Aurora shooting suspect tried to gain membership in gun range but raised suspicions. By NICHOLAS RICCARDI and GILLIAN FLACCUS Associated Press

AURORA, Colo. — Shooting suspect James Holmes applied to join a Colorado gun range last month but never became a member because of his behavior and a “bizarre” message on his voice mail greeting, the range’s owner said Sunday. Holmes, 24, emailed an application to join the Lead Valley Range in Byers on June 25 in which he said he was not a user of illegal drugs or a convicted felon, said owner Glenn Rotkovich. But when Rotkovich called to invite him to a mandatory orientation the following week, he said he heard Holmes’ voice mail greeting that was “bizarre — guttural, freakish at best.” It identified the number as belonging to “James,” so Rotkovich said he left a message. He left two other messages but eventually told his staff to watch out for Holmes at the July 1 orientation and not to accept him into the club, Rotkovich said. His comments were first reported by Fox News. See SHOOTING, Page 10A

WILKES-BARRE – In the late ’70s and early ’80s, Tony DiMito had high hopes for his future but not a lot of resources. Now, he’s a successful writer of music for TV shows and films. DiMito, of Nanticoke, was one of dozens of graduates of the Upward Bound program at Wilkes University who at-

>> TWO CAVEMEN WALK INTO A BAR: Archeologists say the world’s oldest recorded joke is a Sumerian proverb dating back to 1,900 B.C.

TATE COLLEGE— Shortly after Penn State tore down its famed statue of coach Joe Paterno, the NCAA announced Sunday it would impose “corrective and punitive” sanctions against the university in the wake of a devastating report that asserted top university officials buried child sex abuse allegations against a retired assistant coach more than a decade ago. • The NCAA, acting with rare speed, said it will spell out the penalties today. The governing body did not disclose further details.

Fuel is an IRS matter WILKES-BARRE – Mayor Tom Leighton’s failure to keep records for his use of city fuel could cause him problems with the Internal Revenue Service, two tax experts said. Under IRS rules, the fair market value of the gasoline Leighton pumped into his private vehicle should have been reported as income either on his W2 earnings form, or a 1099 form that’s used to report non-salary income. Leighton would be entitled to seek a deduction for the portion of the fuel that was used for city business. Any portion that was for personal use Leighton would be subject to income tax, said two certified public accountants who have testified as expert witnesses. Leighton recently confirmed he had been obtaining fuel from the city pumps located at the Department of Public Works building for years. He said he believed he was justified in taking fuel because he drives his personal vehicle on city business. He acknowledged he did not fill out the log book detailing how much gasoline he dispensed, and also did not keep mileage records showing how many miles he drove on city business. That’s a problem, said David Ostrove, an attorney and CPA in Beverly Hills, Calif., and Sharon McNair, a CPA from Las Vegas, Nev. “The fair market value of the gas he used for personal business is taxable. It’s just like him getting additional cash,” Ostrove said. “He has to account for it and report in on this tax return.” In an email Friday, Leighton said any gasoline he received was for “expense reimbursement.” He did not respond to a question regarding whether the city included the value of the gas on his W2 or provided him a 1099 form. In a previous interview, Leighton said he got gas about once every three weeks and that he drives about 200 to 300 miles per month on city business. He has since stopped that practice and now will seek mileage reimbursement. Leighton’s failure to document his fuel usage was partly responsible for the city’s inabilitytoaccountfornearly18,000gallons of gasoline and diesel fuel that was dispensed from the city’s tanks between Dec.1, 2011 and June 22, Times Leader investigation revealed.

For 1 night, aiding kids a laughing matter “Chuckles 4 Charity” event benefits Geisinger’s efforts to help sick children. By RALPH NARDONE Times Leader Correspondent

PLAINS TWP. – They say laughter is the best medicine. While the old saying may or may not always be true, on Sunday it was part of an effort to benefit a good cause. The first “Chuckles 4 Charity” event was held at the Woodlands Inn to raise funds to aid the Geisinger Janet Weis Children’s Hospital and the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. Audience members were entertained by top-notch local and national performers all while supporting health care for local children. Kate Snyder, northeast event coordinator for the Children’s Network, said the event helped children’s health care services by providing additional funding that can be used through the Geisinger pediatrics departments. “The money raised will mean more equipment and programs we can say ‘yes’ to,” Snyder said. Snyder admitted Chuckles 4 Charity represented a rather new method of fundraising but she added the participation of the performers, organizers and audi-

ence members to help local kids and was appreciated. Kevin Lepka, event organizer and head of Kevin Lepka Comedy, approached Geisinger about two months ago to recommend a

comedy fundraising event. He said he’s been doing similar events for the last four years and they are proving to be effective fundraisers. He has done benefits for St. Jo-

seph’s Center in Scranton, the American Cancer Society and other charities, he said. Lepka, who was one of the performers, described the comedy as “clean and delightfully dirty at

times.” Based in Northeastern Pennsylvania, he’s done opening performances for The Reverend Bob Levy and the Saints and Sinners Tour. The host of the show was Maribeth Mooney, who regularly performs in New York City and has appeared in the “Law & Order” television series. Other performers included Matt Koons, a writer on the “Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” John Walton, a winner of the Wisecrackers Comedy Club comedy competition, and magician Michael Jinx, who gave a pre-show demonstration of his magic skills. Lepka said the show’s headliner, Steve Marshall, accomplished a long list of professionally recognized work. He wrote for the “Late Night with David Letterman” show, appeared on “The View,” the “CBS Sunday News” and the Food Network’s “Hot off the Grill” show. He regularly performs in Atlantic City, New York City and Las Vegas. Snyder said the Children’s Miracle Network is the “fundraising arm” of the Geisinger pediatrics department. She wanted the people who participated in the “Chuckles 4 Charity” to have a good time. The event’s success can lead to more similar fundraisers in the future, she said.

‘Knight’ takes $160 million

Tragedy didn’t deter fans The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — “The Dark Knight Rises” was on track to earn $160 million, which would be a record for 2-D films, over the weekend following a mass shooting at a Colorado screening of the Batman film. Citing box office insiders, The Hollywood Reporter, Los Angeles Times, New York Times and other media outlets reported Sunday that the latest Batman sequel earned $160 to $162 million. That amount would best the $158.4 million debut of “The Dark Knight” in 2008 and give “Dark Knight Rises” the thirdhighest domestic weekend opening ever after the 3-D films “The Avengers” with $207.4 million and “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 2” with $169.2 million. The Hollywood Reporter also cited box office sources who said “Dark Knight Rises” earned $70 million from nine of the 17 countries where it debuted over the weekend, including the United Kingdom, Australia, South Korea and Spain. Tickets for 3-D films cost a few more dollars than 2-D screenings, netting extra cash at the box office. Movies re-

leased in 3-D typically earn under half of their income in 3-D screenings, sometimes as little as a third. Sony, Fox, Disney, Paramount, Universal and Lionsgate joined “Dark Knight Rises” distributor Warner Bros in publicly withholding their usual revenue reports out of respect for the victims and their families. Box-office tracking service Rentrak also did not report figures following the Aurora, Colo., shootings that killed 12 and injured 58 at a midnight screening of the new Batman sequel on Friday. “This tragedy did not seem to impact the box office in a major way,” said Paul Dergarabedian, an analyst for Hollywood.com who specializes in box office. “For this film to still be in the rarified air of the top-three openings of all time is phenomenal, given the unfortunate circumstances surrounding the release of this film.” Dergarabedian noted that the box-office ranking of director Christopher Nolan’s final installment of his Batman trilogy would not be official until Warner Bros. and other studios release their final weekend box-office tallies today.

ilkes-Barre city firefighters responded to a reported dryer fire at Sudzy’s Laundromat at 487 Hazle Ave. on Sunday at about 3:10 p.m.

POLICE BLOTTER HAZLE TWP. – Sneakerprints in the dirt led to the arrest of two Hazleton area men in connection with the theft of some radiators, state police in Hazleton said. Trooper Robert L. Christmas Jr. was investigating the theft of 30 commercial radiators from U.S. Truck and Parts on state Route 924 that occurred sometime overnight between June 14 and 15 when he noticed sneaker impressions in the dirt. State police said that a couple weeks later, Christman observed similar impressions at a burglary scene in Hazle Township at which Christman assisted another trooper. State police determined those sneaker impressions belonged to Douglas Creamer, 19, of Hazleton, who was arrested for that burglary along with his brother, Eric Creamer, state police said. A check of the Creamers’ criminal histories showed that they were arrested in Cape May, N.J., so Christman checked with recycling yards in Cape May and discovered that a Brian Creamer scrapped about 20 commercial vehicle radiators there, police said. Christman sought assistance from New Jersey state police,

who told him the radiators were brought to the scrap yard in a U-Haul trailer being towed by a blue Chevrolet TrailBlazer with two males and a female inside. Video surveillance footage from a gas station in Hazleton shows a male identified as James Davis Jr., 21, of Hazle Township, pumping gas into the TrailBlazer , and he, Eric Creamer and Kelly Lane were identified in surveillance footage in New Jersey, police said. Evidence showed that Douglas Creamer lent Davis his pickup knowing that Davis was going to commit the crimes. Davis was charged with burglary, theft and criminal trespass; Douglas Creamer was charged with criminal conspiracy to commit burglary and theft, police said. New Jersey State Police took Brian Creamer into custody and charged him with receiving stolen property and fencing; they are expected to file more charges against other suspects, state police at Hazleton said. WILKES-BARRE – City police reported the following: • Jay Schenk told police on Wednesday that someone got into his Dodge pickup while it was parked near 20 Public Square and stole some items including a TomTom GPS unit and an Olympus camera.

