WILKES-BARRE Forty years ago
Saturday the day the Wyoming
Valley Levee burst in the wake of
Tropical Storm Agnes communities
along the Susquehanna didnt have
much to celebrate.
They didnt last September either.
But Wyoming Valley RiverFest
returned to the Susquehannas shore
again Saturday to remind the area
that 99.9 percent of the time, at
least the Susquehanna is a treasure
and not a threat.
The area could celebrate the Sus-
quehanna once again, and did so in
grander fashion than ever.
It didnt even dawn on us at first
that this was the anniversary of
Agnes, RiverFest coordinator John
Maday said. Our philosophy was, its
a river. It goes up; it goes down. Its
nature, and more often than not it
doesnt flood Theres an underlying
impression that the more things we
Theres an underlying impression that the more things
we do that the public will view the river as a treasure.
Its not a threat

While many graduates likely
agreed with her point of view, for
the first time in at least three
years some data show the situa-
tion is looking brighter.
According to The Associated
Press, the unemployment rate for
college grads 24 or younger has
been dropping.
FromJanuary through April, it
averaged 7.2 percent. Compara-
ble rates for 2011 and 2010 were
9.1 percent and 8.1 percent, re-
spectively.
Its difficult to tell howmany of
the 4,000 graduates of 14 colleges
and universities in Luzerne,
Lackawanna and Wyoming coun-
ties have landed a job, but inter-
views with students and school
officials showed that graduates

For the past few years, college
graduates have faced a tough de-

WILKES-BARRE The Jerry Sandusky
trial has ended, but the dark cloud hang-
ing over Penn State University remains.
Is there a cover-up here? asked at-
torney Mike Hudacek of Plymouth, a
longtime Penn State supporter and season
ticket holder. I think were going to find
out sooner than soon.
Prosecutors have already hinted that
they are continuing to investigate Penn
State and its administrators to determine
the extent of the universitys involvement
and whether they disclosed everything
they knew.
For now, its a stigma we have to live
with and go forward, Hudacek said. We
have to live for tomorrow.
Hudacek said Penn State has taken a lot
of heat over the Sandusky case and the
heat may intensify.

More than a month after a
mandated deadline for U.S.
Senate candidates to file state-
ments of financial disclosure,
the Republican nominee in
Pennsylvania has yet to do so.
Tom Smith, a Republican
from Shelocta, Armstrong
County, will file his form in the
next week or two, according to
his campaign manager, Jim
Conroy.
Conroy said after Smith won
the five-way GOP primary in
April, the campaign had a lot
on its plate and could not com-
plete the filing by the May 15
deadline.
He said the campaign filed a
60-day extension request on
May 10 with the U.S. Senate of-
fice that handles financial
statements.
Thats not uncommon,
Conroy said.
The Senates Select Commit-
tee on Ethics, which oversees
financial disclosures for sitting
U.S. senators and candidates,
confirmed the request was re-
ceived and granted.
A call to the Senate Office of
Public Records Friday con-
firmed that no 2012 statement
was in its system, though a
staffer answering the phone
said the 2011 statement and an
amended version were on file.
The statements show all
earned income in addition to
assets and unearned income
such as from retirement plans,
rental income, dividends and
capital gains.
Also listed are liabilities,
such as outstanding loans,
credit card debt and mortgag-
es.
A look at Smiths 2011 state-
ment filed in November
showed an investment portfo-
lio worth $5 million.
He was also receiving in-
come through several compa-
nies he had a role with, includ-
ing TJ Smith Trucking Inc.,
Thomas J. Smith, Inc., Penn
View Mining Inc., and TJS
Mining Inc., all of which he was
listed as president; and TJS
Coal Sales, Inc., which he
served as treasurer of; and
Northern Elk Development,
LLC, in which he was listed as a
single member.
He reported income from 42
publicly or non-publicly traded
assets between $2.835 million
and $17.385 million. Smith list-
ed no liabilities.
Bob Casey, the Democrat in-
cumbent senator, reported in-
come from 21 publicly or non-
publicly traded assets between
$6,600 and $13,000. Casey, of
Scranton, reported three cred-
itors on his list of liabilities, all
having to do with his Green
Ridge home. The mortgage
and two home equity lines of
credit totaled between $80,000
and $200,000.

WEEKLY LOTTERY
SUMMARY
A lifelong fan of the Fighting
Irish, Hazletonnative andformer
Kings College president The
Rev. Thomas OHara suddenly
finds himself with a home in
South Bend, Ind. and tickets to
all Notre Dame football games.
Of course, he had to agree to
oversee four colleges, parishes
and missions on three conti-
nents, and some 500 religious
men.
I always loved Notre Dame,
but this is a pretty hardway toget
football tickets, OHara chuck-
led during a phone interview Fri-
day from Oregon.
Last week, OHara was elected
Provincial Superior of the Con-
gregation of Holy Cross United
States Province of Priests and
Brothers. On Friday, he said he
had been chosen from among
four candidates who had, in turn,
been winnowed through a sort
of strawpole froma wide pool of
nominees.
Everybody had months to
nominate individuals, OHara
said, and once the top four were
selected during a meeting in Por-
tland, Ore., those four were given
a chance to decline the nomina-
tion before the vote.
I struggled with whether or
not I would allow my name to go
forward, OHara said, noting he
had prepared to keep his promise
toreturnandteachat Kings after
a one-year sabbatical.
I hadmy syllabi ready to teach
my class, I was set to return to
Holy Cross Hall on the10th floor.
Its the place I feel most like a
priest, living in the midst of the
residence hall. After much
prayer, contemplation and dis-
cussion, OHara opted to leave
his name in the hat.
The election involved no poli-
ticking or promises. OHara said
he believes he was picked be-
cause of his diverse experience,
working at Kings for two dec-
ades, living in Africa, Bangladesh
and Brooklyn for several years
each, and acquiring a modest
ability to speak Spanish.
Of course, he stressed, The
other three candidates were all
outstanding. I dont think we
could have gone wrong. Im just
humbled I was chosen.
The election is for a six-year
term, which means OHara will
be almost 70 before hes free of
the obligation. And he insists his
planis still toreturntoKings and
teach.
I want to get back to the class-
roomwhile I still have something
to say and while I can still re-
member what I was goingtosay,
he quipped.
And what will he miss most
about the Wyoming Valley now
that his return trip is delayed?
Press all you want for a favorite
food, preferred entertainment
venue or secluded meditation lo-
cale, he will resolutely insist, Its
the people. Its really the people.

Police said charges are pend-
ing the completion of their
investigation.
Police said they charged
Lisa Serafine, of Hazleton, with
retail theft following an in-
cident at Giant Food Stores, 70

Magistrate Feissner.
SUGARLOAF TWP. State
police responded to a two-
vehicle crash at 2:01 p.m. Friday
on the ramp leading from In-
terstate 81 north to Route 93.
Satate police said Girard Char-
ney of West Wyoming, the driv-
er of a Honda Civic, struck a

A tractor-trailer struck two
parked vehicles during severe
weather along Interstate 81

ter truck driven by Timothy
Sherwood of Belmont, N.Y.
crossed the fog line in the right
lane and struck Kuleszas vehi-
cle, then continued forward
into Soltykowskas vehicle and
a bridge abutment.
State police said weather
may have been a factor in the
crash.

ing Valley Medical Center for
treatment of injuries sustained
in the crash. Kulesza and Solty-
kowska were not injured, state
police said.

annual field day at Frances Slo-

Members of the club are
known as ham radio oper-

munication when other ave-
nues of communicationare lost.
Their slogan When All Else
Fails, Ham Radio Works, em-
phasizes the need to exchange
information even when phone
andInternet services arelost, or
when national infrastructure is
compromised.
Often during a disaster, the
first communications are from
ham radio operators, Mike Na-
vin.
Navin said he was grateful
that the organization had a
good relationship with Luzerne
County Emergency Manage-
ment Agency. He said the radio
club took their role in backup
communication very seriously
and were always prepared to
help.
The National Weather Ser-
vice also relies on ham oper-
ators for ground truth, a re-
port of what is actually happen-
ing on the ground as observed
the the operators.
The group gave many exam-
ples of the use of amateur radio,
including highway emergencies
and national threats.
Gregory Germek, Duryea,
said because hamradios can op-
erate from a car battery, that an
emergency station is only steps
away if needed.
In addition to providing
emergency communication,
said Germek, this event makes
it possible togather witha great
group of people.
The group welcomes new
members, experienced oper-
ators or those who are interest-
ed in learning more about ama-
teur radio. Those interestedcan
access the groups website at
www.mrgasarc.org.
The group is looking forward
to its annual Hamfest, anelec-
tronics flea market and conven-
tion of radio enthusiasts, on Ju-
ly 1 at 8 a.m. at the Luzerne
County Fairgrounds in Lehman
Township. It will be open to the
public for an admission charge.

A resolution stating the effective mil-
lage for 2012-2013 school year was dis-
tributed with the rate set at 9.16 mills.
The current millage rate reflects the fact

WILKES-BARRE Nearly two years
after Luzerne Countys Day Reporting
Center opened, 36peoplehavecomplet-
ed the program successfully, approxi-
mately 75 currently participate and the
county has saved more than $3 million.
The programnot only reduces the
prison population and recidivism, but
makes the community safer, Luzerne
County Correctional Facility Warden
Joseph Piazza said on Thursday at an
open house where Luzerne County offi-
cials were invitedtotour the facility and
learn about what the center has to offer.
(The DRC) allows clients to spend
time with family, teaches them to reth-
ink (their life to become) more produc-
tive, constructive and do whats right
instead of breaking the law, Piazza
said.
The center opened in July 2010 and is
operated by Behavioral Invention, Inc.,
on Wilkes-Barre Boulevard in Wilkes-
Barre.
The programis the second of its kind
in Pennsylvania, and is centered on re-
forming those who have gone through
the criminal justice system and cutting
costs by reducing the number of in-
mates being lodged at the county pris-
on.
Non-violent offenders selectedfor the
program are placed on home confine-
ment and must report to the center for
drug and alcohol testing and to partici-
pate in mandatory treatment plans.
Typically, it costs $94 a day to house
an inmate at the county prison. The
DRCprogramreduces that to about $38
a day, saving the county over $3 million
since the program began, Piazza said.
DRCdirector Jennifer Lombardosaid
of the people who have participated
over the past two years, only four have
gone on to reoffend.
Lombardo said the program has a 78
percent compliance rate and she is go-
ing better than we thought since it be-
gan in 2010. She noted 55 percent of cli-
ents are gainfully employed.
The support of the (Luzerne Coun-
ty) judges is fantastic, and they are re-
ferring people all the time, Lombardo
said. After a guilty plea or conviction, or
at sentencing a judge might make a de-
fendant eligible to participate in the
DRC program.
John Hogan, program manager, said

FORTY FORT A Marine color
guard proudly led a parade along
Wyoming Avenue on Saturday as part of
the boroughs125th anniversary cele-
bration.
Other activities were being held
though today at the soccer complex
behind the Wyoming Valley Airport.
This is really a wonderful event,
said George Kaeters, as he watched the
colorful parade pass from the tree lawn
of his handsomely appointed home on
Wyoming Avenue. The weather is
perfect.
The parade featured the Wyoming
Valley West Marching Band and cheer-
leaders, Scouting troops from Forty
Fort, as well as a number of dignitaries
from the borough riding atop vintage
convertibles.
A number of fire and rescue squads
from throughout the Wyoming Valley
came out in their equipment to honor
Forty Fort, along with crowd favorite,
Luzerne County Sheriffs Department
Motorcycle Patrol.
A number of parade participants on
floats threw handfuls of Tootsie Rolls,
bubblegum and lollipops
to the eager children
lined along the parade
route.
We love to see the
avenue dressed up like
this, said a member of a
happy crowd gathered
outside Sals Pizza on the
corner of Hughes Street.
We couldnt be happier
than we are today for the
town of Forty Fort. This is what com-
munity is all about.
The parade culminated at the event
grounds adjacent to the airport, where
paradegoers were able to partake of
rides, refreshments and entertainment.

CAIRO
Egypt releasing vote results
E
gypt planned to release results from
disputed presidential elections
today, the countrys top elections com-
mission official said an announce-
ment that will put an end to nerve-
wracking uncertainty about who is the
official winner, but promises no resolu-
tion to the power struggles between
Islamists, the military and other fac-
tions.
A gathering of secular-leaning poli-
ticians criticized on Saturday what
they said was U.S. meddling on behalf
of the Muslim Brotherhood, which has
claimed victory. Other secularists have
stood behind the Islamist group, call-
ing it the likely legitimate winner and
the best hope in the current circum-
stances against continued military
domination of the country.
NEW YORK
Arrest in triple murder
A passenger in the BMW where
three men were found shot to death
this month near Columbia University
was arrested Saturday in their deaths,
police said.
The victims might have been in-
volved in stealing from drug dealers
and were hit in retaliation, police had
said after the June 7 killings. The gun-
man was believed to have been sitting
in the backseat when the car stopped,
and he fired quickly, police spokesman
Paul Browne said. The tinted windows
would have made it difficult to see
from the outside.
Police didnt release the suspects
name, saying they were waiting for
charges to be filed. Police have reco-
vered the gun used in the killings, they
said Saturday, and have found DNA
linking the suspect to the shootings.
Police say the DNA came from a shirt
the gunman discarded near the crime
scene.
JERUSALEM
Threat of more attacks
Gazas militant Hamas rulers threat-
ened to escalate fighting with Israel on
Saturday after airstrikes killed several
gunmen in the coastal territory, and
Palestinian rocket attacks on Israel
wounded one person and damaged an
elementary school in the countrys
south.
The two sides periodically clash, but
this flare-up was the most serious in
months. It started with an attack by a
little known al-Qaida-inspired Pal-
estinian militant group but has extend-
ed to drag in Hamas.
Hamas has largely stayed out of
direct confrontation with Israel since a
war more than three years ago al-
though other factions have launched
cross-border attacks.
SARATOGA SPRINGS, UTAH
Fire forces residents to flee
Unpredictable winds and high tem-
peratures were challenging crews in
their battle Saturday against a Utah
wildfire that forced more than 2,300
people to flee their homes.
Firefighters were posted around
neighborhoods in Saratoga Springs and
Eagle Mountain, about 40 miles south
of Salt Lake City, after the blaze
burned within a quarter mile of some
homes Friday, said Bureau of Land
Management spokeswoman Teresa
Rigby.
No homes have burned, she said, and
fire officials want to see what the near-
ly 9-square-mile fire on tinder-dry
grasslands does Saturday afternoon
before deciding whether residents can
return to homes.

Cheers! Youre a graduate now
A navy officer drinks champagne from
a huge wine glass containing his dirk,
or dagger, presented to navy gradu-
ates as he celebrates graduation from
a navy institute in St. Petersburg,
Russia, Saturday. Graduation ceremo-
nies are held all over Russia now as
students of elementary and high
schools and military academies finish
their education.
ANKARA, Turkey Syria
said Saturday it shot down a
Turkish reconnaissance plane
because the plane entered its
airspace, insisting it was not
an attack as both sides desper-
ately tried to de-escalate the
episode before it exploded into
a regional conflagration.
Turkey threatened to retal-
iate but did not say what action
it would take as it searched for
the aircrafts two missing pi-
lots.
The downed plane height-
ened tensions between two
countries that had been allies
before Syrias 15-month violent
uprising, and signaled that the
violence gripping Syria is in-
creasingly bleeding outside its
borders. Germany and Iraq
were among the countries urg-
ing restraint in the region.
Syria and neighboring Tur-
key had cultivated close ties be-
fore the Syrian revolt began in
March 2011, but since then Tur-
key has become one of the
strongest critics of Syrias re-
gime. Turkey hosts civilian and
military Syrian opposition
groups. That includes hun-
dreds of army defectors who
are affiliated with the Free Syr-
ian Army who collect food and
other supplies to deliver to
comrades onsmugglingroutes.
Turkish authorities also sus-
pect Damascus, which was col-
laborating with Turkey in its
fight against autonomy-seek-
ing Kurdish rebels, is nowturn-
ing a blind eye to Syria-based
Kurdish fighters who belong to
the Kurdistan Workers Party,
or PKK, considered a terrorist
organizationinthe U.S. andEu-
rope.
The plane, an unarmed F-4,
went down in the Mediterrane-
an Sea about eight miles from
the Syriantownof Latakia, Tur-
key said. Syria claimed the jet
violated its airspace over terri-
torial waters, penetrating
about six-tenths of a mile. It
said Syrian forces realized it
was a Turkish jet only after fir-
ing at it.
Ina telephoneinterviewwith
Turkish TV news channel A
Haber on Saturday, Syrian For-
eign Ministry spokesman Jihad
Makdissi said the downing was
not an attack.
An unidentified object en-
tered our airspace and unfortu-
nately as a result it was brought
down. It was understood only
later that it was a Turkish
plane, A Haber quoted Mak-
dissi in a translation of the in-
terview. There was no hostile
act against Turkey whatsoever.
It was just an act of defense for
our sovereignty.

HARRISBURG After more
than a year of being demonized
for his administrations deep
cuts in state spending for educa-
tion, Gov. Tom Corbett may
soon be able to claim some vic-
tories in his school-reform agen-
da.
As part of this weeks hand-
shake deal on a $27.7 billion
spending blue-
print, leaders
of the Republi-
can majorities
in the Legisla-
ture promised
the GOP gover-
nor they would
push for pas-
sage of four
bills he wants on his desk before
lawmakers scheduled summer
break begins a week from now.
We have some details to
work through, but I think its a
very reachable goal, said Sen-
ate Majority Leader Dominic Pi-
leggi, R-Delaware.
The proposals would expand
a tax-credit program that helps
children from low-income fam-
ilies transfer to private schools
or better public ones, establish a
process for assisting financially
distressed school districts, place
the regulation of charter schools
under a statewide board and
broaden teacher evaluations to
include students performance
on standardized tests.
All the bills need majority
support to become law. None is
a slam dunk, especially when
lawmakers have only a week to
pass a state budget and deal
with other bills competing for
their attention.
But the proposed expansion
of the Educational Improvement
Tax Credit clearly has a leg up.
The leadership agreement tenta-
tively calls for a $75 million in-
crease one of the largest in a
discretionary program from the
budget now in place that
would double spending in the
program to $150 million in the
year that starts July 1. Money
for public schools, meanwhile,
would remain level.
Corbett campaigned for gov-
ernor in 2010 on a promise to
open an array of taxpayer-fi-
nanced alternatives to public
schools, but so far has not deliv-
ered.

are possible

MIAMI The bullying that bus mon-
itor Karen Klein endured on a ride home
from an upstate New York school was
painful and egregious, but also shows
how student harassment of teachers and
administrators has become more spiteful
and damaging in the online era.
Much attention has been paid to stu-
dents who bully students in class, after
school andonthe Internet. Less has been
given to equally disturbing behavior by
students who harass instructors, princi-
pals and other adults.
Its something thats long existed;
think ganging up on the substitute teach-
er. But it has become increasingly cruel
and even dangerous as students get ac-
cess toadvancedtechnology at earlier ag-
es.
In Maryland, students posed as their
vice principals twin 9-year-old daughters
on pedophile websites, saying they had
been having sex with their father and
were looking for a new partner. Else-
where, students have logged on to neo-
Nazi and white supremacist sites claim-
ing to be a Jewish or minority teacher
and inciting the groups anger. Others
have stolen photographs from teachers
cellphones and posted them online.
The ways they provoke teachers are
limited only by their imaginations, said
lawyer Parry Aftab, who described the
above cases as just a few of the hundreds
shes handled.
Compared with those, what happened
toKleininGreece, N.Y., a suburbof Roch-
ester, was mild, Aftab said.
Students poked the bus monitor with a
textbook, called her a barrage of obscen-
ities and threatened to urinate on her
front door, among other callous insults.
One student taunted: You dont have a
family because they all killed themselves
because they dont want to be near you.
Kleins oldest son killed himself 10
years ago.
Eventually, she appears to break down
intears. Acellphone videoof the incident
posted on YouTube went viral.
There is nodata collectedonhowoften
students bully and harass teachers and
other school authorities.
The most recent school safety report
from the National Center for Education
Statistics, the data branch of the U.S. De-
partment of Education, found that 5 per-
cent of public schools reported students
verbally abused teachers on a daily or
weekly basis. Also, 8 percent of second-
ary school teachers reported being
threatened with injury by a student, as
did 7 percent of elementary teachers.
Is what we sawinthis video occurring
with many children every day with
adults? No, said Ken Trump, president
of the National School Safety and Securi-
tyServices, a Cleveland-basedconsulting
firm. One incident is one too many, but
we certainly have a problem where the
authority of educators and school sup-
port personnel has been undermined.
One of the new ways that students are
harassing teachers has become known as
cyberbaiting. Students irritate a teach-
er to the point that the teacher breaks
down; that reaction then is captured in
photos or video to post online. A Norton
Online Family Report published last year
found that 21 percent of teachers had ex-
perienced or knew another teacher who
had experienced cyberbaiting.
Bullying of teachers more damaging
Advanced technology has made
abuse become increasingly cruel and
even dangerous.

PHILADELPHIA Mild-
mannered Bill Lynn proved a loy-
al, likable colleague as he
climbedthe ranks of the powerful
Roman Catholic Archdiocese of
Philadelphia.
A jury on Friday found the
meek monsignor too loyal for his
own good, convicting himof a fe-
lony for refusing to challenge his
cardinal and stop the cover-up of
child sex abuse by priests.
Lynns convictionis the first for
a U.S. church official and comes
in a diocese nowbeset by layoffs,
parish closures and a new round
of soul searching over the long-
running abuse scandal.
Why does this stand out? Be-
cause he didnt say no, said
Chris Walsh, a city pastor who
leads the Association of Philadel-
phia Priests, an independent
group formed last year to gather
support andinformationfor rank-
and-file priests.
Lynns conviction comes the
weekend some Philadelphia par-
ishes are celebrating their final
Masses before closing for good
and priests are saying goodbye
before their traditional June
transfers. Meanwhile, the arch-
diocese is cutting 45 jobs to help
close a $17 million deficit, which
it calls unrelatedtolegal bills that
hit $10 millionthis fiscal year, not
even counting most of Lynns
trial costs.
Lynn, 61, is spending his first
weekend in custody. He faces 3
1/2 to 7 years in prison on the en-
dangerment charge.
His case shines light onthe cul-
ture of obedience ingrained in
Catholics, especially priests.
Archdiocesan priests in Philadel-
phia take vows of obedience to
their archbishop, and trial testi-
mony demonstrated that Cardi-
nal Anthony Bevilacqua treated a
priest whistle-blower more
harshly thansome priest abusers.
You dont say no to Cardinal
Bevilacqua, Monsignor James
Beisel said last month when he
testified as a defense witness.
The trial shows the need for re-
newed debate about the relation-
ship between obedience and con-
science, one Catholic academic
said.
The Catholic church hierar-
chy certainly thinks theres too
much discussion in the U.S.
about conscience, that people
use it to justify any kind of pro-
clivity, said Mathew Schmalz, a
religious studies professor at the
College of the Holy Cross in Wor-
cester, Mass. But in this case,
there are some really deep issues
about when do you stand up to
the actions of those superiors.
Lynn, after a stint as a semina-
ry dean, was hand-picked by Be-
vilacqua for the secretary for cler-
gys office in1991. He spent a year
as an understudy before becom-
ing secretary in June 1992. He
soon learned the job involved
more than priest assignments
and routine personnel matters.
There also was the matter of
the secret church archives con-
taining child sexual abuse com-
plaints lodged over the years
against Philadelphia priests.
There were hundreds of them,
dating to the 1940s. And more
than 100 priests, many of them
still active, were accused.
Bevilacqua wanted Lynn to
spearhead the complaints.
I never asked for an assign-
ment, and I never asked out of
one, Lynn testified.
By his own account, Lynn was
an adept bureaucrat. He was or-
ganized. He was hardworking.
And he was discreet.
Lynn and his assistant, Beisel,
set out to gauge the scope of the
problem. They took to the task
each night for about two weeks,
using passcodes to enter the
locked room near the golden-
domed Basilica of Saints Peter
and Paul that housed the secret
files. Beisel couldnt standit. Giv-
enthe late hour, he just wantedto
hurry up and get home, he testi-
fied.
Nonetheless, they compiled a
15-page list of names and sex
acts, noting whether the priests
were diagnosed pedophiles or
presumed guilty based on their
ownadmissions. They also noted
whether the statute of limita-
tions had run for legal action.
A version of that list became a
smoking gun at trial. The list
went missingfor morethana dec-
ade. Lynn told a grand jury about
it in2004but saidhecouldnt find
it. A copy that had been stashed
in a locked, long-abandoned safe
surfaced at the archdiocese days
after Bevilacquas death in Janu-
ary. So, too, dida1994memothat
shows Bevilacqua ordering
Lynns supervisors toshredall co-
pies of the list.
Many institutions try to pro-
tect their reputations, but shred-
ding documents takes it to a new
level, Schmalz said.
Shredding documents es-
pecially with Watergate and all
this history we have of institu-
tional malfeasancedoes havea
symbolic significance that goes
beyond the view of the Catholic
church as being closed and insu-
lar, he said. So it is shocking to
think what must have gone on
leading up to that decision.
The task fell to Monsignor
James Molloy, who died in 2006.
But Bishop Joseph R. Cistone
signed off as witnessing the lists
destruction. He now leads the
diocese of Saginaw, Mich. Nei-
ther he nor retired Allentown
Bishop Edward Cullen, Bevilac-
quas top aide, was called to testi-
fy.
Nor did they come to Lynns
defense. Few, if any, church offi-
cials have stepped forward to
share in the blame for the sex
abuse scandal, even though Dis-
trict Attorney Seth Williams said
Friday that many have dirty
hands.
Walsh said: The cardinal
could have done that a year ago,
two years ago, and obviously
Bishop Cullen and Bishop Cis-
tone could still do it.
Beisel, overwhelmed by the
clergy office job, quit after a year.
Lynn stayed for more than a dec-
ade. But he was the rare aide to
Bevilacqua who was never made
a bishop.
By 2004, Bevilacqua had re-
tired, the clergy sexual abuse
scandal had erupted in Boston,
and a grand jury investigation
was under way in Philadelphia.
U.S. bishops had adopted a zero
tolerance policy for accused
priests. And newdiocesan panels
were being formed to handle
abuse complaints, with varying
degrees of success.
It was time for Lynn to move
on. Submissive to the end, he
said he declined to request his
next assignment. Instead, he ac-
cepted a desirable posting as pas-
tor of a large, upscale parish in
suburban Downingtown. He was
put on leave after his arrest last
year. Loyal parishioners from St.
Josephs attended his trial.
Case shines light on obedience in Catholic church
Monsignor Bill Lynns
conviction is first for U.S.

