Nathan Summerlin’s home is nearly surrounded by vacant lots acquired by Wilkes-Barre city, creating a hopeful yet uneasy sense about what will happen on them. The city has acquired 10 properties on Carey Avenue and in the 400 block of South River Street since Mayor Tom Leighton took office in January 2004. Leighton envisions a housing project on the city’s combined 1.76 acres, a smaller version of the Courtright Housing Development now under construction on the site of a former burnedout lace mill across town. The hold-up: funding. “We have a plan in place that will really restore the integrity of that neighborhood. Unfortunately, we can’t implement it until the economy turns around,” Leighton said.

Melana Khalife, who lives in the city’s Rolling Mill Hill section, praised the city for taking control of the former Sanitary Laundry site on Bradford and McLean streets, which was initiated by McGroarty and continued under Leighton. The city bought the two parcels in a 2002 back-tax sale and later demolished the former industrial laundry building. The site can’t be sold until the city completes contamination removal funded by a grant, and Khalife and other neighbors are interested. “The city had to take action,” Khalife said. “I really think the See PROPERTIES, Page 16A

Philadelphia – Summer of 1865. A grand review of the area’s troops returning from the Civil War is planned for July 10, along with a reception for Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, head of the victorious United States forces. But sadness overhangs the festivities, for the community and the nation are still reeling from the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln and the execution of four people found guilty of the conspiracy. In the city is native son Maj. Gen. George G. Meade, the hero of Gettysburg, to lead the parade. Many of his colleagues from the army’s general staff are there to join him. Together, in their blue dress uni-

WILKES-BARRE – The planned River Street Corridor Improvement Project is geared toward slowing traffic on the downtown thoroughfare in the area of the River Common park. “What we have for a five- or six-block area is a five-lane superhighway where traffic travels much too fast,” said Jim Brozena, executive director of the Luzerne County Flood Protection Authority. “We need to slow that traffic down so people can safely cross River Street and get to the park.” Pennsylvania Department of Trans-

Police are searching for a man who allegedly brandished a handgun Saturday during an altercation in the parking lot of Caribbean Delight After Hours Club at the corner of Division Street and Lee Park Avenue. Sybil Harris, 21, of Hanover Township, said she struck the man in the face after he rubbed money in her face during an argument. The man then pointed the handgun at her and said he was going to kill her, Harris said. He had left the scene prior to police arrival, police said. The male suspect is described as a black male, approximately 6 feet tall, with a thin build and a goatee. He was last seen wearing a brown or maroon polo shirt and blue jeans. Anyone with information about the suspect or the incident is asked to contact police at 825-1254. PLAINS TWP.

Protesters reject Israel’s regrets Israel and Egypt will conduct joint inquiry to clear up circumstances surrounding deadly gun battle.

Weather cuts pope’s speech

that the matter was still under review. The Foreign Ministry was expected to address the matter Saturday, but hadn’t by late evening local time. Former Israeli Ambassador to Egypt Shalom Cohen paid a brief visit to Cairo on Saturday, meeting with foreign ministry officials before returning to Israel. The Arab League also planned an emergency session to address the crisis. None of the developments did much to appease the throngs of Egyptian protesters who continued to mass outside the Israeli embassy in Cairo, where they demanded an end to the longstanding Egyptian-Israeli peace accord. Army personnel mostly hung back on the edges of the protest, making no attempts to disperse the hundreds — at times, thousands — of demonstrators chanting, “No peace with Israel!” A similar protest erupted outside the Israeli consulate in the Egyptian port

city of Alexandria, where demonstrators managed to bring down the Israeli flag and set it on fire, according to TV footage of the incident. The protesters outside the Cairo embassy tried and failed to bring down the Israeli flag. Israel is deeply unpopular among Egyptians, who identify with the Palestinian cause and are angered over the devastating blockade on Gaza. Mubarak’s regime was complicit in the blockade by sealing off its Rafah border crossing with Gaza, and the new political class is eager to distance itself from the old regime’s policies. Fifty-four percent of Egyptians favor annulling the longstanding peace treaty with Israel, according to a poll the U.S.-based Pew Research Center conducted after the popular uprising that forced out Mubarak. With parliamentary elections scheduled for November, several candidates are seizing on the public uproar to tout platforms.

speech during a prayer vigil at the Catholic Church’s world youth festival. An estimated million young pilgrims had braved searing heat Saturday to be in place for the vigil when a flash, blustery downpour drenched the crowd and forced Benedict to suspend his remarks. Once the rains had died down, about a half hour later, Benedict merely delivered brief greetings in a half-dozen languages, skipping the meat of his speech. Despite the discomfort, the scene at the Cuatro Vientos airport was nevertheless festive and colorful, with pilgrims in a rainbow of sunhats dancing, singing and waving their national flags as they geared up for a massive sleepover ahead of Sunday’s main World Youth Day Mass.

Sryian troops open fire Syrian security forces fired on protesters in the central province of Homs on Saturday, killing two people and wounding at least eight, as President Bashar Assad pushed ahead with a brutal crackdown despite assurances to the U.N. chief this week that the military operations have ended. Assad has come under mounting criticism for the offensive again the five-month-old uprising, most recently from the United States and its European allies who on Thursday demanded the Syrian leader step down. A state-owned Syrian newspaper, considered a government mouthpiece, rejected those calls Saturday, saying they revealed the “face of the conspiracy” against Damascus. The London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said security forces on Saturday shot dead two people in the town of Rastan, near the provincial capital of Homs, including well-known activists Mahmoud Ayoub who organized anti-regime protests.

Attorney to meet accuser The lawyer for the woman who accused former IMF head Dominique Strauss-Kahn of sexual assault says he believes prosecutors plan to dismiss some or all of the charges. Attorney Kenneth Thompson tells The New York Times that he got a letter from an assistant district attorney asking to meet with his client Monday, the day before Strauss-Kahn’s next scheduled court appearance. The letter was written in brusque tones and said the purpose was to discuss what would happen in court. WILDWOOD, N.J.

Five hurt in park ride An amusement park ride designed like a giant pirate ship that swings back and forth partially collapsed at a New Jersey amusement park where a girl fell to her death from a Ferris wheel in June, and five people were injured. The center mast snapped on the Sea Dragon ride Friday night, Wildwood police said. It wasn’t immediately clear what caused the mast to break. A teenager was sent to the hospital with injuries that are not considered life-threatening, and four others were treated at the scene for minor injuries, authorities said. Wildwood police and the state will investigate. A spokeswoman for the amusement park, Morey’s Mariner’s Landing Pier, declined to answer questions, including how long the ride would be out of service and whether the park would revisit its safety and inspection procedures.

The tarmac of the international airport in Tripoli, Libya, is under government-organized patrol on Saturday. The airport is in control of the government and no apparent sign of armed clashes was seen after a night of intense rumors on social networks that a rebel military operation had taken control of the capital city airport.

Rebels: Attack on Tripoli under way Forces opposing Libyan leader take city of Zawiya, 30 miles away from the capital. By DARIO LOPEZ and KARIN LAUB Associated Press

TRIPOLI, Libya — Libyan rebels said they launched an attack on Tripoli in coordination with NATO, and Associated Press reporters heard unusually heavy gunfire and explosions in the capital. The fighting erupted just hours after the opposition captured the key city of Zawiya nearby. Gunbattles and mortar rounds were heard clearly at the hotel where foreign correspondents stay in the capital. Explosions also sounded in the same area as NATO aircraft carried out heavy bombing runs after nightfall. “We planned this operation with NATO, our Arab associates and our rebel

Government spokesman Moussa Ibrahim appeared on Libyan television to deny that there was an uprising in Tripoli. “Sure, there were some armed militants who escaped into some neighborhoods and there were some scuffles, but we dealt with it within a half hour and it is now calm,” he said. The claims from both sides could not immediately be independently verified. Rebels fighting to oust Gadhafi have

scored a number of victories in the sixmonth civil war, only to see towns fall out of their hands. Now the momentum appears to have firmly swung in the opposition’s favor after months of near-deadlock. Col. Fadlallah Haroun, a military commander in Benghazi, said the battles marked the beginning of Operation Mermaid — a nickname for Tripoli. He also said the assault was coordinated with NATO. Haroun told the AP that weapons were assembled and sent by tugboats to Tripoli on Friday night. “The fighters in Tripoli are rising up in two places at the moment — some are in the Tajoura neighborhood and the other is near the Matiga (international) airport,” he told the Arabic satellite channel Al-Jazeera. Tajoura has been known since the beginning of the uprising in February as the Tripoli neighborhood most strongly opposed to Moammar Gadhafi’s regime.

Verizon strikers returning to work without deal The employees agreed to go back to work while they negotiate with the company for a new contract. By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER AP Economics Writer

NEW YORK — Thousands of striking Verizon workers will return to work Tuesday, though their contract dispute isn’t over yet. The 45,000 employees, who have been on strike since Aug. 7, agreed to return to

work while they negotiate with Verizon Communications Inc. on the terms of a new contract. The workers are employed in nine states from Massachusetts to Virginia in the landline division. Among the issues in dispute is the company’s move to freeze pensions and its demand that workers contribute to their health insurance premiums. The company argues that it has to reduce benefits as the landline business deteriorates. More Americans are forgoing such lines in favor of mobile phones. The employees’ unions say the compa-

ny is profitable and can afford to maintain the benefits. For now, the two sides say they have narrowed their disagreements and have agreed on a structure for the negotiations. The workers will return to work under the terms of a contract that expired Aug. 6. “The major issues remain to be discussed, but overall, issues now are focused and narrowed,” the Communications Workers of America and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers said in a statement.

WASHINGTON — As a summer of severe political and economic tumult winds down, President Barack Obama is in quiet consultations with advisers from his vacation compound in Martha’s Vineyard, mapping out a jobs package that he hopes can boost a sluggish economy and win over voters who are coming to doubt his leadership. Obama raised expectations during his Midwest bus tour last week that the jobs plan will mark a kind of reset for his presidency. He Obama could use a fresh start: A Gallup poll found public approval of Obama’s handling of the economy has fallen to 26 percent, the lowest of his presidency. As his bus stopped in rural hamlets and towns, a feisty Obama issued an ultimatum to the GOP: Join him and pass a jobs plan or risk being viewed by the public as the party that only blocks, never compromises. The question is whether the president can deliver. The administration’s plan comes right from the Obama playbook: a high-stakes speech meant to give his political fortunes an instant jolt. Such tactics haven’t worked of late. Obama’s overall job approval rating dipped below 40 percent for the first time last week — higher than Congress’ rating but below where a president up for re-election wants to be. Republicans remain determined to resist spending programs. “Conservatives don’t want everything to get better right now,” said Allan Lichtman, an expert on the presidency at American University in Washington. “They want to hold out, elect Republicans to Congress and the White House and then solve things their way. ... I can’t imagine why conservatives in Congress would do anything to help the president right now.”

Pope Benedict XVI hears a confession of two boys and two girls Saturday at the Jardines del Buen Retiro in Madrid.

CAIRO, Egypt — Israel “deeply regrets” the deaths of Egyptian security forces who were killed last week in the pursuit of gunmen who’d carried out a deadly ambush on the Israeli side of the restive border region between the two nations, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said Saturday. Barak said Israel and Egypt would conduct a joint inquiry to clear up the disputed circumstances surrounding the gun battle that left at least three Egyptian troops dead and several wounded hours after eight Israelis were killed in an ambush reportedly carried out by Palestinian militants

who’d breached the border from Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula. The cross-border incident this week has plunged the neighbors into their worst diplomatic standoff in Barak a decade, and suggests a much colder peace now that a popular uprising has forced longtime Israeli peace partner Hosni Mubarak, the former Egyptian president, from power. Egyptian protesters seeking to suspend diplomatic relations with Israel rejected Barak’s statements, saying it wasn’t a full apology. They urged a tougher response from Egypt’s ruling military council. The interim Egyptian government on Saturday said it would recall its ambassador to Israel over the incident, but later appeared to backtrack, with officials telling the Al Jazeera channel

Group rooted in interest in historic events Lindhill Institute productions grew from professor’s effort to illuminate past events. By TOM MOONEY Times Leader Correspondent

SHAVERTOWN – When Fred Walters was a professor of history at Luzerne County Community College in the 1980s, he decided to try something new to stimulate interest in America’s past. So he started doing staged dramas focusing on significant events, in period dress, while giving actors a good deal of leeway to develop characters and speak lines. The productions proved such a hit that when he retired from the college in 2006, he continued his presentations, gradually expanding them beyond Wyoming Valley. He designs storylines, recruits actors and arranges for venues, all under the name of the Lindhill Institute, his own production organization, which is based at his home in Shavertown, Kingston Township.

DON CAREY PHOTOS/THE TIMES LEADER

This medallion honoring pioneer aviator Charles Lindbergh is embedded in concrete near the front porch steps of the home of Fred Walters in Shavertown, Kingston Township. Lindbergh once visited the Wyoming Valley. Walters’ group did a presentation honoring that visit.

“Since that time we’ve really tried to reach out,” he said. “We’ve had people coming from Florida, New Jersey, Ohio.” While he recruits actors locally,

he also relies on out-of-area performers such as Andy Waskie of Philadelphia, who’s developed a stunningly realistic portrayal of Civil War Maj. Gen. George G.

This is the logo of the Lindhill Institute, a living-history performing arts organization founded by Fred Walters. The group offers productions on themes of local and national interest.

That event, incidentally, provided Walters with the name for his production group: “Lind” from Lindbergh and “hill,” because, Walters believes, Lindbergh’s circling to find a place to land might well have taken him over Walters’ modern-day house on a hill in Shavertown.

DON CAREY/THE TIMES LEADER

Fred Walters, a former history professor at Luzerne County Community College and director of the Lindhill Institute, does copious research before presenting a history production. This shelf holds some of his research into the Civil War and the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln.

Walters and his Lindhill actors will be keeping busy right through the end of the year. Though everything is not finalized yet, he plans a December project centering on the 1941 Japanese attack on the U.S. Navy base at Pearl Harbor.

Meade, and he uses their connections to stir up interest far and wide. The events can be national – as in his two Lincoln presentations this year – or local, such as the one based on aviation pioneer Charles Lindbergh’s emergency stop in Wyoming Valley in 1928.

On Sept. 14 in the ceremonial courtroom of Philadelphia City Hall, Lindhill will present, “The Great Conspiracy,” subtitled “recollections of the main government witnesses at the Lincoln assassination trial of 1865.” The trial sent four conspirators to death and four more to prison. “It’s an effort to tell the American story, to bring history to life,” said Walters, who has been conceiving and directing historybased presentations since the 1980s, when he was a teacher at Luzerne County Community College in Nanticoke.

a shorter, alternate version of Walters’ recent marathon-length, “Trial of the Lincoln Conspirators,” which his group presented at Gettysburg. “I didn’t think the trial transcript could be scaled down,” he said. “So I had to come up with another format. We decided to (focus on) two main witnesses – (Louis) Weichmann and (John) Lloyd – whose testimony was the most dramatic and convincing Gettysburg show and was most essential in the The September presentation is conviction of the defendants.”

Lindhill actors in full historical costume and using American speech of the 19th century will meet the modern-day public and explain their recent trial testimony that helped send four people to the gallows after one of the most controversial trials of all time.

their stories in historical construction. Every word they speak will be authentic, based on the Weichmann book or the facts of the trial or other historical sources,” said Walters. “We want to make sure every word these people speak can be attested to.” The assassination of President Lincoln in April 1865 remains one of the nation’s darkest times. Less well known to most people today, however, is that the assassination was only part of a broader terror conspiracy by sympathizers of the just-defeated Confederacy to paralyze the U.S. government. Planning deadly plots First, in March of 1865, several conspirators plotted to kidnap the president and deliver him to the Confederates, who were still a month away from surrendering.

When that plan did not work out, they switched to assassination. Lincoln and several other top officials, including Grant, were to be killed and the government destabilized. But most of the plot failed, and only the president died, shot in the head while he was watching a play at Fordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Theater in Washington, D.C.

Over the next few weeks, a group of people largely associated with a boarding house operated by Mary Surratt were arrested, and most were brought to trial. Four, proclaimed the ringleaders, were hanged on July 7. Four more were sent to prison, three of them for life. Events moved quickly, and controversy soon arose. Questions were raised about the quality of proof used to convict the â&#x20AC;&#x153;guiltyâ&#x20AC;? and of the truthfulness of testimony by Louis Weichmann and John Lloyd â&#x20AC;&#x201C; suspects themselves early on in the investigation. In particular, some people wondered, were Weichmann and Lloyd lying about the others to save themselves? The heart of Waltersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; presentation in September will be his actors portraying Weichmann and Lloyd telling their personal stories to a modern audience. The venue, Walters hopes, will help the historical veracity of his production. It was Waltersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; own Civil War connections that helped him se-

To see additional But events like photos, visit Flynn’s funeral, set www.times against the backleader.com drop of the reconstructed mid-19th century mining village, brought a broader breadth of perspective to the weekend and helped to transport spectators back in time. Walking up the town’s main drag, one could hear the tune of banjos and clacking washboards chiming “Oh my Darling, Clementine” occasionally punctuated by rifle fire, smell food cooked over open campfires wafting from soldiers’ camp sites, and pause for a moment to watch Arthur Bransky, dressed as snakeoil salesman Dr. Kelly, peddle his medicinal cure-all. “I often tell the kids you can always ask your parents to take you to an amusement park,” said Bob Vybrenner, president of Eckley’s Board of Directors of the Associates. “Ah, but to travel in time. That’s the experience you get here.” “I was just at the funeral, and that was pretty similar to what a mining family would have experienced,” said Michael Pozzessere, a history teacher at Hazleton Area High School who came to enjoy the re-enactments. “They

held for the Coal Street widening project that is under construction, but few people attended, said Mayor Tom Leighton. Recently some Coal Street residents said they were unaware that there would be no parking on Coal Street when the project was completed. “The city is working closely with the county, state, and design team to improve the River Street corridor for pedestrian and vehicular traffic as well as highlight the great public assets along the corridor both present and future,” Leighton said. “We have high hopes for the project.” May said the project will reduce the number of lanes on River Street between Ross and North streets from four to two. He said traffic will travel in one lane each way with turning lanes in some areas.

Re-enactors portray Union Soldiers from Company A 81st Regiment camp at Eckley Miners’ Village Saturday.

“I often tell the kids you can always ask your parents to take you to an amusement park. Ah, but to travel in time. That’s the experience you get here.” Bob Vybrenner President of Eckley’s Board of Directors of the Associates

really put a lot of work in to make the experience as realistic as possible.” Many of the volunteer re-enactors staging the event said that ability to step into another world is exactly what brings them to events like Eckley’s. “It’s really neat when you wake up in the morning and watch the sun go across the sky ‘till it gets real pink as it’s doing down in the evening,” said 81st Pennsylvania

Company K re-enactor Ted Dombroski, of Hazleton, as he sat beneath a tent chatting history with a handful of re-enactors from 12th New Jersey company. “It’s just spending the whole entire day outside. How often do you get to do that in the modern world? It’s an escape from the modern world.” “We try to get in character; we take it very seriously,” said Confederate re-enactor Bob Abel, of Hellertown, who portrayed a member of the company in which his ancestors served, the 1st Texas Company E. “We’ll joke around maybe in camp where no spectators are watching, but when we get on the fields, it’s serious business.” Natalie Kost, of Freeland, who portrayed one of the mourners in Flynn’s funeral, said she’s been to “hundreds” of battlefields and reenactments, but was so taken by the event at Eckley she was moved to tears.

“It’s my first time doing it and I was so moved,” Kost said. “I truly ended up crying. It’s truly a part that you play, but the feelings are real. That could be your son in there. That’s probably what this is all about: the feelings. Feelings don’t change.”

“This is a traffic-calming project that was requested by the city,” May said. “We will reduce traffic flow to one lane each way in that area.” May said a questionnaire will be handed out at the public hearing to gain additional information from the public. Brozena said it’s a dangerous proposition at times now to try to cross River Street to get to the $24 million River Common project. “People see dashed white lines and they think it’s a highway,” Brozena said. “The intent with this project is to come up with a wide design that allows for a UPS truck and those sorts of things and to have adequate turning lanes. But the main objective is to slow traffic down.” Brozena said the plan calls for the curbs on River Street to stay where they are now. He said there may be a raised median installed and maybe trees and flowers down the center of River Street. “I’m not sure any of that is still in the cards,” Brozena said.

August 18, 2011 irginia Rosser Myers, 92, died Thursday, August 18, 2011, after V a prolonged illness.

