Organization says suit contains significant legal deficiencies

NCAA: Dismiss Paterno lawsuit

Let the splashing commence! Stevens ready for high court

STATE SUPREmE COURT

GENARO C. ARmAS

STATE COLLEGE The NCAA asked a Pennsylvania court on Tuesday to dismiss a lawsuit led by the family of the late coach Joe Paterno that seeks to overturn the sanctions against Penn State for the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal. Some trustees, former players and coaches and current faculty members are also taking part in the same lawsuit, which the NCAA said was awed and contained various signicant legal deciencies. College sports governing body said in the ling in Centre County court late Tuesday that the civil suit must be dismissed in part because the university itself isnt part of the suit. The sanctions handed down in July 2012 were agreed to by the NCAA and the university president. The NCAA also rmly denied a claim that it had conspired with former FBI director Louis Freehs team in formulating the sanctions. Freeh led the schools internal investigation into the scandal, and the Paterno family and three former school ofcials have vehemently denied Freehs scathing allegations of a cover-up. Their suit complains primarily about the conclusions of the Freeh Report, conducted at the behest of the Penn State Board, and the universitys acceptance of its ndings, NCAA chief legal ofcer Donald Remy said in a statement outlining the organizations arguments. The NCAA did not commission the Freeh Report nor had any role in it. It was the NCAAs rst response to the case since See PATERNO | 10A

The splash pad at Coal Street Park opened Tuesday, immediately providing park-goers with a way to cool off as temperatures continued in the 80 degree range. Butch Frati, the citys director of operations, said repairs to the splash pad are nearly complete and it is almost fully operational. The Quad Three Group is putting on the final touches, he said. At top, worker Dave Lewis peers out of the control area to check out the water flow. In the bottom photo, Anthony Hawk, 14, is reflected in puddles on the basketball court adjacent to the splash pad. Rains briefly interrupted outside activities but did provide a cool-down after last weeks 90-plus degree weather.

Inquest planned in Hazleton-area death

mander of the criminal investigation unit, said that at the time investigators did not know if Gailies death was an accident, suicide or a homicide. Bartel could not be reached for comment on Tuesday. Forensic pathologist Dr. Gary Ross conducted the autopsy, determining Gailie died from a gunshot wound. The manner of death was listed as undetermined. The Luzerne County District Attorneys Ofce is coordinating the coroners inquest scheduled to begin Monday, said acting Coroner Bill Lisman. Lisman said he could not release details because of the ongoing investigation. Assistant District Attorney Dan Zola is expected to lead the coroners inquest by presenting to the sixmember jury witnesses and evidence surrounding the circumstances of Gailies death. The panel will be selected from the jury pool reporting for jury duty Monday. At a coroners inquest, the jury listens, asks questions and then rules on a manner of death. The last coroners inquest in Luzerne County was held 17 years ago in the death of a woman in Hazleton. That inquest in November 1996 ruled that Eugene Gorski was responsible for the drug overdose death of his wife, Deborah, 38, on Aug. 10, 1996. But the nding held no criminal weight. No charges were led against Eugene Gorski, a physician.

WILKES-BARRE Fifteen years ago, Correale F. Stevens was sworn in as a state Superior Court judge in a low-key ceremony at the Hazle Township Municipal Building. There may even have been a game of bingo after the ceremony that January day in 1998, and that was it, he recalled. Stevens elevation to Pennsylvanias highest court, by contrast, will be marked next Tuesday with a somewhat more formal gathering at the Luzerne County Courthouse that is expected to draw elected ofcials and Stevens a cadre of judges. There might even be a surprise visit by a statewide ofceholder or two, Stevens quipped. The 66-year-old Republican from Sugarloaf Township was nominated last month by Gov. Tom Corbett to ll a state Supreme Court seat vacated by Joan Orie Melvin, who resigned May 1 after her conviction on charges she used government employees to help her political campaigns. Melvin is appealing her convictions. Stevens was conrmed for the post June 30 by a 50-0 state Senate vote. His appointment is to ll a term that expires Jan. 1, 2016. Never in a million years, Stevens said when asked if he ever envisioned himself on the high court, a seven-member panel that traces its origins back at least as far as 1722, during the colonial era. It is the oldest appellate court in the nation, according to the Supreme Court website. Its been a wild ride, and Im loving every minute of it, Stevens said. His 4 p.m. robing ceremony, with Chief Justice Ronald D. Castile presiding, will include remarks from individuals who now hold ofces that Stevens once occupied: state Rep. Tarah Toohil, R-Butler Township; Luzerne County District Attorney Stephanie Salavantis; county President Judge Tom Burke and Superior Court Judge Kate Ford Elliott. Superior Court Judge Jack Panella will serve as master of ceremonies.

Orange you glad courthouse is getting a new roof?

New shingle design will mimic buildings original look

Roof repairs have begun atop the Luzerne County Courthouse the final work needed to prevent leaks that are damaging the interior of the century-old structure.

Clark Van Orden|The Times Leader

First the Luzerne County Courthouse domes went from white to light gray. Now the sloped parts of the roof visible from some groundlevel vantage points will be covered with red-orange shingles designed to create an optical illusion of terra cotta barrel tiles. These sloped gables are cur-

rently topped with rubber roofing coated in tan. Now they disappear. In the future they will stand out, said Mark J. Sobeck, the countys roong consultant on the project. Its going to be a totally different look. The county isnt trying to boost the historic structures curb appeal. The projects are part of a ongoing repairs designed to waterproof and return the build-

ing to its original appearance. Roof repairs are the nal step to stop leaks that have damaged interior plaster and artwork. The county has spent millions of dollars in recent years redoing the skylight atop the main dome, stripping and sealing up the terra cotta on the domes and repairing masonry and rooine edges. Dunmore Roong and Supply Co. will be paid $834,200 to

replace the roof, under the supervision of Sobecks company, Mark J. Sobeck Roof Consulting Inc. of Wilkes-Barre. The project will be funded with money previously borrowed through bonds. Key photo, artifacts The countys choice for the sloped sections was based on an old photograph and artifacts discovered by a building-andgrounds employee indicating the structure originally had a red-orange Spanish barrel terra See ROOF | 10A

Nighttime road warriors, brace yourselves. Tuesday night marked the start of a three-month, $4.5 million project to resurface about eight miles of Interstate 81 in both directions between Avoca and Dunmore, Pennsylvania Department of Transportation ofcials said. Work between exits 178 and 186 will

continue Sunday to Friday, from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., through late October. The project begins this week with milling of the River Street ramps at Exit 184 in Scranton. Exactly where and when work will take place over the course of the project has not been mapped out yet. We have no set schedule as of yet, but we will be sending out weekly updates on (work locations) via the weekly road report, spokeswoman

Samantha Antosh said Tuesday. Both sides of the highway have been in need of resurfacing for quite a while now, according to a PennDOT release, adding that many drivers have expressed concerns regarding the condition of the highway. Each day, up to 40,000 people travel over that section of highway, one of the most traveled stretches of I-81 in PennDOTs Dunmore-based District 4, Antosh said.

Base repair and patch work have recently been done on the section from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Airport Exit 178 to just past Exit 185 for the Central Scranton Expressway. Work is being paid for mostly with federal funding, Antosh said, but there is some state funding. The project was put out to bid on June 6 and awarded to Popple Construction Inc. on June 14, according to PennDOT. Motorists can learn more about the project at the District 4 website, http://www.dot.state.pa.us/Penndot/ Districts/district4.nsf/ or by calling 511 for daily recorded trafc information.

Carmella Yenkevich will appear on the Democratic ballot for Hazleton Area School Board in the General Election in November. A special election held Tuesday for four open seats on the Hazleton Area School Board yielded different results than the botched May primary, giving the previously unsuccessful incumbent candidate a shot at keeping her seat. Yenkevich, of Hazleton, came in fifth on both the Democrat and Republican ballots for four open seats in the May primary. But Im very happy on the Democrat side and well see what happens in November, a tired Yenkevich, who was at home when the results came in, said in a phone interview Tuesday night. She was appreciative for the support she received and grateful to those who came out to vote for a second time. Yenkevich in June filed a court action, contending its pos-

Carmella Yenkevich, left, a candidate running for a seat on the Hazleton Area school Board, stands outside the polls at the Keystone Volunteer Fire Co. in McAdoo, schuylkill County, talking with voter John stalgaitis, of McAdoo, on Tuesday during a special election. The election was held after luzerne County failed to notify Carbon and schuylkill counties that a school board candidate had withdrawn from the race in May.

sible she could have won the nominations for both Republican and Democratic parties to retain her school board seat if votes werent cast for a candidate whose name should not have appeared on the ballot in Schuylkill and Carbon counties. Steve Hahn had filed withdrawal papers with Luzerne County before the May primary, but

Marissa Crispell-Barber, director of Luzerne Countys Election Bureau, failed to inform election officials in Schuylkill and Carbon counties that Hahn had withdrawn. So, Hahn wrongfully appeared on the ballot in those counties and received 279 Republican and 273 Democratic votes that could have gone to other contenders and altered

the outcome. Yenkevich won 1,850 votes on the Democratic ticket in May, eight shy of the 1,858 votes Jarred ODonnell took to come in fourth. She was 33 votes behind Clarence John on the Republican ticket, taking 1,589 votes to Johns 1,622. Luzerne County judges Thomas Burke and Michael Vough ordered the special election and also ordered that Luzerne County reimburse Yenkevichs attorney $871.20 for costs associated with the lawsuit. It was decided that those voters from Carbon and Schuylkill

counties who voted in the May primary would be allowed to vote in the special election. The results from Luzerne County from the May primary were valid and certified. On Tuesday, Yenkevich won 1,630 Democrat votes compared to ODonnells 1,614. On the Republican side, John knocked out Yenkevich by 33 votes the same edge he had in May to retain his fourth-place win. James G. Chapman, Bob Mehalick and John retained their firstthrough third-place rankings on the Democrat ticket on Tuesday, while

Mehalick, Chapman and ODonnell kept theirs on the GOP roster. I did overcome Jared on the Democrat side, I just came up short on the Republican, Yenkevich said. She said she worked hard campaigning in Schuylkill and Carbon counties prior to the special election, but it was easier in a sense than campaigning before the May primary because she was able to target only those registered voters who voted in the primary 1,382 in five precincts in Schuylkill County in 561 in two precincts in Carbon County.

Release sought for 8 protesters detained at border

JACQUEs BIllEAUD to America illegally when they were children, tried to re-enter the U.S. at the Nogales port of entry in southern Arizona on Monday to protest immigration policies. Tucson attorney Margo Cowan said Tuesday that immigration ofcers in the U.S. turned down her clients request for humanitarian parole that would temporarily allow them to come into the country, so she is now seeking asylum. Cowan said she would seek her clients release from a Pinal County immigration detention center while their asylum applications are being litigated. They certainly cant be considered a ight risk because they asked the U.S. to admit them, Cowan said. The group tried to reenter the U.S. as a way to draw attention to the huge jump in deportations carried out under the Obama administration, and to reafrm their attachment to the country where they were raised. They wore graduation caps and gowns to show they are productive members of society and want the country to open its doors to them. U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the agency responsible for determining whether immigrants at ports of entry can enter the country, declined to comment on the detentions Tuesday, citing privacy laws. Lenni B. Benson, a New York Law School professor who specializes in immigration, said people applying for asylum need to establish a fear of persecution based on race, religion, national origin or political opinions if they were to return to the country where they were born or the country where they last lived. People who have been granted asylum can apply to become permanent legal residents in the U.S., Benson said. Benson said she believes government lawyers would likely try to undercut the arguments for asylum for the eight people by pointing out that they voluntarily returned to Mexico. But Benson said their voluntarily trip to Mexico probably wouldnt be a deciding factor for an immigration judge. It might be something that the judge might take into consideration in the totality of circumstances, Benson said. Cowan said the protesters decision to go to Mexico wouldnt undercut their asylum application. They have been out of Mexico their whole lives, Cowan said. They have no idea what Mexico is like today for them, and now they know.

