Critics also fear the loss of school tax revenue could be as high as $12 billion which everyone agrees would be a staggering amount to make up through other levies.

The third company seeking to place a compressor station in Luzerne County to speed transportation of Marcellus Shale natural gas to market will bring its plans to the Luzerne County Zoning Hearing Board on Aug. 7. UGI Energy Services Inc. wants to construct three natural-gas fueled compressors on a 14-acre plot of land in an A1 agricultural district off Fire Cut Road. The site, purchased from Joseph P. Kalinosky of Fire Cut Road, will also contain natural gas meters, storage tanks, a radio transmission tower, an odorant building and associated equipment, according to plans submitted by UGI Energy Services. The company needs a special exception from the board to build the station and a variance to build a radio communication tower up to 150 feet tall. The last two companies proposing similar facilities, both before Dallas Township’s Zoning Board, changed their plans in the face of heavy public opposition. UGI will likely face its own packed house when it meets with county’s zoning board at the Luzerne County Courthouse. The county zoning hearing board handles zoning decisions for West Wyoming and 22 other municipalities in the county. “We expect a big crowd,” zoning hearing board member Anthony Palischak said.

By TOM BARNES Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

HARRISBURG -- The state Legislature can’t bring itself to vote on the thorny issue of eliminating school property taxes, and yet it can’t stop battling over the idea either. "We have met the enemy and it is us,"

state Sen. Jim Ferlo, D-Highland Park, quipped last week at a hearing on Senate Bill 1400. He’s a co-sponsor of the bill, which is risky to lawmakers because it would cost state school districts at least $9 billion a year, while shifting the job of collecting property taxes from the 500 local districts to state officials. Opponents wonder if the state will send back to local districts the full amount they are owed.

Boroughs honor memories of 2 police chiefs Edward Brennan and Ralph Dailey were killed in the line of duty in 1918. By RALPH NARDONE Times Leader Correspondent

WYOMING -- In 1918, two police chiefs from neighboring West Wyoming and Wyoming boroughs met their deaths on the same night at the hands of the same perpetrator. On Sunday, officials and police from both communities gathered at the Wyoming Borough Chief Edward Brennan Public Safety Annex to commemorate the late chiefs’ heroism and the tragedy of their untimely deaths. West Wyoming Police Chief Ralph Daley responded to a call to disperse a group of troublemakers around 11 p.m., according to Wyoming Borough’s Assistant Chief Joseph Kopko. Daley met some resistance, eventually being shot to death near Eighth and Shoemaker streets. He was 27 years old and left a wife and four children behind, Kopko said. That same evening, the unarmed and off-duty Wyoming Borough Chief Edward Brennan approached the same group, telling them to move along when shots rang out, Kopko said.

said this was the fifth year both boroughs got together to honor the fallen policemen. “We do it because many local people just don’t know the story, and to remind them of the types of risks police take every day on

the job,” Boyer said. West Wyoming Council President Eileen Cipriani emphasized both boroughs should never forget what happed that night. “It’s important to keep the memory alive,” she said. “Like so

many other heroes they deserve our utmost respect,” she added. The ceremony included a rifle tribute from the members of the Wyoming Veterans of Foreign Wars, a floral presentation by members of the police departments from both boroughs and a startling rendition of the “Star Spangled Banner” sung by 10year-old Abby Barhight. Council members from both boroughs, Boyer and West Wyoming Mayor Joseph Herbert and several members of both police departments stood and saluted during the tradition bugle playing of taps. Although the shooter was caught by the Pennsylvania State Police in nearby West Pittston, he was never charged with either crime because of what was deemed insufficient evidence.

LOS ANGELES — “The Dark Knight Rises” stayed atop the box office for the second straight weekend, making just over $64 million. But it’s lagging behind the staggering numbers of its predecessor, 2008’s “The Dark Knight.” The final piece in Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy has now grossed more than $289 million in its first 10 days in theaters. It dropped 60 percent from its opening weekend of $160.9 million. By comparison, “The Dark Knight” took a 53 percent drop in its second weekend with a gross of nearly $75.2 million and a 10-day cumulative gross of $313.8 million. Dan Fellman, head of distribution for Warner Bros., declined to comment on the Sunday estimates again out of respect for the victims of the Aurora, Colo., shooting that left 12 people dead and another 58 injured at a midnight showing of the film on opening night. But people are still going to the movies, and they did so even last weekend, said Hollywood.com analyst Paul Dergarabedian. If anything hurt the numbers for all movies this weekend, he said, it was Friday night’s opening ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, which drew a record-setting 40.7 million viewers in the United States. In second place this weekend was the animated family film “Ice Age: Continental Drift,” which is still going strong in its third week. Both of the new movies in wide release opened weakly. The 20th Century Fox comedy “The Watch” came in third place with $13 million. And “Step Up Revolution” — the fourth film in the dance franchise, which is set in Miami this time — opened at No. 4 with $11.8 million.

Dodgeball tourney helps injured boy and family

By GERI GIBBONS Times Leader Correspondent

ILKES-BARRE -- Zachary Shoemaker’s family once again celebrated his life and his recovery from a tragic 2008 car accident during the Fifth Annual Zachary Shoemaker Dodgeball Tournament on Sunday the 109th National Guard Armory. • The event that originally began as a “one-time effort” to raise money for his family during his hospital stay, now has become a community tradition that raises both money and the spirits of attendees. • In addition to dodgeball, the event also included live music, food and raffles, and a spirit of fun.

Forty teams of eight players, as well as spectators, gathered for the event, coordinated by Stephanie Sikora, Zachary’s godmother. A double-elimination format ensured each team would play at least twice. Approximately $10,000 was expected to be raised and it will be used by the family for medical bills, travel expenses and lifestyle adjustments, such as widening the steps in the family home. The family is also considering such projects as a chair lift and a wheelchair ramp for the front porch. “More important than money is the direct impact the event has on Zack and the positive energy it creates,” said Sikora. Participants of the event seemed to fully embrace the spirit, and all were there to support Zack, 7, and his family. “We want to win,” said a smiling participant Tia Rosentel, Wilkes-Barre, “but if we don’t win we have still had a lot of fun for a good cause.”

Zack’s parents, Traci and Jason Shoemaker, are especially grateful for the event and for the progress that Zachary has made. Originally, Zack was not expected to be any more than a “vegetable.” He has now started laughing and smiling, and is certainly aware of the presence of others. “He’s my inspiration,” said mom, Traci, remembering that doctors were originally doubtful that Zachary would progress as he has. That progress, although slow, is certainly steady. His sister Abby, 2, provides constant stimulation for him at home. He also enjoys attending school five days a week. He is especially responsive to family members. Grandmother Cathy Shoemaker notes that four generations of her family were at the event, and participate in Zack’s care throughout the year. A poster on the wall at the tournament reads “Miracles Do Happen.” For Zachary Shoemaker and his family, this is certainly true.

