Wyoming ceremony mixes doses of humor and history

Mark Guydish mguydish@timesleader.com WYOMING It was a day of heat and humor, of historys hidden tidbits and lessons on how they can help mold the future. Serving as chairman of the 135th annual commemorative service of the Battle and Massacre of Wyoming, Kingston Mayor James Haggerty on Thursday brought his usual wit. In introducing the Wyoming Commemorative Association president, Haggerty riffed on Frank Conynghams 24 years in the post. I asked why he stayed on so long, Haggerty said. He said he thought he was eligible for a pension after 25 years. Conyngham, well known for injecting his own quips into his speeches, thanked many who helped make the ceremony possible, noted this month marked the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg, and said he felt a few comments were appropriate regarding that pivotal Civil War event. Four score and seven years ago, he said, beginning Abraham Lincolns famous Gettysburg Address and evoking laughs. But Conyngham had had his joke with those six iconic words, waved and said, Thanks for coming. As old as the commemorative event is, the battle it marks occurred 100 years before the rst such service, on July 3, 1778, when patriot forces and British Loyalists and their Iroquois allies clashed. About 340 patriots were killed and See WYOMING | 3A
Googles new project is a real inside job

Street View cameras will be in our area to capture virtual images of business interiors
Roger duPuis rdupuis@civitasmedia.com Googles street view photographers are coming back into Northeast Pennsylvania literally. Web surfers accustomed to cruising the streets of cities worldwide via Google Maps panoramic images will soon be able to click open some front doors, touring the interiors of participating businesses under Googles new virtual tour feature. Photo crews will be in the Wilkes-Barre and Scranton areas between July 29 and Aug. 2 to create 360-degree virtual tours inside businesses that register for the program, said Ithaca, N.Y.-based Google photography coordinator Jim Hilker. There are, however, two key requirements: interested businesses must contact Google, Hilker said company policy prevents photographers from soliciting businesses and businesses must pay a small one-time fee. Google policy also prevents Hilker from disclosing the fee, he said, but he added that once it is paid, the images will be hosted permanently on Google without charge. Business owners must register at www.seeinsidepa.com. Hilkers team of four expects initially to sign up 20 businesses each in Luzerne and Lackawanna counties, he said. Additional photography sessions could be added later this summer if demand warrants, Hilker said. We have to cover a lot of different cities throughout the summer, said Hilker, whose territory includes Pennsylvania, New York and parts of New England. High-tech product line See GOOGLE | 10A

Top Brotherhood figures seized in Egypt sweep

Questions remain on how to include fundamentalist group in government
Lee Keath and sarah el deeb
the Associated Press
CAIRO Egypts military moved swiftly Thursday against senior figures of the Muslim Brotherhood, targeting the backbone of support for ousted president Mohammed Morsi. In the most dramatic step, authorities arrested the groups revered leader from a seaside villa and flew him by helicopter to detention in the capital. With a top judge newly sworn in as interim president to replace Morsi, the crackdown poses an
immediate test to the new armybacked leaderships promises to guide Egypt to democracy: The question of how to include the 83-year-old fundamentalist group. That question has long been at the heart of democracy efforts in Egypt. Hosni Mubarak and previous authoritarian regimes banned the group, raising cries even from pro-reform Brotherhood critics that it must be allowed to participate if Egypt was to be free. After Mubaraks fall, the newly legalized group vaulted to power in elections, with its veteran member Morsi becoming the countrys first
freely elected president. Now the group is reeling under a huge backlash from a public that says the Brotherhood and its Islamist allies abused their electoral mandate. The military forced Morsi out Wednesday after millions of Egyptians nationwide turned out in four days of protests demanding he be removed. Furious over what it calls a military coup against democracy, the Brotherhood vowed Thursday it will not work with the new leadership. It and harder-line Islamist allies called for a wave of protests today, dubbing it the Friday of Rage, vowing to escalate if the military does not back down. There are widespread fears of Islamist violence in retaliation for AP Photo Morsis ouster, and already some egypts chief justice Adly Mansour, center, is applauded by by chiefs of the constitutional court See EGYPT | 10A Constitutional Court was sworn in after the military ousted the Islamist President Mohammed Morsi.

WILKES-BARRE A Nanticoke woman charged with taking $16,000 from Luzerne County Community College while working there as a secretary pleaded guilty Wednesday in Luzerne County Court. Janet M. Grifth, 52, of Center Street, pleaded guilty before Judge David Lupas to a felony charge of theft by failure to make required disposition of funds.
Grifth faces a maximum of seven years in prison when she is sentenced on Sept. 3. Grifth will be required to pay a $5,000 deductible to LCCC and $11,809 to an insurance company at the time of her sentencing. After an investigation by Nanticoke police and the Luzerne County District Attorneys Ofce, investigators said Grifth took about $16,000 while working as a secretary at the schools Public Safety Training Institute. According to the crimi-
nal complaint, Nanticoke Detective Capt. William Shultz spoke on Feb. 22 with the colleges director of security, Bill Barrett, who said an accounting rm had completed an annual 2011 audit for the training institute and that discrepancies were uncovered regarding missing funds. The institute, which opened in 2008, trains police ofcers, reghters, paramedics, EMTs and truck drivers in a variety of courses. An accountant reported to the college that the miss-
ing money came from student tuition payments that had been made in cash. On March 9, Luzerne County Detective Lt. Gary Capitano became involved in the investigation and spoke with college President Thomas Leary, who said Grifth was responsible for collecting fees for many courses and for transporting the payments to the nance ofce every day. According to the college, Grifth was hired as a custodian in August 2007 and moved into the secretary position in
December 2008. In October 2011, Grifth was moved back to the custodian position before she was placed on unpaid suspension in March 2012. She was formally terminated from employment when she was arraigned on charges in November. Her annual salary had been $23,585. She is represented by attorney Matthew Kelly. Assistant District Attorney Shannon Crake is prosecuting the case.

FORTY FORT Disney apparently got wind of plans to have a free showing of the childrens ick Monsters, Inc., in Forty Fort Park Wednesday, and the entertainment giant put the kibosh on the plan. Not to worry. The group organizing the event pulled Madagascar 3 off the shelf and managed to draw about 325 people. Well, pulled off the shelf may be a bit glib. Andy Tuzinski, one of the volunteers who organized the event, said the group had to come up with $400 on short notice to satisfy Disney, and that the money came out of the volunteers pockets. But he preferred on Thursday to downplay the glitch and stress the success. It was wonderful, Tuzinski, noting his 7-year-old son Jack had a blast doling out popcorn before sitting down to watch the movie projected onto a portable screen held up with a homemade PVC pipe frame.
Tuzinski said the recently created Families for Forty Fort Park organization was notied unexpectedly by a Disney attorney that there was a blackout on showing Monsters, Inc. a 2002 Disney Pixar hit about monsters who scare children to generate power and then get a scare themselves when a child ends up in Monstropolis. A movie that serves as a sort of prequel, Monster University, is currently in theaters. The big turnout bodes well for plans to make the outdoor movie screening a monthly event, said Tuzinski, who said the group didnt want to make a big deal out of the snag. The group also is planning a Dip and Dance at the pool July 12, and is looking for ways to reintroduce ice skating in winter. We want it to be like we remember it when we were kids, Tuzinski said, adding that they seemed to succeed Wednesday, when an older woman praised them and said it reminder her of the park in her own childhood. Thats why were doing this, he said.

From page 1A ceremony, for example, were held in Wright Township; the event was expected to include an appearance by Katie McGinty, the Democratic candidate for governor of Pennsylvania. The Mynsavage family, of Wilkes-Barre, attends the Independence Day celebration at Kirby Park every year. My favorite part is the rides, said 11-year-old Amanda Mynsavage, while enjoying the day with her mother, Dennice. This year, Amanda, who was nally tall enough to ride the Sizzler, the Tornado and the Tempest, said she hoped to get on all of them. Well see, her mother said. This whole thing is awesome. We love the reworks. Aesha Abdulazim, 6, of Wilkes-Barre, rode a pony for the rst time Thursday, as she waved to her mother and younger brother. Micah McDonald, 7, of Plains Township, took a spin on the Chinese swings, dramatically falling to the ground when exiting the ride. It was ok, Micah shrugged. Khadijah Murphy-Epps, 17, MJ Epps, 14, and Alexis Footman, 16, all of Kingston, sat on a hill watching the days activities, anticipating the evenings reworks display. Its dead now, Murphy-Epps said around 5:30 p.m., who noted it was her second year at the Kirby Park event, and that next year shell know to come later. But, that wasnt the case for Christopher Snarski and Amanda Lefort, of Wilkes-Barre. We came early to get a good parking spot, Lefort said. This years reworks display was organized by Advanced Pyrotechnics. The Hourigan, Kluger & Quinn law rm had representatives on hand at the park as part of its HKQ Kids project, handing out free bike helmets for its sixth year. Safety is our rst concern and cost savings is our second, HKQ Kids project manager Sue Greeneld said. Some families have ve kids, and ve helmets can equal the cost of a grocery list. So, were glad we can help. During the rst three hours of distributing helmets, a line wrapped around Kirby Park and volunteers worked non-stop, Greeneld said. The crowd started to diminish in the late afternoon, she said, but picked up when onlookers began to gather for the reworks. Every year, HKQ Kids hands out 1,500 helmets to children ages 12 and under. All helmets meet U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission standards, Greeneld said. Samara and Janessa Frazier, 7 and 6, picked out their free helmets while at the park with their mother, Megan Campbell. Samara said she and her sister would test their new helmets just as soon as the reworks ended. The audience at Kirby Park enjoyed a performace by Katy Williams during this years pre-reworks philharmonic performance. Williams is a soloist who has performed with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and Pittsburgh Opera. The performance also featured guest violinist Jenny Oaks Baker. Mountain Tops celebration began with a parade along state route 309 and included a ceremony at the Wright Township Municipal Building. A ag-raising and wreath-laying ceremony were held at the Veterans Memorial, and in true patriotic form, Col. Roger Schwartz and Michael Stair explained the Declaration of Independence. If you missed an opportunity to view reworks Thursday, take heart. Wright Township will hold its annual reworks display at 6:30 p.m. today at the townships municipal park.

Wyoming
From page 1A several survivors were tortured in the aftermath. It became known as the Wyoming Massacre, and Thursdays service was held near an obelisk monument built to commemorate the event. The ceremony included a volley red from muzzleloaders by the 24th Connecticut Militia, a group of meticulous Revolutionary War re-enactors and the annual presentation of oral tributes by descendants and others connected to the battle. The ceremony culminated in a speech by John Frantz, history professor emeritus at Penn State University. Acknowledging that many facets of the battle and the monument have been covered by past keynote speakers, Frantz opted to discuss Benjamin Franklins rather unwelcoming attitude about non-English immigrants to Pennsylvania, though he kept with the comedy vein by cracking a few jokes at the start. I always check the mike before I start to speak. I remember when a clergyman was conducting a service, and he thought the mike wasnt working, so he leaned over to a choir member and said, Theres something wrong with this mike. Well, the congregation responded as it always did at that point of the service and said, And also with you. Frantz gave a quick recap of Franklins rise to prominence and success from his birth in Boston in 1706 and his decision to run away from home at 17 and end up in Philadelphia. Within six years he was running a printing press that lead to the publication of the Pennsylvania Gazette newspaper and, a few years later, Poor Richards Almanac. Franklin wrote essays in the almanac and was a little ahead of his time complaining about the double-standard of morality, Frantz noted, including prominent people condemning a woman for her illegitimate children even as they had helped father them. By age 42, Franklin had been so successful in business he could retire and devote himself to public service and science, Frantz said, creating the lightning rod in the latter pursuit, and getting elected to Philadelphia City Council and the state Legislature in the former. Traveling the world, Franklin developed a clear vision of what he thought Pennsylvania should become, and that vision did not include a rapid growth of non-English immigration, particularly those from areas of what would be Germany. Noting that included people who were in the Battle of Wyoming, Frantz said Franklin felt they were stubborn in sticking to their own language, unattractive and a potential ally of the French in the French and Indian war. He should have known his history, Frantz said. If Franklin had known their history of suffering at the hands of the French in Europe, he would not have had to worry about the Germans allying with the French. He also should have known they needed to be patient with the immigrants, Frantz said. It was natural that they congregated in their own communities and retained their own customs. Many went on to adapt very successfully. It is essential we understand our past, said Frantz. It wont provide a road map to the future, but it will give us perspective on our past. We need to know where weve been in order to know where we are, and possibly even where were going. We need to be patient with people who are different, because they will catch on to the ways of their new country, he added, noting many of the ancestors being commemorated came from families that did not speak the language spoken by the crowd. We should be grateful to our Founding Father Benjamin Franklin, for providing us with these lessons.

