Manager applicant disclosure is divisive

A WHITE HOUSE VISIT

Tempers flare at Hanover

At issue is whether names of county manager hopefuls should be made public. By JENNIFER LEARN-ANES jandes@timesleader.com

The 22 Luzerne County Council candidates have mixed opinions on whether the names of county manager job applicants should be publicly released. At least eight council candidates support full disclosure of all names. Six council contenders say no names should be released. Three say they would only support disclosing the names of the top finalists, and five said they’d consider that option. The issue surfaced this week because the county’s home rule transition committee is debating whether to add a sentence to the manager job advertisement alerting applicants that their names may be released to the public. The committee plans to advertise the position by the end of next month, and the manager will be selected by the 11 council candidates elected in November. Candidates Eileen M. Sorokas, Michelle Bednar, Stephen A. Urban, Rick Morelli, Gina Nevenglosky, William Bill James, Kathleen M. Dobash and Stephen J. Urban want to reThe (coun- lease the names of ty) manag- all applicants. Sorokas said er will be she also wants selected public interviews. She cited the by the 11 county court syscouncil tem’s public intercandidates viewing in 2009 to elected in fill the county November. commissioner seat vacated by Greg Skrepenak. “I had no problem going before the judges and getting publicly interviewed,” said Sorokas, who had been among 56 contenders for the commissioner post filled by Thomas Cooney. “We need transparency.” Bednar said the significance of the manager post warrants full disclosure. “This way there’s nothing hidden,” she said.

Spelling for Obama Bee champ Roy meets with president By JONATHAN RISKIND Times Leader Washington Bureau

.WASHINGTON – Since winning the 2011 Scripps National Spelling Bee a week ago, 14-year-old Sukanya Roy has been interviewed by CNN and appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” But it all paled in comparison with spelling out her winning word – “cymotrichous,” meaning having wavy hair – for President Barack Obama during an Oval Office visit Thursday afternoon, said Sukanya, a South Abington Township resident and eighth-grader at Abington Heights Middle School. “It’s still sinking in,” said Sukanya and parents, father Abhi and mother Mousumi, as they walked out of the

After shaking hands and posing for pictures, Obama asked Sukanya not just to spell cymotrichous but to explain how she arrived at the successful spelling that put the 2011 Times Leader/Scripps Northeast Pennsylvania Regional Spelling Bee champion atop 274 other spellers at the national bee. Sukanya told the president that while she didn’t recognize the word, the definition gave it away, since she knew how to spell the Greek roots for wavy and hair. Obama also asked Sukanya what she had on tap this summer after her big win. After catching up with end-of-the year school work and getting ready for

HANOVER TWP. – Six months after it began, the Hanover Area School Board on Thursday said it has a preliminary final budget for the 20112012 school year, but taxpayers, students and a teacher urged the board to reconsider the cuts made to balance expenses and revenues. The board proposed cutting staff by 18 percent, consolidating schools, eliminating programs and raising taxes 0.9 mills to reach a preliminary budget of $25,151, 261. A mill equals $1 in tax for every $1,000 in assessed property values. Alone the increase would amount to $90 for a home assessed at $100,000. The increase would put the district’s millage at 16.2283, equal to a property tax of $1,622.83 on a $100,000 home. See HANOVER, Page 9A

Man sentenced in burglaries

By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A New Jersey man charged with burglarizing three local businesses, including a state health office, and leaving behind DNA evidence, was sentenced to two to four years in state prison Wednesday. Ronnie Bernard Epps, 45, who is incarcerated at a state correctional institution on unrelated charges, pleaded guilty to three counts of burglary and was sentenced by Luzerne County Senior Judge Joseph Augello. Epps was sentenced to two to four years in prison to be served concurrently with his current sentence. He also was ordered to pay just over $18,800 in restitution costs to the three businesses. Investigators said in all three cases Epps left behind DNA evi-

dence, including on a comb and juice bottle, which police used to identify the person responsible for the burglaries. According to court papers, on Dec. 19, 2007, police were called to the Hertz Store in WilkesBarre Township for the report of a burglary. Police said three computers, three monitors, a portable radio, copier and four sets of vehicle keys were taken from the store. Police also said a Volkswagen Jetta was stolen from the property from a separate part of the building where they recovered a book of matches and a comb. Through DNA analysis of the comb, police said they were able to identify Epps. On Oct. 1, 2007, Charles Desiderio told police someone broke into his business, Desiderio Con-

struction, in Larksville. Police said a flat-screen monitor and five business checks were taken and the person also broke into the Therapeutic Massage next door and stole a luggage bag and credit card belonging to an employee. Police found blood in the business, which was later tested and found to match Epps’. Investigators said on Oct. 21, 2007, the Pennsylvania Department of Health Office in Hanover Township was broken into and six computers, a computer monitor, small suitcase and $25 were stolen. Police investigated the scene, according to court papers, and found a Lucky Leaf Apple Juice bottle in a trash can. The bottle was tested and DNA left on it was traced to Epps.

Martin Rutledge ‘Rut’ Flynn June 1, 2011 Martin Rutledge Flynn, of St. Petersburg Beach, Fla., died peacefully in his sleep Wednesday, June 1, 2011, after a lengthy illness. “Rut,” as he was known to both family and friends, was born April 25, 1937, a son to Tom and Grace Flynn, Pittston. In1942, he and his family moved to Kingston, where he later attended Wyoming Seminary Prep School. Following graduation, he accepted an appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy and in 1959 received a commission in the Navy as an ensign. Flight training followed graduation from the academy, and once he received his designation as a Naval Aviator, Rut was assigned to Naval Air Station, New Brunswick, Maine, to fly P2-V aircraft and conduct anti-submarine patrols in the North Atlantic. Although Rut completed his active duty requirement in 1964, and returned to Kingston to take over the family business, he continued his naval career in the Navy Reserves and retired a captain in 1989

after 30 years of service. In addition to being president of Tom Flynn Fuel Co., Rut pursued other successful business ventures in the Wilkes-Barre area, including major construction projects following the 1972 Agnes flood, and majority ownership in a restaurant. He retired from business in 1987 and moved to St. Petersburg Beach, Fla., where he enjoyed reading and spending time with his grandchildren and fellow military veterans. Rut was preceded in death by both his parents; his sister Marylyn; and his son Patrick. He is survived by sisters Kathryn Miller, Philadelphia, Pa., and Judith Evanko, Marco Island, Fla.; daughters, Joanie Flynn, Annapolis, Md., and Kelly Flynn, Portsmouth, N.H.; sons Michael Flynn, Woodstock, Ga., and Rick Flynn, Walnut Creek, Calif.; and four grandchildren, Meghan, Katie, Gabriella and Mario. A gathering of friends and family was held Saturday followed by a memorial service. This was then followed by a reception at the Yacht and Tennis Club of St. Petersburg Beach Club House, located off of Blind Pass Road. In lieu of flowers, the family asked that donations be sent to the Bay Pines Veterans Administration Medical Care Hospice Unit Ward 5C, PO Box 5005, Bay Pines, FL 33744.

County lawyers say prothonotary’s separation of powers argument unfounded under home rule.

WILKES-BARRE – The county’s home rule charter and elimination of the prothonotary’s position do not violate the state constitution, attorneys for the county said in court papers filed Thursday. Attorneys John Dean and Mark Bufalino said Prothonotary Carolee Medico Olenginski’s argument that the elimination of her position would result in a “gross invasion” of the executive branch into the judiciary also has no merit because her office is in no way part of the judiciary. In fact, the attorneys said in their 26-page filing, the same voters that elected Medico Olenginski elected to have a new form of government run their county – the home rule charter – which outlines the elimination of the prothonotary’s position. Dean and Bufalino said in their writing that because of those reasons, Medico Olenginski’s appeal should be dismissed. The attorneys filing Medico was a response to a Olenginski May filing by Medico Olenginski and her office’s attorney, Sam Stretton, appealing county Senior Judge Richard Saxton’s ruling that dismissed her lawsuit challenging the elimination of her position. Under the charter, the duties of the Prothonotary’s Office would be transferred to the Division of Judicial Services and Records, which would be headed by a person appointed by the County Council. Medico Olenginski will remain in office through 2013, the end of her elected term, but will lose her power to run the office once home rule is implemented in January. Medico Olenginski argued her office is part of the state judiciary and abolishing it would violate the state constitution that ensures the separation of powers of the government’s executive branch and the judiciary. The county’s attorneys argued in their filing that the requirement of a separation of powers in local government exists “only if dictated by the state constitution, or set forth in its charter.” In Pennsylvania, because the constitution does not dictate separation of powers at the local level, “…there is no con-

Businessmen say they paid Cordaro, Munchak By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

SCRANTON – Three partners of a Clarks Summit architectural firm testified Thursday they were extorted into paying $90,000 to Robert Cordaro and A.J. Munchak out of fear their firm would lose millions of dollars in contracts with Lackawanna County. Don Kalina of Highland Associates said he received a phone call from Munchak in around April 2005, asking him to meet for lunch. When he asked Munchak, who along with Cordaro had taken over as majority commissioners in 2004, what he wanted to talk about, his message was short and simple: “We need some cash,” Kalina said.

Kalina, who along with Kevin Smith and Dominic Provino formed Highland Associates in 1988, said he didn’t immediately respond to the reONLINE quest, telling Munchak he needed to To see video, discuss it with his scan this QR code into your partners. smartphone or Federal prosecuvisit www.titors allege Highland mesleaderAssociates was one .com. of eight companies that were extorted into paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to Cordaro and Munchak, who are on trial on multiple counts of extor-

Endangering case advances

A woman accused by city police of leaving two children unsupervised at a playground waived her right to a preliminary hearing in Wilkes-Barre Central Court on Thursday. Donna Heller, 52, of North Hancock Street, Wilkes-Barre, waived two counts of endangering the welfare of children to Luzerne County Court. Police withdrew two counts of failure to use child safety seats in a Heller vehicle against Heller. Heller was charged after police allege she left a 4-year-old girl and a 21-monthold girl unsupervised at the Coal Street Playground on May 24. Heller drove away and returned five minutes later only to stay inside her car, which was parked 150 feet away from the playground, according to the criminal complaint.

Negotiations for Pa. union contracts go down to wire By MARK SCOLFORO Associated Press

HARRISBURG—Negotiatorsplan three days of meetings later this month in a push to finalize contracts with 17 Pennsylvania state government unions that cover about 57,000 workers. The major issues are wage and benefit givebacks proposed by Gov. Tom Corbett. Talks have so far focused on Council 13 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employ-

Deals with the other unions are likely to replicate or closely mirror the AFSCME contract. “There has been some movement on both sides, a little movement — it’s not significant,” AFSCME executive director David Fillman said Wednesday. “We’ve got the heavy lifts with the wage issue and health care.” The talks are picking up speed as Corbett and state lawmakers are working out details of a state budget

ities?” Assistant U.S. Attorney Lorna Graham asked Smith, who was first to take the stand. “We felt it would be a situation of our word against their word,” Smith said. “The path of least resistance was to make the payments.” Provino took the stand next. He testified he was first made aware that Cordaro and Munchak expected to be paid for awarding contracts in 2004, when he was approached by P.J. McLaine of Acker Associates, a civil engineering firm that often did subcontract work for Highland. Provino said McLaine told him that Acker Associates was paying the commissioners $10,000 a month in kickbacks. If Highland wanted work in the

county, it would have to pay, too, Provino said. Provino said the partners originally balked at the request. At the time, Highland had just more than Cordaro $46,000 in contracts with the county. “There was no pressure for us to do to anything,” Provino said. That changed dramatically in 2005, when it secured severMunchak al more contracts, including renovations at the county courthouse and construction of a new 911 center, which were worth millions.

the typical union member. He put the average wage of Council 13 members at $34,000, while the state said it was just over $39,000. As for the health insurance proposal, Fillman said the union has not gotten specifics, but Kathy Jellison, president of the Pennsylvania Social Services Union, SEIU Local 668, said the administration laid out some of its health-coverage goals during a presentation to the union earlier this week.

“We told him that IndianAmericans place a high value on hard work and education,” Abhi Roy said in the interview outside the White House. It was just another whirlwind day for Sukanya, who found herself back in Washington exactly a week after she stood on the stage

The men testified they each contributed $10,000 for a total of $30,000, which was given to Kalina to deliver. Kalina said he met Munchak in a parking lot and handed him an envelope stuffed with $100 bills. It would be the first of three, $30,000 payments the men would make to the commissioners, they said. About a month after the first payment, Kalina said, he got another call from Munchak, who told him “We need more cash.” The third call came in around November 2005. Each time, the men contributed $10,000 each. Kalina delivered the money – twice to Munchak and once to Cordaro, he said. Provino said after the second request was made, the men seriously considered refusing to pay, but ultimately “caved in.” “All the other alternatives were not good,” Provino said. “It was just easier to make the payment.

right thing to do. It was the easiest thing to do.” Under cross examination by defense attorneys, Smith and Provino acknowledged they never spoke directly to Cordaro or Munchak or saw Kalina deliver the money to them. Munchak’s attorney, Christopher Powell, seized on that issue, providing a hint of a possible defense strategy. “The only thing you know is you gave Don Kalina $10,000 on three occasions,” Powell said to Smith. “If Don Kalina said he gave money to the commissioners, he gave it to the commissioners,” Smith said. Kalina took the stand toward the end of the day. Prosecutors finished their direct examination, but time ran out before he could be cross examined. He will resume his testimony today.

