Christopher Powell said. He estimated the trial will last about 2½ weeks. Munchak, 64, of Scranton, and Cordaro, 50, of Dunmore, were originally indicted by a grand jury on March 16, 2010, on 40 counts, including racketeering, money laundering, bribery, extortion and tax evasion. Prosecutors later modified the indictment, which now contains 41 counts. The government alleges that from 2003 to 2007, Munchak and Cordaro, who was voted out of office in 2007, abused their positions of majority commissioners by accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash and gifts from eight companies and other individuals, who have not yet been identified by prosecutors.

LOS ANGELES — Young XMen don’t have the same box-office superpowers as their older selves. “X-Men: First Class” had a solid No. 1 opening with a $56 million weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. But the 20th Century Fox prequel chronicling the formative years of the comic-book mutants found smaller audiences than the franchise’s first four big-screen adventures, which featured older versions of the XMen. Debut weekends for the last three “X-Men” flicks ranged from $85.1 million to $102.8 million. The original “X-Men” opened 11 years ago with $54.5 million, but that would amount to about $80 million today ad-

justing for ticket-price inflation. Fox distribution executive Chris Aronson said the studio achieved its goal of opening the prequel at about the same revenue numbers as the original “XMen.” The prequel presents a rising cast of new talent rather than the established stars of the franchise’s previous chapters. “X-Men: First Class” features James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender as Marvel Comics mutants Professor X and Magneto, roles originated by Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen in the characters’ older years. The prequel follows their first meeting, early alliance and eventual falling out as they take opposite approaches in their dealings with ordinary humans fearful of the superpowered mutants.

TUNKHANNOCK -- The Skyhaven Airport’s bi-annual Fly-In Breakfast and Craft Show on Sunday offered visitors entertainment in the air and on the ground in an event that raises funds for the local facility. The $7 all-you-can-eat breakfast served in the airport’s main hanger featured pancakes and eggs with a variety of breakfast meats and drinks, while a live bluegrass band entertained flight enthusiasts. The event, which is sponsored by the Skyhaven Pilot’s Association, also had stands with ven-

cluding some homemade and antique crafts as well as skydiving planes. There were even miniature remote-control planes that buzzed in the distance as they took off and landed. One of the favorite features for the more adventurous participants was the scenic aerial tours of the area. For a small fee, visitors could take a 20-minute plane ride over the immediate area. Because the event brings in hundreds of people throughout the day, the tours are cut relatively short. However, according to airport operations manager Charlie Gay, longer tours are available as long as the weather permits.

Also, $190 bought any thrill seeker the opportunity to go skydiving with the Endless Mountain Skydiving Club. It is unclear as to whether any amateurs took advantage of this offer, but that didn’t stop the Endless Mountain Skydiving Club, which put on a skydiving demonstration as the afternoon wound down. The event even offered something for those not fascinated with the friendly skies. Emergency vehicles, farm equipment, motorcycles and antique cars were also on display. All proceeds generated from the event will benefit ongoing airport improvement projects at the local airport in Wyoming County.

Edwardsville’s Main Street getting facelift Work includes demolition of blighted properties and major resurfacing project. By STEVEN FONDO Times Leader Correspondent

EDWARDSVILLE – Main Street is undergoing a major facelift, thanks to a $2 million revitalization project in an effort to attract new business to the community. The revitalization is a joint effort by Edwardsville and Kingston and is in the first stage of a multiphase master plan that features demolition of blighted properties along the street, a

major resurfacing project by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and construction of a lighted parking area. According to borough officials, the $2 million comes from $1.5 million in Community Development grants and $500,000 in state gaming revenue. “We actually began planning this joint project in 2008,” said Edwardsville Borough Council President Dave Stochla. “And we’ve made slow but steady progress toward our goal.” Kingston Councilwoman Nancy Cooper said, “We recently completed the demolition of three buildings on our side of the street where we plan to con-

struct a landscaped parking area. In the future, we hope to attract a new building of professional office suites to the location.” To date, six derelict properties have been razed along Main Street, with another six buildings slated for demolition in the near future. “We’re ridding the town of blighted properties first,” said Edwardsville Councilman Gary Mack. “Hopefully, this will create positive foot traffic on Main Street.

Event at W-B Geisinger clinic benefits Janet Weis Children’s Hospital pediatrics services. By JOSEPH DOLINSKY Times Leader Correspondent

WILKES-BARRE -- On most weekends, one might not take a second glance driving past the parking lot of the Geisinger-Kistler Clinic in Wilkes-Barre. On this particular weekend, however, the typical sedans and sport compacts were replaced by grills, games and classic sport, vintage and muscle cars. The Cruise’N for the Kids Car Show on site was just one of many attractions organized by Geisinger to help raise money for the Janet Weis Children’s Hospital pediatrics services as part of the Children’s Miracle Network celebration weekend. The funds raised will help to provide pediatric equipment, programs and services at Janet Weis Children’s Hospital and throughout Geisinger Health System. Sunday’s event featured enough food, games and prizes to keep attendees busy all afternoon. Visitors were able to take chances on gift baskets whose themes included a money tree, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees gear, family board games, gas cards and -- just in time for the warm weather -- summer barbecue equipment. Also, a guitar autographed by local band Breaking Benjamin and other musicians was raffled off. Children’s games included fishing, a beanbag toss, and tic-tactoe.

The smell surfaces every so often: a reminder of the horrors that unfolded here in November 2009, when police began pulling the remains of 11 women from the depths of this rundown white duplex on an impoverished Cleveland street. “Every once in a while you can hear people saying ... ‘What’s that smell?’ ” said Tracy Chapman, who lives across the street. The murder trial continues today for Anthony Sowell, 51, a convicted sex offender and ex-Marine charged with killing the wom-

en and hiding their remains in his home and backyard. The trial, expected to last several weeks, will force Cleveland residents to revisit a dark chapter in the city’s history that most people would rather forget. Prosecutors say Sowell, who has pleaded Tracy Chapman not guilty, lured women Neighbor from the neighborhood into his home with the promise of alcohol or drugs, then killed them. In a surprise secret meeting Friday, prospective jurors were introduced to Sowell behind closed doors while reporters covering

the case waited on another floor for trial credentials. Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Dick Ambrose had previously said jury selection would begin today in his courtroom. The discovery of the bodies ignited an uproar that has yet to subside, with most of the anger directed at the city’s police department. Some of the victims’ families allege the police never bothered to look for their loved ones because they were addicted to drugs and lived in a dangerous part of town, near Sowell’s home. All of the victims were black. Most were strangled with household objects. Residents of Mount Pleasant, Sowell’s poor neighborhood, had complained about a rotting smell for months, but they say their complaints went unheeded.

Flooding forces evacuations

ix hundred residents in southwest Iowa were ordered Sunday to evacS uate their homes after the Missouri

River breached a levee across the border in Missouri. The evacuation covers nearly half of the town of Hamburg, said Stefanie Bond, spokeswoman for the Iowa Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. Residents, most of them on the south side of the city of 1,141, are being told to get out within 24 hours. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reported a levee was breached Sunday morning south of Hamburg in Missouri’s Atchison County. The corps’ Col. Robert Ruch said crews had been working Saturday on another issue near the breach and all workers were evacuated. The corps declined to release further details.

Iran captive’s B-day marked

Friends and colleagues of Josh Fattal gathered Saturday in Oregon to celebrate his 29th birthday — and mark his second one in prison in Iran. He is one of two young American hikers Iran has been holding since July 2009 on espionage charges. Before he went hiking near the IraqIran border, Josh Fattal worked three years on sustainable farming practices at the Aprovecho Research Center in Cottage Grove, south of Eugene. The other hiker is Shane Bauer. On May 11, they were due in court, an appearance that was canceled without explanation. Last year, Bauer’s fiancee, Sarah Shourd, was released. SANAA, YEMEN

Leader’s exit creates glee

The departure of Yemen’s battlewounded president for treatment in Saudi Arabia set off wild street celebrations Sunday in the capital, where crowds danced, sang and slaughtered cows in hopes this spelled a victorious end to a more than three-month campaign to push their leader from power. Behind the festive mood, many feared Ali Abdullah Saleh, a political survivor who has held power for nearly 33 years, will yet return — or leave the country in ruins if he can’t. Hanging in the balance was a country that even before the latest tumult was beset by deep poverty, malnutrition, tribal conflict and violence by an active al-Qaida franchise with international reach. Saleh, who was taken overnight to a military hospital in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, underwent successful surgery on his chest to remove jagged pieces of wood that splintered from a mosque pulpit when his compound was hit by rockets on Friday, said medical officials and a Yemeni diplomat.

