Jury undecided; Strong faces life County judge will rule, with the jury unable to reach a decision on the death penalty in a 1983 slaying. By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Two juries have convicted James Strong of first-degree murder – one in 1984 and another just last week. But unlike the first, the jury Thursday couldn’t decide whether Strong should be put to death – and now it will be up to

a Luzerne County judge to sentence the 59-yearold to life in prison without parole. After deliberating Thursday for just more than three hours, a jury of nine men and three Strong women told Judge Thomas Burke it couldn’t come to a unanimous decision. The jury had convicted him of first-degree murder in the 1983 shooting death of John Strock in Dorrance Township. Burke will now be required to sen-

tence Strong to life in prison. At Strong’s first trial he was sentenced to the death penalty, but his conviction and sentence were overturned by the state Supreme Court because Strong’s co-defendant failed to disclose a deal he had with prosecutors. Because Strong also was convicted last week of four related charges, including robbery and kidnapping, Burke will sentence him on June 22. “Thank God it’s over,” Strong said Thursday while leaving the Bernard C. Brominski county courthouse building after hearing the jury’s decision.

Strong’s mother and sister, Gennetta and Joyce, gave Strong the thumbs up and blew him a kiss. Attorneys in the case are still under a gag order that prohibits them from making comments until after Strong is sentenced. Attorneys did, however, voice their opinions on what Strong’s sentence should be in closing arguments Thursday. Assistant District Attorney Michael Melnick tried debunk each of the reasons Strong’s attorneys presented. See STRONG, Page 10A

The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection is calling on the governor and state Legislature to tighten regulations on natural gas drilling in the Marcellus Shale. In a letter sent May 27 to Gov. Tom Corbett’s Marcellus Shale Advisory Commission, DEP Secretary Michael L. Krancer suggests a sweeping set of amendments – more than 20 in total – be made to the state Oil and Gas Act, the supreme state law governing natural gas drilling. The recommendations include increas- Krancer ing well setbacks from 200 feet to 500 feet from private water wells and to 1,000 feet from a public water supply, prohibiting well sites in floodplains, ramping up the civil and criminal penalties DEP may levy for violating environmental laws and increasing DEP’s autonomy in levying fines. The 30-member Governor’s Advisory Commission, created in March, is charged with reviewing laws and guidelines affecting MarcellusShalenaturalgasdevelopment and making recommendations to promote efficient and environmentally sound development of the shale. Krancer recommended wastewater used in hydraulic fracturing be tracked “cradle to grave” with manifests at wells using more than 80,000 gallons of water in hydraulic fracturing, and the presumptive liability of gas drillers when environmental contaminaSee DEP, Page 10A

Kindergarten points made

Group of Crestwood parents and residents rallies against switch to half-day sessions. By STEVE MOCARSKY smocarsky@timesleader.com

WRIGHT TWP. – Dozens of concerned parents and residents of Crestwood School District packed a tiny Mountain Top church Thursday night for an informational rally on the negative academic and financial impacts of the school district switching from full-day to halfday kindergarten. A group of parents banded together after the School Board voted on a proposed final budget for the 2011-12 school year that predicts a savings of $289,000 through the switch and studied the issue. “But in reality, when they start figuring in all the consequential costs and the incidentals that go into it, it really doesn’t present the upside of the financial savings, but the downside of compromising the kids’ education is still there,” said parent Peter Strecker.

Strecker pointed out areas in which projected savings would be totally eaten away with the switch, including increased unemployment insurance, more students needing individual education plans and fringe benefits for teachers called back to cover leaves of absence. He also said savings from layoffs would be about $85,000 less than the administration estimated. Crestwood parent Daisha Medvetz presented advantages of full-day kindergarten over half-day based on research studies, which showed full-day kindergarten students are more creative and cooperative and tend to think more independently, experience fewer grade retentions, receive fewer special-education placements and earn better report-card grades. After Crestwood switched from half-day to full-day kindergarten in 2004, significantly less students were scoring below basic on standardized tests for math and reading and more students were scoring advanced in those areas, Medvetz said, presenting the statistics. A switch to half-day kinder-

garten and the results would make Crestwood a less desirable school district and end up lowering property values and the tax base, said Michael Johnson, president of the Greater Wilkes-Barre Association of Realtors. Parent Kristin Joseph urged everyone to call their state representatives and ask that they vote to restore the Accountability Block Grant to schools to fund areas such as full-day kindergarten and call the School Board members to ask them to restore full-day kindergarten before the next School Board meeting, which is at 6:30 p.m. June 23 in the high school auditorium. State Rep. Gerry Mullery, DNewport Township, attended the meeting and said school boards can amend their budgets if state legislators vote to restore the grants after the June 30 deadline. He also urged everyone to contact their elected officials on the matter. Representatives of state reps. Tarah Toohil, R-Hazleton, and Karen Boback, R-Harveys Lake, also attended the meeting.

HARRISBURG – No player matched all five winning numbers drawn in Thursday’s “Pennsylvania Cash 5” game so the jackpot will be worth $225,000. Lottery officials said 73 players matched four numbers and won $190 each and 2,321 players matched three numbers and won $10 each. Monday’s “Pennsylvania Match 6 Lotto” jackpot will be worth at least $550,000 because no player holds a ticket with one row that matches all six winning numbers drawn in Thursday’s game.

LOCAL Wegmans pulls plug on kiosks Chain tells LCB the wine-vending machines are unreliable and too many customers have complained. By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

Wegmans has informed the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board that the supermarket chain wants to end its affiliation with a troubled wine kiosk program. The grocer complained the machines have been unreliable and too many customer complaints have been logged. The Associated Press reported Thursday that Gov. Tom Corbett spokesman Kevin Harley called the problems Wegmans described as “just another reason why the state should not be in the liquor stores business, or wine and spirits. It should be left up to the private sector.”

The store chain’s request will mean the kiosks’ owner, Simple Brands of Conshohocken, will remove the machines from the 10 Wegmans in the state where they’re located over the next 30 days. Among the Wegmans that have had the kiosks since they went on line last year is the one in Wilkes-Barre Township. That store’s kiosk was installed last October. Stacy Kriedeman, a spokeswoman for the LCB, said a letter was received from a Wegmans corporate official a few days ago stating the company’s desire to have the machines removed in the next month. She said that until the kiosks are removed, they will remain operational. Kriedeman said the machines were installed as a way to give customers “selection, value and convenience.” Since the state’s first pilot kiosks went online about a year ago, consumers have used them to buy 82,505 bottles at a total cost

But in addition to the money that has been made, there have been a fair share of problems. More than 700 kiosk problems were reported to the LCB between June 24 and Dec. 20, 2010, the Harrisburg Patriot-News reported, citing a review of the agency’s call center log obtained through a Right to Know request.

Powell lawyers OK to quit

A federal judge has granted a request by attorneys for Robert Powell to withdraw from representing him in the “kids for cash” lawsuits pending in federal court. Mark Sheppard of the law firm Montgomery, McCracken, Walker & Rhoads of Philadelphia, filed a Powell motion in April seeking to allow him and other attorneys to withdraw from the case based on Powell’s inability to pay legal fees. Powell and his law firm, Powell Law Group, are defendants in several lawsuits filed by juveniles who allege they were improperly incarcerated in two juvenile detention facilities that Powell once co-owned.

Bank robber gets prison

A man who robbed the PNC Bank on West Market Street in Wilkes-Barre was sentenced Thursday to 20 months in federal prison. Gerald Hullihan, 55, no known address, was arrested on June 1, 2010, after authorities say he handed a note to a bank teller demanding money. The note threatened that he would shoot the teller if the teller did not comply. Hullihan was apprehended on Public Square shortly after the heist. A city police officer saw Hullihan speaking on a cell phone and approached him, according to an arrest affidavit. He then admitted he had robbed the bank, the affidavit said.

Principal Mary J. Kozick had been in her position for only a year and a half when she heard of the closing. Prior to the April announcement from Diocese of Scranton Bishop Joseph Bambera, Kozick said she had heard no indication that the school would close. The news is still so fresh that she is not aware of what she will be doing next year. She is also unaware of any plans regarding what will be done with the church and school facilities. Kozick estimates that roughly 95 percent of the students will continue pursuing a Catholic education at one of several other Catholic elementary and junior high schools in the area. The Rev.

A federal judge has dismissed political activist Carl Romanelli’s lawsuit that sought monetary damages from Democratic Party leaders who illegally used state employees to challenge Romanelli’s 2006 nominating petition for the U.S. Senate. In an opinion filed Wednesday, U.S. District Judge A. Richard Caputo said Romanelli had presented evidence that state workers were illegally paid on state time to mount the challenge that knocked Romanelli, a Green Party candidate, off the ballot. Their actions, even if illegal, did not deprive Romanelli of a federal constitutional Romanelli right, however, because the staffers utilized a legitimate state law to challenge and invalidate thousands of signatures on the petitions, Caputo said. Romanelli, 51, of Wilkes-Barre, filed suit in July 2010 against former state representatives William DeWeese and Michael Veon and numerous other members of the state Democratic Party, alleging they violated his constitutional right to free speech and due process. The suit was predicated on the “Bonusgate” scandal that led to charges against DeWeese, Veon and others who were accused of using state employees to do political work. That investigation revealed some of those employees had worked to oust Romanelli. In order to prevail in his federal suit, Romanelli had to show that he was de-

WILKES-BARRE – Luzerne County Commissioner Maryanne Petrilla said Thursday she thinks the county could obtain a $1 million federal grant to knock down the now-decrepit Hotel Sterling, but Controller Walter Griffith said he would do his best to block that move. Public records indicate CityVest, the nonprofit corporation that has been trying to renovate

the aging landmark, does not have the estimated $1 million needed to level the North River Street structure. “I think that CityVest has been given enough money to make sure the building is preserved,” Griffith said. “I don’t think that they should be entitled to any more money to rip the building down.” According to an independent auditor’s report submitted to the county commissioners on Wednesday, CityVest had less than $2,000 in its account at the end of 2010, less than it needs to demolish the Sterling.

State Rep. Tarah Toohil, R-Butler Township, addressed nearly 100 constituents at the Greater Hazleton Chamber of Commerce Red Carpet Breakfast on Thursday. Toohil discussed a number of issues including crime and the impact the MinSec facility in Hazleton is having on public safety and downtown businesses. Toohil exToohil plained her goal to require licensing and increased inspections for community correctional facilities. She is a co-sponsor of House Bill 111, which mandates public notice and a hearing when these types of private prisons come to a community. Toohil also discussed several bills she has introduced including House Bill 1436 and House Bill 1536, which she authored in response to the Luzerne County “kids for cash” scandal. House Bill 1436 creates a legal mechanism for citizens who are victims of an abuse of power and holds public officials who abuse their power accountable. House Bill 1536 requires statistical data on juvenile justice to be compiled and posted on the state website. Both bills have passed the House Judiciary Committee. HANOVER TWP.

Fugitive caught, cops say

Township police said they captured a fugitive wanted by the New York State Parole Department during a traffic stop early Thursday morning. Theodore A. Simpson, 21, of Bronx, New York City, was arraigned in WilkesBarre Central Court on fugitive from justice charges. He was jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility Simpson for lack of $10,000 bail. Police said Simpson is a known member of the Bloods street gang. He was wanted by New York parole on a sentence violation for drug offenses. Simpson was a passenger in a vehicle that was stopped for a faulty headlight on Division Street at about 3:10 a.m. The vehicle stopped in a private driveway in an alley near Simpson Street, WilkesBarre, according to the complaint. Police said in the complaint that Simpson used another name to identify himself. He was transported to the Kingston Police Department, where an electronic scan of his fingerprints revealed his true name and an arrest warrant in New York. An extradition hearing is scheduled in Luzerne County Court on Monday.

