NOXEN TWP. The Wyoming County coroner has released the names of the pilot and four passengers killed over the weekend when the Robinson R66 helicopter they were ying in crashed in a mountainous, wooded area of Wyoming County. Wyoming County Coroner Thomas Kukuchka identied the deceased as Bernard Michael Kelly, 58, of Ellicott City, Md.; his daughter, Leanna Mee Kelly, 27, of Savage, Md.; David Ernest Jenny Jr., 31, of Towson, Md.; Carl Robert Woodland, 29, of Lovettsville, Va.; and his son, Noah Robert McKain Woodland, 3, of Leesburg, Va. The causes of death for all ve were multiple traumatic injuries, Kukuchka said. The aircraft they were in was ying to the Jake Arner Memorial Airport in Lehighton from the Tri Cities Airport in Endicott, N.Y., Saturday night when it lost radar and communication contact, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. The wreckage was located at 1:50 p.m. Sunday off an access road to the Mehoopany Wind Farm. The National Transportation

Woodlands attorney assails LCBs action

Conditional licensing agreement called adagger to the heart
elewis@timesleader.com

EDWARD LEWIS

WILKES-BARRE An attorney for the Woodlands Inn and Resort said the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board unfairly targeted the facility that is patronized by thousands of people every weekend to a corner bar. The board on May 1 did not renew the Woodlands liquor license after two days of hearings in November. In an attempt to show the boards alleged bias and to conSee CRASH | 10A tinue to serve alcohol, the rst

of three scheduled days of testimony began Monday before Luzerne County Judge Richard Hughes in an appeal led by the Woodlands. Attorney Richard Bishop said the board used 47 police-related incidents at the resort dating back to the mid 1980s in its decision not to renewal the liquor license. Bishop said the resort has been operating under a conditional licensing agreement reached with the board in October 2011. Any reports and concerns about unruly patrons should have

been raised by the board before the conditional agreement was signed, he said. Bishop called the conditional licensing agreement a dagger to the heart, and since the agreement has been in place, there have been no violations of the state liquor code. He said the resort is patronized by thousands of people and for the board to compare it to Joes Bar on a corner is unfair. The agreement called for mandating employees to attend gangawareness training, installation of 44 surveillance cameras and

enforcement of a patron dress code. Bishop said the resort has gone above the agreement, including the hiring of law enforcement ofcers as security. In a 133-page opinion, the board outlined numerous ghts involving patrons and the overuse of pepper spray by security guards. The record shows that the majority of (the resort) incidents involve assaults and ghts, and the board is disappointed in (the resorts) failure to provide evidence of substantial timely corrective measures to address these incidents, the boards opinion says. It appears that

(the resorts) utilization of pepper spray is its most prevalent vehicle to deal with incidents; however, this is a reactive and not a proactive measure. Plains Township police Lt. Richard Lussi, called to testify by Bishop, said he has not received any complaints from township supervisors or neighbors about the resort. He called the resorts surveillance system second to the (Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs) casino. The resort can continue to serve alcohol while the appeal proceeds. It may be several months before Hughes makes a decision on the appeal.

Senate approves James Comey as new FBI director

Associated Press

DETAILS
LOTTERY
DAILY NUMBER - 2-3-6 BIG 4 - 2-4-4-4 QUINTO - 3-2-2-5-0 TREASURE HUNT

ALAN FRAM

WASHINGTON The Senate overwhelmingly conrmed James Comey on Monday to become FBI director, elevating the one-time Justice Department ofcial who deed efforts by President George W. Bushs White House to renew a program that allowed warrantless eavesdropping. Comey was approved 93-1 after one of the Senates leading conservatives abruptly ended delaying tactics that had Comey blocked a vote on the nomination. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., mentioned as a possible 2016 GOP presidential candidate, had been thwarting the vote over his concerns about the FBIs domestic use of drones. Minutes before a showdown vote that seemed likely to force an end to his delays, Paul announced he would allow a vote on Comey, saying hed received a letter from the FBI that answered his questions about drones. That letter said the FBI has seldom used drones and cited Supreme Court rulings that the agency said suggested that court warrants are not needed for aerial surveillance. Paul was the only no vote.

President Barack Obama nominated Comey, 52, in June. He will succeed Robert Mueller, who is stepping down in September after 12 years heading the agency. In the face of ever-changing threats, he has repeatedly demonstrated his commitment to defending Americas security and ideals alike, Obama said in a written statement about Comey. Comey was the Justice Departments No. 2 ofcial from 2003 to 2005 under Bush. He gained attention during a brief stint as acting attorney general in 2004, when he and Attorney General John Ashcroft, who was ill, rejected an effort by White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card and White House counsel Alberto Gonzales to have Justice renew a program that allowed eavesdropping without court warrants of domestic phone calls and emails. With the Obama administration under re following recent revelations about the National Security Agencys collection of records of domestic telephone calls and online communications, that 2004 episode and Comeys credentials of serving under a Republican president helped make him an attractive candidate for the top FBI job. James Comey proved that

his reputation for unwavering integrity and professionalism is well-deserved, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., said during Mondays brief debate. Leahy expressed concerns about Comeys approval in 2005 of a legal memo that he said authorized the use of torture, including waterboarding, in which water is poured onto a suspects face to make them feel like theyre drowning. But Leahy cited Comeys answers at a committee hearing this month, when Comey said the FBI would not allow abusive treatment of prisoners. Comey was praised by the Judiciary Committees top Republican, Iowa Sen. Charles Grassley, who called him a ne choice. Mondays vote led off a week in which majority Democrats were hoping to push a parade of nominations through the chamber. Among them were President Barack Obamas picks of Samantha Power as U.N. ambassador and B. Todd Jones to head the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, for which votes on ending delaying tactics were expected Wednesday. This is Congress last week before its ve-week summer recess. Before rising to Justices sec-

ond-highest job, Comey was a federal prosecutor for 15 years. Paul had threatened for weeks to block Comeys nomination until the FBI reveals more details about its use of drones in the U.S. He had written three letters to the FBI since June, seeking details on the agencys use of drones and the policies it follows in deploying them. The agencys latest response, sent Monday, said the FBI has used drones 10 times since 2006 for surveillance in kidnappings, search and rescue missions, drug and fugitive investigations. Among them was last winters standoff between authorities and Jimmy Lee Dykes, who was shot to death after holding a 5-yearold boy hostage in an underground bunker in Alabama, the letter said. The letter, from Stephen D. Kelly, the FBIs assistant director of congressional affairs, said the agency doesnt use drones for general surveillance unrelated to specic investigations. An earlier FBI letter said none of its drones have been armed. Mondays letter said the FBIs use of drones must comply with constitutional privacy protections and agency guidelines and meet the denition of a reasonable expectation of privacy provided by the Supreme Court. However, the letter said that while the top court has not ruled

on the use of drones, prior rulings on aerial surveillance held that court warrants were not needed because the areas monitored were open to public view and there was no reasonable expectation of privacy, plus no physical trespassing on private property. I disagree with this interpretation, Paul said in a written statement. He said he agreed to allow the Comey vote given the fact that they did respond to my concerns over drone use on U.S. soil. Votes on ending procedural delays against the nominations of Power and Jones were expected Wednesday. Like Mondays initial vote on Comey, supporters will need 60 of the Senates 100 votes to remove those procedural roadblocks. Other Senate conrmation votes planned this week included approval of three Democratic nominees to the ve-member National Labor Relations Board: Mark Gaston Pearce, the boards current chairman, and Kent Hirozawa and Nancy Schiffer, who have both been long-time labor lawyers. Votes also seem likely on two Republican nominations to the NLRB: Chicago attorney Philip A. Miscimarra and Los Angeles lawyer Harry I. Johnson III, who have both worked with employers on labor issues.

GNA School Board awards bus contract

Times Leader Corespondent

SUSAN BETTINGER

NANTICOKE The Greater Nanticoke Area School Board met Monday evening to discuss bids for the districts bus service for the upcoming school year and wound up awarding the contract to a longtime provider, White Transit. Keystone Bus Service withdrew its bid proposal during the meeting. A representative for Keystone stated it would not be fair for the parties involved, and the company did not feel it would be in a position to effectively take over the districtsl transportation program with less than 3 1/2 weeks before the beginning of the new school year. The representative added Keystone and the district have been in discussion since May 17, and the matter could have been resolved at an earlier date. White Transit, which has served the district for the past 25 years, was the remaining bidder. After a lengthy conference, White

Transit and the board came to an agreement. The board approved Whites ve-year contract at the cost of $1,115,977 for the rst year, followed by a 3 percent annual increase for the remainder of the contract period. Also, White will provide 10 new buses. The district will have to reimburse the company for any fuel over the cost of $4 per gallon. The existing cameras will remain on the buses, but any new cameras will have to be paid for by grants given to the school district. Secretary Cindy Donlin said she took a survey of some of the surrounding school districts on their satisfaction with their transportation company on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the highest score. In her ndings, none of the companies received a score greater than 7. Donlin took the same survey with families in the GNA District, and 7 was the lowest score given to White Transit, by any of the participants.

from Congress amid a sexting scandal. The poll which Weiner led just ve days ago also showed about half of likely Democratic voters saying Weiner should abandon his mayoral bid. Weiners support fell from 26 percent last week to 16 percent in Mondays Quinnipiac University poll. Last weeks survey was taken largely before Weiners latest scandal was revealed. Hes in a free-fall, said poll director Maurice Carroll. He cant win. He simply cant win.

Standing side by side with his wife, Weiner admitted last week that he had tawdry online exchanges including X-rated photos with a then-22 year-old Indiana woman after he stepped down from Congress in 2011 over similar behavior. He later said he had similar exchanges with two other women after his resignation. Forty percent of voters said his behavior disqualied him from consideration as a candidate, up from 23 percent last week. The poll of 446 like-

ly Democratic voters shows Weiner trailing City Council Speaker Christine Quinn (27 percent), Public Advocate Bill de Blasio (21 percent) and ex-city comptroller Bill Thompson (20 percent). The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.6 percentage points. In a statement, Weiner said polls dont change anything. But last weeks revelation has seemingly derailed his once-surging mayoral bid, sending him from political punch line to comeback

story and back again. Weiner forged ahead Monday in the face of countless calls including from pundits and powerful members of his own party to step aside. Im going to keep talking about the things important to this city, he said at a campaign stop in Queens. I dont really care if a lot of pundits or politicians are offended by that. Im going to keep doing those things and I think New Yorkers deserve that choice. Im going to let New Yorkers decide.

Pipeline giant putting down roots

JON OCONNELL TUNKHANNOCK Two months ago, Helen Humphreys sat in her cluttered Williams Energy eld ofce downtown in this Wyoming County borough surrounded by exhibit displays and stacks of binders. Outside the room, clerical employees and eld workers shufed around each other in the converted credit union building. Technicians gear and road signs were stacked in corners neatly, but obviously out of place in the former bank. It was not a scene youd expect for an operator of some of the countrys largest pipeline systems. Williams has grown from six employees in Northeastern Pennsylvania to more than 100 in a 2 1/2 years, and the growth has inspired construction of the companys new eld ofce on the outskirts of town, said Mike Dickinson, a Williams operations manager. Humphreys, a strategic outreach coordinator for the company, kicked off a ceremonial groundbreaking Monday to announce Williams new 30,000-square-foot eld ofce to be completed by spring 2014. This is a celebration for us, she said. Its been a long-time coming. The building, to be located just before Stony Mountain Road on northbound state Route 29, is to have 22,000 square feet for ofces and another 7,500 square feet of staging space for employees preparing for eld work. Itll be exciting to have everybody in one place, Dickinson said. Geographically, the building sits in a strategic place for Williams northeastern work, Dickinson said. A recent longterm agreement with Cabot Oil & Gas, a drilling company that holds most of its gas leases in nearby Susquehanna County, and future planned endeavors all may be better piloted from the Wyoming County ofce, Dickinson said. Jim Rogers of Bear Creek designed the building and said that as far as square footage goes, its been his Dalton practices largest project yet. Milnes Companies of Tunkhannock is Williams general contractor in Northeastern Pennsylvania and is to oversee the construction to completion. The pre-design plans were completed last fall and they have been working on building permits until now. All thats left is to start building, Rogers said. The new construction will not bring new jobs immediately. Dickinson said that with employees spread all over the northeast, the building will be

Commission hiking Turnpike tolls

The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission announced Monday that a 2-percent toll-rate increase for E-ZPass customers and a 12-percent increase for cash customers is to take effect Jan. 5. The extra revenue is needed for the commission to meet its $450 million obligation to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and to continue reconstruction of the antiquated roadway system, the commission said. PennDOT uses the money to rebuild bridges and highways, and to support public transportation. The commission also plans to convert the four-lane highway to a six-lane highway. E-ZPass costs $38 to register; however, $35 of that money is immediately available for paying tolls. Customers must pay an annual $3 fee. E-ZPass customers pay less because electronic toll collection is cheaper than paying tollbooth attendants. Since more than 70 percent of our customers pay with E-ZPass today, most customers are taking advantage of these lower rates, said commission Chief Executive Mark Compton. The rate increase marks the 11th time the commission has raised toll rates.