Stray cats are a nuisance in
some Northeastern Pennsylvania
communities, but a nonprofit is
working on a portable solution.
Since 2009 Barbara Loch, clin-
ical director of Eastern PA Ani-
mal Alliance, has been able to
spay and neuter 12,000 cats and
dogs through its mobile clinic
and home office in the Poconos.
Also traveling in the Wyoming
Valley-Scrantonareas are veterin-
ary medical doctor Kimberly
Mah, three technicians and vol-
unteers.
With the abundance of strays,
the staff has only had enough
time to visit its stationary loca-
tionfour times inthe past month.
We dont want to help people
who can only make it to Brod-
headsville where the operation
is based, Loch said.
The mobile office specializes
and encourages a trap, neuter
and release service for feral fe-
lines and is cheaper than most
veterinary hospitals.
The self-efficient truck houses
an anesthesia machine, a surgery
table and an area for recupera-
tion.
Were like any other vet hospi-
tal except without all the bells
and whistles, Mah said.
The Animal Alliance staff ex-
pects people to trap the cats
themselves, but trained volun-
teers are available to lend a hand
if necessary.
After the cats are spayed or
neutered, the staff recommends a
24-hour recovery period before
releasing the animals back into
its original colony.
Our main concern is getting
the cat population under control.
The thing is, you need to fix 70
percent tomakeanimpact, Loch
said.
One of the most overgrowncol-
onies the staff visited was in the
Poconos where nearly 1,000 cats
roamed freely. Only 100 were
sterilized.
Some people will never solve
their issue, Loch admitted.
Although the truck is intended
for feral cats, Loch and the tech-
nicians are able to accommodate
dogs less than 40 pounds.
Pet owners should also look at
getting their domesticated cats
or dogs fixed.
A lot of people dont think
their pet will get out, but then
they do theres a whole litter to
account for, said Loch.
Spaying and neutering also de-
creases mammary and prostate
cancer.
The black veterinary truck can
be seen trailing up and down
eastern Pennsylvania as far east
as Matamoras, Pike County on
the border of New Jersey to and
Meshoppen in Wyoming County
and Bloomsburg in Columbia
County.
This week it made its way to
Griffin Pond Animal Shelter in
South Abington Township where
tabby cats were found tiptoeing
around the shelter grounds. The
strays were either greeting those
coming in and out of the building
or loungingabout onthe first offi-
cial day of summer.
We work with them so they
dont have to put as many down,
Loch said.
According to Eastern Pennsyl-
vania Animal Alliances website,
feral cats do not require an ap-
pointment.
Loch, Mah and the technicians
will be in Wilkes-Barre Township
Monday to spay and neuter cats
only. Each cat must be registered
between 8:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m.

fromthe current.
We came out dry, so thats a
wininour book, saidKevinLe-
wis, who paddled for Wilkes-
Barre Citys team with his fa-
ther Dave Sr. andbrothers Dave
Jr. and Mark.
Last year Wilkes-Barres
team wasnt so lucky capsiz-
ing its boat and sending Mayor
Tom Leighton and others into
do, such as this, that the public
will view the river as a trea-
sure.
Organizers acknowledged
Agnes and the Tropical Storm
Lee with a sign at the River
Common portal marking the
rivers crest during those
events, but they didnt dwell on
disaster.
Todays a day to celebrate
the river, said Vinnie Cotrone,
President of the Riverfront
Parks Committee. Its June; its
Rivers Month, sothats what we
want to focus on, and weve got
a good crowd here today.
Day two of the three-day fes-
tival sawthe return of many ac-
tivities added to a RiverFest li-
neup expanded in recent years,
including a 12-mile kayak and
canoe trip from Harding to
Wilkes-Barre and rehearsal for
tomorrows dragon boat races.
More than 200 paddlers
made the four-hour journey
south from Harding, with most
emerging tired but smiling at
the Nesbitt Park boat launch at
around1 p.m.
It was more challenging
than I thought but I loved it,
said Joette Anthony of Moun-
tain Top as she carried her kay-
ak ashore. Id definitely do it
again.
It was a lot of fun, a good
workout and the satisfaction at
the end was so great, said 12-
year-old Duncan Lumia after
completingthesojournwithhis
father Paul. Thats the thing
about things like this; you just
feel good at the end.

Its all about working in uni-

work in sync or you sink and
swim.
Greg Chang, a dragon boat
coach with dragon 22 Dragons
the company that brought the
racing vessels to Wilkes-Barre
said Lewis had the right idea.
Its all about teamwork,
Chang said. Its accessible to
everyone fromteenagers all the
way up. The only difference is
how competitive you want to
be. But once youget onthe boat
its all about teamwork.
There were also plenty of ac-
tivities for those who elected to
stay landside, including food
vendors, live music, more than
40 environmentally-themed ex-
hibits, childrens games, wild-
life exhibitions, pony rides and
childrens tree climbing.
It was like climbing at my
grandmas house, 8-year-old
Ozzie Dombrowalski of Duryea
said after climbing down from
an ancient maple tree; the high-
est hedever scaled. It was kind
of exciting.
Its great, Ozzies father
Mike Dombrowalski said of the
event. Theres a good showing
out here, nice weather and
weve still got a lot of good here
to take the kids to.
And lots of fun games to
play, Ozzie chimed in.
This weekend was the first
RiverFest for Carol Parenzan
Smalley, the new Middle Sus-
quehanna Riverkeeper. Ap-
pointedthreeweeks ago, Paren-
zan Smalley one of 200 water
keepers aroundtheworldandis
charged with acting as a public
voice for the Susquehanna.
Events like this allow me to
connect withpeopleinthecom-
munity sothat they knowwhoI
am and I know who they are,
said. Its not me watching the
river; its thecommunitywatch-
ing the river.
RiverFest continues today
with a kayak trip from Wilkes-
Barre to Hunlock Creek, and
dragon boat races from10 a.m.
until 3 p.m.

RIVERFEST
Missed your chance to paddle a
dragon boat?
RiverFest organizers said the
Riverfront Parks Committee is
planning a new, even bigger
dragon boat festival September
8 and 9. As opposed to the eight
teams vying today, organizers
hope to 20 to 30 teams will sign
up for the September festival.
It doesnt have to be a corpo-
rate team, Riverfront Parks
Committee President Vinnie
Cotrone said. We got Parker-
Hill Church thats paddling to-
day. It could be a gym, it could
be community organization.
Cotrone and RiverFest Coor-
dinator John Maday said the
event would act as a fundraiser
for the Riverfront Parks Com-
mittee, with proceeds funding
programming at the River Com-
mon. Cotrone said registration
fees for a 21-member team will
cost $2,000, or less than $100
per paddler.

perienced by recent classes.
Some students, having heard
or seen how difficult it was for
their predecessors to find a job in
their field -- or any job -- set out to
make themselves more marketa-
ble and attractive to potential
employers.
I put a little extra effort forth,
said Devin Albrecht, who gradu-
ated in May with a mechanical
engineering degree from Wilkes.
I gave it everything I had. The
odds were against me but I used
hardwork anddiligence. I was re-
ally looking for a job since I was a
freshman.
Internships can help
Internships, workshops and
volunteering are common paths
looking for an edge in the work
force.
We always encourage stu-
dents to participate in intern-
ships, said Bernie Rushmere, di-
rector of The Insalaco Center for
Career Development at Miser-
icordia University in Dallas
Township.
A study released recently by
Boston-based Millennial Brand-
ing showed 91percent of employ-
ers think that students should
have between one and two in-
ternships before they graduate
college.
Theexpectationthat havingan
internship can lead to a job no
longer exists, saidDanSchawbel,
founder of Millennial Branding.
Students should strive to have as
many internships as possible be-
fore graduation and not rely on a
single employer for a job offer.
Albrecht landed a position at
Unison Engine Components in
Wilkes-Barre. Hespent twosemes-
ters interning there and credits
that experience for helping to se-
cure his engineering job.
Absolutely no doubt in my
mind, without the internships I
wouldnt be working here, Al-
brecht, of Shavertown, said. He
said he applied for jobs in his field
at two area companies and was of-
fered jobs at each. The internship,
hesaid, addedvaluableexperience
to his resume.
Natasha Jankowsky, a Trucks-
ville resident who earnedher mas-
ters of physical therapy degree
from Misericordia last month, did
internships at three separate plac-
es over the past two years and
landedajobat oneof them, ProRe-
habilitation in Hanover Township.
She said for her the internships
were helpful but it was her chosen
field that really made the differ-
ence in her ability to get a job. Un-
like other recent graduates, she
said she never once felt that wor-
ry because I knewI was getting in-
to a field that was quickly grow-
ing.
One course: more degrees
Some students have taken an-
other approach to competing
with this years 1.7 million col-
lege graduates. Theyve filled the
white space on their resumes
withmore thana single degree. A
concentration, focus, minor or
certificates are enhancement to
make themmore desirable toem-
ployers.
Kathleen Lavelle, 22, Avoca,
graduated from The University
of Scranton with a double major
in biochemistry, cell and molec-
ular biologyandHispanic studies
with a minor in philosophy.
I have shadowed physicians
and volunteered in a clinical set-
ting all four years of college. Id
attribute my success in my field
to these experiences, she said.
Lavelle combined an interest
with practicality in choosing her
courses.
I added a second major in
Spanish because I love studying
the language on the logistical
side, speaking Spanish will make
me a more marketable appli-
cant, she said.
Lavelle has yet tolookfor a job,
but will keep busy for at least the
next year building her resume.
She was awarded a 2012-13 Ful-
bright Teaching Assistantship to
Spain where she will teach En-
glish, natural and social sciences
at secondary schools. Afterward,
she plans to enroll in medical
school like many of her class-
mates.
Others, she said, found jobs
working in research labs, phar-
maceutical companies or as sec-
ondary school science teachers.
Just any graduate degree may
not be as valuable as some stu-
dents believe, said Christopher
Sutzko, director of career plan-
ning at Kings College.
I dont think going to grad
school to buy more time is the
best idea, he said.
Seek employer subsidy
Sutzko advocates students
find an employer who will subsi-
dize the graduate work. This way
a student will not have to take on
the full financial burden.
Sutzko has been working at
Kings College to help students
in job searches since 2007.
Ill never tell a parent well get
your child a job, internship or
what graduate to school attend.
We direct them to choosing that
for themselves, Sutzkosaid. Its
a proactive model of career devel-
opment.
Despite, or because, of his ad-
vice, he has noticed a fluctuation
in Kings graduates continuing
their education. According to
Sutzko, in 2012, 31 percent of
Kings College graduates contin-
ued either full time or part time.
In 2011, after a six-month survey,
24 percent were enrolled in fur-
ther education and 26 percent in
2010.
Overall, Kings has maintained
about a 90 percent placement
rate for students that completed
the six month survey. Placement
includes graduates that continue
their education, enlist in the mil-
itary, find a full-time or part-time
position in their field or full-time
volunteer work in such organiza-
tions as the Peace Corps.
The need to have an under-
graduate or graduate degree de-
pends on the career field, but at-
taining at least one is often the
key to employment.
The reality is having a degree
opens doors, said Mary Kuna.
It gets you into fields and in-
volved with organizations you
would never be able to be part of
without one.
Kuna holds two degrees: a
bachelors in political science
with a minor in psychology from
The University of Scranton. As of
May she holds a masters in ur-
ban affairs and public policy fo-
cused in urban and regional plan-
ning.
But Kuna, a 24-year-old Pitt-
ston native, has yet to obtain a
position in her field.
I believe the right job will
come along, but there is a senti-
ment among many young adults
that we want to work in what we
love, she said.
Guaranteed placement
Jankowsky, the Misericordia
graduate, said she chose a career
she loves and it worked out for
her that it was also one with a de-
mand for jobs.
In order to aid the job hunt, Mi-
sericordia began a Guaranteed
Placement Programin1999. It is a
free program available to incom-
ing freshman that are interviewed
and put through workshops
throughout college.
When fully completed, it prom-
ises a job in the students chosen
field or acceptance into grad
school. If a position is not found
within six months Misericordia
provides a three-month paid in-
ternship.
Two hundred students success-
fully completed the programwith-
out needing the internship.
Dustin Watts graduated from
Misericordia last year with a bach-
elors degree in business and a fo-
cus in marketing.
I chose my degree strictly be-
cause I love advertising, Watts
said. Heis oneof themanysuccess
stories the program can take par-
tial credit for. Why not take a
guaranteeinthis economy? Watts
said.
His career is nowat a Target in
Stroudsburg as executive team
leader for asset protection.
I am paying my own educa-
tion and it is extremely impor-
tant to take a job. Otherwise you
are just gaining interest on those
loans you have, he said.

State Rep. Sid Michaels Kavulich,
D-Taylor, is encouraging students
and businesses to participate in
the Pennsylvania Work-Study
Program administered by the
Pennsylvania Higher Education
Assistance Agency.
College students and businesses
both benefit from this valuable
program that offers an opportuni-
ty for businesses to expand their
workforce and offers students
valuable work experience, he
said.
Employers can realize cost savings
in hiring students since the pro-
gram reimburses between 30 and
40 percent of the students eligi-
ble earnings.
Students may work up to 40 hours
per week and any job that relates
to the students major or minor
course of study is eligible for
work-study funding.

Its not over, he said. We just
have to wait it out and see what
the investigators come up with.
Tom Pugh, former vice presi-
dent at Allied Services John
Heinz Institute, is a Penn State
graduate, as are his four children.
He said he is incredibly disap-
pointed in Sandusky and he
should be severely punished for
his deeds. Like Hudacek, Pugh
sees a long road ahead for Penn
State to recover from the case.
Im sure the university will
face several lawsuits, Pugh said.
The Board of Trustees contin-
ues its investigation and the Big
10andNCAAare alsoprobingthe
school. It will be a very long time
before Penn State is out of this.
Pugh said the jury deliberated
onall the charges andcame tothe
correct decision
Its reallyunfortunate that one
person can ruin so many lives,
Pugh said. He ruined the lives of
his victims and he ruined the
lives of the people for whom he
worked for so many years and
who trusted him.
Hudacek, a former county
prothonotary, said the prosecu-
tions case was solid.
There was no way they could
lose, Hudacek said. All the evi-
dence was against Sandusky. All
those victims did a good job tell-
ing their stories.
Former Luzerne County Judge
Peter Paul Olszewski said Sand-
uskys decision not to testify was
the death knell.
But had he testified, he would
have faceda serious challenge be-
cause his (adopted) son could
have beencalledas a rebuttal wit-
ness, Olszewski said. It came
down to how badly he wanted to
lose he was cooked one way or
another.
Olszewski said the amount of
witnesses and the graphic testi-
monytheyofferedweretoomuch
for the defense toovercome. Cou-
ple that with lead prosecutor Joe
McGettigan whom Olszewski
knows well and Sanduskys fate
was sealed.
JoeMcGettiganis averysavvy
prosecutor, Olszewski said. He
knows how to try cases.
Luzerne County Public De-
fender Al Flora commended both
McGettigan and Joe Amendola
(Sanduskys attorney) for a job
well done. He said the prosecu-
tion didnt belabor anything.
There was no beating around
the bush, Flora said. Thats why
it was such a short trial.
Flora said the witnesses testi-
mony was crucial. He said with
so many complainants, the de-
fense was faced with too much to
overcome.
Flora saidit was Sanduskys de-
cision not to testify, not his attor-
neys decision.
Im sure there was a lot of dis-
cussion and the decision was
probably made at the last min-
ute, he said. Its hard to eval-
uate whether he should have tes-
tified, but if he did, the prosecu-
tion could have called rebuttal
witnesses. It would have become
a free-for-all.
As far as an appeal, Olszewski
said the only issue that could
merit an appeal is Judge John
Clelands refusal to grant at least
one continuance in the case. He
said it would have given the de-
fense more time to prepare its
case.
Had he granted at least one
continuance, that would not be
an issue for appeal, he said. But
now it is an issue.
Flora said the testimony of-
fered was enough to convict
Sandusky. He said the prosecu-
tion didnt need corroborating
evidence.
As far as Sanduskys sentence,
Flora saidhe expects a lot of man-
datory minimum five years or
more for many of the counts.
Hudacek said Penn State now
has to start to rebuild its reputa-
tion. Penn State has just got to
believe what happened did hap-
pen, he said. They have to rally
aroundthe alumni andofficials at
the university and start all over
again.
HudaceksaidPennState is still
a great institution. This nega-
tive image is attached to Penn
State because the individual was
a former Penn State football
coach, he said. Weve got to
take the heat and there will be a
lot of heat.
Jim Brozena, executive direc-
tor of the Luzerne County Flood
Protection Authority, is a Penn
State graduate who renewed his
Nittany Lion season tickets.
This is one more step in the
healing process for Penn State,
he said. Weve got to get it be-
hind us.
Flora said prosecutors will
look at any obstruction on the
part of Penn State officials, such
as mandatory reporting require-
ments that may have been violat-
ed.
SANDUSKY
they felt too unprepared to ade-
quately defend him because of
how quickly the case was
brought to trial. Experts have
said the seven months between
Sanduskys November arrest
and trial was fast-paced by Penn-
sylvania standards.
We told the trial court, the
Superior Court andthe Supreme
Court we were not prepared to
proceed to trial in June due to
numerous issues, and we asked
to withdraw from the case for
those reasons, attorney Joe
Amendola told The Associated
Press.
The issues included a schedul-
ing conflict with a defense team
member and the need to read a
cache of documents producedby
a lengthy grand jury investiga-
tion. Judge John Cleland denied
their request.
The attorneys raised other is-
sues that could be part of the fu-
ture appeal, saying a mistrial
was sought and denied over a
repetition at trial of a brief part
of a November interview Sand-
usky had with NBCs Bob Cos-
tas.
Jurors in the two-week trial
convicted Sandusky of 45 of the
48 counts against him, meaning
Sandusky, 68, likely will die in
prison.
Harper said the accusers who
testified one by one of horrific
abuse at Sanduskys hands were
each believable, but then also
the fact that we saw this corrob-
orating story between all of
them. It was very convincing.
Then Sanduskys impassive
face when the verdict was read
was confirmation for the jury, he
said.
I looked at him during the
reading of the verdict and just
the lookonhis face. Noreal emo-
tion, he said, because he knew
it was true.
Harper said jurors had some
issues with the testimony of
Mike McQueary, a then-assist-
ant who said he saw Sandusky
assaulting a boy in the Penn
State showers in 2001; jurors ac-
quitted Sandusky on one count
relating to the incident.
The case is poised to move to
an investigation of university of-
ficials role in reporting the
charges; two ex-school adminis-
trators face trial on charges they
didnt properly report McQue-
arys account of the suspected
abuse in 2001.
Almost immediately after the
verdict, Penn State President
Rodney Erickson signaled an
openness to quickly settle poten-
tial civil lawsuits arising from
the convictions, saying the
school wants toprovidea forum
where the university canprivate-
ly, expeditiously and fairly ad-
dress the victims concerns and
compensate them for claims.
The university recently re-
ported a $1.8 billion endow-
ment. But both sides have rea-
sons not to want to go to court,
said Jason Kutulakis, a Harris-
burg-area lawyer who specializ-
es in child welfare and juvenile
law. Victims are reluctant to get
on the stand and have their cred-
ibility attacked, he said.
But Penn States got so much
egg on their face, they probably
just want to make it all go away,
he said.
For now, the school is facing
one lawsuit froman accuser, Tra-
vis Weaver, who was not among
those represented in the crimi-
nal case against Sandusky.
Lawyers for McQueary, who
testified against Sandusky, have
signaled their intent to sue,
along with a lawyer for one ac-
cuser, so-called Victim 5.
Jeff Anderson, who represents
Weaver, said that he represents
more victims of Sanduskys and
that hewill askthecourt toallow
him to begin seeking informa-
tion fromPenn State in Weavers
case.
The next step is to determine
the extent of Penn States culpa-
bility, lawyers say. In part, that
means finding out who in the
universitys upper ranks knew
Sandusky was preying on boys
and could have stopped it.
The former Penn State offi-
cials facing charges, athletic di-
rector Tim Curley and retired
vice president Gary Schultz, are
charged with lying to a grand ju-
ry about what they knew of a
2001 incident in which McQue-
ary said he saw Sandusky as-
saulting a boy in a football team
shower.
Aseparate investigation by ex-
FBI director Louis Freeh, who
was hired by Penn States board
of trustees to investigate the uni-
versitys handling of the Sandus-
ky allegations, is due later this
summer.
Hall of Fame coach Joe Pater-
no was fired for a failure of lead-
ership for not going to the police
after McQueary told him about
that incident. The scandal also
causedthe departure of universi-
ty president Graham Spanier.
Philadelphia-based lawyer
Fortunato Perri Jr., who fol-
lowed the trial, said the jurys
dismissal of the charge involving
the 2001 shower incident could
help Curley and Schultz de-
fense.
Youve nowhad a jury kind of
preview your case with respect
to the credibility of McQueary,
and they didnt believe him,
Perri said. Who knows if the
next jury would believe him or
not believe him?
But the administrators attor-
neys would probably be preclud-
ed from introducing the acquit-
tal evidence at the separate trial,
Perri said.
Sanduskys sentencing should
be in about three months; an ex-
act date hasnt been set. Because
of the severity of the charges and
mandatory minimum sentences
he faces an effective life sen-
tence.
Until his next court date,
Sandusky is one of 272 inmates
at the Centre County Correc-
tional Facility, seven miles from
the Penn State campus. He was
kept under watch overnight and
is allowed access to some per-
sonal items including a prayer
book, and can get visits from
family, friends and attorneys.
Rominger said he planned to
visit him on Sunday.

a bank before joining the Navy.
The next 17 years I would hold a
variety of jobs that included
tours aboard the USS Wasp, at
the naval hospital in Bethesda
and the Fleet Hospital in Croa-
tia as part of the United Nations
peacekeeping forces in the
former Yugoslav Republic. I saw
the world with the Navy.
After seeing the world, what
brought you back to North-
eastern Pennsylvania? I took
qualities to a role model? My
dad Tony passed when I was 12.
He was a great teacher and I try
to emulate his style in terms of
parenting and life lessons. He
always instilled that helping
those that cant help them-
selves is vital in life. I apply that
with my personal life in helping
my brother Bruce, who is dis-
abled.
What was a big moment in
your life in regards to a family
member? That is easy. My
daughter received a degree in
business and I was the one who
presented her with the diploma
at the graduation.
When you are not involved
with academia what do you
like to do for more fun? I love
to water ski and take care of
our dogs: Snickers, Splash and
Squirt.

MEET JUSTIN MATUS
W
elcome, folks, to the newest
museum on Earth The
Museum of What Kids Used
to do in the Summer Years Ago
Before They All Started Griping
About Being Bored.
As you might expect, its a pretty
big museum. Thats because in the
non-techno age of the 1940s and
1950s the imaginations of young
people ruled. And if theres one
thing in this world that has no
limits, its the human mind.
Lets start with this audio display
right here. Notice the picture of the
grade-school boy standing in front
of somebodys house, carrying a
ball and bat and shouting some-
thing? Lets play the recording.
Can you make it out? Its Call
for Bob, call for Bob.
This cry was used to round up
enough pals to play a game of base-
ball in a vacant lot or a schoolyard.
I know what youre thinking:
How unutterably primitive to
use your voice rather than a key-
pad. Well, thats the way people
did business years ago. By the way,
those guys all had sisters, and they
were playing a game, too. So look
right over here.
See this? Its a book of cutout
paper dolls and lots of different
kinds of cutout clothes for them to
wear. The girls had to pick up a
pair of scissors and trim ever-so-
carefully around those little tabs so
they could hook the clothing onto
the dolls.
Then theyd make up really clev-
er stories for the dolls to act out.
You know, many a World Series
ninth-inning rally and Paris fashion
show came to a screeching halt
when mom would show up to an-
nounce to young Joe DiMaggio or
Elsa Schiaparelli that it was time
for dinner.
Hey, this is a real relic: A cloth
50-cent badge that got you into
every pool in Wilkes-Barre for the
summer. The city had about a half-
dozen swimming pools then, and
the kids spent the hot days splash-
ing around with their friends while
pretending to be Johnny Weissmull-
er or Esther Williams. Nobody was
bothering the parents for the latest
$89 game or the $239 device to
play it on.
Look over here. For a dime you
could buy a balsa wood plane like
this one that, with adjustments to
the wings, you could dispatch on
missions of national defense all
over your neighborhood.
If you had a quarter you could
own one with a noisy wind-up pro-
peller. Whooo, boy did those
things ever take off. Of course by
the end of summer the trees in
your block would be full of these
gimmicks, thanks to really bad
flight plans. But you were learning.
Where were the girls? Probably
they were riding their bikes down
to the neighborhood store to pick
up a romance comic for 10 cents or
sneak a peek into the world of
dreams in the latest issue of Mod-
ern Screen.
Yes, its true that gender roles
were pretty well set. But we still
have to give an edge to the older
days for development of imagina-
tion. Nothing was done for you;
you had to make your own game
and create your own worlds out of
simple materials.
Isnt that how progress ultimately
comes about?
Theres lots of other stuff Id like
to show you, but the museums
about to close for the day. Thanks
for visiting. Have a safe trip home
and be sure to take care of the
kids.
And when they say Im bored,
smile and give them a hearty LOL.

LOS ANGELES Amber, a soft-spoken, feminine12-year-old who loves Hello Kitty and
fashiondesign, liveswithasecret. Itisasecretmostsixth-graderscantfathom, oneshehides
behind pink skirts and makeup. It is a secret that led to all her baby pictures being tucked
away as though her childhood had never happened.
Amber was born a boy.
When she was 10, she stopped going by her given
name, Aaron, and began dressing as a girl. Last year,
she startedtaking medicationto keep her fromgoing
through puberty.
I can be who I am, Amber said. I can be a girl.
Anincreasingnumberof childrenlikeAmberarere-
alizingtheyaretransgenderandseekingcareatclinics
around the nation. Because of their age, the complex
and emotional journey is as much their parents as
their own. Families are forced to make tough deci-
sions about therapy and medication, and about what
to tell friends and relatives. They are trying to give
their children a normal upbringing with summer
camps and sleepovers while protecting them from
harmand embarrassment.
Howdo you move through society with a gender-
variant child? said Nancy Quay, a psychotherapist at
the University of Michigan gender services program.
What do you tell your neighbors? Howdo you keep
your child safe?
For Ambers parents, Michelle and Jamie, the last
few years have been a roller coaster of emotions
guilt for not recognizing earlier that their daughter
was transgender, grief over losing Aaron and worries
about Ambers future.
Thefamilyslast nameisbeingwithheldat Ambers
request. They all agreed, though, to both a video and
photographs. Michelle said their family and others
close to themknowabout Ambers transition.
Tellingtheir story, shesaid, istheright thingtodo.
Hopefullyit will bringmoreawarenessandhelpother
families.
Michellesaidshebelievesthat lettingAmbertakethe
medicationandliveas shewants is theonlyreal choice.
We are confident this is her authentic self, she said.
Jamie is supportive but not quite as sure. This is
some pretty serious territory, he said. As a parent,
you are always second-guessing yourself.

HOW DO YOU MOVE THROUGH SOCIETY WITH A GENDER-VARIANT CHILD?
WHAT DO YOU TELL YOUR NEIGHBORS? HOW DO YOU KEEP YOUR CHILD SAFE?

Amber applies makeup in the bath-
room at home. I kind of hated my-
self, Amber said referring to the
years before her transition. Now
living life as a girl, Amber says she is
much happier and excited about life.
The son you had is not there any-
more, said Ambers father Jamie,
shown above with Amber. Its not
really that you are losing a son. You
are gaining a beautiful daughter, he
added.
Amber is home schooled by Michelle
part of the week. Michelle said she
was relieved to discover that Amber
was transgender. It was just a matter
of recognizing her in her true gender
identity.
Michelle straightens Ambers hair.
Its still emotional," Michelle says of
her daughters transgender status.
Not because we were upset about the
situation. Its just we both wish we
had known so we could have support-
ed her sooner.