Fire causes displacements

New evacuations have been ordered for communities along Arizona’s eastern edge as a huge wildfire creeps toward more homes. The Apache County sheriff’s office ordered an unknown number of residents along Highway 180 east of Alpine to evacuate their homes Sunday afternoon. The area is very close the border with New Mexico. Alpine has been under mandatory evacuation orders since Thursday night. Fire spokesman Eric Neitzel says the fire is not moving fast but has gotten close enough to the subdivisions to require residents to get out.

MAJDAL SHAMS, Golan Heights — Israeli troops on Sunday battled hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters who tried to burst across Syria’s frontier with the Golan Heights, killing a reported 20 people and wounding scores more in the second outbreak of deadly violence in the border area in less than a month.

By evening, the crowd had swelled to more than 1,000 people, who milled about, prayed and chanted slogans in an uneasy standoff with Israeli troops in the distance. The army bolstered its positions, posting a dozen armored vehicles and jeeps along the border road. As the standoff stretched into the evening, Israeli forces fired heavy barrages of tear gas to break up the crowds.

German sprouts tied to E. coli Pa. auditor general: Gov. is right to save surplus

By KIRSTEN GRIESHABER and TOMISLAV SKARO Associated Press

HAMBURG, Germany — The terrifying E. coli outbreak in Europe appears to have been caused by vegetable sprouts grown on an organic farm in Germany, an agriculture official Sunday as the toll climbed to at least 22 dead and more than 2,200 sickened. Preliminary tests found that bean sprouts and other sprout varieties from the farm in the Uelzen area, between the northern cities of Hamburg and Hannover, could be traced to infections in five German states, Lower Saxony Agriculture Minister Gert Lindemann said. “There were more and more indications in the last few hours that put the focus on this farm,” Lindemann said. Many restaurants involved in what is now the deadliest known E. coli outbreak in modern history had received deliveries of the sprouts, which are often used in sal-

ads, Lindemann spokesman Gert Hahne told The Associated Press. Definitive test results should be available today, Lindemann said. In recent days, as health officials tried to pinpoint the source of the unusually lethal outbreak, suspicion fell on lettuce, cucumbers and tomatoes, perhaps from Spain.

Spanish farmers complained that the accusations were having a devastating financial effect. “First it’s the ‘evil’ Spaniards, and then you hear, very surprised, that it is our neighbor,” said Dietrich Benni, who lives near the German farm. “It’s a bit scary all of this, especially that it is coming from an organic place.”

HARRSIBURG — Pennsylvania’s auditor general said Gov. Tom Corbett was right to save unexpected revenue flowing into state coffers rather than using it to ease painful cuts proposed in next year’s budget. Auditor General Jack Wagner broke with fellow Democrats last week in saying it was more prudent to put the half-billion dollars into reserve given the many fiscal uncertainties facing the state, including upcoming labor talks with state workers and skyrocketing public employee pension fund payments. “I think Gov. Corbett is right to say that the majority of the surplus needs to be kept in reserve for the unknowns going forward,” Wagner told reporters Thursday. The commonwealth took in more revenue in April and May

than anticipated, leaving state government with a surplus of almost $540 million as the fiscal year heads to a close at the end of the month. The windfall has prompted some lawmakers from both parties to call for tapping it to ease the governor’s proposed cuts in such areas as funding for state-supported universities and public schools. Wagner, however, said he wouldn’t call the extra money “a surplus” given the projected multibillion-dollar deficit next year. “I think it’s very important that the governor and General Assembly keep their eye on the ball and realize that the liabilities this commonwealth is facing dwarf any surplus,” he said. House Democrats who have criticized the GOP governor for going ahead with cuts were unmoved by Wagner’s comments. “The people of Pennsylvania are being deeply hurt by the cuts Gov. Corbett is proposing,” Bill Patton, spokesman for House Minority Leader Frank Dermody, D-Allegheny, said.

tee, I will continue the fight to meet the needs of our most vulnerable citizens,” Yudichak said. Mike Race, spokesman for the state Department of Public Welfare, said the governor is faced with closing a $4 billion budget shortfall. He said that’s why nonmandatory programs such as HSDF were cut. “The reality is that we just don’t have the money to fund these programs,” Race said. “We realize these are needed programs, but the state just doesn’t have the money.” Governor’s position Race said the governor is steadfast on keeping spending at $27.3 billion with no tax increases when the new state fiscal year begins in July. If the Senate approves the House measure, counties will receive an allocation of HSDF dollars. It would then be up to the county to disburse the funds to agencies. “If we receive the funding, we will then sit down with all the players – the people that represent the agencies we have provided funding for – and determine where the critical needs are,” said Luzerne County Commissioner Chairwoman Maryanne Petrilla. “We would have to determine which agencies reach the most people.” Wolownik said the agency’s funding comes from two sources, both of which cover the family advocacy/case management program: Luzerne County Children & Youth Services and the HSDF, which is funneled through the Luzerne County Office of Human Services. “The governor originally ‘zeroed out’ HSDF in his initial budget proposal a few months ago,” Wolownik said. “The recipients of HSDF have mobilized countyand state-wide, and the legislators have responded by reinstating HSDF, but at a lower amount. Therein lies the problem: HSDF has been cut (lowered) every year for the last four to five years.” Wolownik said REACH received about $18,500 from HSDF last year. Shep Pawling, chairman of the REACH board of directors, said the agency operates on a $100,000 budget. He said $55,000 comes from county and state funding and about $15,000 is raised in the community. He said the balance – about $30,000 – has been obtained

Stefanie Wolownik, director of REACH in Wilkes-Barre, said REACH will lose its $18,500 allocation of state funds, causing the homeless services to cease.

REACH SERVICE S TAT I S T I C S • 651 intakes (documentation) on homeless people since July 2007, including those in shelters, on the streets and “couch-surfing” • 9,100 visits by more than 200 homeless men and women over the last 12 months • Food and clothing provided for more than 3,600 households • 109 people helped to gain permanent housing (that are known) • 30 breakfasts served daily; 7,530 annually • 30 showers provided daily; 7,530 annually • 10 hours weekly provided inhouse by outside services (drug & alcohol, mental health, employment search); veterans services as needed • 8 people provided daily with information, referral and case management services; this includes filling out applications for housing, employment, food stamps, disability, health care, birth certificates, Social Security cards, photo identification, interventions and referrals to social services

REACH FUNDING • State and county funds: $55,000 per year • $15,000 in donations • $30,000 received through a bank line of credit and from St. Stephen’s Church

through a line of credit with a local bank and also through St. Stephen’s Church. Pawling said the bank and the church must be re-paid and the board couldn’t continue to incur debt – hence the decision to shut down the homeless services. “We’re the only ones that have been providing these services for

the last eight or nine years,” Pawling said. “We stepped up because it was the right thing to do. We just can’t afford it anymore.” Pawling said the other services will continue, especially keeping families out of the foster care system – a mission that Pawling said has saved hundreds of thousands of dollars. Wolownik said REACH operates a job-training site for the Area Agency on Aging, with four “mature workers,” a job-training site for EDSI (the former Workforce Investment Agency) and the Commission on Economic Opportunity’s Supportive Work Program and a site for Luzerne County Court Advocate’s Community Service Program. Declining donations Wolownik said donations have declined during the past nine years. “We have never received money specifically for the homeless day program. However, we were able to utilize donations from our annual campaign and fundraisers to run it,” she said. “But we have been ‘bleeding from the head’ the past three years, operating at a deficit and just cannot sustain it any longer.” A letter was sent out on May 2 to local elected officials, church leaders, businesses, educational facilities, media outlets and others notifying all of the decision to close the homeless program at REACH. Pawling said the board of directors was hoping for somebody to offer help. None came, so Pawling said the “drop-in center” for homeless men and women will close. Wolownik said that starting in

July, REACH will no longer have any homeless services: showers, mail, telephone, case management, referral, etc. She said the family advocacy/case management program, the food pantry and clothes closet will continue. Reduced services “The homeless will be welcome once per month like everyone else, but that will be the extent of it,” she said, noting REACH currently serves more than 40 homeless people a day. State Rep. Karen Boback, RHarveys Lake, said the House Republican Caucus recently introduced an alternative budget that restored $19.9 million – or 85 percent – to the HSDF. “My heart goes out to the people served by the Wilkes-Barre REACH program, and I am hopeful services will continue uninterrupted,” Boback said. State Rep. Mike Carroll, DAvoca, said the state has received $540 million more in revenues over what was projected in the budget. As a result, Carroll said he continues to advocate for a prudent use of those revenues by restoring some cuts to vital state programs while saving a portion to meet looming expenses that are on the horizon. “To be specific, the additional state revenues provide lawmakers with an opportunity to restore funding to programs like the Human Services Development Fund which meet a vital role in communities across Pennsylvania including financial assistance to programs that assist the homeless,” Carroll said. “These restorations can be made while saving a portion of the revenues for future obligations.”