PolICE BloTTER
WRIGHT TWP. A Mountain Top man charged in June by the state Office of Attorney General in Operation Shape Up, which targeted a cocaine and marijuana trafficking ring, was arraigned Tuesday on allegations he tampered with an electrical meter. Freddy Reyes, 45, of Coplay Place, was charged with criminal mischief. He was remanded to the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $5,000 bail. He has been jailed since his arrest on June 27 for lack of $1 million bail on drug trafficking offenses. Township police allege in the criminal complaint that an illegal wire was attached to the PPL electrical meter at Reyes residence. The wire attachment ran to the basement of the house to a separate junction box, the complaint says. Police said in the complaint it cost $4,159 in materials to replace the electrical line. A preliminary hearing on the latest charge is scheduled on July 31. Reyes was one of 17 people charged by the state in a cocaine and marijuana trafficking ring centered at the Master Barbershop on Hazle Avenue in Wilkes-Barre, according to court records and a news release. WIlKEs-BARRE A city man was arraigned Tuesday on charges he made several calls to 911 reporting that a baby was in distress and needed help. Police allege Keith Gilroy, 55, was intoxicated when he called 911 twice on Monday and once just after midnight Tuesday claiming a baby was in danger. Gilroy identified himself as Joe Miller and told police his address was on Orchard Street in Wilkes-Barre. When an officer arrived at the Orchard Street residence at 12:11 a.m., Gilroy stumbled outside. The officer asked Gilroy if the officer could speak to a Joe Miller. Police said Gilroy laughed, saying, That was me, man. Police said Gilroy nearly fell twice and appeared to be unable to care for a lit cigarette allowing it to burn down between his fingers, the complaint says. Gilroy told police he had concerns because of a visit to the residence by police and a child caseworker Monday afternoon. Police said no baby was found inside the residence. Gilroy was charged with making a false alarm to a public safety agency and public drunkenness. He was released on $5,000 unsecured bail. HAZlEToN State police at Hazleton will be conducting a sobriety checkpoint within the southern region of Luzerne County the weekend of July 26-28. KINGsToN Malinda Ann Hock, 33, of South Sherman Street, Wilkes-Barre, was arraigned Tuesday on charges of receiving stolen property, firearms not to be carried without a license, possession of a small amount of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, driving with a suspended license and a vehicle violation. She was jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $15,000 bail. Police said they stopped Hock for driving a Jeep Cherokee without headlights on Market Street at about 3:10 a.m. Tuesday. A loaded .38 caliber pistol and a grinder containing suspected marijuana were allegedly found inside the vehicle, according to the criminal complaint. Police said the handgun was reported stolen during a burglary in Philadelphia. A preliminary hearing is scheduled on July 31.

Solomon Container Service is offering a free recycling drop-off for a variety of used or obsolete electronics from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday for all WilkesBarre residents. Electronics may be dropped off at Solomon Container Service, 495 Stanton St. Only electronic items will be accepted for recycling. Household appliances, including air conditioners and lawn mowers, are not acceptable. Also, paper documents will be shredded at no charge.

Prison change limits Selenski access to attorneys

WILKES-BARRE Double-homicide suspect Hugo Selenski is expected to be transferred from the Luzerne County Correctional Facility to the State Correctional Institution at Mahanoy City, which has stricter rules and policies for when attorneys meet with their clients. For example, hand-to-hand exchanges of letters and court documents between Selinski, 39, and his attorneys, Shelley Centini and Edward Rymsza, will end, at least temporarily. Deputy Warden James Larson testied at a hearing in March that it took two correctional ofcers to walk Selenski from his cell in the restrictive housing unit to the inmate visitors room Selenski to meet with his legal defense team. The two ofcers stood outside the glass-enclosed room, Larson said. Centini and Rymsza met with Selenski in a private, glass-enclosed room equipped with a panic button at the county prison. They were free to pass letters and documents whenever they met. Judge Fred Pierantoni III on Friday ordered Selenski to be returned to SCIMahanoy City now that his trial for the strangulation deaths of Tammy Fassett and Michael Kerkowski has been continued amid an undisclosed grand jury investigation connected to the decade-old Selenski case. Selenski was still at the county prison on Tuesday. He has been bounced back and forth between the county facility and SCI-Mahanoy City several times as his lawyers sought easier access to him. Assistant District Attorney Jarrett Ferentino said during the March hearing that Centini visited Selenski 144 times, Rymsza met Selenski 17 times and James Sulima, a retired Pittston city police detective who owns JS Investigation Consulting, met Selenski numerous times. Sulima is working as an investigator for Centini and Rymsza. Pierantoni in March ordered Selenski returned to SCI-Mahanoy City. He was brought back to the county prison in early June in preparation of his trial that was scheduled to begin Aug. 4. Susan McNaughton, spokesperson for the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections, said state prisons offer attorney visiting rooms and attorneys may bring items to show their clients. Inmates are not permitted to take anything, including paperwork, into the visiting room and are not allowed to take anything from the visiting room, including legal material. Inmates not approved for contact visits would have non-contact visits with their attorneys separated by glass and using a phone.

Nineteen Pennsylvania airports will make safety enhancements and improve their operations with the aid of a $2.1 million state investment that was announced Tuesday. The Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton International Airport near Avoca will receive $300,000 to expand the aireld fuel facility. The estimated cost of the project is $400,000; the state will pay 75 percent of Centini total project cost, with the airport paying the remaining 25 percent. Airport Director Barry J. Centini said the plan calls for adding 20,000 gallons of jet fuel storage tanks to the 30,000 gallons the airport can currently store. The project will soon go out to bid and could start as early as this year, Centini said.

WILKES-BARRE

WILKES-BARRE Years ago someone termed the Hotel Sterling a magnicent wreck. That was before years of neglect caused the oncegrand hotel to, as a city inspector said, come down from the inside out. On Thursday, Brdaric Construction Co. will begin taking down the condemned seven-story structure on North River Street from the outside. The Luzernebased company has moved all of its heavy equipment onto the site, and when the whistle blows at 7 a.m., the 115-year-old building will be taken down piece by piece. Its going to go slow, said John Brdaric, owner of the company. Its not like were imploding it. This will take three to four weeks to get down. Brdaric said trafc patterns wont change much until the demolition gets to the River Street side of the building. At that time, trafc delays and stops will occur. Butch Frati, the citys director of operations, has advised motorists to avoid that area. We just want to get the job done and do it safely, Brdaric said. Reality setting in Sally Healey, who headed a group that fought to save the Sterling, said she wont be around when the demolition begins. Its still difcult, she

More heavy equipment was brought to the site of the Hotel Sterling on tuesday morning. Demolition of the 115-year-old landmark is set to begin thursday morning. traffic delays and restrictions will begin then with most of the impact felt by drivers entering Wilkes-Barre via the Market Street Bridge.

The city has announced that drivers in Wilkes-Barre may experience traffic delays today near the Hotel Sterling. Verizon crews will be on-site completing work underground at Market and River streets beginning at 7 a.m. Traffic controls will be in the area with flaggers on both Market and River Streets. Market Street traffic entering the city will be most impacted by this work and it is expected to continue throughout most of the day. said. The Sterling coming down symbolizes the attitude of the county and of the city of not restoring historical buildings. And, Healey said, surely the Sterling was historic. But she and Fred George, a 22-year employee of the Sterling, wont bear witness to demolition. Instead, I will be thinking of all the great times that so many of us had at the Sterling, Healey said. Its over and its sad. And its just too bad we couldnt turn this all around. George said he might stop by today to take a last

look at the place he calls his second home. What could I do? he wondered. I prefer to remember it as it was. I cant watch it come down it hurts too much. History erased Some historical items already removed from the Sterling have been taken to the Luzerne County Historical Societys Swetland Homestead in Forty Fort. Also, a magnicent chandelier that hung in the Sterling lobby has found a home at Canteen 900 on Rutter Avenue. Owner of the building that houses the restaurant Abby Billek-Singh bought

the 800-pound chandelier made of cut crystal through Travers Auctions in Dallas and had it restored. He said he paid around $1,500 for it and it took a month to restore it. In a 2002 a Times Leader story about an auction held to sell some of the hotel items, former Sterling owner June Camera said she fell in love with the hotel when her husband bought it and dreamed of playing a part in restoring it. CityVest, a nonprot developer, purchased the shuttered Sterling for $1 million at a tax sale but was unable to nd a developer to renovate it.

Flora made job transition difficult, new public defender says

sdelazio@timesleader.com

SHEENA DELAZIO

WILKES-BARRE Chief Public Defender Steven Greenwald said in court papers filed recently that his predecessor made his transition difficult at best and made allegations that Greenwald says border on defamatory. The chief public defender position is one that attorney Al Flora wants back and he has two pending lawsuits involving the office. Greenwalds claims were made in an affidavit filed in May in reference to a federal lawsuit filed in April 2012 in which Flora seeks to be reap-

pointed as the chief public defender. Flora also filed a suit in April 2012 against the county and county Manager Robert Lawton, claiming the Public Defenders Office was so underfunded and understaffed it could not provide adequate defense to indigent Flora clients. The situation had become so dire, Flora argued, that he was compelled to limit the type of cases the office would accept. That case is currently pending in federal court.

Last week, attorneys for the county filed court papers seeking to have Floras lawsuit to regain his position thrown out, citing the lack of a claim for which relief may be granted against the county. Flora alleged in his suit that he was terminated in retaliation for a previous lawsuit involving indigent defendants. In Greenwalds affidavit, he says that when his appointment as chief public defender became effective on April 29, he became aware of facts and circumstances which made the transition to take

office difficult at best. Greenwald, who was confirmed for the position by county council at an annual salary of $90,000 on April 9 after Flora was terminated, said the information he received includes that comments were made that office workers not cooperate with him and that some attorneys should start looking for other jobs. Said information is false and was and continues to be problematic for me in the performance of my duties, Greenwald wrote. He said allegations that he will not work to represent the interest of indigent defendants is false,

personally demeaning, with improper motive and borders on defamatory. Flora could not be reached for comment Tuesday. An attorney who represents Flora, Kimberly Borland, referred comment to Floras attorney from the American Civil Liberties Union, Mary Catherine Roper. We dispute Mr. Greenwalds statement entirely, she said. The evidence will show what we have said all along that Al Flora was replaced and then fired because of his efforts to protect the rights of indigent defendants in Luzerne County.

47 rescued from Gulf rig after blowout

Associated Press

KEVIN McGILL

NEW ORLEANS Natural gas owed uncontrolled from a well off the Louisiana coast on Tuesday after a blowout that forced the evacuation of 47 workers aboard a drilling rig, authorities said. No injuries or res were reported. The federal Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement said inspectors

ying over the site Tuesday saw a light sheen covering an area about a half-mile by 50 feet. However, it was dissipating quickly. The bureau says the blowout happened south of Grand Isle, about 55 miles offshore, where the water depth was reported as 154 feet. Earlier this month, a gas well owed for several days before being sealed off the Louisiana coast. In 2010, an oil rig explod-

ed off the states coast, leading to a blowout that spewed millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico in the worst offshore disaster in the United States. Tuesdays blowout occurred near an unmanned offshore gas platform that was not currently producing natural gas, said Eileen Angelico, spokeswoman for the bureau. The workers were aboard a portable drilling rig known as a jackup rig, operated by

Hercules Offshore. Hercules said in a news release that it was operating the rig for Walter Oil & Gas Corp. Walter Oil & Gas reported to the BSEE that the rig was completing a sidetrack well a means of re-entering the original well bore, Angelico said. The purpose of the sidetrack well in this instance was not immediately clear. Industry websites say sidetrack wells are sometimes

drilled to remedy a problem with the existing well bore. Its a way to overcome an engineering problem with the original well, Ken Medlock, an energy expert at Rice Universitys Baker Institute said. Theyre not drilled all the time, but its not new. A woman who answered the phone at Walter Oil & Gas in Houston said company ofcials would provide information later.

DONNA CASSATA

Lawmakers are advancing legislation to withhold $5 in foreign aid to Afghanistan for every $1 in taxes imposed by President Hamid Karzais government on U.S. goods taken out of the country. Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy says he has seen some stupid things from Afghanistans government, but the threat of exit tax on American property goes beyond the pale. Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said talk of such taxes after 12 years of U.S.-led stabilization efforts was ridiculous. The legislation was included as an amendment to the Senates 2014 foreign operations bill. A Senate Appropriations subcommittee passed it by voice vote Tuesday.

Rescuers with shovels and sniffer dogs chipped away at collapsed hillsides Tuesday as the death toll rose to 94 from a strong earthquake in a farming region of northwest China. Just one person was listed as missing and 1,001 as injured in Monday mornings quake near the city of Dingxi in Gansu province. About 123,000 people were affected by the quake, with 31,600 moved to temporary shelters, the provincial earthquake administration said on its website. Almost 2,000 homes were completely destroyed, and about 22,500 damaged, the administration said. The quake toppled brick walls and telephone lines, shattered mud-andtile-roofed houses and sent cascades of dirt and rock down hillsides, blocking roads and slowing rescue efforts by crews trying to reach remote areas.

Immigration plan unpopular with Dems

GOP leaders havent released bill yet, but that didnt stop Democrats from deriding it.

LAS VEGAS

Policeman killed rescuing hiker

Authorities have identied a 36-year-old Las Vegas police ofcer killed in a fall while trying to rescue a stranded hiker on Mt. Charleston northwest of the city. Police say David Vanbuskirk was killed Monday night while responding to an area just above Mary Jane Falls. Las Vegas police assistant sheriff Joseph Lombardo says the area was too difcult to access by foot, so rescuers used a helicopter to hoist the hiker to safety. Vanbuskirk became separated from the hiker at some point during the rescue and fell from a cliff. Lombardo didnt say how far the ofcer fell.