Favorite quote or saying? No
good deed goes unpunished.
Favorite destinations? Italy
and the Hillside ice cream (store)
here locally.
What do you think needs im-
provement most here in North-
eastern Pennsylvania? So many
small businesses do not know how
to deliver quality customer service.
People need to separate emotions
from certain situations to make
their business more profitable
when it comes to customer satis-
faction. You need to remember
that you are in business to serve
the public. If you remember that
your business will be a success.
You can learn from failure, you
cant learn from success.
You are on the boards at
Wilkes-Barre General Hospital
and the Special Care Hospital.
What are your feelings on health
care? We actually have a good
systemin this country. It is in need
of tweaking and fine tuning more
than a major overhaul. An overhaul
would end up setting us back more.
What was your proudest mo-
ment professionally? Id have to
say when I was an exchange stu-
dent in Denmark after graduating
high school. It was a life-changing
event that helped me be more self
aware and sensitive to other things
going on in the world.

der issues recommend the drugs
use in certain transgender cases,
but doctors remain divided on
whether to prescribe the contro-
versial andexpensive medication.
Supporters say the drugs can
prevent the devastation a trans-
gender girl feels when she grows
facial hair or her voice drops and
when a transgender boy develops
breasts or begins menstruating.
They can reduce depression and
anxiety andeliminate the needfor
some future surgeries, said Jo Ol-
son, Ambers doctor and the med-
ical director of the transgender
clinic at Childrens Hospital Los
Angeles.
Puberty in the right body is
hard enough, Olson said. Puber-
tyinthewrongbodyisreallyhard.
Other doctors, however, express
caution based on a lack of research.
Walter Meyer, an endocrinologist
andpsychiatristinTexaswhoworks
withtransgender patients, saidthat
puberty blockers are helpful for
some adolescents but that knowing
which ones is sometimes difficult.
Not all children who identify with
theoppositegenderendupastrans-
gender adults, he said, and giving
medicationto those may be going
too far.
The drugs are administered
through a surgical implant in the
arm or monthly injections. They
suppress the production of sex hor-
mones, making it easier to pass as
the opposite gender, Olson said. If
the youngsters stop taking the
drugs, theywill gothroughpuberty.
Olson acknowledged that doc-
tors are making clinical decisions
based on instincts and observa-
tions rather than research. Thats
what makes this incredibly diffi-
cult, she said. Olson said she pre-
scribes blockers only to adoles-
cents who are in counseling and
have been persistent about their
gender identity.
Ambers father said he thinks of
thepubertysuppressorsasastopgap
to make sure everybody is 100 per-
cent on board with the way its go-
ing.
But Amber insists she never
wants to be male. Why would I
havestartedif Iamgoingtochange
my mind?
Aaron was a toddler when he
firstmadehispreferencesclear. He
didnt like cars or trucks, choosing
Barbie dolls and dress-up clothes
instead. Early on, he was attracted
toreallyglamorous, glittery, pret-
ty things, Michelle said.
We were always thinking that
through socialization it was going
tochange, Jamiesaid. Theoppo-
site happened. The socialization
wouldcause anxiety.
School didnt go well. In kinder-
garten, afrightenedAaroncriedall
day. They switched to a private
school. That ended poorly when a
teacher handed them a video
about hownot to raise a homosex-
ual boy.
Michelle, a real estate agent, and
Jamie, amusician, decidedtohome
school Aaron. But the emotional is-
sues got worse. He rarelywantedto
go out and was increasingly anx-
ious, often refusing to eat. His par-
ents worriedabout his health.
WhenAaronwas 9, a friendsug-
gested to Michelle that he might
be transgender. She andJamie did
research, met with a therapist and
watched a television show about
transgender kids.
Michelledecidedtotrythinking
of Aaron as a girl and letting her
live life that way. So they bought
girl clothes and talked about a dif-
ferent name. Ashley? Alexandra?
They decidedonAmber.
Once I realized what was going
on, itwasahugerelief toknowthere
was something we could do to help
her, Michelle said. I just wanted
hertobecomfortablewhoshewas.
Ambers phobias and insecuri-
ties quickly began to fade. She be-
came a totally different kid, Mi-
chelle said.
Amberdecidedshewasreadyto
go back to school. She continued
tobehome-schooledpart timebut
three days a week went to a cam-
pusforotherstudentsreceivingin-
struction at home. I wanted to
start a new chapter and meet
friends, she said.
At school, Amber kept her secret.
Herteacherandprincipal knew, but
friends didnt. The school was sup-
portive but set one rule Amber
couldntusethegirls bathroom.She
usedonefor bothgenders.
Amber likedschool, but thebath-
roomrulemadeheruncomfortable.
She made up stories, like seeing
cockroaches in the girls bathroom.
One day, she was hanging out with
friends when they all went into the
bathroomtotalk. Shefollowed. Her
teacher saw the girls go in and
pulled Amber aside after she came
out. Amber felt angryandupset.
The family is weighing where
she should go to junior high
school and researching where
she could be openly transgender.
Sometimes Amber thinks it
would be cool to be around more
kids like her. But other times, she
wishes she could keep the truth
hidden forever, saying it is em-
barrassing and personal.
Over lunch recently, Michelle
told her, Someday you will have
personal relationshipsandtheyll
need to know.
I would like to have the sur-
geryearlysoI canhavea relation-
ship without anybody knowing,
Amber said.

I had no feeling in my feet and did not feel comfortable walking up
steps and maintaining my balance. My feet would swell and hurt so
bad that even a blanket on them would be painful. It limited me
because I couldnt walk even in my bare feet. Now I can walk in my
bare feet and I love it.
I now can walk up and down steps easily and dont have the
severe pain that I had. I recommend Neuropathy Center

LOOKING GREAT IS JUST
ONE OF THE PERKS!!
Personal Training
For Everyone
When I frst started at Odyssey Fitness, my intentions were to
just do cardio by using their equipment and taking classes. I
wasnt seeing the results that I thought I should be seeing. So,
I set up a meeting with Owen and had a body assessment
completed. I was a little nervous that day not knowing what
to expect, but from the start Owen made me feel comfortable.
That day began my great journey here at Odyssey Fitness.
Since working with Owen, I have lost 12 pounds, my clothes
ft better, I have a lot more energy and theres also been an
unexpected outcome which leads me to my story. For as long
as I can remember, I have had a mid-back pain which limited
some of the exercises Owen wanted me to do. Owen, along
with the rest of the training staff attended a conference and
learned some new techniques which they immediately put
to use. After he completed a new assessment which helped
identify areas that needed improvement. Since that time, we
have been doing certain stretches and exercises that have not
only helped my balance and strength, but also decreased my
chronic mid back pain! For this, I am truly grateful - Pam W.

A
s he whirled around and spotted
his target falling quickly from
sky, the little foul pop seemed to
be drifting too far away from Wyom-
ing/West Wyoming catcher Matt Hind-
marsh.
He lunged for it anyway.
And somehow, the final out of a
District 31 Little League opener Sat-
urday remained at the very tip of Hind-
marshs glove, even after he crashed
hard to the ground.
On a day almost as hot as Wyoming/
West Wyomings bats, the team savored
a different type of ice cream cone as it
headed off to face last years 11-12-year-
old champs on the strength of a 17-3
victory over Swoyersville.
I thought I was going to drop it,
Hindmarsh said, describing his play of
the day all the fans were still chattering
about as they walked away from Flack
Field. It came right at the top of my
glove. I just squeezed it a little.
But it was Wyoming/West Wyom-
ings hitting attack that really put the
pinch on, pounding its way into Mon-
days second round winners bracket
game against defending District 31
champ Back Mountain American.
Slugger Alex Hawk hammered a
homer, a double and an RBI single
during a 4-for-4 day and shortstop Matt
Silinskie matched him with four hits in
four at-bats including a three-run triple,
another triple and a double.
I was just hoping that we could
win, Hawk said.
Hope.
Thats what Little League is sup-
posed to be about.
At that level, learning takes prece-
dence.
But Wyoming/West Wyoming
learned its possible for a bunch of kids
from different teams and different
towns to come together quickly and
play as a well-polished group right
from the start of a tournament.
We were a little nervous about them
playing together, said Wyoming/West
Wyoming manager Ron Silinskie,
Matts dad. But these kids really
adapted very quickly. With the practic-
es, they really came together and really
worked hard.
Those practices were no picnic.
Sometimes, the players practiced
twice a day over the past week in an
effort to become better acquainted as
fast as possible. But one thing was
constant from the start.
Wyoming/West Wyoming could hit.
That was apparent throughout the
lineup, as Hindmarsh, Tanner Williams
and Jim Kosco all had two doubles and
a single while Matt Tarnalicki one of
the few11-year-olds on the club went
2-for-2 and scored twice.
Everybody was hitting good in prac-
tice, Hindmarsh said. I expected it to
be like this. We have a good team.
Good enough to make a deep run in
the District 31 tournament?
Wyoming/West Wyomings proud
players thought so coming in.
They know it now.
The kids worked hard all week,
Ron Silinskie said. They prepared.
They were dedicated to making them-
selves better. Swoyersvilles a good
team, they have a good pitcher. Never
expected this. We didnt expect to
come out this strong. We knew we
would be competitive.
I didnt expect to hit this well.
From the crackling hits to the diving
stabs, Wyoming/West Wyoming came
out sharp. It made the players believe
they have a chance to carve out a title
for themselves this year.
I think its one day at a time, cau-
tioned Ron Silinskie.
In Little League All-Stars, the best
days are the ones like Saturday, when
confidence soars with every swing.

With belief,
nothings ever
out of reach
Dallas High School graduate Paige
Selenski made her final game on U.S.
soil before the London Olympics count,
scoring a goal against Argentina in a 2-2
tie at the National Field Hockey Center
in Virginia Beach, Va., on Saturday.
Selenski took a lead pass from Car-
oline Nichols after she stole the ball at
midfield with 23 minutes remaining.
Charging in on the right wing 2-on-2
with Katie ODonnell, Selenski went
wide around Argentina captain Maria
Noel Barrionuevo into the circle, then
cut toward the right post. She then
launched a diving reverse-stick blast
over the outstretched leg of Argentina
goalie Florencia Mutio into the far cor-
ner of the cage for a 2-1 U.S. lead.
Shes just an amazing attacker, said
Maryland head coach Missy Meharg,
who worked on NBCSportsNets broad-
cast of the game. Shes got this back-
hand shot, even on the right side of the
field off-balance.
Its definitely a skill Ive been work-
ing on ever since going up to the college
level, Selenski said during a televised
postgame interview. Its definitely
evolved. Its one of my top shots right
now.

Having now finished one last game as
a high-schooler, Eugene Lewis has a
message for Penn State fans.
Im ready to go, Lewis said after
serving as a captain in the Big 33 game.
Its time to get ready for the big time.
Im excited and I cant wait to get up
there.
The Wyoming Valley Conference
standouts Penn State career officially
begins today as he and
the majority of the
2012 signing class ar-
rive on campus.
Classes for the final
summer session begin
Wednesday, giving in-
coming freshman like
Lewis and Valley
Views Nyeem Wart-
man a chance to get ac-
climated to college life
before preseason camp
opens Aug. 6.
For Lewis, a smooth
transition headed into
camp could lead to a
significant opportuni-
ty.
As the highest-rated recruit in the
2012 signing class, Lewis was already a
candidate to see the field as a true fresh-
man at wide receiver.
His odds likely increased this past
week with the news that senior wideout
Devon Smith has left the team for per-
sonal reasons, according to coach Bill
OBrien.
That leaves just one returningplayer
Justin Brown who caught at least 10
passes for the Nittany Lions last season.
Smith had been listed as a starter on
Penn States post-spring depth chart.
Needless to say, Penn State will be
looking for receivers to step up, regard-
less of their experience.
Im just looking forward to working
with (Lewis), and I think hes going to
end up being a real contributor to the
program, OBrien said. Whether thats
(this season), well find out howhe does
coming in. But were looking forward to
working with him for sure.

EXETERTo reach the next round
of championship golf, the team of Bill
Gill and Todd Vonderheid needed a lot
of extra swings.
Rick Lanecki and Brandon Mat-
thews are convincedthey receiveda lit-
tle extra help.
And both teams played out their in-
triguing stories on the final pin Satur-
day to reach the semifinals of the an-
nual John A. Allan Tournament at Fox
Hill Country Club.
We were just exhausted, Vonder-
heid said.
Thats understandable, since Von-
derheid and Gill survived eight playoff
holes to finally edge the team of Matt
Hoover and Jonathan Davis in front of
a festive 19th Hole under approaching
darkness.
It was mentally challenging since
8:10 this morning, said Gill, referring
to the time of the tandems opening-
round tee-off that began a day they
played 41 holes and lasted nearly 13
hours for them.
Lanecki and Matthews didnt need
quite that much time to reach todays
semis.

Ever sincefirst startingsports, Laura
Suchoski was never the player just do-
ing what she needed to get by. At 13
years old, she began playing soccer
when her mother insisted that she
played with the boys for better prac-
tice. She gradually branched out from
soccer and found an
interest in field hock-
ey. This would be the
first of many deci-
sions that would lead
her to where she
stands today.
I could have never
done this without the
support of my family and all my coach-
es throughout the years, Suchoski
said. My parents never missed a game
whether it was at home or an away
game at Michigan; I hadall the support
I needed. It really opened my eyes to
the fact that even a small girl from
Wilkes-Barre can go on and do big
things in big places anywhere.
And she has certainly accomplished
big things. Suchoski, 25, is the associ-
ate manager of social media at ESPN.
She uses social media such as Twitter
and Facebook to coordinate and pro-
mote the brand.
Her most recent project, called The
Power of IX was on display Thursday

BUL L E T I N BOARD
Sevruga is a trotter that has really blossomed this year for the team
of trainer Julie Miller and driver Andy Miller. The four-year old geld-
edsonof SJs Caviar is nowbetter thanever, winningfour times injust
six seasonal starts. In his most recent effort, back on June 8 at the
Meadowlands, Andy Miller guided Sevruga to a nice pocket trip be-
hind the classy trotter Hot Shot Blue Chip. He took advantage of the
nice ground saving journey and dusted off Hot Shot Blue Chip to win
going away in a career best mile of 1:52. Hes a versatile trotter, but
with a short field I would be surprised if Miller doesnt hustle himoff
the gate early toeither be onthe leador sit a two-hole trip. Inany case
I see this sharp KdmStables Corp. owned trotter having the final say
in that $25,000 Open Trot and score the victory in what should be an
exciting tenth race feature.

MI NOR L EAGUES
The Philadelphia bullpen has
been battered with injuries and
inconsistencies this season,
even with using promising arms
from the minors.
But there may be hope with
many relievers producing at all
levels of the minor leagues in
the organization.
The list includes Readings
Justin Friend, who may be the
closest Major League ready
reliever. He is having an amaz-
ing campaign for the R-Phils in
Double-A with a microscopic
0.38 ERA, giving up just one run
in 24 innings. That goes with 23
strikeouts, 10 walks and 12
saves. The 26-year-old has been
around for a while. He was
taken by the Phils in the 2010
Rule 5 Draft from Oakland.
A level lower at Clearwater,
23-year-old Tyler Knigge has
posted similar numbers to date.
The 6-foot-4, 215-pound right-
hander was drafted in 12th
round of 2010. Currently with
the Threshers, he has a WHIP of
0.97 with a 0.77 ERA allowing
just three runs and 22 hits in 35
innings.
The two may be at lower tiers
of the organization, but its a
sign of hope for a position in
need of a boost if not this year
then for future years.
Here are Philadelphias top 10
prospects according to
MLB.com and how they are
faring in 2012.
1. Trevor May, RHP, Reading
(Double-A): A fourth-round pick
in 2008, he followed a stellar
outing two weeks ago by taking
a loss last week allowing four
runs and seven hits in five in-
nings. For the season, he has a
4.94 ERA with 79 strikeouts in
74
2
3 innings.
2. Jesse Biddle, LHP, Clear-
water (A-Advanced): He re-
bounded from a rough outing
two weeks ago to pitch a no-
decision last week allowing two
runs in five innings.
For the season, hes 3-3 with a
3.03 ERA and 74 strikeouts in
65
1
3 innings this season.
3. Brody Colvin, RHP, Clear-
water (A-Advanced): After
spending time in the bullpen, he
was moved back to the rotation.
His first start was good, but his
second was disastrous allowing
five runs, six hits and four walks
in four innings. To date for the
Threshers, he has a 5.09 ERA
with a 3-4 record to go with 53
strikeouts in 63
2
3 innings.
4. Larry Greene, outfielder,
Williamsport: The 19-year-old
first-round pick from last June
started his pro career and in five
games he has three hits in 16
at-bats with two doubles and
five walks.
5. Phillippe Aumont, RHP,
Lehigh Valley (Triple-A): The
6-foot-7, 260-pound reliever has
saved five in a row and hasnt
allowed a run in four straight.
His ERA has dropped more than
a run in the last three weeks to
4.26 to go with a 1-0 record and
28 punch-outs with nine saves.
6. Sebastian Valle, catcher,
Reading (Double-A): The 21-
year-old has been hot of late
raising his batting average to
.262 after hitting .500 (7-for-14)
during a five-game hitting
streak. He has eight home runs
and 31 RBI for Reading.
7. Justin De Fratus, RHP,
TBA: On the disabled list, he
was scheduled to throw off a
mound last week and if all goes
well, he could begin a rehab
assignment soon.
8. Maikel Franco, third base,
Lakewood (Class A): Only 19,
hes batting just .206 with six
homers and 28 RBI in 66 games.
9. Jonathan Pettibone, RHP,
Reading (Double-A): The 21-
year-old put together seven
solid starts in his last eight as
his ERA now sits at 3.43. He has
a 6-5 record with 56 strikeouts
in 86
2
3 innings.
10. Roman Quinn, shortstop,
Williamsport: A second-rounder
last year, the 19-year-old speed-
ster started his pro career last
week and is 7-for-24 (.292) with
a double and two stolen bases.

By DAVE ROSENGRANT

Tyler Austin, who cracks the
MLB.com list of Yankees pro-
spects at No. 14, was selected to
represent the U.S. Team in the
14th annual Sirius XM All-Star
Futures Game on July 8 in Kan-
sas City, the host for the Major
League Baseball All-Star Game
later that week.
Austin is the only Yankees
prospect to be participating for
either the U.S. or the World
teams. In last years contest,
another New York prospect,
catcher Austin Romine, helped
the U.S. to a 6-4 victory by lac-
ing a two-out, RBI-single in the
eighth.
To date, Austin is hitting .340
with 14 home runs, 54 RBI and
15 stolen bases in 60 games.
Last week he also participated
in the South Atlantic League
All-Star Game and went 1-for-4
with a triple, but the South lost
to the North 3-2. Hes currently
third in the league in batting
average, first in home runs and
second in total bases with 153.

2
3
innings but walked seven and
struck out six.
On the season, hes 3-5 with
67 strikeouts and 65 walks in
71
2
3 innings.
3. Gary Sanchez, catcher,
Charleston (A): The 19-year-old
went 1-for-2 in the South Atlan-
tic League All-Star Game last
week and is riding a streak of
reaching base in seven straight
games and has nine multi-hit
games in his last 15. For the
season, his average is at .315
with 12 homers, 51 RBI and 10
stolen bases in 13 tries.
4. Mason Williams, outfielder,
Charleston (A): He batted twice
in the SAL All-Star Game and
was hitless. But hes been hot of
late for the RiverDogs as his
average has risen to .299 on the
season to go with five home
runs, 21 RBI and 18 steals after
hitting .327 (17-for-52) over his
last 12 games.
5. Jose Campos, RHP, Char-
leston (A): A19-year-old ac-
quired from Seattle in the offsea-
son was off to a good start, but
is currently on the DL with
elbow inflammation.
6. Slade Heathcott, outfielder,
Gulf Coast League Yankees: The
2009 first-round draft pick has
finally got back on the field after
shoulder issues. Hes played in
five games so far and has gone
4-for-17 with two doubles, five
walks and two RBI.
7. Austin Romine, catcher,
TBA: The 23-year-old an-
nounced on Twitter two weeks

8. Dante Bichette Jr., third
base, Charleston (A): Son of a
former Major League all-star
and MVP of the Gulf Coast
League last season, Bichette

(51st overall). Hes batting .260
on the season with one home
run and 24 RBI.
9. Cito Culver, shortstop,
Charleston (A): A first-round

UPCOMI NG SCHEDUL E
Russ Canzler,
Hazleton Area, Colum-
bus (Cleveland, Triple-
A): As weather heated
up so has Canzler. The

Batter of the Week
honors for his perform-
ance June 11-17 when he
hit .381 (8-for-21) with
three home runs, 13 RBI
and four runs scored in

He has raised his

on-base percentage.
Canzler was original-
ly drafted by the Cubs
in the 30th round in
2004. He was signed as
a minor league free
agent by Tampa Bay
last year and then
traded to Cleveland in
the offseason.
Kyle Landis,
Hazleton Area, Akron
(Cleveland, Double-A): An
18th round pick by the
Indians in 2007, the
right-handed reliever is
having a solid season for
the Aeros, putting up a
2.41 ERA in 22 games
while striking out 36 in
37
1
3 innings and posting
a 4-1 record with two
saves. His earned run
average was below 2
before allowing two runs
in 1
1
3 inning last week to
Reading.
The 26-year-old had a
seven-game, 11
1
3 inning
scoreless streak before
the outing against the
R-Phils.
Hes had a short stint
for Triple-A earlier this
season, pitching three
innings for the Clippers.
His best year in the
minors was in 2011, when
he combined to go 10-2
with a 2.54 ERA in 42
appearances spanning
three affiliates.
Cory Spangen-
berg, Abington
Heights, Lake Elsinore
(San Diego, Class A
advanced): The 10th
overall pick in 2011 by
the Padres was selected
as a starter for the
California League all-
star game last week. He
participated in the
contest and went
hitless in two at-bats
with a walk as the
California League stars
lost to the Carolina
League 9-1.
For the season, the
left-handed batting
second baseman is
batting .291 with one
home run, 33 RBI and 21
stolen bases in 27
attempts, to go along
with six triples, 11 dou-
bles and 40 runs in 66
games.
Ray Black, Cough-
lin, San Francisco
(extended spring train-
ing): A power pitcher,

arose at the end of
spring training and hes
been sidelined for about
three months still
rehabbing in Scottsdale,
Ariz.
After experiencing
soreness, he received a
cortisone shot and is
expected to begin
another throwing
program this week.
The seventh-round
draft pick (237th over-
all) out of the University
of Pittsburgh last June
is hoping to join the
short season Salem-
Keizer Volcanoes in
Oregon or the Low Class
A team in Augusta or
possibly join the Arizo-
na Rookie League
Giants.
Rich Thompson,
Montrose, Durham
(Tampa Bay, Triple-A): A
33-year-old speedy
outfielder, is batting .231
with four stolen bases
in 10 games since being
sent to the Bulls from
the Rays last month.
He spent three days
with Tampa last week
being recalled, and was
optioned back to Dur-
ham on Friday.
For the Rays, he had
just one hit in 17 at-bats
for the Rays, picked up
two stolen bases,
scored two runs and
knocked one in.
Last month, he was
traded to Tampa from
the Phillies and was
immediately called up
to the big leagues.
Before the trade, he
was hitting .307 for
Lehigh Valley with
seven stolen bases
along with an on-base
percentage of .390 for
the IronPigs.
Kyle McMyne, Old
Forge, Bakersfield
(Cincinnati, Class A
Advanced): Being pro-
moted to Bakersfield
just two weeks ago, the
right-handed reliever
has pitched in nine
games.
Taken by the Reds in
the fourth round (145th
overall) of last years
draft out of Villanova,
hes had good and
not-so-good outings for
the Blaze to account for
a 6.23 ERA.
Despite giving up
three runs in two in-
nings last week, he
picked up his first win
for Bakersfield to
improve to 1-1.
For the season for
Bakersfield, he has
given up nine earned
runs in 13 innings.
Overall this season in
the minors, he is 4-3
with a 3.86 ERA in 27
games.

When Kingston/Forty Fort
Little League hosts teams dur-
ing the current District 31 tour-
naments, players will be step-
ping on what seems like a brand
new field at Hamilton Park.
Thanks to the Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre Yankees, the
Kingston/Forty Fort Little
League field was renovated on
June15, just in time for the start
of the postseason events.
As part of the Yankees local
field rehabilitation program,
Kingston/Forty Fort was cho-
sen as Luzerne Countys recip-
ient of a makeover lead by head
groundskeeper Steve Horne.
Its great, said Matthew
May, league president of the
Kingston/Forty Fort Little
League. These fields take wear
and tear throughout the course
of the season, and to have these
guys come down and give their
expertise on helping us out to
redo the field is a great experi-
ence for everybody.
Horne was joined at the park
in Kingston with about a dozen
members of the Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre Yankees front of-
fice staff. The Little League or-
ganization also helped out with
volunteers lending a helping
hand wherever needed.
Last month, the Yankees ren-
ovated a field in Moosic. The or-
ganizers decided to nominate a
field from Lackawanna and Lu-
zerne as part of giving back to
the community while the Tri-
ple-A baseball team is playing
all of its games on the road this
season as its home PNC Field is
receiving renovations as well.
Giving back to the commu-
nity is very important to me
and I speak for the Yankees as
well, Horne said. Its our way
of still letting everyone know
that were still here. Were here
to stay and we do care about
our community and we want to
give back in every way possible.
And this is a way this year in
particular that we could reach
out and let everyone know that
were still here and we care and
we want you to remember us
and come out and see us when
we open our doors back. But in
the meantime well come to
your place and help you make
your place better.
This year Moosic was chosen
because it has housed the
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Red
Barons and Yankees for more
than 20 years, while Kingston/
Forty Fort was picked random-
ly.
The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
Yankees will return next season
to play at PNC Field. While it
may be hectic, Horne and the
staff plan on continuing the Lit-
tle League field program every
year.
The Yankees will take entries
from organizations in Luzerne
and Lackawanna counties and
choose to renovate the field
based on the applications.
The future field facelifts may
be held in early fall or early
spring so it doesnt interfere
with the Yankees schedule.
The renovations at the King-
ston/Forty Fort field by Horne
and the SWB staff included a
new pitching mound, new cut-
outs around home plate and
adding absorbents into the dirt
to help drainage around the in-
field.
We do everything we can to
put the field back to Little
League spec, Horne said.
Make it very playable and do
something that will impress the
eye of the fan. And when the
parents and kids come out to
play on this field were going to
have a brand new field for
them.
It has also helped the fran-
chises not-so-good reputation
about getting involved in the
community.
I think on their part its a fan-
tastic thing theyre doing for
the community, May said.
Theyre really doing good
things for a lot of kids. Im glad
to see that theyre out offering
to do it.

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees corporate ticket sales executive Bob McLane, left, and Paul
Chilek, vice president of finance and accounting, help out on the Kingston/Forty Fort field.
Its our way of still letting everyone know that
were still here. Were here to stay, and we do
care about our community. We want to give back
in every way possible.

M A J O R L E A G U E B A S E B A L L
PHILADELPHIA Pinch-
hitter Jim Thome hit a home
run leading off the bottom of
the ninth inning to lift the
Philadelphia Phillies over the
Tampa Bay Rays 7-6 on Sat-
urday after Jonathan Papelbon
blew his first save in 18 chanc-
es this season.
Juan Pierre and Jimmy Rol-
lins also homered for the Phil-
lies, helping manager Charlie
Manuel earn his 900th career
win.
Thome connected off Jake
McGee (2-2) for home run No.
609, tying Sammy Sosa for
seventh place on baseballs
career list. In the first meeting
at Citizens Bank Park between
this teams since Philadelphia
won the 2008 World Series, the
Phillies rallied from a 3-0 def-
icit against James Shields with
homers from their Nos. 1-2
hitters. But Papelbon couldnt
hold the lead.
Cardinals 8, Royals 2
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Matt
Holliday and Allen Craig paced
another big game for the St.
Louis offense, and Adam
Wainwright took advantage of
the robust run support in the
Cardinals victory over the
Kansas City Royals.
Holliday finished 4 for 5 and
drove in a pair of runs, pushing
his stat line against Kansas
City to 13 for 22 with two
homers and eight RBIs in five
games this season. Craig added
a two-run homer and finished
with three RBIs for the Cardi-
nals.
Rockies 11, Rangers 7
ARLINGTON, Texas
Tyler Colvin and Chris Nelson
had consecutive two-out, two-
run singles in an early outburst
for Colorado, and the Rockies
held on for a victory that ended
the Texas Rangers seven-game
winning streak.
Before Colorados four-run
third against Colby Lewis
(6-6), the Rangers hadnt even
allowed more than three runs
in a game during their winning
streak. Wil Nieves and Dexter
Fowler the Nos. 8 and 9
batters homered on consec-
utive pitches in the fifth off
reliever Michael Kirkman for
three more runs and an 11-1
lead.
Pirates 4, Tigers 1
PITTSBURGH Brad Lin-
coln allowed two hits and a run
in six innings, Andrew
McCutchen hit a three-run
homer and the Pittsburgh
Pirates won for the sixth time
in seven games with a victory
over the Detroit Tigers.
Lincoln (4-2) carried a no-
hitter through five innings
before Ramon Santiago singled
to lead off the sixth.
Astros 8, Indians 1
HOUSTON Rookie Dallas
Keuchel pitched a complete
game and J.D Martinez and
Jordan Schafer hit consecutive
homers in Houstons four-run
fifth inning, leading the Astros
to a win over the Cleveland
Indians.
Keuchel (1-0) allowed six
hits and struck out three for
his first win in his second ma-
jor league start.
Reds 6, Twins 0
CINCINNATI Johnny
Cueto remained unbeaten in
June by pitching seven innings
and driving in a pair of runs
with a squeeze bunt and a
bases-loaded groundout, lead-
ing the Cincinnati Reds to a
victory over the Minnesota
Twins.
Blue Jays 7, Marlins 1
MIAMI Edwin Encarna-
cion hit a tiebreaking homer in
the top of the ninth and Colby
Rasmus had a grand slam later
in the innings, lifting the To-
ronto Blue Jays to a win over
the Miami Marlins.
Yankees 4, Mets 3
NEW YORK Raul Ibanez
tied the game with a three-run
homer, pinch-hitter Eric Cha-
vez came through with a go-
ahead shot moments later and
the New York Yankees rallied
past the New York Mets 4-3
Saturday night to stop a three-
game skid.
Riding the long ball again,
the Yankees won for the fourth
time in five Subway Series
matchups this season. The
finale is quite an attraction,
too, with R.A. Dickey coming
off consecutive one-hitters
when he faces Yankees ace CC
Sabathia in a much-anticipated
pitching duel Sunday night.
Red Sox 8, Braves 4
BOSTON Will Middle-
brooks had a solo homer
among his three hits and drove
in two runs, Franklin Morales
gave Boston another decent
start in place of Josh Beckett
and the Red Sox beat the At-
lanta Braves.
Dustin Pedroia added three
hits, a walk and had two RBIs
for Boston, which won for the
eighth time in 10 games to
ensure a winning interleague
record for the eighth straight
season. The Red Sox improved
to 10-7 against NL opponents.
Nationals 3, Orioles 1
BALTIMORE Edwin
Jackson took a one-hitter into
the seventh inning, Adam
LaRoche homered, and the
Washington Nationals beat
rookie Wei-Yin Chen and the
Baltimore Orioles.
Michael Morse had two hits
and scored a run for the NL
East-leading Nationals, who
improved to 10-7 in interleague
play and 2-3 against Baltimore.
White Sox 8, Brewers 6
CHICAGO Dayan Viciedo
homered and drove in four
runs, Alex Rios delivered a
tie-breaking single in the sev-
enth inning, and the Chicago
White Sox rallied to beat the
Milwaukee Brewers.
Dodgers 3, Angels 1
ANAHEIM, Calif. Chris
Capuano outdueled Ervin
Santana with seven gritty in-
nings, leading the Los Angeles
Dodgers to a victory over the
Angels and helping end the NL
West leaders four-game losing
streak.
Capuano (9-2) allowed a run
and seven hits, struck out four
and walked none while low-
ering his ERA from 2.71 to
2.51.

