POLICE BLOTTER
A report by the American Bar
Associations Standing Commit-
teeonProfessional Disciplinesays
the state judicial system should
change the way alleged ethical vi-
olations of judges are handled.
The ABA said it would recom-
mend amending
the state constitu-
tion as a way to
make those
changes.
The report also
recommends
termlimitsfor the
Judicial Conduct
Board and chang-
es to the rules to
make it easier for
complainants to
report informationonjudicial mis-
conduct and to deny pension pay-
ments to judges who resign to
avoid disciplinary action.
Luzerne County President
Judge Thomas Burke on Friday
saidthe recentlyreleasedreport is
another step in improving the
states justice system.
The ABA committee released
its independent review of the
states judicial discipline system
and it will nowbe reviewed by the
state Judicial Conduct Board and
the state Supreme Court, along
with state legislators, judges, law-
yers and the governor.
In compiling its 56-page report,
the ABA committee met with nu-
merous parties, including com-
plainants, litigants, persons di-
rectly impacted by the boards op-
eration, judges, lawyers, current
and prior board members, chief
counsel and staff, and examined
case records and administrative
files to get a complete view of the
work of the Judicial Conduct
Board.
Burke said he has not seen the
full report, but heintends togiveit
a full review.
Its clear that (Pennsylvania)
Chief Justice (Ronald A.) Castille
and our Supreme Court consider
this to be a matter of utmost im-
portance, Burke said. He has en-
couraged the Judicial Conduct
Board which is an independent
bodyunder thePennsylvaniaCon-
stitutiontoconsider appropriate
changestoimprovethejusticesys-
tem.
Burke noted that Castille and
the Supreme
Court have
already insti-
tuted impor-
tant rules
changes in
the juvenile
system and
will continue
toreviewoth-
er proposed
changes.
Its evi-
dent that all branches of govern-
ment have made juvenile justice a
priorityinthewakeof theLuzerne
County scandal, Burke said.
Castille issued a statement that
the state Supreme Court initiated
a comprehensive review of court
policies andprocedures shortly af-
ter the juvenile justice tragedy
that occurred in the Luzerne
Countycourt systemcametolight
in 2009. He said the review was
done tomake sure that what hap-
pened in Luzerne County would
never happen again anywhere in
Pennsylvania.
Judicial Conduct Board Chair-
man Hank Abate pledged the
board would carefully study the
report and seek public comment
on the recommendations.
We are asking the public to re-
view the report and offer their
comments, Abate said. Our goal
is to consider any and all recom-
mendations that will improve our
operationandincrease public con-
fidence in our disciplinary sys-
tem.
Changes urged
for judge rules

zation purchased between 50 to
100 bricks of heroin, with each
brick containing 50 individual

District Judge Paul Roberts on
three counts of possession with
intent to deliver a controlled sub-
stance, and two counts each of
corrupt organization, criminal
conspiracy to commit delivery of
heroin, criminal conspiracy to
commit possession with intent
to deliver heroin and delivery of
heroin. He remained jailed Fri-
day at the county prison for lack
of $150,000 bail.
Rosembert is facing 10 felony
drug charges in county court. He
remains jailed for lack of $2.5

A federal report titled Eastern
Pennsylvania Drug and Gang
Threat Assessment released in
March indicated street gangs in-
volved in drug trafficking have
set up permanent operations
throughout Eastern Pennsylva-
nia.
Astate attorney said during an
April court hearing that Rosem-
bert, originally from Newark,
moved to the Wilkes-Barre area

KINGSTON -- Pulling a ladle
filled with potato pancake bat-
ter from a 5-gallon bucket, Joe
Menichini filled pitcher after
pitcher of the creamy, onion-
laced mixture at the St. Ignati-
us of Loyola Church Bazaar on
Thursday night.
This is fun, Menichini, of
Shavertown, said as he poured
the batter onto a sizzling grid-
dle.
Roughly 80, 50-pound bags
of potatoes and 15, 50-pound
bags of onions were used to
make the most popular food
item at the bazaar, said booth
chairperson Mary Smee of
Larksville.
We had a lot of help making
the batter, she said, adding it
took 20 volunteers, including
the Rev. John Lapera, pastor, to
prepare the batter.
The top-secret recipe is cour-
tesy of parishioners of the for-
mer St. Hedwigs Church,
which combined with St. Ma-
rys Annunciation and St. Igna-
tius.
This is a very important ba-
zaar for us, said Lapera, add-
ing that the proceeds from the
bazaar as well as funds raised
from the last two bazaars will
be used to help pay for repairs
to the churchs steeple.
The project, which Lapera
said he hopes will be complet-
ed by October, will cost rough-
ly $300,000.
Wearing a T-shirt and base-
ball hat, Lapera was getting
ready to flip burgers.
I usually work this stand,
he said.
This years bazaar is also a
memorable one in that it will
be Laperas last as the pastor of
the church. He will be leaving
St. Ignatius on July 11 to serve
as the pastor for St. Gregorys
in Clarks Green.
Lapera, who grew up in Car-
bondale, said leaving is bitter-
sweet.
He said he is happy hell be
closer to his family, but hell al-
so miss his family at St. Ignati-
us.

Rep. Tom Marino, R-Lycoming
Township, for jetting off tonight
on an official congressional trip
to Europe, with stops that will
include Rome, Moscowand Lis-
bon.
A Marino spokeswoman
called the trip critical to Mari-
nos work as a member of the
House Foreign Affairs Commit-
tee.
The taxpayer-funded delega-
tion trip, which will stretch into
next week when the House is on
a pre-July 4 recess, is being led
by Rep. Dan Burton, R-Indiana,
chairman of the House Foreign
Affairs Committees Europe and
Eurasia subcommittee, report-
ed the Washington Post and
Huffington Post. Marino is one
of five other lawmakers on the
bipartisantrip that includes two
Republicans and four Demo-
crats.
The trip will include stops in
Georgia and Lithuania. The trip
is to examine issues such as the
European debt crisis and issues
involving Russias role in the re-
gion and Russias bid to join the
World Trade Organization.
Despite the presence of four
House Democrats on the trip,
Mark Nicastre, a spokesman for
the Pennsylvania Democratic
Party, blasted Marinos partici-
pation. Nicastre noted that Ma-
rino, a freshman lawmaker, has
introduced legislation seeking a
federal hiring freeze.
At the same time Tom Mari-
no is sponsoring a hiring freeze
for workers, he has no problem
flying to Europe to stay at five-
star hotels, Nicastre said.
Marino took another official
congressional
trip overseas
earlier this
year, his first as
a lawmaker, to
Afghanistan,
Iraq and Ku-
wait.
Marino spo-
keswoman Renita Fennick
noted Marino is not taking a
family member or staff member
on the trip. She said he doesnt
yet knowthe cost of the trip, but
noted it was approved by the
Foreign Affairs Committee.
Fennick said the 10th District
congressman sits on the com-
mittees subcommittee for Eu-
rope and Eurasia.
The purpose of this trip is
two-fold, Fennick said. They
will meet with leaders of Portu-
gal and Italy to get a handle on
the debt crisis in each country
and how that affects the U.S.
They will then go to Lithuania,
Russia and Georgia to assess
Russias role in the region and
the possible accession into the
World Trade Organization and
whether the U.S. should sup-
port that.
Fennick said criticism from
the Democrats was expected
and she noted four of the six
members of Congress on the
trip are Democrats, while two
are Republicans.
Of course they are going to
look for anything to put the trip
in a bad light, Fennick said.
Congressman Marino is travel-
ing alone; he is not taking his
wife or any family members or
any staff with him.
Nicastre said in a May 5 press
release that Marino said, Our
responsibility is to spend the
taxpayers money the way they
would spend it. The working
class people of this country de-
serve nothing less.
Nicastre said, I cant think of
any taxpayers who would want
their money spent by their con-
gressman on a five-star hotel in
Rome.

WILKES-BARRE The fed-
eral Office of Surface Mining
located in the Stegmaier Build-
ing on Wilkes-Barre Boulevard
will close by the end of Septem-
ber and all the maps of area
coal mines will be transferred
to an office near Pittsburgh.
Dirk Fillpot, spokesman for
the U.S. Department of Interi-
ors Office of Surface Mining
Reclamation and Enforcement,
said the move is a result of an
amendment to federal law that
transfers responsibility for ad-
dressing emergency aban-
doned mine land projects, such
as subsidence, to the states.
The state Department of En-
vironmental Protections Bu-
reau of Abandoned Mine Recla-
mation now responds to such
emergencies.
Fillpot noted the federal gov-
ernment allotted $145.3 mil-
lion for abandoned mine land
projects to states and tribes in
2007. That funding increased
to $395.6 million this year.
Because of the increased
amount of funding to states
and tribes, we began phasing
out funding for the federal of-
fices, Fillpot said. Staff re-
sources are being reduced as
these functions are no longer
needed.
He said the eight employees
who staff the Wilkes-Barre of-
fice will be offered positions at
other agency offices.
Estimated savings from clos-
ing the office were not available
on Friday, Fillpot said, adding
that an office in Ashland, Ky.,
also is closing.
In addition to being a base
for emergency projects, the
Wilkes-Barre office also serves
as a mine map repository that,
along with a repository in
Green Tree, is part of the Na-
tional Mine Map Repository.
The repository in Green Tree
collects and maintains mine
map information and images
for all types of
mining for the
entire coun-
try. The re-
pository in
Wilkes-Barre
maintains
maps specific
to the coal
fields in the
anthracite
coal region of
Northeastern
Pennsylvania.
Many of the
maps in the
repository are
currently
available in
digital format
and the repository is in the
process of scanning all the
maps in the collection.
Mine maps are often used to
help business owners, contrac-
tors and new homeowners
make decisions on construc-
tion and determine whether
mine subsidence insurance
should be purchased.
A searchable index of mine
maps in each state is available
online at the Office of Surface
Mining website.

HARRISBURGWithRepub-
lican governors in Wisconsin and
NewJersey forcing major conces-
sions onto public employee
unions, Pennsylvania Gov. Tom
Corbett took a different ap-
proach.
Tentative agreements reached
with the Corbett administration
would provide the 55,000 em-
ployees in the states two largest
government unions with an aver-
age wage increase of more than
10 percent during the life of the
proposed four-year contracts, the
Patriot-News of Harrisburg re-
ported Friday.
Council 13 of the American
Federation of State, County and
Municipal Employees, whichrep-
resents 45,000 employees, reac-
hed a tentative deal late Wednes-
day night. Local 668 of the Ser-
vice Employees International
Union, which represents 10,000
workers, reached a tentative deal
Thursday night after four
straight days of bargaining.
Union members were sched-
uled to vote on the pacts in the
coming days, though vote count-
ing might take several weeks.
Corbett had called for sweep-
ing concessions by the unions at
theoutset of negotiations, includ-
ing a 4 percent pay cut in the first
year, rollbacks in health insur-
ance coverage and five unpaid
furlough days for each employee.
Under the proposedterms, em-
ployees would face no pay reduc-
tions or furlough days. Wages,
however, would be frozen in the
first year of the contracts. After
that, there would be an across-
the-board raise of 1percent in the
second year, two raises of 0.5 per-
cent in the second year and a 2
percent raise inthe fourthyear, as
well as step increments averag-
ing 2.25 percent in each of the fi-
nal three years, it was reported.
Annual sick leave would drop
from 13 days to 11 days for each
employee, the paper said.
A statement Friday by Local
668 said taxpayers would save as
much as $148 million a year as a
result of the state decreasing its
contributions to the Pennsylva-
nia Employee Benefit Trust
Fund.
Pa. union pacts reportedly include raises
Proposed deals with public
workers have 10% hikes over
four years, says Patriot-News.

ALLENTOWNTesting con-
ducted by the U.S. Environmen-
tal Protection Agency revealed
contamination in three private
water wells located near an April
blowout at a natural gas drilling
site.
The EPA took water samples
from seven private water wells
near the Chesapeake Energy
Corp. drilling site outside Can-
ton in Bradford County, agency
spokesman Roy Seneca said Fri-
day.
Seneca declined to reveal the
nature of the contamination, but
said the agency has not drawn
any conclusion about its cause.
The EPA will sample the wells
again in July.
Chesapeake has said a piece of
equipment failed while its well in
LeRoy Township was being hy-
draulically fractured, or fracked.
In the fracking process, millions
of gallons of water, along with
chemical additives and sand, are
injected at high pressure down
the well bore to break up the
shale and release the gas.
The accident spilled thou-
sands of gallons of salty, chem-
ical-laced flowback water into
fields and a stream.
Chesapeake denied the spill
had any effect on residential wa-
ter supplies.
The EPAwater test results re-
flect the water quality that exist-
ed in these wells before any nat-
ural gas drilling activity began in
this area, Chesapeake spokes-
man Brian Grove said in a state-
ment Friday. While EPAs latest
results make a strong case for de-
veloping standards to govern wa-
ter well construction, which cur-
rently is unregulated, they do not
support any link between water
quality and our natural gas oper-
ations.
Landowner Ira Haire, 71,
whose well was tainted, said Fri-
dayhe has noproblemat all with
Chesapeake, adding the compa-
ny has been in touch with him
daily since the April spill. Chesa-
peake supplied the retired machi-
nist witha temporary water tank,
and its installing a filtration sys-
temfor his well. Hairedeclinedto
say what the EPA found in his
well.

WASHINGTON Our power
supply has been so precise that
wevesetourclocksbyit. Buttime
may be running out onthat idea.
A yearlong experiment with
theelectricgridmaymakeplug-in
clocks and devices like coffee-
makers withprogrammabletime-
rs runup to 20 minutes fast.
The group that oversees the
U.S. power grid is proposing a
change that has the potential to
disrupt electric clocks in schools,
hospitals and other institutions,
accordingtoacompanypresenta-
tion obtained by The Associated
Press. It may also mess with the
timing of traffic lights, security
systems, sprinklersandsomeper-
sonal computer software and
hardware.
Since1930, electric clocks have
kept time based on the rate of the
electrical current that powers
them. If the current slips off its
usual rate, clocks run a little fast
or slow. Power companies now
take steps to correct it and keep
the frequency of the current
and the time as precise as pos-
sible.
The experiment would allow
more frequency
variationthanit
does now with-
out corrections.
Officials say
they want to try
this to make the
power supply
more reliable,
save money and
reduce what
maybeneedless
efforts. The test
is tentatively
set to start in
mid-July, but
that could
change.
Tweaking the
power grids fre-
quency is ex-
pensive and
takes a lot of effort, said Joe
McClelland, headof electricrelia-
bility for the Federal Energy Reg-
ulatory Commission.
Is anyone using the grid to
keep track of time? McClelland
said. Lets see if anyone com-
plains if we eliminate it.
They will and they should,
timekeepers say.
A lot of people are going to
have things break and theyre not
going to know why, said Deme-
trios Matsakis, head of the time
servicedepartmentattheU.S. Na-
val Observatory, one of two offi-
cial timekeeping agencies in the
federal government.
The changes, however, are out
of thehandsof timekeepersandin
control of officialswhosupplythe

No one is quite sure what will
beaffected. Thiswontchangethe

temsor evenoncomputers, andit

ficial U.S. time or Internet time.
But wall clocksandthoseonov-
ensandcoffeemakersanything
that flashes 12:00 when it loses
power may be just a bit off ev-
ery second, and that error can
growwithtime.
Its not easy figuring what will
run fast and what wont. For ex-
ample, VCRs or DVRs that get
their time from cable systems or
the Internet probably wont be af-
fected, but those with clocks tied
tothe electric current will be off a
bit, Matsakis said.
This will be an interesting ex-
periment to see how dependent
our timekeeping is on the power
grid, Matsakis said.
The North American Electric
ReliabilityCorp. runs thenations
interlocking web of transmission
lines and power plants. AJune14
company presentation spelled
out the potential effects of the
change: East Coast clocks may
run as much as 20 minutes fast
over a year, but West Coast clocks
are only likely to be off by 8 min-
utes. In Texas, its only an expect-
edspeed-up of 2 minutes.

