York State has legalized same-sex marriage.
On Sunday, July 24, the New York law
goes into effect, and in Binghamton the city
clerks office will be open for four hours on
that date to accept marriage license applica-
tions.
We anticipate a lot of people to come
here, so we decided to open on Sunday since
thats the day the law goes into effect, said
Angela Fagerstrom, Binghamton city clerk.
We havent decided on when we will open,
but we will be here for four hours.
Fagerstrom said people looking for more
information or help can call her office at 607-
772-7005.
Its absolutely fantastic to have this so
close, said Casey Evans of Lehman Town-
ship. Its a great day for people who love
freedom and liberty in America.
Evans said every person has the right to
marry the person they love.
Im very happy for NEPAs gay and lesbi-
an couples, Evans said. I hope that we will
soon have something here in Pennsylvania
so we dont have to travel outside the state.

Forty Fort resident Mark Rob-

tract with LAG. Towing.
I speak to you today about the
hundreds of poor people who
have lost their cars due to the
citys allowance of predatory
pricing with LAG Towing and
Leo Glodzik, Robbins told coun-
cil during his five-minute pre-
sentation. Based on public infor-
mation, the mayor and the city
are profiting off the backs of the
poorest, most vulnerable and
most defenseless citizens. It is
obvious that something is
amiss.
Robbins said his car was towed
by LAG on June 1, and he con-
tends that the city tower dam-
aged the steering on his vehicle.
Robbins claimed Glodzik was in
my face, prompting him to call
911 for help. Robbins alleged city
police officers arrived and held a
powwow with Glodzik before
talking to him and then treated
him in a disrespectful manner.
Why does Glodzik get secret
favors from the mayor and extra
special protection from the po-
lice? Robbins asked. Glodzik
has earned near royal status with

WILKES-BARRE A lawsuit
filed in Luzerne County court
last year, in which a man alleged
officials from a local nonprofit
maternity agency interfered
with his attempts to prove he
was a childs father, was discon-
tinued Tuesday.
The suit, filed in April 2010 by
Javier Ortiz, was discontinued at
the request of his attorneys, Bar-
ry Dyller and Kelly Bray, be-
cause defendants listed in the
suit were not insured, therefore
making it impossible for them to
pay money Ortiz claims is owed
to him.
Those defendants are: Da-
nielle Tomchak; His Resting
Place maternity home; Petra
Plucenik, a director at the ma-
ternity home; the Ark Learning
Center, Inc.; Barb Giordano;
Juanita Sarnak; and Lighthouse
Prison Ministries.
The case was scheduled Tues-
day before Luzerne County Se-
nior Judge Chester Muroski to
allow attorneys to argue objec-
tions the defendants had to the
lawsuit.
Another hearing was sched-
uled for later this month for ar-
gument on Ortiz not appearing
at a deposition on June 8.
Ortiz has had custody of the
child, Kayla, since February
2010.
According to the suit, Tom-
chak gave birth to Kayla in Sep-
tember 2008. At the time, Tom-
chak had been released from the
county prison on parole about a
month before the childs birth. A
representative from His Resting
Place contacted Tomchak about
placing the child for adoption.
Ortiz alleged the representa-
tive told Tomchak that if she re-
vealed the identity of the childs
father, the infant would be
placed with Children and Youth.
If she said she did not know the
fathers identify, the child could
be placed up for adoption.
About a month after the
childs birth, Tomchak advised
Ortiz that adoption proceedings
were pending and sent a letter
to His Resting Place, advising
the agency she knew the fathers
identity. By that time the child
had been placed with the pro-
posed adoptive parents.
On Oct. 15, Ortiz advised the
agency in writing that he did not
consent to the adoption and ini-
tiated a custody proceeding in
county court. Ortizs attorney
contacted a representative with
His Resting Place on Oct. 22,
but the agency maintained it did
not know the identity of the
childs father.
Ortiz next sought to have a
paternity test performed, but his
efforts were delayed because
several letters that were sent
certified mail to The Ark Learn-
ing Center were ignored, Ortiz
alleged in the suit. The test was
finally performed in December
and a month later confirmed Or-
tiz was the childs father.
The suit had sought more
than $100,000 in damages for
negligence.

PRINGLE -- Despite votes on mul-
tiple proposals and more than an hour
and a half of discussion, the West Side
Career & Technology Center still has
no operating budget, leaving board
members and administrators ponder-
ing just what it will take to pass a
budget, and what will happen if they
cant.
You cant operate the school with-
out a budget, and if you dont pass a
budget, this school is going to be
closed down, Solicitor Charles Coslett
said, noting that teachers would still
have to be paid the wages they earned
last school year and collect during the
summer.
For only the second
time in nearly three
decades, the school
was forced to call the
entire joint board of
school directors all
45 directors from the
five sending schools
into session to at-
tempt to resolve a
budget impasse. The
schools joint operat-
ing committee, com-
prising three directors
from each of the five
sending schools,
passed a budget last
month, but that bud-
get needed to be rat-
ified by a mail vote of
the 45 member joint
board.
Coslett said that in
that vote by mail ballot, the full board
failed to pass the $6,083,373 budget,
which eliminated all sports as well as
the recruiter and in school suspension
monitor positions. That failure led to
the special meeting Tuesday that just
barely drew the required 23 members
to hold the meeting. Three additional
members of the joint board joined the
meeting by phone.
The board considered and voted on
several alternate budget proposals, in-
cluding one that restored sports but
not the two staff positions and separate
proposals that added back sports and
the recruiter position as both a full-
time and a half-time position. All failed
to garner a majority vote until the
board came back from a five minute
recess and took a second vote on a
$6,190,236 proposal that kept sports
but eliminated both staff positions.
That motion passed 18-8 but failed to
pass a special state rule that requires a
tech school budget to pass not only by
majority vote but also to receive 5 af-
firmative votes from at least four of the
five sending districts. The proposal re-
ceived the required five votes only from
Wyoming Area and Lake-Lehman, and
only after Lake-Lehman called another
director who was not present to re-
quest a phone vote. When board mem-
bers started questioning the appropri-

LARKSVILLE An autopsy per-
formed Tuesday on the body of Barba-
ra Carbohn determined the Lehman
Township woman died from multiple
traumatic injuries as a result of a vio-
lent two-vehicle crash at a busy in-
tersection.
Carbohn, 70, of Lehman Outlet
Road, was ejected from a Chevrolet
when it collided with a Subaru at U.S.
Route 11 and the Carey Avenue Bridge
early Monday after-
noon.
The manner of
Carbohns death has
not been made pend-
ing the ongoing in-
vestigation, accord-
ing to the Luzerne
County Coroners
Office.
State police are reconstructing the
accident for Larksville police and Lu-

Investigators did not release the
names of a male passenger in the
Chevrolet and the male driver of the
Subaru. Both men were transported
to Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical
Center in Plains Township after the
crash.
Police Chief Anthony Kopko did not
return messages for comment on
Tuesday.
The two vehicles came to rest on an
embankment adjoining the intersec-
tion.
It remains unknown what direction
Carbohn was traveling when her vehi-
cle was struck by the Subaru, which
had heavy front-end damage. Car-
bohns vehicle was struck on the driv-
ers side.

Weidlichs lawsuit against Lu-

board and bench advertising con-
tract is still winding through
court.
Weidlich, 42, was sentenced in
April to two years probation as
part of the federal corruption
probe. He pleaded guilty a year
ago to attempting to obstruct jus-
tice by threatening a person who
hadagreedtosecretlyrecordcon-
versations with him.
He filed a suit in August 2008
through his Pittston-based busi-
ness, Roadside Advertisements
Inc., seeking $134,395 from the
county Convention and Visitors
Bureau for unpaid rent, interest
and attorney fees, according to
court paperwork.
County Judge Lewis W. Wetzel
issued an order this week in-
structing both sides to complete
discovery within120 days.
County Senior Judge Chester
B. Muroski hadalreadyruledthat

to trial if it wants to recoup mon-
ey.
Roadside had attempted to ex-
ercise a shortcut confession of
judgment clause in its contract,
which allows a judge to rule on
breachof contract claims without
a jury trial.
Muroski had said court filings
from the county demonstrated
thattherewasenoughevidencein
the case to warrant a trial.
The Convention and Visitors
Bureau board had voted unani-
mously in 2008 to stop paying for
the billboard advertisements af-
tercountyofficialsdiscoveredthe
contract had not been bid out as
required by the countys purchas-
ing policy or approved by county
commissioners as required by
state law.
Weidlichregularly receivedno-
bid business in the county and
was friends with several past
high-ranking county officials.
West Chester attorney William
J. Shehwen III, who is represent-
ing Roadside, has said he is confi-
dent his client will prevail at trial
because Roadside had a signed
contract that had been honored

U.S. Sen. Robert Casey is seek-
ing federal aid to repair damages
caused by devastating flash
flooding in and around Plymouth
because the borough does not
have the resources to fund the re-
pairs on its own.
Casey said he wrote to the ad-
ministrators of the Federal Emer-
gency Management Agency and
the U.S. Small Business Adminis-
tration requesting help.
Simply stated, neither the
state nor local governments have
the capabilities or resources nec-
essary to effectively respond to
this disaster, wrote Casey. I al-
so strongly urge that federal re-
sources be utilized to help these
communities undertake mitiga-
tion measures in order to reduce
or eliminate long-term risk to
people and property.
Sections of Plymouth, Ply-
mouth Township and Jackson
Township were heavily damaged
when a July 3 storm dropped
around a half-foot of rain in about
30 minutes, causing Coal Street
Creek to overflow.
Casey, D-Scranton, toured af-
fected areas on Friday.
ThoughFEMAs official assess-
ment of the damages has not yet
been released, initial estimates
have pegged the cost of cleanup
at $5 million to $6 million, less
than the $16 million required for
a presidential declaration of di-
saster area, but Plymouth Bor-
oughManager JoeMazur saidhis
town doesnt have the money to
pay all the repair bills.
Mazur said he doesnt know
howmuch the borough has spent
on cleanup efforts because the di-
saster happened on a holiday
weekendandthe boroughoffered
work to whichever contractors
were available.
Casey said the Small Business
Administration provides federal-
ly subsidized loans to homeown-
ers, renters and businesses to re-
place homes, businesses and
property that sustained damage
not covered by insurance.
Mazur said the cleanup effort
is going well because so many
volunteers have helped out. Ma-
zur addedthat Plymouthofficials
are grateful for the efforts of
those volunteers.

U.S., U.N. condemn Syria
S
yria came under withering interna-
tional criticism Tuesday as the
White House said President Bashar
Assad has lost legitimacy and the
U.N. Security Council unanimously
condemned attacks on the U.S. and
French embassies in Damascus.
It was a sharp escalation in pressure
on Assad and a sign that the Obama
administration could be moving closer
to calling for regime change in Syria
over the violent crackdown on a four-
month-old uprising. Previously, the
U.S. position on Assad was that he
should lead a transition to democracy
or leave.
President Assad is not indispens-
able, White House spokesman Jay
Carney told reporters in Washington
on Tuesday. We had called on him to
lead this transition. He clearly has not,
and he has lost legitimacy by refusing
to lead the transition.
The Syrian Foreign Ministry con-

that dwarf revenue from his dwindling

WASHINGTON-- Howmany govern-
ment bureaucrats does it take to screw
in a light bulb? A lot of House Repub-
licans say the answer should be none.
They say the government should just
stay out of it.
Tothem, thosenewfangledcurlyfluo-
rescent light bulbs are the last straw, an-
other example of an overreaching gov-
ernment thats forcing people to buy
health insurance, prodding them to get
more fuel-efficient cars and sticking its
nose into too many places it doesnt be-
long.
For most Democrats, its an exasper-
ating debate that, just like the oldincan-
descent bulbs being crowded out of the
market, produces more heat than light.
Republicans in control of the House
moved toward a vote late Monday on
legislation that would seek to overturn
light bulb energy-efficiency standards
and keep the marketplace clear for the
cheap, energy-wasting bulbs that have
changed little since Thomas Edison in-
vented them in 1879.
The standards in question do not spe-
cifically ban the old bulbs but require a
higher level of efficiency than the clas-
sics can produce, essentially nudging
them off store shelves during the next
fewyears. Four of Edisons descendants
said the great inventor would be morti-
fied to see politicians trying to get the
nation to hang on to an outdated tech-
nology when better bulbs are available.
The standards have not been partic-
ularly contentious before now. They
were crafted in 2007 with Republican
participation and signed into law by
President George W. Bush. People seem
to like the new choices and the energy
savings they bring, polling finds.
But now they have become a symbol
of a much larger divide in Washington
over the size and reach of government
itself. The new bulbs suggest to some
conservatives that big government is
running amok.
Bulbs focus of big-govt. debate

CHICAGO Should parents of extremely obese

and its authors are joining a quiet chorus of advocates
who say the government should be allowed to inter-
vene inextreme cases.
It has happenedafewtimes intheU.S., andtheopin-
ion piece in todays Journal of the American Medical
Associationsaysputtingchildrentemporarilyinfoster

Dr. David Ludwig, an obesity specialist at Harvard-
affiliated Childrens Hospital Boston, said the point
isnt to blame parents, but rather to act in childrens
best interest and get them help that for whatever rea-
sontheir parents cant provide.
State intervention ideally will support not just the
child but the whole family, with the goal of reuniting
child and family as soon as possible. That may require
instructiononparenting, saidLudwig, whowrotethe

er at Harvards School of Public Health.
Despitethediscomfortposedbystateintervention,
it may sometimes be necessary to protect a child,
Murtaghsaid.
But University of Pennsylvania bioethicist Art Ca-
plan said he worries that the debate risks putting too
much blame on parents. Obese children are victims of
advertising, marketing, peer pressure and bullying
things a parent cant control, he said.

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan
The powerful half brother of
President Hamid Karzai was
gunned down in his heavily for-
tified home by a close associate
Tuesday, setting off a power
struggle in southern Afghanis-
tan and raising doubts about sta-
bility in a critical area for the
U.S.-led war effort.
The assassination of Ahmed
Wali Karzai, a wheeler-dealer
and the key to
his half broth-
ers power in
the south, leav-
es the presi-
dent without
an influential
ally to handle
the tricky job
of balancing
the interests of
the regions
tribal and po-
litical leaders,
drug runners,
insurgents and
militias.
The Taliban claimed respon-
sibility for the attack, but offi-
cials immediately cast doubt
that they were involved. If they
were, it could undercut the pres-
idents own effort to talk peace
with insurgents as foreign forces
begin their exit.
The gunmans motive was un-
clear. He was identified as Sar-
dar Mohammad, who had pro-
vided security for Wali Karzai
and members of his family. Too-
ryalai Wesa, the provincial gov-
ernor of Kandahar, described
Mohammad as a close, trust-
worthy person who had gone
to Wali Karzais house purport-
edly to get him to sign some
papers.
The two men met alone in a
room. As Wali Karzai was sign-
ing the papers, the assassin
took out a pistol and shot him
with two bullets one in the
forehead and one in the chest,
Wesa said. Another official, how-
ever, said the wounds were to
Wali Karzais head, hand and
leg.
Wali Karzais bodyguards then
rushed into the room and
gunned down Mohammad.