Earlier in the day, Thomas Cumming, the owner of a John Brayfee LLC, the company that won the contract to build a new 911 cell tower, testified he was told by McLaine to deal with Al Hughes, a West Scranton funeral director, to “facilitate” approval of the project. Hughes, a friend of Cordaro’s, held no position with the county. Cummings said he agreed to utilize Hughes as gobetween because he knew Hughes had “relationship” with the majority commissioners. Prosecutors allege Hughes, who was made a partner in the cell tower project, was paid $14,000 for his share of the profit, and that he received an additional $14,000 that was paid to Cordaro. McLaine and a third man were also each paid $14,000. Testimony will resume at 9:30 a.m. today before U.S. District Judge A. Richard Caputo.

But we also have to be competitive in a global economy. I think the con-

gressman has been supportive of that and I think legislation that’s coming through both the House and the Senate will help support that in the end,” he said. Also participating in the tour were state Sen. John Blake, DArchbald; state Rep. Mike Carroll, D-Avoca; and Duryea Mayor Keith Moss.

GUVECCI, Turkey — Syrian troops and heavy armor encircled a restive northern town on Thursday and hundreds of people fled through a single escape route across the lush Turkish border, sharply escalating the upheaval that threatens Syria’s authoritarian regime. The town of Jisr al-Shughour emptied as its residents crossed olive groves and traveled gravel roads, trying to get away from the tanks and elite forces surrounding them, a resident and activist said. Turkey’s foreign minister said more than 2,400 Syrians had crossed

the border, which was opened for refugees. As more Syrians took up temporary residence in tents and with Turkish relatives, the uprising that targeted President Bashar Assad drew increasing scrutiny abroad. In Geneva, Navi Pillay, the U.N.’s High Commissioner for Human Rights, accused Syria of trying to “bludgeon its population into submission” by attacking anti-government protesters with snipers, tanks and artillery. A man who stayed behind in Jisr alShughour said the town was all but empty and people in a nearby village had warned that hundreds of soldiers were massing along with 27 tanks and 50 armored personnel carriers. “It seems they are ready to launch the attack,” he said, asking that his name not be used for fear of reprisals. Syrian activists say more than 1,300 people have died in the crackdown on

the 11-week uprising, most of them unarmed civilians; a government spokeswoman countered that 500 security forces had died in the uprising, including 120 who died in the Jisr al-Shughour area this week. “The only instance where security forces have fired is when they have been fired at,” Reem Haddad told Britain’s Sky News. “How have these people been killed for goodness sake if no one is firing at them?” Groups of Syrians were crossing into Turkey by the hour from the province of Idlib, on motorbikes, pickup trucks and on foot. “I don’t want to die. I want Bashar Assad to go,” said one Syrian teenager, who identified himself only by his first name, Ahmad, fearing reprisals from AP PHOTO the Syrian government.

End-game seen in Libya

eople close to Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi are looking for inP ternational help to negotiate his depar-

ture from power, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Thursday, as countries backing NATO’s military mission in Libya predicted Gadhafi’s demise may be imminent. International donors meeting in Abu Dhabi pledged more than $1.3 billion to help support Libya’s main opposition group as it plans a strategy for a postGadhafi era, but opposition leaders grumbled that donors have been stingy and slow. NATO intensified airstrikes against Gadhafi-held areas around the Libyan capital but the opposition says rebels fighting to oust Gadhafi cannot hold on without more help. “There have been numerous and continuing discussions by people close to Gadhafi and we are aware that those discussions include, among other matters, the potential for a transition,” Clinton told reporters after a meeting of top officials from the more than 30-member Contact Group on Libya. WASHINGTON

Panetta talks Iraq strategy

Leon Panetta, the likely next Pentagon chief, predicted on Thursday that Iraq will ask the United States to maintain a presence in that country beyond the end of this year, when American troops are currently scheduled to leave. “It’s clear to me Iraq is considering some kind of presence” to remain in the country, contingent on what Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki requests, Panetta told the Senate Armed Services Committee. “I have every confidence that a request like that will be forthcoming.” Panetta said there are still about 1,000 al-Qaida insurgents in Iraq, and keeping some troops to support security forces there is a good idea.

Floods expected to persist

The rising Missouri River is set to reach peak flows within days and won’t return to normal until September as the Army Corps of Engineers manages a series of swollen reservoirs in Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota and faces the prospect of huge snowpack melting in the Rockies. That means people leaving their homes and businesses in early June may not be able to come back before late summer. The question in Hamburg is whether a levee along the river that already has sprung a leak will completely give way, leaving only a temporary barrier to protect the town of 1,100. ABU DHABI, UAE

Yemen cease-fire favored

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says all sides should honor Yemen’s cease-fire so a peaceful change of power can take place. Clinton, who’s traveling in the Persian Gulf region, told reporters that the U.S. was pushing for an “immediate, orderly and peaceful transition” in Yemen. She said Thursday that she didn’t know whether President Ali Abdullah Saleh planned to return. Saleh is being treated in Saudi Arabia after his compound was attacked last week. Clinton declined to say how the U.S. was dealing with al-Qaida in Yemen. U.S. officials say the covert campaign against the Yemeni branch of the terrorist group continues.

Rep. Weiner: ‘I’m not quitting’

Despite new photographs and pregnancy of his wife, congressman said he is making amends. By LAURIE KELLMAN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Rep. Anthony Weiner is clinging to his perch in Congress despite new efforts to pry him away and developments that might inspire others in his position to give up the fight: A newly released X-rated photo that Weiner purportedly took of himself turned up on the Internet. And his wife of less than a year, Huma

Abedin, is pregnant. “I’m not” quitting, Weiner told the New York Post on Thursday. He said he is making amends to his constituents and trying to get work done while Abedin, a top aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, travels overseas. The baby on the way complicated an already ominous future for the 46-year-old congressman, who acknowledged on Monday that he had Tweeted sexually charged photos and messages to six women he did not know, then lied about it to his wife, his family and his constituents. Weiner has refused to resign even as more embarrassing details have emerged about his online communications.

Gennette Cordova, recipient of the photo of Weiner’s crotch in gray underwear that began the furor, said it was such a startling turn in an online conversation mostly in support of his politics that she assumed the message was fake. “I have never sent him any suggestive messages,” the 21-year-old college student from Washington state told The New York Times in an interview published Thursday. Lisa Weiss, a 40-year-old blackjack dealer from Las Vegas, said her online banter with Weiner began flirtatiously and he escalated to graphic comments: “I would want to talk politics,” she said in an interview on “Inside Edition,” “but he would turn it creepy.”

Ala. gov. signs tough immigration law By BOB JOHNSON Associated Press

MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Alabama’s governor on Thursday signed a tough new illegal immigration law that requires public schools to determine students’ immigration status and makes it a crime to knowingly give an illegal immigrant a ride. The bill also allows police to arrest anyone suspected of being an illegal immigrant if they’re stopped for any other reason. Alabama employers also are now required to use a federal system called EVerify to determine if new workers are in the country legally. Gov. Robert Bentley said the law is the nation’s toughest, and groups including the American Civil Liberties Union and the Montgomery-based Southern Pover-

ty Law Center say they plan to challenge it. The legal director for the Southern Poverty Law Center, Mary Bauer, said Thursday that she expects a lawsuit to be filed before the provisions of law are scheduled to take effect on Sept. 1. “It is clearly unconstitutional. It’s mean-spirited, racist and we think a court will enjoin it,” Bauer said. Sam Brooks of the SPLC’s Immigrant Justice Project said the new law will set back progress Alabama has made on civil rights and race relations. According to the 2010 U.S. census, 3.9 percent — about 186,000 — of the state’s nearly 4.8 million people identified as AP PHOTO Hispanic or Latino. That’s more than double the number reported in the 2000 cen- Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley signs an sus. illegal immigration law on Thursday.

WASHINGTON — With an early August deadline looming, Vice President Joe Biden and top lawmakers met for the sixth time Thursday on legislation blending $1 trillion or more in spending cuts with a must-do measure to allow the government to resume borrowing more than $100 billion a month to pay its bills. Pressure is building on the group to demonstrate they can come up with spending cuts of the size required to offset an increase in the Cantor debt limit that could keep the government afloat until 2013 — so they wouldn’t have to cast another politically toxic vote before next year’s elections. But with Republicans demanding spending cuts at least equal to the amount of the increase in the nation’s $14.3 trillion debt, negotiators face a daunting task. It would take a $2.4 trillion increase in the so-called debt limit to finance the government’s operations for another year and a half. Going into the meeting, negotiators said Biden was to make a pitch for more revenues, an idea that was sure to be met with skepticism at best from GOP negotiators, who back an idea that’s just as toxic to Democrats: A cap on government spending that’s backed up by the threat of automatic spending cuts to every government program, including Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. “We’re trying to make sure we accomplish as much as we can it terms of cutting spending and implementing reform,” said Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia, who’s representing House Republicans in the talks. Failure to raise the nation’s debt ceiling could lead to a first-ever U.S. default on its obligations, sure to roil stock markets and, economists warn, possibly push the teetering economy back into recession. Talks continued among lawmakers and senior administration officials after Biden left to return to the White House.

Moore remembered for sense of humor Family and friends attend service for homeless man who died in Wilkes-Barre fire. By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Darryl Moore said his brother, James, never took life too seriously. James Moore Jr., 52, died in the May 30 fire at 73 Sullivan St., with his friend, Robert “Bobby” Klein. Moore’s family held a memorial service for him Thursday afternoon at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church on South Franklin Street. “I ask his children to always keep in touch with each other,” Darryl Moore said. “And I will keep in touch with you as well.” Moore’s family described James “Jay” Moore as a man who enjoyed reading and playing bas-

ketball and who possessed a humorous personality. Stefanie Wolownik, executive director of REACH Inc., a homeless drop-in center housed in the basement of St. Stephen’s, said she never heard a bad word said about Moore or Klein. She said they each had “a bad problem” – drinking alcohol. “They were good men,” Wolownik said. Moore, originally from Brooklyn, N.Y., was the eldest son of Juanita and the late James Moore, Sr. He was a veteran of the U.S. Air Force. Moore moved to WilkesBarre in 1991 and worked various jobs. Besides his mother and brother Darryl, Moore is survived by his brother Reuben; sisters, Gwendolyn and Sonya; children, Eboni Whetstone Smith, twins Daniel and James Leigh McCloe, and

Kaylee Moore; step-children, Brittany Bolton and Salice Fagaly; mothers of Jay’s children, Nancy Whetstone Smith, Valerie McCloe and Susan Bolton; and a host of family and friends. The fire remains under investigation. Several people who lived in adjacent buildings remain displaced, according to Mina Hontz, a volunteer at the Wyoming Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross. “The building at 65-67 Sullivan St. received a lot of smoke and water damage,” Hontz said. “None of the people living there have returned.” Hontz said Red Cross and the Commission on Economic Opportunity and the Salvation Army have been working with the families to find alternate housing and furnishing and clothing.

WILKES-BARRE – A city woman charged with fatally injuring a cat with a metal rake pleaded no contest to related charges Thursday. Jessica Pachucki, 24, of North Meade Street, entered the plea before Luzerne County Senior Judge Joseph Augello to a misdemeanor charge of cruelty to animals and a summary charge of cruelty to animals. Pachucki, who will be sentenced on July 25, could face up to two and a half years in prison and a $300 fine. Pachucki had previously requested a trial in the case after being denied entrance into the county’s Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition program. According to court papers, Robert Kennedy, of Logan Street, reported that a woman on North Meade Street beat his 13-year-old cat with a metal rake on July 30. Kennedy took his cat to a veterinarian and learned the feline suffered a fractured leg that required amputation and puncture wounds, court papers say. Kennedy had the cat euthanized at the SPCA, police said. Pachucki called the SPCA and admitted she struck the cat with a rake, but claimed she was attempting to keep the cat away from her dog, a pit bull. A witness told an animal control officer that she saw Pachucki beating the cat with a rake and the pit bull was tied to a dog house, about 30 to 40 feet away from the cat, according to the complaint. Assistant District Attorney Alexis Falvello is prosecuting the case. Pachucki is represented by attorney Demetrius Fannick. At the time of her sentencing, Pachucki will be required to pay $142 in restitution to Kennedy, and was ordered to have no contact with him.

HANOVER Continued from Page 1A

AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER

A Hanover Area art teacher points to students who would be affected if an arts program is cut.