WASHINGTON House Republicans took a tentative step toward offering citizenship to some unauthorized immigrants Tuesday, but hit an immediate wall of resistance from the White House on down as Democrats said it wasnt enough. The dismissive reaction to the GOP proposal to offer eventual citizenship to some immigrants brought illegally to the U.S. as children underscored the difculties of nding any compromise in the Republican-led House on the politically explosive issue of immigration. That left prospects cloudy for one of President Barack Obamas top second-term

priorities. Congress is preparing to break for a monthlong summer recess at the end of next week without action in the full House on any immigration legislation, even after the Senate passed a sweeping bipartisan bill last month to secure the borders and create a path to citizenship for the 11 million immigrants already in the country illegally. The back-and-forth began hours before the House Judiciary Committee opened a hearing Tuesday afternoon on the question of legal status for immigrants brought here as children. House leaders havent released their bill yet but that didnt stop Democrats from dismissing it even

before the hearing began, saying that any solution that doesnt offer citizenship to all 11 million immigrants here illegally falls short. Over Twitter, White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer slammed the cruel hypocrisy of the GOP immigration plan: allow some kids to stay but deport their parents. That got a counterattack from House Majority Leader Eric Cantor spokesman Rory Cooper. If White House opposes effort to give children path to staying in only country they know, how serious are they about immigration reform? Cooper responded over Twitter. In fact, Democrats and

immigration advocates pushed hard in past years for legislation offering citizenship to immigrants brought as youths. The so-called DREAM Act passed the House in 2010 when it was controlled by Democrats, but was blocked by Senate Republicans. But now, with a comprehensive solution like the one passed by the Senate in sight, Democrats and outside activists say they wont settle for anything less. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, insisted that though he has rejected the Senate bill, House Republicans are committed to dealing with immigration, they just want to do it in a step-by-step and deliberate fashion.

Cop who leaked Tsarnaev photos disciplined

Jerusalem stays on U.S. passports

A federal appeals court has declared unconstitutional a law allowing Americans born in Jerusalem to list Israel as their birthplace on their U.S. passports. The three-judge panel said Tuesday that the 2002 law impermissibly infringes on the presidents exercise of the power to recognize foreign governments. The case was brought by parents of an American boy named Menachem Zivotofsky, who was born in a Jerusalem hospital soon after the law was passed. The parents wanted to list Israel as his birthplace, but the U.S. has refused to recognize any nations sovereignty over Jerusalem since Israels creation in 1948 so the boys U.S. passport only says Jerusalem as his birthplace.

FRAMINGHAM, Mass. A state police photographer who released photos of the bloodied Boston Marathon bombing suspect during his capture was placed on restricted duty Tuesday. Sgt. Sean Murphy said he leaked the photos of what he called the face of terror to Boston magazine last week to counter a glamorized image of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. Three of Murphys 14 photos show a battered and blood-streaked Tsarnaev emerging from a boat in a backyard, the red dot of a snipers laser sight trained on his head. Murphy wasnt authorized to release the photos. He already served a oneday, unpaid suspension and has received another five-day unpaid suspension. After a status hearing at state police headquarters Tuesday, Murphy was placed on desk duty, where he wont have con-

tact with the public, until an internal investigation is complete. Col. Timothy Alben, the commander of the state police, said more discipline is conceivable, but he ruled out the possibility that Murphy would be red. I dont see Sgt. Murphy being terminated for this particular set of circumstances, he said. After the hearing, Murphy declined to comment, except to say, Life is good. Murphys 19-year-old son, Connor Murphy, said he couldnt be more proud of his father, praising him as a man of integrity and noting his father never tried to hide what he had done. If I could be one quarter of a man that he is now, Ill be more than happy with my life, he said. Alben said the rules Murphy is accused of violating aim to ensure police dont leak information that could jeopardize investigations. But he added that discipline against Murphy in this case doesnt mean we have any less empathy

or concern or sympathy for people or families that lost loved ones or who were severely injured throughout that incident. Alben also indicated strong support for Murphy within his agency, noting Murphy had a previously unblemished disciplinary record. He said Murphy was a conscientious man whom he believes was motivated to release the photos based on his own personal convictions. I dont think that should

ever be misconstrued or misunderstood that this organization, this Massachusetts State Police, is not made of 2,100 people who might share similar feelings about that, including this colonel, he said, The U.S. Attorneys Office called the release of the photos completely unacceptable, and some attorneys said the images and Murphys comments could be used to argue government bias against Tsarnaev.

WASHINGTON The authority of the National Security Agency to collect phone records of millions of Americans sharply divided members of Congress on Tuesday as the House pressed ahead on legislation to fund the nations military. Tea party conservaDempsey tives and liberal Democrats backed an amendment to the $598.3 million defense bill that would end the NSAs authority under the Patriot Act, preventing the government agency from collecting records unless an individual is under investigation. That measure, along with another to cut off funds for the NSA, drew criticism from the leaders of the Senate Intelligence committee, who argued that the surveillance programs have helped disrupt numerous attempted terrorist attacks. The House is likely to vote on those amendments today. Former NSA systems analyst Edward Snowden leaked documents last month that revealed that the NSA had collected phone records, while a second NSA program forced major Internet companies to turn over contents of communications to the government. Leaders in Congress, such as House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers, R-Mich., have strongly defended the programs, but libertarian lawmakers and liberals have expressed serious concerns about the governments surveillance. The overall defense spending bill would provide the Pentagon with $512.5 billion for weapons, personnel, aircraft and ships plus $85.8 billion for the war in Afghanistan for the scal year beginning Oct. 1. The bill is $5.1 billion below current spending and has drawn a veto threat from the White House, which argues that it would force the administration to cut education, health research and other domestic programs to boost spending for the Pentagon. In a leap of faith, the bill assumes that Congress and the administration will resolve the automatic, across-the-board spending cuts that have forced the Pentagon to furlough workers and cut back on training. The bill projects spending in the next scal year at $28.1 billion above the so-called sequester level. Republican leaders struggled to limit amendments on the overall bill, concerned about hampering the presidents national security and anti-terrorism efforts. The House also will consider an amendment that would bar funds for any military action in Syria if it violated the War Powers Resolution. Another amendment would prohibit money to fund military or paramilitary operations in Egypt. In a letter to the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Gen. Martin Dempsey outlined the risks, costs and benets of ve potential steps as the Obama administration weighs its next move to help the opposition battling the forces of President Bashar Assad.

William, Kate show off little future monarch

SYLVIA HUI
Associated Press

LONDON A beaming Prince William and his wife, Kate, emerged from a London hospital on Tuesday with their newborn baby boy, presenting the world with a rst glimpse of the prince who is third in line to the British throne. The royal couple waved at the crowds of journalists and onlookers gathered outside Londons St. Marys Hospital, posing for photographs and joking with reporters. Kate, wearing a baby blue polka dot dress, smiled and waved as she stepped out from the hospital doors with the future monarch in her arms. Its very emotional. Its such a special time. I think any parent will know what this feeling feels like, she said.

She then gave the baby to her husband, who, cradling their child, said: Hes got her looks, thankfully. Hes got a good pair of lungs on him, thats for sure. William added: Hes a big boy. Hes quite heavy, and laughed when a reporter asked him about the babys hair. Hes got way more than me, thank God, he said. The prince said they are still determining what to name the baby. The couple re-entered the hospital to place the child in a car seat before re-emerging to get into an SUV. William drove the couple away palace ofcials said they will head to an apartment in Kensington Palace. The young familys rst public appearance together has been the moment that the worlds media and crowds of onlookers camped outside the hospi-

tal had long been waiting for, and the photographs snapped Tuesday are likely to be reprinted for decades as the baby grows into adulthood and his role as a future king. The appearance recalls a similar appearance three decades ago, when Princess Diana and Prince Charles carried the newborn William out to pose for photographs on the same steps in 1982. Earlier, grandparents Prince Charles, his wife, Camilla, and Michael and Carole Middleton Kates parents were the rst relatives to visit the young family at the hospital. Charles called the baby marvelous, while a beaming Carole Middleton described the infant as absolutely beautiful. The couples Kensington Palace ofce said Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, gave birth to the 8 pound,

6 ounce baby boy at 4:24 p.m. Monday. The news was greeted with shrieks of joy and excited applause by hundreds of Britons and tourists gathered outside the hospital and Buckingham Palace. Revelers staged impromptu parties at both locations, and large crowds crushed against the palace gates to try to catch a glimpse and a photograph of the golden easel placed there to formally announce the birth. Hundreds were still lining up outside the palace gates Tuesday to get near the ornate easel. In London, gun salutes were red, celebratory lights came on, and bells chimed at Westminster Abbey, where William and Kate wed in a lavish ceremony that drew millions of television viewers worldwide.

In U.S., we carry on over the royal birth

TESS KORNFELD

AMERICAS NEW CAR ALTERNATIVE

WILKES-BARRE Although the United States left the British Empire in 1776, Americans remain obsessed with Englands royal family. That played out this week when Kate Middleton gave birth to a baby boy while major U.S. news outlets waited outside of St. Marys Hospitals Lindo Wing in London. Dr. Mark Stine, Communications Studies chairman at Wilkes University, said Americans are overly curious about Prince William and his wife because they are Britains next chapter in social news, and Americans appreciate a good storyline. We want to see this story develop, and we want to see the royal couple live happily ever after, Stine said, especially since the late Princess Diana and Prince Charles relationship ended tragically. Stine said another reason is people living under the British crown view it as an important cultural event, and U.S. citizens recognize that. Stine also believes Americans have a strong interest because the U.S. does not have a royal family, and the media see coverage in Britain an opportunity to increase ratings. Royally interesting Locally, people are intrigued by the royal baby news. Michele Drago, 23, of Larksville, has a royal baby name pool with her friends.

She thinks the media are heavily covering the royal baby birth because the line is blurred between celebrity and royal. As Americans, we see them more as celebrities than royalty, Drago said. For example, entertainment shows such as Inside Edition lead off with the royal baby news Monday night. In addition, Kate Middleton and reality TV celebrity Kim Kardashian were pregnant at the same time, and the two were compared throughout their pregnancies in gossip magazines. Stine also said intense media coverage of the royal family is nothing new. For example, BBC did a seven-hour live stream of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. In 1982, Princess Diana asked to be induced into labor because she could not handle the pressure of the media any longer. The media exploiting this is something that goes back to early television in Great Britain, he said. Stine also said the media coverage of the birth of Prince William 30 years ago was similar to todays coverage, but what makes it different is the immediacy of communication. The whole idea that we can instantly get a tweet adds to the frenzy, he said. Social media reacts During the rst three weeks of July, members of Twitter seemed obsessed with the pending due date of Kate Middleton and even created a hashtag, the

#greatkatewait. When news broke Monday that Kate was in labor, royal baby mentions reached a peak of 25,300 tweets per minute and the #royalbaby hashtag was used more than 900,000 times, according to Twitter.

Although that seems like a large number, it failed to beat the tweet per minute counts of the election of Pope Francis with 132,000 tweets and the reelection of President Barack Obama with 237,00 tweets every 60 seconds in November.

Man,29,pleads guilty to stabbing,injuring another

WILKES-BARRE A Scranton man charged with stabbing another man during an argument in May 2009 inside a Wilkes-Barre home plead-

ed guilty Tuesday to a related charge. Nathan D. Gilman, 29, of Kennedy Drive, Scranton, pleaded guilty to a charge of aggravated assault at a hearing before county Judge David Lupas.

Gilman, who faces a maximum of 10 years in prison, will be sentenced on Sept. 23, Lupas said. Gilmans attorney, Joseph Yeager, asked that his client be released on bail pending the sentencing, a request Lupas granted. Gilman must reside with his brother in Scranton and is released on $5,000 unsecured bail pending any other detainers, Lupas said. Gilman had been lodged at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility on warrants for failing to appear for court proceedings. According to court papers, Wilkes-Barre police were called to a

1326 N. Washington St. home on May 23, 2009, for a report of someone being stabbed. Police interviewed Billy Brennan, who said he was at the home with some friends drinking beer when an argument occurred and Gilman stabbed him. Brennan said he had gone to an upstairs bedroom to sleep. When he returned downstairs, he learned one of the women in the house was going to leave with her two friends, according to the criminal complaint. Brennan told police this upset him because he didnt want anyone drinking and driving. Brennan said he went

outside to cool off and spoke with a male friend about Gilman and one of the women fooling around. The complaint stated Brennan began to gather his belongings because he didnt want to remain at the home when Gilman confronted him. Brennan said an altercation began and Gilman stabbed him in the right side. Brennan told police he grabbed the knife to stop the attack and was cut on his left hand. Brennan was taken to an area hospital, where he underwent surgery and received a number of stitches.

WILKES-BARRE A city man charged with having inappropriate contact with a teenage girl and ghting with police ofcers pleaded guilty Tuesday to related charges. Ronald Franklin, 52, of Academy Street, entered the plea to two counts of indecent assault and one count each of resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and public drunkenness. County Judge Joseph Sklarosky Jr. said Franklin will be sentenced on Oct. 25. Franklin must have no contact with the girl involved or anyone else under 18, and he cannot visit places minors frequent, Sklarosky said. Franklin will be required to register his address under Megans Law for 25 years. Police were notied on Jan. 19 of the report of a 16-year-old girl who was touched inappropriately by Franklin, according to court papers.