•Yijun Wu, of Charles Street, Wilkes-Barre, reported on Wednesday that someone fraudulently set up utility accounts in his name and racked up $6,000 in charges for addresses in Wilkes-Barre and Exeter. Among the charges were $1,200 with UGI and $1,278 with PPL. • Justin Soboski, of Puritan Lane, Wilkes-Barre, reported on Tuesday that someone stole two guns – a Ruger 9-mm and a Wesson .40-caliber – from the trunk of his 1993 Chevrolet Caprice. • Sarah Hahill, of Monroe Street, Wilkes-Barre, reported on Wednesday that someone had been using her bank card without her permission. • Demian Lizza, of North empire Street, Wilkes-Barre, reported on Tuesday that someone had been using his First Liberty Bank card without his permission. • A 16-year-old male reported that he was walking in the area of Carlisle and Hanover streets Tuesday when a male brandishing a handgun told him to “give me everything you got.” The victim handed his cellphone and wallet to the thief. • Toiya Jones, of Beech Street, Edwardsville, reported on Tuesday that a female broke a side-view mirror on her Lexus while it was parked near 248 Coal St.

Two prisoners captured

Two prisoners at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility who did not return from work release were apprehended Sunday afternoon. A shift captain at the prison said initial reports of prisoners escaping from the prison itself were inaccurate. He said state police apprehended the prisoners, but Kadluboski further details were not immediately available. State police at Wyoming said they assisted in the capture but referred comment to local police. City Wide Towing owner Bob Kadluboski said he heard of escaped prisoners on his police scanner, spotted them in Miners Mills, called 911, described them to a prison official and found they were a match. He said the prisoners headed towards the Hudson section of Plains Township, walking along railroad tracks towards a family reunion, and he called 911 back. He said Plains Township police arrived and apprehended one prisoner but the other fled. Township, WilkesBarre and state police pursued him to an area near Mohegan Sun Arena and Wilkes-Barre police captured him. Plains Township police Sgt. Dave Abraham confirmed that Plains Township police captured one prisoner and Wilkes-Barre police captured the other.

Walking down the runway for others Annual fashion show benefits Candy’s Place, a source of help for cancer sufferers. By SARA POKORNY spokorny@timesleader.com

PLAINS TWP. – Rose Lauck, 16, and Samantha Lauck, 8, guided their 3-year-old sister, Juliet, along the runway set up at The Woodlands on Sunday, stopping and waving to everyone watching at each end. The three girls were decked out in orange, which represents leukemia, the form of cancer that Juliet was diagnosed with three months ago. “We were devastated when we found out, of course,” the girls’ mother, Rachel, said as she stood at the Fashion Show

and Luncheon for Candy’s Place. “She has just done so well, though. It’s become the new normal, we’ve learned how to live through this.” Juliet is in remission now, but she has to go through chemotherapy for the next two years. Kellie Kizis, 38, of Exeter, also walked in the show, a breast cancer survivor. She has kept a bright disposition throughout her ordeal. “It was surreal, you just don’t believe it,” she said of her 2010 diagnosis. “But I knew what I wanted to do. I was going to beat it. I have three children, a husband. I stayed as positive as I could.” This year marks the third for the Candy’s Place fundraiser. Candy’s Place, located at 190 Welles St. in Forty Fort, was established in 1998 by Candice

Vincent-Mamary’s sister, Penny, shortly after Candy’s life was taken by end-stage lung cancer. The center counsels cancer patients before, during and after their treatments and offers various massage therapies. The show has become one of the more popular fundraisers for the organization. It’s a time for major support, center coordinator Nicole Farber said. Those walking in the show wore colors to represent a cancer that was dear to their hearts. Local businesses Tallulah, Buka, Shooze, Pandora’s Closet and Men’s Wearhouse donated the clothes. “Everywhere you look is a different color,” Farber said. “It’s a BILL TARUTIS/FOR THE TIMES LEADER way to celebrate that the world is moving to find a cure, every Cancer survivor Juliet Lauck, 3, center, walks down the runway with her sisters Rose, 16, left, and Samantha, 8. day.”

WOYERSVILLE -- Swoyersville council member Chris Concert sat outside the borough’s fire department Sunday morning, holding a pile of brown hair in his hands. “Holy mackerel, there’s a lot of gray in that one,” he said of the newest clump added to the pile, the sun glinting off his new and nearly bald head.

Concert had his head shaved by John Davis, longtime friend and member of local country band Iron Cowboy, to fulfill a promise he made concerning ticket sales for a benefit he is holding for the Swoyersville Fire Department. “Our fire company needs help, and when I became a member of council I said I’d do as much as I could for them,” Concert said. “They’re incredible people.” Concert, better known among many locals as “Crazy Chris,” runs “The Woodshed,” a website dedicat-

ed to local bands, organizations and goings-on. An annual birthday bash is held for the Woodshed and this year the proceeds from it will go to Swoyersville Volunteer Fire Department No. 279. “About two weeks ago, on a Thursday, I said that if people could sell 50 tickets by that Sunday I would shave FRED ADAMS/FOR THE TIMES LEADER my head,” Concert said. “Well, in 24 hours they sold 78.” Chris Concert has participated in Davis was more than excited to do many fundraisers.

BEIRUT — A new rebel group boasting about 1,000 fighters launched an operation Sunday to capture Syria’s largest city, Aleppo, while government troops using helicopter gunships and heavy artillery rolled back opposition gains in the capital Damascus. The spread of fighting into a second major metropolis displayed the rebels’ growing confidence even though they still can’t hold ground against the gov-

structive urban combat. On Sunday, however, a group calling itself the Brigade of Unification announced in an online video that it was launching an operation in Aleppo, Syria’s most populated city and a key commercial hub that has remained relatively quiet throughout the uprising. “We gave the orders to march on Aleppo with the aim of liberating it,” says Col. Abdul-Jabbar Mohammed Akidi, one of the group’s leaders. The push into Aleppo follows weeks of high-level military defections, soaring death tolls, fierce fighting near Pres-

in his regime’s efforts to crush those seeking to end his rule. Rebels also captured several border crossings with neighboring Iraq and Turkey. The opposition’s momentum put the regime on the defensive for the first time in the 16month conflict. But while the gradual swelling of their ranks and increasing organization have allowed them to push into major cities, they remain largely unable to hold ground against Assad’s forces and helpless before his helicopters. The week’s violence pushed the death toll for the uprising above 19,000,

Girls search to expand

Experts in child abduction cases say law enforcement officials will likely have to expand their search for two missing Iowa girls now that the cousins’ disappearance is considered an abduction case. But the experts say it’s hard to tell exactly what’s going on because law enforcement officials likely aren’t disclosing everything they know about the disappearance of 10-year-old Lyric Cook-Morrissey and 8-year-old Elizabeth Collins. FBI officials said Saturday they are confident the girls are alive.

TAMPA, FLA.

Police ready for RNC event

Tampa has hosted four Super Bowls, but the protesters expected to cram into the city for the Republican National Convention will be a different sort of crowd, and the police are trying to be ready. In 2008, thousands of protesters arrived in St. Paul, Minn., for the RNC. Some smashed cars, punctured tires and threw bottles in a confrontation with pepper-spray wielding police. Hundreds were arrested over a few days, including dozens of journalists. Tampa police have spent about $13.6 million so far on big-ticket security items, including 200 bicycles, 13 electric all-terrain vehicles and one armored truck for the Aug. 27-31 Republican gathering. ANAHEIM, CALIF.

Police shooting protested

Demonstrators stormed the Anaheim Police Department on Sunday to protest an officer-involved shooting that left a man dead and led to a violent clash between witnesses and police. A crowd filled the police headquarters’ lobby as Chief John Welter prepared to hold a press conference. The Orange County Register reported protestors chanted “cops, pigs, murderers” as officers stood by and watched. It was unclear whether the press conference would go on. Welter was to address the shooting and confrontation Saturday in which a crowd threw bottles at officers who responded with tear gas and beanbag rounds. The dead man’s name has not been released.

NYC car crash kills 5

An SUV smashed into a concrete pillar and flipped over before bursting into flames early Sunday, killing three women and two children. The driver, along with another adult and a child inside the vehicle, were hospitalized. A 2008 Mercedes Benz SUV carrying eight people was eastbound on Atlantic Avenue in Queens around 3:15 a.m. when it hit a concrete pillar east of the Van Wyck Expressway, authorities said. The impact flipped the car and sent it rolling over. Police said the severely mangled SUV ended up on its side and erupted into flames. Three adult passengers, all women, were declared dead at the scene, as were an 8-year-old girl and a 9-year-old boy. The driver, a 45-year-old woman, was undergoing surgery at Jamaica Hospital, said Joann Ariola of the hospital’s public affairs department. She said a 7-year-old boy was in stable condition in the pediatric emergency room, and a man was in stable condition and likely to be treated and soon released.

