‘Terrifying’ fiscal facts revealed Financial adviser, manager Lawton detail county “mess” and what could be done.

By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

Luzerne County government owes about $436 million in outstanding debt through 2027 and can’t do anything to refinance without a credit rating, a finan-

cial adviser told county council Tuesday. The figure includes $293 million in principal and $143 million in interest and fees. The county could reduce payments on “multiple” past bond packages by obtaining an investment grade credit rating, said Scott Shearer, of Harrisburgbased Public Financial Management, or PFM, which has provided financial recovery assistance

to the county for several years. The refinancing of two bond packages from 1997 and 1998 alone would save $1.5 million, he said. The rating also could allow release of some or all of a $6 million reserve fund required by insurers for a 2008 bond. Shearer advised county officials to take the following steps to obtain a rating: • End the year with a balanced

• Improve financial accounting required by audits. The county is on the hook for $26.5 million this year for debt repayment. Payments will increase from $27.6 million to $27.9 million annually through 2026, wrapping up with a $22.3 million Lawton payment in 2027, Shearer said.

Isaac runs into La. Hurricane takes aim at city of New Orleans BY MICHAEL KUNZELMAN and STACEY PLAISANCE

EW ORLEANS — Hurricane Isaac spun into the southern Louisiana coast late Tuesday, sending floodwaters surging and unleashing fierce winds as residents hunkered down behind boarded-up windows.

Isaac, a massive storm spanning nearly 200 miles from its center, made landfall at about 6:45 p.m. near the mouth of the Mississippi River. But it was zeroing in on New Orleans, about 75 miles to the northwest, turning streets famous for all-hours celebrations into ghost boulevards.

TAMPA, Fla. — Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney swept to the Republican presidential nomination Tuesday night, praised lovingly by his wife from the stage as the “man American needs” and cheered by a hall packed with convention delegates eager to propel him into the fall campaign against President Barack Obama. The hall erupted in cheers when Romney strolled onto the stage and shared a kiss with his wife of more than 40 years. “This man will not fail. This man will not let us down,” Mrs. Romney said in a primetime speech that sounded at times like a heart-to-heart talk among women and at times like a testimonial to her husband. “It’s the moms who always have to work harder, to make everything right,” she said, and she vouched firmly for her husband: “You can trust Mitt. He loves America.” “I read somewhere that Mitt and I have a ‘storybook marriage.’ Well, in the storybooks I read, there were never long, long, rainy winter afternoons in a house with five boys screaming at once,” she said in a prime time turn at the podium. “A storybook marriage? No, not at all.

COURT BRIEFS SCRANTON -- A former New York City resident has been sentenced to life in prison for robbing the M&T Bank in Hanover Township in 2010. Kareem Shabazz, 54, was one of five people charged for their roles in the Oct. 30, 2010 robbery of the bank at 722 San Souci Parkway. On May 4, after deliberating less than one hour, a federal jury returned the guilty verdict on all counts. Senior U.S. District Court Judge James M. Munley handed down the sentence Monday. Federal prosecutors said Shabazz and two other people entered the M&T Bank brandishing weapons, including pistols and a sawed-off shotgun. The robbers vaulted the teller counter, closed the blinds and ordered employees and a customer to drop to the floor. Shabazz and the other robbers left the bank with more than $17,000, got into a vehicle being driven by a co-conspirator, and traveled to New York. U.S. Attorney Peter J. Smith praised the efforts of the FBI, the Pennsylvania State Police, and the Hanover Township

Before voting to accept the finance report, board President Frank Casarella told residents of the loss the district has sustained from flood refunds of paid property taxes. The district ratified a total of $54,376 in refunds to property owners. The board appointed several new employees, including Frank Pugliese as director of physical plant/supervisor of building and grounds at a salary of $52,644. Some residents questioned the hiring policy used to select Pugliese. Board member Carl Yorina fielded many questions about the qualifications of the candidates for the position and the interview and testing process that allowed the district to choose among them. When that and other appointments were repeatedly questioned by residents, Casarella asserted the board would stand by a recently adopted nepotism policy and the best

Police Department for their diligent efforts in pursuing this case. WILKES-BARRE – A city man was sentenced Monday to 15 to 30 months in state prison on three unrelated charges. Robert Gribble, 43, with a last-known address of Davis Place, was sentenced by Judge David Lupas on charges of criminal trespassing, burglary and retail theft stemming from three incidents in 2011. Gribble, who was represented by attorney Christopher O’Donnell, pleaded guilty to the charges in April. Assistant District Attorney Molly Hanlon Mirabito prosecuted the case. According to court papers, on June 18, 2011, police said Gribble entered a city home and tried to steal copper piping. Three months later, police said Gribble entered the Uni-Mart on South Pennsylvania Avenue by smashing a glass door. A surveillance video showed Gribble allegedly taking a carton of cigarettes. On Oct. 26, city police said Gribble entered the Boscov’s Department Store in WilkesBarre and tried to take $1,304 in jewelry.

The association had asked for permission to sell confetti and doughnuts. After a discussion of the problems associated with cleaning up after confetti, the board voted the group will be allowed to sell doughnuts but not confetti. • The board presented a new policy for concussion management in athletic programs. The policy will allow the district to comply with a new state law that took effect in July. • The board also presented for review a set of procedures that would allow board members to attend meetings from remote locations by using speaker phones, teleconferencing and videoconferencing.

NANTICOKE -- Breaking down what Luzerne County Community College President Thomas Leary called exciting new initiatives, math professors explained a new program to prepare incoming students for college-level math courses. At Tuesday night’s board of trustees meeting, math professors Joanne Kawczenski and Nicole Saporito said that because of high failure rates and too many unacceptable entrance exam scores, they have been building a program since last spring that is effectively bringing students up

to speed on foundational math principles. The program, published by Pearson, is called MyMathLab and relies heavily on the Internet to provide individualized study programs that let students work at their own pace but stay in a classroom environment. The classes are not for credit, but help students enroll in lowlevel math courses and get into their major’s core classes, which may not be attainable without them.

R E V I E W It was another day-long dose of heavy music on Tuesday as the Rockstar Energy Drink UPROAR Festival screamed into Scranton. Alternative-metal bands Shinedown, Godsmack and Staind, along with hard rockers Adelitas Way, played extra-long sets on the main stage at the Toyota Pavilion at Montage Mountain because of the withdrawal of a fifth band, Papa Roach, due to its lead singer’s illness. Adelitas Way, featuring Pennsylvania native Rick DeJesus on lead vocals, took to the boards first for a seven-song, 35-minute set. Three singles from the band’s latest album “Home School Valedictorian” were the highlights as “Alive,” “Criticize” and “Sick” fired up the crowd. The quintet ended strongly with “Invincible,” the song that originally put the Las Vegasbased band on the map in 2009. Staind was next up and came out firing on all cylinders with “Eyes Wide Open” followed quickly by “Right Here.” The quartet fronted by Aaron Lewis did its share of rocking, but scored the biggest with its ballads including “It’s Been Awhile” and “Outside.” For its final number, another ballad called “This Is It,” just singer Lewis and guitarist Mike Mushok remained on stage, with Lewis showing off some powerful vocals on the heartfelt number. To build anticipation for the next act, the lights dimmed as the full-length recording of AC/ DC’s “For Those About To Rock We Salute You” played on the loudspeakers. With a final scream of “Fire!” from the recording, the white curtain at the front of the stage fell and Godsmack crashed its way into its opening number “The Enemy.” For the next hour, the quartet

Saporito, the math department chair, said that after three semesters of using the course, she has seen students show great improvement. “When they do come out of this course, we can say with great confidence, ‘They’re ready for that (college-level) course,’” Saporito said. She said 15 instructors have been trained to use the curriculum for 42 course offerings at all of the college’s campuses. Two days into the school year, she said all the seats have been filled. “It’s a big effort,” she said. “But

of Sully Erna (lead vocals, guitar), Robbie Merrill (bass guitar), Tony Rombola (lead guitar, backing vocals) and Shannon Larkin (drums and percussion) did not let up, whipping the crowd into a frenzy with an almost nonstop barrage of music. Early highlights included “Straight Out Of Line,” “Speak” and “Re-Align.” After playing probably its best-known song, “Voodoo,” Erna climbed onto a second set of drums as he and Larkin put on a veritable percussion clinic for the fans in Scranton. The group, still featuring two drummers, played the opening riffs to a few classic-rock staples such as AC/DC’s “Back in

Black” and Aerosmith’s “Walk This Way,” before bursting in with a super-charged “Keep Away.” Shinedown, an alternativemetal and hard rock band best known for the song "Second Chance" and a few others used by WWE professional wrestling, was set to cap the festivities with a performance beginning around 10 p.m. The music on Tuesday began more than four hours before the headliners took the main stage as a multitude of bands performed on the secondary stages, including: Jager Band, Cruz, Candlelight Red, In This Moment, Fozzy, Mindset Evolution, Redlight King, Deuce and P.O.D.

it’s paying off. Our students are learning.” In other business: • In his report, Finance Dean Joe Gasper said the preliminary audit numbers for the 2011-2012 school year showed about a 7 percent decrease in tuition revenue, and a 10 percent decrease in state-appropriated funds for the 2012-2013 year, but he said the decrease was anticipated. “We’re basically on target with our projections,” Gasper said. “Not that it makes it good.” He said finance administrators have asked academic department heads to slim down, making only necessary expenditures.

Leary said tuition did go up $12 per credit from last year, but the college is working to prevent future tuition increases. “We’re constantly monitoring costs to reduce the burden of enrollment,” he said. He said a final enrollment count could be made in about two weeks, so he could not accurately say if the decrease will continue this year. • County Judge Richard Hughes was present to swear in two new board members, Jack Serafin and Frank Bognet. Denee Nichols was also welcomed as the board’s newest student representative.

ANOVER TWP. – Closed two years ago as part of widespread consolidations within the Diocese of Scranton, the former St. Casimir Church has been given a new lease on life as a house of worship by the congregation of a Dallas Township church.

New Life Community Church recently purchased the St. Casimir property from the diocese, transferring its worship services from the Twin Stacks Center on Route 415 that it had called home the past three years. Pastor Gideon Gaitano said the church completed the purchase of the roughly 3-acre St. Casimir property on Delaney Street in July. The $251,000 purchase price included the church, rectory and land. The congregation had been searching for a new home since last year as it had begun to outgrow the Twin Stacks

Several former members of St. Casimir have stopped by to tell him the history of the church. One man offered to clear snow from the parking lot as he had done for years when the church was owned by the diocese. “We were talking See CHURCH, Page 4A

Charges forwarded against now-paralyzed man By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – At most preliminary hearings, a victim testifies against a defendant who is in custody, shackled and usually wearing a prison uniform. The scenario was turned around Tuesday when Naeem Ford, 29, imprisoned on a probation violation, testified against his alleged attacker, James Rankin, who has not been

jailed despite being unable to post $100,000 bail on charges related to a home invasion in April. Rankin, 21, of Philadelphia, was paralyzed when he was shot by a Wilkes-Barre police officer investigating an April 9 robbery and assault at Ford’s apartment on Kidder Street. The officer fired believing Rankin had reached into his waistband for a weapon during a foot chase at night.

The officer was cleared of any wrongdoing in the shooting by the Luzerne County District Attorney’s Office. Unable to walk, the wheelchairbound Rankin appeared in street clothes for his preliminary hearing in Wilkes-Barre Central Court. Ford and his girlfriend, Margarita Martinez, 22, testified for more See RANKIN, Page 4A

WILKES-BARRE – The mother of a 14-year-old boy facing an undisclosed criminal charge in connection to the shooting death of Tyler Winstead in April is expected to be charged with evidence tampering and giving false information to investigators. Angelina DeAbreau is scheduled to be arraigned Friday morning by District Judge Rick Cronauer on charges of tamperingwithorfabricating physical evidence, corruption of minors and falsely incriminating another person. The charges were Winstead filed Tuesday by city police and Luzerne County detectives and signed by Cronauer. Luzerne County District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis on Tuesday afternoon declined comment on the charges until after DeAbreau is arraigned. Winstead, 14, died April 5 after being found shot in front of DeAbreau’s house at117 Hill St., where his friend and DeAbreau’s son, Elijah Yusiff lived. Yusiff told reporters Tyler was shot in a drive-by shooting while walking home from playing basketball at the Catholic Youth Center on South Washington Street. Winstead was found on the road near the curb while his shoes were found loose on the sidewalk. There was blood spatter on the sidewalk in front of 115 Hill St. and 117 Hill St., and a small pool of blood on the road near the curb where Winstead was found. Winstead lived with his grandparents, who were his legal guardians, at 119 Hill St. Yusiff was charged as a juvenile with an unknown offense on May 30 during a closed hearing in Luzerne County Court. He returned to court for another closed hearing on Aug. 10. Salavantis has maintained state law prevents her from discussing the case due to Yusiff’s age. A county judge sealed Yusiff’s record from the public. The criminal complaint and affidavit filed against DeAbreau will likely have details about the shooting. Investigators searched DeAbreau’s house on April 10 and April 13, at which time they were seen removing bleach and a computer tower. A search warrant was also served for DeAbreau’s cellphone records on April 30. Less than two weeks after the house was last searched, people removed furniture and other belongings from 117 Hill St. on April 25. The house has remained vacant since. City, community and religious leaders earlier this summer started a grassroots community initiative called Building Bridges, aimed at healing a community after Winstead’s death. The group held meetings to discuss ways on how to improve city life and stem violence.

