Legal minds weigh in on Sandusky

Jury selection speed surprises area lawyers

One issue for local attorneys is the ruling that victims must use real names at trial. By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

NOVAK WHEEL GOOD AT LUZERNE CRITERIUM Last year at the Luzerne Criterium and Festival, riders had to deal with rain while navigating the .9-mile course in the borough’s downtown. On Sunday, riders didn’t have to deal with rain. Instead it was the heat that greeted riders in nine different category of races as the sun beat down on the course and temperatures reached the high 80s. “Well, I am dehydrated now,” David Novak said after completing the 41-mile Pro 123 race. Still, the 19-year-old from Tunkhannock didn’t let the high temperatures keep him from putting on a show in the day’s featured event. Page 1B

AUBURN, Ala. — Investigators were searching Sunday for a gunman who killed three people — including two former Auburn University football players — and wounded three others at a pool party near campus after several men got in a fight over a woman, authorities and witnesses said. One of the wounded was shot in the head and critically hurt. Another was a current player, Eric Leonard Mack. Desmonte Leonard opened fire at the Saturday night party at an apartment complex near the university, Auburn Police Chief Tommy Dawson said. Federal marshals and police were searching for Leonard, who faces three counts of capital murder. Slain were Edward Christian, who had not been playing because of a back injury, and Ladarious Phillips, who had previously quit playing football. The other person killed was 20-year-old Demario Pitts. Officials also said Xavier Moss and John Robertson were wounded. Robertson had been shot in the head and was in critical condi-

Cornelio Catena, CEO, WilkesBarre General Hospital

WILKES-BARRE – The largest single private investment in Wilkes-Barre’s recent history – a $53 million expansion at WilkesBarre General Hospital – will open to the public in six weeks.

THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS WEEK

>> CORNY, BUT GOOD: The Indians may call it

“maize,” but when you add some butter and a little salt, we call it tasty. The “it” is corn, specifically corn on the cob. And to celebrate this summertime staple, some nice folks have designated today as “Corn on the Cob Day.” So, you must be asking yourself, “What can I do to note this occasion?” Glad you asked. Go out and buy some corn -- unless you own a farm, then just go outside and get some – cook it up and enjoy. Simple, huh? 6

>> THE FINALS COUNTDOWN: There are some who would analyze the NBA Finals by looking at things like matchups, player strengths and coaching strategies. Not

It’s just one of many projects, either completed or underway, the health system has undertaken since it was purchased by a forprofit company three years ago. When Community Health Systems Inc. paid $271 million to acquire the Wyoming Valley Health Care System in May 2009, the price included a pledge to spend more than $135 million on upgrades over seven years. Completed so far have been improvements to the electronic medical

here. Instead, let’s predict a winner by looking at the teams’ nicknames. It’s the Thunder vs. the Heat in a meteorologist’s dream matchup. Thunder is the sound made by lightning as it superheats the air causing a sonic boom. Heat is the transference of energy by thermal interaction. So, which force of nature would win in fight, and thereby capture the NBA title? It’s a close call, but the tiebreaker is that thunder can be scary, while heat just makes people sweat more and wear funny shorts. Thunder in six. Game 1 of The Finals begins at 9 p.m. Tuesday on ABC.

>> GRAND OL’ FLAG: Happy 235th birthday,

Stars and Stripes! Well, happy birthday on Thursday. That’s Flag Day, in case you didn’t know, and it was on that date in 1777 that the Continental Congress adopted the first version of our flag. In 1916, Woodrow Wilson proclaimed June 14 as Flag Day, but it is not a federal holiday. There’s one state, however, where Flag Day is an official state holiday. Can you name it? Why, yes. It’s our very own Pennsylvania.

>> A MAJOR DEAL: To golf fans, the U.S.

Open is known as the toughest major championship. With challenging fairways and rough designed to be borderline sadistic, the world’s best golfers will be lucky to break par at the Olympic Club in San Francisco. To non-golf fans, the U.S. Open is that tournament they watch when a certain Tiger fella does well. That Tiger fella will be there on Thursday, along with other folks who can hit a little round ball with great skill and accuracy. (Mostly.) ESPN has first- and second-round coverage on Thursday and Friday, while NBC takes over Saturday and Sunday.

>> DADDY DEAREST: In May, we have a

day to honor mom. Usually with gifts like flowers and candy and wonderful dinners in nice places. “Take a load off, mom. Let us do the work for you,” we say. Now, this Sunday it’s dad’s turn. And what do we get for him? Ties to wear to work, power tools and gifts like a subscription to the “Jerky of the Month Club.” (Yes, that is a real Father’s Day gift idea.) Yeah, so mom gets the better gifts, but a nice hug and an “I love you,” will help even that disparity out.

Cartoon animals, space creatures surge

‘Madagascar 3,’ ‘Prometheus’ score

Ben Stiller attends the premiere of ‘Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted’ on Thursday in New York. The animated feature topped the weekend box office ahead of sci-fi thriller ‘Prometheus.’ Besides Stiller, ‘Madagascar’ has voice actors Chris Rock and Jada Pinkett Smith.

By DAVID GERMAIN AP Movie Writer

CHARLES SYKES/INVISION/AP

LOS ANGELES — Circus animals and space beasts have lifted Hollywood to a huge weekend. The cuddly critters of “Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted” led the weekend with a $60.4 million debut domestically, followed by a big opening for Ridley Scott’s alien saga “Prometheus” at No. 2 with $50 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. DreamWorks Animation’s “Madagascar 3” was the family favorite for the weekend, reuniting voice stars Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, Jada Pinkett Smith and David Schwimmer as the zoo animals continue their travels by joining a circus. “Madagascar 3” outdid the $47.2 million debut of the 2005 original, though it came in behind the $63.1 million opening of the first sequel, 2008’s “Madagas-

car: Escape 2 Africa.” “Europe’s Most Wanted” had the added benefit of today’s higher ticket prices and a bump from fans who caught 3-D shows, which cost a few dollars more than 2-D screenings. Still, fans remain loyal to the franchise, and “Madagascar 3” received generally better reviews than the previous two installments. “It’s the beloved characters and their comic adventures. And ‘Madagascar 3’ is critically the bestreviewed of the franchise. Both audiences and critics really love this one the most,” said Anne Globe, head of marketing for DreamWorks Animation. “Madagascar 3” also took in $75.5 million internationally for a worldwide debut of $135.9 million. “Prometheus,” from 20th Century Fox, stars Noomi Rapace,

Michael Fassbender and Charlize Theron in an offshoot of director’s Scott’s 1979 sci-fi horror tale “Alien.” “Prometheus” did big business despite an R rating, which can limit a movie’s audience since fans under 17 must see it with an adult. Conventional wisdom is that action films should come in with a PG-13 rating to cast the widest net possible for its audience. “A $50 million weekend disproves that rule, for sure,” said Chris Aronson, head of distribution for 20th Century Fox. “This movie is so special. It’s visually stunning, great storytelling as Ridley is known for. It’s Ridley Scott’s vision. I’m an unabashed fan of the movie, and the performance at the box office bears that out.” The movie added $39.2 million overseas, bringing its international total to $91.5 million.

‘Once,’ ‘Porgy and Bess’ among Tony winners Audra McDonald won the Tony for best leading actress in a musical in Gershwins’ revival. The Associated Press

NEW YORK — “Once” wins Tony Award for best musical during Sunday night’s awards ceremony and show, while Audra McDonald won the Tony for best leading actress in a musical. She was considered the favorite for her powerful portrayal of Bess in “The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess,” McDonald captured her fifth Tony, but first as a leading actress. Raised in Fresno, Calif., and trained at The Juilliard School, she won three Tony Awards before the age of 30 — for “Carousel,” “Master Class” and “Ragtime” — and a fourth in 2004 for “A Raisin in the Sun.” She has two Grammy Awards, four albums and thinking of a fifth and two Emmy Award nominations. McDonald, a fierce advocate for gay marriage rights, has a daughter and recently was engaged. She beat out Jan Maxwell, Cristin Milioti, Kelli O’Hara and Laura Osnes. James Corden, who first made

his name on stage in “The History Boys,” won the lead acting Tony in a play for his clownish turn in the British import “One Man, Two Guvnors.” The play is a slapstick farce about a simpleminded guy who juggles errands for two underworld bosses in an English seaside town in the 1960s. It had hit runs at the National Theatre and the West End. The 33-year-old Corden cowrote the hit comedy series “Gavin & Stacey” for BBC and wrote

the memoir “May I Have Your Attention, Please?” He beat Philip Seymour Hoffman in “Death of a Salesman,” James Earl Jones from “Gore Vidal’s The Best Man,” Frank Langella in “Man and Boy” and John Lithgow from “The Columnist.” Steve Kazee has won for best lead actor in a musical for his heartfelt and touching performance in “Once.” Kaee plays an Irish street musician and vacuum cleaner repairman in Dublin who falls in love

SCRANTON -- During the time 2nd Lt. Carol Ann Drazba, R.N., U.S. Army Nurse Corps was stationed in Vietnam, she had the opportunity to nurse back to health veterans from all different parts of the United States and at least one from West Scranton. Drazba, the first American military woman to be killed in the Vietnam War, will Drazba be honored with a memorial on Saturday placed at the corner of Mulberry Street and Franklin Avenue at the Gino J. Merli Veterans Center. She was the first person that Sgt. 1st Class Pat DeSarno of the U.S. Army saw after being operated on in Vietnam 47 years ago. “She woke me up,” said DeSarno. “And when she woke (me) up, I thought, ‘Did I die and go to heaven, or what?’ She was a very pretty girl.” Born and raised in West Scranton, DeSarno joined the Army when he was 17 years old and was stationed in Vietnam in 1965. He was wounded by shrapnel on Dec. 18, 1965. “I woke up in a bed and my arm was in a cast, and she walked by and said, ‘I used to watch you bowl,’ ” DeSarno said if his first encounter with Drazba at a hospital in Saigon. Drazba, a Dunmore native, recognized DeSarno from Idle Hour Lanes in Dickson City, a bowling alley he had frequented. See NURSE, Page 6A

Egyptian leader had been sent to prison to begin serving a life sentence eight days ago. By MAGGIE MICHAEL Associated Press

Mon dieu! The news is depressing

Leaks action demanded

CAIRO — Hosni Mubarak is slipping in and out of consciousness eight days after the ousted Egyptian leader was sent to prison to begin serving a life sentence, a security official said on Sunday. With rumors of the former president’s death spreading rapidly, authorities granted his wife, former first lady Suzanne Mubarak, and the couple’s two daughters-in-law special permission to visit him in Cairo’s Torah prison early that morning. “The former president’s health is in decline, but now it’s stable in its deteriorated state,” the official said. Since his wife’s visit, Mubarak has suffered from an irregular heartbeat and required as-

sistance in breathing. The official told The Associated Press that the former president now lives only on liquids and yogurt. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media. Mubarak’s health is reported to have collapsed since his June 2 conviction for failing to stop the killing of protesters during the uprising that overthrew him in 2011. His life sentence saw him transferred immediately to a prison hospital, instead of the military hospital and other facilities where he had been held since his April 2011 arrest. Authorities have turned down several requests by Mubarak’s family to transfer the ousted president back to a military facility, the official said. On Saturday Mubarak’s wife was denied access to the Intensive Care Unit where he was placed, as authorities limit family visitations to one a month. According to security officials quoted by al-Masry al-Youm daily, Mrs. Muba-

Mubarak’s two sons Alaa and Gamal are also being held. They were acquitted on June 2 of corruption charges, but still face separate charges of insider trading.