Soar plane aims to lift profile of clean tech

Seth Borenstein WASHINGTON In noisy, energetic New York City, the pilots of a spindly plane that looks more toy than jet hope to grab attention in a surprising way: By being silent and consuming little energy. This revolutionary solarpowered plane is about to end a slow and symbolic journey across America by quietly buzzing the Statue of Liberty and landing in a city whose buildings often obscure the power-giving sun. The planes top speed of 45 mph is so pokey, it would earn honks on the New Jersey Turnpike. The plane is called Solar Impulse. And it leaves from Washington on a commuter-like hop planned for Saturday, depending on the weather. It will take hours for the journey and offers none of the most basic comforts of ying. But thats OK. The aircrafts creators say its purpose really has little to do with ying. They view themselves as green pioneers promoting lighter materials, solar-powered batteries and conservation as sexy and adventurous. Theirs is the high-ying equivalent of the Tesla electric sports car. They want people to feel a thrill while saving the planet. Think Charles Lindbergh meets Rachel Carson. Although its promoted as solar-powered, what really pushes the envelope with this plane is its miserly energy efciency, said Solar Impulse CEO Andre Borschberg.

Airport ofcials say at least six U.S. airlines have canceled more than 40 ights into and out of Mexico City and Toluca airports after the Popocatepetl volcano spewed out ash, steam and glowing rocks. Mexico City airport spokesman Jorge Gomez says U.S. Airways, Delta, United, American and Alaska Airlines canceled 47 ights as a precaution. But he says the airport otherwise continues to operate normally and that no ash has reached the area. At nearby Toluca airport, Spirit Airlines canceled ights from Dallas and Fort Lauderdale. Authorities registered several tremors Tuesday at the 17,886-foot volcano, which has been spraying a fountain of hot rock and ash for the last 24 hours.

GOP has tough choices on Voting Rights Act

Priebus began that effort well before the courts decision by promising, among other initiatives, to hire non-white party activists to engage directly with black and Latino voters. Yet state and national Republicans reacted to the Voting Rights Act decision with a urry of activity and comments that might not t neatly into the national partys vision. Congressional leaders must decide whether to try to rewrite the provision the court struck, but its not clear how such an effort would fare in the Democratic-led Senate and the GOP-controlled House. And at the state level, elected Republicans are enacting tighter voting restrictions that Democrats blast as harmful to their traditional base of supporters and groups the Republicans say they want to attract. States including North Carolina and Virginia provide apt examples of the potential fallout. An inux of nonwhites have turned those Republican strongholds into battlegrounds in the last two presidential elections, and minority voters helped President Barack Obama win both states in 2008 and Virginia again in 2012. Nationally, Republican Mitt Romney lost among AfricanAmericans by about 85 percentage points and Latinos by about 44 percentage points, margins that virtually ensure a Democratic victory. Yet presidential math doesnt necessarily motivate Republicans who control statehouses and congressional districts in states most affected by the Voting Rights Act.
Prescott town leaders honoring the deaths of 19 hometown reghters are retooling the over-the-top celebration that has long made this Old West town the place to be on Independence Day. One thing is for certain: There will still be reworks. The booming bursts might remind some of the wildre, still burning, that claimed all but one of the Granite Mountain Hotshot crew on Sunday, but the hilltop community of 40,000 was determined to mourn its dead without compromising its traditions. The mantra for days has been, celebration, not grief. Festivities were expected to last at least 10 hours and include an all-day carnival, live music and a nighttime dance at the towns outdoor rodeo.

PRESCOTT, ARIz.
ATLANTA When the U.S. Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights act last week, it handed Republicans tough questions with no easy answers over how, and where, to attract voters even GOP leaders say the party needs to stay nationally competitive. The decision caught Republicans between newfound state autonomy that conservatives covet and the laws popularity among minority, young and poor voters who tend to align with Democrats. Its those voters that Republicans are eyeing to expand and invigorate the GOPs core of older, white Americans. National GOP Chairman Reince
Associated Press
Core GOP supporters in the region react favorably to voter identification laws and broad-based critiques of federal authority. Chris LaCivita, a Republican consultant in Virginia, offered one potential comfort for Republicans: The relationship between Democrats and whites. Republicans need more minority votes in presidential years, but Democrats need more white Southerners if they want to regain control of Congress or many statehouses. Democrats might want to think long and hard about making a racially based argument, LaCivita said, considering voters they need dont like having to pay for the sins of their fathers.
American in N. Korean prison appeals for release

Kenneth Bae tells Tokyo-based news outlet he hoped to be out of prison on July 4.
Eric Talmadge TOKYO An American imprisoned in North Korea has told a pro-Pyongyang media outlet that he wants the U.S. to try harder to help him gain amnesty from a sentence of 15 years of hard labor for alleged crimes against the government. In what appears to be his rst media interview since his November arrest, Kenneth Bae told the Tokyo-based Choson Sinbo in a story published Wednesday that he had hoped to be out by Thursday. That was not only Independence Day, but his fathers 70th birthday. He said he still hopes the U.S. government will help him get released quickly.
Associated Press
He was sent in May to what the North calls a special prison, and Pyongyangs decision to allow the interview might have been an attempt to show that he is not being treated harshly. But an analyst said Pyongyang is also trying to use Bae as a bargaining chip to start bilateral talks with the U.S. Bae, 44, of Lynnwood, Washington, was arrested in the northeastern North Korean region of Rason and was interviewed last week at a North Korean prison where he is serving out his sentence. An American of Korean descent, Bae entered the special economic zone as a tour operator but was convicted in late April of plotting to commit hostile acts against the North Korean government. Photos and video of Bae published this week by Choson Sinbo show him with his head shaven and wearing gray overalls bearing the number 103.
Choson Sinbo, which caters to Japans proPyongyang North Korean community, provided an unusual look at Baes life inside his special education center cell. It is 12 square meters and has a wash basin, a desk and a television. Bae said he wakes up at 6 every morning. He then does farm work, planting seeds and weeding, until his labor ends at 6 p.m. He gets Sundays and holidays off, he told the paper during a June 26 interview. Many in the U.S. see Baes imprisonment as bait with which North Korea hopes to win diplomatic concessions from Washington. North Korea remains locked in a standoff with the U.S. and its allies for continuing to develop nuclear weapons despite U.N. sanctions. It launched a long-range rocket in December and conducted a nuclear test in February.

Dallas Twp. approves equipment purchase

The township will buy Bobcat Skid Steer for $43,187 through a state program

Plymouth Twp. residents bothered by road debris

Susan Bettinger
DALLAS TWP. Township supervisors decided Tuesday night to move forward with plans to purchase a 2012 Bobcat Skid Steer for $43,187 through the state COSTARS program. The vehicle has a universal front end for different attachments, including an asphalt grinder, which will be rented on a monthly basis. The cost of the vehicle falls within the budget of $50,000 that was allotted
for the purchase. COSTARS is a cooperative purchasing program administered by the state Department of General Services Bureau of Procurement. In other matters, engineer Tom Doughton and the supervisors discussed the footbridge project near the Kunkle Fire Station. Doughton said the state Department of Environmental Protection permit for the project has been submitted. Doughton added that he thinks the bridge will cost less than the $40,000 bud-
geted for it. The bridge will likely be 5 or 6 feet wide, accessible for two-way trafc, as well as for disabled citizens scooters. There was concern that the bridge not be excessively wide, as residents might then use the bridge for quads and ATVs. Back Mountain Regional representative Chief Harry Vivian discussed the Smart911 service. The Luzerne County service is free and secure. Residents create a home prole in which they can enter vital medical information on
the Smart911.com website. The information will be immediately displayed to emergency responders in cases in which the caller is unable to respond to questions regarding medications and medical conditions. The public hearing on a proposed ordinance to amend the townships Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance has been re-scheduled for July 16 at 6:30 p.m., followed by the Board of Supervisors meeting at 7 p.m.
Trooper offer safety tips to Bear Creek Twp. residents

Janine Ungvarsky
BEAR CREEK TWP. A state trooper visited the township board of supervisors meeting Monday, offering residents tips on protecting their home from burglaries, robberies and home invasions. Trooper Tom Kelly from Troop P in Wyoming explained the types of calls state police have answered in the township, sharing information on how to stay safe and addressing residents concerns about possible drug activity. State police responded to 860 calls between January 2012 and June 2013, said Kelly, including 75 false burglar alarms and more than 100 auto accident calls of varying severity. Noting that calls for burglaries had increased from 31 in 2011 to 38 in 2012, Kelly said residents can take steps to make their homes less attractive targets for thieves. Dont put pictures on Facebook while you are on vacation and brag about being on
vacation; and dont put a message on your answering machine that says youre on vacation, Kelly said. Thieves check these things and its easy enough to nd out where you live. Other tips included having someone visit the home at various times while the occupants are away or using timers on lights to give the appearance someone is home, trimming bushes that provide cover near the home and being leery of any strangers who come to the door asking for directions. In some cases, said Kelly, these strangers are would-be thieves simply checking to see if someone is home before they break in. Kelly also addressed the concerns of more than a dozen residents of one section of the township who are concerned about possible drug activity in the neighborhood. Kelly advised the residents to contact the state police corporal in charge of the vice squad and provide information such as descriptions of vehicles and license plates. He also urged patience, noting that while it might seem that
police arent doing anything about reported drug activity, they could be working in the background to build a case. In other business, the board reported that paving work almost has been completed on Weiss Road, with only some shoulder work remaining. Paving work on Laurelbrook Road is awaiting a pre-construction meeting that should happen this week, with road work to begin shortly after that. The board also noted that permanent speed bumps have been installed on Golf Course Road, and supervisors heard from a resident who said that the speed bumps are forcing trafc to stop at the stop signs and improving conditions at what was a dangerous intersection. Solicitor Bill Vinsko also reported that, barring any opposition at a hearing at the end of this month, the township soon should be able to acquire the Forest Park Playground, which has fallen into disrepair and will be maintained as park space.
PLYMOUTH TWP. Several residents in the Avondale Hill Road area addressed township supervisors Monday night, saying that since the completion of the blacktop on the road, debris, stones and water have been settling on their properties after the rain storms. S u p e r v i s o r Chairwoman Gale Conrad assured the residents the township will do everything that it can to promptly correct the situation. Conrad added that Supervisor Joseph Yudichak was on Avondale Hill Road last Friday to examine the situation. Yudichak plans to return to the area this week to further investigate. In other matters, a resident asked if the township will once again have
a police force. Conrad responded it is not in the townships plans, and that it would cost about $300,000 per year to maintain a police force. The money would have to come directly from the taxpayers, she said. The township is grateful to the state police, who respond to calls in the area, she added. Conrad also announced that the round-three buyout applications have been submitted and the appraisals have been done. Construction on Terrace Road has been delayed. The contractors are waiting on needed products. Also, some of Verizons lines need to be redirected. The construction is expected to begin in September.

July 3, 2013 John A. Cieczko, 67, of Plymouth, died Wednesday in WilkesBarre General Hospital with his family by his side.

DORRANCE TWP. The board of supervisors acted Monday to retain attorney Don Karpowich of Drums as the new township solicitor, succeeding attorney James Schneider of Hazleton. The vote on a motion to terminate Schneider was 2-to-1, with supervisors Gary Zane and Bill Wengrzynek voting in favor of the motion and Royce Engler voting no. Engler declined to comment about his decision. When pressed by township resident Joseph Chalawick, Engler still refused to offer an explanation. Wengrzynek, however, said it was a financial issue. He said Schneider had been retained at the rate of $125 per hour, whereas Karpowichs fee is $85 per hour. Karpowich was also recently hired to serve the townships planning
commission. Schneider has been associated with the township for several years and, most recently, presided during a succession of public hearings connected to the recently approved Pennsy Supply Inc. quarry relocation and expansion project on Small Mountain Road. Separately, Alan Snelsen, zoning and codes officer, announced that the planning commission will undertake a review of its comprehensive plan. Before acting, Snelsen said a questionnaire will be used to solicit public input. Forms will be available at the township building as well as at Andys Market and J&L Market, he said. The deadline for responses is Aug. 15. In other matters: Keith Hazlak of Stairville Road was told by Snelsen and Karpowich that they have been working for a month behind the scenes
to resolve issues Hazlak has with a neighboring trucking company. Hazlak has been asking for action by the supervisors, but he was told the case is in the hands of the zoning officials and their solicitor. The supervisors enacted an ordinance amending the townships pension plan, which is administered by the Pennsylvania Municipal Retirement System. It was announced the next public meeting is scheduled for Aug. 5.