DALLAS TWP. Beware of a S.C.A.M. That was the message for seniors and their caregivers Monday as state Attorney General Kathleen G. Kane, area legislators and members of the Elder Abuse Task Force of Luzerne and Wyoming Counties gathered at Misericordia University to discuss strategies for preventing older people from becoming the victims of abuse, including scams to separate them from their money. Advocates have turned the word scam into an acronym to underscore the key points for seniors to watch for whenever they are presented with a deal that sounds too good to be true: sudden, contact, act immediately and money. The number-one type we see is the sweepstakes or lottery scam, said Kane spokeswoman Carolyn E. Myers, describing solicitations in which seniors are asked to submit money or account information to claim some kind of cash prize. The bottom line is, as quickly as we shut one down, another one pops up, added state Rep. Phyllis Mundy, D-Kingston. People are immensely creative in terms of how they try to bilk other people out of the money theyve saved. Trula Hollywood, executive director of the Area Agency on Aging for Luzerne and Wyoming Counties, agreed. They are very prevalent. Scams can show up in peoples mail boxes

several times a week, Hollywood said. Pennsylvanias elderly Pennsylvania has the third highest percentage of elderly residents in the country, with nearly 2 million residents over the age of 65, according to Kanes ofce. Locally, 24 percent of Luzerne County residents and 23 percent of Wyoming County residents are 60 or older, meaning that such issues have a signicant ripple effect across the region, Hollywood said. I can say that a great number of the cases we see have to do with nancial exploitation, she added. Her agency handles about 50 cases of various types each month. Experts suspect the actual number could be much higher, as some victims may not report scams or abuse, wary that their competence will be questioned and their independence taken away. For others, there is the shame of admitting that they allowed themselves to be taken in by a smoothtalking salesperson, contractor or other scam artist. It happens to people regardless of their socio-economic class or intelligence, and theyre embarrassed by it, Hollywood said. Emotional pitches Other scammers prey on victims by tugging at their heartstrings. Someone may call the person and pretend to be a grandchild or another relative, saying theyve been in an accident, or theyre in the hospital or they need to be bailed out of jail, Hollywood said. And they

And then there cases in which a family member or caregiver responsible for managing an older persons nances abuses the privilege and helps him or herself to cash or other valuables, Mundy said doubly traumatic when the perpetrator is the only person to whom the victim feels they can turn for care.

WILKES-BARRE The girlfriend of a man found dead in his Hazle Township home in September 2011 invoked her Fifth Amendment right Monday at a rare coroners inquest trial being held in Luzerne County. Matthew Ryan Gailie, 34, was found dead in his Muskegan Circle home in Eagle Rock from a single gunshot wound to the face on Sept. 3, 2011. Gailie was a corrections ofcer for the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections. A jury of six men and women and two alternates was selected Monday morning to determine the manner of death in which Gailie died: suicide, homicide, accident or undetermined. The Luzerne County District Attorneys Ofce coordinated the trial, which is being presided over by acting county Coroner Bill Lisman. After hearing testimony, the jury will deliberate to determine Gailies manner of death. The inquest is the rst to happen in the last 17 years, and is a Lisman proceeding that allows Lisman, the jurors and any attorney present to ask a witness questions unlike a regular criminal or civil trial. Assistant District Attorney Dan Zola called witnesses to testify, including Gailies livein girlfriend, Jessica Alinski. Her attorney, Gary Marchalk, of Tamaqua, said Alinski, 29, was invoking her Fifth Amendment right. The constitutional right protects citizens against possible self-incrimination. Testimony in the inquest will continue this morning in Courtroom B. Alinskis statements But, through the testimony of state police, a recorded interview with police and a 911 call, jurors would hear from Alinski throughout the day. Neighbors who live near Gailies home testied to hearing reworks and a gunshot around 11:30 p.m. In a lengthy 911 call, Alinski is heard screaming and sobbing that she heard a pop while upstairs in the couples home and came down to nd Gailie bloody and laying on the oor. Alinski told the 911 dispatcher the two had an argument, and Gailie shot himself in the head. Alinski also pleaded with the 911 dispatcher to send help, told the dispatcher there are large amounts of blood and that Gailie is not breathing. State Trooper John Chulock said he was the rst to arrive at Gailies home, and he saw Alinski covered from head to toe in blood and Gailie lying on the oor with a gun in his left hand, even though, police testied, Gailie was right-handed. Chulock said there were a number of unusual circumstances surrounding Gailies body: his nger was on the trigger, there was blood on the gun, blood on a nearby couch and blood spatter under a table. There was denitely something wrong, Chulock said. The scene had been manipulated. Chulock testied Alinski had told a number of stories to police over a two-hour period. Trooper John Corrigan also testied Alinski had inconsistencies in her stories and that evidence was moved inside the home. A shell casing from a 9mm handgun was rolled up in a blanket and placed on the couch, Corrigan said, and blood and foot prints were found in a nearby bathroom. Corrigan also testied he saw a broken photo frame with a photo of the couple on top of the garbage in the kitchen. (Its) indicative that their relations was in the trash, Corrigan said. Alinski had told police the two had a rocky relationship that included physical and verbal ghts, and that Gailie has pointed a gun at himself and Alinski a number of times. Its just something I got used to, Alinski told police in a recorded interview.

PHILADELPHIA

A row house collapse Monday severely damaged neighboring houses and hurt eight people, including a baby and a critically injured contractor. The collapse happened shortly after 11 a.m. at an unoccupied home being remodeled in the middle of a south Philadelphia street lined with connected two-story brick homes. The contractor was working in the basement of the destroyed home, police said. Bricks showered onto the small street and nearly covered a car parked out front. The houses on either side of the destroyed home were standing but badly damaged, with large sections of their masonry walls gone. Gas and electrical utility crews were on the scene trying to determine what caused the collapse, while rescue crews combed through the rubble for victims.

TRAPPES, France Riots broke out over a full-face Islamic veil. A woman may have lost her unborn baby in another confrontation over her face covering. Tensions ared over a supermarket chains ad for the end-of-day feast for the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Frances enforcement of its prized secularism is inscribed in law, most recently in a ban on wearing full-face veils in public. Meant to ensure that all faiths live in harmony, the policy instead may be fueling a rising tide of Islamophobia and driving a wedge between some Muslims and the rest of the population. Yet ardent defenders of secularism, the product of Frances separation of church and state, say the country hasnt gone far enough. They want more teeth to further the cause that Voltaire helped inspire and Victor Hugo championed, this time with a law targeting headscarves in the work place. A new generation of French

Muslims which at about 5 million, or about eight percent of the population, is the largest in Western Europe is nding a growing voice in a nation not always ready to accommodate mosques, halal food and Muslim religious dress. Political pressure from a resurgent far-right has increased the tension. Women who wear Muslim apparel are no longer safe, said Mohera Lukau, a 26-year-old mother of three living in Trappes, a town south of Paris known for its large immigrant population, high unemployment and women who wear long robes or hide their faces behind veils. Police clashed last week with crowds protesting the arrest of a man who allegedly attacked an ofcer after his wife was ticketed for veiling her face in public. Dozens of cars were set are in two nights of unrest in Trappes and an adjoining town. A 14-year-old boy suffered an eye injury. Weeks earlier, a man allegedly assaulted a pregnant woman and ripped off her

veil one of two separately accosted in the Paris suburb of Argenteuil. She lost her baby days later, although the link with the incident remains unclear. Insults have been unleashed on women wearing Muslim headscarves, with investigations or court cases in three attacks in Reims and three more in Orleans. Interior Minister Manuel Valls has denounced a rise of violence against the Muslims of France. At a dinner breaking the Ramadan fast at the Grand Mosque of Paris, he insisted that Islam and the French Republic are compatible. But he signaled the belief by some French people that Muslims want their own rules, denouncing those who want to make France a land of conquest. Most French people are baptized Catholic, but church attendance has been in decline for decades and secular ideals run deep. With the growth of Frances Muslim population, lawmakers have increasingly turned to legislation to try to stie public displays of Islamic faith.

Green paint has been found splattered on another Washington landmark the National Cathedral. U.S. Park police are also investigating the discovery of green paint on the statue of Joseph Henry, outside the headquarters of the Smithsonian Institution. Park police are not sure whether the vandalism is connected. At the cathedral, the paint was strewn over the organ console in Bethlehem Chapel, the oldest portion of the cathedral, which was completed in 1912. On Friday, green paint was found on the Lincoln Memorial on the National Mall. Crews are still working to remove the paint.

An Italian tour bus plowed through cars, crashed through the side wall of a highway bridge and plunged into a ravine, killing at least 38 people, authorities said Monday. Rescuers wielding electric saws cut through the twisted wreckage of the bus looking for survivors overnight, and state radio quoted a local police chief as saying the bus driver was among the dead. The bus lost control near the town of Monteforte Irpino in Irpinia, a largely agricultural area about 40 miles inland from Naples and about 160 miles south of Rome, hitting several cars before plunging 100 feet off a viaduct on Sunday night. It was not immediately clear why the bus driver lost control of the vehicle, but prosecutors were investigating technical problems and had ordered an autopsy on the driver.

ROME

New Zealand on Monday disputed a newspaper report saying its military conspired with U.S. spy agencies to monitor a freelance journalist in Afghanistan, a report that has provoked concerns over how surveillance programs revealed by National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden might be used to spy on reporters. The New Zealand government said Monday there is no evidence to support a report in the Sunday Star-Times newspaper that the military was assisted by the United States in monitoring the phone data of journalist Jon Stephenson, a New Zealander working for the U.S.-based McClatchy news organization. The report is the rst indication that the NSAs techniques may have been used to spy on a journalist. It challenges U.S. claims that the NSA programs were not used to target specic individuals, but rather to compile large pools of usage data.

Nation disputes spying on journalist

WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND

ABOARD THE PAPAL AIRCRAFT Pope Francis reached out to gays, saying he wont judge priests for their sexual orientation in a remarkably open and wide-ranging news conference Monday as he returned from his rst foreign trip. If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge? Francis asked. We shouldnt marginalize people for this. They must be integrated into society. Francis predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI, signed a document in 2005 that said men who had deep-rooted homosexual tendencies should not be priests. Francis was much more conciliatory in his rst news conference as pope, saying gay clergymen should be forgiven and their sins forgotten. The comments did not signal any change in church policy. Catholic teaching still holds that homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered. But they indicated a shift in tone under Francis young papacy and an emphasis on a church that is more inclusive and merciful rather than critical and disciplinary. Francis also said he wanted a greater role for women in the church, though he insisted that they cannot become priests. He was funny and candid during the 82 minutes he spent with journalists on board the plane returning from Brazil. He didnt dodge a single question, and even thanked the journalist who raised allegations contained in an Italian news magazine that one of his trusted monsignors was involved in a gay tryst. Francis said he investigated the allegations according to canon law and found nothing to back them up. He took journalists to task for reporting on the matter, saying the allegations concerned matters of sin, not crimes like sexually abusing children. And when someone sins and confesses, he said, God not only forgives but forgets. We dont have the right to not forget, he said. Francis was also asked about

reports suggesting that a group of gay clergymen exert undue inuence on Vatican policy. Italian news media reported this year that the allegations of what they call the gay lobby contributed to Benedicts decision to resign. Stressing that Catholic social teaching calls for homosexuals to be treated with dignity and not marginalized,

Francis said he would not condone anyone using private information for blackmail or to exert pressure. A lot is written about this gay lobby. I still havent found anyone at the Vatican who has gay on his business card, Francis said, chuckling. You have to distinguish between the fact that someone is gay and the fact of being in a lobby.