Plate replaces pyramid

here’s a new U.S. symbol for healthful eating: The Agriculture DepartT ment unveiled “My Plate” on Thursday,

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — The Rev. Bob Marrone was pained to see the steeple of his 137-year-old church shattered and strewn on the grass in the central Massachusetts town of Monson, yet he knows he’s more fortunate than some of his neighbors who lost their homes after tornadoes tore through the state, killing at least three people and injuring about 200. “I can see the plywood of roofs, and see houses where most of the house is gone,” said Marrone, pastor of The First Church of Monson. “The road that runs up in front of my house. ... There’s so many trees down, it’s completely im-

passable.” Residents of 18 communities in central and western Massachusetts woke to widespread damage Thursday, a day after at least two late-afternoon tornadoes shocked emergency officials with their suddenness and violence and caused the state’s first tornado-related deaths in 16 years. Sens. John Kerry and Scott Brown joined Gov. Deval Patrick on a helicopter tour of the damaged areas, including Springfield, the state’s third-largest city. Kerry said it looked like a “blast zone” and was confident that federal disaster aid would be made available, particularly because of damage to businesses. Patrick said it was unbelievable that so much destruction was caused in such a short period of time. “You have to see it to believe it,” he said after a tour of Monson, a town of fewer than 10,000 residents near the Connecticut border. “Houses have been

lifted up off their foundations and in some cases totally destroyed or moved several feet.” Authorities were still calculating how many tornadoes hit the area. Two people were killed in West Springfield and another in Brimfield, authorities said. A Springfield death previously blamed on storms may have

been an unrelated heart attack, Patrick said Thursday. Public health officials said about 200 people sought medical treatment for storm-related injuries. The death in West Springfield was a woman who used her body to shield her 15-year-old daughter in a bathtub in their apartment, Patrick said. The daughter survived.

Dissolving bodies up for debate

abandoning the food pyramid that had guided many Americans but merely confused others. The new guide is divided into four slightly different-sized quadrants, with fruits and vegetables taking up half the space and grains and protein making up the other half. The vegetables and grains portions are the largest of the four. Next to the plate is a blue circle for dairy. Some critics, including congressional Republicans, have accused the Obama administration of overreaching by telling schools what children can eat on campus. But the plate is supposed to be a suggestion, not a direction, said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.

SANAA, YEMEN

Forces threaten the capital

Thousands of armed tribesmen clashed with government troops in the mountains Thursday, preparing to march into Yemen’s capital to reinforce their brethren in nearly two weeks of fighting that has pushed the impoverished country to the brink of civil war. Artillery and gunbattles in Sanaa forced the closure of Yemen’s main international airport, on the capital’s outskirts. To the south, tribesmen attacked government forces in a second city, Taiz, highlighting how the Sanaa fighting threatens to flare around the highly fragmented nation, home to an active al-Qaida branch.

GOP crafting Libya measure

House Republican leadership crafted legislation on Thursday allowing the U.S. military to continue participating in the NATO-led operation against Libya as the Pentagon warned that any statement of congressional opposition would send “an unhelpful message of disunity and uncertainty” to U.S. troops, allies and Moammar Gadhafi’s regime. Facing a balance-of-power showdown and frustration among rank-and-file lawmakers, the leadership pursued an alternative to anti-war Rep. Dennis Kucinich’s proposal to end U.S. involvement in the conflict, according to Republican and Democratic congressional officials. A vote on the issue was postponed on Wednesday, and officials in both parties said it was because Kucinich’s legislation was gaining ground. The leadership planned to present the alternative at a Thursday meeting of House Republicans. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, told reporters he expected the issue to be resolved by today. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to freely discuss behind-thescenes negotiations. ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN

Dozens killed in attacks

Islamist militants who flowed out of Afghanistan fought a second day of fierce battles with Pakistani security forces Thursday in one of the deadliest clashes on the Pakistan side of the frontier in months. Authorities said 63 people were dead. Signaling a deepening of the rift with the United States and voicing Islamabad’s anger over the attacks, the government issued a statement late Thursday voicing Pakistan’s “strong concern” about the attack. Pakistan’s military had initially said the assault was the work of about 200 militants, but the government statement put the number at between 300 and 400. It said the fighters “attacked villages and burned schools.”

E. coli outbreak raises concerns

U.S. officials worry European bug contaminating cucumbers, lettuce and tomatoes could hit here. By LAURAN NEERGAARD AP Medical Writer

WASHINGTON — The nasty form of E. coli hitting Europe points out gaps in the U.S. food safety system that raise concern that similar outbreaks might happen here. It’s impossible to test for every illnesscausing form of E. coli, even the kinds we already know about. Today, the food industry and health authorities focus mostly on a single strain of the bacteria that until now was considered the most dangerous. But some different strains collectively known as “the other E. colis” were sickening more and more people well before this extra-deadly European bug burst on the scene. “It’s a wake-up call around the world,”

said Dr. Robert Tauxe of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which has long been concerned about the lesser known strains. Authorities don’t yet know the source of the European infection, but cucumbers, tomatoes and leafy lettuce grown there are suspected. There’s no reason to stop eating fresh vegetables in the United States, but officials are monitoring the situation carefully. The Food and Drug Administration has stepped up testing of those foods imported from affected countries as a precaution, although very little is imported. And Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said Thursday there’s no immediate threat from what’s happening in Europe. “We have to constantly look for ways to improve food safety, and that requires us to make sure that we’re testing for the right things,” he said. USDA, under pressure from consumer groups, already was working on a measure to address some of the other E. colis

in beef, a policy being reviewed by the Obama administration. Researchers created tests to screen for the six strains considered most prevalent, before the toll in Europe revealed a seventh. When it comes to fresh produce, a sweeping new law requires the FDA to set standards to guard against contamination of all sorts. The rules are expected to address such things as properly processed compost, worker hygiene, and keeping animals and their runoff from fields or irrigation water. It’s not clear how quickly those rules will emerge; Republican-led efforts to cut FDA’s budget would strain the work. “There are no regulations in place today that would prevent this kind of outbreak from occurring” in the U.S., said food-safety expert Caroline Smith DeWaal of the Center for Science in the Public Interest. But specialists say the broad focus promised by the food-safety law is critical to get ahead of the next emerging germ.

Mitt Romney announces bid for president By PHILIP ELLIOTT and HOLLY RAMER Associated Press

STRATHAM, N.H. — Just as Mitt Romney declared Thursday that he’s in, it’s suddenly looking like he’ll have more company in his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination. While Romney made his candidacy official in New Hampshire, political heavyweights Sarah Palin and Rudy Giuliani caused a stir of their own with visits to the first-in-the-nation primary state. And rumblings from Texas Gov. Rick Perry, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Rep.

Michele Bachmann of Minnesota further undercut Romney’s standing as the closest thing the GOP has to a frontrunner. “I’m Mitt Romney and I believe in AmeriRomney ca. And I’m running for president of the United States,” Romney said to cheers on a sunny farm here in Southern New Hampshire. The former business executive previewed a campaign message focused on the economic woes that top voters’ con-

cerns: rising gas prices, stubbornly high unemployment and persistent foreclosures. “It breaks my heart to see what is happening to this great country,” Romney said. “No, Mr. President, you had your chance.” It’s a pitch tailored to the conservatives who hold great sway in picking the GOP’s presidential nominee in Iowa and South Carolina — and the independents who are the largest political bloc in New Hampshire. And it is as much a statement on his viability as it is an indictment of Obama’s leadership.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Hal Shimp didn’t want a traditional send-off after death. He didn’t want a big, somber service, and he certainly didn’t want to be buried. When the 91-year-old World War II veteran died in February after a cancer battle, his body tissue was dissolved using heat and lye, turning it into a liquid that could be poured down a drain and a dry bone residue given to relatives, who plan to scatter it when they plant a tree in his honor.

Kansas, MaryOhio is the only state land and Colwhere the orado. method, called alkaline hydrolysis, has been used in the funeral industry, but others are increasingly allowing for it, spurred by a push from interested crematories and equipment manufacturers or by a desire to have regulations ready if the process comes to their regions. Proponents say it has lower operating costs and is greener than traditional cremation. But skeptics question the social implications of sending someone’s remains down the drain, and whether it’s safe for the environment and public health. Changes taking effect this year will allow alkaline hydrolysis in Kansas, Maryland and Colorado, where the governor signed a bill into law April 6. It was already legal in Florida, Maine, Minnesota and Oregon. New York and California also are considering allowing it.

prived of a constitutional federal right. In his ruling, Caputo said that ballot access has been recognized as an important aspect of voting rights, but it is not an unfretted access. States have the right to set requirements candidates must meet. Signatures negated In Romanelli’s case, he was required to collect 67,070 signatures to get on the ballot. He obtained 94,544 signatures, but roughly 69,000 were negated by the challenge filed by Democratic Party leaders, resulting in his removal. The problem for Romanelli is that the challenge filed by the Democrats was valid as there were problems with his petitions. The fact that the party illegally utilized workers to collect the information used to negate the signatures does not matter for purposes of the civil case. “When the validity of the signatures is challenged in accordance with state procedure, and the signatures are found to be in some way insufficient, it does not violate any constitution right to deny the potential candidate access to the ballot,” Caputo said. Because he could not show he suffered a constitutional deprivation, the suit must be dismissed, Caputo said. “We are pleased that the court agreed with our position that Mr. Romanelli was not deprived of any federal right, therefore he had no legitimate legal claim,” Brett

WORDS SPELLED BY ROUND

ROY Roy told an interviewer for ESPN, which broadcast the national finals. “I couldn’t believe it. I just wanted to make sure I spelled it right.” Among Roy’s winnings as champion: $30,000 cash from Scripps and a $25,000 U.S. savings bond from Merriam-Webster, as well as a complete reference library. Other awards for the champion also include a $5,000 scholarship from the Sigma Phi Epsilon Educational Foundation. Roy’s championship came after her third year in the Bee, and having performed well the first two times, making the semi-finals both times. This time around, whether it was “lakatoi,” a dugout canoe, or “rapakivi,” a coarse red granite, or even “zwischenspiel,” a musical interlude, no words seemed too challenging for Roy late Thursday night as she stayed in contention.

By shortly after 11 p.m. it was down to Roy and Laura Newcombe, 12, of Toronto Canada. But then Newcombe missed the word “sorites” and Roy spelled another word in that round, “periscii.” She then was given one last word to spell in what technically was a round of one speller. In the first round of the finals, after asking for the definition and origin of the word, and for it to be used in a sentence, Roy looked out at the ESPN cameras and

large audience and successfully spelled “psephomancy,” which means divination by pebbles. In the final’s second round, Roy spelled “pyopoiesis,” meaning the formation of pus. In the third round, it was a word of German origin, “volkerwanderung,” relating to the migration of nations, that Roy handled with aplomb. That left her one of just six finalists left, and a few minutes later another speller went down.

“There was a lot of anger and disappointment, but she worked hard to remind everyone how important it was to make sure the children had a positive experience and that we were sending them off with positive feelings,” Maloney said. The St. Mary’s Assumption Catholic School was accredited by the Middle States Commission on Elementary Schools and it offered classes from pre-kin-

dergarten through eighth grade, for ages 3 through 14. It was founded by the Sisters of Christian Charity in 1868. The first classes were taught in the church until a school was built on the corner of Wood and Sand streets in 1890. In 1924, a new school was built. That building will remain in use until the doors close for the final time on June 15.

way to offer an additional service to our customers … unfortunately the kiosks have not realized their potential and in some ways have been a detriment to our stores.” The letter also states “the most weighty factor in our decision, however, is the significant volume of complaints … on an ongoing basis.” Efforts to reach a Wegmans corporate spokeswoman at the grocer’s Rochester, N.Y., office were unsuccessful, and an operator at the Wilkes-Barre Town-

ship store said no managers were available to comment Thursday evening. The loss of the 10 Wegmans kiosks will leave 22 other wine vending machines in operation in the state, with another 24 potential locations at Walmart stores on the horizon. Kriedeman said the Walmarts along Route 315 in Pittston Township, Main Avenue in Taylor and Airport Road in Hazle Township are among the two dozen locations approved by the board.

loans after developing the property with a private-sector partner. “I think it’s a real crime that the taxpayers of this county have been taken for a ride to the tune of $6 million,” Griffith said. Petrilla said it is Griffith’s right to write to the federal government, but trying to recoup money already spent by the nonprofit CityVest will be fruitless. “CityVest does not have the financial ability to restore the Sterling, so to get repayment from CityVest; they have no money. They have no way to make mon-

ey.” CityVest took ownership of the Hotel Sterling property in 2002, before Petrilla took office as commissioner. “I’m not about to publicly say that it was a good investment; I’m not about to publicly say that it was money well spent,” she said, “but it’s water under the bridge and we have to move forward with what’s most prudent at this point. And we have the safety of our citizens to consider.”