Police said they spoke with the girl, who said she was on Public Square in Wilkes-Barre when a man started to follow her. The girl went into a nearby store, telling employees she was being followed. After she thought the man left, she started walking home. On her way, the girl said, the man, later identied as Franklin, cornered her against a row house and fondled her. Franklin became startled by passing cars, and Johnson went to an Academy Street house for help. Police saw Franklin walking nearby, and the girl pointed him out. Police said Franklin yelled, I didnt do nothing and that they could smell alcohol. Franklin fought with police, they said. He was handcuffed after a struggle in which an ofcer said he injured his back. An ofcer said Franklin tried to spit at him and later apologized for ghting with the ofcer and touching the girl.

West Wyoming seeks to put brakes on hauling firm

Borough files injunction against Russells Hauling Co.
SHEENA DELAZIO
sdelazio@timesleader.com

WEST WYOMING Borough ofcials are attempting to shut down an Apollo Drive hauling company, according to court papers led Tuesday, citing residents complaints and ordinance violations. The borough, through its solicitor, Linell Lukesh, of Philadelphia, led a request in Luzerne County Court for a special injunction against Russells Hauling Co., owned by borough resident Joseph Russell. The petition seeks to order a cease and desist of the companys operations until a county zoning hearing is addressed, because neighbors who live nearby say they are unable to enjoy their properties. Between April 2012 and the present, the court ling states, nearby property owners have experienced detrimental living conditions due to noise, smells, smoke and other violations coming from Russells

Hauling Co. Russell said Tuesday he has done nothing wrong and has not received violations from the state Department of Environmental Protection or any similar agency. Russell said his business, which opened in February 2012, employs ve people, and the metalrecycling business supports their families and his own. Sometimes Im at home with my wife watching TV, and (the borough is) calling with noise complaints and other random phone calls against me. Its getting ridiculous, he said. Russell said he is only trying to run a business and hell ght for what is right. Russell noted he has hired attorneys to represent him. Theres been complaint after complaint, and I dont see how they can do that. In September 2012, Russells Hauling applied to the county Zoning Hearing Board for a special excep-

tion to operate a multi-use recycling and junkyard at the 12 Apollo Drive business. That request was later denied, and Russell appealed that decision. Its appeal is still pending.

The borough says Russells Hauling has been cited at the district judge level and ned up to $1,000, according to the ling. Residents Charles Umphred and Cynthia Kennelly, of Ferretti Drive, as well as other residents

on that street, are unable to enjoy their properties, according to the ling. If Russells Hauling continues to operate, it will cause immediate and irreparable harm to the residents on Ferretti Drive and to the local police force, as well as

the code enforcement ofcer, the ling states. The borough seeks to have business stopped at Russells Hauling until the boroughs appeal is heard by a county judge. The ling states previous businesses operated

at the Apollo Drive building, owned by John Tafani, including a cabinet-making business that was run complaint-free. Luzerne County Judge Lesa Gelb scheduled a hearing on the boroughs request for Aug. 10.

THE FUTURE OF THIS LAND IS IN OUR HANDS.

HYDRAULIC FRACTURING IS PROVIDING ENERGY AND HOPE.
For ve generations, the Kern family has called this ranch home. Which is why they learned the facts before allowing hydraulic fracturing on their property. The Kerns discovered that the industry is using strict precautions to make sure the process is done safely. Which includes encasing wells in multiple layers of steel to unlock abundant supplies of oil and natural gas while protecting the land, water and air. Its the right way to secure Americas

NEW YORK New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner admitted on Tuesday to sending additional explicit photos and texts to a woman he met online correspondence she says began months after he resigned from Congress for similar behavior. The allegation could severely test voters willingness to forgive Weiner, who has said he spent the two years since the scandal trying to make things right with his wife and earn redemption. Weiner, who resigned his House seat in June 2011 after acknowledg-

ing having sexual conversations with at least a half-dozen women, has been near the top of most mayoral polls since his late entry into the race this spring. I said that other texts and photos were likely to come out and today they have, said Weiner in a statement released by his campaign. I want to again say that I am very sorry to anyone who was on the receiving end of these messages and the disruption this has caused. Weiner did not say when the newly revealed exchanges occurred, but he said his behavior created challenges in our marriage that extended past my resignation.

HARRISBURG Plaintiffs challenging the constitutionality of Pennsylvanias new voter identication law presented their nal witnesses Tuesday in an effort to convince a state judge that it cannot be implemented without disenfranchising large numbers of voters. Three witnesses all older women who no longer have drivers licenses and rely mainly on relatives and friends for transportation testied in video recordings played before Commonwealth Court Judge Bernard McGinley. Lawyers for the plaintiffs say the yet-to-beenforced mandatory photo ID requirement, one of the strictest in the nation, would discourage many such people from exercising their right to vote. State ofcials say any registered voter who lacks an acceptable ID can get a special Pennsylvania Department of State voting-only ID for free through the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.

OTHER OPINION: GAS BOOM

No rush to drill near the Delaware

For most of the ve million yearly visitors to the upper Delaware River, the regions natural splendors offer an excellent setting to slow their normally hectic pace. Thats enough reason to ease the political pressure to open the region to natural-gas drilling, but theres more. Interstate regulators responsible for safeguarding drinking water for more than 15 million people must resist being stampeded into lifting the three-year-old moratorium on drilling in the Delaware watershed. The growing frustration of Gov. Corbett, energy-industry ofcials, and Northeastern Pennsylvania landowners banking on drilling royalties is understandable. Yet its reasonable for the Delaware River Basin Commission the multistate agency charged with oversight of the watershed to take all the time it needs to study the potential environmental risks of natural-gas extraction, which would involve pumping vast quantities of water, sand, and chemicals into miles-deep wells. Corbett recently accused the commission of delaying tactics that amount to a de facto drilling ban. Sen. Pat Toomey (R., Pa.) contended that the continued moratorium is unacceptable and tremendously unfair to the region. And Wayne County ofcials talked of irreparable economic harm. Meanwhile, the commission, which includes representatives of four states and the federal government, heard from environmentalists who feel just as strongly that there should be no rush to judgment on drilling. Joining them in urging caution was no less an authority than Harrisburgs former chief environmental watchdog, John Hanger, who is seeking the Democratic nomination to unseat Corbett next year. Taking into account Hangers political ambition, he still made a compelling case that the states regulatory efforts have not been adequate in the face of a doubling of drilling activity over the last two years. On top of that has come a clear signal to put on the brakes from a somewhat unlikely source: the gas industry itself. The recent announcement that two major companies digging wells in the region are pulling out of some leases due to soft prices for gas and other market issues means theres no need for the commission to rush to judgment to appease Corbett and others who want to speed up its analysis. As a basin commission spokesman noted recently, the agencys plans to craft regulatory safeguards for drilling in the watershed require parsing extremely complex scientic and policy issues. And there are high stakes for a large region if drilling and hydraulic fracturing are allowed to go ahead. What happens next? Well, the continued delays give the Corbett administration time to address what critics see as inadequate protection of public health in its oversight of natural-gas drilling. Also, the governor and state lawmakers could revisit the states drilling fees, which are among the nations most favorable to the industry. Under Republican control in Harrisburg, gas-drilling revenues have been restricted mostly to host communities, when the entire state could benet from more robust drilling fees. Despite the retreat of drillers eyeing more lucrative areas, Pennsylvanias gas boom is far from over. New wells are still being drilled. Its not too late to recalibrate the states oversight of the industry and its share of the wealth. And ofcials must proceed with caution in considering drilling near the swift currents of the Delaware. The Philadelphia Inquirer

cOMMENTARY: STATE SEN. LISA BOScOLA

Choosing safety of children over rights of sex offenders

Recently, in Lancaster County, a 5-year-old girl was allegedly kidnapped from her front yard. She was heroically rescued by two teenage boys who discovered her in the backseat of a car driven by suspect Harold Leroy Herr. The boys pursued the vehicle on bicycles until Herr released the girl and sped away. The little girl was gone only two hours, yet tragically, was sexually assaulted during that time. Herr, a registered sex offender who previously served a 20 year sentence for abducting and raping another 5-year-old girl, only needed a split second opportunity to abduct the young girl - and he took it. Making sure our children are safe is vital to me. Taking steps to assure that playgrounds, schools, and bus stops are safe places needs to be a paramount concern. This heartbreaking story boils down to two fundamental issues; Harold Leroy Herr, like many sexual predators, could not control his urges, and he had the opportunity to abduct an innocent 5-year-old girl to satisfy those urges. While we can argue about whether violent sexual offenders and predators can truly overcome their sickness and re-enter society, I believe it is imperative that we take stronger steps to protect those who cannot protect themselves. The truth of the matter is that these violent sexual predators do exist, and they are stalking our children. Once a child is in a predators clutches, we are all powerless. No one can help. We failed that child. Our permissive and nave approach to how we monitor sex offenders has relegated that child to the mercy of someone bent on hurting them. As a community, we are reduced to harrowing parental pleas and aimless searches that all too often culminate at landlls and shallow graves. According to national statistics, approximately 2,000 children go missing every day. About 58,000 of these cases annually turn out to be non-family abductions. While it is not my intent to frighten or alarm people by citing these numbers, these statistics speak volumes about the exposure and vulnerability of children in our society. Earlier this year, I reintroduced a legislative package aimed at making our children safer. One of my bills would ban sex offenders from living within 1,000 feet of a school, preschool, day care facility or public playground. The measure would also prohibit sex offenders from living within 500 feet from a school bus stop. This legislation, while no magic bullet, accomplishes something that is extremely important; it limits opportunity. I strongly believe that imposing reasonable residency restrictions for sex offenders from places children congregate is a step in the right direction. In fact, 27 other states agree with me and have enacted similar legislation. Senate Bill 86 provides families with an additional layer of protection knowing that sexual predators cannot reside next to places their children frequent. Through limiting opportunities for sexual predators, it is my hope that there will be fewer tragic cases like the one in Lancaster and that the most vulnerable members of our communities will be better protected.

OTHER OPINION: TIME FOR TV

Allow televised coverage of High Court hearings

As the Supreme Court handed down several landmark decisions at the end of its most recent term, Americans got the news through a modern version of the Pony Express. Cable television networks had interns and staffers, usually dressed in suits and sneakers, gather the printed decisions and sprint the several hundred feet down the steps of the court building to make the handoff to reporters, who then tried to decipher the complicated text in seconds. SCOTUSblog, the go-to website for high court junkies, has a reporter scan the decision and electronically relay the highlights to an editor, who posts it on the blog. Sometimes this awkward process goes awry, as it did when CNN wrongly reported the courts ruling on the Affordable Care Act. There really is a better way, if the justices would allow it. Thats live, televised coverage of their oral arguments and reading of their decisions. Most people view the Supreme Court as well, most dont really think about the court. Two-thirds of Americans cant name a single justice. Those who are familiar with the court seem to view it as almost mythical. And maybe thats what the justices want, but for such a powerful body to shield itself from the public eye is a disservice. Nearly all court sessions are open to the public, but only a handful of spectators can attend. There is no live audio or video transmission of open court sessions. Audio recording and transcripts of oral arguments are released after a delay, but there is no video recording. Its time to put cameras in the Supreme Court. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, recently introduced legislation that would require all open court sessions to be televised unless a majority of justices nd that cameras would violate the due-process rights of a party or parties in a case. Similar proposals have failed, but they have pushed the court toward more transparency. But cameras? Nope. Retired Supreme Court Justice David Souter once famously said, I can tell you the day you see a camera come into our courtroom, its going to roll over my dead body. Justice Anthony Kennedy has said cameras would cause his colleagues to behave theatrically to attract airtime. Justice Antonin Scalia has said televised proceedings would miseducate the public. Justice Elena Kagan is the only vocal proponent on the court for cameras. Its possible that some justices would preen for the cameras. But participants in televised hearings in lower courts have largely exhibited decorum. The conduct of the George Zimmerman trial was a good example low on theatrics, high on learning experience for those who viewed it. The court shouldnt need to be prodded into transparency. Justices, let the public see what youre doing. Chicago Tribune

YOUR OPINION: LETTERS FROM READERS

Civil rights, morality: Theres a difference

This letter is in response to your article of July 8 in which local legislators made comments on gay marriage. Several of our elected ofcials seem to have forgotten that sodomy is a moral not a civil rights issue. In referring to gay marriage, Senator John Blake said I believe our nation and our state are best served when we are committed to the expansion of civil rights, not the contraction of such rights for any of our citizens. Representative Phyllis Mundy also thinks that gay marriage is a civil rights issue. But is it? Unlike the color of your skin or your nationality, your sex life is a personal choice that has consequences. How we dene a marriage has huge implications for our children. Gays and lesbians are not being denied their civil rights in America. We acknowledge and afrm that they are both free and equal citizens. But in the majority of American states, we have refused to call immorality good or equal with marriage. When we depart from Gods blueprint for a family, our children suffer the results

of our moral ambiguity. Currently, the ACLU is suing our state government over this issue. Increasingly, this matter of gay and lesbian marriage is being brought before unelected judges in hopes of changing the moral face of America. But while this battle is fought in courtrooms across the country, please take a few moments to consider the differences between civil rights and morality. Remember we need to elect ofcials and judges who understand the differences as well.