Iraq car bombings kill at least 58

SINAN SALAHEDDIN
Associated Press

BAGHDAD More than a dozen explosions, mainly from car bombs, ripped through marketplaces, parking lots, a cafe and rush-hour crowds in Iraq on Monday, killing at least 58 people and pushing the countrys death toll for the month of July toward the 700 mark, ofcials said. The bombings 18 in all are part of a wave of bloodshed that has swept across the country since April, killing more than 3,000 people and worsening the already strained ties between Iraqs Sunni minority and the Shiite-led government. The scale and pace of the violence, unseen since the darkest days of the countrys insurgency, have fanned

fears of a return to the widespread sectarian bloodletting that pushed Iraq to the brink of civil war after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion. With two days left in July, the months death toll now stands at 680, according to an Associated Press count. Most of those have come during Ramadan, the Muslim holy month of dawnto-dusk fasting that began July 10, making it Iraqs bloodiest since 2007. Iraq is bleeding from random violence, which sadly reached record heights during the holy month of Ramadan, said acting U.N. envoy to Iraq, Gyorgy Busztin. He said the killings could push the country back into sectarian strife, and called for immediate and decisive action to stop

the senseless bloodshed. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for Mondays attacks, but the Interior Ministry blamed al-Qaidas Iraqi branch and accused it of trying to widen the rift between Sunnis and Shiites. The country is now facing a declared war waged by bloody sectarian groups that aim at ooding the country with chaos and reigniting the civil strife, the ministry said in a statement posted on its website. Sunni extremist groups such as al-Qaidas Iraqi branch, known as the Islamic State of Iraq, frequently use coordinated blasts like those on Monday to try to break Iraqis condence in the Shiite-led government and stir up sectarian tensions.

The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad condemned Mondays attacks, and stressed that the United States stands rmly with Iraq in its ght against terrorism. Iraqs violence escalated after an April crackdown by security forces on a Sunni protest camp in the northern town of Hawija that killed 44 civilians and a member of the security forces, according to U.N. estimates. The bloodshed is linked to rising sectarian divisions between Iraqs Sunnis and Shiites as well as friction between Arabs and Kurds, dampening hopes for a return to normalcy nearly two years after U.S. forces withdrew from the country. Mondays attacks stretched from Mosul in the north to Baghdad in central Iraq and Basra in the south.

WASHINGTON Authorities rescued 105 children who were forced into prostitution and arrested 150 pimps and others in a three-day law enforcement sweep in 76 American cities, the FBI said Monday. The victims, almost all girls, range in age from 13 to 17. The largest numbers of children rescued were in San Francisco, Detroit, Milwaukee, Denver and New Orleans. The campaign, known as Operation Cross Country, was conducted under the FBIs Innocence Lost initiative. Child prostitution remains a persistent threat to children across the country, Ron Hosko, assistant director of the bureaus criminal investigative division, told a press conference. The FBI said the campaign has resulted in rescuing 2,700 children since 2003. The investigations and convictions of 1,350 have led to life imprisonment for 10 pimps and the seizure of more than $3.1 million in assets. For the past decade, the FBI has been attacking the problem in partnership with a non-profit group, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. John Ryan, the head of the center, called the problem an escalating threat against Americas children. The Justice Department has estimated that nearly 450,000 children run away from home each year and that one-third of teens living on the street will be lured toward prostitution within 48 hours of leaving home. Congress has introduced legislation that would require state law enforcement, foster care and child welfare programs to identify children lured into sex trafcking as victims of abuse and neglect eligible for the appropriate protections and services. In much of the country today if a girl is found in the custody of a so-called pimp she is not considered to be a victim of abuse, and thats just wrong and dees common sense, Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., said during a Senate Finance Committee hearing last month. Wyden co-sponsored the bill with Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio.

Solicitor : DA-threatened suit notvalid

Salavantis says she hopes to avoid legal action
Pedri said he has reviewed Salavantis published complaints about staffing and believes the litigation shes contemplating filing would be without merit and not based in Pennsylvania law. In addition, should District Attorney Salavantis choose to bring a lawsuit, I personally will defend the county, defraying the need and cost of outside counsel, he wrote. Pedri said the countys home rule charter clearly gives council power and discretion to adopt a budget in the best interest of county citizens, and he wants to ensure council members understand

Luzerne County Council members should not be intimidated by county District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis threat of litigation seeking more budget funds, county Chief Solicitor C. David Pedri said in an email Monday. Whether you choose to raise the DAs budget, keep it the same or lower it, I do not believe you should consider the District Attorneys threat of litigation, or any other meritless threat, in your budget considerations in any way, Pedri told council.

that and are comfortable as they head into 2014 budget discussions. Potential litigation Pedris email was in response to a media statement made by Salavantis that she was contemplating litigation. This is not new. She has been weighing the pros and cons of potential litigation since council passed its 2013 budget last December but has not pulled the trigger. Salavantis said Monday she has not prepared a lawsuit and hopes one is not necessary. I reiterate Im hoping to avoid legal action, but the current state of affairs cannot

continue, she said. Her most pressing concern is the restoration of five assistant district attorney positions that were eliminated when she took office in 2012, she said. The positions would pay around $40,000 each plus benefits, and Salavantis said the administration has refused to consider her request, even partially, despite a steady increase in crime. Im trying to work amicably with the county. A lawsuit isnt necessary. We can work on things together, but the response I continue to receive is a straight no, she said.

Salavantis requested $5.5 million in funds for 2013 and ended up receiving $5 million. She took issue with Pedris correspondence to council, saying, Its an interesting position for any attorney, let alone the county solicitor, to call a potential lawsuit frivolous before reading anything outlining the claim. Salavantis said the county agreed to increase staff in the Public Defenders Office in response to a still-pending budgetary legal challenge filed by former Chief Public Defender Al Flora, and her litigation would be similar. Misleading comparison? But Attorney Kimberly D. Borland, Floras attorney, said the district attorneys comparisons to the Public Defenders Office staffing are very misleading. The Public Defenders Office has a significantly lower $2.7 million budget

and the equivalent of 19 fulltime attorneys, compared to 26 in the District Attorneys Office, he said. Assistant public defenders also must represent defendants facing involuntary mental health commitments and in state parole cases duties not covered by Salavantis office, he said. Assistant public defenders must appear at about 4,000 preliminary hearings annually, compared to 50 to 100 for the District Attorneys Office, he said. The district attorney has a larger clerical/administrative staff, six trial assistants and 10 detectives, while the public defender has no trial assistants and four investigators, he said. We take no position on the district attorneys request for funding, but the comparisons to the Public Defenders Office are just not accurate or apt, Borland said.

WILKES-BARRE A Hazle Township man charged with 59 counts of failing to pay more than $160,000 in taxes for an Arbys Restaurant pleaded guilty to related charges Monday and was sentenced to a year probation. Joseph Bissol, 57, of Evans Street, entered the plea to 39 counts of failure to make required disposition of funds and 20 counts of willful failure to le employer withholding tax returns.

County Judge Michael Vough immediately sentenced Bissol to one year probation. Court records indicate the $165,777 in restitution has already been repaid to the state Department of Revenue. The state Attorney Generals Ofce prosecuted the case. Bissol was represented by attorney Frank Nocito. According to court papers, Bissol worked as the co-owner and cooperator of two Arbys Restaurants, one in Hazle Township and another in Selinsgrove, Snyder

County. The Attorney Generals Ofce began an investigation in 2011 into delinquent periods of taxes to be paid, which revealed $141,424 was due in sales tax and $24,333 was due for employer-withholding tax beginning in February 2010. According to the criminal complaint, Bissol said the Selinsgrove location closed in March 2012. Bissol allegedly told investigators that when he was contacted about delinquencies, he said he did not le sales tax

returns because the business was losing money and he did not have the money at the time. Bissol said he used sales tax money that was collected to keep the business aoat and he did not know it was a criminal offense to not timely le or pay sales

tax returns. Bissol allegedly told investigators the money was used for payroll and food bills, and he discussed it with his brothers, with whom he works, but it was his decision to use the collected sales tax money instead of remitting it to the state.

WILKES-BARRE A man who suffered a gunshot wound in May was arrested Sunday after police allege they found crack cocaine and a gun in a Scott Street residence. Police said Erick Mondelice, 23, was prohibited from possessing a .9mm handgun due to a robbery conviction. The gun, ammunition, two plastic bags of marijuana, a bag of crack cocaine and a bag of methamphetamine were allegedly found inside 150 Scott St. on Sunday when police investigated a domestic ght involving Mondelice. Mondelice was sen-

tenced in July 2011 to six to 23 months in the Luzerne County Correctional Facility after he pleaded guilty to his role in the robbery of a man at gunpoint on North Main Street, Wilkes-Barre, in May 2010. Police said Mondelice suffered a gunshot wound on May 17 and was very uncooperative with police when he walked into Wilkes-Barre General Hospital. No charges have been led in the shooting. Mondelice was arraigned Monday by District Judge Martin Kane on three counts of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, and one count each of simple assault,

harassment and illegal possession of a rearm. He was jailed at the county prison for lack of $100,000 bail. Police said they investigated a domestic ght at the Scott Street residence at about 10:50 a.m. A woman told them Mondelice slammed her head against a wall, according to the criminal complaint. Mondelice said the woman injured her head when she slipped and fell during a struggle over a laptop computer. Police allege they found the suspected drugs and gun in a garbage bag lled with Mondelices clothing, the complaint says. A preliminary hearing is scheduled Thursday.

Bail for man in sexual assault case back at $100K

sdelazio@timesleader.com

SHeeNA DelAZio

WILKES-BARRE A judge on Monday returned the bail of a man facing sexual assault charges in Michigan and Luzerne County to $100,000 after he posted a lower bail amount last week and was

released from jail. David Zarn, 46, appeared before County Judge Lesa Gelb, who said Zarns bail would return to an original $100,000, and that Zarn if Zarn posted 10 percent of that $10,000 he could be released

from the county prison but must wear an electronic monitor. Zarn had not posted bail as of late Monday. Zarn faces charges in connection to allegations he sexually assaulted the

same two girls for period of time in Michigan and then in Mountain Top. Deputy District Attorney Alexis Falvello argued Monday that Zarn should remain in prison until he faces charges in Michigan because he faces up to life in prison there if convicted.

Falvello also argued Zarn is not permitted to withdraw his request to waive his extradition a request made on Friday because he made a knowing and voluntary waiver. (Zarn) is not permitted to withdraw his waiver because he didnt get

his way, Falvello said. You cannot go back on it. Zarns attorney, Joseph Sklarosky Sr., said his client has maintained his innocence from the beginning, and that he is certain a life sentence in Michigan is out of the question. Falvello said it is likely the Michigan case will be completed before the Luzerne County case, which is set to go to trial in November. We all know that if hes

convicted in Michigan, hes not going to get life in prison, Sklarosky said, adding Zarn does not have any prior criminal record. Especially after they hear all the evidence (in the case). Gelb ultimately said she would accept additional court papers on the extradition matter, and set Zarns bail at $100,000. She said if the bail amount is posted, Zarn must wear an electronic monitor and cannot have any contact with minors.

WILKES-BARRE A trial scheduled to be held this week for ve state prison inmates charged with causing a riot at the State Correctional Institution at Dallas in 2010 will be held sometime later this year. The ve men appeared before Luzerne County Judge Lesa Gelb. They were scheduled to stand trial in the case in which police said the men covered and tied their cell doors and had to be removed from their cells in the prisons restrictive housing unit. But, after a delay regarding the inmates les not being available to them at the courthouse, the ve men whose trials were to be held collectively asked for individual trials. Gelb scheduled a pretrial hearing for September for matters to be discussed before a trial date is set. Derrick Stanley, 43, Anthony Locke, 34, Andre Jacobs, 31, Carrington Keys, 32, and Duane Peters, 41, claim they were being

retaliated against after civil complaints and complaints with several other agencies were led against several corrections ofcers. They said they attempted to get the attention of prison guards to talk about the injustices they were receiving. Stanley, Locke, Jacobs and Keys represent themselves in the case with the assistance of stand-by counsel. Last week, prosecutors in the case led court papers requesting that any evidence, including videos, of cell extractions of the men not be used in the trial because the evidence is inadmissible because it is irrelevant. Assistant district attorneys Jim McMonagle and Tom Hogans also asked that the men be precluded from presenting a justication defense or that their actions served a legitimate purpose. The prosecutors also asked that previous testimony of Jacobs, Peters and Keys be used at the time of the trial.