Steven Earl Allabaugh, 21, of West State Street, pleaded guilty to charges of unlawful contact with a minor, incest and statutory sexual assault stemming from a January incident. County Judge David Lupas said Allabaugh will be sentenced on Sept. 27 and will be required to register his address under Megans Law for his entire life. Allabaugh also will be evaluated by the state Sexual Offenders Assessment Board and ordered to participate in a sexual offender treatment. According to court papers, police were notied on Jan. 30 of an incident involving Allabaugh and a girl. The girl later told police that she and Allabaugh had sexual intercourse earlier in the month. Allabaugh admitted to the act, saying it happened on at least three different occasions. WILKES-BARRE The mother of a man facing a homicide charge in connection with the September shooting death of one man and injury of another sent a letter to a county judge this week asking that her sons attorneys be taken off his case. Catherine Arnold, of Plymouth, sent the letter to Judge Lesa Gelb, citing displeasure she had with her sons attorneys, William Ruzzo and John Donovan, and requesting private attorneys be allowed to represent her son, William Allabaugh. Allabaugh, 25, of East Main Street, Plymouth, is charged in the shooting death of Scott Luzetsky, 39, and the critical injuring of Stephen Hollman, 29, at Bonnies Bar in Plymouth on Sept. 9. He is scheduled to stand trial on July 15. A pretrial hearing is scheduled next week. In her letter, Arnold says the attorneys have not notified her or her son of hearing dates; have not obtained medical records; and a conflict of interest exists in the defense Allabaugh wants to present.

WILKES-BARRE City police arrested a man Saturday after a woman claimed he raped her. Kyle Loftus, 21, of Scott Street, Wilkes-Barre, was arraigned by District Judge Donald Whittaker in Nanticoke on charges of rape, indecent assault, simple assault, unlawful restraint and harassment. He was jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $100,000 bail. According to the criminal complaint: A woman told police she went to Loftus apartment to visit him Friday night, waking him up. Loftus became angry and allegedly
molested the woman. The woman claimed she was forced to have sex with Loftus because she feared for her safety. She kept telling Loftus no, but was unable to leave because Loftus had thrown her car keys, the complaint states. Police said the woman reported she gave Loftus a ride to a bar and he instructed her to wait for him outside his apartment. When he returned, she claimed, Loftus was intoxicated and wanted to have sex again, according to the complaint. Police said the woman was treated at Wilkes-Barre General Hospital. DORRANCE TWP. Someone entered the rectory of St. Marys Church
between 7:15 p.m. Friday and 11:30 a.m. Saturday and stole money and other items, state police in Hazleton said.

She was jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $75,000 bail set by District Judge Donald Whittaker in Nanticoke.
SHICKSHINNY So far, $318,000 in state grant money has been expended on the Crary Park project, but another $200,000 is needed, said Mayor Beverly Moore. Borough council voted 4-1 Tuesday night to obtain a tax anticipation note in this amount from Landmark Bank of Pittston in order to comply with provisions for additional grant money set by the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. DCNR is requiring Shickshinny to rst pay all costs and then submit for reimbursement of the $200,000. Wendy Kramer, borough treasurer, said the loan was obtained at 2.99 percent interest, but if the borough repays by Oct. 31, the cost will be only $1,096. If, however, the loan spans to Dec. 31, the cost will be more than $2,000. Councilman Barry Noss said he cast the lone no vote because this project wasnt supposed to cost the taxpayers anything, but here they are about to get hit with a $2,000 bill. In her report, Moore also mentioned the boat launch is currently under water in more ways than one, and when asked to elaborate, Moore said she was referring to the concrete ramp area being inundated by the rising Susquehanna River. A recent John Mattie, 47, same series of rainstorms had swollen the river address, was charged with a to near-ood levels. If any damage has single count of endangering the welfare of a child.

occurred, it wont be known until the water recedes. Overall, however, the Crary project has been instrumental in having Shickshinny designated as a River Town Destination as well as improving the boroughs business atmosphere and contributing to the revitalization of the riverfront area, Moore said. In addition to DCNR, funding has been received through the state Fish and Game Commission and the state Wildlife Agency, she said. Council also voted 5-0 to authorize police to continue working 10 additional hours per week through July with extra time dedicated to drug-related incidents and investigations. In other business: Rick Harmon, codes enforcement officer, said he will issue a citation to a Glenn Avenue resident who has been illegally keeping bags of garbage on the property. Council heard complaints from Richard Kuchta about syringes and other drug waste being strewn on his property along Furnace Dam Road. Kramer reported that a substantial savings in workers compensation insurance has been secured: $34,349 in premiums in 201213 in comparison to $13,912 in 2013-14. Moore, stating its stipulated in the borough code, submitted an invoice to have the borough pay for legal services she incurred with attorney Franklin Kepner III of Berwick. Solicitor John Pike has the matter under review.

transparency tumbles after building collapse

Mayor Nutters newest excuse for suppressing public information related to the fatal Market Street building collapse is that a grand jury is investigating the disaster. But the investigation doesnt change the public nature of the records involved. Experts in the eld say they were public records before the collapse and theyre public records now. Nutter is blowing a chance to keep his word that his government would be transparent. State law even allows him to grant access to records that fall into a gray area if they illuminate public policy. And illumination is sorely needed in a city where vacant buildings routinely fall down or catch on re, endangering and killing people while costing millions in property damage. By reversing a decades-old policy of releasing city settlement memos, Nutter has denied the public access to information about settled demolition claims that cost taxpayers more than $878,000 in the last ve years. Nutter says these documents are a treasure trove for plaintiffs lawyers looking to sue the city. But the lawyers already seem to know what theyre doing. The only people left out of the loop are the folks paying the bills, who have every right to evaluate the citys decisions. Nutter wont even release public documents related to taxpayer-nanced work performed by Sean Benschop, the excavator operator who is in jail awaiting trial on six counts of manslaughter in the June 5 collapse. Just a few months ago, ofcials thought enough of Benschop to give him city demolition work. The public has a right to know whats in the application that convinced the city of his expertise. Nor will Nutter divulge the locations of 300 demolition sites the administration claims to have inspected after the collapse. The administration announced the inspections to assure the public that it was being cautious. But without the locations, its impossible to conrm that. Nutter has also refused to release a transcript of a video in which a city inspector talks about his response to a complaint about the demolition job at 22d and Market though the administration hasnt hesitated to selectively quote passages from the video that put the city in a good light. Sadly, the video was recorded before the inspector, Ronald Wagenhoffer, apparently killed himself. While any personal content in the recording should remain private, there is no good reason to hide a rsthand account of what happened at the site before the collapse. The Nutter administration has repeatedly noted that the citys problem with dangerous buildings has festered for a century. This disaster could help change that, but not if the mayor continues to frustrate public examination and discussion. Nutters stance on these matters is profoundly disappointing given that he has cast himself as a reformer who would favor disclosure. He has lived up to that promise in other respects, but in this catastrophe, the mayor is making it difcult to trust him. The Philadelphia Inquirer

Sugar Notch councilman reserves right to free speech
At the Sugar Notch council meeting in April, another candidate for council asked me not to deliver a free newsletter to his house. This request came after the last issue refuted his claim, that I did not have the road crew plowing on the night of a snowstorm in February. A few weeks later I forgot which house was his and I was charged with two counts of trespassing totaling $774. One count was for putting it on his porch, the other for taking it back 20 minutes later. I have a BA in history and an MA in government from Georgetown University. I was born and raised in Sugar Notch and presently serve as a member of council. Since 1998 I have distributed about 50 issues of my free newsletter and other announcements. That comes to about three issues a year over the past 15 years. During that time, I have been treated very badly by public ofcials and their supporters. This disdain multiplied exponentially after I was elected to council in 2010. I also had to withstand constant insults and threats during council meetings as I was belittled by other ofcials and their supporters. My only outlet was to continue writing my newsletters, to get the word out about what was really going on in town. That seems to have been enough to get me arrested for trespassing last year and again this year. A report on the latest charges appeared in the newspaper, the day before the primary, plus another article on the day of the election. But, even before that, rumors about my arrest had already buzzed through town. I lost my lid. I do not enjoy becoming the news. When my trial and/or appeal have concluded, I will put out a story about it, too. Community news is protected speech, according to a ruling in 1946 (326 US 501). I will not be intimidated by people who do not respect my right to freedom of speech. Mario J.

I want to assure you and afrm that I believe the most important criterion for selection is the qualication of the candidate and I would only consider the location of the candidate if two equally qualied candidates are selected and one of them is local. I will work to drive out corruption and nepotism in your government so that we never return to the dark ages that have haunted this county for some many decades.

a war on coal? We can only hope

President Barack Obamas opponents have derisively called his plans announced last week to combat climate change a war on coal. It wont be clear for months or years if thats true, but Americans should sincerely hope that it is. Obamas strategy is limited by the need to bypass a do-nothing Congress, but it is a sweeping one. It includes a slew of small measures such as increasing the gas mileage of heavy trucks and the energy efciency of appliances and encouraging the development and use of renewable energy that cumulatively will make a big difference in the volume of greenhouse gas emissions. Its centerpiece, however, is Obamas order to the Environmental Protection Agency to take the single most important step in the ght against global warming: Set limits on the amount of heat-trapping carbon that coal-red power plants are allowed to spew into the air. The EPA has a year to produce a rst draft of the rules. Thats when well know whether the Obama administration is serious about launching this necessary war. The U.S. has about 600 coal-red plants, accounting for 40 percent of the nations carbon emissions the single largest source. Under the Clean Air Act, the government must reduce them. Polluters and their advocates claim, as they always do, that Obamas plan will destroy jobs and send energy prices soaring. They demonstrate a depressing lack of condence in the ingenuity of American entrepreneurs, investors and workers. Like most Silicon Valley business leaders, were condent that federal regulation will unleash a wave of energy innovation that ultimately saves Americans money on their power bills while cleaning up the air and slowing the rise of the oceans. Thats whats been happening in California as it rolls out its cap-and-trade system. The cost of doing nothing surely will far outweigh the cost of action. Hurricane Sandy alone is estimated to have cost the U.S. economy $65 billion. Responding to natural disasters will only grow more expensive as climate change intensies storms, droughts, heat waves, oods and sea-level rise. The Natural Resources Defense Councils recent proposal for a statebased, exible method of regulating power plants illustrates this point. It estimates the annual cost of its strategy at about $4 billion. But the annual savings would be $25 billion to $60 billion because of slower climate change and improved public health. The proposal could prevent 23,000 asthma attacks a year, among other health benets. We dont have time for a meeting of the at-Earth society, Obama said Tuesday while announcing his plan. Sticking your head in the sand might make you feel safer, but its not going to protect you from the coming storm. It was reassuring to see Obama take such a strong stand against climate change deniers. And his plans for dealing with the effects of global warming such as helping communities build in disaster-resistant ways and ensuring the strength of crucial infrastructure, like power plants and hospitals will protect millions of Americans while reminding us that the science of climate change is not speculative. Its happening right now. But the most important step of all is for the EPAs rules governing carbon emissions from power plants to be robust a true war on coal. Its a war the nation can, and must, win. San Jose Mercury News

It takes a lot of hard work to make that glass of milk

Its always a good time to enjoy a few scoops of ice cream or a refreshing glass of milk. Along with that enjoyment, it is also important that we take time to reect on where dairy farming stands today and what impact dairy farming has on your life. Agriculture is the leading industry in Pennsylvania, and dairy is one of its fundamental economic drivers. In fact, the dairy industry produces more than 40 percent of the commonwealths agriculture receipts and supports more than 60,000 jobs throughout the state. There is approximately one dairy cow for every 23 Pennsylvanians. Our state boasts 7,200 dairy farms. Producing roughly 10.7 million pounds of milk each year, ranking the commonwealth fth nationally in milk production. Additionally, studies show that the average dairy farm spends around 85 percent of its income locally, strengthening communities and surrounding areas. More than $6 million dollars annually are generated into the states economy from dairy production and associated businesses. Several years ago, dairy farmers struggled through one of the worst periods of low milk prices ever. Terribly low milk prices in 2009 and early 2010 threatened
Declare your independence from a meat-filled Fourth

What ever happened to the good old days when the worst things we had to fear on the 4th of July were trafc jams and wayward reworks? According to the Department of Agricultures Meat & Poultry Hotline, this years top threat is food poisoning by nasty E. coli and Salmonella bugs lurking in hamburgers and hot dogs at millions of backyard barbecues. The hotlines advice is to grill them longer and hotter. Of course, it doesnt bother to mention that the high-temperature grilling that kills the bugs also forms lots of cancer-causing compounds. Luckily, a bunch of enterprising U.S. food manufacturers and processors have met this challenge head-on by developing a great variety of healthful, delicious and convenient, veggie burgers and soy dogs. These delicious plant-based foods dont harbor nasty pathogens or cancercausing compounds. They dont even carry cholesterol, saturated fats, drugs or pesticides. And, they are waiting for us in the frozen food section of our supermarket. This 4th of July offers a great opportunity to declare our independence from the meat industry and to share wholesome veggie burgers and soy dogs with our family and friends.