On Saturday, Egypt’s state run news agency MENA quoted officials as saying that Mubarak is at risk of stroke, quoting a medical team’s report. Other media reports said that his lawyer Farid al-Deeb informed him that he will soon be transferred back to a military facility in the Cairo suburb of Maadi.

heads of the House and Senate T heintelligence committees said Sun-

day the Justice Department must move quickly and ignore politics in investigating possible unauthorized disclosures of classified information. Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein and Republican Rep. Mike Rogers suggested on CBS’ “Face the Nation” that they’re willing to see how prosecutors conduct their investigation before considering whether a departmentappointed special counsel should take over. Rogers said he’ll be watching for signs of undue political influence. Feinstein said she believes Obama’s assertion that the White House wasn’t involved in the disclosures and she hopes the investigation can “get to a relatively quick disposition.” At issue are disclosures about U.S. involvement in cyberattacks on Iran and drone strikes on suspected terrorists, and an al-Qaida plot to place an explosive device aboard a U.S.-bound flight.

TEHRAN, IRAN

Iran warns about talks An Iranian negotiator warned Sunday that this month’s talks in Moscow over Iran’s nuclear program could stall because of faulty preparation. Ali Bagheri, Iran’s No. 2 nuclear negotiator, said advance talks were agreed on to clarify the agenda for the Moscow round, set for June 18-19. The official IRNA news agency said Bagheri made the complaint in a letter to senior EU official Helga Schmid on Sunday. Concerned that Iran might be aiming toward nuclear weapons, the West wants to stop Iran’s 20 percent uranium enrichment program. Western experts say it would not be difficult to upgrade 20 percent enriched uranium to weapons grade. Iran insists its nuclear program is peaceful. In exchange for discussing enrichment, Iran wants sanctions eased. KABUL, AFGHANISTAN

NATO to avoid homes Stung by Afghan criticism of an airstrike that killed 18 civilians last week, the NATO force has agreed not to bomb residential buildings, a military spokesman said Sunday. The agreement - reached Saturday night at a meeting between President Hamid Karzai and Gen. John Allen, the American who commands Western forces in Afghanistan - reflects a changing dynamic between the Afghan government and the NATO force. As Western troops prepare to depart, Afghanistan has been more strongly asserting its sovereignty, in particular demanding curtailment of nighttime raids by special-operations forces. WASHINGTON

We balk at saving energy When it comes to saving energy, people in the United States know that driving a fuel-efficient car accomplishes more than turning off the lights at home. But that doesn’t mean they’ll do it. A new poll shows that while most of those questioned understand effective ways to save energy, they have a hard time adopting them. Six in 10 surveyed say driving a more fuel-efficient car would save a large amount of energy, but only 1 in 4 says that’s easy to do, according to the poll by the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. People also are skeptical of carpooling or installing better home insulation, rating them as effective but impractical.

Spain’s Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy speaks during a press conference Sunday at the Moncloa Palace, in Madrid. Spain became the fourth and largest country to ask Europe to rescue its failing banks.

Spanish call bailout a victory

The country became the fourth and largest to ask Europe to rescue its failing banks. By LAUREN FRAYER Los Angeles Times (MCT)

MADRID -- A day after the bailout request he vowed would never come, Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said a loan package from Europe worth up to $125 billion as a “victory for the euro,” and sought to cast the deal to rescue Spain’s banks as part of his own efforts to save the country from greater economic calamity. But Rajoy predicted that, with a 25 percent unemployment rate, Spain’s economy was bound to get worse before it gets better. Even with European Union help, it will still shrink by at

least 1.7 percent this year, he said. “This year is going to be a bad one,” Rajoy told reporters Sunday, in his first comments since Spain announced it would become the fourth and largest eurozone country to request aid to survive the continent’s debt crisis. On Saturday, Rajoy did not appear in public and left the bank bailout announcement to his economy minister. No amount has been fixed yet, but European officials said they would make up to $125 billion available. Striking a triumphant tone on Sunday, Rajoy credited his austerity program with preventing Spain from needing an even bigger rescue package. Without tens of billions in spending cuts and tax increases implemented since his conservatives took power in December, the prime minister said that “what was put forward yesterday would

have been a full bailout for the kingdom of Spain.” “Because we had been doing our homework for five months, what did happen yesterday, what was agreed was the opening of a line of credit for our financial system,” Rajoy said. “Getting a 100 billion euro credit line is not such an easy thing to achieve.” Like Economy Minister Luis de Guindos a day earlier, Rajoy avoided using the word “rescue,” instead repeatedly using the phrase “what happened yesterday.” He described the package as a soft loan with few strings attached, beyond European oversight of reforms to Spain’s banking sector. The money will be earmarked for Spanish banks and delivered through Spain’s own bank-rescue fund. However, the government remains responsible for paying back the loans.

Chief Syrian opposition body elects new leader Opposition is trying to appear more inclusive by choosing a member of an ethnic minority. By DIAA HADID and ZEINA KARAM Associated Press

BEIRUT — Syria’s main opposition group on Sunday picked a secular Kurd as its new leader after criticism that the former head was too autocratic and the group was becoming dominated by Islamists. The opposition, hobbled by disorganization and infighting, is trying to pull together and appear more inclusive by choosing a member of an ethnic minority. The opposition’s disarray has frustrated Western powers eager to dislodge Syrian President Bashar Assad but unwilling or unable to send in their own forces to do it. There has been some willingness to support the rebels with funds and arms, but the lack of a cohesive front or a single address has hampered the efforts as the bloodshed intensifies. On Sunday, government forces shelled rebel-held cities and villages, killing at least 38 people in the rebellious Homs district in central Syria, activists said. It was

impossible to independently confirm the death toll. The choice of Abdulbaset Sieda as head of the Syrian National Council is aimed at achieving several goals for the main opposition group. •Under outgoing leader Burhan Ghalioun, criticism mounted that the group was dominated by Islamists, especially the Muslim Brotherhood. Sieda is a secular.

•Sieda is also a Kurd, and his selection could be an incentive for Syria’s minority Kurds to take a more active role in the uprising. Up to now they have stayed mostly on the sidelines. •Selection of a member of a minority group could counter criticism that under Ghalioun, the umbrella organization was too autocratic. Sieda is seen as a neutral consensus figure.

COLLEGE PARK, Ga. — Megachurch pastor Creflo Dollar staunchly denied Sunday that he punched and choked his 15-year-old daughter in an argument, telling his congregation the allegations made in a police report are nothing but “exaggeration and sensationalism.” “I will say this emphatically: I should have never Dollar been arrested,” Dollar said in his first public appearance two days after police charged him with misdemeanor counts of simple battery and cruelty to children. The pastor got an enthusiastic ovation from the packed church as he took the pulpit Sunday at the World Changers Church International in metro Atlanta. He addressed the criminal charges head-on for several minutes before moving on to his sermon. “I want you all to hear personally from me that all is well in the Dollar household,” Dollar said. Dollar is one of the most prominent African-American preachers based around Atlanta, with 30,000 members in the Atlanta area and a ministry of satellite churches across the U.S. He was arrested after his 15year-old daughter called 911 at about 1 a.m. Friday and told a Fayette County sheriff’s deputy that she and her father argued when he said she couldn’t go to a party. A police report says the girl told a deputy her father charged at her, put his hands around her throat, began to punch her and started hitting her with his shoe. The deputy noted a scratch on her neck. The report said the deputy also interviewed Dollar’s 19-yearold daughter, who said her father grabbed her sister’s shoulders and slapped her in the face and choked her for about five seconds. She said her sister tried to break free, but did not fight back. When her father threw the 15-year-old on the floor, the older girl ran to get her mother. Dollar’s wife, Taffi, told the deputy she did not see the fight. Dollar launched into a lengthy denial of the allegations from the pulpit Sunday. “The truth is that a family conversation with our youngest daughter got emotional,” he said. “And emotions got involved and things escalated from there.”

Friends of the Forgotten gathered to continue making plans for the memorial in honor of 2nd Lt. Carol Ann Drazba, R.N., U.S. Army Nurse Corps. Present at the meeting were, first row, from left George Atkinson, Maria DeJesus, second row, Ed Faatz, Angelo Benedetti, Kim Atkinson, Breona Cox, Jack Stahulak, Don Knight and, third row, Marcelo DeJesus.

DeSarno spent a month in the hospital, and during that time he was able to see Drazba at work, helping to make everyone’s stay as pleasant as it could be. “She was always great, really sweet girl,” said DeSarno. “She’d do things like get you an extra soda, or whatever they had there. She would go out of her way and say, ‘What do you need?’” Sentiments like DeSarno’s have been echoed to the members of the Friends of the Forgotten, who are responsible for raising the funds for the memorial, more frequently in the weeks

something to make the community aware of Drazba’s story and sacrifice, and she turned to the Friends of the Forgotten, a group she is the PR person for, to help. Eventually Atkinson came up with the idea for the memorial, a bronze statue of Drazba, which will also include a version of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall behind it and two benches. The group started raising funds in 2009, and on Saturday all that hard work will pay off when the memorial is unveiled.

vice for patients and staff on July 19. The new ER will be 30,000 square feet, double the size of the current one. What will become of the old emergency department space is still undecided, but one option would be a crisis center for behavioral health patients. In a recent meeting with Times Leader staff members, Cornelio Catena, the system’s chief executive officer, said the system, along with other regional providers, has submitted proposals to the Northeast Behavioral Health Care Consortium to expand crisis services. “There’s a tremendous need to take care of these patients” in this region, Catena said. He said patients would be psychiatrically stabilized, triaged and referred to

Zoning Hearing Board denied a special exception application for the expansion. The company appealed to Luzerne County Court and then to the Commonwealth Court, which denied the appeal in December 2009 and declined to reconsider. During the appeals process, the township changed its zoning law, and Pennsy submitted a new conditional use application for expansion. Township supervisors said they wanted to see an approved permit from DEP before deciding on the application, and DEP approved the plan in March. The township Planning Commission in May recommended that the supervisors approve the expansion plan.

alternative services. Catena said he hopes to have word in about a month from NBHCC, if they’d like to move forward with the hospital’s proposal. If they do, he said the crisis center could be up and running in midSeptember. The system is busy expanding in the region, he said. Clinics with physician and some lab services have been established in Mountain Top and Carbondale, and there is a search for a potential location in Nanticoke. As a result of the change to forprofit status, the system paid $1.6 million in property taxes last year, Catena said. Catena said discussions are ongoing with the Scranton-based Commonwealth Medical College about how to support the school, but he stopped short of saying an affiliation was being contemplated. No financing has yet been

committed, he added. He also said that Commonwealth Health, the umbrella organization that includes WilkesBarre General Hospital, Regional Hospital of Scranton, Moses Taylor Hospital, Tyler Memorial Hospital and other hospitals and medical groups in the region, is “in the process of creating our own relationships with insurance companies.” “Having an alignment with payers makes sense, and so we’re exploring that opportunity … to see if there’s the ability to work together and create some mutual advantage with that scenario,” Catena said. “We’re looking at a potential opportunity … it would be a partnership, it’s not a homegrown insurance product,” he said. He declined to get into specifics or identify companies that could be part of the discussions.