More than 100 people were killed Sunday, it said, including at least 24 government troops. On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he feared that chaos after Assad’s fall could allow Hezbollah, which seeks Israel’s destruction, to access Syria’s chemical weapons. “That this is something we’ll have to act to stop if the need arises,” he told Fox News Sunday. No evidence has emerged of Hezbollah involvement in Syria’s unrest.

Return to the ’60s?

U.S. poverty rate a growing economic concern By HOPE YEN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The ranks of America’s poor are on track to climb to levels unseen in nearly half a century, erasing gains from the war on poverty in the 1960s amid a weak economy and fraying government safety net. Census figures for 2011 will be released this fall in the critical weeks ahead of the November elections. The Associated Press surveyed more than a dozen economists, think tanks and academics, both nonpartisan and those with known liberal or conservative leanings, and found a broad consensus: The official poverty rate will rise from 15.1 percent in 2010, climbing as high as 15.7 percent. Several predicted a more modest gain, but even a 0.1 percentage point increase would put poverty at the highest level since 1965. Poverty is spreading at record levels across many groups, from underemployed workers and suburban families to the poorest poor. More discouraged workers are giving up on the job market, leaving them vulnerable as unemployment aid begins to run out. Suburbs are seeing increases in poverty, including in such political battlegrounds as Colorado, Florida and Nevada, where voters are coping with a new norm of living hand to mouth. “I grew up going to Hawaii every summer. Now I’m here, applying for assistance because it’s hard to make ends meet. It’s very hard to adjust,” said Laura Fritz, 27, of Wheat Ridge, Colo., de-

scribing her slide from rich to poor as she filled out aid forms at a county center. In an election year dominated by discussion of the middle class, Fritz’s case highlights a dim reality for the growing group in poverty. Millions could fall through the cracks as government aid from unemployment insurance, Medicaid, welfare and food stamps diminishes. “The issues aren’t just with public

benefits. We have some deep problems in the economy,” said Peter Edelman, director of the Georgetown Center on Poverty, Inequality and Public Policy. He pointed to the recent recession but also longer-term changes in the economy such as globalization, automation, outsourcing, immigration and less unionization that have pushed median household income lower. Even after strong economic growth in the 1990s, poverty never fell below a 1973 low of 11.1 percent. The predictions for 2011 are based on separate AP interviews, supplemented with research on suburban poverty from Alan Berube of the Brookings Institution and an analysis of federal spending by the Congressional Research Service and Elise Gould of the Economic Policy Institute. The analysts’ estimates suggest that some 47 million people in the U.S., or 1 in 6, were poor last year. An increase of one-tenth of a percentage point to 15.2 percent would tie the 1983 rate, the highest since1965. The highest level on record was 22.4 percent in 1959. The 2010 poverty level was $22,314 for a family of four, and $11,139 for an individual, based on an official government calculation that includes only cash income, before tax deductions. It excludes capital gains or accumulated wealth, such as home ownership, as well as noncash aid such as food stamps and tax credits, which were expanded substantially under President Barack Obama’s stimulus package.

CHICAGO — Should all U.S. children get tested for high cholesterol? Doctors are still debating that question months after a government-appointed panel recommended widespread screening that would lead to prescribing medicine for some kids. Fresh criticism was published online today in Pediatrics by researchers at one university who say the guidelines are too aggressive and were influenced by panel members’ financial ties to drugmakers. Eight of the 14 guidelines panel members reported industry ties and disclosed that when their advice was published in December. They contend in a rebuttal article in Pediatrics that company payments covered costs of evaluating whether the drugs are safe and effective but did not influence the recommendations. It also is not uncommon for experts in their fields to have received some consulting fees from drug companies. Even so, the ties pose a conflict of interest that “undermines the credibility of both the guidelines and the process through which they were produced,” says the commentary by researchers at the University of California at San Francisco. The authors are Dr. Thomas Newman, a researcher and former member of a Food and Drug Administration pediatrics advisory committee, and two heart disease researchers, Drs. Mark Pletcher and Stephen Hulley. Pletcher has received research funding from drug and device makers; the other authors said they had no relevant industry ties. Other criticism was published earlier this year in the Journal of the American Medical Association. That critique raised concerns about putting children on cholesterol drugs called statins, noting the medicine has been linked with a rare muscle-damaging condition in adults. Those authors were heart specialist Bruce Psaty and pediatrician Frederick Rivara, both of the University of Washington in Seattle. The guidelines aim to help prevent and treat conditions in children that put them at risk for later heartrelated problems.

Fracking critics’ science faulted The Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — In the debate over natural gas drilling, the companies are often the ones accused of twisting the facts. But scientists say opponents sometimes mislead the public, too. For example, reports that breast cancer rates rose in a region with heavy gas drilling are false, researchers told The Associated Press. “The debate is becoming very emotional. And basically not using science” on either side,

said Avner Vengosh, a Duke University professor studying groundwater contamination who has been praised and criticized by both sides. Opponents of fracking say breast cancer rates have spiked exactly where intensive drilling is taking place — and nowhere else in the state. The claim is used in a letter that was sent to New York’s Gov. Andrew Cuomo by environmental groups and by Josh Fox, the Oscar-nominated director of “Gasland,” a film that criti-

cizes the industry. Fox, who lives in Brooklyn, has a new short film called “The Sky is Pink.” But researchers haven’t seen a spike in breast cancer rates in the area, said Simon Craddock Lee, a professor of medical anthropology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. And Susan G. Komen for the Cure, a major cancer advocacy AP FILE PHOTO group based in Dallas, said it sees no evidence of a spike, ei- Filmmaker Josh Fox speaks in 2010 at a rally of protesters ther. against drilling and hydraulic fracturing in Pittsburgh.

PORTLAND, Maine — When a 100-pound shipment of lobsters arrived at Bill Sarro’s seafood shop and restaurant last month, it contained a surprise — six orange crustaceans that have been said to be a 1-in-10-million oddity. “My butcher was unloading them and said, ‘Oh, my gosh, boss, they sent us cooked dead lobsters,’ ” said Sarro, owner of Fresh Catch Seafood in Mansfield, Mass. “He then picked one up and it crawled up his arm.” Reports of odd-colored lobsters used to be rare in the lobster fishing grounds of New England and Atlantic Canada. Normal lobsters are a mottled greenishbrown. But in recent years, accounts of bright blue, orange, yellow, calico, white and even split lobsters — one color on one side, another on the other — have jumped. It’s now common to hear several stories a month of a lobsterman bringing one of the quirky crustaceans to shore. It’s anybody’s guess why more oddities are popping up in lobster traps, said Michael Tlusty, research director at the New England Aquarium in Boston. It could be simply because advances in technology — cellphone cameras and social media — make it easier to spread the word about bizarre lobster sightings. It’s also likely more weird lobsters are being caught because the overall harvest has soared. In Maine, the catch has grown fourfold in the past 20 years, to nearly 105 million pounds last year. If the yield has quadrupled, it would make sense to have four times as many unconventional lobsters being caught as well. Although lobster is the No. 1 commercial fishery in the Northeast, there are a lot of unanswered questions about the bottomdwelling creatures, he said. “Are we seeing more because the Twitter sphere is active and people get excited about colorful lobsters?” Tlusty said. “Is it because we’re actually seeing an upswing in them? Is it just that we’re catching more lobsters so we have the opportunity to see more? Lobsters come in a variety of colors because of genetic variations. It’s been written that the odds of catching a blue lobster are 1in-2 million, while orange comes in at 1-in-10 million. Yellow and orange-and-black calico lobsters have been pegged at 1-in-30 million, split-colored varieties at 1in-50 million, and white — the rarest of all — at 1-in-100 million.

WORLD OPINION

Clinton’s trip to Egypt an opening to dialogue

ILLARY CLINTON had to tread a delicate diplomatic line during her visit to Egypt. Calling on Mohamed Morsi just two weeks after he became the country’s first democratically elected president, the U.S. secretary of state urged him to open a dialogue with the military as a way to full civilian rule. She conveyed a similar message to Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, head of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces. The two sides are at loggerheads over the Islamistdominated parliament, which was dissolved by the Supreme Constitutional Court last month on the grounds that a third of its members were elected illegally. Morsi, whose Muslim Brotherhood allies hold many of the seats, has issued a decree calling it back. Washington remains wary of the Brotherhood’s radical-

ism and sees the military, at least for the time being, as a restraining force. Any leverage it Clinton has comes from it being the main supplier of foreign aid, which was resumed in March after a fivemonth suspension and amounts to an annual $1.5 billion, including $1.3 billion of military equipment. Yet, as a long-time ally of Hosni Mubarak, America is still viewed with deep suspicion by the Brotherhood, and the military repeatedly has shown that it will not bow to pressure from across the Atlantic. Trying to force the pace of reconciliation between the two sides will simply prove counter-productive. The Telegraph, London

QUOTE OF THE DAY “We’ve got an advanced case of Olympo-funk. Put a sock in it.” Boris Johnson London’s mayor wants his fellow Brits to stop complaining about the country’s ability to handle the Olympics, which start Friday.