PALM DESERT, Calif. First la-
dies, past and present, and others
who called the White House home
remembered Betty Ford on Tuesday,
not just for her decades-long work
against substance abuse but for her
contributions to a political era when
friendship among lawmakers helped
them govern.
Speakers, including former first la-
dy Roslynn Carter and journalist Co-
kie Roberts, also hailed her as a force
of nature whose boundless energy
and enthusiasm, coupled with a
steadfast determination to do what
was right, pushed the country to-
ward a commitment to equal rights
for women and other causes.
Ford, who died at the age of 93 on
Friday, reshaped the role of first lady
with her plain-spoken candidness.
In doing so, she helped bring such
previously taboo subjects as breast
cancer into the public discussion as
she openly discussed her own battle
with the disease. She was equally
candid about her struggles with
drug and alcohol abuse, and her
spearheading of the creation of the
Betty Ford Center to treat those dis-
eases has benefited thousands.
Millions of women are in her debt
today and she was never afraid to
speak the truth even about the most
sensitive subjects, including her
own struggle with alcohol and pain
killers, Carter said. She got some
criticism, but I thought she was won-
derful and her honesty gave to oth-
ers every single day.
The former first lady mapped out
plans for her funeral well in advance,
including who would deliver her eu-
logies, and Roberts said she told her
to be sure to let people know that
politics does not have to be as acri-
monious as it is today.
Mrs. Ford wanted me to remind
everyone of the way things used to
be in Washington, and I wouldnt be
surprised if she timed her death so
she could deliver the message of

In Loving Memory
Edward Kane Sr.
10/5/63 ~ 7/13/09
You have touched so many peo-
ples lives. We will never get used
to living without you. Granny is
so lost without you. Its amazing
how you kept so much going
with family & friends. The one
and only that can never be
replaced. Christie says she will
always be your little girl with all
her memories kept in her heart
as well as the rest of us. I know
this could have been prevented. Im so sorry I was not there
for you. I hope and pray you and your brothers & Johnny
are all happy until we are all together again. Death leaves a
heartache no one can heal and love leaves a memory no one
can steal. Gone but never forgotten.
Sadly missed, deeply loved,

FUNERALS
H
oward Ufberg, 12 Pen-Y-Bryn
Drive, Scranton, died Monday,
July11, 2011, at Regional Hospital of
Scranton. He is survivedby his wife,
Marcia (nee Rosenstein); their six
children, Hannah and her husband,
Jonathan, Paul and his wife, Jordan-
na, Jonah and his wife, Heather, Mi-
riam and her husband, Brian, Nao-
mi and Dina; and eight beautiful
grandchildren. Also surviving are
brothers, Murray and Bobby; life-
time friend and business partner,
Sam Starr; as well as myriad cou-
sins, nephews, nieces and friends.
Howards most outstanding char-
acteristic was his boundless gene-
rosity, and nothing brought him
more joy than giving people the op-
portunity to help themselves. He
quietly, but powerfully, embodied
the highest form of charity: anony-
mously giving so that less fortunate
ones might go to summer camp, at-
tendcollege, or furnishtheir houses
a lesson he learned fromwatching
his parents, the late Al and Leah
Ufberg, and something his children
learned from watching him.
He was well known as a business-
maninScrantonsince1971when, as
a 24-year-old, he became the owner
of the new Ufbergs HOME furni-
ture on Lackawanna Avenue, an
eight-story, 40,000-square-foot fur-
niture store. Howard set a blazing
pace and within a few short years
was widely regarded as a major
force in the furniture industry. His
customers were lifelong they
knewhimandlovedhimfor his hon-
esty, integrity, reliability, and his
old-fashioned desire to give thema
buy.
Howard was sorely disappointed
when the City of Scranton, in con-
junction with private investors and
other governmental entities, took
his beloved furniture store in 1991
under eminent domain. Against all
odds, he met the challenge withtact
and dignity. He lived and embodied
the experience of the Main Street
Merchant vs. BigBusiness, andwith
the help and support of his family
and closest friends ultimately pre-
vailed.
In recent years, tapping into the
success he and Sam Starr built in
Starr Uniform, Howard blazed the
trail for the school uniformprogram
in the Northeast with Starr School
Uniforms. His main interest in that
endeavor was that nochildwouldbe
left without. Both businesses will
continue with the team of employ-
ees who Howard treated as family,
always.
Howard was born in Shenandoah
and moved to Scranton in 1971. He
served Beth Shalom Congregation
as honored President, dutiful con-
gregant, andinany andevery capac-
ity needed through the years. He al-
so served on various charitable and
community boards including the
Scranton Lackawanna Human De-
velopment Agency, the Scranton
Hebrew Day School, Israeli Bond
Development, and participated in
Big Brothers and Sister Program
and Meals On Wheels.
Still his preference, by far, was to
refrain from board duties and in-
stead to devote his time, energies,
and resources behind the scene. He
was a staunch Zionist who garnered
an immense amount of pride from
his familys involvement inthe State
of Israel from its inception to the
present. This was his vacation spot
of choice.
The funeral will be at 11 a.m. to-
day in the Beth Shalom Congrega-
tion, Clay Avenue and Vine Street,
Scranton, with services by Rabbi
Yisroel Brotsky. The family will re-
ceive friends from 10:15 a.m. until
the time of service. Interment will
be held in Temple Israel Cemetery,
Dunmore. Shiva will be observed at
the family residence, 12 Pen-Y-Bryn
Drive, Scranton, through Monday
evening.
Donations can be made to Beth
Shalom Congregation, 1025 Vine
St., Scranton, PA 18510; or Friends
of the Israeli Defense Force, in Ho-
wards memory, 500 Office Center

posed code says. This clause
was added due to past com-
plaints that county deputy coro-

vate funeral home businesses.
The code also encourages
workers and officials to expose
questionable activity, misuse or
waste of county funds and al-
leged corruption.
Policing of the ethics code
will be handled by a five-mem-

Two registered voters select-
ed by county council will serve
on the commission with the ap-

The commission will investi-
gate written complaints of al-
leged violations and issue find-

Two registered voters select-

Complaints may be filed by
anyone, and they must be
signed. The county manager
must acknowledge receipt of
the complaint in writing within
five days.
The proposed code says all
complaints and associated doc-
uments will be considered con-
fidential personnel matters.
The commissions final recom-
mendations and conclusions
may be made public, but the
names and identifying informa-
tion of any person party to an
investigation will not be made
public, it says.
Members of the commission
must abstain from an investiga-
tion if they are involved in the
complaint.
Investigations that reveal vio-
lations of federal or state law
will be turned over to investiga-
tory authorities for possible
criminal prosecution. The com-
mission may recommend a
range of personnel actions,
from written reprimands to re-
moval from a county position
or post.
A proposed personnel code is
also up for a vote at tonights

According to statistics from
the state Department of Trans-
portation, there have been 15
crashes within 200 feet in either
direction of the intersection
from 2002 to July 12, 2010.
There were nine rear-end type
crashes, four vehicles struck a
fixed object, such as a road sign
or concrete barrier, a pedestrian
was struck by a vehicle and two
vehicles side-swiped each other,
according to crash statistics.
A traffic study performed in

The two buildings are separat-
ed by an alley about 10 feet wide.
A slow stream of oil was seen
leaking from the transformers
and it pooled on the ground di-
rectly behind the plaza building.
Due to the evacuations, the
CareerLink Center and Lu-

vestment Board offices, which
are located in the plaza building,
closed early, sending employees
and job seekers home.
Both offices are expected to

ateness of calling absent board

ent the board could not reach a
consensus, board President
Moderno Butch Rossi called a
halt to the voting process.
Before the meeting ad-
journed, Coslett thanked the
board members who attended
and called it troubling that
others had not come when the
stakes are so high.
They have an obligation to
the kids who come here, he
said.
After the meeting, board
members and administrators
clustered in small groups and
expressed frustration, wonder-
ing aloud what it was going to
take to pass a budget. While no
official decision was reached,
some expressed the opinion that
the most likely next course of
action would be to hold a meet-
ing of only the 15 member joint
operating committee to hash
out another budget proposal to
send out for another mail ballot.
We put up different motions
and none of them passed, said
Rossi. But I wont leave this un-
til we send out ballots, probably
by certified mail, so we can get
this done and do everything pos-
sible to get this school open on

DALLAS TWP. The Dallas
Township Planning Commission
met with representatives from
Williams Field Services LLC on
Tuesday to further discuss plans
for subdivision and land develop-
ment involved for its 33-mile nat-
ural gas pipeline.
No final decision was made on
the matter, but the commission
approved several application
waivers requested by the compa-
ny.
Planning Commission Chair-
man Jack Dodson advised the
boardthat whatever decisionwas
made on certain matters, it
would affect future proceedings
with other natural
gas companies.
Williams is pro-
posing to construct
its 33-mile
Springville Gather-
ing Line from
Springville Township in Susque-
hanna County, through several
townships in Wyoming County
and into Franklin and Dallas
townships in Luzerne County.
The line would tap into the
Williams-owned Transco inter-
state pipeline, which is located
underground near the Dallas
School District campus, in order
to send the natural gas to market.
The company is looking for ap-
proval for subdivision of a 4-acre
parcel owned by William and
Priscilla Perry. The proposed site
is about 1,800 feet from the four
Dallas schools.
Several issues were disputedat
the meeting, including whether
the townships subdivision and
land development ordinance can
determine pipeline easements
and if zoning applies to pipeline
construction within the town-
ship.
Dallas Township officials are
currently innegotiationwithWil-
liams to determine whether zon-
ing applies to pipelines and other
factors involved in the pipelines
and the companys proposed nat-
ural gas metering stations con-
struction.

Propane site disputed
DORRANCE TWP. Officials
of Button Oil Company, Moun-
tain Top, are in dispute with the
townships zoning officer over a
propane center that Button is
attempting to establish off In-
terstate 81 near the Blue Ridge
Trail Truck Plaza.
At Mondays board of super-
visors meeting, Zoning Officer
Alan Snelson said Button has
failed to obtain all permits,
including building and state
Department of Labor & Indus-
try permits, required for the site
and failed to file a detailed plan
with the township zoning board.
Snelson added these are major
violations.
Edward Button, an officer of
the fuel distribution company,
argued the company has ob-
tained required state and federal
permits for what he described
as a 30,000-gallon storage tank
to be placed at that location.
Button said a plan dating from
1991, signed and accepted by
the supervisors and zoning
officials of that time, had been
submitted to Snelson, but But-
ton said Snelson wont accept it.
Along with the plan, Button
added an amended plan was
presented designating the stor-
age tank. He said the tank is
intended as propane storage in
order to fill delivery trucks.
Snelson said a complaint was
filed in February 2010 before
District Judge Ron Swank of
Mountain Top in which Button
was ordered to cease operations
at the proposed propane center.
He said fines of up to $500 per
day could be imposed against
Button.

Firefighters, clerk honored
HANOVER TWP. Township
commissioners Monday honor-
ed firefighter Travis Temarantz
for his role in saving the lives of
two Lee Park Tower residents
on May 14, 2011.
Temarantz was dispatched to
the tower shortly after midnight
and learned that the alarm was
sounded for Room 615. Upon
arriving at the room, Temarantz
encountered heavy smoke and
fire and rushed into the room
and found a semi-conscious
man. Temarantz quickly moved
him to the safety of the para-
medics and then returned and
extinguished the fire. After
performing an additional check
of the adjacent rooms, Tem-
arantz rescued an elderly wom-
an whose room was filling with
smoke and took her to safety
while providing her oxygen
from his mask.
Commissioners also honored
Sharon Forsey for her 20 years
of service to the township as a
confidential police clerk in the
police department and John
Jack Rudeski for his 34 years
as a fire truck and rescue driver.
He was also a founding member
of the Hanover Township water
rescue.
In addition, the commission-
ers approved a payment of
$20,316 to Ed Krasavage Con-
struction for emergency sanitary
sewer work performed at Coal
Property off the Sans Souci
Parkway.

Curfew in place, solicitor says
WARRIOR RUN In response
to a residents concerns at the
last meeting about the use of
the basketball court and play-
ground at night, borough Solic-
itor James Pyrah said at coun-
cils meeting Monday night
there was already a city ordi-
nance from1994 that set a cur-
few for boys and girls under 18
in parks and public places in the
borough.
Mayor Jim Brodginski dis-
cussed a problem with garbage
at the baseball field. He invited
resident Sharon Wengren to
explain. She said that the gar-
bage was not being put out
properly for pickup and was
sitting at the field for days.
It stinks, she said. It was
there Saturday, Monday and
today. The mayor said he
would call the representative of
the Little League and explain
again how the garbage is sup-
posed to be stored and put out.
Council President Robert
Daylida reported plans are un-
der way to hire a zoning officer
for the borough.
Resident Christine Demko
complained about multiple
violations of the nuisance ordi-
nance by her neighbors at 518-
520 Front Street. She reported
problems with noise, parties at
late hours, trash, stench and
even rodents such as rats and
mice. Im at my wits end, she
said. My children cant even be
in their yard.
Pyrah said, You shouldnt
hesitate to call 911. But weve
got to address these problems
through the police.
He said that he would contact
the Nanticoke Police Depart-
ment, which covers the bor-
ough, and provide them a copy
of the latest nuisance ordinance.

Borough making move
WYOMING At the borough
council meeting Monday night
at the temporary borough offic-
es in the Midway Shopping
Center, Councilman Mike
Flynn, chairman of the adminis-
tration committee, said he
would meet with the contractor
at the new Public Safety Build-
ing Tuesday to go over the final
punch list of uncompleted
items. He said he hoped the
borough could begin to move
into the new building today and
also back into its existing offices
in the building next to the new
building.
He explained the move would
be gradual because the phones
have not been switched over.
Also, council voted to hire
John Bell as a part-time police
officer, as needed, at $12.50 an
hour.

Borough OKs tub grinder
WEST WYOMING Borough

MEETINGS
Weve come to the conclusion
that it would be irresponsible not
to lease.
John Arway
The executive director of the Pennsylvania Fish and
Boat Commission this week discussed the
commissions decision to open thousands of acres of public land around
streams and lakes to Marcellus Shale natural gas drilling. Revenue will
be used in part to repair 16 dams.
Complainers are urged
to spend money wisely
A
fter reading the business section of
The Times Leader on July 6, I am
wondering why so many people are
still so discontented with the economy.
The article Mohegan slots revenue up
$3M states that the slots gross revenue
was up $3 million this past fiscal year over
the one prior. Another article says that the
state liquor stores had a record $2 billion
in sales, which resulted in $496 million in
profits.
If people have this kind of disposable
income with which to drink and gamble, I
do not see how this economy is suffering.
Maybe these people should stay home and
do something constructive with their mon-
ey instead of squandering it and moaning
about economic conditions. I am tired of
hearing people complain about this econo-
my, yet if you pass that casino every week-
end, you cant even get into the parking
lot.
Also, maybe it is time for the financial
institutions that were a big part of the
economic downturn to start loosening the
purse strings and get some loans to people
who want to make some major purchases,
such as a home.
Someone has money to spend, or else
these record profits by casinos and booze
stores would not exist.