Farewell to fighting for Hotel Sterling

There isnt much more I can do to save the Hotel Sterling from the wrecking ball. I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to express what many people have voiced to me since the summer of 2010. At that time, I had written a letter to the editor, my observation of the shameful deterioration of a once stately building that was recognized from all parts of the valley. Wilkes-Barre is not the city we

Pittston

grew up with, nor do those in control appreciate the architecture or heritage of the past century and a half. I had contacted several contractors, entrepreneurs, and bureaus, but because of the group of business people who inuence control they felt as I did. Investing in a city where there is high taxation, debt and crime, would not be feasible. It is no small wonder why there is an exodus of the tax-paying residents.

County OKs funding for storm-related fix-ups

Paterno
From page 1A the lawsuit was led in late May. The NCAA also asked for related complaints against NCAA president Mark Emmert and Oregon State president Ed Ray to be dismissed for lack of merit. Ray was chair of the NCAA executive committee when the penalties were announced. Universities must be free to manage their own affairs, including their membership in the NCAA, without interference by disappointed or disgruntled individuals, Remy said. While the plaintiffs may be unhappy with the conclusions and universitys acceptance of the Freeh Report, the plaintiffs in this case were not sanctioned by the NCAA and have no legal basis to sue. Paul Kelly, a lawyer representing the plaintiffs other than the Paterno family, said Tuesday he had not a chance yet to review the NCAAs lengthy response. The landmark sanctions were announced a year ago Tuesday, on July 23, 2012. They included a four-year bowl ban, steep scholarship cuts and a $60 million ne. The penalties, and the NCAAs handling of the Penn State case, remain the subject of scrutiny among some alumni, area residents and Pennsylvania politicians, as well as in the courts. Earlier Tuesday, three trustees who took seats earlier this month offered support for the ve board colleagues involved in the litigation. The suit said the NCAA bypassed the organizations own rules in levying penalties against the football program with uncharacteristic speed. The lawsuit also attacks Freehs handling of the internal investigation, along with how and why the NCAA used Freehs report as a basis for sanctions. We rmly believe that truth and justice should never fear an open hearing and review whether in the courts or before the Board of Trustees, trustees Ted Brown, Barbara Doran and William Oldsey said in their joint statement. The alumni-elected trustees elected this spring were endorsed by an alumni watchdog group that has been critical of the decisions of board leaders after the scandal began with Sanduskys arrest in November 2011, including Paternos ring. The NCAA ling came on the same day that Penn State issued a statement on bowl revenue. The schools nearly $2.3 million share of bowl revenue has been divided among the Big Tens 12 member schools, including Penn State, to distribute for causes focused on child protection or advocacy. The school said the individual share for each school amounted to more than $188,000. The Nittany Lions nished the 2012 season bowl-eligible at 8-4, but were banned from the postseason as part of NCAA sanctions for the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal. The $2.3 million represents Penn States share of conference bowl revenue had the school been allowed to play in the postseason. Penn State said its portion of the carved-up bowl share would be funneled through the Centre County United Way with instructions to split the money between the Stewards of Children program and the Childrens Advocacy Center. Coach Bill OBrien and three players are scheduled to take part in Big Ten media days beginning today in Chicago.

Luzerne County Council voted Tuesday to spend $10 million in federal ood recovery funding xing infrastructure damaged by Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee in 2011. County Community Development Director Andrew Reilly recommended the repairs after a panel review of requests from various municipalities. Reilly plans to return to council with a proposal to spend most or all of the remaining $15.4 million in federal funding on up to 90 buyouts. The largest portions of the $10 million allocation will go to West Pittston ($3.8 million) and Shickshinny ($2.8 million), which sustained extensive damage during record Susquehanna ooding in September 2011. Plymouth Township will receive $534,400 to repair three roads. Several Nanticoke residents and city Manager Pamela Heard attended Tuesdays meeting to urge council to adopt the plan, which includes $205,300 for the city to dredge the south branch of Newport Creek to improve the ow and prevent ooding of homes. Councilman Edward Brominski questioned the use of $614,600 to demolish a deteriorating railroad bridge spanning the Susquehanna River in Exeter Township because the bridge is privately owned. Leo Glodzik, of LAG Towing in Duryea, bought the bridge from the county Redevelopment Authority years ago for the scrap value but never tore it down. Reilly said county ofcials have identied the bridge as a serious health and safety concern because it could collapse and create a dam on the river. Councilman Stephen J. Urban voted

against the proposal. Councilman Stephen A. Urban, a former county commissioner, voted for the plan but said the meeting records should show he did not support the allocation of $191,670 to repair a sagging sewer line on Old River Road in WilkesBarre that causes sewage backup in structures. The two men made a motion to remove the Wilkes-Barre project from the list but received no support from their council colleagues. Stephen A. Urban said WilkesBarre charges property owners $50 per year for sewer maintenance that could be used for the repairs. He said the city doesnt keep that money in a separate fund and properly account for its spending. Reilly told council the entities approved for funding must submit invoices documenting completed work before they receive payment. A council majority also voted Tuesday against a change that would ofcially change the composition of the county Flood Protection Authority to ve citizens. Some council members have expressed support for keeping the original structure that includes the county assistant engineer and county planning/zoning director because of their expertise. The authority oversees the Wyoming Valley Levee. Stephen A. Urban, who serves as authority chairman, said the home rule charter discouraged county employees from serving on most county authorities and boards. Councilwoman Linda McClosky Houck said the charter also allowed for exceptions. A legal action over the eligibility of three unpaid citizen ood authority board members to continue serving is pending in court.

Stevens
From page 1A give his commission. Louise Stevens, to whom the judge was married last month the same day he learned of his conrmation, also will participate. Stevens said he is still working on his own remarks for the event. I want to have a ceremony that will be interesting for people, he said. Educating people about the judicial system has long been a second job for Stevens, who teaches criminal justice and American government at Penn State Hazleton and regularly participates in continuing legal education programs for the state and local bar associations as well as for community groups. He also has held court sessions on law school and high school campuses, and recently he has participated in a legal education series on the Pennsylvania Cable Network. The newly minted justice said he will continue to work out of his ofce in Drums, traveling to Philadelphia, Harrisburg and Pittsburgh as needed, much like his current schedule. He also plans to retain longtime clerks and staff, helping to smooth the transition. While he doesnt expect a long ceremony, perhaps 45 minutes, Stevens feels the event will be symbolic and good for the county. I just try to let people know more about the courts. I think thats important, he said.

Roof
From page 1A cotta tile roof, also known as a pan-andcover system, county ofcials have said. Former county chief engineer Joe Gibbons endorsed high-performance shingles designed to mimic this type of tile because the shingles carry a 50-year warranty and cost 60- to 75-percent less, he told county council earlier this year. The state Historical and Museum Commission requires the county to maintain the structures original appearance as much as possible when completing repairs. Gibbons believed the original terra cotta roong system was replaced after several years because it could not withstand damage from ice sliding off the domes. Shingles are more resistant to such impact, he has said. You will have the look of barrel tiles without the risk of cracking, Sobeck said. Sobeck said GAF Monaco shingles were selected after reviewing many options. Contractors are installing scaffolding and enclosed trash shoots to remove the old material, he said. Dunmore Roong is set to complete the roof work before Thanksgiving. Local architect Carl J. Handman, who was involved in historical research and earlier phases of courthouse repairs, said he had unsuccessfully pushed for another terra cotta roof. I do not know any shingle that would faithfully replicate the look of a terra cotta pan-andcover roong system, Handman said. Original roof Handman believes the original terra cotta roof failed because of the way it was installed, not because of ice. An article in The American Architect detailing the courthouse construction said the tiles were nailed onto porous brick that had been set in concrete, he said. Handman said he would nail the tiles onto a roong system that provides waterproofing but also a layer of breathing room for water to dry out. The porous brick would freeze and thaw and eventually break the tiles. If you were to install terra cotta today, you wouldnt put it on porous brick, especially in our climate, he said. The at portions of the courthouse roof that cant be seen from below will be topped with a new rubber covering, Sobeck said. The old rubber roof was 31 years old. The replacement will be thicker and have a 30-year warranty, he said. Rubber was selected because its more elastic and durable, he said.

Montgomery County to issue gay marriage licenses

Two women doctors were to be the first to seek a license, but they later backed out
The Associated Press PHILADELPHIA Ofcials in the third-largest county in Pennsylvania vowed Tuesday to issue same-sex marriage licenses to any couple who seeks one, defying a state law that bans the practice and potentially raising new legal questions. The announcement comes on the heels of a federal lawsuit challenging a ban on same-sex marriages in Pennsylvania, the only northeastern state that has not legalized same-sex marriages or civil unions. The chairman of the Montgomery County commissioners, Democrat Josh Shapiro, said he supports same-sex marriage and was ready for the county to defend the stance in court. The offer of a marriage license stands for any other same-sex couple who might approach the county in the future, Shapiro said Tuesday and added, I think it is a very big deal what happened
Shown is todays weather. Temperatures are todays highs and tonights lows.

in Montgomery County today. Shapiro said the register of wills in Montgomery County, a relatively afuent county in suburban Philadelphia, believes it is within his authority to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, partly because of a June 26 U.S. Supreme Court decision that the federal government could not deny federal benets to same-sex couples who were married and live in states that allow same-sex marriage. In addition, Attorney General Kathleen Kane, a Democrat, has said her ofce will not go to court to defend the states ban on same-sex marriage because she believes it to be unconstitutional. A 1996 Pennsylvania law denes marriage as a civil contract in which a man and a woman take each other as husband and wife, and it says same-sex marriages, even if entered legally elsewhere, are void in Pennsylvania. State law

does not allow civil unions. The register of wills, D. Bruce Hanes, said he had been prepared to issue a license Tuesday to two women doctors who were the rst to seek a same-sex marriage license from the county. I decided to come down on the right side of history and the law, said Hanes, a Democrat who is independently elected. However, the women who are in their 40s and married in a religious ceremony in Pennsylvania several years ago backed out Tuesday after their lawyer talked with the Americans Civil Liberties Union, which is helping lead the challenge to Pennsylvanias same-sex marriage ban. They decided that today was not the day but they look forward to the day when they, like every American, can enjoy the benets of getting married, said the lawyer Michael Diamondstein, who would not identify his

clients. The ACLU told him that the strategy had been tried in other states, only to have the marriages voided by courts later on, ACLU staff attorney Molly TackHooper said. The lesbian and gay couples who might be considering going to get licenses in Montgomery County should be aware that there might be uncertainties about the status of their marriage going forward, Tack-Hooper said. In other states, the courts invalidated the marriages. We just dont know what Pennsylvania courts would do. The ACLU sued July 9 on behalf of a widow seeking survivors benets, 10 couples and one of the couples two teenage daughters. They include four couples who were legally married in other states but whose marriages go unrecognized by Pennsylvania. Gov. Tom Corbetts legal staff is likely to defend the state law in the case. A spokesman for Corbett, a Republican who opposes same-sex marriage, declined comment Tuesday.

At press time, the Mud Hens were leading the RailRiders 3-1 entering the bottom of the seventh, the possible last inning of the twinbill. In the opener, the RailRiders offense was stymied by Mud Hens starter Kyle Lobstein, who started the season at Double-A in

the Tigers organization and was making just his sixth start in Triple-A. He allowed just one hit through the rst ve innings fanning ve in that period of the opener as Toledo held a 1-0 lead.

Will power conferences Defense drives Swoyersville to regional finals break away from FBS?
Big Ten among those examining change
AP College Football Writer

RALPH D. RUSSO

NEW YORK The ve power conferences are trying to redene what it takes to operate a Division I college athletic program, with their commissioners calling out the NCAA at media days around the country. Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby and fellow commissioners Mike Slive of the Southeastern Conference and John Swofford of the Atlantic Coast Conference have taken turns critiquing the NCAA over the last week, and its likely Jim Delany of the Big Ten and Larry Scott of the Pac-12 will follow suit in the coming days. The schools in the most powerful and wealthy leagues want more freedom to be able to run their programs the way they want, without the less powerful schools standing in the way. Does this mean the end of the NCAA as we know it is near? Or will there be a new division of college football Division 4 as Bowlsby calls it? Not necessarily. Former Big 12 Commissioner Dan Beebe says he thinks Atlantic Coast Conference, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and Southeastern Conference can get the power to govern themselves without cutting off all ties to schools from the less powerful and wealthy FBS conferences. And NCAA expert John Infante, who writes the ByLaw Blog at athleticscholarship. com, says the best solution for the schools in those conferences is not leaving Division I, but reshaping it in a way where some smaller schools choose to leave. The lightning rod issue at the heart of this debate has been the proposed stipend to college athletes that would add about $2,000 to an athletic scholarship to cover the full cost of attendance. All the commissioners from the major conferences have pushed for it, but it could not be passed

because smaller schools said they couldnt afford it. So, a possible solution for the powerful, wealthy schools is to set up a level of football at which all the participating schools gave players stipends and let the smaller schools play each other. The programs that would be most affected by the big ve isolating itself from the rest of college sports would be from the lesser leagues in college footballs top tier: the Mountain West, the American Athletic Conference (formerly the Big East), Conference USA, the Sun Belt and the Mid-American Conference aka the group of ve. Those schools still want to compete against the big ve on the eld, cash in on the monster pay days that usually come with playing those games and capitalize on the attention that comes when they occasionally win one. The FBS conferences will share, though not equally, the $5.6 billion ESPN is set to pay over 12 years for broadcast rights to College Football Playoff. The big ve conferences will take 75 percent of that money, but the 25 percent left over for the other ve to split still represents a big raise from what they were making under the BCS. Presumably, the power conferences would make even more breaking away. But it might not be that easy. What happens when these 70 schools break away and form Division 4? Might happen. I dont think its going to happen, Mountain West Conference Commissioner Craig Thompson told reporters at his leagues football media day in Las Vegas. MAC Commissioner John Steinbrecher said at media day in Detroit: The question is, can we come to agreement on a set of rules that allows us to co-exist amicably? I tend to believe we can.