Stop scapegoating China

EETING WITH U.S. business leaders recently, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said that the two countries should seek to expand their common interests to cope with the current global economic woes. Wen’s remarks are in a stark contrast to the hawkish Chinabashing that has been a constant theme of the U.S. election campaigns. Admittedly, China and the United States have many differences on political, economic and security fronts. But their efforts to stabilize the global economy should not be derailed by presidency targeted political interests. With the election looming, politicians in the United States seem more interested in blam-

ing China for their own failure to revitalize the U.S. economy than in improving the bilateral economic and investment relations that would help create jobs and stabilize growth in America. Over the past decade, especially in recent years, several major Chinese companies have gained a foothold on the U.S. soil, creating jobs and showing that companies from China, like those from other parts of the world, are dedicated to improving local people’s livelihoods. However, U.S. distrust has prevented Chinese companies from making major investments. The United States should appreciate the fact that opening up to more Chinese investment would be in the interests of the American people. China Daily, Beijing

A crime against children

HE REPUTATION of the Taliban already was well-established and did not require the use of child hostages to convince anyone of the extremists’ venal nature. Even so, the ban on polio vaccination in northwestern Pakistan – and the attacks on health workers who defy it – is a remarkable example of the Taliban’s inhumanity, one that not only risks the health of some 280,000 of Pakistan’s children, but also hampers the world’s ability to eradicate the disease. The Taliban says it will lift the ban once the United States agrees to stop the use of drone

attacks against the extremists. The halt to polio vaccination is a terrible blow to global public health efforts. Just 25 years ago, there were a quarter of a million cases of polio in 125 countries. So far this year, there have been only 91 cases in four countries, Pakistan among them. Who’s to say how many children will now end up stricken by a preventable virus, one that can rob them of the ability to walk, and for how many more years the virus will claim new victims, as a result of the Taliban’s crime against children?

Too much debate not healthy for health care

n Pennsylvania, owners of automobiles must have car insurance or their vehicles will not pass state inspection. Why all the fuss about health care insurance? Are cars more important than people? How affordable is affordable health care? Will affordable health care make us healthier? Will people engaged in polite conversation discuss affably affordable (say that three times fast) health care? Bob Singer Wilkes-Barre

Even legitimate voters face disenfranchisement

am tired of hearing the liberal disenfranchisement mantra about requiring identification to vote. There is nothing wrong with showing identification to vote; you can’t even buy a pack of cigarettes in this state without being asked to present a form of photo identification. The minimum age to buy tobacco in Pennsylvania is 18. A store clerk can card anyone. There are even stores that will request two forms of ID as proof that you are 18. The true voter disenfranchisement occurs when legitimate voters, like myself, have their vote nullified by the ballot of an illegal immigrant, or when someone casts multiple votes, or when someone votes for dead people. Without ballot security, my right to vote is meaningless. Every time an illegal ballot is cast, the weight of a legitimate vote is lost. Shouldn’t electing the president of the United States – arguably the leader of the free world – have at least the same level of security as buying a pack of cigarettes? Barbara Yanchek Jermyn

New voter ID law called a ‘back door’ poll tax

nvestigations into voter fraud in the past 10 years turned up only 86 fraudulent votes out of 300 million votes cast. So to use voter fraud as the rationale for the voter ID law passed in Pennsylvania this spring is itself fraudulent. Almost 800,000 Pennsylvania voters will be stripped of their right to vote by this new law. These are primarily the elderly, poor and college students. They represent many Democratic voters. One of our Republican state lawmakers, Mike Turzai, has said that this is just what they want so that Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney can carry Pennsylvania. They cover their tracks by saying that any of these voters can go to the Motor Vehicle Bureau to get the non-driver photo ID that they need. Can people get to those DMV centers by bus? In our area, probably not. Are the centers prepared to handle crowds of voters who need these IDs? Licensed drivers all have seen the lines created by normal license renewals. Has anyone figured out how to verify absentee ballots? Or will they decide that those who request them also will be disenfranchised? Or can those people who don’t have the photo IDs just use absentee ballots? This is an ethical and constitutional failure on the part of our Republican leaders who want to take away our right to vote. It is a back-door version of a poll tax. Over the 237 years as a country, we have worked to give everyone the right to vote. Don’t let anyone take away your right! Eleanor K. Rodda Shavertown

Kaufer’s economic plan hailed as innovative

n June 27, Aaron Kaufer, a candidate for state representative in the 120th District, revealed an exciting, 12-part economic plan. Kaufer’s plan contains innovative approaches for stimulating the local and state economies. The “PA First Plan,” as it is called, wisely draws from the community’s and state’s strengths while mending several weak-

DOONESBURY

nesses we have allowed to persist in our state legislation. Kaufer’s plan addresses the root cause of our issues: the legislators currently passing laws and policy. Regarding this matter, he had two critical points. The first step requires putting an end to partisan politics. Over the last few years, politicians have become so polarized as slaves to their political parties that at times the state Legislature has struggled to pass budgets necessary to keep state services functioning. Next, legislators must accept the immoral nature of granting themselves extravagant pay raises, gross amounts of tax dollars for per diem spending and lavish pensions. New representatives such as Kaufer – not the same politicians who have been living in excess while our education budget continues to crumble – need to make these changes. Kaufer addressed the necessity of tax reform. The property tax method of funding schools is outdated, subjective and unfair. Kaufer’s proposal to provide school funding through other methods such as the state sales tax is both transparent and accurate. Families will find it much easier to gradually fund schools instead of paying an abstractly determined lump sum once a year. Kaufer’s strategies encouraging growth at both the small-business and corporate levels excite me as a college graduate seeking employment. Kaufer strongly supports capital investment tax credits to enable local businesses to remain competitive and to hire new employees. Attracting corporations will add general and skilled labor opportunities to our area. Pennsylvania loses corporate business due to a much higher corporate tax rate than bordering states. I want the opportunity to come home and use the knowledge I have gained to enrich the community that made me the person I am today. Aaron Kaufer is the candidate who will create these opportunities. Changes are needed in Harrisburg. Politicians have failed to effectively govern our state. When someone fails at his or her job, it is necessary to replace that person with someone who will live up to the oath of office. I encourage everyone in the 120th District to pay close attention to the state representative race between Aaron Kaufer and incumbent Phyllis Mundy. Kaufer’s grassroots campaigning has garnered endorsements from many organizations and local leaders who once supported Mundy. As the race develops, let us listen, reflect and choose the candidate who will best meet our current needs. Robert Malys Assistant director Grassroots Campaigns Inc. Philadelphia Luzerne

The program helps students choose a college and complete applications; provides tutors; helps with personal, financial and career counseling; provides workplace and college visits; gives special instruction in reading, writing, study skills and mathematics; helps students apply for financial aid; and gives them academic assistance in high school, high school re-entry or college situations. To be eligible, students must meet the following minimum requirements: • Show academic promise and enthusiasm toward learning. • Be in the 10th grade in high school. • Meet certain educational and economic criteria set by the U.S. Department of Education. Chris Kudrak, a teacher/ counselor for Upward Bound from 2008 through 2010 who is now a biology teacher living in Newton, N.J., said he would still work in the program if he lived closer. “I really liked working for Upward Bound. … It’s almost like a family; everyone works with each other.

about violating the NCAA rulebook have dragged on for months and even years. As Penn State awaited its fate, construction workers took down the larger-than-life monument to its Hall of Fame coach — on the six-month anniversary of his death from lung cancer at age 85. The Paterno family released a statement criticizing Penn State’s decision to remove the statue, saying it was made in haste and before all the facts about Paterno’s role in the Sandusky scandal were known. “Tearing down the statue of Joe Paterno does not serve the victims of Jerry Sandusky’s horrible crimes or help heal the Penn State community. We believe the only way to help the victims is to uncover the full truth,” said the family, which

A Wyoming Valley West High School graduate, Chajko attended Marywood University and earned a bachelor’s in elementary/early childhood education and a master’s in reading education. After working at the former St. John the BapChajko tist School in Pittston, she spent six years working with Upward Bound before taking a job teaching fourth grade in the Wyoming Valley West School District. “I went full circle – I graduated from the program and I gave back to the program, which was extremely rewarding. I mean, without Upward Bound, a lot of students would not go on to college, myself as an example. I wanted to go, but I wasn’t sure if I was going to make it,” Chajko said. “I’m (a) first generation (college graduate). My parents never went to college. They graduated high school … but it was like, ‘College? You really want to go to college?’ And I was like, yes! Then when Upward Bound came to the school, I thought, ‘This might get me there,’ ” she said. To start with, the Upward Bound staff encouraged her, helped her family fill out complicated financial aid forms and college applications, Chajko said. “It’s one of the most amazing programs in existence,” Chajko said, “because everyone needs a little boost.”