Marcy, communications director for the Pennsylvania House Democratic Caucus, said in an email. Lawrence Otter, Romanelli’s attorney, said Thursday he is disappointed by Caputo’s ruling decision, but understands the judge was obligated to adhere to the strict interpretation of federal law. “This gist of our complaint is that he had a right to run for office. Certainly they had a right to challenge his petition, but they didn’t have a right to do that with taxpayer money,” Otter said. “I’m disheartened this did not rise to the level of a constitutional violation.” Latest adverse ruling The decision is the latest adverse court ruling Romanelli has suffered in the battle over Senate run. Several state courts upheld his removal from the ballot. He was also ordered to pay more than $80,000 in legal fees Democratic Party representatives spent challenging his nominating petitions. Romanelli said Thursday he has no regrets, “despite the beating I’ve taken over the past five years.” “The biggest disappointment for me is no where in the public record do we have a court saying this is patently wrong, you cannot do this to your citizens,” Romanelli said. Romanelli vowed the adverse rulings will not deter him from continuing to speak out and fight for the rights of third party candidates. “It will not silence me. I will continue to talk about corruption and will continue to talk about the issues,” he said.

Correctly spelling her fourth word of a long and tense semi-finals round earlier Thursday, “thalassocracy,” meaning maritime supremacy, launched Roy into the prime-time, nationally televised finals Thursday night, along with 12 other elite spellers. By the time Roy spelled her second word correctly, it was nearly 10 p.m. and just nine spellers remained at the beginning of the final’s third round. “I’m really excited,” Roy said just after the semi-finals round ended. “I’m just going to do my best.” To get to the finals, Roy navigated a 25-word written test on Tuesday, two rounds of on stage words during Wednesday’s preliminaries and four rounds of words during the semi-finals earlier today to reach the finals. Just forty-one of the 275 Bee spellers made it to the semi-finals, and it took more than a four-hour-long semi-final round to winnow that group down to the 13 finalists. Roy said that she was confident in all the words she spelled during the semi-finals round earlier on Thursday. Everyone left in the competition immersed themselves in preparation, she said. “We all worked really hard for this,” Roy said. “We are not here by chance.” For her first word of the semifinals, Roy, an eighth-grader at Abington Heights Middle School, asked about the definition, origin and pronunciation of the word “hesthogenous,” which means having a covering of down

when hatched, according to the Bee’s official Webster’s Third New International Dictionary, Unabridged. After spelling the word out on her hand, Roy, whose other interests include hiking and ice skating, coolly spelled it for the judges, the audience in the crowded ballroom at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center here near Washington, and the ESPN TV audience. This was Roy’s third and final Bee because ninth-graders are not eligible. Experience clearly counts at the national contest. Including Roy, four of the 13 finalists were back for the third time, and eight others were making their second appearance. After winning the 2011 Times Leader/Scripps Northeast Penn-

sylvania Regional Spelling Bee earlier this year, Roy made her third trip to the national contest, courtesy of The Times Leader newspaper. Her first two trips also resulted in semi-finals appearances, but this was first time in the finals. During the finals, parents and other family members were allowed to sit on the stage, across from where their spellers sat waiting their turns. In addition to the thrill and prestige of making the championship round, the spellers in the finals had the chance to win significant prizes. Just making the finals was worth at least a $1,500 cash prize. Finishing sixth is worth $2,000, fifth $2,500, fourth $3,000, third $7,500 and second $12,500.

W-B man cleared of some charges in stabbing By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A man charged by city police for his alleged role in a fight that left six people seriously injured with stab and slash wounds last month was cleared of the most serious offenses on Thursday. Jeffrey Leonard, 27, of Madison Street, Wilkes-Barre, pleaded guilty to a single count of disorderly conduct during his preliminary hearing in WilkesBarre Central Court. Senior District Judge Andrew Barilla dismissed 12 counts of simple assault, eight counts of aggravated assault, two counts of criminal conspiracy to commit aggravated assault and a single count of criminal conspiracy to commit reckless endangerment against Leonard. Leonard was fined $100. Police alleged Leonard and Jesse Geasey, 31, of Mark Drive,

Hanover Township, were involved in a fight that started as an argument about buying beer at a gathering outside an apartment at Coal and North Meade streets on May 6. Six people suffered stab and slash wounds during the fight, police said. An arrest warrant was issued for Leonard and Geasey on May 11. Leonard surrendered with his attorney, Peter Moses, on May 12. Geasey was captured after police raided an apartment at 346 Hazle Ave. on May 25. “All the aggravated assault and simple assault charges were dismissed. They weren’t withdrawn, which is significantly different,” Moses said about Leonard’s case. At the time Leonard turned himself in, Moses pledged a strong defense that would vindicate his client. “From the moment Mr. Leo-

nard surrendered himself, we have maintained his innocence and always maintained that he was not responsible for any of the injuries or any of the assaults that occurred on Coal Street,” Moses said. Leonard was charged after witnesses and those who suffered injuries told police that he and Geasey were in possession of “knives, razors and other sharp instruments during the altercation,” the criminal complaints say. Police Detective Ron Foy said during the hearing that police recently received information that Leonard was not responsible for causing the injuries to the six people. Geasey is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on June 8 in Central Court. He remains jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $50,000 bail.

U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Hazleton, said Thursday there is no ban on recording his public forums. On May 19, Barletta said he met privately with residents in Salem Township and the meeting was intended to be private to discuss the residents’ concerns, including those about new flood maps issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. A few days before the meeting, the activist group MoveOn.org learned about the private meeting, publicized it on its Web site and encouraged its members to attend, a Barletta press release stated. Previously, according to the Barletta release, MoveOn.org had mobilized its members to disrupt the congressman’s public “Home to House” forums. Activists became so disruptive that police escorted them from the forum, the release said. “Because this was a private meeting, those without media credentials were not allowed to record the session,” the release states. “Members of the media were allowed to attend and record the session because one media outlet had previously reported that the session would take place.” The meeting in Salem Township was not a public forum, Barletta said, and was not advertised as such by his office. His release said no press releases were issued, no constituent phone calls were made and no social networking was used to promote it. All of those methods are used to promote Barletta’s public forums. “People have been following me with cameras for years, so I have no problem with people recording my Home to House public forums. I have never banned cameras from my public meetings,” Barletta said. “I encourage people to attend my public forums and learn about what’s going on in Washington, and to offer their comments and input that I can take back to Congress with me.”

OUR OPINION: DONATE, RECYCLE

TIMES LEADER FILE PHOTO/S.JOHN WILKIN

Unload your unwanted TVs and other gadgets during Luzerne County’s annual electronics recycling drop-off program.

Profit community by cleaning house

ECOVERING “pack rats” can rid their Luzerne County households of unwanted items in the weeks ahead, while also doing good for the community. Several used-item donation opportunities – and the county’s annual electronics recycling drop-off program – allow you this month to help the environment, possibly help your lessfortunate neighbors and finally free your closets and storage space of all that surplus stuff. A sample of what’s happening in June: ❏ Electronics recycling. County residents can unload their outdated or out-of-order televisions, computers, camcorders, microwaves, phones and dozens of other electronic devices for free. Haul the gadgets to the drop-off site during the appointed hours and simply step aside. Workers will remove the items from your vehicle, sort them and plunk them into the proper pile for later recycling. For added convenience, dropoffs are scheduled at two sites: one in the Hazleton area and one near Wilkes-Barre. The first collection is set for 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. this Saturday at the Butler Township Fire Hall, 14 W. Butler Drive, Drums. The second collection, also from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., will be held June 11 at the Hanover Area Junior/Senior High School, 1600 Sans Souci Parkway, Hanover Township.

For more information, call the Luzerne County Solid Waste Management Department’s recycling hot line at 1800-821-7654 or visit the department’s pages on the county website, www.luzernecounty.org. ❏ Call for clothing. The Volunteers of America thrift store in Wilkes-Barre recently issued a request for contributions of used clothing, which is in short supply on its racks. Gently used apparel can be taken to the store, at 400 S. Main St. Pickup also is available. For details, call 829-5100. Of course, other second-hand stores near your neighborhood, many of them run by charitable groups, would appreciate contributions, too. ❏ Books, movies, more. The Osterhout Free Library’s weeklong book sale in downtown Wilkes-Barre starts June 18. For information about the Osterhout and other nearby public libraries that appreciate donations of money and material goods, visit www.luzernelibraries.org. The Friends of the Osterhout Free Library volunteer group, which conducts the yearly tent sale on South Franklin Street, relies on the public for merchandise such as new and used books, CDs and DVDs. They’ll even take a videotape – which, if you can still find one in your closet, suggests you really are a pack rat. Vinyl LPs, anyone?

OTHER OPINION: COLLEGE PAYS

Higher education worth investment

S COLLEGE COSTS and debt rise, experts are questioning the value of higher education. But a new survey shows that not only do university degrees have value, but some pay off more handsomely than others. Four years at an elite institution of higher learning can cost more than $200,000. Even a degree from a modest public university can run more than $35,000, not counting room and board. A report from Georgetown University concludes that money invested in a college education is generally well spent. But it also puts a num-

ber on another truism: Majoring in math, science, engineering and computers pays much better after graduation than getting a degree in education, counseling, psychology, art or English. A person with a degree in petroleum engineering, for example, can expect to earn about $120,000 a year. In contrast, the median annual salary for counseling or psychology majors is $29,000. The new study suggests that what is valuable and what is valued in today’s economy are not always the same things. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

t’s becoming more evident every day that the election of 2010 had virtually no effect on how Washington, D.C., does business. Republican Congressman Paul Ryan, chairman of the House Budget Committee, has released a budget proposal that is being criticized by the left for going too far. The problem, however, is that it doesn’t go far enough. Under President Obama’s economic plan, the national debt is projected to be $26 trillion in the year 2021; yet the plan will never provide for a balanced budget. Under Ryan’s plan, the debt would be $23 trillion in 2021. According to the Congressional Budget Office, it would not achieve a balanced budget until the year 2063. Considering the federal government can’t pass a budget for a single year, how can anyone have faith in a proposal that projects out over 50 years? The time for tinkering around the edges is over. If we don’t soon get our financial house in order, meaning a 40 percent across-the-board cut in federal spending, the currency crisis that will follow will be disastrous. This is because the Federal Reserve is supporting much of the deficit spending by creating money out of thin air, which devalues the money already in circulation. If you think prices are high now, wait until the U.S. dollar loses its status as the world’s reserve currency. I can only hope that we haven’t reached the point of no return – that somehow, a majority of the American people will wake up and recognize the gravity of our situation. Sadly, anything less and our journey toward the edge of the cliff continues full steam ahead. Ben Roper Kingston

Writer questions Casey’s ‘ethic of life’ declaration

recently published letter by Larry Smar, chief of staff for Sen. Robert Casey Jr., defended the senator as being “dedicated to a consistent ethic of life.” It seems to me that the senator is, rather, a member of the “Catholics-who-don’tlike-abortion … but … crowd.” In 2009, the senator voted against the Martinez Amendment that would have reinstated the Mexico City Policy, a policy struck down by President Obama. The amendment was defeated by a vote of 60-37 and would have prevented U.S. taxpayer funding for international abortionpromoting organizations.

The senator also joined those in undermining the Catholic bishops on health care reform. On April 14, he was among the Democratic senators on two counts of anti-life voting: he voted against blocking funding for implementation of the president’s 2010 health care law (this contains multiple provisions to impose rationing of life-saving medical care, as well as federal subsidies for abortion; and voted against H. Con. Res. 36, a bill that would have cut off federal funds for fiscal year 2011 to Planned Parenthood, the nation’s major provider of abortions. I see a voting consistency here, but one that is not for “ethic of life.”