Gimbi gets no-hitter
in twinbill sweep
in the quarterfinals to stave off
the father-son team of Larry and
Mariano Medico by a stroke.
But the par-playing Lanecki
was convinced it may have been
more than a stroke of luck that
pushed his breathtaking putt in-
to the cup.
My dad passed away in 2009,
and Brandon and I played a lot of
tournaments together, Lanecki
said of the late Joe Len La-
necki. Brandon and I became
friends because of my father. He
(Matthews) said, Your dads
helping put it in the hole.
This was exciting.
The excitement continues this
morning, when Gill and Vonder-
heid will face Joe Montionel and
Joe Weiscarger in an 8:30 a.m.
semifinal match and Lanecki
and Matthews will tee off with
Joe Carroll and Christian Davis
at 8:40 a.m. in the other semifi-
nal.
Thatll mean Vonderheid and
Gill will have to recover quickly
from an endlessly long day.
It got longer when the duo ral-
lied from three shots down with
four to play on the back nine.
But Vonderheid and Gill bird-
ied hole No. 6, had what Vonder-
heid called a really good up-
and-down on 7, then birdied 8
and used Vonderheids pretty
birdie putt on the ninth hole to
force extra holes.
Then, Gill said, it was like
Groundhog Day.
Aroundandaroundthey went,
coming up with the same scores
through seven playoff holes
one teamwould drop a beautiful
second-shot gimme and the
other tandem would answer
with a second shot that landed
even closer to the hole.
Cant say enough about Matt
and Jonathan, Vonderheid said,
they played great golf all day.
Finally, just after sunset and
with darkness approaching
quickly, Gill and Vonderheid
found the one putt on No. 9 the
eighthplayoff hole that Hoover
and Davis couldnt answer.
That left Vonderheidhavingto
answer for missing a meal.
I am an hour and 15 minutes
late, Vonderheid said, for din-
ner with my wife.
Matthews simply ate it up
when his teammates putt went
in.
The former state champion
from Pittston Area dropped his
arms in disbelief when his own
attempt at a birdie on a six-foot
putt stopped suddenly on the
outer lip of the hole.
Then Lanecki made a much
tougher attempt look like a
cinch, as a delighted Matthews
raced to his teammate lifted him
in an extended celebration.
Oh God, Rickys one of the
nicest guys you can meet in the
entire world, Matthews said. If
we win this, I know it would
mean the world to him. I would
rather that happen for him than
me. Im really happy I missed
that putt and he made it.
For that to happen, that was
incredible.

Tournament on Saturday at Fox Hill Country Club.
INDIANAPOLIS The host
Indians jumped all over Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre starter John
Maine, chasing himinthe first in-
ningof an8-3Yankees loss onSat-
urday.
The first six batters of the
game for Indianapolis reached
base before Maine recorded an
out in the bottomof the first. The
Indians scored six runs on five
hits and sent 12 batters to the
plate in the frame to take a com-
manding lead.
Nelson Figueroa replaced
Maine, who managed just the
lone out. All six runs against
Maine were earned, raising his
ERA to 12.00 after his second
start with the Yankees.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
chipped away in the next two in-
nings, getting an RBI double
fromBrandonLairdinthesecond
and then a two-run homer from
Jack Cust in the third to cut the
deficit in half. It was Custs team-
leading15th home run of the sea-
son, putting himin the top five in
the International League.
But the Indians tightened
things up fromthere and got solo
shots from Starling Marte and
Brandon Boggs in the sixth and
seventh, respectively, to put the
game out of reach.
Figueroa gave the Yankees (40-
36) a chance to rally by throwing
4
2
3 innings of scoreless relief, al-
lowing two hits. Both home runs
came against Manny Delcarmen.
Indianapolis (46-29) has taken
the first twoof a four-game series,
which continues at 1:15 p.m. to-
day at Victory Field. The Yankees
are scheduledto sendAdamWar-
ren to the hill against the Indians

CALL AHEAD FOR TEE TIMES
Selenski was perhaps the best
American player Saturday. With
17 minutes remaining, she took a
pass on the left wing from Julia
Reinprecht, charged in along the
end line and had a flip shot de-
flected away by Mutio sliding out
and stacking her leg pads.
Four minutes later, the Shaver-
town native took another lead
pass fromReinprecht andhadher
reverse-stick shot booted away
by Mutio.
Thats one of her strengths,
the backhand shot, Meharg said
of Selenski. This skill is being
used more and more. Fantastic
finish trap, swing, shoot.
Doesnt matter what foot she had
her weight on. Tremendous fin-
ish and energy.
Melissa Gonzalez gave the U.S.
its first goal in the 29th minute,
slamming home a shot that was
fanned on by Michelle Kasold.
Barrionuevo had two goals for
Argentina, both on penalty cor-
ners. The second came less than
two minutes after Selenski gave
the U.S. its first lead of the day.
The result, for me, being a 2-
all draw is a little bit disappoint-
ing, U.S. team coach Lee Bod-
imeade said. I felt that we had
enough opportunity to really put
some scoreboard pressure on Ar-
gentina today. And the frustra-
tionwiththat came withtwopen-
alty corner goals to them, which
is an area were working really ag-

played as a mosaic. This project
was done to also celebrate the
40th anniversary of Title IX.
Ever since its passing in 1972,
women were given equal oppor-
tunities as men to education,
sports, and equal playing fields.
Headed by ESPNW, a website
promoting womens sports, the
mosaic was created to show the
impact of Title IXthroughout the
years.
Since receiving her dream job
at ESPN, Laurahasbeengivenop-
portunities of a lifetime to push
for what she wants.
Being surrounded by such
moving and talented people
makes mefeel likeImbackonthe
field working with my team-
mates, she said. It allows me to
meet incredible people who also
want to push womens sports for-
ward and open opportunities for
the next generation.
And it began with a push from
her family to get involved in
sports, ultimatelystarringinfield
hockey.
My mother foresaw an oppor-
tunity with field hockey that she
was unsure about with soccer,
Suchoski said. Since field hock-
ey is not as widespread as soccer
is, I hadabetteropportunityof ex-
cellinginfieldhockeyandgetting
a great education along with it.
Afterthefirst month, Laurahad
a love for the game. Growing up
around her three talented sib-
lings, however, was another chal-
lenge Laura faced.
Having three siblings who are
all so talented in their sports was
reallyadriveformegrowingup. It
pushed me to the limit and
brought out the competitive edge
in me.
Laura got this edge with the
help of her older sister, Sara, a
standout womens soccer player
at the University of Scranton;
younger brother, Kenneth, who
playedice hockey for Middlebury
College; and youngest brother,
Brian, whocurrently plays soccer
at Lehigh University.
Thanks to their backyard pick-
up games, support from her par-
ents and an inner drive, she land-
ed a spot on the U.S. National
Team in middle school. Looking
for the best option to keep her
field hockey career progressing,
Laura attended Wyoming Semi-
nary where she would play field
hockey under coach Karen
Klassner.
She really helped propel my
field hockey career on and off the
field. She was such an honor to
play under, Suchoski said of
Klassner.
Playing under one of the best
coaches in field hockey gave Lau-
ratheextramomentumsheneed-
ed to earn a college scholarship
and continue her academics and
athletics at Duke University.
From her first visit, Laura knew
this was theright fit for thecareer
path she was looking to take.
I knew at Duke you would
have an incredible balance of ath-
letics and academics. When you
focused on one, you wouldnt
have to sacrifice the other.
Majoring in Sociology and also
veryhandywithadvertising, Lau-
ralearnedhowtobalanceher aca-
demics and athletics along with
three internships she earned
through the field hockey team.
Her perseverance earned her the
award for Dukes Athlete of the
Decade (2000-2010) for field
hockey.
And with her job at ESPN, she
cancontinuetospreadawareness
of womens sports.
Inspired by her favorite motto,
You cant be what you cant see,
sheexplains that younger women
needtohaverolemodels theycan
look up to so they too can be suc-
cessful in the world.
As for Suchoski, she had the
privilege of meeting one of her
role models, Sue Enquist, former
head softball coach at UCLA.
Enquist, holding the highest
winning percentage (.835) of any
college softball with 800 career
wins, is described as the most dy-
namic woman Suchoski has ever
met when speaking of the equali-
zation of womens sports. She
said Enquists inspiring speeches
remind people that this is being
done for coaches, parents, and
players anyone who is giving
back to the game.
With a successful background,
Suchoski has already achieved
many of her dreams at 25. She
wont stopnow, however, because
of her love for the game and the
generations to come.
From my experience, always
let passion be your number one
drive and what steers you from
one step to another, Suchoski
said. Youcanbeincrediblysmart
and incredibly skilled, but if
youre not passionate, theres
nothing to drive you. Always go
after things youre most passion-
ate about.
SUCHOSKI
Playing a skill position as a
youngguy, its a little bit easier to
play the farther away from the
(snap) you play. Because its
more about athletic ability than
it is about physical strength.
People outside of the Wyom-
ing Valley got their first good
look at Lewis and Wartman last
Saturday at the Big 33 game. Le-
wis had two catches for 54 yards
and a third grab one that in-
volved him spinning out of and
running through multiple tack-
les was called back on a penal-
ty. Wartman had two of the big-
gest hits of the evening at line-
backer.
Afterward, both said they
were looking forward to getting
settled in State College.
Lewis, who played quarter-
back in his final two seasons at
Valley West, will have another
signal-caller as a roommate.
Steve Bench, a talkative, hard-
throwing right-hander from Ge-
orgia, touched down at Penn
State on Saturday.
I pretty much talk to him or
text him every week, Lewis
said. Imreally glad hes the guy
for me toroomwith. It helps that
hes a quarterback also.
Hes cool. Hes funny, man. I
really think were gonna get
along when we get up there and
well mesh together well.
Wartman, meanwhile, will
room with Washington state re-
ceiver Jonathan Warner, son of
Lions legend Curt Warner.
Together, theyll first have to
survive the grueling training re-
gimen installed by new strength
coach Craig Fitzgerald.
Having already heard plenty
about its difficulty from his new
teammates, Wartman said hes
prepared to take it on in hopes of
cracking the Lions loaded depth
chart at linebacker as a true
freshman.
They told me to expect to re-
gret (the first few days), Wart-
man said. Its not like high
school anymore. Its a whole new
world. Im ready for it.
I knowthe first fewweeks are
going to be the worst weeks of
my life but, hey, its what we
signed up for.
FRESHMEN
The note atop the stack of
blank baseball league applica-
tions was clear Boys On-
ly.
I wasnt happy about that. It
just didnt seem fair.
Mrs. Johnson, my elemen-
tary schools secretary, must
have agreed.
When I asked for one of the
applications, she looked to see
if anyone was around and
quietly slipped one to me a
tiny act of rebellion that would
change my summer and, in
some ways, the person I would
become.
I took the paper home and,
with my parents blessing,
completed and returned it.
This was back in 1976, just
four years after the passage of
Title IX, the federal amend-
ment that opened up sports
opportunities to girls and
women.
At the time, though, I had
absolutely no clue what that
was, or how it might help me.
I was 11. I just wanted to
play baseball. And because, at
the time, the sports associ-
ation in my small, northern
Michigan hometown had no
offerings for girls my age, they
let me.
Three years earlier, a girl in
Ypsilanti, Mich., had broken
the barrier in Little League.
And now it was my turn.
There was only one prob-
lem: While I had little doubt I
should be ALLOWED to play, I
really didnt know how to. My
only experience was a few
pickup games with my brother
and his friends in the field
next to our house. They used a
bat and tennis ball and usually
hit it so far nobody really field-
ed the ball anyway. I was usu-
ally just their stand-in runner.
So panic quickly set in when
I realized that Id potentially
signed myself up for weeks of
teasing and humiliation.
My dad and brother didnt
let that happen. Before the
season started, they spent eve-
nings and weekends in the
backyard, teaching me how to
throw, field and bat.
If I had anything to say
about it, no one was going to
accuse me of throwing like a
girl something you heard
all the time on playgrounds
back then.
When I showed up for my
first practice, my stomach was
jittery. A few of my team-
mates eyes widened. There
was a bit of grumbling, but it
didnt last long.
The tone was set by my
coach, an easygoing sort
named Bruce Baker who often
wore a floppy fishing hat in-
stead of a baseball cap.
I was always trying to prove
that I belonged. He was always
reminding me to relax and
have fun.
And good thing, because we
were northern Michigans ver-
sion of the Bad News Bears,
the team in the movie that had
just come out that spring.
We lost game after game
and I endured the taunts from
the crowd and the opposing
teams.
I played second base and
outfield, mostly. One time,
coach put me into pitch. But,
while I liked pitching in prac-
tice, I hated the added pres-
sure in the game and asked to
go back to my second base
post.
People in the stands
laughed. It was proof, they
said, that I shouldnt be on the
field.
Later, when a hard grounder
took an awkward bounce and
hit me in the shoulder, they
laughed some more.
Mostly, it was parents, not
kids.
It got so that when it was my
turn to bat, my dad or my
brother would stand guard be-
hind the fence next to the on-
deck circle to fend them off
and keep my mind in the
game.
Go get em, slugger, my
brother would calmly say.
I smiled. I liked being called
slugger, though I was no Ta-
tum ONeal out there. I was a
shy, string bean of a kid with
long braids not very tough
at all, and more likely to be out
on the field praying I wouldnt
make a mistake.
Even so, I was determined
to stick it out, though I also
was secretly thankful when a
second girl joined the league,
taking some of the heat off me.
Another thing made it eas-
ier. The boys on my team de-
cided I was OK. Maybe, just
maybe, they even liked having
me around.
Little by little, as the weeks
passed, they shouted their
own words of encouragement.
They had my back and I had
theirs and for the first time,
I realized what it was like to be
part of a team.
We mightve been in last
place but we gave it our all.
And when that first win fi-
nally did come, we ran togeth-
er to the concession stand to
claim our paper cups full of
celebratory soda pop and en-
joy a brief, sweet moment of
triumph.
For me, it wasnt so much
the win that mattered.
I was just one of them. I fi-
nally, truly belonged and I
was having fun, just as coach
had wanted.
The next year, girls softball
for my age group was added to
the summertime sports roster.
Many considered it a victory
though, honestly, I didnt
really see it that way at the
time.
I liked baseball. I missed my
team.
Looking back now, though, I
think about how getting the
chance to play changed me, as
Im sure it did many girls after
Title IX came along. The law
forced people to rethink their
attitudes.
It was lucky timing for me
and with the support of my
family, Mrs. Johnson, Coach
Baker and my teammates
gave me the chance to test
what my parents always
preached.
Theyd told me to stand up
for what you believed. And
that summer, they let me do it.
There is a confidence that
comes from that, an inner
strength.
It made me a better ballplay-
er, too.

Chambers keeps hopes
alive at UK trials
BIRMINGHAM, England Dwain
Chambers kept alive his hopes of mak-
ing the London Olympics by winning
the 100 meters at the British trials
Saturday.
Chambers has struggled since the
British Olympic Association was forced
to lift its ban on doping offenders, but
he ran his fastest time yet 10.25
seconds in winning his sixth nation-
al title.
The top two finishers automatically
qualify for London, but unlike second-
place Adam Gemili and third-place
James Dasaolu, Chambers has yet to
post the British qualifying time of
10.18. The former world indoor and
European champion has until July 1.
Meanwhile, 400 hurdles world champ
Dai Greene won his final to make his
first Olympic team. He struggled early
in the season because of illness and
recovery from knee surgery in Decem-
ber.
Rudisha ensures place
on Kenya team
NAIROBI, Kenya World 800-
meter champion and record holder
David Rudisha made sure hed have a
place on Kenyas Olympic team, win-
ning the final at the national trials
Saturday.
Rudisha, who has been dominant all
season, led from the start to finish in 1
minute, 42.12 seconds at Nyayo Nation-
al Stadium and clinch a trip to his first
Olympics. Timothy Kitum came in
second to also earn a spot at the Lon-
don Games.
Earlier, 5,000- and 10,000-meter
world champion Vivian Cheruiyot won
the 5,000 in Kenyas capital to claim a
spot. She already qualified to run in the
longer distance in 10,000 trials over-
seas.
Pamela Jelimo will get to defend her
800-meter Olympic title in London
after overpowering the field for victory
in the womens final.
Pistorius misses qualifying
time once again
BRUSSELS Double-amputee
runner Oscar Pistorius again missed
South Africas qualifying time for the
London Olympics, almost a second off
the mark in winning a 400-meter race
in Belgium.
Pistorius won at the EAP meet in
Nivelles in 46.20 seconds, far off the
standard of 45.30 he needs to get auto-
matic qualification for the games.
He has at least one more chance to
qualify at the African Championships
in Benin next week. Without running
the qualifying time, Pistorius could
also make the Olympics if he is in-
cluded on South Africas 4x400 relay
team.
Gay makes it through
in 10 seconds flat
EUGENE, Ore. Tyson Gay eased
through his first 100-meter qualifying
heat in the U.S. Olympic trials Sat-
urday, winning in 10 seconds flat.
Gay, mending from a hip injury that
kept him out of action for most of the
past year, matched the time he ran in
his return in New York earlier this
month. That race was into a headwind.
This time, on a rainy day in Eugene, he
had a slight tailwind.
Justin Gatlin, the 2004 Olympic
champion, won his heat in 9.90 sec-
onds, keeping alive his bid to return to
the Olympics after missing 2008 be-
cause of a doping ban.

Omaha, Neb. The trials start Monday.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) The first Ne-
braska showdown between Michael
Phelps and Ryan Lochte came at the
edge of a curtained-off interview room,
not far from the temporary pool where
the U.S. Olympic swimming team will
be decided.
Phelps rubbed at his thick mustache,
which looked like something out of the
Village People, and queried Lochte on
his smooth face.
I had one, but I had to shave it,
Lochte said, extending a hand to his ri-
val.
Cmon, man, youve got to keep it as
long as you can, Phelps replied, break-
ing into a big smile beneath all that hair.
The meeting Saturday between
swimmings two biggest stars was
downright cordial. Expect it to be much
different when they get in the water at
the Olympic trials, which is being held
at a temporary pool set up in a 13,200-
seat arena along the Missouri River, just
as it was in 2008.
Phelps is a 14-time gold medalist try-
ing to put an appropriate finish on his
brilliant career at theLondonOlympics.
Lochte is the guy standing in the way, a
laid-back Floridian who beat Phelps
twice at last years world champion-
ships and keeps saying over and over
again, This is my time.
Michael Phelps definitely set the
limit, Lochte said. But, I mean, hes
human. Hes not a fish or anything like
that.
Phelps has already hoarded more
gold than any other Olympian, and hes
clearly regainedthe motivationthat fad-
ed away after the Great Haul of China,
where he toppled Mark Spitzs iconic re-
cord by winning eight events.
As he was winding down from six
weeks of gruelingtraininginthe Colora-
do mountains, he wondered why he
kept getting up so early instead of seiz-
ing the chance to sleep in. Then, it hit
him: Hes excited about the trials. Hes
pumped about what he can do in En-
gland. Hes drivento endhis career with
one more dynamic performance.
Weve done everything. We done a
lot of amazingthings, a lot of cool, excit-
ing things, Phelps said, sitting next to
his omnipresent coach, Bob Bowman.
Now, its just time to have fun. Ima lot
more relaxed that Ive ever been. Well
see after this week what size cherry I
want to put on my sundae.
Lochte has entered a staggering 11
events at the trials, though hell surely
drop several of those and perhaps use
others just for training purposes in the
preliminaries. Phelps has entered seven
races, including the 400-meter individu-
al medley on the very first day of the
trials.
Phelps and Bowman were coy about
their plans, refusing to say if the swim-
mer will actually compete in the gruel-
ingrace he wonat the last twoOlympics
but vowed never to swim again after
Beijing. He brought back the 400 IM
over the past year and entered it at the
trials, potentially setting up his first
clash with Lochte, the defending world
champion in that event.
Weve got a couple of hours to de-
cide, dont we? Phelps said, chuckling.
Bowman chimed in, saying they ac-
tually had another day to make the call.
OK, wevegot 24hours, Phelps said.
In 24 hours, well let you guys know.
He even skirted a question about
when he would shave his mustache,
fearing that would reveal his plans.
I cant give that away, Phelps said.
If I say Im doing it tomorrow, then
youll know Im swimming the 400 IM.
If I say Imdoing it Monday, that means
Imnot. It will come off when the rest of
my body hair comes off.

FEDERAL WAY, Wash. David
Boudias innate sense of timing
extended beyond the 10-meter
platform.
He earned an individual spot on
the U.S. Olympic diving team to go
with his synchro platform berth on
Saturday, giving his mother Shei-
lagh a memorable present on her
birthday.
Boudia totaled 1,642.40 points
over the six-round final, easily
defeating synchro partner Nick
McCrory, who finished second with
1,582.55. That gave McCrory an
individual event in his first Olym-
pics.
Nick and I battling back and
forth, we just fed off one another,
Boudia said. Thats what we want
to see going into London. It just
raised my level of competition.
Cassidy Krug is going to her first
Olympics after winning the 3-
meter springboard title. Christina
Loukas finished second to grab the
other spot on her second straight
Olympic team.
Thomas Finchum, a 2008 Olym-
pian, finished third on mens plat-
form with 1,463.20. Only the top
two individuals qualified for the
Olympics. Afterward, Finchum,
who is a long shot in the 3-meter
springboard final on Sunday, said
he plans to retire at 22.
Its disappointing to be left off
the team, but Im happy with what
Ive done, Finchum said, regaining
his composure after breaking down
in tears. I dont have any regrets. I
didnt win, but I definitely showed
a little bit of what Ive done.
Boudia, McCrory and Finchum
were the top talents in the 12-man
final. Besides being the most expe-
rienced, they also had the highest
degree of difficulty. All three divers
earned perfect marks of 10.0
among their scores over the final
three rounds.
Boudia finished 10th in platform
and fifth on synchro platform four
years ago in Beijing.
Diving in front of Boudia,
McCrory received one 10 for his
fourth dive, a reverse 3
1
2 somer-
saults that totaled 92.40 points.
Just before he dived, Finchum did
the same one and earned two 10s
for a score of 90.75.
Boudia followed with the same
dive and totaled 89.10.
I took a deep breath, McCrory
said. I love that dive. Ive done it
for 10s before. I wanted to do some-
thing exciting in finals.
McCrory was just getting
warmed up. He followed up in the
next round with a backward 3
1
2
somersaults tuck that earned five
10s and a score of 99.10. Boudia
topped him on the same dive, earn-
ing one 10 and a score of 102.60.
In order to hang with him, I
have to be consistent, McCrory
said about Boudia. Hes always
throwing up huge scores.
On the awards podium, four-time
Olympic gold medalist Greg Louga-
nis presented Boudia and McCrory
with blue glass sculptures. McCro-
rys slipped out of his hands and
crashed in pieces, leaving him
empty-handed as he left the podi-
um.
Finchum said he plans to move
to Nashville, Tenn., and attend
Belmont University while pursuing
a country music career with his
band. Boudia trained with Finchum
for eight years in the Indianapolis
area.
He had a great career and more
to look forward to than diving,
Boudia said.
In womens 3-meter, Krug was
consistent throughout the five-
round final, totaling 1,094.85
points.
Ive wanted to go to the Olym-
pics since I was 3, said Krug, now
a 26-year-old Stanford graduate
competing in her third trials. Its
not even real right now.
Loukas finished second at
1,017.85. Kelci Bryant, already on
the team in 3-meter synchro, fin-
ished third at 967.05.
Oh my gosh that was the long-
est week of my life, said a relieved
Loukas, who was ninth on 3-meter
in Beijing. This time around I kind
of know what to expect and I have
more confidence in my diving. I
know I can compete with the top
women on 3-meter.
Loukas rebounded after missing
badly on her second dive, a reverse

2 somersaults that earned her all
5.5s.

EUGENE, Ore. Meter by meter,
Ashton Eaton kept swallowing up real
estate on a track that has always felt
like home.
Second by second, the clock on that
track ticked away daring him to
cross the finish line in a time that
would put his name in the record
books.
Eaton was every bit as relentless
and stubborn as that clock Saturday.
He set a personal best in the exhaust-
ing 1,500-meter finale and is now the
world-record holder in the decathlon
the cream of the crop in the event
that determines the worlds best ath-
lete.
Eaton finished with 9,039 points in
the U.S. Olympic trials Saturday to
beat Roman Sebrles 11-year-old mark
by 13 points.
The 24-year-old University of Ore-
gon product needed a time of 4 min-
utes, 16.37 seconds in the 1,500 to
break the mark at the schools Hay-
ward Field.
He finished in 4:14.48.
When it was over, Eaton bent down
and put his hands on his knees, then
brought them up to cover his mouth
elated and shocked all at the same
time.
A few minutes later, he took the
mini American flag hed been handed
as a member of the U.S. Olympic team
and stabbed it into the right near the
scoreboard on the field that displayed
his accomplishment: World Record
Decathlon. Ashton Eaton. 9,039
points.
What to do for an encore?
Well see in six weeks in London,
where hell go in as the favorite, along
with the man he beat, defending
world champion Trey Hardee, who
finished 656 points back. Chances for
an American medal sweep, thought to
be a good possibility this year, were
vanquished when defending Olympic
champion Bryan Clay fell during the
hurdles. He finished 12th.