McNair and Ostrove acknowledged that, should the IRS investigate, the lack of records would make it difficult to determine if there was any tax liability. “If the numbers were known, he might be getting more gas than he should, or less gas than he should. There’s no way to know if there’s no accountability,” McNair said. Ostrove said in cases like that, the IRS would likely estimate a number. “To say you used every drop for city business, you can argue that, but the IRS is never going to go along with it,” Ostrove said. “They will come up with a number.” has vowed its own investigation following the release of an investigative report by former FBI Director Louis Freeh that found that Paterno and three other top Penn State administrators concealed sex abuse claims against Sandusky. The bronze statue, weighing more than 900 pounds, was erected in 2001 in honor of Paterno’s record-setting 324th Division I coaching victory and his “contributions to the university.” Students chanted, “We are Penn State” as it came down Sunday morning. Penn State President Rodney Erickson said he decided the sculpture had to go because it “has become a source of division and an obstacle to healing.” In Washington, the White House said President Barack Obama believed “it was the right decision.” But the vast majority of fans gathering outside Beaver Stadium to watch the statue’s re-

AURORA, Colo. — President Barack Obama on Sunday sought again to provide comfort to hurting and grieving families, sweeping into Colorado to privately console relatives of the victims gunned down in a movie theater. The massacre left12 people dead, dozens injured and a nation in stunned sorrow. Air Force One touched down at Buckley Air Force Base in Aurora late Sunday afternoon for the Obama’s hastily arranged 21⁄2-hour visit. A short time later, Obama began his visit with the family members at the University of Colorado Hospital in Aurora, which treated 23 of the people injured in the mass shooting; 10 remain there, seven hurt critically. The hospital is a short drive from the site of the shooting. For a president nearing the end of his term and seeking a second one, it was another grim occasion for him to serve as national consoler in chief, a role that has become a crucial facet of the job. National tragedies can present an opportunity for presidents to show leadership and rise above partisan politics, as with Presi-

dent Bill Clinton and the Oklahoma City bombing and President George W. Bush and the Sept. 11 attacks. But in moments of sorrow, presidents can risk looking detached and out of touch. Bush’s handling of Hurricane Katrina is an often-cited example. Obama was accompanied at the hospital by Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper and Aurora Mayor Steve Hogan. A single suspect, James Holmes, is being held without bond on suspicion of multiple counts of first-degree murder after the shooting rampage, which occurred minutes into a premiere of “The Dark Knight Rises” early Friday in this suburb outside

Denver. Sunday’s trip was Obama’s second time to Colorado in less than a month to comfort residents in a state that’s critical to the November election. He made a quick visit in late June to Colorado Springs, where hundreds of homes were destroyed in the most devastating wildfire in the state’s history. “These families need that kind of contact by our elected leader,” Oates told CBS’ “Face the Nation.” “It will be very powerful and it will help them. As awful as what they’ve been through and what they’re going through has been, having the president here is very, very powerful.”

“I think the president coming in is a wonderful gesture,” Hogan said on ABC’s “This Week.” “He’s coming in, really, to have private conversations with the families. I think that’s totally appropriate.” Obama already had been a frequent election-year visitor to Colorado, which he won by more than 8 percentage points over Republican John McCain four years ago. But neither Obama’s nor GOP challenger Mitt Romney’s camp expects that big a margin this time. Recent polls place Obama’s lead inside the margin of error. The shock of the mass shooting brought the presidential campaign to a standstill for the weekend. Obama cut short a political trip to Florida to return to Washington and Romney canceled interviews. Both campaigns pulled ads off the air in Colorado out of respect for the victims. “This weekend I hope everyone takes some time for prayer and reflection,” Obama said Saturday in his weekly radio and Internet address, “for the victims of this terrible tragedy, for the people who knew them and loved them, for those who are still struggling to recover.” Obama campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Sunday during a briefing on Air Force One that the Obama campaign will keep its television ads off the air in Colorado through the whole week.

SHOOTING Continued from Page 1A

“There’s something weird here,” Rotkovich said he concluded. Holmes is being held without bond on suspicion of multiple counts of first-degree murder after a shooting rampage minutes into a premiere of “The Dark Knight Rises” early Friday that left12 people dead and 58 wounded. He is scheduled for an initial hearing today and has been assigned a public defender. The gunman’s semiautomatic assault rifle jammed during the attack at the Aurora movie theater, forcing him to switch to another gun with less firepower, a federal law enforcement official told The Associated Press. That malfunction and weapons switch during the shooting rampage might have saved some lives. As the investigation into the massacre continued Sunday, the University of Colorado said it was looking into whether Holmes used his position as a graduate student to order materials in the potentially deadly booby traps that police said they found in his apartment. Holmes got deliveries over four months to his home and school, authorities have said. The university is looking into what was received at the school to assist police with their investigation, said spokeswoman Jacque Montgomery. The suspect was described as a budding scientist, brimming with potential, who pursued a graduate program even as he planned the attack with “calculation and deliberation,” police said. Holmes’ apartment was booby

trapped with jars of liquids, explosives and chemicals that could have killed “whoever entered it,” Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates said, noting it would have likely been one of his officers. Oates said on CBS’ “Face the Nation” that he had never seen a booby trap as elaborate as what was found in the apartment. By late Saturday afternoon, all hazards had been removed from the apartment and residents in surrounding buildings were allowed to return home, police said. The exception was Holmes’ apartment building, where authorities were still collecting evidence. Holmes had recently withdrawn from the competitive graduate program in neuroscience at the University of Colorado Den-

moval disagreed. At least one woman wept, others expressed anger at the decision, and nearly all said they continued to support their beloved “JoePa.” “I think it was an act of cowardice on the part of the university,” said Mary Trometter, of Williamsport, who wore a shirt bearing Paterno’s image. Recent major scandals — such as improper payments to the family of Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush while he was at Southern California, and players at Ohio State trading memorabilia for cash and tattoos — have resulted in bowl bans and the loss of scholarships. Another question is whether Penn State — and, by extension, Paterno, major college football’s winningest coach — will have to vacate any victories. Paterno won 409 games for the school in his 46 seasons as head coach. USC lost a national title when it went on probation and Ohio State va-

cated the 2010 season, including its victory in the Sugar Bowl over Arkansas. ACC Commissioner John Swofford said he doesn’t know what the penalties will be, though many in college sports have given some thought to what they should be. “I think a lot of us in this profession wrestle with that, to a degree, because the Penn State situation is unprecedented. I don’t know of anything to compare it to,” he said Sunday. “So, it’s uncharted waters. A tragedy from every angle.” Kayla Weaver, a Penn State senior and member of the dance team called the Lionettes, said an NCAA death penalty would not only force the football players to transfer, but it would also force program changes for cheerleaders, dancers and band members and would hurt season ticket holders. “It could ruin everything that we’ve built here,” said

By claiming state title Sunday, Mountain Top earns a trip to East Region Tournament. By JOHN MEDEIROS jmedeiros@timesleader.com

MANSFIELD -- Go ahead and call them a travel team -- Mountain Top is heading to Massachusetts. The Mountain Top softball team scored six runs with two outs -- including a brazen steal of home -- in an impressive 8-1 thumping of Section 3 champion BCM in the Little League state Senior Division championship game at Mansfield University’s Lutes Field. As the state champions, the team based generally in the Crestwood MOUNTAIN School District TOP will move on to the East Region Tournament beginning Friday BCM in Worcester, Mass. “It’s just been unbelievable,” Mountain Top center fielder Rachael Ritz said. “We came here and wanted to be competitive and hoped to come home with the gold. And we are.” Celebrations were plentiful after the win. The traditional victory lap and team photos were slathered in smiles and tears of joy. Jackie Potoski needed to compose herself as tears flowed during the photos, while one of her teammates prodded, “Hurry up, my cheeks hurt.” The foes Sunday had met in the state tournament’s opening game Wednesday, which Mountain Top won by a run, 7-6. The loss relegated BCM to the elimination bracket, where the team from Canton won three consecutive games to earn the rematch with Mountain Top. But BCM was not the same team as the one Mountain Top

Ernie Els holds the Claret Jug trophy after winning the British Open Golf Championship Sunday.

LYTHAM ST. ANNES, England — Ernie Els plucked the ball from the hole after one last birdie and heaved it into the grandstand. At the time, it looked like nothing more than a classy gesture by a former British Open champion — not the next one. The name on the claret jug was supposed to be Adam Scott, who had a four-shot lead with four holes to play. But in a shocking turnaround Sunday, Els returned to the18th green less than an hour later to claim the oldest

32-year-old Australian. “Sorry,” the South African told him. “You’re a great player, a great friend of mine. I feel very fortunate. You’re going to win many of these.” Scott might not get another chance like this. After hitting a 3-wood into a pot bunker on the final hole, Scott had one last chance when he stood over a 7foot par putt to force a playoff. It stayed left of the cup, and Scott dropped into a crouch. Standing off to the side, his chin quivered as the magnitudeofthemeltdownhithim.Instead, he mouthed one word: “Wow.” Wow, indeed.

Big Easy felt all along that something special was going to happen at this British Open. And it did — all because of a collapse by Scott that no one saw coming. “I know I let a really great chance slip through my fingers today,” Scott said. On a wind-swept afternoon at Royal Lytham & St. Annes that blew away the hopes of Tiger Woods and a handful of others, Scott looked steady as ever by going eight straight holes without making bogey.

Loss puts American into elimination bracket today

Mountain Top’s Mel Snyder receives her championship medal from District 15 representative Bill Serfoss.

