KINGS WIN FIRST STANLEY CUP

The Los Angeles Kings’ 45-year Stanley Cup quest ended in a triumphant flourish of blood, sweat and power-play goals. After missing two chances to claim the title last week, the long-suffering Kings are NHL champions for the first time. Jeff Carter and Trevor Lewis scored two goals apiece, playoff MVP Jonathan Quick made 17 saves in his latest stellar performance, and the Kings beat the New Jersey Devils 6-1 Monday night in Game 6 of the finals, becoming the first eighth-seeded playoff team to win the league title.

Victim No. 4 said it began as ‘soap battles’ By MARK SCOLFORO and GENARO C. ARMAS Associated Press

BELLEFONTE — The first witness in Jerry Sandusky’s trial said the former Penn State assistant football coach sexually abused him as a young teenager on campus and in hotels and later sent him “creepy love letters.” The witness, dubbed Victim No. 4 by prosecutors, said what began as “soap battles” in the shower escalated into inappropriate touching and oral sex. He said under cross-examination that he feels responsible for what happened to other alleged victims because he didn’t come forward earlier.

The man, now 28, was the first of eight alleged victims expected to testify during the trial, which beSandusky gan Monday with opening statements. Sandusky faces 52 criminal counts that he sexually abused 10 boys over 15 years, allegations he has denied. His arrest and the fallout led to departures of longtime football coach Joe Paterno and the university president. The trial is expected to last several weeks. Lead prosecutor Joseph

McGettigan III opened Sandusky’s highly anticipated trial Monday by telling jurors that the 68-year-old retired coach was a pedophile who took advantage of fatherless children or those with unstable home lives, plied them with gifts and sexually abused them for years. Defense lawyer Joseph Amendola countered that some of the alleged victims had hired civil lawyers and had a financial interest in pursuing the criminal case. Sandusky sat still as the first witness explained that he began showering with the former assistant coach in 1997, when he would have been about 13 years

Report: PSU officials agreed not to alert authorities in ’01 The Associated Press

BELLEFONTE — Former Penn State President Graham Spanier and another top university official exchanged emails discussing an allegation that Jerry Sandusky molested a boy in a university shower in 2001 but ultimately decided against alerting child welfare authorities, NBC News reported Monday.

Spanier and former Vice President Gary Schultz, who headed the campus police department, agreed not to take the case to outside authorities out of concern for the retired assistant football coach, according to internal emails obtained by state law enforcement officials and given to NBC. The report aired on the “Today” show Monday.

Spanier, who was ousted in the wake of Sandusky’s November arrest, did not immediately respond to an email message from The Associated Press. The emails were discovered in the course of Louis Freeh’s internal probe of the Sandusky scandal and “immediately turned over to the state attorney general,” See CLAIM, Page 12A

Two election board members want language changed regarding board’s say in hiring

Administrative code change sought By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

Luzerne County election board members Thomas Baldino and John Newman requested a language change in the proposed administrative code to guarantee the board has a say in the hiring of the election bureau director. County Manager Robert Lawton’s wording said the manager will appoint the election director with input from the election board. Baldino and Newman suggested changing input to “meaningful participation” during Monday’s council work session. This participation also should extend to a director’s removal, Baldino

said. Assistant county Solicitor David Schwager said the proposed change “sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen” because the wording could have varied interpretations. Baldino said he envisions board representation on the election director search committee. Newman said the board should be “comfortable with the person who’s captaining the ship.” Lawton said the board will have some involvement in the review of candidates, but he doesn’t believe the code should be more specific. Board members may express their satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the

level of participation to county council, which hires the county manager, he said. Lawton said he added the board input clause because he has “no desire to shut the board out of the process.” Council members said they didn’t want to interfere with the manager’s power to select the director. Lawton and council agreed to Councilman Tim McGinley’s recommendation to change input to “consultation” with the board. Council did not extend the requirement to the removal of the election director. Council Chairman Jim Bobeck said he doesn’t want to add a hurdle if the man-

ager believes he must act quickly on a termination. The board is always free to point out concerns about an election director to the manager, Schwager said. The administrative code, tentatively slated for adoption June 19, will apply in the upcoming hiring of an election director. Lawton suspended and later terminated election bureau Director Leonard Piazza in April

without input from the board. Tom Pizano has been acting as interim director. The proposed code is posted on the county council section of the county’s website, www.luzernecounty.org. Council members encouraged citizens to provide input on the proposal through their email addresses on the site. Kingston Township resident Tom Dombroski praised council and citizens Monday for frequent discussions about compliance with the county’s new home rule charter, saying they have inspired residents in some municipalities to uncover violations of their local home rule charters.

BUTLER TWP. – A pilot escaped injury Monday afternoon when he crash-landed his singleengine plane in a cornfield off Sleepy Hollow Road. Officials identified Thomas J. Hall, of Eagle Rock Resort, a gated community in Hazle Township, as the owner of the plane, but they said at the scene that they didn’t know if he was piloting the plane when it crashed at about 5:30 p.m. Reached by phone Monday night, Hall confirmed that he was the pilot and that he was uninjured. He said he was feeling “fine.” Hall said he was returning from Vermont and heading to land at the Hazleton Municipal Airport when the engine stopped working. “I tried everything I could think of … but I couldn’t get the engine

Art finalists announced

The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission has announced finalists for the “Art of the State: Pennsylvania 2012,” an exhibition showcasing the talent, creativity and diversity of Pennsylvania’s established and emerging artists. It opens to the public on Sunday at The State Museum of Pennsylvania. Three artists from Luzerne County will participate in the event: Ed Jones; Brien Keller Keller and Stephen Ruch. The 45th annual exhibit runs through Sept. 9 and includes 129 works of art by 115 artists from 30 counties. This year’s exhibit received 1,836 entries from 680 artists. First-, second- and third-place honors are awarded in painting, photography, sculpture, craft and works on paper. Prizes will be awarded at a special Artists’ Reception to be held Saturday at The State Museum. The winners will be announced via Twitter @PHMC at 7 p.m., immediately following the awards ceremony. Museum hours are Wednesday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, noon to 5 p.m. Admission is $5 for adults, $4 for children and senior citizens.