Zerby was arrested by Newport Township police in May after the girl alleged he sexually assaulted her at a residence in Glen Lyon from 2003 through 2006. Zerby is known to the girl’s family. The girl appeared for Zerby’s preliminary hearing before District Judge Michael Dotzel but did not have to testify when Assistant District Attorney Jenny Roberts and attorney Thomas Cometa announced they reached a negotiated plea deal. Roberts and Cometa told Dotzel that charges of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, indecent assault, aggravated indecent assault

CHURCH

and corruption of minors against Zerby were withdrawn. A single count of unlawful contact with a miZerby nor, a second-degree felony that incorporates sexual offenses, was levied on Zerby. Roberts advised Zerby that if he does not plead guilty to the unlawful contact charge, the original offenses will be refiled. Zerby is facing three to 10 years in prison, Roberts said. The negotiated plea deal erases lifetime registration under the state’s Megan’s Law, which would have been required if Zerby was convicted or pleaded guilty to the involuntary deviate sexual intercourse charge. He will have to register his address for 10 years if he pleads guilty to the unlawful contact offense. Zerby remains jailed at the county prison for lack of $100,000 bail. A formal arraignment is scheduled on Nov. 2 in county court.

Ford said he underwent surgery to have a 16-inch rod inserted in his leg that was crushed in a car crash about a week before the alleged home invasion. He said Rankin stomped on his surgically repaired leg six or seven times, stunned him with a Taser numerous times and punched him in the face about 20 times. “He kept stomping on my left leg. It was unbearable pain,” Ford testified upon questioning by assistant district attorneys William Finnegan Jr. and Michelle Hardik. He said the blows bent the rod and he had to undergo a second surgery to repair his leg. Martinez said Rankin stunned her with a Taser numerous times, causing permanent burn scars on her chest, arms and legs.

France probing Yasser Arafat’s death

Many in the Arab world have long suspected he was poisoned. By SARAH DiLORENZO Associated Press

This tiger looking out from a cage parked on zoo grounds Tuesday in Asuncion, Paraguay, is one of nine Bengal tigers and seven African lions from an Argentine circus that were stuck in a Paraguayan border town for two months. Paraguayan officials hope circus owners and Argentine officials work out the animals’ paperwork for re-entry.

PARIS — French prosecutors opened a murder inquiry into the death of Yasser Arafat on Tuesday, his widow’s lawyer said, after she and a TV investigation raised new questions about whether the Palestinian leader was poisoned. Many in the Arab world have long suspected that Arafat was poisoned, and a Swiss lab’s recent finding of elevated levels of polonium-210 — a rare and highly lethal radioactive substance — on Arafat’s clothing has fed those

claims. However, the Institute of Radiation Physics said its findings were inconclusive and that only exhuming Arafat’s remains could bring possible clarity. Palestinian officials have waffled on that matter — initially approving the exhumation and then saying the matter needed more study — only further fueling suspicions. Arafat died in a French military hospital outside Paris in 2004 of what doctors have said was a massive stroke, but the Swiss lab’s tests have renewed interest in his death. The findings were first broadcast by Arab satellite TV station Al-Jazeera, which approached the lab on behalf of Arafat’s widow, Suha. She pro-

Arafat filed a complaint asking for a murder investigation. Her lawyer, Pierre-Olivier Sur, confirmed on Tuesday that the prosecutor’s office in Nanterre, the seat of the district where the military hospital is, has agreed to take up the matter. Next, a judge will be appointed to lead the inquiry. Sur said in a statement that his client would not comment because she wantAP FILE PHOTO ed to let the judge do his work.

Parties, silence for Irene

NATO soldier is killed

NATO service member was killed in an insurgent attack in eastern A Afghanistan on Tuesday, and a hel-

icopter crashed on a mission overnight, but no one was hurt, the international coalition said. No details about the fatal attack were released. The U.S.-led coalition force does not identify the nationalities of casualties until individual countries name them. The Chinook helicopter made a hard landing in the eastern province of Logar late Monday night, coalition spokeswoman Lt. j.g. Amy Hession said. The aircraft was heavily damaged, so the crew destroyed it before they were evacuated from the scene, she said.

HAIFA, ISRAEL

Military cleared in death

An Israeli court on Tuesday cleared the military of wrongdoing in the death of a young American activist who was crushed by an Israeli bulldozer during a protest in the Gaza Strip nearly a decade ago, rejecting claims by her parents that the driver acted recklessly. The verdict came after a seven-year legal battle waged by the family of Rachel Corrie, whose death remains a powerful symbol on both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The family said it was considering an appeal to the Israeli Supreme Court but wanted to examine the full verdict before deciding. PERRY HALL, MD.

Teen brought gun, booze

A 15-year-old sophomore at a suburban Baltimore high school who made references to murder-suicide on Facebook has been charged as an adult in the shooting of a classmate on the first day of school, authorities said Tuesday. Robert Wayne Gladden Jr. was being held without bail on charges of attempted first-degree murder and firstdegree assault, Baltimore County police said. A preliminary hearing was scheduled for Sept. 7. The state’s attorney’s office did not know if he had a lawyer. Gladden’s last status update on his Facebook page, posted the morning of the shooting, read: “First day of school, last day of my life. ... f--- the world.” His father told The Associated Press that his son had been bullied. Baltimore County Police Chief James Johnson said at a news conference Tuesday that he was aware of the reported bullying, but he said Gladden has not indicated in conversations with detectives that bullying was a motive for the shooting. He did not disclose other possible motives. Gladden continues to cooperate with investigators and was undergoing a mental health evaluation, Johnson said. PHILADELPHIA

Specter has cancer again

Former Sen. Arlen Specter confirmed Tuesday that he is fighting cancer again, calling the latest diagnosis “another battle I intend to win.” The 82-year-old Specter issued a brief statement through his Philadelphia office. A family spokesman reached by The Associated Press declined to comment on the type of cancer or confirm news reports that he had been hospitalized. Specter, who was Pennsylvania’s longest-serving senator, has overcome two bouts with Hodgkin’s disease, a cancer of the lymphatic system, since 2005. He also has survived a brain tumor and cardiac arrest after bypass surgery.

Rebels focus on fight

Goal of united Syrian opposition remains elusive By BEN HUBBARD and ROBERT H. REID Associated Press

AZAZ, Syria — In the foreign halls of power, the strategy is clear: Syria’s opposition should unite to present an alternative to Bashar Assad’s rule — a step France’s president says would lead to diplomatic recognition. As a move toward unity, Syrian exiles from the main opposition Syrian National Council and other groups unveiled a blueprint Tuesday in the German capital of Berlin for transition to a democratic, transparent society free of religious and ethnic favoritism. But rebels and civilians in the bombshattered Syrian town of Azaz near the Turkish border view such talk as hollow. They are deeply skeptical of all exiled leaders and believe what really matters is their fight on the ground to overthrow the regime. “They have never come up with a united position that will save the people,” said Fadi Hajji, 25, who had been camped out along the Syrian border with Turkey with his wife and two infant daughters for five days. “All they are good at is arguing. They don’t represent anyone here and they don’t help.” There was more bloodshed Tuesday as a car bomb ripped through a Damascus suburb, killing 12 people, according to the state news agency. Activists also said an airstrike in the town of Kfar Nabl killed at least13 people as fighting raged nationwide. With no end to the carnage in sight, French President Francois Hollande called on the Syrian opposition Monday to form a provisional government, saying France would recognize and support it. Hollande’s statement, believed to be

the first of its kind, was quickly shot down by U.S. officials who said talk of a provisional government was premature given the deep divisions within the opposition movement. The head of the main Syrian opposition group, the Syrian National Council, criticized the U.S. stand, saying that efforts were under way to forge a united front but that the process takes time — especially in the midst of a raging civil war. “It seems to me as if the international community is not prepared to take decisive decisions and blames the Syrian opposition for its own shortcomings,” Abdelbaset Sieda told The Associated Press by telephone Tuesday from Switzerland. Those comments were echoed in Ber-

lin by opposition exiles who drafted the 122-page transition blueprint during six months of consultations funded by governments of the United States, Germany, Switzerland and private groups in Norway and the Netherlands. Many in the SNC have been hoping the world community would impose a safe zone along the Turkish border, possibly extending to a no-fly zone over at least some areas. Since the uprising began in March last year, Syria’s opposition has been plagued by divisions and infighting. The strains within the opposition were also evident on Tuesday when the Paris-based SNC spokeswoman Bassma Kodmani, a founding member of the group, resigned. She said the SNC had veered off course.

WAITSFIELD, Vt. — For some, there will be block parties and parades. For others, a moment of silence. Or it might be just another day of cleaning up the mess. But if there’s one unifying event, it’ll probably be the sound of all Vermont’s church and town hall bells reverberating simultaneously through the same mountain valleys that Hurricane Irene’s floodwaters shredded exactly a year ago. Gov. Peter Shumlin has called for the bell-ringing commemoration as Vermonters make plans to pause on Tuesday or the days around it to reflect on how far the state has come since the remnants of Irene unleashed the worst flooding in recent memory, killing six people, wiping out hundreds of homes and businesses, and cutting off whole towns with miles of wiped-out roads and dozens of destroyed bridges. Landlocked Vermont suffered the worst damage along Irene’s trail of destruction, which left more than 65 people dead from the Caribbean to Canada. Cars tumbling like toys in roiling waters and covered bridges crumbling against muddy waves remain among the most indelible images of Irene. “Vermonters have a lot to celebrate on the one-year anniversary of Irene,” Shumlin said as he announced a four-day tour, from Saturday through Tuesday, of towns hurt by the storm. “But we also need to recognize that many people and communities still need our help.” That’s obvious at businesses like the White River Valley Campground in Stockbridge, where owners Rebecca and Drew Smith say they’re still overwhelmed by all the work needed to get the place back open. “We need contractors, we need electricians, we need plumbers,” Rebecca Smith said. But the couple said they have no means to pay for all that’s needed. They’ve been out of business since the storm and have missed their mortgage payments the past two months. Janet Lumbra, a 37-year-old single mother from East Granville, said she’ll observe the anniversary by continuing to work on the project of fixing up her flood-gutted home. She and her 16-year-old son, Riley, lived in a camper across the road for months after the storm.

Authorities: Medical examiner stashed organs in locker The Associated Press

PENSACOLA, Fla. — A former medical examiner crudely preserved human brains, hearts and lungs in soda cups and plastic food containers found inside a storage unit in Florida, authorities said Tuesday. A man bought the contents of a storage unit at auction last week in Pensacola and made the gruesome discovery after being overpowered by a

strange smell while sifting through furniture and boxes. Investigators found formaldehyde, a chemical used to embalm and preserve bodies, leaking from a 32-ounce drink cup with a cracked lid that was holding a heart, said Jeff Martin, director of the District 1 Medical Examiner’s Office in Pensacola. The unit had been rented previously by Dr. Michael Berkland. “How horrible it is for the

families of these deceased to think that someone’s loved one’s organs are basically rotting away in a storage unit somewhere, it’s horrible,” Martin told The Associated Press. Berkland worked at the medical examiner’s office from 1997 until 2003, when he was fired for not completing autopsy reports. Officials said he was also performing private autopsies in the area, but it’s unclear if any of the organs were from au-

topsies he conducted while working at the medical examiner’s office. The medical examiner’s office is now cross-referencing names in their database during that time period, Martin said. Officials are also trying to locate family members for some of the victims, but many of the organs are not labeled, making it nearly impossible to identify them. No charges have been filed

against Berkland. His attorney Eric Stevenson declined comment Tuesday. Phone calls and emails to Pensacola Police were not immediately returned. Officials are trying to determine whether Berkland broke any laws regarding biomedical waste and the storing and disposing of human remains. It was not immediately known why the organs were being stored there.