STROUDSBURG – Back Mountain American now finds itself in a very unfamiliar position. One swing put the District 16 and Section 5 champions there Sunday afternoon. After American rallied to tie the score in the fifth inning, Morrisville countered with a three-run homer in the bottom of the frame for a 5-2 victory at Stroudsburg Little League. American won districts and section-

als without a loss. It will start MORRISVILLE its trek through the state elimination bracket at 2:30 p.m. toBACK MOUNTAIN day at StroudsAMERICAN burg Little League. Its opponent will be Section 7 champ Dillsburg, which had just two hits in a 14-0 loss to Section 6 champ Warrick Township on Sunday night. “I told them to shake it off,” American manager Steve Mathers said. “It’s

our first loss. It’s just a tiny hiccup in the long road to Williamsport. There’s probably a half dozen teams that came out of the losers bracket to win a tournament along the way.” American’s road increased with the loss as it now needs six consecutive victories to advance to the Eastern Regionals. Meanwhile, Section 8 champ Morrisville and the three other winners Sunday need as little as three. American looked like it might be among the winners Sunday after Devin Robbins opened the fifth with a solo

homer to left-center to cut the deficit to 2-1. Christian Roberts then just missed a three-run shot, as he hit the ball to the deepest part of the field for an RBI double. But like in innings prior, American couldn’t push a much-needed run across. Roberts ended up stranded at second and pinch runner Andrew Kovalick at third. “We didn’t get the hit when we needed early on,” Mathers said. “We came See AMERICAN, Page 4B

Sanctions will be historic, but are they legal? Expert: NCAA may violate ‘federal and state notions of due and fair process.’

By DEREK LEVARSE dlevarse@timesleader.com

STATE COLLEGE – On Sunday, Penn State began the scrubbing of its football past. Today, its future will be decided. Joe Paterno’s statue has been removed from the grounds of Beaver Stadium, and the team that remains behind to play inside may be crippled for years to come. The NCAA is expected to an-

nounce severe sanctions against the Nittany Lions today in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky scandal, with any number of punishments, such as a lengthy postseason ban or a significant reduction in scholarships, on the table. Penn State football is not expected, however, to receive a “death penalty” that would suspend the program for 2012 or beyond, according to multiple reports. The NCAA would confirm only that it will take “corrective and punitive measures” against Penn State. A spokesman said there will be no further comment until NCAA president Mark Emmert

reveals details at a 9 a.m. press conference today in Indianapolis. News of the impending sanctions and the statue came almost simultaneously. The NCAA’s statement was made as Penn State workers were still in the process of removing Paterno’s likeness from the stadium grounds on Sunday morning. While many anticipated such a fate for Paterno’s statue in light of the Freeh report -- which cast blame on the late coach and three other top university officials for their handling of allegations of child abuse -- the NCAA sanctions would be historic. For the first time since estab-

lishing an enforcement arm more than 60 years ago, the NCAA is set to unilaterally hand down punishment on an athletic program. It would be a unique action applied to a unique situation at an NCAA member school. And one that could cause controversy. “If the media reports are true, then the NCAA has charted an unprecedented, and perhaps unconstitutional, course of action,” the law firm of Michael L. Buckner, which follows collegiate athAP PHOTO letic cases, said in a statement. “Federal and state courts have The outline of part of a statue is visible on the wall after its reSee PSU, Page 5B

Horlacher advances to championship game

Romanwoski works extra for GP victory

CHRIS MAGY For The Times Leader

GREENSVILLE – It has been awhile since the Bob Horlacher 9- and 10-year-old All-Stars had been a tight a game. But it didn’t mean they would fold. Horlacher rallied for four runs in the bottom of the fifth to defeat Milton 6-5 in the 9-10 Softball State Tournament semifinal game. Horlacher (4-0) will face host West Point (4-0) today at 1 p.m. for the state title. “We haven’t a game like this in a while,” said manager Doug Jones. “We didn’t give up a run in sectionals and until this game, we haven’t had a close one.” The game wouldn’t have been close if it wasn’t for some mental and physical errors. After shutting down the potent Milton offense in the top of the first, Horlacher scored a run but a base running error cost them one and maybe more. “We ran ourselves out of that inning,” said Jones. “We had a chance to score more than one but we didn’t.” Milton got through in the top of the second and scored four runs on Horlacher starter Delaney Romachik. Megan Straley cut the lead in half in the bottom of the second when she walked, stole second and then came around to score on a pair of wild pitches. Milton added a run in the fifth but it wasn’t enough to hold off Horlacher. Faith Jones started off the inning with a walk and Erin Dunn singled to get Horlacher going. Hope Jones followed with an RBI single and Romachik singled to load the bases. A sac fly and two wild pitches gave Horlacher a 6-5 lead with Milton having one last at bat. “Our bats finally came alive and got us the lead,” said Jones. Hope Jones came in a put Milton down 1-2-3 to put Horlacher into the championship game. “Delaney pitched well and Hope came on and finished it off,” said Jones. Hope Jones had two RBI and two singles. She also got the save.

was familiar with. “I don’t know,” BCM coach Samantha Dessa said of her team Sunday. “We played back-to-back games. I don’t know.” Ashley Casem pitched well in earning the win, scattering six hits and fanning five. She retired nine straight between the third and sixth innings, finding a groove that put the game away. “I really thought they were a great team defensively, pitching,” Casem said. “But we came to play and it helped us. We just hit the ball well, too.” Casem benefitted from the lead she was staked to, as Mountain Top broke the game open in the middle innings while its pitcher was mowing down BCM batters. Kiera Mongeon singled and Ariel Rowlands doubled to left to open the third inning. Ritz followed with a single to left-center to start the scoring. Casem followed with a run-scoring fielder’s choice. Then, with two outs and Maddy O’Donohue at the plate, Ritz broke from third. “Actually, coach wanted me to go a little earlier,” Ritz said of her delayed steal. “I just wanted to make sure. I’ve done it before. It was just a good call by coach.” Potoski started the fourth inning with a single to center, and Rowlands, Ritz and Casem added hits as the Mountain Top lead

moved to 4-0. Kelsey Rinehamer’s single to center with the bases loaded plated two, and put the game well out of reach. O’Donohue (a single) and Potoski (a walk) scored on an error in the fifth to make it 8-0. “It was huge,” Casem said of having the lead. “It was so much easier to go out there. The team really played great defensively, too. Everyone contributed to this.” BCM slipped a run across in the bottom of the sixth, but could not maintain any pressure on Mountain Top. Shortstop Mel Snyder made a big play on one ground ball. A leadoff single in the seventh turned into a double play when left fielder Juliet Wotherspoon tracked down a fly ball, then threw to Potoski at first before the BCM runner could get back. “Another unsung hero for us was Juliet,” Mountain Top manager Chuck Casem said. “Did you see that play in the outfield?

SCRANTON – Inning after inning, Greater Pittston coach kept asking Adam Romanowski if he was out of gas. Each time, Romanowski, well above the 100-pitch plateau, abruptly shook off his manager. The Wyoming Area graduate cruised to an 11 2/3-inning performance to pick up a win in a heated 12-inning, 6-5 victory over Valley View in the losers’ bracket of the American Legion Section 5 championships. Greater Pittston survives to the third day of the tournament where it will face Green Ridge today at noon at Connell Park in Scranton. “I told coach I want the ball,” Romanowski said. “I feel it’s my game, and I got the job done.” Following 336 total pitches and over two-and-a-half hours, the game came down to a play at the plate. Ron Musto tagged Conner Kranick out at the plate on a relay throw from first baseman Bart Chupka via centerfielder Kody Nowicki. Musto dove at Conner Kranick to prevent the potential tying run from scoring. “As soon as Cody picked up the ball, he hadn’t even touched third base yet so I knew I had time,” Musto said. “I honestly thought Cody was going to throw it on the hop. When Cody threw it to Bart, I knew we were going to get him at the plate. The kid came sliding in hard and I had enough time to get him.” Pittston Area graduate Musto engineered the offense in the 12th inning. Musto pulled a ball down the third-base line for a

double to put Greater Pittston with two runners in scoring position and no outs. Mike Carey bunted on a suicide squeeze play to plate the go-ahead run. Romanowski tossed 145 pitches – 95 for strikes – in a near complete game effort. “He knows I ask him every inning if he wants to go back out,” Whyte said. “He’s been that type all year for us. Believe me, I would never put him out there to hurt him. He just has a rubber arm. He has the ability to throw a lot of pitches.” He started and finished the game but was taken out briefly in the 10th to let Mike Carey pitch to a sacrifice bunt and intentional walk. According to Legion rules, Romanowski is allowed to make a second appearance. “It takes a toll on my arm,” Romanowski said. “If he gets to pitch to a guy that’s just going to lay down a bunt and another that we’re going to walk anyways, it just saving me a few pitches to have Mike come in there and give me a little rest.” Greater Pittston 6, Valley View 5 (12) Greater Pittston Valley View ab r h bi ab r h bi Nowicki cf 4 1 1 0 Williams lf 5 0 1 1 McDrmtt ss 5 2 1 1 Cholish ss 5 1 0 0 Musto c 4 1 2 3 Callejas 2b 4 1 1 0 Grove 3b 5 0 1 0 Staback c 4 0 1 2 Maloney db 4 1 0 0 Fergsn 1b 5 1 1 0 Bone lf 5 0 1 1 CKranick cf 5 1 2 0 Chupka 1b 5 0 0 0 JKranick p 5 0 1 1 RCarey 2b 5 0 0 0 Cwalinski rf 4 1 1 1 Debona rf 5 1 1 0 MKrnick 3b 4 0 0 0 Rmnwski p 1 0 0 0 Bordo pr 0 0 0 0 MCarey 3b 0 0 0 1 Rissinger c 1 0 0 0 Totals 43 6 7 6 Totals 42 5 8 5 Greater Pittston................ 001 030 010 001 6 Valley View....................... 001 200 020 000 6 2B – GP Musto, VV Williams, Staback; HR – GP Musto; SB – GP Nowicki 2, VV CKranick 2, JKranick IP H R ER BB SO Greater Pittston Romanowski (W) ..... 11.2 8 5 5 2 9 Carey ......................... .1 0 0 0 1 0 Valley View Kranick....................... 7 4 4 1 4 1 Cholish (L) ................ 5 3 2 0 1 2 Pitches-Strikes – GP Romanowski 145-92, Carey 5-1; VV JKranick 108-59, Cholish 78-51