County council members fail to fulfill their duties

After reading the comments about the virtues of hiring senior management almost exclusively from local talent from Luzerne County Council Members Urban, Urban, Morelli and Kelleher, I can only assume they took the blue pill and decided to stay plugged into the Matrix. Had they taken the red pill, they would have been unplugged and their eyes opened to the corruption that was, and in some cases, still is the backbone of local government decision-making. After more than several dozen arrests and convictions, they would have seen that the most important criterion for hiring is the qualication of the candidate and not the location. Their arguments in favor of local candidates are specious at best, ludicrous at worst. I am saddened that this mentality still exists on a council whose formation can be rmly traced back to the demand for change from the citizens as a result of the corruption in the county. I fully expected the elected council members to come into this new role with

Egypt
From page 1A former militant extremists have vowed to fight. Multiple Brotherhood officials on Thursday firmly urged their followers to keep their protests peaceful. Thousands of Morsi supporters remained massed in front of a Cairo mosque where they have camped for days, with lines of military armored vehicles across the road nearby keeping watch. We declare our complete rejection of the military coup staged against the elected president and the will of the nation, the Brotherhood said in a statement, read by the groups senior cleric Abdel-Rahman el-Barr to the crowd outside the Rabia al-Adawiya Mosque in Cairo. We refuse to participate in any activities with the usurping authorities, the statement said, urging Morsi supporters to remain peaceful. The Rabia al-Adawiya protesters planned to march on the Ministry of Defense on Friday. The Brotherhood denounced the crackdown, including the shutdown Wednesday night of its television channel, Misr25, its newspaper and three pro-Morsi Islamist TV stations. The military, it said, is returning Egypt to the practices of the dark, repressive, dictatorial and corrupt ages. A military statement late Thursday appeared to signal a wider wave of arrests was not in the offing. Spokesman Col. Ahmed Mohammed Ali said in a Facebook posting that that the army and security forces will not take any exceptional or arbitrary measures against any political group. The military has a strong will to ensure national reconciliation, constructive justice and tolerance, he wrote. He spoke against gloating and vengeance, saying only peaceful protests will be tolerated and urging Egyptians not to attack Brotherhood offices to avert an endless cycle of revenge. The armys removal of Morsi sparked massive celebrations Wednesday night among the crowds of protesters around the country, with fireworks, dancing and blaring car horns lasting close to dawn. On Thursday, the extent of the Brotherhood reversal was clear. Adly Mansour, the head of the Supreme Constititonal Court, with which Morsi had repeated confrontations, was sworn in as new interim president. In his inaugural speech, aired nationwide, he said the massive anti-Morsi protests that began Sunday, June 30, had corrected the path of the glorious revolution of Jan. 25, referring to the 2011 uprising that toppled Mubarak. To cheers from his audience, he also praised the army, police, media and judiciary for standing against the Brotherhood all institutions that Islamists saw as full of Mubarak loyalists trying to thwart their rule. Moreover, the constitution, which Islamists drafted and Morsi praised as the greatest in the world, has been suspended. Also, AbdelMeguid Mahmoud, the Mubarak-era top prosecutor whom Morsi removed to much controversy, was reinstated to his post and immediately announced investigations against Brotherhood officials. Many of the Brotherhoods opponents want them prosecuted for what they say were crimes committed during Morsis rule, just as Mubarak was prosecuted for protester deaths during the uprising against him. Over the past year, dozens were killed in clashes with Brotherhood supporters and with security forces. But the swift moves raise perceptions of a revenge campaign against the Brotherhood. The National Salvation Front, the top opposition political group during Morsis presidency and a key member of the coalition that worked with the military in his removal, criticized the moves. We totally reject excluding any party, particularly political Islamic groups. The Front has proposed one of its top leaders, Mohammed ElBaradei, to become prime minister of the interim Cabinet, a post that will hold strong powers since Mansours presidency post is considered symbolic. ElBaradei, a Nobel Peace laureate who once headed the U.N. nuclear watchdog, is considered the countrys top reform advocate. Reconciliation is the name of the game, including the Muslim Brotherhood. We need to be inclusive, Munir Fakhry Abdel-Nour, a leading member of the group, told The Associated Press. The detentions are a mistake. He said the arrests appeared to be prompted by security officials fears over possible calls for violence by Brotherhood leaders. There may be complaints against certain individuals in the Brotherhood but they dont justify the detention, he said, predicting they will be released in the coming days. Abdel-Nour said the Front intends to ensure the military has no role in politics. He added that the Front is hoping for the backing of ultraconservative Salafis for ElBaradeis bid for prime minister. Some Salafi factions have sided with the new leadership. He noted that the Islamistbacked constitution was not outright cancelled in a gesture to Salafis. Morsi has been under detention in an unknown location since Wednesday night, and at least a dozen of his top presidential aides

and advisers have been under what is described as house arrest, though their locations are also unknown. Besides the Brotherhoods top leader, General Guide Mohammed Badie, security officials have also arrested his predecessor, Mahdi Akef, and one of his two deputies, Rashad Bayoumi, as well as Saad el-Katatni, head of the Brotherhoods Freedom and Justice Party, and ultraconservative Salafi figure Hazem Abu Ismail, who has a considerable street following. Authorities have also issued a wanted list for more than 200 Brotherhood members and leaders of other Islamist groups. Among them is Khairat el-Shater, another deputy of the general guide who is widely considered the most powerful figure in the Brotherhood. The arrest of Badie was a dramatic step, since even Mubarak and his predecessors had
been reluctant to move against the groups top leader. The ranks of Brotherhood members across the country swear a strict oath of unquestioning allegiance to the general guide, vowing to hear and obey. It has been decades since any Brotherhood general guide was put in a prison. Badie and el-Shater were widely believed by the opposition to be the real power in Egypt during Morsis tenure. Badie was arrested late Wednesday from a villa where he had been staying in the Mediterranean coastal city of Marsa Matrouh and flown by helicopter to Cairo, security officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk the press. Mahmoud, the top prosecutor, said he was opening investigations into the killings of protesters during Morsis rule. He ordered elKatatni and Bayoumi
questioned on allegations of instigating violence and killings, and put travel bans on 36 others, a sign they too could face prosecution. He also took steps toward releasing a prominent activist detained for insulting Morsi. In the first step toward setting up a post-Morsi leadership, the chief judge of the Supreme Constitutional Court Adly Mansour took the oath as interim president before his fellow judges at the constitutional court. The 67-year-old jurist, a Mubarak appointee like nearly every judge in the judiciary, had been the deputy head of the court for over 20 years. He was elevated to the chief justice position only three days ago, when his predecessor reached mandatory retirement age. He was among the judges who ruled against a political isolation law in 2012 that would have barred many Mubarak-era officials from politics and
as a result, Mubaraks last prime minister Ahmed Shafiq was able to run against Morsi. After the swearing-in ceremony aired live on state TV, Mansour delivered an address praising the massive street demonstrations that led to Morsis ouster. He hailed the youth behind the protests that began on Sunday, June 30 and brought out millions around the country. Dressed in a dark blue suit and a sky blue tie, Mansour said the rallies brought together everyone without discrimination or division and were an expression of the nations conscience and an embodiment of its hopes and ambitions. But there was no sign of outreach to the Brotherhood in his address. He suggested Morsis election had been tainted, saying, I look forward to parliamentary and presidential elections held with the genuine and authentic will of the people.
Google
From page 1A California-based Google might be best known for its popular Internet search engine, but its range of products has expanded to include email, online language translation and Google Maps, a collection of international maps, satellite and street view images. The new virtual tour program will post the indoor images not only to street view, but to business listings for the individual firms that are maintained online in connection with Googles search engine. Searches for participating businesses on any of Googles services will provide viewers with a linked thumbnail image inviting them to see inside. The service is open to a range of businesses, from restaurants and boutiques to dental and professional offices, automotive showrooms, hotels and colleges and universities, Hilker said. Google launched the feature last year, following several years of development. Its roster of available tours includes such non-commercial landmarks as the White House and the Parliament of Canada, but already photographers have visited 100,000 businesses worldwide, Hilker said, including more than 40,000 in the United States. About 3,000 new businesses are photographed across the country each month, he added. The photos are produced using a rotating digital camera mounted on a tripod to take the photographs. In most situations, the camera is stationed at ve places and takes 12 pictures at each site. The most important part of the process, he said, is the stitching software that links the separate photos together to create a seamless rotating view. For all the high-tech work, Hilker said, the process is relatively quick and nonintrusive, and the company blurs the faces of anyone in the photos to protect their privacy. We can go into a business now, and many times we are gone before most people have a chance to realize we were even there, Hilker said. State College experience Among those Pennsylvania businesses to have participated thus far is the Centre Animal Hospital in State College, whose virtual tour was taken late last month and uploaded to the web this week. It was easy, a great experience, said hospital administrator Connie Passmore. Hospital officials read about the program in their local newspaper and felt that participating might help reach more clients via the web and social media, Passmore said. The hospitals virtual tour brings viewers into a spotless waiting room, where colorful posters and neat bags of pet foot stacked on a shelf lead toward the front desk. I think it will be really worth it, Passmore said, adding that she believes the images will help prospective clients make a decision about whether to bring their pets to the hospital based on the first couple of feet they see inside the business.

Open-wheel racing is back at the Trick yTriangle

Dan Gelston
IndyCar drivers set for 1st Pocono race since 1989
AP Sports Writer
LONG POND There was a time when the Andrettis reigned at Pocono Raceway. Back in August 1986, one of racings most decorated families pulled off a clean sweep at the 2-mile track. Michael Andretti won the pole, Mario Andretti won the 500-mile race and Jeff Andretti won the supporting Indy Lights race from the pole. Sometimes, the family that races together, wins together. We cleaned house that weekend, a smiling Mario Andretti said. That was my favorite memory. It wouldnt be repeated. Sure, a feat like that would be tough enough to pull off twice, even for a talented racing family. But there was no chance once open-wheel racing split with Pocono in 1989, leaving NASCAR behind as the top series to compete at the triangle track. IndyCar seemed destined to live at Pocono only in the record book. But look whats back in town. Those werent stock cars zipping around the track See TRIANGLE | 7B

Lisicki continues amazing run to final

LONDON Whether in a match, a set, a game or even within a single point Sabine Lisicki simply cannot be counted out. Especially at Wimbledon, where she is one victory from becoming a Grand Slam champion. Fashioning the same sort of comeback she used to eliminate defending titlist Serena Williams at the All England Club, the 23rd-seeded Lisicki reached her rst major nal by edging No. 4 Agnieska Radwanska of Poland 6-4, 2-6, 9-7 in a compelling, back-and-forth match Thursday. I just fought with all my heart, said Lisicki, who twice was two points away from losing to 2012 runner-up Radwanska. I believed that I could still win, no matter what the score was. On Saturday, Lisicki will face 15th-seeded Marion Bartoli, who took a nap on a locker-room couch before heading out to Centre Court and earning a berth in her second Wimbledon nal