PHILADELPHIA After
loading up on defensemen in the
draft, the Philadelphia Flyers got
one to help right away.
The Flyers acquired Luke
Schenn from the Toronto Maple
Leafs for forward James van
Riemsdyk on Saturday. The 22-
year-old Schenn should help re-
place the void created by the loss
of captain Chris Pronger, who is
unlikely to return because of
post-concussion symptoms.
Hes a young guy, hes a big de-
fenseman that plays physical and
gritty, and he can move the
puck, Flyers general manager
Paul Holmgrensaid. To get guys
like this, youve got to be picking
high in the draft. Its an opportu-
nity for us and obviously James
was taken high in the draft, too.
Schenn had 14 goals and 61 as-
sists in four seasons for Toronto.
I wouldnt ever compare my-
self to Chris Pronger. Hes obvi-
ously going to be in the Hall of
Fame, Schenn said.
Schenn is the older brother of
Flyers forward Brayden Schenn.
Luke Schenn was the fifth overall
pick in the 2008 NHL draft.
He couldnt believe it. He told
me it was a dream come true,
Luke Schenn said of his brothers
reaction. Its hard to compre-
hend right now.
Brayden Schenn called it a
happy day in the Schenn house-
hold! on Twitter.
Van Riemsdyk, also 22, has 47
goals and 52 assists for 99 points
in three seasons. He was the sec-
ondoverall pick inthe 2007 draft.
Van Riemsdyk had seven goals in
11 games in the 2011 playoffs, but
only played 43 games last year
because of injuries. He had 11
goals and 13 assists.
I believe its a good trade for
both teams, Holmgren said. It
certainly fills a need for us and I
think it fills a need for (Toronto)
as well in terms of what theyre
looking to do.
The Leafs were looking to add
size up front. Getting the 6-
foot-3, 200-pound van Riemsdyk
fulfills that goal.
He will provide speed, size,
and finesse to our top two lines
and we know that he fits those
needs that we have wanted to ad-
dress for some time, Leafs GM
Brian Burke said in a statement.
Improving on defense was Phi-
ladelphias goal heading into
Draft Weekend. They chose four
defenseman on Day 2. The Flyers
took Shayne Gostisbehre out of
Union College in the third round
and Fredric Larsson from the
Swedish Junior League in the
fourth. They finished by choos-
ing Reece Wilcox fromMerritt of
the BCHL in the fifth round and
Valeri Vasiliev of the Russian Ju-
nior League in the seventh
round.
We tried to improve our de-
fense over the last few days, we
looked for ways to try to improve
it, and we think we did today,
Holmgren said.

Flyers get defenseman Schenn for van Riemsdyk
By ROB MAADDI
AP Sports Writer Americans represented in 2nd round of draft
PITTSBURGH The Columbus Blue Jackets opened the second
round by taking Swedish goaltender Oscar Dansk with the 31st
overall pick, though he was quickly followed by a number of
Americans.
There were 56 Americans selected in the draft, including nine in
the second round, led by winger Nicolas Kerdiles. The 18-year-old
from California was taken with the 36th overall pick by the Anaheim
Ducks.
The Winnipeg Jets grabbed center Lukas Sutter with the 39th pick.
Sutter is the son of former NHL player Rich Sutter and the cousin of
new Pittsburgh center Brandon Sutter, who was traded to the
Penguins on Friday in exchange for Jordan Staal. Uncle Darryl
coached the L.A. Kings to their first Stanley Cup earlier this month.
Lukas Sutter sounded an awful lot like the rest of the members of
hockeys most prodigious family when talking about his future.
Im the kind of gritty two-way player teams need, Sutter said.
WIMBLEDON, England
As Novak Djokovic, Ra-
fael Nadal and Roger Federer
step back on the grass at
Wimbledon, each has reason
to believe hell be hoisting
the trophy in two weeks.
None of the other 125 men
in the field can honestly say
the same.
Indeed, its tough to imag-
ine anyone outside that trio
winning this years cham-
pionship at the All England
Club, where play begins
Monday.
Theyve, you know, been
pretty selfish about Grand
Slam titles for a little bit,
said 2003 U.S. Open cham-
pion and three-time Wimble-
don runner-up Andy Rod-
dick.
They sure have.
Either Nadal or Djokovic
has won each of the past nine
major tournaments, and they
met in the last four finals, to
boot.
Its up to somebody ... to
break that mold, said Feder-
er, owner of a record 16
Grand Slam titles. I hope I
can do that.
Add him to the equation,
and those three men have
combined to win 28 of the
past 29 majors, a seven-year
run of dominance that began
with Nadals victory at the
2005 French Open. (The
lone exception was the 2009
U.S. Open, where Federer
lost in the final to Juan Mar-
tin del Potro.)
The top-seeded Djokovic
is the defending champion at
Wimbledon and while its
the only grass-court title on
his resume, its a rather sig-
nificant one.
I mean, this is what Im
born for, he said after beat-
ing Nadal in four sets in the
2011 final. You know, I want
to be a tennis champion. I
want to win more Grand
Slams. I will definitely not
stop here.
He moved to No. 1 in the
ATP rankings the next day
and has remained there,
while compiling a 27-match
Grand Slam winning streak
that included titles at the
U.S. Open in September and
Australian Open in January,
before ending with a loss to
Nadal in the rain-interrupt-
ed, two-day French Open fi-
nal two weeks ago.
Nadal once was thought to
be a clay-court expert but
has shown that he can adapt
to, and excel on, other sur-
faces, joining Federer among
the seven men who complet-
ed a career Grand Slam. At
Wimbledon, the Spaniard re-
ached the final each of the
last five times he entered the
tournament, winning twice
and finishing runner-up to
Djokovic or Federer the oth-
er three.
And Federer? Well, all hes
done is win six champion-
ships plus make one final at
the All England Club in a sev-
en-year span from 2003-09.
I would just like to get an-
other Wimbledon crown. It
would be amazing to get No.
7, said Federer, who lost in
the quarterfinals the past
two years, to Tomas Berdych
in 2010, and to Jo-Wilfried
Tsonga in 2011.
Hes gone about 2
1
2 years
without winning a Grand
Slam title, his longest
drought since he won his
first nine years ago.
The hunger is obviously
big, Federer said.
His mastery of faster sur-
faces such as the grass at
Wimbledon and the hard
courts at the U.S. Open
makes it tough to rule him
out, even if hes approaching
his 31st birthday on Aug. 8.
Asked to size up his pro-
spects for adding to his
Grand Slam total, Federer
said, I think the upcoming
two, referring to Wimble-
don and the U.S. Open,
those will be my best chanc-
es to win.
While players such as Ber-
dych or Tsonga or Roddick
or del Potro have shown they
can compete with the best on
their best days and No. 4
Andy Murray, a three-time
major finalist, gets plenty of
home-crowd support be-
cause he represents Britain
the expectation is that
Djokovic, Nadal or Federer
will extend their hard-to-be-
lieve rule at Grand Slam
tournaments.
Murray is obviously the
other guy. He would be the
other guy that would have
the next best chance, said
seven-time major champion
John McEnroe, wholl be
calling matches for ESPN as
it takes over fromNBCas the
main Wimbledon TV chan-
nel in the United States.
Murray, for his part, dis-
misses questions about be-
ing burdened by all the atten-
tion he gets these two weeks
and all the hopes the lo-
cals have.

time, even though she
pulled out of a grass-court
tuneup tournament Friday,
citing a stomach muscle
injury. That was her first
event after about three
months away because of
other injuries. The Belgian
says shell retire after the
U.S. Open in September.

ELKHART LAKE, Wis. Nel-
son Piquet Jr. held the lead on a
laterestart, thenpulledawayfrom
therest of thefieldSaturdaytowin
the NASCAR Nationwide Series
race at Road America.
TheBrazilian, aformerFormula
One driver and the son of three-
time F1 champion Nelson Sr., be-
came a winner in his third career
Nationwide start after startingthe
race from pole position. Piquets
extensive road racing experience
paid off at the four-mile, 14-turn
road course that winds through
the hills of central Wisconsin.
Michael McDowell was second,
followed by Ron Fellows, Max Pa-
pis and SamHornish Jr.
Jacques Villeneuve collided
withDanica Patrickonthe last lap
asthetwodriverswerebattlingfor
fourth place, causing Patricks car
to spin out. Villeneuve finished
sixth, while Patrick recoveredand
finished12th.
Villeneuve, the 1995 Indianapo-
lis 500 winner and 1997 Formula
One champion, dominated the
middle stages of the race but spun
out onlap 33 andlost several posi-
tions. He had words with a mem-
ber of Patricks crewonpit roadaf-
ter the race.
We were racing hard, and I
wasnt evenfightingwithDanica, I
was fighting with Max Papis, Vil-
leneuvesaidina
radio interview.
And just before
the braking
(zone), I guess
he was wanting
to cross over
and go to the in-
side of Danica.
Andheprobablydidnt knowI was
there so he pushed me into the
grass, and you dont slow down
that much in the grass. So by the
timeI was ontheracetrackagain, I
was going a little bit slower than
Danica. Thats all.
Papis saidheenjoyedbeingpart
of a heated battle with Patrick in
the closing laps.
Sorryshegot alittlebit tangled
up there, but thats racing, Papis
said.
Patrick ran with the leaders for
most of the afternoon and even
momentarily led the race when
she passed Miguel Paludo on lap
21, only to give it back a few sec-
onds later when she slightly over-
shot aturnandgot passed. Patrick
also shot up to second place on a
late restart but couldnt hold the
spot, fadingslightlybefore getting
involvedinthe incident withVille-
neuve.
Patrick got off to a quick start,
passing Justin Allgaier for second
place on lap 12 before a caution
flag came out for T.J. Bells spi-
nout.
Piquet Jr. nabs Nationwide
victory after just 3 starts
By CHRIS JENKINS
AP Sports Writer
Piquet Jr.
SONOMA, Calif. It used to
be that short tracks were the
guaranteed place for the bump-
ing, banging and blown tempers.
Its now shifted to road courses,
specifically Sonoma, where more
than a few drivers will likely be
raging mad by the end of Sun-
days race.
I thinkthis has turnedintothe
most no-holds-barred, crazy, peo-
ple-running-into-each-other
race, more so than any of the
short tracks we go to now, said
Sprint Cup Series points leader
Matt Kenseth.
NASCARs last two visits to the
winding road course in Northern
California wine country have
been demolition derbies. Jeff
Gordon was the bad guy in 2010,
when he tangled on track with at
least four drivers in a race he
deemed a disaster just one of
those terrible days where I made
a lot of mistakes, no doubt made
a lot of people unhappy.
The lasting image from last
years stop at the 12-turn, 1.99-
mile picturesque track was of To-
ny Stewarts car backed into and
suspended high on a wall of tires,
where he landed after Brian Vick-
ers intentionally spunhimas pay-
back for earlier contact. But tem-
pers were flaring all over the ga-
rage after the race. Juan Pablo
Montoya left mad at Brad Kese-
lowski, Kasey Kahne was angry
withMontoya, andJoey Loganos
parting shot for road course ace
Robby Gordon was that he
drives like a moron every week.
Denny Hamlin, who said last
year hed been Dingerd after he
was involved in a wreck with AJ
Allmendinger, said all driver eti-
quette seems to be out the win-
dow when the series shifts to So-
noma.
It just seems like people dont
give each other room like they
used to and everyone is just a lit-
tle bit more aggressive, Hamlin
said. I think people talk about
driver ethics and things like that
this is a very gray race track
when it comes to that. I think
people can get away with a little
bit more, maybe pay some guys
back for things that happen at
other tracks.
Typically, at this race track,
because speeds are so low, the
risk of injuring someone is slim
to none.
Jamie McMurray, an innocent
victim in last years Stewart-Vick-
ers clash, had a much simpler ex-
planation: The wrecks are hap-
pening frompeople being idiots,
he said.
You cant be the guy thats run
17th all day, and on the last res-
tart expect that you are going to
pass six rows of cars in turn sev-
en. Thats what happens here ev-
ery single year, McMurray add-
ed. Somebody just does some-
thing silly. Most of the time the
wrecks here just happen from
people losing their mind.

DONETSK, Ukraine Xabi
Alonso scored two goals in his
100th international appearance
Saturday, leading Spain to a 2-0
win over France and a spot in the
European Championship semifi-
nals.
Alonso first scored with a
thumping downward header in
the 19th minute and then con-
verted a penalty in injury time.
We knew this was the most
important match and we played
very well, Alonso said. Scoring
the early goal really made things
easy, so I must say were happy.
The win was Spains first over
France in a competitive match in
seven attempts. Spain will next
face Portugal on Wednesday in
Donetsk in the semifinals as it
bids to win a third straight major
title.
The opening goal was the re-
sult of excellent one-touch foot-
ball the hallmark of Spains
game. Andres Iniesta prodded
the ball through for Jordi Alba,
who whipped a perfect cross
from the left to Alonso. The Real
Madrid midfielder timed his run
so well that no France defender
picked him up.
Spain wrapped things up after
France right back Anthony Rev-
eillere barged into substitute for-
ward Pedro Rodriguez in injury
time. Alonso coolly sent goal-
keeper Hugo Lloris the wrong
way from the spot, looking right
but clipping the ball firmly left.
Frances only shot on target
came in the 32nd minute when
Yohan Cabayes free kick was
tipped over by Spain goalkeeper
Iker Casillas.
The match was sometimes
dull, but the Spanish did not real-
ly need to change gears after
Alonsos opening goal.
Although the French made it
out of the group stage for the first
time since the 2006 World Cup,
the manner of Saturdays loss will
be disappointing for a team tout-
ed as one of the tournaments
dangerous outsiders.
France formed a deep defen-
sive line and watched awe-struck
as Spainflickedtheball aroundas
if it were a training session. The
Spanish made dummy runs ev-
erywhere early on, andhada pen-
alty claim waved away in the
sixth minute when Cesc Fabre-
gas tumbled under a challenge
from left back Gael Clichy.
Spain soon pulled a compact
France teamout of positioninthe
10th minute as Iniesta curled a
ball behind center half Adil Rami
but it was too far for Fabregas to
reach.

AP Sports Writer
KIEV, Ukraine England has reac-
hed a familiar stumbling block at a ma-
jor tournament and, this time, captain
Steven Gerrard is determined to steer
his country into the semifinals.
England hasnt managed the feat in
16 years, since reaching the last four of
Euro 96 on home soil, and must now
beat Italy at the Eu-
ropean Champion-
ship on Sunday to
make it happen.
Previous at-
tempts failed at the
quarterfinal stages
of the 2002 and
2006 World Cups,
along with Euro 2004, and England has
never defeated Italy at a major tourna-
ment.
Still, Gerrard is upbeat about En-
glands chances.
The atmosphere has been superb in
the squad and the confidence and the
belief is there, he said Saturday. Its
just important for all the players to
seizethis moment becausefromexperi-
ence they dont come around very of-
ten.
So its important we leave every-
thing out there and we keep showing
everyonetoall our doubters andcrit-
ics out there that we are good
enough to compete with the top teams
at this level.
Because they havent been in the
past.
No England side has ever beaten a
major power such as Italy in the knock-
out stages of a tournament apart from
onhome soil inthe1966WorldCupand
Euro 96.
While failing to sparkle at Euro 2012,
England advanced to the quarterfinals
by topping its group with a doggedness
that France, SwedenandUkraine strug-
gled to deal with.
The level of performance of the
team and squad so far in the tourna-
ment gives me the confidence and the
belief, Gerrard said. In previous tour-
naments I think the reason we have
gone out is because the level of per-
formance has been under what were
capable of. I think weve got stronger as
the tournament has gone on and hope-
fully that will be the same tomorrow
night.
Englandbeat SwedenandUkraineaf-
ter drawing with France in Group D,
while Italy drew twice in Group C
against Spain and Croatia before de-
feating Ireland to finish second.
Theyve got a lovely mix of youth
and experience and theyve got a lot
athleticism, England coach Roy Hodg-
son said.
For us the most important thing ...
weve got to do is try to find our best
form and weve got to try to play as we
have done in the previous games.
This is very important for us and we
need to really control the game if we
can, try to take it by the scruff of the
neck, because we knowif Italy have the
chance to control the game, then it
could be a very long night for us.
Italy again
blocks way
for England
English side looks to break a pair
of skids and advance to the Euro
semifinals with a victory.

BUL L E T I N
BOARD
D
ave Buck and Frank Kratz live
50 miles apart in totally differ-
ent communities.
Bucks home is in the small town of
Sugar Run, Bradford County. Its a
quaint, quiet place typical of the
many rural towns of the Endless Moun-
tains region.
Kratz grew up in Wilkes-Barre and
still resides in the hustle and bustle of
the city. He left the area for a career in
the Army, but returned to the city for
good in 2002.
The places that Buck and Kratz
reside may be vastly different, but they
share a common bond formed and
strengthened by a river that flows
through their hometowns.
Both men own businesses that guide
people down the Susquehanna River
on kayaks. Buck started Endless Moun-
tain Outfitters 12 years ago after he
moved to Bradford County. His tours
focus mainly on the North Branch,
through picturesque towns such as
Laceyville, Wysox, Mehoopany and
Tunkhannock.
With his sun-bleached hair and flop-
py hat, Buck looks the part of a river
guide. But its not an act. The river is in
his heart.
A lake looks the same every day, but
a river changes and is always moving,
Buck said. Its alive.
Kratz opened Susquehanna River
Adventures eight years ago after fin-
ishing a 21-year career in the Army. He
guides kayakers from Harding to Bres-
lau, incorporating rural landscapes and
the urban areas of Pittston and Wilkes-
Barre, which are more beautiful when
viewed from the river.
Kratzs military training has given
him a responsible, safety-first approach
when he guides a trip, but it mixes well
with a fun side that makes every trip
different and unpredictable.
During a trip with Kratz in 2007, he
abruptly paddled his kayak to an is-
land, jumped out and grabbed a rope
swing tied to a nearby tree. After
launching himself into the river, Kratz
informed us that its bad luck to pass
up a rope swing.
Buck and Kratz both tout the bene-
fits of the river rather than dwell on its
faults. Sure, the tours traverse by areas
of acid mine drainage and concrete
stormwater/sewage overflows, but
thats minor compared to the positives.
When I started my business, the
stretch from the confluence of the
Lackawanna River down to Berwick
was basically written off, Kratz said.
People just dont know how valuable a
recreation asset they have here in their
own backyard.
Its an asset that has grown on Buck
and Kratz almost to the point of obses-
sion.
The river and all its beauty has be-
come their life.
I enjoy the wildlife on the river, the
history and trying to envision what it
was like here hundreds of years ago,
Buck said.
The sense of calm that comes over
you is a feeling you can only get on the
river, Kratz added.
And yes, while they run their busi-
nesses to make a living, Buck and
Kratz do have an ulterior motive: they
want to share their appreciation of the
river with others.
A lot of people never paddled the
river before. If you can get them out
there and get them to appreciate it,
theyll take care of it, Buck said.
Theyll also share in the bond that
has connected Buck and Kratz.
Dave has something inside him that
calls him to the river, just like I do,
Kratz said.
I hope that weve been able to
change a lot of perceptions about the
river by sharing the benefits that it has
to offer.

KINGSTON Dan Byorick Jr. tossed a
tube jig into the Susquehanna River and
bounced it over the rocky bottom.
A fish struck, and it didnt take long for
Byorick to realize it was big.
I knew it instantly. It was a great bite and
a good battle, Byorick said of the small-
mouth bass that turned out to be the winner
in Wednesdays tournament at Nesbitt Park.
Forty-two anglers competed in the first
week of the Suskie Bassmasters tournament,
which is held every Wednesday evening and
open to anyone. They launch from Nesbitt
Park and have three hours, 6-9 p.m., to fish.
The heaviest bass wins and a prize is also
awarded for the smallest fish.
Byoricks smallmouth weighed 2.87 pounds
and he caught it south of Wilkes-Barre.
This is my fourth year fishing this tourna-
ment and its always good to start the season
with a win, he said. My father and I look
forward to doing this every Wednesday and
the fishery in the river just keeps getting
better and better.
The tournament is in its seventh year and
began as a way to draw attention to the river
and the park, which needed work, said Suskie
president NormGavlick.
In 2005, he said, the road and parking lot in
the park were dirt and the boat launch was
rough. Today, the road and parking lot are
paved and anglers back their boats in with
ease down a wide, concrete ramp.
Between 40-50 anglers fish each week, and
throughout the season approximately 100
anglers participate here and there. The top 30
in total weight fish in the championship week
at the end of the season.
Its always nice to get back and start the
tournament up again, Gavlick said as he
pulled his boat out of the river on Wednesday
night. We have a good core group of guys
that is always here, and others who make it
when they can.
Suskie Bassmasters vice president Rob
Rosencrans said the tournament has evolved
into a summer tradition and through the
years has yielded some interesting findings
about the river. Today, he said, anglers are
seeing smaller fish yet the numbers remain
strong. Rosencrans said the reason for the
size difference is the rise in popularity of the
river.
When we started this tournament, the
bass fishing on the river was a secret. Now,
you can come here on a weekend and see 40
or 50 guys out there fishing, Rosencrans
said. More people are aware of the angling
opportunity thats right here in the Wyoming
Valley.
Paul Vitale of Hanover fished the tourna-
ment with his son, Dominic. They didnt win,
but still were happy to return to the event
after not being able to compete for several
years.
We fished it a fewyears ago but didnt
have time lately because of Little League,
Paul Vitale said. Thats over now, so were
back. Its a lot of fun.
The Vitales fish the river several times a
week and Paul said its clearly the best fishery
in the area. Aside from a healthy smallmouth
bass population, he said there are plenty of
other species that can be caught, including
trout, pike, muskie, catfish and carp.
But on Wednesday, their focus was bass.
Its a competitive tournament with a lot of
good anglers, Paul Vitale said. It was a little
slowtonight and we had some misses. But its
good to see all the newfaces here and all the
interest in fishing the river.
Dominic, 15, said while its enjoyable to fish
with his father, the competition of the tourna-
ment extends onto their boat.
We like to fish with each other, but we
also compete to see who can catch the big-
gest fish, Dominic Vitale said. (Paul) gets
really into it sometimes, and its a fun tourna-
ment because it only takes one bite to win it.

2012-13 licenses went on sale June 11, and
the antlerless deer license process begins
July 9. To register for a course in your
area, visit the Game Commissions web-
site (www.pgc.state.pa.us), and click on
the Hunter Education Classes icon in
the center of the homepage. From here,
you can elect to take either the basic
Hunter-Trapper Education course, which
is a 10-12 hour course held on two or
more days; or the Hunter-Trapper Educa-
tion Independent Study course, which is
a home-study course followed by a one-
day, two-hour classroom review and test.
Once determining which course format
best fits your schedule, you can register
online by selecting a course in your area
and then following the instructions.
Game Commission Hunter-Trapper
Education division chief Keith A. Snyder
noted that scheduling the agencys annual
slate of Hunter-Trapper Education classes
is always an ongoing operation, based on
the availability of instructors and facil-
ities, and the agencys ability to meet the
growing demand for more classes in
some counties.
If you dont see a class being offered
in your area, please continue to check the
website as more classes are added to the
class calendar, Snyder said. Please
know, though, that some areas have a
limited number of classes that may be
held at times that are inconvenient to
you. Our limited number of instructors
cannot always meet everyones needs and
wants. But they amazingly offer more
than 900 classes annually.
More than 35,500 individuals took HTE
courses throughout the state last year.
There is no fee for the basic HTE course.
Pre-registration is required and online
registration is available for all courses
through the class calendar.
In addition, registrations are being
accepted for other educational programs
offered by the Game Commission, in-
cluding Successful Bowhunting, Success-
ful Turkey Hunting, Successful Furtaking
and Cable Restraint Certification.

Volunteers wanted for river
cleanup
Several organizations are
partnering to hold Operation
North Branch: Restore the
Susquehanna. The two-day
cleanup will be held from 9
a.m. to 3 p.m. on June 29-30.
In an effort to clean up the
debris and garbage from the
devastation of last Septembers
Tropical Storm Lee and Hurri-
cane Irene, as well as the on-
going problem of illegal dump-
ing, North Branch Land Trust,
Endless Mountains Heritage

PFBC to feature Ned Smith
prints
For the first time in its 81-
year history, the Pennsylvania
Fish and Boat Commissions
periodical Pennsylvania Angler
and Boater is providing a limit-
ed-edition series of fine art
prints by acclaimed wildlife
artist Ned Smith. The prints
will feature commonwealth fish
species and be included in the
magazine as part of its regular
offering to readers.
Starting with the July/Au-
gust 2012 edition and proceed-
ing through to the May/June
2013 edition, the PFBC will
provide a series of six prints
featuring American shad, large-
mouth bass, walleye, northern
pike, bluegill and brook trout.
The original drawings by
Smith were first distributed as
a special print portfolio by the
PFBC in the early 1980s.
Ned Smith began his dis-
tinguished art career by paint-
ing a cover for the January
1940 edition of Pennsylvania
Angler, the forerunner of Penn-
sylvania Angler and Boater.
His love of nature and for
the Commonwealths fish spe-
cies was evident in his paint-
ings of game fish, as well as
the countless hours that he
spent fishing Pennsylvanias
waters. From his personal jour-
nals through to his artwork,
Smiths observations, attention
to detail, personal experiences
and tremendous artistic talent
proved to be a combination
that produced fine art sought
by many, from those who en-
joy the outdoors to fine art
gallery enthusiasts.
This print series will truly
be a limited edition. The quan-
tities for these high-quality
prints on heavyweight paper
are being strictly limited to the
quantities of magazine copies
ordered by the Commission.
Whether as a magazine sub-
scriber or with a separate pur-
chase of the editions, readers
will be collecting a piece of
Pennsylvanias angling heritage,
as captured by one of the
worlds most gifted wildlife
artists.
Anglers and non-anglers
alike are encouraged to pur-
chase a magazine subscription
or a gift subscription for some-
one they know who is an ad-
mirer of Smiths artwork.
Pricing to receive six 64-
page editions per year is very
affordable at $12 for one year
and $30 for three years.
Subscriptions can be easily
ordered through the Commis-
sions online store, The Out-
door Shop, at www.fishand-
boat.com. Subscribers will have
the satisfaction of ensuring
their collection of this series
while saving up to 44 percent
off the magazine cover price.

NESHANIC STATION, N.J.
Kyung Kim won the U.S.
Womens Amateur Public Links
on Saturday, beating Ashlan
Ramsey 4 and 2 in the 36-hole
final at Neshanic Valley.
The 18-year-old Kim, from
Chandler, Ariz., took a 2-up
lead with a birdie on the 32nd
hole, won the 33rd with anoth-
er birdie and took the 34th
with a par to close out the
match.
I just cant believe it, said
Kim, who will be a freshman at
Southern California this fall.
It was a long week, but to be
finally done and to win, its
pretty amazing.
Fighting 20 mph wind, Kim
had 10 birdies in 34 holes.
I didnt know I had ten bird-
ies, said Kim.
Thats so much.
The 16-year-old Ramsey,
from Milledgeville, Ga., had
eight birdies.
Kyung, obviously, played
better than me, but I think the
difference was she made more
putts than I did, Ramsey said.
The tournament is limited to
players who dont hold privi-
leges at any course that doesnt
extend playing privileges to
the general public.