Colorado theater didn’t have security

B R I E F

No uniformed guards were on duty the night of Batman movie premier shootings. The Associated Press

DENVER — The Colorado movie theater complex that was the scene of a gunman’s massacre this month didn’t have any uniformed security

guards on duty the night of the shooting, even though other theaters operated by the same company did provide such protection for the busy premiere of the Batman film “The Dark Knight Rises.” It’s impossible to know whether guards — often off-duty police officers — at the Aurora Century 16 would have spotted the suspected gunman,

James Holmes, and thwarted the attack that left 12 moviegoers dead and dozens wounded on July 20. Officers hired as guards are generally armed and usually spend their time roaming the complex, checking bags or dealing with minor disputes. Cinemark provided off-duty police guards at the Aurora theater on busy Friday and Satur-

day nights. The attack came early Friday, shortly after the midnight screening of the Batman film began. Plano, Texas-based Cinemark, which operates the Aurora theater, declined to explain why guards weren’t provided in Aurora that night and declined to discuss safety policies in general.

KABUL, AFGHANISTAN

2 NATO troops killed

The NATO military coalition on Sunday said two service members were killed in an insurgent attack in the west of the country. The military alliance known as ISAF didn’t provide further details. NATO also did not provide the nationalities of the dead. The deaths bring the number of international service members killed in Afghanistan so far this month to at least 44. The latest casualties underscored the volatility of Afghanistan as NATO scales back its operations, planning to hand over security responsibility to local forces by the end of 2014. The coalition also denied as “incorrect” Pakistani claims that its military had informed NATO 52 times in recent months that insurgents were crossing from Pakistan into Afghanistan. QUINCY, PA.

Man charged says he erred

Hours after authorities began investigating the shooting deaths of three people in a central Pennsylvania home, the man later charged in the case admitted to state police that he’d “messed up.” The suspect, Kevin Cleeves of Waynesboro, said that in retrospect he never should have gone to the home of his estranged wife’s boyfriend Friday night, even if he was concerned about the welfare of his 4-year-old daughter. Because there, authorities alleged, he quarreled with his wife and her boyfriend in front of the girl and was told to leave but instead opened fire, shooting to death the two adults as well as the man’s mother. He then fled with the girl 250 miles to neighboring Ohio, where he was arrested and his daughter was recovered safely. Cleeves was charged with three counts of criminal homicide in the deaths of 25-year-old Brandi Cleeves, 28-year-old Vincent Santucci and 55year-old Rosemary Holma and was awaiting an extradition hearing Monday. Court records listed no attorney for him. MEMPHIS, TENN.

Man claims mental illness

An Arkansas man suspected of killing his parents and abducting his 12year-old sister claimed to be mentally ill or deficient in 2007 before he eventually pleaded guilty to assaulting a female relative or household member. Antonio Whitlow, 33, was arrested Saturday in Memphis, Tenn., hours after his parents were found slain in their home in Little Rock, about 135 miles away. His sister was with him and seemed unharmed, Little Rock Police Sgt. Cassandra Davis said Sunday.

Rebels make gains

Neighborhoods in Syrian hub are being held By PAUL SCHEMM Associated Press

EIRUT — Syrian tanks and artillery pounded rebel-held neighborhoods in the commercial hub of Aleppo on Sunday in a bid to retake control as President Bashar Assad’s regime accused regional powerhouses Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey of trying to destroy the country. Activists say opposition fighters control large swathes of territory across Syria’s largest city. The government has been struggling for a week to beat back their assault and stem the tide of recent rebel advances in the civil war. The head of the main opposition group, the Syrian National Council, called for international help in arming the rebels to face the regime’s heavy weaponry, particularly tanks. “If the international community cannot act, they should support the opposition with anti-tanks missiles and antiaircraft rockets,” Abdel Basset Sida told the Gulf News during a stopover in Abu Dhabi. "We seek international supporters to arm our uprising against the regime.” Saudi Arabia and Qatar have expressed willingness to help fund the rebels and they are believed to be funneling money through Turkey to the opposition, which is using it to purchase arms and equipment. Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem railed against interference by the region’s Sunni powers in a rare public criticism of his Middle East neighbors. He accused them of supporting the rebels at the behest of Israel. “Israel is the mastermind of all in this crisis,” he said during a joint news conference in Tehran with his Iranian counterpart Ali Akbar Salehi . “They (Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey) are fighting in the same front.” Syria’s Sunni majority forms the backbone of the uprising while the regime is dominated by Assad’s minority Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shiite Islam. Iran is Syria’s only remaining ally in the Middle East, standing by Damascus throughout the 17-month uprising. Amid fears of a massacre or a bloody final battle in Aleppo, civilians have been fleeing the city in ever greater num-

bers. “Life in Aleppo has become unbearable. I’m in my car and I’m leaving right now,” said a Syrian writer as he got ready to drive away. “There’s shelling night and day, every day,” he said over the telephone on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals. He painted a dire picture of daily life in the embattled city, torn between the government forces and those of the rebels. “Bread, gasoline and gas are being sold on the black market at very high prices,” he said. “Many things are in shortage.” Videos uploaded onto the Internet show deserted neighborhood streets filled with rubble knocked off the multistory apartment buildings by incoming mortar shells. Shards of broken glass also litter the streets and few windows appear to still be intact. Since the rebel assault on Aleppo began a week ago, about192 people have been killed, mostly civilians, according to the activist group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Some 19,000 people have died since the uprising began, the group says. The regime strategy for now appears to be to soften the rebel positions with artillery before actually moving into the densely packed streets of the neighborhoods.

WASHINGTON — Penn State will probably have to give its athletic department a long-term loan to pay the $60 million fine imposed by the NCAA after the child sex abuse scandal at the school, the university’s president said in an interview aired Sunday. A combination of funds, including the football program’s financial reserves, will be used to pay the fine, Rodney Erickson told CBS’ “Face the Nation.” The NCAA imposed the fine last week along with a four-year bowl game ban, reduced football scholarships and the forfeiture of 112 wins. “And in all likelihood the university will have to extend the athletic department a long-term loan that they can pay back as they get on their feet, and as we adjust their budget going forward in the football program,” Erickson said. Asked whether Penn State had put too much emphasis on football, Erickson called the athletics program “a tremendous success” but said changes are being considered. “To the extent that some parts of intercollegiate athletics perhaps became too separate, and became too much areas unto themselves and not sufficiently wrapped into the rest of the University — that’s something that we really are looking at,” he said, adding that the critical report by former FBI director Louis Freeh had made recommendations on the issue. Retired assistant coach Jerry Sandusky was convicted last month of 45 counts of sex abuse and is awaiting sentencing. Longtime coach Joe Paterno was ousted in the wake of the scandal and died of lung cancer in January at age 85. The forfeiture of victories imposed by the NCAA imposed erased 14 years of Paterno’s victories, stripping him of his standing as the winningest coach in the history of big-time college football. Erickson also said people will have to judge for themselves the legacy of Paterno. “When some years pass and we get more perspective, we will also come to understand that he had a very important role over 60 years in the education that — our educational goals and our aspirations at the university — and nothing will change that part of Coach Paterno’s legacy.”