Taxing power could be trimmed for Pa. schools Corbett wants to repeal 10 exceptions districts use to avoid tax referendums. By MARK SCOLFORO Associated Press

HARRISBURG — Five years ago, the state Legislature and Gov. Ed Rendell struck a deal to give voters the right to veto or approve school property tax increases above the rate of inflation. Few of those referendums have actually been held, but

Rendell’s successor and some state lawmakers want to give it another try by repealing the 10 exceptions that school districts have used to avoid the votes. Various proposals are floating around the Legislature, and Republican Gov. Tom Corbett is a strong proponent. Corbett’s education secretary, Ron Tomalis, has little sympathy for those who worry about the effect of restricting school boards’ financial flexibility at a time when state education support for K-12 education is likely to drop dramatically.

Thomas Cook Jr. June 4, 2011 J. Cook Jr., 54, of Exeter, T homas passed away Saturday, June 4,

2011. Born November 13, 1956, in Wilkes-Barre, he was a son of the late Thomas J. Sr., and Fanny Harrison Cook. Thomas was employed by Letica Corp., Pittston. He was an amazing man who loved his family and was loved by everyone who knew him. Thomas was a jack of all trades and enjoyed watching his nephew race. He is survived by his wife of 25 wonderful years, Barbara Teal Cook; children, Jason and his wife, Nicole, Wilkes-Barre; Thomas J. III and his wife, Victoria, Nanticoke; Ashley, Exeter; and Kevin and his fiancée, Kelly, Exeter; six beautiful granddaughters; sisters, Judith Cocco, Florence Mancini and Catherine Hughes; and brothers, Raymond Cook and Steven Cook. More Obituaries, Page 5A

Funeral will be held at 2 p.m. Wednesday from the Anthony Recupero Funeral Home, 406 Susquehanna Ave., West Pittston, with services conducted by Pastor Jeff Klansek. Friends may call from 5 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, at the funeral home. In lieu of flowers, family requests donations be made to the Shriner’s Children’s Hospital.

“I’m not surprised some folks are saying the timing is bad, but those are folks who would say the timing is bad regardless of the amount of money that is flowing into the system,” Tomalis said late last week. Corbett wants to link removal of the exceptions to passage of the 2011-12 state budget, which is due June 30. The Taxpayer Relief Act of 2006, as it was called, included the tax-increase referendum as part of a wider bill that applied slot machine gambling revenue to reduce school property and local wage taxes. Each year the Education Department calculates a statewide “education index,” generally slightly above the prior year’s rate of inflation, with poorer districts qualifying for an even higher rate. If a school board wants to increase taxes above their number, they have to get voter approval, but there have only been 14 such votes in the past five years — in a state with 500 school districts. Thirteen times they were rejected, and in five of the votes more than 80 percent were “no” ballots. The Pennsylvania Association of School Business Officials told a legislative committee last month that referendums on tax increases are largely exercises in futility and warned that eliminating the exceptions would create chaos in the school budget system. The result could be bond defaults, “acute financial distress” for perhaps dozens of districts, a halt in school construction and pension defaults, the associ-

ation warned. “What happens if voters say ‘no’ to increasing property taxes for pension payments or special education expenditures?” asked PASBO executive director Jay Himes. “A ‘no’ vote doesn’t give schools a pass on legally or contractually obligated expenses; it is a no-win position.” During the current school year, 133 districts requested exceptions, and 84 of them actually used one, according to the state school boards’ association. Pensions and special education are the most commonly sought exceptions, by far. Rep. Seth Grove, sponsor of an exception repeal bill, said his constituents have complained they find their taxes going up without hearing a clear justification. He predicts more referendums will spur administrators and boards to improve their communications with the public. “What residents see are property tax increase after property tax increase without any explanation of who, what, when, where, how,” said Grove, R-York. Dave Davare, director of research services for the Pennsylvania School Boards Association, said boards are usually reluctant to raise taxes. He argues they have become the focus of the debate because schools get about 70 percent of property taxes, with counties and local municipalities splitting the rest.

The proposal consists of modifications to the Authority’s existing wastewater treatment facility to provide for biological and chemical nutrient removal consisting of the following: conversion of the four existing contact/stabilization tanks to the IFAS process, addition of two new IFAS processing tanks, addition of two new settling tanks, new aeration system, addition of a gravity belt sludge thickener, addition of a second belt filter press, a lime food system for sludge stabilization, an alum feed system, and electrical and HVAC upgrades. If implemented, the proposed projects may affect floodplains. The alternatives considered include: a “No Action” approach; however, this approach will not meet the DEP mandate for Chesapeake Bay discharge requirements. Another approach would be to purchase Nutrient Credits but this approach will be expensive now and it is unknown as to what future costs will be. The purpose of this notice is to inform the public of this proposed conversion and request comments concerning the proposal, alternative sites, or action that would avoid these impacts, and methods that could be used to minimize these impacts. The applicant will comply with the following mitigation measures: 1) No fill will be placed in floodplains and wetlands. The additions to the Sewage Treatment Plant will be flood protected. 2) Should the scope of the project be amended to include additional ground disturbing activity, the State Historic Preservation Office and Rural Development will be contacted immediately. 3) The construction contractors will be required to comply with standard protective measures required by the Bureau of Forestry (DCNR) which will be included in the construction documents.

chaos, and the Civil War was not quite over yet.” Surratt was not the only defendant at the center of a controversy. One of the men, Dr. Samuel Mudd, a Maryland physician, had given medical treatment to Booth for the broken leg he’d suffered during the escape and protested that he too was not involved with the conspiracy. The commission rejected his defense as well. In the end, all eight were found guilty of at least some of the charges. Four, including Mary Surratt, were sentenced to be hanged. Three, including Dr. Mudd, received life imprisonment at hard labor. The eighth received a six-year term. The hangings were carried out at Washington’s Old Arsenal Prison on July 7. Photographs show every step of the procedure, including the bodies dangling from ropes. Those photos, taken in 3-D style, were popular in stereopticon home viewers for generations afterward. The trial is just one of a series of Lindhill Institute productions marking the 150th anniversary of the Civil War (1861-1865). In April, Walters’ re-enactors staged a ceremonial cannon firing on the campus of Wyoming Seminary in Kingston to note the opening battle of the war – the Confederate shelling of Fort Sumter, S.C. Among other participants in the Gettysburg production are Hugh Taylor and David Callahan, both of Mountain Top. Walters says he has spared no effort to make the event seem as authentic as possible. “We will even have period reporters shouting out questions. It’s going to be a spectacle.” Boyson, a historian like Walters, says he has a strong personal purpose for getting involved in historic re-creation. “It does a whole lot to keep history alive. You go around and you find that people don’t even know who Mary Surratt was. Many people are not even aware of the conspiracy and how this was just one of a series of plots.”

WORLD OPINION

Obama’s Mideast views display his ignorance

HILE THE G8 summiteers in France were discussing the Arab spring pro-democracy uprisings, it was good seeing U.S. President Barack Obama getting a dressing down from the Canadian prime minister for his misguided views on Israel. The president’s ignorance of both the history and the fluidity of the Middle East situation when it comes to Israel and Palestine is quite remarkable. Shocking, in fact. Thankfully there was at least one G8 leader – Prime Minister Stephen Harper – who made a public point of reiterating to Obama what Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told him – that Israel would not only be vulnerable but undefendable if it returned to the borders occupied prior to 1967’s Six Day War. From a strategic defense view, those pre-1967 borders demanded by Obama would leave Israel only nine kilome-

ters wide at its narrowest point, and put thousands of Jews in the suburbs of the Israeli capital of Jerusalem on the outside looking in. One thing, however, is certain. If Obama sticks to those naïve guns, he either has no real grasp of Mideast history or geography, or he is being advised by idiots. Harper was much more diplomatic, of course, saying Obama’s overview on Israel was “balanced” when taken in full context – it wasn’t – but he was blunt in restating Canada’s unwavering support for Israel, and dismissed other leaders, such as French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who believe the terrorist group Hamas could be negotiated out of Palestine. This is both idiotic and unrealistic. Peace in the Middle East depends on Israel being secure. If it doesn’t feel secure, Palestine is not going to happen. Nor should it. Toronto Sun

QUOTE OF THE DAY “For those who … can’t imagine what a better tomorrow would look like, I want to assure that we are working to get to that better tomorrow.” Deval Patrick The Massachusetts governor said at least 19 communities reported damage after three tornadoes last week flattened more than 200 homes, killed at least three people and scattered debris across the state.