She was born April 14, 1919, a daughter to Bruce and Edna Rosser. After graduation from Kingston High School, she began Nursing School at the Wilkes-Barre General Hospital. While a student, she contracted meningitis and survived before the advent of antibiotics. Charles E. Myers, a young intern at the time, diagnosed her condition and managed her care. They fell in love and married in 1942, on the eve of World War II. After graduation, Ginny worked as a Visiting Nurse and gained first-hand insights into the plight of those in poverty. Shortly after marriage, her husband joined the U.S. Army. Four years later, he returned from the war and after only six months went to a tuberculosis sanatorium where he remained for the next two years. Thus, for the first six years of marriage, Ginny and her husband lived together for less than a year. Despite these difficulties, she managed well enough on her own that her young family thrived. This set the pattern for the rest of her life as those of us who had the pleasure of knowing her remember her as strong, resilient and resourceful. After these early difficulties, Virginia and her husband enjoyed, as did America at that time, a period of peace and prosperity as they worked as a team to develop Charles’s medical practice and raise their young family. In addition to her role as a mother and wife, Virginia was very active in community affairs. For many years she was on the Board of Directors of the Wilkes-Barre General Hospital and the Girl Scouts and volunteered at the General Hospital. In part because of her experience as a Visiting Nurse, she had a lifelong commitment to social justice and liberal causes which she shared with her husband. They worked together to help those less fortunate and were passionate, lifelong Democrats. When her husband discovered that men with miner’s lung disease were not being adequately cared for by the community, Ginny supported him in establishing a federally funded clinic to fix this prob-

lem. She strongly supported the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s and 1970s. Most recently, she was active in fundraising for the Obama campaign. Ginny was one of those people who were always available to friends and family members in distress. She showed all of us that you could be kind and caring while exhibiting great strength of character and a strong will. One of Ginny’s most memorable challenges was learning how to ride a bicycle at the age of 50. Not only did she learn but she took bicycle trips to Australia, France, the Netherlands, and New Zealand. Many Saturday and Sunday mornings would find her chugging up some steep hill and smiling at the end. In her middle years (50-80), she learned to play tennis and enjoyed doubles with many of her friends. She also learned to play the cello. We will always remember her lifelong exuberance for Mahjong and bridge. One of her latest challenges before her stroke was to complete the New York Times Cross Word Puzzle on a daily basis. Ginny actively participated in the raising of her grandchildren. Subsequently, they each have a special place in their hearts for their Grandma Ginny who the very young grandchildren dubbed as “solid metal.” Her closely knit family, children and grandchildren, will surely miss her. She will remain a legend in our lives for many years. Ginny is survived by her three children, Charles Myers Jr., and his wife, Rose, of Earlysville, Va.; Fredrick Myers and his wife, Debra, of Kingston; and Mary Ann Myers of Pittston; her four grandchildren, Jessica Myers Schecter, Gabrielle Myers, Eric Myers and Mathew Myers; six great-grandchildren; sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Beverly and William Myers of Arizona; as well as several nieces and nephews. Our family is grateful to the staff of St. Luke’s Villa (formerly Heritage House) for their kindness and excellent care of our mother through the last two and half years. Arrangements are entrusted to the Adonizio Funeral Home Inc., Pittston.

the neighborhood. “Held by absentee landlords, these units have attracted Section 8 renters, contributed to an overall decline in neighborhood upkeep and increase in crime,” the city’s application said. Acquiring the properties made sense, even though the project is in limbo, because there’s little likelihood the government or private developers would invest in a project without site control, Leighton said. “Without ownership, we can’t make a presentation,” he said. The neighborhood has also been improved by clearing the lots, said city Economic Development Director Greg Barrouk. The city fielded “constant” complaints from residents about the blighted properties, he said. Gone is the former Roxanne of PA swimsuit factory on Carey Avenue. The roof had caved in after the plant closed in 1997. The former Chu’s Lounge on Carey Avenue was purchased for $21,000 and leveled. The establishment was shut down after officials deemed it a nuisance bar. Several large residential structures were demolished. “They were just a constant headache to us and all the neighbors,” Barrouk said. Leighton said he hopes people remember what it was like before the city intervened. “You’ve got to understand, these were homes to the homeless, the drug addicts, the prostitutes. These are where they hung out and hid from the police.” Summerlin said he and many other surrounding property owners are trying to rebound and rid their neighborhood of its image as the “ghetto of Wilkes-Barre.” He and his girlfriend purchased their building in 2005 because the structure was solid and blended in with the city’s “striking architecture.” “It’s kind of a delicate balance what we have here now,” he said. “It’s definitely come a long way so you have to applaud the city for what it’s done.”

The tomato fight was part of the festival’s Saturday lineup, which featured a 5K race, the Miss Tomato Queen Scholarship Pageant and a tomato judging competition. The festival also featured dozens of food vendors, offering sausage and pepper sandwiches, pasta fagioli, porketta, potato pancakes, pigs-in-the-blanket and cannolis, as well as other ethnic fare.

A sea of tomato artillery is all that’s left of the ‘fighting’ in the parking lot of Cooper’s Waterfront.

"It’s grown bigger each year and people come from all over to enjoy the food and fun," he added. "As a matter of fact, I just met some people from Rhode Island

who were driving through the area and heard about us." A smiling Congressman Lou Barletta came out on Saturday to "say hello to everyone and enjoy

a great local event." "This event means so much to all of us in town," said employees of Sabatelle’s Market. "Just look around at all the happy people."

LUAU, LEIS & LOVE Longtime friends tie the knot Hawaiian style By MARY THERESE BIEBEL

as a full moon gleaming above them that night? Or was it simply almost full? • Bonnie Thomas and David Fitch of Dallas argued the astronomical question nine years ago, on a getting-to-knowyou-better first date. • “I think I knew he was the right one when we argued on our first date and could still get along,” said Bonnie, who became David’s wife last weekend during a luau in her brother-in-law’s backyard.

The last guest left around 3 a.m., and the bride and groom stayed up for the next two hours, talking about how much they’d enjoyed their casual wedding, where guests sported Hawaiian shirts, flip flops and leis. “It’s kind of nice the second time around,” said the bride. “You don’t worry so much about the traditions.” The Hawaiian-style event was a second wedding for both Bonnie, 48, and David, 60, whose families go way back. “His brothers went to school with

my parents; he with my aunt,” Bonnie explained. “My father tutored David through the Masons’ Blue Lodge in the ’70s, and David’s brother drove my wedding car in the ’80s.” Fast forward a few decades, through a 20-year marriage for Bonnie and a 30-year marriage for David. The two would run into each other now and then, maybe at Three Guys Pizza in Dallas or at the American Legion. “We’d catch up on family See VOWS, Page 4B

MEET BOBBY SOPER PETE G. WILCOX /THE TIMES LEADER

obby Soper is the president of Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. Soper, 39, is a native of Atlanta and is a graduate of the University of Georgia, where he earned a BBA in economics. He also earned a law degree at the University of Georgia. He and his wife, Jackie, have two children: Gabriella, 11, and Dalton, 7. They live in Shavertown.

You’ve been at the casino since 2005 and have been its president since Day One. What do you enjoy the most about your work? “Interacting with people. The casino is a dynamic environment. You have thousands of people that come in here every day from all walks of life. It’s often said that casinos are great ‘people-watching’ places, and certainly as a manager, to be able to interact with such a diverse group of people makes every day interesting. And that holds true for our team members as well. We’ve got over 1,600 team members here, and they all have different backgrounds and, in our case, are all very passionate

about our organization. To be able to have such an incredible team and to be able to work side by side with them brings a lot of gratification.” When you were going for your law degree, you probably didn’t envision running a casino. “I thought I was going to be a securities attorney. That was my focus in law school. My cousin in Connecticut was the manager of the Mohegan Tribe at a time when they opened the initial Mohegan Sun. She worked for the tribal government and she let me know they were looking for attorneys and asked if I’d be interested. I was fresh out of law school, newly married and the opportunity of being associated with a casino was exciting. Even though I was barred in Georgia and already had a job lined up, we decided to take the risk, move to Connecticut and try out the casino world.”

And you liked it? “I liked it. I spent four years in the capacity of senior counsel for the organization. We were able to raise over a billion dollars, both from Wall Street and from banks. I got to work with the best attorneys in the country on those transactions. It was an incredible experience for a young attorney. I was also able to work side by side with the CEO of the casino and learned a lot of the operations. Ultimately, he selected me to be a senior vice president for the casino, and over time, I was delegated more and more responsibility and more and more divisions of the company. And then ultimately, I was selected to open up this property and manage this property.” You’ve got a very big job at a place that never closes. What do you do to relax? “Both myself and my wife like to be involved in the community, so we’re both heavily

involved in a lot of community organizations and a lot of nonprofit organizations. For fun, I certainly like to spend time with my children. We like to hit the amusement parks and travel. And sometimes, I like to take long weekends to a beach and do nothing.” Hobbies? “I collect sports memorabilia. And I like to play fantasy sports, especially fantasy football.” Atlanta teams, we assume? “I am a Falcons fan. Absolutely. And the Atlanta Braves. And I’m a big fan of the Georgia Bulldogs.” Music? “Anything ’80s. Whether it’s glam rock, or ’80s hard-rock, or ’80s R&B. It’s all ’80s. It was the prime part of my childhood and teenage years.” Favorite vacation spot? “Cancun.” See MEET, Page 6B

Like many young girls growing up in Northeastern Pennsylvania in the 1950s, Barbara Woronko Anzalone had a mother who worked in a dress factory, and an older brother, Bill, who went to fight in Vietnam. Anzalone’s family may not have had an excess of material possessions, but they provided her with something even more valuable: the encouragement and Anzalone support to allow her beauty — inside and out — to grace stages nationwide. In her long career as a pageant contestant, actress and dancer, Anzalone has worn the crown of Miss Pennsylvania, drunk champagne with Frank Sinatra, stormed Radio City as a Rockette, and even hob-knobbed with vampires. In1968, the Edwardsville native graced the small screen with a guest role on the popular ABC drama “Dark Shadows.” Now, as Johnny Depp and Tim Burton prepare a film version of the show in England, Anzalone reminisces about a career that some might call improbable. The basis for all of Anzalone’s success, she believes, is her mother, Mary Woronko. “I had a wonderful mother who was with me all the time,” Anzalone says, “Mom knew talent and she was not one to give false praise. She saw my talents, so she pushed me. I would not have been able to realize my career if it weren’t for her help.” At the age of 3, Anzalone began studying dance at Hilda Man Hertz’s studio on South Main Street, WilkesBarre. “I don’t think she ever danced,” Anzalone laughs, “but she had such charisma. After a five-minute conversation with her, you were enamored.” Anzalone also studied under Bob Niznick and John Kenley. In 1970, as Anzalone approached her teenage years, she played Susan in the Little Theatre of Wilkes-Barre’s production of “Don’t Drink the Water.” A few years earlier, Anzalone entered the pageant world, where her talents came in handy. Her first competition was Miss NEPA Teen at Rocky Glen Park. “WARM was the radio station in those days,” Anzalone recalls, “and I remember them advertising this pageant all over the station saying applications were available, the pillars of the community would be judging — it was going to be on the up-and-up, which was good, because otherwise my mother would never have let me gone.” On the day of the pageant, a swarm of girls filled the park. The competition included a judge’s interview, an on-stage appearance, and on-stage questioning. “It was a very respectable affair. We wore cocktail dresses. There was no bathing suit portion. And our question was worth the most points,” says Anzalone, who was selected from 35 finalists as the winner. “Every competition became a stepping stone to gain experience and exposure,” she says. In 1967, as a high school senior, Anzalone was chosen as the representative of West Side Central Catholic High School, Kingston, for America’s Junior Miss program. “Junior Miss was a talent program like Miss America,” Anzalone reflects, “but it was also a scholarship program. At that time my father had left and my mother was See SHADOWS, Page 7B

stuff,” Bonnie said, “and then go our separate ways.” Then, one time, David casually asked: “You like The Poets, don’t you? I heard they’re going to be opening the Waterfront.” After giving a noncommittal kind of answer, Bonnie remembered, she started to walk away. Then she had a second thought. “I turned back around and said, ‘You weren’t asking me out, were you? I’m not really good at this dating thing.” They did agree to attend the concert together but, he explained to her later, a date hadn’t been his intention — until she mentioned it. “When you asked me if I was asking you out,” he told her, “I wasn’t going to say no.” That was the night they argued about whether or not the moon was full. “Our friendship was built first, and our relationship started out

very slowly,” Bonnie said, recalling the couple had been dating about six months when she observed that “You never really make any advances.” “He said, ‘I’m a gentleman.’ I said, ‘I appreciate that, but could you stop being a gentleman?’ He said, ‘I had a feeling when you were ready, you’d let me know.’ ” The couple merged their households four years ago and became engaged during a neighbor’s New Year’s Eve party at the stroke of midnight. They would have gotten married two years ago, except David’s son, also named David, was getting married. Then they would have gotten married last year, but Bonnie’s daughter Richelle was getting married. This year, it was Bonnie and David’s turn. The couple exchanged vows before Bonnie’s friend, the Rev. Ann Marie Webb. Surrounding them were their loved ones, including Bonnie’s daughters Amber Wesley and Richelle Steele, Richelle’s husband Joe and their

Personally, my parents instilled the values that I have today, so they were certainly the most influential in that regard. And my mentor was my boss, Bill Velardo, who mentored me in the gaming industry. He’s passed away, but he taught me everything in the industry, including the importance of relationships and respect and humility.” Proudest professional moment? “Opening the first casino in Pennsylvania. We established

precedent and paved the way for other casinos, as well as the regulatory body. It was an incredible team effort that required unusually long workdays for many, many people. And the smiles that you saw on all of their faces when we opened was very memorable. It required a lot of working parts and a lot of hard work from all of our team members and it resulted in a very historical moment, not only for our organization, but for the commonwealth. It was certainly a memorable day.”

supporting the family; she couldn’t afford college. So I turned to the pageants for scholarships.” While representing her high school, Anzalone won the title Miss Wilkes-Barre, the preliminary that allowed her to compete for – and win – the title of Miss Pennslvania. This earned her a spot in the finals in Miami Beach, Fla. “That was like a dream,” Anzalone says. “I had never flown, and I didn’t want to go without my mother. To enable her to go, the radio station WARD opened their phone lines. They explained the situation and raised enough to allow my mom to go. I can’t believe how many generous people there are in this area.” Anzalone and some of her fellow competitors were assigned to stay at the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach where, as luck would have it, Ol’ Blue Eyes was performing. “Frank Sinatra found out the finalists were staying there and he invited us to a cocktail party. At first, the pageant directors were not going to allow it — they kept a close watch on us. We each had our own security guard and our floor of the hotel

was locked so the elevators wouldn’t stop on it. Frank insisted a glass of champagne would be harmless, and he talked them into letting us go,” she said. While at the party in Club Gigi, Anzalone was suddenly lifted off her chair by Sinatra, who graciously posed for pictures and chatted. Ultimately, Anzalone’s involvement with America’s Junior Miss would earn her a $2,800 scholarship to the University of Pennsylvania that she never used, and memories that lasted a lifetime. “Seeing so many girls from so many different places was a real eye-opener,” she says, “I made a lot of friends.” Not long after claiming the title Miss Pennsylvania, Anzalone was crowned Miss Polish America 1968 at Palisades Park, N.J. The prize was an opportunity to read for the part of Nurse Pritchett on the gothic soap opera “Dark Shadows,” and Anzalone ultimately secured the role. She appeared on Episode 632, which aired on November 26, 1968. “Before I went to the filming, I had never seen ‘Dark Shadows,’ but afterwards I was hooked. We worked from 9 in the morning until 6 at night, but it was a lot of fun. Everyone was very kind and welcoming.” Recently, Anzalone was invited to and attended the Dark Shadows Festival, held from Aug 19 through Aug 21 at the ballroom of the New York

Marriott Brooklyn Bridge. Other original cast and crew members in attendance included Kathryn Leigh Scott, Kathleen Cody, and Jonathan Frid, who starred as the original heart-throb vampire Barnabus Collins. For fans of the drama, Anzalone offers information on the planned film, directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp: “The film will precede the series, and explain how Barnabus came to the U.S. If the first film is successful, it is poised to become a franchise.” Though Frid has surrendered the role of Barnabus Collins to Depp, he will make a cameo appearance in the film. Anzalone’s fame has been far from short-lived. After filming her episode of “Dark Shadows,” she danced for the Rockettes in 1974, during their 50th anniversary season. After an injury on stage at Radio City shortened her tenure, she returned home to

Yankees break slide at 9 with win

Sooners are No. 1 in AP Poll

Jorge Vazquez has another big blast as SWB defeats Rochester Red Wings. By JIM MANDELARO For The Times Leader

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – The streak is over. After scoring just 17 runs in nine straight losses, and coming one defeat away from tying the franchise mark for futility, the Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre Yankees finally notched a win Saturday night. They did it with pitching and power. Jorge Vazquez YANKEES continued to torment the Rochester Red Wings and rightRED WINGS hander D.J. Mitchell picked up his 10th win as the Yankees rolled 6-4 before a near-sellout crowd of 10,713 at Frontier Field. “Streak? What streak?” Yankees manager Dave Miley said. “It was nice to walk out and shake hands (after a win). It was a tough road.” With the victory, the Yankees are back at .500 (63-63) with 18 games remaining. The 1990 Scranton/WilkesBarre Red Barons, then an affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies, dropped 10 straight from Aug. 1826. Mitchell (10-9) allowed four hits in the first inning but limited the Red Wings to one run over the next five innings. Rochester’s station-to-station attack in the first inning produced only one run. The Yankees got that back in the second, when Vazquez doubled and scored when Jordan Parraz’s one-hopper glanced off third baseman Chase Lambin’s glove for an error. The Yankees broke it open in the fourth with a little help from the Wings. Parraz singled in a run with two outs, and Luis Nunez followed with a fly to left-center that should have been caught. But center fielder Brandon Roberts was out of position, and left fielder Dustin Martin failed to make the catch despite diving for the ball. Two runs scored on the play as the Yankees built a 4-1 lead. Vazquez sent a pitch from lefthander Scott Diamond into the visitor’s bullpen in left field with two outs in the fifth, a two-run shot that widened the Yankees’

No. 2 Alabama, one of a record eight Southeastern Conference teams in the preseason poll, wasn’t far behind OU, receiving 17 firstplace votes and 1,439 points.

McGloin is only choice for Nittany Lions

ith a friendly slap on the shoulder and a warm smile, Matt McGloin started a recent Penn State football practice with some words of instruction for his center. Over in an adjacent offensive group, Rob Bolden seemed more intent on being the center of attention as he bounced around like a boxer before a big fight. Their personal battle to open this season as Penn State’s starting quarterback won’t come down to which one interacts best with the rest of the team. But the best man for the job is always the one who gets the guys around him to play better. That’s McGloin. The former West Scranton High School star rallied the Nittany Lions past Northwestern and on to head coach Joe Paterno’s 400th career victory last season, and gave them enough of a spark while starting five of their last six games to earn a berth in the Outback Bowl. “My leadership has improved tremendously over the past couple years,” said McGloin, making a case for why he should be the guy behind center Sept. 3 against Indiana State. “Two, the decision-making has improved.” It’s that last part that has Penn State fans looking at McGloin a little funny. He gave the Lions a chance to beat Florida in the Outback Bowl in January, then threw it away with his fifth and final interception of the day. That performance bothers him to this day. “I still think about it a lot,” said McGloin, a former West Scranton High School star. “I don’t think it’ll go away until the season starts.”

SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT— Alex Garbrick held Cumberland, R.I., to three hits before reaching his pitchcount limit and Wyatt Koch added a key two-out RBI single in the fifth to lift Clinton County to a 2-0 victory at the Little League World Series on Saturday night. A night after a tension-filled, 1-0 loss to Kentucky, the hometown favorites rebounded before another partisan crowd at Lamade Stadium of more than 36,000. Garbrick had six strikeouts and was

aided by sparkling defense. “I tried to relax and forget about all the people in the stands and just pitch,” Garbrick said. Rhode Island had the tying run at the plate in the sixth after Connor Mastin walked, but Garbrick got a strikeout. Tyler McCloskey came on in relief and struck out Christopher Wright, eliminating Rhode Island. “This is a very easy team to coach,” said Garbrick’s father, manager Bill Garbrick.” “This team is phenomenal at bouncing back.” In a touching gesture, the teams then jogged around the stadium track

together after the game to cheers from fans for both teams. “No rejection from that other team, they wanted to share with the crowd,” Rhode Island manager David Belisle said. “There was some feeling there, I know them, I know those kids, they felt a little sad for us. That’s a classy team.” Koch and Talon Falls each went 2 for 3 for Pennsylvania, while starter Christopher Wright allowed six hits See SERIES, Page 4C

Flynn, Porfirio register Tomato Festival Run victories Both race winners are Pittston Area High School graduates. By ROBERT MINER For The Times Leader

PITTSTON – Matt Flynn and Deedra Porfirio ran to easy victories in the Pittston Tomato Festival 5K Run on Saturday. Both winners – former Pittston Area High School runners -- trailed early in the race, but took charge shortly after the first mile. Flynn, 25, of Media, broke

the tape in 16 minutes and 18 seconds. Shavertown’s Sean Robbins, 41, who recently won the Wilkes-Barre Triathlon, finished second, 44 seconds behind Flynn. Chris Dailey, 20, of Dallas, finished third, just one second behind Robbins. “It went pretty well,” said Flynn. “I trailed (Dailey) over the first mile. Then at the onemile marker, I felt good. So I decided to go for it. I took off and built a pretty good lead. Once I put some distance between myself and the rest of the field, I settled into a nice pace to the finish.”

Daily trains on the streets of his hometown outside Philadelphia. “Right now, I’m putting in about 60 miles a week,” he said. Porfirio won the female division of the 5K with a 10th-place finish overall in 19:27. The 34year-old from West Pittston outran second-place finisher, Catherine Lombardo, 16, of Pittston, by 28 seconds. Another 16-year-old, Alexandria Plant, of Swoyersville, finished third, six seconds behind Lombardo. See RUN, Page 4C

PAUL SOKOLOSKI OPINION

NEW YORK — Being voted preseason No. 1 is a tradition at Oklahoma, and this season is no different. The Sooners will start out top-ranked in The Associated Press college football poll for the 10th time, more than any program in the country. The defending Big 12 champions received 36 of 60 first-place votes and 1,464 points in the Top 25 released Saturday. Auburn, last season’s national champion, will start the season No. 23, one See SOONERS, Page 4C

Team responds to McGloin It should start with McGloin throwing the first pass for Penn State. Bolden has a bigger arm, more natural talent and, many believe, much better long-range potential. But as many Penn State starters attested a year ago, McGloin has the ability to inspire everyone around him. “Whether it’s me or Rob, I’ll accept the role,” McGloin said. “And be ready when called upon.” He is a team player all the way, whether McGloin is slapping shoulder pads at practice or clapping hands after firing touchdowns at Beaver Stadium. Sometimes, it seems developing that kind of connection just slips out of Bolden’s grasp. He asked out of his Penn State scholarship after standing on the sideline and watching McGloin stay on the field for the whole Outback Bowl, before Bolden eventually changed his mind and stuck around. “I don’t hate the dude or anything like that,” Bolden said of his competition with McGloin. “We laugh and joke all the time.” The joke will be on Penn State if McGloin gets overlooked again. He opened last season watching Bolden become the first freshman to open a season as Penn State’s starting quarterback under Paterno’s watch. Then Nittany Lion fans watched in amazement as McGloin become the first former walk-on quarterback to start under Paterno, and went on to become the first Penn State quarterback in history to pass for more than 300 yards in two consecutive games. It’s hard to pass on a guy whose first pass of the season went for a 42-yard touchdown last year, and who never stopped gunning for the sky. “In my opinion, in anything you do, you have to prove yourself,” McGloin said. “Each and every day, you have to practice like it’s your last.” McGloin will always have last year, where he went from being a no-name walk-on to one of Penn State’s coolest stories. He’s not interested in memories of that. Just making more. Paul Sokoloski is a Times Leader sports columnist. You may reach him at 970-7109 or email him at psokoloski@timesleader.com.

Phillies’ Oswalt dominates D.C. The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Roy Oswalt pitched eight-hit ball for eight innings, Wilson Valdez and Jimmy Rollins each drove in two runs and Hunter Pence homered to lead the Philadelphia Phillies to a 5-0 victory over the Washington Nationals on Saturday night. Oswalt was supposed to start for the Phillies on Friday night, but after torrential rain arrived in the first inning, the game was delayed by 2 hours, 22 minutes, and he was scratched. The Phillies, winners for the 81st time this year, scored twice in the fourth and three times in the sixth as Oswalt (6-7) struck out nine — the most since joining Philadelphia last July. He walked one and had runners on in every inning but the second and third. Braves 8, Diamondbacks 1

ATLANTA — Dan Uggla homered twice and drove in three runs, Brandon Beachy gave up only one run in six innings and the Atlanta Braves continued to feast on the top teams in the NL West by beating the Arizona Diamondbacks 8-1 on Saturday night. Uggla’s two-run homer in the first gave Atlanta the lead. Uggla and Freddie Freeman hit back-to-back homers in the seventh. Brewers 11, Mets 9

NEW YORK — Prince Fielder hit a long home run early and a key single in the ninth inning Saturday, spoiling the Mets’ chances of a win against former closer Francisco Rodriguez and giving the Milwaukee Brewers an 11-9 victory over New York. Casey McGehee followed Fielder’s tying hit with a tworun single off Manny Acosta, capping a four-run rally. Pirates 5, Reds 3

PITTSBURGH — Neil Walker had two RBI singles, the second driving in Andrew McCutchen with the go-ahead run in the seventh inning, and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Cincinnati Reds 5-3 Saturday. Walker’s hit off of Aroldis Chapman (2-1) was his third hit of the game, and Brandon Wood followed with an RBI double, allowing Pittsburgh to improve to 8-3 against the Reds this season. Cubs 3, Cardinals 0

CHICAGO — Matt Garza pitched seven sharp innings, Aramis Ramirez homered and the Chicago Cubs beat the St. Louis Cardinals 3-0 Saturday. Garza (6-9) scattered five hits, struck out eight and won at Wrigley Field for the first time since June 27. Sean Marshall, Kerry Wood and Carlos Marmol finished off the shutout. Marmol earned his 29th save in 37 chances. Rockies 7, Dodgers 6, 13 innings

DENVER — Dexter Fowler atoned for a crucial mistake by hitting an RBI single with two outs in the 13th inning Saturday that gave the Colorado Rockies a 7-6 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Fowler misplayed a line drive by Trent Oletjen into an inside-the-park homer in the 12th that gave Los Angeles a 6-4 lead. Astros 7, Giants 5

HOUSTON — Jose Altuve hit an inside-the-park drive for his first major league home run, a leadoff shot that sent the Houston Astros over the San Francisco Giants 7-5 Saturday night. Altuve had three hits and fellow rookie J.D. Martinez homered and drove in four runs as the Astros matched a season high with their fourth straight win.

AMERICAN LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Burnett melts down as Twins pound Yanks The Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS — A.J. Burnett lost his composure and failed to finish the second inning, when the Minnesota Twins scored five times on their way to a 9-4 victory over the New York Yankees on Saturday. Francisco Liriano (9-9) threw seven stellar innings for the Twins, who played like they were taking a decade’s worth of frustration out against their nemesis. This was just their 20th win in 81 games against the Yankees over the last 10 seasons, including the playoffs. Burnett (9-10) was the one who was bummed out on this night, though, so much so that he turned his head while skulking off the mound and angrily shouted what appeared to be a few curse words toward manager Joe Girardi after he took the ball from the lanky righthander. Girardi was later shown on TV tracking Burnett down in the tunnel to the clubhouse and ushering him back to the bench.

Rays 8, Mariners 0

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Jeremy Hellickson allowed six hits over eight sharp innings, Evan Longoria hit his 20th homer of the season and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Seattle Mariners 8-0 on Saturday night. Longoria finished with four RBIs, including a two-run homer in the first. He joined Hall of Famer Eddie Mathews as the only major league third basemen to have 20 or more homers in each of their first four seasons. Tigers 10, Indians 1

DETROIT (AP) — Brandon Inge homered in his return to the Tigers lineup and Detroit went on to rout the Cleveland Indians 10-1 on Saturday night. Inge was designated for assignment in July, a move that many expected to end his 11-year career. He accepted a demotion to Triple-A Toledo, though, and hit well enough for the Mud Hens to earn a surprising recall. Inge homered in his first Royals 9, Red Sox 4 at-bat and hit a 400-foot RBI KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Alex double in his second as the Gordon and Eric Hosmer each Tigers increased their AL Cendrove in two runs in an eighttral lead to 31⁄2 games.

lead. Think Vazquez has the Red Wings’ number? He has hit 10 homers in 24 games against Rochester over the past two seasons. This year, he is hitting .386 with 5 homers and 18 RBI in 11 games against Rochester. Vazquez spent nine seasons playing in the Mexican League before signing with the New York Yankees late in 2008.

SOONERS Continued from Page 1C

2004 season at No. 5. Heisman Trophy favorite Andrew Luck and Stanford were No. 7. Rounding out the top 10 are Oklahoma’s Big 12 rivals, Texas A&M (No. 8) and Oklahoma State (No. 9), and Nebraska (No. 10), in its first season in the Big Ten after leaving the Big 12. No. 16 Notre Dame is ranked for the first time since early November 2009. Penn State is unranked. As for Oklahoma, no matter where it lands in the preseason, it always expects to make a run at a national championship in the end. It hasn’t won it all, however, since 2000. That’s when coach Bob Stoops led the Sooners to their seventh AP national title in his second season in Norman. Since then, Oklahoma has lost three BCS championship games.

Rochester finally broke through again in the sixth. The Red Wings loaded the bases with no outs but again managed only one run against Mitchell. Brian Dinkelman hit a sacrifice fly to center, but Aaron Bates followed with a 6-4-3 double play. Miley showed plenty of confidence in his starting pitcher, as no one was warming up in the bullpen during the sixth. “It was still early in the game,” Miley said. “I gave him a chance to work through it.” Mitchell gave way to Logan Kensing in the seventh. Mitchell

allowed the two runs on six hits, with one walk and four strikeouts. He allowed only one hit after the first inning. Mitchell was making his first start in10 days. The right-hander pitched one inning in relief against Durham on Tuesday. Kensing allowed a run in the seventh. The Yankees were aided by their third double play of the game. “I think that was the key to the game,” Miley said. “It seemed like we got them at all the right times.” Kensing gave up another run

The Sooners have won the AP national title four times when they were preseason No. 1 (1956, 1974, 1975 and 1985). The last time they started a season topranked was 2003. That season, they lost the BCS championship game to LSU. “We’re very matter of fact,” Stoops said this week. “All we think about is doing the work. “We’re also very aware we’re not much different than about 12, 15 other teams that’ll be competing for it that have legitimate chances to win it. What are we going to do differently to separate ourselves?” Having the combination of quarterback Landry Jones and receiver Ryan Broyles is a good place to start. Jones passed for 4,718 yards and 38 touchdowns last season, his second as a starter, and Broyles was his favorite target. The senior had 131 catches for 1,622 yards and 14 touchdowns. Jones was forced into a starting role two years ago as a redshirt freshman when Heisman

Trophy winner Sam Bradford went down with a shoulder injury. That was a tough season for the Sooners, who started ranked third but finished it 8-5. Bradford was one of several key players Oklahoma lost to an injury that season, and Jones wasn’t the only underclassman who played a bigger role than expected. “Now two years from that they have benefited from the maturity and the experience gained from being on the field at an early age,” Stoops said. “Our (offensive) line was young and now two years later they’ve got experience and some maturity to them. Same with Landry Jones. Same with Ryan Broyles.” Earlier this month, Sooners fans must have had flashbacks to Bradford’s injury when linebacker and leading tackler Travis Lewis hurt his left foot in practice. He likely will miss at least the first four games, including a road trip to Florida State on Sept. 17. “It’s a big blow to us, there is no denying it,” Stoops said.

in the eighth. Left fielder Kevin Russo ended the threat with a diving catch to rob Rene Rivera of extra bases. Kevin Whelan picked up his 22nd save with a 1-2-3 ninth. The series continues today with a1:05 p.m. game at Frontier. Adam Warren (6-6, 3.33) is scheduled to start for the Yankees against Triple-A rookie Liam Hendriks (2-3, 6.34), an Australia native. The teams then head to Moosic, where they will play four straight from Monday through Thursday.

Oklahoma has also been coping with the death of linebacker Austin Box, a would-be starter who overdosed on prescription painkillers in May.

Warner Robins, Ga. 6, Rapid City, S.D. 3 Every step around the bases and every swing at the plate made Jake Fromm’s back ache. The 13-year-old slugger from Warner Robins, Ga., had the perfect remedy — take a hack at the first pitch in each of his first two at-bats. Fromm’s homer and four RBIs Saturday in a win over Rapid City, S.D., at the Little League World Series helped him briefly forget about the pain in the back he hurt in practice earlier in the week. “It hurt. I’m going to be honest, it hurt,” Fromm said with a wide grin, showing off braces. The first-inning homer to deep center and the thirdinning sacrifice fly to the base of the center-field wall both came on first-pitch swings. “Swing early, you don’t have to worry about it,” Fromm said. “You put the ball in play, only one swing hurts you.” Those swings hurt South Dakota, too, which was eliminated from contention. Taiwan 20, Aruba 3 Chin-Hao Yang led a 19-hit attack, going for 4 for 4 with three runs. The 5-foot-6 Chin-Hao Yang, one of the tallest players on the Taiwan team, used his height to his advantage after making a leaping stab of Albert Pop’s line drive to save an extra-base hit in the third. The 12-year-old Yang also singled to load the bases before scor-

ing on Chi-Ling Hsu’s firstinning double. The game ended after four innings because of Little League’s 10-run rule. After getting shut out and committing five errors in a loss Thursday against Mexico, Taiwan’s players settled down playing in front of thousands of fans on a sunny afternoon. “We were much more comfortable today. The weather was good. We weren’t as nervous,” Yang said through interpreter Sammy Cheng. “We got used to being in front of that crowd on the field.” Aruba was eliminated, but the team did have a bright spot when an overturned call erased what would have been the game’s final out. The players celebrated after stringing together three RBI hits with two outs before a flyout ended the game. Reliever Tyler Wilkins fanned the game’s final two batters with the tying run on second base to save a 4-2 victory Saturday for Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, victory over Rotterdam, Netherlands, to stay alive in the Little League World Series. Saudi Arabia 4, Netherlands 2 Trailing by two runs, Christopher Gijsbers walked and Diamond Silberie doubled to put runners on second and third for the Netherlands with one out in the bottom of the sixth. Tyler Wilkins then came on in relief to end the rally and eliminate the Netherlands from contention. Tanner Beachy had an RBI single in the third and Hadi Fadlallah had an RBI walk in the fourth, while Marijn Jelsma hit a two-run double in the third inning to account for the Netherlands’ runs. who was killed by insurgent gunfire in Afghanistan in November 2010.

NFL NOTES

Pryor works out for NFL teams

Irsay tweets Peyton might miss opener

Quarterback says he will not appeal his five-week suspension. His lawyer had said earlier that he would. The Associated Press

GREENSBURG — Terrelle Pryor worked out for 17 NFL teams Saturday and said afterward he wouldn’t appeal his five-week suspension at the start of the NFL season. With the former Ohio State quarterback trying to prove he should be taken in Monday’s supplemental draft, spectators included Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin and director of football operations Kevin Colbert and Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay. Pryor, appearing in top shape, worked out at a high school stadium near his hometown of Jeannette, Pa. He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.36 seconds and threw an array of passes. “I would like the opportunity to play quarterback,” he said, “but I’ll do anything that a team needs me to do to win.” Former Ohio State coach Jim Tressel also made an appearance, supporting his former

star player after resigning under pressure amid an NCAA investigation that Pryor and others improperly sold memorabilia. Pryor left school for the NFL after Tressel’s departure. “Did great,” Tressel said of the 6-foot-5, 232-pound Pryor. “He would help lots of teams.” The NFL allowed Pryor into the draft Thursday with the caveat that he wouldn’t be allowed to practice for the team that selected him until Week 6. The quarterback would have faced a five-game suspension had he stayed at Ohio State. Pryor’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told The Associated Press on Thursday that “we accept that voluntarily.” But the player’s attorney, David Cornwell, told ESPN Radio on Friday that it was “likely” the five-game punishment would be appealed once Pryor signed an NFL contract. Pryor said Saturday there would be no appeal. He also said he AP PHOTO would sign with any team that picked him in the supplemental draft instead of trying his Terrelle Pryor works out for NFL football chances again in the regular draft in the scouts at Hempfield Area High School on Saturday, near Hempfield. spring.

Redskins are on a roll Washington has won its first two preseason games.

By JOSEPH WHITE AP Sports Writer

WASHINGTON — John Beck uttered words that seemed out of place in August. Asked when he first knew he might be in for a good night in his first major audition for the Washington Redskins starting quarterback job, he had an interesting answer. “Really, in pregame, I felt our team came ready to play,” Beck said. “I felt like immediately I could tell from the offensive line and skill players that they were ready. And I think that when you’re in warmups and you feel that, you just want to carry it over into the game. I feel like it started even before that first play.” OK, that’s cliche stuff after a big victory, or maybe even after a routine regular-season win, but when was the last time something like that was said about an exhibition game?

It shows just how important the preseason is to Beck in particular and the Redskins in general. Their first two opponents, Pittsburgh and Indianapolis, are accomplished teams with little to prove, and it could be easily claimed that they mailed it in — or at least failed to generate much of a “came ready to play” vibe. Not Washington. A 16-7 win over the Steelers was followed by a 16-3 victory Friday night over the Colts. The Redskins have outgained the opposition by a staggering margin of 867-336. The way NFL fans tend to overreact, there are surely fans in the nation’s capital already eyeing a second trip to Indianapolis in early February. It’s far too early for that, obviously, but there are reasons for optimism from the two games. The defense continues to look strong, even with five starters missing with various injuries. And while fans will surely settle for either Beck or Rex Grossman proving worthy of the starting job, it turns out they’re both off to a good start.

Grossman completed 19 of 26 passes for 207 yards in the first half against the Steelers. Beck countered with a 14-for-17 performance for 140 yards in the first half against the Colts. So where do things stand now? Stay tuned. “I know they have confidence in him because they voiced that to me,” Beck said. “So I know that they’re confident in him. I hope they’re confident in me. I don’t know how it’s going to play out.” It’s hard to fault coach Mike Shanahan for wanting to see a strong preseason. There are so many new key players that need to get used to working together. Besides, the franchise needs any psychological boost it can get after three straight years in last place. And, of course, Beck and Grossman are motivated to do well as they fight for an important role. It’s one Beck has never held before — the No. 1 QB spot at the start of a season. It’s always worth repeating that he hasn’t appeared in a regular-season game since 2007, and he’s pumped to be around a coach who believes in him.

The Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS — Count Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay among those worried about Peyton Manning’s neck. On Saturday morning, Irsay used his Twitter account to acknowledge there is a possibility the Colts will start the season without their No. 1 quarterback. “We r evaluating the QB sitch,(hash)18 healing but we must 2 b prepared 4 early season possibility without him,defense has 2 pick it up,big time!,” Irsay wrote. It’s a notion that will undoubtedly make Colts fans cringe and, until now, seemed inconceivable. Manning, who signed a fiveyear, $90 million contract last month, is the only four-time MVP in NFL history. Since being the No. 1 overall pick in the 1998 draft, Manning has started all 208 regularseason games and 19 more in the playoffs. His streak of 227 consecutive games is the second-longest for a quarterback in league history behind only Brett Favre. But the recovery from May surgery, the second operation on his neck in 15 months, has been slow. Manning attributed part of the problem with not being able to work out with team officials during the 41⁄2-month lockout. The only other time one of his starts appeared to be in jeopardy was in 2008 when Manning needed two operations to remove an infected bursa sac from his left knee. He missed all of training camp and the entire preseason, then struggled early in the regular season before winning his third MVP Award. PITTSBURGH STEELERS PITTSBURGH — Steelers cornerback Ike Taylor has been pleased with the backups’ performance while he’s been out after left thumb surgery. William Gay and Keenan Lewis started against the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday night. First-year player Donovan Warren has had a good preseason. Taylor said he was still on schedule to return for the season opener at Baltimore. “I’ve been working hard to stay in shape,” he said. The Steelers usually keep 10 defensive backs with six cornerbacks and four safeties. The four safeties are Troy Polamalu, Ryan Clark, Ryan Mundy and Will Allen. The regular starting corners, Taylor and Bryant McFadden, along with top reserve Gay should be locks since they are the only ones with experience. But the Steelers also like Warren and thirdround pick Curtis Brown. Warren did not finish practice Saturday because of a tight hip flexor, coach Mike Tomlin said. “I feel like I’ve tried to make the most of my opportunities, maximizing my reps and doing what the coaches have asked me to do,” Warren said. “I want to go out there and make plays to show the guys that I know this defense, that I’m not just a fast learner, but I also can play

the game. BALTIMORE RAVENS BALTIMORE — Baltimore Ravens wide receiver David Reed overcame a rough start against the Kansas City Chiefs on Friday night to make a strong debut in his first game since offseason wrist surgery. Reed dropped his first pass from rookie quarterback Tyrod Taylor, but redeemed himself by tying Lee Evans as the Ravens’ leading receiver with three receptions for 68 yards during a 31-13 preseason win at M&T Bank Stadium. “I was just a little anxious,” Reed said. “I saw Tyrod giving me that look, and it was a good feeling. Then, I just wanted to catch it so bad and get up the field and make a move that I moved too fast and dropped the ball.” Reed set up two touchdowns with catches of 41 and 18 yards, and drew a 25-yard pass-interference penalty. “The first drop, obviously I wasn’t too happy with,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. “And then he came back and made the very next catch and then Tyrod came to him again with a big play. To see the guy come up with that play was really huge. For only practicing a few days, that was great to see.” ARIZONA CARDINALS TEMPE, Ariz.. — Arizona rookie running back Ryan Williams will undergo surgery early next week to repair a ruptured patella tendon in his right knee. The season-ending injury for the second-round draft pick out of Virginia Tech came in the Cardinals’ 28-20 loss at Green Bay Friday night. Coach Ken Whisenhunt says the team will be looking to sign a running back soon, and may keep looking as other teams make roster cuts. Cardinals coaches had been impressed with Williams in training camp, with his hardrunning style and ability to make cuts. His addition was a major reason the team was willing to trade Tim Hightower to the Washington Redskins.