FidelityBank Does It Better! 800.388.4380 | www.bankatfidelity.com
A
week before news broke that
middle-class Americans had
suffered a devastating loss in net
worth, a survey conducted for financial
powerhouse Wells Fargo found a dra-
matic but now understandable
drop in optimism among investors.
The decline was most evident in
retirees, whose optimism fell to +17
from +38 in February and +61 a year
ago. Keep in mind the survey, conduct-
ed by Gallup, has wide swings, from a
high of +178 at the height of the dot-
.com boom to -64 in February 2009.
Still, combined with the Federal
Reserve report on shrinking net worth,
theres reason for concern by anyone
planning for retirement, no matter
what their age. Aside from falling net
worth and investor confidence, the
puny size of many Americans nest
eggs attracted my attention.
The Wells Fargo/Gallup survey, for
example, considered an individual or
household with only $10,000 an Amer-
ican investor.
Wait a minute. If were taking most
financial advice Ive ever read, we
should have more than that in a rainy
day fund.
Im usually skeptical that anything
emanating from a bank or brokerage
firm is a disguised sales pitch, but after
looking over the numbers and talking
to a couple of financial professionals it
seems their best advice is worth taking.
Whats that? Have a financial plan
and if it makes you more comfortable,
find someone you trust to help you
sketch it out. Because its not going to
get any easier to save and invest.
Financial advice columns often sug-
gest youll need a certain percentage of
your current income in retirement. But
that simplistic approach could cause a
big miss. Some peoples living costs
will plunge after they retire, or theyll
happily sacrifice luxuries for financial
security. Others may envision a life of
daily golf and meals out that could
increase their spending.
A better approach, suggests Pete
Shelp at Janney Montgomery Scott in
Kingston, is to calculate your actual
living costs. The ones that do it best
go from the bottom up, starting with
real expenses, he said. Then they figure
out how much money they need to
invest and what rate of return theyll
need. Right now he favors a balanced
portfolio that leans toward fixed-in-
come securities and reliable dividend-
paying stocks.
But this observation sums up the
basic problem: People are not saving
enough.
You can debate why buying too
much stuff we dont need, homes that
are too big or cars that are too fancy
but its a fact. Its also true that Amer-
icans must do their planning largely on
their own, since employers off-loaded
risk and responsibility by switching
from pensions to 401(k) plans.
If youve got one of those, chances
are youve received very little help
figuring out how to make it grow, and
your earnings have been sharply re-
duced by broker and trading fees.
The last decade has been tough on
investors, Shelp said, as portfolios have
stagnated.
The best way to change that is to
make savings grow over the years, with
contributions and earnings. Otherwise
you could be one of the unfortunate
people he has to tell you dont have
enough to retire.

WASHINGTON A record-
breaking mission to the Interna-
tional Space Station has triggered
another space race back on Earth,
with Florida competing against
Texas and Puerto Rico for the
chance to land a new launch pad
for Space Exploration Technolo-
gies Corp., or SpaceX, and its am-
bitious line of Falcon rockets.
The rivalry already ongoing
only has intensified in the
weeks since SpaceX became the
first commercial company to blast
a spacecraft to the station and re-
turnit safely toEarth. Andthough
none of the ri-
vals has made
public the in-
centives each
isoffering, the
numbers are
certain to be
inthemillions
of dollars.
The stakes
are high: hun-
dreds of good-
paying jobs at
SpaceX and
supporting
companies
that would
pop up around its operation, as
well as the prestige at a time
when NASAis no longer flying its
ownrockets of servingas home
tothecommercial spaceindustrys
most successful startup.
SpaceXfounder Elon Musk, the
Internet billionaire who founded
his company a decade ago in Cali-
fornia, is expected to take full ad-
vantage of the competition.
As part of his victory lap follow-
ing the successful return of his
Dragoncapsulefromthespacesta-
tion, Muskmet last weekwithTex-
as Gov. RickPerrytodiscuss locat-
ing a launch pad at the southern-
most tip of the Lone Star State.
Texas officials and economic
leaders have acknowledged work-
ing on an incentive package, esti-
mated in the millions of dollars, to
lure SpaceX to the city of Browns-
ville. Andthe Federal AviationAd-
ministration, which must sign off
on new launch sites, already has
heldapublichearingonthat possi-
bility.
So far, SpaceXhas not disclosed
what incentives it has beenoffered
or the timing of its decision,
though Musk recently indicated
that Texas might have the inside
track, calling it the lead candi-
date before meeting with Perry.
Florida officials acknowledge
the competition is keen. Theyre

asked her if she wanted to buy
the business. She didnt have to
think twice. As a result, the
25,000-square-foot Kurlan-
cheek Home Furnishings is
once again helping people in
the Wyoming Valley furnish
their homes and employs 15
people.
But the battle against other
furniture stores, especially na-
tional chains with big advertis-
ing campaigns and even bigger
bucks, isnt easy.
I spent a lot of time thinking
about how to compete with the
big boxes, she said. It took
four years but I think I figured it
out. You have to be different.
She said individualized ser-
vice, being more open to selling
different brands, including up
and coming, non-household
names, and catering to custom-
er requests has set her store
apart and helped it hold its own
even in tough economic times.
Im the little guy in this
fight, but I can bob and weave,
she said. She can change floor
design and layout whenever she
wants, whereas national chains
need permission from corpo-
rate headquarters. She can or-
der merchandise that she may
usually stock, whereas the big
box stores deal with certain
brands and items and you can
take it or leave it.
I almost dont say no to
anything a customer asks, Kur-
lancheek said with a chuckle.
She said the approach has
worked and shes noticed cus-
tomers who may have shop-
ped at big box or lower price
point furniture stores starting
to come in.
Theyre coming back to
this homey feeling, she said.
And to her, its those types of
small victories that give her
hope her familys name will re-
main a part of local furniture
lore for a long time.

dipped, sales slowed somewhat but
newdevelopment offset thoselosses.
There were developments upon

Whether buying an existing

Theres a lot of good quality stuff
coming out of China, Lomando
said. But theres plenty of what he
called cheap stuff in the market
thats loweringprices at many chain
stores and affecting sales at stores
likeBell that sell quality items.
We try to set ourselves apart by
selling medium to upper medium
quality, Lomando said. We try to
stay out of the rat race with all the
cheapstuff.

company will use to launchall its
NASA flights, including the doz-
en space-station resupply mis-
sions in its $1.6 billion contract
with the agency. Any future crew
flights would also be launched
fromthere.
But SpaceX officials said the
one Florida pad isnt enough to
handlebothits government work
and flights for commercial cus-
tomers.
Our manifest is growing
quickly, andwewill needanaddi-
tional launch site, said Kirstin
Brost Grantham, the companys
spokeswoman.
SpaceX recently inked a deal
withIntelsat, amajor satelliteop-
erator, for a future launch aboard
a massive new rocket that is still
under development. Anditsman-
ifest already shows more than a
half-dozen commercial flights
through 2014 in which SpaceX
will carry satellites to orbit.
Frank DiBello, head of Space
Florida, said the state intends to
be aggressively competitive in
landingthenewlaunchpadby
offering financial incentives; one
offer under consideration is con-
vertingapadformerlyusedbythe
space shuttle at Kennedy Space
Center into a facility for SpaceX.
Still, DiBello admitted that
Florida faces one obstacle that
has no immediate solution. The
Air Force and NASA already use
CapeCanaveral forlaunchesof
government satellites and space
probes and SpaceX at times
couldbeforcedtowait itsturnun-
til the range is clear.
Considering that Musk has de-
signed his company to be as au-
tonomous as possible, having to
wait for a launch window might
beadeal-breakerwhencompared
to remote locations in Texas and
Puerto Rico.
Indeed, Puerto Rican officials
are making geography a core ar-
gument in their pitch.
Jose Perez-Riera, the islands
secretary for economic develop-
ment andcommerce, saidPuerto
Rico has been talking with
SpaceX for more than a year
about potential sites on the east
coast.
Perez-Riera saidPuerto Rico is
closer to the equator than Cape
Canaveral or Brownsville, which
means SpaceXrockets woulduse
less fuel (and thus cost less to
launch to orbit) because rockets
get moreof aboostfromEarths
rotation near the equator.
He said Puerto Rico could pro-
vide significant tax breaks and
otherincentivesforSpaceXfor
the same reason that Texas and
Florida are crafting offers.
It would put Puerto Rico on

try, he said.

Q: My manager hardly ever
communicates with me. During
the six months that Ive been in
this job, Debra has never met
with me individually. If I send
her a meeting request, she ig-
nores it. In fact, she ignores
most of my emails. When I try
calling on the phone, Debra al-
ways says shes busy and will get
back to me, but she never does.
Dropping by her office is diffi-
cult because were located in dif-
ferent buildings.
Debra expects me to email
her a weekly report, and she oc-
casionally replies with ques-
tions about my activities. But
she never seems interested in
my long-term projects or career
goals. This worries me, because
she is responsible for recom-
mending raises andpromotions.
How can Debra accurately eval-
uate my performance if she
doesnt talk to me?
A: Some misguided managers
view employee communication
as a distraction instead of recog-
nizing that it is actually a core
function of their job. Unfortu-
nately, your unapproachable
boss falls into this category.
Because Debra is clearly not a
people person, she is more
likely to respond to immediate
work-related concerns. A gener-
al request for a meeting wont
seem particularly important un-
less she knows the agenda. If
you specify the topics you wish
to discuss and their relationship
to current objectives, you may
have more luck getting her at-
tention.
As a relatively new arrival,
you might also benefit from
comparing notes with your col-
leagues, especially those who
seem to work well with your
boss. Ask if they cansuggest any
useful strategies for managing
up, but be careful not to com-
plain about Debras leadership
style.
For example: Debra always
seems to be extremely busy, so
Ive found it difficult to schedule
meetings withher. Sincethetwo
of you appear to have a good re-
lationship, I wondered if you
could give me some insight
about how she prefers to com-
municate with the staff.
But if nothing seems to work,
then you may simply need to ac-
cept that your boss has reclusive
tendencies and modify your be-
havior accordingly. Otherwise,
she will eventually begin to find
you annoying.
Q: Whenever someone takes
sick leave, that information is
publiclypostedinour online cal-
endar. Everyone in the company
has access to this program. Even
though Imnot sick very often, I
really dont think its anyone
elses business. Is this a violation
of my legal rights?
A: Not being an attorney, I
cant comment on the legality of
this practice. But from a com-
munication standpoint, its the
fact of an absence that matters,
not the cause. In the interest of
efficiency, many offices indicate
whether peopleareinor out, but
the reason is generally irrele-
vant.
Share your concerns about
privacy with your boss or hu-
man resources manager, then
ask if the posting could be
changed to simply show per-
sonal time when someone
takes vacation or sick leave.
This is an easy fix that should
not inconvenience anyone, so
your request might very well be
granted.

THE EXCEPTION
Investors have fled most mutual funds run by
stock pickers. Theyre opting instead for index
funds, which tend to have lower expenses.
But one group of actively managed stock
funds remains popular: dividend funds. They
attracted $21.7 billion over the last year,
Morningstar says. That compares with $172.3
billion that investors pulled out of actively
managed stock funds. Morningstar says it may
be because dividend stocks offer income
when bond yields are so low and seem safer
than other stocks.
GUESSING THE GUESSES
Its the latest meta-indicator for stocks: Goldman Sachs has a
system to predict when analysts will change their predictions
on corporate ea rnings. Investors like to know, because stock
prices tend to move with
earnings expectations.
One way of valuing
a stock, for exam-
ple, is to look at its
price versus ana-
lysts expectations
for earnings over
the next year. Gold-
man Sachs system
looks at everything from
activity in New York ports
to scrap metal prices to
hotel occupancy. It ex-
pects a downward re-
vision for June.

WARNING BELLS
More companies are warning that analysts
have too-high expectations for their upcoming
earnings.
Procter & Gamble (PG) said last week that
weaker-than-expected demand from developed
countries means it will earn up to 79 cents per
share this quarter. Analysts
expected 82 cents. Com-
panies often give a
sneak peek of their up-
coming earnings results.
Nearly four companies
have been hinting at dis-
couraging numbers for every
one offering encouragement,
the highest ratio in about a
dozen years, says RBC
Capital Markets. It may fore-
shadow a shaky second-quar-
ter earnings season. Source: Morningstar *annualized Total returns through June 19th Source: FactSet

Styles come and go in the stock
market, just as they do in the fash-
ion world. Growth-oriented stocks
have outperformed value stocks
for the past five years, and theyre
maintaining that advantage in
2012.
Its been an unusually long run
for growth stocks, which typically
generate revenue and earnings at
an above-average rate. Examples
are Apple and Google. Value
stocks produce steadier earnings,
often pay out dividends and are
considered cheap based on their
price-to-earnings ratios. Ted
Baszler believes the run for
growth stocks is likely to end by
next year, with value recapturing
the lead. Baszler has co-managed
the Heartland Select Value Fund
since 2004. Since its 1996 launch,
its rolling three-year returns have
beaten the average among its
mid-cap value peers more than 80
percent of the time. Heres his out-
look on growth-vs.-value.
Value investors have been pre-
mature in predicting that value
stocks would recapture perfor-
mance leadership. Why do you
think a shift is nearly at hand?
Since 2007, investors have recog-
nized that the economy is weak,
and theyve focused on stocks that
can deliver earnings growth re-
gardless of the economic climate.
Thats created demand for growth
stocks. But theres been a run-up
in their valuations, to the point that
many growth stocks are expensive
relative to their earnings. Consider
many of the recent initial public of-
ferings of growth stocks. Zynga,
Groupon and Facebook are all
trading well below their IPO pric-
es. These arent necessarily bad
companies, but the valuation of
these IPOs was excessive. Its a
sign that growth-stock valuations
might be at a level thats unsus-
tainable.
But that wouldnt necessarily
mean that value stocks would
begin to outperform. What fac-
tor might tip the balance in
values favor?
The housing market recovery is
crucial. It has been slow to recov-
er, and it continues to weigh on
the broader economic recovery. It
hurts consumer confidence. But
there are signs that the housing
slump may hit bottom in the next
12 to 24 months and turn around.
Were starting to see significant
rent increases, and that could lead
many families to buy rather than
continue to rent. Home affordabili-
ty is at record levels. When hous-
ing turns around, thats the point
when investors will come back to
value stocks.
How have you positioned your
value-oriented fund for a possi-
ble value stock comeback?
Weve moved more into large-cap
stocks in the last year and half,
because were finding more value
in that area of the market than in
mid- and small-caps. We recently
had about 46 percent of the port-
folio invested in large-caps, which
is unusually high for this fund.
Is it the end for
growth stocks?

Big data is booming. The market is expected to more
than quintuple to $16.9 billion in 2015 from $3.2 billion in
2010, says research firm IDC.
The industry helps compa-
nies analyze the vast amount of
data theyre collecting in order
to tailor their goods and
services to customers wants
and needs. The explosive
growth is fueled by the
plummeting cost of data
storage.
The price tag for storing a
petabyte or 1 million
gigabytes has dropped 99
percent in 10 years to $1.4
million, from $97 million (the highest-end iPad holds
64 gigabytes). And storage is still getting cheaper,
says Pacific Crest Securities.
That means companies are piling up troves of data
they can mine to find new ways to boost revenue and
cut costs. The problem is that corporate databases
often dont communicate well with each other.
Teradata (TDC), for example, helped Volvo process
data collected from the diagnostic computers in its cars.
In 15 minutes, Volvo can now generate a report showing
all the problems the chips recorded by specific model and
year. It used to take two weeks to
compile the report.
Big data is a young industry and
financial analysts say these stocks
may be among the biggest winners:
IBM: A leading hardware and
software supplier for the big data
industry, it also is a dominant player
in cloud computing, another rapidly
growing area in technology.
Splunk: The software provider
helps businesses analyze
everything from call records to network usage. Its not
profitable, but Credit Suisse expects its revenue to rise 45
percent this fiscal year. The stock is up 74 percent since
its April initial public offering at $17 per share.
EMC: The data-storage computer maker has made
big acquisitions to bolster its big data offerings, including
a $2.3 billion purchase of data storage company Isilon in
2010.

Data through June 22; Source: FactSet
Interest rates cant keep dropping,
can they?
Yields on longer-term Treasurys
dropped to record lows earlier this
month, with the 10-year yield fall-
ing as low as 1.44 percent on June
1. Thats down from about 3 percent
a year ago. It also leaves less room
for further declines.
Several economists expect rates
to turn higher as the year progress-
es and panic about the global econo-
my moderates. Credit Suisse econo-
mists expect the 10-year yield to end
the year at 2.1 percent. Deutsche
Bank economists expect it to rise to
2.5 percent.
This screen from Goldman Sachs
shows stocks whose prices have his-
torically gotten a boost from rising
rates. Theyre listed in order of their
sensitivity.
Investors often worry that rising
interest rates can hurt stock prices
because it makes borrowing more
expensive. But higher rates can al-
so indicate greater condence in the
economys strength.
To be sure, analysts have been
predicting for years that interest rates
will rise, and they havent yet. The
Federal Reserve has also pledged to
keep short-term rates at their record
low until late 2014.

Mortgage rates sink again
The average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage fell
for the seventh time in eight weeks and once
again dropped to a record low. It fell to 3.66 per-
cent from 3.71 percent and remains well below
the 4.5 percent that it was a year ago. The aver-
age rate on a 15-year fixed mortgage also fell, to
2.95 percent from 2.98 percent, which could
make refinancing more attractive.

THERE WAS always
something hapless
about Rodney King.
He entered the
nations conscious-
ness and its con-
science as a sham-
bling drunk, an unemployed black
construction worker who tried to
outrun L.A. police rather than be
arrested for drunk driving. The result
was a police beating, surreptitiously
captured on video, so profoundly
vicious that the chief of police himself
said it made him sick. In 1992, when a
suburban jury, conspicuously bleached
of black jurors, acquitted four white
police officers of any crime, the City of
Angels went to hell, erupting in one of
the worst urban riots in modern
American history.
Haplessness thereafter attached to
King like a stink, as he bounced in and
out of the news for domestic violence,
drunken run-ins with police, driving
into a tree under the influence of PCP.
Even the manner of his death Sunday
has about it that familiar odor of hap-
lessness. King is believed to have
accidentally drowned in his backyard
pool.
If true, isnt that about what you
would have expected? Hapless could
have been his middle name.
But there was a moment, a signa-
ture moment, when Rodney Glen
King was not hapless. You remember
it, of course: Los Angeles is burning,
the death toll is mounting, property
damage is approaching $1 billion, the
National Guard is trying to restore
peace, the Red Cross is trying to help
the stricken, and there comes King,
shaken and uncertain, agony on his
face and tears in his voice, pleading
for peace and asking a question decep-
tive in its simplicity:
Can we all get along?
There was something almost un-
forgivably earnest about that question,
something guileless, naked, even
innocent. It came with no smirk of
mocking subtext, no nudge of ironic
knowing, no wink of post-modern
detachment. It came from the heart,
and some of us did not know how to
process that.
Perhaps thats why they transfigured
it, removed it from the realm of seri-
ous things, made it a catchphrase, the
punch line to a joke no one had told.
As a rule, history has shown flaw-
less judgment in picking icons for
African-Americas struggle for human
rights. It chose quiet, dignified Rosa
Parks as the emblem of the fight
against segregation. It chose hand-
some Emmett Till as the face of racial
violence.
So perhaps King seems an odd
choice as the symbol of police brutal-
ity. But there is a reason Shakespeare
put wisdom into the mouths of fools.
The fool could get away with saying
what others could not.
No, King was not a fool. But he was
a hapless guy, taken less than serious-
ly in part because he asked that
question others would not. Yet that
question, the one some of us tried to
giggle into irrelevance, is the defining
question of the American experiment.
It follows us down 236 years of slav-
ery, restrictive housing covenants,
lynchings, suffragettes, Trails of Tears,
English Only debates, No Irish Need
Apply signs, Stonewall uprisings,
sexism, anti-Semitism, racism, riot,
wreck and ruin.
Can we all get along?
King, a more reflective man than
stereotype and his own behavior
would lead you to believe understood
the unique symbolism his life and that
question had conferred upon him.
I sometimes feel like Im caught in
a vise, he told the Los Angeles Times
earlier this year. Some people feel
like Im some kind of hero. Other
people, I can hear them mocking me
for when I called for an end to the
destruction, like Im a fool for believ-
ing in peace.
It is telling that more of us seemed
to deride his question than sought to
answer it. But if the man who believes
we must all get along is a fool, then
you really have to wonder:
What word is left for the man who
does not?

BY NOW MOST
sentient Americans
have heard about
the war on women.
That is, the so-
called Republican
war on women,
which has been
framed as a battle waged by stodgy
old white guys who want to deny
women reproductive freedom.
One can debate the validity of
these claims, but for now, lets give
equal time to the other war on wom-
en. This one is manned not by men
but by a dwindling number of wom-
en whose understanding of equality
is so narrowly defined that only a
certain kind of woman can be recog-
nized as having achieved anything of
value.
Twenty-two such women recently
wrote a letter to the Sewall-Belmont
House and Museum protesting an
award to be given to former first
lady Laura Bush. The Alice Award,
which honors a woman who has
helped other women, previously has
gone to Hillary Clinton, Katie Cour-
ic, Nancy Pelosi and Olympia
Snowe.
Leading the charge of The 22, as
we shall call them, is Sonia Press-
man Fuentes, co-founder of the Na-
tional Organiza-
tion for Women,
who described her
reaction upon
reading that Bush
was being honored
as a sudden onset
of Alzheimers.
Well, at least she
didnt say the va-
pors.
I couldnt be-
lieve my eyes, she
said. Its not par-
tisan. Im not complaining that shes
a Republican. (Because Snowe,
after all, is a Republican.) Im com-
plaining that shes never done any-
thing for women to get this award.
That sound you hear is the collec-
tive gasp of the many who have read
a newspaper in the past 10 years or
the countless women who, indeed,
have been helped by Bush. To say
that she has never done anything for
women suggests either willful igno-
rance or malicious revisionism.
The soft-spoken former first lady
may not have marched down Penn-
sylvania Avenue with her sisters to
celebrate or protest this or that. But
when you live at 1600, you dont
have to. Being a first lady grants
certain privileges, one of which is a
bully pulpit. Mrs. Bush used hers to
great effect, not just by advancing
womens rights in far corners of the
world but also by literally saving
lives.
To assert anything less is disin-
genuous if not dishonest. It is also
an insult to a woman of whom all
Americans should be proud.
I have some personal knowledge
of Mrs. Bushs significant efforts
through the years. While most asso-
ciate her with literacy programs, no
small detail, she also has made im-
portant inroads for womens health.
I was among three journalists, in-
cluding Greta Van Susteren and
Robin Roberts, who traveled with
the first lady through the Middle
East in 2007 to launch a breast can-
cer research and treatment initiative
in Saudi Arabia, Jordan and the
United Arab Emirates.
We watched as Mrs. Bush met
with women who whispered their
secrets to her, in some cases saying
for the first time the words breast
cancer. These were women, after
all, who couldnt even get a mam-
mogram without their husbands
permission. Even saying the word
breast was verboten and cancer a
disease of shame. Afflicted women
often were abandoned by their hus-
bands, and their daughters so stig-
matized that they were deemed
unsuitable for marriage.
We also watched as she met with
heads of state, charming kings,
sheiks and princes and helping them
see the importance of womens

O
n a mild sunny day 40 years ago, some
1,300 students walked out of Plymouth
High School for the last time. I know it
was a mild sunny day because I celebrated it, my
last day of ninth grade, by walking all the way
fromKingston to Plymouth. (Having never done
this before, I didnt have the slightest idea how
long it would take. I set my alarmclock early and
arrived with a half hour to spare.)
That impulsive walk was my only sentimental
gesture on that last day of school, because I knew
wewouldreturnnext September toPlymouthfor
the 10th grade. You are not nostalgic when you
step outside for a summer intermission.
But of course we didnt return. When I walked
back into Plymoutha week later, I hadto take the
back road through Larksville, since Main Street
was nowunder 20 or so feet of water. It was June
23, 1972 and Tropical Storm Agnes had flooded
much of the Wyoming Valley. I could get no clos-
er than Shawnee Avenue, which runs parallel to
Main Street, halfway up the mountainside. Here,
under a low steel-gray sky, standing with a few
classmates from Plymouth I remember Sha-
ron Strickland, looking stunned I could see
the high school half-submerged in the churning
brown floodwater.
And that was my last experience of Plymouth
High School until I visited on June 13 this year.
By chance, I had to drive through the town to
pick some up documents froma lawyer (medical
care for an aging parent) and on a sudden im-
pulse I drove past the school. I noticed a metal
fence around it and stopped to find out why. To
my great distress, a distress greater than I would
have believed, I learned that the school is to be
demolished later this summer. Fortunately, at
the back of the building I ran into one of those
local types that I thought was extinct inAmerica:
the broad-minded school nurse, sitting outside
for a cigarette break.
Could I peek inside?
Indeed, I could. And so for the first time in 40
years, almost exactly to the day, I found myself
back inside Plymouth High School.
As far as architecture is concerned, the high

school is neither original nor innovative. It is sim-
ply one of those solid, serviceable andbeautifully
constructed school buildings built a century ago,
whenit seemedthat America couldbuilddurable
and efficient public buildings effortlessly. It was
built in several stages. The first wing opened in
September 1913, and was designed by Alfred
Freeman, a Cornell-trained, New York architect
who got the job through local connections (he
was born in Plymouth). A few years later the
building with doubled in size with a matching
wing. The two halves are joined perfectly in the
front, but if yougotothe backof the building, you
can easily spot the joint.
The town was growing violently during these
years, the climax of the anthracite coal industry,
and a handsome newbuilding was added in1924
by Lewis Hancock, a Scranton architect . To join
The Main Street Elementary School of the Wyoming Valley West School District is scheduled to be razed. It has a long history.

Sunday events
cut church time
H
ere it comes. Another
A-B-C-Sunday. Thats
Anything But Church
Sunday, and we believers are
partly to blame.
Look at any Monday morn-
ing paper and youll find mul-
tiple pictures of events that
were scheduled for Sunday
morning with the effect of
taking people and especially
children away from church
and religious education. Then
we wonder why our children
have no moral compass. We
believers have allowed this to
happen for fear of being called
intolerant. Well, tolerance is a
two-way street, but I dont see
any tolerance toward Chris-
tians.
This weekend features an-
other event scheduled to start
Friday at 5 p.m, to be tolerant
of those working until 5 p.m.,
opening Saturday at noon so
those who sleep in can make
it, but the Sunday start is at 10
a.m., basically telling thou-
sands of Christians who wor-
ship on Sunday morning:
Dont bother showing up!
This is not an isolated in-
cident. Sunday morning has
now become the time for
football, soccer, cheerleading,
road races, bike races, fishing
derbies and car shows.
When surveys show that 43
percent of our neighbors claim
no religious affiliation you
must wonder if they have a
moral compass.
Many of these Sunday
morning events are worth-
while, but last I checked Sun-
day had 24 hours just like any
other day. From a pure busi-
ness standpoint, youd think
the events would be scheduled
when the greatest number of
people could participate.
Not at a time that excludes
those very people who might
be more interested in the
cause.
Did you ever wonder why
NFL games rarely start before
1 p.m. local time on Sunday?
They know who their fans are
and are willing to wait for
them to get home from
church.

Theft of furniture
appalls resident
I
am a local resident who
worked in the area for the
last 20 years and then lost
my job when the company
closed. I have been trying to
make ends meet by selling
some household items at my
yard sale. To my utter shock
and dismay some rotten peo-
ple stole a large piece of furni-
ture with me there. Obviously
they are quite accomplished at
doing this and I am just won-
dering how many other strug-
gling people have been the
victims of this kind of theft.
I guess I could understand if
it were a small item that could
have been easily pocketed. But
this was a large, one-of-a-kind
piece of furniture that was
made for my sister before she
died from cancer. Do people
have no shame in the vicious
acts they commit?
Lina Roman
Swoyersville
Mundy restates
property tax stand
W
hile Mike Baloga is cer-
tainly free to support my
opponent in this years
election, he should at least do
so based on the facts.
To correct the misrepre-
sentation of the facts in his
recent letter to the editor, I
submit remarks I made in the
House Finance Committee on
HB1776.
My challenge here today is
how to balance support for
our childrens education in
public schools with reducing
local property taxes, the most
regressive tax levied in any
state.
I detailed the history of our
attempts to reduce our re-
liance on property taxes at a
recent public hearing on this
bill, so I wont do it again here
today. Suffice it to say that
nothing we have tried so far
has solved the problem. State
and local referendums have
failed to pass, gaming revenue
has not been sufficient.
We, as a Legislature, have
added to the problem by in-
creasing school employee
pensions but not funding
them, diverting resources to
charter and cyber charter
schools, diverting resources to
private and parochial schools
and now for the last two years
cutting general fund appropri-
ations, leaving school boards
with little choice but to raise
property taxes.
HB1776 is terribly flawed.
The bill is poorly drafted with
ambiguous language, it leaves
a 3.5 billion dollar funding gap
between the new revenue it
raises and the property taxes
it eliminates, it gives the large-
st multi-state, multi-national
corporations huge property
tax breaks while harming
small businesses, and it may
very well be in violation of our
constitutions uniformity
clause.
However, having said all
that, this issue must be resolv-
ed and resolved here at the
state level. No more passing
the buck to voters at the local
level.
I agree with Terry Madon-
na and Michael Youngs recent
opinion piece in which they
characterize our reliance on
property taxes as Pennsylva-
nias crisis. I must agree. And
so, as flawed as HB1776 is, it
forces the discussion forward.
And so I will be voting in favor
of this bill here today.
Ironically for Mr. Baloga, a
Republican on the committee
moved to table the bill and the
motion carried with a majority
of Republican votes.
I have worked for property
tax relief for some 30 years
now, long before I got to the
Legislature. The urban, subur-
ban and rural diversity and
special circumstances of Penn-
sylvania makes this a difficult
problem to solve.
All I or any legislator can do
is keep trying and I will.