Deborah Scott of Warrior Run said the district has not been prudent with its money and that put it in the present situation. According to her research the district spent $25 million on transportation costs since 1999; a figure the board disputed. Pericci offered her the opportunity the meet with the board to discuss her claims, but Scott refused. “I speak nothing behind closed doors,” said Scott. Teacher Leann Simasek brought some of her students to

speak out against the board’s proposal to cut the visual arts program and eliminate her position. “You’re telling the kids they’re worthless,” she said. Victor Rivera, a 19-year-old senior, was among the half dozen students who stood with Simasek. “What you are doing destroys creativity and it shouldn’t happen, said Rivera. “It just shouldn’t happen.” The district has had to deal with a loss in state funding, but at the same time it’s facing an increase in health-care costs and

pensions, Pericci explained as reasons for the cuts. In addition, it has to deal with a $2.8 million debt service for the next 10 years, he said. “I can’t find a way to make that

$2.8 million go away,” said Pericci. But business owner and township resident John Beierle suggested the district can deal with the health-care costs by requiring

the teachers to pay for their coverage when it negotiates new contracts. “You’re looking at an entire town going down for a few people,” said Beierle.

Lawmakers look to expand games, prize limits for clubs By KARI ANDREN The (Harrisburg) Patriot-News

HARRISBURG — Hundreds of private clubs and nonprofit groups are breaking Pennsylvania’s law on small games of chance every year. Even so, several state lawmakers want to expand the games and increase prize limits. Social clubs and nonprofits, such as Veterans of Foreign Wars and fire companies, can offer small games of chance as fundraisers for their charitable missions. Games can include dinner drawings, raffles, pull tabs and punch boards. State law limits weekly prize payouts to $5,000 and requires that all proceeds go to charity or toward the purchase of future games. “Very few clubs are actually

complying with the law,” said Maj. John Lutz, director of the Pennsylvania State Police Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement, which enforces the smallgames law. Groups of all kinds have violated the small-games-ofchance law in recent years, including American Legions, VFWs, Knights of Columbus, fire companies and other social clubs, authorities said. In a letter to state Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi last month, Gov. Tom Corbett wrote that before expanding small games or increasing prize limits, “it is necessary to devise a means to increase and enhance enforcement of small games of chance.” If better enforcement is achieved, Corbett said he

would be willing to work with state lawmakers to increase weekly prize limits. Club owners and nonprofit groups have been fighting for years to raise prize limits, which have not been changed since the original law was enacted in 1988. State Rep. Sheryl Delozier, RLower Allen Twp., believes it could happen this year. Delozier is sponsoring a bill that would increase weekly prize limits from $5,000 to $25,000 and allow clubs and nonprofit groups to use up to 40 percent of the proceeds for capital expenses such as property taxes, utilities, insurance or a mortgage. Similar proposals have been introduced by other state lawmakers.

However, that could change, cautioned Anthony Podczasy, district superintendent, to the audience of approximately 100 people who turned out for the board’s regular monthly meeting at the high school. “Nothing is written in stone,” he said. A budget must be approved by the end of the month, and the people who spoke up during the meeting criticized the work of the board to date. Emery Richard Letoski demanded that the board do better or resign. “Do you understand where our economy is right now?” asked Letoski. Board President John Pericci reiterated the steps taken to arrive at the preliminary final budget and added, “The bottom line is we’re continuing to look at this.” For more than an hour, Pericci took the brunt of complaints from the public upset about the spending plan.

MEETINGS

Luzerne gears up for Sunday’s bicycle race LUZERNE -- Phil Cable of NEPA Cycling confirmed during Wednesday evening’s regular council meeting that all of the final preparations have been made for this Sunday’s bicycle race. Sunday’s event actually consists of 11 different races for different age and skill levels on a course that covers roughly a mile of the borough. In addition to the races, there will be food vendors and live music. Cable touted the race and festival as a family event and said he hoped it could become a yearly tradition. “I hope it’s something the town embraces and that they want to have back,” Cable said. He anticipates upwards of 250 registered racers by Sunday morning with cyclists coming from all over the northeastern United States. Cable encouraged interested potential participants to preregister but noted that race-day registration is available up until 10:30 a.m. Sunday. The Luzerne race will be the fourth of the NEPA Pro-Am Cycling Tour. A race was held last Sunday in Tunkhannock. Another is scheduled for later

Rezoning changes outlined at Exeter Planning Commission EXETER -- Exeter Borough’s Planning Commission on Wednesday heard from Jack Varaly of Michael J. Pasonick and Associates, the commission’s planning consultant, about borough council’s decision to accept the commission’s recommendation to change the zoning of one area of the borough from R3 (high density) to R1 (for single homes) as a means to stop a potential multiple-unit development. The land is located on Packer Avenue, which borders the Fox Hill Country Club and connects Tunkhannock Avenue and Slocum Avenue. This action will rezone the area to single homes only in an effort to try to control future water runoff in the area. Varaly also informed the commission that the council has decided to retain the current structure of the Planning Commission moving forward. While council has the final word on all

land use and developments, the commission will be the initial point of contact and approval for all projects. As part of a revision of the zoning ordinance, Varaly detailed a possible change of the section dealing with “big-box” store zoning. He recommended changes that would implement rules for facilities of more than 30,000 square feet as conditional uses and for those of more than 75,000 square feet that would now require a variance for approval. He detailed the restrictions ranging from water runoff requirements to building design requirements. The proposed changes would have no impact on the existing Wal-Mart project, but they would impact future “big-box” developments in Exeter. Planning Commission member Larry Dellegrotto praised the revisions, and said the changes were based on national studies. The commission unanimously approved the recommendation concerning the “bigbox” developments to council. The Planning Commission’s next meeting will be July 13. William Bell Water run-off control discussed at Butler Twp. BUTLER TWP. -- Water runoff control was once again a topic of discussion at the township supervisors meeting on Wednesday night. Residents expressed concern that property adjacent to Ash Lane and Woodmer Drive had experienced significant rainfall and this has resulted in stormwater runoff on their property. They said wetlands areas that formerly contained this runoff were no longer effective and they were concerned that this would result in flooding and eventually significant property

damage. Residents said that during significant rainfalls this runoff also affects Old Turnpike Road. Other areas affected by this runoff problem are Fox Acres, with damage noted throughout the development, and Hashagen Estates, which does have drainage in place, but which seems to no longer be effective in preventing flooding to resident properties. Resident Jim Caffray said runoff has been a problem historically within the township, with some residents stating that they believed the township had been trying to rectify the problem for more than 30 years. Ransom Young, chairman of the board of supervisors, indicated the township would aggressively look into the matter and that grant money had already been requested from the state. Butler Township supervisors will next meet on July 13. Geri Gibbons Rice Twp. board hires two summer road workers RICE TWP. – The township road department received a boost on Wednesday when the board of supervisors voted unanimously to hire two additional workers in time for the summer season. The new hires, Daniel Centurione and Brian Yermel, both township residents, will earn $10 per hour and work 32 hours per week. They will be employed on a probationary basis. Officials said the pair will train under current road department foreman Robert Duffy. They will join two current workers on the road crew. "We have over 21 miles of road in the township," said Supervisor Chairman Miller Stella. "This is a positive move in a positive direction for us." Steven Fondo

WILKES-BARRE – Two men arrested in the same apartment building on the same day on sexrelated charges appeared for their preliminary hearings in WilkesBarre Central Court on Thursday. Jason Randolph Picknarcik, 34, and Billy Joe O’Brien, 26, were arrested from an apartment they shared at 84 Park Ave. on June 2. Luzerne County detectives arrived at the apartment building to execute a warrant regarding an investigation that Picknarcik was downloading and viewing child pornography on the Internet. While verifying tenants in the building, a detective learned O’Brien, a convicted sex offender, was allegedly living in the same apartment with Picknarcik in violation of registration rules under Megan’s Law. A Luzerne County judge in September 2005 sentenced O’Brien to nine to18 months plus two years probation on an indecent assault charge for molesting girl in Wyoming. A violation of his probation resulted in O’Brien being re-sentenced to nine to18 months in jail in July 2008, according to court records. Court records indicate O’Brien is required to register his address with state police once a year for 10 years, and whenever he relocates to a new residence. He allegedly failed to register the Park Avenue apartment address and

missed a yearly registration date in May, according to arrest records. Detective Charles Balogh said in Central Court on Thursday that O’Brien had been living with Picknarcik since January. O’Brien’s preliminary hearing was continued for not having a defense attorney. It was rescheduled for Wednesday. He remains jailed at the county prison for lack of $5,000 bail. Picknarcik was initially charged with 10 counts of possession of child pornography and three counts of dissemination of child pornography on June 2. Detectives allege Picknarcik downloaded and viewed videos of children engaged in sex acts with adults from Feb. 28 until he was arrested. At his preliminary hearing, Balogh amended the criminal complaint, adding 75 additional counts of possession of child pornography against Picknarcik. Picknarcik waived his preliminary hearing, sending 85 counts of child pornography and three counts of dissemination of child pornography to county court. He remains jailed for lack of $25,000 bail.

Kingston Twp. doesn’t approve regional police study KINGSTON TWP. – The board of supervisors did not approve a motion Wednesday to opt into a grant-sponsored regional police force study in the Back Mountain. The issue was brought up at last month’s Back Mountain Community Partnership meeting, as Jackson Township Supervisor John Wilkes Jr. told the group a grant from the Governor’s Center for Local Government Services was available for such a study. Representatives from each municipality involved in the group – Dallas Borough and Dallas, Franklin, Jackson, Kingston and Lehman townships – agreed to take the discussion back to their individual boards. Jackson Township approved a motion to enter into the study at a meeting Monday. Kingston Township Chairman James Reino Jr. said at Wednesday’s meeting that despite past failed attempts to regionalize the Back Mountain police force, it might be a good idea to examine the results of a study now. “We may get results that are not workable or not economically feasible, but I think it would be a good venture,” he said. The board also gave Police Chief James Balavage a chance to discuss the issue, and he said unless the study is “serious,” he would suggest the township decline the offer. “Unless there is a concerted effort to understand … policing in the future, I would say no,” he said. Reino made a motion to opt into the study, but none of the four other board members – Jeffrey Box, Shirley Moyer, John Solinsky and Frank Natitus – seconded the motion. In other news, the board discussed changes to its public exhibitions and amusements ordinance. John Gibbons, of the Back Mountain Harvest Assembly Church, said he was sent a notice concerning public safety issues related to the church’s annual Fourth of July fireworks display. Natitus said the display is a “great thing” but residents have expressed concerns about event parking on both sides of narrow streets including Manor Drive, Dug Road and Terrace Avenue that prohibit emergency vehicles passage and also impede on residents’ properties. Reino added the township’s financial constraints also limit the police force available and mentioned talk of pooling officers from neighboring municipalities to help during the hourlong event. There will be a public hearing on the public exhibitions and amusements ordinance before the board’s next meeting at 7:30 p.m. July 13 at the municipal building. Sarah Hite

OUR OPINION: W-B NEIGHBORHOOD

City should join Meyers study now

proposal to close one of three high schools in the city now presents Mayor Tom Leighton an opportunity to demonstrate his leadership and concern for South Wilkes-Barre. The city would be ill-served to join the study of the proposed closing in midstream or weigh in only after it’s completed. Furthermore, Leighton probably could find someone from his professional staff who could not only represent the city’s interests, but also who could bring valuable knowledge and expertise to the process. In short: an asset, not just a token representative. Certainly, the school board faces a gargantuan challenge in trying to offset a nearly $3 million shortfall this budget season, and its members should be commended for exploring all options. And we applaud those directors with the courage to suggest something as politically charged as closing a school. And who knows? Closing Meyers might provide the school district with a way to save some money. But it could end up costing the people of the district much more. And that’s why the city needs to become part of the discussion now – before it’s too late.