Scranton
From page 1A I didnt care a thing about becoming president, Scranton said in a 2008 interview with The Times Leader. I knew I couldnt win it. Scranton said he had concerns about Goldwater and the future of the Republican Party and worried it would become the party of white supremacy. His last-minute foray into the race he didnt enter until June went a long way to reshaping the Republican Party. It is impossible to consider the short-lived Scranton campaign as a serious exercise in politics; but as an exercise in gallantry it may have saved the soul of the Republican Party, Theodore H. White wrote in his book The Making of the President, 1964. A popular governor who was skilled in public relations, Scranton took advantage of a strong economy to reform the Pennsylvania Civil Service, double spending on education and increase the state sales tax from 4 percent to 5 percent. State spending increased by 38 percent during his administration. Scranton, whose ancestors established vast holdings in iron, coal and railroads during the 19th century, was appointed ambassador to the United Nations in 1976 by President Gerald Ford. He served about 10 months in the post. Though his family was among the wealthiest in the region, money in politics was not something Scranton thought should have had such a role. have four children. The oldest of their three sons, Bill Scranton, served as lieutenant governor under Gov. Dick Thornburgh for eight years. The younger Scranton ran for governor in 1986 but lost to Democrat Robert P. Casey. He ran again in 2006 but dropped out of the primary amid growing support for former Pittsburgh Steelers star Lynn Swann, who won the Republican nod but lost the general election to Democratic Gov. Ed Rendell. Caseys son, U.S. Sen. Robert P. Casey Jr., also of Scranton, commented on Scrantons passing Monday. Today we pause to remember the life of an extraordinary public servant, Gov. William W. Scranton. Gov. Scranton served his home area, our commonwealth and our country with distinction and with honor, said Casey. As a congressman and as governor, he prioritized education, economic development and job creation. Long after he left public ofce, he continued to devote his considerable skills and energy to helping and promoting Northeastern Pennsylvania and serving the nation in signicant appointments that focused on difcult domestic and international issues . The man now residing in the governors mansion ordered state ags to y at half staff until Scrantons funeral. Gov. Scranton was a world-class leader in government. He will be remembered as a man of humility, honesty, dignity and integrity, Gov. Tom Corbett said. Jim Burn, the chairman of the states Democratic Party, also praised the lasting legacy of Scranton saying, His commitment to improving education and fostering economic development has helped generations of Pennsylvanians. Scranton often said his hero was Abraham Lincoln and he shared many of the Civil War presidents ideals. During the 2008 Time Leader interview, Barack Obama was a presidential candidate who gave Scranton a source of pride in how far the nation has come since the days when he ran for president and segregation was still a fact in some parts of the country. I think the country has come a long, long way from the days of slavery to today with a black man running for president, Scranton said at the time. Ive always hoped that America would be the leader in freedom for people. I think it wants to be that and it can be. Information from the Associated Press was used in this story.

Former Gov. Bill Scranton holds his granddaughter Caity as he and his son, Bill Scranton III, celebrate their birthdays at a combined fundraising dinner and birthday party at Elk Mountain Ski Lodge on July 18, 1986. His son was running for governor at the time.

Money is at the root of politics and government these days, Scranton said in the 2008 interview, and lobbyists have deep pockets and too much inuence. In a republic, the people run the country, not money and corporations, he said. Money has made us a tyranny. Although Scranton and his wife spent much of their time in California in recent years, they also have a home in Waverly. They

So You Have Been Diagnosed with BREAST CANCER Now What?

Ask questions, lots of questions. For starters, you need to choose a surgeon. A credentialed Breast Surgeon. Anything or anyone short of that, in my view is less than comprehensive in the total care of the breast. Breast Surgery is a specialty which requires many years of training, as well as many hours of testing and study in order to meet the rigorous criteria mandated by the American Society of Breast Surgeons (ASBS), in order to be CERTIFIED. Certification in Breast Ultrasound, Stereotactic Needle Biopsies of the breast and proficiency in Breast Surgery Techniques are vital in an effort to offer complete, comprehensive treatment to patients. So, is your choice for a surgeon important? Does documented certification and experience matter? YOU BET IT DOES! Information is power. Information is the ability to make the best choices. In keeping with his pioneering spirit and ever increasing thirst for knowledge, Certified Breast Surgeon, Dr. Louis Blaum, Jr. of BLAUM Breast Care Specialist, LLC continues to lead the field in offering the best comprehensive treatments and technological advancements to his patients in the Wyoming Valley and surrounding areas. BRACHY THERAPY is one of those technological advancements. It is used for patients who need radiation treatment to their breast. The beauty of this treatment option is that instead of the usual 6 weeks for traditional breast radiation, with Brachy Therapy it is 5 days. Radiation is administered by the radiation doctors to the effected breast, through a balloon catheter, which is inserted in the breast by Dr. Blaum, in our office. Although not all breast cancer patients will qualify. For those patients that need a lumpectomy or partial mastectomy and meet the necessary criteria, it is an encouraging treatment option. Dr. Blaum is accepting new patients and new patient referrals. Please contact his office at 570-714-3911 should you have any breast treatment concerns, or need a second opinion. Office hours by appointment. PEACE OF MIND...VICTORY thru FAITH and COURAGE. One Patient at a Time.

Breast Cancer, words no one wants to hear, but those who have, there is a new procedure, to recieve your Radiation Therapy. The Contura MLB Brachy Therapy Catheter. Simply put it cuts the radiation therapy from 5 days a week for 6 or 7 weeks to 2 times a day for 5 days. Of course there are restrictions but if you qualify, the procedure is easy. After lumpectomy surgery the balloon catheter is inserted in the cavity. Radiation is delivered through the catheter and does not touch your skin (inside or outside). No chance of burns, or skin irritation. It takes minutes for your therapy and after 5 days the balloon catheter is removed. The incision is small and visually covered with a band aid. You can also carry on as usual, the catheter does not limit activity, nor ability to wear clothing. If you survive the lumpectomy, this procedure is far less than that. Early detection is the key, dont wait as you may miss the opportunity to try this procedure. - Jennie Henderson

SERVING THE PUBLIC TRUST SINCE 1881

Tuesday, July 30, 2013 PAGE 9A

Editorial

The Irem Temple auditorium as it looked in 2006.

File Photo/The Times Leader

OUR OPINION: IRem TemPle

Temple of dreams or temple doomed?

Right now you can lean casually against Wilkes-Barres Irem Temple and watch the demolition of the Hotel Sterling. You can feel the brick and mortar of one iconic landmark still intact while watching the dust rise as heavy equipment smashes the masonry of another into rubble. The differences of the two are substantial: The Sterling housed numerous generic guest rooms and a few grand spaces that served as backdrops for countless memories, but the outside was a relatively banal box. The Temple is almost all grand space inside that may have helped create fewer memories, but boasts a striking Moorish exterior unmatched by anything else the city or, indeed, Luzerne County, has. The loss of the Sterling may have profound emotional impact on many, but visually it can be replaced with something better. The Irem Temple, in contrast, is architecturally distinct and inimitable. For proof, consider the page 1A story on Mondays Times Leader, which noted two French photographers seeking access to it. Dont ask me how the Irem Temple got on their radar screen in Paris, said Ross McCarty, the former vice-president of real estate for the Temples current owner, The Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Business and Industry. In that role, McCarty sought money for the preservation of the structure, and he continues to do so after leaving the chamber. The interest of French photographers in our minaret-adorned structure speaks volumes. They live in a country brimming with history and architectural gems. People ock from around the world to see things like the Eiffel Tower or the Notre Dame Cathedral. They need merely cross national borders, rather than an ocean, to see countless more renowned landmarks. Yet they ask to come to Luzerne County, to Wilkes-Barre, to view a building we seem unable to draw up the will to save. In hindsight, the real tragedy of the Hotel Sterling may not simply be that more than $6 million was spent in an effort to save it only to see it die. The tragedy may be what that money could have accomplished elsewhere, with landmarks more readily spared and arguably more worthy of the effort. That $6 million would easily have paid to fully mothball and secure the Temple and the New Jersey Central Train Station a few blocks away. It may have even been enough to restore one of them completely. Civic, business and political leaders, as well as the public at large, must not let the foul taste of the Sterling failure sour the effort needed to save the Temple.

COmmeNTARY: BRANDON mCGINleY

Defend marriage for sake of our children

Single parenthood is on the rise. Fatherlessness, in particular, abounds. Out-of-wedlock childbearing occurs at levels that previous generations of reformers, such as Democratic Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, would nd incomprehensible. Divorce rates have declined from a recent peak, but are still at unprecedented levels. Who is most harmed by these realities? Common sense and social science agree: Its the children. Children who grow up without the particular gifts and inuences only a father can provide; children to whom mom and dad never truly commit because mom and dad have never truly committed to one another; children who feel like pawns in a legal chess match these are the victims of the social pathologies that ail our families. And yet on Tuesday, July 9, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Pennsylvania led suit to eliminate the legal framework that teaches that moms and dads joined by a public commitment are the best way to bring children into our society. The suit aims to end Pennsylvanias denition of marriage as between one man and one woman. In removing sexual complementarity from the legal denition of marriage we remove from our society the nal institutional suggestion that it is best to conceive, to bear, and to raise children within a permanent bond between biological mother and father. The law is a teacher, and the law will teach that neither moms nor dads are essential to raising children, and therefore that neither moms nor dads have any special duties to children. The law will teach that marriage is about the desires of adults, not the good of children. But this is precisely the source of the social ills described above, about which we all agree: Adult choices that impact the welfare of children. Legal marriage properly dened is the last bulwark of duty and responsibility that asserts, even if often ineffectively: The kids come rst. Marriage in America is in a bad way, and children bear the primary burden. Intuition and research agree: kids do best on the balance when raised by their married, biological mother and father. It is alleged, though, that the weakness of our marriage culture is all the more reason to redene the institution in our law. What sense is there in that? On this account, we shouldnt try to heal the wounded institution, but euthanize it. Make no mistake about it: If marriage is not about children, there is no reason for it to exist at all. Surely we dont need the government to bless our private sexual relationships to give them value and meaning. How sad it would be if our relationships depended on the blessing of the state? As it stands, same-sex couples can express their commitment in ways both trivial and profound (including church weddings) without government interference. The union of man and woman husband and wife, mom and dad is anything but private. In its natural inclination toward bringing new life into society, it is a public relationship, hence the public announcements of commitment and public recognition. And therefore redening marriage has public consequences. Some married people already see marriage as an adult-based, rather than children-based, institution. Some purposefully avoid having children. Other people reject marriage altogether. But we dont (and shouldnt) make public policy based on cultural trends. We make public policy based on reasons and arguments about the common good especially the good of the voiceless and vulnerable who are our societys future. In ling suit, the ACLU short-circuits this process of public discussion. And, in announcing that she will not defend our overwhelmingly-passed Defense of Marriage Act, Attorney General Kathleen Kane has afrmed that this is an issue for un-elected judges to decide, not the people and their representatives. Responsibility now falls on Governor Corbett to defend marriage and to ght to return the issue to the public sphere. Let us then, as citizens, discuss with goodwill what is truly best for Pennsylvania and especially for Pennsylvanias children.

OTHeR OPINION: UNIONS

Desperate over their share of the private-sector workforce shrinking to 6.6 percent, labor unions increasingly are using an insidious organizing method that pushes the legal envelope under the guise of community organizing. The Wall Street Journal reports Big Labor is funding nonprot community worker centers whose true purpose is building support for union organizing, thereby laying groundwork for workplace unionization elections. Not labor organizations under national labor law because they dont have ongoing bargaining relationships with employers, these centers have more latitude than unions in terms of picketing and other tactics. End runs around labor law, worker centers are the subject of an ad campaign by the Center for Union Facts. Sometimes offering language classes

Work Center Scam a stain on labor unions

YOUR OPINION: leTTeRS FROm ReADeRS

for immigrants, these centers are essentially union subsidiaries. They often are afliated with and paying membership fees to the AFL-CIO. Worker centers funders include the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, the United Steelworkers and the Service Employees International Union which last year gave $2.5 million to a Brooklyn center formed by ex-leaders of defunct ACORNs New York chapter. John Raudabaugh, a Republican former member of the National Labor Relations Board, expects an upswing in court challenges to worker centers operations. Such litigation bears watching. As do worker centers themselves, nothing less than Big Labors latest attempt to force new members into its ranks. Pittsburgh Tribune Review

A bleak future for the county?