All county residents
sharing levee costs
T
his is in response to Edward Bromin-
skis letter of Saturday, June 11, 2011.
The Luzerne County Flood Protection
Authority has provided Mr. Brominski
with information related to the cost of
constructing and maintaining the Wyom-
ing Valley Levee System.
All Luzerne County taxpayers are paying
for the cost of constructing the levees,
overhauling pump stations and making
improvements to other aspects of the levee
system.
Former U.S. Congressman Paul Kanjor-
ski helped secure more than $200 million
from the federal government, which was
75 percent of the cost, for the system, and
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and
Luzerne County paid the remaining 25
percent of the cost for the project.
The dollars borrowed by Luzerne Coun-
ty for the construction of the project are
being repaid for by all county residents.
Stephen Urban
Luzerne County Commissioner
Its the citizens who will
most suffer from drilling
F
rom all indications it appearsour planet
is in a precarious situation: pesticides
and carcinogenic fracturing water in
soil, soil erosion, polluted lakes, rivers and
streams, global warming and erratic tem-
perature changes.
Our own Susquehanna River has been
rated the most endangered river in the
United States. Gas drilling in the Marcel-
lus Shale area is a major factor in this
determination.
If you trace the flow of money around
gas drilling operations you find that those
who stand to make a financial profit sup-
port drilling, while those who are con-
cerned about clean water, air, and sustain-
ability of the planet are opposed to gas
drilling and are not making a penny.
Gas drilling corporations have learned,
after years of supplying, that cold, hard
cash is the most powerful drug in exist-
ence.
A number of federal, state, and local
officials, including the governor, have
accepted contributions from gas corpora-
tions. In fact, a previous governor is now a
major spokesperson for the gas drilling
industry. Its a mystery how he got the job.
These representatives, elected to protect
the rights of the people, have become
political servants to the gas companies.
At the present time our political repre-
sentatives are working very hard to
achieve gas drilling objectives. They are
attempting to manipulate local govern-
ments by offering them money to be gener-
ated by proposed Senate Bill 1100.
This bill, if adopted, would charge drill-
ing companies an impact fee based upon
the productivity of their gas wells. In addi-
tion, the bill would restrict communities
from benefiting from any of this money if
they did not allow the full standardized
zoning ordinances proposed in the bill.
In other words, if a community main-
tains a zoning ordinance that does not
permit gas companies to perform a certain
function and this function is allowed in
SB1100, the municipality receives no tax
revenue.
Local communities are being asked to
agree to far-reaching exemptions for gas
corporations in return for cash. By accept-
ing the corporate buyout, a community
would relinquish its decision-making
rights regarding gas drilling operations.
The bottom line is that the gas industry
would have to pay an impact fee, but if a
municipality accepted the tax revenue
generated by the fee the drilling compa-
nies could operate with far less restriction.
This appears to be a make up bill cre-
ated by our lawmakers. The governor
stated that he did not want to charge the
gas industry a severance fee, now the Leg-
islature wants to charge a fee, but to make
up for the charge the gas corporations can
have more exemptions to do as they
please.
The real losers in all of this will be the
citizens of Pennsylvania.
If their municipal leaders maintain their
integrity and adhere to local zoning laws,
they get no tax money from SB1100; if
their leaders roll over and accept the tax
revenue, drilling companies can run rough-
shod over their communities.
Its a lose-lose situation for the citizens
of the state.

Legal Workforce Act
needed to protect jobs
A
recent article, Barletta knocks im-
migrant status bill, inaccurately de-
scribes the Legal Workforce Act.
A federal requirement making E-Verify
mandatory for all U.S. employers is essen-
tial to protecting jobs for American work-
ers and reducing the jobs magnet that
encourages illegal immigration.
A recent poll found that 82 percent of
likely voters think businesses should be
required to use E-Verify to determine if a
potential employee is in the country legal-
ly.
Although the Legal Workforce Act pre-
empts state E-Verify laws, it supports
states rights because it grants states and
localities the right to issue or rescind busi-
ness licenses based on the requirement
that the employer use E-Verify as directed
by federal law.
There are a number of reasons why we
need the same E-Verify program for all U.S.
employers.
Only 17 out of the 50 states and the
District of Columbia have an E-Verify man-
date in place. And not all of the 17 states
apply E-Verify to all of the employers in the
state and many dont enforce it.
The only way for E-Verify to apply to all
U.S. employers is to enact the Legal Work-
force Act.

Council candidate backs
wide search for manager
A
s a candidate for the Luzerne County
Council, I agree with former State Rep.
Kevin Blaum as to an appropriate
choice for the new County Manager.
We must choose a highly qualified indi-
vidual with the experience and expertise
to effectively lead our county government.
I support a nationwide search for the right
person to fill this position.
The new county manager should not
have any familial or political connections
with anyone of influence in Luzerne Coun-
ty. Blaum is correct in suggesting that
there are those who would take us back to
a culture of cronyism, nepotism and sweet-
heart deals that has marginalized the will
of our citizens and taxpayers. The quid pro
quo practices of the past must be replaced
by an honest effort to represent all the
people of Luzerne County, and not just the
special interests that have for so long had
their way.
The breech of confidence on many of
our elected and appointed county leaders
has only been exacerbated by the contin-
uing criminal investigations that have led
to numerous convictions and may lead to
more. Luzerne County residents need to
know that their government is unfettered
by the influence of special interest groups
and privileged insiders.
This is why it is so important to select a
county manager with absolutely no politi-
cal or financial agenda. That manager
must be steadfast in his or her desire to
keep only the best interests of all the peo-
ple in mind.

HAT IF rising
health care costs
are a fact of life, or,
more specifically,
living longer?
N. Gregory Mankiw, a pro-
fessor of economics at Harvard
University and an adviser to
GOP presidential hopeful Mitt
Romney, raises that possibility
in a column in The New York
Times.
One thing the two parties
share, however, is the belief
that controlling health care
costs is possible, he wrote.
Yet many economists believe
that the rise in health spending
is largely the result of medical
advances, which prolong and
enhance life at a high cost. Per-
haps health spending will inev-
itably, and even should, keep
rising as a share of national in-
come.
This possibility raises a
question: If health care be-
comes an increasing share of
the economy, how will we allo-
cate it, and howwill we pay for
it?
Theres another area that
needs to be addressed: The re-
sponsibility of individuals for
their personal health.
The United States is in the
midst of an obesity epidemic.
Overweight and obese people
are more prone to high blood
pressure, heart problems and
diabetes, all of whichaddtothe
cost of treatment and care.
(The same holds for tobacco
users.)
For many, but not all, these
health issues can be addressed
through a combination of exer-
cise and nutrition.
So, who should bear the
costs of caring for individuals
who take little or no responsib-
ility for taking care of them-
selves?
Government? Private insur-
ance? Whichever method is
used, other people -- either as
taxpayers or premium payers --
still end up paying for those
who take no responsibility for
their health.
Unless that personal issue is
addressed, no health care re-
form, whether its government
-- or market-based, will suc-
ceed.

OTHER OPINION: HEALTH CARE
The higher costs
of living longer
T
HE LISTOF things to
worry about related
to Marcellus Shale
drilling in Pennsylva-
nia just keeps getting longer.
Concerns about the impact
on the states water supply, air,
roadways and landscape are
significant and well-known.
Now, an inspection by Penn-
DOT and the state police has
uncovered another
problem: The indus-
try isnt doing a good
job of maintaining its
vehicles.
During the second
annual Marcellus
Transportation Safe-
ty Day Tuesday in
Washington County,
statepoliceMaj. Har-
vey Cole Jr. said the
5,800 roadside inspections of
industry trucks since January
2010 found 13,000 driver and
vehicle safety violations, in-
cluding 2,800 deficiencies that
were serious enough to put the
driver or the truck out of ser-
vice.
Some vehicles had more
than one problem, and the ve-
hicle-or-driver failure rate
amounted to 42 percent, far
higher than the commercial in-
dustry as a whole, and nearly
double the national average
from all truck inspections,
which is 24 percent.
Although the top reason for
ordering drivers off the roadin-
volved paperwork errors, the
most frequent vehicle deficien-
cies that caused removal from
service were faulty brake tub-
ing and hoses, lighting, poorly
adjusted and defective brakes
and improperly secured cargo.
It remains to be seen if the
$411 million that drilling com-
panies have spent since 2008to
repave and im-
prove roads is a
sufficient sum,
and that is a key
factor in the calcu-
lus of determining
how much of a fee
or tax the Legisla-
ture should im-
pose on drillers.
But if the indus-
try is not main-
taining its vehicles or checking
its drivers, thereis potential for
damage beyond roads and
bridges -- there is the possibil-
ity of injuries or even loss of
life.
State officials must be vigi-
lant in policing this newindus-
try at all levels, and legislators
and the governor must be real-
istic in assessing the industry
so it pays Pennsylvania enough
not onlytocover infrastructure
repairs but also to provide suf-
ficient manpower to enforce
safety standards.

the bill up to an additional $11
million, according to The Penn-
sylvania Budget and Policy Cen-
ter also came under fire from
Democratic Party officials and a
local political science professor.
At a time when we need to
focus on creating jobs and get-
ting the economy back on track,
the Pennsylvania House Repub-
licans have spent significant
time trying to disenfranchise
voters at a cost of $11 million to
taxpayers, said state Democrat-
ic Party Chairman Jim Burn.
Kings College professor Da-
vid Sosar said he does not be-
lieve voter fraud is such a prob-
lem in the state that this bill
was necessary.
There are already so many
checks and balances. Its a
nice thing to have, but you
dont need to be spending this
level of money considering the
type of economy were in, So-
sar said. He said he was sur-
prised the Republicans, which
are always touting budget cut-
ting and reduced spending,
would push so hard for a bill
that costs money.
The bill amends the state
election code to require voters
to present valid photo ID before
voting. Current state law re-
quires identification for voters
who appear to vote in an elec-
tion district for the first time.
Under the bill, a free photo ID
would be available through the
Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation. Those costs
alone, according to The Penn-
sylvania Budget and Policy Cen-
ter, could total $1.9 million.
There are some exceptions to
the requirement included in the
House version of the bill, in-
cluding those for voters with re-
ligious convictions against be-
ing photographed and for peo-
ple living in nursing homes or
care facilities that serve as their
polling place.
Erik Arneson, policy director
for Senate Majority Leader Do-
minic Pileggi, R-Chester, said a
vote is unlikely to take place
next week.
We are in the process of re-
viewing the House-approved
bill. Given the current focus on
the many issues in and sur-
rounding the state budget, it is
not likely this issue will be vot-
ed in the Senate this month, he
said.
Arneson added that many
members of our caucus have ex-
pressed support.
Some Democratic representa-
tives serving portions of Lu-
zerne County blasted the parti-
san vote and called the bill un-
necessary.
This is a solution in search
of a problem, said Rep. Eddie
Day Pashinski, D-Wilkes-Barre.
He noted that since 2004, 20
million votes have been cast in
Pennsylvania and six people
have been arrested for voter
fraud.
Thats negligible and certain-
ly not enough to spend millions
of dollars and disenfranchise
hundreds of thousands of vot-
ers, he said.
When we should be doing all
we can to encourage Pennsylva-
nians to get out to the polls to
vote, this bill will do just the
opposite, said Rep. Sid Mi-
chaels Kavulich, D-Taylor. We
just dont have evidence of
widespread voter fraud in the
commonwealth that we should
be making it more difficult for
people to cast their ballots.
The fraud allegations were
cited by Republicans as reasons
the bill was necessary.
In a statement after the vote,
bill sponsor Rep. Daryl Met-
calfe, R-Butler, noted that pro-
viding photo ID is not an un-
common practice in the state.
Currently in Pennsylvania, it
is impossible to board a com-
mercial airplane, cash a pay-
check, operate a motor vehicle
or even purchase a season pass
to an amusement park without
displaying valid photo ID. Guar-
anteeing the integrity of our
states election process deserves
no less than equal protection
under the law.
Rep. Karen Boback, R-Har-
veys Lake, said This legislation
will help to ensure the integrity
of our electoral process.
One of the fastest-growing
crimes in the United States is
identity theft, which is often
what is happening in instances
of voter fraud. During our
three-day debate about this leg-
islation, some of my colleagues
described instances in which ci-
tizens have gone to the polls to
vote, only to be told someone
had already voted in his or her
name. We must have laws in
place to protect the voting
rights of American citizens who
put their faith in the fairness of
elections, Boback said.
Kavulich said that while some
people may be unable to cast a
fraudulent ballot, thousands
more registered and eligible vot-
ers will find it more difficult.

the local health department,
state Department of Environ-
mental Protection, U.S. Environ-
mental Protection Agency and
the property owner explaining
that a meth lab or remnants of
one had been found at that site
and that it may still be contam-
inated, he said.
Studies have shown contami-
nation remains in meth lab prop-
erties that are not properly
scrubbed and cleaned, no matter
how small the operation, Basin-
ger said. State police dont have
the sophisticated equipment or
staff required to assess contam-
ination left in structures, he said.
Butch Frati, Wilkes-Barres di-
rector of operations, said he will
ensure the meth lab properties
on Regent Street and Blackman
Street are cleaned up before any-
one is permitted to occupy them,
but he has to research what steps
must be taken to accomplish that
because its new territory.
This is the first time weve
dealt with a meth lab in the city,
so well proceedwithcautionand
make sure all the bases are cov-
ered, Frati said, noting he will
have more specifics by Monday.
Wilkes-Barre residents Glen
Kocher, his wife, Donna, and his
girlfriend, Amanda Adamski,
were arrested Thursday as part
of an investigation into the sale
and manufacture of the drug.
The Kochers face charges of
possession of a controlled sub-
stance and possession with in-
tent to deliver or delivery of a
controlled substance. Adamski
was charged with possession of
marijuana and possession of
drug paraphernalia and faces ad-
ditional charges of resisting ar-
rest and tampering with evi-
dence.
Police uncovered meth labs at
a Regent Street property that is
owned by Frank and Jan Jones,
according to property records.
The site of the other meth lab, a
Blackman Street double-block, is
owned by Donna Kocher and
Deborah Zaleski, county proper-
ty records show.
Newport Township had two
meth labs in recent years that
were rented by the parties in-
volved in drug manufacturing,
and the township forced the
property owners to pay to re-
move the contamination before
the properties could be reoccu-
pied, said township Police Chief
Robert Impaglia.
The soil around the properties
also had to be checked because
meth lab operators often dump
large quantities of residue left af-
ter cooking the drug, Impaglia
said.
Contamination removal typi-
cally runs into thousands of dol-
lars, experts say.
The process starts with testing
to establish the extent of the con-
tamination, said Severin Ste-
phens, of Hudson, Ohio-based
Bio Clean Services Inc., one of
the companies that provide con-
tamination removal in Pennsyl-
vania.
Porous items furniture,
clothing, draperies must be re-
moved and discarded, he said.
Hard surfaces are then washed
down, and sealer is applied to
bare wood, he said.
The site is then retested and
cleaned again if necessary, he
said, noting that the company
follows EPA guidelines for de-
contaminating meth labs.