Flyers Giroux agrees to 8-year extension

The Associated Press Philadelphia Flyers captain Claude Giroux agreed to an eight-year extension worth over $64 million Thursday, according to a person familiar with the negotiations. The person spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because the contract has not been signed and the extension not revealed by the Flyers. The deal comes as Giroux was entering the nal year of his contract and with the Flyers in the midst of reshaping a team that missed the playoffs last season. A two-time 25-goal scorer, Giroux is the Flyers top play-making offensive threat. He had 13 goals and 35 assists for 48 points in 48 games last season. Overall, he has 291 points (91 goals, 200 assists) in 333 career games spread over six seasons in Philadelphia. The Flyers have already made several splashes over the past two weeks. They landed this summers most high-prole free agent by agreeing to terms with Vincent Lecavalier on a four-year contract Tuesday. Lecavalier was available after the Tampa Bay Lightning bought out the remaining years on their captains contract. Philadelphia was also aggressive in freeing up salary cap space. The team bought out the contracts of forward Danny Briere, who has agreed to a deal with Montreal, and goalie Ilya Bryzgalov. The Flyers did announce on Thursday that they will re-sign journeyman center Adam Hall to a one-year deal. The Flyers acquired Hall by claiming him off waivers in April.
Beating the heat at Bernies Run

MOOSIC - In the spirit of Independence Day, the S cranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders began by launching a few bombs. But it was the man on the mound for them who really gave everyone a mesmerizing display. Starting pitcher Brett Marshall worked a season-high eight innings Thursday and Brent Lillibridge and Randy Ruiz both blasted rstinning homers as the RailRiders rode past Buffalo, 5-2 at PNC Field. The performance came on a Fourth of July reworks night, which drew a capacity crowd of 10,000 - the rst sellout and largest crowd of the season at newly-revamped PNC Field. Just have fun, Marshall said, noticing the packed stands. Its a kids game and I enjoy it. I know when we have big crowds, it kind of gets you amped up a little bit and gets you in the game. His response was working one of his best games of the season. Marshall allowed just two runs - on Mike McCoys two-run homer in the fth inning - and struck out seven while walking one while throwing an efcient 96 pitches. That gave Marshall, 4-6, his second straight victory after going seven weeks without one. The guy who couldnt win for awhile suddenly cant lose. Weve been working
on mechanics, direction, Marshall said. Ive been throwing across my body bad, and thats been really good the past few games. I feel pretty good rhythmwise and consistencywise. I feel a lot better. The RailRiders felt so good, they were having a blast. Lillibridge started the celebration by ripping a one-out drive off former Toronto Blue Jays starter Ricky Romero, a shot that hit just above the yellow line on the center eld fence in the rst inning - giving the former Cubs, White Sox and Red Sox player his fth homer since he joined the RailRiders on June 22 and gave the team a quick 1-0 lead. Im feeling good, squaring balls up, trying to do something with a pitch, said Lillibridge, best known to Yankees fans for making two spectacular catches in center eld for the White Sox two years ago while robbing both Alex Rodriguez and Robinson Cano of extra bases and saving a victory in the ninth inning. Its been good so far. We had some good at-bats against a good pitcher whos had success in the big leagues. The run in the rst innings always a good start. One out later, Ruiz gave them another, launching a rocket shot over the catwalk and just under the Burger King sign in left eld for a 2-0 RailRiders lead. Theyre instant runs, Lillibridge said of the homers. You dont have to string three hits See RAILRIDERS | 3B

LISICKI
From page 1B with a 6-1, 6-2 victory over No. 20 Kirsten Flipkens of Belgium. Its only the second time in the 45-year Open era that two women who have never won a Grand Slam trophy will play for the championship at the grass-court tournament. Germanys Lisicki and Frances Bartoli also form the second-lowest pair of seeded women to meet for the Wimbledon title. In 2007, Bartoli was No. 18 when she lost to No. 23 Venus Williams. In the beginning of the tournament, no one, I think, (expected) those names in the semis or in the nals, Radwanska said. Thats for sure. In 11 of the past 13 years, one Williams sister or the other and sometimes both reached the nal at the All England Club. This year, five-time champion Venus sat out because of a back injury, while ve-time champion Serenas 34-match winning streak ended with a loss to Lisicki in Mondays fourth round. In that match, Lisicki won the rst set, dropped nine games in a row to fall behind 3-0 in the third, and eventually took the last four games. In the semifinals, Lisicki won the rst set, dropped nine of 11 games to fall behind 3-0 in the third, and eventually turned it around. I thought, Ive done it against Serena, so you can do it today as well. Just hang in there, Lisicki said. It gave me so much condence. Some of that derives from a more daunting recovery. In 2010, she badly injured her left ankle and missed ve months. Not only did she fall outside the top 150 in the rankings, but Lisicki says her rehabilitation felt like a course in how to use that leg. I can still remember when the doctor told me that I have to be on crutches the next six weeks. I was like, OK, when can I get back? That was my first question, Lisicki recalled Thursday. That period made me such a much stronger person and I know anything is possible after learning how to walk again. She cited inspiration drawn from two injured athletes in other sports, NFL quarterback Drew Brees and Alpine ski racer Hermann Maier. Brees tore his throwing shoulder in the last game of the 2005 regular season, and needed a complicated operation. Let go by the San Diego Chargers, he wound up signing with the New Orleans Saints and led that franchise to the Super Bowl title in 2010. Maier, who won two Olympic gold medals and four overall World Cup titles, nearly lost his right leg and his life in a 2001 motorcycle accident. Sidelined for two years, he returned to win the World Cup in 2004. Lisicki also was motivated by a text message she said she received before Thursdays match from the last German woman to play in a Grand Slam final, back in 1999, Steffi Graf. She told me to go for it, Lisicki said. Lisickis formula against Radwanska was the same one she employed while beating major champions Francesca Schiavone in the rst round, Sam Stosur in the third and Williams: powerful serves, stinging returns and an uncanny ability to get to balls that seem out of reach. On Thursday, Lisicki smacked serves at up to 122 mph, including nine aces, and hit eight return winners. Her game clearly is built for grass. She is 19-4 at Wimbledon, 16-15 at the other three major tournaments. Shes 8-2 in threesetters at Wimbledon, 5-9 at the other Slams.

RUN
From page 1B Dallas, by 36 seconds. Dan Pszeniczny, 45, of Benton, nished third, six seconds behind Adams. I went out with Dan early in the race, said Wadas, who is the head track and cross country coach at Misericordia. I actually pulled away from Dan at about 1,200 meters. I surged over the second mile and I tried to bring it home over the nal mile. I beat my time from last year by eight seconds. Ill take that especially in this heat and humidity. Regan Rome won t ==op female honors, clocking in at 17:07. The 17-year-old ash from Dallas outran second-place nisher Marina Orrson, 22, of Shavertown, by nine seconds. Ali Schappert, 26, of Hanover Township, placed third in 18:34. It was hot! said Rome, who will be a senior at Dallas High School, where she runs track and cross country. It was really hot and humid. So I wasnt concerned about my time. I was just concerned about winning. I was kind of gapping (Orrson). Then she would come up on me and then fall back. With one mile to go, I nally got a solid gap on her and held on to the nish. NOTES Rome made the Foot Locker Nationals
as a junior. Orrson, who ran for Lake-Lehman High School and Misericordia, qualied for NCAA Division III Nationals in the 10,000-meter run this past season for the Cougars. Schappert ran and swam for Meyers High School and ran for Misericordia. Wadas, Orrson and Schappert are members of the Susquehanna River Runners Club, the areas newest running club. Jeff Skwierz and Jill Matthews-Lada, who won age group awards, are also members of the club. Cameron (11) and Lexie (8) Marcinkowski nished 1-2 in the Half Mile Kids Fun Run. The sisters are the daughters of Brian and Krissie Marcinkowski of Hunlock Creek. Krissie and her sister Colleen the Springer sisters were standout guards for the Bishop OReilly High School and Misericordia basketball teams in the 1980s. 30th annual Wilkes-Barre YMCA 3 Mile Run Bernies Memorial results Top three male award winners 1.

RAILRIDERS
THE T.L.EXPRESS
From page 1B together when you hit a home run. The second of Dan Johnsons three hits of the night was most timely. His two-out, two run single scored
Adonis Garcis and Lillibrige to improve Scranton/ Wilkes-Barres lead to 4-0 in the third inning. Then Lillibridge delivered the teams final run with a sacrice y that scored Addison Maruszak in the fourth. That was more than enough for Marshall, who said
he felt good enough to nish the game with one more inning, but instead gave way to Dellin Betances - who picked up the save. Its huge, Marshall said. Denitely a big condence-booster.
It was a big night for Scranton/Wilkes-Barres offense, which rode two early home runs and a tworun single to victory. But perhaps the night was the pitching performance of Brett Marshall, who worked a season-high eight innings, limited to Buffalo to two runs and nished his sterling performance by striking out the side in order in his nal inning of work. RAILRIDERS AT THE PLATE: Brent Lillibridge homered for the second straight night, later drew a walk and scored two runs. Randy Ruiz blasted a monstrous solo homer in the rst inning and hit another pitch just as far but way foul before drawing a walk in the fth. Dan Johnson had a three-hit night, with a two run single perhaps the biggest blow of the game. RAILRIDERS ON THE MOUND: It was a sterling outing for Marshall, who seems to have found some consistency and picked up his second straight victory after going seven weeks without one. The righthander allowed just seven hits and two runs over a seasonhigh eight innings, striking out seven along the way
while issuing only one walk. ATTENDANCE: 10,000! A sellout crowd. TIME OF GAME: 2:17 OFFENSIVE PLAY: Johnsons two-out, two-run single in the third inning gave the RailRiders plenty of breathing room and came right in the middle of his three-hit night. DEFENSIVE PLAY: Getting a great jump on the ball, RailRiders center fielder Adonis Garcis raced a long way and stretched far to snag a shot off the bat of Anthony Gose to prevent certain extra bases to start the seventh inning. NEXT UP: The RailRiders close their two-game series with Buffalo at 7:05 p.m. today at PNC Field. PROBABLE STARTERS: RHP Jose Ramierz (1-1, 3.71 ERA) goes for the RailRiders against Buffalos RHP Justin Germano. ON DECK: Rival Lehigh Valley comes to PNC Field to open a two-game weekend series beginning at 7:05 p.m. Saturday.
ON THE RADIO: All games can be heard on WYCK 1340-AM, 1400-AM, 100.7-FM. ON TV: The next televised game by WQMY will be on Saturday against Lehigh Valley beginning at 7 p.m. HOW THEY SCORED RAILRIDERS FIRST: Brent Lillibridge drove a home run just over the yellow line in center eld. One out later, Randy Ruiz launched another solo blast over the catwalk in left eld. RAILRIDERS 2-0. RAILRIDERS THIRD: Adonis Garcis reached on an error to start the inning and Lillibridge followed by drawing a walk. Two outs later, Dan Johnson drove both home with a hard single to right. RAILRIDERS 4-0. RAILRIDERS FOURTH: Addison Maruszak doubled, moved to third on a ground out, and scored on Lillibridges sacrifice fly. RAILRIDERS 5-0. BUFFALO FIFTH: Anthony Gose singled and came home when Mike McCoy blasted a two-run homer. RAILRIDERS 5-2.
Yankees SS Jeter thinks hes close to rehab games

The Associated Press
TAMPA, Fla. New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter says he thinks he is close to feeling well enough to begin playing in minor league games. The Yankees captain says he is now doing everything needed before beginning a rehabilitation assignment. Im anxious to be playing in games, Jeter said after working out Thursday at the Yankees minor league complex. When they tell me to play, Ill play. On Wednesday, Jeter ran the bases after putting the ball in play during simulated at-bats for the rst time since a second break was found in his left ankle. He is
expected to rejoin the Yankees after the All-Star break. Everything felt good, Jeter said. Jeter has been out all season. He broke his ankle in the opener of the AL championship series on Oct. 13. After surgery, he played just ve spring training games because of soreness. A new break was discovered on April 18. Yankees outfielder Curtis Granderson, out with a broken knuckle on his left hand, took around 15 swings in an indoor pool with a lightweight pipe, the initial step in the process to resume hitting. To know that this is the rst step and weve checked that off is good news, Granderson said. Granderson is also catching flyballs during batting
practice. As for catcher Francisco Cervelli, he will likely need another month before hes back with the team. Manager Joe Girardi said Thursday that an MRI test on Cervelli revealed a stress reaction in his right elbow. He has been shut down from activity for two weeks. Girardi said the injury arose in the last few days and acknowledged the 27-year-old probably wont return to the Yankees until August. A stress reaction is the precursor to a stress fracture. Cervelli has been doing rehabilitation work for a bro ken right hand that occurred in late April. He played in 16 games at the start of the season but has been out since then. Cervelli was making progress, throw-

Briere signs with Habs; Elias staying with Devils

AP Sports Writer
John Wawrow
Danny Brieres heading home to his native Quebec. Patrik Elias is staying in New Jersey. And leave it to the Boston Bruins and Dallas Stars to steal the headlines Thursday by completing a blockbuster trade a day before the start of the NHLs free agency period. In exchanging seven players, the rebuilding Stars acquired forwards Tyler Seguin and Rich Peverley in exchange for veteran forward Loui Eriksson. The trade should be a benet to the Bruins in their approach to free agency. They were able to clear about $4.75 million in space under the salary cap, which they can use to add and re-sign
players. Otherwise, the list of high-prole free agents continued to shrink even before the ofcial signing period begins at noon Friday. Briere and Elias became the latest to be taken off a market thats already minus Vincent Lecavalier, who signed with Philadelphia on Tuesday. Briere signed a two-year, $8 million contract with the Montreal Canadiens. A person familiar with Brieres contract revealed the value of the deal, speaking to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because the Canadiens did not disclose that gure. Its a homecoming of sorts for the French Canadian, who grew up in Gatineau, Quebec, and spent his junior career in Drummondville. Briere, a
seven-time 25-goal scorer, became a free agent after the Flyers bought out the two remaining years on his contract. The Devils re-signed Elias to a threeyear, $16.5 million deal, locking up the franchises career goals and points leader before he was eligible to test the market. He has spent his entire 15-year career with the Devils, during which he has amassed 375 goals, 555 assists and 930 points in 1,090 career games. Elias has also led the Devils in points eight times, including this past season when he nished with 36 (14 goals, 22 assists) in 48 games. New Jersey also re-signed veteran forward Dainius Zubrus to a threeyear, $9.3 million contract.
Former Philadelphia Flyers forward Danny Briere (48) agreed to a two-year deal with the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday.