Romney calls Jerusalem capital By KASIE HUNT Associated Press

JERUSALEM — On Israeli soil, U.S. presidential candidate Mitt Romney on Sunday declared Jerusalem to be the capital of the Jewish state and said the United States has “a solemn duty and a moral imperative” to block Iran from achieving nuclear weapons capability. “Make no mistake, the ayatollahs in Iran are testing our moral defenses. They want to

know who will object and who will look the other way,” he said. “We will not look away nor will our country ever look away from our passion and commitment to Israel.” In his remarks, Romney steered clear of overt criticism of President Barack Obama, even though he has taken on the present administration in the past for not doing enough to prevent Iran from potentially developing nuclear weapons. The former Massachusetts governor also stepped back

from a comment a senior aide made a short while before the speech. “We recognize Israel’s right to defend itself,” he said. A goal of Romney’s trip is to demonstrate his confidence on the world stage, but his stop in Israel also was designed to cut into Obama’s support among Jewish voters and donors. A Gallup survey of Jewish voters showed Obama with a 68-25 percent edge, according to the poll released Friday.

Elizabeth “Betty” Green passed away Monday, July 23, 2012, at Castle Rock Convalescent Center in Green River, Wyo., surrounded by the love and prayers of her family near and far. Mrs. Green was a longtime resident of Wilkes-Barre and Kingston, and lived in Rock Springs, Wyo., for the past six years. Mrs. Green had been in ill health for the past several years, but her illness never took away her pleasant spirit, her energy to keep going or her beautiful smile. Born November 18, 1927, in Wilkes-Barre she was a daughter of the late Michael and Anna Hassay of the North End section of the city. Betty was a 1945 graduate of James M. Coughlin High School, where she focused on business and being a baton twirling majorette. She married her lifelong sweetheart, Daniel “Skip” Green, in 1946 after completing his service in World War II. Mrs. Green worked in the payroll and accounting field throughout her career. Her favorite jobs were for WBRE-TV, a local NBC affiliate, and the F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts, where she interacted with stage, screen and TV performers and personalities. She also participated in the family wholesale business and did private accounting for several private and non-profit associations. During her lifetime, Betty enjoyed being with her immediate and extended family, ice skating well into her 70s, domestic and international travel, the beach, shopping, and acquiring high-heeled shoes, unique clothing and many, many other collections. Her life was enriched by nieces and nephews who cared for her, cooked for her, visited, transported her and kept her on her toes and laughing. Her “daughter in spirit,” Kathy, was always a welcomed addition to the family. In her later years, Betty’s quality of life was

WENTWORTH, N.C. — A man who had just been released from jail in northern North Carolina was arrested again for refusing to leave the jail after authorities wouldn’t give him a ride to a motel. The News & Record of Greensboro reported that 37-year-old Rodney Dwayne Valentine was charged with trespassing. Valentine was released from the Rockingham County jail Saturday morning after being behind bars since May 22. The sheriff’s office said he asked deputies to drive him to a local motel and they refused. Deputies charged Valentine with second-degree trespassing when he had refused to leave the jail by Saturday afternoon. He is being held on $500 bond.

WORLD OPINION

Drought impact eased by solid trade policies

HE DROUGHT hitting parts of North America illustrates why it’s never a good idea for any region to become dependent on a hundred-mile diet – or protectionist trade policy. The hot, dry weather is affecting about 61 percent of the contiguous United States, which means staple crops such as corn and soybeans are suffering. In Canada, many farmers also are worrying over their fields, but the damage so far isn’t as widespread. Indeed, some Canadian farms – and related industries, such as potash – are likely to benefit from the U.S. drought, as it creates higher world demand and higher prices. The prices will trickle up through the food chain, so the world prices for meat and dairy

will likely rise, too. Nobody likes to pay higher prices at the grocery store, but the scenario would be much worse if there were no trade – if a “hundred-mile diet” were enforced on everyone. If consumers in the United States had no access to imported food, a drought there would be even more disastrous, and the costs of food there would go even higher – while having no effect on food prices in Canada, and thus creating no reward for our farmers or incentive for them to grow more food. This is why trade works. It helps consumers in one country access products they otherwise couldn’t access at all, or at least not without paying exorbitant prices. Ottawa Citizen

QUOTE OF THE DAY “No one should have to die of HIV anymore.” Janet Weinberg The chief operating officer of the Gay Men’s Health Crisis, a New York-based advocacy group, echoed the sentiment of many people attending last week’s International AIDS Conference in Washington. Despite medical advances, cultural and other barriers still prevent people in vulnerable populations – minorities, the young, the poor – from getting proper treatment and slowing the spread of the disease.

Syrian opposition errs

HATEVER THE diehard views of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, the July 18 slaying of three of the most important people in his regime, will have convinced many other supporters that the game is up. Pressure will have been added by an ultimatum from the Free Syria Army that anyone who has not abandoned the dictator will be deemed an enemy and can expect no role in the new Syria. Yet unfortunately, this challenge from the opposition could actually backfire. Though it demonstrates evergreater confidence in the progress of the insurrection, and probably will end up bringing

about even more defections from the military, it could start to work against the rebels. This will happen because soldiers who had failed to defect will fear the consequences of capture in the wake of the regime’s demise. This will mean that they will fight more vigorously and tenaciously than they might have done, even when everything is collapsing around them. The tragedy for all Syrians is that the longer the conflict continues, the worse will be the inter-communal wounds that will be inflicted, and therefore the harder it will be for a new and peaceful Syria to be born.

Malady in the eurozone

T WOULD ONCE have seemed impossible that the credit-worthiness of Germany would be questioned by the credit ratings agencies, but the febrile state of the eurozone is such that this is what Moody’s has done. It has not downgraded the country but says the outlook is negative. France lost its AAA status earlier. The standing of the agencies themselves has never recovered from their calamitous misjudgments prior to the credit crunch, but Moody’s has a point. Germany is not being judged on its own merits – it is still a rock-hard, export-led economy, unlike Britain – but it is being called on to be

Technology putting health care in hands of consumers INFORMATION technology moves at the speed of light. With more and more people using smartphones, mobile apps and tablet computers, access to information is more readily available than ever. For health care consumers, advancements in technology already have impacted the way they receive and manage their care, and more changes are on the horizon. Here are some areas where health care consumers have noticed the greatest change. • Access to health information on the Internet: Today there are countless websites that help consumers understand their health. Whether you want to research a certain ache or pain, or learn more about different surgical options, a wealth of online information is available. Of course, it’s important to make sure that the information is accurate and complete. Consumers should only consider online information from reputable sites that are affiliated with a professional, educational or government organization. And always remember that your personal physician is in the best position to offer medical advice. Any information gained from the Internet should be used only to help you start that conversation with your doctor. • Access to personal information: Advances in IT also have made it possible to securely manage and share individual medical information online. Web-based