PHILADELPHIA — Eagles wide receiver Jeremy Maclin and defensive tackle Mike Patterson, who both recently recovered from serious health scares, returned to the team on Saturday and could be in uniform for Philadelphia’s regularseason opener. EaglescoachAndyReidsaidboth are actually on target to play in St.

Troubled times

Running back hopes to become Panthers latest top-notch runner.

Red-shirt freshman DeAndrew White is getting a lot of attention at wide receiver.

The Associated Press

By JOHN ZENOR AP Sports Writer

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama is seeking a go-to receiver, a guy with the talent, the drive and the focus to handle high-pressure situations at a powerhouse program A guy like Julio Jones. Or maybe DeAndrew White? The Crimson Tide redshirt freshman is a long way from earning the designation held the past three seasons by Jones, a firstround NFL draft pick. But he has been there, and he has done that. Like the game where North Shore High School in Houston desperately needed a touchdown to break the Texas state record of 72 regular-season victories in a row, held by ex-Tide quarterback Greg McElroy’s alma mater, Southlake Carroll. “With (26) seconds left, he caught a dig route and broke two tackles to score for us to win,” North Side coach David Aymond recalled Friday. Three years later, White is catching balls and the attention of his teammates and, more importantly, Alabama coach Nick Saban during preseason camp. Alabama has more experienced candidates to fill Jones’ role, such as Marquis Maze and Darius Hanks. But Hanks has to sit out the first two games under the NCAA participation rule, and junior college transfer Duron Carter’s academic status remains up in the air two weeks before the opener with Kent State. Saban, meanwhile, has mentioned White several times since camp opened. And that’s a good thing. “It’s a real good indicator when his name keeps coming up that he’s progressing very well,” Saban said. “He’s one of the most difficult guys that we have to cover. He’s done a pretty good job of being consistent catching the football.” Tide linebacker Nico Johnson can attest to the hard-to-cover part of the equation for the 6-foot, 181-pounder. “He’s real fast,” Johnson said. “A couple of times I tried to cover him, but that wasn’t happening. He’s really making plays out there and he can help our team this year. He’s just working hard trying to get better.” Johnson shouldn’t feel bad about being unable to keep up with White, who was the Texas Class 5A 200-meter champion in 2008. Actually, Aymond has a story about that one too. He said a University of Texasbound senior had him by about 5 yards with 20 yards to go “and DeAndrew caught him.” “It’s sheer will,” Aymond said. “He refuses to lose. He has a hate for losing.” White didn’t post huge numbers on the football field in a runoriented offense. He caught 32 passes for 473 yards and nine touchdowns, a year after averaging 23.6 yards on 34 catches. But he was rated the nation’s No. 6 receiver prospect by SuperPrep. Aymond said North Shore has placed 154 players in colleges over the past 17 years, including 65 in the Football Bowl Subdivision, with guys currently at schools like Texas and Oklahoma State. “He’s one of the most prolific athletes we’ve ever had here,” Aymond said. “He was the heart and soul of that track team in terms of leadership. He can really run. He’s got great leaping ability. He’s got great hands, and he’ll make the play that you think he can’t make and it will always be the most opportune time, when you need it the most. That’s one of the attributes of big-time players. When it’s on the line, that’s whose number you want to dial.”

saw that before by anyone.” That incident happened while Larry Coker coached the Hurricanes. When asked about Shapiro on Friday, Coker told The Associated Press he knew about the former booster during his time at Miami but never interacted with him. He didn’t elaborate further. When Randy Shannon took over as coach, Shapiro’s access to practice stopped. Shannon played at Miami in the 1980s and told confidants that he had seen people like Shapiro around the program before, warning assistant coaches that if he ever learned they interacted with the booster, he would fire them personally. “Randy told everyone, players and coaches,” said a former football assistant coach, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he expects to be interviewed by the NCAA. “Deal with him at your own risk. He told me personally, ‘The guy’s poison. Bad news. Trouble.’ And we listened. So then the guy started trying to reach out to players directly more and more. They would come to us and complain that they’d go bowling and he’d show up. It was a running joke around here. We’d ask, ‘See your stalker last night?”’ Shannon, who was fired by Miami in November, declined comment when reached by The Associated Press. Another member of his staff, also speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed that Shannon was not an ally of Shapiro. But, according to Shapiro, some players hung out with him anyway — a thrill for someone who has described himself as a lifelong Hurricanes fan. He was even featured in 1992 by The Miami Herald, which detailed his antics as he sat in the stands watching Miami play rival Florida State in a particularly close game not decided until the final moments. He screamed, “We are the gods of college football!” Whether he still feels that way is anyone’s guess. This much is clear: He’s gone from fan to pariah in a hurry.

PITTSBURGH — If for some reason Pitt junior running back Ray Graham needed another reminder about the elite fraternity he’s about to join, two of the school’s former star running backs, LeSean McCoy and Dion Lewis, dropped by the Panthers’ South Side practice facility Thursday morning, a mere 48 hours after Heisman Trophy winner Tony Dorsett addressed the team. “It’s always good to talk to great backs, somebody that you can relate to,” Graham said. The 5-foot-9, 195-pound Graham has all the tools to become Pitt’s next great feature back, a role once occupied by Dorsett and the two current pros, McCoy and Lewis, who were in town for the Steelers’ preseason game that night against the Philadelphia Eagles. And with first-year coach Todd Graham promising to run plays at warp speed, the numbers could pile up in a hurry for Graham, whose name has already been attached to several preseason AllBig East honors. “I think Ray is ready to take that (feature back) role on,” said co-offensive coordinator Calvin Magee, who also works with the team’s running backs. “He’s quiet about it, but I think he understands the role and he’s focused on it.” If Graham — an Elizabeth, N.J., native who ran for 922 yards and eight touchdowns as Lewis’ backup in 2010 — can be as productive as his predecessors, it will go a long way toward flipping the national perception of Pitt — again. Once known for churning out running backs like Dorsett, Curtis Martin and Craig “Ironhead” Heyward, Pitt transformed into a wide receiver factory a decade ago, with Latef Grim, Antonio Bryant and Larry Fitzgerald gaining national exposure. Recent first-round pick Jon Baldwin aside, the succession of McCoy, Lewis and Graham could re-establish Pitt’s status as a running back’s dream. Graham has appeared in all 25 games of his college career and started twice last fall, as Pitt finished 8-5 and settled for an invitation to the BBVA Compass Bowl. Graham secured a spot next to Dorsett when he put up 277 yards during a 44-17 win over Florida International on Oct. 2, second only to Dorsett’s school-record 303 against Notre Dame in 1975. “Ray has the ability to be a great back,” Magee said. “He’s shown the ability to be a feature guy, but the expectation is that he shows up every day to work and be what we need him to be. And in our case, we need him to be a guy that carries a heavy load.” Graham spoke with McCoy and Lewis for about 20 minutes in the team’s locker room Thursday before the two pros had to depart for meetings — not that they could have talked shop all that easily.

NOTRE DAME

Everett Golson making transition at Notre Dame Freshman quarterback has shown flashes of brilliance during practices. By RICK GANO AP Sports Writer

Notre Dame quarterback Everett Golson sprints out of the pocket during a spring practice in South Bend, Ind.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Freshman Everett Golson showed off his considerable skills Friday at the end of a Notre Dame scrimmage that featured reserves and freshmen. He made a perfect pass, leading the receiver Deion Walker, who made a nice grab for a long gain down the sideline. And then Golson showed off his speed by carrying it in for a touchdown. Maybe Golson is the quarterback of the future for the Irish in Brian Kelly’s spread offense. But this season he’s expected to

mostly be a spectator as Dayne Crist or Tommy Rees run the offense. Kelly said Friday that he’ll announce the starter, either Crist or Rees, on Tuesday. Golson, who was a standout football and basketball player at Myrtle Beach, S.C., High, enrolled early at Notre Dame and got to participate in spring drills. But he’s got a long way to go before he’s running the Irish offense for real. “I feel more comfortable. When I first came in in the spring it was a little bit too much for me, just learning the playbook and trying to ready the defense and everything,” Golson said. “It has slowed down a little bit since I gained that knowledge about the playbook.” Now Golson is trying to master the checkoffs and reads in Kelly’s intricate of-

fense while also learning to take care of the football. Golson and sophomore Andrew Hendrix were part of the quarterback derby when it started in preseason camp, but Crist and Rees with their experience quickly jumped ahead. “Everett had a couple of flashes today,” Kelly said, quickly adding that when Golson had an opportunity to loft a ball to a receiver in the end zone, he threw a line drive pass instead and it was intercepted. “There are great things from both of these kids,” he said of the two backups. “We can’t put them in there yet because they are not able to take great care of the football. Both of these kids have huge upsides. They’re just not ready to do it on a consistent basis.”

Murray defeats Fish to reach final

Scotsman will face winner of Djokovic-Berdych match for tournament title. By JOE KAY AP Sports Writer

MASON, Ohio — Andy Murray overcame a pair of break points late in the second set, then another in the tiebreaker, to defeat American Mardy Fish 6-3, 7-6 (8) Saturday and advance to the final at the Western & Southern Open. Murray will play the winner of the semifinal between No. 1 Novak Djokovic and Tomas Berdych, who advanced despite a sore right shoulder. The Scotsman held on during a 2-hour, 18-minute match on a hot, humid afternoon. Murray

repeatedly bent over and grabbed the back of his legs during a close second set that included six service breaks. Murray will be trying for only his second tournament win this season. He won the title at the Queen’s Club in June. Murray lost his opening match in Montreal last week, but recovered quickly in Cincinnati, where he reached the semifinals for the fifth time in his past six tournaments. He has reached only two finals — at the Queen’s Club and the Australian Open, where he lost to Djokovic. Now, he gets a chance for his second title in Cincinnati — he also won it in 2008, his first Masters series championship. This one was a struggle. Fish has gotten the better of

his matches against Murray lately, beating him three times last year. Plus, he was on one of the best spurts of his career, winning 14 of his last 16 matches coming in. He reached the semifinals with one of the best wins of his career, beating No. 2 Rafael Nadal for the first time in seven matches. The top-ranked American showed right away how badly he wanted to reach the Cincinnati finals for a second year in a row. During the fourth game, Fish came to the net and dived while trying to make a return, landing hard on his right knee. Blood trickled from two scrapes by the knee for the rest of the game, which Murray won to break serve and go up 3-1. It was a telling moment. Fish was the only player who hadn’t

lost a game off his serve during the tournament. It wouldn’t be so easy this time. His game was a little off, and grit would take him only so far — he wound up getting his serve broken four times overall. Murray stayed at the baseline and kept Fish off-balance — the American had 13 unforced errors in the first set. Murray came to the net only once during the set, putting away an overhead in the clinching game. Then, he broke Fish to start the second set, quieting a crowd that was trying to rally him. Fish broke right back, allowing a chance to gain some momentum. From then on, it was a matter of saving points to keep it going, and Murray was a little better at it. There were four straight

another ace, then took advantage of a couple of errant shots to give himself a chance to break Murray and finish off the set. He wasted two break points, sending it to a tiebreaker.

Harvick gets another truck win

Driver avoids trouble in Michigan to win his second straight race in series. By NOAH TRISTER AP Sports Writer

BROOKLYN, Mich. — Kevin Harvick sped past Mark Martin and Parker Kligerman on the inside to take the lead, moving into the clear just before the other two drivers brushed against each other, starting a five-car wreck. “I had cleared them about three quarters of the way through the corner, and by the time I got to the wall, I saw the 32 (Martin) sideways and wrecking,” Harvick said. “It was just a big plume of smoke in the mirror.” Harvick stayed out of danger after that, holding off Timothy Peters to win the NASCAR Truck Series race at Michigan International Speedway on Saturday. It was his second consecutive win in the series and the 11th of his career. Harvick, who won at Pocono Raceway earlier this month, has finished in the top five in all four of his 2011 races on this circuit. Immediately after Harvick passed Martin and Kligerman in his No. 2 Chevrolet, Kligerman made contact with Martin, and Austin Dillon was also caught up in the crash. Moments later, Kli-

german apparently had a hard time seeing out of his car because of damage to the front of it, and he rear-ended Dillon. The wreck led to a caution on lap 91, and there was another after that from laps 98-100 before a green-white checkered finish. “It’s definitely action packed,” Peters said. “The fans definitely got their money’s worth. It’s fun coming here.”

Peters earned his seventh top-10 finish of the year. He’s fourth in the points standings. Miguel Paludo finished a careerbest third in Saturday’s race. “I learned a lot running with Harvick the last two restarts,” Paludo said. “He used the extreme bottom on the first restart, and the second one, I tried to do it. So we’re always learning. It’s a tough series.”

Hoyas ready to move past brawl John Thompson III says he has made peace with coach from Chinese team. The Associated Press

SHANGHAI — Georgetown coach John Thompson III said he has made peace with the coach of a Chinese basketball team over a bench-clearing brawl and denies the melee carried any political connotations. Thompson said Saturday that he met with the Bayi Rockets’ coach on Friday and they shook hands and chatted about basketball and other matters. Thompson doesn’t think the brawl in Beijing on Thursday had any political overtones. The Rockets are affiliated with China’s military, and the fight seemed to embody often contentious U.S.-China relations on the second day of a highly publicized visit by Vice President Joe Biden. “Beijing is behind us, man,” Thompson said Saturday, a day after flying to Shanghai as part of a10-day goodwill trip. “We are excited to be here in Shanghai. And our team was invited to come here to the city of Shanghai to be part of this. Beijing is over.” Asked what he told his players, Thompson said: “I told them, ‘Let’s go to Shanghai and have fun.”’ While China likes to use sports to promote diplomacy, at times

that has been affected by violent flare-ups by players and fans. Tensions ran high Thursday when referees began calling the Hoyas for numerous fouls. After Bayi players knocked guard Jason Clark to the ground, the melee ensued with players throwing punches and chairs. The Hoyas left the court as fans threw water bottles at them, the score tied at 64. Coaches and players representatives from the two teams met at Beijing’s airport Friday to reconcile.

“Yeah, we just got together and shook hands and their coach and me talked about things other than basketball, about families, and we both are ready to move on,” Thompson said. While the Hoyas were originally scheduled to play the Rockets again on Sunday in Shanghai, that match was canceled prior to Thursday’s fight. Instead, Georgetown will face the Liaoning Dinosaurs. “We expect good competition against a very difficult team,” Thompson said.

With muskrat populations continuing to decline across the eastern U.S. and Canada, wildlife officials are continuing to search for a cause. A recent study by the Pennsylvania Game Commission ruled out any issues with reproduction or recruitment.

A recent study by the Pennsylvania Game Commission has shed some light on the mysterious decline of muskrat populations that has been occurring in the state as well as throughout the eastern U.S. and Canada. In the year-long study, which concluded on June 30, PGC officials examined 8,924 muskrat pelts to determine if reproduction and/or recruitment were reasons for the decline. The findings showed that the age ratio between juvenile and adult muskrats (eight juveniles to three adults) was similar to data collected 30 years ago when muskrat populations were much higher. The percentage of adults in the pelts examined – 11 percent, was slightly lower than the 15 percent figure collected from 1984 to 1991. Because adults didn’t show an increase in the population, reproductive and recruitment issues were ruled out as reasons for the decline. “That’s important because it helps us focus on other areas,” said Tom Hardisky, a PGC wildlife biologist. Because reproduction appears fine, Hardisky said they are ruling out the possibility that pharmaceuticals in the water were a cause. Pharmaceuticals in waterways have impacted reproduction of fish and amphibians in certain areas. Hardisky said the muskrat decline is reflected in harvests from trappers over the years. From 1980 to 1983 the average annual muskrat harvest in the state was more than 720,000. From 1984 to 1991 – a time when trapping pressure decreased, the average yearly harvest dropped to 301,329. In 2010 the muskrat harvest was 58,295. Hardisky said the figure is alarming because, although trapping pressure isn’t what it once was, the number of trappers have stabilized yet the harvest has continued to drop. Hardisky believes that much of the mortality is occurring as juvenile muskrats enter into adulthood and aren’t surviving through the winter into the spring. “The number of breeding adults is down, and they’re really getting hammered,” Hardisky said. “The whole eastern U.S. and Canada is experiencing the same thing. There has to be a common denominator that we need to identify.” Hardisky is hoping to obtain approval from the PGC board and funding to perform another study. If granted, Hardisky said the study will try to pinpoint when the mortality is taking place and what is the cause. Predators are an obvious reason, he said. “We need to find out the cause that is making predators so effective at certain times,” Hardisky said. “We need to pinpoint why it’s happening.”

Cuba looking to keep top athletes from leaving Defections have hurt country’s efforts on international level. By ANNE-MARIE GARCIA Associated Press

HAVANA — Cuba’s version of the New York Yankees, the powerhouse Industriales, won the country’s 2010 baseball championship with lights-out pitching by Armando Rivero and Joan Socarras and stellar hitting from Leguim Barroso. All three players have since defected, along with four other members of the championship squad, leaving the punchless team struggling to a losing season this year. Those were hardly isolated cases. Five National Ballet dancers stayed behind in Toronto after a performance in March. In June, soccer player Yosniel Mesa shimmied down a hotel fire escape and hopped into a waiting car in North Carolina. Communist-run Cuba has always had a problem keeping its prodigious sports and cultural talent on the island, not to mention its doctors, lawyers and other professionals. There now is new talk about how to cope with the problem. As President Raul Castro’s government embarks on a wide-ranging initiative to let more people work for themselves instead of the state, there are increasing calls for the same to apply in sports. Cuba must find a way to “stop the robbery of players,” said the legendary former baseball player Victor Mesa, in comments reported in state media. While hundreds of thousands of Cubans suddenly are going into business for themselves, he said, it is unfortunate that “there is no proposal to contract athletes to play abroad.” Mesa, who now manages the team Matanzas in the Cuban league, said he favors letting Cubans play in Venezuela, Nicaragua, Japan, South Korea or Mexico after eight seasons at home. He did not mention Major League Baseball. His comments reflected the chatter among Cuban athletes, coaches and fans, but it was significant that they were even published. In the past, sports people have gotten into trouble for disputing the official line, and talk of defectors was discouraged. Now, Mesa is not alone in airing his views. “Times change ... There are Cuban players who have wanted to test their luck,” Rey Vicente Anglada, former manager of Industriales and the Cuban national team, told Prensa Latina. “They see themselves as having possibilities and see others who have done well.” “I don’t see how that can stop,” Anglada added.