OCEAN CITY, Md. — A city in China still holds the bikini parade record after a failed attempt in Maryland. Organizers of Saturday’s effort in Ocean City to take the title from Huludao City in China fell short. Only about 325 women turned out under rainy skies. Brad Hoffman, who organized the parade for the North Ocean City Business Alliance, blamed the rain for the poor turnout. Organizers were trying to attract more than1,085 to break the record set in China earlier this month. The 25-block parade included women of all ages.

late Tuesday, more than 100,000 homes and businesses had lost power. Ed Rappaport, deputy director of the National Hurricane Center, said Isaac’s core would pass west of New Orleans with winds close to 80 mph and head for Baton Rouge. “On this course, the hurricane will gradually weaken,” Rappaport said Tuesday night from the Miami-based center. He said gusts could reach about 100 mph at times, especially at higher levels which could damage high-rise buildings in New Orleans. As Isaac neared the city, there was little fear or panic. With New Orleans’ airport closed, tourists retreated to hotels and most denizens of a coastline that has witnessed countless hurricanes decided to ride out the storm. Officials, chastened by memories and experience, advised caution. “We don’t expect a Katrinalike event, but remember there are things about a Category 1 storm that can kill

you,” New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu said, urging people to use common sense and to stay off any streets that may flood. Tens of thousands of people were told to leave low-lying areas, including 700 patients of Louisiana nursing homes, but officials decided not to call for mass evacuations like those that preceded Katrina, which packed 135 mph winds in 2005. Isaac also promised to test a New Orleans levee system bolstered after the cata-

strophic failures during Hurricane Katrina. But in a city that has already weathered Hurricane Gustav in 2008, calm prevailed. While far less powerful than Katrina, Isaac posed similar political challenges, a reminder of how the storm seven years ago became a symbol of government ignorance and ineptitude. Political fallout was already simmering. Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal, who canceled his trip to the convention,

said the Obama administration’s disaster declaration fell short of the federal help he had requested, and asked for a promise to be reimbursed for storm preparation costs. Local officials, who imposed curfews in Mississippi’s Harrison, Hancock and Jackson counties. And in Theodore, Ala., 148 people took refuge in a shelter at the town’s high school by midday Tuesday, with minds focused as much on the past as on the present storm.

WILKES-BARRE – A West Hazleton man charged with stabbing another man in the leg during a fight in June 2011 has been released from prison on bail after making the request because he had not been brought to trial more than 180 days after his arrest. Pedro Delgado, 25, with a last known address of North Third Street, was released from the county prison on $7,500 unsecured bail by Judge Lesa Gelb after a hearing Tuesday. Delgado asked to be released on nominal bail in February because a trial on charges of aggravated assault, simple assault, reckless endangerment and harassment had not

yet been held. Earlier this month, Gelb scheduled Delgado for an Oct. 9 trial. Gelb said Tuesday that Delgado must live with his mother on West Fourth Street in Hazleton, and that he would not be released from the county prison until a probation officer confirmed the address. Delgado, who represented himself Tuesday with standby counsel, was charged on June 19, 2011, after an altercation on 3rd and Mine streets in Hazleton, where Wendy Henriquez told police Delgado stabbed him in the leg. Gelb ordered Delgado to have no contact with any victims in the case. Early last month, Delgado also made a request to have the charges against him dismissed because it had been more than 365 days since his arrest and he had yet to stand trial -- a violation of his speedy trial rights.

Court upholds Selenski charges

By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

The state Superior Court on Tuesday denied double homicide suspect Hugo Selenski’s motion that sought to dismiss the charges against him. The decision clears the way for Selenski’s trial to start on Sept. 10, although defense attorneys could seek to appeal the latest ruling to the state Supreme Court. The Superior Court, in a 13page opinion, rejected the defense’s argument that Selenski’s trial for the deaths of Michael Kerkowski and Tammy Fassett constituted double jeopardy -- a constitutional protection that precludes a person from being tried twice for the same crime. Investigators allege Selenski tortured and killed Kerkowski and Fassett at Kerkowski’s home on May 3, 2002 while trying to force Kerkowski to reveal where he had hidden drugs and money.

Selenski and an accomplice, Paul Weakley, then buried their bodies at Selenski’s home on Mount Olivet Road in Kingston Township, it is alleged. Selenski had been charged previously with the May 2003 deaths of Frank James and Adeiye Keiler. Prosecutors allege Selenski lured the men, who were alleged drug dealers, to his home, where he shot and killed them, then burned their bodies. A Luzerne County jury acquitted Selenski of the James and Keiler slayings in March 2006, convicting him only of abuse of corpse. Selenski’s attorneys, Shelley Centini and Edward Rymsza, argued the charges in the Kerkowski/Fassett case should have been tried at the same time as the James/Keiler case because they arose out of the same criminal episode. The defense said all of the victims were found at the same lo-

cation, both homicides were connected to drugs and money and both crimes involved the same investigators and primary witnesses. A three-member panel of the Superior Court found there were sufficient differences in the cases to support separate trials. “The instant case involves homicides that occurred more than a year apart. Moreover, the fact that the homicides occurred at locations approximately 13 miles apart establishes there was no particular pattern to these crimes, even if both involved money and drugs,” the court said. Lisa Sands, sister of Tammy Fassett, applauded the court’s ruling, but acknowledged the case could still be delayed should Selenski ask the state Supreme Court to hear an appeal. “It was such good news,” Sands said. “We still have one more hurdle.”

OUR OPINION: BACK TO CLASS

Parents, don’t be marked absent

O TO SCHOOL. That’s not a command for students starting classes this week in most Luzerne County public school districts, but rather a recommendation for their parents and guardians. Go to your child’s school as often as practical, because it signals that you care about learning and expect your son or daughter to do well academically. Your involvement matters. Loads of research suggests that students whose parents serve as volunteers for PTA-type groups, attend school activities and visit with teachers tend to get better grades than their peers whose parents are no-shows. Pay visits to the elementary, middle or high school where your student spends each weekday, because you should know what happens there. Is the building safe? What’s served for lunch? The more familiar you are with the school’s standard operating procedures, special events and trends, the better equipped you can be to communicate with your son or daughter, maintaining close bonds even through those tricky teen years. Show up for a school board meeting, too. Or a bunch of them. After all, it’s during these public sessions when elected officials from your community decide on the policies and programs affecting your child’s school experience. Too often, adults don’t take an interest in these meetings unless the agenda includes a hot-button topic such as a new student dress code or a football coach’s status. Shouldn’t equal scrutiny be paid

to multimillion-dollar district budgets and plans to scale back full-day kindergarten? What about districts in which public corruption has festered; shouldn’t grownups with a vested interest in the district – as taxpayers or parents, or both – be in the seats during each monthly board gathering? Perhaps your schedule won’t allow you to be at every bake sale, pageant and PTA meeting. You’re busy; we get that. But, for starters, can you periodically scan the school district’s website for general announcements and important updates for parents and caretakers? Do your best to get to school often between now and June. You won’t receive a letter grade at year’s end; but for your child’s sake, you don’t want to fail this assignment.

QUOTE OF THE DAY “Men and women keep dying, and U.S. policies keep accelerating the centrifugal forces that are driving the country toward civil conflict …” Sarah Chayes The senior associate with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace published a commentary Sunday about Afghanistan, where, analysts say, the war that began only a month after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks has slipped off most people’s radar screens and is considered by many to be over.

OTHER OPINION: WEAPONS SALES

U.S. is arms king, but at what cost?

N A WORLD full of unmet human needs, too much is spent on military weapons, the bulk of which comes from the United States. A study released Friday by the non-partisan Congressional Research Service said that America is again the world’s top arms dealer, with $66.3 billion in sales in 2011, the largest in its history. Developing countries made 84 percent of the purchases. Top U.S. customers were Persian Gulf states including Oman, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. India and Taiwan were other U.S. clients. EDITORIAL BOARD

Arms sales have important implications for both buying and selling countries. For the buyers, particularly developing countries, money spent on arms leaves less for education, health care, infrastructure and other items that could improve their people’s standard of living. For Americans, these sales should raise questions as to whether the United States belongs at the top of the list of the world’s arms merchants, particularly to countries of the developing world.

Voter ID law assaults democratic process

SEND US YOUR OPINION

would like to comment on the new Pennsylvania voter ID law. I have been involved in politics for 35 years and I have never encountered a case of anyone trying to misrepresent themselves as a legitimate voter. The real reason for this new legislation, as is now obvious, is to suppress the vote in key demographics. Even Republican House Majority Leader Mike Turzai, in a remarkable combination of childlike innocence and political stupidity, admitted that this law will allow GOP presidential contender Mitt Romney to win the state. What is most distasteful is the intellectually insulting argument used by the supporters of this law that they are concerned about the “sanctity” of every vote. I guess we are to presume that the votes of the 758,000 people who might not be able to cast ballots have no sanctity. This legislative action is nothing less than an assault on the democratic process itself. At a time when we are trying to instill in students a sense of civic duty and an appreciation for the political efficacy of the franchise, our legislators pass laws placing greater restrictions on access to the ballot box. They have acted in bad faith and their actions are truly un-American. At least 10 other states controlled by the same party have passed similar voter suppression laws. Numerous legal challenges have been filed, and I do not know if the Pennsylvania courts will allow this law to stand. But the fact that it has advanced this far in so many states is alarming and might require intervention from the federal courts or the U.S. Department of Justice. It also substantiates an immutable lesson learned from the civil rights movement: The states cannot be trusted to guarantee individual rights. James E. Burns Kingston

Pittston festival spans generations of family

Growth in Wilkes-Barre measured at the bars

ne of the most famous business writers of all time, Peter Drucker, once said that profits are the end result of many good decisions a business makes along the way. Child rearing can be seen the same way. The many good decisions a parent makes will only improve the chances of a welladjusted child. In the same vein, the plight of WilkesBarre is the net result of many corrupt decisions made along the way. Obviously if you water down your pool of teachers through nepotism, education will suffer. Can you imagine a football team filling its positions through nepotism? It would be a disaster. I want to take this point further, however, on a much more serious level. Anybody who talks about growth downtown can’t escape the fact that much of the “growth” is measured in part by the opening of bars and taverns. Bars can come with a heavy price tag. If you consistently pour alcohol into people, the “byproduct” will be something horrible (at least eventually). This includes strip clubs as well. Mark Robbins Forty Fort

Gov. Romney succeeded at stopover in Poland

ov. Mitt Romney returned earlier this month from a triumphant visit to Europe. I was particularly impressed with the journey to Poland. Among others from Poland, Lech Walesa invited Romney to Poland. Walesa, Pope John Paul II and Ronald Reagan were instrumental in doing away with communism. Romney and Walesa met and that accomplished much good. We see with the present administration that the missiles the Unites States had in Poland were removed. I’m sure this was discussed by Gov. Romney and Walesa, the former leader of Poland. There are many more important issues to be brought up. Let us pray that there

will be meaningful dialogue. I hope and trust that people writing letters and discussing issues would have respect for the candidates. Frank Mrufchinski Nanticoke

Inertia on JFK cover-up signals many concerns

“

Regicide: The Official Assassination of John F. Kennedy” was published in 2002 and is purportedly based on government documents that Robert T. Crowley, assistant director of clandestine operations of the CIA at the time of the Kennedy assassination, turned over to historian Gregory Douglas four years prior to his death in 2000. As photocopied government documents reproduced in “Regicide” detail the who, how and why of the assassination, you would think responsible people in government and the media would feel some obligation to end that colossal coverup – since very few rational people believe the Lee Harvey Oswald fable. It is a sick joke to me that many of the people making hay on the Jerry Sandusky child sexual abuse cover-up have not the least intention to live up to their obligations under the Constitution’s misprision of treason clause. For the past 10 years, I have tried to have people in the news media and state and federal governments take seriously their responsibilities to the Republic and its people by sending them excerpts, and in some cases complete books, to no avail. Documents published in “Regicide” reveal FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover to have been an active participant in the assassination and its cover-up. So subsequent FBI directors have had as part of their job description the continuance of that deception. On that basis, I can have no more confidence in the Freeh report than I would have in the work of any other known dissembler. Another cause for lack of confidence in the Freeh report is that for many years retired FBI agent Ted Gunderson tried unsuccessfully to have action taken at the federal level on gross pedophilia activities, but no one in government or the media would follow up on his initiative. What is a cover-up aberration at Penn State, it seems, turns out to be job one in the main body of politics, media and medicine. As a congenital skeptic, I never really bought into the Paterno and Second Mile facades, but the NCAA’s measures make me believe its president’s current power trip isn’t that far removed from what Sandusky did under color of the Second Mile; but he is doing openly what the other did somewhat less so. Rahm Emanuel must be proud to have him as a student in his “Making the Most of a Crisis” class. Martin Husovich White Haven

God,” when told of Murphy’s new job. “Does he need help packing?” Sorick asked sarcastically. “He will no longer be milking the taxpayers of Wilkes-Barre.” Murphy also came under fire for his role as a consultant during the city’s attempt to privatize its parking assets. The parking authority retained as its consultant Fox Rothschild, a Philadelphia law firm where Murphy’s brother, Patrick, is a partner. Fox Rothschild hired J.J. Murphy’s company – Goals Consulting – and paid him $300 per hour. Murphy received nearly $35,000 in fees before the authority capped consulting fees and the plan was later scrapped. “J.J. Murphy has cost the city way more than he is worth,” Sorick said. Leighton praises Murphy The mayor has another viewpoint. Leighton said Murphy is “a proven leader and effective administrator” who served the city and the community “with distinction” for years. “He has served his country in the U.S. Air Force and was deployed to Africa in 2008 and Haiti in 2010,” Leighton said. “His achievements extend beyond his service to the city government.” He said Murphy’s GOALS Foundation, which he founded, played significant roles in the construction of two playgrounds in the city, and the organization has broadened access to sports for countless area youths through grants. “J.J. was a trusted adviser as my administrator, and WilkesBarre’s loss is certainly Hobbs’ gain,” Leighton said. “I wish him