No winning this war

SINGLE DEATH is a tragedy; a million deaths a statistic, argued the late Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin. For the United States and its NATO allies, the killing of 52 Afghan civilians, at least 12 of them young children and two women, May 28 in another airstrike is merely another statistic in the “war on terror.” And if the killing drew protests and “warnings” by President Karzai, they were predictably followed by “sincere apologies” by the coalition. We have been here before, of course. The farce goes on – until there is another airstrike killing more innocent people. The truth is, the world has

grown weary of this decadelong war and doesn’t really care whether it’s Taliban insurgents or innocent civilians who are wiped out by the indiscriminate U.S.-NATO bombings. What’s going on in Afghanistan is resistance against occupation. The Afghans will fight for a thousand years without worrying about consequences. This is a game that no one, including the Russians and British, has won in Afghanistan. The United States must learn from history. It’s in its own interest to end this conflict and leave while it can – with dignity. Dialogue is the only way out. Arab News Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Yemen teeters on brink

SAMA BIN LADEN may be dead, but the movement that he inspired is still capable of flourishing in failing states. The seizure of the Yemeni coastal town of Zinjibar by armed men who are thought to include members of al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula comes after months of demonstrations against President Ali Abdullah Saleh. These have pitted the president’s praetorian guard against young street pro-

testers and militias loyal to Sadiq al-Ahmar, leader of the largest tribal confederation, the Hashed. Intense fighting in the capital, Sana’a, has pushed Yemen to the brink of civil war. There is little that outsiders can do to manipulate Yemen’s complex internal power structures. But the threat that its chronic instability poses to Saudi Arabia, the largest oil producer, and the wider world is all too clear. The Telegraph, London

With training, students can excel beyond college walls EDUCATION reformers are right to promote college as a logical extension of high school, but they – we – should beware of getting boxed in a corner. Simplistic reading of policy rhetoric about college readiness has inspired a backlash. Some point out that not everyone wants to go to college. True. Others hint darkly that not every student is college material. Not so true. Unless there are serious cognitive and developmental challenges, why not? But the point that college isn’t for everyone is well taken. A thoughtful bridge between the college yes and college no crowd comes from the Pathways to Prosperity Project at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Education. Two researchers from Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology were in Seattle recently to talk about the unintended consequences of the “college for all” push. I buy much of what they’re saying. The college emphasis in high school led to a decline in career-related learning. A stubborn dropout rate only exacerbates the problem because it means students are leaving school without career plans, or worse, marketable job skills. With all the news media fascination on young people returning from college to sleep on Mom and Dad’s couch, a sizable population is unable to leave their parents’ houses in the first place. We ignore them at our economic peril. Non-college-degree holders outnumber those with associate and bachelor’s degrees. That’s despite the widely used statistic that nearly

Moreover, Harvard researchers found that despite the emphasis on college, this country is not producing enough college graduates. Yes, we should redouble efforts. Simultaneously, we need a contingency plan outside of college. Here it is: Broaden “college for all” to include meaningful post-high-school credentials. This is not an alternative route for kids who couldn’t pass science or math. Needed are high-quality career and vocational education programs. Employment among young people hovers at post-World War II lows – if you think we’re in a recession, young people see a depression. Postsecondary education is the new passport in a globally competitive economy. It can be in the form of college, apprenticeships or career certification. At the same time, the number of degree holders will rise. Cutting-edge efforts and technology have brought us worthy options such as Western Governors University, a fully accredited online four-year institution. There also must be efforts to ensure many of the new degrees and certifications are in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics educational tent known as STEM. We need to train the next Boeing machinist and the next technology innovator. There is a proper nexus between collegeprep and quality vocational education. Learning can’t be divorced from the real world.

Educational efforts at the Northwest Association for Biomedical Research offer guidance. The nonprofit educational organization is pairing a program from the National Science Foundation – Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers – and money from the H1B Visa program to fuel highschool science programs. Many scientists working in the United States are on H1 Visas, so it makes sense to use the proceeds of that program to develop American scientists. The biomedical research team is piloting a program this summer exposing high school students to an emerging field centered on biology and information technology. The educational technology maker DigiPen is offering gaming expertise to help students design biotechnology tools – from computer interfaces to ways to store and understand millions of DNA bases. At the mention of computer gaming, they’ll have many students. A career technology education credit offers another strong incentive. I’m heartened that the effort is about more than presenting the sciences as career choices, but also as basic knowledge for a generation that might in a decade be able to download genomes on their iPhones.

Writer encourages Blaum to apply for manager job

COMMENTARY

Postsecondary education is the new passport in a globally competitive economy. It can be in the form of college, apprenticeships or career certification.

s a candidate for the new Luzerne County Council, I appeared before The Times Leader endorsement board to present my qualifications and take questions. When I said that I did not embrace a national search for the new county manager position, board members apparently were dismayed. Though I want to end political patronage more than anyone, I recalled the many expensive searches that were conducted to find a president for Luzerne County Community College. Though excellent people were retained, they always moved on, using the position as a stepping stone for their careers. Though the new manager would likely have to sign a contract, I said that unless we get someone with a good “cultural fit,” he or she might not last more than one term (four years).

In an article generated from that endorsement board meeting titled “Fiorucci promises to inform the public” (April 24), I said I would support a statewide search if not enough qualified applicants were found countywide. Because of our new experiment in democracy, I thought it would take time for “outsiders” to learn how to lead and make recommendations for improvements, such as a new technology system. And secretly, I had a special candidate in

mind all along: former state Rep. Kevin Blaum, The Times Leader’s own columnist. Who better to help navigate stormy waters than an old hand? He knows the vast state legislative system and has excelled at local economic development. He even helped get the arena built. Now, some people might snarl: not another politician in the courthouse! Well, politics can never be taken out of government. I don’t think he, or anyone, will be inclined to add buddies to the payroll. Too much has been done to promise a merit system to help the public rebuild its confidence in government. So, if Mr. Blaum does not feel like coming out of semi-retirement to vie for the new manager position, there are many others like him who might be able to step up to the plate.

ing items longer during tough times,” Balara said. Low donations could also be due to the unfavorable spring weather, said Bill Jones, vice president and chief operating officer of Volunteers of America. “It was cold and rainy, then all of a sudden hot,” he said. “People have not had a chance to clean out their closets yet.” Collection boxes from various organizations that are found all over the area in parking lots and at service stations are another factor. “Donation boxes are everywhere,” he said. “You should know who you are donating to.

Some of these companies may or may not be nonprofit.” The spotty economy has increased the need for low-priced clothing and household items, said Jones. Volunteers of America Thrift Store opened its Wilkes-Barre store three years ago, just at the beginning of the economy’s downturn. Sales have been steadily increasing to about 14 percent. Whether that is due to the economy or the new store is unclear, Jones said. “People are still coming in to experience us for the first time,” he said. “We are not open long enough to determine the effects of the economy on sales.” Goodwill Industries Store in Edwardsville has been open for a year and a half, but in that time,

According to Luzerne County Election Bureau Director Leonard Piazza, Democrats hold a significantedgeinregistration–approximately 101,000 registered Democrats to 66,000 Republican. Tom Baldino, political science professor at Wilkes University, said dual nominees have an advantage, but not an overwhelming one. “The general election’s dynamics will be different from the primary because independent voters and minor-party supporters were excluded from voting in the primary,” Baldino said. “And considering how many more voters are registered Democratic in the county rather than Republican, those candidates perceived as having stronger affinity to the Democratic Party’s positions are likely to benefit from Democratic Party support and straight-ticket voting in November.” That would give Mirabito an advantage over Hughes if the sixth

The promotion requires him to serve in more than one role, said his predecessor, the Most Rev. Anthony A. Mikovsky, who was elevated to Prime Bishop of the church. He must be a teacher, ensuring what is taught is in accordance with the faith, and he must be keeper of the faith, Mikovsky noted. “Above all of these, the bishop is to be a shepherd,” said Mikovsky, pointing out the symbolism of the wooden staff carried by Mack as leader of the flock.

to being cross-listed in a general election because it allows candidates the opportunity to collect straight-party votes. He said being on both tickets doesn’t guarantee victory, but it certainly boosts the chances of winning. “In the Luzerne County case, it would be a surprise to see both Mirabito and Hughes win given the distinct advantage the other five candidates will get from being on both tickets,” Borick said. “It will take some substantial flaws on the part of one of the cross-listed candidates and/or some outstanding campaigns on the part of Mirabito and Hughes to get both of them elected.” No ‘sure things’ Susan Kolesar has run several local campaigns. She is supporting Gelb in the judicial race. Kolesar said there are no “sure things” in Luzerne County politics. “With over 72,000 votes cast in

Mitchell calls the race for the sixth seat a toss-up. “Mirabito will have the party registration and gender edge, while Hughes should raise and spend more money and have a ballot position advantage,” Mitchell said. Hughes will have the number one spot on the ballot because he received the most Republican votes in the primary. It matters only because the sitting governor – Tom Corbett – is also a Republican.