Gainey, Wagner start hot at Greenbrier

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. The mustache is gone, and for one round at least, Johnson Wagner also didnt have to deal with playing bad golf. Wagner and Tommy Gainey each shot an 8-under 62 on Thursday to share a two-stroke lead after the rst round of the Greenbrier Classic. Webb Simpson and Jin Park were close behind after 64s. Daniel Summerhays, Tag Ridings, Steven Bowditch and 50-year-old Neal Lancaster were another shot back. Players were able to lift, clean and place their balls Thursday after rain fell prior to the start of play. Gainey and Wagner had bogey-free rounds in the morning. Wagner was 8 under after 12 holes but nished with six straight pars. Both could use a good week Gainey is 125th in season tour winnings, while Wagner ranks 148th. Wagner doesnt have a top-10 nish this year and the three-time tour champion hasnt won since the 2012 Sony Open. In his last seven tournaments, hes missed six cuts and withdrew from the Memorial. The last couple of months have been really hard, Wagner said. I just havent been much fun to be around. Its just been tough. Nobody likes to be bad at what they do, especially golfers. A product of Virginia Tech which is less than two hours from the Old White TPC course Wagner chipped in for eagle on the par-5 12th, then nished with six straight pars. Ive been disappointed with 76s and 79s the last
month, so Im very happy to be disappointed with a 62 today, said Wagner, who shaved his well-talkedabout mustache in a nod to his wife for their seventh wedding anniversary on Monday. I didnt get her a gift. So I thought maybe surprising her with a clean lip would sufce, he said. The mustache will return at some point. I love irritating my wife too much to let it go for too long, he said. Gaineys rst PGA Tour victory came last fall at the McGladrey Classic, but like Wagner he has missed more cuts than hes made this year. Nicknamed Two Gloves for wearing gloves on both hands, Gainey had a serious talk with his wife, two other family members and his agent in the past month to try to gure out how to turn around his bad fortunes. Gainey said he had stopped having fun on the course. I had gotten away from that and Im trying to get back into that now, he said. I felt like I knew what was going on. I was putting too much pressure on myself. Not Thursday, when he missed just one fairway with a new driver in his bag. Hitting out of the rough is no fun, Gainey said. Trust me, Ive been doing it for the past three years. Wagner admitted he had thoughts of shooting 59. Gainey knows what its like to irt with the magic number, which only ve players have attained in ofcial PGA Tour events. He shot 60 in the McGladrey Classics nal round.

Jefferson, Bobcats reach 3-year deal

CHARLOTTE, N.C. The Charlotte Bobcats agreed on Thursday to a three-year, $40.5 million contract with free agent center Al Jefferson from the Utah Jazz, said people familiar with the situation. Jefferson will make $13.5 million in each year of the deal, with the third season being a player option. The people spoke to The Associated Press on Thursday on condition of anonymity because the deal hasnt become ofcial. The contract cannot be signed until July 10 when the NBAs moratorium on signing new deals is lifted. Jefferson, 28, gives the Bobcats a much-needed scoring threat in the low post, where they struggled last season. He should also help on the boards, where the Bobcats were repeatedly outrebounded the last two seasons. The 6-foot-10, 289-pound Jefferson has averaged 18.8 points and 10 rebounds per game over the last seven seasons. Last season, his third with the Jazz, he averaged 17.8 points, 9.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists. The Boston Celtics selected Jefferson out of high school in Mississippi with the No. 15 pick in the 2004 draft. During a nine-year
NBA career, Jefferson also played two seasons for the Minnesota Timberwolves. He has career averages of 16.4 points, 9 rebounds and 1.5 assists. Jefferson was among four highprole free agents who played last season with the Jazz, along with Paul Millsap, Mo Williams and Randy Foye. Utah went 43-39 and missed the playoffs for the second time in three years. Acquired by the Jazz in a July 2010 trade, Jefferson earned $15 million last season and led the team in both scoring and rebounding. Jefferson becomes the best low post scoring threat the Bobcats have had in nine years in the NBA. Last year, the Bobcats started a combination of Brendan Haywood, Byron Mullens, Bismack Biyombo and Josh McRoberts at center. Gana Diop, their other big man, rarely played. Elsewhere, people familiar with the trade say Sacramento, New Orleans and Portland have agreed to a three-team deal sending guard Tyreke Evans to the Pelicans, center Robin Lopez to the Trail Blazers and guard Greivis Vasquez to the Kings. The people, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because NBA rules prevent conrmation of trades until July 10, say Portland is sending second-round draft pick
Al Jefferson (25) was the Charlotte Bobcats first free agent target this offseason.

Jeff Withey to New Orleans and a future draft pick to Sacramento as part of the deal, which was rst reported by ESPN. Evans, a former Rookie of the Year and restricted free agent,
averaged 15.2 points with the Kings last season, his fourth. The 7-foot Lopez averaged 11.3 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.6 blocks. Vasquez averaged 13.9 points and nine assists.

Showdown between Coles goes to Phillies

The Associated Press PITTSBURGH Major league loss leader Cole Hamels pitched seven strong innings, Carlos Ruiz hit a tiebreaking single and the Philadelphia Phillies beat Gerrit Cole and the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-4 on Thursday. Hamels (3-11) gave up one earned run and ve hits, striking out eight without a walk. The former World Series MVP won for the rst time since June 5. Cole (4-1) lost for the rst time in the majors after becoming the rst Pirates pitcher to win his rst four career starts since Nick Maddox in 1907. Cole allowed three runs and eight hits in 5 1-3 innings. Jonathan Papelbon worked a perfect ninth inning for his 17th save in 21 opportunities. Diamondbacks 5, Mets 4, 15 innings NEW YORK Cliff Pennington hit an RBI single with two outs in the 15th inning and the Arizona Diamondbacks, boosted early by Gerardo Parras bunt double, outlasted the Mets to split an exhausting series at Citi Field. Arizona scored in the nal three innings but couldnt close out the feisty Mets until Brad Ziegler retired Kirk Nieuwenhuis on a grounder with runners at second and third to end a game that lasted 5 hours, 46 minutes. Anthony Recker and Nieuwenhuis hit tying homers in consecutive extra innings for New York, which dropped its nal home appearance before hosting the All-Star game July 16. In a span of four days, the teams played a 13-inning game, a 15-inning marathon and two others delayed by rain for a total of 3 hours. Chaz Roe (1-0) got the win. Scott Rice (3-5) took the loss. Nationals 8, Brewers 5 WASHINGTON Wilson Ramos hit a go-ahead, three-run homer in the seventh inning for the Washington Nationals. Back after missing 44 games with a strained left hamstring, Ramos had three hits and a career-high ve RBIs as the Nationals earned a split of the four-game series and moved back above .500 in their seesaw season. Ian Desmond, moved to the No. 2 spot in a lineup epiphany from manager Davey Johnson, had three hits, stole two bases and scored two runs. Taylor Jordan allowed two runs over 5 2-3 innings in his second major league start, and Drew Storen (3-2) got the win despite blowing a 5-2 lead in the seventh. Marlins 4, Braves 3 ATLANTA Pinch-hitter Donovan Solano singled to right in the top of the ninth, driving home Ed Lucas to lift Miami to a victory. Marcell Ozuna hit a solo home run in the second inning and drove in another run with a single in the fourth during a three-hit night.

Yankees complete 4-game sweep of Twins

The Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS Vernon Wells drove in three runs, and the New York Yankees pounded rookie Kyle Gibson while nishing a four-game sweep of the Minnesota Twins 9-5 on Sunday. Travis Hafner had three hits and scored twice, and Ichiro Suzuki had a two-run triple among his three hits for the Yankees, who scored 29 runs in the series. The Yankees didnt even need their usual super-sized contribution from Robinson Cano, whose streak of six straight multihit games ended without reaching base. He still batted .500 on the seven-game road trip with 11 RBIs. Justin Morneau homered twice for the Twins, onethird of his season total. But Gibson (1-1) gave up 11 hits and eight runs in 5 1-3 innings. New York starter David Phelps (6-5) was charged with four runs and eight hits in 6 1-3 innings. The Twins have lost 10 of their last 13 games. White Sox 3, Orioles 2 CHICAGO Adam Dunn hit a game-ending solo homer off Tommy Hunter in the ninth inning, lifting the Chicago White Sox to a victory over Baltimore. Dayan Viciedo ied out to left before Dunn drove a full-count pitch from Hunter (3-2) over the wall in left for his 23rd homer. It was the third hit of the game for Dunn, who also had two RBIs. Jose Quintana pitched seven innings of two-hit ball for the White Sox, nishing with a career-high 11 strikeouts. He retired his last 13 batters. Rays 7, Astros 5, 11 innings HOUSTON Yunel Escobar drove in three runs, including a tiebreaking double in the 11th inning that sent Tampa Bay to the victory. Escobar and Desmond Jennings each doubled twice and singled, helping the Rays win for the fth time in six games. Brett Wallace homered twice for the Astros. Tigers 11, Blue Jays 1 TORONTO Justin Verlander pitched seven shutout innings, Austin Jackson hit a two-run homer and the Detroit Tigers routed the slumping Toronto Blue Jays. Jackson went 4 for 5 with a walk and scored four times as the Tigers pounded out 16 hits while playing without slugger Miguel Cabrera, who got a rare day off. Royals 10, Indians 7 KANSAS CITY, Mo. Lorenzo Cain hit his rst career grand slam, Salvador Perez provided a basesloaded double in the eighth inning and the Royals rallied to get the win.

treatment, too. Being the rst South African to wear the yellow jersey will denitely change my life, he said. Rugby, cricket and, for the majority black population, football, are the big sports for South Africans. Impey can shop in the malls of Johannesburg, where he trains and lives, without being recognized, said his wife, Alexandra. But that was before his buddy on the Orica GreenEdge team, Simon Gerrans, passed him the race lead at the Tour. Wearing the yellow jersey now is denitely going to change things for cycling, put it on the map in South Africa, said Impey. Hopefully people will start recognizing me, maybe. Gerrans knows the feeling. To wear canary yellow at the Tour is to be king for a day or more depending on how long the rider keeps the lead. Gerrans had it for two unforgettable days. Fans clapped and cheered when they saw him. Reporters chased him. A particularly boisterous crowd of Aussie fans played air guitar for him. The jersey also carries extra responsibilities: news conferences, podium ceremonies and other distractions can eat into rest and recovery so important for riders to survive the three-week trek over 2,115 miles. Impey worked for Gerrans earlier at the Tour, helping him win Stage 3 and riding hard in the time trial Orica won as a team in Stage 4. Gerrans gured it was time for some payback. So on Thursday he rode in ve seconds behind Impey in Montpellier. That was enough for the race lead to pass from one to the other, because they started the day with the exact same overall time, with Gerrans in rst place and Impey second.
MONTPELLIER, France Stage 6 of the 100th Tour de France was a textbook demonstration of teamwork. Like playing pass the parcel, an Australian deliberately handed over the race lead to help a South African teammate and friend become the rst rider from that country to wear the famed yellow jersey. And Andre Greipel, who won the stage with a erce nishing sprint, owed a debt of gratitude to teammates who plied him with drinks all afternoon, ferrying bottles back and forth from cars at the back of the race, so he didnt melt in the scorching sun. Room service, the big German said light-heartedly. As the new leader of cyclings showcase race, Daryl Impey can look forward to some rst-class

Daryl was a huge part of me getting the jersey so I thought it was a nice gesture to be able to pass it on to him now. Hopefully for a few days, Gerrans said. To
have the yellow jersey, it just really changes your life as a cyclist. Ill have a bit more time to myself now and pass all that extra work on to Daryl, Gerrans
added. I dont count it as losing the jersey. I count it as passing it on to a mate. It was the plan before the stage and we were able to execute it perfectly.