And Mayor Leighton is an incredible leader and a good friend.” Murphy graduated from King’s College and received his master’s degree from Marywood University. Murphy said the corruption scandal in Luzerne County that led to convictions and guilty pleas of elected and appointed officials has tainted the reputation of the entire region. “Some people have painted all government workers with that same broad brush,” Murphy said. “This area will have a real challenge to motivate people in the future to get involved with government.” Murphy said he is one of 30 people in Pennsylvania who have earned the highest level of expertise from the International City/ County Managers Association – that of “credentialed manager.” A major in the Air Force Reserves, Murphy said he is most proud of his community work in Wilkes-Barre. Murphy’s new boss, Mayor Cobb, said Murphy was the unanimous choice of the city commission and himself. “His administrative abilities impressed us, along with his military training and his responses to our questions,” Cobb said. “We liked what he had to say about his vision for our community and its future.” Cobb said he did check out Murphy’s background and his time in Wilkes-Barre. He said he was aware of the alarm system controversy.

most instantly from the podium at a convention postponed once and dogged still by Hurricane Isaac. The Democratic president has “never run a company. He hasn’t even run a garage sale or seen the inside of a lemonade stand,” declared Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican Party. The opening session passed up no opportunity to broaden Romney’s appeal. Speakers in-

cluded Hispanic candidates for office, former Rep. Artur Davis, a former Democrat and member of the Congressional Black Caucus, businessmen and women and former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, Romney’s most persistent, conservative nemesis in the nominating campaign. To send Romney and ticketmate Paul Ryan into the fall campaign, the convention quickly approved a conservative

platform that calls for tax cuts — not government spending — to stimulate the economy at a time of sluggish growth and 8.3 percent unemployment. On economic matters, the platform backs extension of the tax cuts enacted in 2001 and 2003 and due to expire at year’s end, without exception. It also calls for an additional 20 percent reduction in income tax brackets that Romney favors. In a time of 8.3 percent unemployment and the slowest economic recovery in the postWorld War II era, that went to the crux of the campaign for the White House. The GOP platform also pledges that a Republican-controlled Congress will repeal, and Romney will sign, legislation to repeal the health care legislation Obama won from a Democraticcontrolled Congress. So, too, for the measure passed to regulate Wall Street in the wake of the 2008 economic collapse. On abortion, the platform says, “The unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed.”

The 2012 convention is the second that U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta, RHazleton, has attended – and his first as a congressman. “Ann Romney learly energized the crowd and shared a side of her husbandmanyAmericanshaven’t seen,” Barletta said. “And Gov. Chris Christie really energized the crowd. They were right on message and said exactly what the people here wanted to hear,” he said. Barletta said earlier in the day that he hasn’t seen such enthusiasm for a presidential ticket as he has for the Romney/Ryan ticket in many years. Aaron Kaufer, Republican candidate for state representative in the120thLegislativeDistrict,said Tuesday started off for him with a breakfast featuring a few big

names including House Speaker John Boehner, Mitt Romney’s son Josh Romney, and FOX News Channel analyst and Republican political strategist Frank Luntz. “Boehner really stole the show giving a very good speech – even making fun of the way people pronounce his name,” Kaufer said. After the breakfast, Gov. Tom Corbett, Lt. Gov. Jim Cawley and some U.S. congressmen from Pennsylvania shook hands and posed for photos. Monday night, Kaufer said, state Speaker of the House Sam Smith hosted a well attended “Whiskey Rebellion” for members of the state’s delegation. But not all Republicans were happy with all the proceedings. Holly Anderson, 27, of Dallas, said her first convention as an alternate delegate was “very inter-

esting, to say the least.” What she found most memorable Tuesday was voting on minority rules and “a lot of chanting about points of order not being acknowledged.” Anthony Antonello, a 33-yeardelegate from Pittston, said Robert’s Rules of Order were ignored and leaders “blew off” anyone who wasn’t a Romney supporter. “It was the biggest power grab ever seen in the Republican party,” he said. Antonello said he held up an 8by-10-inch Ron Paul sign behind Gov. Tom Corbett as Corbett was makingatelevisedspeechandthe feed was cut. “They didn’t want it to look like Pennsylvaniawasdivided,thatwe weren’tallinlockstepbehindMitt Romney,” he said.

What Mitt Romney and I have is a real marriage,” she added in an appearance meant to cast her multimillionaire-businessmanturned politician in a softer, more likable light. The Romneys watched on television at a hotel suite across the street from the convention hall as delegates sealed his hardwon victories in the primaries and caucuses of last winter. New Jersey put him over the top in a ritual roll call of the states. New Jersey’s governor, Chris Christie, had the difficult job of following Mrs. Romney before the cheering crowd. Christie, the convention keynoter, declared, “Leadership matters.” “It’s time to end this era of absentee leadership in the Oval Office and send real leaders to the White House,” he said. Republican mockery of President Barack Obama began al-

She’s a pretty incredible person in her own right, having multiple sclerosis and raising five children,” Henry said. Henry was also excited to hear Christie, “someone from a state very similar to Pennsylvania, a state that’s had trouble financially and a governor like our governor, who’s had to make some tough choices.”

raveling the “spider web of transactions” using borrowed funds to publicly explain how the money was spent. For example, the county borrowed a combined $71 million in 2004, 2005, 2008 and 2009 solely to fund deficits and operating expenses, records show. Lawton told council past county officials twice obtained cash for operating expenses with an unusual financing mechanism involving county owned Moon Lake Park in Plymouth Township. The park was “leased” to the Luzerne County Industrial Development Authority on paper. The authority borrowed funds to give the county money to cover the imaginary lease, and the county repaid the bond with interest to “sublease” it back. “That’s the legacy that’s been handed down to the council and staff and taxpayers,” Lawton said.

He said the county has few capital improvements to show for the $27 million bill that must be paid the next 15 years. He used the word “binge” to describe much of the past spending of borrowed funds. Roughly $20 million of the debt must be repaid by the state for improvements at Luzerne County Community College, he noted. Councilwoman Elaine Maddon Curry said the presentation is a “testament” for the county’s switch to home rule government. “What a mess,” she said. Council Chairman Jim Bobeck thanked Shearer and the administration for presenting the “terrifying facts” in a “calm tone.” The county has about $21.5 million of borrowed funds left for future capital projects, officials said. Council members also discussed options for county tax collection Tuesday. Under home rule, council has the power to stop using 69 elected tax collectors or reduce their

pay. The tax collectors are paid $3.50 per bill. Hanover Township tax collector Mildred Luba told council members she will present a petition from more than 3,000 constituents who want to keep tax collectors. Luba’s husband, Len, said the elected tax collectors have an average collection rate of 92.65 percent for county taxes. The collection rate is 90 percent in the

three cities where collection is handled by the county, he said. County Treasurer’s Office Manager/Tax Administrator Laura Beers estimated the county could save several hundred thousand dollars handling the service in-house. Council members said they need more research and discussion before voting on the matter. The council meeting continued past 11 p.m.

the consolidation of C3i’s U.S. support personnel in Northeastern Pennsylvania, a process that began in 2007 with the opening of a call center in Plains Township that employs 125 customer service workers and managers. C3i also employs 55 at a client site in Swiftwater, Monroe County. Morse said the company’s move to Jenkins Township was influenced by a local workforce familiar with the service industry and the site’s close proximity to the call center in Plains Township. It was also heavily swayed by an attractive state incentive package, he said. “It’s pro-business growth,” Morse said. “We have seen really excellent support by Pennsylvania and Luzerne County … ” That support included state opportunity and job-training grants totaling $560,000 and $454,000 in job creation tax credits, according to Steve Yokimishyn, regional director of the Governor’s Action Team. The depot occupies 41,000 square feet in a 92,400-squarefoot building leased from Mericle Commercial Real Estate. Morse

said having a pre-constructed, modifiable space to move into played a major role in the company’s decision to relocate. “As we looked around and we needed to make decisions in a short time period, this building had to be ready, it had to be empty and ready for us to come in and design it the way we wanted to design it, and so without the

building, we could not be here.” Greater Pittston Chamber of Commerce President Joseph D. Burke said he was optimistic the company’s consolidation in the area could spur future job opportunities. “At the end of the day we think that C3i will create the opportunity for jobs, and good job opportunities,” Burke said. “I think it

would be quite appropriate to say that this acts as a beacon to other companies that might consider investing here and carrying out their work in the community.” According to its website, C3i, headquartered in Morristown, N.J., has about 1,400 employees in its operations in the United States, Bulgaria, China and India.

Yanks skipper earns award

In season away from home, Miley-led SWB is on brink of playoff berth.

By JOHN MEDEIROS jmedeiros@timesleader.com

PHILADELPHIA -- From one incredible city to another, one incredible field hockey career has gone back to school. On Friday, Paige Selenski was back with the University of Virginia squad she had been a part of since graduating from Dallas High in 2008, traveling with the Cavaliers to their seasonopener at Temple in Philadelphia. She had been away from her college proSelenski gram for more than a year in preparation to represent the United States at the London Olympics before rejoining Virginia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was definitely the experience of a lifetime,â&#x20AC;? Selenski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a lot of work -- a lot. But at the same time the reward was more than I could have ever dreamed. It was hard to take time away from the team here, but it was for something that is a truly rare opportunity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The end result was just an amazing experience, one that will stay with me forever.â&#x20AC;? While the Americans didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reach the medal stand, Selenski was among the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top scoring threat, posting a goal in the final game of the tournament. But the Olympic experience was so much more than games, thanks to family and close friends joining her in London. Her greatest memory, though, came from the first day of the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have to say the opening ceremony,â&#x20AC;? Selenski said of her greatest memory from London. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The size of it, what it represents ... it was breathtaking. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing exactly like that anywhere else. Seeing all the people, from all the countries, being there representing the United States, it was an incredible experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got teary-eyed just thinking

The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees were supposed to be buried in the standings this season because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing all of their games on the road. Instead, the team is on the verge of clinching its fifth International League North Division title in six years. On Tuesday, the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skipper Dave Miley was named International Miley League Manager of the Year after being voted on by the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s managers, coaches, media and club representatives. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the second time Miley received the honor after winning it in 2007, his first season with the SWB Yankees. Despite the Yankees being homeless this season, they have posted the second-best record in the I.L. with an 81-47 mark. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is really difficult to adequately describe the job Dave Miley has done in the 2012 season,â&#x20AC;? New York Yankees Senior Vice President of Baseball Operations Mark Newman said in a press release by the team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dave has met the extraordinary challenge of leading a team playing 144 games on the road with extraordinary success.

about that you are there for your country.” After London, Selenski got to spend a few days in the Back Mountain area with family before getting back to Charlottesville and the No. 8 team in Division I. “I didn’t have to get right back to college, so I got to spend some time with family and friends,” Selenski said. “I needed a little time off -- I needed it physically and I needed a mental break, too.” She has plenty of fond memories of her days at Dallas, and credits participation in other sports, like track and field, with helping her have the success in field hockey she is enjoying now. After playing to packed houses in England, Selenski smiles as she recalls her days with the Mountaineers. “High school wise, everything is on such a smaller scale,” she said. “It feels so close and yet, now, it’s so far away. When you are on a stage such as the Olympics, playing in front of over 18,000 people like that, and you think back to playing in high school just four years ago. It’s wow, I was playing on grass and the game was so much slower. “It all just seems crazy now looking back.” Her time away from the Virginia program saw the team slip below .500 without the All-American and her Olympic teammate, Michelle Vittese. But during her time away, Selenski – already one of the best in the country – got even better.

The unpredictable part will be the fans, eager to see a football game without the heavy baggage of the last game at Beaver Stadium – coincidentally, also against Nebraska last November, days after Jerry Sandusky was arrested and Joe Paterno was fired. For Solich, the key is to shut out as much of that background noise as possible. “Number one, it’s obvious that the reason we’re going to Penn State is to play a football game,” Solich said. “And that’s what were focused on. We’ve tried to not have all the other areas that can surround a football game – and certainly this one – enter into it. Because we’re just prepar-

ACES Continued from Page 1B

6-4, 6-4 victory — Roddick knows more than ever he needs to rely on the best thing he’s got, and 20 aces helped this time. “You really don’t see that shot,” Williams said glowingly about Roddick’s serve. Heading into his Grand Slam debut, the 283rd-ranked Williams had one primary concern: “I was just hoping he wasn’t going to go at me with a serve.” “I’m like, ‘Oh, no. Where’s he going?’ That’s the first thing I thought of. Then it was, ‘It’ll be great. I can play in front of a big crowd.’ It was quite an experience,” said Williams, the NCAA runner-up for the University of Tennessee last year and a 12year-old when Roddick won the U.S. Open in 2003. That was the last Grand Slam singles title for an American man, the longest drought in history for a country that produced the likes of Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi, John McEnroe and Jimmy Connors (not to mention others such as Bill Tilden or Don Budge). Roddick found himself in an era dominated by Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal — and, more recently and to a lesser extent, Novak Djokovic, who began defense of his U.S. Open title by overwhelming 69th-ranked Paolo Lorenzi of Italy 6-1, 6-0, 6-1 on Tuesday night — and while he is without a second major championship for his resume, he kept adapting his game to try to do just that. Roddick dedicated himself to stronger fitness. He learned a better backhand. He improved

Public relations pros say Armstrong’s status isn’t soiled despite happenings. By BREE FOWLER AP Business Writer

JOHN MEDEIROS/THE TIMES LEADER

Paige Selenski charts the scorebook for the University of Virginia in its season-opener last week at Temple. Selenski, who competed in the London Olympics, had a day off in the victory.