Illegal immigration creates job loss, economic burden Writer says indiscretions f you think this country is in bad shape, are to blame for disasters wait a few more years. President Obama

apparently doesn’t care who loses their jobs. If he did, he would stop the immigration invasion from South America. Illegal immigrants come here and take over the country. The states are going broke paying for their medical bills. Then you have two kids from Shenandoah sentenced to nine years in jail for a hate crime. The illegal immigrant chose to challenge these youths. If he didn’t, he would still be here. These two kids never should have been tried the second time. This is double jeopardy. How come the government will enforce a so-called hate crime but not an illegal immigration law?

here are a lot of people who apparently believe that what we do wrong in our lives has no bearing on natural laws. When I was a kid almost a century ago, storms were always lurking, waiting. You hardly ever saw a picture of a tornado, to say nothing of encountering one. Hurricanes existed but were rare. Earthquakes always have been around, but they were not noticed much back then. Floods always have been around but again tolerated. Large fires also were rare. Now, do you really believe that the significant rise in all these catastrophic natural disasters is caused by humans impugning the creator’s laws? Man does not want to accept that explanation as viable. Man is too much into self to adhere to a simple biblical truth. And that truth is – break the rules, pay the price. Points to ponder: High divorce rates, with marriage becoming obsolete. Gay marriages are rampant. Drugs destroy totally. You can believe it or not, but all of the violence that nature has dumped on us in the last few decades is caused by our indiscretions. Vincent Calaman Powell

but he knows how difficult it is for people like Klein and Moore to find nightly shelter. “They will both be sadly missed,” Boyer said. “This is why we need more programs like REACH.” The fire fatalities struck a nerve with Wolownik, who has worked with the homeless for 10 years. She is particularly concerned about the welfare of her clients – currently 40 or more per day – because REACH will cease its services to the homeless as of July 1 because of state budget cuts. Wolownik said both men were gentlemen who had a serious problem – excessive drinking. “James never asked for anything,” Wolownik said. “And Bobby always addressed everyone as Mr. or Miss.” “Bobby was a worker,” former REACH client and current employee Jim Sobieski said. “He was a machinist. His problem was alcohol consumed his life.” He said Klein came here from Philadelphia and had three children. Another client, Bryan Hogan, a New York Giants fan, said he used to tease Klein about his beloved Philadelphia Eagles. It was always friendly, Hogan said. Klein met his grandson in Philly two years ago and Hogan said that meant a lot to him. When the men heard Klein and Moore died in the fire, they could relate. Hogan survived an arson fire in an abandoned building he was sleeping in a few years ago. “We all know the dangers of living in abandos,” Hogan said, referring to vacant buildings. “You always think it could have been you. I’d like to know what the cause of that fire was.” Hogan, Boyer and Sobieski offered some insight into the plight of the homeless. “Homeless guys always travel in pairs or groups of threes for safety purposes,” Hogan said. Wolownik said homeless men enter vacant buildings at night and leave before the

tion occurs. Currently, drillers may be presumed to be liable for environmental contamination that occurs within 1,000 feet of a well within six months of drilling or altering the well. Krancer recommended the liability window and notification distances be increased to 2,500 feet and 12 months and that “stimulating the well,” or hydraulic fracturing, be added to the procedures initiating the liability period. The secretary also recommend-

missing person’s report with the Kingston Police Department at 3:15 p.m. Saturday, Kingston Police Chief Keith Keiper said. The body was found under a ladder that was placed against a utility pole next to the building, Lisman said. “It appears he went to a utility pole and cut a neutral line that is made of aluminum,” Jacob said.

Klein

found Tuesday morning in the rubble of what remained of the house that was demolished for safety reasons after the fire was extinguished. Luzerne County Chief Deputy Coroner Bill Lisman said the two men died from carbon monoxide intoxication. Klein was identified using evidence recovered during

sun rises to avoid being detected. She said Moore arrived at REACH three years ago from West Virginia. He lost his house and ended up in the Luzerne County Correctional Facility where he

met Boyer. “He always talked about work,” Boyer said of Moore. “He would do whatever he could find; he always wanted to work.” Wolownik said Moore’s ex-girlfriend stopped by REACH on Wednesday looking for him. The two had a child together, she said. Klein came to Wilkes-Barre from Philadelphia after his common-law wife got tired of his excessive drinking, Wolownik said. Klein and Moore make five REACH clients who died in May, Wolownik said. Hogan, Sobieski and Boyer think more will die after REACH closes because of the loss of needed services – services that helped them find work and housing. “When you are homeless, your life expectancy dramatically decreases,” Hogan said. “A friend of mine died recently, and it was just too much for me,” Boyer said. “I went on a 10-day bender.” Boyer said he was drinking a half gallon of vodka and a 30-pack of beer every day to get through until he finally checked himself into a rehab program. At Thursday’s prayer service, Klein and Moore were remembered for who they were. Sobieski said Klein was a good cook. “He could make something out of almost nothing,” he said. The men said Moore was staying with someone until Sunday morning when he was kicked out because he wasn’t contributing to the household expenses. So he and Klein found refuge at 73 Sullivan St. “As soon as we heard about the fire, we knew they could have been in there,” Hogan said. “The homeless grapevine can be faster than the Internet.”

Melnick said Strong does not have any mental illness, and he does not suffer from brain damage as defense witnesses testified. Prosecutors, Melnick said, proved all three of their aggravating circumstances needed to sentence Strong to the death penalty. They include: Strock was a witness to a crime and was killed to prevent any testimony against Strong; that Strong committed the murder during a felony crime; and that Strong has a history of felony offenses. Melnick said there is clear evidence Strong killed Strock to prevent him from testifying because his onetime co-defendant, James Alexander, said that when he asked Strong why he killed Strock, Strong replied: “I’m tired of leaving behind witnesses.” The second aggravating circumstance, Melnick said, can be explained by Strong committing robbery, kidnapping and stealing Strock’s car – all of which he was found guilty of; and finally, he committed three similar crimes – that did not result in death – once in 1969 and twice in 1975. Strong’s attorney, Shelley Centini, said her client’s childhood explains his behavior. Strong was born lacking judgment, thanks to a malformation on his brain stem, Centini said in her closing argument, which affects his behavior, leading to lack of impulse control and violent behavior. Coupled with an abusive and dysfunctional family and having moved 14 times when Strong was a child, that was a formula for criminal behavior, she said. “(They are) indicators that a person will become a violent adult,”

Centini said. “Studies show that.” There was clear evidence, Centini said, that Strong suffers from mental illnesses and brain damage, and that as a prisoner at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility, her client has had an exemplary record, mentored other inmates and holds down a job no other inmate has been given the

ronmental laws. Krancer said in his letter that the suggested amendments “embody Gov. Corbett’s concepts to improve (the Oil and Gas Act), as well as some improvements needed that have come to our attention as we regulate the natural gas industry.” Tom Jiunta, founder and president of Luzerne County’s Gas Drilling Awareness Coalition, said the amendments are a step in the right direction, though they fall short in some areas. Specifically, he thinks well setbacks from a public water supply and presumptive liability distances should be increased to 5,000 feet, and the suggested bonding

The building has been vacant since December 2004 when Dana Perfumes closed its manufacturing plant after 40 years of operations in Wright Township.

requirements are still lower than the cost of capping a well, encouraging operators to abandon wells uncapped. “The bottom line for DEP should be protecting the public, and they’re doing that with some of these,” Jiunta said. He applauded other provisions, in particular cradle-to-grave manifesting requirements and an amendment granting DEP authority to condition a well permit based on its assessment of the impact to public resources. “There are certain environmental and public resource impacts that stand out,” he said. “If a well operator can’t specify that they can protect (one of them), DEP

should be able to revoke the permit.” In response to the letter, Marcellus Shale Coalition spokesman Travis Windle referred to coalition President Kathryn Klaber’s presentation to the governor’s advisory commission, in which Klaber said the coalition can support amendments to Oil and Gas Act providing reasonable updates to bonding, setbacks from occupied buildings, presumption of liability for water impacts and notification of permit applications. The coalition is a group of companies drilling for in the Marcellus Shale or performing services for drillers. It promotes development of the shale.

NBA FINALS

Mavericks tie series with Game 2 thriller By STEVEN WINE AP Sports Writer

MIAMI — From up by 15 points with 7 minutes left, to losing home-court advantage in the NBA finals. In a season of challenges for the Miami Heat, here comes the biggest task — recovering after blowing a chance to take a twogame lead over the Dallas Mavericks. Ahead 88-73 after Dwyane Wade made a 3-pointer with 7:14 left, Miami had the home fans roaring. Dirk Nowitzki’s game-

winning layup with 3.6 seconds remaining left them silenced, and now all Dallas needs to do to win the NBA title is win three

games on its home court, starting with Game 3 on Sunday night. Final score: Mavs 95, Heat 93, and the Heat left in sheer disbelief. After that 3-pointer by Wade, Dallas closed the game on a 22-5 run. Struggling to win close games was one of Miami’s biggest challenges all season. The Heat went 5-14 in games decided by five points or less in the regular season, but in the playoffs, fourthquarter closeouts had become one of Miami’s calling cards.

The Heat had outscored teams in the fourth quarter of their last five playoff games. Not on Thursday: Dallas outscored Miami 24-18 in the last 12 minutes, which was bad enough. How the Mavericks did it made it seem even worse for the Heat, who missed 10 of their last 11 shots. That’s right, the Heat shot 53 percent in the first 41 minutes, and 9 percent the rest of the way. Mario Chalmers’ 3-pointer with 25 seconds left tied the game, but Nowitzki drove down the

lane for the winner on Dallas’ final possession. Wade tried a desperation 3pointer at the end, bouncing away as he tumbled to the court, one of his rare missteps in a night where he finished with 36 points. It’s the 12th time since the NBA went to the 2-3-2 finals format that teams split the opening two games. Teams holding home-court advantage recovered to win eight of the previous 11 series, including last year when the Lakers topped the Celtics in seven games.

Patience pays off

Presley homers twice and drives in six runs as Indy feasts on SWB pitching. By PETE CAVA For the Times Leader

INDIANAPOLIS – The Indianapolis Indians scored three runs in the second, five in the fourth and four more in the eighth Thursday night in a 13-2 romp over visiting Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre. Left fielder Alex Presley, who leads the International League with 74 hits, provided most of the Indians’ firepower. Presley went 3-for-5 with a pair of home runs and INDIANS six runs batted in. The Yankees YANKEES concluded their swing through the west with five wins in eight tries. Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre reached Indianapolis starter Justin Wilson for a pair of runs in the first inning. Kevin Russo opened the contest with a short fly to right, and Miles Durham attemped a shoestring catch. But the ball dropped in, skipping past Durham for a three-base hit. Ramiro Pena followed with a bunt that Wilson fielded and fired home. But catcher Eric Fryer muffed the throw as Russo sped home safely. Pena went to second on a wild pitch and scored two outs later on Brandon Laird’s line single. Andrew Brackman started for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and lasted 39 pitches, 17 of them strikes. The right-hander walked the first batter he faced and threw a wild pitch, but managed to get out of the inning unscathed. “I don’t know, Just no control,” said Brackman (2-4), a firstround draft pick in 2007 who underwent Tommy John surgery shortly after signing with the New York Yankees. “It started in the bullpen and went on into the game.” In the second, the Indians filled the bases on a pair of walks and a hit batsman. With Brackman having trouble finding the plate, Yankee skipper Dave Miley went to his bullpen. Ryan Pope replaced Brackman, and Durham drilled the right-hander’s first pitch for a bases-clearing double. The Yankees loaded the sacks in the third on a pair of hits sandwiched around a walk, but the threat ended when Wilson caught Dan Brewer looking at a

Josh Everett jumps on the pile of Lake Lehman boys celebrating a win over Holy Redeemer during Distrcit 2 class 2A championship play Thursday.

Lehman’s 2A title was a long time coming By DEREK LEVARSE dlevarse@timesleader.com

MOOSIC -- The final out, and the celebration that followed, was nearly a decade in the making. This was just the fourth season for Lake-Lehman varsity baseball under Mark LeValley. But most of the players had been with the coach at several different levels and leagues. Some for as many as nine years. It made Thursday’s district title that much more memorable.

“What can I say about these LEHMAN kids? I love ’em so much,” LeValley said after the Black HOLY Knights’ 13-5 REDEEMER win over Holy Redeemer in the District 2 Class 2A championship at PNC Field. “Some of these guys have been with me half their life. It’s the culmination of a lot of hard work by these guys. “They refused – they refused--

to be denied.” It was the Knights’ first district title since 2007. LeValley took over as head coach in 2008 and the team fell short in each of the past three seasons, including a loss to Lakeland in the finals two years ago. For 2011, it was a district title or bust. “This is what we wanted,” said senior Bryan Mathers, one of those long-tenured LeValley players. “Since the beginning of the season, this was our main

goal. And we finally got it.” Mathers played a big role in it, racking up a game-high five RBI and fueling Lehman outbursts of six runs in the second and five in the sixth. The shortstop hit a triple with the bases loaded in the second and knocked in two more with a single in the sixth to help stunt the Royals’ momentum.