I believe the following things: I believe Mayor Tom Leighton, like many Luzerne County politicians, is oblivious to the problems that plagued the area for decades. I believe he is too proud and/or too incompetent to identify or listen to people who have identied these problems.

I believe he is a bully or political thug whose rebuttal is to belittle or intimidate the constituents he is responsible for answering. This was best illustrated when he threatened to not pave Frederick Street because he took offense to a sign. I believe Mayor Leighton probably feels safer than the average citizen, due in large part to the home security system he installed. I believe Luzerne County is in even bigger trouble than people think. The sad part is they were warned years ago. You dont have a new gang problem. Youve had a gang problem for more than two decades. The writing is literally on the walls; that grafti isnt people just passing the time. That close proximity to New York City, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C. and Baltimore for family trips is also convenient for drug trafcking. If you do not believe drugs are a huge

problem, you are incredibly naive, much like the leaders of the area. I believe its sad that almost an entire generation has sought greener pastures because Northeastern Pennsylvania offers a bleak future. I also believe its sad that I can see this from more than 2,000 miles away, but decision makers in WilkesBarre and Luzerne County are blind. Finally, I believe the area would be much better off if there were more residents such as Darla Carey, not afraid to speak up for what is right. I no longer reside in Luzerne County, or Pennsylvania. It will always be where I grew up and is still home to countless family and friends. I just hope it doesnt take much longer for people to realize that this problem isnt going away, its only going to get worse unless something is done and soon.

McQueary
From page 1A State former president Graham B. Spanier, Curley and Schultz. The three are accused of being complicit in a cover-up that permitted Sandusky to continue to prey on boys even after he was caught raping one in a locker-room shower. They are charged with perjury, child endangerment, obstruction, and failing to report abuse. The men could face prison if convicted. Lawyers for all three have said they are innocent. McQueary testied that despite reporting what he saw to Paterno, and eventually to Curley and Schultz, he did not hear from police until November 2010, when they came to his house. He said he never pressed Schultz or Curley for details about what had happened in the investigation. Testimony for the hearing will continue today. In sometimes sharp exchanges with defense lawyers, McQueary also admitted to making his own mistakes. I didnt handle this the perfect way, if thats what youre getting at, he told Spaniers attorney, Elizabeth Ainslie, during questioning over whether he ever reported the incident to police. There are things I could have done Ill point my nger at myself before anyone else. McQueary said he had listened to what school authorities told him, and went along with what they told him. Im at fault for that, he said. Ill take responsibility for that. Monday afternoon Joan Coble, former administrative assistant for Schultz, testied that at some point before he retired in 2005, Schultz came to her and said he had placed a Manila folder in a drawer where he kept condential les. The folder was labeled with Sanduskys name, he told her she was not to look in it. I just remember thinking, I wonder what Jerry has done? Coble said. Some time later, she said, she gured it must not have been too serious, since he was still coaching, and she thought it may have been a precursor to his retirement contract. Only she and Schultz had keys to the drawer, she said, which was in Shultzs ofce. Also Monday morning, Thomas Harmon, former head of campus police, testied to overseeing an investigation in 1998 into whether Sandusky inappropriately touched a boy in a campus shower. In that incident, the boys mother went to university police after her 11-year-old son, who was involved with Sanduskys second mile charity, said he had showered with Sandusky after exercising together. Sandusky gave the boy a bear hug from behind, and the mother was concerned. Over the following month, Schultz and Curley emailed with Harmon several times, asking for updates on the investigation. Spanier was ccd on two of those exchanges, according to the emails displayed by Deputy attorney general Bruce Beemer. The child was interviewed by a representative from the department of public welfare, and an investigator also spoke to Sandusky. Harmon testied that he heard Sandusky admit that he had showered with the boy but that it was horsing around, and that he said I wish I was dead. The DAs ofce decided not to le charges, said Harmon, who said that he believed Spanier, Curley and Schultz had all been appraised of the developments in the case. Harmon said he was never made aware that McQueary said he saw Sandusky in the shower with another boy. I would have told Mr. Schultz, were going to contact the DAs ofce and pursue it as an investigation, he said.

Crash
From page 1A Safety Board is leading the investigation, in addition to an investigation thats been undertaken by the FAA. The NTSB had a briefing for the media at the Noxen fire station late Monday afternoon. Tim Monville, senior air safety investigator for the NTSB in Ashburn, Va., confirmed information the FAA provided earlier as preliminary and said he has yet to interview friends and family members of the deceased to confirm the departure point and intended destination. He said no flight plan had been filed before the flight and no witness to the flights departure has been found. Monville said he has learned that sometime after take-off, the pilot established contact with WilkesBarre/Scranton International Airport approach control and requested a vector (direction and distance) to a nearby airport Skyhaven Airport in Tunkhannock. Shortly after that, the aircraft was lost from radar and radio contact. The aircraft is presumed to have crashed at 10:21 p.m., he said. After contact was lost, a search was initiated. Wyoming County Emergency Management Agency, Pennsylvania State Police, the Mehoopany, Noxen, Kunkle and Harveys Lake fire departments, Noxen and FWM (Forkston/ Windham/Mehoopany) ambulance companies, the American Red Cross and the Civil Air Patrol participated. The crashed helicopter was located Sunday afternoon after a search team in a helicopter spotted it, finding the area using the last known location of the craft and and a signal from a locator transmitter. Noxen Volunteer Fire Company Capt. Jim Russell said the search team contacted volunteer emergency workers hiking through the brush to let them know where the downed aircraft had landed. It was laying in a creek upside down, Russell said. The Noxen department, aided by F.W.M. Volunteer Fire Department, worked until about 2 a.m., when a severe thunderstorm paused their search, Russell said. Later, about a halfdozen other emergency crews were dispatched to aid in the search. Noxen Township Supervisor Catherine Pauley, who lives near the firehouse, said soupy fog made searching difficult. One of the fireman told Russell he was probably 50 feet from the downed helicopter that night, but he couldnt see it due to the fog. Resuming the search around 7 a.m. was hard because nerves and muscles were already raw, Pauley said. They were already exhausted, Pauley said. And they knew they werent going to find anything good. That makes it even harder for the younger ones. Firefighters were able to drive trucks in on the rocky wind farm access route, but had to trek for about 30 minutes on foot to reach the site, Russell said. The search lasted about 22 hours. Monville said the crash into a heavily wooded area resulted in separations of the main rotor, blades, massed assembly, transmission and tail boom among various points of descent among the trees. He said the documentation of parts will continue today. Representatives of the air frame manufacturer, engine manufacturer and FAA are assisting with the investigation. NTSB also has a weather specialist in Washington, D.C., determining weather conditions and also an air traffic control specialist that will look at air traffic control aspects of the flight in the search for the cause of the crash. Were looking at several things: the pilot, his experience, the helicopter, and were looking at environment. By environment, I mean weather. We do know (from) first responders who were in the area within one hour, they reported heavy fog (and) rain which increased in intensity when they were on scene. So weve got some weather conditions well look at very closely in our investigation, Monville said. Monville said the helicopter has a component that records engine parameters, used primarily for maintenance. Monville declined to release preliminary information he had on the pilots level of experience. It was unclear who was piloting the craft. Neither could Monville say if the pilot got off a distress call because he had not yet listened to a recording of radio traffic from that night. The R-66 is a turbo-shaft powered, five-seat helicopter. The helicopter was recently manufactured and flown from California to the East Coast. In terms of the relationship of the pilot and the owner and the agreements between them, thats going to have to be determined and its still too early to do that, Monville said. Monville said a preliminary crash report is typically published within five to seven working days after hes back in the office. A factual report sometimes can take a year or more to be published.

NTSB official Tim Monville arrives for a press conference Wednesday near Noxen. Behind him is Noxen Fire Chief Lew Hackling.

Eagles will retire McNabbs No. 5

ROB MAADDI
AP Pro Football Writer

timesleader.com

Tuesday, July 30, 2013

Quarterback led team to five NFC title games, one Super Bowl
with one of the greatest eras of Eagles football, Lurie said. And ensuring that no one else will ever wear Donovans number, we honor one of the greatest playmakers to ever wear an Eagles uniform. McNabb will be inducted into the teams Hall of Fame and have his jersey retired on Sept. 19 when the Eagles play the Kansas City Chiefs on a Thursday night. Former Eagles coach Andy Reid, who drafted McNabb with the No. 2 overall pick in 1999, now coaches the Chiefs. To be mentioned with the likes of Reggie White, Jerome Brown, Chuck Bednarik, Tommy McDonald, Brian Dawkins and all the other players who have paved the way for me, for my former teammates and for the current players, its truly an honor, McNabb said about becoming the ninth player in franchise history to have his number retired. McNabb led the Eagles to ve NFC championship games and one Super Bowl in 11 seasons in Philadelphia. But he failed to lead the team to its rst NFL championship since 1960, and some hold that against him. I apologized to the fans because that was my goal. I feel like I let them down, he said. McNabb was a polarizing personality in Philadelphia from the day a busload of fans went to New York and booed him after he was chosen as the No. 2 overall pick. He was criticized heavily his nal year with the Eagles and even more since his trade to Washington in 2010. But 30,000 fans who attended Sundays practice at Lincoln Financial Field gave McNabb the loudest ovation on Alumni Day. They truly appreciate the effort I gave, McNabb said. See MCNABB | 5B

PHILADELPHIA Donovan McNabbs voice cracked and his eyes watered when he stood at the podium to give his retirement speech. Famously booed when he was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in 1999, McNabb couldnt hide the tears when he called it quits 14 years later. The sixtime Pro Bowl quarterback was back in Philadelphia on Monday to make it ofcial, three years after he was traded from the Eagles and 21 months after taking his nal snap in the NFL. Special day, McNabb said. Im not one for emotion, but this is pretty tough. Before McNabb even took the stage, team owner Jeffrey Lurie revealed that his No. 5 will be retired on Sept. 19. The No. 5 has become synonymous

Six-time Pro Bowl quarterback Donovan McNabb, left, and Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie embrace before a news conference in Philadelphia on Monday, announcing that McNabb will officially retire a member of the Eagles. McNabb played 11 of his 13 seasons with the Eagles, leading them to eight playoff appearances, five NFC East titles, five conference championship games and one Super Bowl loss.

One pitch after another kept icking off Erik Walkowiaks bat, until the puzzled pitcher facing him was nally forced to regroup. Trailing by two runs in the last inning of what ultimately became a 4-2 loss, Walkowiak fouled off 10 straight two-strike pitches while refusing to surrender to a defeat that seemed certain. In the end, he grounded back to the pitcher for the games next-tolast out. But the message he sent was unmistakeable. When it comes to American Legion baseball playoffs, Greater Pittston is one tough out. Thats really what we display here, said Walkowiak, Greater Pittstons center elder and one of the teams plethora of pitchers. We never give up. That resolve led Greater Pittston to the Wyoming Valley league and Region 5 tournament championships. And its sure to inspire the areas most unrelent-

ing team in the Pennsylvania American Legion playoffs, starting with todays 4 p.m. game against Region 2 champion Twin Valley at Boyertowns Bear Stadium. It seems they just dont want to quit, Greater Pittston manager Jerry Ranieli said of his guys. It showed, time and again. A late-season surge earned Greater Pittston the top seed in the Wyoming Valley league playoffs, but the team had to overcome a loss in that tournaments championship round to earn the title.