What would normally be the entrance to the clinic was instead a grilling range. Geisinger volunteers whipped up hot dogs, hamburgers, pork barbecue and sausageand-pepper sandwiches. The event is in its fifth year, and public relations representative Therese Pramick stressed the importance of such events. “It’s important because it raises both money and awareness for children’s pediatrics services at Geisinger,” she said. “The money raised for this event goes towards equipment for sick kids,” equipment that normally might not be in the budget.

The duo is also accused of accepting money from at least one person who later secured a job within county government. In some cases, the firms paid the money to curry favor with the powerful political leaders in hopes of winning contracts. Others were extorted into paying under the threat that payments for work performed would be delayed, prosecutors say. The indictment provided little detail regarding most of the projects. The most information was listed for the intermodal and cell tower projects. According to the indictment, Cordaro used his influence to get officials with the county’s transportation system to terminate the contract of a company in favor

Plans to build electric cars in Pa. stall By MARK NIESSE Associated Press

HONOLULU — Korean electric car company CT&T made a splash in three states when it rolled shiny, tiny vehicles off big rigs and announced with smiling governors that it would hire hundreds of Americans to build them in new factories. But those plans have stalled in Hawaii, Pennsylvania and South Carolina without anyone hired, any plants constructed or any electric cars assembled.

Regarding the cell tower, the indictment alleged Cordaro accepted $14,000 from the contractors as his share of the profit from the project. Munchak and Cordaro have each adamantly denied any wrongdoing. Defense attorneys have not said what their strategy will be in challenging the charges. But comments Cordaro previously made indicate he intends to attack the credibility of the prosecution’s witnesses. In an interview the day after he was indicted, Cordaro said he is confident jurors will view the government’s case with skepticism. “They’re going to be tough on the government witnesses who have been promised things, who have changed their stories to get themselves out of trouble and who have been given things in return for their testimony,” Cordaro said. Prosecutors have not publicly released their witness list, but a court document filed Friday revealed that Charles Costanzo,

Caputo on Friday issued an order directing federal marshals to transport Costanzo to the courthouse from the Federal Correctional Institution at Schuylkill, where he is serving a 70-month prison sentence. The original in-

dictment filed against Munchak and Cordaro alleged Costanzo had paid kickbacks to Cordaro. Powell said Friday he does not believe Costanzo’s thefts will be relevant in the Cordaro/Munchak trial. He said he does expect the government will allege Costanzo used some of the money he pilfered to provide gifts to Cordaro and Munchak.

Mikovsky imparted some advice, acknowledging Mack had heard it before, “My brother John, I tell you something you already know, love your people.” And to the people, Mikovsky said, “Pray for your bishop.” Mack has made a good impression on Barbara Placek of Harding. “I think he’s going to be good. He brings a refreshing essence to the church,” she said. “He’s musically oriented,” she added. Mack started taking piano lessons when he was 8 from his great aunt Laura Jaworowski of Clifton, N.J., when she spent summers with his family, according to a church biography of the new bishop.

Wade, James put Heat back in control Miami puts Game 2 collapse in past to move within two victories of championship.

DALLAS — The Miami Heat didn’t blow this one. Now they’re just two wins from being crowned NBA champions. Chris Bosh made a 16-foot, goahead jumper from the baseline with 39.6 seconds left and the Heat held on for an 88-86 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday night for a 2-1 lead in the NBA finals. Recent history says this is a huge win for the Heat. The Game 3 winner in a tied finals has won the championship all 11 times

OPINION TIM DAHLBERG

Cousins may lose most from play Unfortunately, the odds are Brian Sabean will get his wish. There’s not much room in the big leagues for reserve outfielders hitting .152, especially those with the kind of scars Scott Cousins is doomed to carry the rest of his life. One day he’s toiling away in anonymity, scrapping just to stay with the Florida Marlins. The next he’s the villain in a drama that baseball fans will remind him of every time he’s announced at the plate. His split-second decision to bowl over Buster Posey at the plate cost the San Francisco Giants the talents of their rising young star for at least the rest of the season. Almost lost in the ensuing uproar, though, is that it will likely cost Cousins even more. The death threats he can handle, if only because there’s little chance they are serious. Some recent comments by Sabean were very serious, though, increasing the chances that Cousins will be relegated to the baseball scrapbook only as an obscure footnote — the guy who cost Posey most of a season. “If I never hear from Cousins again, or he doesn’t play another day in the big leagues, I think we’ll all be happy,” the Giants’ general manager said on his weekly radio show. “He chose to be a hero, in my mind. If that’s his flash of fame, that’s as good as it’s going to get, pal. We’ll have a long memory.” It didn’t take the Giants long to issue the obligatory statement of apology, but by then the damage had been done. If Cousins wasn’t already public enemy No. 1 in the Bay Area, Sabean made sure he would be. It’s tough enough for a young player to make it to the big leagues. It may be impossible for Cousins to stay there with the dirty player label Sabean has now stamped on him. All because he was doing something ingrained on him since his days in Little League — find a way, any way, to score. Criticize Cousins all you want for going after Posey and the ball instead of trying to tiptoe around him to the small piece of home plate that may or may not have been open. But the play is as much a part of baseball now as it was when Pete Rose took out Ray Fosse to score the winning run in the 1970 All-Star Game. Every player who has ever donned the tools of ignorance understands there is risk in blocking the plate. They accept it as part of the job, knowing that all the protection they wear may not save them from losing a collision with a runner. Yes, Posey’s injury was horrifying, even sickening. But it doesn’t change that Cousins was playing within the rules of the game on May 25 when he scored the winning run with a jarring hit that broke a bone in Posey’s lower left leg and tore three ligaments in his ankle. Posey was among those who suggested those rules should be changed in the wake of his injury so that catchers would be protected better. Sabean weighed in too, saying that players should be required to slide into home on close plays. Unlike Sabean, though, Posey chose to take the high road when it came to Cousins, saying he didn’t want to vilify the Marlins outfielder. He went further on Saturday, issuing a statement saying that while he appreciated the support of Giants fans “in no See COUSINS, Page 4B

T H I S D A T E I N B A S E B A L L June 6 1918 — Casey Stengel, after being traded by Brooklyn in the offseason, made his return to Ebbets Field a memorable one. In his first at-bat, Stengel called time, stepped out of the batter’s box and doffed his cap. A bird flew out and the fans broke into laughter. 1934 — Myril Hoag hit a major league record six singles in the New York Yankees’ 15-3 rout of the Boston Red Sox. Today’s birthdays: Matt Belisle 31;Jeremy Affeldt 32;Mark Ellis 34.

Relievers save day for Yankees By DAVE ROSENGRANT drosengrant@timesleader.com

MOOSIC – No starter. No problem for Scranton/WilkesBarre. With Sunday’s projected starter Carlos Silva scratched due to shoulder stiffness, the Yankees had to use four relievers. But that didn’t seem to effect the team as the Yankees got strong pitching from the bullpen outing to defeat Toledo 3-2 at PNC Field. Buddy Carlyle got the nod to start for the Yankees and went the first four innings only allowing one run and two hits. Ryan Pope, who earned the win to improve his record to 2-1 this season, pitched two scoreless innings. George Kontos also pitched two innings, allowing one run. And Kevin Whelen pitched a scoreless ninth for his International League-leading 17th save of the season to preserve the victory. “That’s what it’s all about today is the bullpen. All of them did a good job,” SWB manager Dave Miley said. “Buddy set the tone right out of the gate going four innings.” The Mud Hens opened the scoring in the top of the first off Carlyle when the first two batters reached base with Will

Rhymes drawing a walk and Timo Perez driving him in with a double for a 1-0 lead. SWB answered right back in the bottom of the frame getting three hits, including a run-scoring single from Brandon Laird (2-for-3), who has been the hottest hitter for Scranton/WilkesBarre over the last 11 games hitting .409 (18-for-44) to raise his average this season to .276 after a rough start. Laird’s two-out hit evened the score at 1-1. The third baseman also made a stellar back-handed play behind the bag in the fourth inning. “I’m just getting pitches to hit and not trying to do too much,” Laird said. “I’m just trying to get some hits and drive runs in. That’s what I’m in the middle of the lineup to do and I’m just going to try to keep doing it.”

Yankees short stop Ramiro Pena gets a high five from third base coach Frank Menechino after hitting a two-run home run in the bottom of the third inning against Toledo Sunday afternoon.