THROOP – Valley View’s scouting report of Thursday’s District 2 Class 3A Championship against Dallas read perfectly: one run may just do the trick. To get that one run, Cougars softball coach E.J. Weston acknowledged he would have to pull out all the stops. Weston gave Gabby Santarelli the green light twice in the first inning, yielding the lone run in a 1-0 victory for Valley View’s second consecutive District 2 Class 3A title win over Dallas. After reaching on bases on balls, Santarelli swiped second and third base. A passed ball allowed the left fielder to tally what proved to be the winning run. “We knew we had to do whatever we could to get a run,” See SOFTBALL, Page 4B

OPINION BOB BROOKOVER

For Phillies rookie now is the time WE ARE now only one day away from what should qualify as the new normal for the Phillies lineup. After Shane Victorino gets breakfast and a few more at-bats with double-A Reading Thursday morning, the centerfielder is expected to have dinner in Pittsburgh and join his teammates for the start of a threegame series with the Pirates tonight. It will be the first time this season that manager Charlie Manuel has had full access to the hitters he hoped would be available when the Phillies reported to spring training in mid-February. We’d like to report that this remarkable event caused Manuel to do somersaults and cartwheels in the visiting clubhouse, but a 2-1 loss to the lowly Washington Nationals in the searing heat led to a more subdued reaction. “That’s going to be good,” Manuel said after his offense scratched out only five hits. “That’s going to make us better. Just like when we got (Chase) Utley.” It took two months to reach this point, and three players have been given an opportunity to seize control of the right-field spot vacated when Jayson Werth opted for fame and fortune here in the nation’s capital. Fifty-six games into the season, we have a right-field winner. His name is Domonic Brown. The rookie did not get a chance to start against Nationals lefthander John Lannan in the series finale, but after he nearly delivered a go-ahead pinch hit off lefthanded reliever Doug Slaten in the top of the sixth inning, Manuel made it clear that he’s ready to expand Brown’s playing time. “We didn’t bring Dom to the big leagues to sit him on the bench,” Manuel said. “We brought him to the big leagues to get playing time. Will he play every day? Probably not, because we’re still going to monitor him, but eventually he will.” With the Phillies facing three righthanders — Jeff Karstens, Charlie Morton, and James McDonald — in Pittsburgh, Brown figures to get three straight starts against the Pirates. The Phillies will next face a lefthander when they open a homestand Monday against Los Angeles Dodgers veteran Ted Lilly. That would be a good time to give Brown his first start against a lefthander. “He’s going to play and he’s going to play (against) lefties at times, too,” Manuel said. Brown is undaunted by the idea. In fact, he seems undaunted by everything. “I’m always pretty confident against lefties,” he said. “I hit them pretty well in the minor leagues as well, but it’s a totally different ball game up here. Usually the lefties coming in up here, you know they have something special. They have a slider or a cutter, and usually in the minors they can’t locate that stuff the way these guys can. I think that’s the big thing.” Brown hit .313 in the minors with a .376 on-base percentage last season and he put a solid swing on a 1-0 fastball from Slaten, who was holding lefties to a .194 batting average this season. Only an acrobatic catch by leftfielder Laynce Nix kept it from being a go-ahead hit. The rookie took the catch in stride, as he does just about everything. When the turbulent times of his recent past (including a broken hand suffered in spring training) were recited to him, he shrugged and said he knew injuries and failure would See ROOKIE, Page 7B

On the Mark

International League

Mystery Photo has taken a liking to the five-eighth’s mile of the Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. He’s ready to continue on his winning ways in tonight’s $29,000 Open Trot. The four-year old son of S J’s Photo has won four of his last five starts, including a down the road 1:54.2 triumph here back on May 11. He’s in peak form right now and with driver Ron Pierce at the controls I see no one stopping the Julie Miller trained trotter from taking care of business yet again.

Reyes may be too expensive for cash-strapped Mets By MIKE FITZPATRICK AP Sports Writer

NEW YORK — He’s a homegrown star having a huge season in the media capital of the world. He’s a few days shy of his 28th birthday, just now entering the prime of his career. And by the middle of the summer, Jose Reyes could be gone. In a New York minute. Facing a $1 billion lawsuit because of their business with Bernard Madoff, the cash-strapped owners of the New York Mets have another dilemma on deck: what to do about Reyes? The speedy shortstop is hitting .333 and can become a free agent after the season, so it’s possible his price goes up with every triple toward the gap and headfirst dive into third.

“There’s days he’s the best player in baseball,” Pittsburgh Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. “His skill set can be off the charts. It’s electric.” That puts new Mets general manager Sandy Alderson in a pickle. Trade a popular player for minor league prospects and you anger an already-frustrated fan base. Hold out hope you can afford to re-sign Reyes and risk losing him for nothing more than a pair of draft picks as compensation. It’s a predicament that smallmarket teams in Cleveland, Oakland and Florida face all the time. But in New York, baseball fans want their rebuilding projects limited to the Long Island Expressway. Have patience, huh? Go sell

that to someone in Kansas City, not in a city where the Yankees are the biggest spenders of all. Pay up and put a winner on the field, pal. “This is an ongoing process and one that we’re continuing to evaluate, and a variety of different considerations are in play,” said Alderson, making sure not to tip his pitches. “At some point these will all converge.” Smart, analytical, experienced and levelheaded, Alderson was hired in October and might be just the right man to entrust with such a decision. But in baseball terms, the Mets only manage this game for the next two months. After the July 31trade deadline, it gets tricky. On the diamond, he’s doing everything he can to keep the club respectable and prove he’s wor-

thy of a lucrative, long-term commitment. He’s also a box-office draw at Citi Field — where attendance has dwindled while ownership is counting every dollar. The switch-hitting leadoff man is leading the majors with eight triples and ranks among the NL leaders in batting average, runs, hits, doubles, steals and total bases. He was back in the starting lineup Thursday after a three-day stint on the bereavement list following his grandmother’s death, and helped the Mets to a 9-8 comeback win over Pittsburgh. “He is obviously the complete package. I mean, he’s an offensive player who can turn the game around with his feet. On the defensive side, he can make a huge difference,” Mets manager Terry Collins said.

New York rallies from 7 down The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Carlos Beltran’s three-run homer started New York’s rally from a sevenrun deficit and the Mets pulled off their biggest comeback win in 11 years, beating the Pittsburgh Pirates 9-8 on Thursday. After a tongue-lashing from manager Terry Collins the previous night, New York found itself in a 7-0 hole by the third inning. Beltran homered in the bottom of the third, then hit a leadoff double in the sixth as the Mets scored four times to tie it at 7. Ruben Tejada delivered a go-ahead sacrifice fly in the eighth and Beltran drew a bases-loaded walk later in the inning. It was the Mets’ biggest rally to win since June 30, 2000, when they overcame an 8-1 deficit by scoring 10 times in the eighth to beat Atlanta 11-8, STATS LLC said. The often-excitable Collins was especially exuberant as the Mets shook hands on the field, shouting congratulations to his players and slapping them real hard on the back. The Mets’ beat-up bullpen hung tough the final four innings to salvage a split of the four-game series. Jason Isringhausen (1-0) worked the eighth for the win, and Francisco Rodriguez survived Neil Walker’s RBI single in the ninth for his 16th save. It was 7-all when Ronny

Paulino led off the Mets eighth with a walk against Jose Veras (1-2), moved to second on a balk and third on a wild pitch. Tejada’s sacrifice fly — his third RBI of the game — put the Mets ahead and Beltran’s walk gave them an insurance run. Beltran wound up with four RBIs, Daniel Murphy drove in a run and Jose Reyes provided a spark in his return from the bereavement list for New York. Walker also hit a two-run homer, Xavier Paul had a career-high four hits and Andrew McCutchen drove in a pair of runs for the Pirates, who had been playing better on the road. They won their 17th game away from PNC Park on Wednesday night, matching their total from all of last season, and had won seven of 10 series as the visiting club. The success looked like it would continue early on. Seven of the first 12 Pittsburgh batters singled off Mike Pelfrey. Unlucky No. 13 was Walker, whose two-run shot in the second inning sliced through winds gusting up to 35 mph and bounced off the billboards overhanging the bullpens in right-center field. The deep home run gave the Pirates a 6-0 lead through two innings, and they tacked on another run in the third. Dusty Brown drew a two-out walk, advanced to second on pitcher Paul Maholm’s base hit and

scored on Paul’s third single in as many innings. Rangers 7, Indians 4

CLEVELAND — Endy Chavez had his ninth career fourhit game and the Texas Rangers overcame a three-run deficit to beat the Cleveland. Yorvit Torrealba drove in two runs and Nelson Cruz doubled twice to start threerun rallies to help the defending AL champion Rangers win for the fourth time in their last five road games. Chavez had a run-scoring triple and scored in a three-run sixth against Carlos Carrasco (4-3) that put Texas ahead 6-3. Since being recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on May 14, Chavez is hitting .415 (17 of 41). Twins 8, Royals 2

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Michael Cuddyer drove in two runs, Anthony Swarzak pitched six effective innings and the Minnesota Twins beat the Kansas City Royals. The Twins snapped a fourgame losing streak and picked up their third victory in 13 games. Minnesota sent 10 men to the plate in a six-run third, scoring four unearned runs after Mike Aviles made a throwing error. Denard Span, Matt Tolbert and Rene Rivera had RBI singles and Cuddyer hit a run-scoring double.

third strike. The Indians went up 8-2 in the fourth. Fryer again got hit by a pitch and took third on Gorkys Hernandez’s brokenbat double. After a walk to Chase D’Arnaud, Brian Friday’s sacrifice fly plated Fryer. Alex Presley followed with a towering three-run blast that ended Pope’s night. George Kontos entered the game and gave up a triple to John Bowker that barely eluded Brewer in left. Bowker scored on a wild pitch. Matt Hague’s solo shot in the fifth gave Indianapolis a 9-2 bulge. The Indians added four more in the eighth, including Presley’s second homer with two aboard. The left-handed Wilson (6-3) settled down after the rocky start, allowing three walks and five hits over six frames while fanning five Yankee batters. NOTES: Justin Maxwell sat out a second consecutive game after a collision Tuesday with the left field wall. Maxwell’s .588 slugging percentage tops the International League, while his 16 home runs trail teammate Jorge Vazquez, who has 18. The Yankees open an eightgame stand at PNC Field tonight against Toledo. David Phelps (4-4, 3.50) is scheduled to start for Scranton/WilkesBarre versus Phil Coke, making his first appearance for the Mud Hens since his reassignment from Detroit.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Duquesne’s Everhart withdraws name from PSU coaching search PITTSBURGH (AP) — Duquesne coach Ron Everhart withdrew his name from consideration for the same job at Penn State on Thursday. Everhart, 49, who has led the Dukes to four consecutive winning regular seasons and three straight postseason appearances, interviewed with Penn State athletic di-

rector Tim Curley on Tuesday at an undisclosed location. He was in the mix along with Milwaukee’s Rob Jeter and Boston University’s Pat Chambers for the position left vacated by Ed DeChellis, who took the same job at Navy last week. Everhart is 83-74 at Duquesne, and has three years remaining on a contract that pays him $400,000

per year. TheNittanyLionsarecomingoff a 19-15 season in which they advanced to the NCAA tournament. But the new coach will inherit a rebuildingprojectasgraduationswill give the roster a decidedly new look next season. Among the departures will be guard Talor Battle, who averaged 20.2 points per game

last season. Chambers and Jeter have also interviewed, and both have the backing of some powerful college basketball voices. Chambers, a former Villanova assistant, has Wildcats coach Jay Wright in his corner. And Jeter,aformerWisconsinassistant, has Badgers coach Bo Ryan in his. Everhart, who has also coached

at McNeese State and Northeastern after playing at Virginia Tech, clearly wants to finish what he started with the Dukes. He inheritedateamthatwent3-24in2005-06, and has had only one losing season since. ButtheDukeshavenotmadethe NCAA tournament since the 197677 season, and Everhart has never

made the NCAA in his17 years as a Division I coach. So, there is definitely work still to be done in Pittsburgh. Interestingly enough, Everhart and Duquesne lost to Penn State, 77-73,onDec.4attheBryceJordan Center in State College. And the two teams will face each other again this season in Pittsburgh.