And residents’ top issue is protection of wetlands. “They have failed to do anything to show they will not dry up the wetlands,” Higgs said. Higgs said he does not feel confident that supervisors will deny Pennsy North’s application. “There’s been a lot going on behind the scenes for the last three years. It feels as though the township has been bending over backwards to work with the quarry,” he said. In July 2007, the township

All in all, the East Union Street restaurant sustained $140,000 in damage to the building and $125,000 in damage to equipment and furnishings. Monroe and Miller tried to spin the remodel to a positive, using it to widen certain areas and change the look around. “We used to have booths, but now we have beautiful tables and chairs,” Miller said. “We’ve got new countertops, and we moved our walk-in cooler from the inside of the restaurant to the deck on the outside, so we have more kitchen space.” An electrician and plumber

were hired to help during the process, but everything else was done by the hands of Monroe, Miller and several friends. The back wall of the restaurant, which once contained mirrors, is now solid wood with “The Wagon Wheel” in black

wood letters emblazoned across. A new electric fireplace sits below it. The back room floor is now tiled, not carpeted, and the counter area has been widened in order to allow not only more room for servers to walk, but

customers to sit and spread out their morning paper. Another new addition is in the back room, and it’s quite the eye catcher. “We used an entire wall to show what it was like during Agnes in ’72 and during Lee this

past fall,” Miller said. “We put up pictures of the town so you can see and compare what happened.” One original element of the interior remains. “This is all the original planking,” Miller said, referring to the wood boards that make up the walls of the restaurant. “We pressure washed and sanitized all of it, then stored it until we could put it back up. We actually coded it in order to put it back on the walls the way it was before. We’d write something like ‘D1’ on a plank for the dining room, then put a corresponding code on the wall where it was supposed to go.” “It was one big, crazy puzzle,” Monroe said, laughing. Though there are still minor adjustments to be made, the Wagon Wheel is ready to welcome customers to a place of “fine dining in a nostalgic atmosphere,” as the sign says. “Any major change like this is nerve wracking,” Miller said. “We’re anxious to be open again.”

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Authorities sought a motive Sunday after an assailant entered a Sacramento home and shot four people to death, police said. The suspect also was wounded and in critical condition. Officers who responded to reports of gunfire at the home Saturday night found three men and one woman dead, police spokeswoman Officer Michelle Gigante said. A fifth person, whom investigators identified as a suspect, was wounded, apparently by someone in the home who confronted him, Gigante said. Two of the victims were described as shamans — spiritual elders — in the Hmong community. The suspect remained in critical but stable condition Sunday, Gigante said, but she declined to provide additional details. Investigators weren’t sure if there were additional suspects. Police initially described the killings as occurring during a home invasion, but Gigante later said investigators don’t know the motive. Authorities have determined that some gang members may have been involved and the attack “doesn’t seem like it was random,” Gigante said. The names of the victims have not been released.

Republican presidential candidate, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney campaigns in Pittsburgh in May.

GOP gets upbeat on Romney’s chances Mood matters because it can fuel fundraising and volunteer hustle.

By BRIAN BAKST Associated Press

ROSEMONT, Ill. — Republicans riding high from a string of breaks in their favor are increasingly optimistic about Mitt Romney’s chances to claim the White House in November, even among conservatives who had qualms about making him the party’s nominee. The bullish take is reflected in interviews with party strategists and activists, including people who supported Romney rivals during the primary season. Mood matters because it can fuel fundraising and volunteer hustle. But some of those GOP players stress that Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, has little room for error if he expects to topple an incumbent president. The chest-thumping follows a GOP victory in last week’s Wisconsin recall election that saved Gov. Scott Walker’s job. The race galvanized Republicans who saw it as an early 2012 referendum on conservative fiscal principles in an election that was likely to hinge on the shape of the economy. Even Rick Santorum, who spent a primary season casting doubt on Romney’s ability to succeed in a general election, says things are looking up for Romney. “I can tell you, I feel a little bit better about that election since what happened on Tuesday up in Wisconsin,” Santorum said Friday at a Conservative Political Action Conference in Chicago. Some Republican voters concede they aren’t as passionate about electing Romney as they are about booting Democratic PresidentBarackObamafromthe Oval Office. “He’s obviously it, and he’s what is left,” FBI agent David Hirtz, an active member of his central Illinois tea party, said of Romney. “Anybody is better than Obama.” In mid-May, a USA Today/Gal-

luppollfound81percentofDemocrats and 58 percent of independents predicting an Obama victory. Among Republicans, 68 percent thought Romney will win — about the same percentage of faith GOP voters placed in 2008 nominee John McCain at this point in his campaign. But that was before the closely watched Wisconsin recall, the release of key campaign finance figures and the latest figures on job growth raised concerns about a slowing eco“He’s obvi- nomic recovery, which gave ously it, Romney more fodder to pound and he’s Obama’s stewwhat is ardship. Romney and left. Anyhis Republican body is allies pulled better down more than than Oba- money Obama and ma.” aligned DemoParty FBI agent David cratic Hirtz committees in Active member May, a notable of central Illinois shift in the montea party ey chase. The $76 million haul was a big jump up from what Romney and the GOP had raised the month before, and it was comfortably above the $60 million gathered by the combined Obama team. A conservative base that was deeply splintered during the Republican primaries has coalesced around Romney even faster than some in the party were expecting. That’s the case with Bobbi Jo Rohrberg, a 36-year-old teacher and conservative blogger from southwestern Iowa who backed Santorum at the state’s leadoff caucuses in January. She was worried a Romney nomination would look too much like McCain’s fateful run. Rohrberg said Romney initially struck her as someone who was “not going to have a lot of bite, not going to show the teeth, going to be very likeable and agreeable to go along and get along, which isn’t going to get you anywhere if you are going to win.”

Annie Oakley’s shotgun sells for more than $143,000 at auction By CHRISTOPHER SHERMAN Associated Press

McALLEN, Texas — A shotgun that once belonged to Western sharpshooter and entertainer Annie Oakley sold for more than $143,000 at an auction in Dallas on Sunday. The trove of about 100 of the icon’s items headlining Heritage Auctions’ “Legends of the Wild West” event brought in nearly $520,000, according to the auction house. The items included several guns, her Stetson hat, photographs and letters. Oakley’s great-grandnieces put up the items and had inherited them from their mother, who died in 2009. One of those descendants, Terrye Holcomb, said, overall, the auction’s success left her with a positive feeling, but “there’s a little bit of melancholy and sadness that goes with it.” The items had been passed

down through generations. Holcomb remembers shooting the guns for target practice on Sunday mornOakley ings in California’s Santa Monica Mountains and wearing Oakley’s Stetson hat — which sold for $17,925 — for Halloween. But Holcomb said seeing how excited some of the buyers were with their purchases made her feel good. One man who flew in from Odessa to bid on one of two Marlin .22 caliber rifles — one sold for $71,700, the other for $83,650 — asked Holcomb and her sister, Tommye Tait, to sign his catalog after buying one of the rifles. “He said his kids couldn’t wait

“I’ve not ceased being amazed by her enduring legacy,” she said. Oakley’s Parker Brothers 12gauge shotgun garnered the highest price, $143,400. Tom Slater, director of Historical Auctions for Heritage, would not identify the gun’s buyer, but said he was a private collector of Oakley and Buffalo Bill items and had purchased a number of Sunday’s auction pieces. While the guns’ prices met the auction’s expectations, the letters and photographs exceeded what was anticipated by about 50 percent, Slater said.

to shoot it,” Holcomb said. The sisters inherited the items from their mother, Billie Butler Serene, who died in 2009 at the age of 95. Serene was raised by her grandparents, and her grandfather, William Butler, was the brother of Oakley’s husband, Frank Butler, a marksman who became Oakley’s manager. Oakley and Frank Butler frequently visited and Oakley taught Serene how to handle a gun. Holcomb said she grew up hearing stories about Oakley without fully realizing her impact.

Walk aims to improve lung health Lung Association sponsors Fight for Air Walk at King’s College’s Betzler Field. By STEVEN FONDO Times Leader Correspondent

WILKES-BARRE TWP. – Caring was the order of the day as more than150 people came out to King’s College’s Betzler Field on Saturday in support of the American Lung Association’s annual Fight for Air Walk. Many of those who participated in the event walked in memory or support of loved ones who live with or have died from lung disease.

According to the association, asthma affects two in five Americans and is the most chronic condition among children. It is responsible for more than 4,000 deaths each year. The mission of the Lung Association is to "save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease," according to the association’s website. The Goodwill Ambassador for this year’s walk was 6-year-old Jayda Robinson of Scranton. Jayda suffers from chronic asthma, and her mother Aubrey organized Team Jayda to participate in the Fight for Air Walk. Bagpiper Butch Modzelewski

Georgia police seeking toothpick thief The Associated Press

ATHENS, Ga. — Who says toothpicks are not valuable? Police in Georgia said they are trying to figure out who stole about 400,000 toothpicks worth nearly $3,000 from a manufacturer in Athens. Police tell the Athens BannerHerald someone took six cases from Armond’s Manufacturing Company Inc. about two weeks

ago, and another seven cases disappeared last weekend. Each case contains 288 packages of 100 toothpicks. Police said there were no signs of forced entry. The owner believes a current or former employee might be responsible. Two employees told the owner they saw a man selling containers of Armond’s toothpicks at a flea market last weekend.

cal marijuana and 14, including neighboring Connecticut and Massachusetts, have rolled back criminal penalties for possession of small amounts of pot. Rhode Island is poised to become the 15th state to decriminalize marijuana possession. The state’s General Assembly passed legislation last week that would eliminate the threat of big fines or even jail time for the possession of an ounce or less of pot. Instead, adults caught with small amounts of marijuana would face a $150 civil fine. Minors caught with pot would also have to complete a drug awareness program and community service. Gov. Lincoln Chafee has said he is inclined to sign the legislation. One of the bill’s sponsors, state Rep. John Edwards of Tiverton, has introduced similar proposals

in past years but the idea always sputtered in committee. Each year, though, he got more cosponsors, and the bill passed the House this year 50-24. The state Senate passed it 28-6. Some supporters of decriminalization say they’d like to go even further. “America’s 50-year war on drugs has been an abysmal failure,” said Rep. John Savage, a retired school principal from East Providence. “Marijuana in this country should be legalized. It should be sold and taxed.” Opponents warned of dire consequences to the new policy. “What kind of message are we sending to our youth? We are more worried about soda — for health reasons — than we are about marijuana,” said one opponent, Rhode Island state Rep. John Carnevale a Democrat from Providence.

