UGI presents plans for West Wyoming facility

WILKES-BARRE -- UGI Energy Services Inc.’s testimony before the Luzerne County Zoning Hearing Board on Tuesday night indicated West Wyoming residents will hardly notice a natural gas compressor station the company wants to build in the borough.

They won’t be able to see or hear it from the nearby thoroughfares, and the emissions will have little to no impact on public health, they said. But the room was packed with residents of West Wyoming and neighboring Kingston Township who turned out for a hearing on UGI’s application to show they have noticed, and they don’t

want the station near their homes. Testimony on the application continued for more than three hours and had not concluded by press deadline. UGI Energy Services is seeking to build the compressor station containing three natural-gas fueled compressors, natural gas meters, storage tanks, a radio transmission tower, an odorant

Council members have been bogged down in the first seven months of the new home rule government with cumbersome but necessary McClosky Houck procedural work, including creation of a public interview process to fill vacancies on outside boards and authorities and revision of the new personnel, ethics and administrative codes, Bobeck said.

Madry suit partly settled for $500,000 Suit filed by parents of Brian Madry, who was killed in crash in July 2011. By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A lawsuit filed nine months ago by the family of a 16year-old killed in a fiery car crash in July 2011 has been partially settled for more than one-half million dollars. Carolyn and Daniel Madry, parents of the late Brian Madry, filed the suit in November against: the driver of the vehicle,

now-17-year-old Adam Fredmund; Kenneth Rushinski, 22, of Luzerne, who has been charged with supplying alcohol to the teens; and the Glen Summit Co. that owns Fountain Lake, where the teens were drinking. Fairview Township police and county detectives said Fredmund had been drinking alcohol at a party before crashing a 2004 Kia Optima on Lake Road, an isolated road in the Glen Summit section of Fairview Township, early in the morning on July 18.

A smaller, 12-inch pipeline would branch away from the 24inch Auburn line at the compressor station and carry gas to the distribution network of UGI’s public utility arm. The company needs a special exception from the board for the

building and associated equipment on a 14-acre plot of land in an A1 agricultural district off Fire Cut Road. The station is part of UGI’s proposed 27.5-mile Auburn Pipeline extension project, which will link the Tennessee pipeline in Susquehanna County to the Transco interstate pipeline in Luzerne County.

WEST PITTSTON

Council fires, replaces code officer Officials also working to avoid probation under National Flood Insurance. By AMANDA MYRKALO Times Leader Correspondent

WEST PITTSTON – Borough council on Tuesday voted to fire its code enforcement officer, hired a borough native to replace him and promised residents access to a report on the borough’s progress in avoiding a probationary status in the National Flood Insurance Program. Several residents complained about decrepit properties and zoning officer Dominick Pepe. Council President Barry Hosier repeated throughout the meeting that certain issues were not a council matter. Continually, Ho-

sier said, “We will address it with our zoning officer.” Near the end of the meeting, council went into a closed-door session. It came out to announce Pepe was to be terminated and replaced by William O’Donnell, who has experience as a flood plain manager and is a qualified inspector. O’Donnell was raised in West Pittston, moved away and returned. The public response was: “When does he start?” According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Corrective Action Progress Report, O’Donnell begins his new position today. Borough officials were told at the beginning of July that the borough would be placed on probation Oct. 1 and its residents would face a $50 increase in flood insurance premiums if pro-

Shickshinny to get monthly work reports from officers By TOM HUNTINGTON Times Leader Correspondent

SHICKSHINNY – In response to what he said were public complaints about the police, Councilman Barry Noss was successful Tuesday night in getting approval for a motion requiring the borough’s two officers to submit monthly reports on their work to council. Over objections by Mayor Beverly Moore, Noss said, “We want to see who’s doing what.” Moore, however, argued that an all-encompassing report that is currently being submitted to council is sufficient. But Noss said, “We want to know what each officer is doing.” Noss wasn’t specific about the nature of the complaints but insisted on detailed reports. His motion passed 5-0. Rick Harmon, zoning and codes enforcement officer, announced that five citations have been filed before District Judge John Hasay against residents who he said have failed to comply with residential buyout regulations set down by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. He said the citations follow on the heels of 12 warning letters mailed to buyout clients who have been trying to enter their former houses in violation of FEMA rules.

Marvin Hamlisch dies after illness By MARK KENNEDY AP Drama Writer

NEW YORK — Marvin Hamlisch was blessed with perfect pitch and an infallible ear. “I heard sounds that other children didn’t hear,” he wrote in his autobiography. He turned that skill into writing and arranging compulsively memorable songs that the world was unable to stop humming — from the mournful “The Way We Were” to the jaunty theme from “The Sting.” Prolific and seeming without boundaries, Hamlisch, who died at 68 after a short illness, composed music for film heroes from James Bond and Woody Allen, for powerful singers such as Liza Minnelli and Aretha Franklin, and high-kicking dancers of the Tony-winning “A Chorus Line.” To borrow one of his song titles, nobody did it better. “He was a true musical genius, but above all that, he was a beautiful human being. I will truly miss him,” said Barbra Streisand, who first met the composer in 1963 and sang his “The Way We Were” to a Grammy win in 1974. Hamlisch collapsed and died Monday in Los Angeles after a brief illness, his publicist Ken Sunshine said, citing the family. Other details were not released.

Harmon also told council First Keystone Community Bank of Berwick has taken steps to solicit bids for the razing of the former Hasay auto dealership building. Bank officials have stated they plan to erect a new branch office at the site. In other business: • Moore announced that, with state approval, bids will be sought for the construction of a boat ramp at Crary Park. • Repairs to the elevator in the municipal building were ap-

proved under a contract of $30,100 with the Port Elevator Company of Williamsport. • Council President Rosalie Whitebread said street department personnel have reported the theft of two manhole covers. Whitebread said it is suspected the covers are being sold as scrap metal. • Council approved a flood plain management ordinance and enacted a land agreement with First Keystone Bank. • Whitebread said that an executive session, which delayed

the start of the regular meeting, involved a developing civil litigation matter. Whitebread would make no other comment about the case.

William “Nik” Allen, 57, of Springbrook Township, passed away Thursday, August 2, 2012, at Scranton Health Care Center,

Scranton. He was born in Moosic on May 5, 1955, son of Mary “Pluso” Allen and the late William “Bunker” Allen. Nik was a member of Queen Of The Apostles Church, Avoca. He attended St. Mary’s Parochial School. He was a graduate of Riverside High School and attended Kutztown University. Prior to its closing, Nik was a 30year employee of the Techneglass Corp. Locally, Nik was well known as a self-taught Blues harmonica player. He played in several local bands and was well respected by other musicians. He was impressively versed in all styles of music. He possessed an enormous catalog of a variety of music, ranging from classical to avantgarde Jazz to obscure blues to rock and roll. A musical savant, he could tell you who played on any album from Sonny Boy Williamson, Rahsaan Roland Kirk to new musicians and up and coming stars. Music was virtually a part of his pulse and life blood -- it fueled him in remarkable ways and was the central means through which he connected to others and made his life meaningful. Nik loved the game of baseball and was a huge Chicago Cubs fan. He was very involved in the lives of

his children and enjoyed his role as a baseball coach. In sum, Nik Allen was an extraordinary person. The kind and gentle nature of his spirit will live on in the memories of those who knew and loved him. Even in the briefest of encounters, Nik made an impression as a man of quiet and subtle humor, as highly personable and as someone who lived surrounded and held by a family and large friendship circle who adored him. In addition to his mother, Nik is survived by his children, Ian Allen of Fort Drum, N.Y.; Linsey Allen of Los Angeles, Calif.; Brooke Allen, of Duryea; his stepson, Nathan Cartwright of Los Angeles Calif.; and stepdaughter, Taylor Trombly of Duryea; brothers, Al, of Nashville Tenn.; Frank, of Fort Myers Fla.; sisters, Carol Geron of Scarsdale, N.Y.; Lynn Nordin of Dals Langed, Sweden; many nieces and nephews. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held Saturday at 10 a.m. at Queen of The Apostles Church, 715 Hawthorne St. Avoca, with Father Phillip Sladicka officiating. Friends may call for visitation Friday evening from 5 to 8 p.m. at Kiesinger Funeral Services Inc., 255 McAlpine St., Duryea. Family and friends are asked to go directly to church on Saturday; there will be no procession from funeral home to church. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Brooke Allen Educational Trust Fund, 72 Glenmaura National Blvd., Suite 104, Moosic, PA 18507, c/o Law Office of Cynthia Banks.

Selenski trial date in doubt Lawyers dispute judge’s rulings

By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – An appeal of a judge’s rulings made last week in the double-murder case against Hugo Selenski could delay the scheduled Sept. 10 start of a trial. Selenski’s attorneys, Shelley Centini and Edward Rymsza, filed the one-page appeal to the state Superior Court on Tuesday. The appeal applies to rulings Judge Fred Pierantoni made on Aug. 3, including that prosecutors may continue seeking the death penalty and charges against Selenski would not be dismissed.

Selenski, 38, is facing a potential death penalty if convicted in the deaths of Tammy FasSelenski sett and Michael Kerkowski, both of whom were 37 when they died. Investigators allege Selenski killed Fassett and Kerkowski on May 3, 2002. Their bodies were unearthed on the property where Selenski lived in Kingston Township in June 2003. It is possible the appeal might delay the Sept. 10 trial

timely prosecution. The attorneys had said the charges should be thrown out because more than six years have passed since they were filed and prosecutors have not shown or established enough proof to bring a capital case against Selenski. Pierantoni granted the defense’s request to not admit some photos at the trial and to prevent prosecutors from mentioning the discovery of other skeletal remains, other than Kerkowski’s and Fassett’s, allegedly found on property where Selenski lived.

based on the history of the case. The high court must hear arguments and make a ruling, which is likely to exceed the September trial date. Centini and Rymsza will be required to file reasons for their appeal in the next few days. Pierantoni on Tuesday signed an order returning several items of evidence to Selenski, including a Penn State baseball hat, birth certificate and a baby picture of Selenski. Last week, Pierantoni denied a number of requests made by Selenski’s attorneys, Sheena Delazio, a Times Leader including to dismiss the staff writer, may be reached at charges based on the lack of 829-7235.

Lee to face homicide charge in adult court Lee was 16 when he allegedly shot and killed his great-grandfather. By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A Luzerne County judge has ruled the homicide case of a teen charged in the December 2009 shooting death of his greatgrandfather will be tried in adult court. Judge Joseph Sklarosky Jr. denied the request of attorneys for Cody Lee, 19, to have their client’s case transferred to juvenile court because Cody Lee Lee was 16 years old when he allegedly shot and killed 80year-old Herbert Lee. “We have thoroughly reviewed the evidence and arguments … We note that Lee is presumed innocent, is denied no defense and enjoys all of the due process safeguards in the criminal court setting,” Sklarosky wrote. “We believe that his case is inappropriate for juvenile court.” Sklarosky’s ruling came this week after five days of testimony in July regarding the defense attorneys’ request. It is possible that attorneys Peter Paul Olszewski, Melissa Scartelli and Charles Rado may appeal. Attorneys are prevented from commenting on the case due to a courtimposed gag order. Lee will now have a preliminary See LEE, Page 7A

ILKES-BARRE – Calling it one of the most important projects to the future success of the city, Mayor Tom Leighton on Tuesday said the $14 million Coal Street widening project is nearing completion and all five lanes will be open to traffic by mid-September. “For many months, residents and visitors to Wilkes-Barre have witnessed this future taking shape as the new Coal Street has slowly emerged,” Leighton said. “This expanded roadway will improve the gateway from Interstate 81 into the city.” Leighton said the wider, improved Coal Street will create jobs and increase city tax revenue as more people will find it easier to get into the city.

Man charged in shooting By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

ASHLEY – A member of the Long Island Boys street gang charged by the state Office of Attorney General in October 2008 with peddling heroin in the Wyoming Valley was arraigned Tuesday for his alleged role in a shooting outside a tavern last week. Travis Humphrey, 24, known as “GT” and “Soup,” was charged with two counts of criminal conspiracy to commit aggravated assault and one count each of conspiracy to commit simple assault and conspiracy to commit reckless endangerment. He was arraigned by District Judge Joseph Halesey in Hanover Township and jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $10,000 bail. Ashley police allege Humphrey, who listed addresses at Queens, N.Y., and Mark Drive in Marion Terrace apartments, Hanover Township, conspired with Sean James McPhail in shooting Shawn Reilly, 31, Ashley, outside the Pour House tavern on North Main Street on July 30. Humphrey was identified by

witnesses and a picture taken by a woman’s cellphone, police said. An arrest warrant was issued for Humphrey McPhail on Monday charging him with aggravated assault, simple assault, reckless endangerment, possession of a weapon and criminal conspiracy. McPhail, last known address as 709 Hanover Village apartments, Hanover Township, has not been arraigned. Luzerne County Court records say McPhail was sentenced May 17, 2012 to six months probation on charges he provided false information after Nanticoke police stopped him for discarding marijuana bags on South Hanover Street on July 1, 2011. Humphrey was sentenced in October 2009 to two years in the county’s special probation program for his role in Operation Heavyweight, an investigation that busted a heroin trafficking ring from Long Island, N.Y., to the Sherman Hills apartment

complex in Wilkes-Barre, according to court records and the Attorney General’s Office. At the time of Humphrey’s arrest in October 2008, he was identified by the Attorney General’s Office as a member of the Long Island Boys. According to the criminal complaint on the shooting: Two women celebrating a friend’s 30th birthday in the Pour House told police Humphrey and McPhail bought them drinks and played pool with them. As the bartender announced last call, Humphrey and McPhail left. After leaving, the two women saw the shorter black male, identified as McPhail, shoot Reilly in the torso in a rear parking lot, the complaint says. Police allege Humphrey and McPhail then drove away in separate vehicles. Reilly was treated at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center, Plains Township. Police said Reilly stated he exchanged small talk with two black men when he heard one of them say, “Pop him,” before he was shot, the complaint states.