NBC to take over part of NASCAR TV package starting in 2015

JENNA FRYER
AP Auto Racing Writer

CHARLOTTE, N.C. NASCAR will return to NBC in 2015, ending its eight-year partnership with both ESPN and Turner Sports. The 10-year deal with NBC Sports Group announced Tuesday begins in 2015 and gives the network the nal 20

Sprint Cup Series races of the season and nal 19 Nationwide races. NBC last broadcast races in 2006 before ESPN took over its portion of the schedule. We are back. We are thrilled to be back, said Mark Lazarus, chairman of NBC Sports Group. He said of all the deals made since Comcast Corp. purchased NBC, the NASCAR deal is one that weve really been focused

on, one that we have wanted to have the opportunity to be able to sit at the table when contractual opportunities came due. The quantity of content that this deal provides and the quality of content that this provides is really a game changer for us for our entire group, and we cant wait to get started, Lazarus added.

The deal makes NBC Sports Group the premier motorsports network with NASCAR, Formula One and IndyCar among its properties a trifecta Lazarus said made NBC the motorsports leader. I believe with us now being the home to the second half of the NASCAR season, the home for cable for Indy and the home to Formula 1,

that we are probably the most dominant home for motorsports, and that that circulation of motorsports fans will be good for all, he said. A previous relationship with Lazarus, who was formerly with Turner Sports, and the ability to be part of NBCs sports properties attracted NASCAR. See NBC | 5B

Brett embraces infamous pine tar game

DAVE SKRETTA
AP Sports Writer

Kansas City Royals interim hitting coach and Hall of Famer George Brett discusses the pine tar game in which Brett was called out for using a bat on which pine tar exceeded the 18-inch limit, during a news conference at Yankee Stadium earlier this month. The 30th anniversary of the game is today.

AP photo

KANSAS CITY, Mo. George Brett remembers sitting next to Frank White and Vida Blue in the dugout at Yankee Stadium, his ninthinning home run having just given the Kansas City Royals the lead. Yankees manager Billy Martin ambled onto the eld from the dugout across the way, and was engaged in a lengthy conversion with umpire Tim McClelland both of them looking closely at the bat Brett had just used to go deep off reliever Goose Gossage.

So were just sitting there watching, Brett recalled Tuesday, and Frank says, Man, you have a lot of pine tar on there. I remember John Mayberry got called out on one of those when I rst came up to the big leagues. And I said, If they call me out for using too much pine tar Ive never heard of that rule Ill run out there and kill one of those SOBs. As soon as I said that, Brett added with a broad smile, Tim McClelland turned around and starting looking for me in the dugout. The rest of the story is part of baseball lore. Brett raced from of the dug-

out, his arms ailing wildly, and jabbed his nger right in McClellands face. Fellow umpire Joe Brinkman tried to hold Brett back, eventually putting him in a headlock and spinning him around in a sequence thats been replayed millions of times. It happened 30 years ago today. It was a positive thing, you know? It wasnt a groundball that went through my legs or a strikeout. It was something that I did good, said Brett, who played his entire Hall of Fame career with the Royals and is now serving as their interim hitting coach. I hit a home run off one of the toughest relief pitchers in base-

ball, a Hall of Fame guy, and if I did not use an illegal bat which I didnt, it was proven I didnt but suspected of using an illegal bat, we wouldnt be doing this, Brett said. It would have been a July 24 game 30 years ago that nobody remembered. Instead, just about everybody remembers it. The attendance that July day was 33,944, even though hundreds of thousands of people claim to have been there. Both teams were in contention the Royals would nish second in the AL West, the Yankees third in the East See BRETT | 4B

Romanowski,Greater Pittston bounce back

psokoloski@timesleader.com

Strong pitching performance, angry offensive attack lead team to regional finals
Greater Pittston tacked on its nal run in the third, when Chuck Bressler came home on Walkowiaks grounder. We kind of changed our lineup, Granteed said. We put up a bunch of runs the rst couple innings. Its win-lose the inning, Romanowski said. Each inning, we try to win that inning. And if we dont, we have ve, six more innings left to win. The inning is a game in itself. Now, Greater Pittston gets at least another game against Jersey Shore, while hoping for another crack at Swoyersville. They were a little down, they really wanted that (morning) game (against Swoyersville), Ranieli said of his guys. Its a mark of a good championship team to re-focus. Youve got to play the team thats in front of you.

PAUL SOKOLOSKI

HANOVER TWP. The guy on the mound for Greater Pittston wasnt about to give in. His teammates werent going to give up. And because of it, a deated team gave itself another shot at winning the double-elimination Region 5 American Legion baseball title. Adam Romanowski used a superb pitching performance to raise his teams spirit, Jake Granteed and the offense erupted from the start and Greater Pittston took out its frustration from dropping an earlier showdown Tuesday by smashing South Scranton, 9-1 in a Region 5 elimination game at the Hanover Area High School baseball eld. You know, our team likes to get down on itself, said Romanowski, who helped Greater Pittston rebound from 4-2 loss to unbeaten Swoyersville earlier in the day. Then we just forget about it. We know its in the past. We know what we have to do. What Romanowski did was provide Greater Pittston with a big lift. The gritty righthander allowed just one unearned run on three hits and only one of those singles left the ineld while pitching brilliantly for eight innings. The only run South Scranton managed against him scored when the relay throw on a potential double play grounder was dropped. Adams been here awhile, said Greater Pittston manager Jerry Ranieli, whose

Greater Pittstons Jordan Zezza dives back safely to first base during a game against Swoyersville earlier Tuesday. Greater Pittston won its late game Tuesday over South Scranton, 9-1, to stay alive in the American Legion Region 5 Tournament.

Bill Tarutis | For The Times Leader

Swoyersville
From page 1B Pittston, and the effort even extended into the outfield. Swoyersville right fielder Matt Zielen snared Mike Careys shot toward the gap with a spectacular head-first dive on the second batter of the game, then turned it into a double play with a bouncing throw that first baseman Evan McCue cooly smothered before stepping on the bag. Swoyersville second baseman Mike Leonard backhanded a grounder, stepped on second and made a tough throw across his body to complete a double play in the fth inning; catcher Ryan Hogan gunned down a baserunner in the fourth; and shortstop Jeremy Worlinsky threw out a batter from deep in the hole in the eighth. None of those turned heads the way Pechulis did. With runners on second and third in the third inning of a scoreless game, Greater Pittstons Jake Granteed sent a bullet that seemed headed to the outeld for a game-breaking blow. Probably one of the hardest balls Ive ever hit, Granteed sighed. But Pechulis got in the way of Greater Pittstons excitement. Swiveling his 5-foot-11, 225pound frame like a cheetah, Pechulis instinctively dove to his left, speared the ball for the innings second out, and deated Greater Pittston all in one motion. I just reacted, Penchulis said. Thats all third base is about reaction. The rst thing I did when I got up, I checked my pants. And I realized I saved about two runs. Who would have thought a guy that burly could move to fast? Ive got a lot of faith in Joe on third, Toole said. Although hes a big guy, hes denitely quick on his feet. Thats why hes over there. In the blink of an eye, Greater Pittstons upset bid was over. After Pechulis gravity-defying grab, Greater Pittston cleanup hitter Joe Gavenonis was intentionally walked to load the bases, and Swoyesville starter Dan Flaherty wriggled out of the jam by inducing an inningending popup. Pechulis that was a great play, said Greater Pittston manager Jerry Ranieli, whose team dropped two one-run games to Swoyersville during the Wyoming Valley league season. That ball was smoked and he made a great play on it. Youve got to tip your hat to him. Not long after, the game tipped in Swoyersvilles favor. Mike Leonard began a three-run rally in the bottom of the third inning when he drew a walk, moved to second on a passed ball and then charged to third base on a fake bunt attempt by Nick Hogan. With nobody covering the third-base bag for Greater Pittston, Leonard easily stole the base and continued home with the games first run when the throw sailed into left field. I saw him running in, Leonard said of Greater Pittstons third baseman. No one was there. Coach said to fake the bunt and see what happens. It worked out perfectly. It got even better for Swoyersville when Nick Hogan doubled, then rode home on his brother Ryan Hogans long triple to center eld. Pechulis followed by sending a are over shortstop for a run-scoring single that brought Ryan Hogan home. It feels great, Ryan Hogan said. They were our rivals all year. They thought they were going to kick our (tails). Wasnt happening. It nearly did. Ryan Hogans errant pickoff throw from the catchers position put two Greater Pittston runners in scoring position, and they came home when Trent Grove drilled a two-run double in the sixth. Suddenly, Swoyersville lead was chopped to 3-2. When you make a mistake like that, it kills you inside, Ryan Hogan said. You just try to come back, help the team as much as you can. He helped plenty, driving home Jeremy Sabecky with a single in the seventh to give Swoyersville breathing room. And reliever Billy Gregory never let Greater Pittston up for air by allowing just one hit over the nal three innings to earn the save. Our hitting is a big point, Pechulis said. But when we need a play in the eld, we get it.

team will face Jersey Shore at 11 a.m. today in a game that will send the winner against Swoyersville for the Region 5 championship at 1:30 p.m. at Hanover Area. He came in and shut them down. He kept them really off-balance. Romanowski struck out four, walked just two, and was so efcient he needed just 60 pitches to complete eight innings including a three-pitch sixth that left him celebrating the feat. With the possibility of playing two games today, Romanowski was pulled short of a complete game in case hes needed on the mound in the nals. They were chasing sliders at the beginning of the game, Romanowski said. And throughout the game, my fastball seemed to pick up.

Things picked up quickly for Greater Pittston. In a revamped batting order from the morning loss to Swoyersville, Jordan Zezza slammed a one-out single and later scored on an error in the rst inning, before Trent Grove singled home Granteed with a 2-0 Greater Pittston lead. We had a lack of offense that rst game, Ranieli said. We thought, OK, well shake it up a little bit. Greater Pittston shook up the scoreboard with a sixrun second inning, starting with Erik Walkowiaks tworun double. Two batters later, Granteed blasted a two-run triple before Joe Gavenonis added an RBI single and Dylan Maloney drove home a run with a double.

Offense
From page 1B Tateyama in the tenth capped by a three-run home run from Tigers No. 2 prospect Avisail Garcia. Jose Valverde, a longtime Major Leaguer, who was sent down by Detroit and is trying to work out his problems, pitched a scoreless tenth to close out the rst game. Michael Pineda got the Game 1 start for the RailRiders and pitched well, but only lasted three innings giving up three hits and whifng three and threw 27 of his 39 pitches for strikes. According to reports, New York general manager Brian Cashman said Pineda was removed from the starts for innings management. In the nightcap, SWB International League All-Star right-hander Chris Bootcheck got the start against the team he was a 2012 All-Star with. He lasted longer than Pined. And despite having to throw 23 pitches in the first inning, including a 13-pitch at-bat by Garcia, Toledos leadoff hitter, he fared well up until the top of the sixth. Thats when he got Garcia for the first out but the next three batters all reached base. The rally was capped by a three-run homer from Nick Castellanos, the Tigers No. 2 prospect according to Baseball America. That blast put the Mud Hens up 3-1. S c ran t o n / Wi l ke s - B a r re s Bobby Wilson hit a solo shot in the bottom of the fth to put SWB ahead 1-0 in the second game.