Delegates at April’s Communist Party summit on economic reforms approved the general idea of “a reference to athletes being hired abroad,” according to an official report on the debate, although the idea remains under discussion. There is precedent: In 1999, the Cuban Sports Institute allowed a few volleyball and baseball players to work abroad, especially at the end of their careers, at salaries negotiated by officials. But that opening was shut in 2005. Most Cuban sports players get monthly government salaries of $16. Olympic medalists receive an additional lifetime monthly stipend: $300 for gold medal winners and less for other medalists. The government pays for entertainment, education, health, travel, housing and cars. But athletes take notice when someone like hard-throwing pitcher Aroldis Chapman leaves the island and signs a five-year contract with the Cincinnati Reds for $30 million. Defections drew rare mention recently in state newspapers Granma and Juventud Rebelde, which detailed the “abandonment” by lefty pitcher and reigning league rookie of the year Gerardo Concepcion during a tournament in the Netherlands. After his departure, the national team lost the championship game to Taiwan. The papers also reported that captain Roberlandy Simon and players Joandry Leal and Raydel Hierrezuelo had quit the national volleyball team that was the runner-up at the 2010 World Championship in Italy. The reports said they left the team for personal reasons, but their absence sparked rumors they wanted to defect. Hierrezuelo has since returned to the squad. The Associated Press was unable to speak with the three. Six volleyball players defected from the national team in 2001 during a tournament in Belgium, the beginning of an exodus of many others. All volleyball stars dream of the biggest leagues, said French coach Philippe Blain, whose team has played Cuba four times this season. “For this, the Cubans leave, and for them, there’s the athletic aspect and financial incentives.” From the beginning of the revolution he fomented more than 50 years ago, baseball-loving Fidel Castro placed high value on sporting and cultural talent to burnish his cause abroad. Cuba eliminated for-profit sports in 1961, but Castro put significant resources into a highly organized system of free education and training. Successful athletes are considered heroes and national treasures. When offered millions of dollars to fight Joe Frazier for the heavyweight title in 1972, Cuban

HOCKEY

Fans turn out to mourn hometown Jet forward The Associated Press

BLAIRMORE, Alberta — Nearly 1,000 people remembered Rick Rypien on Saturday in the arena where the Winnipeg Jets forward played his minor hockey. Just days after the 27-year-old tough guy died suddenly in his southern Alberta home, a large crowd turned out on a bright sunny day at Albert Stella Arena for Rypien’s funeral. Rypien, who last played with the Vancouver Canucks, died Monday at his offseason home in Crowsnest Pass, Alberta, where a police official said a call was answered for a “sudden and nonsuspicious” death. Rypien, who struggled with depression, had signed with the Jets during the offseason after six years with the Canucks. Rypien’s death came as a surprise to many who knew him and thought he had turned a corner. They said he was looking forward to playing for the newly relocated Jets. “My overwhelming question is why? How could this happen?” his uncle, Allan Rypien Jr., said.

“He had a great family, great friends and a great job. “He fought this disease with everything he had in him. “If you knew Rick, he fought with everything he had in him. Unfortunately the disease won the battle.” A number of minor hockey players, wearing Crowsnest Pass Thunder hockey jerseys were among those in attendance. An autographed No. 37 jersey from Rypien’s time with the Canucks and a poster from his days with the WHL’s Regina Pats were part of items scattered among bunches of flowers. Rypien’s former Vancouver teammate Kevin Bieksa was one of the pallbearers. His cousin, former NFL quarterback Mark Rypien attended the service, as well. The program, with a smiling photo of Rypien in a blue Vancouver jersey, said simply “Until we all meet again.” Rypien is the second NHL tough guy to die during this offseason. New York Rangers enforcer Derek Boogaard died in May in Minnesota due to an accidental mix of alcohol and the painkiller oxycodone.

boxer Teofilo Stevenson famously responded, “What is $1 million compared to the love of 8 million Cubans?” Cuba has often punched above its weight in amateur competitions. At the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, this island of 11 million people was fifth in gold medals. But three years ago in Beijing, it came in 28th as a wave of defections was felt. There is no official tally of how many have left, but avid fans notice when stars’ names suddenly disappear from the roster for international tournaments. Hundreds of athletes are believed to have abandoned the country in

the last decade, “a throat-slitting against Cuba robbing us of minds, muscles and bones,” Fidel Castro raged in a 2008 opinion column. Speaking after his defection, Yosniel Mesa, the soccer player, said staying in Cuba would have meant setting aside his dreams of going professional and possibly earning millions of dollars. He recounted how his Cuban coaches were in his hotel lobby late at night when he sneaked out of his room to a fire escape. AP FILE PHOTO “I brought a glass in my hand because if they saw me, I could Cuba’s Joandry Leal Hidalgo, right, spikes the ball past Serbia’s say I was going for ice,” Mesa Dragan Stankovic, left, and Ivan Miljkovic at the men’s Volleyball World Championships in 2010. said.

Showers will turn to storms this afternoon as a strong cold front crosses the state. Any sunshine will be early, with things going downhill through the later afternoon hours. The best chance for severe storms will be along and east of Interstate 81. Unlike Friday, the storms will move along at a good clip, keeping flooding threats mostly in check. Still, some of these storms could contain hail and damaging winds. Conditions should settle down quickly after dark, as temperatures tumble into the upper 50s for lows. Cooler weather moves in for the start of next week with overnight lows flirting with the 40s on Tuesday and Wednesday morning. Autumn can't be too far off!

Help men and women overseas save a bundle at their commissaries DID YOU KNOW that members of the military stationed overseas can use expired coupons up to six months past their expiration date at their local commissaries? If you have a lot of coupons that you hate to see go to waste, you can put them all into an envelope or box and mail them to our women and men serving overseas. There are a couple of ways you can do that: • You can send your coupons to North Carolina-based Coups for Troops. The organization receives coupons and then ships them to military bases overseas for use in commissaries. Go to: www.coupsfortroops.com for more information.

RON BARTIZEK

By JIM GALLAGHER St. Louis Post-Dispatch

ST. LOUIS — When the Croy family’s income shrunk by half, they saw only one way out — strict, penny-pinching frugality. Their goal: “Get out of debt and reduce overhead, then grow as the economy gets better,” said Chris Croy. Croy and his wife, Dina, took an ax to their grocery list, killing all but necessities. They made their own baby food and also made baby wipes (out of paper towels, baby oil, soap and water). They used leftover chicken bones to make soup. They cut out their weekly lunch after church. When their four young children imagined a trip to Disney World, Chris Croy pointed to the family budget on the refrigerator door. The money’s not there, he said. Now they’re putting their 4,000-square-foot home in south St. Louis County on sale. They’ll dump their expensive mortgage and move to a rented house less than half the size. And the couple are selling the furniture they’ll no longer need in their downsized lives. “We’re actually quite enjoying the experience of purging so much stuff,” Croy said. “It looks like we’ll cut 70 percent off our cost of living.” There’s a lot of that going on these days. After a binge of borrowing in the last decade, Americans have discovered thrift. And that, unfortunately, is one of the major factors stalling the economic recovery. The great debt pay-down is well under way. Consumers started the last decade about $5.2 trillion in debt. That rose to $12.5 trillion just before the 2008 financial crash. As of March, that was down to $11.5 trillion. Croy is a professional photographer, specializing in portraits and weddings. Times are bad. Not only did the economic slump reduce wedding budgets, but many newly unemployed people with photography hobbies started marketing their services. Before the crash, the Croys took a laid-back approach to family finances. “We really didn’t have a budget, because the cash flow was fine. We weren’t frivolous, and we also weren’t frugal. We’ve learned that frugality is an acquired taste.” As for denied dreams of Disney World, the Croys will make it up by spending more time with their children. “Making life enjoyable for children is really not expensive. We play with them, take them to the park,” Croy said. Unemployment was at 9.1 percent nationally in July. But for those who kept working, family balance sheets are improving. Consumer bankruptcies were

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

Boomers will spend billions to counter aging By DAVID CRARY AP National Writer

NEW YORK — Baby boomers heading into what used to be called retirement age are providing a 70 million-member strong market for legions of companies, entrepreneurs and cosmetic surgeons eager to capitalize on their “forever young” mindset, whether through wrinkle creams, facelifts or workout regimens. It adds up to a potential bonanza. The market research firm Global Industry Analysts projects that a boomer-fueled consumer base, “seeking to keep the dreaded signs of aging at bay,” will push the U.S. market for antiaging products from about $80 billion now to more than $114 billion by 2015. Anti-aging enthusiasts contend that life spans can be prolonged through interventions such as hormone replacement therapy and dietary supplements. Critics, including much of the medical establishment, say many anti-aging interventions are ineffective or harmful. From mainstream organizations such as the National Institute on Aging, the general advice is to be a skeptical consumer on guard for possible scams involving purported anti-aging products. “If someone is promising you today that you can slow, stop or reverse aging, they’re likely trying hard to separate you from your money,” said S. Jay Olshansky, a professor at the University of Illinois-Chicago’s School of Public Health who has written extensively about aging.

down 18 percent in July from a year earlier, continuing a series of declines that began this year, the American Bankruptcy Institute reported. As of March, delinquencies on auto loans were at the lowest rate since the credit agency TransU-

“It’s always the same message: ‘Aging is your fault and we’ve got the cure,’ ” Olshansky said. “Invest in yourself, in the simple things we know work. Get a good pair of running or walking shoes and a health club membership, and eat more fruits and vegetables.” But such advice hasn’t curtailed the demand for anti-aging products, including many with hefty price tags that aren’t covered by health insurance. These include cosmetic surgery procedures at $10,000 or more, human growth hormone treatment at $15,000 per year and a skin-care product called Peau Magnifique that costs $1,500 for a 28-day supply. Another challenge for consumers is that many dietary supplements and cosmetics, unlike prescription drugs and over-thecounter medicines, aren’t required to undergo government testing or review before they are marketed. The Food and Drug Administration and the Federal Trade Commission do crack down at times on egregiously false anti-aging claims, but generally there’s little protection for people who don’t get hoped-for results. Mary Engle, director of the FTC’s division of advertising practices, said her agency focuses on the cases that could cause serious harm, such as bogus cancer treatments that might prompt an ill person to forgo proper care. “Often it doesn’t rise to the level of fraud,” she said. “There are so many problematic ads out there and we really have to pick and choose what we focus on.”

In contrast to the caution of mainstream organizations, there are many vocal promoters of antiaging products and procedures, including the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. It hosts annual conferences in the U.S. and abroad, and claims 22,000 members, mostly physicians. One of the academy’s co-founders is Robert Goldman, a doctor of osteopathic medicine. He contends that much of the resistance to the anti-aging movement comes from sectors of the health and pharmaceutical industries that feel threatened financially — for example by the surging use of over-the-counter nutritional supplements. “It all has to do with who’s controlling the dollars,” he said. Though many anti-aging interventions are expensive, Goldman said people on tight budgets still can take useful steps such as drinking purified water, taking vitamins and using sunscreen. “People should be healthy and strong well into 100 to 120 years of age,” Goldman says in a biographical video. “That’s what’s really exciting — to live in a time period when the impossible is truly possible.” Olshansky, who over the years has been among Goldman’s harshest critics, believes there will be scientific breakthroughs eventually, perhaps based on studies of the genes of long-lived people, that will help slow the rate of aging. In the meantime, Olshansky says, “I understand the need for personal freedom, the freedom to make bad decisions.”

nion began tracking them in 1999. Credit card delinquencies were their lowest since 1996. Debt levels per credit-card borrower dropped 5.8 percent in the first quarter to $4,679, the lowest since 2000. Some claim that the drop in debt comes mainly from defaults, but TransUnion says it’s mainly consumers’ paying off debt. Consumers paid $72 billion more than they borrowed on their cards in 2009 and 2010.

If anything, Americans are getting thriftier. Consumer spending slid 0.2 percent in June, the biggest drop since September 2009, after a tiny a 0.1 percent increase in May. “That’s not necessarily a sign of something good,” said Howard Wall, a former Federal Reserve economist who now directs the Institute for Study of Economics and the Environment at Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Mo.

Fortinsky Schwartz, 58, of Kingston, is still the company’s president but expects the business to wind up in her son’s hands down the line. She’s already scaled back her hours at the factory and opened a yarn shop on Market Street in Kingston called Gosh Yarn It. The day she opened her shop last September, she wrote a

brief note on a green Post-it note and stuck it to the window of her son’s apartment that said: “Take care of the baby.” The note is still there and Eric took the message to heart. He knows he’s working at the mill along Simpson Street with a dedicated staff of 24 employees, each with the company at least 18 years, three for 45 years or longer. He said replacing those employees when they retire will be diffi-

worried about their jobs and pressed by higher prices for food and gasoline. But employers won’t hire until they see more demand for their goods and services, and most of that has to come from consumers. Economists call that “the paradox of thrift.” If they keep saving and cutting debt, consumers will eventually feel comfortable buying again. And that could give the economy

a long-awaited boost. Still, Gary Thayer, an economist and chief macro strategist at Wells Fargo Advisors, doesn’t think consumers are anywhere close to splurging on luxuries. “They’re spending. They’re just spending cautiously, and we’re not at the point where they’re going to spend frivolously,” Thayer said. “I don’t think we can say we’re finished with this.”

Consumers power 70 percent of the economy. Their newfound thrift is an economic ball and chain.

OFFICE COACH

Rise above childish co-workers

By MARIE G. MCINTYRE McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Q: After working as an administrative assistant in human resources for 15 years, I recently transferred into the finance department. I thought that changing jobs in the same company would be easy, but was I wrong! The two co-workers assigned to do my training have completely ignored me. The vice president’s executive assistant makes negative remarks about everyone and has an inflated sense of her own importance. If I mention my previous department, she says, “I don’t care what you did over there, because we do things differently here.” These women seem to enjoy making others feel bad, and I believe they are threatened by my knowledge and experience. How should I handle this? A: Even within the same company, different departments often have very dissimilar cultures. Unfortunately, as you have learned, they can also become territorial and competitive. Along with the apparent departmental rivalry, you are also dealing with some extremely childish adults. Co-workers who greet newcomers with hostility and queen-bee assistants who

bask in the boss’s reflected power are not exactly role models for maturity. To avoid antagonizing these juvenile colleagues, steer clear of pointless power struggles and stupid arguments. Just remain friendly, focus on your tasks, and don’t say much about your previous position. If this place continues to feel like a kindergarten, you can always apply for another transfer.

Q: After 10 years in my job, I was called into my boss’s office and informed that I was being fired. He said they were “no longer confident in my ability to complete the project.” This came as a total surprise, because I had always received positive performance reviews. I was told that if I agreed not to appeal the termination, I would be allowed to resign and be paid for my accumulated vacation. Since I’m 40 years old with a mortgage and a child in college, I resigned in order to get the money. I can’t understand how my employer could be so heartless. Shouldn’t they have told me what I was doing wrong and given me a chance to improve? Do I have any legal recourse?

A: Your former boss is obviously a spineless coward. From a management standpoint, he should certainly have given you advance warning that you were not meeting expectations. Whether this constitutes an illegal termination depends on several other factors, however. Not being an attorney, I can’t offer legal advice, but I will say that your dismissal has a number of questionable aspects. To determine if you actually have grounds for legal action, you should contact the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or an attorney who specializes in labor law. Since protection from age discrimination begins at 40, you do fall into a protected class. In the meantime, one important step is to verify the accuracy of your personnel record. Because you were “allowed to resign,” the official file should cite your reason for leaving as resignation, not termination. This will make a big difference to anyone conducting a background check.

cult because there is no local trained talent pool. But he promises to have jobs for new hires who are willing to learn and to work hard. “Hopefully we’ll get enough young blood and we’ll be a star once again,” Fortinsky Schwartz said. She’s in no rush to see current employees leave, though. They are a key reason the business has survived and thrived over the past six decades. She gave credit to “determination, honesty, hard work and good, loyal employees.” And one of the business’ perceived weaknesses – it’s small size – is another reason Fortinsky Schwartz said the company has been able to stay afloat. “Because we are so small, we get a lot of the business because we can turn on a dime. We have a quick turnaround,” she said, adding that the personal touch is important to customers. Customers call the business and talk to someone who knows them and their order and can respond quickly. Adaptation is another reason the company has outlasted about a half-dozen textile mills that dotted the valley in the 1940s but

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

have since gone out of business or moved away. Besides Fortune Fabrics, only American Silk in Plains Township remains. While upholstery for furniture and automobile seats has been the company’s bread and butter the past few decades – following earlier stints making items including neckwear – Fortinsky Schwartz said other niche markets have been targeted including poker tables and bed throws. “We have tried to find new markets,” Jill said, and while business is down slightly in recent years, the company sold 332,000 linear yards of product last year and reported sales of $3 million. “Things are looking up,” Eric Schwartz said. He said a greater focus has been placed on serving existing customers and bringing on new ones and part of the sales pitch is reminding customers that the company uses only materials made in Amer-

ica. “We’d like to hope that it’s going to mean something,” Fortinsky Schwartz said. “There’s nothing more discouraging than going into a department store and seeing ‘made in China.’ ” She said she has some worries about the business, but mostly driven by outside factors, not its workforce, the equipment or her son. She said her father, who opened the factory in 1949 following World War II with limited resources and few employees, was able to build a formidable business through his perseverance and will to succeed. She said that her son will have hurdles to clear but he’s up for the challenge. “If I am successful and I do get things going, I’d feel like it was much more of an accomplishment. More so than if I took it over when everything was good,” Schwartz said.

SMALL TALK

Market’s down? Time to create a retirement plan By JOYCE M. ROSENBERG AP Business Writer

NEW YORK — Many big investors look at a drop in the stock market as a buying opportunity. Small business owners should consider it an opportunity as well. That’s because it can be a smart time to start a retirement plan. Workers may appreciate the chance to buy stocks while they’re lower — or, if they’re uneasy about the market, to start accumulating cash. And this is a good time of year to set up a plan and get a tax break, even for 2010. The job market is showing signs of picking up. The more hiring starts to gain momentum, the

more people will be looking for work. And if you want to hold on to your best workers, you need to remain competitive. If you’re thinkingofhiring,onewaytogetthebest candidates is to be able to offer them a benefit like an individual retirement account or 401(k). The contributions you make to a retirement plan for your employees aredeductible.Ifyouaskanaccountant or tax attorney about getting more deductions for your business, quite often the first they’re likely to mention is a retirement plan. It’s important to learn about your options before you do anything. IRS Publication 560, Retirement Plans for Small Business, outlines the dif-

ferent plans and their requirements. You can download it from the IRS website, www.irs.gov. But before you make a decision, meet with your accountant or a human resources consultant, or both. They can tell you which kind of plan makes the most sense for your firm. Time and expense may be the biggest concerns of many small business owners. They need a plan that isn’t complicated to set up and run, and that won’t have a lot of fees. Perhaps the best plan for these owners is a SEP, or Simplified Employee Pension. It requires the smallest amount of paperwork and reporting requirements of any

plan. A small business owner can go to a bank or other financial institution to create a SEP. Although there is an IRS form to be completed, it does not have to be filed with the government. With a SEP, the employermakescontributions,but employees do not contribute to these accounts. The next step up is the SIMPLE, or Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees. It enables employers to match employee contributions. There are more IRS requirements to meetwithaSIMPLEthanaSEP.For example, a SIMPLE can only be created by a company with100 employees or fewer who each were paid at least $5,000 during 2010.

A SIMPLE calls for more paperworkthanaSEP,butisstillrelatively easy. More complex plans, like defined contribution plans, require more time and paperwork that must be filed with the government. Youmayneedtohireabenefitsconsultant to do the work. So the added expense will be a consideration for many businesses. There are tax deadlines coming up that make it a good time to be creating a plan: • Sept. 15. Corporations that got extensions of the March15 deadline to file their 2010 returns have until thisdaytomakeretirementplancontributions and get a deduction. • Oct. 1. This is the last day that

most businesses can set up SIMPLEs for 2010. If a company is started after Oct.1and it wants to create a SIMPLE, the IRS says it must set up a plan “as soon as administratively feasible.” • Oct. 17. Owners who are sole proprietors and who obtained extensions of the April 18 deadline to file their 2010 returns have until this day to set up a SEP and take a 2010 deduction. They can also make 2010 contributions for many types of plans and get a deduction. Although Oct.1is the last day for creating a SIMPLE, owners have until the end of the year to set up more complex plans such as defined contribution plans.

MarketPulse MORE BAD NEWS FOR IPOS Need more proof that the IPO market is in a slump? Even an up-and-coming Chinese Internet video company can’t persuade investors to buy its stock. Tudou, the only company to go public this week after a series of failed deals last week, fell almost 12 percent in its debut on Wednesday. The company’s name means “potato” in Chinese. CEO Gary Wang has said that people can become “couch potatoes” watching video on computer monitors just as they can in front of TVs. Most Chinese IPOs have fared poorly this year, partly because of concerns about their accounting methods. Investors have also shied away from IPOs in general recently because those stocks are seen as riskiest when the markets are volatile.