DALLAS TWP. – The former Castle Inn has been sold to the Triangle 24 Hour Club Inc. and will serve as meeting space for recovering alcoholics, addicts and their families. According to county property records, the historical landmark located on state Route 415 was sold July 26 to the nonprofit recovery group for $307,000. Nick Colangelo, a Triangle 24 Hour Club Inc. board member and chief executive officer at Clearbrook Treatment Centers, said the group has been holding meetings in Dallas Township at the former Dallas Nursery near Back Mountain Bowl since 2006. “We’re outgrowing it and our rent has been escalating,” he said. “We’ve been looking for a piece of property up and down the highway, something with more room for expansion and ownership.” Colangelo said the Triangle 24 Hour Club is a group of businessmen that formed to help

those dealing with addiction. The group plans to use the space solely for meetings. Colangelo said the group did not purchase the liquor license and it plans to remove the kitchen during renovations. “It will basically be about three meeting rooms, and we’ll provide meetings the same way we do at the clubhouse we rent now,” said Colangelo. “There will be more parking, and we’ll be more out of the way. Where we’re at now, we use the podia-

trist’s parking lot because we have grown so much.” Colangelo hopes the project will be completed by September. The land for the Castle Inn was purchased by Elizabeth Huntzinger, a dressmaker from Wilkes-Barre, in 1925, and the building was constructed in 1927. Valgarour Omar Hallson, an Icelandic chef who became an American citizen in 2005, had owned the inn since 1992.

WASHINGTON — Republican Mitt Romney is making a new push to cast President Barack Obama as a big government liberal, accusing him of dismantling welfare reform, while Democrats renew efforts to paint Romney as a profit-driven businessman. The Romney campaign released a new television ad Tuesday bashing Obama for removing work requirements from federal welfare regulations, a key element of President Bill Clinton’s 1996 welfare

overhaul. The ad contends that Obama simply wants to hand out welfare checks, while Romney would restore the work requirement. The White House says Obama’s decision last month to change welfare requirements

gives states the flexibility they have been asking for to make the program more efficient. Romney was among several Republican governors who signed a letter in 2005 asking for more “waiver authority.” Romney is a former Massachusetts governor.

The Romney campaign sees Obama’s move as an opportunity to argue that the president is a liberal who wants to give the poor a free pass at the expense of the middle class. The welfare push also aims to drive a wedge between Obama and Clinton, who has taken on an increasingly prominent role in the president’s re-election bid. The Obama campaign, seeking to take advantage of Clinton’s popularity and strong economic record while in office, gave Clinton a highprofile, prime-time speaking role at the Democratic convention in early September.

Food stamp cuts delayed

ongressional stalemate over a sweeping farm bill has set back the C clock on impending budget cuts that

had worried states and safety net advocates around the country. With Congress on its August recess and little sign of a breakthrough on the farm bill in the near future, it’s increasingly likely that deep spending reductions contained in the measure will be put off for at least six months, and maybe even a year. Among the programs covered under farm legislation is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly referred to as SNAP, or food stamps. Both the House and Senate were poised to deliver deep cuts to the program: The Senate, which passed a farm bill in rare bipartisan fashion earlier this summer, sought to deliver about $4.5 billion in cuts to food stamps. The House version of the bill is much more draconian. It looks to cut more than $16 billion.

Giffords shooter owns up

Jared Lee Loughner pleaded guilty Tuesday to going on a shooting rampage at a political gathering, killing six people and wounding 13 others, including his intended target, then-Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. Loughner’s plea spares him the death penalty and came soon after a federal judge found that months of forcibly medicating him to treat his schizophrenia had made the 23-year-old college dropout competent. He faces life without parole. Judge Larry A. Burns asked Loughner if he understood the charges against him and what the government would need to convict him. “Yes, I understand,” Loughner replied.

Refinery up in flames

A fire at one of the nation’s largest refineries spewed thick black smoke over cities in the San Francisco Bay area, sending scores of residents to hospitals complaining of breathing problems early Tuesday. Smoke and flames could be seen for miles. The blaze at Chevron’s plant in Richmond, about 10 miles northeast of San Francisco, was contained late Monday although it was not immediately known when the flames would be extinguished, said company spokeswoman Heather Kulp.

Cholesterol in kids drops

Finally some good news about cholesterol and kids: A big government study shows that in the past decade, the proportion of children who have high cholesterol has fallen. The results are surprising, given that the childhood obesity rate didn’t budge. How can that be? Some experts think that while most kids may not be eating less or exercising more, they may be getting fewer trans fats. That’s because the arteryclogging ingredient has been removed or reduced in many foods. The research, released online Tuesday by the Journal of the American Medical Association, also showed that children’s average overall cholesterol levels declined slightly.

Romney’s business record at Bain Capital, the private equity fund he ran. The ad features a former employee at GST Steel who lost his job and health insurance when Bain closed the Kansas-based steel plant in 2001. The man says he doesn’t think Romney “understands what he’s done to people’s lives” by closing the plant. Meanwhile, Republicans announced more speakers for the convention opening Aug. 27 in Tampa, Fla., where Romney will officially accept the GOP nomination. Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, who challenged Romney during the primaries, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul are among them.

Shooting puts spotlight on hate music

By PATRICK CONDON and TODD RICHMOND Associated Press

MILWAUKEE — When they aren’t ranting in Internet forums, many of the nation’s white supremacists seek a louder outlet for their extreme views: thunderous, thrashing heavy metal or punk with lyrics that call for a race war. Wade Michael Page, the gunman who killed six people at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin before being killed by police, was deeply involved in the “hate rock” scene — a shadowy world of hundreds of performers in the U.S. and Europe, most of them playing metal or hardcore punk. Some also play country, folk and other genres. Largely unknown to most Americans, this musical subculture is an in-

tegral part of neo-Nazi circles, offering a way for like-minded followers to connect with each other and socialize, recruit new members and raise money for their cause.

“It really was a good political weapon for the agenda,” said Jason Stevens, who once fronted a white-power band called Intimidation One in Portland, Ore. Page played guitar and bass with Intimidation One in the early part of the last decade. He also appeared in bands named Definite Hate and End Apathy. Stevens, who turned his back on white supremacy in 2004 and now owns a small business, said he was shocked to hear that a friend he remembered as “mellow and quiet” had committed such a heinous crime. The National Alliance, a prominent white-power organization, sometimes cleared $1 million a year in profit from music, books and magazines, video games and other supremacy products, Levin said.

BEIRUT — Syrian President Bashar Assad made his first appearance on state TV in nearly three weeks Tuesday in a show of solidarity with a senior Iranian envoy even as the U.S. secretary of state urged stepping up international planning for the regime’s collapse. The contrasts couldn’t have been more vivid: Assad and Iran’s Saeed Jalili vowing to defeat the rebels and their backers, while Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton predicted Assad’s regime was quickly unraveling, with high-level defections such as his prime minister’s switch to the rebel side. It also highlighted Assad’s deepening reliance on a shrinking list of allies, led by Tehran. Assad — seen on state TV for the first time since a July18 bombing in Damascus killed four of his top security officials — used Jalili’s visit to portray a sense of command and vowed to fight his opponents “relentlessly.” Jalili, the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, promised Iran would stand by Syria against its international “enemies” — a clear reference to the rebels’ Western backers and others such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar. While there were no public pledges of greater military assistance to Assad, the mission by Jalili appeared to reflect Iran’s efforts to reassure Syria of its backing and ease speculation that Tehran also could be making contingencies for Assad’s possible fall. On a visit to South Africa, Clinton described Assad’s regime as splintering from Monday’s defection of Syria’s prime minister, Riad Hijab, and other military and political figures breaking away in recent months. She urged international leaders to begin work on a “good transition plan” to try to keep Syria from collapsing into more chaos after Assad. “I am not going to put a timeline on it. I can’t possibly predict it, but I know it’s going to happen as do most observers around the world,” Clinton said. A post-Assad Syria presents a host of worrisome scenarios, including a bloody cycle of revenge and power grabs by the country’s factions. They include the Sunni-led rebels and Assad’s minority Alawite community, an offshoot of Shiite Islam and part of its close bonds with Shiite power Iran. A growing humanitarian crisis is already taking hold. Close to 48,000 Syrians have already taken refuge in Turkey, which has served as a staging ground for rebels. Even more refugees have crossed into Jordan and Lebanon.

Girl, 6, found clinging to floating corpse of family pal in N.Y. lake By JIM FITZGERALD Associated Press

CARMEL, N.Y. — Boaters rescued a 6-year-old girl from a small reservoir north of New York City after finding her clinging to the floating corpse of a family friend who had taken her to the water to cool off, officials said Tuesday. The cause of the woman’s death was not yet known and

an autopsy was planned, said Carmel police Chief Michael Johnson. He said she could have drowned or suffered some kind of medical emergency while wading with the girl in Lake Gleneida. The lake, about 730 yards at its widest, is part of New York City’s water supply system, and swimming there is banned. The woman was identified as Pamela Kaner, 59, of Brewster.

Police said she was caring for the girl while the girl’s mother ran an errand. The girl, whose name was not released, told police that Kaner brought her into the water in the early afternoon Monday and was holding her when something went wrong. The child had no life vest on and was crying as she clung to the woman’s body in the middle of the lake late Monday af-

ternoon, said Carter Strickland, commissioner of the New York City Department of Environmental Protection. The agency owns the lake. Two men and a woman in a rowboat heard the girl crying for help around 5 p.m. and found her holding on to Kaner’s body, Strickland said. The boaters pulled the girl from the water, brought her to

shore and called police, officials said. She was treated at a hospital, but was not seriously harmed. Kaner’s body was retrieved by firefighters, who paddled out in a commandeered boat. No swimming or wading and no boats with engines are allowed on Lake Gleneida. “She shouldn’t have been in the lake,” Johnson said.

Stanley A. Forsey August 7, 2012 tanley A. Forsey, 70, of Hanover Township, died Tuesday, August S 7, 2012, at his home after fighting a

valiant battle with cancer. He was the loving husband of Sharon Zyblewski Forsey. They recently celebrated their 46th wedding anniversary. Born in Plains Township, he was a son of the late John and Charlotte Forsey, and was a graduate of Plains High School, class of 1961. Prior to his retirement in 2007, he worked for 46 years as a Master Die Repairman at Mideast Aluminum in Mountain Top. Surviving are his wife, Sharon Forsey, Hanover Township; daughters, Michelle Tovcimak and her husband, Stephen Tovcimak, Red Hook, N.Y.; Karen Padden and her husband, Rob Padden, Laurel Run; son, Frank Forsey, Thorndale; grandchildren, Stephen and Sarah Tovcimak, Red Hook, N.Y.; Logan and Ian Padden, Laurel Run.

Stanley was preceded in death by his brothers Richard and Merritt, and sister Mrs. Catherine Shook. He was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed fishing, hunting, gardening and bluegrass music. Nothing gave him more happi-

ness and joy than spending time with his grandkids. He made a mean pot of spaghetti sauce from the bushels of tomatoes that he grew in his garden, and no one could turn down a loaf of his homemade bread. Although he would be the last to admit it, he touched many people’s lives with his homegrown wisdom and quiet strength. He will be sadly missed by his many “adopted children,” the friends of his own children. No one was prouder of his kids than he was. He will always be remembered with a remote in his hand, his dachshund, Moe, on his lap, and a sarcastic joke on his lips. Stanley taught his family by example, living by the words of the poem, “The Man In The Glass.” “You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years And get pats on the back as you pass, But your final reward will be heartache and tears If you’ve cheated the man in the glass.” Those who desire may give memorial contributions in his name to the Medical Oncology Prescription Fund, 382 Pierce St., Kingston. Arrangements are being made by Mammary-Durkin Funeral Service Inc., 59 Parrish St., WilkesBarre. Funeral will be at the convenience of the family. There will be no calling hours.

Main Street fire company. Derwin said several neighboring police departments were called to assist. He said that in addition to Plymouth police, officers from Swoyersville, Forty Fort, Kingston, Edwardsville, Larksville and Luzerne were on the scene. Derwin said he expects a full report to be completed by early

next week, at which time charges and/or citations will be filed. He said that according to preliminary information, he believes the fight was racially charged. Police had to shut down the bazaar and get those not involved with the fight to leave. Derwin said officers used a Taser on several people involved in the melee. “There was a big tent in the middle of the grounds,” Derwin said. “It was loaded with people

and a lot of children.” Derwin said security precautions were being taken by fire house personnel. He said everyone entering the bazaar grounds was checked with a hand-held wand metal detector. Derwin said police had heard there could be retaliation at the bazaar stemming for the July 7 triple homicide in Plymouth. Extra security personnel were hired for the bazaar. But Derwin said the melee was not related to the reports of retaliation.