The Yankees went ahead in the bottom of the third on Ramiro Pena’s fourth home run of the year. The blast over the fence in left field scored Greg Golson to give SWB a 3-1 advantage. “I think if you look at his stats he does little things with the bat and what he did today occasionally he’ll have some power,” Miley noted about Pena. “I think the main thing with Pena is what he brings to our defense is beyond describable.” Toledo threatened in the seventh with a pair of hits against Kontos, but could only get one run across and stranded a runner in scoring position.

win on 15 and putting the match to rest on 17. “We hit the ball well and smooth today,” said Matt Kachurak. “But we knew that anything could happen. After making it past the first match against the team of Mr. Olszewski and Mr. Williams, things just seemed turned in the right direction for us.” “Golf is a game of peaks and valleys,” said Weiscarger. “You hope to make a few but expect to miss a few.” While Matt contributed the win due to consistency in hitting fairways and greens, Dave said it was his son who picked him up with timely shots. “Matt hit a lot of great putts,” said the proud father. “I hit a couple of shots today I hadn’t hit all weekend, but he made the shots and today I was fortunate to make a couple of putts that mattered. It was finally our time.” “The golf today was absolutely great,” said Weiscarger, when asked what he thought about the day’s play. “It was a difficult golf course because it was in great shape.

Thursday night. Bosh, a Dallas native who’d been 0-8 in his hometown, overcame a swollen left eyelid caused by a poke during the first quarter to scored 18 points. He had seven in the fourth quarter. LeBron James added 17 points and nine assists. But he also had four turnovers, including a pair during the fourth quarter that helped bring Dallas back. Mario Chalmers added 12. Udonis Haslem had only six points, but his tough defense on the final two possessions saved the Heat. When Nowitzki’s final shot from the top of the key missed, Haslem swung his arms and screamed in delight. Nowitzki finished with 34 points, but didn’t get much help. Jason Terry scored 15 and Shawn Marion had 10, but both were shut out in the fourth quarter. Wade was at his dynamic best from the start, looking like the guy who soared and scored the Heat past Dallas and to the title in ’06. Most of his baskets came in the paint — where the Heat outscored the Mavs, 40-22 — and many of them were spectacular. But he also stemmed Dallas’ rally by hitting a go-ahead jumper over Jason Kidd for Miami’s second-to-last basket. James came in talking about being more aggressive, but wasn’t. He went more than 6 minutes before taking his first shot, but certainly made it worth the wait — a drive through the teeth of the defense for a powerful dunk. He also had a two-handed jam in the second half that put Miami up by 13. The Heat just couldn’t put the

While Posey was a star almost from the moment he donned a Giants uniform, Cousins is a fringe player just trying to stay in the bigs.

Mavs away. Dallas would surge close or ahead, then Miami would turn it up again. The final 18 minutes played out with both teams realizing any possession could change the game and the series. Nothing came easy for anyone. Shots were contested, bodies collided for every rebound and guys were flying into the stands after loose balls. Fans stood throughout, wearing their blue gimme T-shirts and fired up by videos such as one featuring encouraging words from Roger Staubach, Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, Nolan Ryan and others. Yet it was the visitors from Miami who walked off celebrating.

to ballpark. Sabean didn’t have to make it worse by further inflaming Giants fans. His tough talk about long memories and short careers was pure bush league, directed toward a player who has said repeatedly that no one feels worse about Posey’s injury than he does. In the end, Posey will almost surely recover and go on to have the great career Giants fans expect from him. Whether Cousins will ever recover from his part in the drama is not nearly as certain.

This particular matchup is notable in that both teams are wellacquainted with one another. Where most state playoff games come down to limited, often secondhand scouting reports, the Knights and Ironmen have faced off in exhibition games each of the past two seasons. Danville won both of those games, winning at Lake-Lehman last year and taking a 6-2 win on May 13 of this year in Danville. LeValley has a long relationship with members of the Danville coaching staff, having played with or against them in amateur leagues for many years. And the Knights had a hunch that if they made it through districts, the Ironmen could be waiting for them in the first round of states. Lehman managed to schedule a few District 4 powers in their non-league slate, knowing full well that the D2 champ faces the D4 champ to open the PIAA bracket. In other words, when the teams got together last month, neither was holding back. In District 4, non-league games still count toward a team’s postseason eligibility, ensuring that the Ironmen were going all-out. “And we take it just as seriously,” LeValley said. “We’re not scheduling them just to see a new team – we want to see how we stack up. Use it as measuring stick. “We knew the situation existed where we could see them later on, if we were fortunate enough to win districts. So we play this (exhibition) and asked, ‘What do we need to do to win (in the rematch)?’ ” For one, the potent Lehman offense needs to continue to produce. Though the Knights dominated much of league play with their bats and put up 46 runs in four district playoff games to win the title, they managed just three hits in their trip to Danville.

second district title in team history. The Bulldogs’ last trip to the state tournament came in 2006, when they met another Wyoming Valley Conference squad, defeating Pittston Area in Williamsport. Under first year-coach Matt O’Brien, the Bulldogs enter the state tournament at 13-7, having been one of just two 3A teams to qualify for the district playoffs in District 4, which requires schools to have a winning record to advance to the postseason. Jersey Shore knocked off Selinsgrove 1-0 last week to win the D4-3A title, getting the game’s only run courtesy of a passed ball in the third inning. By contrast, the two-time D2 champion Tigers rolled past West Scranton in their own district championship game, getting a one-hitter from Mike Healey to beat the Invaders 10-0 in six innings. “He’s a bulldog. He’s the ace,” Custer said of Healey, who could get his fourth straight playoff start today. Custer said he would hold off on picking a starter until they had more info on the Bulldogs. The Tigers No. 2 starter from the regular season, Rich Condeelis, has been dinged up since the Tigers’ playoff opener against Crestwood and hasn’t been back on the mound during a game since. Condeelis has spent the last two games as the Tigers’ designated hitter and came out of Thursday’s district finals for a pinch runner midway through the contest. “He’s on the mend,” Custer said. “But he feels much better as we go along. We’re hoping to give him a few more days on it (before having him play the field again).” Today also marks the start of the 2011 MLB draft, which gets underway this evening with the first round . The proceedings continue with rounds 2-30 on Tuesday and rounds 31-50 on Wednesday. A few players with local ties are on the radar, including Tunkhannock’s Mike Papi, who will likely have to decide between going pro or playing for the University of Virginia.

“Judging from the first game, we have to hit the baseball. We have to force them into situations where they have to make plays to beat us,” LeValley said. Both teams have kept an eye on the other’s progress throughout the season, LeValley said, and there have already been several text messages exchanged in anticipation of today’s showdown. By this afternoon, however, the mood figures to be very different. “When we were down there (last month), they treated us to hamburgers and hot dogs,” LeValley said with a laugh. “I have a feeling it won’t be as friendly this time.”

“It’s still up in the air,” Custer said. Opposing teams are certainly aware of Papi’s abilities, pitching around him more often than not. In the district semifinals, Abington Heights held a one-run lead with two outs in the bottom of seventh and elected to walk him to bring the winning run to the plate. Healey responded with a tworun homer to give the Tigers the dramatic victory. In the D2 title game, Papi drew three walks in four plate appearances, knocking in two runs with a double in his other time up. Custer said the special attention hasn’t slowed down his senior shortstop. “He’s handled it all very fluently,” Custer said. “He hasn’t missed a beat all year – it hasn’t seemed to affect him at all.”

Keselowski wins; Junior falls short

Stricker finally gets victory at Memorial

KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Dale Earnhardt Jr. was charging again, hoping that this time he’d come out on top in a frantic late fuel-mileage battle. But leader Brad Keselowski stretched his tank perfectly Sunday to win the Sprint Cup race at Kansas Speedway — and extend Earnhardt’s winless streak to 106 races. Keselowski led the final nine laps for his second Sprint Cup victory in 66 races, and the first for Penske Racing since Kurt Busch last year in the Coca-Cola 600. Keselowski also had a surprise 2009 victory at Talladega in only his fifth career Cup start. “There are some secrets to it and I just maximized them all. I had plenty (of fuel) left,” Keselowski said. Earnhardt appeared set to make a late charge on Keselowski. That push never came — though Earnhardt did move up to third in the standings and is just one point behind Jimmie Johnson. For the second week in a row in a fuel-mileage race, Earnhardt came up just short. He ran out of gas near the finish in Charlotte and wound up seventh.

“All in all, a great top-five, a great day in the points for us,” Earnhardt said. Denny Hamlin was third, followed by Jeff Gordon and Carl Edwards, who holds a 40-point lead over Johnson. Johnson fought from 31st position and finished seventh. Polesitter Busch led 152 laps and finished ninth. He had to stop for gas as the leader with 10 laps left. “I was all smiles. I felt the groove again, to lead the race. It was great. It was solid,” Busch said. “There was always something in the back of my mind that we weren’t going to win, but I am proud Brad Keselowski did.” Keselowski won the pole last week at Charlotte and has been on a monthlong upswing for Penske. He seemed to come to life just as teammate Kurt Busch reached his wits end, with his displeasure culminating in an expletive-laden rant against team management. That led to behind-the-scenes personnel changes at Penske, including the announcement that technical Tom German was leaving the team to attend a graduate program at MIT.