Sunday said DEP personnel
inspected the former manufac-
turing facility on Feb. 9 after the
agency received a report of van-
dalism at the site. They found
between 100 and 150 55-gallon
drums, 50 to 100 35-gallon
drums and about 100 5-gallon
containers of liquid and solid
chemicals and paint, and no sec-
ondary means of containment.
Inspectors determined the
prompt removal of the chem-
icals was necessary for the
health and safety of area resi-
dents. He noted the presence of
a nearby athletic field used by
children.
Sunday said workers have se-
cured the chemical containers
for transport, but all of the
chemicals must be analyzed be-
fore shipment and disposal to
satisfy state and federal safety
and environmental require-
ments.
Some of the materials can be
diluted and sent to landfills,
others will be incinerated and
still others must be treated with
other chemicals to neutralize
them before disposal. DEP is in
the process of identifying all of
the chemicals, Sunday said.
He said officials expect all of
the chemicals will be removed
within a few weeks. The cost,
estimated not to exceed $1 mil-
lion, will be covered by waste
permit fees and fines and penal-
ties paid by violators of environ-
mental laws.
Attorneys for more than
4,000 employees and residents
filed a class-action lawsuit in
2005 against T.P. Corp. and the
Kerr-McGee wood-treatment
plant in Avoca alleging that
chemicals released from both
plants during a period of years
resulted in diseases such as
asthma and cancer.
S. JOHN WILKIN/THE TIMES LEADER
A DEP spokesman said that should chemicals such as sulfuric acid, potassium hydroxide and acetone at the former T.P. Corp. plant
in Duryea leak and mix together, they could cause a fire or combine to form an air release that could affect neighborhood residents.

I F YO U G O
perhaps what al-Qaida really
needed was a fresh start under a
new name.
The problem with the name
al-Qaida, bin Laden wrote in a
letter recovered from his com-
pound in Pakistan, was that it
lacked a religious element,
something to convince Muslims
worldwide that they are in a ho-
ly war with America.
Maybe something like Taifat
al-Tawhed Wal-Jihad, meaning
Monotheism and Jihad Group,
would do the trick, he wrote. Or
Jamaat IAdat al-Khilafat al-
Rashida, meaning Restoration
of the Caliphate Group.
As bin Laden saw it, the prob-
lem was that the groups full
name, al-Qaida al-Jihad, for The
Base of Holy War, had become
short-handed as simply al-Qai-
da. Lopping off the word ji-
had, bin Laden wrote, allowed
the West to claim deceptively
that they are not at war with Is-
lam. Maybe it was time for al-
Qaida to bring back its original
name.
The letter, which was undat-
ed, was discovered among bin
Ladens recent writings. Navy
SEALs stormed his compound
and killed him before any name
change could be made. The let-
ter was described by senior ad-
ministration, national security
and other U.S. officials only on
condition of anonymity because
the materials are sensitive. The
documents portray bin Laden as
a terrorist chief executive, strug-
gling to sell holy war for a com-
pany in crisis.
At the White House, the doc-
uments were taken as positive
reinforcement for President Ba-
rack Obamas effort to eliminate
religiously charged words from
the governments language of
terrorism. Words like jihad,
which also has a peaceful reli-
gious meaning, are out. Islamic
radical has been nixed in favor
of terrorist and mass murder-
er. Though former members of
President George W. Bushs ad-
ministration have backed that
effort, it also has drawn ridicule
from critics who said the presi-
dent was being too politically
correct.
The information that we re-
covered from bin Ladens com-
pound shows al-Qaida under
enormous strain, Obama said
Wednesday in his speech to the
nation on withdrawing troops
from Afghanistan. Bin Laden
expressed concern that al-Qaida
had been unable to effectively
replace senior terrorists that
had been killed and that al-Qai-
da has failed in its effort to por-
tray America as a nation at war
with Islam, thereby draining
more widespread support.
Bin Laden wrote his musings
about renaming al-Qaida as a
letter but, as with many of his
writings, the recipient was not
identified. Intelligence officials
have determined that bin Laden
communicated only with his
most senior commanders, in-
cluding his deputy, Ayman al-
Zawahri, and his No. 3, Mustafa
Abu al-Yazid, according to one
U.S. official.
Because of the courier system
bin Laden used, its unclear to
U.S. intelligence whether the
letter ever was sent.
Al-Yazid was killed in a U.S.
airstrike last year. Zawahri has
replaced bin Laden as head of
al-Qaida.
In one letter sent to Zawahri
within the past year or so, bin
Laden said al-Qaidas image was
suffering because of attacks that
have killed Muslims, particular-
ly in Iraq, officials said. In other
journal entries and letters, they
said, bin Laden wrote that he
was frustrated that many of his
trusted longtime comrades,
whom hed fought alongside in
Afghanistan, had been killed or
captured.
Using his courier system, bin
Laden could still exercise some
operational control over al-Qai-
da. But increasingly the men he
was directing were younger and
inexperienced. Frequently, the
generals who had vouched for
these young fighters were dead
or in prison. And bin Laden, un-
able to leave his walled com-
pound and with no phone or In-
ternet access, was annoyed that
he did not knowso many people
in his own organization.

HARRISBURG Democrats
redoubled their efforts Friday
to paint Gov. Tom Corbett and
his fellow Republicans as need-
lessly forcing local tax increas-
es, school layoffs and tuition
increases across Pennsylvania
by going forward with a plan to
enact deep cuts in aid to public
schools and universities while
squirreling away surplus cash.
Three-quarters of the states
school districts are increasing
property taxes, about 11,000
teachers are being laid off and
students at 18 state-supported
universities in Pennsylvania
may be facing double-digit per-
centage increases in tuition,
said state Sen. Vincent Hughes,
of Philadelphia, the ranking
Democrat on the Appropri-
ations Committee.
Its clear that were leaving a
lot of folks without jobs, were
creating an environment to in-
crease taxes and local property
taxes across the state, and
were doing it while we have a
substantial budget surplus,
Hughes said.
On Friday, Hughes said the
surplus through the nearly
complete fiscal year is on pace
to surpass $700 million. A por-
tion of that, most likely one-
third or less, would be used in
a tentative $27.15 billion bud-
get deal whose details are
largely under wraps by Corbett
and the leaders of the House
and Senates Republican major-
ity, who negotiated it in pri-
vate.
Lawmakers are working to
assemble the legislation and
schedule committee and floor
votes to pass the budget before
the new 2011-12 fiscal year be-
gins at the end of next week.
The plan under consideration
would cut about 3 percent from
the current years $28 billion
budget as Corbett and his fel-
low Republicans who control
the Legislature have scoured
state government for cuts with-
out raising new taxes to fill
what they call a multibillion-
dollar budget deficit.
Democrats say, given the
strong tax collections, the def-
icit is well below $2 billion and
that such massive cuts are un-
necessary.
More than $1 billion would
be cut from public schools and
higher education, under the Re-
publicans current plan, al-
though GOP lawmakers point
out that their plan is a sub-
stantial improvement over the
more than $1.6 billion in cuts
from public schools and higher
education that Corbett original-
ly had sought.
Part of the agreement that
has emerged are cuts of nearly
20 percent in state aid, or
about $220 million, for the 14
universities in the State System
of Higher Education, as well as
Penn State, Temple, Pitt and
Lincoln.
After a 90-minute House Ap-
propriations Committee meet-
ing dominated by Democratic
protests, Chairman Bill Adolph,
R-Delaware, defended the pro-
posed cuts 18 percent for
the state system, 19 percent for
the other four state-related
schools as a dramatic im-
provement over original cuts of
more than 50 percent sought
by Corbett in the budget he
proposed in March.
Corbett and Republicans
have cited a slew of reasons not
to use a substantial portion of
the surplus to wipe out a pro-
jected deficit driven by lacklus-
ter tax collections during and
after the recession. The econo-
my is slowing and gas prices
are rising, potentially hurting
future tax collections, they say.
Adolph cited a looming case
at the state Supreme Court
that could force the state to
repay hundreds of millions of
dollars to a state-run fund that
helps physicians pay medical
malpractice insurance premi-
ums.
I do not want to appropriate
dollars and then have a prob-
lem three months down the
road, Adolph told reporters af-
ter the meeting. We cannot
just talk about cash on hand
without talking about our lia-
bilities, thats irresponsible bud-
geting.
Dems press Corbett over Pa. budget cuts
GOP legislators say major
reductions have been eased
as the deadline nears.

WHENHISTO-
RYbooks are
written, this
should go
down as the
week when
FIFAs paper-
thin last scraps
of dignity and credibility with-
ered and died.
Because this was the week that
world footballs governing body
exposed itself: It professes to
zero tolerance of corruption
but, fromits actions this week,
zero scruples appears closer to
the truth.
This May, football officials
called to a meeting in the Carib-
bean were offered brown enve-
lopes stuffed with $40,000 in
$100 notes and told not to
breathe a word. We knowthis
because some but not all the
officials later blewthe whistle.
FIFAinvestigated. Its conclu-
sions, leaked this week, were
that the payments seemto have
been bribes and that two of its
most senior and influential exec-
utives FIFAvice president
Jack Warner and Asian football
chief Mohamed bin Hammam
were allegedly neck-deep in the
dirt.
Evidence, FIFAsaid, was
comprehensive, convincing and
overwhelming. Bin Hammam
wanted Sepp Blatters job as
FIFApresident. For that, he
needed football officials votes.
FromFIFAs report, it appears he
was ready to pay for them.
Questionable conduct
Warner, one of footballs most
powerful men, allegedly used his
clout and contacts to act as bin
Hammams facilitator. FIFAs
report accused himof arranging
the May10-11meeting at a hotel
on the Caribbean island of Trini-
dad and of condoning the
payoffs.
If FIFAput footballs interests
first, Warner should have been
banished as an example to oth-
ers, packed off in disgrace, good
riddance.
FIFAs report even suggested
as much.
Corruption affects the very
core of sports and is to be consid-
ered as nothing less than life-
threatening for sports and sports
organizations. Thus, if there is
considerable suspicion that
offenses related to corruption
might have been committed,
immediate action is imperative,
it said.
FIFAhas a direct and pressing
interest in barring the persons
concerned fromsports immedi-
ately and effectively, it added.
In this regard, FIFAand the
FIFAEthics Committee adhere
to a zero tolerance approach.
You can almost hear Warner
laughing. He walked away, re-
signing this week fromfootball
duties and taking with himhis
secrets from28 years inside the
most discredited governing body
in sports. Whatever knowledge
Warner may have of any mis-
deeds within FIFA, the football
tsunami of embarrassing revela-
tions that he threatened to un-
leash, he can nowkeep for him-
self.
Good deal for Warner, an in-
sult for football. Warner is not
banned fromfootball stadiums
or fromcontacting buddies still

ten 7-6 (2), 7-6 (2), 6-4 in the

served spectacularly well, hit-

better of the 2003 U.S. Open

Roddick turns 29 in August,

ly depressing thought creeps
into his mind: He might never
win Wimbledon.
Well, sure. Youre human. I

DURHAM, N.C. Put together great hitting
and great pitching in the same game and it al-
most always adds up to a big success. It certainly
did for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees in
the opener of their four-game road series with
the Durham Bulls on Friday
night.
Brandon Laird homered with
two singles for four RBI in a 22-
hit attack and Lance Pendleton
was perfect through the first
three innings of his spot start as
the Yankees demolished Dur-
ham14-3.
Our guy pitched well, Yan-
kees manager Dave Miley said.
Its kind of what we were hop-
ing. We were a little short in the
bullpen. We had one guy un-
available and one guy that was
close to unavailable. So to get
through it with Pendleton and
(George) Kontos was huge for
us.
When you lose the top two
guys in home runs in the league (injured Jorge
Vasquez and Justin Maxwell) thats tough to fill,
but our people went out and got two veteran
guys in Terry Tiffee and Mike Lamb, said Miley.
Imnot saying its all them, but maybe having
them in the middle of the lineup rubs off on the

Dejarmbro leads a strong Trond Smedshammer-trained tandemin
tonights exciting $500,000 Earl Beal Jr Memorial Final. The son of
Credit Winner has been awesome his last two starts, is primed for a
big effort tonight, andis my choice to take the lions share of the mon-
ey. Im The Answer is the other half of the Smedshammer trainees
(though un-coupled), and hes coming off a romp in1:52.4 in his elim-
ination, hes never been better and could complete an all-Trond exac-
ta. To round out the trifecta, look for the sure to be hard-used Pastor
Stephen to take home the show dough. This is a stacked Final and
certainly wont be a cake walk for anyone; the 14th race is one you
dont want to miss out on for sure!

THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com SATURDAY, JUNE 25, 2011 PAGE 3B
S P O R T S
A total of 104 teams are com-
peting in the tournament, with
the top 16 from Fridays action
qualifying for the championship
flight.
The remaining 88 teams who
did not qualify for the cham-
pionship flight will continue to
play today and Sunday in a bet-
ter-ball match play format.
Its dips and momentum in
this game, Kluger said when
asked about his teams back 9
turnaround.
After consecutive pars on
Nos. 10 and 11, Kluger putted
for birdie on 12 and sank a 15-
foot putt for birdie on 13, a diffi-
cult 242-yard par-3, to put his
team2-under par. Williams con-
tinued the hot stretch by tap-
ping in for birdie on Nos. 14 and
15 before Kluger dropped a 20-
footer for birdie on 16.
Playing with Eric every year
is crazy, said Kluger. Hes real-
ly good and somehow I always
play good with Eric.
Fridays co-leaders were part-
nered with last years tourna-
ment champions Brian Corbett
and Bob Gill. The defending
champions finished with a 1-un-
der 70.
Corbett and Gills score was
enough to advance to todays
championship flight.
Gill entered the day confident
he and Corbett would play well,
but said their score after the
first 18 holes was disappointing.
Our goal was to shoot in the
60s and we finished with 70,
Gill said. We didnt get to
where we wanted to be, but its a
long weekend.
Corbett and Gill started
strong as well, putting for birdie
on holes Nos. 3 and 4, but they
recorded a bogey on 9.
The tandem recorded only
one more birdie on the day,
when Gill landed his tee shot on
the par-3 No. 11 just four feet
from the pin.
Ive been hitting the ball
pretty good (lately), said Gill.
I put the ball in play and hit a
lot of greens. I gave myself a lot
of chances for birdie.
As Kluger and Williams
caught their stride on No.12,
Gill and Corbett bogeyed No. 13
while two-putting from the
greens the rest of the way.
My partner played well,
Corbett said. He didnt get
much help from me. We made a
couple bogeys which was
tough, but we made three bird-
ies so we kind of survived the
day.
Despite being unsatisfied
with their score, Gill had high
hopes about playing better in
the championship flight.
Thats golf. Its momentum,
he said. Thats why four shots
is nothing in (this) tournament.
You can make that up if you play
well. Im still optimistic for the
weekend.

other guys. Hopefully theyll be
willing to fill some void for us.
Every Yankee inthe startingli-
neup hit safely and all but two
had multiple-hit games. Austin
Krum added a double with two
singles and four RBI while Inter-
national League stalwart Tiffee
in his second game since sign-
ing from Lancaster of the Atlan-
tic League added a double and
two singles. Lamb, who had one
hit, was signed from Camden in
the Atlantic League.
WhenI got here I didnt know
anybody here except Lamb,
said Tiffee, a 2008 Olympian
who has played in 97 major
league games for the Twins and
Dodgers and sat out the entire
2010 season with back prob-
lems.
The Atlantic League is a lot
better than I thought it was. Its
not Triple-A, but there are a lot
of good players in that league.
The competition is pretty good.
There are similar pitching
styles, cutter, sinker, changeups.
But it all comes downto your ap-
proach and confidence.
Pendleton (3-2) allowed just
one hit a two-run homer from
Leslie Anderson in the fourth
while striking out seven against
twowalks before Kontos pitched
the last four for his first save of
the season.
I wasnt sure I could get
through five, Pendleton said. I
didnt even know what my pitch
count was. I figured if I threw
well enough I could get through
five and maybe more, and if not I
dont. Thats just how it goes. It
feels real good to get through
three innings without a baserun-
ner.
"Maybe I got a little ahead of
myself because I walkeda guy on
four pitches and then gave up
the home run. Thats the lesson
Ill take from this game.
Brian Baker (5-5) took the
loss inthe spot start for Durham,
giving up seven earned runs in
four innings.
Infielder Omar Luna, the fifth
Durham pitcher of the night,
pitched the ninth. The Yankees
offense was so hot that the first
seven batters of the five-run
sixth inning hit safely.
Durham got its final run on a
Robinson Chirinos homer in the
eighth.
I dont know what to say,
Bulls manager Charlie Montoyo
said.
We just got hit hard and of-
ten. Baker has been off and on.
He has a goodone andthena bad
one. Today wasnt a good one.
NOTES Game 2 of the series
is tonight at 7:05, with Adam
Warren (6-2, 3.07) going against
Durhams Chris Bootcheck (0-1,
1.86).
Infielder Addison Maruszak,
who had two at-bats in one game
for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, was
sent down to Trenton.
Yankees pitching coach Scott
Aldred was a starter for the orig-
inal Triple-A Bulls in 1998.