of the Wyoming Valley Pipe and Drum Band led the walkers around their first circuit, the melodic strains of his instrument, showing the way. "My daughter comes in from Allentown every year to take part in the walk," said Modzelewski, who suffers from COPD and asthma. “It means a lot to me. I’ll keep coming out, as long as I’m able." Corporate sponsored teams from Best Buy, Kohl’s, Sam’s Club and Kindred Hospital contributed and participated in Saturday’s walk.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Catharine Leach is married and has two boys, age 2 and 8. She has a good job with a federal contractor and smokes pot most every day. While she worries that her public support for marijuana decriminalization and legalization could cost her a job or bring the police to her door, the 30-yearold Warwick resident said she was tired of feeling like a criminal for using a drug that she said is far less harmful than the glass or wine or can of beer enjoyed by so many others after a long day’s work. Like others around the nation working to relax penalties for possession of pot, she decided to stop hiding and speak out. “I’m done being afraid,” she said. “People in this country are finally coming around and seeing that putting someone in jail for this doesn’t make sense. It’s just a changing of the time.” Once consigned to the political fringe, marijuana policy is appearing on legislative agendas around the country thanks to an energized base of supporters and an increasingly open-minded public. Lawmakers from Rhode Island to Colorado are mulling medical marijuana programs, pot dispensaries, decriminalization and even legalization.

what sparked the fight. “Them being football players really has nothing to do with this. They’re victims of a shooting,” Dawson said. Turquorius Vines, 23, said he was at the party Saturday evening at the University Heights apartments with one of his friends, Pitts. He said he and his friend were approached by two other men who started arguing with them over a woman. Vines said he punched one of the men, while Pittshitbothofthe men over the head with a bottle. Either one or both of the two men then started shooting, he said. He

said Pitts was shot and killed, while two others also were hit by gunfire. Vines said he had never met the men he was arguing with. “It’s like I lost a lung,” Vines said of losing his friend. “I don’t know how I’m going to survive this.” It appeared that the shooting happened in an archway near the apartment complex information center, near the edge of the parking lot. Mack, the wounded player, is a junior offensive lineman from St. Matthews, S.C. He played in five games last season. Coach Gene Chizik said Mack was expected to make a full recovery. Christian is an offensive lineman who was out last season while dealing with a back injury. Phillips was a backup fullback. Chizik said in April that Phillips had decided to give up football. A person who answered the phone at the home of Phillips’ mother declined comment and said his family was too distraught to comment. “Nobody should ever have to endure such unimaginable grief, and we will love and support the victims’ families during this terribly difficult time,” Chizik said. “We have a lot of people on our football team that are hurting right now and we’re going to do everything we can to help them get through this.”

On Nov.15,1954, the cover of America’s leading newsmagazine carried a photo of a grinning George M. Leader with his hands clasped in victory over his head. For only the third time since the Civil War, a Democrat had been elected governor of Pennsylvania, part of a Democratic surge nationally. Editors of Time saw it as the biggest story of that year’s campaign. Today, a souvenir copy of the Time cover hangs in the offices of the George M. Leader Corp., inside a white house with green shutters along a rural road near Hershey. Leader, 94, is forgotten but not gone. Ten other governors have come along since Leader left Harrisburg in 1959 and settled into a quiet but prosperous life as the operator of nursing homes and long-term-care facilities. For decades, he has been almost invisible politically. He has seldom attended a political dinner, seldom sat on a dais. “When I do give a speech,” he jokes, “I say, ‘I am here tonight to prove I am still alive.’” Now he is again popping up his head politically. Six feet tall, with a raspy voice and white-on-white hair, Leader has lent his name to a campaign for prison reform. The campaign, “Real Corrections Reform, Right Now,” has brought together several dozen notables from the political left and right in an effort to reduce the inmate population. The group supports a bill that, among other things, would provide alcohol and drug treatment as an alternative to prison for many nonviolent offenders. With Matthew J. Brouillette,

president of the conservative Commonwealth Foundation, he recently co-signed an op-ed article that ran in a half-dozen newspapers across the state. “In the past 30 years, Pennsylvania’s incarceration rate exploded by more than 500 percent to more than 50,000 inmates, requiring the construction of 18 new prisons at a cost of $200 million, and millions more annually to maintain,” they wrote. “As a result,” they said, “spending on the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections grew 1,700 percent. At a cost of $35,000 per inmate per year, taxpayers have been ill served by a system that locks up more peo-

ple for longer periods but fails to deter future crimes.” Brouillette, 42, said he had enjoyed crossing political boundary lines to work with the liberal Leader, who was governor “before I was born.” Leader said his interest stemmed from work he has done with Second Chance Ministries, a Christian program that counsels inmates and seeks to help them stay free of crime when they get out. Prisons are so packed, he said, that even when an inmate’s time is up, it could take months before he is released because of backlogs in required drug-addiction prevention courses.

WORLD OPINION

Eurozone funding critical to helping Spain

PAIN’S BANKING crisis – even more than the political crisis in Greece – might prove to be the eurozone’s undoing. Urgent action is needed. Spanish officials hinted they would like Germany to come to its aid and allow eurozone rescue funds to lend money directly to its banks, which are overburdened with bad property debts. This is an idea worth considering. The situation in the fourth largest economy in the17-nation European currency bloc is critical, and the risks of contagion are huge. The government of Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy is reluctant to appeal directly for help from Europe’s bailout fund because then it would have to agree to a formal rescue program, with stringent conditions – and this would be politically difficult in a country already undergoing austerity measures.

Unlike Greece, Spain did not have a government deficit before the 2008 recession and did not lie about its financial books. Its economic woes were caused by a property boom, thanks in part to the single currency. When the bubble burst, the country was left a fiscal hole it could not repair and severe banking problems that it attempted to paper over, rather than undertake a painful restructuring. If eurozone countries injected funds into Spain’s banks, it would solve the immediate problem, increase confidence and help Spain undertake the necessary longer-term structural makeover. A more closely integrated banking regulatory system for eurozone countries would improve the ability of Spain and other members to weather severe financial-sector storms in the future.

Cheers to the monarchy

T HAD TO come to an end sometime. After days of pomp and pageantry, of waving flags and rousing music, the boats have been moored, the ceremonial uniforms set aside and the bunting taken down. The Diamond Jubilee is over, and we find ourselves back in a grimmer, grayer world – a place of government U-turns and doubledip recessions rather than street parties and good cheer. So what, as memories start to fade, will we remember of the Jubilee? The most obvious lessons are twofold. First, that Britain can still put on a show, no matter what obstacles the elements might put in its way. Second, and more profoundly,

that millions of the queen’s subjects wanted to take the chance, as the Prince of Wales said at the Jubilee concert, to say “thank you” – to assure her not just of their loyalty, but their gratitude for her 60 years of service. The Diamond Jubilee was a celebration of her person, and her reign, but it also was a celebration of that dynastic line, and the continuity it embodies. Indeed, the illness of the Duke of Edinburgh reminded us that we are ruled not by impersonal constitutional drones, but by a living, breathing family, one in whose triumphs and misfortunes the nation has long shared.

‘China threat’ just hype

S CHINA IS a large country with a rising influence on regional and world affairs, it is no surprise that China should have been in the spotlight at the three-day Asia Security Summit that concluded June 3 in Singapore. Beijing hopes such regional platforms will promote dialogue and cooperation to safeguard regional peace and stability. Still, some nations sought to use the Singapore forum, also known as the Shangri-La Dialogue, to try and sow seeds of discord and call for outside intervention in their disputes with China, alleging

Editorial Board

that Beijing is being belligerent over the South China Sea. But to set the record straight, the much-hyped “China threat” to the freedom of navigation is a figment of their imaginations. U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Asian nations must find a way to resolve their own conflicts because the United States cannot always come charging in to help. China is committed to working with its neighbors to bridge differences and solve regional issues, including the South China Sea disputes. China Today, Beijing

MALLARD FILLMORE

Job-killing regulations are hiking your electric bill WITH MORE than 12 million Americans unemployed and a national debt on pace to top $16 trillion this year, the problems facing our future are very clear – and, regardless of party affiliation, cannot be ignored or “spun.” Americans deserve to know that Congress has a plan to get our economy back on track. Unfortunately, the Obama-Casey economic agenda has left far too many Pennsylvanians without work and created a culture of dependency on the federal government, and it leaves little hope of future prosperity. In fact, President Obama and his administration imposed more than 75 new major regulations in the first 26 months in office, costing nearly $50 billion in taxpayer dollars. That’s more than any other president in the history of our nation. Regrettably, U.S. Sen. Robert Casey of Scranton has stood with the president on far too many of these. At a time when an alarming number of hardworking Americans are receiving an unemployment check instead of a paycheck, Sen. Casey seems to be in lock step with the campaigner-in-chief, President Obama. Late last year, the Environmental Protection Agency advocated for even more jobkilling regulations on the emissions from power plants through another burdensome regulation, a new Utility Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) rule. The estimated cost of the EPA’s regu-

MAIL BAG

COMMENTARY TOM SMITH lation to ratepayers will exceed $21 billion annually, or an average increase of 6.5 percent. Areas that rely on coal-fired electricity are threatened by as much as a 19 percent hike in cost. Even worse, the rule is regressive, harming lower-income Americans the hardest. It has been estimated that taxpayers who make less than $50,000 a year will pay roughly 21 percent of after-tax income on energy, compared to 9 percent for those making more. Furthermore, we know the Utility MACT rule will force many coal-fired plants across Pennsylvania to close because the cost of compliance is too high. In March, five coalfired power plants in our state announced they were closing due to the burdensome regulations from the Obama administration. Where was Sen. Casey in denouncing this rule when the plants announced their plans to close? These closures will lead directly to the loss of thousands of jobs in Pennsylvania and hundreds of thousands across the United States. Making matters worse, millions of homes and businesses will be footing the bill, as it will cost even more to accommodate their energy needs. Some estimates suggest that more than 1.4 million jobs could be lost as an effect of higher energy costs. Again, while the estimates of higher

costs have been made public, Sen. Casey has stood silent. There is hope to defeat this job-killing regulation. The Senate will have an opportunity to do what we know is right for the commonwealth by passing S.J Res. 37, introduced by U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla. This is a resolution of disapproval under the Congressional Review Act, which allows the resolution to bypass the procedural hurdles and pass the Senate with a simple majority. This is the only chance to repeal and replace another Obama economic regulation that threatens the jobs of hardworking Americans throughout our state and country. Sen. Inhofe is not alone. More than 10 organizations representing more than 50,000 employees, 30 county commissioners and 80 state legislators in Pennsylvania have voiced support of S.J. Res. 37. U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey of Zionsville also has advocated strong support of the measure. Sadly, his colleague, Sen. Bob Casey, has not echoed Sen. Toomey’s opposition to the job-killing Utility MACT regulations. Hopefully, he will support this, and I am asking him to do so. Americans deserve a reliable, affordable and abundant source of domestic energy, and the future success of our economy demands it. Instead Sen. Casey’s silence only reaffirms what I fear, which is he places the president and party politics ahead of the hardworking Pennsylvanians he represents. Tom Smith, a Republican from Armstrong County, is a candidate for U.S. Senate.