MAIL BAG

COMMENTARY JIM MICHAELS applications make it easy to manage many aspects of a person’s health care, including insurance information, medical records, physician information, lab results and prescriptions. • Access to family information: In addition to individual health management, IT developments can give you varying degrees of access to your family members’ medical information. These applications are ideal for those people who provide care for elderly parents or for children. The information is available at your fingertips and helps keep you in the loop when it comes to your family’s health and well-being. • General wellness tools: Everything from calorie counters and weight loss tips, to tools designed to help manage specific conditions such as diabetes, are available through IT applications and web-based sites. The information can be used either under the guidance of a physician or for general knowledge. All of these IT developments are driving a change of focus for health management. Through this open flow of information, patients can educate themselves and be more prepared when they meet with their physicians. This patient-centric model means individuals have more control and become more

engaged in managing their care. Because we understand the value of IT as a tool for health care consumers, Blue Cross of Northeastern Pennsylvania will continue to provide information access and healthmanagement options for our members. Blue Cross offers apps for mobile devices such as Android and iPhones that provide our members with access to their health insurance information on the go. And soon, the Blue Cross website will include transparency tools to help consumers access performance ratings for physicians, cost-ofservice calculators and provider grading systems from accredited bodies. In addition, Blue Cross of Northeastern Pennsylvania is one of many entities that will be participating in Health Information Exchanges. These online clearinghouses will provide a vehicle for physicians, hospitals and other care providers to share health information securely and safely. They also allow individuals to control who has access to this data. The exchanges will help the health care system reduce costs, reduce duplication, provide better treatment and avoid conflicting care. Ultimately, all of this information helps you, the health care consumer, make more educated decisions. And when individuals become more educated and engaged in managing their health, everybody benefits. Jim Michaels is the vice president of information technology operations at Blue Cross of Northeastern Pennsylvania, based in Wilkes-Barre. Visit www.bcnepa.com.

dwardsville gets a bad reputation, but it deserves recognition for its good qualities. On May 30, our double-block home in Edwardsville was destroyed by fire. Watching flames destroy our home and belongings was devastating. The firemen from Edwardsville and surrounding communities were wonderful. They quickly went to work to contain the damage. They were extremely brave and compassionate. Five cats were inside the house. The firefighters searched for our cats and were as thoughtful of our belongings as possible. They saved photo albums and sentimental items. They placed tarps over collectibles to prevent water damage. When they found one cat alive, they gave it oxygen. The neighbors provided support, food, water and anything else we needed. Family and friends also provided support and help. We drew strength from the kindness demonstrated to us, which is helping us on the road to recovery. We cannot thank the courageous firemen and caring community

of neighbors enough. Brenda Naugle Bear Creek Township

Voter ID law needless, unfair and denies rights

t’s bad enough that there are attempts to suppress voters, but the way in which the votes are being suppressed is even more troublesome. Built into the voter ID laws is the denial of due process by the state (not the federal) government, the denial of the principle of innocent until proven guilty, and the law itself requires no proof of wrongdoing. It

DOONESBURY

sounds like one of those old-style laws from the Soviet Union that suggests that you are in a democracy but actually prevents democracy. It’s bad enough that there are virtually no cases of voter ID fraud; but the state apparently does not need any evidence in order to victimize those the state violates under this law. Basic fairness should at least involve the idea of being grandfathered into the right to vote. That is to say, anyone who voted in one of the last two elections should be able to vote in this election. It should be the state’s problem to prove wrongdoing. I didn’t go to Vietnam to defend the right of conservative Republican political thugs who are trying to manipulate an election. Where is the respect for the people and the Constitution? Let us vote them out of office come election day in November! I understand the Supreme Court can, under extreme circumstances, step in and make a ruling on a state law. If it waits until the voters’ rights are violated, then it will have participated in the violation of the voters. Further, it will have shown itself to be inexcusably partisan. Let us hope the court intercedes. Stephen George Bettum Scranton

tion as “very isolated.” The facility would sit 2,425 feet from the nearest residence, which is owned by Kalinosky.

Emissions concerns But residents, environmental activists and municipal officials have all expressed reservations about the project, as they did over the last two compressor stations proposed in the county. The first two companies seeking zoning approval for compressor stations in the county, Williams Field Services LLC and Chief Gathering LLC, decided to move those facilities outside the county after multiple hearings with Dallas Township’s zoning board, though both companies were approved to install lines tapping into the Transco Interstate Pipeline in Dallas Township. Chief’s pipeline was later acquired by PVR Partners. Nancy Dolan of Luzerne County Citizens for Clean Air said her group is worried about emissions produced by the station, especially because the geography of the Wyoming Valley can hold pollution low to the ground under certain weather conditions. “The communities that are going to be impacted are going to be West Wyoming, Swoyersville, West Pittston,” Dolan said. Harris said the compressor station would not exceed federal Environmental Protection Agency emissions limits, producing a maximum of 50 percent of the EPA limit for nitrogen oxides, 9.5 percent of the limit for carbon monoxide and 18.5 percent of the federal limit for volatile organic compounds. UGI has made efforts to address resident concerns through technology such as air-starters, which reduce emissions compared to gas or electrical starters, she said. But Dolan said emissions from the site could grow once it is permitted. “The trend of compressor stations is, their initial permit is for three engines, and typically that grows, to two, to three, to four, to five times that amount,” Dolan said. “So once you permit something like that operation near communities, they grow. Why would they need 14 acres if they were not planning on growing it?” West Wyoming Council Chairwoman Eileen Cipriani said she and other members of council plan to address the

Stabilizing prices Part of UGI’s proposed 27.5mile Auburn Pipeline extension project, the station would raise pressure in the line allowing gas to enter the nearby Transco Interstate pipeline. A second, 12inch pipeline would also branch away from the 24-inch Auburn line at the compressor station, carrying gas four miles to Wilkes-Barre. There, it would enter the gas distribution network of UGI’s public utility arm and bring Marcellus Shale gas to the local market for the first time. Lillian Harris, manager of regulatory affairs for UGI Energy Services, said the project would eventually reduce gas transportation costs passed on to UGI customers because the gas would travel a shorter distance to their homes. Customers might not see an immediate rate drop because existing transportation contracts with the Transco pipeline would carry over for some time, but the project would have the long-term effect of stabilizing already low natural gas prices, Harris said. “These kinds of projects help keep the cost stable for the customer if not reducing it further,” she said.

board. “We have concerns regarding the emissions and the safety and well-being of our residents and the environment in West Wyoming,” Cipriani said. “And we plan to address those concerns when we attend the meeting of the zoning hearing board.” Cipriani noted UGI has responded at least verbally to some of council’s concerns. In a letter to the company, council said it was concerned about runoff that could result from clear cutting 14 acres of mountainside woodlands. UGI has agreed to put in a retention basin to address that concern, she said. Board’s focus The zoning hearing board might not be able to weigh all testimony at the hearing in its decision, which will hinge upon whether the permit is in accord with the county zoning ordinance. Board member William Harris, who is also Wilkes-Barre’s planning director, said the board will consider testimony on the project’s environmental impact, health-and-safety issues, transportation impact, emergency-response plans and noise pollution. “We take into account every word,” William Harris said. “We take notes. Whether we can use it or not, we take notes. We’re like judges in a way.” Board members Larry Newman, vice president of the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce, and Anthony Palischak, a retired Wyoming Valley West High School teacher, declined to comment on the application before the hearing.

stroyed by fire in the 1930s, and two more were demolished in a previous buyout, leaving 47, he said. Although Evina wants the settlement to stay intact, he understands some residents can’t handle a repeat of September’s record flooding, which brought several feet of water on the first floor of numerous cottages and blew out some foundations. Tom Briggs, who lives with his fiancé in one of the Pulaski Circle properties, feels the absence of mostly elderly neighbors in his small cul-de-sac. “It’s like a ghost town. I hope everyone receives a fair buyout offer,” said Briggs, who has lined up a job in New Jersey when he relocates after the expected buyouts this fall.