“She’s much more professional about what she does,” Virginia coach Michele Madison said. “She’s always been very committed, had exceptional ball skills and such. But it’s amazing how she’s taken it to yet another level.” All in all, Selenski has had an impressive career, even though there’s still a long way for it to go. She scored Sunday at Penn State, giving her 74 goals in 70 college games – placing her near the top 100 all-time Division I scorers. A season like her last at U.Va. would put her over the century mark in goals, and propel her well past 200 career points. She also has one Olympics un-

der her belt and another in her sights – she is frank about her desire to play in Rio in 2016. All this success, welcomed by the three-time college All-American, seemed like nothing more than the wildest of dreams when she wore her trademark blue Dallas field hockey uniform. “I wanted to be on the national team,” Selenski said. “But even when I was on the junior team, I just never thought I would be able to make the national team in my junior year of college. “When you’re that young, you never think you can get to that level.” Yet Selenski did, her dedication paying off with a trip to the

world’s biggest sporting stage. And likely another one in the future. NEW COACH: Former Abington Heights standout Kaitie Notarianni moved from player to coach, joining the staff at William and Mary. Notarainni played four years at Quinnipiac, where she was the fourth player in school history to record 20 goals and10 assists in a career. William and Mary is looking to rebound from some recent down seasons. Its head coach is Peel Hawthorne, who won her 300th career game during the season’s opening weekend.

ing to play a game. “Now, there are a lot of things that have to be addressed to make sure that your guys feel as comfortable as possible in going there and getting lined up to play the game. To have as few surprises prior to the kickoff as there can be.” Solich is well familiar with overwhelming crowds from his six years as head coach at Nebraska, a program he spent nearly 30 years at as a player and a coach. And the Bobcats, long an afterthought in the Mid-American Conference, are now the league favorite, having been to three straight bowl games and winning one last season for the first time in school history. In other words, Ohio is better prepared to play in a place like Penn State than nearly all of the Lions’ recent opening oppo-

nents, populated with FCS outfits like Coastal Carolina, Youngstown State and Indiana State. Solich brings a big-game mentality to the Bobcats. And he knows as well as anyone the task that lies ahead of Bill O’Brien in his first game leading the Lions. Born near Johnstown in western Pennsylvania, Solich happened to be the one to replace legendary ’Huskers coach Tom Osborne, being selected for the job by an athletic director handpicked by Graham Spanier, the former Nebraska chancellor and Penn State president. Despite winning 59 games in six years at Nebraska, Solich was fired because of those incredibly high expectations set by his predecessor. “Obviously he’s got more challenges than most any football coach that I can remember,” So-

lich said of O’Brien. “But the challenge of replacing a program with a tremendously successful coach prior to you is daunting. When you look at the Nebraska situation, not only did Tom Osborne win three national championships and had tremendous success, especially at the end, but he set the program’s expectations right at the very top in the country. And Bob Devaney was before Tom, and he started the success at Nebraska. “Obviously Joe, Coach Paterno, was at Penn State for all those years and had all that success. And the expectations there are, I’m sure, very much the same as what they were when I took over at Nebraska. “There’s some things that transpired that, obviously, complicated things more (for O’Brien).”

his volleying. “I saw the way the game was going. You have to get stronger and quicker. I don’t think there was much room for a plodder who could hit the ball pretty hard,” Roddick said. “It was a conscious effort, at times, and I feel like that’s added to longevity a little bit.” Following Roddick into Arthur Ashe Stadium was 32-yearold Venus Williams, playing her first U.S. Open match since she pulled out before the second round in 2011 and revealed she had been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. “Honestly, I didn’t even understand what I was going through at that time last year. I feel like just this summer I’ve come to acceptance. Like it takes a long time to come to acceptance, especially when you’re an athlete. You see yourself as this healthy person that nothing can defeat you,” Williams said. “So it takes a while before you can kind of see yourself as someone with flaws and chips in the armor. Now that I have come to accept it, it helps me a lot in how I need to prepare for my matches, the mindset I need to come into it.” After a shaky start, dropping the first two games — and even seven points in a row in one stretch — Williams used her own powerful serve to right herself and beat Bethanie MattekSands of the U.S. 6-3, 6-1. One serve at 124 mph jammed Mattek-Sands’ left index finger, shoving it into a racket string so hard she needed attention from a trainer. “She was crushing her serves,” Mattek-Sands said. “I don’t think anyone’s returning those, so I’m not going to beat myself up too much.”

NEW YORK — Lance Armstrong’s reputation may be permanently stained but in the eyes of corporate and individual donors, his charity still wears an unsullied yellow jersey. Armstrong announced last week he would no longer fight the doping allegations that have dogged him for years. He was subsequently stripped of his record seven Tour de France titles and banned from professional cycling. But in the days following the announcement, the Lance Armstrong Foundation was showered with donations and pledges of continued support for its mission of promoting cancer awareness and research. Public relations professionals say that while the famous cyclist and cancer survivor remains a polarizing figure, even his nay-

the first game since the death of Joe Paterno, the conviction of Jerry Sandusky and the establishment of severe sanctions on the team by the NCAA. “If our guys can control their emotions and play within themselves and not try to be heroes – just play the way they’ve been playing in practice – then we’ll have a (good) shot early on,” O’Brien said. “But it’s something that we have talked about and we’ll continue to talk about.” And, naturally, the same thing holds true for the coach himself. “I will certainly have butterflies before this game,” O’Brien said. “I’d be crazy to tell you otherwise. I mean, this is my first football game as a head football coach. But as soon as you kick it off – and for me, as soon as we start calling plays on offense and get the thing going – then obviously you’re focused on the game and the butterflies go away.” Infirmary report The Lions expect to have most of their team ready to go to face the Bobcats. Only three players – reserves Mark Arcidiacono, Brad Bars and Ty Howle – have been ruled out. O’Brien said he expects players who have been dealing with minor injuries during camp, like defensive end Pete Massaro and safety Jake Fagnano, will suit up on Saturday. Massaro was dealing with

Andy Roddick returns a shot to Rhyne Williams in the first round of play at the US Open Tuesday, in New York.

Venus Williams won the 2000 and 2001 U.S. Opens, two of her seven career Grand Slam titles. That’s half as many as her younger sister, Serena, who began her bid for No. 15 with a 6-1, 6-1 victory over 75th-ranked CoCo Vandeweghe in Tuesday’s last match in Ashe, yet another all-American affair. The younger Williams won the U.S. Open in 1999, 2002 and 2008, and is among the favorites in 2012 considering the way she dominated the competition recently while winning Wimbledon and a gold medal at the London Olympics. “We need more American champions here to hold up these amazing trophies,” Serena Williams said. Three of the day’s most notable upsets were turned in by young, up-and-coming Ameri-

cans. In singles, 19-year-old Sloane Stephens, who is ranked 44th, eliminated 2010 French Open champion Francesca Schiavone 6-3, 6-4. And in doubles, 19year-old Jack Sock and 22-yearold Steve Johnson knocked out the top-seeded team of Max Mirnyi of Belarus and Daniel Nestor of Canada 1-6, 7-6 (4), 6-2, while brothers Ryan and Christian Harrison defeated last year’s runners-up, Mariusz Fyrstenberg and Marcin Matkowski of Poland 7-6 (3), 2-6, 7-6 (7). One other exit of significance: 2009 runner-up Caroline Wozniacki, who began the year ranked No. 1 but has struggled and was seeded eighth, lost 6-2, 6-2 against 96th-ranked IrinaCamelia Begu of Romania. Bothered by a bad right knee, Wozniacki also lost in the first round at Wimbledon.

a 1,678 – 1,271 record. He has been the only manager in SWB Yankees history and in seven seasons as the manager of the Yankees top affiliate he is 563430. Including 2012, Miley has posted a winning record in 19 of his 21 seasons. "What Dave has done with his team would be impressive in a normal situation,” SWB Yan-

sayers will have a hard time turning their back on the foundation and its trademark Livestrong yellow bracelets. Armstrong’s decision not to contest the doping charges may allow both him and his charity to finally move on, they say. “He never said he’s guilty, he said he’s sick of fighting,” said Peter Shankman, a vice president at the public relations firm Vocus Inc., noting that none of the allegations against Armstrong have been proven. “He becomes a hero in this.” Armstrong, who retired a year ago and turns 41 next month, denies he ever took banned substances in his career, calling the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency’s investigation a “witch hunt” carried out without any physical evidence. He said Thursday he would no longer challenge the USADA’s allegations and declined to enter the agency’s arbitration process. On Friday, the USADA wiped out 14 years of Armstrong’s career and barred him from the sport for life. some knee soreness in camp. The fifth-year senior is coming back from his second ACL surgery. “I do expect Pete to play. Pete has played a lot of good football for Penn State, and he’s really a top-notch kid,” O’Brien said. “He plays hard. He’s had some knee issues, and so I expect him to play on Saturday. … And then as the season goes on, just like with most veteran older players, we’re going to have to monitor how much he practices and plays.” Redshirt freshman Deion Barnes will likely spell Massaro throughout the game. Fagnano and Stephen Obeng-Agyapong could both see time at strong safety. Rounding out the lineup With the opener approaching, O’Brien said he still hasn’t finalized every starting position. At the opening of practice on Tuesday, senior Mike Farrell was reportedly warming up with the first team offensive line, ahead of junior Adam Gress at right tackle. O’Brien also said he wasn’t certain on who he would have returning punts and kicks in the opener, confirming only that sophomore Alex Kenney will be in the mix. “Haven’t really decided on that yet,” O’Brien said. “You guys will see for yourself on Saturday who we have back there. That’s something that’s ongoing. And the places that I’ve been before, it’s a competition throughout the week, and then on game day we’ll let them know who’s returning kicks and punts.” kees President and General Manager Rob Crain said in the release. “With the challenges he and his staff encountered this year, his efforts have been nothing short of remarkable.” Scranton/Wilkes-Barre as a franchise is now third all-time in the International League with five managers of the year in its 24-year history. Miley leads the SWB skippers with two and is joined by Lee Elia (1992), Marc Bombard (2002) and John Russell (2006) as the other Scranton/Wilkes-Barre managers to take top honors.

AMERICAN LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Hughes comes up huge for Yankees The Associated Press

New York — Phil Hughes had another fine start at home, Nick Swisher extended his torrid streak with an RBI single and New York handed Ricky Romero his 11th straight loss Tuesday night with a 2-1 victory over Toronto. Hughes (13-11) won his sixth consecutive decision at Yankee Stadium, giving up only Adeiny Hechavarria’s first major league homer in seven innings. He allowed four hits and walked three. Rafael Soriano bounced back from a blown save Monday night, when he gave up a goahead homer to Colby Rasmus with two outs in the ninth, by working a perfect inning to finish the four-hitter for his 34th save in 37 tries. Curtis Granderson hit a sacrifice fly to help the Yankees to their fifth win in 12 games. They beat Romero (8-12) for the third time during his winless skid. Orioles 6, White Sox 0

BALTIMORE — Chris Tillman allowed one hit over seven innings and Nick Markakis drove in three runs as Baltimore defeated Chris Sale and Chicago for its fourth straight win. Lew Ford homered for the second time in two nights and Adam Jones hit his 100th career home run for the Orioles, who moved a season-high 14 games over .500 (71-57) and remained atop the AL wildcard standings. The only hit against Tillman (7-2) was an infield dribbler by Dayan Viciedo in the fifth inning that shortstop J.J. Hardy couldn’t snag with an attempted barehanded pickup. Pitching on six days’ rest, Tillman walked four, struck out five and did not allow a runner past second.