L A U S A N N E , Switzerland A day after Madrid wowed the
July 16-21, 2013
IOC with its presentation, Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said concerns over Spains economy dont exist anymore and he will go to Argentina in September for the vote on the host city for the 2020 Olympics. Rajoy met with IOC President Jacques Rogge on Thursday to show his governments support for the Madrid bid, which picked up vital momentum a day earlier with its campaign pitch to the IOC general assembly. Tokyo and Istanbul also made strong presentations,
but it was Madrid that made the most impact with a show-stealing speech by Crown Prince Felipe, a former Olympic sailor and Spains ag-bearer at the opening ceremony of the 1992 Barcelona Games. Once viewed as a long shot because of Spains severe economic crisis, Madrid is considered rmly in contention going into the nal phase of the race before the Sept. 7 vote in Buenos Aires. The Spanish capital is bidding for a third consecutive time. We have very high hopes indeed, Rajoy said. This time around, Spain is in a really good position. Madrid nished third in the voting for the 2012 Olympics and second for 2016. Rajoy attended those votes in Singapore and Copenhagen, Denmark, when he was leader of the opposition. Rajoy will travel to Argentina straight from the G20 summit in St. Petersburg, Russia, from Sept. 5-6. I am making the effort to go to Buenos Aires because that is the last push, he said. I am delighted to go because I want us to win. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan or President Abdullah Gul is expected to be in Buenos Aires for the Istanbul bid, with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe representing Tokyo. The state of Spains economy had been seen as a major weakness for Madrids bid, with the country facing recession for most of the past four years and an unemployment rate of 27 percent. But Madrid says it already has 80 percent of its Olympic venues in place and would spend only $1.9 billion on construction for the games. The investment necessary to bring off Madrids bid is much less than the other bids, Rajoy said. Spain has already presented two bids. As a result of this process, almost everything needed for the 2020 Olympics is already built, is already up and ready to go. Rajoy cited studies by the International Monetary Fund and other groups showing that Spains economy is on the road to recovery.

Daytona redoes gates,readies for groundbreaking

MASSIVE FAILURE
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) Sixteen cars failed inspection before Thursdays Sprint Cup practice at Daytona International Speedway. NASCAR conscated the teams roof aps, which are designed to keep cars on the ground during spins and wrecks at high speeds, for further inspection. Penalties could be possible. The cars involved included all three Joe Gibbs Racing entries (Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin and Matt Kenseth), all three Roush Fenway Racing entries (Greg Bife, Carl Edwards and Ricky Stenhouse Jr.), all three Michael Waltrip Racing entries (Clint Bowyer, Martin Truex Jr. and Michael Waltrip) and both Roger Penske Racing entries (Joey Logano and defending series champion Brad Keselowski). NASCAR inspectors made teams install new, unaltered roof aps before drivers were allowed on the track for the rst of two practices.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. Daytona International Speedway just completed one project and is about to start another. NASCARs most famous track nished installation of revamped cross-over gates Wednesday, a day before drivers and teams took to the high-banked oval to begin preparations for Saturday nights 400-mile race. The gates were reinforced following a frightening wreck in February that injured nearly 30 spectators. Daytona and Talladega added cables at the crossover gates, which allow fans to move between the grandstands and the ineld before and after races. The tracks also installed supplemental tethers between the gate frame and support posts. I felt before that it was safe place, track president Joie Chitwood III said. Weve been around 55 years and, yes, things happen. But weve done a really good job of giving fans a safe and fun environment. You never stop doing that. One of the eight gates at Daytona collapsed when rookie Kyle Larson crashed on the nal lap of the Nationwide Series race a day before the Daytona 500. Larsons car went airborne, slammed into the fence and spewed debris into the stands. Larson was unharmed, but doz-
ens of fans were taken to hospitals for treatment, including one who was hit by a tire. Daytona spent hours repairing the fence before the 500. After the race, the track hired a structural engineering rm to review the fence and propose improvements. NASCAR also was involved in the process. The next Daytona project is considerably bigger and way more expensive. The 2 1/2-mile speedway is overhauling the frontstretch to enhance the fan experience. International Speedway Corp., which owns Daytona and 12 other NASCAR tracks, estimates the redesign with cost between $375 million and $400 million. The three-year project, scheduled to be completed by January 2016, begins Friday. And it wont have a traditional groundbreaking ceremony.
Chitwood came up with a creative and competitive campaign for the event, called Daytona Rising. He is pitting current and former NASCAR drivers and a crew chief in a driving skills test, a competition on Caterpillar frontend loaders that will give the winning team the honor of breaking ground on the redesign. NASCAR drivers Jeff Burton and Ryan Newman are paired on one team. Fellow drivers Greg Bife and 2011 Daytona 500 winner Trevor Bayne comprise another team. And three-time NASCAR champion Darrell Waltrip and former crew chief Larry McReynolds form the nal team. The teams have to maneuver an obstacle course while carrying items including tires and sand. The event will be treated like real NASCAR races, complete with

driver introductions, the national anthem and a Victory Lane celebration that includes champagne and trophies. I have a lot of input when it comes to doing fun and crazy things, Chitwood said. Maybe its because I was a stunt man. We thought if were going to do this groundbreaking, we need something more than just shovels and a picture. Lets Daytona-style this thing. Im kind of proud of it. This ts NASCAR. This ts
Daytona. Lets not just do a photo with gold-platted shovels. This just feels like NASCAR. Were only going to do this one time in my lifetime, so we want to make sure we get it right. The redevelopment will give Daytonas aging grandstands a modern look and feel. It will include expanded entrances and a series of escalators and elevators to transport fans to three different concourse levels, each featuring spacious and strate-
gically-placed social neighborhoods along the nearly mile-long frontstretch. Those 11 neighborhoods, each measuring the size of a football eld, will allow fans to meet and socialize during events without ever missing any on-track action. The project also includes the removal of backstretch grandstands while wider and more comfortable seating will be installed throughout the frontstretch.
Labonte not ready to consider his future

AP Auto Racing Writer
Jenna Fryer
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. Bobby Labonte has spent his weekends at the race track for 22 consecutive years, a stretch so long he doesnt even know what normal people do with their free time. He had to gure it out the hard way last weekend, when he found himself out of a ride for the rst time since 1989. Labonte gave no specifics Thursday as to how he spent last weekend while AJ Allmendinger raced the No. 47 Toyota that Labonte has piloted since 2011. Ended up staying busy doing something, Labonte said. Obviously wasnt what I thought Id be doing. He didnt watch the race at Kentucky Speedway, where his streak of 704 consecutive Sprint Cup Series starts came to an unwitting end. JTG Daugherty Racing decided to use Allmendinger in the car for a handful of races this year in an attempt for the single-car operation to get more feedback on its car and the overall program. Labonte was able to keep his streak going when the team used Allmendinger at Michigan last month by jumping into Phoenix Racings No. 51 car for the weekend. But he indicated Friday that it was a one-time only deal because of the conict between JTGs Toyota relationship and Phoenixs use of Chevrolets. It put Allmendinger in an awkward position as he doesnt want to be blamed for Labontes streak ending. Its such a tough subject because I am just trying to go out there and do my job, Allmendinger said. They asked me to go out there and drive the car and get a feel for it and give my feedback. Im just trying to give the best feedback I can, and at the end of the weekend, if theyve learned some things, then Ive done my job. Bobby is so wellrespected, hes a champion, and streaks are going
to enjoy what you enjoy. He enjoyed it so much that he found his consecutive start streak second only among active drivers to Jeff Gordons 706 starts mattered a great deal to him when it was suddenly over. It didnt come on his terms, and not racing at Kentucky last weekend marked the rst Cup race without a Labonte in the eld since the October 1978 race at North Carolina Speedway. Older brother Terry Labonte has 884 starts. Well start a new one, I guess. You know its going to end at some point in time, but I was really looking forward to going to Kentucky, he said. You take it one step at a time, you just take it one weekend at a time. Last weekend is over and we started over this weekend. Ill tell you this, there is no way I am going to 704 again. Labonte doesnt know AP photo what hell be doing next Bobby Labonte takes a break during a practice session for the year.

Triangle
From page 1B at 215-plus mph on Thursday. IndyCar made its ofcial return after a lengthy hiatus, and so much has changed except for the leaderboard. Yes, that was an Andretti atop the speed chart for the rst test session. Marco Andretti, a third-generation driver, hit 219.282 mph to lead the 24 cars out to practice for Sundays 400-mile race. Hes taken to this place, from the rst day of practice, Mario Andretti said. Hes had a competitive ride throughout. Its a virtual hometown track for the Andrettis, who hail from nearby Nazareth. Andretti races for his father, Michael, owner of Andretti Autosport. Marco was glad his grandfather, Mario, was around to help navigate the track. Mario won the pole for the 1987 race shortly after Marco was born. Hes there to bounce things off of, Marco said. But he doesnt dictate the way we go. Hes been supportive. Only if Im quickest. Marco Andretti, who also topped the second practice at 220.963, can laugh about it. But he knows how much it would
mean to put the family back in Victory Lane. I think it would be extra special, but I dont think it adds any pressure, Andretti said. The support and everything is greatly appreciated, but theres a lot that has to go right. The return to Pocono is being celebrated as a nod to IndyCars history and tradition. Poconos three corners were designed in 1965 to model corners at Indianapolis, Milwaukee and now-defunct Trenton, and fans have always considered the track an important venue in open wheel racing. Before the rst test in April, Dario Franchitti was the only driver with signicant experience at the track, competing in 2008 during his ill-fated NASCAR stint. The facility has since undergone a multimillion-
dollar renovation that included signicant safety upgrades, and the track was repaved in 2012 offering smooth racing at 200 mph. These cars are bloody quick around here, Franchitti said. Its a tough place to gure out, with three different corners. Wait until we go into trafc. Its going to get really interesting. In bringing Pocono back to the schedule, IndyCar resurrected the Triple Crown challenge, a threerace competition in 2013 for $1 million to the driver that wins the Indianapolis 500, the 400-miler at Pocono and the season nale at Fontana, Calif. A driver who wins two of the three can win a $250,000 bonus from promotion sponsor Fuzzys Vodka. Indy 500 winner Tony Kanaan is eligible for the prize.