Mocanaqua resident Frank Evina stands near one of 47 bungalows that were part of an unusually attractive mining patch town commissioned by the West End Coal Co. Evina lives in one of the homes purchased by his grandparents in 1931 and is saddened many others will be leveled due to upcoming flood buyouts.

‘Double-edged sword’ Luzerne County Planning/Zoning Director Adrian Merolli, who grew up in one of the settlement homes on River Street, said the loss of history from warranted buyouts is a “double-edged sword.” He recalled many summers riding bikes and playing with neighborhood children along Italy Street as adults relaxed and caught up with each other on their front porches. “Many of the people who lived there were either related through blood or marriage. It was a closeknit community,” he said. Evina’s maternal grandparents, Apolonia and John Zandarski, a miner, purchased106 Italy St. from the coal company for $1,500 in 1931. West End Coal had rented out the homes since 1917 and opted to

sell to the families of its miners, who were mostly Eastern European immigrants, Evina said. The Zandarskis raised nine children in their home. The structures had two small bedrooms upstairs, and some families squeezed in more than nine children plus boarders from the mine, he said. Evina’s parents, Henrietta and Frank, inherited the home. An only child, Evina returned to the property to care for his 86-year-old mother, who lives in an assisted living facility. He regularly brings her back to sit on her porch and share memories of her youth. An original lilac bush still survives in the backyard. Evina purchased an arbor replicating the first one above the front gate. The structure had1foot of water on the first floor in September, compared to basement flooding in the prior record 1972 flood.

The cast sympathizes with Tony, who recently abandoned the Jets in favor of a job at a neighborhood store, and with Maria, younger sister of the lead Shark, who notices Tony during a dance in the “neutral territory” of the local gym. “In the moment she doesn’t even realize he’s a Jet,” said Kelly Jesikiewicz, 15, of Mountain Top, who plays Maria. “She’s only seeing him.” Their attraction is immediate, and almost otherworldly, said Justin Mazzella, 21, of Charleston, S.C., who plays Tony. “Look at the words in the script and you’ll see a kind of magic,” he said. “Tony quit the Jets a month ago. He’s been feeling a restless yearning for a month or so. Maria came to town a month ago.” Influenced by Maria, Tony tries to bring peace between the gangs. That doesn’t end well.

OLD FORGE -- It took Delaney Romanchick just 22 hours to lead Bob Horlacher’s 910 Little League softball team into the Eastern Regional final four. After an extra-inning win in relief Saturday against New City/Suffern/Congers (N.Y.), she pitched a complete game one-hitter as Horlacher defeated Chesapeake (Md.) 8-0 HORLACHER on Sunday night. “It feels great,” Romanchick said. “It’s always fun CHESAPEAKE out here when you’re winning and playing you best.” The win assure Horlacher of a spot in Wednesday’s pool crossovers and Thursday’s placement games. “That’s what we rely on,” Horlacher manager Doug Jones said. “We’re small, but we’re fundementally correct. We just find gaps, get runners moving, and make the defense make plays. In the field, the infield has been solid and the outfield gets the ball back in well. We did not have any errors tonight.” No runner passed second base for Chesapeake, thanks to the fine pitching of Romanchick and the defense behind her. The defense was perfect in its 12 chances, even turning a double play to end the fifth inning. After

Johnson wins 4th Brickyard By CHRIS JENKINS AP Sports Writer

INDIANAPOLIS — Jimmie Johnson stamped another exclamation point on his racing resume, winning his fourth career Brickyard 400 with a dominant drive at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Sunday. With the victory, Johnson joined Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jeff Gordon as the only NASCAR drivers to win four times at the historic 2.5-mile track, which has hosted stock car racing since 1994. “Four wins? I’m at a loss for words,” Johnson said in victory lane. Kyle Busch finished second, followed by Greg Biffle, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Gordon. Polesitter Denny Hamlin was sixth. It was a rough day for Matt Kenseth, who came into Sunday’s race with the Sprint Cup Series points lead but was taken out of the race in a late collision with Joey Logano.

When Lochte dove into the water on the anchor leg, he was a half-body length ahead of the field and looking to add another gold to his dominating victory Saturday in the 400 individual medley. Not so fast. Or, should we say, not nearly fast enough.

Yannick Agnel, playing the chaser role that Jason Lezak did for the Americans four years ago in this same event, sliced through the water Vollmer and was right on Lochte’s shoulder as they made the flip at the far end of the pool. With about 25 meters to go, they were stroke for stroke. But Lochte, who had already competed in 1,200 meters of racing over the first two days, simply didn’t have enough left to hold off the towering, 20-year-old Frenchman, one of the sport’s real rising stars. “I gave everything in the last 50 until he cracked,” Agnel said. “In the last10 meters, I saw that he was really cracking.” Agnel touched in 3 minutes, 9.93

seconds, having gone exactly one second faster than Lochte over the last 100 meters. Lochte and the Americans dropped to silver in 3:10.38, while Australia — the favorite — didn’t even get a medal. Russia took the bronze in 3:11.41, edging the team from Down Under by 0.22. “We knew the Australians would be very strong, but they were very nervous, perhaps like us in 2008,” said Clement Lefert, who swam the third leg for the French. “We were very relaxed, like the Americans in 2008. “And four years later,” he added, “we got our revenge.” Phelps settled for his 17th career medal — and first silver — to move a step closer to becoming the most decorated Olympian ever. “At least I’m in a medal today,” See OLYMPICS, Page 7B

Mauritius teammates show contrasts in beach volleyball

But we could play at 4 in the morning, we don’t care.” Li Yuk Lo and Rigobert get their next chance in pool play against Lenka Hajeckova and Hana Klapalova of the Czech Republic after losing their Olympic opener Saturday to the Brazilian team of Juliana Silva and Larissa Franca, 21-5, 21-10.

LONDON — Americans Kerri Walsh Jennings and Misty May-Treanor are unlikely to face a first-time pair from Mauritius in their quest for a third straight beach volleyball gold medal. After all, Elodie Li Yuk Lo and partner Natacha Rigobert might not even get out of pool play. Talk about a contrast in an Olympic beach volleyball tournament that now features a handful of new faces alongside the world’s biggest stars. By the time the reigning Olympic champs hit the sand to face the Czech team of Kristyna Kolocova and Marketa Slukova tonight at picturesque Horse Guards Parade, the team from Mauritius could be in bed.

The victory puts Johnson among some legendary names in the historic track’s record books. Gordon is the only other four-time Brickyard 400 winner. Only three drivers have won four Indianapolis 500s: A.J. Foyt, Al Unser Sr. and Rick Mears; Mears was one of Johnson’s racing heroes growing up. Formula One ace Michael Schumacher won the U.S. Grand Prix five times on Indy’s road course configuration.

