U.S. Sen. Bob Casey said Thursday that he has secured the participation of a high-ranking defense official in the upcoming Showcase for Commerce exposition in Johnstown.
Heidi Shyu, the assistant secretary of defense for acquisitions, technology and logistics, accepted the senator’s invitation to participate.
Casey had written a letter urging her to attend because the event will represent the region’s business community, which has a long history of supporting the defense industry.
“I’m looking forward to this year’s Showcase and am confident that the assistant secretary’s participation will contribute to its success,” Casey said in a news release.
The defense-oriented business exposition will be held May 29-31 at the Pasquerilla Conference Center, Cambria County War Memorial Arena and other local venues. For more information, call the Greater Johnstown/Cambria County Chamber of Commerce at 536-5107 or email info@showcaseforcommerce.com.

Five steps to ward off business fraud
Business fraud is everywhere. It can range from employees pilfering small items from the office to embezzling hundreds of thousands of dollars. And crimes may be committed by anyone from the lowest-paid clerk to a longtime officer. All too often, business owners are oblivious to wrongdoings, or they simply refuse to acknowledge the possibilities – until it’s too late.

MICHAEL MacDOWELL | GM makes it big second time around
In April 2010, General Motors Chairman Ed Whitacre announced that GM would pay back $8.1 billion in government loans. It was greeted by cheers from employees and no doubt from U.S. treasury officers as well. Of course, much of the $52 billion loaned to General Motors by the federal government – and the $1.4 billion loaned to General Motors by the Canadian government – has been converted to stock, which you and I as taxpayers own. This may be a good investment, for it appears that General Motors has learned its lesson.

NICK MASSEY | Beware of stock indexes
One of the basic rules of military strategy is that when aggressively pursuing the enemy, you have to be sure you don’t outrun your supply lines. If the guys bringing the food, ammo and fuel can’t keep up, it doesn’t take long before bad things happen.