PHILADELPHIA Pinch-
hitter Ben Franciscos RBI
single with two outs in the
bottom of the ninth lifted the
Philadelphia Phillies to a 1-0
victory over the Oakland Ath-
letics on Friday night.
In a game in which rookie
starters Vance Worley and
Guillermo Moscoso took no-
hitters into the sixth, neither
team got a runner to third until
the ninth.
Shane Victorino walked to
start the inning against Brian
Fuentes (1-8). He went to sec-
ond on Domonic Browns one-
out single to right. Both run-
ners advanced on Brian
Schneiders grounder to first.
Francisco then hit a high boun-
cer over third baseman Scott
Sizemores head to drive in
Victorino.
Rockies 4, Yankees 2
NEW YORK Jason Giambi
hit a long homer against his
former team and Ubaldo Jime-
nez overcame early wildness to
pitch seven impressive innings,
leading the Colorado Rockies
to a 4-2 victory Friday night
over New York in a rare trip to
the Bronx.
Troy Tulowitzki homered
again in New York City and
Todd Helton hit an RBI single
for Colorado. No. 9 batter Chris
Iannetta walked three times
and scored a run. The Rockies
were swept by the Yankees in a
three-game series in 2004, their
only other trip to the Bronx.
Rangers 8, Mets 1
ARLINGTON, Texas Matt
Harrison pitched seven strong
innings, Adrian Beltre snapped
a 13-game homerless drought
and the Texas Rangers beat the
New York Mets 8-1 on Friday
night.
Michael Young and Josh
Hamilton also went deep for
the AL West-leading Rangers. It
was the 100th career homer for
Hamilton.
Pirates 3, Red Sox 1
PITTSBURGH Jose Taba-
ta and Lyle Overbay each had
two hits and an RBI to lead the
Pittsburgh Pirates to a 3-1 win
over the Boston Red Sox on
Friday night.
Paul Maholm (4-8) beat an
American League team for the
first time in nearly two years by
surviving 5 1-3 eventful innings.
Joel Hanrahan worked a perfect
the ninth to pick up his 21st
save in as many chances as the
Pirates (38-37) won their third
straight to climb back above
.500.
Diamondbacks 7, Tigers 6
DETROIT Wily Mo Pena
hit a towering solo home run in
the eighth inning, and the
Arizona Diamondbacks beat
the Detroit Tigers 7-6 on Friday
night.
Pena, called up from the
minor leagues earlier this week
for his first big league stint
since 2008, hit a two-out homer
an estimated 454 feet over the
left-field fence off David Purcey
(1-1).
Brewers 4, Twins 3
MILWAUKEE Prince
Fielder doubled in the go-ahead
runs with two outs in seventh
inning to raise his NL-leading
RBI total to 65 and rally the
Milwaukee Brewers over the
Minnesota Twins 4-3 on Friday
night.
Milwaukee is 2-2 on this
interleague homestand after a
back-and-forth affair with their
border rivals. The Brewers led
2-0 on doubles by Corey Hart in
the fourth and Ryan Braun in
the fifth.
Rays 5, Astros 1
HOUSTON James Shields
became the first pitcher in
Tampa Bay franchise history to
throw three straight complete
games and Evan Longoria
homered and drove in three
runs to lead the Rays to a 5-1
win over the Houston Astros on
Friday night.
Shields (8-4) allowed three
hits and struck out nine with
one walk.
Orioles 5, Reds 4, 12 innings
BALTIMORE Derrek Lee
led off the bottom of the 12th
inning with a home run to give
the Baltimore Orioles a 5-4
victory over the Cincinnati
Reds on Friday night.
Lee sent a 1-2 pitch from Jose
Arredondo (0-3) into the seats
in left field to end the mara-
thon. It was Lees fifth home
run, the first since May 8.
Cincinnati missed a chance
to take the lead in the top of the
12th when Joey Votto was
thrown out at the plate trying
to score from first on a two-out
double by Jay Bruce.
Cubs 6, Royals 4
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Tony
Campana hit a disputed bunt
single and scored the go-ahead
run on an error in the ninth
inning to help the Chicago
Cubs beat the Kansas City
Royals 6-4 Friday night.
With one out, Campana
popped up a bunt against Aaron
Crow (2-1) that Royals third
baseman Mike Moustakas
appeared to catch at his shoe-
tops. Plate umpire Jeff Kellogg
ruled that it hit the grass and
Campana was safe at first.
Blue Jays 5, Cardinals 4
ST. LOUIS Jose Bautistas
major league-leading 23rd
home run in the top of the
ninth inning helped the Toron-
to Blue Jays snap a four-game
losing streak with a 5-4 victory
over the St. Louis Cardinals on
Friday night.
Bautistas one-out drive off
Fernando Salas (4-2) barely
cleared the wall in right field,
landing just past the out-
stretched glove of a leaping Jon
Jay and in the Cardinals bull-
pen.

game, hit a grand slam off John Purdin to help San
Francisco to a 9-0 win over Los Angeles.
1998 Sammy Sosa broke the major league re-
cord for homers in a month, hitting his 19th of June
leading off the seventh inning of the Cubs 6-4 loss
to Detroit. Sosa passed the mark set by Detroits
Rudy York in August 1937.

helped blow an 8-3 lead in the ninth inning. Howry
gave up back-to-back RBI singles to Garrett Atkins
and Brad Hawpe and a three-run homer to Troy Tu-
lowitzki. The fan then jumped onto the field fromthe
roof of the Rockies dugout and made it a few feet
fromthemoundbeforesecurity guards tackledhim.

inning.

S P O R T S
working in the game, officials
who owe him their jobs and may
still do his bidding. It seems, al-
though FIFAs press office wont
outright confirm or deny this,
that Warner may even still be eli-
gible for his FIFA pension, paya-
ble for as many years as he served
on the executive committee
28.
The biggest scandal is that FI-
FA waved off Warner with kind
words of thanks, saying his foot-
ball work was appreciated and
acknowledged.FIFAsstatement
completely omitted mention of
its own report, which it was sit-
tingon, thataccusedhimof know-
ing about, facilitating and con-
doning the alleged bribery in the
Caribbean. Nor did it recall the
2006 World Cup ticket scam for
which Warners family was fined,
or the other allegedfinancial mis-
deeds that critics linked him to
over the years.
FIFA closed its ethics probe of
Warner. And because Warner is
no longer involved in football, FI-
FA said it no longer has any au-
thority to investigate him. That
may be true, but FIFA surely
didnt need to go the extra mile
and state, as it so obligingly did,
that Warners presumption of in-
nocence is maintained.
FIFA hasnt been so forgiving
with others, like Michel Zen-Ruf-
finen, Blatters former right-hand
man forced out for crossing
swords with his boss a decade
ago. Last November, FIFA de-
claredZen-Ruffinenpersonanon

countries bidding for the World
Cup were secretly trading votes.
So why was Warner accorded
such a face-saving send-off? Out
of fear that he might, if dealt with
strictly, pull downothers inFIFA,
too?
More worrisome is why War-
ner and bin Hammamapparently
felt safe that they wouldnt get in-
to trouble for the alleged bribery
in May and that officials offered
wads of cash wouldnt double-
cross them. Does that suggest
that, in the past, officials simply
took the money? And is this how
FIFApresidential votes are won?
These are questions Warner no
longer needs to answer.
How can that be zero toler-
ance?

but only made it as far as the
fourth round last year, and sec-
ond round in 2008.
What do you do? You keep
moving forward until you de-
cide to stop, Roddick said. At
this point, Ive not decided to
stop, so Ill keep moving for-
ward.
He hasnt been past the quar-
terfinals at any of the past seven
major tournaments; he with-
drew from the French Open in
May because of a right shoulder
injury, but said hes healthy at
the moment.
That, in part, is why Roddick
figured hed make a deep run at
the grass-court Grand Slam
tournament.
He gears a lot of his year for
Wimbledon. Its a tough loss,
said Roddicks coach, Larry Ste-
fanki. Hes disappointed. Very
disappointed.
It didnt help that Lopez was
nearly perfect, conjuring up 57
winners and eight unforced er-
rors.
Unbelievable, Lopez said.
When I came back in the lock-
er room, my coaches told me. I
was surprised that I didnt miss
anything, almost.
Because of rain, only two oth-
er third-round mens matches
finished Friday: No. 4 Andy
Murray moved forward in his
bid to give Britain its first male
champion at Wimbledon since
1936, beating Ivan Ljubicic 6-4,
4-6, 6-1, 7-6 (4) with the help of
a behind-the-back, between-
the-legs trick shot under the
Centre Court roof; and No. 17
Richard Gasquet of France beat
Simone Bolelli of Italy 6-3, 6-2,
6-4. Murray plays Gasquet next.
Roddick is the highest-seed-
ed man out of the tournament
so far. Two of the top three
women already are gone: No. 2
Vera Zvonareva, the runner-up
at Wimbledon and the U.S.
Open in 2010, was eliminated
by No. 32 Tsvetana Pironkova
of Bulgaria 6-2, 6-3 Friday, less
than 24 hours after No. 3 Li Na,
the French Open champion,
lost.
Pironkova reached the semi-
finals last year, when she upset
five-time Wimbledon champion
Venus Williams, and theyll
have a rematch in the fourth
round next week. Williams
overpowered 76th-ranked Ma-
ria Jose Martinez Sanchez of
Spain 6-0, 6-2 on Court 1.
Im in the next round. Thats
my main goal, regardless
whether I play amazing, wheth-
er I play halfway decent.
Doesnt matter, Williams said.
Its just about finding a way to
win.
Looking ahead to facing Pi-
ronkova, Williams said: Last
year, you know, I think I just got
unhappy with how I was play-
ing, and I let that affect my
game. This year, I wont let that
happen.
Another past Wimbledon
winner, Maria Sharapova,
struggled at the start against
17-year-old Laura Robson of Bri-
tain before righting herself to
win their second-round match
7-6 (4), 6-3, her shot-accompa-
nying shrieks as loud as ever.
Sharapova trailed 4-1 early,
then fell behind 4-2 in the tie-
breaker, before taking the sets
last five points, closing it with a
108 mph service winner against
2008 Wimbledon junior cham-
pion Robson.
Top-seeded Caroline Woz-
niacki also won a delayed sec-
ond-round match, as did 2007
finalist Marion Bartoli. Defend-
ing champion Rafael Nadals
match was among several in the
third round stopped because of
rain Friday evening.

WIMBLEDON, EnglandAn-
dy Murray showed off his new fa-
vorite trick shot to an enraptured
Centre Court crowd Friday.
Hes used it twice in recent
weeks, including in the 6-4, 4-6,
6-1, 7-6 (4) victory over Ivan Ljub-
icic that took him into the fourth
round at Wimbledon.
Midway throughthe fourthset,
Ljubicic hit a short ball, and Mur-
ray hopped in the air, brought his
racket behindhis backandcasual-
ly flicked a shot through his legs.
The ball floated over the net and
landedinfor a cross-court winner.
It was nearly identical to a shot
Murrayhit duringhis victoryover
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the final of
theQueensClubgrass-court tour-
nament on June13.
Its just oneof thosethings that
youre just in the right position. I
tried it at Queens and I tried it a
couple of times inpractice since. I
havent missed one yet. You look
likeaplonker(idiot)whenyoudo,
so Im glad I made it, Murray
said. Its one of those shots that
youdont get a chance totry them
very often and, luckily, Ive pulled
it off a couple times the last few
weeks.
He hasnt thought of a name for
it yet.
Ive never really seen anyone
do it before, he said. So I dont
know.
His next chance to show it off
will come against Richard Gas-
quet in the fourth round Monday.
Walking off court at almost 10
p.m. Friday, Murrayfoundhimself
inthefamiliar positionof carrying
British hopes into the second
week of Wimbledon on his own.
Yeah, Im used to it, he said.
Its been like that the last few
years.
In six appearances since 2005,
Murray has only once failed to
make the second week. In that
time, none of his British compa-
triots have managed to stay
around that long.
All threeof theBritishmenwho
received wild cards this year lost
in the first round. Three women
advanced to the second round
although one of thembeat anoth-
er British player.
Elena Baltacha and Laura Rob-
son bowed out of the womens
tournament in the second round
Friday. But their performances
were good enough to prevent the
familiar gloom surrounding Brit-
ish tennis to descend.
Trick shot helps vault Murray into fourth round
Its the second time in two
weeks that the Brit uses shot
that he flicks between his legs.