Tunkhannock finds bats, tops Green Ridge

By DAVE ROSENGRANT drosengrant@timesleader.com

SCRANTON – In its first five postseason games, Tunkhannock rode solid pitching to win games and advance. On Sunday night, the team broke out the bats piling up 14 hits and 12 runs in a 12-8 win over Green Ridge in the winner’s bracket semifinal of the Region 5 American Legion Baseball Tournament at Battaglia Field. Every player that received an at-bat for Tunkhannock reached base and five different batters had a multiple hit game as the team reached the winner’s bracket final and will play Milton at 3:30 p.m. today at Connell Park. Milton defeated Towanda 11-5 on Sunday to advance. Green Ridge, meanwhile, falls to the loser’s bracket and will face Greater Pittston today at noon in an elimination game. “We struggled the first game going back to the metal bats and midway through that game the kids said they started to feel comfortable swinging the medal bats again,” Tunkhannock manager Scott Zaner said. “I just think we’re comfortable going back from the wood to metal.” The bats woke up in the bottom of the second as Tunkhannock opened the scoring with two runs on an RBI-double by Lance Sherry and a single from Randy Thompson for a 2-0 lead. Green Ridge, the District 11 runner-up, didn’t allow any Tunkhannock runs to score in the third and fourth innings, while plating an unearned run in the top of the fourth to trim the lead to 2-1. But a scoreless fourth for Tunkhannock, the Wyoming Valley No. 2 seed, was the last inning it would not score at least one run. Tunkhannock wasted little time getting the unearned run back some piling up three runs in the bottom of the fifth to open a 5-1 cushion. The team used smart baserunning to score a run. When Rich Condeelis was caught in a rundown in between first and second, Wes Custer scored from third. Custer also had an RBI-single in the inning and Condeelis got a run in on a fielder’s choice. Green Ridge scored another unearned run in the top of the sixth to inch closer, but Tunkhannock tacked on two more in the

sixth to open a 7-2 lead. One of the runs scored on another rundown play this time with Alex Zaner running home from third when Ryan Goodwin was hung up. Pitching was also key for Tunkhannock as Alex Zaner started the game and only gave up two unearned runs until Green Ridge got to him for three in top of the seventh. Before that little blip, he only allowed four hits and was very effective throwing strikes making batters put the ball in play and trusting his defense. A two-run single from D.J. Navoczynski in the top of the seventh pulled Green Ridge within 7-5. He got through the eighth without allowing anymore damage from Green Ridge. “Alex is a utility pitcher. He doesn’t throw at all except legion baseball. He’s an infielder and I’m really proud of him,” the skipper said about his son. “He gutted up and threw a nice game. He was gutty getting through that eighth inning.” Four runs by Tunkhannock in the bottom of the seventh blew the game open as it batted around getting run-scoring hits from Zaner (2-for-6) and Sherry (2-for-4).

SWB Yanks top Braves

LAWRENCEVILLE, G.A. – It was another thriller between Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and Gwinnett as the Yankees (57-45) defeated the Braves (46-57) 4-3 on Sunday at Coolray Field. Corban Joseph delivered the game-winning run with a home run in the ninth inning. The Yankees took a lead in the first inning on an RBI single by Kevin Russso. Matt Antonelli made it 2-0 in the fifth when he singled home Ramiro Pena, who had tripled. Joseph added an RBI double in the seventh. The Braves managed to cut the score to 3-2 in the bottom of the seventh and tied the game eighth. AUTO RACING

Sadler holds off Stenhouse for victory

JOLIET, Ill. — Elliott Sadler held off a charge by Ricky Stenhouse Jr. on a green-whitechecker finish to win the NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Chicagoland Speedway on Sunday. Stenhouse appeared to have the stronger car and was chasing down Sadler in the closing laps of the race. But a late caution bunched up the field for NASCAR’s version of overtime, Sadler got a push from Justin Allgaier on the restart and pulled away. Stenhouse finished second, followed by Allgaier, Kenny Wallace and Michael Annett.

It’s time to mix in a little football advice Change is good. Most of the time. The seasons changing are a good thing. Car oil, socks, underwear? Very good things. The locks on your door when you come home late from bowling? Ehhhh. Not so much. In fantasy sports, change can be … interesting, especially if you play both baseball and football. Just as your baseball team needs your help as it heads into the home stretch, NFL training camps are opening up and fantasy football begins frantically waving its arms begging for your attention. So, for this week, we’ll shift gears and drop some knowledge about both sports. OK, so maybe not “knowledge.” But “informed speculation.” It’s sort of like calling a bartender a “relaxation engineer.” BASEBALL: QUICK PICK-ME-UPS Of all the positions, catcher is a tough one to get consistent fantasy numbers from. A full season of squatting, foul tips and broken bats takes a toll on the body, so most catchers don’t play every day.

RICH SHEPOSH FANTASY SPORTS And many have a tendency to wear down as the season moves along. If you didn’t land one the few stars on draft day, or you spent a high pick in the Indians’ Carlos Santana – whose been playing more like Carlos Santana the guitarist than the top-ranked preseason catcher – here are a couple of promising guys who could help out. Yasmani Grandal, Padres: Since being called up on June 2, Grandal has posted some nice stats: A .286 average, 11 runs, 5 HRs and 11 RBI. That’s one HR less than Alex Avila, Geovany Soto, Joe Mauer and Santana each have since the season started. He’s worth a flyer if you need help at catcher. Michael McKenry, Pirates: On June 24, McKenry was sporting a Mario Mendoza-like .174 average with a Steve Jeltzlike 3 HRS and 6 RBI. Since then, he’s been channeling Johnny Bench, hitting .390 with 4 HRs and 13 RBI. The Pirates are for real this year, and McKenry is proving he is too.

NFL: THREE BIG LETDOWNS If you’ve been plotting strategy for upcoming fantasy drafts, you probably have looked over a few lists of player rankings. And how nice it would have been, you thought, if you could have a team with Marshawn Lynch at RB and Dez Bryant and Kenny Britt at WR. Ahhh. Not so fast, Horatio. These three NFL stars enrolled in “Idiot School” in the offseason and graduated with high honors. The Seahawks Marshawn Lynch had 12 TDs and rushed for 1,200 yards in 2011 and was a borderline first round draft pick for 2012. That was before he got picked up on DUI charges earlier this month. He’s had some past run-ins with the law, so a suspension from the league offices seems likely. How long a suspension will determine how far he drops on draft boards. If he gets four games or less, he’s still worth a pick. WR Dez Bryant of the Cowboys is in a similar boat. Loaded with talent, Bryant caught 9 TDs in a potent Dallas offense and was expected to do better this year. But, on July 16, Bryant went out and got himself arrested on a domestic violence

Stallings captures True South Classic

MADISON, Miss. — Scott Stallings shot a 4-under 68 in the final round on Sunday to win the True South Classic at Annandale Golf Club. The 27-year-old won his second career tournament and his first in 2012, shooting a 24under 264, which is a tournament record at Annandale. Jason Bohn shot a 5-under 67 to finish second, two strokes back. Billy Horschel was alone in third at four strokes back. Stallings jumped on top of the leaderboard by shooting back-toback 64s in the second and third rounds. He wasn’t quite as spectacular on Sunday, but late birdies on 16 and 17 allowed him to pull away for the victory. OLYMPICS

U.S. men hold off Argentina in basketball

BARCELONA, Spain — Kevin Durant scored 27 points and the United States held on for a narrow 86-80 victory over Argentina in an exhibition game on Sunday. The Americans got off to a hot start but their lead was down to four with 2:50 left after Manu Ginobili’s three-point play. But Durant and Chris Paul hit big 3-pointers as the U.S. won after being pushed for the second time in its four exhibition games. Kobe Bryant added 18 points and LeBron James 15 for the U.S., which beat Brazil 80-69 in a similarly rugged game last week in Washington. -- The Associated Press

charge. Like Lynch, he’s had past legal issues, which usually attracts the eye of Roger Goodell. If he is suspended, he falls from a third or fourth round fantasy pick to the draft’s nether regions. And then, there’s the Titans Kenny Britt. Before he tore his ACL early in 2011, he was on pace for a Calvin Johnson-like season -- a 1,700 yard, 15 TD kind of year. Surgery, rehab and then more surgery cut into his fantasy value, but if he could enter the season close to healthy, he could have been a monster steal on draft day. Key words there: COULD HAVE. Britt was arrested Friday morning on a DUI charge in Kentucky. It is his eighth – yes, that’s right – EIGHTH unscheduled date with the police since he entered the league in 2009. He’s already had one meeting with Goodell and it’s a good bet his next one will result in some hefty time off. The equation for Britt is simple: Legal issues + looming suspension + knee issues X severe numbskullitis = Don’t waste a pick on him.