Reader holds out hope
for Pa. marriage equality
T
he passage of marriage equality in New
York State is a victory not only for the
lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender
community, but for Americans everywhere
who believe in freedom and liberty. While
its fantastic that Northeastern Pennsylva-
nia gay couples can cross the border and
take their vows, its important to note that
Pennsylvania is one of the many states in
which the laws still have to change and
the issues arent just about marriage.
In Pennsylvania it is still legal to fire
LGBT employees simply because theyre
gay, as well as to deny LGBT persons hous-
ing. Its a travesty, and although polling
tells us 69 percent of Pennsylvanians sup-
port non-discrimination laws that cover
sexual orientation, such laws have not yet
been passed. Polling also shows that a
majority of Pennsylvanians support civil
unions, yet Gov. Tom Corbett and the
Republican majority in Harrisburg refuse
to stand up for what is right, fair and just
for everyone.
Republican New York state senators
showed courage and conviction when they
voted in favor of marriage equality, and its
saddening to know that Pennsylvania
Republican legislators are cowardly hiding
behind lies and political propaganda as a
means of denying people their civil rights.
This is the Land of the Free, and denying
LGBT individuals their equal rights is an
un-American act.
LGBT Pennsylvanians must stand up
and say that enough is enough. Equality
must be demanded, and never begged for.
We will not give up until all Americans,
gay and straight, enjoy their right to marry
the person they love.
In the end, love always prevails, and the
good guys are going to win. One day, Penn-
sylvania will join our neighbors in New
York in providing full marriage equality to
our residents.
Have hope and never give up.

Writers says new law
defies moral principles
N
ewspaper articles are commenting on
the euphoria that Gov. Andrew Cuomo
of New York is experiencing with the
passing of that states homosexual mar-
riage law.
In one article, a writer asked Cuomo
about his opposition to the Catholic
Churchs teachings on same-sex marriage,
and he joked, Throughout my entire polit-
ical life the tension with the church has
come up time and time again. Gov. Cuo-
mo, a Catholic, always has demonstrated
his disregard for the teaching of the church
when voting on important moral issues.
In fact, any real grassroots effort by the
so-called conservative politicians in New
York to kill the bill apparently was neutral-
ized by Cuomo and his political thugs with
promises of money and other perks. This
aggressive move by Cuomo and other
supporters of the bill was even recognized
by the liberal New York Times, which
clearly campaigned for the laws approval.
On June 25, under the headline Behind
N.Y. Gay Marriage, an Unlikely Mix of
Forces, Michael Barbaro wrote a long and
detailed analysis on how the approval of
same-sex marriage was made possible. He
explains the role played by millionaire
contributors to the Republican Party who
supported the law, and the intense behind-
the-scenes maneuvering of the political
parties that worked together to derail any
legitimate opposition to the bill.
This explains why with polls showing 59
percent of New Yorkers against same-sex
marriage, it still managed to pass. When
voting on this important moral issue, these
Catholic conservative politicians denied
the principle of morality that good must
be done, and evil must be avoided. This
became even more evident since the key
vote that enabled the laws approval was
that of a Catholic senator, Mark Grisanti.
Maureen Dowd commented in one of
her columns that Gov. Cuomo has had a
picture of St. Thomas More hanging on
the wall of his office. What a contradiction!
For those who dont know St. Thomas
More as the Lord Chancellor of England
during the reign of King Henry the VIII, he
publicly defended the teachings of the
Catholic Church by firmly opposing the
kings designs in regard to divorce and
papal supremacy; for this, the king sen-
tenced him to death.
Gov. Cuomo and other so-called Cathol-
ic politicians before signing this bill into
law would have done well to have made a
detailed study on the life of this saintly
statesman whose picture hangs on the
wall of Cuomos office. They would have
learned by his example how a Catholic
public official should act when defending
immutable moral principles.
Before placing his head on the execu-

Why should congressmen
worry about Medicare?
C
ongressional members dont care about
Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid.
Why would they?
To someone on a congressmans pen-
sion, Social Security is pocket money, not
heat or eat money.
Medicare is not needed by someone who
gets free health care for life.
Medicaid? Show me a congressman who
is eligible for Medicaid.

RESIDENT OBAMA
on Monday made an-
other strong argument
toinclude revenue mea-
sures inanydebt-reductionpack-
age, but he didnt winany imme-
diate converts.
Republicans apparently have
decided its more important po-
litically to act as if all taxes are
thesame. TheAmericanpeople
will not accept and the House
cannot pass a bill that raises
taxes on job creators, said
House Speaker JohnBoehner, R-
Ohio.
By job creators, Boehner
must mean rich people, because
thetaxmeasures Obamapropos-
es dont target businesses that
createjobs. Theywouldraisetax-
es on the wealthiest Americans,
andnot eventhose taxpayers un-
til 2013. Besides, theresnocorre-
lation between rich peoples tax-
es and job creation.
A study by the Center for
American Progress shows over-
all job growth since 1950 was
greater when the top marginal
taxratewas70percent or higher.
The two worst years for job cre-
ationduringthat timewere2008
and2009, whichhadthe toprate
now of 35 percent.
If its job creation the Republi-
cans want, there are better ways
to accomplish that than to con-
tinue tax breaks for the wealthy
and hope that some trickle-
down effect will reduce unem-
ployment.
U.S. Sens. Bob Casey, D-Pa.,
and Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y.,
have a bill that offers tax credits
for every newjob a business cre-
ates. For weeks, former Sen. Bill
Bradley has been calling for tax
credits equaling 20 percent of
the wages and benefits of new
employees.
In his remarks, the president
pointed out the political risk he
already is taking by agreeing to
cut MedicaidandMedicare. Im
prepared to take on significant
heat frommy party to get some-
thing done, he said. And I ex-
pect the other side should be
willing to do the same thing.

AN GREATER
Wilkes-Barre again
thrive? We posed that
question in Tuesdays
editorial while making the
case for less grousingandmore
grassroots involvement for
more men and women like you
to pose solutions to our com-
munitys shortcomings and to
push for continued progress.
Today, we suggest some po-
tential starting points.
Beautify neighborhoods.
Organize volunteer crews to
do exterior painting, landscap-
ing and minor repairs on
weather-beaten homes. In oth-
er places, these programs goby
names such as Paint the
Town or A Brush with Kind-
ness. For information, visit
Habitat for Humanity Interna-
tionals website, at www.hab-
itat.org/getinv/
brush_with_kindness.aspx.
Boost safety. Expand par-
ticipation in volunteer outfits
such as the Guardian Angels
and Crime Watch, helping to
improve perceptions about
troubled city districts and pos-
sibly to deter crimes. For start-
ers, contact the Wilkes-Barre
Crime Watch Coalition at 208-
8900 or visit its website,
www.wbcrimewatch.org.
Draw families. A strong
school district usually pulls in
young families, so demand bet-
ter of Wilkes-Barre Area. Pa-
rental involvement can propel
changes, and a movement is
afoot to pay stipends to a par-
ent at each of eight schools to
recruit dedicated moms and
dads. The next board meeting
is at 6 tonight in the districts
administrationbuilding, 730 S.
Main St., Wilkes-Barre.
Amplify activities. Offer
more family friendly things to
do by, finally, creating an area
childrens museum. An exist-
ing civic club or a new group
could lend the needed know-
how and muscle power. Simi-
larly, lets see broadsupport for
the startup River Commons
initiative to offer a variety of
free entertainment. Visit
www.rivercommon.org or call
823-2101, ext. 128.
Leave a legacy. Donors to
organizations such as the Unit-
ed Way of Wyoming Valley,
www.unitedwaywb.org, and
The Luzerne Foundation,
www.luzfdn.org, can help to
patch holes in the areas social
safety net and bestow life-
changing gifts. Contact those
groups to explore giving op-
portunities, either modest or
monumental.
Ours can be a better commu-
nity, provided were willing to
make it so and not just wish
for it. So, where do you want to
begin?

Pennsylvaniaisnot expectedto
mimicNewYorkandenactasame
sex marriage lawany time soon.
StateRep. MikeCarroll, D-Avo-
ca, put it inperspective.
Considering the fact that
Pennsylvania does not prohibit
discriminationbaseduponsexual
orientation, I suspect a thorough
airingof legislationsimilartothat
enacted in NewYork is not on the
horizon, Carroll said.
Pennsylvania does not recog-
nize same-sex marriages, civil
unions or domestic partnerships.
Pennsylvaniastatutedefinesmar-
riage as between a man and a
woman.
State Sen. John Yudichak, D-
Plymouth Township, said he
doesnt support the New York
state same-sex marriage law, but
he does support civil unions.
I have consistently supported
the long-standing legal definition
of marriageas betweenamanand
a woman, he said.
Sen. John Blake, D-Archbald,
saidhe believes that any religious
community or religious tradition
that decides it wants torecognize
or formally acknowledge same-
sex unions shouldbe free to do so
without government interfe-
rence.
I believe the state should rec-
ognize civil unions -- including
thosesanctionedbyotherstates.
-- andensurethatthecivil liberties
of those involved in them as well
asanylegal rightsattendingthem
be protected under law, Blake
said.
Rep. Gerald Mullery, D-New-
port Township, said he hasnt re-
viewed New Yorks law, but said
he believes the term marriage
should be reserved for the formal
union between a man and a wom-
an.
I further believethat same-sex
couples should be afforded the
right to consummate their rela-
tionships via a civil union and be
afforded all the state-sanctioned
rights of marriage, Mullery said.
State Rep. Karen Boback, R-
HarveysLake, saidPennsylvania
is not New York and what works
there is not necessarily right for
us or reflects the will of our citi-
zens.
Pa. wont follow N.Y.s lead, lawmakers say
Area legislators arent ready
to support gay marriage, but
they would back civil unions.
By BILL OBOYLE
[email protected]
Even if gay and lesbian cou-
ples get married out of state,
Pennsylvania will not recognize
the union.
So why do it?
Its about commitment,
Evans said. We live in a country
where we are raised to grow up
to find the person you love and
get married. I will do it one day
myself, but the laws in Pennsyl-
vania have to be changed.
Bill Brown, president of Pride
of NEPA, said his organization is
transitioning from a social group
to being socially active. He said
Pride of NEPA has 850 associate
members on Facebook and about
40 dues-paying members.
Two months ago, two of our
members traveled to Connecti-
cut to get married, Brown said.
Thats the problem, those out-
of-state marriages are not recog-
nized in Pennsylvania. They are
recognized just about every-
where else. We are going to start
pushing our legislators to
change state law to allow gay
and lesbians to get married here
and to recognize the out-of-state
unions.
Brown, 51, moved to Wilkes-
Barre from New York about four
years ago. He said he wants
Pride of NEPA to become more
active in promoting these issues.
Brown said he was recently
hospitalized and his boyfriend
arrived at the emergency room
to find out his condition.
He wasnt able to get any in-
formation about me and he
wasnt allowed back to see me,
Brown said. All he knewis that I
was taken to the hospital in ex-
cruciating pain. He sat in the ER
waiting room for 12 hours not
knowing how I was doing. It
made him and I feel less than
normal.
Brown said more public dis-
cussion of the issue needs to hap-
pen.
Its on my personal agenda, of
course, he said. We need to get
our state legislators to address it,
and I intend to go before the new
Luzerne County Council when
those members are seated.
Evans said the New York state
law is a victory for Americans
everywhere, but here in Penn-
sylvania and many other states,
laws need to change.
And the issues arent just
about marriage, Evans said. He
said gay people can be fired with-
out cause and denied housing.
Its a travesty, and although
polling tells us 69 percent of
Pennsylvanians support non-dis-
crimination laws that cover sex-
ual orientation, such laws have
not yet been passed, Evans
wrote in a letter to the editor.
He said the Lesbian, Gay, Bi-
sexual, Transgender (LGBT)
community must stand up and
say that enough is enough-
.John Dawe, 29, president of
Dawe Consulting in Wilkes-
Barre, serves as executive direc-
tor of NEPA Rainbow Alliance
(gaynepa.com). He said the orga-
nization serves as a virtual com-
munity center for the regions
LGBT community.
Pennsylvania needs to recog-
nize same-sex marriage, Dawe
said. People cross the state line
to get married, and then lose it
when they return to Pennsylva-
nia. However, in past years there
has been tremendous growing
support to legally recognize
those unions in Pennsylvania.
Other states around us, like New
York, have now taken this monu-
mental step forward. Its encou-
raging and its certainly a motiva-
tor that Pennsylvania do the
same.
Ted Martin, executive director
of Equality Pennsylvania in Har-
risburg, said LGBT couples are
extremely aware of the New
York law that goes into effect Ju-
ly 24, and he expects couples to
take advantage of the opportuni-
ty to get married.
Martin, who married his part-
ner in California in 2008, said
New Yorks law will be very eye-
opening for Pennsylvanians in
general.
They will see people getting
married in New York and a
month from now, six months
fromnow, 10 years fromnow, the
foundations of society will not
have crumbled, and people will
get married and just go on living.
People will see marriage be-
tween same-sex couples is not
the end of the world, he said.
MARRIAGES
Continued from Page 1A
The Times Leader would like to
speak to gay couples seeking to
marry in New York State on Sun-
day, July 24, and thereafter, for
inclusion in a story about the new
law and its impact on the gay
community.
The city of Binghamton, about 80
miles north of the Wyoming Valley,
is planning to open its municipal
offices to accept marriage applica-
tions on July 24, when the same-
sex marriage law takes effect.
Same-sex couples from Northeast-
ern Pennsylvania contemplating
getting married in New York
should contact the city desk at
(570) 829-7180.

