule the boardroom. The Pan
Am tagline boasts, They do it
all, and they do it at 30,000 feet.
Though both dramas are dri-
ven by their female characters,
each one features a suave lead-
ing man, who also happens to
look a lot like Mad Mens Don
Draper. Playboy has Nick, a
suave lawyer with mob connec-
tions who opens doors for wom-
en and effortlessly helps one
bunny bury the body of a patron
she accidentally killed with her
stiletto. Pan Am has Dean, the
captain of a 707 Clipper who
keeps his affections for the stew-
ardesses where they belong:
30,000 feet above ground.
For Allen, these old-fashioned
gentlemen are especially en-
chanting to todays young view-
ers. If you think about represen-
tations of young men at the pre-
sent moment, you think about
The Hangover and Pineapple
Express and all of these man-
boy characters who dont know
how to be a man at all. Theres a
sense that people played by cer-
tain rules back then, and theres
a yearning for that certainty,
even if some of those rules are
really bad.

S
T. LOUIS Fantasy novels play well with children, who havent yet become too
cynical to believe in magical worlds. Just ask J.K. Rowling, whod be quite well off
financially even if her Harry Potter books hadnt been made into movies.
But what about adults? Is it possible to address their concerns through a genre thats
largely associated with wizards and witches, hobbits and Hogwarts? Can fantastical tales
address the edgier aspects of sex, drugs and rock n roll?
Lev Grossman thinks so. His nov-
el The Magicians (2009) nimbly
crossed the drawbridge to become
a hit with adult readers and earn
critical acclaim. With his newbook,
The Magician King, Grossman
catches up with Magicians pro-
tagonist Quentin Coldwater, a
young man whos infatuated with
magic but whose adventures bump
up against themes far more mature
than those along Potters path.
In a recent interview from New
York, where hes a book critic and
senior writer at Time magazine,
Grossman, 42, says the sequel
wasnt part of his original plan.
I had written The Magicians to
be a one-off, he says. When I put
the period on the final sentence,
that was the last that I ever intend-
ed to write about those characters.
But when youre writing a novel,
you get into the habit of asking
yourself, What happens next? And
after I let The Magicians sit for a
month or two, I started asking my-
self that question again.
One of the challenges of writing a
fantasy novel is creating an imagi-
nary world that makes sense.
It does have to have an internal
logic for it to feel real, he says. For
the readers to feel like they can just
step into that world and believe in
it. But you also want it to be myste-
rious.
Grossman didnt start out as a
fantasy writer; his novel Codex
(2004) was a literary thriller. The
switch in genres came about natu-
rally, Grossman says.
When I got to the age of 35, I
started thinking about what my
most intense and enjoyable reading
experiences had been, he says.
And they really had been as a kid,
reading young-adult fantasy novels.
I realized that I wanted to try to re-
create that feeling of just being lost
in a book.
The magic isnt over: Coldwaters
story is likely to be a trilogy, Gross-
man says.
Thats my plan at this point, he
says. I have something else perco-
lating that Id like to move on to.