DUBLIN, Ohio — Steve Stricker finally found the winning formula at the Memorial on Sunday. Stricker, who had never finished in the top 10 in his 11 previous trips to Muirfield Village, built a big lead on the front nine, then relied on his silky putting stroke for two clutch pars to hang on for a one-shot victory over Matt Kuchar and Brandt Jobe. He closed with a 4-under 68, lagging from 20 feet for a twoputt bogey on the 18th hole. By then, the hard work was over. The 44-year-old Stricker twice saved par from bunkers on the 16th and 17th holes, making putts of 15 feet and 7 feet to go to the last hole with a two-shot lead. Stricker finished at 16-under 272 and earned $1,116,000 for his 10th PGA Tour title and sixth in three years.

NASCAR driver Brad Keselowski celebrates in victory lane after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Kansas Speedway, Sunday in Kansas City, Kan.

But Keselowski also took exception to a comment Busch made that it had been several years since he’d had a teammate capable of running the same pace as him. Since then, Keselowski logged a third-place finish, raced his way into the All-Star race and, on Sunday, earned a win that could help him nab a wild-card spot in the Chase to the Sprint Cup championship. “It’s because of the bad finishes and the struggles that we had to get here that I really appreciate this win,” Keselowski said. “We’re in good shape. A few more wins like this and we can make the Chase.” The buzz before the Sprint Cup race was about the alterca-

tion between team owner Richard Childless and Kyle Busch that followed Saturday’s Trucks Series race. NASCAR said Kyle Busch did nothing to violate his probation, clearing the driver of any fault in the incident President Mike Helton deemed “unacceptable.” Childless, though, had his track access restricted and will be subject to further penalty this week. Kyle Busch, who led 11 laps, wound up 12th after his eventful weekend. “It was a solid day,” he said. “Qualified up front and ran decent much of the race. We probably had a seventh or eighthplace car (Sunday) and just kind of got off fuel mileage there at the end.”

ShopRite LPGA Classic GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP, N.J. — Brittany Lincicome made a 4-foot birdie putt on the final hole to win the ShopRite LPGA Classic for her fourth LPGA Tour title and first in two years. Lincicome closed with a bogey-free 5-under 66 for a one-shot victory over third-ranked Jiyai Shin (6) and No. 4 Cristie Kerr (69). It was Lincicome’s first win since the 2009 Kraft Nabisco. The 25-year-old Lincicome finished the 54-hole tournament on the Bay Course at Seaview

Stage set for high-stakes U.S. TV rights bidding The Associated Press

LAUSANNE, Switzerland — With Dick Ebersol out of the picture, NBC’s multi-billion-dollar grip on the most valuable property in sports faces a serious challenge this week when U.S. networks bid on the next set of Olympic television rights. NBC, the Olympic network in the United States for much of the past two decades, goes up against ESPN/ABC and Fox in a highstakes auction that could potentially command fees of more than $2 billion for two games and more than $4 billion for four. Network executives will make closed-door presentations and sealed bids to the International Olympic Committee today and Tuesday, the first U.S. broadcast rights contest in eight years. The implications are huge for both sides: The networks and their giant parent companies are weighing massive long-term in-

vestments in an uncertain economic climate, and the IOC is hoping for a bumper deal to keep the money flowing from one of its biggest sources of revenue. Up for grabs are the exclusive rights to the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia, and 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In a

new twist, the networks are also free to bid on a four-games package including the 2018 and 2020 Games, whose sites have not yet been selected. “We’ve got a full house and I’m hoping for the best,” Richard Carrion, who heads the IOC’s TV rights negotiations, told The As-

with an 11under 202 total, and the difference definitely was par 5s. Lincicome played nine par 5s in Stricker the tournament and had seven birdies, an eagle and a par, with the last birdie coming on the par-5, 501-yard 18th. Principal Charity Classic WEST DES MOINES, Iowa — Bob Gilder made a 30-foot birdie putt on No. 18, then escaped with a one-stroke victory in the Principal Charity Classic when Mark Brooks bogeyed the hole. Brooks, seeking his first victory in seven starts on the Champions Tour, had a three-stroke lead with four to play. But he hit into the water on 17 and needed a nifty putt just to make bogey, then three-putted on 18 to hand the title to Gilder, also the tournament winner in 2002. Melwood Prince George’s County Open COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Steve Wheatcroft ran away with the Melwood Prince George’s County Open, finishing a staggering 29 under for a Nationwide Tour-record 12-stroke victory. The 33-year-old former Indiana University player eagled the final hole for a 7-under 64 after opening with rounds of 66, 60 and 65 on the University of Maryland Golf Course.

Rasmussen wins Philly International race

Bruins head home facing deep deficit By GREG BEACHAM AP Sports Writer

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — The Boston Bruins couldn’t have enjoyed the scenery late Saturday night while their team bus crawled through the raucous street party that consumed downtown Vancouver after the Canucks moved halfway to their first NHL title. Maybe the Stanley Cup finals’ move to the East Coast will finally give the Bruins something to celebrate. With Game 3 looming tonight at TD Garden after a quick cross-continent trip Sunday, the Bruins realize the jam they brought back from Canada isn’t sweet. Only four teams have rallied from an 0-2 finals deficit in 46 tries. Boston must win four of the next five games to beat the Canucks, the NHL’s best regular-season team and the winner of seven of their past eight playoff games. “We’ll be disappointed, and we’re allowed to be,” said 43year-old Mark Recchi, who ended an 11-game goal drought with a power-play score in Game 2. “But we’ll take a lot of positives out of these games. When we get off that plane, we’ll forget all about it. We’ll worry about Monday, and doing our job at home.” Recchi is right: The Bruins probably shouldn’t spend any time contemplating the historic depth of their plight. Boston has rallied from an 0-2 deficit to win a series just once in 27 tries — although it happened in the first round of this postseason against Montreal. The Bruins are still smarting from their late struggles in Game 2, in which they lost for just the third time in 41 games this season when they had a lead after two periods. Van-

Rafael Nadal holds the trophy during the awards ceremony after defeating Roger Federer in four sets in the men’s final of the French Open at Roland Garros stadium in Paris on Sunday.

couver dominated the third period for the second straight finals game, with Daniel Sedin tying it midway through before Alex Burrows won it with his thrilling wraparound goal 11 seconds into overtime. “We have four lines that go out there and play the same way,” said Sedin, the NHL scoring champion. “We get pucks deep. We forecheck really hard. It wears teams down. It’s been like this the whole season. It’s nothing new for us. I think when we’re at our best, we usually have a lot of success in the third period.” Coach Claude Julien will remind his Bruins that they largely played well in two one-goal losses. Their defense held the Canucks’ top line scoreless for the first five periods of the series, bullying Daniel and Henrik Sedin into ineffectiveness. What’s more, Boston still hasn’t lost a Game 3 in the postseason, even winning a pressure-packed game at Montreal in the first round after losing the first two games at home. “The positive is we basically lost both games by one goal,” Boston forward David Krejci said. “That hurts, but we know we’re in the game and we know we can do it.”

Nadal reigns in Paris Spaniard tops Roger Federer in final to tie Bjorn Borg with six French Open crowns.

By CHRIS LEHOURITES AP Sports Writer

PARIS — Rafael Nadal is still better on clay than the most successful Grand Slam champion of all time, beating Roger Federer in their fourth French Open final 7-5, 7-6 (3), 5-7, 6-1 on Sunday. Nadal, who equaled Bjorn Borg’s record of six French Open titles and earned his 10th major with the victory, dropped to his knees and covered his face after Federer sent a forehand long on match point. “To win this final against one of the best players in the world and in history is something which is really fantastic for me,” said Nadal, who will keep his No. 1 ranking. “It’s one of my most beautiful dreams.” The top-ranked Nadal improved his record at Roland Garros to 45-1, and to 17-8 against Federer. In Grand Slam finals, Nadal is 6-2 against his main rival. “As it often happens, he is the best on clay,” Federer said. “He proved it once again.” It was the first time in more than two years that Nadal and Federer met in a Grand Slam final. They have played in 13 major finals, seven more than any other pair of men in tennis history. Nadal was playing to Federer’s backhand on Court Philippe Chatrier, but even the 16-time Grand Slam champion’s forehand was off. He committed 56 unforced errors in the match, while Nadal had only 27. In the break of service that finally broke Federer for good, the Swiss missed an easy forehand, double-faulted and then put a forehand into the net. That gave Nadal a 3-1 lead in the fourth set, and enough to hold on for victory. “For today, we played, I think, a good match,” Nadal said, then apologized to Federer for beating him. “Sorry for that and well done to his team.” Nadal is the second youngest man behind Borg to reach 10 major titles. The Spaniard also is about six months younger than Federer was when he won his 10th. Federer is 14-1 is Grand Slam finals against opponents other than Nadal. But besides the four defeats at Roland Garros, Federer lost to Nadal once at Wimbledon and once at the Australian Open. His two wins over Nadal both came at Wimbledon. Federer looked like the one to beat early in the match, breaking Nadal’s first service game and later watching from his changeover chair as Nadal called for a trainer to look at his left foot.