force Obama to repeatedly return
to Congress for debt ceiling in-
creases.
Under McConnells plan, Oba-
ma would have to submit re-
quests for increases three times
between now and next summer.
Each time, he would have to at-
tach of list of proposed spending
cuts in the same amount, but the
cuts could apply to future years
and there would be no require-
ment that they be enacted.
The House and Senate could
vote to disapprove each debt in-
crease, but Obama could veto the
disapprovals. If Congress does
debt could make for potent elec-
tion-year political imagery.
Obama has rejected plans for a
short-term agreement, but the
White House said McConnells
proposal was an acknowledg-
ment of the importance of meet-
ing U.S. obligations.
The back-and-forth played out
in a darkening atmosphere, with
the White House saying that fed-
eral officials wouldhavetodecide
what topaywhenfederal revenue
falls short of bills coming due, as
is expected in the absence of an
increase in borrowing authority
fromCongress.
Obama wants a resolution
within10 days to avoid the begin-
ning of unpredictable reactions
by financial markets to the grow-
ing uncertainty, but Republicans
accuse the White House of trying
to stampede them to an agree-
ment.
Until now, administration offi-
cials have declined to specify
which bills they would pay after
Aug. 3 with no increase in bor-
rowing authority.
But in an interview with CBS
Evening News, Obama issued
his most explicit warning about
government benefits and said for
the first time that the elderly
might not be the only ones affect-
ed.
This is not just a matter of So-
cial Security checks, Obama
said. These are veterans checks,
these are folks on disability and
their checks. There are about 70
million checks that go out every
month.
Basedoncashflowprojections,
the government will only have
enough to cover slightly more
than 55 percent of its bills in Au-
gust.
Republicans have said Treasu-
ry should prioritize its bills. But
besides debt service, the biggest
government bills are for Social
Security checks, Medicare, weap-
ons for the military, fuel, active-
duty military personnel and un-
employment benefits.
That would then entail a kind
of Sophies Choice situation
where you have to decide what
bills you can pay, said Jay Car-
ney, the presidents spokesman.
So, no, we cant guarantee, if
there were a default, any specific
bill will be paid.
Carney saidthe administration
does not want to confront a deci-
sion to pay the Chinese govern-
ment, but not pay Social Security
recipientsor veterans benefitsre-
cipients.
Some Republicans said Obama
was resorting to scare tactics to
win an increase in the debt ceil-
ing. Telling seniors that they
maynot receivetheir Social Secu-
rity checks is his backdoor way of
trying to fulfill his desire to raise
the debt limit without any condi-
tions, said freshman Rep. Tim
Huelskamp, R-Kan.
McConnell, the minority lead-
er, ignited a conservative back-
lash with his proposal Tuesday to
not override, under the plan, the
debt increase would take effect.
McConnell saidhehis proposal
was not his first choice, but that
he had little alternative but to of-
feracontingencyplan. Aslongas
this president is in the Oval Of-
fice, a real solution is unattaina-
ble, McConnell said.
McConnells proposal quickly
divided conservatives on and off
Capitol Hill. Critics called it an
abdication of Congress respon-
sibility. FreedomWorks, the large
tea party group, urged its Twit-
ter followers to tell McConnell to
find his spine.

tem of School Assessment, or
PSSA. Most other reports were
geared to things like proving the
tests were aligned with state edu-
cation standards.
The 2009 report was unearthed
by The Philadelphia Public
School Notebook, which bills it-
self as an independent, nonprofit
news serviceservingthousands of
supporters of the Philadelphia
public schools. In a July 8 story
postedonline, The Notebook said
the state provided the report after
the organization asked for it.
The 2009 forensic analysis re-
port is not included in a list of
technical reports posted on the
Pennsylvania Department of Edu-
cation website. The report notes
this was the first such forensic
study, and there is no indication
anysimilar studies weredonespe-
cificallytosniff out potential chea-
ters.
The Notebook took understan-
dable interest in the report be-
cause 22 of 89 schools tradition-
al, charter and cyber flagged by
the analysis are in the Philadel-
phia City School District
The six Hazleton Area schools
flagged as suspect in the report
are Heights Terrace, Valley, West
Hazleton, Hazleton Elementary,
Freeland and Hazleton Area High
School.
The authors of the report re-
peatedly urge cautionbecause the
study was purely statistical. It
lookedat test results, student par-
ticipationrates andthe number of
erasures on a test where a wrong
answer was changed to a right an-
swer. If test results or participa-
tion rates improved faster than
statistically expected, or if era-
sures occurred at a higher rate
than a state average, a school was
flagged.
Flagged or identified schools
or students mayhaveearnedtheir
scores unfairly. However, they al-
so may have earned them fairly,
the authors wrote. They also
noted that the study results may
give strong evidence for a testing
irregularity, but they do not pro-
vide definitive evidence of such
behavior.
Hazleton Area Superintendent
Sam Marolo did not return a call
Tuesday.
The analysis scrutinized data
from math and reading tests ad-
ministered in 2008 and 2009 in
grades three througheight and11.
It looked at results for individual
students andfor schools overall. If
certainresultsfor anysinglegrade
werestatisticallyaberrant sub-
stantially beyond what statistics
would predict should have oc-
curred a school was flagged. If a
school hadthree or more flags ina
single grade, it made the list of
schools where cheatingwas a pos-
sibility.
In Hazleton Area, Heights Ter-
race was flagged 26 times in five
grades. West Hazleton was
flagged 19 times in four grades,
and Hazleton elementary was
flagged 16 times in three grades.
Other district schools were
flagged10 or fewer times.
HazletonArea HighSchool was
flaggedthree times, as was Abing-
ton Heights High School. Scran-
ton High School was flagged five
times. All high school flags oc-
curred in 11th grade, the only
gradetestedinsecondaryschools.
The Pennsylvania Department
of Education was unaware of the
report until The Notebook asked
for it, department Press Secretary
Timothy Eller said, noting it was
produced during the administra-
tion of former Gov. Ed Rendell.
Its very frustrating to the sec-
retary (of education) that nothing
was doneinthepast withit, Eller
said, addingthestateplans totake
a closer look at the report find-
ings.
The Philadelphia Inquirer re-
ported the Department of Educa-
tionplans toreinstate the forensic
analysis, beginningwiththePSSA
tests that were administered this
spring. The results of those tests
should be made public in August.
In the introduction to the 2009
report, the authors note a regular
forensic analysis of this type cant
prove cheating, but could help
prevent it. It is important for the
forensics analyses to operate as
deterrents rather than detectors,
they wrote.
Suchdeterrenceis not free. The
Notebook pegged the cost of the
2009 analysis at $113,000.
The Associated Press contrib-
uted to this story.

the mayor and with the police.
Robbins said the city officers ap-
peared to be protecting Glodzik.
He was protected like a band of
goons would protect a rogue dictator,
he said. The cops yelled, swore, and
showed complete disdain for me. They
tried to intimidate me into oblivion. It
felt like Rodney King without the clubs.
They were bating me to lose my temper.
It was obvious they wanted an excuse to
put me in jail.
Mayor Tom Leighton did not attend
the council meeting, but city Police
Chief Gerard Dessoye was there, and he
responded to Robbins allegations. Des-
soye said the first officers at the scene
called their supervisor for assistance
when Robbins became upset. Leighton
and Glodzik could not be reached for
comment.
Dessoye saidhe has not hadany major
complaints about LAGs performance
and he scoffed at the suggestion of a
kickback scheme involving his officers
and the city administration. Marie
McCormick, city administrator, said she
took offense to Robbins allegations,
noting that LAG pays the city $50,000
per year to be the citys contracted tow-
er. She said no other money comes to
the city from LAG.
Mr. Robbins obviously wasnt satis-
fied with the responses the officers gave
him, Dessoye said. But if they were
acting inappropriate, why would they
call their supervisor Sgt. William Har-
den to come to the scene?
Robbins said he took a polygraph test
to document his account of the incident.
He said he passed with an average cer-
tainty of 99.2 percent.
Robbins said LAGs prices are way
too high. He noted that city council is
still considering enacting a towing ordi-
nance that would place a cap on what
towing companies can charge.
According to Drew McLaughlin, ad-
ministrative coordinator for the mayor,
the LAG contract sets fees as $125 for a
tow; a rollback tow is $175; and vehicle
storage is $50 per day. The contract also
states, Accidents - price changes due to
location, position, winching, clean-up,
extra equipment and extra manpower.
Robbins claims that LAG often charg-
es higher prices.
Glodzik is allowed to charge way
above the stated fee, Robbins said. He
charged me $200 and says he charges
$250 at night. Why is the contract bro-
ken for Glodzik?
Robbins said the police and city over-
look this price gouging.
Robbins said Glodzik is supposed to
file a monthly report to Dessoye. Des-
soye said he does not need the report,
noting that his officers file reports on ev-
ery vehicle towedandtowing is listedon
every ticket issued by police.
Bob Kadluboski, owner of City Wide
Towing and the citys former contracted
tower, again told council of his warn-
ings that LAG was charging inflated
prices. Kadluboski said he charged $75
per tow when he held the city contract.
After the meeting, Robbins said he is
considering taking his case to the Lu-
zerne County District Attorney or the
state Attorney Generals office for re-
view and he will request a probe.
Rules are broken and records arent
kept, Robbins said. We desperately
need an audit and an investigation to fol-
low the money trail.

slipped into his seat
without great fanfare
Tuesday, his presence
detected by a sudden
burst of camera shut-

of this British Open had

It was his first time at a news

evening at Congressional, and it
all lookedfamiliar except that the
22-year-old from Northern Ire-
land no longer had the shiny U.S.

In its place were

many more majors

starting with this
one.
With a record-set-

and British Open in the same

The British Open can be a

MOENCHENGLADBACH,
Germany The Americans feel
just fine, thank you, not tired a
bit. The high they were on after
that epic Brazil game? Thats so
yesterday.
The U.S. women are one game
away from reaching their first
World Cup final since1999 the
last time they
won soccers
biggest prize
and the
only thing on
their minds
now is beating France.
Losing is not anoption, Abby
Wambach said Tuesday. We
want to win this thing, and
France is standing in our way
right now.
The Americans are the top-
ranked team in the world and de-
fending Olympic gold medalists,
yet they were almost after-
thoughts when the tournament
began two weeks ago. Two-time
defending champion Germany
was considered the heavy favor-
ite, sure to get a boost playing on
home soil. Thenthere was Brazil,
runner-up at the last three major
tournaments and led by Marta,
FIFAs player of theyear fiveyears
running.
And the U.S.? They had to win
a playoff with Italy just to get
here, and theyd been uncharac-
teristically inconsistent with
three losses in a five-month span.
But the Germans are nowspec-
tators, stunned by Japan in the
quarterfinals. Brazil is gone, too,
losing to the Americans in a pen-
alty shootout in one of the most
exciting games ever at the World
Cup, mens or womens. And the
U.S.? Theyre still playing, and
they go into todays semifinal

RICE TWP. In his last out-
ing nearly two weeks ago, Back
Mountain pitcher Brian Step-
niaks throwing hand was hit
with a line drive off the bat of a
Plains hitter during a regular-
season game.
He left that outing immedi-
ately and was worried his right
hand was broken. Turns out, he
was fine.
The junior-to-be at Dallas re-
turned to the hill Tuesday
against the same Plains team,
trying to pitch his team to the
Wyoming Valley American Le-
gion League championship.
The hand
was in perfect
condition and
so was Step-
niak as he
tossed a com-
plete-game,
seven-hit shut-
out to lead Back Mountain to a
6-0 victory and its first league ti-
tle since 1991. The win snapped
the longest current champion-
ship drought of teams that have
remained active since then.
I was pretty nervous this be-
ing my first game back, Step-
niak said. But I just remem-
bered how I always throw and
just tried to keep it up.
Bothteams advancetotheRe-
gion 5 Tournament, which be-
gins Saturday.
Back Mountain (19-4) faces
West Branch champion Jersey
Shore at Central Columbia High
School in the events opening
game. Plains (16-8) will play
Bloomsburg (9-5), the host
team at 4:30 p.m. Saturday also
at Central Columbia.
This is a very well-deserving
team, Back Mountain manager
Tom Evans said. Theyre a
great group of guys and theyre
competitors. They play to win
and I love this team.
Stepniak was in the midst of
pitchers duel with Plains
Dutch Ell as neither team could
score through the first three in-
nings. Ell was perfect until he
hit a batter with one out in the
fourth. He didnt allow a hit un-
til there were two outs in the in-
ning. Thats when Marc Noyalis
(1-for-3, 2 RBI) broke up the
shutout as well with a run-scor-
ing single to put Back Mountain
ahead 1-0.
Ell was taken out of the game
after the inning and left only al-
lowing two hits and one run. He
struck out the side in the first en
route to six strikeouts in four in-
nings.

PHOENIXThe National League is onan
All-Star Game roll of a lifetime. Or at least of a
career.
Look at it this way: The last time the NL
captured multiple consecutive Midsummer
Classics 1994, 1995 and 1996 only one
player from this years NL squad was active.
StartingthirdbasemanScott Rolenof Cincin-
nati made his big-league debut in 1996.
Now the NL has a two-game winning
streak, thanks to its 5-1 pounding of the
American League on Tuesday night at Chase
Field. On the heels of last
years 4-3 triumph at Angel
Stadium, the NL pennant
winner once again will own
the homefield advantage in
the World Series.
Milwaukees Prince Fiel-
der, who drew the wrath of
the locals here because he
didnt select Arizonas Justin Upton for the
Home Run Derby, silenced his critics by win-
ningthe games Most Valuable Player honors.
The game turned on Fielders mammoth,
fourth-inning, three-runhomer off Texas C.J.
Wilson, giving the NL a 3-1 lead that it never
relinquished.

BUL L E T I N BOARD
Billmar Scooter has never been better and this evening she will
once again flash her stout form in the big $60,000 Fillies & Mares
Open Pace. The 6-year-old daughter of Keystone Raider was devas-
tating last week at the Downs. Leaving from post three, driver Tyler
Buter made a brush just past the opening stanza and never looked
back, spanking the field in a career-best mile of 1:50.1. The Buter Sta-
ble has been hot of late, and tonight couldnt be a better time to show
her heels to the field again and put the team of trainer Amber and
Tyler Buter back in the winners circle.

When all is said and done,
four Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
Yankees received the honor of
being selected to the Interna-
tional League All Star Game.
However, only one Yankee will
make the trip to Spring Mobile
Ballpark in Salt Lake City.
Were happy for Warren,
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankee
manager Dave Miley said. Ob-
viously, tip of the hat to the
guys that deserved to go, but
with injuries and some things
like that they are unable to go
play. They have done a nice
job.
Adam Warren will be the lone
Yankee representing Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre. The Yankee right-
hander was a late addition to
the International League All-
Star team. He has been a main-
stay at the top of the Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre rotation, appear-
ing in more games than any oth-
er member of the starting five
this season.
In 17 starts this season, War-
ren has compiled a record of 6-3
with an earned run average of
3.20. He is also second on the
team in strikeouts with 67. Da-
vid Phelps currently leads the
team with 74.
Its definitely an honor to go
to the All-Star game and I am
really excited, Warren said. I
wouldnt say I am satisfied. I
pitched pretty well, but there is
always room for improvement.
The three Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre players who will not be
attending this years All-Star
game are Kevin Whelan, Jorge
Vazquez, and Jesus Montero.
All said it was an honor to be
named to the team but cited
injuries as the reason they will
not be attending the game.
Whelan has been consistent
this season as the Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre closer. He leads
the International League in
saves with 18. He has appeared
in 26 games and has racked up
a record of 1-1. He has struck
out 32 opposing hitters, while
walking just six. He also re-
ceived a cup of coffee in the big
leagues with New York. He is
expected to return to the team
following the break.
Just to be on that team is an
honor, Whelan said. The big-
gest thing for me is I just want
to make sure Im healthy. If Im
not healthy I cant help the
team win.
Montero ended the first half
of the 2011 season on the dis-
abled list. He was forced to sit
out multiple games with back
stiffness. The Yankee catcher
hit .289 with seven homers and
33 RBI in the first half. He also
expects to return to the Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre lineup follow-
ing the All-Star break.
Vazquez also missed many
games this season due to a trip
to the disabled list. He returned
to the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre li-
neup to open the last home-
stand of the first half, and was
expected to compete in Mon-
days Home Run Derby. Howev-
er, he decided to skip the All-
Star festivities to make sure he
will be healthy to open the sec-
ond half.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (48-
41) finished the first half seven
games above .500 and sits in
third place in the I.L. North Di-
vision, 4.5 games behind the di-
vision-leading Lehigh Valley.
The Yankees open the second
half in Toledo with a four game
series beginning Thursday.