From page 1B and had developed quite the bitter rivalry. Throw in the cast of characters the irascible Martin, Brett and Gossage and its hardly a surprise that an entirely new generation knows every vivid detail. It you play for the Kansas City Royals, you know about George and the pine tar, said Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas, who wasnt born until ve years later. He loves it, though. He certainly didnt love it at the time. That just shows you his intensity, said current Royals manager Ned Yost, who was a backup catcher for the Brewers in 1983. It shows you the type of player he was. The Royals immediately appealed McClellands decision, and in one of the rare instances in baseball history, it was overturned four days later. American League president Lee MacPhail ordered the game to be nished on Aug. 18, and the Royals won 5-4 with Bretts homer the difference. To ensure there were no hard feelings, Brinkman sent Brett a telegram on the day the decision was overturned that read, Congratulations on the news today. Looking forward to seeing you. Bretts relationship with McClelland has also grown tight. They occasionally see each other at the ballpark, and McCelland still wonders what Brett would have done had he not been held back. I always say George wasnt very smart, McClelland said, because hes running out at me and Im 6-foot-6 and I weighed 250 pounds and I have protective equipment on and a bat in my hand. McClelland fondly recalled the pine tar game during an interview with The Associated Press on Tuesday night in Houston, shortly before he worked a game between the Astros and Athletics. I have young players now come up to me and say, Hey, I didnt know you were the pine tar umpire. We were just talking about it the other day and they said it was you, McClelland said with a laugh. Ill have people on the street and people that I know bring it up once in a while. If I go out and give talks, Im always introduced as the pine tar umpire. Its ne. What became of the bat only adds another rich layer to its history. Brett was particularly fond of that piece of lumber because it had fewer grains in the wood, and that meant it was a bit harder than most bats. So even after it had become a piece of baseball folklore, Brett continued to use the stick of ash for a few more games, Gaylord Perry was on our team and said, George, youre using a very expensive bat. That bats worth a lot of money, Brett said. I remember taking some alcohol and a towel and cleaning it up to 18 inches I even drew a red line at the 18-inch mark, and used it one or two games and Gaylord said, Youre crazy to use that bat. So thats when I took it out of play. Brett sold it to a collector for $25,000, but quickly realized his mistake. He bought it back for the same price throwing in a bat he used to hit three homers off Catsh Hunter to seal the deal and eventually donated it to the Baseball Hall of Fame. It remains there to this day. Whenever I go back, I always go and look at it, Brett said. Its pretty cool.

Alex Rodriguezs uncertain future has taken center stage as Major League Baseballs probe into a former anti-aging clinic enters its disciplinary phase. The season-ending suspension of Ryan Braun on Monday for his involvement with Biogenesis has placed Rodriguez in the middle of a restorm of speculation. A report Tuesday said that MLB would look to hit Rodriguez with a lifetime ban, another said that Rodriguez would try to cut a deal, and another said Rodriguez would ght any suspension handed down. Rodriguez has not sought to make a deal with MLB, Ron Berkowitz, publicist for the Yankees third baseman, said Tuesday. There is no plea arrangement under way with Major League Baseball, Berkowitz said. There was no indication from MLB that it was discussing a plea with Rodriguez, though reports suggest either side could change its stance in this uid process. The CBS Evening News reported that an unnamed MLB executive speculated that a lifetime ban could be in store for Rodriguez. ESPN New York reported that Rodriguez was trying to make a deal with Major League Baseball, and USA Today reported that Rodriguez had no intention of negotiating a settlement with MLB. Baseballs basic agreement says that the commissioner can attempt to discipline a player for just cause in any amount of games he thinks he can justify before an arbitrator. The arbitrator would then apply the just cause standard in assessing the suspension. Berkowitz said that Rodriguez was visiting his children in Miami and is expected back at the Yankees minorleague complex in Tampa for treatment of a grade 1 quadriceps strain. Rodriguez was not seen at the facility Tuesday. Rodriguez, who was diagnosed with the quad strain Sunday at the end of a 20-day minor-league rehabilitation for his surgically repaired left hip, remains on the disabled list. A source has said if Rodriguez stayed on the DL four months from the start of the season, the Yankees would begin collecting a percentage of his salary from a disability policy. That would be on or about Aug. 1.

NASCAR back on dirt for 1 night only

Time to attach the mud aps. NASCAR is set for an off-road detour through the dirt. The Truck Series is headed for the Eldora Speedway half-mile dirt track for a one-night only special designed to reconnect NASCAR with its early roots and give fans raised on asphalt and stock cars a taste of the wild races run in the dust. The last time one of NASCARs top touring series competed on dirt was Sept. 30, 1970, when Richard Petty won a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (called the Grand National Division at that time) race at the North Carolina State Fairgrounds in Raleigh. The dirt drought ends when the trucks race tonight at Tony Stewart-owned Eldora in Rossburg, Ohio. Stewart, still a regular on the weeknight racing circuit, has naturally become a big booster of NASCARs return to dirt. Most of the eld drove their rst Eldora laps at Tuesdays practice. Its a neat facility, Stewart said. Its well lit, its a wide racetrack, it gives you a lot of options of where you can go and what you can do. I think it gives those guys an opportunity. The practice day on Tuesday should help a lot of those teams be able to get acclimated before they come back to the track on Wednesday. Eldoras grandstands are sold out for the 9:30 p.m. race, even as some of the series biggest winners, like Kyle Busch, are sitting out. Ryan Newman and Dave Blaney are the only Cup drivers in the field. The race will feature a handful of so-called ringers, such as Scott Bloomquist, a member of the National Dirt Track Hall of Fame with more than 500 victories in a lengthy career. The 49-year-old Bloomquist is set to make his NASCAR debut driving the No. 51 Toyota for Kyle Busch Motorsports. Its going to be some-

There are ve, eight-lap qualifying events and a 15-lap last-chance race to come up with the 30 competitors (regularly 36 in the series) who will start the 150-lap Mudsummer Classic. Because there is no pit road, the race is broken into three segments of 60, 50 and 40 laps.

Elegant boxing champ Griffith dies at 75

AP Sports Writer

DAVE SKRETTA

Inside the smaller theater at Madison Square Garden about ve years ago, shortly before a world title ght, Emile Grifth was introduced one more time to the crowd. He rose shakily from his seat, waved ever so briey and then sat down. The applause kept going. Revered in retirement perhaps more than during his ghting days, Grifth died Tuesday at 75 after a long battle with pugilistic dementia. The rst ghter to be crowned world champion from the U.S. Virgin Islands, Grifth required full-time care late in life and died at an extended care facility in Hempstead, N.Y. Emile was a gifted athlete and truly a great boxer, Hall of Fame director Ed Brophy said. Outside the ring he was as great a gentleman as he was a ghter. An elegant fighter with a quick jab, Griffiths brilliant career was overshadowed by the fatal beating he gave Benny The Kid Paret in a 1962 title bout. The outcome darkened the world of boxing, even prompting some network television stations to stop showing live fights. It also cast him as a pariah to many inside and outside the sport. He went on to have a successful career after that fatal ght, but Grifth acknowledged later in life that he was never the same boxer. He would ght merely to win, piling up the kind of decisions that are praised by purists but usually jeered by fans hoping for a knockout. Grifth often attended ghts in his later years, especially at the Garden, where he headlined 28 times. He was also a frequent visitor to the boxing clubs around New York City, and made the pilgrimage most years to the sports Hall of Fame in Canastota, N.Y. He always had time for boxing fans when visiting the hall on an annual basis, Brophy said, and was one of the most popu-

Ex-Penn State player Larry Johnson sentenced in Las Vegas

The Associated Press

27 Unique Holes One Breathtaking Course

LAS VEGAS Former NFL running back Larry Johnson pleaded no contest Tuesday to charges that he choked an ex-girlfriend into unconsciousness and left her only in her underwear in a Las Vegas hotel hallway. The 33-year-old was convicted of domestic violence battery and assault, which are both misdemeanors. A felony charge was dropped as part of a plea deal, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported. Johnson was sentenced to one year of probation and ordered to pay a $345 ne.

He must also perform 48 hours of community service and attend six months of counseling. Im just happy to have this behind me and go back to Florida and stay out of trouble for once, Johnson said after the hearing, according to the newspaper. Johnson was arrested Oct. 5 at a Bellagio hotel room. According to a police report, he and the woman had been drinking alcohol before the altercation, and the woman had marks on her face and bruises on her neck. Johnson had marks on his face that police attributed to the woman ghting him as he choked her. The woman told ofcers she passed

Sign left at Paterno statue site

STATE COLLEGE A sign reading We wont forget has been left at the site where former Penn State football coach Joe Paternos statue once stood in State College. It marks the one-year anniversary of the date it was removed in the aftermath of the Jerry Sandusky

child sex abuse scandal. The Centre Daily Times reported the sign was left Monday outside Beaver Stadium. A Penn State spokesman declined comment on the condition or location of the statue. University officials have said only that it is in a secure location. On July 22, 2012, just before 6 a.m., workers used jackhammers to remove the statue and took it away with a forklift. The statue had become a lightning rod for public opinion amid the sexabuse scandal. Paterno died in January 2012.

IN BRIEF

Quarterly earnings reports released

Wendys to sell 425 outlets to franchisees

NEW YORK Wendys reported a quarterly net income that came in above Wall Street expectations and said its selling 425 of its restaurants to franchisees, a move thats expected to help boost its profit margins. Fast-food companies often own only a small percentage of their restaurants. This helps keep their operating costs in check and gives them a more stable stream of income thats tilted toward royalty fees and rent, rather sales at restaurants. Wendys, based in Dublin, Ohio, also raised its dividend by 25 percent to 5 cents per share. CEO Emil Brolick said in a statement that the sale of the restaurants will also help expand adoption of the companys new restaurant designs. Thats because Wendys plans to sell the restaurants to well-capitalized franchisees willing to pay for the remodeling. The sleeker new look is part of Wendys push to try to distance itself from the greasy, cheap image of traditional fast-food chains. By cleaning up its stores and offering more premium burgers and sandwiches, Wendys is hoping to recast itself more in the style of Panera Bread or Chipotle, which tend to charge higher prices. But during the quarter, Wendys said sales edged up only 0.4 percent at company-owned restaurants open at least a year in North America. By comparison, McDonalds said on Monday that its sales rose 1 percent in the U.S. For the year, Wendys said it expects the sales gure to grow between 2 percent and 3 percent, given its expectation for stronger sales in the second half of the year. That optimism might be fueled by the recent introduction of its Pretzel Bacon Cheeseburger, which has generated plenty of buzz online. The company says the sale of its restaurants will reduce its ownership to 15 percent of its locations, from 22 percent. It said it now expects longterm adjusted earnings-per-share growth in the mid-teens percentage range starting next year. Previously, it had forecast single-digit to doubledigit growth. Wendys says it earned $12.2 million, or 3 cents per share. That compares with a loss of $5.5 million, or 1 cent per share, a year ago. Not including one-time items, it earned 8 cents per share, more than the 6 cents per share Wall Street

Among the second quarter earnings reports companies released Tuesday: * United Parcel Service Co. said that second-quarter prot fell 4 percent as customers shifted from premium toward lower-priced shipped services. The company called the results disappointing and said it was adapting to the changing market. UPS said it earned $1.07 billion, or $1.13 per share, down from $1.12 billion, or $1.15 per share, a year earlier. * RadioShack said its secondquarter loss widened as the struggling electronics retailer works to turn around results. Revenue was nearly at at $844.5 million, handily beating analysts expectations of revenue of $816.1 million, according to FactSet. And revenue in stores open at least one year rose 1.3 percent, the rst increase in that metric since 2010. * The chemicals giant DuPont reported a nearly 12 percent decline in second-quarter earnings partly because of lower pricing for titanium dioxide, a whitening pigment, and said that it is exploring a possible sale or spinoff of its performance chemicals unit. DuPont Co. is a global leader in production of titanium dioxide, or TiO2, but has wrestled for more than a year with sluggish demand for the whitener, which is used in wide range of products from automotive and house paints to toothpaste. The Wilmington, Del.-based company reported net income of $1.03 billion, or $1.11 per share, for the quarter ending June 30, compared to $1.17 billion, or $1.23 per share, for the same period last year. * Altria Group Inc., the owner of the nations biggest cigarette maker, Philip Morris USA, said its secondquarter prot rose about 3 percent as higher prices and lower expenses from a longstanding legal settlement offset a decline in cigarette sales. The Richmond, Va.-based company earned $1.27 billion, or 63 cents per share, for the April-June period, up from $1.22 billion, or 60 cents a share, a year ago. Revenue, excluding excise taxes, decreased 2.5 percent to $4.5 billion. Analysts polled by FactSet expected $4.62 billion. Cigarette volumes fell nearly 7 percent to 33.8 billion cigarettes compared with a year ago. Marlboro volumes fell more than 7 percent, volume for its other premium brands fell by nearly 11 percent, and volumes for discount cigarette brands like L&M increased nearly 4 percent.

During the second quarter, Wendys said sales edged up just 0.4 percent at companyowned restaurants open at least a year in North America. The gains were fueled, in part, by menu items such as this single with cheese large combo meal at a Wendys restaurant in Mt. Lebanon, Pa.

Starbucks jumping into Greek yogurt craze

The Associated Press

NEW YORK Starbucks wants a taste of the Greek yogurt craze. The Seattle-based coffee chain says its teaming up with French food-and-drink company Danone to sell Greek yogurt parfaits. The ready-to-eat cups will arrive in its U.S. cafes in the spring of 2014, eventually replacing the yogurt cups the chain currently sells. Theyll be called Evolution Fresh inspired by Dannon and roll out to grocery stores in 2015. Financial terms of the multiyear deal werent disclosed. Greek yogurt, which is thicker and has a tarter taste, has surged in popularity in recent years and now accounts for more than a third of the market, according to Bernstein Research. Fans like that Greek yogurt tends to have more protein and less sugar than the sweeter, thinner variet-

The Starbucks in Wilkes-Barre Township will start selling Greek yogurt parfaits next year after the Seattle-based company announced a deal with Danone to sell the product at all its cafes.

ies traditionally sold in American supermarkets.