Man pleads guilty to lesser charges By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A Dunmore man charged with sexually assaulting a woman pleaded guilty Tuesday to lesser charges after an agreement was reached between attorneys and the victim. Mark Summa, 32, of Green Street, entered the plea to charges of harassment and disorderly conduct after Assistant District Attorney Molly Mirabito said the woman, police officers, herself and Summa and his attorney came to an agreement after discussion that included the withdrawal of three counts of sexual assault and two counts of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse. Also, Summa was ordered to have no contact with the woman. Summa was scheduled to stand trial on the five charges Tuesday. Judge Joseph Sklarosky immediately sentenced Summa to 90 days in county prison, but Summa was released because he has been jailed since September. Mirabito said the woman agreed to the plea, and any protection-from-abuse orders that had been filed against Summa will be dropped. “No contact means no con-

tact,” Mirabito asked that Sklarosky instruct Summa. “No phone calls, no text messages, no visiting her at work ... .” According to court papers, on Aug. 26, 2011, police were called to a Hunlock Township house, where a then-39-year-old woman said she was leaving for work in the morning and was followed by Summa. The woman said Summa asked her to meet with him after work, and that she left work early that day to avoid him. When she got to her home, she told police, Summa showed up at her front door and she asked him to leave. Instead, the woman said, Summa entered the house, followed the woman into a bathroom and had sexual intercourse with her. Summa had sex with her twice more, according to the criminal complaint, and the woman struggled and tried to stop Summa’s alleged advances. She was able to leave the house after asking Summa to help her find her cellphone. When Summa left the room, the woman said, she escaped, got into her vehicle and drove away. Police said the woman drove to a gas station, locked herself in a bathroom and called a relative for help.

hearing to determine if prosecutors have enough evidence against him to bring charges to county court. No hearing date has been set. If Lee’s case had been transferred to juvenile court, he would have been scheduled for an adjudication hearing and he could have faced a maximum term of detention until age 21. Sklarosky sent Lee’s case to Senior Judge Joseph Augello, who had originally been hearing it but recused himself after statements Lee allegedly made to police were suppressed. Augello said he could not fairly hear the transfer request after presiding over the motion to suppress statements. Sklarosky wrote in a 15-page opinion that accompanied his ruling that several witnesses who testified at the five-day transfer hearing were “pivotal”

Phase II was estimated to cost an additional $12 million. “The ultimate goal is to fund Phase II of this project that will finally achieve an uninterrupted connection from downtown to I-81,” Leighton said. Leighton said the roadway project is the “capstone of a commitment” that he made to the Coal Street neighborhood when to his ruling. The judge said he considered information from Lee’s grandmother, a Luzerne County juvenile probation officer, a school guidance counselor and a Luzerne County Correctional Facility teacher. The judge also discussed at length testimony by psychiatrist Dr. Richard Fischbein, who said Lee suffered from a depressive disorder attributed to the loss of family members during his lifetime. Sklarosky said he “rejected” Fischbein’s opinion. Also considered was testimony from Lee’s cousin, who said the rifle used in the killing did not have a “hair trigger” and testimony from a state trooper that there was a live cartridge in the gun, meaning the last operator had to manually reload the gun after discharging a spent casing. Lee’s uncle testified his father kept the guns in the home under lock. Testimony revealed hinges on the cabinet were tampered with and screwdrivers were found in Lee’s bedroom.

Butch Frati, the city’s operations director, said the park splash pad is still not operating properly. He said the latest issue concerns the chlorinator. Water pressure has been low in the fountains and Frati said the city is working to get the splash pad fixed to perform at optimum level.

Afghan-Americans settle suit with dealer The Associated Press

FREMONT, Calif. — A North California Toyota dealership has agreed to pay $400,000 to five former Afghan-American employees who say a manager called them terrorists and threatened them. The Fremont Argus reported that Fremont Toyota’s former general manager allegedly called four salesmen names and threatened to blow them up with a grenade in a 2007 staff meeting.

Family Owned & Operated Since 1997

A spokesman for the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission says the salesmen resigned after facing harassment for reporting the abuse and a manager was fired for also complaining. The general manager has since left the dealership. As part of the settlement, the EEOC says Fremont Toyota has also agreed to train its managers about discrimination and will report to the commission for three years.

OUR OPINION: LIGHTNING RISK

Guard yourself against strikes

GREATER respect for Mother Nature – and possibly a better storm-warning system – might have spared nine people at Pocono Raceway the agony of being injured by lightning and prevented the death of a Moosic father. Instead, 41-year-old Brian Zimmerman leaves behind a wife and three children. Several other victims of the electrical storm that prompted an early end to Sunday’s NASCAR race presumably will carry the physical and emotional scars for many years, perhaps their entire lives. Authorities should question exactly when track officials first announced that threatening thunderstorms were approaching the Long Pond venue, and whether the tens of thousands of people in attendance were able to hear the public address system over the din of roaring engines and whirring tires.

minder that your personal safety is ultimately your business – whether in a movie theater, at a rock concert or rock climbing. Know the risks. Stay alert. And if needed, react. While Florida is the most lightning-prone state, Pennsylvania typically ranks among the top10 in terms of annual deaths and injuries. Among the most vulnerable are outdoorsy types: hikers, bikers, boaters, swimmers, golfers, motorcyclists, even farmers. If you’re among them, keep an eye to the sky, especially during the summer, and take advantage of access to radar technology and text alerts. Similarly, everyone should heed this advice from the lightning safety specialists at the National Weather Service: “When thunder roars, go indoors.” And while you might consider lightning strike survivors “lucky,” keep in mind that victims sometimes cope with long-term symptoms such as dizziness, depression, muscle spasms, memory problems and hearing loss. Respect electrical storms; they can be dazzling – and extremely dangerous.

Gun control: It’s worth a shot

E’RE GOING TO talk about gun control – or rather, why we’re not talking about gun control. After the massacre at the Colorado movie theater a few weeks ago there was remarkably little discussion about the subject. Gun rights organizations are quick to say those who favor stricter controls “capitalize” on such tragedies, but in this case both sides were relatively silent. No one is spoiling for this particular fight, but we should be able, at least, to have a reasonable discussion after 12 people are killed and 58 more wounded – or when six people are gunned down in a Wisconsin house of worship. It seems now is the perfect time. No one is going to ban firearms; the Constitution is pretty clear on that. And, yes, we know there always will be crazy people out there hell-bent on causEDITORIAL BOARD

ing misery. No law will stop them. But do we really need to arm them – or any civilian, for that matter – with assault rifles and hundred-round magazines? Some gun rights advocates have said banning assault rifles is a slippery slope that would lead to an outright ban on firearms. But under President Bill Clinton, the sale of such weapons was banned, although that law expired in 2004. We survived, and no government agents went door to door collecting guns. It makes no sense that people can’t have a discussion about gun control without it ending in labels being tossed about. How about this? There’s nothing extreme about simply owning a gun, just as there’s nothing un-American about wanting reasonable limits. There. We said it. The York Dispatch

Latinos have responsibility to become engaged citizens EVER SINCE the latest census confirmed that Latinos are the largest ethnic group in the country, I’ve been thinking about Spiderman’s motto: “With great power comes great responsibility.” As a Latino-American, I feel the need to temper my enthusiasm about our new place in our country with a healthy sense of responsibility. If we honor four of the foundational tenets of Latino culture – family, education, financial security and civic engagement – we ought to do just fine. First, Latinos are intensely proud of how much our sense of family integrates itself into every aspect of our lives. Now it’s time to expand the concept of family to include the community in which we live. Beautifying an abandoned garden or playground, mentoring teens at the church, coaching Little League, organizing a block party and volunteering at a shelter are among the activities that can have the most meaningful impact on those around us. Second, Latinos must be serious about improving our education status. We can no longer accept having a 35 percent high school dropout rate. We can no longer accept having the lowest level of higher degrees, according to findings released earlier this year by Excelencia in Education. We need to instill in our children the

MAIL BAG

JULEYKA LANTIGUA-WILLIAMS belief that learning paves the path to lasting success. As an immigrant who came to this country at age 10, I remember my mother saying: “An education is the only thing that will get you the life you want.” Third, while many Latinos are financially independent, we must adapt. Latinos own 2.3 million small businesses, as reported by the Small Business Administration. From the bodegas in barrios throughout the Northeast to construction and landscaping businesses on the West Coast, we have adapted the American ethos of entrepreneurship and made it all our own. But now we must invest in technology and retrain our employees so we can provide better services to our increasingly wired clients. Last, to truly be part of an engaged citizenry, we must hold ourselves accountable by becoming naturalized citizens if we were not born here, by registering to vote if we have not done so, by making sure that we meet and engage local political

candidates when they have town hall meetings or stand at busy intersections in our neighborhoods. But we must assert our independent spirit – especially at the local level. We cannot be a candidate’s rubber stamp simply because he or she has a familiar-sounding last name. Doing so often guarantees the worse possible results because we teach politicians to pander to us during election cycles instead of holding them accountable before and during their terms. In short, Latinos have to take those core values that define us and apply them on a larger scale – starting with our families and branching out into the rest of the country – so that we can have the type of meaningful influence that could propel our country toward a more inclusive and equitable future.

Nitwit Mitt for president? Now that’s a real hoot

ell, it’s becoming clearer every day why John McCain decided that Sarah Palin was a better candidate for vice president than Mitt Romney. That alone makes you wonder how Mitt ended up as the presumptive GOP candidate for president! He’s beginning to build his own library of “Mitt-wits.” The convention ought to be a real hoot. Palin might have had a great view of Russia from her front porch and maybe, just maybe, Paul Revere actually was warning the British that the British were coming. But at least she didn’t do the interview with Katie Couric retroactively. As Romney considers his options for vice president, he has pointed out that the major criterion is that the person needs to be ready to become president at a moment’s notice, should the need arise. That takes us back to why John McCain might not have selected Mitt to be his vice presidential candidate, doesn’t it? Mike Simko Swoyersville

Iodide pills are being passed out Free tablets available to those within 10-mile radius of nuke plants. Times Leader Staff

The Pennsylvania Department of Health is providing free potassium iodide tablets on Thursday to help citizens be prepared for public health emergencies involving nuclear facilities. Pennsylvanians who live, work or attend school within a 10-mile radius of one of the state’s five nuclear power plants can get free potassium iodide, or KI, tablets. Taken as directed during a radiological emergency, KI can help protect the thyroid gland against harmful radioactive iodine. Individuals should take KI tablets only when directed to do so by state health officials or the governor. Locally, KI tablets will be distributed at the Butler Township Community Center, 411 W. Butler Drive, Drums section of Butler Township; and at Luzerne County Community College’s Public Safety Institute, 1333 S. Prospect St., Nanticoke. Four 65-milligram tablets will be provided to each adult. Smaller doses will be given for children, based on their age. Individuals can pick up KI tablets for other family members or those who are unable to pick them up on their own. Directions detailing when to take the tablets and how to store them will be provided. Anyone can take the tablets as long as they are not allergic to KI. They are safe for pregnant women and those who are breastfeeding, people on thyroid medicine, children and infants. Individuals who are unsure if they should take KI should ask a health care provider. Those unable to get tablets Thursday can pick them up any time at county and municipal health departments or state health centers. In addition to the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station in Salem Township, Pennsylvania’s nuclear power plants are Beaver Valley Power Station, Limerick Generating Station, Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station and Three Mile Island.

Ex-foster child files suit vs. county, agency Times Leader staff

SCRANTON – A man who claims he was abused by foster parents as a child has filed a federal lawsuit against Luzerne County and Children and Youth Services, alleging the agency failed to protect him. The man, identified as T.A.P., alleges he endured severe physical and psychological abuse at the hands of two foster parents and a foster care home from 2004 to 2008. According to the suit filed by attorney Edward Ciarimboli: The man was12 years old when, in October 2004, he and a sibling were placed in foster care after police found drugs in their family home. The house was found to be in deplorable condition. Over the next four years, Children and Youth Services placed him in foster homes in West Hazleton and Mifflinburg without first assessing the safety of the homes. The man alleges he was subject to severe physical and emotional abuse at each of the homes. At the Mifflinburg home, he says he also was denied food and forced to perform extensive physical labor at the foster parents’ home and the home of the foster parents’ relatives. The suit alleges the man advised caseworkers of the abuse, but they failed to take action to protect him. The suit names several county offices as defendants, including Children and Youth Services and its director, Frank Castano; Mary Dysleski, interim director of Luzerne County Office of Human Services; and Children and Youth caseworkers Cathy Stamets, Marilyh Wilkinson and Becky Silvers-Roads. The foster parents accused of the abuse are not named as defendants. Castano did not immediately return a phone message Tuesday seeking comment.

EXETER BOROUGH COUNCIL

Exeter seeks aid to address debt woes W H AT ’ S N E X T

By B. GARRET ROGAN Times Leader Correspondent

EXETER – Facing a serious budget shortfall, borough council on Tuesday night agreed to apply to the Pennsylvania Governor’s Center for Local Government Services’ Early Intervention Program. Council member Larry Dellegrotto reminded the public of the borough’s difficult financial situation during Tuesday’s regular council meeting. The borough’s general fund is at $14,000 while its outstanding bills currently add up to $151,000. After these numbers were shared, Dellegrotto reit-

erated his statement from July’s council meeting at which he stressed the seriousness of the municipal debt. Council unanimously voted to seek the intervention program in an attempt to address Exeter’s need to raise revenue and reduce spending. The purpose of the program is to prevent a local government from entering distressed status. The program could potentially fund some or all of the ex-

penses involved in hiring a qualified financial consultant to help the borough establish feasible multiyear plans to address debt. Although the borough is able to make payroll, and bills are paid when the money is available, Dellegrotto acknowledged the very real possibility the borough may have to cut services in the near future to reduce its deficit. In another matter, council passed the completely symbolic motion to voice its concerns about the possible establishment of a natural gas compressor station in nearby West Wyoming. Opposition to the natural gas drilling

industry has been consistently expressed in Exeter over the past several years. Even when the contentious debate over a possible Wal-Mart in the borough seemed to split the town, both sides tended to come to an agreement in voicing their intentions to prevent gas industry involvement within the borough or any of the adjoining municipalities. Resident Nancy Dolan of the Luzerne County Citizens for Clean Air even utilized council chambers for presentations on the potential for natural gas drilling and transport-related pollution.