By JOSH HORTON
For The Times Leader
The AL put runners on sec-
ond and third in the ninth, but
Brian Wilson, the Giants eccen-
tric closer, came in to get the fi-
nal two outs.
Washingtons Tyler Clippard,
a former Yankees farmhand,
picked up the win even though
he faced only one batter, Texas
AdrianBeltre, andalloweda sin-
gle. The top of the fourth con-
cluded when Houston leftfiel-
der Hunter Pence threw out To-
rontos Jose Bautista at home.
The Mets Carlos Beltran
started the winning rally with
an infield hit, and thus he be-
came the most notable New
York player.
Even before that, however,
Beltran generated discussion.
During Foxs broadcast of the
game, Wilson mentioned how
much hed enjoy having Beltran
as a teammate. The Giants,
starved for offense, are interest-
ed in trading for Beltran.
"I didnt know that," Beltran
said, when asked about Wilsons
comments. "Right now, Im
playing for the Mets, and were
playing good baseball."
He reiterated the line he has
used all season: Hes happy with
the Mets, but if the Mets decide
to sell off veterans a distinct
possibilitythenhell consider
all of his options. Beltran has a
full no-trade clause, so he can
control his destiny.
Yankees reliever David Ro-
bertson made his All-Star Game
debut ina most unlikelyfashion.
As Josh Beckett warmed up to
replace starter Jered Weaver in
the second, the Red Sox right-
hander felt something in his left
knee, which he hyperextended
in his previous start, and opted
not to enter the game, citing
precautionary reasons.
So Robertson, as anofficial in-
jury replacement, took as much
time as he needed to warm up.
He issued a one-out single to his
former Yankees teammate
Lance Berkman, now with St.
Louis, but struck out the Cardi-
nals Matt Holliday, and catcher
Alex Avila threw out Berkman
trying to steal second for an in-
ning-ending double play.
The Yankees two starters,
Curtis Granderson and Home
Run Derby champion Robinson
Cano, failed to hit the ball out of
the infield in a combined four
trips to the plate.
Granderson, hitting leadoff,
grounded out to first and
grounded out to second. Cano,
hitting eighth, hit into a 3-1play
and offered a fifth-inning groun-
der tofirst that Cincinnatis Joey
Votto handled by himself.

PHOENIX Critics of a pola-
rizing immigration law in Arizo-
na protested the legislation Tues-
day in triple-digit heat outside
Major League Baseballs All-Star
Game in downtown Phoenix,
drawing sideways glances from
fans who were more interested in
getting to the game.
Two separate pro-immigrant
groups protested outside of
Chase Field before the game,
with one quietly passing out
white ribbons that symbolized
peace and unity and the other
loudly chanting in bullhorns and
marching in circles with signs
that read Boycott hate and
Stand with us.
SB1070, signed by Gov. Jan
Brewer in April, requires all im-
migrants to obtain or carry immi-
gration registration papers and
requires police, while enforcing
other laws, to question peoples
immigration status if there is a
reasonable suspicion theyre in
the country illegally.
The law is being challenged in
federal court.
You cant just pick up some-
one off the street and say, Whats
your name, show me your pa-
pers, said Antonio Medrano, an
immigrant-rights activist who
traveledfromSanFranciscos Bay
Area to protest the law. Its
called racism, and they had it in
South Africa with apartheid and
they had it in Germany with Na-
zis.
Other protesters yelled into a
bullhorn with chants of You
cant hide, we can see your racist
side! and Stop injustice!
They were staked outside the
main intersection in front of
Chase Field to get as many base-
ball fans as possible to see them.
Some of the fans looked at them
with curiosity, some with irrita-
tion, and others with ambiva-
lence as they made their way to
the entrance.
Margarito Blancas was with a
different group of protesters who
passed out white ribbons and
sheets of paper with information
about the law. Most people re-
fused to take them.
He said if his message gets
across to just one person, its
worth it.
Theythinkthis is just baseball
and baseball has nothing to do
with politics, he said. But look
at the history of baseball with
Jackie Robinson and his impact.
Robinson broke baseballs col-
or barrier in 1947.
Blancas said he came to the
U.S. fromMexico in1981 and is a
legal resident, but that some
members of his family are not
here legally.
Back then it was different. It
was more welcoming, he said.
NowI feel less than comfortable
just driving around. I have brown
skin color, so I could be pulled
over for any reason.
Amuch-smaller group of coun-
ter-protesters were across the
street, carrying signs in support
of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe
Arpaioandother signs insupport
of SB1070.
Illegal immigration is what it
is, said Andy Figueroa, who be-
longs to the group Latino and Le-
gal Immigrant Tea PartyPatriots.
It has nothing to do with racism
or civil rights. When you travel to
another country, you have to
have paperwork.

Dutchy Ell came out and
pitched a hell of a game, Plains
manager Don Stark said. From
this experience it shows that we
have another quality pitcher to
throw in regionals. Hes got to be
real proud of the way he threwto-
day.
The newly-crowned WVALL
champs broke the game open
with a five-spot in the bottom of
the sixth.
The team sent eight batters to
the plate in the frame, but only
got one hit and took advantage of
four Plains errors to open a 6-0
lead, making it harder for Plains
to mount a comeback.
Defensive letdown, Stark
said about the sixth. We had a
couple mental lapses that were
going to try to shore up before we
go down to regionals, but overall
we played a good game and Back
Mountain played an excellent
game.
Plains had opportunities load-
ing the bases with no outs in the
top of the first. It also had the
bases jammed in the sixth and
seventh, but Stepniak dancedout
of trouble each time.
He got a line-drive double play
to get out of the jam in the first
and a groundball, game-ending
rally-killer in the seventh to
clinch the league title.
I just never seem to make it
simple, Stepniak added.
I always make it complicated
for myself. It always makes me
feel better when they have their
chances and their hopes up and
then just bring them right back
down.

LEGION
Continued fromPage 1B
STATE COLLEGE A fed-
eral judge has dismissed for-
mer Penn State running back
Austin Scotts civil lawsuit
against the university, police
and a female acquaintance
over a rape charge against him
that was later dropped.
No evidence supported
Scotts accusation that the
woman, the school, police and
prosecutors conspired against
him, U.S. District Judge Wil-
liam Caldwell in Harrisburg
said in Mondays ruling. Cald-
well ruled there was probable
cause to arrest Scott in Octo-
ber 2007.
Prosecutors withdrew the
charges in 2008, and Scott fil-
ed the civil suit the following
year.
But in the ruling, Caldwell
also turned aside Scotts
claims of malicious prosecu-
tion and that police violated
his civil rights.
The Penn State defendants
argue there is no conspiracy
claim because plaintiff has
presented no evidence that
they agreed among them-
selves and (the woman) to un-
lawfully prosecute Scott, nor
any evidence of any wrongful
act. We agree, Caldwell wrote
in his 31-page ruling.
The ruling appears to finally
bring an end to the nearly-four
year drama surrounding Penn
State, Scott and his once-
promising football career. He
set state scholastic records for
most single-season rushing
yards (3,853) and touchdowns
(53) at Parkland High School
in Allentown and was a herald-
ed running back when he ar-
rived in Happy Valley in 2003.
But his collegiate career
was hindered by injuries and
lesser off-field issues. Scott
ran for 302 yards and six
touchdowns on 69 carries in
five games in 2007 before be-
ing suspended by coach Joe
Paterno for violating team
rules and never played for the
Nittany Lions again.
The school was pleased
with the dismissal, spokeswo-
man Lisa Powers said Tues-
day. University police referred
a request for comment to Pow-
ers.
We were confident in the
actions taken by police, and
have maintained throughout
that all procedures were fol-
lowed according to laws, and
policies that we have in
place, Powers said. This is
good news.
Centre County prosecutors
initially were also named in
Scotts civil suit, but a judge
removed them in 2010 after
determining they had immu-
nity.
The attorney who filed the
suit for Scott in 2008, Allen-
town-based John Karoly, also
did not immediately return a
call seeking comment. In a
court filing last month, Karoly
withdrew from a court appear-
ance on behalf of Scott.
Scott through his attorney
had claimed his aspirations to
play in the NFL were damaged
after the rape charge was filed.
He signed as a free agent with
the Cleveland Browns in May
2008 but was waived five
months later.
He now plays for the North
East Pennsylvania Miners, a
semi-professional, minor
league football team based in
Scranton.
A message left Tuesday for
Scott through a team official
was not immediately return-
ed.

LUBBOCK, Texas Former
Texas Tech coach Mike Leach
on Tuesday offered up fresh de-
tails on what he says was hap-
pening behind the scenes
around the time he was fired.
In excerpts from his book,
Swing Your Sword, Leach
said emails suggest there was
never a university investigation
into allegations he mistreated a
player, AdamJames, witha con-
cussion but rather an effort to
sell me down the river. He also
claims a public relations firm,
Spaeth Communications, was
used by the university to
smear Leachs name.
They knewthe facts werent
on their side so they used
Spaeth to spread misinforma-
tion and try to turn public opin-
ion, an excerpt says.
The university fired Leach in
December 2009 amid claims
that he mistreated James, son
of Craig James, an ESPN ana-
lyst. Leach has long denied
that, and said he believes an
$800,000 bonus he was due was
the reason he was fired.
Leach sued the school for
wrongful terminationbut a Tex-
as appeals court allowed his
trial to go forward for only non-
monetary damages.
Leach, who has lived in Key
West, Fla., since shortly after
his firing and was passed up for
the jobMarylandearly this year,
is awaitingwordonwhether the
Texas Supreme Court will re-
view the appellate courts rul-
ing. If the high court reverses
the appeals court and rules that
Texas Tech waived sovereign
immunity protection by its con-
duct, Leachs suit could go for-
ward for monetary damages.

cords at the U.S. Open and win-
ning by eight shots. Only in the
three weeks he has spent at
homehas themagnitudestarted
to sink in.
I didnt realizehowmuchof a
fussit wouldcreateorhowmuch
of a buzz, he said. Its been
nice. I thought it was great for
metowintheU.S. Open, winmy
first major. The support that Ive
had from people back home,
from everyone all over the
world, has been pretty over-
whelming.
It was impossible to miss on
Tuesday. It almost felt as though
Tiger Woods were at the Open,
still on top of his game.
There were more media inthe
room waiting for McIlroy than
those who actually listened to
Luke Donald, who is No. 1in the
worldandcomingoff a four-shot
win in the Scottish Open. They
stood against every wall in the
roomandwerethree-deepat the
doorway.
This is the newworld of McIl-
roy. Andhe says hes ready for it.
Thisiswhat Ivealwayswant-
ed to do, McIlroy said. Ive al-
ways wanted to be a successful
golferandbeoneof thebest play-
ers intheworldandtowinmajor
championships. If I have to put
up with a few things along the
way, then Imfine with that.
McIlroyhasnt playedsincehe
won the U.S. Open, taking time
off to catch his breath, go to
Wimbledon and a heavyweight
fight in Germany, then getting
back to work on his game.
It wont be the same test this
week.
Royal St. Georges is not quite
as vicious as it was in2003when
BenCurtiswastheonlyplayerto
break par, even though the wind
was not uptoits typical strength
that year. McIlroydidmost of his
preparation on the links course
last week, so he missed the big
blow Tuesday that showed just
howtough this can be.
On the par-3 11th hole, which
measures 243 yards, Dustin
Johnson knew deep down it
would take a driver to reach the
greenintosuchawind, but pride
wouldnt let him. Hecrusheda3-
wood and still came up short of
the green. Phil Mickelson hit
driver, thenlookedbackat John-
son and Rickie Fowler and said,
I dont knowwhy you guys laid
up.
Donaldcouldnt reachthefair-
way on the 564-yard seventh
hole, a carry of only about 225
yards. On another hole, he hit 7-
iron from 119 yards because he
didnt want the ball to get up in
the air.
The U.S. Open was soft this
year because of rain. The British
Openis firm, andbouncyas ever
at Royal St. Georges.
Today it really tested every-
thing, Donaldsaid. I still think
the guy that can scrap it around
and make pars from off the
green, hole some long putts and
kind of keep the momentumgo-
ing, especially when its very
tough like it was today, then
thats the key to playing well.
McIlroy did everything right
at Congressional, which is why
so much is expected of him. He
still believes, like so many other
athletes, that the publics expec-
tations are not as great as his
own. Still, this is a different
week, and a very difference ma-
jor.
I dont think Ill be able to
playthat sort of golf everyweekI
teeit upI hopeI do, but I cant
see it, he said. Yeah, expecta-
tions are going to be high. I have
highexpectations myself. I want
to go out there and try and win a
lot of golf tournaments and win
majors and become the best
player in the world. All I need to
do is focus on my game, and if I
candothat, I knowmy goodgolf
is good enough to win plenty
more tournaments.
But thereis somethingspecial
about this kid.
Its not only his simple, funda-
mentally sound swing, but the
way he draws people to him be-
causehelooks likehes havingso
much fun. Even as his celebrity
grows, McIlroy appears to stay
grounded. In his final prepara-
tion for the British Open, he
went to Royal County Down at
twilight, carriedhisownbagand
playednine holes withhis father
tagging along.
The thing about Rory is that
he plays golf with a real flair and
a real charisma, and I think fans
are drawn to that, Mickelson
said.
OPEN
Continued from Page 1B
Then came four days at Con-
gressional Country Club that
made people forget Tiger
Woods isnt playing much golf
these days.
Now comes a week that
might tell us as much about
McIlroy as he found out about
himself at the U.S. Open. A
week that could answer the
question of the past month: Just
how good can McIlroy be?
We already know the kid is
the real thing. He proved that by
taking a victory lap around
Congressional on the final Sun-
day in an eight-shot rout that
brought back visions of the way
Woods used to toy with fellow
competitors.
But will McIlroy win major
championships in bunches? Will
he dominate over time the way
he dominated a few weeks back?
History suggests not. Players
who are truly great come along
only once every era, and this era
already has one.
Sitting in a packed interview
room Tuesday, though, McIlroy
suggested yes.
All I need to do is focus on
my game, and, if I can do that, I
know my good golf is good
enough to win plenty more
tournaments, he said.
That no one doubts. McIlroys
swing is a beauty reminiscent of
other times, and his putting is
good enough to carry him if that
lets him down.
Whether it will happen this
week is another matter. Al-
though British bookmakers
have made McIlroy a prohibitive
favorite, only six players have
won both the U.S. Open and
British Open in the same year in
the long history of both cham-
pionships.
Erasing the inevitable hangov-
er that comes from victory
might be the hardest part for
McIlroy.
It will be interesting to see,
said Graeme McDowell, a fellow
Northern Irishman who won the
U.S. Open last year, then
promptly went into a slump.
Its going to be overwhelming
for him. Thats how it was for
me last year.
Unlike McDowell, though,
McIlroy seemed to be building
for his big win long before it
happened. He was in contention
at three majors before finally
breaking through, learning
some painful lessons that served
him well when he was poised to
win his first major title at the
U.S. Open.
He has led seven of the eight
rounds of the two major cham-
pionships so far this year, and
managed to come back from a
final round collapse at the Mas-
ters to lap the field at Congres-
sional.
Like a fighter who gets better
after he wins a title, McIlroy
believes he will be better now
that no ones asking when he
will win his first major.
It has lifted a huge weight off
my shoulders, he said. Now I
can talk about winning my
second one after having won the
first.
Its hard to find anyone root-
ing against McIlroy adding that
second major. The unassuming
22-year-old with a mop of curls
has a connection with fans that
even Woods would envy, and he
brings excitement to a sport
that has been badly missing it
ever since Woods crashed his
SUV one fateful Thanksgiving
night.
The thing about Rory is that
he plays golf with a real flair and
a real charisma, and I think fans
are drawn to that, Phil Mick-
elson said.
McIlroy did the kind of things
youd expect after winning the
U.S. Open, watching some tennis
courtside at Wimbledon and
watching ringside as Wladimir
Klitschko beat David Haye in a
heavyweight title fight in Germa-
ny. He didnt pick up a club for 10
days but has spent the last 10
days making sure his game is in
order for a golf course that will
play fast, firm and hard.
On his final night at home, he
took his dad out for a late nine
holes, the same thing he did
before he went to St. Andrews
last year and opened with a 63.
It was the kind of round the
two would play together while
McIlroy was growing up.
It was just me and him on the
golf course, McIlroy said. It
sort of brought back a lot of
memories, playing with my dad
on long summer nights.
Refreshed and recharged,
McIlroy is ready to make some
new memories. Hes not afraid of
the spotlight, and he seems to
embrace the pressure.
Soon well find out just how
big a star he will be.