PHILADELPHIA If there was any doubt which direction the Philadelphia Phillies were going at the trade deadline, a disastrous road trip had to make the organizations decision easier. The Phillies put themselves in the playoff mix with a surge before the All-Star break and opened the second half with a win to move a game over .500. But theyve lost eight straight games since to the New York Mets, St. Louis and Detroit. At 49-56, they were 11 games behind division-leading Atlanta and 9 games out of a wild-card spot on Monday. Theyll begin a nine-game homestand on Tuesday. General manager Ruben Amaro Jr. insisted before the losing streak that he planned to be a buyer before Wednesdays non-waiver trade deadline. Now, selling seems more likely. Closer Jonathan Papelbon, All-Star lefty Cliff Lee, Chase Utley, Michael Young and Carlos Ruiz are among the players that should generate interest from contenders. Lee and Utley are likely staying, but others could be jettisoned. I dont want anybody to leave from here, Ruiz said after Sundays loss to the Tigers. Its not in our hands, its from our front ofce, so our job is, continue to play and see what happens. I hope we change everything and play good baseball, and leave that to Ruben and the front ofce. Papelbon, who has ve blown saves in his last 12 chances, may have paved his way out the door by blasting the team in Detroit. He told MLB.com the Phillies need massive changes. Its going to take, in my opinion, a lot, Papelbon said. And in my opinion, I think its going to have to be something very similar to what the Red Sox went through a couple years ago.

Fun-loving Sapp smiles all the way to Hall of Fame

Drivers find passing tough at Brickyard

TAMPA, Fla. Now headed into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Warren Sapp smiles as he remembers accepting the challenge to turn around one of the worst franchises in pro sports history. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost 10 or more games for 11 consecutive seasons before selecting a mouthy, fun-loving and sometimes downright irreverent defensive tackle in the opening round of the 1995 NFL draft. He struggled dur-

ing a 7-9 rookie season that ended the double-digit losses streak but hardly lifted the team out of a funk. Enter Tony Dungy with a plan that a young, supremely condent, 23-year-old Sapp found irresistible. When he walked into the job, it was kind of funny. We were walking through old One Buc Place going to see each other. I was coming through the back door and he was coming from his ofce. We met about halfway. We looked at See SAPP | 5B

INDIANAPOLIS Maybe NASCAR should steal a page from IndyCar and install a push-to-pass button. This past weekend saw the boring Brickyard at its worst. Juan Pablo Montoya griped over his radio that trying to pass another car cost him position on the track. Jimmie Johnson suggested the track needed a second lane with more banking to help the cause. Denny Hamlin called passing impossible. If impossible is hard, then

it was impossible, Hamlin said. It is just a product of the speed we run, the tire weve got and the surface. It all just makes for hard racing. Its hard to pass anyone. Youve just got to deal with it. Even super-snail Tubo would have been stuck in Sundays single-le snoozer at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Never really considered an exciting 400 miles anyway, Indianapolis may have topped itself in the 20th Cup race at the famed track. There were See BRICKYARD | 3B

BARCELONA, Spain When Michael Phelps walked away from swimming after the London Olympics, he was adamant about one thing: His career was over. Now, it sounds like hes not so sure. While saying hes never been happier with his life and certainly doesnt miss the grind of what it took to become the most winningest athlete in Olympic history Phelps left the door open to change his mind before the 2016 Rio Games. I dont know whats going to happen in the future, Phelps said Monday. I dont know whats going to happen tomorrow. In Barcelona for the world swimming championships, Phelps spoke to The Associated Press and other international media organizations in a series of one-on-one interviews set up by his sponsor, Speedo. When asked by the AP, yes or no, whether hell compete at the next Olympics, Phelps coyly said he hasnt planned that far ahead in his life. Thats a striking change from his comments before and immediately after the London Games, when he insisted

The setback also snapped Scranton/Wilkes-Barres vegame winning streak. Louisville jumped out to an early lead in the third, plating runs on Ryan Ludwicks grounder to second and Felix Perezs single to left-center. The Bats added more in the fourth as a sacrifice fly by Nevin Ashley and a Hamilton RBI rope to right built the Louisville lead to 4-0. The RailRiders added a run in the fth, and tried to string together some late-game magic. Singles by Brendan Harris and Dan Johnson put runners on for Randy Ruiz, who came through with a base hit to score Harris, cutting the Bats

lead to just 4-2 in the top of the eighth. After Louisville increased the advantage to 5-2 in the bottom of the frame, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre tried one-last effort.

While the RailRiders had 10 hits in the contest, the club also left nine runners stranded on base. Garcia had two hits for SWB, while Ruiz was 3-for4 with two doubles. Chris Bootcheck was handed his fourth loss of the season, allowing four runs on six hits in six innings of work.

Pittston
From page 1B After advancing to regional play, a 4-2 loss to thenunbeaten Swoyersville and a tournament rainout forced Greater Pittston to play two doubleheaders in two days of 90-degree weather. But Greater Pittston won all four games, including an improbable six-run, eighth-inning rally that lifted Greater Pittston to a 7-5 victory over Swoyersville in the Region 5 title game. We had to win a lot of games at the end of the season to get in the playoffs, and we did that, Ranieli said. We lost that game to Nanticoke in the (championship round of) league playoffs and bounced right back to win the game. Then, just to be able to play two doubleheaders in that heat and to win against a great Swoyersville team showed a lot of resiliency and character from these young men. It was sheer will that got Greater Pittston a spot in the eight-team state eld. Trailing 5-1 with Swoyersvilles best pitcher on the mound Wednesday, Greater Pittston started its improbable surge to states with eight straight singles, and scored the winning two runs when Walkowiak beat out a bouncer to deep rst base for a two-run single. It showed them we can play with anybody, Ranieli said. I think Swoyersville could be one of the best teams in the state of Pennsylvania. Were still riding the high. But weve got to get over it now and go back to playing baseball. Greater Pittston plans to play the tournament the same way it played the rest of the season. The team will lean on a deep pitching staff led by Jake Granteed and Dylan Maloney, scrappy play and solid defense while trying for a state championship. Were not going to go down there and hit 12 home runs in the tournament, Ranieli said. Were going to have to play solid baseball. Were going to have to play our small ball. Thats a game made up of hustle and heart. Greater Pittston catcher Trent Grove wound up with an RBI single on a suicide squeeze during a three-run 11th inning against Jersey Shore, helping send Greater Pittston to the Region 5 title game against Swoyersville earlier Wednesday. That afternoon, Maloneys bunt single loaded the bases in the dramatic eighth inning and set the stage for Chuck Bresslers game-tying RBI single against Swoyersville. And of course, Walkowiaks infield single scored two runs - including the games final one when Bressler raced home from second base on the play. I had five hits (between Wednesdays two games) and three of them were in the infield, Grove said. What it comes down to, youll get on base if you just hustle. That just may be enough to keep Greater Pittston in the race to become the best in the state. In games like this, Grove said, you can never give up.

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. With only six races left before NASCARs Chase for the Sprint Cup begins, Kurt Busch isnt about to take a break. Not with one of the coveted 12 spots still within his grasp. Less than 24 hours after a disappointing 14th-place nish at the Brickyard 400 in Indianapolis, Busch was back behind the wheel of his black No. 78 Chevrolet on Monday, blistering through the tricky turns at Watkins

Glen International and giving as much feedback as he could to crew chief Todd Berrier. I always like to test at tracks Im not exceptionally good on and polish up on what might be a weak spot, Busch, the 2004 Cup champion, said. We chose to come and test here because were putting a heavy emphasis and pushing all of our eggs into the basket of trying to get into the Chase. Were trying to use this as a strength, come here and polish up and be even better. After Watkins Glen, its four to go, and we like our chances. Sunday. There were scores of empty rows along the frontstretch, and fans at home probably wound up changing the channel at times. The clean race was responsible for the fastest Brickyard in history at 2 hours, 36 minutes and 22 seconds. The race was basically a yawner until Ryan Newman used a awless nal pit stop to top Jimmie Johnson for the win. All this came only two

Busch and his Furniture Row Racing team, his third team in three seasons, were among six cars to make the trek to upstate New Yorks Finger Lakes region searching for some sort of edge for the Cup race here in two weeks. Though hes been in contention on a regular basis all season, Busch is winless and sits 14th in points. Hes hopeful two days here on the track will translate into something big when the green ag waves for the Cheez-It 355 at The Glen on Aug. 11. We just havent quite delivmonths after one of the more thrilling Indianapolis 500s in history. Tony Kanaan passed leader Ryan Hunter-Reay to grab the lead in the last of a record 68 lead changes. The stock cars? They turned the 2-mile Indy track into a leisurely Sunday drive. Just one pass for the lead under green that had nothing to do with pit stops. On a at racetrack, its just tough to pass, Johnson said. These corners, they arent

ered on a win, Busch said Monday during a break. Even if we had a win right now, whats happening is everybodys nding ways to win, so you have a grouping of guys that have that one win. Its just as easy for us to make it in on overall consistency. The top 10 drivers in points automatically qualify for the 10-race Chase, and the two drivers between 11th and 20th in points with the most wins earn wild-card spots. Overall points are the deciding factor if more than two drivers have one win each. really that long. You have four, 90-degree turns. That puts a lot against this racetrack for side-by-side racing. But we still love this place. Drivers love the history steeped in the 108-year-old track. Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart and Newman fell in love with the place as kids, and they all talk of the reverence they hold for a place where A.J. Foyt, Mario Andretti and Rick Mears made Indy and open wheel king.

Brickyard
From page 1B three cautions, for stalled cars or debris, and no accidents or spins. And such little passing. The eld fanned out into single-le racing for most of the event a plodding style that perhaps is a big reason why the crowd has dwindled from 200,000-plus in the Brickyards NASCAR heyday to maybe 80,000 fans on

NEW YORK Major League Baseball may try to suspend Alex Rodriguez under its collective bargaining agreement instead of its drug rules, which would eliminate any chance of delaying a penalty until after the case goes to an arbitrator, The Associated Press has learned. Rodriguez has never been disciplined for a drug offense, and a rst offender under baseballs Joint Drug Agreement is entitled to an automatic stay if the players association les a grievance meaning the penalty is put on hold until after an arbitrator rules. While use of banned performance-enhancing substances falls under the drug agreement, MLB may argue other alleged violations are punishable under the labor contract, a person familiar with managements deliberations told the AP, speaking on condition of anonymity because no statements were authorized. Taking that action would prevent the New York Yankees third baseman from returning to the eld, even if he recovers from a quadriceps injury cited by the team as the reason for keeping him on the disabled list. And merely threatening to use that provision might give MLB leverage to force a deal. The Yankees expect Rodriguez to be accused of recruiting other athletes for the clinic, of attempting to obstruct MLBs investigation, and of not being truthful with MLB in the past when he discussed his relationship

After a weeks worth of high drama, second-guessing and radio interviews, it seems Alex Rodriguez is about to be lumped with Yankees who sort of just didnt fit, failed or just faded away rather than the Monument Park honor roll of Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio and Yogi Berra.

with Dr. Anthony Galea, who pleaded guilty two years ago to a federal charge of bringing unapproved drugs into the United States from Canada. Four years ago, Rodriguez admitted using PEDs while with Texas from 2001-03. He has repeatedly denied using them since. Baseball has been investigating Rodriguez and other players since a January report in the Miami New Times alleging they received PEDs from Biogenesis of America, a closed anti-aging clinic on Florida. A report in the New York Daily News on Monday said baseball Commissioner Bud Selig would not pursue a lifetime ban if Rodriguez accepted a suspension through 2014.

ATLANTA Andrelton Simmons drove in Dan Uggla from rst base with a triple off Edgmer Escalona in the 10th inning, and the Atlanta Braves won their fourth straight game with a victory over the Colorado Rockies. After Uggla led off with a walk, Simmons hit the ball too deep into the gap in left-center eld for Carlos Gonzalez and Dexter Fowler to keep it from reaching the wall. Scott Downs (1-0) earned the win after being acquired in a trade with the Los Angeles Angels earlier in the day and arriving at Turner Field not

It was the 436th career homer and ninth career walkoff shot for the slugger, who had a bucket of water dumped over his head by teammates after the game. Chris Perez (3-1) pitched the ninth, allowing a two-out triple to Dayan Viciedo but got out of the inning on a nice catch by left elder Michael Brantley.

Yankees might stand pat

Newsday

NEW YORK Having already acquired Alfonso Soriano, and Brian Cashmans initial hesitation to even pull the trigger on that deal, the Yankees could easily take a pass on tomorrows trade deadline and instead look ahead to the expected return of Curtis Granderson this weekend. The teams greatest need remains offensive help assuming, of course, CC Sabathia and Andy Pettitte are able to straighten themselves out soonbut the cost of such a commodity may be too

high. As of Monday, 15 teams remained within ve games of a playoff spot, which has created a super-competitive trade environment for limited resources. In Cashmans case, hes looking at the double whammy of a Steinbrenner-issued mandate to get the 2014 payroll below $189 million for next year and yet still stay in this years race, however possible. With Soriano, the Yankees are only on the hook for roughly $7 million of his remaining $24.5-million salary, and just $5 million in 2014.