STATION

Should the station receive the zoning hearing board’s approval, UGI Energy Services will require further approvals from the Luzerne County Planning Commission, the Luzerne County Conservation District and the state Department of Environmental Protection. DEP spokeswoman Colleen Connolly said a public hearing will be held on UGI’s permit request, probably in September or October.

station and a variance for a radio communication tower up to 100 feet tall needed to maintain contact with the pipeline. UGI revised its height variance request at the hearing, having initially requested a 150-foot tower. A special exception is a use that is envisioned by the governing zoning ordinance while a variance is required for a use outside the ordinance, board member Larry Newman explained. Newman said before the hearing that the board must limit its activity to those rules outlined in the state municipal planning code and the Luzerne County zoning ordinance, and it cannot alter existing law. More than 100 onlookers packed the jury room of the Luzerne County Courthouse for the hearing, most to voice their opposition to the station or stand in support of those doing so. Four representatives from UGI testified they did not believe the compressor station presented a threat to public health, noting that the station would greatly exceed federal emissions standards. UGI projects the station would produce 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. It would also meet Federal Energy Regulatory Commission noise limits at 350 feet, while the nearest home to the station is more than 2000 feet beyond that horizon, Engineering and Construction Director Michael E. Smith said. Casey Monagan, an engineer with engineering and architecture group Quad 3 Group Inc., called the proposed station location “remote,” saying it was approximately one-half mile from the nearest homes and roadways. He said the 100-foot communications tower would not be visible from 8th Street or Shoemaker Avenue, and would have a smaller footprint than the PPL electricity transmission lines passing near the station. But residents who testified did not buy into the company’s assertion the station presents

a minimal impact on the borough. Janet Wasson, a West Wyoming resident who said she has a degree in Earth sciences and chemistry from Misericordia University, received a standing ovation after she pointed out the potential harmful effects of some of the emissions produced by the station, including benzene and carbon monoxide. “The gas company may believe I as well as everybody in the back of me here is expendable,” Wasson said. “But I do not believe that I should be collateral damage for the sake of the industry’s profit.” Brian Katula of West Wyoming stated he could find no longterm, longitudinal public health studies on the human health impacts of compressor stations, and said UGI should be able to prove the station will not have an adverse impact before it is allowed to construct it. “Is anyone on your research staff aware of one research study that says that these are safe facilities?” he asked. Francis O’Shea said the station will emit the equivalent of 71 public buses running 24 hours per day, “far exceed (ing) all traffic emissions in our area.” Other residents expressed concerns about declines in their property values and the result of an accident at the station. Ruth Likowski of West Wyoming said explosions at compressor stations “are not uncommon,” citing the explosion in March at the Lathrop compressor station in Susquehanna County. The West

Wyoming Fire Department is not staffed 24 hours a day, and responders could be slowed if debris from a large explosion blocked access to 8th street. West Wyoming Council Chairwoman Eileen Cipriani spoke on behalf of the borough council and residents, stating that the municipality does not support the compressor being constructed in West Wyoming. She also requested that if the board does approve the station, its approval be conditional upon nine factors: a feasibility study determining if electric motors could be used at the station; an on-site water retention basin; a 100-foot natural vegetation buffer around the station; capping pollution levels at the projected 18.5 percent of the EPA limit – meaning no additional emissionsproducing equipment at the site; independent emissions monitoring; developing emergency preparedness plans with local emergency crews; fast-acting shutdown valves to isolate the compressor from the pipeline in the event of an emergency; check valves to prevent backflow of gas from the Transco pipeline, and a 6foot fence around the station. Cipriani also took issue with UGI’s characterization of the area surrounding the station as remote, saying West Wyoming is approximately 3 1/2 square miles in size and has a population of close to 2,700. “There is cause for health concern, and it is a densely populated municipality,” she said. State Rep. Phyllis Mundy also urged the board to deny the application through spokesman Omeed Firouzi. By press deadline, the board was still hearing testimony from “individuals with standing,” or residents of West Wyoming. The board said it would hear testimony from those without standing afterward.

when they came into office, but we already had a list of things we had to get done,” Bobeck said. The 11-member council formed a new strategic initiatives committee to brainstorm proposed priorities. Bobeck was selected chairman of the committee during its first meeting Tuesday. Uniform employee benefits and perks, a budget reserve and a county credit rating that would allow the refinancing of at least some of the county’s more than $410 million in debt are among Bobeck’s suggested priorities. Restoring trust in county government, strengthening infrastructure and enhancing quality of life top committee member Rick Williams’ list. He also has pushed for consistency in employee benefits. Committee member Linda McClosky Houck said fiscal responsibility and reorganization of the government under the new home rule structure must be among the priorities. Councilman Eugene Kelleher, also a committee member, said the group will be more equipped to lay out priorities after county Manager Robert Lawton presents his mid-year financial analysis and deficit avoidance plan on Aug. 14. The committee tentatively planned to meet again Aug. 21 to discuss priorities. Lawton attended Tuesday’s meeting and said he will try to incorporate council’s priorities into the 2013 budget. The administration also will report quarterly on its progress meeting each target, he said.

Bobeck stressed it may take years for the administration to carry out the strategy ultimately adopted by council. For example, the county must demonstrate several years of sound budgets and a healthy emergency reserve to obtain a credit rating. The strategic committee spent most of its first meeting – more than two hours – finalizing detailed proposed operating rules and procedures for council. The committee recommended council members should be deemed tardy if they aren’t present for discussion of the first voting matter on a meeting agenda. Council members may opt to publicly reprimand colleagues who are habitually tardy, according to the proposed rules. Council members also should be limited to three minutes, or the amount of time allotted for citizen public comment, when they make statements at the end of meetings, the committee agreed. Meeting attendance by telephone or video will be permitted, but council members must be “engaged” from roll call to adjournment, the group decided. The committee also will recommend designating the council meeting room on the first floor of the courthouse as the primary public meeting location for council. Council meetings have been held at the county’s Emergency Management Agency building, largely because it holds larger crowds. Lawton said the administration will eliminate an elevated platform designed for the former commissioner government to free up more space in the courthouse meeting room.

$400,000. Madry’s parents have also agreed to accept the tenders of GEICO Insurance Co. and AAA Mid-Atlantic, which insured Fredmund and Rushinski, for a total of $125,000. Tuesday’s filing requested that the Madrys be permitted to accept the $125,000 and continue the suit against the Glen Summit Co. Because the portion of the suit against the Glen Summit Co. is not settled, Anzalone wrote, there “could potentially be a jury trial to resolve” that matter. The Glen Summit Co., the suit said, is responsible for Madry’s death because it failed to provide “appropriate security for Fountain Lake” when man-

agement should have known that “underage residents and non-residents conducted drinking parFredmund ties” there. The company should have alerted police to the activity, the suit says. The suit also says the company failed to listen to residents’ complaints about providing security at the lake at night, and that because there was no security, the company “maintained an attractive nuisance ... in the evening hours.” Judge William Amesbury approved the settlement Tuesday, as well as any attorney fees and reimbursement costs. After attorney’ fees and costs are paid, Anzalone wrote, the Madrys will receive more than $85,000 from the insurance companies.

Team will have names on jerseys, ribbons in support of abuse victims. By DEREK LEVARSE dlevarse@timesleader.com

With a new era coming for Penn State, the Nittany Lions will have new uniforms to go with it this season. The two changes announced by the school will be for symbolic reasons moreso than aesthetic ones. For the first time in program history, Penn State players will have names on the backs of their jerseys. The new uniforms will also sport a blue ribbon in support of victims of child O’Brien abuse. The alterations are not necessarily permanent. A Penn State spokesman said that there have not been any discussions about the uniforms for beyond the 2012 season. Coach Bill O’Brien had hinted that some sort of change to the iconic kits was in the making following the announcement of NCAA sanctions against the program. After the Lions’ first preseason practice on Monday, O’Brien said the issue was See SPELLING, Page 4B

Captain Raisman wins floor By NANCY ARMOUR AP National Writer

LONDON — Two Olympic gold medals are just fine with Gabby Douglas. Same for Aly Raisman, though that bronze was pretty sweet, too. While the all-around champion failed to add to her medal haul Tuesday, Raisman wrapped up the London Olympics in style. Her gold on floor exercise was the first for a U.S. woman, and her bronze on balance beam was a bit of karmic payback. Douglas may have won the most prestigious gymnastics title — all-around champion — but Raisman

leaves as the most decorated of the Fierce Five with three medals. “To say that I even almost had four medals, that makes me even more happy,” the U.S. captain said, referring to an earlier tiebreak that snatched away a bronze. “It definitely went better than I thought it would.” Good thing, too, because the American medal count needed a boost. The six U.S. medals are the fewest since 2000, and the men were a bust. After all the big talk about challenging Chi-

WVALL breaks ‘jinx’ but loses trophy

South Scranton’s Matt Harte is safe at first base as Swoyersville first baseman Bobby Polacheck can’t scoop a low throw.

SCRANTON – In four previous games of the Commander’s Cup series, the home team went scoreless in 28 innings. The Wyoming Valley American Legion League was fortunate to break that streak in the winnertake-all game of the best-of-five

series. But the team couldn’t DISTRICT 11 score enough to be the first home team to win a game as District WYOMING 11 defeated the VALLEY Wyoming Valley 4-1 at Battaglia Field to claim the coveted trophy. “We broke the jinx, but unfortunately we couldn’t get the win,” said WVALL co-manager Gary Gavrish from Swoyersville. “All around it was a great effort.” The difference in Tuesday’s

game was a two-run first inning and a two-run sixth inning by District 11 (Lackawanna County). The first two runs were setup when Chris Rebar attempted a safety squeeze with no outs in the top of the first. Not only was he successful, to plate the first run of the game, but he reached base himself and scored on a single by D.J. Novaczynski. “Difference in the game was those seeing-eye hits,” Gavrish added. The Wyoming Valley trimmed the lead to 2-1in the bottom of the

second and ended a 29-inning scoreless drought by the home team in the series when Plains’ Bob Sorokas singled, reached second on an error, third on a wild pitch and scored on another error. But that’s all the team would get on the night. The WVALL only managed six hits with six players getting a hit. The team had a runner reach second three times after scoring in the second as D11 pitcher James Duensing, from See JINX, Page 3B

NFL

First female official not intimidated at all

By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. — Even the best of intentions can lead to backhanded compliments. Especially when it comes to the PGA Championship. Since it abandoned match play in 1958 as television played a more prominent role, the PGA Championship has suffered somewhat of an identity crisis. The Masters is without compare for many reasons, though it starts with being at Augusta National every year. The U.S. Open is billed as the toughest test in golf, sometimes to a fault. The British Open is the only major played on links courses. And where does that leave the PGA Championship? “The fourth major,” Graeme McDowell said, stating a fact instead of making a crack. “It doesn’t get the accolades it deserves,” he said. “But there’s not a guy on the range that wouldn’t put it head-and-shoulders over any tournament in the world — apart from the other three major championships.” Ouch. Of course, the PGA of America doesn’t help itself by taking its premier championship to an ordinary course like Valhalla, which it owns. Or when it goes to Kiawah Island, where the president of the resort (Roger Warren) just happened to be a former PGA of America president. No other major telecast is laden with so many commercials and so little golf. And it’s the only major this year where a corporate sky box occupies more space than grandstands along the 18th hole. Even so, the slogan says it all — Glory’s Last Shot.

and one run in eight innings of work. Cory Wade replaced Warren in the ninth, allowed no runs and earned the victory for the Yankees. Ronnier Mustelier grounded into a fielder’s choice to give the Yankees their first run of the game and a 1-0 lead in the top of the eighth. Rene Rivera answered with a double to right field to tie the game at one in the bottom of the eighth. Liam Hendriks also had a solid outing on the mound for Rochester, allowing no runs on three hits and striking out seven. Bobby Lanigan was credited with the loss for the Red Wings. Dickerson led the Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre offense with three hits and two RBI.

for-4) scoring on a wild pitch. Regardless of the outcome, it was a good experience for the Wyoming Valley players. “Hopefully for some of the younger guys, being around the older guys gives them experience,” Stark added. “And for the older guys hopefully it gives them the experience they need to succeed at the next level. “There is a lot of really young talent in the league and these players are going to be good.”

ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- After strong pitching on both sides pushed the game into extra innings, the Scranton/WilkesBarre Yankees pulled through in the 11th inning. With the bases loaded, Chris Dickerson broke the game open on a single to right field to give the Yankees a 3-1 lead heading into the bottom of the 11th inning. Ryota Igarashi retired the side in order, striking out two in the bottom of the 11th, to secure the victory and his seventh save of the season, 3-1 over the Rochester Red Wings on Tuesday.

Tiger Woods watches his chip to the ninth green during a practice round for the PGA Championship on the Ocean Course of the Kiawah Island Golf Club in Kiawah Island, S.C., on Tuesday.

It’s the last chance this year to win a major, and remember, it was Tiger Woods who once said it can’t be considered a great year without one. After the last putt falls on Sunday, there won’t be another major for nearly eight months, when azaleas start to bloom in Augusta. And it’s worth noting the first part of what McDowell said. There isn’t a single player in the 156-man field — including the 20 club pros — who wouldn’t love to see if they have the muscle to hoist the heaviest trophy of the four majors. The PGA Championship over the last decade has billed itself as the strongest field in golf, an argument it wins with evidence from the world ranking. Barring anyone pulling out before Thursday’s opening round, it will have the top 103 players in the world. That’s more than the entire field at the Masters. Going into this year, the PGA Championship had

the 10 highest-rated fields in all of golf. But that distinction is losing some of its shine. The World Golf Championships bring at least the top 50 together three times a year, which could turn into four times a year once the HSBC Champions becomes part of the PGA Tour official schedule. The Players Championship does the same, and arguably has the strongest and deepest field in golf because it doesn’t have 20 club pros. So where does that leave the PGA Championship in the major championship rotation? Perhaps it should be referred to as the fairest of them all. Ask just about any player for their impressions of the PGA Championship, whether it’s held on a classic design like Southern Hills or Baltusrol, or it goes somewhere new like Kiawah Island or Whistling Straits, and the answer typically is the same. “It’s set up a little more fairly

than the other ones,” Steve Stricker said. “I think over the years, they’ve done a better job of mixing it up on a daily basis with the tees. The rough isn’t over-thetop brutal. It’s still hard, don’t get me wrong. The tournament is always hard. It’s probably not set up as hard as the other ones, but it’s more fair.” “Most PGA venues I’ve played have been quite fair,” Ernie Els said. “Some of them have been an upgrade from tour events, maybe a touch more difficult. It’s the more friendly one of the four.” But it’s fair in other ways. No other major rewards a player for having a good year by giving them a spot in the field. Think about it. Is anyone ever missing from the PGA Championship who should be here? Augusta National didn’t give a spot to Els because he had fallen from the top 50. The British Open and U.S. Open offer spots to the top 50 in the world.