CYCLING

PARIS — Bradley Wiggins has become the first Briton to win the Tour de France, after safely protecting the yellow jersey during Sunday’s final processional ride into Paris. He even helped Sky teammate Mark Cavendish earn his fourth straight sprint victory on the Champs-Elysees. Wiggins secured his win with a dominating performance in Saturday’s final time trial to extend his already commanding lead. Fellow Briton and Sky teammate Christopher Froome finished second, 3 minutes, 21 seconds behind overall. Vincenzo Nibali of Italy finished third, 6:19 off the pace. The last time two riders from the same nation finished first and second in the Tour was in 1984, when Frenchman Laurent Fignon defeated Bernard Hinault.

Former Cincinnati Reds star Barry Larkin waits for applause as he prepares to give his acceptance speech for his induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum on Sunday in Cooperstown, N.Y.

Larkin, Santo join game’s immortals By JOHN KEKIS AP Sports Writer

COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. — Barry Larkin lost it before he even started. Vicki Santo never wavered as she honored her late husband, Ron. Baseball’s highest honor always seems to leave a special impression on those directly involved. Larkin, the former star shortstop for the Cincinnati Reds, and Ron Santo, a standout third baseman for the Chicago Cubs and later a beloved broadcaster for the team, were inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. After wiping away tears as his teenage daughter sang the national anthem, Larkin began a litany of thankyous to the important people who helped him along his journey, none more important than his mom, Shirley, and father, Robert, who were seated in the first row. “If we were going to do something, we were going to do it right,” Larkin said. “Growing up, you challenged me. That was so instrumental.”

consistently held that membership organizations, including athletics associations like the NCAA, are required to provide procedures that protect their members against arbitrary and irrational action. “Thus, an NCAA rule or decision cannot be applied unreasonably so that it creates different classes of schools. Accordingly, any NCAA sanction against Penn State at this stage may potentially violate federal and state notions of due and fair process.” A formal investigation of Penn State by the NCAA was never initiated. Typically, schools are given a written notice of allegations followed by a hearing with the NCAA infractions committee before any

Born and raised in Cincinnati, Larkin was a two-sport star at Moeller High School and thought he might become a pro football player after accepting a scholarship to play college ball at Michigan for Bo Schembechler. That changed in a hurry. “He (Schembechler) redshirted me my freshman year and told me that he was going to allow me just to play baseball,” Larkin said. “Occasionally, I’d call him while I was playing in the big leagues and told him that was the best decision he made as a football coach. He didn’t like that too much.” Drafted fourth by the Reds in 1985, despite playing just 41 games his first year Larkin finished seventh in the National League Rookie of the Year voting in 1986. Two years later, Larkin was an AllStar with a .296 average, 91 runs scored, 32 doubles and 40 stolen bases. And with a host of older players to guide him — Eric Davis, Ron Oester, Buddy Bell, player-manager Pete Rose, a Cincinnati native, slugger Tony Perez, and even star shortstop Dave Con-

decision is reached. Emmert laid the groundwork for this departure from NCAA bylaws in a letter he wrote to Penn State president Rodney Erickson in November. “While admittedly, the actions alleged to have occurred in this instance are not specifically listed in the bylaw, it is clear that deceitful and dishonest behavior can be found to be unethical conduct,” Emmert wrote. “Surely, the spirit of this bylaw also constrains behavior that endangers young people.” The Freeh report, an independent investigation commissioned by Penn State in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky scandal, concluded that Paterno, former president Graham Spanier, former senior vice president Gary Schultz and Tim Curley, on leave as athletic director, were most responsible at the university for not bringing Sandusky’s crimes to light. Since the report was released July 12,

cepcion, the man he would replace — Larkin’s major league career quickly took off. “I played with some monumental figures in the game,” said Larkin, who was introduced to baseball by his dad at the age of 5. “They helped me through some very rough times as a player.” After giving special thanks in Spanish to the Latin players that also helped mold him, Larkin heaped special praise on Rose and Concepcion. “I wouldn’t be in the big leagues if it weren’t for Pete,” Larkin said, eliciting a stirring applause from the fans, two of whom were holding a placard inscribed with “Cincinnati’s hometown heroes, Larkin and Rose.” “And Dave Concepcion, understanding that I was gunning for his job, understanding that I was from Cincinnati, he spent countless hours with me preparing me for the game,” Larkin said. “I idolized Davey Concepcion as a kid. Thank you, my idol. My inclusion in the Hall of Fame is the ultimate validation. I want to thank you all for helping me along the way.”

Paterno’s reputation has taken significant damage, culminating in Erickson’s decision to remove the bronze statue, including the likeness of players following him onto the field and various plaques highlighting his career. “I now believe that, contrary to its original intention, coach Paterno’s statue has become a source of division and an obstacle to healing in our university and beyond,” Erickson said. “For that reason, I have decided that it is in the best interest of our university and public safety to remove the statue and store it in a secure location. “I believe that, were it to remain, the statue will be a recurring wound to the multitude of individuals across the nation and beyond who have been the victims of child abuse.” Erickson said that that Paterno’s name will remain affixed to the on-campus library he funded because “it highlights the

when it came undone. “I had it in my hands with four to go,” Scott said. A bogey from the bunker on the 15th cut the lead to three. That was followed by a three-putt bogey on the 16th, where his 3-foot par putt spun in and out of the cup and made the gallery gasp. From the middle of the 17th fairway, he hit a 6-iron that turned left, ran down the slope and took one last bounce in shin-high grass. “I thought, ‘Hold on. We’ve got a problem here,’ “ said Graeme McDowell, playing with Scott in the final group. By then, Els had posted a 2-under 68 with a 15-foot birdie putt on the final hole, a cheer that Scott recognized while playing the 17th. Scott failed to get upand-down for par from the rough and suddenly was tied. Els headed to the practice green, where it rarely works out for him. In perhaps the most crushing defeat in a career filled with them, Els was on the putting green at Augusta National in 2004 when Phil Mickelson made an 18-foot birdie putt to win the Masters. “I just thought, ‘I’ll probably be disappointed again,’ “ Els said. “You’re not really hoping the guy is going to make a mistake, but you’re hoping you don’t have to go a playoff, you can win outright. This one was different, because I feel for Adam.” Els, who started the final round six shots behind, wound up with his second British Open — the other one was 10 years ago at Muirfield — and fourth major championship at a stage in his career when it looked as if his best golf was behind him. “Amazing,” Els said. “I’m still numb. It still hasn’t set in. It will probably take quite a few days because I haven’t been in this position for 10 years, obviously. So it’s just crazy, crazy, crazy getting here.” The celebration was muted, unlike his other three majors. “First of all, I feel for Adam Scott. He’s a great friend of mine,” Els said. “Obviously, we both wanted to win very badly. But you know, that’s the nature of the beast. That’s why we’re out here. You win. You lose. It was my time for some reason.” The wind finally arrived off the Irish Sea and ushered in pure chaos — a mental blunder by Woods that led to triple bogey on the sixth hole, a lost ball by Brandt Snedeker that took him out of contention and a topped shot that made McDowell, a former U.S. Open champion, look like an amateur. positive impacts” Paterno had on Penn State. The removal of the statue came six months to the day after the coach’s death from lung cancer. Through a spokesman, the family decried the decision. “Tearing down the statue of Joe Paterno does not serve the victims of Jerry Sandusky’s horrible crimes or help heal the Penn State community,” the family said. “We believe the only way to help the victims is to uncover the full truth. … We think the better course would have been for the university to take a strong stand in support of due process so that the complete truth can be uncovered.” To that end, the family said earlier this month that it will launch its own investigation independent of the Freeh report. For now, however, the focus will remain on the future for Penn State, beginning with the school’s response to the pending sanctions.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

IN BRIEF WILKES-BARRE: Dawe Consulting, LLC and cds creative, inc. are accepting applications from nonprofit organizations in Northeastern Pennsylvania for the 11th Annual CreateAthon to be held Oct. 11-12. CreateAthon is a 24-hour blitz during which local creative professionals provide marketing and creative services to nonprofit organizations in Luzerne, Lackawanna, Lehigh, Monroe and Wyoming counties on a pro-bono basis. Other counties will be considered on a special needs basis. The volunteers include local artists, writers, web designers, developers and others. Last year, NEPA CreateAthon provided marketing services to 15 nonprofit organizations. The market value of the work produced during the annual event is estimated at $50,000. CreateAthon is the brainchild of RIGGS, Inc., an advertising, marketing and communications firm in Columbia, S.C. In an effort to give nonprofit organizations the professional, creative marketing materials that would otherwise be financially unfeasible, RIGGS formed the first CreateAthon in 1998. The round-the-clock creative and design work will be held on Oct. 11 and the final work will be presented to the nonprofits on Oct. 12. Times and venues will be announced at a later date. Applications are available at www.nepacat.org. The deadline for submission is Aug. 15. Organizations selected to receive the services of CreateAthon 2012 will be announced by Sep. 1.