HILE THE Wilkes-Barre Area School District ultimately remains responsible for the cost of operating E.L. Meyers High School, a decision to close the school would ripple through the South Wilkes-Barre neighborhood that has been its home for nearly three-quarters of a century. As such, the city of WilkesBarre should immediately become an active participant in any study designed to examine the possible closing of the school on Carey Avenue. At a meeting Wednesday night, the school board voted to begin such a study. Board members established a deadline of Jan. 12, 2012 to complete a report analyzing how the move would affect the school’s nearly 1,000 students and the district’s work force. The closing of an institution – a house of worship, hospital or school – can greatly impact a neighborhood and its residents. Critics of the city’s Leighton administration have long accused the mayor of placing the interests of the downtown business district ahead of the residential neighborhoods. The

OTHER OPINION: CORBETT CARS

Share sacrifice, ditch the SUVs

HEN IT COMES to the perks of office, being governor and lieutenant governor is a lot like sitting in Oprah Winfrey’s studio audience the day she’s handing out cars. For the last three months, Gov. Tom Corbett and Lt. Gov. Jim Cawley have been pushing austerity plans for the state. But a funny thing happened while the rest of us were tightening our belts. They were given the keys to two new Chevy Suburbans at a public cost of $53,000 each. Spouses Susan Corbett and Suzanne Cawley will get to use two 2011 Chevy Traverses that cost the state $40,000 each. A spokesman for Corbett insisted that the lucky quartet didn’t know that the state police, citing safety issues, would be issuing the new vehicles. The governor said Monday that he did not ask for them. In contrast to the happy pandemonium that followed Oprah’s car giveaways, Pennsyl-

vania taxpayers will be hopping mad to know they’re footing the $186,000 tab for the four Corbett SUVs. No one questions the need of the governor to have a safe and accommodating vehicle, and the high-mileage cars left by the Rendell administration were due for replacement. But was the answer a $53,000 SUV? Beyond that, were the other three vehicles necessary when educational spending is being slashed by $1 billion? Couldn’t a more sensible purchase have been made to prove that the governor’s call for “shared sacrifice” is not a one-way street? If Pennsylvanians are in these cuts together, everyone must bear their share – from Corbett on down. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Celebrating in a loving, dedicated university community EVERY YEAR college presidents strive to come up with something different to say to their graduating class. After addressing 12 graduating classes at Misericordia University, new ideas don’t come easy to me, so I instead shared with them a story about perseverance and consistency. As is the case with many universities, each year Misericordia holds a special get-together to acknowledge the superb students who benefit from established scholarships. The beneficiaries dine with their benefactors and, in turn, the students learn why these named scholarships were endowed. It’s a wonderful event. The students, as well as members of their families, are there to meet those people who care enough to give so that the students can attend college. As a result, genuine and long-lasting friendships oftentimes develop between the students and those who made their college educations possible. Our 2011 scholarship brunch was even more meaningful than usual because it recognized Freda Thalenfeld Popky who, at 103, is the sole living member of Misericordia’s first graduating class of 1928. Mrs. Popky’s family and the firm that her brother brought to Wilkes-Barre in 1982, Trion Industries, established a scholarship in Freda’s name. Mrs. Popky, a resident of Wilkes-Barre, received an honorary degree from Misericordia in 2007. She was overwhelmed by the admiration of the 300-plus students, family members, faculty and staff who attended this year’s brunch. Her school spirit has not waned a bit since her graduation 83 years ago. She talked enthusiastically with Pittston resident Megan Zelonis, Class of 2014, who

MICHAEL A. MACDOWELL holds the Freda Thalenfeld Popky Scholarship, and with Megan’s family. The campus tour Mrs. Popky received following the brunch was heartwarming. She marveled at the changes that have taken place at her Misericordia and, as she looked into the classrooms, she told everyone, “I want to go back to college.” Mrs. Popky was nearly a straight-A student in the studies of Latin, Greek and the classics in the mid-1920s. Later that same day, we welcomed one of our newest members to the Misericordia community. Lissenda, 4½, is the daughter of Jen Kates of Dallas, a junior biology major who is a participant in Misericordia University’s Women with Children Program. For 10 years, Misericordia has been providing free housing, child care assistance and program support for single mothers. Women students applying to the program must first be admitted academically into the university and then to the program. All are eligible for significant scholarship support. My wife, Tina, and I often see Jen and Lissenda, and other Women with Children participants and their children on campus. We also see them at the Pauly and Rasmussen Houses, the two homes dedicated to the program. It is in these two campus houses where the women and their children live in community, sharing daily household and child-rearing tasks. A number of other Misericordia students pitch in to help, and through our campus ministry, we offer babysitting

services on certain nights so the women can have intensive study time. Jen and Lissenda are regulars at Sunday night Mass, which is offered to Misericordia students. We were delighted to learn from Father Don Williams, our campus chaplain, that Jen had decided to seek the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults. After six weeks of extensive work and study, Jen and two other Misericordia students officially were welcomed into the Catholic Church with their First Holy Communion. What made the evening even more special was that Lissenda was baptized as part of our Sunday evening Mass. She is a cute little girl, who also has been adopted as a little sister by Misericordia’s 1,700 full-time students. It was a wonderful day. In the morning, we were fortunate to be with an alumna who still cares deeply about her alma mater. Mrs. Popky was raised in the Jewish tradition and as such represents the interfaith traditions that have been part of Misericordia since our Sisters of Mercy opened the institution of higher education. The day ended with us participating in the ceremony in which a single, young mother – who now has a new chance at a good life thanks to the support of a loving community and a dedicated university – takes the opportunity at our college Mass to join the Catholic Church and to also have her daughter baptized, making it a very special day indeed. Our graduating students and their families enjoyed this story. I hope you did, too.

ore than a month ago The Times Leader published my letter requesting a meeting with any elected officials – Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, Hanover Township, state Legislature, local school district or federal Department of Transportation – to talk about the severe traffic problems along South Main Street, aka Middle Road, running through the Askam sections of Hanover Township. To date, there has been almost no response. The bright side was state Rep. Jerry Mullery ’s interest in our cause. However, his telephone calls to PennDOT in Harrisburg apparently went unanswered. Imagine that! The residents living along this road have had it with these officials’ seeming lack of interest in helping to solve the problems. If you can’t, or won’t, do something, then resign so we can get someone who can produce results. Anyone with common sense can see the

problems that exist on this road can be helped with something as simple as a few strategically placed stop signs. But, PennDOT wants to use the excuse that a policy it uses for normal roads would apply to this very abnormal road, and stop signs can’t be used to control traffic. The department offers no solutions and kicks the issue back to Hanover Township, or tells us a new road is coming in, maybe, five years. What can we do? Can anyone help?

Reader believes unions work both ends of deals

read with amusement the article in The Times Leader about the judge who voided the Wisconsin union bargaining law (May 27). Marty Beil, executive director of the state’s largest public employee union, was quoted as saying: “It tells legislators, ‘You can’t be arrogant. You have to do it in the light of day. You can’t take stuff away from people in a backroom deal.’” It seems to me that millions of people did not want “Obamacare,” yet through “backroom deals,” it passed. Many unions were fully in favor of this health care law, yet more than 3,000 waivers have been granted, exempting groups from the law for a number of years, and many of these groups are the same unions that supported “Obamacare.” So, Mr. Beil, you can try, but you can’t have it both ways.

The company submitted land development plans related to the pipeline project in April under protest, and Brennan said Tuesday the company is also contesting the zoning approval requirements.

However, we plan to work with the township to understand its current position.” Zoning Officer Leonard Kozick said the township has never dealt with natural gas pipeline issues before, and it took some time to examine the ordinance to see what applied to the projects. He said each easement involved in the project would need individual zoning approval.

Finalists would decide if they want to continue in the selection process with the release of their names, he said. “In a lot of positions, it’s well known throughout the public who the top candidates are,” McGinley said.

Yankee righthander pitches complete game; Vazquez slams 20th home run.. By DAVE ROSENGRANT drosengrant@timesleader.com

MOOSIC – Adam Warren became the latest Yankee to have an unbeatable pitching performance.The righthander pitched all nine innings as Scranton/WilkesBarre received its fourth straight quality start. The difference between Warren’s outing and the previous three starters is that the 23-yearold received a victory. That’s beYANKEES cause the offense broke out of a mild slump to score more KNIGHTS than four runs for the first time since May 31 and banged out 12 hits en route to a 10-1 win over Charlotte Thursday night at PNC Field. While the offensive eruption was newsy, the story of the victory was Warren, who pitched a complete-game, six-hitter to pick up his fourth win of the season. He was very efficient with his pitches. only throwing 105 and through six innings he was only at 62 pitches. “It was one of those things where I was locating my pitches really well and obviously when the hitters give you run support it’s a lot easier,” Warren said. Warren made things look easy all night. He allowed a one-out single in the top of the first. And after that hit, he faced the minimum number of batters until the sixth. In the sixth, he got in a little trouble after a two-out walk – his only free pass issued – came around to score. Alejandro De Aza, who drew the walk, was the only Knight to get past second base. He then allowed a two-out double in the ninth and got Michael Restovich to ground out to end the game. Yankees manager Dave Miley said Restovich was Warren’s last hitter, but the starter wasn’t aware. His 27 outs consisted of 14 groundballs, seven strikeouts and six through the air. “I felt the clock ticking, but I wanted that really bad,” Warren said about the ninth. “That’s one of the things that’s atop of my list is getting a complete game.

Tunkhannock second baseman Alex Zaner gets the ball too late to put the tag on Mechanicsburg baserunner Ryan Greene in the bottom of the second inning of a PIAA quarterfinal game Thursday.

Rested Healey, Tigers roar into state semis

By DEREK LEVARSE dlevarse@timesleader.com

OREFIELD – They rested his right arm on Monday. The Tunkhannock Tigers reasoned that Mike Healey could use a break after pitching in the final three rounds of the district tournament. It gave him plenty of energy to throw one of the best games of his career and give the Tigers a 4-1 win over Mechanicsburg in the PIAA Class 3A quarterfinals on Thursday at Parkland High School. Tunkhannock (18-2) will now face District 11 champ Blue Mountain on Monday in the semifinals, with the time and site likely to be announced today. The winner of that contest will advance to the state championship game at 1 p.m. on

June 17 at Penn State’s Lubrano Park in State TUNKHANNOCK College. On Thursday, Healey struck out 10, retired 15 MECHANICSBURG batters in a row headed into the seventh inning and finished off a complete-game three-hitter for his third win of the postseason. “Another gem by Healey,” Tigers coach Gary Custer said. “That kid, he just keeps getting stronger and stronger as the season goes on. We’re throwing the belly right out of him and he just keeps coming back for more and more.” Coupled with a one-hitter in his last start -- a six-inning shutout of West Scranton in

the District 2 Class 3A championship game last Thursday – the the UConn-bound righthander is in the midst of his best stretch of baseball in his life. “It’s got to be,” Healey said. “I feel awesome.” It showed. After giving up a two-out single in the first inning and back-to-back base hits to lead off the second, Healey shut the door on the District 3 champion Wildcats from there. Following that third hit against him, which came with no outs in the second, Healey proceeded to send down the next 15 batters he faced. See TIGERS, Page 4B

OPINION PAUL NEWBERRY

This time dress code’s in violation LOOKING TO GET stronger, Kulsoom Abdullah took up weightlifting a couple of years ago. She quickly grew to love the male-dominated sport, entering local competitions and even allowing herself to dream of one day making it to the Olympics. She’d like to see how far this passion might take her, but not if it means compromising her religious beliefs. Seems perfectly reasonable. Yet Abdullah, a 35-year-old Atlantan, has been barred from entering the U.S. senior nationals in Iowa next month. The problem: Her Muslim faith requires that she cover her arms, legs and head — which vio“I’d hate lates internato think tional rules governing that just weightlifting because attire. “I’d hate to you dress a think that just certain because you dress a certain way, you way, you can’t can’t parparticipate in ticipate in sports,” Abdullah said sports.” Thursday. “I Kulsoom don’t want Abdullah other women who dress like me to say, ‘I can’t get involved in that sport’ and get discouraged. It would be nice to have an environment where it wouldn’t be an issue of how you dress or having different beliefs and faiths.” She’s right. It’s time for sports to show the rest of society how to bridge the gap between legitimate concerns and religious tolerance. “What we hear all the time is, ‘You’ve got to empower Muslim women around the world,”’ said Ibrahim Hooper, a spokesman for the Council on AmericanIslamic Relations, which has taken up Abdullah’s cause. “Well, how can you empower a Muslim woman more than being a weightlifter? She should be encouraged and helped along in this process. There shouldn’t be arbitrary roadblocks placed in her path.” Abdullah got a bit of good news Thursday when USA Weightlifting agreed to take her case to the IWF later this month. This, of course, is a bigger issue than any one sport, any single athlete. We’ve seen virulent protests erupt over plans to build an Islamic center near the site of the World Trade Center in New York. We’ve heard Muslims complain about being singled out in France, where authorities have tried to enforce the nation’s secular foundations with a ban on burqa-style veils. It’s an ongoing struggle in sports, too — with some compromise, but not nearly enough. Muslim women have competed in track and field wearing neck-to-ankle bodysuits and the traditional headscarf known as a hijab, most notably Roqaya Al-Gassra of Bahrain, who made it to the semifinals of the 200 meters at the Beijing Olympics. Then again, Iran’s female soccer team recently had to forfeit an Olympic qualifier match in Jordan because the players wanted to wear Islamic head scarves. International governing body FIFA, which hasn’t exactly come across as the most upstanding institution in recent weeks, defended its decision by saying the scarves See NEWBERRY, Page 4B

The Milwaukee Brewers’ Rickie Weeks, top, takes the late throw as the New York Mets’ Jose Reyes steals second base in the eighth inning of a game on Wednesday in Milwaukee.