GREENVILLE, Miss. George Boomer Scott, a three-time All-Star rst baseman who hit 271 homers in a 14-year major-league career and is a member of the Red Sox hall of fame, has died. He was 69. Washington County coroner Methel Johnson conrmed Scott died on Sunday in Greenville, Miss., his hometown. A three-time All-Star, Scott spent most of his career with the Boston Red Sox and Milwaukee Brewers. He hit 27 homers with 90 RBIs during his rookie season in 1966 second for a Red Sox rookie only to Ted Williams and had his best year with the Brewers in 1975, when he hit 36 homers and had 109 RBIs. The Red Sox all-time leader for rst basemen in games played, Scott was inducted into the franchises hall of fame in 2006. The Red Sox observed a moment of silence at Fenway Park before Mondays game against the Tampa Bay Rays. In losing George Scott, we have lost one of the most talented, colorful, and popular

players in our history, Red Sox historian Dick Bresciani said. He had great power and agility, with a large personality and a large physical stature. He could light up a clubhouse with his smile, his laugh, and his humor and he was the best defensive rst baseman I have ever seen. We will miss him, and we send our condolences to his family. Scott was listed at 6-foot2 and over 200 pounds in his playing days, but he was surprising nimble in the eld. He won eight Gold Gloves third all-time among rst basemen behind only Keith Hernandez and Don Mattingly including ve with the Brewers. Scott played with the Red Sox from 1966-71 and again from 1977-79. He hit 154 home runs or taters, as he called them with the Red Sox, batting.257 with 158 doubles, 38 triples, and 562 RBIs. He also played ve seasons for the Milwaukee Brewers between stints in Boston and nished his career with the Kansas City Royals and the New York Yankees. In all, he hit 271 career home runs and drove in 1,051 runs.

The announcement that Durkin will ofcially replace outgoing chamber head Austin J. Burke on Sept. 9 came Monday at the chamber building on Mulberry Street. Last November, Burke announced his decision to step down after serving for more than 31 years. For several months, an executive search committee has worked with Wa v e rl y Partners, an executive search rm, as well as the Durkin c h a m b e r s board to identify the most qualied candidate. That candidate turned out to be the man who currently serves as president of the Northeast Regional Cancer Institute. The chamber board and the executive search committee have taken the process of identifying the best possible candidate for this position very seriously, said chamber board Chairman Dan Santaniello, of Fidelity Deposit & Discount Bank. We are pleased to welcome Mr. Durkin as our new president. We are condent that his expertise, coupled with his knowledge of our region, illustrate why he is the candidate best-suited for leading the chamber as it continues to improve the areas economic development and quality of life. His salary was not disclosed by the chamber, which said the Board arrived at Durkins salary after reviewing the salaries of similar positions in comparable organizations and cities, as well as considering his experience. Burke made a base salary in 2011 of $304,000, according to tax documents publicly available. Durkin, 54, who lives in Olyphant with his wife, Sherry, said, Im deeply honored to be chosen to serve as the president of this organization that has so successfully promoted the vitality of our economic environment and community. I enthusiastically look forward to working with our members, a strong board, outstanding staff and partners, and colleagues across the region to build on the rich legacy of the chamber. Durkin, in addition to serving with the cancer institute and the chamber, also held the top position at the Lackawanna Heritage Valley Authority until 1999, when he left to take

Amazon.com Inc. says it is adding 7,000 jobs in 13 states, beeng up staff at the warehouses where it lls orders, and in its customer service division. The company says it will add 5,000 full-time jobs at its U.S. distribution centers, which currently employ about 20,000 workers who pack and ship customer orders. The company is also adding 2,000 jobs in customer service, including full-time, part-time and seasonal. The worlds largest online retailer has been spending heavily on order fulllment, a strategy meant to help the business grow, but one that has also weighed on prot margins. The company said last week that it lost money in the second quarter, even as revenue increased. Among the locations jobs will be added to are Breinigsville, Pa., Middletown, Del. and Huntington, W.Va

Amazon.com will add 7,000 positions

a position at the Northeast Regional Cancer Institute. In his new role, Durkin will be responsible for the overall management of the chamber, which serves 1,500 members. Bill Moore, the head of the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce, welcomed Durkin on board and said he looks forward to a continued good working relationship between the two chambers. Hes a very astute individual with a good background and chamber of commerce management experience, said Moore, who noted the two have served on community boards together over the past year.

The soap opera at Dell rolls on

Pending sales of US homes slip from 6-year high

held up fantastically well, Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at BTIG, an institutional brokerage, said in a note to clients. The average rate on a 30-year xed mortgage has jumped a full percentage point since early May and reached a two-year high of 4.51 percent in late June. Rates surged after Chairman Ben Bernanke said the Federal Reserve could slow its bond-buying program later this year if the economy continues to improve. The Feds bond purchases have kept long-term interest rates low, encouraging more borrowing and spending. In recent weeks, Bernanke and other Fed members have stressed that any change in the bond-buying program will depend on the economys health, not a set calendar date. Since those comments, interest rates have declined. The average on the 30-year mortgage was 4.31 percent last week. Even with higher mortgage rates, signed contracts increased in the West last month. They were unchanged in the Northeast and fell

Billionaire investor Carl Icahn is warning that the latest offer from Dells founder to buy the struggling computer maker bypasses an important shareholder safeguard. Icahn and the investment rm Southeastern Asset Management said in a letter to a special committee of Dell Inc. board members that Michael Dell wants to circumvent the voting process behind the deal by preventing stockholders from passively dissenting on the offer. Icahn and Southeastern are major Dell shareholders who have been leading a push to defeat Michael Dells plan. Last week, a group led by founder Michael Dell and the investment rm Silver Lake Partners raised their buyout offer for the Round Rock, Texas, company to $13.75 per share, up a dime from $13.65.

BMW shows off its new electric car

BMW AG is showing off the production model of its new i3 electric compact that uses carbon-ber materials to keep the weight down and improve driving performance. CEO Norbert Reithofer stressed at a New York unveiling the car was designed as an electric from the ground up. The i3 is born electric, he said. The company says the i3 will go from zero to 62 mph in 7.2 seconds. Its range is billed as 80-100 miles. Models with an optional range extender gas engine can go as far as 200 miles. The car goes on sale in November in Germany and other European markets starting at 34,950 euros ($46,000) and reaches the U.S. next year.

WASHINGTON The number of Americans who signed contracts to buy homes dipped in June from a six-year high in May, a sign that sales could stabilize over the next few months. The National Association of Realtors said Monday that its seasonally adjusted index for pending home sales ticked down 0.4 percent to 110.9 in June. The May reading was revised lower by a percentage point to 111.3, but it was still the highest since December 2006. The slight decline suggests higher mortgage rates may be starting to slow sales. Still, signed contracts are 10.9 percent higher than they were a year ago. There is generally a one- to two-month lag between a signed contract and a completed sale. Economists were relieved after seeing only a modest decline. They said that shows higher mortgage rates are having only a small impact on the home sales market. All told pending home sales

in the South and Midwest. Home sales and prices have climbed since early last year, buoyed by solid hiring and historically low mortgage rates. Housing has been

an important driver of economic growth this year as other parts of the economy have languished, such as manufacturing and business investment.

Hudsons Bay, the parent of Lord & Taylor, is purchasing Saks for approximately $2.4 billion. Hudsons Bay will pay $16 per share for Saks, a 5 percent premium over the companys July 26 closing price of $15.31.

NEW YORK Luxury retailer Saks is being purchased by the parent company of Lord & Taylor for approximately $2.4 billion. The news comes a little over a month after reports surfaced that Hudsons Bay Co. was interested in buying Saks Inc. Hudsons Bay, which also runs some Canadian department stores, will pay $16 per share for Saks, a 5 percent premium over the companys Friday closing price of $15.31. The companies put the

deals total value at about $2.9 billion including debt. FactSet says the New Yorkbased retailer has about 150.2 million outstanding shares. We are excited about what this opportunity and being part of a much larger enterprise can mean for the future of the Saks Fifth Avenue brand, Saks Chairman and CEO Steve Sadove said in a statement. Saks will continue to run as a separate company under Hudsons Bay and will have its own merchandising, marketing and store operations employees. Key management

personnel are expected to remain with the company. Saks will have a 40-day period in which to seek out alternative third-party bids. Lord & Taylor operates a distribution and call center in Wilkes-Barre Township. The buyout, which was approved by both companies boards, is targeted to close before years end. It still needs approval from Saks shareholders. Hudsons Bay said that it will look at strategic options for the combined property portfolio, which could include establishing a real estate investment trust.

SHIP-SHAPE FOR SCHOOL

Whether your child is going off to college for the rst time or just entering kindergarten, schools seem to be incubators for illness. Before the new school year starts, and even when it does, here are a few things you should know about keeping your child safe and healthy. BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS COLLEGE STUDENTS Students planning to live on campus will likely need upto-date immunizations including the meningococcal (meningitis) vaccine. Check with a primary care doctor and the school to determine which vaccines are needed. Students who smoke or have a history of asthma, diabetes, liver disease or immune suppression also should consider a pneumococcal (pneumonia) vaccine. Physicians may recommend the HPV vaccine for women and men up to age 26. Flu vaccine is recommended for children and adults, especially college students living in dorms. The flu vaccine typically becomes available in around September or October.

FOR K-12 STUDENTS Before entering school, many jurisdictions require proof of a preventative health-care examination, an eye examination and a dental screening conducted a year before school begins. Also, check with your primary-care doctor for required vaccines. Children will need proof of vaccination before entering school. A preventative health-care examination is required within one-year of entry into the sixth grade, along with another series of vaccinations. Students planning to participate in sports should schedule a sports physical. An annual physical can help identify and track potential health concerns. ONCE SCHOOL STARTS Encourage children of all ages to wash their hands, especially after using the bathroom. Provide anti-bacterial soap for when kids cant access soap and water. As much as possible encourage your child not to share cups and utensils and to clean their hands after using communal tools, such as scissors. Not contributing to the germy environment is important so encourage others to cover their cough. If child has a temperature of more than 100 degrees, keep them home. This will not only help them recover more quickly but also keep them from getting other kids sick, which will cycle back to you. They need to be fever-free for 24 hours without medication before they return to school. Help your student get enough sleep, eat a proper diet and make sure they are getting vitamin supplements as needed. This will help maintain their overall health. Mary Meehan Lexington Herald-Leader

Can poliovirus be the next big thing in brain tumor battle?

5 ailments to beat as baby boomers age

COLLEEN WRIGHT
Orlando Sentinel

DURHAM, N.C. The same virus that causes paralysis and sometimes death in polio patients may have the poten tial to cure people with cancerous brain tumors based on early results of a research trial under way at Duke University Medical Center. Stephanie Lipscomb, 22, learned that she was nearly cancer-free during a recent checkup at Duke Cancer Center 14 months after a modified version of the poliovirus was injected into her brain to treat a recurring, aggressive cancer known as glioblastoma. Im really pleased; the nodule is almost all gone, neuro-oncologist Annick Desjardins told Lipscomb, as she examined the young womans MRI brain scan. Lipscomb, of Seneca, S.C., became the first patient to enter the first phase of testing for the poliovirus-based therapy

when she was given the virus through a catheter inserted into her brain in May 2012. The fact that this patient had the proce dure 14 months ago and theres been no regrowth of the tumor is very, very exciting and promising, said Desjardins, lead investigator in the study. So far, seven patients have been treated in the poliovirus study. Two who joined the project shortly after Lipscomb also have experienced dramatic shrinkage of their tumors, while two others failed to improve. An additional two patients have been treated more recently, and doctors say it is too early to determine the results. The glioblastoma treatment uses the Sabin 1 virus strain developed in the 1950s to vaccinate humans against polio disease, which causes paralysis by infecting cells in the spinal cord. To ensure greater safety, researchers swapped out

a piece of genetic information to alter the virus so it could not grow in normal wbrain cells, said Matthais Gromeier, a polio-virologist at Duke who developed the therapy. The modified virus has been tested in both primates and humans over the past decade, Gromeier said. We have tested it with a sufficient amount of patients to know it is absolutely safe in humans, he said. We have not observed any toxic side effects. Exactly how the poliovirus works against can cer cells is still being studied, but Gromeier thinks it triggers a response in the patients immune system. Since we are all vaccinated against polio, we already have immune defenses, he said. So when we infect the tumor, our immune sys tem will come in and respond and turn against the patients tumor. The poliovirus is

among a number of viral agents being studied in cancer research, said Jan Buckner, chairman of the Department of Oncology at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., who heard a presentation on the Duke research at a recent meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology.