CHECK 0N INVESTORS’ MOODS The gyrations in the stock market are causing big swings in investors’ emotions. Bullish sentiment, or the belief that stocks will rise over the next six months, rose 2.1 percentage points last week. Bearish sentiment fell for the second consecutive week. But don’t expect those good moods to continue. The 419-point plunge in the Dow Jones industrial average on Thursday showed that investors remained worried about the economy in the U.S. Many analysts also predict that the volatility in the stock market will continue over the next few months. “There’s a lack of confidence out there,” says Stephen Carl, principal and head of equity trading at The Williams Capital Group.

AN ALTERNATIVE TO BONDS? The yield on the 10-year Treasury note dropped to a record low below 2 percent this past week as investors looked for safe places to park their money. But, for steady returns, analysts at Credit Suisse say investors should consider stocks with high dividend yields instead. They call companies like AT&T, Altria and Verizon “better than bonds” because they’re stable and they have a higher dividend yield than the S&P 500’s average of 2.2 percent. Many of the “better than bonds” stocks have outperformed the S&P 500 this year, too. Here’s a look at this year’s top performers.

Finding reasons to like stocks

Forget the market’s recent volatility. Doug Cote, chief market strategist at ING Investment Management, says there are plenty of reasons to buy stocks now. Earnings remain strong, he says, mergers and acquisitions are picking up and corporations have a record amount of cash on their balance sheets. He talks about where he’s finding opportunities. What should individuals be doing with their money? We advocate a balanced portfolio, stocks and bonds, but globally diversified. For instance ... this 2008 credit crisis was primarily a developedmarket problem. So, for those investors that had (investments in) emerging markets, not that they were Cote unscathed, but they came out much, much quicker on both the equity side and the bond side. So what we advocate is actually getting back to balance.

Is that because REITs pay high dividends? What we’ve been seeing is all year when equities have done badly, REITs have done reasonably well. REITs have shown tremendous diversification. It’s a surprise to us, but that’s the nature of building a proper portfolio; you don’t know what asset is going to bail you out. ... Another surprise: midcaps. Midcaps were virtually flat (even as large-cap stocks plunged).

You’ve mentioned that you’re encouraged by the recent increase in merger announcements. Why? M&A is another signal that has been contrary to the negative risk environment. M&A has been giving us signals that something is different in the market. And it’s the professional investor, the M&A crowd, that sees entirely different (things) than what the retail investors sees. They see there’s opportunity. Last year was a good M&A environment; this year is a great M&A environment. ... What’s happening right now is that companies are so worried about losing market share that (they’re buying each other). Everyone’s doing extraordinary acquisitions. It’s a contrary signal to the global economic malaise that’s going on, and you have to pay attention, because it means something. It means risk capital is still in charge and it’s going to confound the (bearish investors).

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

Finding winners among the losers

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

IN THE ARENA

OPINION

Only the voters can bring unity to government

From hip to foot, Perry takes a shot

“TEN TO one, spending cuts to tax increases. Who on this stage would walk away from that deal (to reduce the federal budget deficit)? Raise your hand.” Fox television anchor Bret Baier asked that question of eight Republican presidential candidates standing on stage during a recent GOP debate in Ames, Iowa. My slow-motion instant replay shows former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania was first to mindlessly thrust his hand into the air. He was quickly followed by former House Speaker Newt Gingrich of Georgia. Congresswoman Michele Bachmann of Minnesota was third with former governors Mitt Romney of Massachusetts and Jon Huntsman of Utah shamelessly tied for fourth. It was a stunning moment and a great question. Congressman Ron Paul of Texas seemed genuinely reluctant to reject such a lopsided conservative deal, yet he did so. Tim Pawlenty, once governor of Minnesota, saw his nova fade as he missed another opportunity to break from the herd. Slow to respond and straining his peripheral vision, the directionless T-Paw would leave the race 59 hours later. Businessman Herman Cain was last to fall in line. It was a study in body language. Eight influential people who surely had negotiated less attractive deals and subsequently celebrated them, were forced to pretend otherwise, on national television, auditioning for the presidency of the United States. Which Republican would reject the lopsided hypothetical conservative budget deal that raised only one dollar in revenue for every 10 it cut? Ominously, all eight GOP presidential candidates stared into the camera and raised their right hands. It does not bode well for the new Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, which must adopt a budget plan by Nov. 23 that cuts the federal deficit by $1.5 trillion over 10 years. The plan must then be approved by the Congress and President Obama by Dec. 23. Get your Christmas shopping done early. Hug your 401k. And tune in for a rerun of “As the Dow Drops,” featuring the crazy antics of the dysfunctional House of Representatives. Americans have often voted for a divided Congress, handing one chamber to party-A and the other to party-B, in hopes of adding extra-constitutional checks on government power. Divided government had often produced significant advancements in the economic and social life of our nation. Requiring compromise from both parties, they moved America forward, together. “But that was yesterday,” wrote David Stuart Chadwick; “and yesterday’s gone,” sang Jeremy Clyde. Today divided government no longer seeks to advance the interests of the nation, it blocks them. No longer does divided government seek to modulate the necessary issue of the day, it buries it. When eight presidential candidates cannot break free of the right-wing chains that bind and cheer a 10-to-1 budget deal as a significant conservative victory, our government is in crisis. Certainly the rating agency Standard & Poor’s has said as much. “The S&P downgrade, while a reflection of the balance sheet, is as much a reflection of the dysfunction and lack of confidence in the political system. There has to be a change,” said Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz. Schultz sounded the alarm by calling for a nationwide boycott of donations to political campaigns until elected officials begin working together to solve America’s problems. The widespread support Shultz is receiving is certainly a start, but in the end voters get the government they deserve. Limiting contributions might have some impact, but only the American people, voting with unlimited enthusiasm to change the mess in Congress, can begin to solve this dire problem. It can be done. I’ll “bet ya,” 10 to 1. Kevin Blaum’s column on government, life and politics appears every Sunday. Contact him at kblaum@timesleader.com.

McClatchy Newspapers

ASHINGTON — Lisa Banks feels hopeless. She’s lost an essential part of her identity: Her status as a proud full-time employee is gone. Ever since the 44-year-old

Germantown, Md., resident was laid off from her job as an administrator for a federal contractor in May 2009, she’s sent out hundreds of resumes, but only had four interviews. She says she’s depressed enough to try to seek out psychological help. But no luck there either: She doesn’t have insurance to pay for it.

“I’ve worked all my life. I’ve been a decent person,” she said. “(But now) I feel as if I’m invisible. Like I’m not worth anything to society anymore.” The one consolation she can take is that she’s not alone. Statistics show that 14 million unemployed Americans still suffer the effects of the recession. Of the jobless, more than 44 percent have been out of work for 27 weeks or more, a time frame the Bureau of Labor Statistics considers long term. The average unemployed American has been out of a job for a record 40.4 weeks, a figure that’s grown steadily in the past 3 1/2 years — from 17.5 weeks in January 2008. As Americans such as Banks struggle to find jobs, long-term unemployment is wreaking a psychological toll across the United States, with experts and a number of studies saying the jobless are

especially at risk of depression, increased anxiety and physical ailments. The National Alliance on Mental Illness, an advocacy group, said in a March report that a cumulative $1.8 billion from mental health services was cut in 32 states and the District of Columbia from 2008 to 2010. “As a result, we’ve seen increasing burdens on other systems that are left to respond to people in crisis, like emergency rooms, like law enforcement and jails and prisons and homeless shelters,” said Ron Honberg, the group’s director of policy and legal affairs. “Really the impact has been very negative. We’re talking about extremely vulnerable people,” he added. He said states hadn’t made it easy for people, especially low-income resiSee JOBLESS, Page 6E

True cost of Afghan, Iraq wars is anyone’s guess By NANCY A. YOUSSEF McClatchy Newspapers

WASHINGTON — When congressional cost-cutters meet later this year to decide on trimming the federal budget, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq could representjuicytargets.Buthowmuchdo the wars actually cost the U.S. taxpayer? Nobody really knows. Yes, Congress has allotted $1.3 trillion for war spending through fiscal year 2011 just to the Defense Department. There are long Pentagon spreadsheets that outline how much of that was spent on personnel, transportation, fuel and other costs. In a recent speech, President Barack Obama assigned the wars a $1 trillion price tag. But all those numbers are incomplete. Besides what Congress appropriated, the Pentagon spent an additional unknown amount from its $5.2 trillion base

“The debt crisis has been a game changer in terms of defense spending.” Laura Peterson A national security analyst at Taxpayers for Common Sense

To be sure, the costs are staggering. According to Defense Department figures, by the end of April the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan — including everything from personnel and equipment to training Iraqi and Afghan security forces and deploying intelligence-gathering drones — had cost an average of $9.7 billion a month, with about two-thirds going to Afghanistan. That total is roughly the entire annual budget for the Environmental Protection Agency. Because of the complex and often ambiguous Pentagon budgeting process, it’s nearly impossible to get an accurate breakdown of every operating cost. Some funding comes out of the base budget; other money comes from supplemental appropriations. But the estimates can be eye-popping,

budget over that same period. According to a recent Brown University study, the wars and their ripple effects have cost the United States $3.7 trillion, or more than $12,000 per American. Lawmakers remain sharply divided over the wisdom of slashing the military budget, even with the United States winding down two long conflicts, but there’s also a more fundamental problem: It’s almost impossible to pin down just what the U.S. military spends on war. See WARS, Page 6E

WE ALL KNOW that stereotyping is wrong and a rule against it should extend beyond race, religion, gender and ethnicity. To cast an entire population in the same light based on geography is unfair and should be declared unacceptable. Freespeech considerations would probably keep us from actually passing a law against such stereotyping but we might be able to build a groundswell of popular opinion in opposition to gross generalizations made about people who live in a particular state or region. New rules for civility and, yes, even political correctness would make it offensive for non-Northeasterners to say we are aloof, provincial, tree-hugging liberals. Or for anyone who resides north of the Mason-Dixon Line to portray Southerners as mean-spirited bigots who mask their contempt for those of us they call “Yankees” with disingenuous smiles and a syrupy drawl. We’d just ban all this nonsense except for one problem. There are always those tiny instances of behavior that crop up here and there and reinforce the stereotype. As an example of this we have to look no further than Texas Gov. Rick Perry and his first week on the national campaign trail seeking the Republican nomination for a run at the presidency. Gov. Perry is being described in the national media in terms often employed by reporters writing about Texans. Perry, the media have noted repeatedly, walks with a swagger, talks with a twang, exudes self-confidence to the point of cockiness. He is, to read the news reports, a loud, tall, gunslinging cowboy who has no use for the “guvmint” he wants to run and who can’t stop bragging about the Texas way of doing things. We could cry “foul” to these characterizations if Perry did not hit the Midwest state fair and New Hampshire coffee klatch circuit shooting off his mouth and acting like man whose picture could illustrate the dictionary definition of “stereotypical Texan.” Loud? Guilty. Tall? Over six feet, which is taller than a lot of movie cowboys. Prone to braggadocio? You don’t win elections in the Lone Star State posing as a shrinking violet. Gunslinging? Well, he did shoot a coyote last year while jogging near Austin, Texas. No, the governor doesn’t need media stereotypers to define his looks, style and behavior. Fact is, ol’ Rick is doing a pretty good job playing his West Texas self as he lives up (or down, depending on your point of view) to the expectations of conservative Republicans who love what he’s saying and doing and liberals who wish that coyote had dodged the bullet and taken a chunk out of Perry’s hide. Perry has been, ahem, somewhat loose-lipped so far. His first attention-getting stunt was to put Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke in the same class as a Western movie railroad baron. “If this guy prints more money between now and the election, I don’t know what you all would do to him in Iowa, but we would treat him pretty ugly down in Texas,” said Perry. “Pretty ugly?” Now that’s about as old-school Texan as it gets, invoking images of the worst that could happen to a shady banker from back east who wanders into a Texas saloon. While he was at it, Perry suggested that Bernanke’s work in Washington, D.C. might be tantamount to treason. Those remarks caused fellow Texas Republican Karl Rove to suggest the governor might tone it down a bit. “Gov. Perry is going to have to fight the impression that he’s a cowSee CONNOR, Page 6E

OUR OPINION: VICTORY LEAGUE

A chance to be part of the action

HE AREA’S startup Victory Baseball League – which is neither aimed at children nor focused solely on baseball – sounds like a winner of a program, one that communities across the country might want to copy. In a nutshell, the Victory league’s organizers in the Wyoming Valley intend to provide an athletic and social outlet for people with mental and physical disabilities who have outgrown youth programs. After all, no one “ages out” of wanting to have fun, right? Supporters held the league’s first game Thursday at a special diamond in Pittston Township that is fully handicapped accessible. Suffice it to say, the event was a hit. As the mother of one player, 32year-old Timmy Kelly, explained, he had long watched sports, including contests in which his relatives competed, and wanted to be part of the action. “He just wanted to be out there,” she said. Victory league co-founder Fred DeSanto, who two decades ago introduced Challenger Baseball to the area, said he was inspired earlier this year by a similar comment

from someone yearning to be “out there.” A former Challenger player, now an adult, told DeSanto that he missed playing baseball. (Little League’s Challenger Baseball sets a maximum age limit of 21 for its players who are still in high school). DeSanto and his Victory collaborators see the league as another way to extend the playing field, with its 30 or so participants ranging from young adult to AARP-eligible. The league likely will be expanded to include other, yearround activities, such as basketball, bowling, bocce ball and dances, according to an article by staff writer Jerry Lynott in Friday’s edition. Donations are being accepted to defray the league’s initial costs, estimated at $5,000 to $6,000. Let’s hope the contributions will roll in, and Victory’s young-at-heart competitors can stay “out there” on the field of play for a very long time.

OTHER OPINION: FAMINE AID

Somalia needs our help now

HAT DO YOU do with a Somalia? Americans have wanted to have as little to do as possible with the East African nation ever since19 U.S. soldiers were killed in the 1993 Battle of Mogadishu, made famous in the 2001 movie “Black Hawk Down,” which was based on a book by former Philadelphia Inquirer reporter Mark Bowden. But Somalia won’t let this country, or any other, it seems, forget that it is still here. It has become the very definition of anarchy, with only a semblance of a government that can do little to control the terrorists, pirates and warlords who make life in the country miserable. The world also can’t forget Somalia because it is the most destitute of the nations in the Horn of Africa, suffering from the region’s latest drought and famine. The United Nations says more than 3.2 million Somalis, half the nation’s population, are in need of food and other aid. More than 600,000 Somalis have fled to neighboring countries. The world has responded to the East African crisis, which has affected about 12 million people in all. But the aid is not arriving as quickly as it should. As a result, more than a half-million children, many of them in Somalia, are fighting severe malnutrition and could die.

UNICEF recently reported that it faced a $200 million shortfall in emergency funds needed for the region, including more than $120 million for Somalia alone. Afshan Khan, a UNICEF director, urged potential donors to focus on the most vulnerable victims. “Children don’t choose where they are born, to whom they are born, what type of government rules them,” she said. Still, it’s understandable that some might hesitate to give to relief funds, knowing there is a good chance the aid might never reach its intended recipients. The U.N. World Food Program acknowledged last week that much of the food meant for starving Somalis is being stolen and sold in markets at prices the poor could never afford. Piles of food have been seen in Mogadishu markets with stamps showing the items came from the WFP, America’s USAID or the Japanese or Kuwaiti governments. Nevertheless, people must continue to give, hoping steps can be taken to get more of the aid to victims. No one knows when things will be better. Somalia’s civil war has lasted 20 years and has been exacerbated by U.S. efforts, aided by Ethiopia, to uproot the Islamic terrorist group al-Shabab. But the famine victims can’t wait for better days. They need help now. The Philadelphia Inquirer

Philly mayor meets attacks by black youths head on SOMEONE AT long last has had the courage to tell the plain, honest truth about race. After mobs of young blacks rampaged through Philadelphia committing violence – as similar mobs have rampaged through Chicago, Denver, Milwaukee and other places – Philadelphia’s black mayor, Michael A. Nutter, ordered a police crackdown and lashed out at the whole lifestyle of those who did such things. “Pull up your pants and buy a belt ’cause no one wants to see your underwear or the crack of your butt,” he said. “If you walk into somebody’s office with your hair uncombed and a pick in the back, and your shoes untied, and your pants half down, tattoos up and down your arms and on your neck, and you wonder why somebody won’t hire you? They don’t hire you ’cause you look like you’re crazy,” the mayor said. He added: “You have damaged your own race.” While this might seem like it is just plain common sense, what Mayor Nutter said undermines a whole vision of the world that has brought fame, fortune and power to race hustlers in politics, the media and academia. Any racial disparities in hiring can only be due to racism and discrimination, according to the prevailing vision, which reaches from street corner demagogues to the august chambers of the U.S. Supreme Court.

COMMENTARY

S&P downgrade poor reflection on America’s politicians STANDARD & POOR’S decision to downgrade America’s credit rating from AAA to AA+ says far more about our dysfunctional political system than about U.S. markets. Washington is injecting uncertainty and instability into an economy that otherwise can be quite resilient in the face of change. Many businesses are doing well and making profits. But the economy isn’t growing because businesses are uncertain about the how best to use those profits and other resources. It’s the uncertainty over government policy and action that causes investors to lose confidence in the market. For example, imagine a firm earning a 6 percent return on investment. If the owner is unsure how much the new health care legislation will cost him, he will forgo hiring new workers or reinvesting his profits in job-creating technology. Almost everything Washington has done for the last eight years has been seen by business as a long-term threat to American prosperity. The previous administration brought us into two wars and passed costly policies such as the Medicare drug-benefit provision. The current administration picked up where President George W. Bush left off, adding reckless monetary policies and bailouts to boot.

Standard & Poor’s wasn’t fooled. In response to the downgrade, Geithner claimed that S&P had demonstrated “a stunning lack of knowledge about basic U.S. fiscal EMILY SKARBEK budget math” and had “handled themselves very poorly.” But it’s not S&P who had handled themselves poorly; it’s our political These and other actions have left our leaders.

Stop making excuses and shoulder blame WE HAD reversed the recession, avoided a depression, got the economy moving again. ... But over the last six months, we’ve had a run of bad luck. – President Obama, Decorah, Iowa, Aug. 15 A troubled nation wonders: How did we get mired in 9.1 percent unemployment, 0.9 percent growth and an economic outlook so bad that the Federal Reserve pledges to keep interest rates at zero through mid-2013 – an admission that it sees little hope on the horizon? Bad luck, explains our president. Out of nowhere came Japan and its supply-chain disruptions, Europe and its debt problems, the Arab Spring and those oil spikes. Kicked off, presumably, by various acts of God (should He not be held accountable too?): earthquake and tsunami. (Tomorrow: pestilence and famine. Maybe frogs.) Well yes, but what leader is not subject to external events? Were the minor disruptions of the current Arab Spring remotely as damaging as the Arab oil embargo of 1973-74? Were the supply disruptions of Japan 2011 anything like the Asian financial collapse of 1997-98? Events happen. Leaders are elected to lead (from the front, incidentally). That means dealing with events, not plaintively claiming to be their victim. Moreover, luck is the residue of design, as Branch Rickey immortally observed. And Obama’s design for the economy was a near-$1 trillion stimulus that left not a trace, the heavy hand of “Obamacare” and a flurry of regulatory zeal that seeks to stifle everything from domestic energy production to Boeing’s manufacturing expansion into South Carolina. He sowed, he reaps. In Obama’s recounting, however, luck is only half the story. His economic recovery was ruined not just by acts of God and (foreign) men, but by Americans who care nothing for their country. These people, who inhabit Congress (guess what party?), refuse to set aside “politics” for the good of the nation. They serve special interests and lobbyists, care only about the next election, place party ahead of country. Indeed, they “would rather see their opponents lose than see America win.” The blaggards! Charging one’s opponents with bad faith is the ultimate political ad hominem. It obvi-

COMMENTARY CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER ates argument, fact, logic, history. Conservatives resist Obama’s social-democratic, avowedly transformational agenda not just on principle but on empirical grounds, as well – the economic and moral unraveling of Europe’s socialdemocratic experiment, on display today from Athens to the streets of London. Obama’s answer? He doesn’t even engage. That’s the point of these ugly accusations of bad faith. They are the equivalent of branding Republicans enemies of the people. Texas Gov. Rick Perry has been rightly chided for throwing around the word “treasonous” in reference to the Fed. Obama gets a pass for doing the same, only slightly more artfully, regarding Republicans. After all, he is accusing them of wishing to see America fail for their own political gain. What is that if not a charge of betraying one’s country? The charge is not just ugly. It’s laughable. All but five Republican members of the House – moderate, establishment, tea party, freshmen alike – voted for a budget containing radical Medicare reform knowing it could very well end many of their careers. Democrats launched gleefully into “Mediscare” attacks, hardly believing their luck that Republicans should have proposed something so politically risky in pursuit of fiscal solvency. Yet Obama accuses Republicans of acting for nothing but partisan advantage. This from a man who has cagily refused to propose a single structural reform to entitlements in his three years in office. A man who ordered that the Afghan surge be unwound by September 2012, a date that makes no military sense (it occurs during the fighting season), a date not recommended by his commanders, a date whose sole purpose is to give Obama political relief on the eve of the 2012 election. And Obama dares accuse others of placing politics above country? A plague of bad luck and bad faith – a recalcitrant providence and an unpatriotic opposition. Our president wrestles with angels, monsters of mythic proportions. A comforting fantasy. But a sorry excuse for a failing economy and a flailing presidency.