“(Davis) will likely spend the rest of his life in jail,” said Assistant District Attorney Jarrett Ferentino, who is prosecuting the case with ADA Tom Hogans. Ferentino said the plea agreement was appropriate because it spared Springer-Howard’s three children from testifying. All of them were in the house the night of the shooting. “This is justice for Carlotta,” Ferentino said, noting that Springer-Howard’s family was in agreement with the plea. Davis’ attorney, William Ruzzo, said his client appreciated the lack of vengefulness showed by Springer-Howard’s family, and their willingness to

WILKES-BARRE – By pleading guilty Monday morning to third-degree murder in the shooting death of his girlfriend, a city man avoided the risk of conviction on a more serious charge. He also spared the woman’s children from having to testify in a jury trial that was scheduled to begin the same day. Stanley Davis Jr., 46, entered the plea before Luzerne County Judge Fred Pierantoni before he was to face a jury on an open count of homicide in the Dec.16 death of 37-year-old Carlotta Springer-Howard. Pierantoni said Davis faces 20 to 40 years in prison on the murder charge when he is sentenced on Aug. 15. See DAVIS, Page 12A

Former Luzerne County Commissioner Greg Skrepenak is scheduled to be released from prison today. He has been serving the end of his sentence in a halfway house in Scranton. Skrepenak also will serve three years of probation. Skrepenak, formerly of Jenkins Township, was given a two-year sentence for his guilty plea to accepting a $5,000 kickback as a reward for supporting a real estate developer’s entry into a program to delay payment of Skrepenak taxes on the project. He was sentenced on Aug. 11, 2010 and reported to prison on Sept. 16, 2010. Skrepenak’s sentence was reduced by 94 days for “good conduct” credits. He was among more than 30 people nabbed in the Luzerne County federal corruption probe.

DALLAS – A new safety alert system installed at Misericordia University will instantly send an emergency message to the school’s cable television network in addition to other communication devices, increasing the speed and accuracy of information, university officials said Monday. Campus Televideo chose the university as its test site for the new system, which it says is the first in the nation to integrate cable television networks with existing emergency alert system platforms, such as cell phones and email. “With campus safety a top priority for schools today, this new, first-of-its-kind tool will allow administrators to quickly and easily deliver a consistent message across multiple device types,” said Jon Stewart, senior director of business operations for Campus Televideo. The system allows Reboli colleges and universities to enter a single message that is sent simultaneously to cell phones, email and now the school’s cable network. Previously, administrators had to log into the existing alert system operated by e2Campus, which sent alerts to cell phones and email, and to a separate alert system that runs through the cable television system. “Now they do it once. It’s easier and it delivers the message faster and makes sure the message is consistent,” said Rick Nixon, an official with Campus Televideo. See MU, Page 12A

Upfront fee for parking deal too much, respondent says Representative of company that responded to Request for Qualifications says $10 million or less would be reasonable to lease W-B facilities.

By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A representative of one of the five companies that responded to the Request for Qualifications to lease the city’s parking assets says $20 million up front “is not gonna happen.” “We have to find a financial partner,” said the representative, who requested anonymity. “But it’s been very difficult to find anyone interested in this deal.” He suggested a more reasonable initial payment would be $10 million or less.

Attorney Haggerty has questioned if racial bias by police led to filing of charge against his client

Aggravated assault charge forwarded By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

PITTSTON – Despite being slashed multiple times on the arms and back, Jason Kuna said he kept going after his attacker, Daniel Dade, to defend himself. During a hearing Monday before District Judge Andrew Barilla, Dade’s attorney, James Haggerty, said it was his client who defended himself from the much bigger and “drunk, racist motorcyclist.” Haggerty has questioned if racial bias by Duryea police was behind the filing of a felony aggravated assault charge against

Dade, a black man accused of slashing Kuna during a dispute about a blocked driveway. Haggerty Kuna, 30, said he arrived home driving a new $16,000 motorcycle and encountered Dade, 30, of Scranton, blocking his private driveway. Kuna said he told Dade to move the vehicle. Kuna said he was walking back to his house when Dade approached him and made a downward motion with his hand.

“The next thing I know I was slashed,” Kuna testified at Dade’s preliminary hearing on Monday. Haggerty said it was Kuna who first attacked Dade by yelling racial slurs and punching Dade in the head. Barilla determined Assistant District Attorney Albert Yacoub established a case against Dade, sending charges of aggravated assault, simple assault, disorderly conduct and harassment to Luzerne County Court. Dade’s girlfriend, Belinda Glover, 37, is facing charges of simple assault and disorderly conduct after she allegedly struck Kuna with a fishing pole.

Kuna, who frequently quarreled with Haggerty while testifying, said he kept going after Dade because he was slashed. Kuna said he suffered five slash wounds that required 80 staples to heal. Pictures of his injuries were not presented during the hearing. Haggerty asked Kuna if he threatened Dade and yelled racial slurs. “It’s possible, I was stabbed,” Kuna said. Duryea Police Chief Nicholas Lohman testified Kuna did indeed yell racial slurs at Dade while police were figuring out what happened. “It was chaotic when we got

there,” Lohman testified. “He did use the ‘N’ word several different times and threatened to kill him.” Lohman said his primary responsibility was to get Kuna treated by paramedics and taken to a hospital because of the severe slash wounds. Police charged Kuna and Dade with simple assault. Kuna pleaded guilty to the charge and was fined $200. Lohman said Dade was later charged with aggravated assault after a box cutter with blood spatCLARK VAN ORDEN/THE TIMES LEADER ter was found across from Kuna’s house on March 19.