Niese helps Mets brew up a victory

Braves 3, Marlins 2

MIAMI — Jair Jurrjens threw seven solid innings and drove in a run and the Atlanta Braves handed the Florida Marlins their eighth straight loss with a 3-2 victory Thursday night. Alex Gonzalez also drove in a run with a double to help the Braves complete a three-game sweep at Sun Life Stadium for

the first time since May 2-4, 1995. The Marlins’ eight-game losing streak is their longest skid since also dropping eight in a row Aug. 15-22, 2007. Diamondbacks 2, Pirates 0

PITTSBURGH — Chris Young hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning, four Arizona pitchers combined for a five-hit shutout and the Diamondbacks beat Pittsburgh to snap a threegame losing streak. Young pulled a 2-0 pitch from Chris Resop (2-2) down the left-field line just inside the foul pole for his 12th homer of the season. Reliever Micah Owings (2-0) legged out a one-out infield single before Young’s hit. HOUSTON — Lance Berkman broke a tie with an RBI single and pinch-hitter Daniel Descalso had a two-run double in St. Louis’ five-run sixth in the Cardinals’ 9-2 victory over the Houston Astros on Thursday night. Berkman, the former Astro who hit a solo homer to break up Bud Norris’ no-hit bid in the seventh inning in the Cardinals’ 4-1 loss Wednesday night, snapped a 1-1 tie with a single off the scoreboard in left after Jon Jay singled and Albert Pujols drew a walk off J.A. Happ (3-8).

Francoeur has 2 RBI; Royals beat Blue Jays KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jeff Francoeur drove in two runs, helping Luke Hochevar win for the first time in seven starts, and the Kansas City Royals survived Joakim Soria’s shaky ninth to beat the Toronto Blue Jays 3-2 on Thursday. Soria, reclaiming the closer role he lost May 30 after backto-back blown saves, loaded the bases in the ninth but got his eighth save in 13 opportunities. Edwin Encarnacion and pinch hitter Juan Rivera hit one-out singles off the twotime All-Star, then Mike McCoy, after being down 0-2, drew his fourth walk of the day to load the bases with two out. But Soria got Corey Patterson on an infield popup, giving the Royals their fifth win in 19 games. Hochevar (4-6) allowed two runs in the fourth but nothing else in seven innings. Tigers 4, Mariners 1

DETROIT (AP) — Alex Avila hit two triples twice and Justin Verlander pitched eight strong innings as the Detroit Tigers beat the Seattle Mariners 4-1 on Thursday night. Verlander (7-3) struck out a season-best 10 while allowing one run on five hits. He is 5-0

St. Louis ....................................... Milwaukee .................................... Cincinnati...................................... Pittsburgh..................................... Chicago ........................................ Houston ........................................

in his last seven starts with a 2.14 ERA, and received a standing ovation from the crowd of 22,090 while returning to the dugout after the eighth. White Sox 9, Athletics 4

CHICAGO — Adam Dunn and Paul Konerko each hit two-run homers and the Chicago White Sox spoiled the debut of Oakland interim manager Bob Melvin, beating the Athletics. Melvin replaced Bob Geren earlier in the day, but the change couldn’t keep Oakland from its 10th straight defeat. Twins 5, Rangers 4

MINNEAPOLIS — Alexi Casilla laced a single to left field to drive in the winning run with two outs in the ninth and lift the Minnesota Twins to a victory over the Texas Rangers on a windy, chilly night at Target Field. Jim Hoey (1-2) finished the ninth for the win. Luke Hughes led off the ninth with a double off Mark Lowe (1-0) that a fan picked up before the Rangers could play it. They complained, to no avail. Arthur Rhodes came in to get the second out, but Casilla hit an opposite-field line drive that was plenty deep enough for Hughes to score.

NOTES

S TA N D I N G S

MILWAUKEE — Jonathon Niese pitched effectively into the eighth and the New York Mets took two of three games against the best home team in the majors with a 4-1 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday night. Niese (4-6) retired the first 11 Brewers hitters and only allowed an RBI double to Prince Fielder in the fourth and singles in the seventh and eighth. He matched a career high with eight strikeouts. The Mets roughed up Brewers ace Yovani Gallardo (8-3) to snap his six-game winning streak. Gallardo allowed 10 hits and didn’t get an out in the fifth. Francisco Rodriguez recorded the final four outs for his 18th save of the season. New York won the series opener, but blew a four-run, eighth-inning lead on Wednesday night.

Chamberlain has a torn elbow ligament The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Yankees reliever Joba Chamberlain has a torn ligament in his right elbow, a startling injury that’s likely to require Tommy John surgery and end his season. A test Thursday morning revealed the tear. It came a day after New York put Chamberlain on the 15-day disabled list with a stiff elbow, the latest setback for the back of the Yankees’ bullpen. But Chamberlain and the Yankees said they had no idea the injury was so severe when he went for the additional checkup. Chamberlain said he was “kind of in shock” and shed a few tears at the diagnosis, and said he didn’t know how or when he hurt himself. “I know I can get surgery and get it fixed,” he said. The Yankees said they would send reports on Chamberlain to noted orthopedist Dr. James Andrews. Chamberlain, Andrews and the Yankees plan to discuss the condition before deciding on a course of action. While Chamberlain spoke on the Yankees bench before Thursday night’s game against Boston, his father sat in his wheelchair outside the New York dugout. Harlan Chamberlain said it was “kind of a foregone conclusion” his son would need Tommy John surgery, in which a ligament is reconstructed in an elbow. The recovery time is usually listed as 12 to 18 months, though Harlan Chamberlain said he thought it could be 8 to 9 months for a reliever. “He’s done for the season,” his dad said. “Now that he’s facing what every pitcher doesn’t want to face, he’s going to face it with a positive attitude. Let’s get it done.” Said Yankees manager Joe Girardi: “My guess is he’s going to have to have the surgery.” The 25-year-old Chamberlain is 2-0 with a 2.83 ERA in 27 games. The hard-throwing righty has been a key member of the Yankees’ staff for several years, and has pitched in a variety of roles. The Yankees already were missing setup man Rafael Soriano, out with inflammation in his right elbow. He led the AL in saves last year with Tampa Bay, and there’s no timetable for his return. Lefty specialist Pedro Feliciano has not pitched this year because of a tear in his shoulder. Girardi said David Robertson would inherit the role as setup man for closer Mariano Rivera. The Yankees went into the day trying to avoid a Red Sox sweep — Boston won the first two games of the series, dropping New York into second place in the AL East. Athletics fire manager Bob Geren OAKLAND, Calif. — The Oakland Athletics fired manager Bob Geren on Thursday in the midst of a nine-game losing streak that has sent them tumbling to the bottom of the AL West standings. Former Arizona manager Bob Melvin will take over for the rest of the season as interim manager in the first midseason managerial change for the organization in a quarter century. Geren’s four-plus season tenure at the helm in Oakland was marked by numerous injuries, a lack of offense and high-profile departures as he was unable to post a winning season after taking over an AL West championship team from Ken Macha. Geren posted a 334-376 record, including a 27-36 mark this season that has left Oakland eight games behind Texas in the AL West. The A’s currently have four starting pitchers on the disabled list, including a season-ending shoulder injury for Dallas Braden. Oakland also was without injured All-Star closer Andrew Bailey for the first two months and is last in the American League with just 223 runs through the first 63 games.

NBA FINALS NOTEBOOK

Champion to be crowned in South Beach, not Big D By STEPHEN HAWKINS AP Sports Writer

DALLAS — The Miami Heat won’t be celebrating an NBA title on the Dallas Mavericks’ home court this time. Like the 2006 NBA finals between the teams, they split the first four games this year to guarantee a Game 6. “Been here before, right?” Mavericks president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson said. Unlike five years ago, this series will end in Miami. After Game 5 in Dallas on Thursday night, it’s back to Miami for Game 6 on Sunday, then Game 7 on Tuesday, if necessary. Dallas won the first two games at home last time, then Miami won four straight games — all three of their games at home before returning to Dallas for the Game 6 clincher. “Five years of bearing some serious cross. It’s hard to put that into words. That’s why this moment is so special and why people who’ve been there under-

ously is the reason why. Coach stand — Jason Kidd, Dirk, Jet (Rick) Carlisle has obviously and right down the list,” Nelson said. “In the West, we could be ... tremendously prepared for this moment. To a man, we’re much getting bounced in the first better with our talent and then round the next three years. mentally tougher.” That’s how tough it is out here. Only twice have four games in So to be in this position and to be where we were five years ago and an NBA finals ended with a margin of three points or less, in the to have the same opportunity, 1957 and 1958 series matching you can’t script that kind of sitthe Boston Celtics and St. Louis uation.

SINUS APPRECIATION: Mavericks president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson spent three days in a hospital and couldn’t fly for a month when he had a sinus infection. Dirk Nowitzki played with one in Game 4 of the NBA finals, scoring 10 of his 21 points in the fourth quarter along with the game-clinching basket. Nelson was working for Phoenix at the time of his ailment. He already had one sinus infected before the pressure of flying to Miami affected 71⁄2 of his eight sinuses. “All of a sudden, I walked in my room and the room was spinning. I called the trainer. They took me to the emergency room, and they took a CAT scan. They showed me the CAT scan. The doctor told me, ‘If you’d have gone up in one more airplane, it would’ve gotten into your brain and you would’ve been sayonara,”’ Nelson recalled this week. “I thought sinuses were just, the wimps in high school get that. I didn’t know it was that serious. I

had a new respect for sinuses after that.” That certainly gives Nelson a different appreciation for what Nowitzki did in the NBA finals against the Miami Heat. “I couldn’t fly for like a full month after that. My mom, in her station wagon, she goes from Milwaukee down there because when the doctor tells you one more flight up and it’s sayonara, that catches the attention, right?” Nelson said. “She drove the Griswold family station wagon, with the wood side paneling, picked me up in Miami and drove me all the way to Phoenix. That’s real love right there.” PITTMAN’S MOMENT: Chances are, Dexter Pittman will not play for Miami in these finals. He’s only appeared in two games all season. But the rookie, a Texas native who played at the University of Texas, has already had a welcome-to-the-finals moment. Pittman was in the gym at the team’s hotel this week — and Magic Johnson was working out

next to him. On his Twitter feed, Pittman posted, “Man if u told me a year ago ill be doing a bike work out ... next to the great Magic johnson ill tell u ur a fool.” Pittman is one of the Heat’s more prolific tweeters — plus is the team’s youngest player, as evidenced by something he tweeted after the workout, when he announced that he was at a toy store. FREE THROWS: Miami guard Mike Bibby hit the century mark in Game 5 on Thursday night. It was his 100th NBA playoff game, all of them starts. ... In the first four games of the NBA finals, Dirk Nowitzki scored 49 percent of Dallas’ points (44 of 90) in the fourth quarter. He had the final points for Dallas in Games 2 and 4, and missed a tying shot at the end of Game 3. ... For Miami, Dwyane Wade scored 30 of Miami’s 80 fourth-quarter points, while LeBron James had only nine. Nowitzki scored 10 in the fourth quarter of Game 4 when dealing with a sinus infection.

Double-amputee Pistorius tries new strategy in 400

The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Double-amputee sprinter Oscar Pistorius used to try to run the second half of the 400 meters faster than the first. On his carbon-fiber blades, he gets off to slower starts than his able-bodied competitors, so that strategy seemed to make sense. “That’s for the last three years just left me at 46 seconds,” South Africa’s “Blade Runner” said Thursday. He needs a 45.25 to post the “A” qualifying time for this

Ramiro Pena and Greg Golson also had a multiple hit game for the Yankees with two hits each. “You figured that soon Vazqy was going to cool off a little bit (after a torrid start to the season) but that’s why it’s important that other guys pitch in,” Miley said. “They’ve been getting better atbats but it doesn’t always show in the stats. Overall, it was a good night and the guys took advantage of opportunities and came

Montero is second in the voting only behind Lehigh Valley’s Erik Kratz. Seven IronPigs lead at their respective position for the event in Salt Lake City, Utah on July 13. Other Yankees in the top five at their respective position are first baseman Jorge Vazquez, shortstop Ramiro Pena and third baseman Brandon Laird (fourth) and closer Kevin Whelan (third). Voting ends June 24. Hector Noesi officially joined the SWB bullpen on Thursday after being optioned back down from New York Wednesday. To make room for the righty, Tim Norton, who earned the win on Wednesday, was placed on the disabled list. Noesi had two stints with New York this season going 1-0 with a 1.76 ERA (3 earned

issues to address. And Iran’s youth team already had been allowed to take the field last year at a major Olympic-style event wearing specially designed caps that protected their modesty. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad weighed in the latest row, describing FIFA as “dictators and colonialists who want to impose their lifestyle on others.” As tough as this is to say, the open-collared despot is right about this one. Every religion has its own peculiarities, which might seem odd to those on the outside but are perfectly reasonable to the faithful. Stifling religious tradi-

tions and practices is a very slippery slope indeed, one that sport should make every effort to avoid. Of course, there are rules that might run afoul of a particular religion but legitimately prevent someone from gaining an unfair advantage. For instance, swimming has banned high-tech bodysuits that led to a rash of world records, ruling they compromised the integrity of the sport. These days, females can only wear shoulder-to-knee suits that leave their arms and lower legs exposed. If a Muslim women wanted to wear a full-coverage swim suit on

religious grounds, she would clearly have an advantage in the pool. Abdullah isn’t trying to gain any sort of competitive edge, however. She merely wants to abide by her beliefs when she’s snatching a bar full of weights above her head. When first starting out, she was allowed to enter local meets wearing garb that made her comfortable on the inside and out: Loose-fitting exercise pants, a tight-fitting long-sleeve shirt with a T-shirt over it, and the head scarf. As she attempted to move up to higher-level competitions, she