Athletics 7, Indians 0

CLEVELAND (AP) — Tommy Milone and three Oakland relievers extended Cleveland’s scoreless streak to 22 innings. Brandon Moss and Chris Carter homered off Zach McAllister (5-5) as Oakland won its fourth straight to remain tied with Baltimore atop the AL wild-card race. Oakland is 5-0 against Cleveland and has won 10 of 12 since dropping eight of 13. Milone (11-9) worked six innings. Jerry Blevins, Pat Neshek and Evan Scribner completed Oakland’s third straight shutout over the Indians. Rangers 1, Rays 0

ARLINGTON, Texas — Yu Darvish struck out 10 over seven innings for the Texas Rangers to win a 1-0 pitchers’ duel against James Shields and the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday night. Ian Kinsler homered to give Texas enough against the suddenly sliding Rays, who have lost four in a row, had runners on base in each of the first five innings against Darvish (13-9) and still couldn’t score. It was their fourth 1-0 loss this season — all in their last 22 games this month. Mariners 5, Twins 2

MINNEAPOLIS — Dustin Ackley hit a three-run homer, Hisashi Iwakuma was hard to hit and the Seattle Mariners beat the stumbling Minnesota Twins 5-2 on Tuesday night. Iwakuma (5-3) gave up just one hit and one unearned run over six innings in another strong start for the rookie from Japan. The right-hander struck out four and helped send the Twins to their 16th defeat in their last 19 games despite four walks, a hit batsman and a wild pitch.

Strasburg struggles as Nats lose another The Associated Press

MIAMI — Stephen Strasburg pitched as badly as his teammates have been playing. Strasburg gave up a careerhigh seven runs in five innings Tuesday night and the firstplace Washington Nationals’ losing streak reached five games when they were beaten by Ricky Nolasco and the lastplace Miami Marlins 9-0. Nolasco (10-12) allowed five hits in his third career shutout and eighth complete game. Strasburg (15-6) came into the game with a streak of 27 consecutive scoreless innings against Miami in five starts since last September. But he gave up a homer to his second batter, Justin Ruggiano, and trailed 5-0 by the third inning. Mets 9, Phillies 5, 10 innings

PHILADELPHIA — Ike Davis hit a tiebreaking double during a four-run 10th inning, Kelly Shoppach had a two-run homer and the New York Mets beat the Philadelphia Phillies 9-5 Tuesday night for their third straight victory. Shoppach hit a tying double in the eighth and then connected off B.J. Rosenberg (0-2). Mike Baxter also hit a two-run shot for the Mets, who are 6-1 in Philadelphia this season. It was the first time in 10 games New York scored more than three runs. Ryan Howard hit a grand slam and Chase Utley had a solo shot for the Phillies, who had won four straight. Pirates 9, Cardinals 0

PITTSBURGH — Pedro Alvarez homered twice and drove in four runs, James

McDonald scattered two hits over seven innings and the Pittsburgh Pirates beats the St. Louis Cardinals 9-0 on Tuesday night. Alvarez hit a two-run homer in the third to give the Pirates a comfortable lead, added an RBI double in the fourth then hit a 469-foot blast to center in the sixth. He went 4 for 5 as Pittsburgh drew within two games of the Cardinals in the race for the NL’s second wildcard spot. McDonald (12-6) gave up two hits, walked one and struck out six to beat the Cardinals and Jake Westbrook (13-10) for the second time in the last two weeks. Brewers 4, Cubs 1

CHICAGO — Jeff Bianchi hit a three-run shot for his first big league homer, leading the Milwaukee Brewers to a 4-1 win over the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday night. Bianchi went deep off Travis Wood (4-11) with two outs in the second for Milwaukee, which has won seven of eight overall and has beaten the Cubs seven straight times. Giants 3, Astros 2

HOUSTON — Pinch-hitter Hector Sanchez connected on the go-ahead RBI single in the ninth inning and the San Francisco Giants rallied for a 3-2 win over the Houston Astros on Tuesday night. The Giants were down 2-1 entering the ninth. Brandon Belt singled off Wesley Wright to start inning before pinchhitter Joaquin Arias doubled down the left field line off Wilton Lopez (5-3) to score Belt and tie it 2-2.

NHL

‘Meaningful step’ taken in new proposal by league Commissioner Bettman said he’s happy about it and players are still evaluating. The Associated Press

NEW YORK — The NHL issued a new proposal to the players’ association Tuesday as a lockout looms next month. And at least one side is happy about it. “We believe,” NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said, “that we made a significant, meaningful step.” Time will tell, but at least NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr and his players have an-

other proposal — the league’s second this summer — to digest. The two sides will meet again on Wednesday at the NHL offices. A less optimistic Fehr labeled the offering “a proposal that we intend to respond to.” Meanwhile, Bettman called it a “counterproposal” to the offer the players presented to the league earlier this month. In that proposal, the players had offered to take two-, four- and six-percent reductions in Hockey Related Revenue for the first three years of a new collective bargaining agreement. “We felt in order to move the process along,” Bettman said, “we tried to address the fundamental issues.”

Neither the league nor the players would divulge specifics of the proposal, although Montreal forward Mathieu Darche said he was “encouraged.” “We had a lot of people at the office evaluating the proposal,” said Darche, who estimated he received “20, 25 texts” from players asking for details of the different proposal. “It didn’t take them five minutes to write it and it won’t take us five minutes to read it.” The current CBA expires Sept. 15 and the NHL has said it will lock the players out if a new deal isn’t reached. Limiting the personnel at the bargaining table in the hope of

making progress, only Fehr and his top assistant, Steve Fehr, met with Bettman and NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly on Tuesday morning when the proposal was issued. Traditionally, several players have joined in on the talks. Tuesday’s session was the second time in six days that the meeting was limited to just the four executives. They met for two hours last Wednesday in Toronto, exclusively. That meeting was to discuss the state of the negotiations. “We don’t know the answer to that,” Fehr said when asked if the smaller meetings jumpstarted the negotiating process. “If it

doesn’t (work), we’ll find another way.” After the sessions in Toronto, the return to New York was a strange one for both sides. Negotiations resumed in the morning, as planned, but then took a slight break while Fehr left the building. Upon exiting, he told reporters talks had paused just for a bit. “I think the appropriate thing to do under the circumstances is go back (to our office). We’ve got constituents and so on,” Fehr said at the time. “And so we’ll see you later on I’m sure.” He eventually returned to confirm the proposal, and was joined by player representatives this time. Fehr was accompanied by

Darche, San Jose defenseman Douglas Murray and Winnipeg defenseman Ron Hainsey. Tuesday’s session was billed as “core economic,” and if nothing else, the players now have more to work with. “I’m trying to get us on to the same page,” Bettman said. “I’m trying to get us on to a common language.” But, clearly, he knows what he’s up against. In fact, following the session, Bettman said he wouldn’t “feel better about this process until it is successfully completed.” He defined successful completion as having “a collective bargaining agreement.” Time’s running out for that.

Pistorius downplays Paralympics chances The Blade Runner said he might struggle and there are very good opponents. By ROB HARRIS AP Sports Writer

LONDON — After his trailblazing Olympic debut, doubleamputee Oscar Pistorius is downplayinghischancesofdominating at the Paralympics. The “Blade Runner” said Tuesday that he could struggle to defendhisParalympictitleinthe100 meters, opting instead to focus on winning the 200 and 400 again. “I’dlovetodefendmy(100)title ... I just think I have really moved away from the100,” Pistorius said from Olympic Park, a day before he will carry the South African flag at the opening ceremony. “I ran my first race in the100 meters last weekend in 16 months, and I ran in11.1into quite a strong headwind. “So I feel like I am in quite strong shape to be a feature in that race, but some of the top guys are still running quicker than I am and that’s their focus. They will be resting for the 100.” World champion Jerome Singleton and world record holder Jonnie Peacock are Pistorius’ greatest threats in the short sprint next Thursday. “I have to be realistic and say the 200 and 400 are the events I am probably better suited at,” the 25-year-old Pistorius said. Singleton, who will be competing in the 100 and 200, thinks Pistorius “is saying that as an excuse.” “If you are in Olympic shape

and you can compete against the able bodied ... you have to run a quick 100,” the 26-year-old American said in an interview from a promotional event. “You are going to see one of the best races to ever come through at the Paralympics ... we have a new group of people trying to take on the old guard.” Pistorius has a rival closer to home, his athletes’ village roommate Arnu Fourie. “It’s going to be a bit awkward the night before the final— I might have to drop some sleeping pills in his water or something,” Pistorius said, joking. Pistorius made his Olympic debut in the 400 this month at the LondonGames,reachingtheindividual semifinals and competing in the relay final.

Stewart jokes about helmet incident

He made light of the situation when he threw his helmet at Kenseth after a collision. By JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

CONCORD, N.C. — Tony Stewart joked Tuesday that his twohanded toss of his helmet at Matt Kenseth was “not bad for a 41-yearold who doesn’t work out.” Aside from that, Stewart said he’s not expecting any drama between the two drivers despite promising to run over Kenseth every chance he gets this season. “You get over that stuff. It’s been part of racing for as long as I can remember and that won’t be the last time you see two drivers have a dis-

agreement,” Stewart said, adding he’ll only run over Kenseth “if I need to. It’s not our intention to go seek him out. “We’ve gotten along more races than we’ve disagreed.” The three-time NASCAR champion lost his infamous temper Saturday night at Bristol Motor Speedway after contact with Kenseth caused him to wreck as they were racing for the lead. Before making his mandatory trip to the care center, Stewart waited on the track for Kenseth to pass by on pit road, and he heaved his helmet directly at the front grill of Kenseth’s car. Hewasabletojokeaboutthehelmet throw during an event at Charlotte Motor Speedway. He noted the throw was unorthodox but said

using two hands gave him more velocity, and he may take some of his father’s old helmets into his yard to practice his technique. “It may happen again — I’ve got a lot of helmets and a lot of races,” said Stewart, who was pleased NASCAR has not fined him. “I figured I was going to get some kind of penalty for it, so it’s nice to know that’s something you can get away with. I just wish we could get a more lengthy list of what we can do and can’t do. I think we could make it a lot more entertaining if we knew what we could do.” Kenseth said he doesn’t plan to watch his back, but he did say during tire testing at Kansas Speedway on Tuesday that he’ll talk to Stewart the next time they see each other.

“Tony and I have raced together for a really long time,” Kenseth said. “You’re going to have problems here and there. Most of the time it’s not one person’s fault. We’re going to move on.” Kenseth had indicated after the race that there’s a lingering issue between the two after incidents at Sonoma in June and Indianapolis in July, and he said Stewart refused to speak to him after their Indy disagreement. “People aren’t going to see things the same way. If they did there wouldn’t be as many wrecks,” Kenseth said. “He’s shown me a lot of respect on the track and I think I’ve given him the same respect back. ... I think at the end of the day, we’ll get it all worked out.” 906 Homes for Sale

MLB and ESPN reach new deal running through 2021

The contract ends blackout issues, Commissioner Bud Selig said. The deal also addresses a long-running and the network will also broadcast problem for ESPN, which was prevented a wild card game starting in 2014. frombroadcastinggamesinthelocalmarBy RACHEL COHEN AP Sports Writer

NEW YORK — Major League Baseball and ESPN extended their television contract through 2021on Tuesday, a deal that almost doubles the amount of money the network will pay annually for baseball content while also all but eliminating localblackoutsforESPNgamesonMonday and Wednesday nights. ThedealwasannouncedonTuesday.It combines rights for TV, radio, digital and international that had been separate. The new single contract adds new rights to air a wild-card game, along with additional rights to highlights and digital content. It also gives the network more flexibility to show games involving popular teams. The previous contracts were worth close to $360 million a year combined. A person with knowledge of the new combined deal says it will be worth about $700 million a year over eight years. The personspokeontheconditionofanonymity because the financial figures were not released. “ESPN’sfinancialcommitmenttobaseball is extraordinary. ... It’s a testament to not only the strength of our game, but the unprecedentedpopularitywithourfans,”

kets of the teams involved in the game that night. For instance, if ESPN was carrying a Wednesday night game between the Dodgers and Giants, it was unable to show that game in the Los Angeles and San Francisco metro areas. The new agreement, which begins in 2014, allows ESPN to increase the numberof“coexists,”meaningthatagamebetween the Dodgers and Giants can be broadcast on the local television stations in Los Angeles and San Francisco, and ESPN. “We’re ESPN. We promote the game all day, we take ‘Baseball Tonight’ to the area and then when the game starts, there’s a message that says ‘Not carried in your area,’” ESPN President John Skipper said. “We are now out of that business. The coexist is very important to us.” ESPN still carries exclusive rights for Sunday night games, but Selig said he was pleased with the increased availability of all the games both locally and nationally during the work week.

Westbrook to call it quits as an Eagle The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Brian Westbrook will officially retire as a member of the Eagles on Wednesday and will be honored during a game against Washington in December. The former All-Pro running back played eight seasons with Philadelphia from 2002-09. He is the franchise leader with 9,785 total yards from scrimmage, ranks second in yards rushing (5,995), and third in receptions (426) and total touchdowns (68). He is first among Eagles halfbacks in receptions, yards receiving (3,790) and touchdown catches (29). Westbrook also is first in club history in yards rushing (591) and total touchdowns (6) in the postseason. Westbrook, a third-round selection out of Villanova in 2002, set the all-time record in NCAA Division I-AA with 9,885 all-purpose yards. Washington Redskins ASHBURN, Va. — The Washington Redskins have released tight end Chris Cooley. The 30-year-old Cooley has spent his entire eight-season NFL career with Washington. He has 428 career receptions, including three seasons of at least 70. Injuries limited him to five games and eight receptions last season. The Redskins plan to use Fred Davis as their starting tight end.