ver the past few years I’ve been going to the Wilkes-Barre VA Medical Center and am very pleased and impressed with the quality of my care, the professionalism of the staff and the modernization of the equipment. This is a great contrast to what I encountered when I returned from Vietnam. Today the hospital is modern and the staff can’t do enough for you. They do not hesitate to send you to a specialist or bring in one if required. Their appointment system is great. Using your computer, you can check appointments, refill prescriptions and check your test results. You also can email questions to your physician. I’ve also had dental work done that would have cost me tens of thousands of dollars. If anyone has had a bad experience in the past at the Wilkes-Barre VA Medical Center, I encourage him/her to try it today. I express my sincere gratitude and appreciation to all the medical center staff. I feel that the level of care received there far exceeds any private hospital in the area,

and I firmly believe that it is one of the best medical systems in the country. William J. McCue Olyphant

Writer criticizes bonus given to coordinator

DOONESBURY

during last year’s flooding. The first thing that comes to mind is that all of our employees have worked the past two years without any pay increase. This pay freeze presumably was requested by council and Mazur. Second, Plymouth has increased taxes 167 percent over the last three years. Third, volunteers in Plymouth worked long and hard during last year’s flooding. These folks care about our community. They didn’t ask for, or seek, anything for their services. Without those volunteers and our regular employees, who did not receive any additional compensation, Plymouth and its residents would have been in serious circumstances. I am amazed some council members seemingly did not take the above into consideration. They quickly, and apparently without notice to all council members, singled out one person for a monetary reward, while ignoring our volunteers and employees. This is not a one-man show. Everyone who helped during the emergency should have been “thanked.” Will politics never cease? Clif Madrack Plymouth

Trial won’t be last word in Sandusky sex case Trial of former Penn State assistant football coach opens today before a central Pennsylvania jury. By MARK SCOLFORO Associated Press

BELLEFONTE — The trial of Jerry Sandusky, which will begin today when prosecutors and his lawyer make opening statements before a Centre County jury, will probably be over in a few weeks. But when it comes to getting to the bottom of what happened, it will definitely not be the final word. Testimony in the child sex abuse case will focus on the 52 counts and 10 accusers for which the 68-year-old former Penn State assistant football coach could, if convicted, spend the rest of his life behind the bars of a state prison. There are many other questions, however, being asked in a number of forums that would have to be answered for the complete story to come to light. First and foremost, the state Attorney General’s Office has repeatedly indicated it has an “active and ongoing” related investigation, and the mere existence of the open investigation suggests additional criminal charges could result. The university has said its president has been in talks with state prosecutors about when he will appear before a grand jury to answer questions, and Penn State disclosed last month that it would cover legal expenses of eight employees who also received subpoenas this year. Citing a gag order, a spokesman for the attorney general declined to comment on the current status of the investigation, which is also obscured by the secrecy rules that govern operation of investigative grand juries in the state. There also clearly is a federal investigation, but there are few details beyond the fact that Penn State said that in February it had been issued a wide-ranging subpoena from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Harrisburg, seeking computer records and other information. Amanda Endy, a spokeswoman for the office, said Thursday that federal prosecutors have not commented on the topic and declined a request to discuss any update. The state grand jury that investigated

mon pleas judge and now a defense attorney, said what the defense has in its favor is that Centre County Judge John Cleland ruled the victims must use their real names when testifying. “It could cause them to retreat and shy away from testifying,” Olszewski said. Attorney Tom Marsilio, a longtime defense attorney and former prosecutor, said he would have to give the edge to the prosecution. “(Prosecutor) Joe McGettigan will take no prisoners,” Marsilio said of his former colleague, whom he worked with in the state Attorney General’s Office. “He has 35 to 40 years of experience. He’s tough.” Victims of sexual abuse tend not to report the abuse to authorities due to fear, repercussions and public reprisal, Olszewski said. Now that the victims must use their names, Olszewski said, they will not only be known in Centre County, but everywhere in the United States. “The whole world is watching this case,” Olszewski said. But former county district attorney and longtime prosecutor Jackie Musto Carroll disagrees with that assessment. “(The victims) knew they were going to have to testify and do it in front of other people,” she said. “Hopefully, they are strong enough to continue to go forward.” Musto Carroll, who now runs a

Jerry Sandusky walks into the Centre County Courthouse in Bellefonte last Tuesday for a day of jury selection for his trial set to get started this morning.

Sandusky reported one accuser claimed to have been sexually abused while attending bowl games with Sandusky in Florida or Texas, which could raise legal issues best addressed by the federal system. Penn State has spent millions of dollars already on its own investigation into the matter, led by former federal judge Louis Freeh, who spent eight years as FBI director. That report is expected to be issued after the Sandusky criminal trial ends, perhaps in August, and should add substantially to what is known about the scandal. “They’ve interviewed over 400 current and former employees from numerous departments, such as the academic, administrative, and athletic departments; current and past trustees,” university spokesman Dave La Torre said Thursday. He said the objective was to

figure out how the alleged crimes occurred and recommend changes, and to review Penn State’s handling of sex crimes and misconduct. The Big 10 Conference and the NCAA have contacted Penn State to indicate their interest in the matter. A Big 10 spokesman said Friday its review was ongoing and could not provide a status update. The NCAA launched its inquiry into potential rules violations in November, asking Penn State to explain how it applied “institutional control” in the matter, whether school officials followed their policies on honesty and ethical conduct, and asking what steps have been taken to prevent a similar episode. On Thursday, the NCAA issued a statement saying the school was still collecting information from a special investigative counsel and that when the

“If eight victims testify, I think that bodes well for the commonwealth. Often times, one child testifies or a few people in a family setting. Basically, (these witnesses) are adults. It’s important for the jury to determine whether or not their statements can be trusted.” Jackie Musto Carroll Former county district attorney

private law firm in Pittston, agreed with Olszewski on the credibility of the victims testimony being what the prosecution relies on most. “If eight victims testify, I think that bodes well for the commonwealth. Often times, one child testifies or a few people in a family setting,” Musto Carroll said. “Basically, (these witnesses) are adults. It’s important for the jury to determine whether or not their statements can be trusted.” Marsilio said the defense argument that the victims are all part of a conspiracy just doesn’t happen on a regular basis. They will be required to testify truthfully. “With that many accusers up there testifying, it’s not going to bode well for Jerry Sandusky,” Marsilio said. Musto Carroll said another point for the prosecution was scored when Sandusky’s preliminary hearing was waived, not giving defense attorneys a chance to hear what victims had to say before an actual trial. “They don’t have the information. They will be seeing these witnesses testify for the first time,” Musto Carroll said of Sand-

usky’s defensive team. Long sentence likely For prosecutors, they only need a conviction on one or two of the felonies Sandusky is charged with for him to essentially serve a life sentence, Olszewski said. Several of the felony charges of the first degree carry a minimum 10-to-20-year sentence, while felonies of the second degree, a minimum 5-to-10-year sentence. “Even if he gets the minimum on three (second-degree felonies) consecutive to each other, he’ll be in prison until he’s 83 years old,” Olszewski said. He said it will be difficult for defense attorneys to prove there was some type of conspiracy between the victims. For defense attorneys, is easier to disprove one or two witnesses, but with 10, Olszewski says it will be difficult to prove they are all lying. Defense attorneys will likely question witnesses about civil lawsuits they have pending against Sandusky, Olszewski said. Attorneys can begin with questioning such as if the witnesses have private attorneys and if there is a civil suit in the proc-

school’s investigation was complete, the school would likely respond to NCAA president Mark Emmert’s original questions. The results could lead to a formal NCAA investigation into possible rules violations. La Torre said the NCAA and Big 10 have told the university they would wait until Sandusky’s trial has ended before any formal investigations are launched. The U.S. Department of Education has been looking into whether the school violated the Clery Act, which requires reporting of crimes on campus, in the case of the Sandusky allegations. La Torre said that as part of the Clery Act review, Penn State has turned over a large number of documents and files and made its employees available to answer questions and discuss procedures. Last month Penn State disclosed it had hired someone to train and monitor its em-

ess. “(Sandusky’s attorneys) have something to gain and it could cut down (the witnesses) credibility,” Olszewski said. It will be crucial for the defense team to attack the credibility of the victims, Marsilio said. “Without a doubt, (the civil lawsuits) are one way the defense can (do that),” Marsilio said. “Are they (testifying against Sandusky) for financial gain?” Musto Carroll said sexual assault cases are the hardest to prosecute because of the victims, their emotional and physical scars and dealing with the abuse it self. “The more evidence in the case, the better,” Musto Carroll said. “But with these cases, they simply come down to a person’s statement. The jury will have to decide if what they say sounds credible.” Scientific evidence could certainly help prosecutors, Musto Carroll said, but it’s not necessary. Passage of time factor What works in favor of the defense team, Musto Carroll says, is the passage of time from when the offenses allegedly occurred until the time of the trial. “Maybe the witnesses can’t remember some details,” Musto Carroll said. She said she also thinks the defense may have another advantage with the civil lawsuit that are pending. “If the jury thinks there are motives for these people coming forward other than to seek justice, such as money that may weigh in favor of the defendant,” she said.

ployees to comply with the Clery Act. An Education Department spokesman, Chris Greene, declined to comment Thursday on the status of that investigation. The Second Mile, a charity for at-risk youth founded by Sandusky in 1977, and where prosecutors allege he met and groomed alleged victims, had announced a Philadelphia law firm was conducting an internal investigation with an eye toward recommending changes in its future operations. But two weeks ago The Second Mile announced it was seeking court approval to cease operations and transfer programs to a Texas-based youth ministry for abused and neglected children. It’s not clear what that has meant for the future of its investigation, including whether any results will be made public. Messages seeking comment on the topic from David Woodle, The Second Mile’s interim president, were not returned. Two Penn State administrators are awaiting trial on charges they failed to properly report suspected abuse and lied to the grand jury investigating Sandusky. The pending charges raise the prospect that investigators under the Attorney General’s Office might be continuing to look into that matter, which commonly occurs after charges are filed and before trial. Finally, several plaintiff’s lawyers have surfaced, although only one has filed a complaint, in Philadelphia. That case is on hold until Sandusky’s trial wraps up, and other lawyers also have indicated they are holding back until a verdict is reached. Civil litigation has a lower burden of proof than criminal cases and could potentially force Sandusky to undergo questioning under oath. That process might produce information that none of the other probes will reveal, said Richard Serbin, an Altoona lawyer who has successfully pursued sex abuse lawsuits against the Catholic Church in Pennsylvania. “There’s not only Sandusky, but there are those individuals or legal entities that may have knowledge or should have had knowledge and failed to take appropriate action,” Serbin said. How much public information civil litigation might produce remains to be seen — only a small percentage of such lawsuits go to trial, Serbin said.

they hear within the four walls of the courtroom? Olszewski said attorneys would be hard-pressed to select a jury that had no connection to Penn State, as the school is Centre County’s largest employer. The former judge cited jury selections he presided over in for the homicide trials of Henry Stubbs and Hugo Selenski. “Everyone knew about the cases, and there were headlines in the paper every week,” Olszewski said. “Though, the jury members assured the attorneys they could appropriately decide the case. I thought it would be difficult to get a jury.” Attorney Tom Marsilio recalled a case he prosecuted in 1989 for a husband and wife charged with murder after their 14-year-old son starved to death. Marsilio, who prosecuted the case, said jury selection began in Luzerne County, but after two weeks it was clear a jury could not be selected.