EUGENE, Ore. Anyone who
saw the way he slowly uncoiled
from his crouch and lumbered
down the track during his first
race at nationals could tell
something was wrong with Ty-
son Gay.
It turned out to be something
big a hip injury that forced one
of the worlds top sprinters and
one of the top challengers to
UsainBolt out of the meet, off the
U.S. team for worlds and into re-
hab mode with the London
Olympics only 13 months away.
Gay said he made the decision
Friday as he was talking to his
agents assistant while trying,
without much success, to warm
up before the 100-meter semifi-
nals.
He pulled me to the side and
said, I cant take it, seeing your
face keep grimacing, Gay told
The AssociatedPress. He said, I
know you do it because you love
it and its all you know. I decided
totrytoget readyandtake care of
it.
The hip has been bothering
Gay for most of the year, andafter
a lackluster run in Thursdays
prelims a major effort in a race
he can usually coast through
he said it was, in fact, bothering
him.
Instead of fighting through it
Friday, where he needed a top-
three finish to secure a spot in
worlds, he chose to shut it down.
He wont run in the 200, either.
Afterward, as he hobbled around
the perimeter of Hayward Field,
he was downcast, and not only
because this all but denies him a
chance to challenge Bolt this
year.
Im real bummed about not
running, period, Gay said. Its
all I know, its all I love. Its what I
study every day.
Gay said he couldnt look too
far into the future. Because he
competed in nationals, he is tech-
nically eligible for the U.S. relay
pool at worlds, though if the in-
jury turns out to be significant,
its unlikely hed receive one of
the two spots that dont go to the
100 qualifiers and the alternate.
It means the U.S. team will
probably have to do without its
top sprinter of the last several
years the 2007 world cham-
pion in the 100 and 200 and the
American record holder with a
time of 9.69 seconds. And it
would be a significant setback in
Gays quest to catch Bolt, who
holds the Olympic title andworld
records in the 100 and 200.
The mens 100 prelims at the
London Olympics are Aug. 4,
2012, a date very much on Gays
mind when he made the decision
to end his stay this week in Eu-
gene.
Ive been bandaging it up,
couldnt really take any more,
Gay said. I decided to stay
healthy. Its pretty painful run-

PHILADELPHIA In 30
whirlwind minutes, the Philadel-
phia Flyers changed the face of
the franchise just not the
course of it.
Jeff Carter and Mike Richards
ran out of time to bring the Stan-
ley Cup back to Philadelphia for
the first time since 1975. Linked
in the orange and black from
2003 when they were drafted to-
gether, Richards and Carter were
shown the door together in a pair
of franchise-shifting trades that
were as stunning in their swift-
ness as they were in execution.
Here comes the hard part.
Replacing them.
For all the questions and con-
cerns about how they handled
themselves in the locker room,
with the media, and on the
streets of Philadelphia, Carter
and Richards did do a few things
well namely score and win.
Carter had115goals thelast three
years, Richards, the team cap-
tain, had84 andthe Flyers fell on-
ly two wins shy in 2010 of win-
ning it all.
Thats all history. Forwards
James van Riemsdyk and Claude
Giroux now get their turn to car-
ry the burden of keeping the
Flyers inperennial contentionfor
a championship.
Younger, cheaper, and maybe
moretalented, vanRiemsdykand
Giroux gave a tantalizing taste
this season of how they can an-
chor a franchise. Giroux led the
Flyers with 76 points and was
named an All-Star. Van Riemsdyk
scored four goals in a sizzling, al-
beit abbreviated, postseason run.
Oh, and van Riemsdyk did so in
the playoffs while Carter was out
with an injury.
Van Riemsdyk knows its his
time to fill the void left by the de-
parted stars.
Im embracing this chal-
lenge, he told The Associated
Press.
Thats the kind of attitude that
makes 20,000 fans want to roar
and pound the boards at every
home game.
Van Riemsdyk was no different
from any other Flyer on Thurs-
day when he got the news that
general manager Paul Holmgren
tossed a thermal detonator into
the core of the roster. Van Riems-
dyk was napping when he was
floodedwithtexts lookingfor the
scoop. Defenseman Chris Pron-
ger was fishing with his kids
when he heard about the trades.
Pronger has been traded four
times, most recently to the Flyers
in2009, andunderstands whythe
duo expressed feelings of shock
and being hurt when told they
were no longer wanted.
But moving forward, Pronger,
a respected leader in the locker
room, is a prime candidate to as-
sume the captaincy. Richards
never felt comfortable in the role,
leaving Holmgren to scold the
team, or Danny Briere to rally
them like he did in the playoffs.
Richards frostyrelationshipwith
the media never helped alter the
perception that he was prema-
turely awarded the C, either.
Flyers set to move on after dealing two stars
With Carter, Richards dealt,
van Riemsdyk, Giroux get shot
to keep team in the title hunt.

chants from the dozens of fans
wearing white T-shirts with the
old red-and-blue Jets logo.
The Philadelphia Flyers, using
the eighth pick they obtained in
Thursdays stunning trade of lead-
ing scorer Jeff Carter to the Co-
lumbus Blue Jackets, took center
Sean Couturier of the Drum-
mondville Voltigeurs of the
QMJHL.
Defenseman Dougie Hamilton
was drafted ninth overall by the
Stanley Cup champion Boston
Bruins. The son of an Olympic
rower (dad) and basketball player
(mom), Hamiltonhad58points in
67 games last season for Niagara
in the OHL.
Then came more cheers from
the crowd, with defenseman Jo-
nas Brodin from Farjestad of the
Swedish Elite League drawing a
roar from the Wild fans in attend-
ance at Xcel Energy Center.
The Avalanche were the first
team to pick twice. They took de-
fenseman Duncan Siemens at No.
11, a selectionobtainedearlier this
year in a trade with the St. Louis
Blues headlined by defenseman
Erik Johnson, himself a former
No. 1 overall pick. Siemens was
plus-40 for the Saskatoon Blades
in the WHL last season.
The run of defenseman contin-
ued when Ryan Murphy went at
No. 12 to the Carolina Hurricanes.
He led OHL blue-liners with 26
goals last season for Kitchener.
Then at No. 13, the Calgary
Flames picked left wing Sven
Baertschi of the Portland Winter-
hawks of the WHL. The native of
Switzerland had 34 goals and 51
assists in 66 games last season.
The first American selection
and first college player was de-
fenseman Jamieson Oleksiak of
Northeastern University by the
Dallas Stars at No. 14. Another
American, center JonathanMiller,
went 15th to the New York Rang-
ers. Miller, headed for the Univer-
sity of North Dakota in the fall,
was part of the U.S. national team
development program. He had 37
points in 48 games last season in
the UnitedStates Hockey League.
The Minnesota Wild delighted
the home crowd, which roared as
NHL Commissioner Gary Be-
ttman announced their deal with
the San Jose Sharks. The Wild
sent All-Star defenseman Brent
Burns and their 2012 second-
round pick to the Sharks.
Theygot backapair of forwards
DevinSetoguchi, a former 30-goal
scorer, and Charlie Coyle, a first-
round pick last year; plus this
years first-round pick, 28th over-
all.
Chicago dealt right wing Troy
Brouwer to the Washington Cap-
itals for the 26th overall selection,
giving the Blackhawks a pair of
first-rounders.
The Oilers chose left wing Tay-
lor Hall from the Windsor Spit-
fires of the OHLNo. 1in 2010, and
Nugent-Hopkins could eventually
find himself on a line with him.
To get there, Nugent-Hopkins
has to bulk up. Listed at 6-foot-1
and164 pounds, the native of Brit-
ish Columbia said this week hes
added 10 pounds to that total
since the end of his junior season
and plans to pack on five more.
Steak and potatoes, mostly,
he saidwhenaskedabout his diet.
Just trying to put some weight
on.
Nugent-Hopkins saidhes heard
general manager SteveTambellini
is in no rush to bring himto Ed-
monton.
If I do go back to junior, I wont
be disappointed at all, Nugent-
Hopkins said. Itll be a great op-
portunity for us as Red Deer as a
team to hopefully get to the Me-
morial Cup. Personally, itll be a
good development year for me,
too. But my goal right now is to
make the Oilers.
The first British Columbian to
be taken first overall in the NHL
draft, Nugent-Hopkinshasalready
spoken with Hall.
He was so great to talk to. Ev-
erything looks good right now,
Nugent-Hopkins said. He just
said, Enjoy this whole experi-
ence. Youre going to be nervous
and stuff, but try to enjoy it as
much as you can.
As for their chemistry?
I guess well never know until
we get on the ice together, but
hopefully we do. I can see it work-
ing, Nugent-Hopkins said.
The remaining rounds, two
through seven, take place on Sat-
urday.
Left wing Gabriel Landeskog of
Sweden went second overall to
the Colorado Avalanche. He had
36 goals in 53 games last season
for the Kitchener Rangers of the
Ontario Hockey League.
Jonathan Huberdeau, a center
from Quebec, was taken third by
the Florida Panthers, whowere al-
so in the same slot for the second
year in a row. Huberdeau was the
MVP of the Quebec Major Junior
Hockey League playoffs after get-
ting three goals and three assists
in four games for the Saint Johns
Sea Dogs.
Adam Larsson, a 6-foot-3, 200-
pound defenseman from Sweden,
was selected fourth by the New
Jersey Devils. He played two full
seasons for Skelleftea and was the
third blue-liner to make his debut
inthe SwedishElite League at age
16.
Then the New York Islanders
chose center Ryan Strome of the
Niagara IceDogs of the OHL.
Strome was third in the league
with106points in65games. Islan-
ders right wingKyle Okposo, a na-
tive of Minnesota, introduced
Strome. The Islanders, too, were
picking fifth for the second
straight year.
After that, the Ottawa Senators
chose center Mika Zibanejadfrom
Djurgarden of the Swedish Elite
League. His mother is Finnish,
and his father is Iranian, but he
was born in Stockholm.
Then came the big announce-
ment by Winnipeg: The teamwill
becalledtheJets. FormerlytheAt-
lanta Thrashers, the franchise
waited until the seconds before
choosing center Mark Schiefele
with the seventh selection to an-
nounce the newer, old nick-
name.

OMAHA, Neb. Florida is in
the College World Series finals,
which is right where most peo-
ple in college baseball figured
they would be all along.
The second-seededGators ad-
vanced with a 6-4 victory over
Vanderbilt on Friday. Preston
Tucker drove in the go-ahead
runinthe eighthinning to offset
a shaky bullpenthat squandered
a three-run lead.
Florida (53-17) will play
South Carolina in the best-of-
three finals starting Monday.
For the Gators, its the place to
be to finish a year in which they
were the preseasonNo. 1-ranked
team, won the Southeastern
Conference tournament and
lost back-to-back games on only
two occasions.
South Carolina 3, Virginia 2,

OMAHA, Neb. Adam Mat-
thews scoredinthe bottomof the
13th inning after Virginia reliever
Cody Winiarski botched two
throws after fielding bunts, send-
ing defending national champion
South Carolina back to the Col-
lege World Series finals.
South Carolina closer Matt
Price worked out of bases-loaded
jams in the 10th, 12th and 13th.
The Gamecocks (53-14) will
play Florida (53-17) beginning
Monday.
Brady Thomas singled lead-
ing off the 13th against Winiar-
ski. Matthews came in to run
and advanced when Winiarski
pivoted and threw wildly trying
to get him at second on Peter
Mooneys bunt.

PHILADELPHIA The
Philadelphia Phillies have
placed right-hander Roy Oswalt
on the 15-day disabled list with
a back injury.
Reliever Scott Mathieson was
recalled from
Triple-A Le-
high Valley to
replace Oswalt,
who was side-
lined with a
back injury
earlier this
year.
Oswalt is 4-6
with a 3.79 ERA in 13 games.
The three-time All-Star is 1-5
with a 4.06 ERA over his last
eight starts.
In other moves, catcher Brian
Schneider was activated from
the disabled list and lefty J.C.
Romero was given his uncondi-
tional release. Catcher Dane
Sardinha was outrighted to
Lehigh Valley to make room for
Schneider.
New York Yankees
TAMPA, Fla. Yankees
shortstop Derek Jeter doesnt
know when he will be able to
return from a strained right calf.
The team captain, on the
disabled list since June 14, is
still awaiting clearance from the
Yankees medical staff to resume
running, hitting and fielding
grounders.
Hes six hits shy of 3,000, a
chase thats been on hold since
getting hurt June 13.
Also, right-hander Bartolo
Colon, sidelined by a strained
right hamstring, threw 31 pitches
in his first bullpen session. He
also ran sprints in the outfield for
the second consecutive day.
Converted reliever Mark
Prior, on the DL at Triple-A
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre due to a
strained groin, played catch and
is scheduled to have a mound
session today.
Washington Nationals
CHICAGO John McLaren
is moving from bench coach to
interim manager of the Wash-
ington Nationals following the
stunning resignation of Jim
Riggleman.
McLarens duties began Fri-
day when the Nationals opened
a three-game series against the
Chicago White Sox at U.S. Cel-
lular Field.
The Nationals had won 11 of
12 before Riggleman quit after a
1-0 victory over Seattle on
Thursday, saying he felt the
franchise wasnt committed to
him over the long term.
Riggleman wanted the Na-
tionals to pick up his contract
option for next year, and said
the reluctance of general manag-
er Mike Rizzo to have a meeting
on the subject reinforced his
feeling that he was merely a
placeholder until the team could
find someone better.
Boston Red Sox
PITTSBURGH Boston Red
Sox pitcher Josh Becketts next
start has been pushed back to
help him recover from an illness
that left him bedridden earlier
this week.
Veteran knuckleballer Tim
Wakefield will start in Becketts
spot Saturday against the Pitts-
burgh Pirates, with Beckett not
taking the hill again until Tues-
day when the Red Sox travel to
Philadelphia. Andrew Miller will
face the Pirates on Sunday.
Boston manager Terry Fran-
cona said Friday that Beckett
felt well enough to pitch this
weekend but that it wasnt in
his best interest. Francona said
the delay will allow Beckett to
go through his normal prep-
aration before facing the NL
East-leading Phillies.

SONOMA, Calif. NAS-
CARs top series shifted to the
road course at Infineon Raceway
this weekend, where the focus
shouldhave beenonthe winding
track and the ringers who ar-
rived looking for a rare victory.
Instead, side stories again
dominated discussions.
Carl Edwards remained silent
Friday on his free agency status,
dodging and weaving every
question about his contract
talks. The industry is waiting to
see how things shake out for the
Sprint Cup Series points leader
because hes considered the first
domino in what could become a
frenzied signing period.
There could also be two fewer
seats to fill after the announce-
ment this weekthat RedBull will
leave NASCAR at the end of the
season, news that weighed heav-
ily throughout the garage.
And to think, this annual trip
to picturesque Sonoma is sup-
posed to be a reprieve from the
weekly NASCAR grind!
Edwards found himself in the
center of the spotlight on one of
his biggest weekends of the year.
He travels back and forth from
California to Wisconsin to race
in Sundays main event at Sono-
ma and the Nationwide Series
race at Road America today.
Hes beendoggedby rumors of
meetings withJoe Gibbs Racing,
whichcouldbetheonlyteamshy
of Red Bull with enough financ-
ing to lure Edwards from Roush
Fenway Racing. But he didnt
stray from his policy of keeping
business dealings private.
We are workinghardonit and
we do all that stuff behind closed
doors, Edwards said. I have
heard rumors about all different
teams for the last two years. The
thing I am going to do is keep
working on it and working on it
privately. I think that is the best
way for me.
But hes the points leader and
alegitimatethreat towinhis first
Cup title this year. Although he
said hed be content to wait until
the season is over to sign a con-
tract, its not reallyrealistic. That
constant speculation could wear
on his No. 99 team, regardless of
how hard crew chief Bob Os-
borne tries to keep the focus on
the big prize.
We have to get it done. There
is that feeling of Hey, we would
liketoget this donebeforeweget
into the Chase, Edwards said.
I amnot going to force anything
or rush anything. I am going to
go about it in a methodical way.
Edwards alsohas faiththat Os-
borne will not allowdistractions
to derail the team.
I have worked really hard in
my career trying to minimize
distractions, Edwards said.
That is one thing I am very for-
tunate that with Bob Osborne,
that guy is non-emotional about
racing. He just goes about his
business. I think that no matter
howthings goor howlongwede-
lay this or howlong it takes ... we
will race fine as a team.
It is a difficult thing though
because there are so many per-
sonalities that have to come to-
gether to get everything to work.
We have to stay focused on our
goal to win the championship,
no matter what.
Thats the dilemma Kasey
Kahne and Kenny Francis find
themselves in at Red Bull.
Although Kahne was already
scheduled to move to Hendrick
Motorsports next season, hes
been put in yet another difficult
situation. This time last year, he
knew he wouldnt be returning
to Richard Petty Motorsports,
and had to hope his team
wouldnt quit on him late in the
year.
Now, he and Francis are trying
to hold things together this sea-
son.
I think what happens is, even
(when) there were rumblings of
what ended up happening, a lot
of the pit crewand guys working
on the cars were like, Man, what
amI going to do? I have family,
Kahne said. As soon as that gets
started, it doesnt make the team
any better. Thats just the way it
is. Theres no way it can be good.
You start thinking about your
life and things, your family. That
makes it difficult.