Councilman summit with tower delayed By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – City tower Leo Glodzik was supposed to meet with city Councilman Tony George on Monday to review his billing practices, but the meeting was postponed until next week. George, who lashed out at Glodzik and his LAG Towing Co. at last Thursday’s council meeting, said city attorney Tim Henry was unavailable to meet, forcing the postponement. George is upset because he has not been able to review Glodzik’s bills. Several city residents have complained about overcharging by the city’s towing contractor, prompting George to demand the bills. Glodzik said he did drop off copies of bills to City Hall, but he had to take them back for redacting – blacking out names and credit card numbers on the bills. Glodzik said there have been right-to-know requests to see his bills, and on the advice of his attorney, he was told to black out the names and credit information before releasing them to the public. George said it shouldn’t take so long – nearly a month – to comply with his request. George asked council to consider asking Mayor Tom Leighton to begin the process of terminating Glodzik’s contract. LAG has been the city’s towing contractor for seven years and pays the city some $50,000 per year for the contract. “I want to review his bills and match them against the records in the police department,” George said. “It’s going to take some time. Mr. Glodzik could be correct – he may not be overcharging – but I want to find out for myself.” Glodzik said he wants to meet with George to “clear the air.” “I’ve been towing for the city for more than seven years,” Glodzik said. “Where are all these complaints? I haven’t heard them. If someone questions a bill, we review them and explain all the charges.” Glodzik and George are expected to meet sometime next week, George said.

Secretary Bryson’s illnesses led to wrecks, department says

Commerce Dept.: Boss had seizure The Associated Press

SAN GABRIEL, Calif. — U.S. Commerce Secretary John Bryson suffered a seizure in connection with two Los Angeles-area traffic crashes that led to a felony hit-and-run citation over the weekend, officials said Monday. Bryson, 68, was treated at a hospital following the crashes around 5 p.m. PDT Saturday, authorities said. The Commerce Department said Bryson was on personal time and did not have any security detail at the time of the accidents. He was driving his own vehicle and was given medication to treat the seizure.

Bryson

The secretary was driving alone in a Lexus on a major street in San Gabriel when he struck the rear end of a vehicle that had been stopped for a passing train, authorities

said. Bryson spoke briefly with the occupants and then hit their car again as he departed, the officials said. The three occupants followed Bryson while calling police. Bryson was cited for the hit-and-run,

although he has not been formally charged. Bryson then caused another collision minutes later in the nearby city of Rosemead, striking a car occupied by a man and a woman, authorities said. Bryson was found alone and unconscious in his car. He was treated at the scene before being taken to a hospital. Bryson voluntarily took a Breathalyzer test after the crashes, and it didn’t detect any alcohol, said Los Angeles County sheriff’s Capt. Mike Parker. A blood test also was administered to Bryson and investigators are await-

ing the results. Authorities don’t know whether Bryson had a prior medical condition. Bryson, who was released from the hospital, returned to Washington, Commerce Department spokeswoman Jennifer Friedman said. White House chief of staff Jack Lew spoke to Bryson on Monday, press secretary Jay Carney said. Carney said the administration was still in the process of gathering information. “We’re obviously concerned about the incident, about the health-related issues that played a role in this incident,” Carney said.

Supreme Court on Monday T hedeclined to take a new look at the

rights of foreign prisoners held for the past decade at the Guantanamo Bay naval base in Cuba. Four years after pronouncing that detainees who face no charges have a right to challenge their ongoing confinement, the justices rejected appeals arguing that the federal appeals court in Washington has largely ignored the high court’s command. The appeals court has not ordered the release of any detainee and has reversed several lower court release orders. In addition, some appellate judges have been unusually critical of the Supreme Court’s 2008 decision in Boumediene v. Bush. There are 169 foreigners remaining at Guantanamo, including the five men who are facing military trials for their roles in the Sept. 11 attacks. The justices offered no comment on their orders Monday in appeals from seven detainees.

LONDON

God save the PM’s child Prime Minister David Cameron and his wife got home from lunch with friends at a pub in the English countryside to discover they forgot something: 8-year-old daughter Nancy. Nancy was fine — she was quickly reunited with her parents after they realized she was missing. But Cameron’s parenting skills took a drubbing Monday, just weeks after the government set up a program to give parents of young children classes on how to raise them. Downing Street said the incident happened “a couple of months ago” as the family was leaving a pub near Chequers, the official country house prime ministers use when they want to escape London. The Camerons, some friends and their children had gone for Sunday lunch to the Plough, an establishment in the village of Cadsden dating back to the 16th century. As the lunch neared its conclusion, Nancy went off to use the bathroom. Minutes later, the families piled into two cars to drive back to Chequers. BEIRUT

‘Horrific tactics’ alleged The United States accused the Syrian government of “new horrific tactics” Monday, as U.N. observers reported Syrian helicopters firing on rebel areas and concerns rose that civilians were trapped in besieged cities. Violence in Syria has spiked in recent weeks, as both sides ignore an internationally brokered cease-fire. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland expressed concern about reports the regime “may be organizing another massacre” in Latakia province, where U.N. monitors have been impeded. Activists reported more than 50 people killed across Syria on Monday, with clashes between military forces and rebel fighters in Homs, Idlib and Latakia provinces. BELMONT, MASS.

Autism samples damaged Scientists say a freezer malfunction at a Boston-area hospital has damaged one-third of the world’s largest collection of autism brain samples. The Boston Globe reports that an official at Harvard-affiliated McLean Hospital in Belmont discovered the freezer had failed in late May without triggering alarms. Inside, 150 thawed brains had turned dark from decay. About a third were part of a collection of autism brains. Dr. Francine Benes, director of the Harvard Brain Tissue Resource Center, says it was “a priceless collection.”