The NFL’s first female official is welcoming her role as a sports pioneer. Shannon Eastin says she’s excited and a bit nervous but not at all intimidated by the challenge of working a pro game. Eastin makes her NFL debut Thursday night as the line judge when the Green Bay Packers play at San Diego in the preseason opener for both teams. A 42-year-old referee in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference — college football’s second-highest level — Eastin has 16 years of officiating experience. She is among the replacement officials hired by the league while the regular officials are locked out. Like the rest of her current colleagues, she could easily be back to her regular officiating gig once a new labor deal is struck. “I want to encourage women: Don’t be afraid,” Eastin said on a conference call Tuesday. “Pursue and have dreams. This is my dream. With very step I hope to show it really doesn’t matter if you are male or female.” Eastin is in a particularly difficult spot for three reasons: — No woman has officiated an NFL game;

— The Chargers host the Packers on national television; — She is viewed by some of the NFL’s regular officials as a scab. “Hopefully there is some understanding on their part I have got to do what’s in the best interest of myself,” Eastin said of the regular officials, “just as they have to do what is in their best interest.” Regardless, she says this was a chance she couldn’t pass up. “I believe I am ready,” she said. “I’m a realistic person and I know what is realistic for me. I am not going to play football. I feel it is realistic for me to officiate. “I make myself ready for any opportunity that comes my way. I will come in with my eyes wide open.” She’ll also come in with millions of eyes on her, as well as on the other replacement officials. A crew worked the Hall of Fame game on Sunday with mixed reviews. Beginning Thursday, the replacements will officiate 16 more games. It is the first time in 11 years that replacements have worked games; that standoff lasted one week into the regular season. Her biggest challenges will be handling the different rules in the pros and positioning, Eastin said. She has visited some team training camps to prepare and didn’t see a huge difference in the speed of the game.

Turncoat Redd: ‘I’m a Trojan now’

NCAA, 4 pro leagues sue NJ over betting

Former Penn State tailback takes the field for the first time for Southern California. By GARY KLEIN Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Silas Redd walked across the field after USC’s first practice of training camp Monday night and was greeted by a phalanx of reporters wielding notepads, recording devices and cameras. “Thanks, everybody,” he said, smiling widely, “for wanting to talk to me.” After a whirlwind recruitment that saw him leave Penn State for USC, Redd was speaking publicly for the first time

letter to the NCAA, though the governing body for college sports has said the sanctions are not subject to appeal. The group is challenging the consent decree Penn State President Rodney Erickson signed when the school accepted the penalties last month, as well as the findings in the Freeh report, which the NCAA used instead of doing its own investigation. “The Appellants challenge the factual findings and conclusions

since his departure last week from a program that was hit with NCAA sanctions. But first, he Redd demonstrated on the field why coach Lane Kiffin had pursued him so intently. The junior, wearing No.25, was one of the first players through the gate at Brian Kennedy-Howard Jones Field for the start of the workout and was in constant motion throughout a no-pads practice that lasted about 2 hours. Redd ran with power — “I went the wrong way a couple

times,” he said — and was quick to fist-bump teammates who made good plays. Redd said he had a great experience at Penn State and was thankful for the opportunities he was afforded there. “I’m opening a new chapter of my life,” he said. “I’m a Trojan now.” Kiffin said “so far, so good” when asked to assess Redd’s first-day performance. “I thought his prep was really top-notch,” Kiffin said. The 5-foot-10, 200-pound Redd joins a tailback corps that includes returning starter Curtis McNeal, third-year sophomore D.J. Morgan, redshirt freshman Javorious Allen and several walk-ons.

Redd rushed for 1,241 yards and seven touchdowns in 244 carries last season. He is not expected to get near that workload in a backfield that includes McNeal, who rushed for 1,005 yards and six touchdowns last season. Redd said he made a “business decision” to come to USC, that Kiffin told him he would get a “fair shot” to start for the Trojans and that other running backs had welcomed him to the fold. “No animosity or hard feelings,” Redd said. “Football is football.” McNeal appeared fit and made several impressive runs. “I thought Curtis looked great today,” Kiffin said.

the individual. But with nine players having transferred in the wake of the sanctions, O’Brien said he wanted to honor those that decided to stay. "We want our fans to know and recognize these young men," O’Brien said in a statement. "They have stuck together during tough times, and I commend them for the leadership they have shown. Moving forward, I’m deeply committed to honoring

Penn State’s traditions, while building a bright future for our football program." The blue ribbons have become a fixture around Penn State’s campus since November following the arrest of former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky, who has since been convicted on 45 counts of sexual abuse of children. "The Penn State community stands with all victims of child abuse," acting athletic director Dave Joyner said in a statement.

"(O’Brien) and his football team made it clear they want to support victims and bring more awareness to this issue, which affects so many." "I’m proud that our players want to be part of the university’s efforts to help victims of child abuse," O’Brien said. "We hope our fans join us in wearing blue ribbons to all Penn State home games. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of children everywhere."

of the consent decree and of the underlying investigative report by Sporkin & Sullivan (the “Freeh Report”), which — without notice, investigation or hearing as required — provided the predicate for the actions taken by the NCAA in this matter.” The letter says many of the findings in the report “are clearly erroneous and not supported by the evidence.” “By these unsupported findings, the Appellants have been forever branded as somehow contributing to a ‘culture’ on campus that enabled these unlawful acts against children to continue. Meaning no disrespect

to the victims of abuse, these findings are unfair and they are wrong.” Robinson played at Penn State from 2001-05 and is currently with the Seattle Seahawks. Also named in the letter were ex-assistant coach Bill Kenney and former players Anwar Phillips (2001-05), Josh Gaines (200408), Shamar Finney (1998-2002), Richard Gardner (1999-2003), Gerald Cadogan (2004-08), Anthony Adams (1998-2002) and Justin Kurpeikis (1996-2000). The penalties handed down last month included a four-bowl ban, scholarship cuts and 111 vacated wins from 1998-2011 under

late coach Joe Paterno, knocking the Hall of Famer from the top spot on the career victories list in major college football. Sandusky is awaiting sentencing in jail after being convicted in June on 45 criminal counts. Acting with rare speed, the NCAA announced sanctions July 23 after Penn State handed over results of Freeh’s investigation. The school accepted the sanctions and signed off on a consent decree, with Erickson saying later he didn’t see a better option since the threat of the “death penalty,” or the total shutdown of the football program, loomed over the school.

TENNIS

Raonic beats Troicki 6-3, 6-4 in Toronto matchup The Associated Press

TORONTO — Milos Raonic defeated Viktor Troicki of Serbia 6-3, 6-4 in a second-round match at the Rogers Cup on Tuesday. Americans Mardy Fish and Sam Querrey also advanced to the third round. Fish beat Matthew Ebden of Australia 6-2, 6-0 and Querrey ousted Jurgen Melzer of Austria 6-3, 6-2. Raonic said he felt no unusual

pressure playing before his hometown crowd. “Obviously it’s a little bit different when you got on the court, but before the match I really didn’t change anything the way I would normally,” he said. Raonic won the first set after breaking Troicki’s serve in the eighth game and then held his own serve. The 21-year-old broke Troicki’s serve in the third game of the sec-

ond set and then held his serve, finishing it off with an ace, to go ahead 3-1 in the set. In other matches, Radek Stepanek of the Czech Republic upset Alexandr Dolgopolov of Ukraine 6-3, 6-1 ; former world No. 2 Tommy Haas of Germany stopped David Nalbandian of Argentina 6-2, 6-7 (11), 6-3; and Juan Monaco of Argentina outlasted Vasek Pospisil of Canada 7-5, 6-4.

Organizations stand firm in opposition despite illegal bets ‘going on in every state.’ By KATIE ZEZIMA Associated Press Writer

NEWARK, N.J. — The NCAA and the four major professional leagues sued New Jersey on Tuesday, saying the state’s plan to allow sports betting violates federal law and threatens the “character and integrity” of sporting events. Major League Baseball, the National Basketball Association, the National Hockey League, the National Football league and the NCAA filed the lawsuit in federal court in Trenton. The leagues say New Jersey’s proposal to allow sports betting is “in clear and flagrant violation” of a 1992 federal law, the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act, which restricts betting on collegiate and professional games to four states: Delaware, Montana, Nevada and Oregon. New Jersey was given a chance to become the fifth state, but declined to act during a yearlong window from 1993 to 1994. Gov. Chris Christie signed a law in January to allow sports betting at New Jersey’s 12 casinos, four racetracks and on the site of a closed racetrack. In May, he said he would move forward with the regulations without attempting to get the 1992 law overturned. The regulations were published in July and are expected to become effective within the next two months. Christie on Tuesday predicted the state would prevail. “I don’t believe that the federal government has the right to decide that only certain states can have sports gambling. On what basis?” Christie said. “And it doesn’t acknowledge that there is illegal sports gambling going on in every state in America, as we

speak. So why is this more injurious than illegal sports gambling to the operations of the league or the NCAA?” The fight could continue in other venues. A bill is pending in the California Assembly to allow sports betting, and U.S. Rep. Frank LoBindo, R-N.J., sponsored a federal bill that would give states a four-year window to enact legislation to allow for it. The New Jersey law allows casinos and racetracks to operate sports betting pools that are approved by the state Division of Gaming Enforcement and the New Jersey Racing Commission. The state constitution prohibits gambling on collegiate athletic events taking place in New Jersey and where one or more New Jersey team is competing. The Casino Association of New Jersey said in a statement Tuesday that the casinos should “be legally able to offer sports betting as do our counterparts in Nevada.”

Hamels scares a loss out of Braves The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Cole Hamels threw a five-hitter for his fifth career shutout and Ryan Howard hit a tworun homer as Philadelphia beat Atlanta 3-0 on Tuesday night to snap a seven-game losing streak against the Braves. Hamels (12-6) struck out six and didn’t walk a batter to record his 11th career complete game and his first win in three tries since signing a $144 million, six-year contract on July 25. The All-Star left-hander is 4-5 since going 8-1 in the first two months of the season. Mike Minor (6-8) took the loss for the wild card-leading Braves, who had won eight of 10. Minor allowed three runs and seven hits in seven innings. The Phillies scored all their runs in the first inning. Jimmy Rollins led off with a double down the left-field line. Domonic Brown lined a double to left-center, hustling his way to second and sliding headfirst to reach safely because the ball was dropped. After an out, Howard drove an opposite-field shot out to left-center to make it 3-0. Diamondbacks 10, Pirates 4

PITTSBURGH — Chris Johnson homered in the eighth and ninth innings, giving him five in eight games since being acquired in a trade by Arizona. Johnson’s homer in the eighth capped a four-run rally against Jason Grilli (1-4) that put Arizona ahead 7-4. Pittsburgh had just taken a 4-3 lead with two runs in the seventh. Miguel Montero doubled in a run in the ninth before Johnson hit a two-run homer off Chris Resop to seal the

victory for Arizona, which had lost three straight. Marlins 4, Mets 2

NEW YORK — Jose Reyes extended his hitting streak to a career-high 25 games with an infield single that set up Miami’s big inning, and the Marlins extended New York’s home losing skid to a month. Booed again at Citi Field, Reyes beat out a trickler that helped the Marlins score four times in the fourth. The former Mets All-Star shortstop has the longest hitting string in the majors this year. Giancarlo Stanton hit a sacrifice fly for the Marlins after being activated from the disabled list. Brewers 3, Reds 1

MILWAUKEE — Brewers rookie Mike Fiers took a perfect game into the seventh inning and Aramis Ramirez hit a two-run homer off Johnny Cueto to lead Milwaukee over the Cincinnati Reds 3-1 on Tuesday night. Fiers (6-4) retired his first 18 batters before Zack Cozart doubled to left-center leading off the seventh. He advanced to third on a fly ball and scored on Brandon Phillips’ sacrifice fly. ST. LOUIS — Buster Posey continued his second-half tear with a three-run homer, Barry Zito pitched 62⁄3 innings of two-run ball and the San Francisco Giants defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 4-2 Tuesday night. Posey leads the major leagues with a .448 batting average and 30 RBIs since the All-Star break, including 12 in his last six games. The home run extended his hitting streak to 11 games.