Jorge Vazquez hit a sacrifice fly to score Pilittere. Brandon Laird grounded out. YANKEES 10-1

The only other baserunner Mechanicsburg (19-6) managed the rest of the way came in the bottom of the seventh, when Healey plunked the leadoff man. Four Tunkhannock hitters had been hit by a pitch in the final two frames before that. Healey said the break he got from not pitching in the first round of states paid off Thursday. Custer elected to go with sophomore Chase Knott to start, using Bryson Reeves and Mike Papi out of the bullpen to close out an 11-7 win over Jersey Shore. “That was a huge help,” Healey said. “The last three games I threw on short rest. It just felt great to get a nice rest on my arm.” And the offense did enough in support, erasing an early 1-0 deficit. The Tigers, aggressive on the basepaths all season, used it to their advantage in the top of the fourth to claim a lead they wouldn’t give back. Mike Papi and Healey led off the frame with singles and advanced to second and third on a wild pitch with Rich Condeelis batting. Condeelis then hit a sacrifice fly to center to bring home Papi, with courtesy runner Randy Thompson breaking for third on the throw to the plate. The ensuran up against International Weightlifting Federation rules, which forbid suits that cover either the knees or elbows because judges must be able to see that both have been locked out to complete a lift. OK, that’s understandable. But Abdullah said a tight-fitting shirt allows judges to get a good look at her elbows. And, if it meant ensuring a level playing field, she’d certainly be willing to wear a leg covering that conforms to her religion but allows the judges to determine whether she’s completed a lift. Considering all the advances in athletic apparel, that shouldn’t be a major issue.

year’s world championships. So before this season, he and his coach decided he needed to push harder on that first 200. “He just said, ‘If you want to run times that are competitive and 45 seconds, you can’t be scared of that first 200. You just have to go out and work,”’ Pistorius recalled. He ran a 45.61 in March, leaving him encouraged he could shave off the final 0.36 seconds. But Pistorius got sick in late May and has been disappointed by his last few results. ing throw to third sailed into the outfield, allowing Thompson to score for a 2-1 Tigers lead. “We’ve been working on that since I got the job -- be aggressive on the bases,” Custer said. “And it’s finally paying dividends.” Tunkhannock got some much-needed insurance in the top of the seventh. Papi smacked a deep drive off the wall in right to score Kyle Custer to make it 3-1. Wes Custer then brought home another run when he was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. The game was delayed nearly two hours when strong thunderstorms struck the Allentown area just before both teams were set to take the field for warmups. Both squads had begun filing into their respective dugouts when lightning forced players and coaches back to their buses. Heavy rain followed, but the field held up well in the downpour and didn’t cause any problems during the contest.

If the IWF agrees to alter its rules, she might still get a chance to do some snatches and cleanand-jerks at next month’s national meet. While she’s not yet lifting at an Olympic level, she hasn’t given up on that dream. “She’s not seeking any kind of advantage. She’s seeking to maintain her religious principles,” Hooper said. “In an atmosphere of goodwill, these things can always be resolved.” Seems perfectly reasonable.

Shackleford looking for respect in the Belmont Skeptics question colt’s ability to carry speed, but trainer Romans disagrees.

‘Thirsty’ subs for Uncle Mo The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Uncle Mo couldn’t make it, so owner Mike Repole will settle for Stay Thirsty as his first Belmont Stakes horse. Stay Thirsty is one of the outsiders, 20-1 on the morning line following a pair of poor efforts in the Florida Derby and the Kentucky Derby. That didn’t deter Repole, who has long dreamed of having a horse in the race. “Growing up in New York, and going to Aqueduct and Belmont 100 times before I was 17, this is what it’s about. I always say one win in New York N O T E B O O K is like 10 wins anywhere else. The Belmont Stakes is the biggest race in New York. This is the pinnacle. When I was 13, this was the race I dreamed about, and to be in this position 29-30 years later, it’s just a great feeling.” Repole believed Uncle Mo, last season’s 2-year-old champion, would be the one to take him here. Uncle Mo was on target for the Kentucky Derby, only to be scratched the day before the race with an infected liver. Uncle Mo is recuperating at a farm in Kentucky, giving Repole hope the colt can return to the races later this year. “He gained 83 pounds in 31⁄2 weeks, his blood work is getting better, his energy is improving,” Repole said. “He will go into light training probably in two weeks. In a perfect world he’ll come back here sometime in mid July, but as we saw before the Derby, there are no guarantees in this game.” Repole realizes the liver problem might be chronic. If that is the case, Uncle Mo will be retired to stud duty. That leaves the beverage executive who sold Glaceau, the maker of Vitaminwater, to Coca Cola for a reported $4.1 billion in 2007, with Stay Thirsty. “I’m going to definitely enjoy the moment and this has been such a wide open year in a very average crop,” Repole said. “It seems like every race, a $40 horse wins so why doesn’t Stay Thirsty have a good enough shot as anybody else?” Stay Thirsty won the Gotham Stakes at Aqueduct in early March. It was his first stakes victory, and only the second win of his career in seven starts. Javier Castellano will be aboard. MISSING For the first time since 1993, the Hall of Fame trio of trainers D. Wayne Lukas, Bob Baffert and Nick Zito will not have a horse in the Belmont. They have combined to win seven Belmonts since then — Lukas leading the way with four. Zito has won twice and Baffert once. Of the 12 trainers in this year’s race, only Todd Pletcher owns a Belmont win: the 2007 edition when the filly Rags to Riches beat Curlin, the eventual Horse of the Year, by a head. Stay Thirsty will be the 11th Belmont runner for Pletcher, the five-time Eclipse Award winner as the nation’s leading trainer. Half of the 12 trainers will be making their Belmont debuts: Doodnauth Shivmangal, Kathy Ritvo, Kelly Breen, Eddie Kenneally, Ignacio Correas IV and Aiden O’Brien. TOO HOT Belmont officials called off the Thursday card because of the extreme conditions with the heat index expected to top 100 degrees. The soaring temperatures did not affect morning training as the Belmont horses went through their normal paces. It should get cooler from here. Strong thunderstorms are forecast for late Thursday, bringing a wet Friday with top temperatures in the 80s. Saturday could be wet and cool for the Belmont. The outlook calls for a cloudy day with showers and temperatures in the low 70s. TUNED IN NBC and it’s affiliated networks will offer 61⁄2 hours of Belmont coverage, starting with a preview show at 4 p.m. (ET) Friday on VERSUS. Primary race coverage will be on NBC starting at 5 p.m. (ET). This is NBC’s return to the Belmont. It last carried the race from 2001-05.

work they did. A lot stay the same, but he keeps getting better.” After Wednesday’s post position draw, when Shackleford landed the outside No. 12 gate, more doubters emerged. “I would not have wanted to be in 1 or 12,” Animal Kingdom’s trainer Graham Motion said. “The 12 is right by the grandstand. I’m happy he is in the 12. It will make him work a little bit.” To that, Romans replied: “He’ll be the last one in and the first one out. He’s fast enough that he’ll be able to break and clear everyone anyway.” At 11⁄2 miles, the Belmont is the longest and most grueling test a 3-year-old will face. It’s a distance horses have yet to run, and are

unlikely to do so again. Pedigree reveals which horses are bred for distance, and that’s likely why Animal Kingdom’s owner Barry Irwin is ignoring Shackleford — the son of a sire known for producing sprinters. “I can’t see a horse by Forestry going a mile-and-a-half,” Irwin said after volunteering that he wasn’t worried about Shackleford. That’s OK with Romans. Pedigree notwithstanding, he’s figuring Shackleford will set a moderate pace and then try to hold off his 11 rivals. The plan nearly worked in the Derby, and worked to perfection in the Preakness. Front-runners have had their moments in the Belmont. The sprinter Bold Forbes won in 1976 by controlling the pace and holding on for dear life in the stretch, and more recently it was 38-1 shot Da’ Tara going wire-to-wire in 2008 and spoiling Big Brown’s

On Saturday, the pressure will be on Shackleford’s jockey Jesus Castanon to strike the right balance. “We may have gone too slow in the Derby because it allowed everyone to come home so fast and then we couldn’t hang on,” Romans said. “The Preakness was totally different. We went fast and then they struggled a little bit at the end and we still had stamina left to finish.” After the Fountain of Youth, even Romans had his doubts about Shackleford’s potential. Two weeks after losing by 231⁄2 lengths, Shackleford showed Romans that is might be worth it to try the big boys in the Florida Derby on April 3. “He was training so well, he deserved another chance, and I’m glad we gave it to him,” Romans said. “He got a chance to redeem himself.”

PSU’s Sanderson to make bid for another Olympics

Penn State’s national championship winning wrestling coach Cael Sanderson has his sights set on another title he can call all his own, according to Sports Illustrated’s website. SI.com reported early this week that the former Olympic champion is planning on making a bid for the 2012 games in London. Sanderson, who was inducted into the wrestling Hall of Fame on Wednesday, will wrestle up to seven matches at the U.S. World Team Trials in Oklahoma City Saturday. If he win his 185½-pound weight class, he’ll represent the U.S. at the world championships in Istanbul in September. A medal there and it will be off to Olympic trials in Iowa City next year.

Penn State adds former Navy assistant to staff

Penn State coach Patrick Chambers has added former Navy assistant Eugene Burroughs to the Nittany Lions staff. Burroughs was most recently associate head coach at Navy, where he had worked for seven years under former Navy head coach Billy Lange. Chambers and Burroughs both have ties to Villanova coach Jay Wright. Chambers was an assistant to Wright with the Wildcats from 2004-8, while Burroughs was an assistant for Wright at Hofstra in the late 1990s. Chambers and Burroughs also played prep ball together at Episcopal Academy in suburban Philadelphia. It’s been a hectic first week for Chambers since being hired June 3 by Penn State. Chambers spent the past few days on the road visiting his new players before returning to campus Thursday.

Vancouver looking to bounce back By GREG BEACHAM AP Sports Writer

BOSTON — Although Roberto Luongo is receiving much of the blame for Vancouver’s two-game meltdown in Boston during the Stanley Cup finals, the Canucks refuse to allow their goalie to take the heat alone. Most of the 12 goals he allowed in just over five periods weren’t his fault, defenseman Kevin Bieksa claimed. Luongo might have been pulled from a crucial Game4,butthestargoaliewillgethimself together in time for Game 5 tonight, captain Henrik Sedin promised. If only the Canucks had provided that much support to Luongo on the ice, maybe they wouldn’t be headed home with their series lead completely evaporated. “These were the same questions Boston got after they lost two games, and they found a way,” Sedin said. “We need to do the same thing.” No matter what spin is applied by the Canucks, Boston goalie Tim Thomas has thoroughly outplayed his fellow Vezina Trophy nominee through four games in the finals, which are even heading back to Vancouver. While no goalie bears sole responsibility for his play, even Vancouver’s most faithful fans realize Luongo is struggling after allowing seven goals on the last 23 shots he faced in Boston. Luongo reportedly was jeered by the crowds at public game-watching parties back in Vancouver when coach Alain Vig-

neault finally pulled him from Game 4 early in the third period. Luongo was fidgety and quiet afterward, clearly eager to get away from Boston and hoping his blue home jersey will help restore what he lacked. “We have two out of three with homeice advantage, and that’s what we’ve worked for all season,” Luongo said. The Canucks needed just one win to earn the chance to parade the Cup around home ice. Now they’ll need to win Game 5 just to stop the Bruins’ impressive momentum behind Thomas, who looks increasingly unbeatable after giving up one goal in two home games. He posted his third shutout of the playoffs in the Bruins’ 4-0 victory in Game 4, and has quieted doubters of his aggressive style with a preposterous 1.26 goals-

against average and a .966 save percentage in the finals, stopping 141 of 146 shots in four games. “I felt like that for a lot of this year,” Thomas said. “I have felt so good in the finals so far. I’m just going to keep doing the same thing that I’ve been doing to try to have the same success that I’ve had. Between games, I try to get as much rest as I possibly can and keep my body as maintained as possible.” For the third consecutive season, the

Reggie Bush’s copy of his 2005 Heisman Trophy currently is in the possession of a San Diego sports museum, but is not on display. Angela LaChica, a vice president at the San Diego Hall of Champions, says the hall received the trophy from the family in March but never displayed it and now is in the process of getting it back in the hands of Bush’s family. The Heisman Trust no longer recognizes Bush as the winner of the award. Bush relinquished his title to it after an NCAA probe concluded that the former Southern California star and his family accepted improper benefits from would-be sports agents while Bush was still playing for USC. The same probe also led the Bowl Championship Series to vacate USC’s 2004 BCS national title. NFL

Hawaii governor: Money wasted on Pro Bowl

HONOLULU — Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie says it’s “so stupid” that the cash-strapped state pays millions to host the Pro Bowl when the money could be used for education. Abercrombie said Thursday he opposes a deal the state made in 2009 to pay $4 million per game for the rights to host the NFL’s all-star game this and next year. The first-year Democratic governor and former longtime congressman says the NFL can ship the game to Miami if it continues to require Hawaii to pay to keep it in the islands. He says the Pro Bowl can stay in Hawaii, but the government shouldn’t use precious taxpayer dollars to entice the NFL to continue holding it at Aloha Stadium.

home teams have won the first four games of the Stanley Cup finals — but the Canucks have no time to lament their scoring drought or Luongo’s crisis of confidence. If Vancouver can’t recover from a disastrous trip to Boston before Friday night,ThomasandthesurgingBruinsjust might steamroll them on the way to a title. “I think we’re giving Thomas too much respect,” Bieksa said. “He’s leaky. Pucks go through him. We’ve seen it all year. We just need to put more pucks on him.”