But Johnson’s big moment was seen by another disappointing crowd at what still is considered one of the Sprint Cup Series’ most prestigious races. After drawing huge crowds for more than a decade after the first NASCAR race at Indianapolis in 1994, attendance has been sagging in recent years. The frontstretch stands were fairly full but there were sparse crowds in the turns. Jeff Burton’s flat tire brought out a caution with 36 laps to go, giving the leaders an opportunity to make their final pit stops. Johnson, Brad Keselowski, Gordon and Busch all took four tires

The race restarted with 31 laps to go, with Biffle taking the lead and Johnson fighting off Busch to hold on to second. Biffle’s lead didn’t last long, as Johnson went around him on the front stretch with 29 laps to go. Joey Logano then spun and collected Kenseth, leaving his car banged-up and smoldering. Kenseth was OK — but his points lead was gone. “Everybody was just running everybody in the back, and you could see it was just a matter of time before the wreck happened,”

SWB Yanks stumble in Pawtucket The Times Leader Staff

PAWTUCKET, R.I. – It was a rough weekend for Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre, after Saturday night’s game against Pawtucket was postponed due to heavy rain the Yankees lost to the Red Sox 4-0 on Sunday afternoon at McCoy Stadium. Defense kept the Yankees (6048) in the game against the Red Sox in the first two innings, but a Jason Repko home run in the bottom of the third put Pawtucket up 1-0. Two innings later Che-Hsuan Lin singled to reach first and then took third after a Jose Iglesias single. Ryan Lavarnway doubled to advance Iglesias to third and bring in Hsuan-Lin to give the Red Sox the 2-0 lead. Lars Anderson hit a sacrifice fly, scoring Iglesias to make it a 3-0 game. The Red Sox put the final nail in the Yankees coffin in the eighth inning with an Andy LaRoche solo home run. The Yankees will host the Red Sox at Rochester Field in New York for a two-game series beginning tonight at 7:05 p.m. Yankees

Plenty of critics for NBC

Radcliffe is out of marathon

A foot injury has caused the distance running star to pull out of the Olympics.

Viewers are using social media to express their displeasure with network.

By ROB HARRIS AP Sports Writer

LONDON — Paula Radcliffe’s hopes of finally winning an Olympic medal are over. A foot injury forced one of the greatest female distance runners to withdraw from the London Games on Sunday. It was the latest — and possibly most frustrating — setback in a long list of Olympic disappointments. The 38-yearold Briton Radcliffe holds the marathon world record but has failed to win a medal in four previous games. In London, she won’t even make it to the starting line. A lingering left foot injury flared up during training the past month. “I have been through the mill emotionally and physically the past three weeks, cried more tears than ever, vented more frustration and at the same time calmly tried every direction and avenue available to heal myself,” Radcliffe said in a statement. “As desperate as I was to be part of the amazing experience of the London Olympics, I don’t want to be there below my best.” Radcliffe failed to finish the 2004 Athens Olympics marathon and was 23rd in Beijing four years later after deciding to race while still recovering from a stress fracture in her thigh. She finished fourth in the 10,000 meters in Sydney in 2000 and was fifth in the 5,000 in Atlanta. “It is important that we don’t look at Paula’s career in Olympic cycles,” Britain head coach Charles van Commenee said. “When we look back at her career it should be in the context of what she has achieved and not what she hasn’t.” She is a three-time winner of the London Marathon, and had hoped for one more big victory in the British capital.

Casey Eichfeld of the United States competes in the heats of the C-1 men’s canoe slalom at Lee Valley Whitewater Center at the 2012 Summer Olympics on Sunday in London.

Tough start for Eichfeld, Selenski The Times Leader staff

Sunday ended up being a frustrating day for both of the athletes from Luzerne County competing in the London Olympics. In the first day of the C-1 canoe competition, Casey Eichfeld, of Drums, was unable to advance past the heats. In the field hockey competition, Paige Selenski, of Dallas, played in Team USA’s 2-1 loss to Germany. Eichfeld finished 14th with a first run time of 97.04 on Day 1 of slalom racing at the London 2012 Games. He was not able to improve on his time in his second run. The fastest of the two runs for each athlete counts and the top 12 advanced to Tuesday’s semifinal. His first run time included a close two-second touch penalty on Gate 13. Without the penalty, his time would have been good enough fo 10th overall. “I don’t think that it was my best paddling, but I went out there with a plan in mind and raced my hardest,” Eichfeld said. “It wasn’t exactly what I wanted ... but I don’t have any regrets. I went out there and paddled as hard as I could.” Selenski had the best scoring chance for the Americans in the first half, gaining possession at the circle on the left wing and driving toward the center of

US men open by beating Serbia By ANNE M. PETERSON AP Sports Writer

LONDON — The defending champion U.S. men’s volleyball team opened Olympic play Sunday by sweeping Serbia behind Matt Anderson’s 18 points. Captain Clay Stanley added 13 points in the 25-17, 25-22, 25-21 victory at Earls Court. The Americans are not considered a favorite in London despite a silver-medal finish in the recent FIVB World League tournament. But they were formidable against Serbia, which won the Olympic gold in Sydney in 2000 and finished fifth in Beijing in 2008. Marko Podrascanin had 13 points, including two aces, for the Serbians. “It was a good match. We fought hard and won in three straight, which is pretty much exactly what our game plan was to do,” Anderson said. “We wanted to serve tough and put a lot of pressure on them, and I think we executed that pretty well.” Four years ago, the U.S. men went undeAP PHOTOS feated in Beijing, upsetting Brazil in the fiThe United States’ Matthew Anderson, left, nal.

NEW YORK — In the age of social media, NBC now has millions of television critics who make their opinions known about every aspect of Olympics coverage instantly. They’ve even set up their own hashtag on Twitter: (hash) nbcfail. The online complaints focused Saturday on NBC’s decision to air the marquee swimming event won by American Ryan Lochte on tape delay in prime time, and Friday on the network not streaming the opening ceremony online. Sunday’s critics started early: people wondering why the U.S. men’s basketball team’s opening game aired on a cable network while women’s cycling was shown on NBC. The conversation is so active that NBC’s executive producer of the games, Jim Bell, took to Twitter to answer critics and even change the way NBC is doing something in response. “(hash)nbcfail is filled with a lot of crying and snark and humor, but NBC can actually learn something from it,” said Jeff Jarvis, a media critic who writes the Buzzmachine.com blog. Complaints about tape delayed coverage are an evergreen with Olympics held on foreign soil. But the London Games are the first with Twitter, Facebook and other social media sites in full flower, in a mobile phone era where people carry computers that instantly deliver news in their pockets. It has amplified the impatience of viewers who want to see events on their largescreen TVs instantly and haven’t been mollified by NBC’s decision to stream the events live online. James Poniewozik, Time magazine TV critic, tweeted that “NBC tape delay coverage is like the airlines: its interest is in giving you the least satisfactory service you will still come back for.” That drew a quick response from NBC’s Bell: “You do know that all sports events are being streamed live right?” “I do, indeed!” replied Poniewozik. “Have enjoyed it. Apparently a lot of folks still prefer watching it on TV.” NBC says it saves big events for prime-time airing because that is when most viewers are available to watch them and where the network makes the bulk of its advertising revenue. Since prime time on the U.S. East Coast coincides with 1 a.m. London time, there are no events to air live then. NBC representatives noted that there were 39 hours of live events Sunday on NBC and its affiliated networks. Jonathan Wald, who produces Piers Morgan’s CNN talk show and used to work at NBC, tweeted that “the medal for most Olympic whining goes to everyone who complains about what happens every four years. Tape delay.” One of those complainers, in fact, was Morgan: He tweeted his disdain Friday for NBC’s decision not to make the opening ceremony available live.