Withtrainingcamps set toopen
in another month, NFL owners
and players will resume negotia-
tions next week, hoping to build
on recent talks, two people famil-
iar with the discussions told The
Associated Press on Friday.
While each side has acknowl-
edgedprogress inthe four-month-
old lockout, a new collective bar-
gaining agreement isnt immi-
nent. One of the two people who
spoke on condition of anonymity
said conference calls are being set
up to discuss various issues, but
not themajor oneof splittingreve-
nues.
The person said that was being
negotiated face to face.
The two people declined to be
identified because the meetings
were confidential.
The sides completed two days
of talks at a beachfront resort in
Hull, Mass., on Thursday. On
hand were NFL Commissioner
Roger Goodell, owners JohnMara
of the New York Giants, Jerry Ri-
chardson of the Carolina Pan-
thers, Clark Hunt of the Kansas
City Chiefs, Robert Kraft of the
New England Patriots and Dean
Spanosof theSanDiegoChargers.
NFLPA executive director De-
Maurice Smith also was present
along with several players, includ-
ingJeff Saturdayof the Indianapo-
lis Colts, Tony Richardson of the
New York Jets and Domonique
Foxworth of the Baltimore Rav-
ens.
Someone asked me whether I
was optimistic, Smith said. I
think were both optimistic when
we have the right people in the
room. We know were talking
about the right issues and that
wereworkinghardtoget it done.
Previous meetings tookplacein
suburban Chicago, New York and
the Maryland shore.
Once the owners and players
can agree on how to divide reve-
nues $9.3 billion last year
other issues suchas a rookie wage
scale, benefits for retired players,
andplayer healthandsafety could
fall in line quickly. Still, its almost
July, and training camps are
scheduled to open late next
month. The first preseason game
is Aug. 7 at Canton, Ohio.
This week, two teams the
Ravens and Jets said they
wouldtrainat their regular-season
facilities and not out of town. Bal-
timore canceled its camp at Win-
chester, Md., and New York did
the same for Cortland, N.Y.
With all the variables present-
edbythisuniqueoffseason, wefelt
it wasbest fortheJetsthat wehold
ourtrainingcamphereat ourprac-
tice facility, general manager
Mike Tannenbaumsaid Friday.
Also this week, league owners
were briefed on a plan that would
give the players just under 50 per-
cent of total income. An off-the-
top expense credit of about $1bil-
lion that went to the owners
would be eliminated.
N F L
Labor talks to resume as training camp nears
Revenue sharing remains the
biggest issue; both sides hope
to build on recent meetings..

NEWTON, Iowa Taku-
ma Sato earned his first pole
in the IndyCar series for to-
nights race in Iowa and will
be joined on the front row by
Danica Patrick.
Sato had the top qualifying
run Friday, finishing just
aheadof asurgingPatrick. Its
the best start of the year for
Patrick, whos still lookingfor
her first IndyCar win on
American soil.
Patricks lone win came in
Japan in 2008.
Satos previous best start
was third last year at Mid-
Ohio. He ran strong at Iowa a
year agobefore he hit the wall
73 laps from the finish.
Defending champion Tony
Kanaan will start third. J.R.
Hildebrand, whos best
known for his final lap crash
at the Indianapolis 500, will
be fourth.
Series co-points leaders
Will Power and Dario Fran-
chitti will start fifthandsixth,
respectively.
Satousedtorace inFormu-
la One and is a big star in his
native Japan, but recorded
just one top-10 finish as a roo-
kie last year. Hes done much
better this season, highlight-
edbyfifth-place finishes inSt.
Petersburg and Texas.
Winning the pole at Iowa
just might top them all.
Its an important day, and
it means a lot, Sato said. Its
reallyafantastic achievement
from the whole team.
Though Sato and Patrick
will start up front, everyone
in the field knows that Fran-
chittis car will be the one
theyll likely be chasing.
Franchitti wonthefirst race
here in 2007. After a year off
to pursue a NASCAR career,
he returnedwithChipGanas-
si in 2009 and blew away the
field, beating runner-up Ryan
Briscoe by five seconds.
A gear box issue ended
Franchittis string of luck at
Iowalast year, thoughheleda
race-high69laps beforestum-
bling to an18th-place finish.
Franchitti alsohas wontwo
of the last three races this sea-
son, taking the first of a dou-
bleheader in Texas and win-
ning fromthe pole at Milwau-
kee last week while leading
161 laps.
I wasnt happy with the
run, actually. The balance
wasnt very good, Franchitti
said. Not too concerned
though, because I think you
can win here from fairly far
back in the field. Its all about
how good your race car is.
Hopefully, well do a better
jobwiththat thanwedidwith
the qualifying car.
Franchitti, the two-time de-
fending IndyCar champ, en-
tered the weekend tied with
Power at the top of the points
standings. It would seem im-
perativefor Franchitti toopen
up a lead at Iowa with road
courses which are Powers
specialty scheduled for
five of the next six races.
Powers not the slouch he
used to be on ovals, though.
He took the pole here last
year, but wasnt muchof a fac-
tor once the race got going,
finishing fifth. Power finally
broke through with an oval at
Texas though the fact that
Franchitti was stuck in the
back by a blind draw didnt
hurt and placed in the top
five in each of his last three
oval runs.

NEW YORK NBA players
declined to present a new eco-
nomic proposal to owners Friday,
less than a week before the expi-
ration of the collective bargain-
ing agreement.
Dressed in matching T-shirts
urging solidarity, about 40 play-
ers attended Fridays negotiating
session, the final one before own-
ers could vote on whether to lock
them out if no deal is reached.
Owners had hoped for another
proposal from the union, but
players felt they had gone far
enough after they offered a $500
million reduction in salaries over
five years on Tuesday, a move
Commissioner David Stern
termed modest.
Why did we not make one?
Because we felt that the one that
we made previously was suffi-
cient, players association exec-
utive director Billy Hunter said.
The owners will meet Tuesday
in Dallas. The sides could then
meet at least one more time be-
fore the CBA expires June 30.
Stern and Deputy Commis-
sioner Adam Silver offered few
details of the four-hour session,
nor would they speculate on
what actions they would take
Tuesday when the Board of Gov-
ernors meets. Silver saidit would
be premature to talk about
where were going to find our-
selves next week.
Withmanyintownfor theplay-
ers representative meetings,
Hunter said he was told Thurs-
day night the players haddecided
to go to Fridays session. He said
the players were sending a mess-
age of solidarity by attending
the meeting and wearing shirts
reading STAND.
We have to stand together, we
have to be unified and be pre-
pared to address whatever the
circumstance is, but address it to-
gether, he said, referring to the
players intentions.
Celtics All-Stars Paul Pierce
and Kevin Garnett were among
the players who joined the exec-
utive committee and both spoke
in the meeting. Stern said the
shirts were nicely done, adding
its great tohave somany players
in the room.

PHILADELPHIANikola Vu-
cevic and Lavoy Allen helped the
76ers get big.
Now, they can only hope that
means theyll help them get bet-
ter.
Vucevic and Allen were intro-
duced by the Philadelphia 76ers
on Friday, a day after they were
picked in the NBA draft. The 7-
foot, 260-pound Vucevic, out of
USC, was taken with the 16th
overall pick. The 6-foot-9, 225-
pound forward Allen, out of Tem-
ple, was their second-round pick.
Both are expected to bolster a
frontcourt that lacked size.
We just needed to get bigger,
team president Rod Thorn said.
Were very scrappy, but small.
Skilled big players are hard to
come by. If you a get a chance to
get skilled big players, its really
hard to pass up.
Thorn said Vucevic and Allen
cancontribute next seasonandfit
into the Sixers long-range plans
astheytryandmaketheleapfrom
41 wins and a playoff berth to 50
and a deeper postseason run.
Vucevic skipped his senior sea-
sonwiththeTrojans todeclarefor
thedraft. Heiscomingoff thebest
season of his career. He was All-
Pac-10, averaginga team-high17.1
points and a conference-best 10.3
rebounds.
I feel like I can help this team
by bringing something different,
he said. I feel its going to be a
great fit for me.
In a bit of a surprise, both play-
ers might yet share a locker room
with Andre Iguodala. Long the
subject of trade rumors, Iguodala
not only wasnt traded on draft
night, but coach Doug Collins
said the Sixers arent shopping
him.
Theproblemwiththat is, (Igu-
odala) is thinking, Well, they
must be shopping me. They dont
want me, Collins said. Thats
not the case. That was never even
in play. Thats a hard thing be-
cause you start reading that stuff
and you think we dont want
them. We want Dre. We want him
back.
Collins and his assistant coach-
es are set to hit the road and visit
with the entire roster before the
CBAexpires on June 30.
We want to make sure guys
have everything they need be-
cause we cant talk to them(after
Thursday), so weve got to make
sure theyre training, he said.
Werenot allowedtoprovideany-
thing for them, any therapy or
anything like that. Soweve got to
make sure theyve got everything
they need. Weve got to hit the
ground running in case that hap-
pens.
The Sixers are plenty familiar
with Allen. Thorn called him a
first-round talent who only
slipped to the second round be-
cause of questions about his pas-
sion for the game.
Allen is Temples career re-
bound leader (1,147) and 24th on
the all-time scoring list with1,421
points. Hes also third in blocked
shots (213). He averaged a dou-
ble-double as a junior, but his re-
bounding numbers dipped his se-
nior season.

Nike Reports
There are some brands shoppers
wont give up. Consumers have
been reluctant to trade their Nike
sneakers for cheaper labels, even
during a tough economy. Sales rose
around the world during the winter.
But the companys income was
lower than expected because of
higher costs. Investors arent used to
Nike falling below expectations. Nike
will need to beat forecasts to please
investors when it reports fiscal
fourth-quarter earnings Monday.
No factory comeback
Investors got a shock June 1
when the Institute for Supply
Management reported that U.S.
manufacturing activity in May
grew at the slowest pace in 20
months. The industry had led the
recovery from the recession. The
report was one of several indica-
tions that the Japanese earth-
quake and tsunami hurt business
for U.S. factories. Analysts
expect Fridays ISM report to
show that levels of manufactur-
ing stayed roughly flat in June.
Reading Consumers
Recent reports on everything
from housing to employment
have been weak, and that sug-
gests that the economy isnt
recovering as fast as economists
had expected. Investors want to
know how much that has affected
consumers. Monday brings the
Commerce Departments reports
on what consumers earned and
spent in May. On Tuesday, the
Conference Board reports how
consumers felt about the
economy in June.

Shares post loss for week
Stocks fell Friday, giving the market
another losing week, after poor earn-
ings reports from two major technol-
ogy companies suggested that compa-
nies invested less in new technology as
the economic recovery slowed.
Fears of a spreading European debt
crisis also weighed on markets. Italian
bank stocks plunged and trading in
some of them was halted after Moodys
warned that it might downgrade their
credit ratings.
The decline erased all of this weeks
gains for the Dow Jones industrial
average and S&P index. The broad
stock market has now fallen for seven
of the eight last weeks, largely because
of concerns that the U.S. economy is
slowing and that Europes debt prob-
lems may lead to another financial
crisis.
The S&P 500 is down 7 percent
since it hit a high for the year April 29.
Google under scrutiny
Federal regulators have begun a
formal antitrust investigation into
Googles business practices.
In a blog post Friday, the Internet
search giant said it received notifica-
tion from the Federal Trade Commis-
sion of the review on Thursday.
The inquiry is expected to focus in
large part on whether Google abuses
its dominance of Internet search to
extend its influence into other lucrative
online markets, such as mapping, com-
parison shopping and travel.
Rivals complain that Google, which
handles two out of every three Internet
searches in the U.S., manipulates its
results to steer users to its own sites
and services and bury links to compet-
itors.
Draghi new ECB leader
European Union leaders appointed
Italys Mario Draghi as the next presi-
dent of the European
Central Bank on Friday
a move that gives
investors much-needed
certainty over who will
lead the institution in
its pivotal role in the
fight against the crip-
pling debt crisis.
The head of Italys central bank,
Draghi is expected to adopt his prede-
cessors tough stand on inflation when
he takes over the helm of the ECB on
Nov. 1, a day after the term of Presi-
dent Jean-Claude Trichet expires.
Report: GoDaddy being sold
GoDaddy, the domain-name regis-
tration company known for its racy
Super Bowl ads, is close to being pur-
chased by two private investment firms
for $2 billion to $2.5 billion, according
to a person close to the deal.
The deal is being co-led by Silver
Lake Partners and KKR & Co., accord-
ing to the person. Private equity and
venture capital firm Technology Cross-
over Ventures will be involved as a
lesser partner.
The Go Daddy Group Inc. was found-
ed in 1997 by Bob Parsons, who contin-
ues to serve as its CEO.

WILKES-BARRE Homeownership
plays a direct impact in local econo-
mies, and when fewer homes are built,
those economies suffer.
On Thursday, homebuilders, poten-
tial buyers and housing industry ex-
perts will come together at a housing
symposium to assess the impact of a
sluggish-to-recover housing market on
Northeastern Pennsylvania.
The Institute for Public Policy & Ec-
onomic Development and local build-
ers associations will host its third an-
nual Housing Symposium at the Qual-
ity Inn & Suites on Kidder Street.
Shelly Harlander, a research assist-
ant at the institute, said new building
permits in Luzerne County declined
from 760 in 2005 to 340 in 2009, the
most recent year for which statistics
are available. Aggregate dollars invest-
ed in new home construction also fell
from $127.6 million in 2005 to $60.9
million in 2009.
The situation was comparable in
Lackawanna County, where building
permits declined from 466 to 319, and
aggregate dollars invested decreased
from $87.7 million to $56.7 million in
the same time frame.
New home construction in the re-
gion is also lagging behind the state-
wide average, and Harlander said that
impacts the areas economy.
When there are more homeowners
there is more of an economic impact
because the banks are doing more busi-
ness, homebuilders are doing more
business, (and) contractors are doing
more business, Harlander said. Its
money thats pumped into the region.
Homebuilding also creates jobs, and
homeownership has indirect positive
effects for communities, she added.
It definitely adds to peoples pride
and forms a tie to the community, she
said. As a renter youdont have that tie
to the community that you would as a
homeowner.
Harlander said the conference
should shed light on how the area
housing market is recovering. Keynote
speaker David Crowe, chief economist
at the National Association of Home
Builders, is an expert in housing and
economic trend forecasting, and
should have more recent data about
the area housing market, Harlander
said.
The event also will provide potential
homebuyers an opportunity to net-
work with builders and contractors
and information about incentives and
services available to homebuyers.