SANDWICH, England Lee
Westwood believes he has the pa-
tience to master a mentally frus-
trating Royal St. Georges course
andfinallylanda first major title.
When the British Open was last
held at Sandwich in 2003, West-
wood teed off ranked No. 266 and
shot 9over tomiss the cut.
Things couldnt be more differ-
ent fromeight years ago. With the
Englishman No. 2 in the rankings
and among the favorites to lift the
Claret Jug, a more mature West-
wood is confident he can master
the notoriously difficult course
known for its undulating fairways
andpotentiallywickedwind.
(Thereare)acoupleof fairways
out there which you can get bad
breaks, Westwood said. At some
pointduringtheweek, youregoing
toneedpatience
its going to
be tested. But
Ive got plentyof
that.
Its mentally
frustrating out
there. I think
thats why peo-
pleeither likeor dislikeit. I likethe
golf course ... it makes you think
constantly and adapt to the situa-
tion.
Tiger Woods fall from grace in
the past two years has opened the
door totheNo.1rankingandWest-
woodhas takenfull advantage.
He ended Woods reign in Octo-
ber and has been the top-ranked
player for 22 weeks since then, los-
ing it in May to compatriot Luke
Donald.
Considering his run of form in
2011andwithWoodsagainmissing
this week through injury, West-
woodhas a great chance toendhis
major drought. Hes comeupshort
at the British Open, where he fin-
ished fourth in 2004, third in 2009
and second last year to South Afri-
cas Louis Oosthuizen.
Ill just go out there and try my
best really, hesaid. Hopefully, its
a mathematical progression
third, second, obviously, Im hop-
ingfor a first. But well see.
At 38, Westwood doesnt think
his days are numbered in terms of
finally becoming a major cham-
pion.
People would have said I was
comingintomyprime10years ago
andthenIdroppedtoNo. 270inthe
world, sowhats thepoint inguess-
ingwhetheryoureatyourprimeor
not? said Westwood, who has
racked up 21tournament victories
onthe EuropeanTour.
I dont particularly think its an
age thing, either. I think so many
players play well into their early to
mid-40sjustrecentlythattheresno
point in thinking about it. It de-
pendshowfityoukeepyourselfand
howmentallyupfor it youare. You
know, youve got towant it still.
Westwood hasnt finished out-
side the top 20 in his last nine
events ontheEuropeanTour, mak-
ing himconfident this couldbe his
year on a links-style course he
knows well.

with more than a touch of swag-
ger.
Wehavewhat it takes, Wam-
bach said. Its just a matter of
putting it all together.
The biggest uncertainty for
theAmericans isnt their fitness,
its their backline. Rachel Bueh-
ler has started all but one game
the last two years, andher bruis-
ing style of defense she isnt
called the Buehldozer for
nothing has been vital. But
shes suspended for the semifi-
nal after getting a red card for
taking down Marta in the box in
the 65th minute Sunday.
While U.S. coach Pia Sund-
hage wouldnt say who will play
in Buehlers place, Becky Sauer-
brunn was working with the
starters during training Tues-
day.
Ive been fortunate enough
to play with her (with the WPS
magicJack) so were very con-
nected that way, said Christie
Rampone, the U.S. captain and
its other central defender.
Becky and I feel confident to-
gether. Well watchsomefilmon
France today, see what little tac-
tics they have, what little tend-
encies they have with their for-
wards, communicate with each
other and well be fine.
They will have to be because,
much like Brazil, France has cre-
ativity and flair.
Playmaker Louisa Necib, she
of the silken touch and deft pas-
ses, has been likened to Zine-
dine Zidane, the highest compli-
ment a French player can get.
Her control of the midfield is
masterful, the driving force be-
hind Frances quick, fluid of-
fense. Les Bleues often appear
seamless no surprise consid-
ering 10 of the 21 players are
teammates at Olympique Lyon-
nais, whichwonthis years wom-
ens Champions League final.
For us, its very important to
be patient, Sundhage said. We
need to pick up the rhythm and
dictate the tempo, and we need
the midfield to get more in-
volved. I dont want to make it a
stretch game. Or make it a
(physical) fight.
But France has struggled
against bigger, more physical
teams inthe past, andthey dont
come much stronger than the
Americans.
Its true weve had one addi-
tional day of rest, French coach
Bruno Bini said. I think its
quite fair because the American
team is in better shape.
While the Americans have
their quickest turnaround of the
tournament, getting just two
days rest between games,
France hasnt played since Sat-
urday. But Les Bleues had an
emotional doozy, too, beating
England 4-3 on penalties after
scoring in the 88th minute to tie
it 1-1.
Its very easy after a victory
to be in shape again, especially
when youve already seen your-
self packing to go home, Bini
said. After that, it is veryeasyto
get highly motivated for this
match.
Unlike the Americans, who
have reached the semifinals at
each of the six World Cups, this
is the first trip for Les Bleues.
And they have never beaten the
Americans, going 0-11-1 in their
previous meetings. The U.S. has
scored 38 goals in the 12 games
to just eight for France.
Of course, Mexico had never
beaten the Americans, either,
and look what happened in re-
gional qualifying.
But the bumpy road, as
Sundhage likes to call it, has
made the Americans stronger,
their success even sweeter.
Their grit and determination is
one of the reasons theyve be-
come such a huge hit back
home, with Hollywood celebri-
ties, professional athletes and
folks whove never seen a soccer
game before all rallying behind
them.
CUP
Continued from Page 1B
FRANKFURT, Germany
Only hours before their quarter-
final match of the World Cup,
captain Homare Sawa and the
rest of the Japanese players
were transfixed by slides of the
devastation heaped on their
country from the earthquake
and tsunami.
That evening they went out
and upset mighty Germany, the
two-time defending champions
playing at home. The Japanese
players reached their first World
Cup semifinal with a fighting
spirit that beliedtheir size inthe
face of the towering hosts.
They touched us deep in our
souls, star Aya Miyama said of
the pictures.
Sawa added: As a player we
cannot do very much for Japan,
but at least we can try and play
as hard as we can.
Coach Norio Sasakis effort
worked. The session gave the
players more stability and
heart for the match.
After the breakthrough victo-
ry on Saturday, there is no more
need for such inspiration ahead
of the semifinal against Sweden
on Wednesday.
In sharp contrast, Swedens
march through the tournament
has been as carefree as the twir-
ling, joyous team dance that ac-
companies every victory.
We cannot play for the same
reasons, obviously, as them,
Sweden captain Caroline Seger
said.
That 1-0 victory over Germa-
ny, when Sawa set up Karina
Maruyama for the decider deep
in extra time, silenced the sell-
out crowd in Germany but
brought joy back home and
front-page headlines across the
nation.
The banner headline that en-
dears them to all in Germany
reads: To our friends around
the world Thank you for your
support. The players forma so-
lemn postgame procession and
carryit aroundthestadiumafter
each win.
It refers to
the global
outpouring
of aid in the
wake of the
March 11 di-
saster that left nearly 23,000
dead or missing and caused a
crisis at the Fukushima nuclear
plant.
The memory of the tragedy
has been a constant theme run-
ning through the team at the
three-week tournament.
The players know in their
heart what has been going on,
Sasaki said. The players were
deeply impressed and the feel-
ing connected to their heart.
InJapan, the teams rise at the
World Cup and its stunning up-
set of Germany has brought re-
lief from the daily pain. The
country has been battered by
dozens of strong aftershocks
since the strongest quake in Ja-
panese history.
Their success on the global
stage has turned into a bigger
hit than baseball or sumo wres-
tling, and the media dominance
of a womans sport is a huge sur-
prise in itself.
The players also get some-
thing in return, Sasaki said. See-
ing howthe Japanese prevail de-
spite such adversity is a mental
boost.
The images of these people
gave us strength, Sasaki saidaf-
ter Japan scored against a tiring
opponent.
The team is called Nadeshi-
ko in reference to an indige-
nous flower and the beauty of
Japanese womens spirit.
On the field, Nadeshiko trans-
lates into crisp, precise passing
and lightning quick moves that
have dumbfounded bigger and
physically stronger opponents,
like the Germans.
In that sense, the Swedes
have been forewarned.
They already had a taste of
whats to come with a 1-1 draw
against Japan in a pre-World
Cup exhibition.

WASHINGTON An over-
whelmingly female jury with lit-
tle interest in baseball will de-
cide whether former pitching
star Roger Clemens lied to Con-
gress whenhesaidhenever used
performance-enhancing drugs.
The jurors who took their
seats Tuesday include a woman
whose cousin, former outfielder
Al Bumbry, was a coach for the
Boston Red Sox when Clemens
played for the team. Another
woman on the jury said she be-
lieves Philadelphia Eagles quar-
terback Michael Vick was done
wrong in his criminal convic-
tioninconnectionwithdogfight-
ing.
The jury took shape after four
days of questioning by U.S. Dis-
trict Judge Reggie Walton and
lawyers for both sides. Clemens
defense team said the seven-
time Cy Young Award winner
will begin his defense by ques-
tioning the propriety of lawmak-
ers investigation into whether
Clemens used performance-en-
hancing drugs. Opening argu-
ments are scheduled for today.
Both sides seemed to want to
start with a blank slate and
sought jurors who dont have
many preconceived notions
about the case or Clemens him-
self. When the Eagles fan said
during questioning that she
didnt know a thing about base-
ball, Clemens attorney Rusty
Hardin responded, Thats a
plus.
The jury includes a 22-year-
old aspiring fashion designer
who works two part-time jobs
and cares for her young daugh-
ter and an older woman who
said her three-times-a-week dial-
ysis treatments will not keep her
from attending the trial.
Another juror is ayogateacher
and lawyer who said she finds
U.S. drug laws a bit heavy-hand-
ed.
The two sides threw out the
maximum number of 20 people
before the jury of 10 women and
two men along with four alter-
nates were seated. The jurors
themselves were not told who
among them are alternates but
they were toldto avoidnews and
sports programs. To keep the
panel from encountering the
dozens of journalists at the cour-
thouse, the judge told themthey
will meet off site each daily, be
bused into a back entrance and
use nonpublic corridors. They
will be served breakfast and
lunch in what was once a judges
chambers so they dont have to
use the cafeteria where report-
ers, attorneys and Clemens him-
self take their meals.
Clemens sat andwatchedfinal
jury selectionbut didnt weighin
and left it to his lawyers to pick
who will decide his fate. His
wife, Debbie, was back home in
Houstonwiththeir sons after be-
ing in court last week, Hardin
said. She will be a witness in her
husbands defense and will not
be allowed to attend the trial un-
til after she testifies, a fact Har-
din explained to jurors who
might otherwise wonder where
she was.
Clemens attorney Michael At-
tanasio revealed Tuesday that
Clemens plans to begin his de-
fense by questioning if lawmak-
ers investigation into whether
he used performance-enhancing
drugs was proper.
Attanasio said the hearing
heldby the House Oversight and
Government Reform Commit-
tee in February 2008 had noth-
ing to do with Congress respon-
sibility for legislation. He said
the hearing was only concerned
with airing a credibility con-
test between Clemens and his
longtime trainer, Brian McNa-
mee, who said he injected the
pitcher with steroids and human
growth hormone.
Clemens denied those allega-
tions and has been charged with
perjury, false statements and ob-
struction of Congress. The ob-
struction count charges Clem-
ens with making 15 false or mis-
leading statements to the com-
mittee, including his repeated
denials he didnt take perform-
ance-enhancing drugs during
his 24-season career and even
whether he attended a1998 pool
party at Toronto Blue Jays team-
mate Jose Cansecos home in
Miami.
Were going to have a mini-
trial on whether Roger Clemens
went swimming at Mr. Canse-
cos house, Attanasio said.