Nanticoke falls in district final Unbeaten Elk Lake scores twice in bottom of seventh to eliminate Trojanettes. By JOHN ERZAR jerzar@timesleader.com

SCRANTON – Just when extra innings seemed imminent, that break – the kind that can be so decisive – appeared Thursday. And with it, Nanticoke’s hopes for another state softball championship disappeared. Elk Lake rallied for two runs in the bottom of the seventh, the second scoring on a two-out error, as the Warriors ended Nanticoke’s reign with a 2-1 victory in the District 2 Class 2A championship game at Marywood University. “We told them in the seventh inning that we’re looking to tie the game up and go extra innings,” said Elk Lake coach Tony Blaisure, who posted his 400th career victory earlier in the season. “Not win it, just tie it.” Elk Lake, which won the title in 2009, improved to 17-0 and will play District 11 champion Pen Argyl (17-7) on Monday in the first round of the PIAA Class 3A tournament. Nanticoke ended its season at 17-1. “Sometimes it just doesn’t go your way,” said Nanticoke coach Gary Williams, whose team lost for only the second time in two years. “You play enough one-run games, you’re bound to lose one sooner or later.” The loss didn’t look like it would happen in the bottom of the seventh. Elk Lake’s Brooke Darling started the frame with a double to the left field fence, quite a feat considering how strong the wind was blowing in from left. Casey Tyler followed with a triple to right, scoring pinch runner Debbie Harvey to tie the score 1-1. The next two batters tried to bunt, but after two strikes Nanticoke pitcher Sarah Bertoni struck out the first swinging and the other looking. That left Kayla Marcy, who hit a grounder that resulted in an error to score Tyler. Marcy couldn’t describe her feelings when she was called safe. “It was a whole bunch of everything,” Marcy said. Until then, Elk Lake hadn’t done much offensively, managing just two hits through the first six innings. The closest the Warriors came to scoring was when Mar-

cy reached on an error in the third and was eventually stranded at third. Nanticoke came back to score in the top of the fourth. Ang Hillman bunted her way on with one out. Bertoni followed with a lined double just over the head of first baseman Kelsey Mitchell. The ball hugged the foul line before rolling into the corner, allowing Hillman to score easily. Bertoni went to third on the throw home, but like Marcy ended up stuck there. Bertoni also was stranded at second in the sixth when she hit a rare infield double with one out. Her pop-up just in front of the second base bag swirled in the harsh wind as Elk Lake shortstop Tyler and second baseman Bri Hollenbeck lost their bearings and let the ball drop. Nanticoke also left runners on first and second with two outs in the fifth. “I thought we put the ball in play,” Williams said, “but give them a lot of credit. I heard their defense was shaky, but they played better defense than I expected. They did a good job.” Nanticoke

MOOSIC -- They came within an out of their season ending on Tuesday. On Thursday, the Tunkhannock Tigers weren’t going to leave any doubt. Kyle Custer led off the game for the Tigers in style, sending the fourth pitch he saw over the wall in right field at PNC Field for a home run that electrified the home dugout. And that solo shot was all Mike Healey needed in a 10-0, six-inning rout of West Scranton in the District 2 Class 3A championship. Tunkhannock’s ace was dominant on the hill, missing a perfect game by just one batter, finishing with a complete-game, one-hit shutout to capture the Tigers’ second straight district crown. Healey struck out seven and didn’t allow a walk while facing just one batter over the minimum. “That was about the best I’ve felt, well, ever,” Healey said after collecting another gold medal. The UConn recruit had rescued the second-seeded Tigers in Tuesday’s semifinals, blasting a two-out, two-run homer in the bottom of the seventh to beat Abington Heights 5-4. Healey said that game and how it ended was almost overwhelming for the Tigers (16-2). But by the time Thursday’s game rolled around, there weren’t any lingering nerves. Between Custer’s leadoff homer and Healey’s excellence, things turned fun for Tunkhannock in a hurry. “I can’t even tell you -- playing behind (Healey) has to be one of the best things in the world,” said Custer, who finished 4-for-4 and added a double. “He is the best

pitcher I’ve ever been around. ... He’s always got control, but tonight he was bringing the BBs. “He was locked in. We were all locked in.” Very much so. It started with Healey setting the fourth-seeded Invaders (15-4) down in order in the top of the first. And the party began when Custer cleared the fence in the Tigers’ first at-bat. “It felt good off the bat, but I thought it was gonna go foul at first,” Custer said. “But it felt good off the bat.” His father and head coach had a different feeling when he first saw the ball launched. “Disbelief,” Gary Custer said with a big laugh. “He came out of his shell today. He’s been struggling on and off a little bit -- he’s been a Punch-and-Judy-type hitter all year long, but today he was back to how he was playing as a sophomore.”

And it wasn’t just Kyle Custer coming through at the plate, as seven different Tigers came up with at least a hit. Virginia recruit Mike Papi had an RBI double and drew three walks, one with the bases loaded. Rich Condeelis drove in two with a double with a third run coming around to score on the play because of a bobble. That fueled a six-run second inning, with three more following in the third. Up next for Tunkhannock is a date with District 4 champ Jersey Shore on Monday in the state tournament, with the time and District 2 site to be determined. But there will be at least a little time to savor this one, particularly Healey’s dominance. “Oh my God,” Gary Custer said. “Healey -- I’m so damn proud of that kid. He pitched a gem. That’s the best game he’s thrown all year. He was on top of it. Great command of the curveball and fastball. That’s why he’s going to UConn.” Tunkhannock 10, West Scranton 0 (6 inn.)

Class 3A pitchers in the district. Dallas’ Kristen Baker struck out six in as many innings but was plagued by walks, allowing five free passes. The Mountaineers’ pitching and defense, Weston said, is what forced the Cougars to be aggressive on the base paths. “When you’re facing a kid like Baker, you got to make things happen some times. You can either live by the sword or die by the sword. You take risks; you get lucky. And we were fortunate that we did.” Baker’s counterpart on the mound – Valley View’s Gina Chieffallo – proved just as dominant. Chieffallo fanned nine in seven innings, did not give up a walk and allowed just an infield ground ball hit by Mary Kate Osick in the fourth inning. She had movement on her high fastball, forcing several Mountaineer batters to swing outside of the strike zone. “In a game like this, you’ve got to give yourself a chance and we didn’t give ourselves a chance,” said Dallas coach Joyce Tinner. “We swung at a lot of bad pitches, and that’s a credit to (Chieffallo).” The Mountaineers featured five four-year starters who won three division winners, two district championships and starred in the District 2 title game every season. In the four years, they accumulated a 5617 record.

ern, led by doubles from Dominick Policare and Christian Choman, the latter of which brought Scott Bean on for the final two outs in the seventh. That put the Knights through to the 2A state tournament, where they will face District 4 champ Danville on Monday at a time and District 4 site to be determined. Redeemer finished the year at 11-8, losing in the district finals for the second straight season. “It’s not a good feeling,” Ritsick said. “It’s great to be here, but it’s tough to finish second two years in a row.”

sixth, as Dan Byorick hit a twoout RBI single before Eric Ringsdorf scored on a wild pitch. A walk loaded the bases, but Lehman starter Tyler McGovern (6 1/3 IP, six strikeouts) buckled down and got a grounder to second to keep the Black Knights’ lead at three. As they did all game, the Knights (18-1) responded. Curt Barbacci (2-for-3, three RBI) hit a two-run triple in the bottom of the sixth before Mathers cashed in, turning a tenuous three-run advantage into the Knights’ biggest lead of the day. “The kids answered the bell. ... Every time (Redeemer) put some runs up, we responded,” LeValley said. The Knights got started in the second getting a leadoff triple from Zack Yursha, followed by back-to-back RBI singles from Cole and Curt Barbacci. Mathers hit his bases-clearing triple and McGovern brought him home with a single for a 6-0 lead. But the Royals had posted a big rally in last season’s district title game and weren’t about to go

away. Reliever Pat Condo got out of a bases-loaded jam in the bottom of the third to keep the deficit at six before Redeemer broke through. After loading the bases with no outs, the Royals looked to get the big hit they needed when Ringsdorf sent a sharp drive that appeared to land on the chalk of the first-base line but was ruled foul. Ringsdorf ended up bringing a run home on a groundout before two more runs scored on a throw-

ing error following a strikeout to make it 6-3. Lehman answered in the home half with RBI singles from Cole Barbacci and Troy Shurites to go back up by five. “We never felt like we were out of the game,” Royals coach Chris Ritsick said. “But every time we answered, they had an answer back for us.

McElroy, Riley tied for lead in Memorial DUBLIN, Ohio — Rory McIlroy only gets to play three regular PGA Tour events this year. He showed Thursday why the Memorial Tournament was one of them. On a Muirfield Village course that already ranks among his favorites, McIlroy had a birdie putt on his last eight holes and converted half of them on his way to a 6-under 66 to join Chris Riley in the lead after the first round. McIlroy hit the ball so pure that he shot 32 on the front nine despite missing three birdie putts inside 8 feet. “A great way to start the tournament,” McIlroy said. The 22-year-old from Northern Ireland narrowly made the cut at Wentworth in the BMW PGA Championship and wound up in a tie for 24th. Asked the difference between last week and this week, he replied, “It’s about 30 degrees warmer.” A tournament known for its sloppy

weather has been spectacular, and it showed in the scoring on a well-manicured course. Chris DiMarco and Josh Teater were at 67, followed by a large group at 68 that included Steve Stricker, Dustin Johnson, Stewart Cink and Rickie Fowler, the runner-up at the Memorial last year. Fifty-one players in the 120-man field broke par. Luke Donald, in his debut as the No. 1 player in the world ranking, recovered from a slow start by making four straight birdies toward the end of his round for a 70. He played with Masters champion Charl Schwartzel and four-time major champion Phil Mickelson, who each had a 72. Mickelson did that without making a single birdie on the par 5s. Riley was in the first group to play in the morning and relied heavily on his putter to take advantage of the smooth greens, although scoring conditions were not much different in the afternoon. “The less I think, the better I play,” Ri-

ley said. “And today, I didn’t have time to think. The pace of play was so good and I didn’t stand around and think about shots. I just played golf.” This is the last tournament for McIlroy before the U.S. Open, a chance for the No. 6 player in the world to atone for his 80 in the final round that cost him a chance to win the Masters. That collapse hasn’t stayed with him long. He was third the next week in Malaysia, and while he missed the cut while defending his title at Quail Hollow, he reached the quarterfinals of the World Match Play in Spain. And now, the U.S. Open beckons — along with a chance to win on another stronger course in America. “This is one of my favorite weeks of the year, one of my favorite courses,” McIlroy said. “I feel as if it really does set up well for me. I like these sort of golf courses, the likes of here and Akron (Firestone) and Quail Hollow. And I’m swinging well, I’m hitting it good and I’m holing a few putts. Hopefully, I can keep it going for the next three days.”

McIlroy likes to play the game through the air, the brand of golf most often seen in America. But he doesn’t get out as often. By giving up his PGA Tour membership, he is allowed to play only 10 tournaments. That includes the four majors and three World Golf Championships, with The Players Championship not counting against his number — although McIlroy chose not to play this year. And that’s probably not going to change soon. “Even if I did win, I still probably wouldn’t take my card up,” McIlroy said. “As a European and playing in some European events over the summer, like the French Open and the Irish Open, we have a very busy summer of golf. And I felt like after the PGA last year at Whistling Straits, I wanted to take a couple of weeks off just to refresh. You couldn’t reAP PHOTO ally do it.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

BCS to explain itself to the Justice Department The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department’s antitrust division will meet with the BCS this summer, following up on concerns the department raised with the NCAA about college football’s postseason format. Bowl Championship Series executive director Bill Hancock told the Associated Press on Thursday that a Justice Department attorney last week asked for a voluntary background briefing on how the BCS operates.

NFL

Hancock said he agreed to provide one, but that no date has been set yet. “We view it as an opportunity to make it clear that the BCS was crafted very carefully with antitrust laws in mind,” Hancock said. The Justice Department initially raised its concerns with the NCAA, asking why there wasn’t a playoff for college football’s highest level and said there were “serious questions” about whether the current format to determine

a national champion complies with antitrust laws. But NCAA President Mark Emmert responded in a letter last month that the department’s questions were best directed to the BCS. Critics who have urged the department to investigate the BCS contend it unfairly gives some schools preferential access to the title game and lucrative, top-tier bowls at the end of the season. Hancock said he wasn’t concerned with the Justice Depart-

ment’s request for a meeting. “We take seriously any connection in Washington, and we’re certainly taking this seriously,” he said. “But I view it as an opportunity, because we’re confident that the BCS is on strong legal ground.” Under the BCS, the champions of six conferences have automatic bids to play in top-tier bowl games; the other five conferences don’t. But Hancock said that the BCS, which was established in

break up the BCS, “ ... I suspect what we will do is go right back to the old bowl system and the conferences will make their deals — the same things we used to have. “Then it will give (the media) the opportunity to write editorials about how we should have a playoff system or bring the BCS back.” Hancock said the meeting will be the first the BCS has had with the department at least since he joined the organization in 2005.