Noisy hospitals seeking quiet for patients’ rest

By LAURAN NEERGAARD AP Medical Writer

WASHINGTON — Hospital patients need sleep, and new research suggests it may not be easy to to provide quiet. In fact, the wards with the sickest patients, the intensive care units, can be the loudest. Little is known about exactly how that affects patients’ bodies — and which types of noises are the most disruptive. So researchers recorded different hubbub in a hospital in Boston’s suburbs. Twelve healthy volunteers spent three nights in Mass General’s sleep lab, slumber-

ing as recorded hospital sounds blared from speakers at increasing volumes. Electronic sounds were the most likely to arouse people from sleep — even at decibel levels not much above a whisper, the researchers reported Monday in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine. Particularly troublesome was the beep-beep-beep from IV machines that signals someone needs more fluid or medicine, one of the most common machines in a hospital. They’re just one of a variety of alarms meant to alert hospital workers.

BILLINGS, Mont. — A West Virginia man who told authorities he was hitchhiking across the country and writing a memoir about kindness was injured in a seemingly random drive-by shooting near Montana’s booming Bakken oil patch. Ray Dolin, 39, was shot in the arm as he approached a pickup Saturday evening thinking the driver was offering him a ride, said Valley County Sheriff Glen Meier. The shooting took place about three miles west of the town of Glasgow, along rural U.S. Highway 2, a major route into and out of the oil patch. A 52-year-old “He Washington man, Lloyd thought he Christopher was going Danielson III, was arrested to give him about four a ride and hours later near as he apCulbertson.

Danielson was apparently headed to Williston, N.D., for work tied to the oil boom, although Meier said he offered few details. In another random attack earlier this year, a popular teacher from the oil patch town of Sidney, Mont., was allegedly kidnapped and killed by two Colorado men on their way to the Bakken. As the men await trial in that case for the alleged killing of teacher Sherry Arnold, the case has stoked worries that a oncequiet corner of Montana has been altered by the oil boom. Crime rates across western North Dakota and eastern Montana have spiked as thousands of workers flock to a region that has become one of the top-oil producing areas of the country.

Sewer system bids given to Quad 3 for review By TOM HUNTINGTON Times Leader Correspondent

NUANGOLA – Pending a review by Quad 3 Engineers of Wilkes-Barre, a New York state firm appears to have been the low bidder on a proposed procurement contract for grinder pumps for a sewer system that has been proposed for the borough. Site Specifics Design of Niskayuna, N.Y., submitted a bid of $961,592, which was the lowest of two opened Monday night by the sewer authority. The other, $1,000,122 was submitted by Barnes/Crane Pumps of Sinking Springs, Pa. The authority, however, didn’t take official action. Instead, David Pekar, chairman, said the bids will be referred to Quad 3 for review. An awarding could occur at a June 25 meeting, when the authority is tentatively scheduled to also announce construction contracts. The authority delayed payment, pending the availability of funds, of a $59,542 invoice submitted by Quad 3 for what was described as design work and as-

sociated support services. When a question arose about the total amount owed to Quad 3, Ted Vancosky, board member and treasurer, said a cumulative estimated amount is in excess of $250,000. This latest invoice is just one of several submitted by Quad 3 to the sewer panel over the past three years. In another money matter, Sally DiRico, board member and its secretary, noted that an audit report submitted by Lawrence Cable Co. of Wilkes-Barre, states that the authority also owes the borough $56,000. DiRico comments came during discussion which led to an acceptance of Cable’s audit, after it was presented at Monday’s meeting. Attorney Robert Gonos said a lease agreement between borough council and the authority has been resolved. The lease provides for space in the basement of the municipal building for authority administrative affairs at a total fee of $1. Gonos said that while the lease, “after a year-anda-half,” has finally been approved, there may be issues with the state Department of Labor and Industry to be considered. It was also announced by Vancosky that the borough’s Storm Water Review has been completed by Quad 3 at no cost. The review was controversial because

previously, the borough’s former engineer, Alfred Benesch Associates of Pottsville, wanted to charge $1,400 to execute the work. At the May 29 meeting, council voted to disassociate with Benesch and, following a motion by Vancosky, Quad3 was named as both borough and authority engineer. In discussion, Pekas announced that representatives of the authority are scheduled to meet Wednesday morningwith Luzerne County over a highway occupancy permit which Nuangola needs to initiate the sewer project. A meeting is also scheduled on Thursdaywith Crestwood School District personnel over a pumping station which is planned at the Rice Township school site.

Residents complain about sewers

W H AT ’ S N E X T Warrior Run woman has problems with Witinski’s Villa The commissioners’ next meeting and Truesdale Terrace project. is scheduled for July 9 at 7 p.m. By SCOTT L. GOMB Times Leader Correspondent

HANOVER TWP. – Questions about the Witinski’s Villa and Truesdale Terrace sewer project plagued commissioners at Monday night’s meeting. Debra Scott of Warrior Run said that raw sewage has flowed down from the developments

and pooled behind her home for years. She said the sewage flows down via stream and that a pumping station located there can’t remove it. She wants to know if the township plans to install a new pump and also what happened to the money that the state set aside for installing the sewers in the 1970’s. Commissioner Chairman Al-

bert Bagusky said that past administrations did nothing about the sewers and now the state mandated they be installed and the township must pay. If the project was done in the 1970s when originally proposed, it would have cost in the neighborhood of $250,000. Now it is costing the township $2.5 million, he said. Bagusky said he did not know if a new pumping station was included in the project. In other business, the commissioners:

• Voted to pay off the $907,000 2012 tax anticipation loan six months early. The move will save the township $9,863. • Directed the solicitor to amend an ordnance to regulate dogs in the township and prohibit them from running at large, disturbing the peace, creating a nuisance and limiting the number residents can own. • Approved a request from the Breslau Hose Company No. 5 to use the refuse packer for their bazaar from July 5-7.