COMMENTARY

Ironically, the whole idea of flash mobs was originally to have fun. Spontaneous largescale dancing. A worldwide pillow fight. But somehow that has been turned on its ear. What appealed to adventurous fun now appeals to disenfranchised anger or boredom. David Cameron recently told Parliament. “But it can also be used for ill.” And that’s your problem. The only thing that seems certain is that the world is going so much faster now, snap decisions, snap judgments, snap riots, snap coverage. We are teaching a dangerous, subtle message, that we can see everything in an instant, know everything in an instant, have an opinion on everything in an instant. With that, inevitably, comes desire for everything in an instant – including mayhem, violent thrills or whatever products you don’t have but could loot. The 21st-century mob.

Tourney creates scholarships

ongratulations to the two recipients of the inaugural Kim Skiro Scholarship Award. The money for these scholarships was raised as a result of a soccer tournament held in Kim’s honor last November. The tournament’s overwhelming success was a result of countless volunteers. I could never thank these people enough for all of their hard work.

MOUNTAIN LAURELS Mountain Laurels is a regular series of letters from readers conveying thanks to individuals or groups for their support, help or kindness.

To become eligible to receive a scholarship, a student must have played in the Wyoming Valley Soccer League for at least five years and have filled out a scholarship application. A panel reviewed the applications and chose the winners. Academics, school activities and community services weighed heavily. After close scrutiny of the applications, this year’s recipients were decided: Brittany Kulesza and Brian Suchoski. Each student received $1,500 to use toward their college educations. Both are 2011 graduates of Coughlin High School. Brittany will be pursuing an English degree at the University of Pittsburgh. Brian will pursue an engineering degree from Lehigh University. These individuals had set the bar extremely high and are very deserving of their scholarship awards. Good luck to Brittany and Brian!

We look forward to another successful tournament this year. We can never have too many volunteers or sponsors. Students who meet the criteria are encouraged to apply for next year’s scholarship awards. Visit the Plains Soccer website for more information. Thank you again to all of those who made this happen. Special thanks go to Bill Poray and Don Prescavege; without their efforts none of this would have been possible. They are positive role models not only for our youths, but also for adults.

For sake of ‘productivity,’ U.S. workers getting flattened by speedup MIND RACING at 4 a.m.? Checking work email at a stoplight? Dreading once-pleasant diversions, such as dinner with friends, as just one more thing on your to-do list? Guess what: It’s not you. It’s the speedup. To keep profits climbing in tough times, corporations have laid off staff and piled more and more work onto the remaining employees. Webster’s defines speedup as “an employer’s demand for accelerated output without increased pay,” and it used to be a household word. Bosses would speed up the line to fill a big order, goose profits or punish a restive workforce. Workers recognized it, unions (remember those?) fought it – and, if necessary, walked out over it. Now the word we use is “productivity,” and pundits across the political spectrum revel in the fact that year after year, American companies are wringing more value out of their employees than they did the year before. Just counting work that’s on the books (never mind those 11 p.m. emails), we now put in an average of 122 more hours per year than Brits, and 378 hours (nearly 10 weeks!) more than Germans. Worldwide, almost everyone except Americans has, at least on paper, a right to at least one day a week off, paid vacation time and paid ma-

COMMENTARY MONIKA BAUERLEIN AND CLARA JEFFERY ternity leave. Sure, but we all have to do more with less – employers struggling to survive the downturn are just tightening their belts, right? That’s true for some. But in the big picture, the data show a more insidious pattern. After a sharp dip in 2008 and ’09, U.S. economic output quickly recovered to near pre-recession levels. The United States did better than most of its fellow G-7 economies. But U.S. workers didn’t see the benefit: During the recession far more people here lost their jobs than anywhere else, and far fewer were hired back once the recovery began. And who knows what will happen now? Yes, some positions always get “rationalized” away, thanks to technological or organizational improvements – and, of course, offshoring remains a major factor. But increasingly, U.S. workers also are falling prey to what we’ll call offloading: cutting jobs and dumping the work onto the remaining staff.

Workforce down, output up: No wonder corporate profits are up 22 percent since 2007, according to a new report by the Economic Policy Institute. To repeat: Up. Twenty-two. Percent. To understand how we got here, first consider the Ben Franklin-Horatio Alger-Henry Ford ur-myth: To balk at working hard – really, really hard – brands you as profoundly un-American. All well and good. But today, the driver is no longer American industriousness. It’s something much more predatory. As Rutgers political scientist Carl Van Horn told the Associated Press recently: “The employee has no leverage. If your boss says, ‘I want you to come in the next two Saturdays,’ what are you going to say – no?” Which brings us to another shared delusion: multitasking. It seems the obvious fix – I’ll just answer this email while I help with your homework. But research shows most of us cannot actually multitask. And not only that: If you attempt to multitask constantly, your mental circuitry erodes and your brain loses its ability to focus. Not that there aren’t winners in the speedup economy. Although incomes for 90 percent of U.S. workers have stagnated or fallen for the last three decades, the wealthiest 0.1 percent are making 6.4 times as much as they did

companies face the same pressures that ours do – yet in Germany’s vigorous economy, for example, six weeks of vacation are de rigueur, weekend work is a last resort and companies’ response to a downturn is not to fire everyone, but to institute Kurzarbeit – temporarily reducing employees’ hours and restoring them when things start looking up. Sure, they lag ever so slightly behind us in productivity. But ask yourself: Whom does our No. 1 spot benefit? Exactly. So maybe it’s time to come out of the speedup closet. Rant to a friend, neighbor, co-worker. Hear them say, “Me too.” That might sound a little cheesy. But if you’re in an abusive relationship – which 90 percent-plus of the U.S. currently is – the first step toward recovery is to admit you have a problem.

in 1980. And that 22 percent increase in profits? Most of it accrued to a single industry: finance. In other words, all that extra work you’ve taken on – the late nights, the skipped lunch hours, the missed soccer games – paid off. For them. This will keep up as long as we buy into three fallacies: One, that to feel crushed by debilitating workloads is a personal failing. Two, that it’s just your company or industry struggling – when in fact what’s happening to hotel maids and salesclerks is also happening to project managers, engineers and doctors (visit our website to read their tales). Three, that there’s nothing anyone can do about it. We got to this point because of decades of political decisions. We’ve turned over the financing of elections to wealthy interests; we’ve made it harder for unions to organize; we’ve deregulated Wall Street and then completely wimped out on re-regulating it after the financiers nearly destroyed the global economy. But there is another way. European

t was with growing frustration that I read a recent Associated Press article detailing how cuts in state aid for public schools hit Pennsylvania’s poorer school districts the hardest, slashing nearly three times as many dollars in aid per student compared with wealthier districts. Gov. Tom Corbett and the Legislature cut $860 million, or 16 percent, from public schools. This hurt all schools, but if you are not fortunate enough to live in a wealthy area, the governor’s cuts are even more devastating. The AP’s analysis of state data shows the poorest 150 school districts, or 30 percent of the state’s total, lost $581 per student. The wealthiest 150 school districts lost $214 per student. The hardest-hit districts lost more than 10 times the money per student as some other districts. Even though they need the funding the most, the governor chose to ignore the needs of lowincome areas. Does this make sense to you? In the 12 counties of Northeastern Pennsylvania, the budget cuts mean a loss of around $70 million to school districts. Until now, the number of Pennsylvania students performing at or above grade level on state tests increased as state funding for public schools increased. Now, these disproportionate budget cuts threaten to stop this progress. Shortchanging students who are most in need of resources and forcing already-strapped local taxpayers to fill the gap is no way to govern. It’s time for the governor to work on real school funding

solutions that benefit all students. Undoing the academic gains of the last few years does not represent real reform. Without a renewed investment in public education, it will become very difficult to provide a quality education for all students.

Movie fan says kids not welcome

am an avid movie fan and love going to the movies at least once a week by myself or with my family. I always try to be courteous by turning off my cell phone and refraining from talking and opening candy wrappers during the movie. My complaint is with people who bring their small children to the theater and allow them to talk or cry during the movies. I love children, and am a father, but I have gotten babysitters for my children when I wanted to see a movie. And if I couldn’t get one, I just didn’t go. Children younger than 6 should not be allowed in a movie unless it is a children’s movie. J. Lamark Forty Fort

Men can help end cycle of abuse

t starts with men. While reading our local newspapers recently, I came across a couple of articles citing arrests for domestic abuse, and it brought back memories of the many calls I fielded while a caseworker at Help Line, of discussions held through the years with staff at the Domestic Violence Service Center and of incidents brought to my attention years ago while facilitating a batterer’s program at Family Service Association. Most chilling is the memory of one of my co-workers whose life was ended by an intimate partner. There are many questions about what contributes to intimate partner abuse: children being raised in a violent home only to become future batterers, economic frustration, substance and alcohol abuse, low self-esteem and a need to control. Intimate partner abuse is not exclusive to social class, education, ethnicity or geography. The reasons are pervasive, but there is only one very clear answer: It starts with men. Yes, I know there are incidents of partner abuse precipitated by women, but undeniably men have perpetrated an enormous majority of the actions throughout history. The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence notes that 85 percent of all victims of domestic violence

are women. Nationally, nearly one-third of female homicide victims that are reported to police are killed by an intimate partner. Luzerne County is not exempt. The Administrative Office of the Pennsylvania Courts shows that there was an increase of 34 percent for protection-from-abuse filings in 2009 over 2008. In 2010, our records for Luzerne County show an increase of 31 percent over 2009. We have a problem. So, too, does the nation, and if we as men don’t act against it, the problem will perpetuate into the next generation. The coalition’s website notes: “Boys who witness domestic violence are twice as likely to abuse their own partners and children when they become adults.” I am reminded of a discussion with a staff person of our local Domestic Violence Service Center many years ago. She told of a young boy, aged 8 to 10 years, who was at the shelter waiting for his mother to come out of the restroom. The boy became impatient, banged on the door and stated, “If you don’t come out right now, I’ll punch you in the face.” This is not a lesson we want to perpetuate. If we are to adequately address partner abuse, we must confront the source. It is incumbent upon the overwhelming majority of men who do not abuse, and who understand the devastating impact of assaulting your loved ones, to speak out against domestic violence. Learn about it. Take a stand. Be vocal. The safety of women and our children depends on what we do today. The Family Service Associ-

ation of Wyoming Valley provides batterer’s intervention services for men. For more information on the program, call 823-5144.

Don’t expect gov’t to solve U.S. debt

aving observed two branches of our government deal with the “debt crisis,” we should all be amused: After all, who doesn’t like a well-orchestrated clown show? I have a few reasons for my cynicism. One of the most obvious is the kicking-the-can-down-theroad approach. The other is the lack of principle. We are supposed to be, via Abe Lincoln’s vision, a government “of the people, for the people and by the people.” That said, I wonder why I hear politicians tell us what to think for our good and how to fix “us,” but they never pay attention to what we want. For instance, almost nothing is done to help small businesses succeed. Please find me a small business owner who believes government is listening. What I constantly hear, from the people who actually do create jobs, is concern about the caliber of young employees. They are increasingly uneducated and lazy,

lacking any real skill that employers are seeking. I have heard this complaint from numerous employers across many fields. Politicians and their pundits use the “youth” as means to push for their own agendas, or to demonize their opponents’, but no one really confronts young people or the adults in authority as to why so many young people are completely unprepared to carry our society forward. Here’s an interesting observation: How many of our elected officials actually leave public life to reintegrate into the society they helped to “fix?” They leave office, especially at the federal level, as multimillionaires. Democrats do not retire to the inner cities or depressed rural areas. Republicans do not retire to factory or entry-level jobs. These politicians are not losing their livelihoods and job prospects when employers move overseas to markets with no environmental controls or labor laws. (Although I have to admit, outsourcing our politicians to a banana republic with the threat of violent unrest does sound appealing.) In short, this government and its “solutions” do not reflect anything to which any hardworking, responsible citizen of any political persuasion could agree. I believe it is time to stop the partisan, dog-and-pony-show election that occurs about every four years. The people who actually work and do something productive in society need to demand answers and results on their terms. Joseph Martin Berwick

dents, to find easy access to information about their mental health services, which he called “so fragmented” and “incredibly difficult to understand, let alone navigate.” “Lots and lots of people with serious mental health illnesses fall through the cracks. and we see the evidence around us all the time,” Honberg said. Officials in the federal government who handle mental health issues echo his group’s concerns. They saw the psychological effects of the economy begin to pick up in December 2007. Katherine Power, the director of the Center for Mental Health Services at the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, an agency of the Department of Health and Human Services, said that around a third of the 62,000 monthly calls to the 143 suicide-prevention telephone call centers that her agency supports around the United States were related to economic distress. Calls about financial anxiety to those centers have increased around 5 percent to 10 percent annually in the past three years. She also said she was concerned about the negative ramifications of state budget cuts for mental health services. “It’s very significant in terms of state revenues not being available to fund services, and at the same time the need for services is clearly evident,” Power said. Congress has extended unemployment benefits repeatedly in recent years, up to 99 weeks, though further extensions aren’t likely as lawmakers wrestle with huge budget deficits. Experts on the psychology of unemployment said America was falling short on addressing the issues raised by those out of work. Experts also warn that if the United States ignores the issue, the country will pay a price in the future with increased costs for mental health coverage. “When you have 14 million people who are unemployed and you extrapolate those figures going forward to the future, we’re going to have a lot of health problems, a lot of psychological health problems to cope with,” said Bob Leahy, a psychologist and the head of the American Institute for Cognitive Therapy in New York. Jerald Jellison, a professor of psychology at the University of Southern California, said that when people lost their jobs, they tended to withdraw from society, shy away from seeing friends and stay holed up at home. “Even when you meet old friends, they’re probably going to be asking you, ‘Have you found a job yet?’ And even if they’ve learned not to ask you that, you

boy from Texas,” said Rove, a critic of Perry in the past, on Fox News. “This simply added to it.” If Perry heard Rove and others recommend moderation he either ignored the advice or forgot it by Thursday when he boldly pronounced scientific evidence of global warming a fraud. Perhaps he missed the stories that same day reporting the continuing Texas heat wave, or the ongoing drought that has caused farmers and ranchers $5.2 million in losses. Record-high temperatures,

know that’s what’s on their mind,” he said. “And so rather than face that embarrassment and awkwardness, that’s one of the other forces that drives people to withdraw and not participate in social activities,” he added. But that behavior is usually self-defeating, because often the best way to get back into full-time work is by reaching out to friends and contacts to scope out promising leads. A further complication for many unemployed people is that the longer they haven’t been earning paychecks, the harder it becomes to find work, as employers often look down on people who don’t currently hold jobs. “Employers really do favor people who have jobs,” said economist Sophia Koropeckyj, a managing director for Moody’s Analytics. Mitchell Hirsch, the online campaigns coordinator for the National Employment Law Project, an advocacy group for lowerincome workers, denounced that practice and said “employers are literally discriminating against people who don’t have jobs.” The inability to find work doesn’t just hurt those out of a job. It also affects everyone else, because it hobbles the economy and crimps consumer spending, Koropeckyj said. “The more unemployed people there are, that means that’s a weight for the whole economy because they are not spending as much,” she said. Meanwhile, unemployed Germantown resident Lisa Banks has exhausted her unemployment benefits. Her car has been repossessed, so she can’t even drive to the grocery store or take her 19 year-old daughter to college this fall. Banks, who lives alone, said her relationship with her two kids had suffered because of her job status. She spent the first six months after she lost her job applying for new ones and trying to kill time, primarily by walking her dog and reading. She then took out school loans and now also takes online classes to get a business administration degree in hopes of restarting her career after she graduates. But it’s still tough out there for her. Fighting back tears, she said, “All I try to do is try to keep my head up, and every day it’s harder and harder because nothing seems to be getting done about this situation. Nothing.” floods, tornadoes and other meteorological disasters such as we have rarely seen have occurred this year. Who needs a scientist to verify that global climate patterns are changing? Let’s face it, we’ll have a corral full of problems if Gov. Perry keeps this going. Before long, the whole nation will be telling Aggie jokes (a popular Texas pastime aimed at those associated with Texas A&M University) and Perry will be dismissed with a classic Texas put-down: all hat and no cattle.

especially considering the logistical challenges to getting even the most basic equipment and comforts to troops in extremely forbidding terrain. In Afghanistan, for example, the U.S. military spent $1.5 billion to purchase 329.8 million gallons of fuel for vehicles, aircraft and generators from October 2010 to May 2011. That’s a not-unheard-of $4.55 per gallon, but it doesn’t include the cost of getting the fuel to combat zones and the human cost of transporting it through hostile areas, which can increase the cost to hundreds of dollars a gallon. Since the U.S. government issued war bonds to help finance World War II, Washington has asked taxpayers to shoulder less and less of a burden in times of conflict. In the early 1950s Con-

gress raised taxes by 4 percent of the gross domestic product to pay for the Korean War; in 1968, during the Vietnam War, a tax was imposed to raise revenue by about 1 percent of GDP. No such mechanism was imposed for Iraq or Afghanistan, and in the early years of the wars Congress didn’t even demand a true accounting of war spending, giving the military whatever it needed. Now, at a time of fiscal woes and with the American public weary of the wars, the question has become how much the nation’s largest bureaucracy should cut. “The debt crisis has been a game changer in terms of defense spending,” said Laura Peterson, a national security analyst at Taxpayers for Common Sense, a nonpartisan budget watchdog. “It used to be that asking how much the wars cost was unpatriotic. The attitude going into the war is you spend whatever you cost. Now maybe asking is more patriotic.”

otherhood was a big revelation for Katie Holmes. The actress, who has a 5-year-old daughter, Suri, with husband Tom Cruise, says becoming a mom changed her life in ways she never could have imagined. “I think a tremendous amount of strength is revealed when you become a parent that you didn’t know you had,” says Holmes, who is also a stepmom to Isabella and Connor, Cruise’s adopted children with Nicole Kidman. “You also experience this tremendous burst of love that you didn’t know you were capable of feeling and giving. Both of those things were such a surprise, but they’re the best (emotions).” Being a mom has been on Holmes’ mind quite a bit lately thanks to “Don’t Be Afraid Of the Dark,” her new film, which opens Friday in area theaters. Adapted by Guillermo Del Toro (“Pan’s Labyrinth”) from a 1970 TV movie, the film centers on a young girl named Sally (Bailee Madison) who goes off to live in a Victorian mansion with her father

Alex (Guy Pearce) and his girlfriend Kim (Holmes). While Alex and Kim are distracted with efforts to restore the house, Sally sets out to investigate the dark corners of the estate. Soon, rasping voices are calling out to Sally from the basement begging to be set free. After the youngster gives in to her curiosity and unleashes the nasty goblins, she has to try to make her family believe they’re in grave danger before it’s too late. It was the film’s examination of a woman slowly warming to motherhood that initially drew Holmes to the project. “What I loved about this character is the journey she goes on,” says the actress, 32. “At the beginning of the film, she really rejects being a mother and being close to Sally. “It’s hinted at that Kim has a tough childhood, and so she doesn’t want to be a mom. And I think through listening to Sally, she becomes her friend, and it’s then that she makes the choice to really pay attention and take care of her. See KATIE, Page 4F

Amber Heard plays Maureen in NBC’s ‘The Playboy Club,’ which focuses on bunnies working in gangster-run Chicago.