Big Jim is favored
in Meadowlands Pace
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.
Big Jim, last seasons champion
2-year-old pacer in the U.S. and
Canada, was made the 2-1 favor-
ite for the $1 million Meadow-
lands Pace on Saturday night.
Big Jim will start from post
No. 2 with Phil Hudon at the
lines. He won the fastest of the
two Pace eliminations last week
in 1:50. Custard The Dragon,
the 4-1 second choice from post
No. 3, took the other elimina-
tion in 1:50 2/5.
The two elimination winners
earned the right to pick their
posts. The other eight spots in
the 10-horse field were randomly
selected for the mile race.
Big Jim won the two-horse
draw to determine the first
overall pick. Owner Jim Carr
took the second slot, saying it
was Hudons preferred post.
A winner of 9 of 16 races and
more than $1.2 million, Big Jim
is a perfect 3 for 3 at the Mead-
owlands.
I dont know if he loves this
one more than any other track
because I cant speak for him,
Carr said. Hes had the lead in
all three races here from the
opening quarter on, and hasnt
relinquished it. Hes a compet-
itive horse and he knows what
racings all about.
Montrell Teague, the driver of
Custard The Dragon, selected
post No. 3, the same starting
point as in last weeks elim-
inations.
Teague, 20, will become the
youngest driver in Pace history.
He will steer the colt for his
father George Teague, Jr. who
also trains two other horses in
the field: Feel Like A Fool, 12-1
from post No. 4 and Wink N
Atcha, 15-1 from post No. 5.

Irvin tells magazine
his brother was gay
DALLAS Hall of Fame
receiver Michael Irvin tells a
magazine that his womanizing
may stem from seeing an older
brother whom he idolized
dressed as a woman and learn-
ing the brother was gay.
In the latest issue of Out
magazine, Irvin says he feared
Vaughn Irvins sexual orien-
tation would become publicized
and would shame the family. He
also feared that he was gay,
adding that his fast living may
have been to accentuate his
heterosexuality.
Irvin and Vaughn remained
close until Vaughns death in
2006. He was 46 when he died
of stomach cancer.

Tiger Woods gets
bio treatment in comic
PHILADELPHIA Golfer
Tiger Woods is the latest celeb-
rity and athlete to get his own
unauthorized biography in a
comic book.
Publisher Bluewater Produc-
tions Inc. said Tuesday that it
will release its one-shot issue
Fame: Tiger Woods on
Wednesday in book stores, com-
ic book shops and online, as it
expands its already burgeoning
line of biography comics that
have profiled people from poli-
tics to music to film.
Those profiled so far have
included first lady Michelle
Obama, singer Lady Gaga, For-
mer Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and
Facebook founder Mark Zucker-
berg.
Written by C.W. Cooke and
illustrated by Marcelo Salaza,
the 32-page issue is part of the
Vancouver, Wash.-based compa-
nys look at celebrity culture and
how those in it rise from obscu-
rity to notoriety and deal with
life in the public eye.
Tiger Woods is, in most
respects, the most famous golfer
of all time. He may have had
some recent troubles, but his
life is one filled with very in-
teresting tidbits, said Jason
Schultz, Bluewaters executive
vice president.
Woods, 35, was the former
world No. 1, but recently tum-
bled to No. 17, his lowest spot in
14 years.

I N B R I E F
NEW YORK Think back
four months to that disappoint-
ing day in March when the NFL
lockout began. The general opin-
ion was the owners and players
would reach a new labor agree-
ment long before training camps
opened.
They had plenty of time and
about 9 billion reasons to get it
done.
Well, some training camps
open at the end of next week,
and the two sides have not yet
gottenit done. Yes, they are clos-
er than ever, with several key is-
sues particularly how to split
more than $9 billion in revenues
just about settled.
But there is serious doubt that
adisruptiontothepreseasoncan
be avoided. While the regular
season still appears safe, the sit-
uation isnt as simple as shaking
hands and going back to busi-
ness as usual, even assuming
owners and players patched ev-
erything up when face-to-face
talks resume today an unlike-
ly scenario.
Yet without a collective bar-
gaining agreement in place
soon, many teams will need to
delay training camp. The New
York Giants and Jets and Balti-
more Ravens already have can-
celed out-of-town camps and
will do all their preseason work
at their home facilities, at a sig-
nificant cost to the communities
where theynormallywouldhave
gone.
The Pro Football Hall of Fame
inductions will go on as sched-
uled on Aug. 6. But the game the
following day between the St.
Louis Rams and Chicago Bears
is in jeopardy, which certainly
would put a damper on the fes-
tivities.
And with owners and players
haggling over the rookie wage
scale, guidelines for free agency
andhowbenefits for retiredplay-
ers will be funded, the next few
days are critical. Should the dif-
ferences remain strong and pre-
vent a timely deal, the first full
weekend of preseason games
couldbecanceledat a cost up-
ward of $60 million.
Evenwhenanagreement is re-
ached, it needs to be ratified by
players andowners, apotentially
time-consuming process.
There are a few court cases
that must be resolved, including
the antitrust lawsuit brought
against theleaguebyTomBrady,
Peyton Manning, Drew Brees
and seven other players.
Theres evenachancetheplay-
ers could still pursue a lockout
injunction for rookies and free
agents after an appeals court
ruled last week that the work
stoppage could continue.
It might seemoddthat thetwo
sides are so close on sharing rev-
enues, the most contentious is-
sue back in March, yet are being
held up by other topics. But the
owners have been seeking more
right-of-first-refusal tags for un-
restricted free agents, and they
want a rookie salary system to
extend about halfway into the
first roundof the draft. Theyalso
seek longer rookie contracts for
first-rounders.
The players are adamant
about gettingbacktofreeagency
rules similar to 2009, when a
four-year veteran whose con-
tract expired was unrestricted.
That changedtosixyears in2010
because there was no salary cap.
N F L L A B O R
Sides have resolved some issues
Rookie wage scale and free
agency remain among
sticking points to agreement.

CARMAUX, France After
all the feuding and hard words,
AndreGreipel finallygot what he
wanted and it had nothing to do
with talk: a winning ride in the
Tour de France.
The German sprinter beat
Mark Cavendish his former
teammate andsometimes adver-
sary by the length of a wheel
Tuesdaytocapturethe10thstage
of a three-week race that is soon
toleavetheflatlandsfortheperil-
ous climbs of the Pyrenees.
Thomas Voeckler of France
kept the yellow jersey after nes-
tling safely in the main pack for
mostof theday. Defendingcham-
pionAlbertoContador didmuch
the same, and the Spaniard had
evenmorereasontobecareful af-
ter hurting his right knee during
crashes in the fifth and ninth
stages.
Atthebeginningof thestage, I
wasnt sure what to think, said
Contador, a three-time cham-
pion. But as the stage pro-
gressedmy knee was feeling less
sore.
Contador, the best climber in
the world, trails main rivals Ca-
del Evans of Australia and Andy
Schleck of Luxembourg by 1:41
and 1:30 entering Wednesdays
flat run.
Tuesdays 98-mile trip from
Aurillac to Carmaux ended with
Cavendishapplying brutal accel-
erationandseeminglyheadedto-
ward his third stage victory in
this Tour. Instead, Greipel got on
hiswheel andsurgedaheadinthe
last 20 yards, a winning leg in cy-
clings showpiece race at last se-
cure.
Greipel and Cavendish
clashed last year while on the
HTC-Highroad team. Greipel,
who now rides for Omega Phar-
ma-Lottoteam, was ina concilia-
tory mood.
I have a lot of respect for Ca-
vendish he was won17 stages
of theTourdeFrance. NowI have
one, Greipel said. He was not
always really friendly with his
comments (about) me. This is
not mylevel. I just trytoshowon

ways said to my teammates that
weneedtobelieveinourraceand
do our ownthings.
Jose Joaquin Rojas of Spain

Cavendish is one of the most
outspoken cyclists, his com-
ments sometimes scathing. But

We had a chat after the Cha-

Greipel said. I think he has

MINNEAPOLIS The Min-
nesota Timberwolves fired Kurt
Rambis onTuesday, ending more
than three months of uncertainty
and awkwardness surrounding
the head coach of the worst team
in the NBA last season.
Rambis was 32-132 in his brief
stay in Minnesota, including 17-
65 this past season.
I want to thank Kurt for his
contributions to our franchise
and wish him the best in his fu-
ture endeavors, Wolves presi-
dent of basketball operations Da-
vid Kahn said in a statement is-
suedby the team. His arrival sig-
naled we were serious about
building a championship-con-
tending ballclub over the course
of time. We have accumulated a
solid nucleus of young talent
with a bright future during the
last two years. I am hopeful Kurt
receives his share of the credit for
helping develop that talent and
his contributions are not forgot-
ten as we become a better basket-
ball team.
Kahn hired Rambis in 2009 to
turn around one of the leagues
struggling franchises. But the
Wolves won just two more games
this year than they did in his first
season, and Kahn felt compelled
to cut ties with the first coach he
hand-picked to
help him re-
build the
Wolves.
Rambis
asked for a four-
year contract to
leave his prime
job as Phil Jack-
sons top assistant with the Lak-
ers. That means owner Glen Tay-
lor will be on the hook for the fi-
nal two years and $4 million of
that deal while he and Kahn look
for a new coach to work with the
youngest team in the NBA. The
move could prove even more
costly if the lockout wipes games
off the schedule next season.
Imgrateful for the opportuni-
ty that Timberwolves owner
Glen Taylor has given me, Ram-
bis said in a statement given to
The Associated Press. During
my years working with coaches
Jackson, (Pat) Riley and (Cot-
ton) Fitzsimmons, I learned all
about the ups and downs of this
sport. And today is one of the
down days.
But Im confident that my
work and the work of my staff
with our many young players
over the last two years will begin
to pay off for Mr. Taylor and Tim-
berwolves fans. Now, as impor-
tant newplayers are added to the
mix, the future of this franchise
should be a bright one, and I am
thankful for the chance I had, to
play a part in shaping that fu-
ture.
The Timberwolves tied their
franchise low with15 victories in
2009-10, but both Kahn and Ram-
bis said after their first season in
charge that they were focused
more on positioning the fran-
chise to be competitive financial-
ly than they were about being
competitive on the court.
They were successful on that
end, clearing massive cap space
and acquiring first-round draft
picks in hopes that they would
capitalize onthose assets tobuild
a strong foundation.
Rambis watched Kahn turn
over the roster substantially for
the second straight offseason to
set up this year, making the Tim-
berwolves much more athletic,
but also much younger and less
experienced. The pups struggled
all season to mesh on the court
and grasp Rambis complex
schemes.
Kevin Love blossomed into an
All-Star and Michael Beasley and
Darko Milicic also showed flash-
es of the potential that made
them top draft picks. But the
Wolves were making the same
mistakes too many turnovers,
poor perimeter defense, inconsis-
tent ball movement.

Marriott earnings
Marriotts earnings will give
investors a sense of the
health of the travel industry.
The hotel operator struggled
during the recession as busi-
ness and leisure travelers
stayed home. But demand for
hotel rooms recovered during
the last year. The question is
whether travelers have made
fewer hotel reservations
during the spring and early
summer because of higher
gas prices and rising airfares.
Bernanke speaks to Congress
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke will give his
semiannual economic report to the House Financial Ser-
vices Committee. Its the first of a two-day appearance
on Capitol Hill. The Fed lowered its forecast for economic
growth last month because of high unemployment and
the depressed hous-
ing market. It now
predicts growth
between 2.7 percent
and 2.9 percent this
year, down from its
April estimate of
between 3.1 percent
and 3.3 percent.
Yum Brands earnings
When Yum Brands reports its
second-quarter earnings, inves-
tors will be paying particular
attention to results at Taco Bell.
The fast-food chain makes up
about 60 percent of Yums profits
in the U.S. But Taco Bell sales
were flat in the first quarter after
a lawsuit questioned the beef
content of the filling in the chain's
tacos and burritos. The lawsuit
was dropped in April, but ana-
lysts worry that it still hurt sales
in the latest quarter.

Ireland news hurts shares
U.S. stocks closed near their lows of
the session Tuesday after Moodys
downgraded Irelands debt to junk
status, erasing a small rally triggered
by minutes of the Federal Reserves
latest meeting.
U.S. stocks had made a brief spurt
higher after minutes from the Federal
Reserves latest meeting showed a
minority of members supported provid-
ing extra stimulus to the economy.
In other economic data, the Com-
merce Department reported the U.S.
trade deficit in May surged 15.1 per-
cent, largely due to the increased cost
of oil imports.
Among the Dows leading stocks,
Boeing Co. shares fronted losses, fall-
ing 1.9 percent, followed by Intel Corp.
with a 1.8 percent decline.
Shares of Cisco Systems Inc. gained
1.1 percent on speculation the tech
company may cut 5,000 jobs
Cigna moving HQ to Conn.
Cigna says its changing the location
of its corporate headquarters from
Philadelphia to Connecticut in ex-
change for a $50 million package of
state tax credits and job training
grants.
The health service and financial
company announced Tuesday the com-
pany plans to add at least 200 jobs in
Connecticut within the next two years,
increasing its employment in the state
to more than 4,000 workers.
The companys corporate headquar-
ters has been in Philadelphia since
1982.
Netflix hiking prices
Netflix is raising its prices by as
much as 60 percent for millions of
subscribers who want to rent DVDs by
mail and watch video on the Internet.
The company is separating the two
options so that subscribers who want
both will have to buy separate plans
totaling at least $16 per month. Netflix
Inc. had been bundling both options in
a single package, available for as low as
$10 per month.
Corn crop seen bigger
Corn supplies are projected to be
higher than expected this fall. A bigger
crop would ease concerns of a grain
shortage and could slow food inflation
later this year.
The U.S. Agriculture Department
says 880 million bushels of corn will be
left over when the harvest begins.
Thats an increase from the previous
estimate of 730 million acres. Farmers
planted the second-biggest corn crop
this year since World War II.
VW sets sales record
Europes largest automaker, Volkswa-
gen AG, said Tuesday it has set a first-
half sales record of more than 2.5 mil-
lion cars, helped by strong increases in
China.
Volkswagen said that its VW-brand
passenger cars unit sold 2.53 million
vehicles in the January-to-June period,
up 12 percent compared with the first
half of 2010. It also posted a year-on-
year increase of 10 percent for June to
438,500 vehicles.