WRIGHT TWP. – Capping a career in excess of 38 years, Police Chief Joseph Jacob bid farewell to Wright Township Supervisors and a full house of wellwishers at Monday night’s supervisors’ meeting. The veteran chief has opted

for a buyout and retirement. Chairman Daniel Frascella presented Jacob with a plaque commemorating his service. "Thank you for a job welldone." For Jacob’s service, Leigh Bonczewski, state Rep.

you." He said the department exhibits exemplary dedication and outstanding professionalism. "And that’s all thanks to you," he said. The board also witnessed Sgt. Royce Engler’s swearing in as the township’s new police chief. Luzerne County Judge Richard Hughes was present to

swear in Engler. Engler began his law-enforcement career as a part-time Nuangola Borough patrolman in 1977. He moved to Wright Township, where he later earned his promotion to sergeant. The supervisors and Engler have not yet reached an agreement as to what his salary will be. The police department is looking to hire a new, part-time officer. Applications are available at the township office.

No injuries reported in Navy drone aircraft crash in Maryland The Associated Press

NANTICOKE, Md. — A Naval drone aircraft crashed on Maryland’s Eastern Shore on Monday without injuries or property damage on the ground, officials said. The 44-foot plane on a routine training flight crashed around noon near Bloodsworth Island, across the Chesapeake Bay from the Patuxent River Naval Air Station, according to Jaime Cosgrove, a spokeswoman for the Unmanned Aviation and Strike Weapons program.

Aerial video from WBOC-TV showed a plane-shaped indentation surrounded by burning debris at the swampy crash site. The cause is being investigated and the U.S. Coast Guard has set up a safety zone around the crash site, officials said. The Northrop Grumman RQ-4A BAMS-D drones with a range of 10,500 nautical miles can reach 11 miles above the ground, which is above most weather, and stay in the air for more than 30 hours with speeds up to 391 mph, according to the Navy.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Authorities searching for a man charged with fatally shooting three people near Auburn University swarmed a neighborhood Monday and fired tear gas into a house where they believed he may be hiding. Police hoped to flush out a person believed to be hiding in the attic, but were still in a “waiting game” after about three hours on the scene, Montgomery Mayor Todd Strange said. “Whoever is in there doesn’t want to come out,” he said. Dozens of police cruisers, trucks, fire vehicles and vans surrounded the house, located in a middle-class area a few miles from Alabama’s Capitol. Authorities received two 911 calls that someone who looked like suspect Desmonte Leonard was in or near the house, Strange told reporters. One of the calls came from the owner of the home. Officers detected someone moving around inside, but they did not make contact. “It is a waiting game,” Strange said. Officers said they assumed

Saturday night during a pool party at University Heights apartments. He’s also accused of wounding three others. The dead included two former Auburn football players. Earlier in the day police said they had arrested two men accused of hindering the search. Auburn police said Jeremy S. Thomas, 18, of Montgomery was charged with hindering prosecution after he fled the scene of the shooting with Leonard. Records show Thomas was free on bond at the time of the Auburn shootings while awaiting a manslaughter trial set to begin June 18 in last year’s shooting death of a teenager. Montgomery police said Gabriel Thomas, 41, was also charged with hindering prosecution after having contact with Leonard after the shooting and providing false information to officers.

No bids received in auction for area man’s properties No bids were received Monday in a special Luzerne County back-tax auction solely for commercial and business properties owned by Hazleton-area resident Jim Lagana and his companies, officials said. Bids weren’t expected at this first-level upset sale because buyers must accept responsibility for all liens, taxes and other debts tied to the properties, said John Rodgers, president of Northeast Revenue Service LLC, the county’s tax claim operator. Lagana and his companies owe more than $289,200 in property taxes for 2009 through 2011, county tax records show. Northeast Revenue will attempt to meet notification and advertising deadlines to place the properties in the free-and-

clear auction in August, when liens and taxes will be forgiven, Rodgers said. The following Lagana properties, all in Hazle Township, were up for auction: the Holly Lynn Mobile Home Park, two corporate center buildings and three commercial office and retail buildings on the Airport Beltway -- the Laurel Professional Center, the Beltway Commons and the Franklin Corporate Center. Lagana had obtained several court orders removing the properties from prior auctions and recently said he was confident the special sale would not be held because he was finalizing a refinancing plan to come up with money to pay the taxes. Northeast Revenue proceeded with the sale because it received no court orders to hold off,

Rodgers said. The properties also are tied up in a mortgage foreclosure action, court records show. The court appointed Edgewater Advisors, LLC, as a receiver, or overseer, of the properties in March as part of a foreclosure filed by Community Bank N.A., records show. Community Bank filed action earlier this month asking the court to order Lagana to comply with the receivership, indicating he was not cooperating. The court issued an order Friday instructing Lagana to provide Edgewater with all information it needs to analyze and understand Lagana’s business by June 11. The receiver will have complete control of Lagana’s operations and businesses on July 9, the order says.

Lehman Twp. woman claims firing due to age, gender

Ex-aging bureau director files suit Times Leader Staff

SCRANTON – The former director of the Luzerne/ Wyoming Counties Bureau of Aging has filed a federal lawsuit against Luzerne County, alleging she was fired because of her age and gender. Mary Beth Farrell, 65, of Mountainview Drive, Lehman Township, claims she was fired in November 2010 without just cause. The county then hired a younger woman to replace her. Luzerne County commissioners, who headed county

government at the time, publicly announced in December 2010 that Farrell had resigned. The lawsuit, filed by attorney Kim Borland of Wilkes-Barre, says that information was false and that Farrell was actually terminated from the position. In a previous interview, Borland said Farrell was told by then-commissioner Chairwoman Maryanne Petrilla and other county officials that she would be fired if she did not resign. Borland said Farrell contacted her and, on his advice,

she did not submit a resignation. The lawsuit, filed Thursday in federal court, says Farrell was never notified of any alleged deficiencies in her performance or given any written or verbal counseling. It alleges she was fired solely because of her age and gender. It seeks unspecified compensatory damages. Assistant County Solicitor Vito DeLuca declined to comment on the suit, citing the county’s policy not to comment on pending litigation.