“We picked the jury in Philadelphia and held the trial in Luzerne County,” Marsilio said. “It was a high-profile, highly publicized case.” Attorney Jackie Musto Carroll said in the limited time attorneys and the judge have to meet with potential jurors, it’s hard to get a good feel for what kind of person each of them are. “The jurors obviously expressed themselves (to the attorneys), and both sides felt comfortable choosing them,” Musto Carroll said. “If (the attorneys) didn’t like them, they could strike them.” She and Marsilio said that with jurors having connections to Penn State, attorneys could see that two ways. “The defense may feel (a juror) has a connection to Penn State, and that they will not tarnish Penn State’s name any further and find a person not guilty,” Musto Carroll said. For prosecutors, a juror with a connection to Penn State may find what the school has been through is terrible and find Sandusky guilty. “They may want to vindicate and restore the good name of Penn State,” Marsilio said.

Supreme Court undoing 2010 health law could have messy ripple effects By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR Associated Press

WASHINGTON — It sounds like a silver lining. Even if the Supreme Court overturns President Barack Obama’s healthcare law, employers can keep offering popular coverage for the young adult children of their workers. But here’s the catch: The parents’ taxes would go up. That’s only one of the messy

potential ripple effects when the Supreme Court delivers its verdict on the Affordable Care Act this month. The law affects most major components of the U.S. health care system in its effort to extend coverage to millions of uninsured people. Because the legislation is so complicated, an orderly unwinding would prove difficult if it were overturned entirely or in part. Better Medicare prescription

benefits, currently saving hundreds of dollars for older people with high drug costs, would be suspended. Ditto for preventive care with no co-payments, now available to retirees and working families alike. Partially overturning the law could leave hospitals, insurers and other service providers on the hook for tax increases and spending cuts without the law’s promise of more paying custom-

ers to offset losses. If the law is upheld, other kinds of complications could result. The nation is so divided that states led by Republicans are largely unprepared to carry out critical requirements such as creating insurance markets. Things may not settle down. "At the end of the day, I don’t think any of the major players in the health insurance industry or the provider community really

wants to see the whole thing overturned," said Christine Ferguson, a health policy expert who was commissioner of public health in Massachusetts when Mitt Romney was governor. While it’s unclear how the justices will rule, oral arguments did not go well for the Obama administration. The central issue is whether the government can require individuals to have health

insurance and fine them if they don’t. That mandate takes effect in 2014, at the same time that the law would prohibit insurance companies from denying coverage to people with existing health problems. Most experts say the coverage guarantee would balloon costs unless virtually all people joined the insurance pool.

SS Gow delivers under pressure

The Nanticoke senior has a career .636 batting average in the state tournament. By JOHN MEDEIROS jmedeiros@timesleader.com

She is the unofficial face of the franchise, even though she is not a flame-throwing pitcher with hundreds of strikeouts nor a 6-foot slugger who is a three-run homer threat every time she stands in the batter’s box. No, Sammy Gow -- as described by Gow herself -is "just one player on the team." That is a recipe for success at any level when a player such as the all-state shortstop is just Gow one of the talented players on the field, as she will be today, when Nanticoke faces Warrior For updates from the semiRun in the PIAA final game, visit Class 2A softwww.times ball semifinals leader.com at Bloomsburg Univeristy. "I don’t put a lot of pressure on myself," Gow said. "We’re here because of the whole team. Everyone has their own strengths to contribute. I don’t listen to that stuff (the hype around her). She was the pitcher, but that was back in her Minor Division days. And at 5-foot-6, she will never have a menacing appearance at the plate when she stands in from her leadoff spot. But Gow is a complete package as far as athletes go, contributing in every way for her team. "Sammy is our leader. There’s no question about it," her coach said. "She’s a great athlete. She’s like my little coach (out there). Even when you don’t see a lot ... in the boxscore, people don’t see the things that she does on a regular basis for us." That coach wasn’t softball coach Gary Williams, but was Nanticoke basketball coach Alan Yendrziewski in February, putting into words the intangibles Gow brings to a team. The four-year starter is a player opponents have noted for years. Gow scored the state-championship winning run in 2010, touching home in front of Kayley Schinski on a double by Maggie Gola in the 11th inning against PhilipsburgOsceola. She started the inning at second base as part of softball’s tiebreaker. The batter who makes the last out of the previous inning starts the next frame at second base.

LONG POND – Mark Martin was in his15th full season in Sprint Cup when an11-year-old racer caught his eye. That same kid – a grown-up Joey Logano – caught NASCAR’s elder statesman Sunday. The 22-year-old Logano passed 53-year-old Martin with four laps remaining to win the Pocono 400 PreINSIDE sented by #NASSECOND AGAIN: Mark CAR.

But the victory – the second in his 125race Cup career – could serve as an impetus. “I haven’t been informed to where I stand next year yet,” said Logano, who is in his final year of his contract. “So it’s all up in the air. Winning a race means a lot and helps that out a ton for sure. My future is not set with anybody, so you need to go out there and win races.” Logano ran well all day. He led 48 of the 160 laps – most of any driver – but toward the end he didn’t seem destined for victory. The race was progressing to a fuel-mileage duel, and Hendrick Motorsports teammates Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jeff Gordon appeared to have themselves set up perfectly. See LOGANO, Page 3B

Riders try to beat heat at Luzerne Criterium Tunkhannock’s David Novak claims an impressive victory in the 41-mile feature. By JOE SOPRANO Jsoprano@timesleader.com

LUZERNE -- Last year at the Luzerne Criterium and Festival, riders had to deal with rain while navigating the .9-mile course in the borough’s downtown. On Sunday, riders didn’t have to deal with rain. Instead it was the heat that greeted riders in nine different

category of races as the sun beat down on the course and temperatures reached the high 80s. “Well, I am a dehydrated now,” David Novak said after completing the 41-mile Pro 123

race. Still, the 19-year-old from Tunkhannock didn’t let the high temperatures keep him from putting on a show in the day’s featured event.

Novak and Matt Waller, a 20year-old racing for Tri State Velo Club, went on a two-man break just five laps into the race, eventually lapping the field. “I was actually expecting it to be faster,” Novak said. “But I got in that break for the first (in-race sprint), and I decided to just go for it.” Novak cruised from there, leading most of the race and pulling away from Waller in the final straightaway for the victory. He finished in 1 hour, 42 minutes, 9 seconds. Waller was a second behind and the rest of the

field trailed by at least a minute. “It’s nice to win a hometown race – or at least one close to your hometown,” Novak said. In the day’s final race, Luke Lukas, riding for the Upstate Velo Club, put on a show almost as impressive as Novak’s. After dropping out of the Pro 123 race after a few laps because of the heat, Lukas went out on a two-man break of his own in the day’s nightcap, the junior race for 15- to 18-year-old riders. The 18-year-old Lukas and 15See LUZERNE, Page 4B

Shock reigns as Pacquiao loses decision By TIM DAHLBERG AP Boxing Writer

LAS VEGAS — Timothy Bradley promised to shock, though the biggest shock in his fight with Manny Pacquiao came from the judges’ scorecards. In a fight Pacquiao seemed to have in hand, two judges decided otherwise, giving Bradley a split decision Saturday night and ending the Filipino fighter’s remarkable seven-year unbeaten run. Promoter Bob Arum fumed, the crowd at the MGM Grand arena booed, and Pacquiao seemed stunned when the decision was announced. Arum said there would be a November re-

It ended a 15-fight winning streak by Pacquiao dating to 2005 that turned him into a boxing superstar and made him a national hero in the Philippines. “I thought I won the fight,” Bradley said. “I didn’t think he was as good as everyone says he was. I didn’t feel his power.” Ringside punching statistics showed Pacquiao landing 253 punches to 159 for Bradley, who vowed before the fight to take the 147-pound title from Pacquiao. The Compubox statistics showed Pacquiao landing more punches in 10 of the 12 rounds. Bradley was so confident that he had oversized tickets printed up for a Nov. 10 rematch that will now likely happen. Bradley seemed hurt in the fourth and fifth rounds, but Pacquiao had trouble landing big punches after that. Still, he

match, though he blasted the way the decision went down. “I’ve never been as ashamed of the sport of boxing as I am tonight,” said Arum, who handles both fighters. Bradley came on strong in the later rounds, winning five of the last six rounds on two scorecards and four on the third. He won 115-113 on two scorecards, while losing on the third by the same margin. The Associated Press had Pacquiao winning 117-111. “I did my best,” Pacquiao said. “I guess my best wasn’t good enough.” Pacquiao tried to turn the fight into a brawl, using his power to hurt Bradley in the early rounds. But Bradley changed tactics in the middle rounds and used his boxing skills to win enough rounds to take the narrow decision for the welterweight title.

LONG POND -- Poor Mark Martin. It happened again to him at Pocono Raceway, where his attempted victory runs always seem to turn to near-misses. This time, Martin was bumped out of the lead Sunday, and essentially victory lane, late in the Pocono 400 by winner Joey Logano. And it left Martin wondering if a win would ever come for him at Pocono, where he always seems to add to a string of second-place

Martin made a great late-race pass of Logano for the lead on a restart, and clung to the front position until the 197th lap. That’s when something weird happened, like it always seems to for Martin at Pocono. His car wobbled a bit coming out of turn three, giving Logano just enough space to make a move for the lead. And Logano got it the old-fashioned way on a NASCAR track, tapping Martin’s bumper and

prove of Logano’s move. "It has been acceptable in this racing for a long time. It’s not how I would have done it. If I had a fast enough car, he’d have gotten a return. (But) I couldn’t keep up with him." It put Martin on the fast track to more heartbreak in Long Pond. He has been running at Pocono since 1982, making Sunday his 51st race at the track.

tion-filled start. A bizarre rash of penalties produced some equally bizarre theories behind them, including whether the pace car driven by Vanilla Ice before the race had gone too fast. But the answer, according to NASCAR, was a simple one. Pocono Raceway’s facelift included changes to the segments on pit

road, and some drivers failed to adjust. “It’s a brand new pit road. It’s not the same length that it was a year ago,” said Robin Pemberton, NASCAR’s vice president for competition. “The sections aren’t the same as they were a year ago.” In particular, the final segment before coming off of the pits was shorter. Less distance to cover means a smaller margin for error in the timing system used to check for speeding. Of the 22 infractions handed

out, 20 were for exiting pit road and only two were for entering. “Typically when you see short sections at the end, or even getting into pit road, you get a rash of speeding penalties,” Pemberton said. “It’s just a fact. The majority came on the very last section.” Travis Kvapil managed to get caught speeding four times. David Reutimann was hit three times while A.J. Allmendinger, Brad Keselowski and Johnson all got it twice. Johnson admitted he probably

overdid it to earn his first penalty. But the second one, which came while he was serving the first, perplexed him. “I waited (to hit the gas at the end of the last segment), and I still got pinned,” Johnson said. “Things were just repaved. Everything has been redone and we need to physically walk down there and mark it off ourselves to understand what happened there. “We got nailed along with a lot of other guys.” NASCAR officials distributed

maps of pit road throughout the week, which happens at every track -- renovations or not. As the penalties mounted, they served as a warning to other drivers, who said they deliberately took it slower on pit road so they wouldn’t get busted. “I think the problems today were guys just being a little too aggressive on pit road,” said Jason Ratcliff, crew chief for race winner Joey Logano. “Knowing how critical track position was, all day, I’d say that was the problem.”