Both Britt and the Titans are waiting to hear from the NFL if he faces punishment for a driving under the influence arrest in July. Atlanta Falcons FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — The Atlanta Falcons have released backup quarterback Chris Redman and signed Luke McCown. McCown spent the past three seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars, making two starts among his eight appearances. He worked with Dirk Koetter, who is now the Falcons’ offensive coordinator, which undoubtedly contributed to the decision to bring in a new No. 2 behind starter Matt Ryan on Tuesday. Redman spent five seasons with the Falcons, the last four as Ryan’s little-used backup. Redman struggled in the preseason, completing just 53 percent with one interception.

one of the NFL’s fastest playmakers. It was almost as if Wallace’s lengthy holdout — one that finally came to an end on Tuesday — never happened. Maybe because that’s the way Wallace prefers it. “I’m not dwelling on the past,” Wallace said. “I have no regrets.” He also still doesn’t have the long-term deal he covets. Instead the 26-year-old restricted free agent will play under the one-year, $2.7 million tender offered by the Steelers and hope something lengthier gets worked out before the regular season begins next week. As a rule the Steelers (No. 7 in the APPro32) don’t negotiate contracts during the season. Wallace, who caught a careerhigh 72 passes for 1,193 yards and eight touchdowns last season, remains optimistic an agreement can be reached sometime before Pittsburgh faces Denver on Sept. 9. “This is the team that drafted me and it’s where I want to stay,” Wallace said. “I’m not really worried about down the road. I’m worried about playing football. ...

That was business. I’m not on that right now. I’m here to play football and that’s it.” Even if Wallace won’t be able to actually practice until next week under the league’s collective bargaining agreement. Still, Wallace believes he’ll be ready to face the Broncos even if it means cram sessions getting up to speed on new offensive coordinator Todd Haley’s complex system. “We have two weeks to the game,” Wallace said. “I’ve been working out. I’ve been really good conditioning. I don’t think that’s going to be a problem.” Neither does quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who kept in contact with Wallace during the holdout. The two have developed into one of the NFL’s best deep-passing combinations over the last three years, with Roethlisberger’s arm and Wallace’s speed giving the Steelers an ability to stretch the field few teams can match. While Roethlisberger allows there’s going to be a steep learning curve for Wallace, he’s eager to have Wallace back on the field. “It’s kind of like your parents telling you you get a new car then it has to sit in the driveway because you don’t have any insurance,” Roethlisberger said. “Once you get that insurance, you get out and take it for a ride.”

PHOENIX — College football is in for some big and, some say, much-needed changes with the switch to a four-team playoff. Before we get to that, there’s still a couple more seasons under the current system; the playoffs don’t begin until 2014. And this one will be worth watching. There’s plenty of interesting story lines, from Penn State trying to rebuild in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky child sex-abuse scandal to Urban Meyer’s return to coaching with Ohio State. There’s no shortage of great players, either. Southern California quarterback Matt Barkley skipped the NFL for the chance at a national title, Michigan’s Denard Robinson is a blur even without his shoelaces tied and Wisconsin’s Montee Ball is like trying to tackle a wrecking ball. Great teams? Could be a few of those, too. USC, LSU, Alabama, Oklahoma, Oregon — the BCS could be under a lot of strain this season with those teams all bidding for No. 1. So to get you ready, we’ve got a rundown of some of the things to watch out for this season. Enjoy. TOP TEAMS USC. Barkley is back. So is his top target, Robert Woods. Former Penn State running back Silas Redd was a nice addition. Postseason eligible again, the Trojans aren’t aiming for just any bowl; they want a trip to Miami and national championship. Alabama. The Crimson Tide have won two of the past three national championships. They figure to be contenders for another. LSU. The Honey Badger is gone. All those other NFL prospects — such as defensive end Sam Montgomery and safety Eric Reid — should keep the Tigers from missing him. Oklahoma. The Sooners have a record-setting QB in Landry Jones, a brick wall of an offensive line and with the return of Mike Stoops, Bob’s feisty little brother, they should be good on defense, too. Oregon. LaMichael James and Darron Thomas are gone? Big deal. The Ducks have plenty of other players who can fly in those new winged unis. KEEP AN EYE ON Arkansas. QB Tyler Wilson and

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Michigan can help Big Ten image this week Eighth-ranked Wolverines play defending champion in No. 2 Alabama Saturday night. By ERIC OLSON AP Sports Writer

Michigan and Michigan State are giving the Big Ten a couple of early chances to burnish its national reputation. The conference’s image has taken a beating in some quarters, and not just because of the child-sex scandal at Penn State or the NCAA penalties at Ohio State. There is the perceived gap between the Big Ten and Southeastern Conference, a gap many think is growing wider each season. That, of course, is not a problem exclusive to the Big Ten. But the tension is palpable in a conference that once upon a time boasted of being the best in the land. The SEC wears that label now, and its six straight national titles leave little room for debate. The Big Ten’s recent performances against SEC teams have been less than stellar, and the record against other BCS leagues has been nothing to brag about, either. All this makes for a delicious opener when No. 8 Michigan

plays second-ranked and defending national champion Alabama on Saturday night at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Michigan coach Brady Hoke on Tuesday tried to juke a question about the importance of representing well in the early Big TenSEC matchup. He mentioned the great academic institutions and athletic programs of the Big Ten before acknowledging any duty to fly the flag for the conference. “There is no question that’s part of it when you play a team from another league,” he said on the Big Ten coaches’ teleconference. No. 13 Michigan State, picked by many to win the Legends Division and play Wisconsin again in the Big Ten championship game, can do its part Friday when it opens against 24th-ranked Boise State. Spartans coach Mark Dantonio said he is concerned only about Michigan State, not how the Big Ten stacks up nationally. That argument can wait until later in the fall. “Collectively, we as a group will stand together at the end of the day,” he said. “We’re not going out there representing the Big Ten Conference as much as putting on

the green and white and representing Michigan State today.” The Big Ten was 4-6 in bowl games last year after its teams went a combined 7-7 in the regular season against BCS conference opponents and Notre Dame. Last year’s notable games: Penn State lost for a second straight year to Alabama, Iowa was beaten by Iowa State and Michigan State and Purdue both were beaten by Notre Dame. Since 1999, the Big Ten is 1-8 in the Rose Bowl and its 4-3 bowl mark in 2009 is its only postseason record above .500 in that time frame. Ohio State won the Big Ten’s last national championship, in 2002. The Buckeyes played for the title again in 2006 and ‘07 but were derailed by the SEC’s Florida and LSU. Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema said he’s come to realize the importance of building up the image of the Big Ten in high-profile nonconference games. “If we all win, it makes us all better,” he said. Hoke said he is comfortable having his team play Alabama in the opener. The Wolverines play three of their first five games away from Ann Arbor, including Notre Dame and improving Purdue in back-to-back weeks. They also

play at Nebraska and Ohio State. “We like it, and I like it personally,” Hoke said. “When you want to be the best and you want to be champions and all those things you need to play the best and play those programs that are on a high level. We think as a team, that’s just going to make us better when we get into the Big Ten.”

Harrisburg paper to publish only 3 times a week

Banks’ profits rise 21%

U.S. bank earnings rose 21 percent in the April-June quarter and lending to consumers increased, adding to evidence that the industry is strengthening four years after the financial crisis. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. said Tuesday that the banking industry earned $34.5 billion in the second quarter, up from $28.5 billion in the second quarter of 2011. About 63 percent of U.S. banks reported improved earnings as they were able to set aside less for losses on loans. And the number of troubled banks fell for the fifth straight quarter.

HARRISBURG — Newspapers in Harrisburg, and in Syracuse, N.Y., announced Tuesday they will switch to a three-days-a-week publication schedule in January as their corporate owner continues its shift away from daily printed papers. At The Patriot-News of Harrisburg, which won a Pulitzer Prize earlier this year, there will be an expansion of around-the-clock news coverage online, said publisher John Kirkpatrick. “We are not making this move lightly,” Kirkpatrick wrote in an email announcing the decision. “We understand how important the daily print paper is to a large number of people in our region. However, this is a major step to make sure we are leading, not trailing, in the world of innovation and solutions.” The newspaper will con- At The Patriottinue to publish on Sun- News of Harrisdays, while the other two burg, which won days have not been detera Pulitzer Prize mined.

The Post- news coverage Standard will publish on online, said pubTuesdays, Thursdays and lisher John KirkSundays. “If we simply maintain patrick. the status quo, if we continue to do just what we have been doing — no matter how well we do it — The Post-Standard would face extinction in a matter of years,” Rogers said. “This is an irreversible trend. We either adjust, or we perish.” The two newspapers are owned by Advance Publications Inc. Four other Advance newspapers, The Times-Picayune of New Orleans and the three largest papers in Alabama, said in June that they were switching to three-times-aweek publication. Those changes were accompanied by hundreds of layoffs. In Harrisburg, Kirkpatrick said jobs will almost certainly be reduced, but those decisions are several weeks away and the number of editorial content producers, such as reporters and photographers, would likely remain about the same. A phone message seeking comment left at the parent company was not immediately returned.

Ford makes China moves

Ford Motor Co. is bringing its Lincoln luxury brand to China. CEO Alan Mulally said Tuesday that Ford will start selling Lincolns in China in the second half of 2014. The announcement was a surprise from Ford, which previously said it wanted to re-establish the struggling brand’s reputation in North America before taking it abroad. On Monday Ford broke ground on a sixth assembly plant in China as part of an effort to increase its sales in the world’s largest auto market. The company did not say what vehicles would be built at the $600 million plant in the city of Chongqing.

Lexmark cuts printers, jobs

Lexmark is cutting 1,700 jobs, or almost 13 percent of its workforce, and says it will stop making inkjet printers as part of a drive to cut costs as it deals with shrinking sales of inkjets. The printer and software company said Tuesday that it will close its inkjet supply plant in the Philippines by the end of 2015. It is also putting its inkjet technology up for sale. Lexmark International Inc., based in Lexington, Ky., says it will continue to provide support and supplies for its inkjet printers still in use.

Scrutiny for energy drinks

New York officials are investigating marketing and health claims made by several energy drink makers. A person familiar with the inquiry, speaking on condition of anonymity because the investigation hasn’t yet been made public, says New York state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman issued subpoenas this summer to the makers of 5-Hour Energy, AMP and Monster energy drinks.

IBM introduces new super computers The Associated Press

ARMONK, N.Y. — IBM on Tuesday introduced a new line of mainframe computers the company calls its most powerful and technologically advanced ever. IBM said its zEnterprise EC12 mainframe server is designed to help clients securely and quickly sift through massive amounts of data, meeting the demands of retail and other clients in the age of “Big Data.” Running at 5.5 GHz, the microprocessor that powers the mainframe is the fastest chip in the

world, IBM said. Processing speed is 25 percent faster than the previous model. Mainframes are used by corporate clients ranging from banks to chain stores. IBM says the new model could be used by retailers to manage online transactions and analyze clients’ buying habits and then use the information to create a “more customized shopping experience,” such as a custom coupon issued during a transaction. “Whether its retail or whether its transportation, making reserva-

This air mass will be content to remain in place through Thursday with very low humidity and readings Thursday morning outside of town will dip into the upper 40s. On Friday, a west wind will deliver a dose of hot air our way, and by 3 p.m. , temps could be flirting with 90. The weekend will remain warm and as it looks now, probably rain free.

CHEF’S CORNER PATTI GRAZIANO VANDERLYN’S RESTAURANT

Prosciutto, pears perfectly paired in summer salad

MCT PHOTO

A crunchy crumb topping contributes to the appearance of this simple cake.

One of the great advantages of living in Northeastern Pennsylvania is the local farmers markets. You can select the season’s finest produce, it’s cost effective, and it contributes to our community’s economy. The array of fruits and vegetables makes it easy to incorporate fresh, healthy choices for all of our meals. I recently bought some delicious pears and created this tasty salad that has a refreshing pear vinaigrette that “pairs” well with the baby spinach, Manchego cheese and the saltiness of the prosciutto. I used Bartlett pears because they are my favorite. You may use your favorite pear in this recipe; it is very adaptable. This is a quick, easy recipe that can be made in the comfort of your own kitchen or by Vanderlyn’s, where we will prepare and serve it to you. Either way, you will be left smiling after this seasonally delightful salad full of great flavor. We will offer the Pear and Prosciutto Salad beginning today at Vanderlyn’s Restaurant for lunch and dinner. For reservations or additional features call Vanderlyn’s at 283-6260.