American woman sets new gold standard

Kimberly Rhode won the gold medal in women’s skeet shooting Sunday, making her the first American to take an individualsport medal in five consecutive Olympics. Rhode won a gold medal in double trap at Atlanta as a teenager in 1996, took bronze in that event four years later at Sydney, re-claimed the gold at Athens in 2004 and won the silver in skeet at Beijing in 2008. She set an Olympic record in qualifying, missing only one of her 75 shots.

LONDON — The hiccups outnumbered the highlights, and for a while the U.S. racked up fouls faster than points. The opener wasn’t artistic. However,itwasenough—easilyenough. Kevin Durant scored 22 points in his Olympic debut, Kevin Love added 14 and LeBronJameshadeightassistsastheAmerican men’s basketball team overcame some sloppy moments with a 98-71 win Sunday over France. “We know everybody else expects us to win by 40 points,” said Carmelo Anthony. “For us, a win’s a win. We expect every game to be like this one.” Seeking a second straight gold medal to match the redemptive one they captured in Beijing four years ago, the Americans expected a tough test from a French team featuring San Antonio guard Tony Parker and five other NBA players. And although the U.S. was never in real trouble — it only led 22-21 after one quarter — there were enough flaws (14 turnovers, 26 fouls) to keep coach Mike Krzyzewski and his staff

We had too vs. Tunisia many turnovers, too 5:15 p.m., many fouls and we had Tuesday a couple of defensive TV: NBCSN rebounds we could have come up with. But overall, we played a pretty good game for as close to 40 minutes as possible.” KobeBryanthadsaidthisteamcouldbeat the1992 Dream Team that changed international hoops forever at the Barcelona Games. That matchup is mythical, but the LondonGamesaren’tandthisU.S.teamwill have to play much better in upcoming games if it plans to maintain American dominance. “We know we have to keep going for 40 minutes and play hard,” said Bryant, who only played 12 minutes. Afterward, Parker, who nearly missed these games after undergoing surgery for a freak eye injury, didn’t want to concede anything to the Americans. But when asked if

the U.S. team can be beat, he took a contemplative pause before responding. “They’re going to be very, very tough to beat,” Parker said. At times, the Americans’ offense was erratic. The U.S missed its first six 3-pointers and settled too quickly for jump shots instead of driving to the basket. But France wasn’t able to capitalize as the U.S. turned up its pressure on defense and forced 18 turnovers. With first lady Michelle Obama on hand to cheer on the U.S., Durant, Anthony and Tyson Chandler added nine rebounds apiece for the Americans, who will next play TuesdayagainstTunisia,beaten60-56byNigeria in the tournament opener. As they left the floor, the U.S. players stopped to hug Mrs. Obama, who can report back to her commander in chief husband that his favorite team has taken its first step toward gold. Parker, playing with goggles to protect a surgically repaired left eye, scored10 points but France fell to 0-5 in Olympic competition against the USA. Ali Traore scored 12 points to lead France, which got few uncontested looks from the outside and missed 20 of 22 3-pointers. “They pressured us from the start until the end,” France coach Vincent Collet. With the U.S. leading 52-36 at halftime, Durant opened the second half with a 3-

WEIGHT LIFTING

North Korean lifts 3 times body weight

North Korea’s Om Yun Chol on Sunday joined an exclusive group of weightlifters who have lifted three times their body weight in the clean and jerk. And according to Om, it was all thanks to the “Great Leader.” The 5-foot Om also set an Olympic record when he cleared 168 kilograms in the clean and jerk in the men’s 56-kilogram category — and immediately gave all the credit to former North Korean leader Kim Jong Il. “How can any man possibly lift 168kg? I believe the great Kim Jong Il looked over me,” Om said, according to the internal news agency at the London Games. Om’s achievement was even more impressive considering he was competing in the “B” group with lower-ranked lifters. Medal contenders generally compete in the “A” group scheduled for later Sunday. Om, who said he wanted to lift a big weight to make his opponents nervous, must now wait to see if any lifters in the “A” can match his 293-kilogram total. Only a handful of lifters have cleared three times their body weight before, including Halil Mutlu and Naim Suleymanoglu of Turkey. “I am very happy and give thanks to our Great Leader for giving me the strength to lift this weight,” Om said. “I believe Kim Jong Il gave me the record and all my achievements. It is all because of him.” CYCLING

Dutch rider wins gold

Marianne Vos of the Netherlands won the gold medal in the women’s road race, holding off Britain’s Elizabeth Armitstead in a sprint finish on The Mall. The former world champion made a daring move past Russia’s Olga Zabelinskaya over rain-slicked roads Sunday to emerge from the three-rider breakaway on the straightaway from Buckingham Palace. Armitstead wound up with silver, Britain’s first medal of the London Olympics. The former track cycling star came through under immense pressure from a nation gripped by cycling following Bradley Wiggins’ Tour de France triumph. Armitstead also managed to deliver the podium finish that eluded Mark Cavendish and her men’s teammates the previous day. -- The Associated Press

GLASGOW, Scotland — U.S. goaltender Hope Solo went on a Twitter rant against former player Brandi Chastain on Saturday for comments made during the broadcast of the Americans’ 3-0 win over Colombia at the Olympics. Solo was apparently unhappy with UP NEXT Chastain’s Team USA criticism of vs. U.S. defender North Korea Rachel Bueh12:15 p.m. ler during the Tuesday NBC telecast. TV: NBCSN At one point, Chastain pointed out that a defender’s responsibilities are: “Defend. Win the ball. And then keep possession. And that’s something that Rachel Buehler actually needs to, I think, improve on in this tournament.” After the game, Solo rattled off four tweets about Chastain. Among them: “Its 2 bad we cant have commentators who better represents the team&knows more about the game.” Solo also told Chastain to “lay off commentating about defending” and goalkeeping “until you get more educated” and “the game has changed from a decade ago.” “I feel bad 4 our fans that have 2 push mute,” tweeted Solo, adding that she likes NBC soccer announcer Arlo White. Chastain is one of the top alltime defenders for the U.S. team. She played in 192 international games from 1988-2004 and is best known for taking off her jersey to celebrate the decisive penalty kick in the landmark shootout victory over China in the World Cup final at the Rose Bowl in 1999. A spokesman for NBC said the network would have no comment and that Chastain was unavailable for comment. A spokesman for the U.S. team also declined comment and said Solo would address the matter the next time she meets with reporters. He said Solo would not be made available Sunday. Solo is one of the most outspoken players on the U.S. team. She was essentially kicked off the squad at the 2007 World Cup and sent home from China separately from the rest of the players after she criticized coach Greg Ryan for benching her for the semifinals.