WANT TO GO?
PITTSBURGH Need help defus-
ing a bomb, mowing a lawn or scrap-
ing old paint?
President BarackObamasawrobots
that candothose tasks onFridaywhen
he visited the National Robotics Engi-
neering Center at Carnegie Mellon
University. Its one of eight research
centers at the schools Robotics Insti-
tute.
The institute has beena global force
in robotics development over the last
30 years. Its scientists have created ro-
bot vehicles to scout out war zones,
medical robots, entertainment robots
and even the SnackBot, which ferries
snacks to people so scientists can
study how humans respond to ma-
chines.
Obamas main theme was that ad-
vanced manufacturing has the poten-
tial to fuel job growth. He called for a
joint effort by industry, universities
and the federal government to help re-
position the United States as a leader
in cutting-edge manufacturing.
With growing interest from the mil-
itary, businesses and consumers, the
Carnegie Mellon Robotics Institute
has more than 500 technical experts
and a $65 million annual budget. And
its scientists arent just asking ques-
tions theyre building robots that
ask questions, too.
Institute director Matthew Mason
told The Associated Press that in the
early days of robotics research the vi-
sion was for machines to do the dull,
dirty or dangerous jobs that humans
shun.
But nowwe think not so much of a
robot instead of a person, but of robot-
ic technology working with people,
Mason said. That could mean helping
the elderly or sick cope with basic
household tasks, or helping a doctor
perform surgery.
Now the question may be how hu-
mans react to such new robots.
Mason says that theres always been
the issue of human trust in technolo-
gy.
For many years a lot of us were re-
luctant to get into medical robotics,
he said, because of a fear that a robot
mistake might cause harm to a pa-
tient, and thus tarnish the whole field.
But Mason thinks that the success
of robots that identify and dispose of
bombs in the Iraq and Afghanistan
wars has helped change views.
You cant look at the wreckage
without feeling grateful that no hu-
man life was lost, he said.

WASHINGTON -- The federal gov-
ernment needs to open its borders to
attract and retain talented scientists
for drugmakers to employ, Eli Lilly &
Co. Chief Executive Officer John Le-
chleiter told a technology conference
Thursday.
The pharmaceutical industry faces
$1.3 billion in development costs for a
single drug and had 95 Food and Drug
Administration clearances in the past
five years, the lowest in such a span
since the late 1970s. The industry is in
a six-year window when products that
make up 40 percent of pharmaceutical
sales lose patent protection, equiva-
lent to a $100 billion loss in annual rev-
enue, he said.
Lechleiter called for U.S. immigra-
tion officials to issue more green
cards, formally called permanent resi-
dent cards, for highly skilled immi-
grants along with adopting a shorter,
simpler process to obtain the proof to
live and work in the U.S.
His remarks were part of a five-point
proposal to reinvigorate U.S. innova-
tion at a Washington conference.
To those that argue that these im-
migrants are taking jobs from Ameri-
cans, I say baloney, according to a
draft of prepared remarks provided to
Bloomberg. And it surely beats the al-
ternative; talented people trained in
the U.S. returning to their native coun-
try or going elsewhere to start or help
a foreign firm to compete against us.
He added: You want a job killer?
Thats a job killer.
Lechleiter also called for bigger tax
breaks and an FDA approval process
that more evenly weighs safety and
benefits.
The corporate tax rate needs to be
dropped as low as 20 percent and the
U.S. shouldnt tax the overseas earn-
ings of U.S. companies, he said.

BUFFALO, N.Y. Cheerios, the
iconic cereal, known by its distinctive
yellowbox, is 70 years old this year and
still a force on the breakfast cereal mar-
ket. One out of every eight boxes of ce-
real sold in America carries the Cheer-
ios name.
Theyve been around since the be-
ginningof man, right? saidKathyScott
in Cape Coral, Fla. For her, the cereals
linked to memories of childhood Satur-
day morning cartoons.
To make Cheerios, balls of dough are
heatedandshot out of a puffinggun at
hundreds of miles an hour, according to
General Mills. The companys water-
front plant in Buffalo has been firing
them off since 1941, often cloaking the
city with a distinctive toasty-with-a-
sweet-finish aroma and inspiring T-
shirts announcing My city smells like
Cheerios. More than10 shapes and siz-
es were considered before the makers
settled on little Os.
Sincethen, thecompanys introduced
several new flavors, starting with Hon-
ey Nut in 1979 and last year, chocolate.
In 2009, sales of Honey Nut Cheerios
surpassedtheoriginal flavor for thefirst
time and remain in the top spot today.
Minneapolis-based General Mills be-
gan advertising Cheerios (first called
Cheerioats) as a first food for toddlers
in1974. Since1999, the company has fo-
cused on promoting the cereal as
healthy; its made from whole-grain
oats, with 3 grams of fiber and1gramof
sugar per serving. But in 2009, federal
regulators took issue with the cereal
boxs claimthat it was clinically proven
to help lower cholesterol. In a warning
letter, the Food and Drug Administra-
tion said only FDA-approved drugs can
make such a claim.
General Mills, in its response, stood
by the claims and said the FDAs com-
plaints dealt with how the language ap-
pears on the box, not the cereal itself.
The case is still open, an FDA spokes-
woman said.

Here we are not
yet halfway
through the year
and already our
total rainfall is
well over half
the normal
amount we get
for an entire
year. So far I've
measured 32
inches of rain.
Over in the
Poconos the
total is
approaching 36
inches. There is
no indication
that the second
half of this year
will be as wet as
the rst, but we
may well be on
track for this to
end up one of
the top 10
wettest years on
record. A scat-
tering of show-
ers will likely
show up on
radar again
today, but as
drier air moves
in tonight,
Sunday looks dry
with more com-
fortable humidi-
ty levels. More
rain could arrive
on Monday.

NATIONAL FORECAST: A series of frontal boundaries draped across the Plains and Midwest will trig-
ger several rounds of strong to severe thunderstorms today, and heavy rain may exacerbate ongoing
ooding along the Missouri River. Expect scattered showers and thunderstorms across parts of New

THE TIMES LEADER SATURDAY, JUNE 25, 201 1

Stainless-steel appliances. Theyre
eye-pleasing, sleek and darned near a
cliche these days.
But that ubiquity means a lot of peo-
ple are wrestling with the same prob-
lem: how to keep stainless steel clean,
ward off scratches and keep a noto-
riously touchy surface factory-fresh.
Deservedly or not, stainless steel has
picked up a reputation as something of
a dirt magnet.
It is a surface that requires a certain
amount of attention, said Celia Ku-
perszmid Lehrman, deputy home edi-
tor at Consumer Reports. A good way
to understand that is to go to the ap-
pliance sectionat a store andlook at the
appliances. And youll see they often do
have fingerprints all over them.
If theres one silver lining to this, its
that manufacturers of appliances and
household cleaning products have
heard the concerns and fired back with
waves of cleansers, coatings and stain-
less-steel alternatives.
When approaching stainless mainte-
nance, think loosely of your car, said
Scott Bennett, kitchen and bath design-
er at the midtown Kansas City Home
Depot.
After all, a lot of the current wave of
stainless cleaning products can act a bit
like a car wax, Bennett said. One prod-
uct he recommends is Stainless Steel
Magic, which he said minimizes finger-
prints and gives a polished look. Simple
Greens Stainless Steel One-Step Clean-
er & Polish is another winner, he said,
and both cost just a few dollars.
Also similar to car maintenance:
stainless steel responds better to dedi-
cated stainless cleaning products, Ben-
nett said.
You can use other cleaners or just
soap and water, he said. But it will
probably leave streaks and water spots.
If you just take a damp cloth and wipe it
down, youll have streaks, and youll do
nothing to prevent fingerprints.
Others say it comes down to personal
preference.
Jeff Adams of the Mop Bucket, a Kan-
sas City cleaning-supply store for
homeowners and commercial-cleaning
services, said if you want a glow, an
oil-based stainless steel cleaner is the
way to go. But oil-based products can
dull as soon as water hits the surface.
For a more natural look, Adams said
he prefers non-ammonia glass cleaner
or a water-based stainless cleaner.
Its not going to give you a great
shine; its just going to clean it and re-
move smudges, he said.
Whatever you use, dont overdo it,
he said. Fingerprints, smeared surfaces
and grease buildup come largely from
using too much stainless-steel cleaner
andthe more youuse, the more mon-
ey youre spending.
Consumer Reports has found fewdif-
ferences among cleaners and recom-
mends consumers pick the least expen-
sive optionavailable, KuperszmidLehr-
man said.
Another cleaning key: Use a lint-free
cloth. Paper towels will work fine, but
lint-free microfiber probably will pro-
Stainless-steel appliances take a light touch

Stainless steel tends to do better
with material-specific cleansers that
dont leave streaks. Some act almost
like car wax and help prevent finger-
prints and smudges.
Whatever you use, dont overdo it. Fingerprints, smeared sur-
faces and grease buildup come largely from using too much
stainless-steel cleaner and the more you use, the more
money youre spending.

s he talks about a plan to play a trick on his wife, King Oberon describes
her flowery bed. I knowa bank where the wild thyme blows, he tells
his sidekick, Puck. Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows. Quite
over-canopied with luscious woodbine and sweet musk roses.
Sigh. If the Bards words in A Midsummer
Nights Dream make you yearn for a bower of
floral delights suitable for the fairyqueen, Tita-
nia, youll want to visit the Shakespeare Gar-
den at Misericordia University.
Tucked behind the Insalaco Building and
near the library on the Dallas Township cam-
pus, the quiet spot boasts plenty of thyme and
violets as well as many other herbs, flowers
and trees William Shakespeare mentioned in
his writings 400 years ago.
He would have been familiar with many
plants, Back Mountain Bloomer Barbara Soy-
ka said with a knowing smile. His mother had
a garden, and his wife had a garden, and if we
know anything about wives and mothers, we
know they put you to work.
The Shakespeare Garden at Misericordia is
one of seven green spaces you can visit July 2
on a tour sponsored by the Back Mountain
Bloomers. Tickets are $25, and proceeds bene-
fit the Anthracite Scenic Trails Association.

Holy smoke, were deep into grilling season again.
For the true grill master, the season never ends, but tra-
dition calls the rest of us to worship at the charcoal altar
once Memorial Day arrives.
And its not enough to smoke your chicken or grill that
tri-tip. You have to do it with some style and flair, and
with the latest and coolest barbecue tools and gadgets
you can find.
Here are some tools that caught our eye.
Himalayan salt plate
This oneintriguedus themost.
These are thick, hand-cut slabs of
pink Himalayan salt that can be
used on the grill, on the range top
or in the oven. You also can chill
themfor servingsushi andappetiz-
ers. On the barbecue, use themfor
cooking fish, flank steak or what-
ever you please. And dont be
fooled by the salt. The plates give
your food extra flavor, but it wont
oversalt it. Heat themslowly, wash
byhandandallowtodrycomplete-
ly before using again. Get two
one for grilling, one for presenta-
tion. ($30, Sur La Table)
Xtrema ceramic skillet
Ceramic may be the perfect
tool for the grill. It withstands
high temperatures and is easy to
clean, though you need to handle
it with a little care. Because it
contains no metal, youll avoid
what can sometimes be a metal-
lic taste in your fire-grilled foods.
($50 to $135, depending on size,
www.Ceramcor.com
Cuisinart outdoor steak
thermometers
Besides just beingdarnedcute,
these small individual thermom-
eters (four to a box) will help you
keep track of what youre doing
and turn out medium, medium-
rare and rare steaks as if you were
born to it. ($15, Barbeques Ga-
lore)
Double raft skewers
These two-prong skewers
make it easy togrill longor round
vegetables (asparagus and mush-
rooms, for example). Skewer
them up and pop them on the
grill. ($7, Sur La Table)
Cuisinart cast-iron grilled
pizza set
Theres something about mak-
ing pizza on the grill that chal-
lenges our inner outdoor chef,
and this set can improve the odds
of success. You get a12-inch grill-
ing platter, pizza peel and12-inch
serving tray. ($60,
www.Kohls.com)
Oregon scientific wireless bbq
thermometer
The wireless thermometer ap-
peals to the gadget geek in us.
The thermometer allows you to
keeptabs onyour grill evenwhile
youre on the other side of the
yard blowing up the kiddie pool.
Set the doneness alert, clip the
receiver to your belt, and know
your brisket is safe. ($50,
www.Kohls.com)
Cast-iron grill humidifier
Help keep your meat moist or
add a little extra flavor with this
set of two Charcoal Companion
Moistly Grilled humidifiers. Fill
the narrow cast-iron boxes with
water, beer, wine, juices or other
liquid, plop it on the grill and let
the steam do the rest. ($30, al-
though we got ours on sale for
$20, Sur La Table)
Copper rib rack
The rack holds up to five slabs
of ribs in a vertical position that
not only prevents burning but al-
so frees up space on the grill for
something else. We like the cop-
per color, too. ($15, Barbeques
Galore)
Panel grilling platter
Space is always a premium on
our grill, so we were intrigued
with this divided stainless-steel
platter that has a baking stone on
one side and a cedar grilling
plank on the other, from Cuisi-
nart. ($40, www.Kohls.com)
Artisan fire pizza oven
This goes beyond a grilling
gadget, but we couldnt resist in-
cluding one high-tech, big ticket
item, and this one certainly fills
the bill. The pizza oven by Kala-
mazoo Outdoor Gourmet, is the
first countertopoutdoor pizza ov-
en with two independently con-
trolled burners. In 20 minutes,
theovencanheat uptomorethan
800 degrees, meaning you can
cook a Neapolitan-style pizza in
as little as three minutes. It also
can be used for calzone and
bread. ($6,495, www.kalamazoo-
gourmet.com.)
COOL TOOLS FOR HOT GRILLING
Himalayan salt blocks impart flavor to
food grilled on them.
The Pizza Grill Set from Outset is a
stainless-steel grilling box with a
ceramic stone.
Barbecue racks allow more ribs to fit
onto the grill.
This grill humidifier holds liquids to
add flavor.

Some herbs
that are tricky
to grow in the
ground do well
in containers:
Try lemon balm,
Forest Green par-
sley and lemon
thyme.
Some herbs that are tricky to
grow in the ground do well in
containers. Here are six recom-
mended by Fine Gardening mag-
azine:
Lemon thyme (Thymus x ci-
triodorus and cultivars). Lemon
thyme can forma scraggly mat in
the ground, but it grows in an at-
tractive mound in a pot.
Alaska nasturtium(Tropaeo-
lum majus Alaska). This annual
has cream and green foliage,
which makes it attractive even
when its not blooming.
Lemon balm (Melissa offici-
nalis and cultivars). Lemon balm
spreads aggressively in the gar-
den, but a pot keeps it in check.
Its best to start new
plants in spring by di-
viding the original plant, discard-
ing woody growth and repotting
in fresh soil.
Genovese basil (Ocimum
basilicum Genovese). This an-
nual is vigorous and has a sweet
clove flavor.
Variegated pineapple mint
(Mentha suaveolens Variegata).
This mint has ruffled, cream-
edged leaves and a taste thats
sweet andfruity but not like pine-
apple. It can take over damp cor-
ners in a garden but behaves in a
container.
Forest Green parsley (Petro-
selinum crispum Forest Green).
This parsley not only makes an
attractive plant, but it does well
in hot weather and grows back
quickly after many cuts.