PHILADELPHIA — Alex Rasmussen of HTC-Highroad won a sprint to the finish line to win the 156-mile Philadelphia International Championship pro cycling race on Sunday. Rasmussen finished with a time of five hours, 59 minutes, four seconds, just ahead of Peter Sagan of Liquigas-Cannondale and Robert Forster of Team UnitedHealthcare. Riders made 10 circuits of a course of almost 15 miles from central Philadelphia to suburban Manayunk and back as well as several shorter loops before the final dash to the finish line. In the women’s Liberty Classic, current world champion Giorgia Bronzini of Colavita Forno d’Asolo finished the 57.6mile course in two hours, 28 minutes, 28 seconds, ahead of Shelley Olds of Diadora Pasta Zara and Jennifer Purcell of Team Danbury Audi. FOOTBALL

Big Ten championship staying in Indy

CHICAGO — Big Ten president and chancellors have voted to keep the conference football championship game in Indianapolis through at least 2015. The inaugural game will be played at Lucas Oil Stadium this fall. Commissioner Jim Delany says weather was a factor in keeping the game in Indianapolis rather than rotating with an outdoor venue like Soldier Field. Chicago did not exactly come away empty-handed, though. It will rotate conference basketball tournaments with Indianapolis beginning next season. Indianapolis, which has hosted the men’s and women’s tournaments the past four years, will get them in 2012, 2014 and 2016. Chicago’s United Center will host the men’s championships in 2013 and 2015, with the women in suburban Hoffman Estates those years. NFL

Rafael Nadal of Spain celebrates his sixth French Open championship Sunday.

Leading 5-2 and perhaps sensing some weakness, Federer had a set point during a Nadal service game. But the turning point came on that very point, when Federer tapped a backhand drop shot that landed just outside the line. The 2009 champion argued his case, but the chair umpire, off his perch and jogging across the court to investigate, ruled the ball was out. “I definitely thought that I got maybe a touch unlucky there and he got a touch lucky,” Federer said. “So it was a tough moment. I think that was one of my bigger chances of the match.” After a forehand return into the net and a backhand winner from Nadal, Federer folded. Nadal won seven straight games after that point, breaking Federer for the first time in the next game and then holding to 5-5 and breaking yet again when Federer sent a forehand into the net. In the final game, Federer led 15-30 but Nadal won three straight points to take the set. “I was able to play my best when I needed my best,” Nadal said. Nadal took Federer’s serve for the third time in a row in the opening game of the second set and looked to be rolling to victory until a 10-minute rain delay later halted play.

Burress to leave jail for uncertain career

NEW YORK — Locked up for 20 months for illegally carrying and firing a gun at a Manhattan nightclub, Plaxico Burress is ready to walk out of prison and face another grim reality, a lockout that could jeopardize the resumption of his football career. The former New York Giants receiver who caught the gamewinning pass in the 2008 Super Bowl is set to leave the Oneida Correctional Facility in upstate New York on Monday. Burress, who turns 34 in August, plans to return to his Florida home to spend time with his wife, son and a daughter born while he was in jail. Unlike Michael Vick, released in 2009 from a federal term for dogfighting, Burress doesn’t have a league waiting to bid on his services.

STILLWATER, Okla. — Patrick Reed closed out Augusta State’s second straight NCAA golf title Sunday, beating Georgia’s Harris English 2 and 1 in the featured matchup between each team’s top player. Reed needed only a double bogey to halve the 17th hole and win the championship after English hit his second shot into a lake left of the green. Reed, who played for the Bulldogs as a freshman, has helped turn Augusta State into a budding powerhouse, right in the shadows of Augusta National. The Jaguars, who compete in Division II in all sports except golf, also got victories from Mitchell Krywulycz and Carter Newman to win the final match 3-2. Russell Henley and Bryden MacPherson won their matches for Georgia, which was seeking its third NCAA title.

Temperatures are on the rise this week, after a taste of spring. A ridge of high pressure is building across the East, and highs will be near 90 by Thursday. Meanwhile, a trough will keep a chance of showers in the afternoon forecast. Most areas will remain dry, but a quick shower can't be ruled out. Another round of showers comes through the region tomorrow, around midday. A decaying area of low pressure will move from north to south bringing the threat for some light rain, but nothing heavy. Humidity levels will slowly build through the week, with sticky conditions expected by Thursday. - Ryan Coyle

MONDAY, JUNE 6, 2011 PAGE 7C

Woman who won’t keep track of time isn’t worth boyfriend’s future Dear Abby: I have been in a seven-year relationship with “Maddy,” which will probably end soon because she can’t seem to stick to any kind of routine. Maddy is in her mid-30s, the youngest in a large family, and grew up without any kind of responsibilities. She’s always misplacing and losing things — watches, cameras, jewelry, etc. Her mail goes unopened and her bills get paid late even though she has plenty of money. Maddy thinks I’m “controlling” because I get frustrated when we have to be somewhere at a specified time and she’s always late. I think she’s selfish to put her needs

DEAR ABBY

— or my sanity? — Losing Patience in the Pacific Northwest

ADVICE ahead of everyone else’s. There’s always an excuse; it’s always someone’s fault, never hers. In my line of work, if I have a meeting to attend, I arrive on time. Maddy thinks that unless it’s her boss telling her what time to be at a meeting, everything else is when she “gets to it.” I have planned entire weekends with dinner reservations and events scheduled and let her know what time we need to leave. When the time comes, she’s not even packed yet. Worse, she can’t understand my irritation. Is this relationship worth saving

Dear Losing Patience: Maddy must have many amazingly good qualities for you to have tolerated her lack of organization and consideration for others this long. Because you have let her know how you feel about it and nothing has changed, it’s time to accept that no changes will be forthcoming. My advice is to save your sanity. You’ll be happier and less frustrated if you find someone more like yourself.

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

Dear Abby: I have noticed over the past few decades that fewer and fewer people have heroes (I mean real heroes, not celebrities who are

CRYPTOQUOTE

famous for being famous). I’d love to hear from your readers about who their heroes are and why. These heroes should not be family members, but someone outside the family — a teacher, doctor, artist, writer, mentor, statesperson, etc. Without positive role models to emulate, it’s no wonder the majority of our young people are losing their way. — Alison in Ashland, Ore. Dear Alison: While I do not agree that the majority of our young people have “lost their way,” I do think you have posed an interesting challenge. Readers, if you’d care to chime in, I’m sure it would make an inspiring column. I would nominate the New York

City police and firefighters who searched for survivors after Sept. 11, the reporters at the New Orleans Times-Picayune who stayed at their posts to report the news after the terrible flood that decimated their city, and the men and women in our military who put themselves at risk in service to our country.

To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll gather information from various sources and deliver it in the way that is most useful to all involved. This takes intelligence and common sense, and you have plenty of both. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You may be talking about the weather, but your mind is spinning on much more exciting and enticing topics. There’s a glint in your eye that gives you away. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). A loved one’s situation is complicated. Maybe there’s some way to help that you haven’t thought of yet. Try to imagine what you would like for yourself if you were in the same situation. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Get seriously stern with yourself. It will take greater diligence to keep your actions in line with your goals. Pull in the reins on your thoughts, as well, disallowing your mind to wander to places you know it shouldn’t be. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You will mentally work out your options, bouncing them from one lobe of your brain to the other. It’s likely that nothing will stand out as the obviously right choice. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Appearances will lie. You’re so observant and reasonable that you will quickly notice when things just don’t add up. Share your knowledge judiciously. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It will be challenging to come to an agreement on an important matter. To move beyond an impasse, you may have to call in a neutral party — an arbitrator or a new vote that will break the tie.

MINUTE MAZE JUMBLE BY MICHEAL ARGIRION & JEFF KNUREK

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

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). As the sign of transformation, you have a certain natural grace when it comes to making changes. Your secret is to concentrate on who you are becoming and let go of the rest. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). A new relationship is forming, and so is someone’s impression of you. You’ll have many chances to get things right. Relax and take your time. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You are open to learning. Choose your teachers carefully because you are likely to take on some of their characteristics. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You don’t have to know the future in order to feel safe. Still, there is comfort in believing that things will turn out a particular way. And putting greater faith into your vision will help you relax. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have a great incentive to learn and grow, especially in a way that allows you to utilize new technology. When you move along with the rapidly developing world, things get easier for you. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 6). You place a higher value on your time this year and will be compensated accordingly. You know money can’t buy you love, but you already have love. Through the next seven weeks, you’ll focus on a few beautiful things that money can buy. You’ll help someone heal in September. Travel in August and November. Taurus and Sagittarius people are your admirers. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 15, 43, 51 and 29.