OTHER OPINION: INFRASTRUCTURE

Road bill headed for a dead end

F YOU THINK our roads and bridges are in terrible shape, along with mass transit, you’re right. And it’s altogether possible you ain’t seen nuthin’ yet. A critical renewal of federal support for transportation is going nowhere fast, with the clock ticking down toward a June 30 expiration date while House and Senate leaders fight over who’s to blame for the partisan gridlock. For decades, federal legislation has supported the nation’s transportation infrastructure, although at a level that increasingly falls short of the need. The organization representing the nation’s civil engineers says the U.S. road system rates a D-minus as conditions deteriorate “to the point at which Americans spend 4.2 billion hours a year stuck in traffic at a cost of $78.2 billion a EDITORIAL BOARD

year in wasted time and fuel costs – $710 per motorist.” In the past, Congress dealt with the issue by approving transportation bills covering five or six years, which allowed for orderly planning. Since 2009, when the last multi-year extension expired, it’s limped along on at least nine short-term fixes, making the dispute over transportation funding a case study in congressional dysfunction. Instead of using the current transportation bill as a vehicle for ideological issues, House GOP members should line up with their Senate colleagues. The bill would provide hundreds of thousands of jobs. A funding cutoff at this time would be a new low in congressional irresponsibility. The Miami Herald

LETTERS FROM READERS

Protesters should make better use of their time

ecently the Occupy Wall Street protesters were back in the news. They made their appearance in Chicago and New York City. In past protests, they pitched tents and stayed for days, causing trouble and leaving a mess when they finally left (or were kicked out). Generally they are protesting the wealthy “1 percent” such as Wall Street bankers, big corporations, etc. We can assume most of the protesters had with them their iPhones, iPods, iPads, etc., which I would think they would have gotten from a big corporation (Apple) against which they are protesting. The electronics they use are run by cellphone or Internet companies, big corporations against which they are protesting. When they run out of cash, I would assume they would go to an ATM and get some cash from a bank, against which they are protesting. When they get hungry, they possibly would go to a fast-food restaurant for a bite (more big corporations). Seems a bit hypocritical. This is America and they have every right to protest. They can march around with a sign and complain. Or they can do something to assist the 99 percent of the population they are supposedly “for.” They can help the least of the 99 percent by “occupying” a soup kitchen, a food bank, a homeless shelter, Habitat for Humanity, American Red Cross, etc. If they have free time and don’t have jobs, doesn’t this seem like a good idea? At least it would be constructive instead of destructive. D. Pino Dallas

Reader questions bishop on same-sex marriage

s a former resident of Wilkes-Barre, I found Bishop Joseph Bambera’s comment in the article titled “Marriage battle heads to top court” (June 1) rather disconcerting. His reaction to a very complex issue was, at the same time, simplistic and dogmatic. To reiterate the Catholic Church’s teaching on marriage is safe: “As Catholics, we believe that the sacrament of marriage is a faithful, exclusive, lifelong, loving union of a man and a woman.” What he seemingly failed to address are the difficult pastoral responses surrounding marriage in general. For example, the marriage between two Catholics celebrated according to norms of law before a minister of a different faith is non-sacramental. The marriage between a Catholic and divorced person celebrated before a justice of the peace or a minister is nonsacramental. The marriage between a man and a woman in the Jewish faith – nonsacramental. What then, bishop, can be said of these non-sacramental marriages? Are they somehow “less” because they do not fit the definition proposed by the Catholic Church? If, as a reader, you are saying to yourself, “Well, of course these are marriages,” then what do we call the marriages between two Christian women or men, celebrated according the norms of law, before a minister of God? In New York, New Hampshire, Vermont and other states that have legalized same-sex marriages, these are valid marriages in the eyes of the state. Vice President Joseph Biden, a Catholic, has publicly announced his support for gay marriage. President Barack Obama, former Secretary of State Colin Powell, current Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and countless numbers of enlightened Catholic and non-Catholic politicians and celebrities all have thrown their hats in the ring in support of same-sex marriage. The Catholic Church prides itself on its unwavering position regarding marriage, seemingly born in the Dark Ages and firmly rooted in ignorance, bigotry and homophobia. Perhaps this is one reason why our young people are leaving the church. Bishop Bambera, I’d like to hear your personal position regarding the marriage between two Catholics of the same sex. They, too, have entered “a faithful, exclu-

DOONESBURY

sive, lifelong, loving union.” Please don’t quote canon law. Where do you stand on these non-sacramental marriages? Jack Anderson North Wales, Pa.

Obama’s track record doesn’t match rhetoric

s America stronger, more prosperous and better? It’s a straightforward yet crucial question that probably will enter every voter’s mind on Election Day. After all, this November will mark the second time Barack Obama’s name will appear on a presidential ballot. However, it will be the first time voters have a record by which to judge him. In 2009, when President Obama was discussing fixing the economy, he said, “If I don’t have this done in three years, then there’s going to be a one-term proposition.” I couldn’t agree more! This time around, the American people will hold President Obama accountable, not only for his words, but his deeds. When you compare the two, it becomes clear that a vast discrepancy exists between President Obama’s bombastic rhetoric and rather weak record. In June 2010, the Obama administration established it to be “recovery summer.” A selling point for President Obama’s $787 billion stimulus package was that it would keep unemployment below 8 percent shortly after its implementation. Unsurprisingly, the talking points are a far cry from reality. The most recent report by the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that the unemployment rate rose to 8.2 percent. When discouraged workers (those who have given up looking for jobs) are factored in, the unemployment rate almost doubles to 14.5 percent. In addition, the growth in our gross domestic product (the value of goods and services produced in the nation) was revised by the Commerce Department down to 1.9 percent. Sadly, the economy has not improved under President Obama’s leadership. When the sluggish economy was discussed at a jobs council last year, President Obama chuckled, “Shovel-ready was not as shovel-ready as we expected.” More recently, while campaigning after the abysmal jobs report, President Obama insisted the economy would improve if people would simply buy more. “Maybe some of you will be replacing some thingamajig for the furnace,” President Obama joked to the audience. (Heads up, Mr. President: It’s June!) As an 18-year-old voter, my future is worth protecting and standing up for, and that’s why I look forward to casting my first ballot for Gov. Mitt Romney. I ask you to please join me, so that we might limit these past four years to a detour, not a destiny. James Hutchison Honesdale