Fall series return to naughty ’60s By MELISSA MAERZ Los Angeles Times

NEW YORK — The future of television lies squarely in the past, preferably on a bed with a blond bombshell. That’s where you’ll find Nick, the hero of NBC’s upcoming 1960s drama “The Playboy Club,” who’s described by one lady friend as “everything you want and everything you don’t.” With his well-oiled hair and sharply creased pocket square, he looks like he just stepped out of an ad designed by Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce. Surrounded by a gaggle of pink-eared, cotton-tailed friends, Nick lives in a world where, as Hugh Hefner’s voice-over explains, “everything was perfect, where life was magic, where ... fantasies became realities for everyone who walked through the door. It wasn’t the ’50s anymore.” Remember nostalgia? It used to be more original. Back in 2007, when “Mad Men” brought its cigarette-puffing, garter-snapping, five-martini-lunch vision to AMC, the idea of letting viewers revel in the thrill of 1960s-endorsed bad behavior, while also allowing them to keep the moral high ground of our relatively enlightened times, felt groundbreaking. Now, with two 1960s dramas due this fall, NBC and ABC are following suit behind AMC — and that suit looks a lot like Don Draper’s gray flannel number. Both set in 1963, with civil rights, the Cold War and the sexual revolution on the horizon, NBC’s “The Playboy Club” focuses on the bunnies working in gangster-run Chicago while ABC’s “Pan Am” follows a team of stewardesses, one of whom might be a spy. Each show feels like a “Mad Men” spinoff: “Pan Am” recalls the blue-uniformed flight attendant who helped Draper get his wings, while “The Playboy Club” echoes advertising boss Lane Pryce’s affair with a bunny. By combining the smart historical references and character studies of cable with the broad reach of network television, NBC and ABC are betting that they’ll achieve all the critical acclaim earned by “Mad Men” with a ratings boost that trumps its roughly 2.3 million viewership. Jack Orman, the creator of “Pan Am,” admits that “Mad Men” paved the way for his show. “It certainly helped in the pitching stage, because it showed that the ’60s could work for a contemporary audience,” he says. Before “Mad Men,” Orman believes, there hadn’t been a truly successful series set in that decade since “The Wonder Years.” Of course, the allure of the 1960s remains somewhat timeless, especially when it mirrors our own times. “These shows represent a slice of 1960s America that’s closer to modern day,” says Michael Allen, a history professor at Northwestern University who teaches a class on “Mad Men” and the 1960s. “It’s a moment that is cosmopolitan, focused on large cities, business and travel, but it’s also quite conservative. The world is mostly white. It’s all well-educated. It’s not really representative of how most Americans lived at that time, but it’s very advertiser-friendly today, because it reflects upper-middle-class values.” Indeed, if there’s anything “Mad Men” taught the networks, it’s that it’s easier to wink at product placement See NAUGHTY, Page 5F

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

Friendship dissolves over ‘right’ to wear ring Dear Abby: A friend recently purchased a mother’s ring from a pawn shop. When “Caron” told me about it, I told her she didn’t have the right to wear one because she’s not a mother. I discussed it with some other friends and they agreed with me, but Caron says I “overreacted” and that everyone is on HER side. Caron says it’s “just a ring” with different colored stones and she has every right to wear it if she wants to. The women who agree with me say a mother’s ring is set with varied birthstones to commemorate the birth of a child born in a certain month, and that’s why Caron has no right to wear it.

from Nicholson, climbing fern from the Daleville area and close to 2,000 other plants of Northeastern Pennsylvania. Then there are the crafters who have used plant materials in all sorts of ways. Over the centuries they fashioned wooden cabins and canoes, gathered herbs for medicine, wove leis and wreaths and baskets and made clothes for their families. “I was amazed by all the work that went into this one dress,” Chris Medley of Dickson City said during the exhibit’s recent opening reception as she admired a child’s embroidered linen dress and a spinning wheel. “I wonder about the girl who wore it,” Medley said. “Was it her best dress? Or her only dress for that year?” A placard near the display explained how early settlers grew flax in their gardens and how women would sing or tell stories as they used spinning wheels to spin the flax fiber into linen thread. In other sections of the exhibit, rugged logging tools, a sickle and hay rake hint at the hard work involved in long-ago harvests. Delicate china reminds museum visitors of the sugar (from sugar cane) and chocolate (from cacao) once served in them. And the work of glass artist Emma Stein – plant images fashioned from glass and resting in cushy cloth bassinets – makes note of the fact some plants can be dangerous. “My focus is on poisonous

plants that seduce us with their beauty,” she wrote. “As in many life situations, we often do not recognize that which we comfort is hurtful until its nature is revealed.” But most of the exhibit celebrates the useful features of plants, including the fortunatefor-humans equation in which vegetation takes in carbon dioxide and gives off oxygen. Here, too, the beauty of growing things is on display, as in the 11-by-17-foot piece that graces one wall. Contemporary artist Gabrielle Senza completed “Terra Temporalis” just hours before the opening reception, using powdered graphite to create an image of ethereal trees. “I have a love of poplar,” she said, naming her favorite. “I like the sort of silvery bark and the shape of its leaves and the way they flutter in the wind.”

“Almost without any effort and, in spite of herself, she becomes a mother. And that really culminates at the end. “ Another lure for Holmes was the opportunity to star in a horror movie in which the emphasis was less on gore and more on character development and oldschool chills. “I just fell in love with these characters,” admits Holmes, a veteran of the horror shocker “Teaching Mrs. Tingle” with Helen Mirren. “Kim is such a strong female character who makes real, definitive choices in the movie. That was very exciting. “And I like the genre of classic horror movies, especially ones that have characters and stories that can stand apart from the use of the creatures. I thought this one did that so beautifully.” Before production began, Holmes reacquainted herself with classic frightfests such as “The Exorcist” and “Rosemary’s Baby.” She also watched films fueled by intense family dynamics such as “Kramer Vs. Kramer.” Horror movies, Holmes notes, are ideal devices for catharsis. If you’re feeling stressed out, go see a spine-tingler and scream your head off. “I agree with Guillermo, who believes that audiences like to have a release. Whether it’s through laughter or tears or being frightened, you need to get those emotions out. “There’s nothing like a film that really delivers great tension and gives you that thrill of not knowing what’s coming next. There’s really nothing better than going to the movies and identifying with those people up there. They’re you.” With Blackwood Manor, the film’s swanky yet sinister setting, the filmmakers attempted to construct an oddly inviting house of horrors. “I didn’t find it too creepy,” Holmes says of the house, which was built on soundstages in Australia’s Melbourne Central City

“What I loved about this character is the journey she goes on ... And I think through listening to Sally, she becomes her friend, and it’s then that she makes the choice to really pay attention and take care of her.” Katie Holmes

It was important that the house looked very nice because (restoring houses) is this couple’s job. “You want to believe that they’re good at their jobs because that helped explain why (Pearce’s character) was so distracted and not available to Sally. … I actually found the locations in the house quite beautiful. “I was excited about it because I could feel sort of that juxtaposition of something beautiful set against something incredibly terrifying. I really loved that aspect. The house had this wonderful fantasy element to it.” While Holmes doesn’t have many scenes with the creatures who live in the dark and feast on the teeth of children, she admits she was impressed by the beasties the special-effects department conjured up. “I was blown away,” she says. “They were so cool-looking. They were totally creepy and totally disgusting characters. I was impressed.” Holmes also was impressed, in a different way, by11-year-old Bailee Madison. “It was wonderful working with her,” the actress says. “She is so professional and so talented and really loves acting. … She comes in with great ideas. She’s not afraid. She has a point of view, and she’s willing to discuss it with you.” Holmes was only a few years older than Madison when she first came to prominence as Joey Potter on “Dawson’s Creek.” After the show went off the air, Holmes set out to prove her versatility by starring in twisty thrillers (“Go,”

What drew Katie Holmes to ’Don’t Be Afraid Of the Dark’ was the film’s examination of a woman slowly warming to motherhood. She shares this scene with Bailee Madison, who plays Sally.

“Abandon”), edgy dramas (“Ice Storm,” “The Gift”), comedies (“Wonder Boys,” “Pieces of April” ) and action flicks (“Batman Begins.”) When her daughter was born, Holmes initially scaled back on her workload. But last year she got busy in a big way, shooting three movies back to back to back. In addition to “Don’t Be Afraid

of the Dark,” she’ll pop up in two films set for autumn release: the comedy “Jack and Jill” with Adam Sandler and Al Pacino, and the thriller “The Son of No One” with Channing Tatum, Juliette Binoche and Pacino. Asked if she has difficulty prioritizing motherhood and career, Holmes says, “It’s always a question of balance and just making it work and figuring it out.”

By ANN LEVIN For The Associated Press

By CALVIN WILSON

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

T. LOUIS — Fantasy novels play well with children, who haven’t yet become too cynical to believe in magical worlds. Just ask J.K. Rowling, who’d be quite well off financially even if her Harry Potter books hadn’t been made into movies. But what about adults? Is it possible to address their concerns through a genre that’s largely associated with wizards and witches, hobbits and Hogwarts? Can fantastical tales address the edgier aspects of sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll? Lev Grossman thinks so. His novel “The Magicians” (2009) nimbly crossed the drawbridge to become a hit with adult readers and earn critical acclaim. With his new book, “The Magician King,” Grossman catches up with “Magicians” protagonist Quentin Coldwater, a young man who’s infatuated with magic but whose adventures bump up against themes far more mature than those along Potter’s path. In a recent interview from New York, where he’s a book critic and senior writer at Time magazine, Grossman, 42, says the sequel wasn’t part of his original plan. “I had written ‘The Magicians’ to be a one-off,” he says. “When I put

the period on the final sentence, that was the last that I ever intended to write about those characters. “But when you’re writing a novel, you get into the habit of asking yourself, ‘What happens next?’ And after I let ‘The Magicians’ sit for a month or two, I started asking myself that question again.” One of the challenges of writing a fantasy novel is creating an imaginary world that makes sense. “It does have to have an internal logic for it to feel real,” he says. “For the readers to feel like they can just step into that world and believe in it. But you also want it to be mysterious.” Grossman didn’t start out as a

fantasy writer; his novel “Codex” (2004) was a literary thriller. The switch in genres came about naturally, Grossman says. “When I got to the age of 35, I started thinking about what my most intense and enjoyable reading experiences had been,” he says. “And they really had been as a kid, reading young-adult fantasy novels. I realized that I wanted to try to recreate that feeling of just being lost in a book.” The magic isn’t over: Coldwater’s story is likely to be a trilogy, Grossman says. “That’s my plan at this point,” he says. “I have something else percolating that I’d like to move on to.”

when your show is set in the past. That’s a lesson that hasn’t been lost on NBC Entertainment Chairman Robert Greenblatt, who recently explained to a crowd of potential advertisers in New York that “The Playboy Club” offered many cross-promotional opportunities, because Hefner will be reopening a few clubs around the time of its premiere. Demographically, 1960s period dramas also extend the networks’ audience. Older viewers watch them to reflect on their own experiences during that decade. Younger audiences, many of whom already love heritage vintage clothing and Hipstamatic photos, are often

drawn to the retro style, as well as their curiosity about how their parents lived. “It’s a builtin four-quadrant zinger,” says Chad Hodge, creator of “The Playboy Club.” “You’ll watch no matter how old or young you are, and it appeals to both men and women.” Luring more male viewers is particularly important to ABC, whose audience is 65 percent female. True, some women will enjoy both networks’ lipstickfeminist take on career girls busting their carefully manicured fists through the glass ceiling. (One “Playboy Club” bunny tells her friends that she’s making more money than her father.) But both of these dramas also indulge a popular male fantasy — at a time when many men are anxious about job stability and women are getting higher college degrees, “Pan

Am” and “The Playboy Club” recall a less threatening era, when an ambitious woman’s prime goal was to serve the guys who rule the boardroom. The “Pan Am” tagline boasts, “They do it all, and they do it at 30,000 feet.” Though both dramas are driven by their female characters, each one features a suave leading man, who also happens to look a lot like “Mad Men’s” Don Draper. “Playboy” has Nick, a suave lawyer with mob connections who opens doors for women and effortlessly helps one bunny bury the body of a patron she accidentally killed with her stiletto. “Pan Am” has Dean, the captain of a 707 Clipper who keeps his affections for the stewardesses where they belong: 30,000 feet above ground. For Allen, these old-fashioned gentlemen are especially enchanting to today’s young view-

Patricia Marx, an alumna of the Harvard Lampoon and “Saturday Night Live,” is a very funny writer. At The New Yorker, she writes the On and Off the Avenue column, where she delivers high-end shopping tips — “Starting gifts for the From Happy” college (Scribner), by new graduate, for inPatricia Marx stance — wrapped in a late-night TV-worthy comic monologue. Marx’s latest effort, “Starting From Happy,” is a collection of amusing sketches and one-liners disguised as a girl-meets-boy love story. The cast of characters hails from the demographic Marx knows best: smart, funny, reasonably well-off urban folk like her. The girl is Imogene Gilfeather, a workaholic lingerie designer with very little time to waste on a relationship, especially with men who “bantered, postured, preened, equivocated, explained, chewed the fat, played devil’s advocate, watched football, cooked their famous lasagna, explored their feelings, asked her lots of questions, or had too much time.” The boy is Wally Yez, a nerdy scientist fresh out of a relationship with another woman that lasted long enough for them “to agree it is silly to celebrate one more Valentine’s Day when they could put the money they’d have spent into a fund set aside to remodel the kitchen” — and yearning for a date with Imogene. After some agonizing, Imogene agrees to go out with him, and not so long after that, they’re in the suburbs raising two children. “Starting From Happy” is a fast and funny read that is most notable for the way Marx has jazzed it up with just about every stylistic gewgaw in the arsenal of fiction writers who have given up on traditional narrative. These include spidery, fauxnaif drawings that resemble cartoons by The New Yorker contributors Maira Kalman and Roz Chast, Marx’s sometime writing partner, and frequent breaks when the author, who calls herself Patty, addresses the reader directly. The text is also broken up into hundreds of little “chaplettes,” sometimes just a few words in length, a style that might grow out of Marx’s roots as a comedy writer forever in search of the killer one-liner. Three-quarters of the way through the novel, the story ends. And then it starts up again. For the price of one “novel,” readers are offered two possible endings. Marx, after all, is the consummate shopper.

“It certainly helped in the pitching stage, because it showed that the ’60s could work for a contemporary audience. Jack Orman Creator of ‘Pan Am,’ who admits that ‘Mad Men’ paved the way for his show

ers. “If you think about representations of young men at the present moment, you think about ‘The Hangover’ and ‘Pineapple Express’ and all of these manboy characters who don’t know how to be a man at all. There’s a sense that people played by certain rules back then, and there’s a yearning for that certainty, even if some of those rules are really bad.”

ABC’s ’Pan Am’ follows a team of stewardesses, one of whom might be a spy.

Glacier National Park: scenery to melt your heart

By NANCY TREJOS

The Washington Post

ank top or ski pants? That’s the kind of fashion conundrum you face at Glacier National Park. As a ranger at this 1 million-acre reserve in northern Montana pointed out, you never know what a trail here will look like. One day, it could be buried in snow. The next, it could be sprouting a forest of Douglas firs. iceberg, right? We gathered at Swiftcurrent Motor Inn on a Tuesday morning for the free ranger-led hike. I’d dressed in cargo pants and a rain jacket and asked Monica, our guide, whether I was properly attired. She said yes. Just to be on the safe side, though, I bought a wool hat. As the rain started pouring, I thought about running back into the camp store to buy wool socks and gloves. But the line was too long, so I turned away. Big mistake. On the hunt The day before, I’d hopped on one of the red tour buses that chauffeur visitors down Goingto-the-Sun Road. Jasmine, a recent college graduate with a history degree, was our driver. Because of the immense amount of snow, Going-to-the-Sun Road hadn’t been cleared until July 13 — one of its latest openings ever. “For a while, it looked like it wouldn’t open,” Jasmine said. Amazing, considering that just a day earlier I’d been at Logan Pass, where the Continental Divide separates the east side of the park from the west. I’d been wearing a tank top while ducking the crossfire of a fierce snowball fight between kids clad in shorts and T-shirts. We rode along Going-to-theSun Road in the 1930s-era bus with the top down, starting at the Lake McDonald Lodge near the town of West Glacier. “We’re actually traveling the path of a glacier,” Jasmine told us. All around us were signs of a winter that just didn’t want to go into hibernation. At Mount Cannon, Jasmine pointed out the aftereffects of an avalanche. The trees were gone, a sure-fire way of telling where a landslide had hit. On a scale of 1 to 5, this one had been classified a 5, she said. It had taken out 50 feet of rock wall, but the park service wasn’t planning to fuss with the scarred landscape. “This will be kept here for as many years as it remains here,” Jasmine said. “We won’t touch it. Let Mother Nature take care of it. She definitely knows what she’s doing.” Mother Nature had also created many cascades along the road. We drove past the 100-foot-high Weeping Wall, which was weeping even more than usual because

of the melting snow. Good thing I wasn’t sitting on the right side of the open van. Next we passed the 8,987-foot Heaven’s Peak, a mountain that preceded the Loop, the only switchback on the road. The designers had originally planned about a dozen switchbacks, which would have made the drive feel even more roller coaster-y than it does. The two-lane Going-to-theSun Road is such an engineering marvel that it has been designated a National Historic Landmark and is a major attraction in its own right. Completed in 1932, it was designed to blend into the scenery. It’s also one of the most difficult roads in North America to clear of snow; I was surprised to see six- to eight-foot walls still standing along the mountain. Complicating matters is major ongoing restoration work on the road. Eager to see glaciers, we asked Jasmine to point them out. “You guys will laugh because it just looks like a pile of snow,” she said. At Logan Pass, she pointed out the Gem Glacier, the smallest in the park. “It’s in that U between the peaks. Left-hand side. Sliver of white. You see it?” I squinted.

And yes, I laughed. The hunt for glaciers continued during a cruise on St. Mary Lake, the second-largest lake in the park at 10 miles long and nearly 300 feet deep. Our boat, built in 1925, was the oldest boat operating in Glacier. Samantha, our guide, said that the lake had still been iced over just a few weeks earlier. Today, we were all enjoying the pleasant cruise in T-shirts. “Even when you see them, they don’t look like anything different,” Samantha said when we asked her to point out some glaciers. It was becoming a familiar refrain. Nonetheless, we were happy when she pointed to Sexton Glacier on the southeast slope of Matahpi Peak. The more than 7,000foot-high glacier covers an area of about 68 acres but has lost more than 30 percent of its surface area since 1966. You can see Sexton only by boat; it’s not visible from the road. That made the cruise seem worth it, though once again, all I really saw was a patch of ice. I asked park ranger Jeremy Wei if there was any way to get closer to a glacier. “It’s going to be tough,” he said. “I haven’t even been up to any.”

At As soon as the downpour start- the halfway point, we came across a pit toilet (a glorified Pored, I knew I was in trouble. We were a little more than a ta-Potty).

At the moment, I was getting ready to embark on a 10-mile hike to an iceberg lake. That’s because so far, I was finding the park’s glaciers underwhelming. Two days earlier, I’d driven 36 miles on the scenic 50-mile Going-to-the-Sun Road to the Jackson Glacier overlook, parked and bounded out of my car, excited to see one of nature’s gigantic Popsicles. I’d turned my head to the right. Then to the left. “Where’s the glacier?” I’d finally asked the crowd at the overlook. “You don’t know where the snow field ends and the glacier begins,” grumbled the bundledup visitor next to me (we were at 5,400 feet at this point). This past winter, it turns out, had been one of the snowiest in this part of the state in some time, and even though it was late July, the 25 or so remaining glaciers (of 150 that existed in 1850) were still covered in the white stuff. They looked just like ordinary mountains to me. I was bummed. This could be my only chance to see a glacier face to face. “Going, going, gone,” said the sign in front of me. In fact, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, the glaciers, which are melting in response to an increase in long-term mean temperatures, may be gone entirely by 2020 or 2030. Of course, Glacier National Park wasn’t even named for the actual glaciers. It was named for what the glaciers did: create a series of U-shaped valleys with some of the most breathtaking views I’d ever seen. Mountains that look like Coneheads covered in shampoo lather. Lakes of a turquoise color richer and more otherworldly than anything you could find in a Crayola box. I couldn’t take my eyes off them, which was not good, because driving down the narrow, twisting Going-to-the-Sun-Road, which traverses the park, requires concentration. I really wanted to touch a glacier. But the Grinnell Trail, the best route for getting up close and personal with one of the icy masses, was closed because of bear sightings (it has since been opened). The Highline Trail, the second best way to approach the glaciers, was closed because of a lingering snowpack. A park ranger suggested a hike to Iceberg Lake. Brilliant! The next best thing to a glacier would be an