The popularity of brands such as Chobani has prompted makers

of traditional supermarket yogurt, such as General Mills Yoplait, to scramble to introduce Greek varieties. Danone makes Dannon, Stonyeld and Activia yogurt in the U.S. It introduced Oikos Greek yogurt in 2011. Starbucks Corp. and Danone say distribution will eventually expand to targeted markets outside the U.S. The companies did not provide any details on pricing or the products. The move also builds on Starbucks push to improve its food. It has been introducing Evolution Fresh juices and plans to roll out new baked goods in the year ahead. New sandwiches and salads were also recently introduced. The company operates cafes locally in Wilkes-Barre Township, Moosic, Scranton, Dickson City and Clarks Summit.

WASHINGTON The Food and Drug Administration is cracking down on more than a dozen companies that market illegal treatments for diabetes, ranging from bogus dietary supplements to prescription drugs sold online without a prescription. All of the products aim to cash in on the countrys diabetes epidemic, which affects nearly 26 million Americans. Regulators worry that consumers who buy such unapproved products could put off getting legitimate medical

care, which could exacerbate heart disease, kidney failure and other deadly complications. The FDA sent warning letters to 15 companies, both in the U.S. and abroad, ordering them to stop selling diabetes treatments which violate U.S. drug laws. Three of the products targeted are marketed as natural supplements, but actually contain unlisted pharmaceutical ingredients. For example, Diexi, which is sold as a traditional Indian herbal formula, actually contains metformin, the most common prescription drug used to treat diabetes. The prodRUSSELL 2000 1,052.20

uct is sold by Amrutam Life Care, of Surat, India. Consumers should exercise caution before using products claiming to be herbal or all-natural alternatives to FDA-approved prescription drugs, the agency said in a statement Tuesday. These products should be considered unsafe and should not be used. Other products include genuine dietary supplements that make unproven claims to treat or prevent diabetes. For example, Diabetes Daily Care is a capsule-based supplement containing cinnamon extract and other herbs. Its manufacturer, Natures

Health Supply Inc., claims it safely and effectively improves sugar metabolism. Under U.S. law, only FDAapproved medicines are permitted to make claims for treating or preventing disease. Other companies targeted by the FDA run online pharmacies that sell prescription drugs for diabetes without a prescription. The FDA issued a warning letter to www.bestcheapmedsonline. com for marketing unapproved versions of diabetes drugs such as Januvia, from Merck & Co. Inc. The FDA warns patients against buying prescription medications on the Internet.

Only 3 percent of online pharmacies actually comply with all U.S. pharmacy laws, according to a review by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy. People with diabetes are unable to properly break down carbohydrates, either because their bodies do not produce enough insulin or because theyve become resistant to the hormone, which controls blood sugar levels. These patients face higher risks of heart attacks, kidney problems, blindness and other serious complications. Many diabetics require multiple drugs to control their blood sugar levels.

Cooking classes spice up already hot nights

SUMMER SCHOOL SIZZLES

Blaise Alan Dente made this Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake at Dentes Catering.

JOE SYLVESTER

NANTICOKE Take varieties of meat, vegetables, cream, herbs and spices, a teaching chef and about a dozen eager adults. Mix them together for a couple of summer-night classes in a teaching kitchen. The result is a menu of tasty, aromatic, restaurant-worthy dishes. And a group of people who have satised their hunger for culinary knowledge. Last week, under the guidance and discerning eye, and tastebuds, of chef Steve Anania in Luzerne County Community Colleges Joseph A. Paglianite Culinary Institute, just such a group learned how to make nine different soups on Tuesday night; on Thursday night, they tackled dishes using nine different sauce recipes. The dozen students on Thursday night broke up into teams of two in the spacious, modern restaurant kitchen to work on the separate recipes provided by Anania, also an instructor at the Career Technology Center of Lackawanna County, with some teams creating two dishes. Paula Quinn, 62, and Connie Krajewski, 63, both of Nanticoke, made angel-hair pasta with a blush Alfredo sauce. They, like others in the class, had taken noncredit courses before at LCCC. And like the others, they shared a passion for cooking and eating. The best part is eating, said Roseann Nardone, 61, of the Mountain Top area, adding, Anything thats left, we get to take home. Susan Najaka of Glen Lyon, a Realtor and retired Hanover Area elementary school librar-

PB and chocolate are tasty together in this cheesecake

I remember the nuns teaching me in elementary school that God made everyone different. How true that is. Everyone has their own distinct personality, age, appearance and language, but we do have one thing in comBlaise Alan Dente mon: We all love to eat. But what you eat, and how you cook it, is up to you. Yes, it is important to know proper temperature and the time it takes to ensure the correct texture, crispness and color, but after that there are really no set rules for cooking. Everyone has their own taste, and you become your own food critic. Think about it. If you need more salt for your vegetables, you add it. If one cup of brown sugar is too much for your dessert, reduce it to a half cup. Substitute one ingredient for a more healthful one. You should make food the way you want it because you will be the one eating it. Recipes are only a guide. So you nished making your dish. Now what do you do? Add seasoning to your chicken entre as a garnish, add a favorite sauce to your pasta dinner, or my personal favorite add a maraschino cherry on top of that hot-fudge sundae. People often tell me they dont cook, theyre afraid to cook or dont know how to cook. But dont let it scare you. A professional colleague once told me, In cooking, there are no mistakes, only new creations. I heard that more than 20 years ago, and it still sticks in my mind when I make something at home or at work. The key is simple creativity. After tweaking recipes to your own taste, you might surprise yourself at what you accomplished, and to take that a step farther, you might even develop your own secret ingredient. Be a leader, not a follower. For your enjoyment I offer today one of my favorite recipes, for Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake. Be creative and add whatever you like to it. CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CHEESECAKE Crust ingredients: 1 cups graham cracker crumbs 1/3 cup plus cup white granulated sugar 1/3 cup cocoa powder 1/3 cup melted butter (or margarine) Filling ingredients: 24 ounces softened cream cheese 1 (14 ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated milk) 1 2/3 cups melted peanut butter chips 4 eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla extract Method of preparation: Prehat oven to 300 degrees. Combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup white granulated sugar, cocoa powder and melted butter. Press mixture into the bottom of a nongreased, 9-inch springform pan Beat cream cheese and 1/4 cup sugar until uffy. Add the sweetened condensed milk and melted peanut butter chips until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla. Incorporate all ingredients together. Pour the complete mixture over chocolate crust. Bake the cheesecake for 60-70 minutes or until center is set. Remove from oven once the cheesecake is baked. Using a knife, loosen the inside of the springform pan to release the cheesecake. Allow to cool. Remove cheesecake from the springform pan. Refrigerate, covered, until cold. Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate chips if desired.

Chef Steve Anania, instructor for the class on soups and sauces at LCCC, shows Dan Mazzocco and Susan Liskowicz how to make a roux, a mixture of flour and butter used to thicken sauces. Mazzocco and Liskowicz were among a dozen students in Ananias non-credit summer course. It focused on sauces Thursday night. The two-night course included lessons on soups two nights earlier.

Bevilacqua said last week he and his crew, which also includes chef James Bodnar, Chelsea Alexander and Ethan Snyder, were heading to New York today after he got the truck cleaned and detailed. The shows producers have reserved hotel rooms for the What the Fork crew. Were all getting haircuts and will get our chef coats pressed and embroidered, he said.

From page 1C said of her daughters cooking skills. The mother-daughter team paired up to make pizza sauce for a couple of rectangular pizzas and a parsley-garlic-butter sauce for steaks. Mom concentrated on making the pizzas, and daughter made the parsley garlic butter and grilled the steaks. We were going to do both together, but this is taking longer than I thought, Jacqueline said as she chopped garlic on a cutting board. Dan Mazzocco, a periodontist from Mountain Top working at the station across from Misunas, came over to demonstrate an easier way by crushing her garlic cloves with the side of his wide chopping knife and then chopping them rapidly. Like Misunas, the 63-year-old Mazzocco also had someone close to him in the class. His wife, Janet Golaszewski, 61, an orthodontist, was working with friend Roseann Nardone to make raspberry coulis sauce as well as CocaCola barbecue sauce to spread over grilled pork tenderloin. Mazzocco, meanwhile, collaborated with Susan Liskowicz, 43, of Laflin, a physician assistant at the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center, to create a crabmeat sauce, working the chopping knife with the expertise of a cooking professional.

PUZZLES

Woman who is looking for good man wont find him cruising online
Dear Abby: I have an awful time meeting men. Im not considered beautiful by any means, so that means meeting any good guys wont happen. I use Craigslist a lot to meet sexual partners. I am so tired of giving up my body for a few minutes of pleasure and then feeling empty on the inside. Please tell me what to do. Where Are the Good Guys? Dear Where: Ill try, but first let me tell you where the good guys ARENT. They are not on Craigslist trolling for sex partners. As my grandfather used to say, If youre looking for trout, dont go fishing in a herring barrel.

DEAR ABBY
ADVICE Your problem isnt your looks; it is your extremely low level of self-esteem. Its important that you discuss this with a psychologist who can help you recognize the positive qualities you have to offer, because until you do, you will only repeat these empty, depressing encounters.
Dear Abby: Im a 17-year-old girl who was raised to be polite. When I meet someone, I offer a handshake and a smile and make eye contact. However, I have found that because Im female, adults especially men will go in for a hug even when I of-

fer my hand to shake. This is followed by comments like, Youre too sweet to just shake hands, or, Girls dont shake hands. I find the comments insulting. How do I avoid this awkward moment and respond to the comments? Teen in New York Dear Teen: The next time someone lunges forward, take a step back and say, I prefer to shake hands! Say it with a smile and dont be confrontational, but DO defend your personal space if you feel it is being invaded. It is not impolite to do so. Dear Abby: Im single, have no kids and Im about to turn 62. I own my own home and have no debts. After years of earning a modest but steady

income and watching my expenses, I have saved enough and I am eligible for good retirement benefits. So whats my problem? Friends and family insist Im crazy to leave a job at which I could work for another five to 10 years. I know retirement is practical for me because I have gotten professional financial planning advice. There are many things I really want to do before Im too old. My friends need to work to support their extravagant lifestyles, lavish vacations, expensive restaurants, plus their new cars, clothing and electronics. I did things my way and can afford to retire now, so why cant my friends keep their mouths shut and let me enjoy what I have worked for? Ready to Retire

Dear Ready: They may be jealous, or they may be genuinely concerned about you. Not knowing them, I cant answer for them. I can, however, suggest this: Before quitting your job and the steady, modest income it provides, talk with another financial planner and get a second opinion. Youd do that with a doctor if you had a serious question about your physical health, and Im recommending you do it because this decision will affect your financial health for the rest of your life.
To receive a collection of Abbys most memorable and most frequently requested poems and essays, send a business-sized, selfaddressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

CRYPTOQUOTE

HOROSCOPE
BY HOLIDAY MATHIS
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Secrets can be powerful. They have a magnetic force all their own. If you tell the secret, though, it loses its magnetism. Today your inner world will be a mystery that sends someone into orbit around you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your idea, plus some word of mouth, will cause something of a frenzy. Fire catches on, as long as theres something to burn and enough oxygen to fan the flames. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). With good luck comes a warning. The better the luck the sterner the warning. Youve earned your benefits and will heed all warnings that help you make the most of them. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You deserve to be happy, but not at the expense of someone elses happiness. Youll do a dance around this concept, trying to figure out a way to please everyone. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If you are to succeed, you will need more accountability built into your plan. Youll go farther with a good teacher, leader or coach than you will on your own. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). With humans, one plus one doesnt always equal two. With the right one plus an equally energetic and receptive other one, the resulting sum is unlimited. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Social horizons expand over the next three days. This is your chance to get some fresh blood running through your scene. New relationships inspire you to shine. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You have a way of attracting the martyr type today you know, the people who say things like, Dont bother. Ill just sit in the dark. The trick is to care for them before they can complain. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You ignite passion in another persons heart without meaning to. Its just that youre so passionate, and others want to get excited about life the way you are, so they cozy up. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There are many working parts to be analyzed in a power structure. Its not always obvious what (or more likely who) keeps the motor running. A relatively small player could be the key. Study and stay aware. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Native American Chief Seattle (for whom the city is named) said, Take only memories, leave nothing but footprints. The footprints you leave today will be followed by many. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It is difficult to invoke compassion once you have already started to feel angry. So before you deal with people, think about where they are coming from and what insecurities they might have that you could be sensitive to. TODAYS BIRTHDAY (July 24). The machinery hums along, and youre moderately productive until August, when things really take off. An organized teammate will help you stay on top of the fast action. Invest in September, and cash out in November. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 40, 33, 5 and 19.