Cabrera helps Tigers snatch win from Yanks DETROIT — Miguel Cabrera homered and drove in three runs, and the Detroit Tigers held off the New York Yankees 6-5 on Tuesday night for their sixth straight victory. New York scored twice off closer Jose Valverde in the ninth inning and had runners at second and third when Curtis Granderson popped up for the final out. The AL East leaders have lost 12 of 18. Cabrera has moved into the MVP race by hitting .333 since the All-Star break with 11 homers and 24 RBIs in 24 games. Andy Dirks added three hits and two RBIs for the Tigers, who are chasing the firstplace White Sox in the AL Central. Rick Porcello (9-6) picked up the win, allowing three runs and eight hits in 62⁄3 innings. He struck out three and didn’t walk a batter. Rays 4, Blue Jays 1

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — James Shields threw eight strong innings, Evan Longoria drove in a run in his return from an injury, and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Toronto Blue Jays 4-1 on Tuesday night. Shields (10-7) allowed one run and two hits. The righthander was coming off a threehit shutout last Tuesday at Oakland. Rangers 6, Red Sox 3

BOSTON — Ryan Dempster rebounded from a rough debut with Texas by pitching shutout ball into the seventh inning, Ian Kinsler had a pair of RBI singles and the Rangers snapped a two-game losing streak with a 6-3 win over the

Boston Red Sox on Tuesday night. Josh Hamilton and Nelson Cruz each had two hits and drove in a run for Texas. Will Middlebrooks had a pinch-hit three-run homer for the Red Sox, who have lost five of seven. The AL West-leading Rangers have lost three straight only three times this season. Royals 5, White Sox 2

CHICAGO — Bruce Chen outpitched Jake Peavy for his first win in six weeks, Billy Butler hit his career-high 22nd homer and the Kansas City Royals beat the Chicago White Sox 5-2 on Tuesday night. The White Sox had won 10 of 13 but saw their lead over Detroit in the AL Central shrink to a half game with the Tigers beating the New York Yankees 6-5 earlier in the night. Gordon Beckham hit his first career leadoff homer for Chicago, and the White Sox scored again in the sixth after Kansas City tied it in the top half. But RBI singles by Tony Abreu and Alex Gordon off Peavy (9-8) in the seventh gave Kansas City a 3-2 lead. Twins 7, Indians 5

CLEVELAND — Tsuyoshi Nishioka’s sacrifice fly scored the go-ahead run in the ninth inning and the Minnesota Twins rallied for a 7-5 victory over Cleveland, sending the Indians to their 11th straight loss. Minnesota scored three times off All-Star closer Chris Perez (0-4), who blew his second save opportunity in three days.

Sudden turnaround for US

aggie Steffens scored four goals and the U.S. outlasted Australia to M win 11-9 in extra time and advance to

women’s water polo final at the London Olympics. In a bruising match between the two favorites in London, Australia’s Southern Ash converted a penalty with one second left on the clock in regulation to tie the match 9-9 and force extra time. The officials awarded the penalty after U.S. coach Adam Krikorian called a time-out without his team having possession of the ball. Steffens put the U.S. ahead in the first of two three-minute extra-time periods with a skip shot, and Kami Craig followed up with another goal to give the Americans another shot at their first gold medal in the event.

BOXING

An American shutout

The U.S. men’s boxing team is heading home with no Olympic medals for the first time. Welterweight Errol Spence dropped a 16-11 decision to Russia’s Andrey Zamkovoy in the quarterfinals on Tuesday night. Spence represented the last chance for the most successful team in Olympic boxing history to add to its record 108 medals. Instead, the Dallas-area fighter started slowly and never got going in his team’s ninth loss in 10 fights. EQUESTRIAN

Brits tops in dressage

Britain ended Germany’s decadeslong domination of team dressage by winning the gold at Greenwich Park, adding to its first team show jumping gold in 60 years, which it won a day earlier. Germany took the silver and the Netherlands got the bronze. The competition received unusual attention at the London Games because the U.S. team featured Rafalca, a horse co-owned by the wife of the Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. The U.S. was sixth and Rafalca, ridden by Jan Ebeling, finished in 28th place. DIVING

Sweep denied by Russia

Ilya Zakharov of Russia scored 104.50 points on his last dive to win the 3-meter springboard, stopping China’s bid to sweep all eight diving events. Zakharov totaled 555.90 points in the six-round final. China’s Qin Kai settled for silver at 541.75, and He Chong, the defending champion and Qin’s teammate, earned the bronze. Troy Dumais of the U.S. finished fifth, his best showing in four Olympics. SAILING

Final medals awarded

Windsurfing made a spirited games exit, with Dorian Van Rijsselberge of the Netherlands collecting the men’s gold medal he had clinched days earlier and Marina Alabau of Spain winning the women’s regatta. Windsurfing got the heave-ho from the lineup for the 2016 Rio Olympics in May, replaced by kiteboarding. TRIATHLON

UK brothers reach podium

It was a family affair for the men’s triathlon, with Alistair Brownlee taking the gold for Britain and younger brother Jonathan finishing third. Alistair Brownlee pulled away from Javier Gomez of Spain halfway through the 10-kilometer run to finish in 1 hour, 46 minutes, 25 seconds. Gomez took silver, and Jonathan Brownlee secured the bronze despite serving a 15-second time penalty.

MANCHESTER, England — One match to go for Brazil. Only Mexico stands in the way of its first Olympic gold in football. Brazil moved a step closer to winning the elusive medal by beating South Korea 3-0 Tuesday and reaching the final of the men’s Olympic tournament for the first time in 24 years. It will face Mexico, which defeated Japan 3-1 at Wembley to advance to its first Olympic final. Brazil was the bronze-medalist in 2008 in Beijing but hadn’t

2012 LONDON OLYMPIC GAMES

American women crush Canadians The United States’ women’s basketball team has won its last 39 Olympic matchups. By DOUG FEINBERG AP Basketball Writer

LONDON — The defense was stifling, even suffocating at times. The U.S. women put on a clinic Tuesday, forcing the Canadians to take bad shots or not allowing them to shoot at all. The Americans, who cruised into the semifinals of the Olympic basketball tournament with a 91-48 rout, harassed Canada into three shotclock violations in the first 7 minutes. “It’s one thing to miss a shot, but to not be able to get a shot off says a lot about your defense,” U.S. coach Geno Auriemma said. “It’s a double whammy. It brings

your team closer together because it took all five guys to create that and takes the life out of the ofUP NEXT fense of the other team.” Semifinals: USA vs. The AmeriAustralia cans cruised inNoon, to the semifiThursday, nals of the NBC Sports Olympic basNetwork ketball tournament with a 9148 rout of Canada. While the four-time defending gold medalists seemingly couldn’t miss in their last game — a 114-66 rout of China — they were sloppy early on against Canada. So they turned to their defense. “That’s probably a better feel-

ing than making a 3, when as a unit you found a way to stop them as a unit,” said Diana Taurasi, who led the U.S. with 15 points. “That’s really hard to do because to get a shot off isn’t the hardest thing, it might not be a quality one, but you can get a shot off.” The Americans forced 26 turnovers and were off and running. “We really were in sync defensively,” Candace Parker said. “Everyone knows that this team can score a lot of points, but we were locked in defensively and that will be huge going forward.” The U.S. held Canada to the fewest points it has given up in an Olympic quarterfinals since beating Slovakia 58-43 in 2000. “We get steals. We get deflections. We get rebounds, kick the ball out and here we go. We’re rolling.” said U.S. forward Tamika Catchings, who had four

steals. Next up for the U.S. in the semifinals on Thursday is Australia, which the U.S. has beaten in the last three gold medal games. Russia will face France in the other semifinal. The Americans haven’t lost to Canada since playing in the world championship in 1975. The victory was their 39th straight in Olympic play and came 20 years to the day after the win that started the streak — a 88-74 victory over Cuba for the bronze medal in the 1992 Barcelona Games. Canada, which was the final team to qualify for the London Games, made its first appearance in the Olympic quarterfinals. The Canadians looked timid against the Americans’ pressure defense at the start. Taurasi said locking teams up defensively “has to be our focus.” Despite its stellar defense, the

I want to win tomorrow for us.” A few hours later, Kessy and Ross beat the top-seeded Brazilians in a persistent rain to join their fellow Californians in Wednesday night’s final. Ross and Kessy rallied from a first-set loss and a four-point deficit in the second to beat reigning world champions Juliana and Larissa 15-21, 21-19, 15-12.

going to nickname her “Four” for all the times she’s just missed the podium. But her steadiness and reliability have made her a favorite of national team coordinator Martha Karolyi, and that consistency paid off big in London. “She’s a very hard worker. She’s a very, very hard worker,” coach Mihai Brestyan said. “She’s the most consistent gymnast we have for the last three years. ... She’s not all-over perfect like Gabby except on her good days, but I think she gets what she deserves on the events.” Raisman was dismayed at falling just short of the podium in last week’s all-around competition. She and Aliya Mustafina fin-

ished with the same score, but the Russian got the bronze on a tiebreak. So it was more than a little satisfying to wind up on the right end of the rules Tuesday, bumping Catalina Ponor out of the bronze on balance beam. “A gold medal is a gold medal, but I definitely felt like (beam) was redemption from the other night in the all-around,” Raisman said. “I was in the same exact position, but it went in my favor this time.” Raisman initially finished fourth with a score of 14.966. But she questioned it, and judges added an extra tenth to her routine’s difficulty after a review. That gave her and Ponor identi-

cal scores of 15.066, but Raisman got the bronze because her execution score was higher — 8.766 to Ponor’s 8.466. “It’s a huge payback,” Brestyan said. “She was a little bit disappointed after the all around. It takes us two days to put her head back and it was hard work, but she stood up and today it was exactly what she was waiting for.” And it freed her to let loose on floor exercise, her best event. “I felt like I had nothing to lose,” Raisman said. “It was going to be my last memory for London, so I just wanted to make it count and enjoy it.” Her tumbling passes were some of the most difficult, and she reached such great height

that high-jumpers would be envious. Her landings were not only secure, one was so powerful it all but shook the floor. Brestyan was hopping up and down and pumping his fist as she finished, and even Raisman was impressed with herself, mouthing “wow” after she saluted the judges. When her score, a 15.6, was posted, teammate McKayla Maroney yelled “whoa!” so loudly from the stands it could be heard across the arena. Five gymnasts followed her, but none came close. When reigning Olympic champion Sandra Izbasa landed her final tumbling run on her head, Raisman let herself exhale. And smile. “It was definitely the best floor routine that I’ve ever done,” she said. “To have it be at the Olympic Games, in the finals, is just really amazing and just a dream come true. That’s what you work for your whole life.” For Douglas, the end of the Olympics wasn’t nearly as successful as the start. No surprise, really, after the whirlwind her life has become. Media from all over the world want a piece of her, and celebs have been flooding her Twitter timeline, eager to be her new BFF. She admitted after Monday’s lackluster showing on bars — she was last — that it was all catching up with her. “I’m definitely not going to lie. It was definitely hard to regain your focus,” Douglas said. “You’re like, ’Yes, I’m the Olympic champion. I’m a world champion.’ It’s definitely kind of hard to turn the chapter for event finals.”

are trying to repeat their bronze medal finish from Beijing. Despite a medal shutout by the American men, the United States has clinched multiple beach volleyball medals for the fourth time in five Olympiads since it became a recognized sport in 1996. Already the most-decorated team in the brief history of Olympic beach volleyball, Walsh Jennings and May-Treanor are guaranteed at least a silver medal. No one — man or woman — had ever won two beach volleyball gold medals before they became repeat champions in Beijing, and until now, no woman had won three Olympic medals of any color.

“I had a picture in my head at the beginning of the season of how I wanted us to play, and we’re living that picture,” Walsh Jennings said. “But it’s not over yet.” Earlier Tuesday, Brazil’s Emanuel and Alison defeated Latvia to advance to the men’s gold medal game. They will meet the winner of the last match, between the Netherlands and Germany. Walsh Jennings and May-Treanor won gold medals in Athens and Beijing without ever losing a match — in their first two Olympics, they never even lost a set — and they ran their unbeaten streak to 20 in a row with a victory Tuesday. But they gave up the

first three points of the semifinal and fell behind 13-7 in the first set. China saved two set points before Xue put one into the net tape to give the first set to the Americans. The Americans held a slim lead most of the second, but China took the lead 17-16 and forced the Americans to take a timeout. Trailing 19-18, May-Treanor ran far behind the end line to retrieve an errant pass and bumped it toward the net — too close — forcing Walsh Jennings to slide under the net, delicately bumping the ball over and to an unoccupied area on the Chinese portion of the court. “They’re a great team. They

make you do crazy stuff like that,” Walsh Jennings said. “That was just funky. Misty ran down the ball and I think I got a little lucky on that one. But you need luck and I think you create your own luck, and that’s what you get when you don’t give up.” The Americans saved one set point, but May-Treanor fisted one to the back line to set up a match point, then Walsh Jennings’ block fell to the sand and she leapt into the air to celebrate. In the early men’s semifinal, the reigning world champions from Brazil beat Martins Plavins and Janis Smedins 21-15, 22-20 to clinch no worse than silver. It is Emanuel’s third straight medal, but a first for Alison.

two Olympic gold medals and a couple of titles under my belt. I’m so happy for Aly. She deserves to be up on that podium.” Not so happy was Jordyn Wieber, who leaves without a single individual medal after finishing seventh on floor exercise. The Olympics have been one bummer after another for the world champion. She arrived as the favorite to amass the most medals, but failed to even qualify for the all-around. Now she’s got six weeks in a walking boot to look forward to with what is believed to be a stress fracture in her right leg. “It’s a little bit of disappointment overall,” Wieber said. “But at the same time, leaving with a gold medal is more than I could ask for, and it’s so cool to be a part of that team.” China wrapped up with four gold medals after Deng Linlin won balance beam and Feng Zhe claimed the title on parallel bars. Epke Zonderland won gold on high bar, the first medal for a Dutch man and only the second Olympic medal overall for the Netherlands in the sport. As for Raisman, it seems only fitting that she leaves London with the most medals of the Americans. The 18-year-old has long been overlooked. She doesn’t have Douglas’ bubbly personality or her bright smile, and she seems almost mechanical in comparison. Raisman doesn’t have Wieber’s resume, either. U.S. coach John Geddert joked that he was

Hoy’s 6th gold sets UK record By DAVE SKRETTA AP Sports Writer

LONDON — Six times track cyclist Chris Hoy has stood atop the podium at the Olympics, more than any other athlete from Britain. This one was the sweetest of them all. In the final event of his final Summer Olympics, the reigning champion in the keirin rallied over the final lap to secure one Hoy more victory for his resume. Hoy’s gold medal gave Britain seven out of 10 awarded at the London Velodrome, matching its haul from the Beijing Games. “Because this is the end, the last Olympics I’m doing, the last Olympic medal I can win, the nature of the whole event,” Hoy said, “this one was probably the best.” The 36-year-old Hoy said he’d like to keep competing through the 2014 Commonwealth Games in his native Scotland, but said he was “99.9 percent sure” that this was his final Olympics. “This is the perfect end to my Olympic career,” he said. “At Sydney, I was just over the moon with a silver medal. If I’d have stopped then, I would have been a happy boy, but to go on to Athens, Beijing and here, I can’t put it into words.” Hoy said he was struggling to keep his emotions in check as “God Save the Queen” was played once more, and the British flag was raised over the velodrome infield. Maximilian Levy of Germany settled for the silver medal, and Simon van Velthooven of New Zealand and Teun Mulder of the Netherlands were both awarded bronze when a photo finish could not decide third place in a race decided by hundredths of a second.