David Mathis watches his tee shot on the seventh hole during the first round of the St. Jude Classic golf tournament, on Thursday,, in Memphis, Tenn. Mathis finished the first day at 5-under.

Martin grabs St. Jude Classic lead The Associated Press

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — David Mathis matched his best round ever on the PGA Tour, shooting a 5-under 65 Thursday to grab the opening round lead at the St. Jude Classic. Mathis jumped to the top of the leaderboard late in the day, finishing with six birdies and one late bogey. He is back on the PGA Tour for a second time thanks to finishing 13th on the Nationwide Tour money list last year. Robert Karlsson, who lost a fourhole playoff here a year ago, shot a 66 and was tied with John Merrick, Kris Blanks, Kevin Kisner and Colt Knost. Keegan Bradley and Fabian Gomez each had 67s. Bradley is among the few here who could play their way into the U.S. Open by winning at the TPC Southwind for a second tour victory since the last Open. Bradley won the Byron Nelson Championship two weeks ago. Retief Goosen and Boo Weekley were among a group with 68s. Defending champion Lee Westwood opened with a 69. The 37-year-old Mathis has been playing golf since turning pro in 1997 after leaving Campbell University. He started playing mini tours and was on the Canadian tour before switching to the Nationwide circuit. He first joined the PGA Tour in 2009 when he posted a pair of top-25 finishes, including a tie for 23rd in Memphis. But he wound up back on the Nationwide Tour last year. St. Jude, sponsored by FedEx, is his 14th event on the PGA Tour this year with five

missed cuts. The native of Winston-Salem, N.C., credited a visit with his coach Patrick Kelley this week for helping straighten out his line when putting. He noticed the difference almost immediately when he started on the back nine and rolled in a 9-footer to save par. Then he added a birdie putt on the par-3 No. 11 from just inside 19 feet, plus 8-footers for birdies on Nos. 13 and 16. He had a 15-footer for birdie on No. 2 from a fairway bunker to join the pack tied at 4 under. Mathis had the lead to himself when he hit a wedge on the par-5 No. 3 to within 13 feet, then made another birdie. He padded his advantage with a four-footer on No. 5 for his sixth birdie. His lone bogey came on No. 8, when he three-putted from within 8 feet. Karlsson started off the front nine with three birdies on his first six holes. But the Swede hit his tee shot on the par-4 No. 13 into a fairway bunker and wound up bogeying the hole to fall back to 2 under. He got the stroke back with a birdie on the par-3 No. 14, rolling in from 18 feet. He also had a 19-footer for birdie on No. 15, but came up a couple feet short. Merrick has made six of eight cuts this year, with his best finish a tie for 11th at Puerto Rico. He took advantage of an early tee time to take the early clubhouse lead. He said the key Thursday was hitting shots closer to the hole.

“It’s definitely been something that’s been hurting me,” he said. “I’ve been hitting greens but not really getting it close. Today I hit some good shots and had some decent looks at birdies that were inside 10 feet.” Kisner is a rookie in his 13th event on tour this season. He started this tournament with only his fourth round in the 60s this year, taking advantage of a morning tee time with little wind. The South Carolina native who went to the University of Georgia hasn’t finished better than a tie for 39th, and Kisner said his biggest challenge is learning the courses.

Kim shoots 64 to take lead SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Mindy Kim shot a career-low 64 to take a twostroke lead after the first round lead of the LPGA State Farm Classic on Thursday. Sarah Kemp and Jiyai Shin were tied for second at 6-under at the Panther Creek Country Club. Brittany Lincicome, last week’s winner at the ShopRite Classic in Galloway Township, N.J., birdied the final hole to finish at 67 and in a tie for fourth with Yani Tseng and Juli Inkster. Kim’s round featured birdies on Nos. 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 before a bogey on the par-4 9th for a 32 on the front nine. She matched in on the back stretch with birdies on 11, 12, 14 and 17. Kemp had three birdies and a bogey on the front nine and four on the back in her morning round. Shin birdied four of her last six holes.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Titans haven’t seen much of rookie quarterback Jake Locker. That’s not stopping his new teammates from thinking the eighth pick overall could be their starter whenever the NFL starts playing again. Locker worked out with his new teammates Thursday in a second straight player-organized minicamp at a local high school as the NFL lockout continues. He’s made a sizeable impression on Tennessee veterans in just two days, including Thursday when he completed 8 of 12 passes. “He is a great football player. I can see it already,” Titans left guard Leroy Harris said. “The sooner we get back to practices, he is going to become the overall leader. I think physically he is ready (to start). All he has to do is make sure he learns the plays. He has all the tools to be our franchise quarterback.” The 6-foot-3, 231-pound Locker spoke with reporters Wednesday but politely declined to talk Thursday when about 40 Titans worked out for nearly two hours at Father Ryan High. Locker has spent the last 10 days in Nashville staying with wide receiver Damian Williams and working out at local high school and college fields. Locker was expected to return to his home state of Washington later Thursday. Most of Locker’s passes were quick, short tosses. When he went downfield a couple times, the passes were incomplete. His second throw of more than 20 yards went high and deflected off Williams’ hands as the receiver going into his second year as a pro took the blame for dropping the pass. While praise was high for Locker, veteran wide receiver Nate Washington was a little more hesitant in his evaluation. “He has a nice arm on him, but it will be a different story when the coaches get out here, critiquing, get him going about it,” Washington said. “Then that is when we will really be able to assess him. I don’t really think you can step out here on this little practice and know whether he is going to be the greatest or not going to be good at all. The best thing we have with Jake is the mindset that he is comfortable us. He is coming in here knowing that he is supposed to be here.” Locker, Rusty Smith and Brett Ratliff all took snaps at quarterback. Smith will enter his second year with the team, and the sixth-round pick is the only other quarterback currently on the roster with Locker. The Titans plan to cut ties with Vince Young once the lockout concludes either by trading him or simply releasing him. Veteran Kerry Collins could return to help mentor Locker, but retirement after 17 seasons may be a stronger option for the 38-year-old veteran.

Cronan to oversee Vol sports Longtime women’s athletic director replaces Mike Hamilton, who resigned.

By BETH RUCKER AP Sports Writer

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee has announced new changes in its athletic department with a familiar face leading the transition. The university will merge the men’s and women’s athletics departments and longtime women’s AD Joan Cronan will serve as the interim director. She was named the interim vice chancellor and director of athletics, overseeing all sports, Chancellor Jimmy Cheek said. Cronan also will be responsible for hiring the next Vols baseball coach. She has been an athletics director for 38 years and Tennessee’s women’s director for 28 and will be the first woman to manage men’s and women’s athletics programs in the Southeastern Conference. “My goal right now is to bring stability and to bring a feeling of ’we’re going to be OK’ because we are going to be OK,” Cronan said Thursday. “As I look around at other athletic departments, we’re in pretty good shape, you talk about financially, you talk about competitively.” The move comes two days after men’s athletics director Mike Hamilton announced he would resign later this month after facing growing criticism for multi-

ple coaching turnovers and an NCAA investigation that resulted in the charge of 12 violations. “The challenge is the transition. The challenge is we haven’t had a great year, but the future is bright,” Cronan said. “I look forward to having the opportunity of leading this program into the future.” Tennessee and Texas are currently the only programs with separate athletic departments, though Tennessee has been preparing to merge the Vols and Lady Vols programs in the past few years by combining some common functions like media relations. Cronan said having separate departments has served Tennessee well and resulted in unprecedented support for the school’s women’s programs, including the eight-time national champion Lady Vols basketball team. Combining the two programs will make Tennessee athletics more efficient and streamlined at a time when all universities are struggling with budgets and the economy. Cronan said she’s not interested in becoming the permanent vice chancellor/director of athletics but will assist Cheek and others in the search for one. When her replacement is hired,

COLUMBUS, Ohio — NCAA investigators left campus a week ago following their review of reports about Ohio State players selling or trading memorabilia for cash and tattoos, university president Gordon Gee said Thursday. Revelations about the tattoo deals ultimately led to football coach Jim Tressel’s resignation under pressure on Memorial Day. The NCAA also is investigating whether players received preferential treatment when buying cars. Gee also confirmed that, despite leaving the university, Tressel would still pay a $250,000 fine for breaking NCAA rules. “He will pay the fine,” Gee said. University spokeswoman Shelly Hoffman added that details of the payment were still being worked out. Gee said NCAA investigators talked to individuals but wouldn’t comment on who was interviewed or what other action was taken. “We can’t report on who they’ve talked to and what they’ve done, because that is an NCAA investigation,” Gee said at an on-campus event. Ohio State will go before the NCAA’s committee on infractions on Aug. 12. Gee, in his second stint as head of Ohio State, one of the country’s largest universities, said he is now focused on Sunday’s graduation, which the university says will be Ohio State’s largest spring commencement ever, with nearly 9,700 diplomas awarded.

she will continue to serve as women’s athletics director until June 30, 2012, to help with the department’s transition and then will work a senior adviser to the vice chancellor and chancellor for two years. She said her primary concern in staying on as women’s athletics director and as an adviser was that the women’s sports, which will retain the Lady Vols moniker and logo, maintains its identity and voice during the transition period. “Joan Cronan epitomizes the Volunteer spirit,” Cheek said in a statement. “She has been a vital part of Tennessee Athletics for thirty years and will provide proven leadership during our transitional period. I appreciate her willingness to assume this responsibility.” Under Cronan’s watch, Lady Volunteers sports have won nine NCAA titles, 27 Southeastern Conference regular season championships and 19 SEC tournament titles. She was the president of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics from 2008 to 2009, and the National Association of Collegiate Women Athletics Administrators named her the 2005 athletic director of the year.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The next step may be the most important one for former Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor. Done with college football and through with talking to the NCAA, now he’ll have to convince NFL teams he can fully realize the potential that he has shown since he was a high school quarterback in Pennsylvania. Pryor attorney Larry James said Thursday that the QB turned down a chance to play in the Canadian Football League and is now focusing his energies on being selected by an NFL team later this summer. “He’s definitely looking at the supplemental draft,” James said. There are risks and rewards aplenty, both for Pryor and any team considering taking him. “Some time ago I put up a top-100 list (for the 2012 draft) and I had Pryor right around 100 on that list,” said Gil Brandt, an NFL draft analyst and former general manager of the Dallas Cowboys. “And that was before all of this came to fruition.” The “all of this” Brandt was referring to is the smoking rubble at Ohio State: coach Jim Tressel’s forced resignation, an ongoing and all-encompassing NCAA probe and, on Tuesday night, Pryor’s announcement that he wouldn’t return to school and play his senior season. Pryor, considered the nation’s No. 1 quarterback recruit when he signed with Ohio State in 2008, had already been suspended for the first five games of the 2011 season for trading autographs and memorabilia for cash and discounted tattoos. The NCAA also is looking into the cars Pryor has owned or was loaned while at Ohio State. Investigators left campus last week, Ohio State President Gordon Gee says, but the probe

will continue ahead of an Aug. 12 meeting between OSU officials and the NCAA’s committee on infractions. Pryor The NCAA will get no more answers from Pryor. James said Thursday that, since Pryor is no longer a student, he felt no compunction to speak with investigators anymore. “They’re not going to give him or any other student-athlete any due process rights to speak of, so he’s moved on,” James said. The Saskatchewan Roughriders, who held Pryor’s Canadian Football League negotiating rights, made a play for him Wednesday night. The CFL game is played on a field both longer and wider than the NFL’s, meaning a mobile quarterback is a precious commodity. “There’s not a lot of 6-foot-6, 230pound quarterbacks that run like him up here,” Roughriders GM Brendan Taman said. “He’s sort of an enigma for our league. There’s nobody really up here right now who would compare with him.” But Pryor turned down the Roughriders and the CFL on Thursday morning. “He just said he’s not interested in the Canadian Football League,” James said. “Obviously the offer was not sufficient to whet his taste buds.” To get into a supplemental draft, Pryor would have to petition the NFL for entry. Then he would have to pique the interest of at least one team willing to take a chance on a guy who won a lot at Ohio State (31 of 35 starts at quarterback) but was never selected first-team AllBig Ten and has numerous questions about his passing ability, leadership qualities and dedication.