Zynga offered CEO $5M carrot

SAN FRANCISCO Struggling Web game maker Zynga gave new CEO Don Mattrick a $5 million signing bonus and stock awards valued at $40 million to lure him away from his previous job overseeing Microsofts Xbox console for video games. Mattricks compensation package also includes a $1 million annual salary and a guaranteed bonus of about $1 million this year, according to a regulatory ling made late Wednesday. Zynga Inc. announced Mattrick would replace company co-founder Mark Pincus as CEO earlier this week, but didnt detail how much its new leader would be paid at that time. Zynga is counting on Mattrick, 49, to reverse a steady string of losses that has caused the companys stock price to plunge 66 percent from its initial public offering price of $10 in late 2011.
Gas prices fall as summer temps rise

plies are ample and U.S. reneries are producing plenty of gas. The national average price of a gallon is $3.48, according to AAA, OPIS and Wright Express. That is 16 cents below its post-Memorial Day high of $3.64 on June 10. For much of the nation, the slide has been gradual. But for some drivers, especially in the Midwest, it has been a rollercoaster ride. Prices shot up there early last month because of renery maintenance work and a re, then plunged after the reneries ramped back up. Patrick Francis, who owns a used-car lot in Toledo, Ohio, lled up his Volvo for $2.89 per gallon over the weekend as he was preparing for a family trip to Hilton Head, S.C. Just three weeks earlier, he was paying more than $4. I feel blessed, he said. Its like a miracle. Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at GasBuddy.com, predicted the national average will hover between $3.30 and $3.60 for the rest of the summer. That would be somewhat lower than the last two summers, when gasoline prices spent part of the season above $3.70 per gallon. Oil prices shot up Wednesday above $101 per barrel, the highest since May 2012, as the crisis in Egypt deepened. Egypt is not a major oil producer but controls the Suez Canal, a major shipping lane for Middle Eastern crude. While analysts are not expecting a resulting surge in gasoline prices, they could rise quickly if the Mideast unrest does disrupt oil supplies. Gas could also climb if a hurricane threatens the heart of the rening industry along the Gulf Coast. This years early summer decline, while welcome, is smaller than the seasonal drops of the last two years, when gas prices also fell between Memorial Day and Independence Day. Gasoline is 15 cents more expensive than it was last year at this time. Gas prices typically rise in late winter or early spring
Egypt? World stocks arent worried
AMSTERDAM World stocks shrugged off worries over political turmoil in Egypt and rallied strongly Thursday on optimism that easy monetary policy from central banks in Europe is set to continue for some time to come. U.S. markets were closed for Independence Day. The biggest gains were in Britain, where the Bank of England surprised markets after its rst monetary policy meeting held under new governor Mark Carney. It said afterward that expectations it would raise rates in coming months were unwarranted, despite the improving economic backdrop.
NEW YORK Gasoline prices are on a summer slide, giving U.S. drivers a break as they set out for the beach and other vacation spots for an extended Fourth of July holiday. The national average for a gallon has fallen for 21 days in a row and is now below $3.50 for the rst time since February. The reason: Oil prices have been relatively stable, and reneries are turning out more gasoline after completing springtime maintenance. The drop might be interrupted temporarily because oil prices spiked Wednesday on fears that the turmoil in Egypt would disrupt the ow of crude in the Mideast. Analysts, however, dont expect a sharp increase at the pump, because global oil sup-

when reneries perform maintenance and switch from making winter gasoline blends to the more complex summer blends required for clean-air rules. When the nations reneries arent operating at full strength, supplies drop and prices rise. Once the maintenance is done, output rises and prices fall.
Regional spikes and plunges are likely to happen more often in coming years. The number of U.S. reneries has shrunk by a quarter since 1993 to 143, but the nations rening capacity has grown 18 percent since then. The remaining reneries are getting bigger, so if one goes down, its a bigger shock to the system.
Murdoch: Tabloid wrongdoing nothing

LONDON Media mogul Rupert Murdoch has been recorded saying wrongdoing by his British newspapers was next to nothing and apparently acknowledging that his reporters paid police ofcers for information. Staffers at two of Murdochs British tabloids have been charged as part of police investigations into phone hacking and bribery spurred by revelations two years ago that his News of the World routinely eavesdropped on the mobile phone voicemails of celebrities, politicians, royals and crime victims. In a tape published in transcript by the ExaroNews journalism website and broadcast Wednesday on Channel 4 News, Murdoch appeared to downplay the seriousness of the scandal and the police investigation. Murdoch is heard saying, its the biggest inquiry ever, over next to nothing.
S. Korea seeks to manufacture deal over factory

Wet weather bad news for N.Y. farms
GLENS FALLS, N.Y. Tom Borden has been haunted lately by an old farmers saying his father used to quote: A dry year will scare you to death; a wet year will starve you to death. Im beginning to think they were right, said Borden, who like many farmers in the region went into this growing season with little in the way of stored feed for his dairy cows. Borden, like most eastern New York farmers, was counting on a good growing season to replenish feed supplies following a drought that struck much of the nation last year. But a wet spring delayed corn planting because elds were too soggy to support heavy machines. Then, a stretch of cool temperatures stunted some of the crop during a critical growing phase. The result in many places is a yellow, stunted crop of varying heights farmers like to see their corn knee-high by the Fourth of July. Hay crops, including alfalfa, have also been affected, as farmers unable to get machines into their elds for rst cuttings are nding the crops overly mature once theyre cut. That means theyll have less nutritional value, and cows may need to have their diets supplemented with expensive, hard-to-nd grain purchased from far-ung regions, Borden said. There are likely to be lasting impacts from the wet weather, too. Because many farmers couldnt get machines onto their elds, they had to forgo fertilization and weed-control efforts that may reduce the quality of later-season crops.
SEOUL, South Korea South Koreas government said Thursday that it has reached out to North Korea to discuss restarting a jointly run factory park after weeks of testy silence between the two sides. The industrial complex in the North Korean city of Kaesong, just north of the Demilitarized Zone dividing the two Koreas, has been shut since a political showdown in April. As South Korea held military exercises with the U.S. not far from the border, North Korea pulled its 53,000
workers in protest. South Korea then ordered its managers to leave as well, against their wishes. The closing of Kaesong, the centerpiece of joint projects hatched during a previous era of warming ties between the wartime foes, dealt a symbolic blow to reconciliation efforts between the divided Koreas. The project, which facilitated nearly $2 billion a year in cross-border trade, had been the last joint project left as relations soured over the past ve years. The closure also meant a loss of salary for tens of thousands of North Korean workers employed in hundreds of South Korean-run factories, and a loss of goods and orders for business managers who relied on Kaesong to churn out everything from shoes and watches to cables and electrical com-
ponents. On Thursday, South Korea said it proposed holding working-level talks with North Korean ofcials in the truce village of Panmunjom inside the DMZ. Seoul wants to set the grounds for discussions on restarting the idled factory park, as well as ways to manage the facilities and goods that South Korean businesses left behind. South Korea proposed holding talks Saturday and said it would send three delegates, the Unication Ministry said. There was no immediate response from Pyongyang. However, on Wednesday, North Korea responded to a plea from South Korean business managers seeking to visit Kaesong to move their goods and equipment out of the park.
The business managers specializing in machinery and electronics production at Kaesong said they want to move their gear out due to worries of damage from the July rainy season, the South Korean government said. Pyongyang previously had refused the South Koreans permission to cross the border into Kaesong to check on their idled factories. The two Koreas had tried last month to hold talks on Kaesong and other stalled projects at Mount Kumgang on North Koreas east coast. The talks in Seoul would have been the rst senior -level meeting in years. But the plans broke down over a protocol issue. The Korean Peninsula has remained in a technical state of war since 1953, when Korean War foes signed an armistice to end three years of ghting.
Obamacare delay raises eyebrows US rate on 30-year mortgage

Decision to postpone key part of law has some wondering if more changes are coming.
Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar anonymity, wo u l d n t rule out delays or tweaks to other provisions. T h e Obama W h i t e House action means that some companies that would have offered health insurance next year to avoid nes will not do so now. Theyre mainly rms with many low-wage workers, such as restaurants, hotels and temporary staffing companies. The workers, however, will still be able to get coverage. Many might qualify for subsidized insurance through new marketplaces to debut Oct. 1, less than three months away. The fact that new problems are popping up at this late stage could be a sign of additional troublesome issues ahead. It underscores a recent warning by the Government Accountability Ofce that the timely and smooth rollout of the new insurance markets cant be guaranteed, partly because much of the technology to run them hasnt been fully tested. The timing of the announcement was also widely mentioned. Its understandable that when you announce a change in the law just before the Fourth of July holiday, it raises questions, said Drew Altman, president of the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation. Critics will jump on it and use it as more ammunition against the law. The foundation is a research group that has closely followed the evolution of the health law since it was signed in 2010. The development was seen as noteworthy by both critics and allies of the new law. We are concerned that the delay further erodes the coverage that was envisioned, said Rich Umbdenstock, president of the American Hospital Association, which has supported the Affordable Care Act.

WASHINGTON The sudden delay of a major part of President Barack Obamas historic health care overhaul is raising questions about other potential problems lurking in the homestretch. The requirement that many employers provide coverage is only one part of a complex law. But its one-year postponement has taken administration allies and adversaries alike by surprise. White House ofcials said Wednesday that the delay was rm and wont be extended after a year and that the overhaul will still be fully implemented by the time Obama leaves ofce. But the ofcials, who were not authorized to discuss internal deliberations on the record and spoke only on condition of
WASHINGTON Average U.S. rates on xed mortgages fell this week after last weeks surge. The declines could prompt homebuyers to act quickly before rates rise further. Freddie Mac said Wednesday that the average on the 30-year loan dropped to 4.29 percent. Thats down from 4.46 percent last week, the highest in two years and a full point more than a month ago. The average on the 15-year mortgage fell to 3.39 percent, down from 3.50 percent last week the highest since August 2011. Mortgage rates jumped last week after the Federal Reserve signaled it could slow its monthly bond purchases later this year if the economy keeps improving. The bond purchases have kept long-term interest rates down, making mortgages and other consumer loans cheaper. A pullback by the Fed would likely send rates higher. Despite the gains, mortgages are still low by historical standards. Low mortgage rates have helped fuel a housing recovery that has kept the economy growing modesty. In May, completed sales of previously occupied homes surpassed the
5 million mark for the rst time in 3 years. And those sales could rise further in June because the number of people who signed contracts to buy homes rose last month to the highest level since December 2006. Theres generally a one- to two-month lag between a signed contract and a completed sale. Greater demand, along with a tight supply of homes for sale, has driven up home prices. Its also led to more home construction, which has created more jobs and contributed to economic growth. To calculate average mortgage rates, Freddie Mac surveys lenders across the country at the beginning of the week. The average doesnt include extra fees, known as points, which most borrowers must pay to get the lowest rates. One point equals 1 percent of the loan amount. The average fee for a 30-year mortgage was 0.7 point this week, down from 0.8 last week. The fee for a 15-year loan was also 0.7 point, also down from 0.8 last week. The average rate on a one-year adjustable-rate mortgage remained unchanged at 2.66 percent, the same as last week. The fee was 0.4 point, down from 0.5 point last week.

NOTICE OF OWNER'S RIGHTS YOU MAY BE ABLE TO PREVENT THIS SHERIFF'S SALE To prevent this Sheriff's Sale you must take immediate action: 1. The sale will be cancelled if you pay back to HSBC Bank USA, N.A., as Indenture Trustee for the registered Noteholders of Renaissance Home Equity Loan Trust 2006-3, the amount of the judgment plus costs or the back payments, late charges, costs, and reasonable attorneys fees due. To find out how much you must pay, you may call :(610)278-6800. 2. You may be able to stop the sale by filing a petition asking the Court to strike or open the judgment, if the judgment was improperly entered. You may also ask the Court to postpone the sale for good cause. 3. You may be able to stop the sale through other legal proceedings. 4. You may need an attorney to assert your rights. The sooner you contact one, the more chance you will have of stopping the sale. (See notice below on how to obtain an attorney.) YOU MAY STILL BE ABLE TO SAVE YOUR PROPERTY AND YOU HAVE OTHER RIGHTS EVEN IF THE SHERIFF'S SALE DOES TAKE PLACE 5. If the Sheriff's Sale is not stopped, your property will be sold to the highest bidder. You may find out the price bid by calling (610)278-6800. 6. You may be able to petition the Court to set aside the sale if the bid price was grossly inadequate compared to the value of your property. 7. The sale will go through only if the buyer pays the Sheriff the full amount due in the sale. To find out if this has happened you may call (570)825-1543. 8. If the amount due from the buyer is not paid to the Sheriff, you will remain the owner of the property as if the sale never happened. 9. You have a right to remain in the property until the full amount due is paid to the Sheriff and the Sheriff gives a deed to the buyer. At that time, the buyer may bring legal proceedings to evict you. 10. You may be entitled to a share of the money, which was paid for your house. A schedule of distribution of the money bid for your house will be filed by the Sheriff no later than thirty days after the Sheriff Sale. This schedule will state who will be receiving the money. The money will be paid out in accordance with this schedule unless exceptions (reasons why the proposed distribution is wrong) are filed with the Sheriff within ten (10) days after the date of filing of said schedule. 11. You may also have other rights and defenses or ways of getting your house back, if you act immediately after the sale. YOU SHOULD TAKE THIS PAPER TO YOUR LAWYER AT ONCE. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A LAWYER OR CANNOT AFFORD ONE, GO TO OR TELEPHONE THE OFFICE LISTED BELOW TO FIND OUT WHERE YOU CAN GET LEGAL HELP.