SANDUSKY

Former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky leaves the Centre County Courthouse after the first day of his trial in Bellefonte, Monday. He is accused of 52 counts of child sexual abuse involving 10 boys over a period of 15 years.

McGettigan. Wearing a white shirt, dark tie and dark pants, he looked straight ahead at McGettigan during questioning. He gestured at times when asked to describe interactions with Sandusky. “He would put his hand on my leg, basically like I was his girlfriend ... it freaked me out extremely bad,” the man said, extending his right arm out and pushing it back and forth. “I pushed it away ... after a little while, it would come right back. That drove me nuts,” he said. Instances in the shower, the man testified, escalated to the point where either Sandusky maneuvered himself so his head would be near the boy’s genitals, or vice versa. The man testified that there were “a few occasions” where Sandusky ejaculated in the Penn State locker room showers. Pictures of Sandusky and the then-boy were shown at times on a video screen. The man was asked to identify photos handed to him by McGettigan, including those with Penn State football players, but rarely looked over when the pictures were displayed on a screen large enough for jurors to see. The man said he stayed either at his mother’s or grandmother’s home at times. He never told his grandmother. “No, no way. I was too scared to ... The other things were nice. I didn’t want to lose that,” he testified. A self-described college football fan, the man said he enjoyed the access to Penn State football games and facilities. At one point, the man said, Sandusky let him wear the No. 11 uniform of LaVar Arrington. Prosecutors also showed a picture of the man, as a boy, with Arrington. The man testified that Sandusky also took him to bowl trips including the Outback and Ala-

to investigate the fire, which was discovered around 6:45 a.m. Saturday. The blaze caused extensive damage to the two-story structure. Officials are now inspecting the building to determine if it can be repaired or if it will have to be torn down, said Don Fox, a member of the league’s board of directors. Fox said $50 in cash, a deep fryer, sound equipment, including microphones and a public address system and the controller for the field’s scoreboard were among the items stolen. The league was also forced to discard all the candy, frozen goods and beverages, which had just been restocked the day before, due to damage. Gulitus said the building was

insured, but officials don’t believe the coverage will come close to paying for all the repairs and replacement of equipment. She said she was disgusted by the actions of the thief or thieves. “I don’t understand why they had to set fire to it. To come in and steal from a nonprofit organization for children is horrible, but then to set a fire, I don’t even know what to say,” Gulitus said. Fox said he also was mystified as to why anyone would want the scoreboard controller, which was made primarily of plastic. “What are you going to do with a scoreboard controller, unless you have a scoreboard?” he said. “They even stole garbage cans to take the stuff out. Talk about adding insult to injury.” The league was forced to play Saturday’s games at neighboring fields, but returned to their home field on Sunday.

meeting that lasted from 2 p.m. to about 4:30. None of the attendees would respond when asked who was paying for Wohlstetter and Murphy to be at the meeting. Wohlstetter is paid $400 per hour by the parking authority and Murphy’s rate is $300 per hour. Both have said in the past that these are lower rates than normally charged. McLaughlin said the city will not pursue a lease agreement “at any price.” “The mayor will execute a lease agree-

ment if and only if a deal will improve the operation of parking assets in the city and benefit Wilkes-Barre taxpayers,” he said. “The parking lease is not essential to meeting our debt obligations on the garages. The city and authority would be able to retire debt through a lease transaction; however, current end-of-year debt payments can and will be made by sufficient parking revenues through the operation of the facilities.” Mayor Tom Leighton approved the RFQ to include a minimum upfront pay-

Amendola said the young men who would take the stand were accusers, not victims. He said jurors may find it odd that Sandusky showered with children, but that it was innocuous, and part of Sandusky’s upbringing. “In Jerry’s culture, growing up in his generation, where he grew up, he’s going to tell you it was routine for individuals to get showers together,” Amendola said. “I suspect for those of you who might have been in athletics, it’s routine.” Amendola said the defense will argue that Mike McQueary, the football team assistant who reported seeing Sandusky naked in a shower in 2001, was mistaken about what he saw.

ment of $20 million to bid on leasing the parking assets for 30 years or 50 years. Jerry Salzman, of Desman Associates, a Chicago-based parking consulting firm retained by the parking authority, did not disclose what figure he recommended, but said the firm did not endorse the city’s $20 million figure. In a letter to The Times Leader, Salzman said Desman did not “in any way” validate the $20 million figure, noting, “… it is important to clarify that Desman has not concurred with the value.” Salzman