Mountain Top falls to 0-2 in regional

The Times Leader staff

WORECESTER, Mass. – Maryland scored an unearned run in the bottom of the seventh inning to defeat Mountain Top Sunday in the Eastern Regional Senior Little League softball tournament, dropping Mountain Top to 0-2. Ashley Casem and Kelsey Rinehamer combined for a strong effort on the mound for Mountain Top. Casem started and pitched four innings of two-hit ball, while Rinehamer pitched the final 2 2/3 innings, allowing just three hits. However, Mountain Top allowed four unearned runs which proved fatal. Offensively, Mountain Top was led by Juliet Wotherspoon with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored and Maddy O’Donohue with three hits. Mountain Top plays New York Monday at 10 a.m.

made it significant is that he did it with the starters in the game, and showed Pittsburgh thought very highly of Brown as a playmaker. Which is exactly what Brown developed into over the season. This year, keep an eye on Peyton Manning in Denver. Oh, Manning will be fine, but it’s who he throws to that you want to see. Does he target Demaryius Thomas more, or Eric Decker? How does TE Jacob Tamme fit in? Someone will emerge as a fantasy star in Denver and you want a clue as to who. Also watch the RB situations in Cleveland and Kansas City. Trent Richardson will be the guy for the Browns, but how GOOD will he be. There’s a lot of fantasy buzz around him, and some are predicting top 5 RB status for the rookie. That’s

probably wishful thinking, but if he runs wild with a couple two, three TDs, you might want to move him up a bit in your rankings. In K.C., Jamaal Charles is returning from a torn ACL, and the Chiefs signed bruising TD machine Peyton Hillis as his backup. What you want to look for is how Hillis is used. If they take it easy with Charles and Hillis gets significantly more carries and the goal line work, then Hillis may become the more valuable RB.

nia champions got three singles to open the third inning, leading to their first run. Faith Jones and Erin Dunn had hits ahead of Hope Jones’ bunt. Five more hits in the fourth broke it open. Kasi Kool started things with a single to left. “Our sub, Kasi Kool, came in and started that inning off with a nice hit,” Doug Jones said. “It’s been a team effort all year. Sometimes it’s the top of the order, other times the bottom. Everyone is contributing.” Sunday, seven Horlacher players had hits. Makayla Quick, Hope Jones, Sara Kuderka and Jena Simmons added singles, the last three also driving in runs as Horlacher’s lead grew to 6-0.

teaching and began the countdown to London. These two are making history for Mauritius — as the first Olympic beach volleyball players from the tiny East African island nation. They are enjoying the moment, high-fiving at every opportunity during practice and between points. Word from supporters back home is that they’re gaining popularity in the media and in ads now that the Olympics have begun. Rigobert’s husband, professor of sports psychology Thierry Long, is coaching them during this special run. Mariusz Prudel and Grzegorz Fijalek of Poland also are making their country’s debut in a sport long dominated by just a few countries, like Australia, Brazil and the United States. The Polish team also will play for the second time during Monday’s schedule. While beach volleyball is a huge hit and one of the most popular and sexy Olympic competitions, it is still relatively new on the program since becoming a medal sport at the 1996 Atlanta Games. Still, the Olympic rookies realize they play a part in educating those back home and elsewhere. “It’s amazing. We’re just so happy to be here as the first team ever in our history from Mauritius,” Rigobert said. “It’s even more fantastic that it’s beach volleyball because our island is surrounded by beautiful beaches. We hope this will bring the sport up in our country and in Africa.” On the men’s side, Prudel and his partner dropped their first match to Latvia12-21, 21-15,15-12, and will play again tonight against the No. 2 U.S. pair of Jake Gibb and Sean Rosenthal. During the final practice day, Prudel — with a goatee, long sideburns and his sandy blond hair pulled into in a ponytail — patiently waited to receive his name-brand shades — with choice of color and lenses. He is soaking up everything about the Olympics, and what a treat to be playing in a venue smack in the middle of London’s most majestic landmarks. “It’s the first time for Poland in the Olympics, so it’s a very big experience for everyone,” Prudel said. “We will see how we play. I hope there will be a good celebration afterward. I think we can do something special. To be where we are and playing good, it’s a celebration already.” It’s unusual for a new country to break through at the Olympic level, but now qualifying isn’t based only on rankings from major events. International Volleyball Federation director Angelo Squeo, for one, finds it refreshing to see new faces. “It’s a long journey to come to the Olympics,” said Mauritius coach Long, who teaches at the University of Nice. “From a sport point of view, it’s a dream. From a more private point of view, it’s more difficult. They give a lot to their country. I think it’s unbalanced compared to what it gives to them. This was their dream. They realized it, and they did what they needed to do to realize it.” Financial support is tough to come by, so Li Yuk Lo and Rigobert are limited to five top-tier international tournaments a year because they don’t have sponsors or the means to regularly fly across the world. They’re appreciative they received new uniforms from Nike, then were gifted even more gear — backpacks, hats, shirts, a pair of shoes and sandals — from the sportswear giant. They will make a point of traveling home to Mauritius after the Olympics for what should be quite the welcoming reception no matter their results. Both women were born in Mauritius, in the Indian Ocean east of Madagascar and southeast of the Seychelles, but grew up elsewhere. Still, from their rare visits home, they realize how much it means to the country to watch them on the world stage. “We feel honored to be able to represent Mauritius in a sport that’s relatively new,” Li Yuk Lo said. “There weren’t any other beach volleyball teams on the international tour before, so we were happy to represent the country.”

Phelpssaidruefully,referringtoa fourth-place finish in his first race of the London Games. But silver was a bitter disappointment for the Americans, who know how the French felt four years ago. France had the lead in Beijing and its best sprinter, Alain Bernard, going out on the final leg. But Lezak swam the fastest relay leg in history, drafting Bernard along the lane rope and beating him by a scant 0.08 seconds to keep Phelps on track for his record eight gold medals. That was one of the greatest races in Olympic history. This one wasn’t too shabby, either. “I was just really excited and I think I overswam the first 50 and it hurt me for the last 50,” Lochte said. “But we were able to get a medal, so I guess that’s good.” Lochte hung on the side of the wall, his head dropping toward the water — a much different reaction than he had the night before when he blew out the field in

Phelps put up the fastest time among the American swimmers, covering the second 100 in 47.15 and showing he still intends to be a force at these games after his disappointing start. Nathan Adrian swam the leadoff leg in

Lochte was handed a lead of more than a half-second, but he couldn’t hold it. Agnel covered the final leg in 46.74, while Lochte labored home in 47.74. Agnel’s anchor wasn’t quite as spectacular as Lezak’s 46.06 at Beijing, but the French had no complaints. Two more world records fell earlier in the evening.