In concept, this and many other viral thera pies are promising, Buckner said. Cancer specialists at Mayo Clinic and other research institutions are testing therapies that use a variety of disease-causing viruses, including measles and the vesicular stomatitis

virus, which is related to rabies. Viruses may work against cancer by caus ing the bodys immune system to defend itself, but there is also evidence that some viruses may directly attack tumor cells. Others are being targeted toward specific cancer gene mutations,

Buckner said. Which property of virus therapy is going to prove to be most effec tive remains to be seen, he said. Researchers are optimistic about the future of poliovirus as a weapon against See TUMOR | 2C

A shingles vaccine can help stave off an illness baby boomers might face.

MCT photo

As baby boomers march toward retirement at the rate of 10,000 a day, they are encountering unexpected ailments along the way. These are not diseases that will kill them but nuisances that remind them they are aging. And aging is not something baby boomers take in stride, as evidenced by Botox and Viagra. Among the ailments being diagnosed in increasing numbers as middle age attacks Americas most populous generation are these ve: shingles, vertigo, tinnitus, weakened depth perception and menopausal acne. More people check into the doctors office with such afflictions because theyre living longer and discovering new issues, said Dr. Michael Link, a family practitioner in Kissimmee, Fla. My practice has aged with me, said Link, who opened his office 30 years ago. Though doctors struggle to explain why the immune system takes a dip between ages 40 and 50, they suggest the best way to avoid these irritants is to practice a healthful lifestyle. The key to middle age is to stay active, eat healthy and dont give up, said Dr. Seth Johnson, a family

practitioner in Altamonte Springs, Fla. Here are some ways to slow down and combat these five common baby-boomer ailments: Shingles This painful skin rash occurs when the virus that caused chickenpox during childhood returns for round two. Before age 50, the chance of developing shingles is just 1 percent to 2 percent. But after 50, that chance nearly doubles: 2 percent to 3 percent. A vaccine can decrease the likelihood of contracting shingles, but Johnson doesnt recommend it for patients younger than 50. The vaccine cuts the risk in half, but it costs $200 to $300. If you have a pain you cant explain for a day or two and then see a rash, contact your physician, Johnson said. If untreated, the virus can cause tender water blisters and worse. It can lead to nerve damage and pain for years to come, said Dr. J. Matthew Knight, a dermatologist in Orlando, Fla. The most effective treatment is anti-viral medication used within 72 hours of an outbreak, he said. See BOOMERS | 2C

Boomers
From page 1C Vertigo A sensation of dizziness, benign vertigo is most likely caused by natural aging or a head trauma that lodges tiny crystals into the wrong area of the ear. This sends bad information to the brain and knocks off the sense of balance, said Dr. J. Daniel Mancini, Winter Park internal-medicine practitioner. Vertigo can happen to anyone of any age, but it is more common among patients aged 40 to 60. Every time they lie down or roll over, the whole room starts spinning for 10 to 30 seconds, said Winter Park ear, nose and throat specialist Dr. Jeffrey Baylor. If you suspect you have vertigo, Baylor recommends being tested by an ear, nose and throat specialist to rule out more-extreme causes such as a tumor or stroke. If correctly diagnosed by a doctor, benign positional vertigo is treatable through the Epley maneuver, said Dr. Clifford Dubbin, an Orlando ENT specialist. The Epley maneuver involves sequential movements of the head, staying in each of the four positions for 30 seconds. If you know you have it, you can save a week or two of misery and do the maneuver, he said. Dubbin also said benign vertigo can slowly disappear on its own over time. Weakened depth perception Reading glasses often become a necessity for aging eyes, but many Americans dont realize that depth perception also can become an issue, even creating a driving hazard. As vision deteriorates over time, Johnson said, eyes can become less symmetrical. For instance, one eye might see things near while the other sees far. This difference affects depth perception. Research shows that as depth perception begins to deteriorate, one of the most dangerous driving maneuvers is a left turn in trafc, said AARP spokesman Dave Bruns. The advocacy group has created a defensive-driving program that includes strategies for dealing with depth-perception loss. Along with dulled depth perception, baby boomers might nd that they cant see as well in dim light, which also affects their driving abilities. Tinnitus That ringing, buzzing, hissing, sizzling sound in your ears has a name: tinnitus. And its fairly common among baby boomers. A lot of us grew up listening to hard rock in the 70s and 80s, and it can take a toll, Mancini said. The condition can last for a week to several years. Tinnitus is related to high-frequency hearing loss, Baylor said, and is cumulative. Even when youre not at the point of hearing loss, one thing youll start noticing is a high-pitched ring, he said. The ringing of the ears makes up for the absence of sound, and once you hear a ring, its likely to recur. There isnt a tried-andtrue solution for tinnitus, but Baylor said that for patients who have hearing loss and wear hearing aids, theres a 50 percent to 70 percent chance of recovering from tinnitus. To prevent the condition, wear earplugs to loud concerts and ear protection at a shooting range, he said. Menopausal acne Its like being a teenager all over again: Oily skin and red bumps can reappear around the time women enter menopause. As a teenager, acne develops because of a surge in hormones, Knight said. During menopause, estrogen levels drop and testosteronelike compounds form, causing acne. Menopausal acne might not be as severe as a teenagers, but it could last as long as one to two years. You do see people who spent their whole adult life without acne only to develop it at the onset of menopause, Knight said. And its frustrating for them. Retinoids, more commonly known as Retin-A, help prevent and deal with acne, said Knight. In addition to reducing puffy oil glands, the topical medicine also combats ne lines, wrinkles and skin cancers.

Tumor
From page 1C brain and other types of cancers. It seems promising, but we will still need to look at more patients and see if we can reproduce these results, Desjardins said. Glioblastoma is the most common and aggressive type of brain cancer and is usually fatal. Standard treatment includes surgery, chemotherapy and radiation, with the tumors reoccurring in 95 percent of cases nearly 50 percent within eight weeks of treatment. We typically expect about a year of survival after traditional treatment, Desjardins said. And it really affects who they are, how they function. Mostly it affects people in their late 40s to mid 50s. Lipscombs case is unusual because she was so young when the tumor developed. Her cancer was discovered after she suffered a series of debilitating headaches in spring 2010, near the end of her freshman year at University of South Carolina-Upstate in Spartanburg. It got to the point that I couldnt eat anything, Lipscomb said. I couldnt dress or bathe myself. All I could do was lay in bed. A brain scan revealed a tennis-ball-sized tumor in her brain just behind her right eye, which was surgically removed in June 2010. She underwent months of chemotherapy and radiation and still was given just ve years to live. But Im religious, and I didnt believe I was going to die from cancer, she said. Ive never felt like I was going to die, no matter what anyone else thought. Lipscomb resumed her collegiate life in the spring of 2011, with help from a couple of stylish wigs. But in April 2012, her world was rocked again when she learned the tumor had returned. Lipscomb immediately agreed when Desjardins offered her the chance to join the poliovirus research effort, even knowing she would be the rst patient to enter Phase 1 of the trial, which gauges the safety and dosage for an experimental treatment. Her mother, Kelli Lusk, initially had a few reservations. But it was her decision, her body, and we supported her, Lusk said. The procedure was carried out in May of last year and came with few adverse side effects. The recent MRI checkup brought more good news to Lipscomb, who has been making the ninehour roundtrip to Duke every few weeks for evaluation. Her tumor has so far contracted from the size of a lime to no larger than a green pea. Thats awesome, Lusk said. Lipscomb is heading back to school this fall, where she has just been accepted into the nursing program. Shes planning to work in oncology after graduation.

Store countertops are no place to put toddlers who have dirty diapers
Dear Abby: I work in the print center of an office supply store. Often when parents of small children come in to get copies made, theyll sit their babies/toddlers on the counter while we discuss their needs. Sometimes these children have dirty diapers. While I am not a parent, I do understand that small children have a tendency to run off or otherwise misbehave if they are left standing. But sitting children on the counter strikes me as unsanitary and unsafe. Would it be appropriate to ask these parents to remove their children from the counter? Because my workplace is geared toward satisfying

DEAR ABBY
ADVICE the customer, I worry about offending a customer and displeasing management. I havent said anything so far, but this is really getting to me. Disgusted in Ohio
Dear Disgusted: After reading your letter, I confess that my first impulse was to gag. The idea of a child in a soiled diaper sitting on a counter in a place of business is, indeed, disgusting. You would be doing your employer a favor to suggest that if a child should fall off the counter, there could be liability involved. Tell the customer that for the

childs safety to please remove him/ her from the counter. And if the child has a dirty diaper, make sure you have a large supply of sanitary wipes on hand so staff and customers will be protected from the bacteria. Dear Abby: After years of enduring overdraft charges and dodging bill collectors, I have finally gotten my financial house in order. I pay all of my bills, and I pay them on time. However, I have very little money left over at the end of the week. Many of my friends have two-income households or use credit cards when they go out to eat or to the movies, which is often. I want them to know that because I decline their invitations does not mean Im antisocial I just cant afford it.

Friends: PLEASE know that I appreciate being invited, but dont be offended when I am unable to join you. On Track But Still Broke in Maine Dear On Track: I congratulate you for straightening out your finances. Its not always easy to do, and breaking ingrained habits can be a challenge. The next step in your recovery is to KEEP reminding your free-spending friends that while youd like to join them, you are not always able to do so. If you repeat it often enough, eventually they will get the message. Dear Abby: My neighbors borrow my lawnmower every summer to mow their lawns. It broke down, and I had to purchase a new one.

The dealer told me not to loan it to anyone because they pushed the old one over sticks and stones and destroyed the blades. How do I tell them to buy their own mowers? Against Mower-Moochers Dear A.M-M.: Heres how: Keep uppermost in your mind that it is perfectly all right to advocate for yourself. Then tell your mower-mooching neighbors that after what happened to the last one, you are no longer loaning your mower to anyone.

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

CRYPTOQUOTE

HOROSCOPE
BY HOLIDAY MATHIS
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are not in the mood to lock horns over anything. Youll get some flak from loved ones, but youll shrug it off without harboring long-standing resentments. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Keeping things simple is not so easy for highly intelligent and complicated folks. Thats why when a simple plan goes without a hitch, its cause for celebration. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You cant argue with happiness or you could, but happiness would win, so why bother? You may not want something to make you this happy, but you cant help that it does, so just go with it. Revel. CANCER (June 22-July 22). JeanPaul Sartre wrote, Hell is other people. Today you might agree, although not across the board. You would add the word certain after is because of one maddening individual. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Feeling that you must be perpetually nice and attractive to others is a recipe for depression. Youll seize the opportunity to be yourself, no frills, and have a blast with it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Because they are so self-involved, children sometimes have trouble matching the tone of their physical and social environment. The one who is not a child and yet still has trouble with this is similarly self-involved. Be forewarned. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Youll land in the right place at the right time. The question is: Do you also have the right attitude? Youll be thrown a rare opportunity this is a test. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Those who are especially capable of a task will not work hard to understand and master it. Thats why the best teachers are people who themselves have struggled with the subject and overcome obstacles. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Youll be perusing a scene with a choice about with whom to connect. The most powerful person in the room isnt who you think it is. Seek out the person who is the most respectful and direct. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). People just dont listen well. Your intent ears, rapt attention and open heart are a rarity. People will come out of the blue with their stories and feelings because they sense that you genuinely care. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You want more out of love than to live a parallel life with another without really connecting on many levels. Communication is the key to a flourishing love life. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Youre a realist. You know that nothing is perfect. It is human nature to be compelled by the thrill of victory and also intrigued by the agony of defeat, which hangs behind images of perfection. TODAYS BIRTHDAY (July 30). Conservative financial choices prove that youre responsible. (Insert yawn here.) This year youll prove that youre creative and daring with the confidence to act on your big ideas. Youll form an alliance in August. September brings a meaningful new relationship. Your lucky numbers are: 15, 1, 11, 10 and 18.