LONG POND – A seventhplace finish Sunday by Matt Kenseth at the Pocono 400 vaulted him into the points lead, as both he and Dale Earnhardt Jr. jumped ahead of Greg Biffle in the Sprint Cup Series standings. Biffle finished 24th after spending some time on pit road with his No.16 3M Ford Fusion’s hood up. The team said the engine lost a cylinder. His troubles cost him two spots in the standings. “It’s unfortunate we fell back that far, but the points are so tight,” Biffle said. “We knew that if we had an issue we were gonna drop a lot – if we got in a wreck or had an engine problem or a mechanical issue or flat tire. You’re vulnerable when you’re only one point or 10 points ahead, but that’s racing,” Only100 points separates first and11th in the standings and only 30 points are the difference between first and fifth place. Kyle Busch’s engine failure and 30th-place finish in Sunday’s race was more damaging, as it knocked him out of the top-10 in points heading into next week’s race in Michigan. He was ninth coming into the weekend. He is now 12th, six points out of 10th place. His Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Joey Logano won Sunday’s race and moved up one position to15th in the standings. Brad Keselowski, who finished 18th, picked up enough points to enter the top-10. Other than Busch, each of the nine other drivers who entered Sunday in the top-10 in points remained, though several shuffled positions. Kevin Harvick moved up to sixth, swapping places with Martin Truex Jr., who fell to seventh. Clint Bowyer moved up from 10th to ninth thanks to his sixthplace finish Sunday. Denny Hamlin remained fourth, Jimmie Johnson remained fifth and Tony Stewart remained eighth. Kenseth, who now leads Earnhardt by 10 points in the standings, focused his comments on disappointment that he didn’t win the race, something he thought he had the car to do it with. “I couldn’t go on restarts,” Kenseth said. “I thought I was getting a good roll at them, but they would just kind of drive by me. That’s frustrating. We’ll keep working on it, but I’m happy we got a decent finish and took over the points lead.”

TENNIS: FRENCH OPEN

Rain halts Nadal, Djokovic final Championship is stopped during the fourth set and is slated to resume Monday. By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer

PARIS — His big lead over Novak Djokovic in Sunday’s drenched French Open final slipping away, Rafael Nadal tossed a soaked, clay-smeared tennis ball toward the chair umpire. A drizzle was now a downpour, making the balls heavy, the clay court slippery and changing the complexion of a match with so much at stake: Djokovic’s bid to become the first man in 43 years to win four consecutive Grand Slam titles, and Nadal’s attempt to become the first man to win seven titles at the tourna-

ment. Moments later, play was suspended with the No. 2-seeded Nadal trying to protect a 6-4, 6-3, 2-6, 1-2 lead over a surging Djokovic, who’s seeded No. 1. A tarp was pulled over the court, and after another hour or so, the decision was made to stop for the day and resume Monday. Yes, this French Open already has made history, but not for a reason that was expected: It’s the first time since 1973 that the tournament at Roland Garros didn’t conclude on a Sunday. This sort of thing is becoming a regular occurrence at tennis’ top tournaments: The U.S. Open men’s final has been postponed from Sunday to Monday each of the past four years because of rain. Unlike at Wimbledon and the Australian Open, neither the

French Open nor U.S. Open has an indoor court available for tournament play; there is a plan to have a retractable roof in Paris five years from now. Nadal and Djokovic were scheduled to resume at 1 p.m. local time (7 a.m. EDT) on Monday, when the forecast calls for intermittent rain. NBC, which aired Sunday’s action, said Monday’s U.S. TV coverage will shift to NBC Sports Network, a cable channel in about 35 million fewer homes than the broadcast network. Nadal and Djokovic will return Monday, surely hoping they’re not subjected to what happened 39 years ago, the last time the French Open stretched beyond Sunday: Ilie Nastase’s victory over Nikki Pilic in the 1973 final ended on Tuesday.

The duo took turns doing the work at the head of the race before Lukas pulled away on the final lap. “No race goes like you think it’s going to, but I guess this one did today,” Lukas said. Although he added that he nearly crashed out of the race on the final turn. He said he took the turn a little too hard and his back tire “skided and almost went out.” In the first race of the day, the Upstate Velo Club’s Rob Price went on a solo break with eight laps left in the 21-mile Cat 4 race PETE G.

Outfielders are key to Nanticoke’s success By JOHN MEDEIROS jmedeiros@timesleader.com

In youth leagues, the best softball players are usually on the infield and those with a few holes in their games take spots in the outfield. In Nanticoke, coach Gary Williams has himself a group of starting outfielders who excel in all facets of the game. And his talented trio came together by accident. Literally. “I love the outfield,” left fielder Katie Kowalski said. “I was a shortstop until I got hit in the mouth with a ball. Now, I cannot keep my head down on a ground ball.” “I got hit in the mouth, too,” right fielder Kayla Benjamin said. “We’ve all played on the infield before.” “We were all probably pitchers at one time,” said center fielder Ange Hillan, who smiled and re-

remarkable, as she has more hits than outs in her PIAA playoff career. "Sammy is on fire right now," Williams said. "We couldn’t ask for anything more from her." Gow has hits in all six of her career state playoff games and sports a .636 batting average in

plied “no” when asked if she had been driven from the dirt by a stray ball as well. The outfielders have been key to Nanticoke’s success. This group was in the lineup two years ago during the Trojanettes last state championship. Whether it’s Benjamin going 2-for-2 against Dunmore in districts, or Kowalski getting two hits in the district final versus Lakeland, or Hillan starting a double play Thursday against Kutztown, this group is integral to Nanticoke’s chances. Defensively, they have not committed an error all season. “We get to use our speed out there,” Hillan said of their defensive work. Offensively, Hillan is second on the team in runs (28) and batting average (.436), and third in hits (34) and RBI (19). Kowalski is tied for the team lead in homers (4), and is second in RBI (27) and triples (3). They have been entrenched near the top of the batting order. Benjamin moved from the middle of the order to the No. 9 spot just before the postseason, PIAA play. She has four multi-hit games. And this season, her average is an off-the-charts .875 in two games, raising her season number 46 points from a level she was not satisfied with to its current .350. "I’ve been in a slump for a while," Gow said. "I tried to practice with my dad to get out of it. For a little while, I lost confidence but my teammates really picked me up." Gow is also the keystone of one of the best defensive teams in the

PICTURE THIS. It’s the end of July and you are the general manager of a division-leading Major League team. You have a decent pitching staff, but you’d like to add another starter to help in your title run. You look around your organization, get together a nice little group of prospects and make an offer. There’s a little back-and-forth, counter offers, tweaks and then ... success. You’ve made yourself a trade. And you hope it turns into a Cliff Lee in 2009-type deal rather than a Carlos Beltran in 2011 debacle. That’s the real world. Fantasy trades are a little more dicey. Many owners are often reluctant to make a deal. And others will only make one if they are on the winning end of a lopsided outcome. Still, if you can navigate through all the scaredycats and rip-off artists, there are some good players out there for the taking. Let’s break them down into three categories, injured stars, underperforming players with upside and deals of the century … for the year. INJURED STARS: Owners who drafted the Phillies’ Ryan Howard and Chase Utley and Boston’s Carl Crawford knew they were getting “damaged goods” to start the season. The hope was these guys would be ready to go by mid-season and they’d have themselves a bargain. But rehabs for all three have dragged on longer than expected. Which is where you come in. Hope a Howard, Utley or Crawford owner has become fed up, and offer a mid-level player for one of these guys. It’s

where her .302 batting average and 20 runs can keep innings going. “It’s like she’s an extra leadoff hitter,” Kowalski said. “My job’s to get a runner on base with the top of the order coming up behind me,” Benjamin said. “Coach said this would be better for the team, so I understood.” Benjamin’s .413 on-base percentage, fifth on the team, makes her dangerous in a spot normally used to hide a weakness. “On our team, it’s like we don’t have a bottom of the order,” Hillan said. With no easy outs in the lineup, Nanticoke’s aim is to find its pitches against Warrior Run’s Tay Parker. While the District 4 champion is something of a mystery to the Trojanettes, they have been made aware of the junior, who has fanned 227 this season. “We know they have a pretty good pitcher,” Benjamin said. “She has a YouTube video, but you can’t really tell anything from it.” “We know we have to lay off the high ones,” Hillan said. “We

have to be selective.” The only history between some of the players came in a Little League state semifinal in 2009, when Nanticoke-Newport was on its way to a state title. “I don’t know,” said Kowalski, who played on that state champion. “We beat them, but I don’t remember anything about the game.” The 15-2 Nanticoke-Newport win was impressive, but it doesn’t matter today. “You don’t go in there like you’re going to walk all over them,” Kowalski said. “We need to play our game,” Hillan said. “We know not to take them lightly. This is the state semifinals, obviously they are a good team.” The Defenders (23-2) will be playing their fourth state playoff game in school history. They are 2-1 all-time in the PIAA tournament. Warrior Run is coached by Garth Watson and has one starting senior, shortstop Carisa Swartz. Nanticoke (23-3) is seeking its seventh consecutive state playoff victory.

DIRECTIONS Bloomsburg University: Take I-81 South to I-80 West. Take Exit 236A onto Lightstreet Rd. (Route 487). Go about 1.5 miles and turn right at traffic light onto Country

Club Rd. Drive up hill and turn right on first road after Nelson Field House. Hutchinson Field will be ahead on the left. First pitch is 4 p.m.

state. Hit a ball in the hole or up the middle and, if she gets a glove on it, the batter is likely out. It all comes from the work she’s done in the backyard with her father for years, as well as being part of a

team with all her friends. "We all have a lot of confidence," Gow said. "We’ve all been together for so long. Most of us have been playing together since we were 9."