PEAR AND PROSCIUTTO SALAD

By LAUREN CHATTMAN

Newsday

n general, the less attractive a summer dessert, the more I enjoy making and eating it. Messy-looking cobblers and crisps have that combination of crisp pastry and juicy fruit that I crave at this time of year. Same goes for rustic free-form crostatas, brown betties and

crumbles. None of them would win a beauty contest, but each one is quick and easy and

delivers fresh fruit flavor along with some buttery goodness. So after I ran through my usual repertoire by the end of July, I was tempted to try something different but equally homely: a buckle. This dessert is made by mixing vanilla cake batter with fruit and then topping the mixture with streusel crumbs. The sunken fruit and crumb topping combine to give the cake a “buckled” appearance when it emerges from the oven. According to baking lore, the buckle dates to Colonial times. Of course, nothing was simple back then. To bake a buckle in the 18th century, the cook first had to build a wood fire and let it burn until it generated hot coals. Then, he or she had to monitor the

heat underneath the cast-iron skillet containing the buckle, moving the skillet around as necessary so the buckle would bake without burning. Today, making a buckle is much easier. The only difficulty is in deciding what kind of fruit to use when so much good stuff is available at farm stands and supermarkets. Blueberries are traditional. Sour cherries (pitted, of course) also are great. Italian plums, pitted and quartered, also would work. I’ve been using a combination of peaches and raspberries, which contribute sweetness and bright acidity to finished cake. The secret to a good crumb topping is in your fingertips. Use your

fingers to blend the butter with some sugar and flour. Then freeze the mixture while you make the cake. Pinch the mixture into small and large crumbs as you scatter them over the batter. The frozen crumbs will hold their shape in the oven, while warmer crumbs might dissolve into a smooth layer. With so much fruit, it can be difficult to tell when your buckle is ready to come out of the oven. Use the toothpick test, inserting one into the center of the cake to see if it comes out clean of cake batter. But a little moisture is OK if it is from the bub-

Yield: 4 servings Ingredients: 3 ripe pears, (your favorite (about 1.5 pounds total) 2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 6 tablespoons olive oil 6 ounces baby spinach 3 ounces Prosciutto, julienned 1/2 cup sugar-glazed pecans 1 ounce Manchego cheese, shaved To taste: black pepper ••• Method of preparation 1. Cut pears in half and core them. Peel one pear half, cut into chunks and place in blender with vinegar, mustard, 1/8 teaspoon of salt and 1/8 teaspoon of pepper. Puree until smooth. 2. With blender running, slowly add oil, until fully incorporated; set aside. 3. Cut remaining (unpeeled) pear halves into 1/2-inch wedges and place in a large bowl with the spinach. Pour the dressing over top and season with remaining salt and black pepper. Toss gently. 4. Place salad on chilled plate, top with prosciutto, pecans and Manchego cheese. Notes: Manchego is a sheep’s-milk cheese of Spanish origin. A vegetable peeler can be used to slice thin pieces of cheese.

Hot dogs take on a haute note By CAROLYN O’NEIL The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

The simple summer pleasure of enjoying a hot dog at the ballpark or on the patio of a casual eatery has evolved into a gourmet event. As part of a nationwide trend, restaurants specializing in hot dogs and sausages such as HD1 in Atlanta are putting the “haute” in hot dog. You can still enjoy a Plain Jane at HD1with a choice of two toppings, such as mustard, ketchup, sweet relish or onion, but chef Richard Blais’ imagination goes way beyond the basic beef. His menu includes haute dogs such as the Little Italy, featuring fennel sausage gar-

nished with San Marzano tomato ketchup, and a Bavarian bratwurst with beerbraised onions. Dietitian Lanier Dabruzzi likes the highend dog trend. “I think the ‘haute’ dog rage is actually great. People aren’t stuck with those mystery-meat dogs topped with sugary ketchup and relish anymore. A lot of the dogs are now being made with leaner meats and act as a great medium for people to load on the veggies.” Of course, there are a lot of options to load on other toppings that can really pile on the calories. What’ll ya have? At the Varsity, hot dogs are the culinary canvas to take on slaw,

cheese or chili, or you can get them all by ordering the chili cheese slaw dog. Mustard,sauerkraut,picklerelishandchopped onion are the traditional toppings with the least amount of calories. Calorie-free celery salt is an option to sprinkle on at Mike’s Hot Dogs in Sandy Springs, Ga. Count about 315 calories for a regular-size dog on a roll with ketchup. Turkey dogs? They are generally lower in fat and calories than beef- or pork-based dogs, and most places offer a meatless alternative veggie frank, too. Choose a whole-grain bun and you’re on your way to creating a tasty and nutritious summer treat.

Perk up salad with colorful veggies their hearty cousins. Throughout the book, there are tips and suggestions for ways to “add substance” to salads. And if the yummysounding recipes don’t inspire you, the many beautiful color photos will.

By SUSAN M. SELASKY Detroit Free Press

alad is perfect when it’s just too darned hot to cook. Garden-fresh greens topped with vegetables and a glass of crisp, fruity white wine answer the call for dinner.

For inspiration, you need only check out area farmers markets. From crunchy romaine to tender Bibb and peppery arugula, the offerings are hard to resist. And we know that veggies and leafy greens — the darker the leaf, the better — are good for us because they are nutrient-rich. In addition to grilled or raw vegetables, you can add grilled meats or seafood — even a fried egg — to a salad. Figure about 2 cups of loosely packed greens per serving. After you’ve washed the greens, pat them dry or give them a whirl in the salad spinner. Once washed, salad greens will keep

several days in the vegetable crisper. Recently, I was inspired by the ideas in Tasha De Serio’s aptly titled “Salad for Dinner: Simple Recipes for Salads That Make a Meal” (Taunton, $19.95). The book covers all types of salads, from ones with greens to vegetable and fruit salads and those with grains, beans and pasta. “Leafy greens are the quintessential staple in salads, and they add flavor, texture and color,” De Serio writes. She recommends pairing tender greens with other tender greens and hearty ones with

Serves: 4 to 6 (main-dish salads) Preparation time: 15 minutes Total time: 40 minutes Add rolled or folded thin slices of prosciutto and hard-cooked egg quarters to this salad if desired. Kosher salt 3/4 pound thin green beans, stem ends trimmed 1 clove garlic, crushed 2 1/2 tablespoons sherry or red-wine vinegar, or more as needed 1/2 cup plus 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil 1 small red onion, thinly sliced 3/4 cup blanched slivered almonds 3/4 pound sweet red or orange peppers, halved, cored, seeded and thinly sliced 1/4 cup roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley 1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh

1/4-inch-thick slices (about 2 cups) 1 cup raspberries, washed and picked over 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened 3/4 cup granulated sugar 1 large egg 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1/2 cup milk 1. Make the topping: Combine the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and mix with your fingers, pinching the butter pieces, until the mixture looks like coarse meal with some larger crumbs. Place it in the freezer while making the cake batter. 2. Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray. Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. In another bowl, toss the peaches and raspberries with 1/4 cup of the flour mixture. 3. Cream together the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer until light

and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl once or twice as necessary. Add 1/3 of the remaining flour mixture until incorporated. Add 1/2 of the milk. Repeat, alternating flour and milk and ending with flour. Gently stir the berries and peaches into the batter. 4. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth into an even layer with a small metal spatula. Squeeze the crumb mixture through your fingertips and onto the top of the cake, forming small and large crumbs in an even layer. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean of batter (there might be moisture clinging to it from the fruit), 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Run a sharp paring knife around the sides of the pan to loosen the cake before releasing the sides. Slice and serve. Makes 8 to 10 servings.

marjoram Fresh ground black pepper 4 large handfuls frisee (pale center leaves) washed and dried, or favorite salad greens Bring a pot of water to boil and season generously with salt. Have a baking sheet lined with parchment ready. Add the beans to the boiling water and cook until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Drain the beans, spread them on the baking sheet and set aside to cool. Meanwhile, make the vinaigrette. In a small bowl, combine the garlic and vinegar; let sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Then whisk in 1/2 cup olive oil. Using a green bean, taste the vinaigrette and adjust

with more vinegar or salt if necessary. Set aside. Put the red onion in a small bowl and cover with ice water to crisp and remove some of its hotness. Set aside. Warm a small saute pan over medium heat and add the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil and the slivered almonds. Fry the almonds, tossing or stirring frequently, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt. Drain the onion well. Put the green beans, onion, peppers and herbs in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Gently but thoroughly toss the salad with just enough vinaigrette (you

might not use it all) to lightly coat the vegetables. Taste and add more salt or vinegar if necessary. Add the frisee and almonds to the bowl, seasoning lightly with salt, and toss again, adding just enough vinaigrette to lightly coat. Taste once more for salt and acid. Transfer the salad to a platter or individual serving plates. Adapted from “Salad for Dinner: Simple Recipes for Salads That Make a Meal” by Tasha De Serio (Taunton, $19.95).

Transgender woman must now deal with a new, unforeseen change Dear Abby: I am a confused transwoman. I have been in a committed relationship for years with a woman who knew me before “the change.” I have lied to myself for a long time about what gender I have been attracted to, and now it’s coming back to haunt me. As I have gone through several years changing, my confidence and emotional depth have grown. I successfully transitioned two years ago, and live and work as a woman. This means when I go to clubs and bars with other girlfriends, I attract male attention in a positive way. The problem is, my attraction to women is fading and men are now

DEAR ABBY ADVICE much more appealing. My pulse races at the idea of spending time in the company of men, but no longer with women, who are now more like sisters than anything else. My relationship with my current female spouse has become that of a housemate or female family member. She was there for me during my changes, and now I feel I am evolving away from her. This upsets me, and I know it upsets her because we have talked about the possibility that this might occur. Now I’m worried about breaking her heart, but feel if I don’t move on, I will have cheated myself.

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

What should I do? Should I swallow my feelings and stay with her, or admit that in order to feel like a heterosexual woman I must leave and be in a relationship with a man? Help! — Lost Angel Dear Lost: I discussed your letter with Denise Leclair, the executive director of the International Foundation for Gender Education (IFGE), who tells me that what you’re experiencing is not unusual. Transgender people can be so consumed with gender issues that they are sometimes unfocused on whom they are really attracted to. While I can’t make this decision for you, you can get some helpful input from IFGE. Founded in 1987, it offers support and educational services for

CRYPTOQUOTE

and about gender-variant persons — including referrals to medical and psychological professionals. You can email IFGE at info@ifge.org. Dear Abby: Thanks for the wonderful letters and sage advice over the years. I can’t tell you how many columns I have clipped and shared. Some years ago when I was teaching in Massachusetts, a dear friend, Pat, told me about something she did that impressed me. Every year on her birthday, she sent flowers to her parents with a note thanking them for their love and support. I adopted her idea. We have a Mother’s Day and a Father’s Day, but isn’t Pat’s idea wonderful? Many parents would be thrilled to receive flowers from their child on

his or her birthday, especially when a note accompanies the bouquet. After all, the parents gave the children life and nurturing. It seems only right that children should show their appreciation at that special time. Please share this idea with your readers. — Former Teacher in Athens, Ga. Dear Teacher: Thank you for sharing your friend’s tradition. It’s not the first time I’ve heard this, but I’m pleased to share her terrific idea with those who are receptive. 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). Your best self is seldom born of a perfectly comfortable environment. The ideal circumstance may be ideal precisely because rising above it is required. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The magic of lowered expectations will play a part in today’s action. If you feel that you are on a path to nowhere, anything that comes of the journey seems like a bonus. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You wouldn’t dare brag about your latest exploits, but if you don’t tell people what you’ve been up to, you’ll miss out on future opportunities. You’ll be powerfully modest as you express the truth about what you do. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your life force surges into and through everything you pick up today. Your results shape up in a way that is uniquely you. You can and will keep going until you get to the end of the goal. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Fear keeps you alert better than coffee can. It also plays with your sense of time. Your performance will get a lift because you channel your fear well. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll confide in people and let them in on your secrets. A small reworking of the way you talk about yourself and your business will make a huge difference. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Don’t wait for the universe to sign your permission slip to go on the field trip of your dreams. The only kind of permission necessary for this one is the kind you can grant yourself.

MINUTE MAZE JUMBLE BY MICHEAL ARGIRION & JEFF KNUREK

HOW TO CONTACT: Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Extremes won’t be necessary. Everything comes together because you did a little more of what you wanted to do and a little less of what you didn’t want to do. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Shoes are both functional and symbolic. In light of the meaning and influence that symbols have, might your life be revolutionized by a new pair of shoes? The jury is still out on that one. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). People who claim to have balance have a very different definition of it from yours. Once you figure out that balance is a myth, you can stop all that stressful striving for it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your whole goal is to make other people’s lives easier. You’ll be considerate and follow instructions, which makes others feel comfortable and safe around you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Think about what you really want so that you can better communicate it to others. The relationships in your life will test you. To pass the test, you have to be specific and clear. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 29). Who you are is always changing. You’re willing to define yourself differently, and you’ll like how this moves you to your next evolution. In September, you will change your thinking in regards to money, and your reality will obediently follow. Investments pay in November and May. Cancer and Capricorn people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 25, 49, 3 and 17.