Burrows avoids penalty for biting

Lockout ruling imminent

Court of Appeals to conduct hearing today that could prove to be pivotal..

By GREG BEACHAM AP Sports Writer

By BARRY WILNER AP Pro Football Writer

From mediated talks to arguments before an appeals court, the NFL’s labor dispute has reached another critical stage. The league and its players completed three straight days of notso-secret negotiations Thursday, and now head for the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis for a hearing that could prove pivotal in the nearly three-month lockout. The three-judge panel will ultimately decide whether the lockout should continue, and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and union chief DeMaurice Smith, among others, are expected to be inside the courtroom today. Training camps, meanwhile, normally would open in about seven weeks, but this, of course, is no normal year for pro football. Ben Leber, one of 10 plaintiffs on the still-pending antitrust lawsuit against the league, said the players haven’t discussed a specific drop-dead date for reaching an agreement to ensure the ontime start of training camps. But he said it’s necessary to have a date to reach a deal. “Both sides have a day, whether they want to make it public or not,” Leber said. “The biggest challenge is going to lie with whose day is going to come up first. Once it got to this point, I think it was just a good guess based on most corporate labor disputes that nothing was going to get done until the 11th hour. Now it depends on which 11th hour gets here first.” Goodell and owners Jerry Jones, Robert Kraft and John Mara were among those joined in a Chicago suburb by Smith and a group of players, including NFLPA president Kevin Mawae, before U.S. Magistrate Judge Arthur Boylan. Both sides issued statements saying they would honor a court-ordered confidentiality agreement. Boylan then canceled mediation sessions scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday in Minneapolis. A person with knowledge of the talks told The Associated Press that the term “settlement negotiations” doesn’t necessarily mean an agreement is near. The person, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the judge’s confidentiality order, said canceling next week’s sessions was simply a way to keep the process as private as possible.

Howard waited 6,180 days to play in a finals game. The Heat hope it was worth it. Howard was drafted in 1994 and has made the NBA’s title round for the first time. He’s in his 17th season, which is why teammates have been known to yell “17!” when he does something well. Coach Erik Spoelstra said Howard has been a key all season, even if he plays sparingly. “He has been invaluable to this group because of his veteran experience, his leadership,” Spoelstra said. “The guys respect him. And they did from the very first day of training camp.” FINAL GAME 1 NUMBERS: ESPN and ABC released the final viewing numbers for Game 1, and as the overnight ratings released Wednesday suggested, it was a ratings hit. Game 1 of the Dallas-Miami series was watched in 10,475,000 households and drew 15,171,000 viewers, according to Nielsen. It was Tuesday night’s highest-rated program and drew more than 1 million more viewers than Game 1 of the Celtics-Lakers series last year. FACEBOOK FIGURES: A social media engagement and management company says the Heat have more Facebook fans, but the Mavericks’ Facebook fans are more active. The company’s data show the Heat with 2.9 million fans, with 159,491 or 5.5 percent active. The Mavs have 659,743 fans, with 74,621 or 11.3 percent active. The analysis, done by the company FanGager, is based on the overall percentage of fans who post comments and participate in activities at the social network.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — The Vancouver Canucks don’t understand the big fuss about a little bite. Neither did the NHL. Vancouver forward Alex Burrows avoided a suspension in the Stanley Cup finals Thursday when league officials decided they couldn’t prove he deliberately bit the finger of Boston’s Patrice Bergeron during the Canucks’ series-opening 1-0 victory. Although the Bruins weren’t terribly happy about NHL disciplinarian Mike Murphy’s decision, both teams realize they’ve got bigger issues than the afterthe-whistle shenanigans that happen constantly in the NHL, particularly under playoff intensity. After all, players have been biting, gouging, facewashing, elbowing, grabbing, spearing — and don’t forget punching — since probably the first period of the first game after Canada invented hockey. “That’s how French guys say hello to one another,” joked Alexandre Bolduc, who centered the Canucks’ fourth line in Game 1. “You want to show respect, you put your fingers in someone’s mouth.” Daniel and Henrik Sedin were relieved that such a silly incident didn’t sideline their linemate early in what’s shaping up as a gritty, goalie-dominated series heading into Game 2 on Saturday night. Roberto Luongo shut out the Bruins with 36 saves, and Boston’s Tim Thomas matched him in a penalty-plagued game featuring six power plays for each team. Raffi Torres finally scored with 18.5 seconds to play, giving Vancouver a series-opening victory and the accompanying 77 percent historic probability of winning its first Stanley Cup title. “We need him out there,” said NHL scoring champion Daniel Sedin, who took eight shots without a goal in Game 1. “He plays in every situation. Big part of this team. Obviously, we’re happy to have him inside the rink.” Burrows wasn’t made available to reporters after the Canucks’ light practice Thursday at the University of British Columbia. The Bruins refused to get indignant about the NHL’s decision, with Boston coach Claude Julien cautioning his players against whining about a single play in a chippy game.

STANLEY CUP FINALS (Best-of-7) Vancouver 1, Boston 0 Wednesday, June 1: Vancouver 1, Boston 0 Saturday: Boston at Vancouver, 8 p.m. Monday: Vancouver at Boston, 8 p.m. Wednesday: Vancouver at Boston, 8 p.m. x-June 10: Boston at Vancouver, 8 p.m. x-June 13: Vancouver at Boston, 8 p.m. x-June 15: Boston at Vancouver, 8 p.m.

“I’m over it,” Bergeron said Thursday after the Bruins’ workout. “I’m looking forward to the next game. We’ve got to get back in the series. Like I said last night, it’s the league’s decision, and I’ve got to let them make it. ... I don’t want to whine about that stuff. I don’t care.” After the game, Bergeron declared Burrows had bitten him while they scuffled after the firstperiod buzzer, even showing his bandaged right index finger and saying he planned to take antibiotics. In the television replay that seemingly played on an infinite loop in Vancouver’s bars and restaurants Wednesday night, Bergeron’s gloved right index finger sure appeared to go into Burrows’ mouth. Bergeron claimed Burrows then bit down on him, but Burrows denied it. “It’s too bad that something like that has to happen in the Stanley Cup finals,” Julien said. “I think there’s better ways of resolving issues than getting to that.” Bergeron scoffed at the notion he had deliberately put his finger in Burrows’ mouth. Both players had their gloves in each other’s face at different points of the scuffle. “We were both facewashing each other, and I didn’t need to put my finger in his mouth,” Bergeron said. “Why would I do that?” Although fighting usually drops in the postseason, old-time hockey never goes out of style. Scrums and shoving matches have occurred after any whistle involving physical play throughout the 22-season career of Mark Recchi, Boston’s veteran forward.

Djokovic, Federer in spotlight

Continued from Page 1B

Defending champion Nadal plays Murray, but is intrigued by the other semifinal match. By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer

PARIS — Even Rafael Nadal acknowledges his French Open semifinal against Andy Murray is not nearly as intriguing as the one between unbeaten Novak Djokovic and16-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer. “It’s the best player of today against the best player in history. ... It’s going to be a beautiful match,” Nadal said. “I would watch it — if I was a spectator.” Sure, there’s a lot on the line for the entire quartet of men who’ll be playing at Roland Garros on Friday, which one might expect, given that it’s only the 12th time in the Open era, which dates to 1968, that the top four seeded players reached the semifinals at any Grand Slam tournament. Top-seeded Nadal, for example, is bidding to tie Bjorn Borg’s record of six French Open championships. No. 4 Murray is dealing with an injured right ankle as he hopes to win his first Grand Slam title — and give Britain its first male champion at a major tennis tournament since 1936. No. 3 Federer, meanwhile, has gone more than 16 months without reaching a Grand Slam final, which doesn’t sound too bad unless you consider it’s the guy’s longest gap since he won Wimbledon in 2003. Lofty aims, certainly. But nothing compared to what No. 2 Djokovic is chasing: • The 24-year-old Serb is 41-0 in 2011, and a win over Federer would allow Djokovic to tie John McEnroe’s record for best start to a season in the Open era, 42-0 in 1984. • Add in two victories for Serbia against France in the Davis Cup final in December, and Djokovic’s winning streak stands at 43 overall, three shy of Guillermo Vilas’ mark of 46 in a row in 1977. • Djokovic is seeking to reach his first final in Paris; if he were to win the title, he’d be the first man since Jim Courier in 1992 to win the Australian Open and French Open in the same year. • If he beats Federer, Djokovic will be assured of rising to No. 1 in the ATP rankings for the first time, no matter what happens in the Nadal-Murray semifinal or in Sunday’s championship match. “To be honest, I’m thinking about this tournament only. I definitely want to go as far as I can in Roland Garros. And then, you know, if the No. 1 ranking comes this week, I’ll be more than happy, definitely,” Djokovic said. “But it’s not something I’m thinking about.” In the women’s final Saturday, No. 5 Francesca Schiavone of Italy, the defending champion, will face No. 6 Li Na of China. Li eliminated Maria Sharapova of Russia 6-4, 7-5 Thursday, while Schiavone beat Marion Bartoli of France 6-3, 6-3.

Li takes step closer to history Victory over Sharapova paves the way for China to get first grand slam title.. By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer

PARIS — As Maria Sharapova prepared to serve while only a point from defeat in the French Open semifinals, Li Na was thinking what any opponent would at that precise moment. “I was, like, ‘Please, doublefault. That way I can win the match,”’ Li explained to the crowd a few moments later. Sharapova obliged. Her second serve hit the white tape atop the net and bounced back for Sharapova’s 10th double-fault of an error-filled afternoon, closing Li’s 6-4, 7-5 victory Thursday. The result ended Sharapova’s bid to complete a career Grand Slam, and allowed Li to reach a second consecutive major final. At the Australian Open in January, Li was the runner-up, the first tennis player from China to reach a major championship match. At the French Open on Saturday — when she will play defending champion Francesca Schiavone — Li can become the first Grand Slam champion from her nation of more than 1 billion people. The sixth-seeded Li said she wants her sport to “get bigger and bigger” back home. Noting that Chinese children probably saw her semifinal on TV, Li said that perhaps “they think that maybe one day, they can do the same — or even better.” A year ago at Roland Garros, Schiavone became the first woman from Italy to win one of tennis’ four most important titles. But she had failed to make it to the final of any tournament since then, until taking the last four games to beat 11th-seeded

be in his future as soon as he made professional baseball his career choice. “I know exactly what’s going on and the situation,” Brown said. “I don’t get mad. I don’t get frustrated because I do understand. It would be a different thing if I didn’t understand what was going on. That’s when the problems come. I understand there are going to be injuries and you’re going to struggle. It just takes time.” The time for Brown is now, and he can thank Werth, Ben Francisco and John Mayberry Jr. for the opportunity. Francisco and Mayberry followed respectable Aprils by hitting below .200 in May. It’s quite possible that Mayberry will play his next game at Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Brown, meanwhile, has captured the fancy of his offensiveminded manager by hitting .324 in his first 11 games. “We’ve been struggling offensively and we still are, and we want to be able to score and generate more runs,” Manuel said. “We want to put guys on the field that we felt would be our best offense and we figured (Brown) could play a part in that.” The sample is still small and Brown has much to prove. Manuel remembered how Hank Blalock tore through the American League eight years ago as a rookie, but then lefties eventually “buried him alive” and ended his career. The 23-year-old Brown doesn’t see that happening. “I can’t even lie,” he said. “I’m expecting to do well.” Bob Brookover is a columnist for The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Big 12 finalizes basketball plans

Russia’s Maria Sharapova reacts as she plays China’s Li Na during their semifinal match of the French Open in Paris.