Lenders blamed for failures

The Obama administration is blaming the three largest U.S. mortgage lenders for the failures of its foreclosure-prevention program. It says they’ve done little to help people at risk of losing their homes. Wells Fargo & Co., Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase & Co. have failed to help enough people permanently lower their mortgage payments so they can stay in their homes, the Treasury Department said Thursday. Based on those lenders’ lackluster success for the first three months of 2011, the government is withholding financial incentives that amounted to up to $1,000 per permanent loan modification.

OPEC dissent erodes cartel’s power Question for consumers is what happens to oil prices now.

B R I E F

By GEORGE JAHN Associated Press

VIENNA — OPEC’s stunning admission of major dissent within its ranks has left it reeling and its status as the world’s oil power-broker tarnished, perhaps beyond repair. But is a weakened cartel good or bad for consumers? The major question is what will happen to oil prices in the long term as a newly strengthened Iran takes on traditional OPEC heavyweight Saudi Arabia in what some see as a proxy attack on

the United States, the Saudis’ ally and Iran’s longtime foe. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, which sells more than a third of the world’s crude, has commonly been seen as a price regulator, pumping more or less as it deemed fit and leading to complaints of price fixing from major consumers. But market realities show a different picture — of an OPEC that has less impact on U.S. and other consumers than in previous decades. Even before Wednesday’s abortive OPEC session on whether to raise output, its members were breaking their quotas, putting an additional1.5 million

barrels of oil a day on the market. That should have brought down prices. Instead, for weeks prices continued to hover around $100 per barrel. And news that OPEC was in trouble Wednesday resulted in a small upward blip reflecting a market focused more on supply and less on the group’s possible demise. “There was a time when rumors of the break-up of OPEC would have sent the oil price plummeting,” said a Monument Securities research note. “But the realities of global supply and demand have been such ... that OPEC has lost control over the crude oil mar-

ket.” OPEC’s role as a regulator of prices and supplies has been further weakened by the internal squabbling that characterized their latest meeting. National interests led to deadlock among the 12 OPEC nations, when Iran and others stymied a bid by Saudi Arabia and its Gulf allies to increase output at a time of world economic weakness. Rejecting a rise in output keeps oil prices high — about $101 on Thursday — not only filling Iran’s coffers with profits but possibly even kicking the legs out from under a feeble U.S. economic recovery.

‘Significant slowdown’ seen

The Greek Cabinet on Thursday approved and submitted to Parliament a new round of painful austerity measures and a (euro) 50 billion ($73 billion) privatization drive that are essential for the debt-ridden country to continue receiving funds from its international bailout. Greece is lagging behind with reforms promised in return for last year’s (euro) 110 billion ($160 billion) package of rescue loans from its European partners and the International Monetary Fund. Fellow eurozone governments have warned that if the country does not enforce new austerity, it will be cut off from aid.

Best Borders may close

Borders Group Inc. says it may have to close dozens of its best-performing stores due to a requirement of its bankruptcy financing if their landlords don’t agree to extend a lease-negotiation period. Borders, which filed for bankruptcy court protection in February, has extension agreements for 365 stores. But it said in a court filing Thursday that it is still negotiating extensions for 51, many of which are among its top-selling stores, including one near Penn Station in New York.

Feds allow Utah gas drilling

The federal government says drilling can begin on a large natural gas project in eastern Utah that officials say will open nearly 3,700 new wells and create thousands of jobs. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said during a conference call with reporters Thursday that Texas-based Anadarko Petroleum Corp. has approval to begin drilling, as long as it controls pollution emissions.

Unemployment, food costs to blame By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER AP Economics Writer

WASHINGTON — Jobs are scarce and food prices are likely to stay high through next year, according to new data that reinforced evidence of a U.S. economy stuck in a weak patch. There was some good news in the spate of reports released Thursday. The U.S. trade deficit narrowed in April after American companies sold more goods overseas and imports fell. The second straight month of record exports helped Wall Street end its sixday losing streak. But most economists downplayed the impact of the smaller trade gap. They said it was mostly because of temporary factor and focused on other reports that suggest hiring could weaken and growth

could slow. “There is a significant slowdown going on,” said Paul Dales, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics. “The economy is unlikely to grow at a decent rate anytime in the next year or two.” Thursday’s data showed: The number of people seeking unemployment benefits hardly changed for a second straight week, the Labor Department said. Applications ticked up 1,000 to a seasonally adjusted 427,000 last week. It marked the ninth straight week in which applications have been above 400,000. That trend represents a setback after applications had been declining all winter. A wet spring will likely cut the size of this fall’s corn harvest and keep food

prices high through 2012, the Agriculture Department said. That would limit consumers’ ability to spend money on other goods. Consumer spending accounts for 70 percent of the U.S. economy. Exports of U.S. goods and services rose to a record $175.6 billion while imports dipped to $219.2 billion, the Commerce Department reported. But a key reason the U.S. trade deficit narrowed was a 25.5 percent decline in imports from Japan, which is recovering from the March11earthquake and tsunami. Most economists expect Japanese factories will rebound in the next few months. That should ease supply disruptions and boost imports.

Home equity nears lowest percentage since WWII By DEREK KRAVITZ and CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER AP Business Writers

WASHINGTON — Falling home prices have shrunk the equity Americans have in their homes to nearly the lowest percentage since World War II. Average home equity plunged from more than 61 percent at the start of 2001 to 38 percent in the JanuaryMarch quarter this year, the Federal Reserve said in a re-

port Thursday. That drop comes as home prices in big metro areas have reached their lowest level since 2002. The Fed’s quarterly report shows how much wealth, or net worth, Americans have gained or lost. Net worth is the value of assets such as homes and stocks, minus debts like mortgages and credit cards. Americans’ overall net worth grew 1.65 percent in

the January-March period, to $58.06 trillion, because of stock market gains. Stock values as measured by the Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index gained $970 billion last quarter. But since then, they’ve lost $651 billion through Wednesday’s stock market closing. The report showed that corporations are still hoarding cash. Excluding banks and other financial firms, compa-

nies held $1.9 trillion in cash at the end of the JanuaryMarch quarter. That was slightly more than in the previous quarter and set another record. The reluctance of companies to spend more of their cash stockpiles helps explain why job growth has been slow. U.S. employers added only 54,000 jobs in May, far fewer than the average of 220,000 they added in the previous three months.

SHANGHAI — China’s auto sales fell in May compared with a year earlier, as buyers wary of traffic quotas and rising fuel prices shunned showrooms, according to industry data released Thursday. The China Association of Automobile Manufacturers reported that sales of passenger cars, including sedans, multipurpose and sport utility vehicles, slipped to 1.04 million vehicles, compared to 1.14 million in May 2010. Sales also fell from the month before, when the world’s largest auto market contracted for the first time in two years. It reported that sales of all vehicles, including heavy trucks and buses, dropped 3 percent to 1.38 million vehicles — less than forecast by some analysts but still a far cry from the double-digit growth seen during most of the past decade. On Wednesday, the government announced a “Cash for Clunkers” incentive scheme to pay 11,000 yuan-18,000 yuan ($1,700-$2,800) for old farm vehicles, city buses and heavy trucks headed for the scrap heap. An earlier program introduced to fight a downturn during the global crisis helped spur sales in 2009, as China overtook the U.S. to become the world’s biggest market for new vehicles. The subsidies were meant to encourage mostly rural dwellers to trade in old cars and trucks for fuel efficient new vehicles, and it sparked a boom in sales of small passenger vans favored by farm and business owners. The end of that program last year, combined with traffic curbs in big cities and rising fuel prices, appears to have taken the gloss off of what has remained one of the few bright spots in the global industry. All the same, sales remain relatively robust and many analysts view the cooling of the market as a return to a more sustainable pace of growth.

Playing defense

The stock market has gone into reverse. It’s time to play defense. One option is stocks in what are called defensive industries: health care, utilities, telecommunications and consumer staples. These industries sell products and services that consumers buy regularly because they’re necessities. Each defensive industry is up more than 3 percent over the last 3 months because investing pros are looking for safety. The S&P 500 is down 2 percent. You probably already have stocks in some of these industries because defensive companies make up about 30 percent of an S&P 500 index fund. But there are options for investors who want to

A stalled cold front along Southern Pennsylvania has allowed for some slightly cooler and drier air to move over our region. We won't have as much sunshine as yesterday, but we won't have the hot temperatures either! Afternoon temperatures will top out in the 80s, and we may have a passing shower to help cool things down later in the day. If you have outdoor plans this weekend, keep the umbrella handy. - Kurt Aaron

T.P. Corporation Site Duryea Borough, Luzerne County The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Environmental Protection (“Department”), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act, 35 P.S. §6020.101 etseq. (“HSCA”), has initiated a prompt interim response action at the T.P. Corporation Site (“Site”). This response has been undertaken pursuant to Sections 505(b) & (c) of HSCA, 35 P.S. § 6020.505(b) & (c). The Site is located at 620 Foote Avenue in Duryea Borough, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. The Site contains abandoned chemical containers within a large building and one outbuilding. A site visit was conducted by the Department on February 9, 2011. Approximately 100-150, 55-gallon drums,50-100, 35 gallon drums and 100, 5 gallon containers were observed within the building and one out building at the Site. The following chemical classes were documented as observed from labels on the drums: Flammable Solids and Liquids, Acids (Sulfuric Acid), Potassium Hydroxide, paint and acetone. These containers were stored in proximity to each other without any secondary containment to prevent the mixing of incompatible chemicals should they leak. Mixing of incompatible chemical could cause a fire and/or an air release that could pose a threat to nearby residential occupants and recreational area users. Although the building has been secured by the owner, it appears the building has been vandalized and the abandoned chemicals present a potential threat and pose an unacceptable risk to human health and the environment. Some of the chemical pose threats from direct contact, toxicity, flammability, or reactivity. The Department has determined that the following hazardous substances as defined by HSCA have been abandoned and therefore, released as defined by HSCA, or present a threat of release at the Site: Sulfuric Acid (Acids) and Potassium Hydroxide (Base) – (Corrosive Hazardous Waste – D002), Paint, Acetone and other Flammable Liquids and Solids (Flammable Liquids and Ignitable Hazardous Waste – D001). Based upon the fact that a release of a hazardous substance as defined by HSCA has occurred and that the threat of a release of hazardous substances exists and that an ongoing release is likely if no actions are taken, the Department is authorized to undertake a response action at this Site under Section 501(a) of HSCA, 35 P.S. §6020.501(a). A Prompt Interim Response is justified at this Site for the following reasons: Characterization and removal of the hazardous substances and wastes is needed in a time frame that prohibits developing and closing an administrative record prior to response initiation given the condition of the building and the potential threats to public health and the environment. This prompt interim response action will cost less than $1 million and take less than 1 year to implement. The Department is undertaking a prompt interim response at the Site pursuant to its authority under Section 501(a) of HSCA, 35 P.S. § 6020.501(a). Prompt action is necessary to protect the public health, safety, and the environment from the release and threat of release of hazardous substances from the Site. The Department evaluated two alternatives for this proposed interim response which include: No Action

2) Waste Removal and Off-Site Reuse, Recycling, or Disposal: This alternative includes the testing and classification of abandoned wastes and other materials in drums and smaller containers. After classification and lab-packing or consolidation of these chemicals, the containers will be prepared for shipment and staged and stored properly until they can be removed for reuse, recycling, or disposal at facilities approved by the Department. Based upon an evaluation of the Alternatives using criteria including protection of human health and the environment, compliance with applicable and relevant and appropriate requirements (ARARs), feasibility, permanence, and cost-effectiveness, the Department has selected Alternative 2 as the proposed interim response for the Site. This notice is being provided pursuant to Section 506(b) of HSCA 35 P.S. §6020.501(b). The administrative record, which contains the information that forms the basis and documents the selection of the response action, is available for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at the Duryea Borough Municipal Office,315 Main Street, Duryea, Pennsylvania and is available for review Monday through Friday from9am to 12pm and 1pm to3pm. The administrative record will be open for comment from June 11, 2011 through September 9, 2011. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them to Jeremy Miller, Compliance Specialist, at the Department’s Northeast Regional Office at2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA18701, or by delivering them to that office in person. In addition, persons may present oral comments, for inclusion in the administrative record, at a public hearing. The Department has scheduled the hearing for July27, 2011 at 10AM at the Duryea Borough Building, 15 Main Street, Duryea. The testimony at the public hearing will be limited to the prompt interim response, which involves removal and off-site reuse, recycling, and/or disposal of the hazardous substances and waste. An informal public meeting will be held after the public hearing is concluded. Persons wishing to present testimony at the July 27, 2011hearing regarding this prompt interim response should register with Jeremy Miller before July 15, 2011 by telephone at (570) 826-2511, or in writing to Jeremy Miller at the Department’s Northeast Regional Office. Persons with a disability who wish to attend the July 27, 2011 hearing and require auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings, should contact Jeremy Miller or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at 1800-654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