Nature doesnt appear willing
to cut consumers a break. Nei-
ther does the economy.
Longer, colder winters turn
quickly into prolonged, hotter
summers. To add insult to inju-
ry, it seems to be happening
while the cost of energy is sky-
rocketing.
Recent 90-degree-plus days in
the nations East tested the en-
durance of even those who
thrive on sultry weather. As
household electric meters spin
at warp speed, how can you rein
in energy costs and remain as
comfortable as possible?
My first response wouldbe to
add insulation to ensure a well-
sealedhouse, but if homeowners
cannot manage it in the middle
of a heat wave, I understand,
said Ronnie Kweller, a spokes-
woman for the nonprofit Alli-
ance to Save Energy in Washing-
ton.
A no-heavy-lifting alternative:
buying an Energy Star-rated pro-
grammable thermostat for as
little as $25.
Whenthe house is empty, the
thermostat could be turned up
and set to have the temperature
drop to more comfortable levels
by the time you arrive home,
Kweller said.
Just doing that can cut energy
expenses by10percent, she said,
adding that the cost of cooling a
house in summer averages
about 12 percent of your annual
bill.
Most utility companies and
energy-efficiency advocates rec-
ommend raising the thermostat
to78degrees whenyoure home,
85 degrees when youre away.
Based on a 2,400-square-foot
house, the savings-per-degree
equals $4, according to Georgia
Power in Atlanta.
Other fairly easy ways to chill
a bit include replacing furnace/
air-conditioningfilters regularly,
as recommended by the manu-
facturer; closing blinds, curtains
and shades on the sunny side of
the house, and using energy-effi-
cient lights that dont produce a
lot of heat or just shutting off
the lights when you leave a
room.
Avariety of sources offer ways
to cut costs while staying if not
cool, then less hot for longer-
term solutions, you may well
have to install that extra insula-
tion or replace older air condi-
tioners or central-air systems:
Massachusetts utility compa-
ny NStar, among others, sug-
gests using a ceiling fan in hot
weather, to create a cool breeze
and keep air circulating.
To get rid of hot air while
youre cooking, turn on an ex-
haust fan; the savings on cooling
costs will far outweigh the elec-
tricity used by the fan.
Instead of using your oven or
stove, which will generate even
more heat, fire up the outdoor
grill.
Take lukewarm showers and
baths to avoid humid air, which
holds heat.
Make sure youhave the appro-
priate sized dehumidifier for
your home. They can be a big
drain on power.
Not all energy-saving mea-
sures have to do with keeping
comfortable. And some mea-
sures require an explanation.
The California Energy Com-
missions Consumer Energy
Center, for example, says that
having lots of food in your
fridge keeps it from warming up
too fast when the door is open.
I just checked with a couple
of my wise young policy/re-
search colleagues, and it seems
that there are two reasons why
its better to keep the refrigera-
tor full when possible, Kweller
said. The solid food itself re-
tains the cold, and the tightly
packed items serve as a physical
barrier to the cold air rushing
out when the door is opened.
A corollary to this: letting hot
items cool down before placing
them in the refrigerator, so it
doesnt have to work as hard to
cool them.
The California energy center
also advises that microwaves
use two-thirds less energy thana
stove does.
Dishwashers use less water,
some hot, than washing by
hand. Letting dishes air-dry
saves electricity.
Speaking of washing:
Do laundry in a more energy-
conscious way by using the
warm or cold water setting. Use
cold water to rinse clothes (sav-
ings: 4 percent).
Line-dry clothes whenever
you can (savings: 5 percent).
When you run the dryer, do
full loads, use the moisture-sens-
ing setting, and clean the lint
trap after each use (savings: 0.5
percent).
Most newelectronics use elec-
tricity even when they are
switched off. Unplug phones
and chargers; turn computers
and printers off at the power
strip (savings: 1percent to 2 per-
cent).
There are so many variables,
so thats why we talk about sav-
ings up to a certain percentage,
Kweller said.
Unplug or recycle that spare
refrigerator if you dont really
need it. It can save you up to
$150 per year.
Turn your water heater down
to 120 degrees Fahrenheit to
save even more money on your
electricity bill.
When baking, Georgia Power
says, avoid opening the oven
door, which lets out 20 percent
of the heat. Use a timer. When
cooking on top of the stove, use
pots and pans that match the
size of your burners, which
brings more heat to the pan and
less to the surrounding area.
Kweller said she, like many of
us, often wonders why, with all
the energy-efficient products
now available, utility costs con-
tinue to increase.
Then again, she added,
Could you imagine what your
bill would be like without ener-
gy-efficient products?
Beat the heat while saving energy
By ALAN HEAVENS
The Philadelphia Inquirer
Thank you, Thomas Edison, for
inventingthelightbulb. Weall ben-
efiteverydayfromthissource. This
brilliant inventionhaschangedour
lives. Despite the importance of
lightbulbs, consumers need more
information.
Thetwomostcommontypesare
incandescent andfluorescent.
Incandescent bulbs glow when
electric current passes through a
filament. All lamps witha filament
are considered incandescent even
when they are modified with gass-
essuchashalogen, kryptonandxe-
non.
Fluorescent bulbs produce light
when an electric arc passes be-
tween cathodes, excites mercury
and other gasses, producing radi-
ant energy. Phosphor coatingscon-
vert energy into visible light. The
compact fluorescent has been pro-
moted as energy-saving, low heat
andlong-lasting. Theballastforthe
CFL is below the lamp and above
thethreadedbase, increasingheat,
which shortens the lamp life. Re-
member that fluorescent bulbs
cannot start incoldweather.
All fluorescent lamps contain
mercuryandneedtobethoughtful-
lydiscarded. If theybreak, openthe
windows and pick up the residue
with tape. Do not contaminate
your vacuumcleaner!
Fluorescent lighting color is de-
scribedbytheKelvinrating. Thisis
based on our perception of how
cool or warmthe light appears.
Use2700kelvins, orwarmwhite,
in homes, counseling offices and
restaurants. Use 3000 kelvins, or
soft white, a peachy source almost
like incandescent in home furnish-
ing stores, houses and waiting
rooms. Use3500kelvinsinthemid-
level of warm to cool in commer-
cial, retail stores and offices. Use
4100 kelvins, or cool white, only if
youwantthefeelingofanicepalace
and5000kelvins inhospitals, labo-
ratoriesanddoctorsofficeswherea
crisp light is needed. Use 6500 kel-
vins, the bluest, in jewelry and ac-
cessory stores.
For accent lighting, torcheres
and task lighting, use halogen
bulbs that provide high contrast, a
brilliant color that duplicates sun-
light. Theyprovidemorelight than
atypical incandescent. Topreserve
their longer life, protect the quartz
casing from the skin oil on your
hands, which will change the ten-
sion and cause a shorter lamp life.
Duringinstallation, useagloveora
thinfoampad.
The tungsten filament redepo-
sitsontothefilament andisconsid-
ered a self-cleaning bulb when the
bulb is burned at full power. If the
bulb is dimmed often, operate at
full power occasionally to extend
lamplife.
Halogenbulbsusuallycost more
butgivemorelightperwattof ener-
gy used, last longer and enhance
color. They are a bargain. But I do
not use halogen reflectors in walk-
ways; they seemlike interrogation
lights and cast shadows on your
face. Halogen bulbs are wonderful
over work surfaces, coffee tables,
dining tables and to directionally
light artwork.
Xenon gas lamps burn cooler
thanhalogenbut thelight theypro-
duce tends to be blue . The blue-
tintedheadlights yousee at nights
are xenon. They have an average
lamp life of 2,000 hours like halo-
gen.
Make sure you use the recom-
mendedwattage. But if youalways
dim that lamp, start with a lower
wattage. The more youdima bulb,
themoreyellowthelight becomes.
Inhard-to-reachareas, use a130-
volt lamp. They burn a bit yellow
buttheygivemorehoursof service.
We use bulbs designed for traffic
signals in exterior fixtures. They
are rated 9,000 hours of service. A
typical grocery store A lamp is
rated at 750 hours. Knowthat 120-
volt and12-volt bulbs are not inter-
changeable.

duce the best results.
Still too much of a hassle? Consider
eschewing stainless altogether in favor
of faux-stainless veneers.
Unlike most true stainless-steel re-
frigerators, they have the benefit of be-
ing magnetic (meaning the family
fridge can once again become an art dis-
play and open-air filing cabinet). And
faux-stainless veneers happen to be less
expensive than true stainless.
That price discrepancy may grow
more noticeable in coming years. Ku-
perszmid Lehrman notes that the
prices of raw materials for stainless
steel have been going up. Some manu-
facturers have been holding back pric-
es because of the economy, she said,
but that may soon change.
Still, true uncoated stainless stands
head and shoulders above the other
options when it comes to scratch re-
pair because you can sand it.
With faux surfaces, or even coated
stainless, sanding isnt going to pro-
duce much more than a mess, said
Rick Muscoplat, contributing editor
at the Family Handyman magazine.
Some cleaners will fill in scratches.
If sanding is your only real hope,
however, there are solutions availa-
ble, such as the $30 Scratch-B-Gone kit,
which includes several grades of sand-
paper.
As far as elbowgrease, youre not go-
ing to break a sweat, Muscoplat said.
But there is a certain touch involved.
If you go across the grain, you get
more scratches and can make it even
worse, Muscoplat said.
Make sure your brush strokes are
straight and that you dont curve away
at the end of each one, he said. Test
your skills first in an inconspicuous
spot.
The result, Muscoplat said, is hard to
argue with, especially for a do-it-your-
self project.
I had a scratched dishwasher and
used the kit, and no one can even tell I
ever had scratches.
If the scratch is too bad or if there is a
serious crease-style dent, replacing the
door may be the only repair option. And
on a $2,500 fridge, a new door can set
you back hundreds.
For some owners, including Musco-
plat, stainless steel just isnt worth it.
I spent more time cleaning it than
any appliance I ever owned, he said.
Id probably never buy stainless again.
For other owners, stainless is likely to
be the finish of choice for years to come.
You dont have to worry about it
going the way of avocado green or
harvest gold, Kuperszmid Lehrman
said. Stainless steel is around, its
popular, and its probably not going
away.
As for the cleaning issues, she said,
I think youre just going to have to
ask yourself how crazy are you going
to be about your finishes in the kitch-
en? How much is a smudge going to
bother you?

General stainless-steel care tips from Lowes:
Dusting with a soft cloth will add a quick shine to stainless steel.
Never spray cleaners directly on the appliance surface. Apply the cleaner to a cloth
and then wipe the surface down.
Always go with the grain on stainless steel surfaces.
Do not use cleaners with abrasives, steel wool or thinners.
Use a dedicated stainless-steel cleaner
Scratch repair
Tips from the Family Handyman:
Have several grit levels of sandpaper on hand. Start with the finest grit and move up
as needed.
Use light strokes and move with the grain. Keep your strokes straight.
Use a sanding fluid to help prevent oxidation of the metal.
Sand the rest of the panel to blend.
Fingerprints, smeared surfaces and grease buildup come largely from using too
much stainless-steel cleaner, says Karen Adams, owner of the Mop Bucket, a cleaning-
supply store for homeowners and commercial-cleaning services. When using stainless
cleaner, a little goes a long way. To keep your stainless smudge-free, touch it up once a
week .
SHINY AND NEW
By July 2, various signs will be inplace
to explain each plant.
But Soyka, a retired Coughlin High
School teacher who lives in Exeter, was
happy to identify many of themduring a
preview visit.
In Shakespeares day, she said, most
people had more experience of the nat-
ural worldthantheydotoday. Theywere
familiar with plants in their everyday
lives, and it follows that Shakespeare
mentioned them in many of his works.
His drunkengatekeeper inMacbeth,
for example, speculates about the prim-
rose way to the everlasting bonfire.
Even today we talk about the prim-
rose path said Soyka, who pointed out
some delicate pink primroses in the
Shakespeare Garden.
Here youll also find plenty of full-
fledgedroses not thekindyoudseeina
florist shop but the smaller, multifloral
ones that grow in clusters.
Shakespeares Juliet, youll remember
from high-school lit class, remarks dur-
ingthe balconyscene that a rose, byany
other name, would smell as sweet. So
Romeo would, were he not Romeo calld,
retain that dear perfection which he
owes without that title.
Other plants in the garden range from
yarrow, from which Shakespeares con-
temporaries might havebrewedamedic-
inal tea, to lavender, which was used as
an antiseptic and kept linens fresh.
The trees include dogwood, which
might remind you of a character named
Dogberry in Much Ado About Noth-
ing, and oak, which might inspire you
to recall these words from Henry VI:
Andmanystrokes thoughwitha little
axe hew down and fell the hardest tim-
berd oak.
Another young tree, a crabapple, has
its branches pinned to a brick wall in a
decorativetechniquecalledespaliery. As
it grows, Soyka said, It will be very styl-
ized.
The garden was planted in the fall of
2009, and according to a plaque, is dedi-
cated to the memory of Dr. Regina Kel-
ly, RSM (Misericordia 43), whose love
of Shakespeare, scholarship and excel-
lent teaching influenced decades of stu-
dents. Legions of her admirers and stu-
dents raised the money for the establish-
ment of this wonderful garden."
The garden is a work in progress,
Soyka said. Right now, various hedges
are about knee-high to an adult. In
years to come, theyll grow together
and be about chest-high, she said,
which will provide a lovely knot gar-
den effect.
Its designed to be seen from a balco-
ny, she said, adding there will be an ex-
cellent view of the garden from nearby
windows.

And there is pansies. Thats for thoughts. Youll find those words in Hamlet and these flowers in the Shakespeare Gar-
den at Misericordia University.
I had thought to have let in some of
all professions that go the primrose
way to the everlasting bonfire, a
drunken gatekeeper says in Macbeth.
I know a bank where the wild thyme
blows, Oberon the fairy king said to
Puck.

WILKES-BARRE: St. Marys
Church of the Immaculate
Conception will celebrate the
Rite of Beginning a New Par-
ish at all Masses on July 3.
The new parish will be known
as Our Lady of Fatima Parish
and will embrace members of
St. Josephs (Slovak) Church
and St. Therese Church in
Wilkes-Barre, both of which
were closed in the restructur-
ing program of the Diocese of
Scranton. During the Rite,
Frank Majikes, a member of
St. Marys Pastoral Council,
will welcome parishioners of
the closed churches, and Mon-
signor Thomas V. Banick, pas-
tor, will receive and acknowl-
edge the transfer of official
documents to Our Lady of Fa-
tima Parish at St. Marys Rec-
tory, including sacramental
records and administrative re-
cords including financial re-
cords, and marriage files.
Founded in 1845, St. Marys
Church is widely known as the
Mother Church of the Wilkes-
Barre area. Numerous church-
es in Wilkes-Barre were estab-
lished as separations from St.
Marys. St. Thereses Church
was founded out of St. Marys
in 1929.
The pastoral team includes
Deacon Leo Thompson; Sr.
Dolores Banick, IHM, pastoral
assistant for religious educa-
tion and human services/so-
cial concerns, Martha Call-
ahan, assistant to the director
of religious education, Car-
men Rosa Kahiu, youth minis-
ter, Mark Ignatovich, director
of music, and Doreen Ignatov-
ich, director of choirs, Patrick
Rushton, director of the rite of
Christian initiation of adults,
Marilyn Alvator, director of
parish volunteers; Kathleen
Dougherty, director of liturgi-
cal ministries, John Dougher-
ty, pastoral assistant for bap-
tism preparation and celebra-
tion, Rita Bevan, administra-
tive assistant, and Martha
Callahan, office manager/sec-
retary.
Hundreds of parishioners
are instituted in parish minis-
tries and volunteer services,
including Commissions for
Worship, Religious Forma-
tion, Human Services/Social
Concerns and its Pro-Life
Committee, Social Affairs,
Family Life, and Pastoral Care
of the Sick and Homebound.
The parish also supports St.
Nicholas-St. Marys Elemen-
tary School and Holy Redeem-
er High School. The parish ba-
zaar is scheduled for July 28-
30 in the parking lot of Holy
Redeemer High School.
St. Marys Church