PHILADELPHIA EAGLES

Service held for Reid’s son

Notables from NFL, including former Eagles stars, attended funeral for Garrett Reid, 29. By ROB MAADDI AP Pro Football Writer

BROOMALL — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, Browns President Mike Holmgren and Patriots coach Bill Belichick were among more than 900 people who packed a Mormon church for the funeral service of Garrett Reid, son of Eagles coach Andy Reid. Garrett Reid was found dead in his dorm room Sunday morning at Lehigh University, where he was assisting the Eagles strength and conditioning coach during train-

ing camp. The 29-year-old recovering drug addict had seemingly turned his life around. Many current and former players, coaches and other league officials traveled from all across the country to pay their respects Tuesday morning at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The list included Ravens coach John Harbaugh, Saints interim coach Joe Vitt and defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, Colts general manager Ryan Grigson and Browns general manager Tom Heckert. “Andy prides himself on being a rock. All of us in this business have to be like that a little bit,” Holmgren said. “But when it comes to something as personal as this, his

humanness and who he is comes out, and that’s OK. He reacted like every other father would react.” Holmgren called Reid, the first coach he hired in Green Bay, the “son I never had.” One of Holmgren’s four daughters used to babysit Reid’s children. He said young Garrett was a “rambunctious guy” with a “great personality.” The receiving line was so long that it wrapped around the church and delayed the start of the service for more than an hour. Andy Reid was at the front of the line with his wife Tammy, sons Britt and Spencer and daughters Crosby and Drew Ann. “He was comforting us,” said Harbaugh, a former assistant under Reid. “He wrapped me up in a

big bear hug, and he told me everything was going to be alright. That’s the Andy I know.” Buses brought Eagles players and team employees from camp at Lehigh and the NovaCare practice complex in Philadelphia. Donovan McNabb, Brian Westbrook and Jeremiah Trotter were among Reid’s former players in attendance. Some residents in the quaint neighborhood stood outside their homes along the street across from the church with signs offering condolences. Garrett’s uncle Bart Winters, husband of Tammy Reid’s sister, Cindy Winters, delivered the eulogy. Crosby Reid sang Garrett’s favorite hymn: “My Heavenly Father

Loves Me.” “The one thing I took from the service more than anything was that Garrett was a friend of everybody,” Harbaugh said. “The kids at school that were kind of struggling a little bit, he was their friend. The guys that were picked last for the

basketball team, he was their friend. He would take everybody under his wing. That’s a trait I think he gets from Andy.” Reid missed two days of practice, but plans to coach Thursday night’s preseason opener against Pittsburgh.

Kolb’s injury minor; Jets get punishment The Associated Press

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. — Arizona Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt calls Kevin Kolb’s injury minor and expects the quarterback to play in Friday’s preseason game against Kansas City. Kolb left Sunday’s Hall of Fame game with bruised ribs and was limited in practice Tuesday. Kolb is locked in a tight battle with John Skelton for the starting job. He started but was intercepted on his first throw in Sunday’s 17-10 loss to New Orleans. His lone completion came on his final throw, the first play of his third series, and the play on which he was injured. Against New Orleans, Kolb completed 1 of 4 passes for four yards. Skelton was 4 of 6 for 32 yards. The Cardinals worked out jointly with the Chiefs on Tuesday at Kansas City’s practice facility at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph’s. They chose to go to Missouri rather than travel all the way from Canton, Ohio, to Arizona, then back to Kansas City for a game just five days later. Skelton will start against the Chiefs, a decision that was made before Kolb was hurt. The Cardinals also activated running back Beanie Wells from the physically unable to perform list prior to Tuesday’s practice. Like Kolb, Wells participated in the walk-through portion of practice but did not take part in any drills. Coming off his first 1,000yard season, the fourth-year pro from Ohio State has not practiced while recovering from surgery on his right knee. New York Jets CORTLAND, N.Y. — A day after a 20-player brawl highlighted a chippy practice, Jets coach Rex Ryan had his players run a series of sprints Tuesday as punishment for a few minor scuffles on the field. With most of the media off to the side speaking with team owner Woody Johnson, a few players got into it and Ryan immediately called the team together. He shouted at his players and then had them run gassers — sprints from sideline to sideline — for at least 10 minutes. Ryan watched as his players

did each lap, and then spoke to his team again in a raised tone before resuming practice. Cleveland Browns BEREA, Ohio — Trent Richardson may miss his first game for the Cleveland Browns. The highly regarded rookie was not in pads, his left leg was wrapped, and he did not participate in practice at all on Tuesday. “There’s a chance he won’t play on Friday,” coach Pat Shurmur said. “He’s got a sore knee and is being evaluated.” It could be the result of going full-bore the past two weeks on a knee that was surgically repaired this spring. That’s one of the reasons Richardson did not fully participate in the NFL combine in April. It didn’t keep Cleveland from trading up to No. 3 in the draft to select the tailback who helped lead Alabama to the national championship. Seattle Seahawks RENTON, Wash. — For this week, Matt Flynn is the Seattle Seahawks starting quarterback. Coach Pete Carroll announced after practice on Tuesday that Flynn will be the starter on Saturday night when the Seahawks open the preseason at home against Tennessee. Flynn will play the first half after getting snaps with the No. 1 offense the rest of this week. Additionally, rookie Russell Wilson will play the second half against the Titans. Indianapolis Colts ANDERSON, Ind. — Andrew Luck isn’t sure how much he’ll play in Sunday’s preseason opener, and he’s not lobbying for more time. The No. 1 overall draft pick was asked Tuesday about his expectations for his first NFL game. Indy’s new franchise quarterback says he’ll let new coach Chuck Pagano and offensive coordinator Bruce Arians make the call because he trusts their judgment.

LATROBE — Steelers rookie offensive linemen David DeCastro and Mike Adams have endured the grind of NFL training camp for two weeks, all along just waiting for the opportunity to “hit someone else.” Well, worry not. Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin said they won’t have too long to do so come Thursday night. Tomlin on Tuesday officially named DeCastro and Adams starters for Pittsburgh’s preseason opener in Philadelphia

against the Eagles. DeCastro, the No. 24 overall draft pick, will start at right guard. Adams, the second-round pick, will be at left tackle. “They’ve had good moments and some not-so-good moments,” Tomlin said. “That is the process that is team development and individual development. But both guys have worked extremely hard, both guys finish and they’re smart young men. We’ll see more about them, and of course we’ll know more about them by Thursday night.” The Steelers have high hopes for their top two draft picks and were open to either or both being in the lineup for the season opener Sept. 9 at Denver. It’s uncharacteristic, however,

for Pittsburgh to start rookies for the preseason opener. The team has started a rookie on the offensive line each of the past two seasons, but center Maurkice Pouncey wasn’t named a starter until the third preseason game in 2010 and Marcus Gilbert didn’t take over at right tackle last season until the second game of the regular season. Gilbert was given the job when Willie Colon was put on injured reserve due to a torn triceps. It was an injury to Colon — this time, a more minor one — that opened up the start for DeCastro. One of two Steelers ruled out already for the Eagles due to injury — defensive end Cameron Heyward the other — Colon injured an ankle Friday. Ramon

Foster was moved over to Colon’s new left guard spot, leaving right guard open for DeCastro. “It came up quick,” DeCastro said. “I’m excited to get ready to go and ready to hit someone else other than the Steelers. I just want to have fun, play the game and enjoy it.” DeCastro protected No. 1 overall pick, quarterback Andrew Luck, at Stanford. The Steelers were elated he fell to them on draft day after many projections had DeCastro going much higher. Pittsburgh snared a similar perceived steal of Adams in Round 2. But that one was likely more due to the fact Adams’ stock plummeted after he tested positive for marijuana at the NFL Combine.

DENVER BRONCOS

Star QB Manning ready for first action in 19 months By ARNIE STAPLETON AP Pro Football Writer

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos are treating their visit to Chicago on Thursday night just like any other preseason opener. Only, it isn’t. This marks the four-time MVP’s first game of any sort since Jan. 30, 2011, when he went 2for-5 for 12 yards and an interception in the AFC’s 55-41 loss to the NFC in the Pro Bowl. “I think he’s anxious to get in there, just like all of our starters,” coach John Fox said Tuesday. Anybody who wants to see Manning’s first game in 18 months had better tune in early because he won’t have much more than a cameo appearance at

Soldier Field. “Well, we don’t get into how much we’re going to do but we’ll approach it much like any first preseason games,” Fox said. “Our first unit will go the first quarter — about — and the seconds will go the second and third quarters, and the third will finish out the fourth quarter.” That’s fine with Manning. “We’d like to get a drive or two going,” Manning said. “I’ve always said you love to get a bit of everything in the preseason if you can. You love to get some shortyardage work, some third-down conversions, you’d love to get some red zone, goal line. In all four games, if you can get all the situations that we work on out here, that would be ideal. “So, however long we play, or

whatever Coach Fox wants to do, we’re good with. We just need to play well when we’re out there.” Manning missed all of last season with a nerve injury in his neck that weakened his throwing arm and led to his tearful release from the Indianapolis Colts that set off the biggest free agent frenzy in NFL history. He landed in Denver and hasn’t looked back. Throughout offseason workouts, minicamp and training camp with the Broncos, Manning has had plenty of zip on his passes and he’s been as accurate and cerebral as ever. Even Tuesday, when he had his AP PHOTO share of incompletions against an ever-improving, first-string de- Denver Broncos quarterback fense, Manning was sharp in his Peyton Manning looks to throw Saturday in Denver. decisions.

June job openings up 3.8M

B R I E F

Report: Home prices spike

Real estate industry data analyst CoreLogic said Tuesday that sale prices of residential property in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area rose 8 percent in June compared to a year earlier, excluding distressed sales. With distressed sales included, prices rose 4.3 percent. Distressed sales are properties in foreclosure or otherwise forced to the market. Nationally, sale prices excluding distressed sales rose 3.2 percent over a year; the increase was 2.5 percent when distressed sales are included. In Pennsylvania, the increases were 1.5 percent and 1.1 percent, respectively.

By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER AP Economics Writer

WASHINGTON — The Labor Department said Tuesday job openings rose to a seasonally adjusted 3.8 million in June, up from 3.7 million in May. That’s the most since July 2008. Layoffs fell. The data follow Friday’s report that said employers in July added the most jobs in five months. A rise in openings could signal better hiring in the coming months. It typically takes one to three months to fill a job. Even with the increase, hiring is competitive. There were 12.7 million unemployed people in June, or an average of 3.4 unemployed people for each job. That’s down a bit from May and much lower than the nearly 7-to-1 ratio in July 2009, just after the recession ended. In a healthy job market, the ratio is usually around 2 to 1. Still, employers have been slow to fill open positions. Since the recession ended in 2009, openings have increased 57 percent. Overall hiring is up only 19 percent. And openings still are below pre-recession levels of nearly 4 million per month. The economy has generated an average of 150,000 jobs per month this year, about the same pace as 2011. That’s not enough to rapidly drive down the unemployment rate. The unemployment rate ticked up to 8.3 percent in July from 8.2 percent in June. The government’s monthly employment report, released last Friday, measures net hiring. Tuesday’s report, known as the Job Openings and Labor Turnover survey, shows the amount of hiring and firing that takes place in the U.S. each month. It provides more details than the monthly jobs report. For example, layoffs dropped to 1.8 million in June, from nearly 2 million in May. June’s total is below pre-recession levels and indicates that companies aren’t cutting more jobs, despite sluggish growth.

CVS earnings up 18.4%

CVS Caremark Corp.’s second-quarter net income jumped 18.4 percent, as its drugstores took business from rival Walgreen Co. and an expansion of its pharmacy benefits management segment boosted revenue. CVS Caremark earned $966 million, or 75 cents per share. Revenue grew 16 percent to $30.71 billion. The company now expects 2012 adjusted earnings of between $3.32 and $3.38 per share, up from its previous forecast of $3.23 to $3.33 per share.

Mohegan Sun adds Atlantic City casino to family

Credit card use down 5%

By RON BARTIZEK rbartizek@timesleader.com

Americans cut back on credit card use in June, further evidence that high unemployment and slow growth has made consumers more cautious about spending. A category of borrowing that includes auto and student loans increased 7 percent to $1.71 trillion, raising total borrowing 3 percent to $2.58 trillion in June from May. That’s just below the all-time high reached in July 2008.

The addition of Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City to the Mohegan Sun family of gambling venues will be a “win-win” for the three properties, including Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, Mitchell Etess, CEO of the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority said Tuesday. Speaking a short time after the authority announced a management contract and investment agreement with Resorts, Etess predicted that a cross-marketing system among Resorts, the Plains Township facility and the company’s flagship Mohegan Sun Casino Resort in Connecticut would benefit all three. “We know that we can drive business here,” Etess said. “There are people at Pocono Downs who are already going to Atlantic City.”

Freddie Mac makes profit

Government-controlled housing finance giant Freddie Mac on Tuesday reported a $3 billion profit for the second quarter of the year and said it would not request additional federal aid for the period to stay afloat. The improving housing market meant Freddie Mac set aside $1.7 billion less than it did in the first three months of the year for loan losses, which improved the government-owned company’s bottom line. Freddie Mac posted a $577 million profit in the first quarter and needed $19 million from the government.