She nods. She goes to press a button.
Did you say The Avengers? she asks.

He fills a cup. He stares at it.
Do you want room for cream? he asks.
Is it just me? Or does no one in the ser-

speak? It seems that any transaction now
requires at least one repeat. Sometimes
two. Sometimes the person actually walks
away, then comes back and says, Did you
say rye toast or sourdough?
And you say, Wheat.
Right. Wheat.
It is not occasional. It is not coincidental.
And I know its not volume, because I have
been accused of having a voice that can be
heard across a football field. But I still get
asked, Medium or large?
Twice.
Its as if people behind the counters are
on some kind of autopilot. Their bodies
move, their teeth smile, they recite the
right lines.
But they are a thousand miles away.
What size shoe do you wear? he asks.
A 9, I say.
You want to try those on?
Yes, thanks.
What size?
Uh ... 9?
Nine it is, he says.
That comes with salad or coleslaw, she
says.
Coleslaw, I say.
And to drink?
Just water.
She looks at her pad.
Did you say salad or coleslaw?
I need a repairman, I say into the
phone.
OK, says the voice. We have Tuesday
or Thursday.
Tuesday is better.
Before noon or after?
Before would be better.
All right. Before noon on Thursday.
Tuesday.
You want Tuesday now?
I blame TV. I blame video games. I blame
the mindless blare that our kids have been
weaned on, noise, explosions, blasting mu-
sic, 100 images a minute. No wonder we
cant stay focused long enough to remember
soup or salad.
But where is this going? If, as a nation,
we cannot stay on task, what hope do we
have?
Once, if you took a service job, you were
told on the first day the customer is always
right. I heard this as a fast-food cook, a
janitor, a security guard and an ice cream
scooper. Didnt matter if the customers
were unreasonable, impatient, rude or snar-
ky. They were spending money. It was your
job to make them happy.
Today, the customer is little more than an
annoyance on the other side of the glass, or
phone, or counter. You need only to spend
an hour with your cable company to know
that.
Do you have extension cords?
How long do you want?
How long are they?
Ten feet, 20 feet and 50 feet.
Ill take the 20 feet.
OK ... here you go.
Thats the 50 feet.
Which one did you want?
Im looking for a book. The authors
name is Cane.
OK, she says. Let me look.
I wait. She types.
Sorry, we have no books named Cane.
But hes a well-known author.
Wait ... Cane is the author?
Fries?
Yes, please.
Large or small?
Small.
Drink?
Coke.
And how about fries?
It is maddening. Frightening. And kind of
sad. Our job concentration is waning, and
our dedication is right behind it. Next time
you are in a transaction, count how many
times you have to repeat something. The
best you can conclude is this: If the devil is
in the details, then we have nothing to
worry about.
Nobody remembers them.

COMMENTARY
M I T C H A L B O M
I KNOW, I KNOW. The
presumptive Republican
nominee for president,
former Massachusetts Gov.
Mitt Romney, will never
pluck someone from the
bottom of everyones list
and put him on the ticket as his vice presi-
dential running mate. But he should.
This week when the U.S. Supreme Court
reveals its decisions on a series of important
cases, not the least of which is the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act (Oba-
macare) and Arizonas controversial state
immigration law, attention will turn to
Romneys likely choice for vice president.
The list of wannabes is a long one.
When former Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida
and current Indiana governor Mitch Daniels
made clear they would not accept the offer,
the A-team left the building.
Daniels, likely to become the next presi-
dent of Purdue University, said he would
disconnect the phone if he thought the
call was coming and Jeb, 59, wants the top
job for himself in 2016.
What is Mitt to do when his remaining
options leave independent voters unin-
spired, are unable to deliver a much needed
swing state and they must stand opposite
VP Joe Biden on stage, in debate, and ap-
pear convincingly vice presidential while
effectively on the attack?
Intrade.com, The Worlds Leading Pre-
diction Market, lists former Minnesota
Gov. Tim Pawlenty as the frontrunner for
Romneys favor. Sen. Rob Portman (Ohio)
runs a close second with Florida Sen. Mar-
co Rubio a distant third.
Further behind are governors Chris Chris-
tie (N.J.), Bob McDonnell (Va.), Sen. John
Thune (S.D.) and Rep. Paul Ryan (Wis.).
Pawlenty ran a weak presidential cam-
paign this year losing the important straw
poll in neighboring Iowa and pulling the
plug before the first primary vote was cast.
Portman was director of the Office of Man-
agement and Budget (OMB) under Presi-
dent George W. Bush.
Ryan, 42, proposes ripping Medicare,
Rubio is only 41, Christie would upstage the
nominee, McDonnell botched a series of
womens health issues and Thune, at 6 feet
4 inches, is taller than Mitt.
My choice to bolster the republican ticket
isnt even among the Intrade top 20 but
Romney would do well to pick him.
He is the unpopular governor of an im-
portant swing state, a blue-collar kid born
in McKees Rocks, PA just outside Pitts-
burgh, the son of a clerk and a Pennsylvania
mailman.
My pick attended Ohio State University
in the Big Ten Conference while Portman
matriculated to Dartmouth not far from Ivy
League rival Harvard, where Romney
earned his law degree.
John Kasich remained in Columbus after
graduation and was elected to the Ohio
state senate in 1978 at the age of 26. Elected
to congress in 1982, he served 18 years
(1983-2001), rising to become chairman of
the House Budget Committee.
Kasich, of Czechoslovakian and Croatian
ancestry, lost his parents in 1987 when they
were killed by a drunk driver.
He went on to be elected governor of the
Buckeye state in 2010 and is a knowledge-
able and passionate authority on a variety of
policy issues foreign and domestic. Un-
questionably qualified to be president, Kas-
ich can debate anyone.
Gov. Kasich of Ohio has many attributes
Romney lacks. He adds to the republican
ticket rather than merely completing it.
Who will it be? You tell me,
kblaum@timesleader.com
Correctly name the VP nominee of the
Republican Party before it leaks and you
may win the highly coveted In the Arena
Vice Presidential Brass Spittoon. To break
the many anticipated ties include your best
guess as to the date and time of Romneys
announcement.
Four years ago not one In the Arena
reader presaged that Alaska Gov. Sarah
Palin and Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware would
be the Republican and Democratic nominee
for Vice President of the United States.
Many got Biden right but, well, you
know.
Who will be the nominee for U.S. veep? You tell me.

ORDID AND seamy?
Certainly.
Depressing?
On more levels than
most care to ever encounter.
Finally done?
Sadly, never.
Before the jury went intode-
liberations in the Jerry Sand-
usky trial before proceedings
began, infact this case raised
difficult questions society too
often prefers not to contem-
plate, questions not really im-
pacted by this verdict, ques-
tions about our social efforts
in the arena of child abuse.
First andforemost, dowe do
enough for victims?
Second and almost as im-
portant, are we properly fo-
cused and trained as a society
for detection and prevention?
Is such focus unwavering
and consistent, or do we col-
lectively shunt childabuse toa
back burner until high profile
cases such as the Sandusky ac-
cusations spark our outrage?
When such cases do
emerge, do we let the light of
the legends involved the fir-
ing of Joe Paterno and the fate
of his former genius defensive
coach, inthis case distract us
from the core issue of child
abuse?
Do we do enough to protect
the rights of the accused, or
rush enraged to judgment be-
fore a jury is even chosen?
Do other egregious cases
get overshadowedby celebrity
trials? How many abuse cases
went unreported while we fix-
ated on Jerry Sandusky?
Inaneraof sweepingbudget
cuts at local, stateandnational
levels, are we shortchanging
social programs vital to the
protection of children?
Child abuse evokes univer-
sal outrage, yet seems inces-
santly pushed to the shadows
of public policy. Perhaps it is
so heinous that we prefer not
to think on it. But we must.
It is not a problemthat goes
away with the Sandusky out-
come.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
B
YAN8-0vote, the Su-
preme Court proper-
ly overturned sanc-
tions against two tel-
evision networks for broad-
casting indecent content at
a time when children might
have been watching. But una-
nimity may have come at the
cost of clarity.
Insteadof deciding whether
the Federal Communication
Commissions prohibition of
nudity and fleeting exple-
tives between 6 a.m. and 10
p.m. violated broadcasters
First Amendment rights, the
justices ruled only that the
agency failed to provide Fox
and ABC with fair warning
that suchprogrammingwould
be judged unacceptable.
Tuesdays decision involved
three programs: The 2002 and
2003 Billboard Music Awards
on Fox and a 2003 episode of
ABCs NYPD Blue. At the
awards, Cher uttered the F-
word and Nicole Richie used
a variation. The offending
NYPDBlue program, as Jus-
tice Anthony M. Kennedy put
it, showed the nude buttocks
of an adult female character
for approximately seven sec-
onds. Fox was cited for inde-
cency but wasnt fined. The 45
stations that aired the NYPD
Blue episode were each fined
$27,500.
The U.S. 2nd Circuit Court
of Appeals ruled for the net-
works on broad First Amend-
ment grounds, concluding
that the FCCS indecency
rules were so vague andincon-
sistently applied that they de-
terred a vast amount of pro-
tected speech. The Supreme
Court could have reached the
same conclusion. Even more
ambitiously, it couldhave revi-
sited the 1978 ruling in which
it upheld sanctions against a
radio station that aired the
late George Carlins famous
Filthy Words monologue.
That opinion stressed that
broadcasting deserves less
First Amendment protection
than other forms of communi-
cation because it is uniquely
pervasive and uniquely ac-
cessible to children.
In their brief, Foxs lawyers
noted that this observation
has been rendered obsolete by
cable and satellite TV, the In-
ternet, video games and other
media. Also, the lawyers
noted, technology unheard of
in 1978 now allows parents to
block programming they be-
lieve is inappropriate.
Instead of ruling broadly,
the court held that Fox and
ABC werent given fair notice
because their programs aired
before the FCC had adopted
its strict prohibition on fleet-
ing expletives and nudity.
Sometimes its wise for the
court to rule narrowly, and in
this case there may have been
a reason for the court to side-
step the First Amendment is-
sue. Still, the constitutionality
of vague indecency rules is
likely to return to the court
unless the FCCacts on Kenne-
dys comment that the courts
ruling leaves the commission
free to modify its current inde-
cency policy. Thats a hint the
commission should take.

Lets hear it for
Yankee-Pennamites
T
here are few identifiable
institutions especially
recognized outside the
area that belong to the
Scranton-Wilkes-Barre/North-
eastern Pennsylvania region.
Issues of identity play out
through our minor league
sports teams. What should we
call this area? Where is it
centered? To what extent is it
one region? What about this
region do we want to celebrate
as the symbol to represent our
community?
Perhaps the most persistent
issue is geographic associ-
ation; is our community more
associated with Philadelphia
to the south, the rest of Penn-
sylvania to the west, or the
greater New York City area to
the east? When our region
switched from the Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre Red Barons to
the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
Yankees, it was important not
just in terms of sports but for
geopolitical identity. This is
not the first time the area has
been disputed. In the early
colonial period several Eu-
ropean powers laid claim to
vast portions of interior terri-
tory. After the British secured
their claims at the expense of
the Dutch, Swedish, and
French, the Wyoming Valley
was included in both the colo-
ny of Connecticut and the
royal grant to William Penn.
Connecticut settled its
dispute with New York but
held that its territory contin-
ued in what is now northern
Pennsylvania. The British
Crown ruled against Penn-
sylvania on the grounds that
Connecticuts charter was
older and settlers from Con-
necticut founded the town of
Wilkes-Barre in 1769. Conflict
between settlers from south-
eastern Pennsylvania, known
as Pennamites, and Connecti-
cut, known as Yankees, contin-
ued through the American
Revolution. The Continental
Congress overturned the
Kings ruling in 1782 but that
merely resulted in another
outbreak of conflict.
The Yankee-Pennamite War
finally ended in 1799 when the
Wyoming Valley became part
of Pennsylvania and the state
legislature upheld the land
titles of Yankee settlers.
I think the best name for the
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre minor
league baseball team is the
Yankee-Pennamites (or Penna-
mite-Yankees) as a tribute to
our areas history and conflict-
ed baseball allegiances.
This name has many ad-
vantages: It is unique to our
region and its history in a way
that the Red Barons, Empire
State Yankees, and Penguins
are not. It keeps the identi-
fiable association with the
New York Yankees brand
while also recognizing a dis-
tinct regional identity. More
people might know about the
Yankee-Pennamite War if it
was the name of our baseball
team. It references the contin-
ual battle for influence be-
tween New York and Philadel-
phia in our area .
Pennamites can be short-
ened to Pens so we can use
the same Lets Go Pens!
chants and signs for hockey.
If, like me, you think that
The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
Yankee-Pennamites has a too
many hyphens, let me suggest
just The Wyoming Yankee-
Pennamites.
Wyoming is the original
name of the area. Meaning
roughly At the Big River
Flats, it derived from the
name used by the Munsee
Indians of modern New Jersey
for valley.
The state of Wyoming co-
pied the name because they
liked how it sounded.
Branding our area as the
original Wyoming makes
historical sense and is a lot
catchier than North East
Pennsylvania, Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre or the other
Native American name for the
valley, Scahentowanen. (If we
wanted to go with this name,
we could call the team the
Scahentowanen Scahentoar-
rhonons).

Bamberas views
backed by writer
I
n his lengthy letter critical
of Bishop Joseph Bamberas
belief that marriage is a
union of a man and a woman,
Jack Anderson cites vice presi-
dent Joseph Biden, among
others, as supporting same-
sex marriage. Biden also backs
abortion rights. On these two
issues Biden turns his back on
the teachings of the Catholic
Church.
Since I am in total agree-
ment with Bishop Bambera on
those topics, I do not belong
to the so-called enlightened
people Anderson claims are
with Biden regarding same-
sex marriage.
Anderson also states that
the position of the Catholic
Church on marriage is rooted
in ignorance, bigotry and
homophobia. The obnoxious
Bill Maher would be proud of
Anderson since his views are
identical with Mahers.
Again, I wish to congrat-
ulate Bishop Bambera for
stating the position that I and
many more unenlightened
peasants hold that marriage is
between one man and one
woman.

U.S. rail system
merits upgrades
M
ostly kudos to Mark
Guydish for his piece
titled, Romney should
talk to the real people who use
Amtrak. My only negative is
that it was a bit more political
than needed. Republicans do
not like to spend money on
social projects and Democrats
like to spend money on any-
thing that gives them credit
for being the good guys,
though the spending may be
fiscally irresponsible. Rom-
neys reaction to rail is reflex-
ive and he may never have had
the need to take a train. That
does not rule him out as a
good presidential choice.
However, he and the GOP
need a wake-up call on what is
best for America in this in-
stance.
The GOP has been against
subsidized passenger rail for
many years. Yet, there is not
enough money in the treasury
to build all of the highways
necessary for the northeast
corridor alone. Republicans
like to nail Amtrak for the $30
billion in subsidies spent over
its first 30 years, but in that
same period the federal gov-
ernment spent $1.89 trillion
on air and highway infrastruc-
ture, according to the New
York Times and Washington
Post.
I just finished writing a
book titled Take the Train to
Myrtle Beach. This past
weekend, I got back from an
Amtrak train ride to Myrtle
Beach. It was a great experi-
ence. It could have been better
if the subsidies were enough
to help Amtrak keep improv-
ing the system. I spent three
weeks a few years back on a
Eurorail pass and found out
how far behind the U.S. is in
passenger rail transportation.
The Europeans invest well
over $100 billion per year in
their transportation infrastruc-
ture. The fact is that no pas-
senger rail service in the
world is without subsidies.
Instead of decreasing sub-
sidies, the U.S. government
needs to make Amtrak into a
first-class system and a world
leader in passenger rail.
Europeans find great value
in rail transportation. It is
worth noting that the Chinese
have allocated $292 billion for
their cross country high speed
rail systems to be completed
by 2020. The Russians have
recently picked up on the idea
and allocated $390 billion for
improvements in their system
by 2030. Meanwhile, in the
United States, our short-sight-
ed Congress is quibbling
about a $1 billion or so sub-
sidy for Amtrak. Small people
always get small results.
Just one more set of facts. If
the United States were to
build a high speed rail line
between Washington D.C. and
San Francisco, using the Eu-
ropean high speed miles per
hour (150 mph) spec, we
could take a train cross coun-
try in 16 hours versus 80 hours
today. If we used the French
definition (173 mph) and built
the track and the rolling stock
to that spec, it would be just
14 hours by train to go coast
to coast. Wow!
Trains are great and roomy
with no TSA hassle or full
body scans, and no fill-ups
every 300 miles. The view is
great; the sleepers are great;
the experience is one of a
kind. It is time to stop quib-
bling, put up the money, and
join the rest of the world.

WITH RE-
SPECT to the
notion that I
can just sus-
pend deporta-
tions [of im-
migrants
brought here
illegally as children] through
executive order, thats just not
the case, because there are
laws on the books that Con-
gress has passed.
-- President Obama, March
28, 2011
Those laws remain on the
books. They have not changed.
Yet Obama last week suspend-
ed these very deportations
granting infinitely renewable
deferred action with attend-
ant work permits thereby
unilaterally rewriting the law.
And doing precisely what he
himself admits he is barred
from doing.
Obama had tried to change
the law. In late 2010, he asked
Congress to pass the DREAM
Act, which offered a path to
citizenship for hundreds of
thousands of young illegal
immigrants. Congress refused.
When subsequently pressed
by Hispanic groups to simply
implement the law by exec-
utive action, Obama explained
that it would be illegal. Now, I
know some people want me to
bypass Congress and change
the laws on my own. ... But
thats not how our system
works. Thats not how our
democracy functions. Thats
not how our Constitution is
written.
That was then. Now hes
gone and done it anyway. Its
obvious why. The election
approaches and his margin is
slipping. He needs a big His-
panic vote and this is the per-
fect pander. After all, who will
call him on it? A supine press?
Congressional Democrats?
Nothing like an upcoming
election to temper their Bush
43-era zeal for defending Con-
gress exclusive Article I power
to legislate.
With a single Homeland
Security Department memo,
the immigration laws no longer
apply to 800,000 people. By
what justification? Prosecu-
torial discretion, says Janet
Napolitano.
This is utter nonsense. Pros-
ecutorial discretion is the ap-
plication on a case-by-case
basis of considerations of ex-
treme and extenuating circum-
stances. No one is going to
deport, say, a 29-year-old illegal
immigrant whose parents had
just died in some ghastly acci-
dent and who is the sole sup-
port for a disabled younger
sister and ailing granny. Thats
what prosecutorial discretion
is for. The Napolitano memo is
nothing of the sort. Its the
unilateral creation of a new
category of persons -- a class of
800,000 -- who, regardless of
individual circumstance, are
hereby exempt from current
law so long as they meet cer-
tain biographic criteria.
This is not discretion. This is
a fundamental rewriting of the
law.
Imagine: A Republican presi-
dent submits to Congress a bill
abolishing the capital gains
tax. Congress rejects it. The
president then orders the IRS
to stop collecting capital gains
taxes, and declares that anyone
refusing to pay them will suffer
no fine, no penalty, no sanction
whatsoever. (Analogy first
suggested by law professor
John Yoo.)
It would be a scandal, a
constitutional crisis, a cause
for impeachment. Why? Be-
cause unlike, for example, war
powers, this is not an area of
perpetual executive-legislative
territorial contention. Nor is
cap-gains, like the judicial
status of unlawful enemy com-
batants, an area where the law
is silent or ambiguous. Capital
gains is straightforward tax
law. Just as Obamas bombshell
amnesty-by-fiat is a subversion
of straightforward immigration
law.
It is shameful that Congres-
sional Democrats should be
applauding such a brazen end-
run. Of course its smart poli-
tics. It divides Republicans,
rallies the Hispanic vote and
pre-empts Marco Rubios at-
tempt to hammer out an ac-
ceptable legislative compro-
mise. Very clever. But, by Oba-
mas own admission, it is naked
lawlessness.
Whatever our honest and
honorable disagreements about
the policy, what holds us to-
gether is a shared allegiance to
our constitutional order. Thats
the fundamental issue here. As
Obama himself argued in re-
jecting the executive action he
has now undertaken, America
is a nation of laws, which
means I, as the president, am
obligated to enforce the law. I
dont have a choice about that.
Except, apparently, when
violating that solemn obliga-
tion serves his re-election
needs.

ANOTHER VIEW
A photograph by Aimee Dilger
and words by Mark Guydish
DID YOU ever
think we
would see the
day when a
group of Ca-
tholic nuns
would take to
the highways
to warn us about the destruc-
tion of America?
Well, perhaps thats over-
stated, or perhaps its overdue.
You decide.
The Nuns On A Bus tour,
headed by Sister Simone
Campbell, is crossing America
to protest cuts in programs for
poor and working families in
the federal budget that was
passed this year in the House
of Representatives. The GOP
budget was proposed by Rep.
Paul Ryan, is endorsed by Mitt
Romney, and would put an end
to many of the programs at
which the sisters work. Ryan
has cited his Catholic faith to
justify the cuts.
For the record, I was raised
Catholic and influenced greatly
by nuns and priests. My grand-
mother lived next door to the
Mount Carmel convent in Pitt-
ston. There were more habits
in my early life than there are
now.
Later, my moral compass
took a turn from an influential
priest, my 9th grade Algebra
teacher, Father Keenan, a Je-
suit and WWII combat veteran.
So I guess you could say I am
partial to the Jesuit mindset of
academic pursuit and reliance
on empirical evidence, but
morally I come down on the
side of people such as Sister
Campbell.
The cuts proposed by Ryan
and supported by the 2010
wave of Republican Teavange-
lists are cruel. They would
end Medicare and shred every
social program. Millions of
people would go hungry.
Its not what Jesus would
do, says Campbell.
People like Ryan have it
backwards, she says. They are
out of touch with the prob-
lems facing Americans today.
We have to have each others
backs and put ourselves in
relationship with those who
struggle.
Of course, the politics of the
bus tour go deeper. The sisters
are acting in response to a
blistering critique of American
nuns released in April by the
Vaticans doctrinal office that
said that American nuns are
being outspoken.
Really, boys? Why? Because
they do the tough work and
dont drone on about abortion
and gay marriage like you and
the Teavangelicals? Why
dont you just allow women to
become priests? All your PR
problems will be solved.
The U.S. Conference of Ca-
tholic Bishops contrived a
controversy over contraception
this winter, mainly to pick a
fight with the Obama adminis-
tration. Despite 98 percent of
Catholic women saying they
have used contraception, the
bishops, in goose step with
Republicans in Congress,
charged that Obama was taking
away religious freedom by
making contraception part of a
womans health care coverage.
A more chauvinist argument
has not been heard since the
last time a Saudi Mullah ex-
plained why it is against Gods
will to let a woman drive a car.
The Nuns On A Bus tour is
a departure from the message
of the Catholic hierarchy we
have grudgingly become accus-
tomed to for the past 50 years.
Since the assassination of JFK,
the only Catholic president, the
Conference of Bishops, started
in 1966, has essentially been a
Republican lobby.
I remember covering Ger-
aldine Ferraros visit to Scran-
ton in 1984. Bishop James
Timlin held a press conference
to oppose her candidacy. With
the dozens of national candi-
dates who come through the
region, why would the church
pick one, a Catholic woman, to
oppose publicly?
Of course, the bishops would
say that a Catholic should be
pro life on the issue of abor-
tion, when, in reality, like their
Teavangelical brethren, they
use abortion as a political bat-
tering ram to destroy liberals.
Were doing this because
these are life issues, said Sis-
ter Campbell. All we want is
reasonable revenue for respon-
sible programs.
To be fair, Sister Campbell
makes sure to tell everyone
that the bishops have also
called the Ryan budget immor-
al. Maybe the guys are finally
coming around.
And one more thing: Thanks,
sisters, for reminding me what
it is to be a Catholic. My grand-
mother would love you.