Marion Bartoli of France 6-3, 6-3 Thursday. “When I come here,” the fifthseeded Schiavone said, “I feel something special.” After Bartoli’s last two-handed forehand — she grips her racket with both fists on nearly every shot — dropped into the net to end the day’s second semifinal, Schiavone celebrated by bending down and rubbing her right palm on the clay court, then making a fist and kissing it. She fell in love with the French Open the first time she came to play in the junior tournament and got a chance to see Steffi Graf and Monica Seles play in the semifinals. Schiavone sat in the stands, like any other fan, and snapped a photo she still looks at to this day. “I remember that moment,” Schiavone recounted, “and I

(said then), ’I want to play in this court. I want to be like them.”’ At 30, Schiavone would be the first woman at least that old to win a Grand Slam title since Martina Navratilova was 33 at Wimbledon in 1990. Combine Schiavone’sagewiththe29-yearold Li’s, and Saturday’s match will have the oldest pair of finalists at a major tournament in 13 years. “The years can help a lot,” Schiavone said. “Is like the wine.” The final will provide quite a contrast in styles. Comfortable on clay, Schiavone looks for chances to charge the net and lathers her shots with plenty of spin, accompanying most with loud grunts. She’s also among the most demonstrative women on tour, and she skipped with delight after many

of her 22 winners, twice as many as Bartoli hit. Much more confident on hard courts, Li prefers to stay at the baseline, hitting flat shots in near silence. Only as the end neared against Sharapova did Li occasionally pump a fist. Driving her big forehand near lines, Li finished with 24 winners, double Sharapova’s count. It was a performance that prompted Li’s coach since April, Michael Mortensen, to describe her Thursday as “kind of Roger Federer of the women; she can do so many things.” Perhaps due to swirling wind, what began as a high-quality contest between two big hitters devolved for a bit into a competition to determine who would serve less poorly. In one stretch, there were five consecutive breaks of serve.

The new rules, adopted Wednesday at the conference meetings, will apply to both men and women’s basketball. The women’s tounament will also run concurrently with the men’s — Wednesday through Saturday. The league also voted to sponsor championships in rowing and equestrian, adding both as women’s sports. This will help schools neutralize football’s impact on Title IX gender requirements. Only four Big 12 schools currently have rowing teams and only four field equestrian teams.

CMYK Lower expectations on jobs New jobs, in thousands

ISM looks at services

Hopes are pretty slim that the Labor Department will report a big increase in hiring during May. Applications for unemployment benefits are stuck at a level that signals weak growth in jobs. And the Institute for Supply Management says the nation’s factories hired workers at a slower pace last month. Companies are spending more for energy and raw materials. So many are thinking twice before taking on new staffers.

After the Institute for Supply Management said earlier this week that manufacturing slowed during May, economists expect a similar report about service companies. All businesses are dealing with higher costs for energy and supplies. The ISM reports are compiled from surveys of managers who do the purchasing for companies. They include a look at hiring and how much companies are paying for the goods they buy.

Ford’s small engine will improve fuel economy

Ford Motor Co. plans to introduce its smallest engine ever by 2013 as part of the industry’s race to improve fuel economy. Ford said Thursday it’s working on a one-liter, three-cylinder engine that will be available in small cars globally. Ford didn’t say which cars will get the engine. The engine has Ford’s EcoBoost technology, which uses turbocharging, direct injection and other technologies to boost performance. Ford says the EcoBoost three-cylinder will have the same power as a four-cylinder but will be much more fuel-efficient. Three-cylinder engines are common in Europe and Asia, but the only one currently available in the U.S. is in the Smart Fortwo. The Fortwo has a 70horsepower engine — the same as some snowmobiles — and gets 41 miles per gallon on the highway.

NEW YORK — Shoppers are showing signs of pulling back on spending on discretionary items like clothing and home goods as gasoline and groceries eat up more of their paychecks. Those pressures led many retailers on Thursday to report only modest revenue increases in May, the latest sign of the economy hitting a soft patch. Retailers that cater to wealthy shoppers

ers, according to the International Council of Shopping Centers. Excluding gasoline, the figure rose 3.7 percent. That was within the 3 percent to 4 percent range expected, said Mike Niemira, ICSC chief economist and director of research. “On the surface, the numbers look pretty good,” Niemira said. “But it is being driven by a very narrow set of retailers.” The figures are based on revenue from stores open at least one year.

State gets settlement

Pennsylvania will receive $300,000 as part of a 10-state settlement resulting from an examination of Mortgage Access Corp., doing business as Weichert Financial Services, the Department of Banking announced. The examination, conducted jointly by banking regulatory agencies from each state, found that Weichert, headquartered in Morris Plains, N.J., circumvented state mortgage licensing laws and allowed and paid for unlicensed individuals to originate and process mortgage loan applications. The result was a $3 million settlement to be divided equally among the states.

The executive editor of The New York Times will step down Sept. 5 after eight years on the job. The Times announced Thursday that Bill Keller is leaving the post to return to writing. He will be replaced by Jill Abramson, the paper’s managing editor. She will become the first woman to hold that job at the paper. Keller plans to write for The New York Times Magazine and the paper’s Sunday opinion and news section.

Groupon will go public

Fast-growing daily deal site Groupon Inc. on Thursday filed to go public, the first step what will be one of the year’s most hotly anticipated initial public offerings. Groupon estimated it would raise $750 million from new investors when it goes public, confirming weeks of speculation. It said it hadn’t decided how many shares to offer or how to price them. The filing also gives the first peek at Groupon’s finances. The company has grown to $645 million in revenue in the first quarter from just $3.3 million in the same quarter two years ago, though it has sacrificed profits in the name of growth. Groupon now has 83 million subscribers. Groupon’s move follows an IPO last month by social-networking site LinkedIn Corp. that valued that company at $9 billion by the end of its first day of trading. The company offers its subscribers the chance to purchase daily discounts targeted to their city and preferences.

WalMart is trying to win back customers who defected to other retailers after it cut thousands of grocery items, including some best-selling brands. It’s restocking those items, but the process is taking longer than expected. In the meantime, sales at Wal-Mart stores have been disappointing.

Goldman Sachs gets subpoena

By CHRISTINA REXRODE and RACHEL BECK AP Business Writers

NEW YORK — Goldman Sachs Group Inc. was subpoenaed by the Manhattan District Attorney’s office over the investment bank’s activities leading up to the financial crisis, a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press. Goldman’s shares are down 20 percent so far this year and are at levels not seen since last July. Goldman has been watched by lawmakers and regulators since marketing risky investments that bet on the housing market’s success just before the mortgage meltdown. Simultaneously the bank reaped billions of dollars from its own bets that the housing market would collapse. Those gains have also made it the target of intense media scrutiny and public outrage. “This is just another thorn in Goldman’s side,” says Peter Henning, a professor of law at Wayne State University in Detroit. The government’s request for information from Goldman is the first stage of an investigation, but it does not mean the company will necessarily face any charges, Henning says. The subpoena follows the April release of a 639-page Senate report that showed Goldman had steered investors toward mortgage securities it knew would likely fail. The report, which was the result of a Senate panel investigation of the financial crisis, found that Goldman marketed four sets of complex mortgage securities to banks and other investors.

The popular stand on River Street opened for the season Thursday, one year to the day after the death of owner Robert ‘Mr. Bob’ Zaremski. His wife, Janine Zaremski, is operating the business and said, ‘Hopefully, he’s up there watching over us.’ The business was closed all of 2010 because of the death, but Zaremski said the stand will be open all season, every day from noon to 10 p.m. with the exception of July 4th, when the business will be closed so its 15 employees can spend Independence Day with their families.

Seeking slice of the Back Mountain By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

DALLAS -- Pizza is in Patrick Cunningham’s blood, and now, thanks to Cunningham, Pizza Bella will be in the Back Mountain. Cunningham, 41, of Nanticoke, has signed an agreement with Pizza Bella to open a franchise of the popular pizzeria at 31 Lake St. The location seemed a perfect fit, said Cunningham. He said the proximity to Misericordia University, businesses and residences along and just off Memorial Highway and the steady traffic of people driving to and from Harveys Lake, Tunkhannock and Wilkes-Barre made it a location worth taking a chance on. While the economy is still struggling to recover, Cunningham, a 1988 GAR High School graduate, said he felt he had the experience and knowledge of the pizza business to make it work. “Anything’s risky, but if you do it well enough you’ll make it work,” Cunningham said. Dallas Borough has given zoning ap-

proval for the business to open, something Cunningham said should happen in about two weeks. He said he has hired about 70 percent of the planned staff of 20 to 30. From drivers to wait staff, kitchen staff to dishwashers, he said he is bringing jobs to the Back Mountain and perhaps even more important, he is bringing them Pizza Bella. Since he worked at the restaurant’s other locationsfornearlyadecade,hesaidhehas seen how much people love the menu, the

recipes and the atmosphere. As part of the franchise rights, he has access to it all and he said the food you are used to eating at Pizza Bellas in Ashley, Nanticoke,PlainsandFortyFortwillbethe same food you’ll find in Dallas. “I’m giving the Back Mountain something to enjoy, whether they dine in, take out or have it delivered,” Cunningham said. He said rather than making the pizzeria a “Cunningham’s” or a “Patrick’s Pizza,” sticking with the tried and true Pizza Bella name seemed like the smart route. “It’s good quality ingredients, good food and good name recognition,” he said. Dan Claherty, owner of the Pizza Bella brand, declined comment for this story. The building is owned by Ruckno Construction and was home to the now-closed restaurant 31 Lake. Cunningham has signed a four-year lease on the building and said he plans on being there a lot longer. The pizza business has been part of his life for 30 years. He said he learned to make a pie at the old Budd’s Pizza in Ashley, which is ironically now a Pizza Bella location.

WASHINGTON — Businesses cut back on their orders for heavy machinery, computers and autos in April, partly because the March earthquake in Japan has made components parts harder to come by. Orders to U.S. factories fell 1.2 percent in April and a measure that signals business investment dropped 2.3 percent, the Commerce Department reported Thursday. Orders to factories totaled $440.4 billion in April on a seasonally adjusted basis. That’s 31.1 percent higher than the recessionlow hit in March 2009. Manufacturing has been one of the strongest areas of the economy since the recession ended. But it has shown signs of slowing in recent months. On Wednesday the Institute of Supply Management reported that its index of manufacturing activity expanded in May at the slowest pace in 20 months. Analysts believe much of the weakness is temporary. Japan makes many of the parts used in electronics and autos assembled in the United States, so factory shutdowns there affect U.S. production. And higher energy prices have cut into consumer and business spending, limiting demand for factory goods. Economists expect businesses will step up their purchases of manufactured goods this year to take advantage of a one-year tax break on investments in new equipment.

The S&P 500 is down nearly 4 percent since it reached a 2011 high of 1,363.61 on April 29. Investors have gotten a series of disappointing reports on the job market, housing and consumer spending — and manufacturing, which has been one of the big forces behind the economy’s recovery from the recession. There is often a pause in an economic recovery – a series of bad numbers doesn’t necessarily mean we’re heading to another recession. Analysts have different opinions about this pause.

Ryan Detrick, Senior technical strategist Schaeffer’s Investment Research

Oliver Pursche, President Gary Goldberg Financial Services

The job market is weak. Initial claims for unemployment benefits have been stuck above 400,000. Economists believe claims must fall to 375,000 for job growth to be sustained. Payroll processor ADP said Wednesday that private employers added 38,000 jobs in May, down from 177,000 in April. Investors fear this is a trend that will be confirmed by the government’s jobs report Friday.

May and June are historically weak months for stocks. Investors aren’t getting good economic news that would reverse the trend. Instead, they are responding disproportionately to fears about the European debt crisis and uncertainty about the Federal Reserve’s next steps when its $600 billion bond-buying program ends this month. By mid-July, investors will have clarity on both of those issues.

Investors should be worried.

This selloff was expected.

Jack Ablin, Chief investment officer Harris Private Bank

Harry Rady, CEO Rady Asset Management

Investors have reasons to fear that this is more than just a cyclical downturn.

Think investors are panicking? They may not be worrying enough.

The Institute for Supply Management’s Wednesday report that its manufacturing index fell to 53.5 in May from 60.4 in April shocked investors into fears of a double-dip recession. It was the third straight drop in the index. Manufacturing was one of the few areas that had seemed to be steadily recovering.

Investors are being complacent considering the growing federal budget deficit, the weak housing market, the European debt crisis and the end of the Fed’s stimulus program. The stock market’s so-called fear gauge, the CBOE Volatility Index, or VIX, is at 18. That’s below its historical average of 19. It’s more proof of investors’ care-free attitude. Investors should be cautious. Francesca Levy, Chip Cutter, Elizabeth Gramling • AP

Outside this morning the weather feels like it did over central Canada two days ago. Indeed, this is pristine air from far northern latitudes, and it'll cover our region all day today and into tonight. In fact, this air is so dry that there probably won't even be any clouds forming today. Just a cool breeze and uninterrupted sunshine. Skies should remain clear tonight and through much of the day tomorrow along with slightly warmer temperatures. Do keep in mind that the sun's rays are very intense these days, and a burn can happen quickly. Sunday probably won't be quite as sunny, but there may only be just a shower by then. - Tom Clark