RICH SHEPOSH FANTASY SPORTS a bit of a risk. All three need time to regain their form. But you’re playing for the fall here, so the risk is worth it. UNDERPERFORMING PLAYERS: OK, so you’re not going to get Albert Pujols or Matt Kemp in a realistic trade. Don’t even dream about it. But you might be able to pry lose Nationals’ 3B Ryan Zimmerman, Yankees’ 1B Mark Teixeira, Rays’ SP James Shields or Angels’ SP Dan Haren. Zimmerman and Teixeira have not come close to their usual numbers, so far. Key words: So far. Zimmerman has dealt with some injuries this year and is starting to wake up. Teixeira is a notorious secondhalf player who can carry a team in August and September. Shields and Haren are top-15 pitchers who have been having tough years …. SO FAR. (Remember those words.) You may be able to get them for a decent trade price. If you can, do it. DEALS OF THE CENTURY, FOR THE YEAR: If you don’t like a side order of risk with your transactions, then you might as well go for the gusto. If you want a big star, you gotta think big. You also have to overpay. Go for the “newer” fantasy stars. Owners will want to hold on to Josh Hamilton or Ryan Braun, but they might be willing to part with someone who doesn’t have a track record. The Orioles OF Adam Jones, Giants OF Melky Cabrera or Indians 2B Jason Kipnis fall into this category. All three are having great years and are more than likely to keep up the pace. (Don’t tell that to their owners, of course.) They’d look much better on YOUR roster than someone else’s.

Yankees’ Dewayne Wise, front left, and Alex Rodriguez, right, celebrate with Russell Martin, center, after Martin’s gamewinning solo home run in the ninth inning Sunday in New York.

Yankees get a subway sweep NEW YORK — Russell Martin led off the ninth with his second homer of the game and the New York Yankees took advantage of some shoddy infield defense to beat the Mets 5-4 Sunday for a three-game sweep. The Mets could not hold an early 3-0 lead, but tied it at 4-4 in the top of the ninth on Ike Davis’ RBI double off reliever Rafael Soriano. In the seventh, Martin hit a two-run homer off the top of the wall in right field after third baseman David Wright’s throwing error extended the inning to pull the Yankees to 3-2. Mark Teixeira tied it at 3-3 with an RBI single in the eighth and Alex Rodriguez gave the Yankees the lead with a bloop single. Martin started the ninth and hit a full-count pitch off Jon Rauch (3-6) to left field. Boone Logan (1-0) got two outs with runners on first and third in relief of Soriano, who blew his first save chance since filling in for the injured Mariano Rivera. Orioles 5, Phillies 4, 10 Innings

BALTIMORE — Matt Wieters doubled home the winning run in the bottom of the 10th inning and Baltimore beat Philadelphia to extend its run of successive extra-inning victories to nine. Steve Tolleson hit a threerun homer for the Orioles, who bounced back from a 4-1 deficit to keep Phillies starter Cliff Lee winless this season. Baltimore took two of three from the Phillies, including a 12-inning win Saturday. The nine straight extra-inning victories is an Orioles record, breaking the mark of eight set twice previously. Nationals 4, Red Sox 3

BOSTON — Roger Bernadina doubled with two outs in the ninth inning, driving in Bryce Harper for the go-ahead run, and Washington held off slumping Boston to finish a three-game sweep. Danny Espinosa doubled twice and drove in two runs for the Nationals, a franchise that had never won at Fenway Park coming into the series. Rays 4, Marlins 2

MIAMI — James Shields allowed one run in 6 1⁄3 innings to win for the first time in five starts and Tampa Bay capped a three-game sweep by beating Miami. The Rays outscored their intrastate rivals 22-7 and have won seven in a row against the Marlins. Miami fell to 0-6 on its homestand and has been outscored 43-10. Pirates 3, Royals 2

PITTSBURGH — Andrew McCutchen homered and drove in three runs, A.J. Burnett won his fifth consecutive start and Pittsburgh finished its first sweep of an AL team in more than a decade by beating Kansas City.

T H I S D A T E I N B A S E B A L L June 11 1904 — Bob Wicker of the Chicago Cubs pitched 9 1-3 hitless innings before Sam Mertes of the New York Giants singled. Wicker won a 1-0, 12-inning one-hitter. 1938 — Johnny Vander Meer hurled the first of two consecutive no-hitters as the Cincinnati Reds beat the Boston Braves 3-0. 1967 — The Chicago Cubs hit seven homers and the New York Mets four in the second game of a doubleheader, tying the major league record set by the New York Yankees (6) and Detroit Tigers (5) in 1950. Adolfo Phillips hit four home runs in the doubleheader for Chicago. 1981 — Following Seattle’s 8-2 win over Baltimore, major league players went on strike. 1985 — Von Hayes became the first player in major league history to hit two home runs in the first inning. Hayes connected twice in a nine-run first, powering the Philadelphia Phillies to a 26-7 victory over the New York Mets. 1990 — Nolan Ryan pitched the sixth no-hitter of his career, extending his major league record, as the Texas Rangers beat the Oakland Athletics 5-0. Ryan was the first to pitch no-hitters for three teams and, at 43, the oldest to throw one. 1995 — Mark McGwire hit three home runs in consecutive at-bats and tied the major league record of five homers in consecutive games, leading the Oakland Athletics over the Boston Red Sox 8-1. 1995 — Lee Smith set a major league record with a save in his 16th consecutive appearance, pitching a scoreless ninth inning to preserve the California Angels’ 5-4 victory over Baltimore. Smith broke the mark of 15 straight set by Doug Jones in 1988. 1997 — Roger Clemens lost for the first time after 11 straight wins to open the season as the Seattle Mariners topped the Toronto Blue Jays 5-1. 2002 — Jared Sandberg became the 16th AL player to homer twice in an inning, and the third this season, as Tampa Bay beat Los Angeles 11-2. 2003 — Houston’s Roy Oswalt, Pete Munro, Kirk Saarloos, Brad Lidge, Octavio Dotel and Billy Wagner combined for the first no-hitter against the New York Yankees in 45 years, winning 8-0. The sextet set a record for the highest number of pitchers to throw a no-hitter in major league history — four accomplished the feat twice.

We may start off this week with some rain, but it is looking very nice toward the end of the week with plenty of warm temperatures. We could see a few scattered showers today and a thunderstorm. On Tuesday, a cold front will push through pretty early in the day so we can expect to see some rain showers. Clouds will remain Wednesday morning, but then clear out and it will turn partly sunny. Thursday should be a pretty nice day with partly cloudy skies. It will be partly cloudy Friday with temperatures in the 70s. Saturday and Sunday look like they will both be partly cloudy with showers possible late. - Michelle Rotella

MONDAY, JUNE 11, 2012 PAGE 5C

Man who is reluctant to move continues to resist combining households Dear Abby: I’m a middle-aged, divorced man in a one-year relationship with a wonderful woman. “Alexis” is bright, pretty, fun, responsible, affectionate, and yes, I do love her. She wants us to start our life together under one roof — hers. I’m having a hard time with all of this — selling my home, selling most of my belongings, changing my workfrom-home routine and giving up the independence of living alone with my mutts. I don’t think the timing is right, and I have told her as much several times. But she’s soon back in “sell your house and move in” mode. Alex-

DEAR ABBY ADVICE is is beginning to think I will never make the move. I’ll probably lose her if I don’t give in. Any suggestions? — Staying Put in Oklahoma Dear Staying Put: Before selling your home and most of your possessions, consider putting the things you want to keep in storage and renting out your home for a year. If things don’t work with Alexis you won’t have given up everything. Another plus: By then your house may have risen in value and you’ll get a better price for it. But do nothing in haste or because you are being pressured.

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

Dear Abby: My husband and I recently moved to a new area and are becoming friendly with the people in the neighborhood. My husband works as an education director for the local synagogue and, because he is in this field, we have agreed to keep our new home a kosher home and follow the strict rules of kashrut. We will allow no food in the house that has not been prepared in a kosher kitchen. If people decide to stop to introduce themselves and bring something homemade as a welcoming gesture, how do I politely decline their gift if they do not keep a kosher kitchen? — New On the Block in Northern California Dear New On The Block: Smile at your food-bearing neighbor and say,

CRYPTOQUOTE

“Thank you. We keep a kosher home and want to know if you do, too.” If the answer is no, explain that while it looks delicious and you appreciate the gesture, you can’t accept the food because of your strict observance of your religion. Dear Abby: On Jan. 23 you printed a column “Recognizing the Signs of a Stroke Can Help Save a Life.” Well, in our family it sure did. After my husband and I read it, we had our three children also read it. Then we hung it on the wall in the kitchen. Our 16-year-old son, Charlie, was taking his 87-year-old grandfather out shopping not long afterward, and not a mile from the house our son noticed rapid changes in his grandfather. Grandpa said, “I’ll be fine, just take

me home.” Of course our son, for the first time, did not listen to him. He pulled the car over and proceeded to call 911. A couple of weeks of physical and occupational therapy, and they say Grandpa will be good to come home. Thank you so much for putting that in your column. — Catherine in Gardiner, N.Y. Dear Catherine: I’m pleased to know — as I’m sure the writer of the letter will be — that it turned out to be so helpful to you. Your son is a hero. To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Seize the moments of calm, as you need to relax and rejuvenate between challenges. Remember that every difficult environment is a place to grow creatively, spiritually and personally. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The day’s events give you an opportunity to uphold your standards of equality and fairness. It’s the meaning inside small choices that matters most to you. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You know the social secret that takes the pressure off any interaction: Other people are thinking primarily about themselves. All you have to do is show up with that charming smile and nod along. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Even if your only reason for saying no to someone is that you don’t feel right saying yes, it’s reason enough. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Sometimes you’re afraid that if you accept help you are automatically indebted to the other person. That’s not the case today, so go ahead and let others do some of the work when they offer. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Common sense is not always common knowledge. You’ll pick up valuable information that seems rather obvious. Applying it will bring a kind of magic solution for a bothersome problem. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Every traveler along life’s highway needs a rest stop every now and then. Your body may be telling you that you could use a bit more tenderness and care. It’s time to pull over and fuel up.

MINUTE MAZE JUMBLE BY MICHEAL ARGIRION & JEFF KNUREK

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

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Not liking the way things are, you’ll take an important step to change it. Your small move is enough to make a difference, but if you really want to see a different world, consistent steps over time will do the trick. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Even though you’re serious about doing your work well, you’ll likely choose companionship over business. The personal time you shared with another person will make a memory. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Sometimes you feel like an old soul, but today brings a crisp, naive silliness to your experience that suggests that this lifetime will bring many fresh surprises. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A relationship heats up, and you’ll go into hyper-observant mode. You’ll read the situation as if it were your favorite book, hanging on every word and thrilling to each page turn to find out what happens next. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You don’t have to do everything that is offered to you. Opportunities may arise that you simply can’t get excited about. Leave an offer on the table for someone else to take advantage of. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 11). Strong and ambitious, you’ll set out to make your mark on the world today. The next six weeks show you acquiring a skill you’ll use for years to come. September brings lifestyle improvements. Capricorn and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 20, 1, 22 and 49.
