| Keirin Carnage at Lehigh Valley Velodrome - 480 sec
USA Cycling hands down suspensions for bad conduct
By Mark Zalewski
The Morning Call of Allentown, PA reported on Wednesday that Andy Lakatosh, Marty Nothstein and Leigh Barczewski have been suspended by USA Cycling resulting from a June 10 incident during a keirin race at the Lehigh Valley Velodrome. Lakatosh reportedly grabbed Jame Carney's handlebars, causing Carney to crash following the final race of the KidsPeace Bicycle Racing League Finals. It was observed that Lakatosh's actions were retaliation for earlier actions by Carney that caused another rider, Ben Barczewski (Leigh's son), to crash.
At the time, race officials disqualified Carney and Lakatosh from the event. However, Carney filed grievances with USA Cycling against the four race officials, as well as against Ben Barczewski, his father/coach Leigh Barczewski, Marty Nothstein and Mike Grabowski. The officials, along with Nothstein, were charged with collusion for disqualifying Carney because of the crash. Nothstein serves as the velodrome's COO and Director of Cycling Operations. The charges against the officiating crew and Grabowski were eventually dismissed.
USA Cycling CEO Gerard Bisceglia told the Morning Call that Lakatosh's suspension is until January 2006 and that Ben Barczewski was issued a reprimand for a verbal confrontation with Carney. Nothstein received a two-month suspension, beginning in September, for violating USA Cycling's Code of Conduct.
"It was probably the strangest hearing we've ever had," said Sean Farrell, the technical director for USA Cycling. "I've never seen that many complaints go out at once, and all in one direction. Most of it came up as insufficient evidence. The majority of the people had their charges dismissed for lack of verifiable evidence." Lakatosh filed a grievance against Carney for physically confronting him after the initial incidents, but that charge was dismissed, according to Farrell, because of Lakatosh's prior transgression. Leigh Barczewski and Nothstein were cited for a section of the USA Cycling code of conduct that includes verbal and physical abuse.
USA Cycling investigator Randy Shafer did not review the video tape of the Ben Barczewski crash. No grievance was filed by Barczewski against Carney for that incident. "The video wasn't being used for Carney/Barczewski... as part of the investigation as to whether or not the officials' call was right that night," Farrell explained. "The video was used for Carney/Lakatosh. I think, regardless of what anyone thinks about what happened on the track with Carney/Barczewski, USA Cycling cannot let retaliation be allowed."
Shafer originally suggested a three-month suspension for Lakatosh, but Bisceglia lengthened that suspension. "I want to make sure that everyone understands that behavior of this type, to intentionally pull down a rider, is not tolerated by USA Cycling, no matter what the reason," Bisceglia said.

The host Central Valley Falcons, behind the 21 point performance of Paolo Mancasola, defeated Alameda 63-51 at the 14th annual Lehigh Classic Basketball tournament at CVHS. The win means the Falcons will face the Shasta Wolves Friday night at 6:30 p.m. as the Wolves defeated Redwood High School of Larkspur 57-51. Other winners included Ponderosa with a 48-22 win over banged up West Valley, who was without a couple of their top players, including Garhett Parent, who suffered an injury in a Tuesday night game. He'll be out for a month. And what may have been the most exciting game of the night, Liberty Christian, which went scoreless in the first quarter, falling behind 13-0, came back to defeat Amador in overtime 57-53.

Concluding the speeches, Gloria Hamm, Lehigh County Commissioner, issued a resolution commending the Lehigh Valley Walk Now for Autism.
Entertainment at the Lehigh Valley Walk Now for Autism was varied and abundant. Sam Ash Music provided sound, and The Pale Ryders, who have a personal connection to autism, entertained the crowd with great rock music. Geoffrey the Giraffe greeted his many fans, accompanied by Star Wars characters, Crayola "walking crayons" and clowns from Tootsie & Friends. The Emmaus High School cheerleaders performed, and Noah's World donated moonbounces. Studio Fun provided on-the-spot pictures for children.

I bought a set of a K-5Hs a few years ago after I got my engineer's license on the RBMN railroad. I use them mostly on the LGSR and RBMN excursion trains. I painted and cleaned them myself. However, it is time for paint again. A special thanks to my fiancee Sarah for shooting the video.

2 days ago
WASHINGTON (AFP) — US President George W. Bush on Monday paid tribute to "the courage of the Dalai Lama and the Buddhists in Tibet," less than one month before heading to China for the Beijing Olympics opening gala.
Bush also reported that he told Chinese President Hu Jintao when they met last week in Japan: "So long as there are those who want to fight for their liberty, the United States stands with them."
The US president, who has drawn fire for his decision to attend the August 8 opening ceremony for the Games, was speaking at a White House ceremony marking the 10th anniversary of a US law aimed at promoting global religious freedom.
"We remember those seeking religious freedom in China, and we honor those who press for their liberties, people like the Uighur Muslims," said Bush.
"I also had the honor of meeting those who attend underground churches in China. And we also honor the courage of the Dalai Lama and the Buddhists in Tibet," he said.

| | Cloud to Cloud Lightning - Lehigh Valley, PA - 421 sec
Several family and friends witnessed cloud-to-cloud lightning (none of whom ever saw this before). I love a good storm and was amazed at this slow-moving, lightning storm that moved over the Lehigh valley for about an hour. More interesting than the storm is the goofy commentary offered by my kids, wife, niece and myself.