JOHN WATSON
C O M M E N T A R Y
John Watson is the former editor of
the Sunday Dispatch in Pittston. He
lives in Seattle.
MY FIRST
foray into news-
papering ended
40 years ago
Saturday when
the loyal cus-
tomer base of
my delivery route in Kingston
fled to the hills. In the middle of
the night, fire trucks and police
cars cruised through Wyoming
Valley streets announcing on
loudspeakers that residents
should evacuate. The rain-swol-
len Susquehanna River was
threatening and people were
strongly encouraged to get to
higher ground.
For this Wilkes-Barre Record
carrier, the loss of revenue was
less important than the loss of
the privilege to work and the
freedom to wander the streets
in the early morning. At age 14 I
was blissfully unaware of the
gravity of imminent events.
I was not alone.
At the time of evacuation,
there was disbelief among many
that the river would flood the
valley. There had been devas-
tating floods in 1936 and 1940 so
a levee system was constructed
in the 1950s and the valley hadnt
been flooded since. Which prob-
ably seemed like forever to my
father and others of his gener-
ation who had lived through the
earlier disasters.
Well, to paraphrase, those who
ignore history sooner or later are
doomed to clean up after it.
On June 23, 1972, the river
flooded the valley, just as it had
done before. The flood waters
receded as they always do but
the near-complete damage was
done to everything it touched.
My paper route was gone, our
things were gone, our neigh-
borhood, our routine, our life as
we knew it gone, gone, gone.
We managed to return to our
home before the general all-clear.
My father, who was not to be
denied, drove in. Having inher-
ited some of that not-to-be-de-
nied I borrowed a bicycle and
road from Dallas, sidestepped
National Guard checkpoints and
headed down familiar alleys and
lanes. The way was nearly im-
passable because thick, slick
mud covered the roads. Bike tires
bogged down: I slogged to our
house. The destruction was
everywhere. Everything touched
by the flood water was de-
stroyed. Appliances, furniture,
carpeting, food, clothes, drapes.
For the first few days, getting
help was impossible; helping
yourself was difficult. Power
wasnt restored. Tools and clean-
ing supplies were hard to come
by. Soon, tree lawns and side-
walks were huge mounds of
detritus for the landfill. Think of
everything in your home, cover it
with mud, then pile it on the
street and cry your goodbyes.
Oh, and what had been stored
in the refrigerator and freezer
spoils quickly in the heat of
Pennsylvania summers.
In those first few days I used a
crowbar to bash apart the sodden
wall of shelves in our basement.
My father had built them from
heavy wooden crates recycled
from shipments that arrived for
his home-based business, The
Staplehouse. Everything familiar
to our home was removed, from
living room to kitchen.
It was in that kitchen in the
months before the flood that I
would stumble to the start of
morning deliveries. My father
would already be there and wed
sit listening to old music on
some AM station and the corny
commercials for Harry Hollacks
Trucksville Pharmacy. Bundles of
papers were waiting at Hedge
Place and Wyoming Avenue but
wed talk a little first.
I didnt realize it then but hed
been through a lot. My dad was
one of eight siblings; growing up
the boys bunked in an unheated
attic in the sturdy home my
grandfather an immigrant from
Poland built in Kingston. Dad
was a well-regarded tight end for
a Kingston High School confer-
ence championship team, veter-
an of 35 combat missions in
World II and then Korea. My
parents eventually settled back in
their own home in Kingston.
Even though both of their fam-
ilies experienced those floods in
1936 and 1940.My father wasnt
the same in those days after the
flood of 1972. I knew what had
happened but only after years did
I comprehend.
In the few years prior to 1972,
his father, close brother and wife
had died.
Now the flood had destroyed
his home and business. And
then, on July 7, he died too.
I guess if there hadnt been a
flood, heart disease would have
caught up with him some other
day. But in my mind his death is
intertwined with the flood clea-
nup.
Such is the gravity of immi-
nent events.
My family managed to stay
together. By July 1972 I had a job
with a local construction compa-
ny that had a contract cleaning
out the Forty Fort Cemetery. We
worked hard, gathering grave
markers and other things, cutting
up the huge trees that had been
uprooted. Life sort of stumbled
forward, thanks to good fortune
and family.
And now, 40 years later, three
of the six siblings in my family
live in Kingston. We all sweat out
the high-water events.
My wife Carole and I have
talked of living elsewhere but
circumstance has kept us here.
We live a very short distance
from the home I lived in during
the Agnes flood. Our home is the
family home of my wife which
was on my Wilkes-Barre Record
delivery route. (Caroles father
stayed behind in Agnes with the
family dog, some bananas and
whiskey. He took photos of the
floodwater outside. He walked
out in fishing waders. Another of
the generation not-to-be-denied.).
Now, when I walk the dog at
night I nod to the porches of my
paper route customers. They are
nice homes but I remember
when the tree lawns were piles of
ruins.
September, 2011, was sobering
for sure. I never thought Id see
the river rise to 42.66 feet. But
the levee worked. And since it
was created, the Susquehanna
has flooded the area it protects
just once.
I believe that as surely as the
Susquehanna River water is
muddy, the Wyoming Valley will
be flooded again. I do not know
when; I hope well beyond my
time. But disaster happens when
and where it wants to happen.
We have little say.
Knowing all this I had no
response to the woman giving us
the local tour while we were on
vacation recently. Why would
anyone live in a flood plain? she
asked.
This from a woman who lives
on an island in the path of North
Atlantic hurricanes.
I didnt think of the simple
answer until we returned.
Why do we live here?
Its home.
The river may have its way, but we will not be denied our home

the two buildings, a connecting
bridge was added. It was an awk-
ward makeshift, and to compen-
sate for the different story
heights between the buildings, at
one end was a steep stair. I have a
vivid memory of bustling crowds
in this bottleneck in the rush be-
tween classes.
But somehow, when I see a
photograph of the building, I find
myself looking at the first story
room to the lower left, where
Mrs. Dorothy Cuneo taught Ger-
man II. Mary Ellen Novick and
Rebecca Clime were in that class.
I can remember the dresses they
wore, their color, their length
(short). For some reason, I cant
remember any of the male stu-
dents in that class.
This building, alas, was torn
down immediately after the
flood, along with its peculiar
lunchroom/study hall/auditori-
um on the second story. Let it
hereby be entered in the histori-
cal record that the last theatrical
performance ever held in the 48-
year lifespan of the building took
place on June1and 2, 1972, when
Diane Polachek performed in the
cowboy adaptation of The Tam-
ing of the Shrew called Rowdy
Kate. I remember howthe direc-
tor, Bob Graham, introduced the
musical withthe corny joke, play-
ing on Wyoming Valley Wests
musical of that year: you should
expect a kind of Fiddler on the
Hoof.
But on June13, the high school

looked like moving day in some-
ones house. The halls were
stacked with boxes and furniture
to be moved out for use in the
new elementary school building.
The lights were turned off, which
gave the halls a kind of gentle
dimness, but it was an unusually
clear afternoon, and the class-
rooms were unexpectedly bright.
Everywhere were signs of ne-
glect, plaster peeling off the ma-
sonry walls.
Once they decided to build the
new centralized elementary
school, they stopped repairing
the building. Even after the roof
started leaking. Its the old psy-
chological scam that all institu-
tions pull when they want to de-
molish a beloved landmark.
Were going to tear it down; its
an eyesore. But its not an eye-
sore. OK, give us five years
then, and it will be.
And yet even now, neglected
and battered, the building is
about as rickety as the great pyra-
mid of Cheops. It wouldnt take
that much effort to make it ser-
viceable. I ask myself how long
the replacement building will
last. One generation? Surely not
two.
With these melancholy
thoughts I moved down the hall
to the right, struck by howgener-
ously wide it was. At the end was
the door to my homeroom, but
just as I crossed the threshold, I
realized it wasnt my homeroom
at all. This was Dan Loefflads
homeroom, next to mine, and I
dropped in to see him every
morning until the bell rang. The
homeroomwas run by Mr. Verba-
lis, who lacked what you might
call the gift of crowd control. His
deskwas directlybehindthedoor
to the room, and I have a clear
memory of one of his thuggish
students who grabbed some sort
of woodenmodel (a ship? a scien-
tific model?) and shoved it half-
way into one of the desk drawers,
giggling wildly as he smashed
the door on it again and again,
shattering it to pieces.
I went to the end of the hall,
and upstairs. There at the end of
the hall was the classroom of
Danny Thomas, who for one se-
mester taught us civics and for
the next Pennsylvania state histo-
ry. He was a World War II veteran
and wore a hearing aid, and even
before the class beganI hadheard
odd rumors of him being wound-
ed in the war, of being mentally
unhinged, andsoforth. Infact, he
turnedout to be a manof unusual
kindness and sympathy.
I stood at the door, a little sur-
prised at how big the classroom
was, thinking again how well
they planned buildings a century
ago. And then I remembered the
ordeal of running to my next
class. When I left Mr. Thomass
room, at the extreme right end of
the original building, I had pre-
cisely two minutes to get to Mrs.
Wertmans typing class at the ex-
treme left end of the new build-
ing. It was never enough, and the
bell was invariably ringing as I
made my way across the foot-
bridge. Mrs. Wertman, as she ex-
plained it to us, had no humor
about lateness (nor about any-
thing else. A single letter of the
alphabet that showed a correc-
tion by an overstrike meant fail-
ure for that assignment. I can see
her holding the coarse yellowpa-
per uptothe light, lookingfor the
fatal signs of erasure.) At last I
had to get a note certifying that I
would be a minute late coming to
class.
Oddly enough, my most vivid

impressions June 13 concerned
our last week of classes, 40 years
ago. If a radio was playing some-
where, it would be Sylvias
Mother by Dr. Hook, or Doctor
My Eyes by Jackson Browne, or
that new song from Godspell,
Day by Day. I can see Mr. An-
thony Kutzer walking into
speech class, sniffing curiously at
the air, which still bears the trac-
es of the smoke bombthat Robert
Slusser set off a minute or two
earlier. And there is Judy Swain-
bank, signing my petition to run
for student council president.
And George Ontko, planning for
us to play along with the Bobby
Fischer-Boris Spassky world
chess championship next month,
not knowing that wed be shovel-
ing mud.
Its as if things were picking up
just were they left off, that inside
Plymouth High School it is still
June 1972, and that the buses
have driven off and the building
has just been emptied for the
summer.
And somehow it was fitting
that my walk through Plymouth
High School more or less repeat-
ed my school day of 1971/1972. It
always ended with ninth grade
English class, on the top floor of
the new building, where Betsy
Bienick presided. She was young
and enthusiastic, that highly at-
tractive Gidget type of teacher
that we so ardently yearned for
those years. Sometimes we were
wrong about this, and it was
sometimes the wounded combat
veteran who would prove to have
the most youthful soul, but we
werent wrong about Mrs. Bien-
ick. She charmed us, cajoled us,
stomped her feet, laughed at and
with us, and the good will and
love poured over us like syrup.
But there was something frail
and tragic about her, and I re-
member how it all came rushing
out in a torrent one afternoon.
This was period eight, the last
class of the day, and one day
someone moaned that they
couldnt wait till class ended. I
dont know who this was per-
haps Jackie Gerstein? but I
certainly remember the response
from Mrs. Bienick. I can remem-
ber it word for word:
Dont wish for the class to end.
Dont ever wish for the class to
end. Thats what you do, you
think just let me get through the
school day, and then everything
will be alright. But then theres
another day of school, and you
think just let me get through to
the weekend. And then the
weekend comes and goes, and
you start thinking how you cant
wait till summer vacation. But
that ends, too. And then you
think, once I graduate fromhigh
school, then Ill be where I want
to be. Then things will be good.
But it never happens. All youre
doing is wishing your life away, a
day at a time. Whatever you do,
dont wish your life away.
So it was in 2012 I stood in that

silent classroom for a long time
before making my way back
downstairs and out into a clear
mild day in Plymouth.
SCHOOL
Continued from Page 1E
Plymouth High School, above,
opened in 1913. At right, shows
an addition added.
In 1924, a new high school was constructed to the left (south) of the original school. A bridge con-
nected the two buildings. This newer building was razed following the flooding of 1972.
I can see Mr. Anthony Kutzer walking into speech class,
sniffing curiously at the air, which still bears the traces of
the smoke bomb that Robert Slusser set off a minute or two
earlier. And there is Judy Swainbank, signing my petition to
run for student council president. And George Ontko,

equality through access to
health. Until Mrs. Bush
ventured forth on their be-
half, 80 percent of women
with breast cancer in the
Middle East died. Now that
number is lower.
Doesnt this qualify as
helping women?
Bush also has been in-
strumental in helping wom-
en advance in Afghanistan
through education and pro-
fessional training programs
she shepherds through the
Bush Institute. If thats not
enough, consider how for
the past
several
years, she
has used her
voice to
champion
the plight of
Burmas
Aung San
Suu Kyi,
who recent-
ly claimed
the Nobel
Peace Prize
she won 21
years ago
while under
house arrest
for her hu-
man rights
activism.
Whats missing from these
accomplishments, of course,
is any mention of abortion
or free contraception, the
key components of feminist
catechism. Perhaps these
omissions are what dis-
qualify Bush from consid-
eration in the clouded vi-
sion of some.
Reproductive freedom is
surely important, but first
one has to be alive free
to speak ones conscience,
protected from the killing
fields of the Taliban, and
rescued from a disease that
ravaged women who were
never treated as fully hu-
man.
These are the battles Lau-
ra Bush has chosen to fight,
no less important than any
other and worthy of a
Nobel of her own.

Although few of the subjects photo-

fer lessons in confidence and style that
women of all ages will appreciate, which
is exactly why Ari Seth Cohen started
Advanced Style, the blog that inspired
the book.
Among the stylish figures in the book
is the elegant and refined Rose, age 100,
pictured in a paisley caftan, Hermes belt
and oversized beads. Her credo? If ev-
eryone is wearingit, thenits not for me.
Alice, posing in a mens tweed jacket,
jodhpurs, boots, fingerless gloves and a
silk scarf, says, Fie on women in sneak-
ers and sweats.
Then theres Debra, in electric-blue
sunglasses and brocade pants, who ap-
proaches getting dressed like an art pro-
ject and says, Tomorrow is another day
and another look.
Cohencombs thecitylookingfor elder
style on the street. Its fun to hang out
outside the Carlysle Hotel, he says,
which is where he snapped a photo of ac-
tress Elaine Stritch wearing one of her
signature menswear-inspiredlooks. But
I dont spend too much time on the Up-
per East Side because a lot of the women
there have had a lot of plastic surgery.
Advanced Style is about embracing
ones age, not fighting it, he says. In so-
ciety, women are told to back down from
fashion as they get older, and they be-
come invisible. I got an email from one
womanwhosaidher grandkids were em-
barrassed by the way she dresses. She
showedthemmy blog, andthey changed
their minds.
He has learned that there really is no
such thing as age-appropriate dressing.
The book contains its fair share of tradi-
tional houndstooth suits, silk scarves
and sensible shoes, but it also has wom-
en in artsy hats and colorful turbans.
Some womenthinkfashionshouldbe
more proper, others dont care at all. If
someone is comfortable and confident,
thats what matters, Cohen says. I like
to have a mix of eccentric and elegant in
the blog and book, because Imattracted
to both extremes.

o many, the mu-
sic of Frank
Zappa is an ac-
quired taste.
Full of unex-
pected time changes, bi-
zarre lyrics and the shot-
gun marriages of different
genres, Zappas songs can
be difficult to compre-
hend.
But for passionate music
fans with a desire to ex-
plore the deepest corners
of rock and jazz, the late
composer and musicians
catalogue can yield many a treasure.
Its those gems that Zappas son Dwee-
zil Zappa will polish up at the F.M. Kirby
Center on Thursday evening, as his six-
piece Zappa Plays Zappa revue re-creates
some of his dads most adventurous
work.
I think his music is still yet to be fully
discovered, says Zappa,
the bands lead guitarist.
But for those who have
discovered it, its made a
difference in the way
they choose to listen to
music for a lifetime. He
had no boundaries. Hed
put any style with any
other style. If it sounded
good, that was it. He was
a classical composer us-
ing a rock band as his or-
chestra.
In many ways, Zappa,
who died of cancer in
1993 at age 52, was a modern-day Mo-
zart. Full of eccentric, expansive ideas,
he worked on the fringes of the musical
landscape.

HOROSCOPE
HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Maybe you started out
doing what you do to
impress people, but you
no longer care about that.
Youre much more inter-
ested in mastering the
skill for your own private
reasons, which no one else
possibly could understand.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Youre not very analytical
these days and will instead
drift to where your inner
compass guides you. By
doing the thing that makes
you happy, you put a smile
on someone elses face,
too.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Your faith is strong now,
and you can help others
by simply believing when
they dont. You have hope
for those who dont feel
hopeful. People you dont
even know will feel your
optimism now.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Youll care for others all
day long. By late after-
noon, your energy may be
depleted, so dont push it.
Resting is not the same as
doing nothing. Resting is
a productive part of your
work cycle.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
People do not set out to
disappoint you, but some-
times their self-interest
is diametrically opposed
to your own. Therefore,
its best to seek help only
from those who will be
helped by helping you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Your contribution to a
group dynamic will deter-
mine the effectiveness of
the group. When things
arent going the way youd
like, just offer something
different, and the dynamic
will change.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Your respectful treatment
of others doesnt always
come in a quiet, tolerant
package. Sometimes you
respect others enough to
let them see the emotional
impact their actions have
on you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
There will be many avail-
able options in which you
could invest your time. It
doesnt matter what you
do; what matters is that
you enjoy it enough to
expend the time and ener-
gy it takes to excel at it.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Your project is com-
ing along nicely, but
theres still something
missing: that personal
touch that only you can
give. Experiment with the
purpose of creating some-
thing unique.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Youre too busy
dreaming up ways to over-
deliver on your promises
to worry about merely
keeping up with them. The
sad truth is that no one
notices good. Thats why
youre going for greatness
today.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Some people actually
avoid introductions, afraid
of the judgment that
might come with human
contact. With this in mind,
youll be sensitive to the
vulnerability of others as
you try to meet everyone
you can.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Before you speak, theres
an inner filter working
overtime, asking you
whether what youre about
to say is necessary, sup-
portive and truthful. It
has to pass all three tests
before youll give it up.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (June
24). You learned right from
wrong years ago, but your
ability to live right has
new and exciting repercus-
sions this year. A personal
improvement you make in
July ripples through your
life and out into the world.
August sweetens your
relationship sector. Family
life gets closer, and youll
gladly support someone
dear to you. Aries and
Scorpio people adore you.
Your lucky numbers are: 7,
24, 14, 39 and 18.

Guests behavior irks
Fourth of July hostess
Dear Abby:
I have set the
guest list for
my Fourth of
July party. A
few people I
entertained
last year will not be invited
back this summer. Perhaps
theyll recognize themselves
when they read the following
list:
(1) You arrived empty-
handed.
(2) You arrived early and
stayed late.
(3) You never recipro-
cated. Its OK if you dont
entertain in your home, but
how about a restaurant, bar
or cafe?
(4) You complained about
what I served.
(5) You solicited advice
from other guests who are le-
gal or medical professionals.
No guest in my home should
have to work. (If you need a
doctor or a lawyer, make an
appointment!)
(6) You raided our liquor
cabinet without permission.

ting here.
Abby, thanks for the
forum.
San Francisco Hostess
Dear Hostess: Hmmm. So
you have been entertaining
a collection of complaining
moochers. I dont blame you
for paring down your guest
list. Im sure it will make
your Fourth of July parties
more enjoyable and less
stressful in the future.
Dear Abby: My mother-in-
law, Lisa, is 50 and mar-
ried to husband No. 5. Ill
call him Steve. He is 38.
(Lisas son is 31.)
The problem isnt the age
difference. Its the fact that
her husband refuses to hold
a steady job. Steve is often
between jobs for six to
eight months at a crack. Lisa
had a job with the same com-
pany for 28 years and has a
very nice income.
My husband and I are sick
of seeing Steve mooching off
his mom. He drives around
in a new truck, dresses well,
has a nice place to live and
anything else he wants all
at my mother-in-laws
expense.
Abby, she retired recently,
and Steve is spending her re-
tirement money faster than
its coming in. What can we
do to get rid of this bum?
Bummed Out in Georgia
Dear Bummed Out: There
is nothing you can do. After
five husbands, Lisa knows
what she wants. She wants a
companion and is willing to
pay the price. Its her money,
and she has a right to spend
it any way she wishes.
Dear Abby: My parents will
celebrate their 25th wedding
anniversary this summer.
I know this is a huge deal
for them, and Id like to do
something really nice.
I have been consider-
ing throwing them a party
because they were never
able to have a real wedding
reception. It would probably
include a guest list of about
150. However, because I am
a full-time college student,
my funds are limited.
I want to do something my
parents will like, but I dont
know how Ill pay for it.
What could I do that will be
nice, but not require me to
take out a loan?
Amy in Tennessee
Dear Amy: Under no cir-
cumstances should you take
out a loan in order to give
your parents an anniversary
party you cant afford. Fig-
ure out how many people
you CAN afford to entertain
within your budget or
just take your parents out
for a nice dinner. I am posi-
tive that whatever you do
for them they will deeply
appreciate.

Dear Abby: My parents will
celebrate their 25th wedding
anniversary this summer.
I know this is a huge deal
for them, and Id like to do
something really nice.
I have been consider-
ing throwing them a party
because they were never
able to have a real wedding
reception. It would probably
include a guest list of about
150. However, because I am
a full-time college student,
my funds are limited.
I want to do something my
parents will like, but I dont
know how Ill pay for it.
What could I do that will be
nice, but not require me to
take out a loan?
Amy in Tennessee
Dear Amy: Under no cir-
cumstances should you take
out a loan in order to give
your parents an anniversary
party you cant afford. Fig-
ure out how many people
you CAN afford to entertain
within your budget or
just take your parents out
for a nice dinner. I am posi-
tive that whatever you do
for them they will deeply
appreciate.

low Snow, from 1974s Apostrophe
album, and the 1982 Top 40 hit Val-
ley Girl, featuring Dweezils sister
Moon Unit on vocals, but the major-
ity of his music remains an un-
known commodity. And its those
under-the-radar tunes Zappa hopes
to introduce to fans on stage.
The majority of people are vastly
unfamiliar with the large amount of
music thats in Franks catalogue.
What they have heard songs that
may have accidentally made it to
the radio is not indicative of the
rest of the music, Zappa says. And
thats where the real challenge lies:
reconditioning or re-educating peo-
ple to the overall output of his mu-
sic. Somebody who has heard Dont
Eat the Yellow
Snow may
think they
know what
Frank Zappa
is all about,
but thats not
even scratch-
ing the sur-
face.
The musi-
cian, actor
and onetime
teen veejay
for MTV be-
lieves that dis-
enfranchised younger fans may be
especially drawn to his fathers
work.
I think a lot of kids that maybe
are looking for a different sound or
something that is unusual would re-
ally enjoy discovering some of the
things that are in Franks music. I
know from my own upbringing that
it was a very eye-opening experi-
ence, he says. By no means is it
nostalgic music. Its very contempo-
rary and ahead of its time.
Zappa performed the first Zappa
Plays Zappa shows in 2006, but the
work it took to launch such an in-
tricate tour began years before.
First, he had to form the band, se-
lect the songs, and, then most chal-
lenging, learn them. As he plainly
admits, it was no easy task.
It took months and months of
practice to get this stuff on its feet.
Its like training for the Olympics,
he says. And thats why it makes
such an impact in a live setting. (As
an audience member) you think,
how do they remember that? How
do they play it all together? How are
they having fun doing it? Because it
looks impossible. (The concert) is
designed to make them recognize
the thought that went into this.
Zappa will speed along that rec-
ognition by adding a new twist to
this tour. Throughout the night,
hell augment the show by sharing
stories about the songs and demon-
strating some musical examples. It
has a (VH1s) Storytellers ele-
ment, so itll be a fun and different
approach, even to the people
whove seen us in the past, he says.
The show will be fun, fast-paced
with a lot of things that people are
familiar with but also some oddball
surprises. It will turn into what
Frank referred to as his teenage
rocking combo.
Just dont expect to see the fa-
mously mustachioed Frank appear
as a hologram, like the late rapper
Tupac Shakur did during Aprils
Coachella Festival in California.
People ask about that all the
time. Its such a weird concept, but I
can see the appeal for younger gen-
erations who didnt get the opportu-
nity to see iconic entertainers.
Weve done that to an extent (in the
past) with a video presentation (of
Zappa). Its the equivalent of the ho-
logram, Zappa says, calling to
mind his dads own knack for mak-
ing musical predictions. Oddly
enough, in my dads book, (The
Real Frank Zappa Book), which
came out in the early 90s, he talks
about worldwide concerts that
would be broadcast in the sky as
giant holograms. Its funny to see
were not too far from that.
For sure, Frank would be amused.

IF YOU GO
A
family assembles at its country house for a me-
morial to a lost son. In the course of the long
weekend, old and new tensions between hus-
bands and wives, between parents and children,
and among siblings bubble to the surface.
It could be the plot of a Chekhov
play or a Woody Allen movie. But on
this classic narrative scaffolding,
Joshua Henkin develops a painfully
contemporary situation. The young-
est child and only son of the Frankel
family, Leo, was killed in Iraq on the
Fourth of July 2004 (on fictional as-
signment for Newsday, sad to say).
On the first anniversary of his death,
the family is gathering for the unveil-
ing of his tombstone.
At theservice, his sister Lily, aD.C.
lawyer, remembers a stray dog her
brother adopted when he was 12.
There was only one way you could
get Kingman to pay attention to
you, she says. If, for example, Clar-
issa and I were walking her and Clar-
issa had to leave, Kingman would
strain after Clarissa.
But thenif I was the
one who had to
leave, King-
man would strain after me. She
didnt want us to separate. Leo called
her the Togetherness Dog. And he
was like that, too. He was the Togeth-
erness Person.
The Frankels have definitely lost
their Togetherness Person. After a
year of rage expressed in editorials
against the war, 69-year-old mother
Marilyn is spent and adrift; she plans
to leave her husband, David, and an-
nounces it to the kids at their first
dinner together.
This dinner has already been ruin-
ed by the behavior of daughter No-
elle, now an Orthodox Jew living in
Israel. Arriving at the gathering with
her obnoxious husband and four
young sons in tow, she rejects the ko-
sher meal her parents have specially
prepared and passes out bagels
brought from home to her family. If
sister Lily hadnt already broken her
vow not to fight with Noelle, this
would certainly be the end of it.
Meanwhile, their older sister, Clar-
issa, is too obsessed by her infertility
problems tobe fully present, arriving
hours late because sudden ovulation
required her and her husband to visit
a roadside motel. Meanwhile, Leos
widow, who has come from Califor-
nia with his young son, Calder, is
moving on to a new relationship and
feels more out of place thanever with
this family of feisty, competitive ten-
nis and crossword mavens.
The skill with which Henkin ex-
plores the points of viewandperson-
ae of his ensemble cast is masterful.
From the aging, defeated patriarch
to the innocent 3-year-old (More
than once, hes been asked by some
unknowing soul where his father is,
towhichhe has responded, cheerful-
ly, Hes dead!), Henkin depicts
each in terms of their response to
loss, both its damage and its unfold-
ing trajectory. This was a central is-
sue in the authors well-received
Matrimony as well. Both novels
explore with subtlety and feeling
the meaning of family, both those
we are born with and those we
choose, those we leave behind and
those with whom we soldier on.

ANGSHUO, China A search for iconic China of-
tentakes tourists tothe Great Wall inthe northand
the archaeological pits of the terra-cotta warriors in
the nations midsection.
Butforaglimpseof Chinasnatural beauty, takethetripsouth
tothecityof Guilinandboardaboatforafour-hourcruisedown
the Li River to the picturesque city of Yangshuo, nestled amid
the limestone karst hills known as the gumdrop mountains.
Its a trip into rural China, past bamboo rafts, fishermen who use
trained cormorant birds to make
their catch and farmers tending
rice paddies with the help of water
buffalo.
The trip starts in Guilin, a pop-
ular and growing tourist destina-
tion, with new roads, hotels and
other buildings under construc-
tion.
One of the citys best attractions
isElephant TrunkParkonthewest
bank of the Li, named for its rock
formationthat withsomeimagina-
tion resembles an elephant drink-
ingfromtheriver. Onthetopof the
hill is a pagoda that dates to the
Ming dynasty.
The park is a popular spot for
youngcouples whostroll alongthe
river and add their padlocks or
wish ribbons, signifying lasting
love, to an ornamented tree. Ven-
dors set up along the riverside sell
some interesting
food, including
fried bugs on a
stick.
The govern-
ment is building a
canal that will al-
lowtourists totake
a boat and avoid
what is a bumpy
bus ride to another
popular spot, Reed
Flute Cave, one of
several limestone
caves inthe region.
This one features
colorful, if some-
what garish, light
displays on the stalactite and sta-
lagmite formations, as well as la-
sers that make designs on the
caves ceiling and a bubble ma-
chine.
But the real show is the undis-
turbed nature of the river and sur-
rounding hills.
The tour boats travel one way
from Guilin to Yangshuo in the
morning. A ticket will cost some-
where around 200 yuan, or about
$32, and usually includes lunch.
Most boats are air-conditioned,
and one of the three restrooms on
boardours includedawesterntoi-
let, for those averse to squatting.
The casual cruise includes pho-
to-worthysceneryaroundvirtually
everybendas theboat passes land-
marks such as Nine Horse Hill,
where those with a good eye can
find nine horses in the rock forma-
tions. (We were told former Presi-
dent Bill Clinton could only spot
three of them.) I found six.
The guide will have passengers
take out a 20-yuan note when they
approach the view of Apple Hill,
andcomparethescenerytothede-
piction on the back of the bill. Its
one of the most painted scenes in
Chinese art.
The guides note that the river
sceneschangewiththeweather, of-
fering beautiful reflections on sun-
ny days and mist-covered moun-
tains after a rain.
The boat passes by a scenic fish-
ing village, waterfalls, caves,
groves of bamboo and terraced
farms. Waterbuffalocanbeseenon
the riverbanks, and the tour boats
share the river with traditional
bamboo rafts (though some are
nowmade fromPVCpiping).
Lunch is nothing to write home
about, though
some of the boats
buy catches from
the fishermen who
pull up to them on
the river. Ours of-
feredtheusual noo-
dle and dumpling
dishes (thoughyou
could spend a little
extra and try the
turtle).
Passengers dis-
embark on Market
Street inYangshuo,
where the fisher-
men will try to get
you to pay to pose
with their cormorants. The street
is lined with vendors selling every-
thingfromreal fake Rolexwatch-
es, toT-shirts, silkscarvesandjade.
Every price is negotiable, and bar-
tering becomes a sport.
Bicycles or cabs canbe rentedin
town for a drive into the country-
side tothe local caves, hikingtrails
andricefarms, someof whichoffer
guided tours.
The farm we visited was run by
two elderly brothers who opened
their home and offered shots of
what they called medicine wine.
It was basically moonshine fer-
mented in a jar filled with snakes,
scorpions and other creepy craw-
lers. Tasty.
There is no boat back to Guilin,
which is about an hour away by
bus. But for those who choose to
stay in Yangshuo for the evening,
thereis theopportunitytotakeina
spectacular opera-style light and
music showput on by famous Chi-
nese director Zhang Yimou, the
man responsible for the opening
ceremony in the 2008 Beijing
Olympics.
The 90-minute show, Impres-
sions Liu Sanjie, is based on a fa-
mous movie about a local singer. It
includesmorethan600performers
andincorporatesstoriesandmusic
from four minority ethnic groups
in the region. It takes place out-
doors on a lake in a 3,000-seat am-
phitheater surroundedbythehills,
whichbecomethebackdropforthe
performance.
The show, much like the region,
leaves a lasting impression.