In a survey of customers, Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs patrons said they would go to Resorts rather than other Atlantic City casinos if reward points and complimentary amenities were accepted there, Etess said. Casino industry consultant James Karmel says Mohegan Sun may be seeking to become one of the major players in Atlantic City, where casinos have struggled for years. “You’re probably looking at consolidation,” he said. Etess said a refinancing of Mohegan Sun debt earlier this year “left money in our models to be able to do things like this.” He declined to specify the investment being made in Resorts. Despite the falloff in business at Atlantic City’s casinos – caused in large part by the opening of compet-

itors in Pennsylvania starting in 2006 – Etess said “a tremendous amount of things are happening that are very positive” in private and public investment. Resorts opened in 1978 as the first place to gamble legally in the U.S. outside of Nevada. It was sold in 2010 to Dennis Gomes and Morris Bailey for $31.5 million. Last month, Resorts announced a new venture, teaming with Jimmy Buffett to develop a Margaritavillebranded entertainment complex in part of the casino. The Mohegan Sun’s Connecticut casino already has a Buffett-themed restaurant. Etess said the addition of Resorts could expand opportunities for employees to advance between the various properties.

Since July 1, we’ve had only two days when the high temperature stayed below 80 degrees. That will probably happen later this week, but certainly not today and Thursday. In fact, today will be hotter than Tuesday, but the chances for rain will remain low. A weakening cold front will try to push through on Thursday, then stall to allow a wave of low pressure to approach. This could bring periods of rain our way, especially late Friday into Saturday morning. Some heavy rain is also possible then. Since June 1, our rainfall is still running about 1 inch to 2 inches below normal. - Tom Clark

CHEF’S CORNER WILLIAM MIKE LS KI J R. THE CAFÉ, AN AMERICAN BISTRO

By JUDY HEVRDEJS

A grainy mustard spices up a salmon

Chicago Tribune

f your relationship with chicken began with nuggets andstalledamidthesupermarket’splastic-sealedtrays of skinless/boneless breasts, we have a bone to pick with you. • It’s time to give bone-in chicken a chance, from the whole bird to the especially flavorful (and often less pricey) legs and thighs. • “The dark meat is the way poultry should really taste. It just evokes that beautiful flavor,” says chef Hugh Acheson, who has several Georgia restaurants including Five and Ten and Empire State South.

Acheson, a cookbook author and Bravo “Top Chef” judge, understands the low-fat benefits of boneless, skinless chicken breast. “But everything in moderation. I want to equate my life to eating the most flavor I can, and flavor is really found in the dark meat. “Ihaveafamilyoffour,”headds. “If I take four good chicken thighs and fry them or roast them in the oven really simply in a cast-iron pan and serve it with a bunch of sides, that’s enough protein for us. ... That small amount of beautiful dark-meat protein is definitely going to be a good meal.” And you’ll often find bone-in thighs and legs are juicier than way-too-dry white meat. At Yardbird Southern Table & Bar in Miami Beach, Fla., executive chef Jeff McInnis offers free-

range chickens and Poulet Rouge birds from North Carolina. He favors bone-in poultry. “The meat is going to be richer and taste more likethebird,”hesays.“Theboneis sort of like an insulator (that) keeps some of the juices in. That’s what keeps a lot of the flavor in.” When grilling a bone-in bird, McInnis browns it close to the coals, then moves it up onto a rack (or away from the coals) before letting it slow cook until done. “You want to get it away from the coals and basically your grill will act like an oven,” he says. Acheson has another reason to consider adding a platter of bonein chicken to your meal rotation. When he oven-roasts a whole See GRILLED, Page 3C

Grilled Pesto Chicken served with Berry Salad makes for a quick summer meal.

Make a meal out of three-step pesto chicken By SUSAN M. SELASKY Detroit Free Press

ccording to Weber’s GrillWatch survey, and not surprising, chicken is the second most popular grilling food — after hamburgers. But I often hear complaints about grilled chicken, mainly breasts, which can easily overcook and turn dry. Chicken breasts are very lean, and any lean cut of poultry or meat will tend to dry out during cooking. The darker meat in chicken drumsticks and thighs has more fat and tends to be more forgiving. So, the first recommendation is to have an instant-read thermometer handy. Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees. It also helps to brine or marinate chicken first and to grill it with the skin on.

THIS SALMON dish is a light and refreshing option for dinner in the summertime. The components in the pommery mustard topping pair well with the salmon, which can be served over a bed of wild rice. Pommery is a spicy, wholegrain mustard from France that usually comes in white earthenware crocks. The specific type might be hard to find locally or even nationally, as it’s a pricy import, which is why this recipe calls for any type of coarse-grained mustard, to mimic the classic pommery style. Pommery is made in Meaux, France, and is similar to Dijon, which is made nearby. For true pommery flavor, the visible grains are key. •••

See PESTO, Page 3C

POMMERY SALMON 4 salmon filets, 7 to 8 ounces each 2 bags cleaned spinach POMMERY SALMON TOPPING 1 cup coarse-grained mustard 2 tablespoons salad mustard 3 tablespoons capers (rinse and drain well) 3 teaspoons dried dill 1 splash olive oil 1 splash dry white wine 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 small shallot, minced Salt Cracked pepper Mix all topping ingredients well and lightly coat top of salmon filets. Bake at 350 degrees for 14-18 minutes in shallow pan with chicken stock. When salmon is finished, sauté 6 cups of stemmed spinach in olive oil. Drain well. Serve salmon over sautéed spinach.

PESTO

GRILLED

Continued from Page 1C

You can always remove the skin after grilling. When you’re ready to grill, prepare a two-zone fire or preheat for cooking over indirect heat, meaning that you will cook the chicken away from the heat source. For charcoal, that means bank the coals on one side. For gas, turn on all the burners to preheat the grill. If it has three burners, shut off the middle one when it’s preheated. This is so you don’t get a blast of heat, cooking the outside of the chicken too quickly and leaving the inside undercooked. There will be enough heat to crisp the skin with this arrangement. Today’s recipe is adapted from Cook’s Country magazine, the sister publication of Cook’s Illustrated magazine. It uses different versions of a pesto — without cheese for the marinade, with cheese for the stuffing and with more olive oil for the serving sauce. It’s a threestep process but takes little time. This pesto recipe doesn’t call for the traditional pine nuts, but you could add them if you like. I added some parsley along with the basil. When basil is cut, it tends to darken, so the parsley helps keep that vibrant green color. Spinach also could be used for this purpose. •••

chicken, maybe split spatchcockstyle set in a lightly oiled cast-iron skillet, “You’re going to get a beautiful dinner in about an hour. It can be on a platter to share with your family, and that kind of brings people together in a simple way that a sauteed chicken breast isn’t going to do.” •••

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes 1/4 cup minced fresh mint 1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 31/2 to 4 pounds chicken thighs and legs (about 6 medium pieces) 1.Prepare charcoal or gas grill that will give you medium to mediumhigh heat for15 to 20 minutes cooking time. If you use charcoal, be sure coals are very gray and cooked down to help prevent flare-ups during cooking. 2.Mix oil, soy sauce, mustard, lemon juice, zest, pepper flakes, mint and parsley in a small bowl. Very lightly salt chicken thighs and legs. Place chicken, skin side down, on grill. Cook, about 8 minutes. Turn pieces skin side up; continue grilling. Divide herb sauce in half, placing portions in separate bowls. Baste tops of chicken with half the herb sauce; reserve remainder for serving. (Don’t cross-contaminate the bowls of sauce.) Continue grilling until internal temperature registers 165 degrees. Transfer cooked birds to a serving platter; drizzle with reserved herb sauce.

GRILLED PESTO CHICKEN Serves: 4 Preparation time: 30 minutes (plus marinating time) Total time: 1 hour, 10 minutes 2 cups fresh basil leaves 1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley 1/2 cup olive oil, divided 4 garlic cloves, peeled 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, grated 2 large, about 1 1/4 pounds, (or 4 small) skin-on, boneless chicken breasts, trimmed of excess fat In a food processor, place the basil, parsley, 1/4 cup oil, garlic, lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Process until smooth, about 1 minute, scraping bowl as needed. Remove 1/4 cup pesto from processor and reserve for marinating chicken. Add Parmesan to pesto in processor and pulse until incorporated, about 3 pulses. Remove 2 heaping tablespoons of pesto for stuffing chicken. Add the remaining 1/4 cup oil to pesto in processor and pulse until combined. Set aside for saucing cooked chicken; you should have about 1/3 cup pesto. Starting on thick side of breast, cut a horizontal pocket in each breast about 2 1/2 inches wide, stopping 1/2 inch from edge so halves remain attached. Season chicken, inside and out, with salt and pepper. Place 1 heaping tablespoon of Parmesan pesto in pocket of each breast. Fold the non-skin side of the breast in toward the pocket so the skin side folds over some. Using kitchen twine, tie the breast at intervals. Place stuffed breasts in bowl and add pesto reserved for marinating. Rub pesto all over chicken, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Preheat or prepare the grill for indirect heat. (For charcoal, place ash-covered coals on one side of the grill and replace grate. For a gas grill, light all burners to high and then turn all but one to medium-low. ) Oil the grill grate. Place chicken, skin side up, on grill away from the heat. Cover and cook about 10 minutes. Flip chicken skin- side down. If using charcoal, slide chicken to hot part of grill. Cover and cook until well browned, about 10 minutes. Using tongs, turn chicken to brown on all sides and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Transfer chicken to platter, tent loosely with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes. Remove twine from chicken, and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices. Serve with remaining pesto sauce on the side.

We used chicken legs and thighs with excellent results. 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil 1/4 cup soy sauce 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest

Man who is never in the mood is slowly driving away his girlfriend Dear Abby: I am a 24-year-old man with a good job, a good relationship, a level head on my shoulders and a great family. Life has had its ups and downs, but I have always been optimistic and appreciative of my blessings. My issue is with me. After 10 months or so of dating a woman, I always lose my physical attraction to her. It has been my downfall in both of my previous relationships. My current relationship is with a woman I should marry. She’s gorgeous, intelligent, and we have an incredible level of communication. I could not imagine a better partner. But my lack of desire to have a con-

DEAR ABBY ADVICE stant physical relationship is driving her away. I occasionally initiate, but I’m usually not in the mood. I’d be happy with every week or every other week, but I’m only 24. Is this crazy? I know I’m making her feel unwanted, and it has become a sensitive subject for me. Is this a sign that I’m not supposed to be in this relationship? Other women excite me, but I have no desire to be with someone else. What are your thoughts on this? — Confused in the South

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

Dear Confused: Talk about this with your doctor and have your hormone levels checked. If they are where they should be, it may be that you simply have a low sex drive. Either that, or you crave what no one woman can give any man, and that’s variety. Dear Abby: Last year I lost someone very dear to me, my 5-year-old brother. I never knew a child who died before, but when it’s your little brother it makes it worse. The thing is, I’m the oldest and I have always tried to hide my emotions. I try to act like everything is OK because I don’t want people to know I’m falling apart. It’s bad enough for my mom and my grandparents. I don’t want to make it worse.

CRYPTOQUOTE

People say God only gives you what you can handle, but how are you supposed to handle a child’s death? — Grieving in Virginia Dear Grieving: Please accept my sympathy for your loss. A healthy way to deal with the emotions you are experiencing is to talk about them. Ideally, it would be with your parents. However, because you’re afraid it will be too painful for them, you need to find another adult with whom you can vent. It is important to let the feelings you’re bottling up come out because they are normal. Releasing them will help ease your pain. A counselor at school can help, or if you’d be more comfortable with someone else, talk to your clergyperson.

Dear Abby: You frequently recommend that readers seek therapy. I’ve been in therapy for eight years and see very little progress. Do you have any statistics that prove how helpful therapy actually is? — Skeptical in San Francisco Dear Skeptical: I don’t have any statistics — but I do have some advice for you: CHANGE THERAPISTS! After eight years and little progress, you’re with the wrong person. To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, selfaddressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

GOREN BRIDGE WITH OMAR SHARIF & TANNAH HIRSCH PREVIOUS DAY’S SOLUTION

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll enjoy relating to the cultured, artistic types you run into today, because you are so much alike. Your generosity and attention will be much appreciated, and you’ll gain a fan. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Fear is like a wild horse. If you’re going to ride it, you must first become its master. There is a dominant part of you that can communicate with this wildness inside of you. Show it who’s boss. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Material goods, education and relationships are elusive forms of security. A stronger sense of security comes from faith in your beliefs, whether it’s faith in a higher power inside of you, the goodness of the universe or love itself. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Today’s events unfold much the same as yesterday’s, but you’ll be happier about them, maybe because your observation is sharper. You’ll catch the opportunities you were too busy to see before. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). What took you a long time to accomplish could be quickly undone if you involve the wrong people. Be cautious in your dealings. Stick with people who have proved themselves worthy of your trust. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). While it’s easy to tell when you’re progressing at work, social advancement is a trickier equation that depends on your ability to read subtle cues correctly. You’ll be brilliant at this now. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Life as usual doesn’t showcase your talents as well as stepping into

unknown territory does. Your uniqueness shines through in novel situations. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Success depends on doing what people care about, talking about what people are interested in and generally thinking of others. You won’t lose yourself, as there will be plenty of overlapping commonalities. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There is no need to divide the world into winners and losers. There are so many factors involved in your quest today that polarized thinking such as this would be counterproductive. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). This is true, yet difficult to believe: There are people in the world who don’t like pie. Many will love what you offer, and there’s no good reason to take offense if there are a few who don’t. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You can waste time with the best of ’em. But are you really wasting time? Following what interests you and finding reasons to think, giggle or lighten your mood is anything but wasteful. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The person who encourages you to grow as an individual, to trust your decisions and to see life as an endless series of opportunities is your true friend, if not your true love. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 8). You have a knack for finding worthwhile endeavors and valuable items this year and will on several occasions make money with this talent. Love grows through the fall. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 30, 1, 24 and 19.