CAMDEN, N.J. The Campbell
Soup Co. said Tuesday that next year it
plans to focus on bolstering its soups
and other products to reinvigorate the
brand and attract a new generation of
buyers a move that could mean higher
prices for consumers.
Denise Morrison, who takes over as
CEO on Aug. 1 when Douglas Conant
steps down after more than a decade,
outlined the new approach during a
meeting with analysts.
She said the company, which is
known for its red and
white cans, wants to
build up U.S. sales to
Hispanic consumers
and millennials, the
generation born after
1979. She said Camp-
bells main competi-
tion isnt other soup
makers, but is a growing range of other
simple make-at-home meals.
These consumers have no intrinsic
barrier tosoupas a food, Morrisonsaid
in a talk in which she acknowledged
some company missteps in recent
years. They love soup. But many
dont connect with our soup products.
Morrison said Campbell will focus
less onpushingthevolumeof sales of its
condensed soups something thats
been a struggle in the past two years. In
the first nine months of the companys
current fiscal year, U.S. soup sales are
down 5 percent.
Instead the company plans to launch
high-end soups, among other changes
that include broadening its range of
food choices. The company is rolling
out 27 new soups in the coming year
and changing the recipes for 46. The
company concedes that it could sell a
lower volume of soup in the coming
year because of the strategy.
Among the changes, Campbell plans
to bring back some higher-sodium
soups after several years of working to
reduce sodium, sometimes at the ex-
pense of taste at least in the view of
some of the most frequent buyers. Addi-
tionally, Campbell, which already has
expandedits V8juiceline, launchingen-
ergy drinks andsmoothies insome mar-
kets, plans tobroadenthose offerings. It
will also roll out Pepperidge FarmGold-
fish-shaped crustless bread next week
in an effort to capitalize on its high-per-
forming crackers.
In another shift, Campbell plans to
grow internationally by buying and
partnering with existing companies,
particularly in Asia and Latin America.
That means not trying to start up in a
new country from scratch, as it did in
2007inChina andRussia. The company
announced two weeks ago that it was
leaving the Russian market, but staying
in China plans it reaffirmed Tuesday.
New boss hopes to boost brand with
more simple make-at-home meals.

MEATY CONCERNS IN S. KOREA OVER FREE TRADE

S
outh Korean livestock farmers shout slogans during a rally Tuesday against the South Korean gov-
ernment signing a Free Trade Agreement with various countries, including the United States and
the European Union. The farmers were afraid that the agreement would devalue Korean beef because
of cheaper imported meat from the U.S. and EU. Placards in foreground read: Our country will survive
if our beef survives.
BRUSSELS The debt crisis
shook Europes core on Tuesday
as market fears grewover the sta-
bility of Spain and Italy, forcing a
rethink of the currency unions
strategy to restore trust in its fu-
ture.
Markets took a nosedive on
worries that the eurozones third
and fourth biggest economies
both too expensive to save with
Europes rescue funds may be-
come the crisis next victims.
On the one hand, investors are
concerned by the EUs determi-
nation to get banks to share the
burden of bailouts, even at the
cost of triggeringa Greekdefault.
On the other, they see in EU dis-
agreements over giving Greece
more aid the ominous signs of a
drop in commitment to the cur-
rency union.
The contagioncouldmarkthe
beginning of the end for the sin-
gle currency union in its current
form, Jonathan Loynes, econo-
mist at Capital Economics.
As so often before, the euro-
zone finance ministers were
pushed into action only when the
markets gave them no choice.
Italys government sped up ap-
proval of its austerity plan and
the EU opened the door for a
complete overhaul of the regions
bailout fund, which has so far fo-
cused on handing out rescue
loans to countries on the brink of
collapse in return for high inter-
est rates and painful austerity
measures.
We said we are ready to test,
whether, as part of the private
sector involvement, an expan-
sion of the toolkit is necessary
and appropriate such as pro-
longing (loan) maturities and
lowering interest rates, said
German Finance Minister Wolf-
gang Schaeuble. Everything can
help to improve debt sustainabil-
ity and defend the euro as a
whole.
Calmwill returntomarkets on-
ly if all the countries of the eu-
rozone assume their responsibil-
ity, in particular the most power-
ful countries, Spanish Prime
Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Za-
patero told reporters in Madrid.

TOKYO Snrio Co., the Ja-
panese Hello Kitty brand li-
censer, aims tospendas much
as $377 million to buy rights
toa character for thefirst time
tocut its reliance onthe white
cat with a red bow and no
mouth.
We want to diversify our
character portfolio instead of
spending time to boost recog-
nition of our existing charac-
ters in overseas markets, Ma-
naging Director Susumu
Emori, 62, said. He declined
to say whether the company
is in talks with any candi-
dates.
Sanrio, which ended a dec-
ade-long sales slump in 2010,
relies on Hello Kitty goods for
80 percent of overseas licens-
ing revenue.
Character-goods deals with
Wal-Mart, Inditexs Zara
brand and Austrian luxury
crystal maker Swarovski
helped Sanrio more than dou-
ble operating profit since
2009 and amass $265 million
in cash, the most in a decade.
Sanrio depends on Hello
Kittytoomuch, soitdbegood
toadda major character, said
Takashi Oka, a Tokyo-based
analyst at TIW Inc.
The company needs the
rights to a character thats al-
ready well established as a
brand, he said.
Rival Tomy Co., the Japa-
nese maker of Transformer
and Pokemon toys, bought
RC2 Corp., the maker of Tho-
mas the Tank Engine prod-
ucts, in April for $640 million.
Iconix Brand Group Inc.,
which owns the Candies and
London Fog fashion brands,
and the family of cartoonist
Charles Schulz paid $175 mil-
lion last year for the rights to
Charlie Brown and Snoopy.
Sanrios search for an al-
ready established character
compatible with Hello Kitty
may take some time, Oka of
TIW said.
Sanrio, founded by 83-year-
old President Shintaro Tsuji
in1960, h0as yet to use a char-
acter that wasnt developed
inside the company, spokes-
man Hideo Yamaguchi said.

Mark Jewell AP SOURCE: Lipper Data through June 30
Thats the lesson from the second quarter for stock mutu-
al fund investors. On April 1, the economic recovery ap-
peared to be on track. Amonth later, investors began see-
ing reports that showed a weakening economy. Stock funds
ended the April-June period down an average 0.4 percent,
according to fund tracker Lipper. That matched the drop in
the S&P 500.
Some of Lippers findings when it analyzed how stock
funds did during the second quarter:
FIRST-QUARTER WINNERS TAKE AHIT
Some of the first quarter's top funds fell to the back of
the pack. Funds that specialize in oil and mining stocks lost
an average 5.6 percent after rising 14 percent in the first
quarter. Those stocks tend to move with the economy. Their
profits are linked to demand for commodities.
DEFENSIVE FUNDS WIN
Defensive funds invest in stocks that do well in a
falling market. They were some of the second quarters
best performers. For example, funds that invest in U.S.
health care and biotech stocks rose an average 6.7
percent.
REAL ESTATE REBOUNDS
Funds that invest in real estate investment trusts rose
3.5 percent on average. REIT funds have done well be-
cause their performance is tied to commercial real estate,
which is doing better than the residential market.
BIG BEATS SMALL
Funds that invest in large companies lost an average 0.2
percent. Funds that focus on small companies lost an aver-
age 1.2 percent.
Lipper analyst Tom Roseen predicts second-quarter
earnings will be strong and lift stocks. He also believes the
economy will soon return to a higher growth rate. Still,
stocks may remain volatile Greece still has debt prob-
lems and Congress must raise the government's borrowing
limit by Aug. 2 to stop the U.S. from defaulting on its debt.

The Chinese solar wafer manufac-
turer cut its second quarter fore-
casts for revenue, profit margin and
shipments.
The shoe maker maintained its
earnings forecast for the year. The
predicted range mostly fell below
Wall Street expectations.
The aluminum producers quarterly
profit grew thanks to higher sales
and prices, but costs for raw materi-
als are rising.
More worries about Europes debt problems
knocked stocks down Tuesday. Moodys down-
graded Irelands bond rating to junk status, and in-
vestors are also worried about Italy. That over-
shadowed hopes that the Federal Reserve might
consider more economic stimulus. The Dow Jones
industrial average fell 58.88, or 0.5 percent, to
12,446.88. The S&P 500 fell 5.85, or 0.4 percent,
to 1,313.64. The Nasdaq fell 20.71, or 0.7 percent,
to 2,781.91.

Good morning!
Expect a mix of
clouds and sun
today. A light
pop-up shower
or two could be
around the area
with the arrival
of a cold front.
However, the
good news is
temperatures
will be almost 10
degrees lower
today than what
we've seen the
past few days! A
cooler and less
humid night is
also in store for
tonight, which
presents us with
great sleeping
weather. The
cooler, dry air
behind the cold
front will stick
around for two
more days, mak-
ing it feel nice
Thursday and
Friday. Don't get
too used to the
comfortable
humidity,
because it'll be
on the increase
into the week-
end.
- Kurt Aaron
NATIONAL FORECAST: Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be likely along a frontal boundary
from the Southeast, through the northern and central Plains and into the northern Rockies. A moist
ow of air from the south will result in a few thunderstorms from New Mexico into the central
Rockies as well.

SHRIMP SERVED
scampi style is a
wonderful summer
dish, and its a
great way to give
new life to cooked
shrimp that might
be left over from
shrimp cocktail.
Thats what I did the other day,
when I had some leftover shrimp at
Oyster restaurant. (You can watch a
video of the actual cooking demon-
stration at www.timesleader.com or
on YouTube.)
SHRIMP SCAMPI
3 tablespoons olive oi1
3 cloves garlic, chopped
Pinch salt
Pepper to taste
1
4 cup white wine
1 cup chicken broth or stock
Fresh lemon juice
About a dozen pieces cooked shrimp
2 servings cooked pasta
Fresh basil leaves
Heat olive oil in a pan and saut the
garlic. Add salt and pepper and deglaze
the pan with wine. Add the chicken
broth or stock as well as a dash of
lemon juice. Add the cooked shrimp to
the mix and heat.
Remove shrimp from the pan and
add two portions of your pasta of
choice to the pan. Stir it and allow the
pasta to absorb the liquid that remains
in the pan.
Place pasta in serving bowl, top with
shrimp and some fresh basil.

into scampi

Restaurant in downtown Wilkes-Barre. If
you would like to contribute a recipe to

er.com or call 829-7283.
DON CAREY/THE TIMES LEADER
Executive Chef Shawn Jackson
from Oyster restaurant prepared
this shrimp scampi.
This weeks flavor-packed
dish comes from Geisinger
Health System. The tender
pork medallions with rich
onion sauce are a mouth-wa-
tering meal that is low in fat
and low in carbohydrates, with
fewer than five grams of total
carbs per serving.
TENDER
PORK MEDALLIONS
WITH RICH ONION SAUCE
Servings: 4
Total serving size: 2 slices
Ingredients:
1 pound pork tenderloin, cut
into 8 slices, pounded to 1/8-
inch thickness
1 teaspoon salt-free grilling
seasoning blend
3 teaspoons canola oil,
divided
1 cup thinly sliced onions
2 medium garlic cloves,
minced
3/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons white whole-
wheat flour (King Arthur
brand is available locally)
1/2 cup water
2 teaspoons low-sodium
beef bouillon granules
Preparation
Sprinkle both sides of the
pork with seasoning blend.
Heat 1 teaspoon canola oil
in a large nonstick skillet over
medium-high heat and tilt
skillet to coat bottom. Add
half of pork slices and cook 2
minutes, then turn and cook 1
minute or until juices run
clear. Set aside on a plate.
Repeat with 1 teaspoon canola
oil and remaining pork and
place on the plate.
Heat remaining 1 teaspoon
canola oil, tilt skillet to coat,
and add onions. Reduce heat
to medium and cook for 3
minutes or until onions are
translucent. Stir in garlic.
Remove skillet from heat and
stir in remaining ingredients
until well blended.
Return to heat and add
pork and any accumulated
juices. Turn pieces over sever-
al times to coat with onion
mixture, reduce to medium-
low heat, cover tightly, and
simmer 10 minutes or until
pork is very tender and juices
run clear.
Flavorful tips: To thinly
pound pork, place an 18-inch
sheet of plastic wrap on the
counter and lay pork on top.
Top with a sheet of plastic
wrap. Use a meat pounder,
mallet or the side of a can to
pound the pork to 1/8 inch or
more. Thinness is the key to
tenderness.
Pairs nicely with portion-
controlled mashed potatoes
and a fresh garden vegetable
such as zucchini, broccoli,
carrots, cucumber salad and
fresh green salad.

First-time purchasers of
Razzs Shagbark Hickory Syrup
might not be sure what to do
with it (besides pile it on pan-
cakes and waffles), so the Radz-
wichs provide a booklet of reci-
pes with each purchase.
This lemon buttered chicken,
originally taken from The Gour-
met Toolbox Recipe Collection
and tweaked by the Radzwichs,
is simple and a customer favor-
ite.
LEMON BUTTERED
CHICKEN
4 boneless skinless chicken
breasts
3 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon water
3 tablespoons Shagbark hickory
syrup
Juice of one fresh lemon
1 1/2 teaspoons chicken bouillon
Chopped parsley
Lemon slices
TO PREPARE:
Pound chicken lightly to flatten.
Coat with flour and shake to re-
move excess.
In large frying pan, melt butter.
Add chicken breasts and saut
until golden brown on both sides.
Combine water, syrup, lemon
juice and chicken bouillon in small
bowl and stir until dissolved. Pour
over chicken in pan and bring to a
boil over medium-high heat. Re-
duce heat, cover and simmer five
minutes or until chicken is no
longer pink in center. Remove
chicken from pan. Keep warm.

beaten (about 1/2 egg white)
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon
cornstarch, divided
2 tablespoon peanut or vegeta-
ble oil, divided
1/3 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon Shaoxing rice wine
or dry sherry
1/8 teaspoon ground white pep-
per
3 slices ginger, smashed
3 scallions, halved lengthwise
and cut into 2-inch sections
1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
Rinse the shrimp and sprinkle 1
teaspoon of the salt over the
shrimp, then stir the shrimp in a
vigorous circular motion for about 1
minute.
Rinse the shrimp under cold
water, then shake out the excess.
Sprinkle 1 more teaspoon of salt
over the shrimp and repeat the
stirring and rinsing process. After
the shrimp have been thoroughly
rinsed, set on several sheets of
paper towels. Pat the shrimp dry.
In a medium bowl combine the
shrimp, egg white and 1 tablespoon
of the cornstarch. Stir until the
cornstarch is totally dissolved and
no clumps are visible. Put the
shrimp mixture uncovered in the
refrigerator for 1 hour.
In a 3-quart saucepan over high
heat bring 1 1/2 quarts water to a
boil. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil to
the boiling water. Reduce the heat
to low. When the water is barely
simmering, carefully add the
shrimp, gently stirring them so
they do not clump. Cook for 1 min-
ute or until the shrimp just turn
pink but are not cooked through.
Carefully drain the shrimp.
In a small bowl combine the
broth, rice wine, the remaining 1/2
teaspoon cornstarch and the pep-
per. Set aside.
Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok
or 12-inch skillet over high until a
bead of water vaporizes within 1 to
2 seconds of contact. Swirl in the
remaining 1 tablespoon of oil, add
the ginger and scallions. Stir-fry
for 10 seconds, or until the ginger
and scallions are fragrant.
Add the shrimp and peas, then
sprinkle on the remaining 1/4 tea-
spoon of salt. Stir the broth mix-
ture to recombine, then swirl it into
the wok. Stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes,
or until the shrimp are just cooked
and the sauce just clings to the
shrimp.