CLAIM Continued from Page 1A

Penn State spokesman David La Torre told AP. Freeh, a former FBI director, was hired by the Penn State Board of Trustees to investigate, among other things, what school officials knew about Sandusky’s conduct and what they did with the information. La Torre declined to comment on the contents of the emails, but said “we will continue to cooperate fully with all legal processes to determine what happened and ensure personal accountability.” Sandusky’s child sex-abuse trial began Monday with opening statements. He has denied the allegations that he abused 10 boys over 15 years. Schultz, who is retired, told a grand jury that head coach Joe Paterno and assistant Mike McQueary reported the 2001 shower encounter “in a very general way” but did not provide details. He and Athletic Director Tim Curley, who is on leave, are charged with lying to the grand jury, and with failure to properly report suspected child abuse. Both deny the allegations and are seeking to have the charges dismissed. Lawyers for Curley and Schultz said in a statement that the NBC report “confirms that, as they testified at the grand jury, Tim Curley and Gary Schultz conscientiously considered Mike McQueary’s reports of observing inappropriate conduct, reported it to the University President Graham Spanier, and deliberated about how to responsibly deal with the conduct and handle the situation properly.” But the attorney general’s office, in a court filing in Schultz’s perjury case Monday, said that it recently came into possession of emails between Schultz, Curley and others “that contradict their testimony before the grand jury

WVC coaches excited for Curry’s return By DEREK LEVARSE dlevarse@timesleader.com

INSIDE: Campbell excited to go home 3B

The weekend came and the rumor mill was churning throughout the Wyoming Valley Conference coaching community. George Curry? Back at Berwick? “Wow,” Wyoming Valley West coach Pat Keating said upon hearing the move was official on Monday night. “That’s unbelievable.” Better believe it. Curry is back.

Pennsylvania’s all-time winningest high school football coach will be leading the Dawgs on an interim basis for the 2012 season, and his peers in the WVC are excited to have him around once again. “I thought it was a couple years too late,” Coughlin coach Ciro Cinti joked. “I thought he’d get back into it, knowing

the guy for that long. He lived, ate, drank and slept football. “He’s done a fantastic job in promoting the sport, promoting the conference. He gave the Valley, state-wide, that kind of recognition. … He brings instant credibility throughout the state, and to have someone of his caliber to coach against is great.” By and large, coaches were surprised at the abrupt events that led to Curry’s

return. Gary Campbell, who took over for Curry at Berwick in 2006, will be headed back to his former school in Massachusetts. The board then appointed Curry, 68, as an interim coach by an 8-1 vote. “Shocked,” Hazleton Area coach Jim Drumheller said. “I know he’d been out of it for a few years, but he’s always See CURRY, Page 4B

Kings rout Devils for 1st Cup The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — The New Jersey Devils’ dreams of a historical comeback were all but dashed less than 11 minutes into Game 6 of the Stanley Cup finals. Just 10:10 in, Steve Bernier drilled Los Angeles defenseman Rob Scuderi from behind into the end boards and essentially took his club out of the game. Bernier was given a major penalty and was ejected from the game. The Kings took full advantage of the 5-minute power play and scored three times in a span of 3:58 en route to a 6-1 victory that clinched Los Angeles’ first Stanley Cup championship in the franchise’s 45-year history.

Nadal earns seventh title The clay-court master upends Djokovic during the restarted final to win a record championship. By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer

Instead of focusing on how close he was to winning a record seventh French Open championship, Nadal grew increasingly wary of the other possible outcome: a loss in a fourth consecutive Grand Slam final against Djokovic, who was trying to become the first man since1969 to collect four straight major titles. When play was halted by showers on Sunday, Nadal was clinging to an evershrinking lead. It wasn’t until a few minutes before setting foot back on Court Philippe Chatrier, his favorite arena at his favorite tournament on his favorite surface, that Nadal set aside his anxiety. Oh,

A reminder of just how tough a title run is

By JOHN MEDEIROS jmedeiros@timesleader.com

BLOOMSBURG — As right fielder Kayla Benjamin turned toward the outfield fence, her trot slowly turned into a de facto death march. This Nanticoke powerhouse would be no more. Warrior Run, the first-time champion of District 4, handed the Trojanettes the worst defeat this edition had ever suffered, 14-1 in five innings of the PIAA Class 2A semifinals at Bloomsburg University. “I’m stunned,” Nanticoke coach Gary Williams said. “We didn’t know where to throw the ball. They hit everything that we pitched. They hit shots. They hit dinks. They definitely deserved to win this game.” The Defenders hit like no other team had against Nanticoke, belting 14 hits – 10 in the first two innings. Five players had multiple hits, including first baseman Jackie Clemens. She had three hits and six RBI – the final three coming on the home run Benjamin watched clear the fence some 215 feet away from home plate in the bottom of the third inning. “That was a bomb,” Warrior Run coach Garth Watson said. “She’s hit unbelievable today. She’s a great kid who put in a ton of time in the offseason. She’s a different player than last year.” Every Warrior Run batter reached base at least once in the game and eight Defenders touched home plate. “The book we had on them was that one through three were good, four was not bad and five through nine there was a drop off,” Williams said. “Whoever gave us that report should be hanged.” The Defenders’ five through nine hitters had five hits, three RBI and scored five runs. When Sammy Gow led off the game with a 12-pitch at-bat against Warrior Run pitcher Tay Parker, finally flying out a step shy of the fence in left, it appeared Nanticoke was ready for the Defenders hurler. Instead, a second-inning single by Kayley Schinski was the only hit of the game against Parker, a week after the Trojanettes had nine hits against allstate candidate Ethel Santai of Pine Grove. “We knew about her coming in,” Williams said. “I think our kids just started pressing at the plate. We just got out of

he Nanticoke softball team watched in complete disbelief as the ball jumped off the bat of Warrior Run cleanup hitter Jackie Clemens and cleared the wall. Along with that three-run homer in the third inning, another state championship trip for the Trojanettes pretty much disappeared. “Man oh man,” Nanticoke coach Gary Williams said. “We never saw this coming.” Neither did anyone else. Warrior Run opened the game with a hard single off the glove of an infielder, and never stopped hitting Monday until it pounded home a 14-1 victory that ended a PIAA Class 2A semifinal game after five innings. “I was hitting my spots,” Nanticoke starting pitcher Hannah Rubasky said. “I’ve never seen a team get to every single ball like that and just hit everything.” So a Nanticoke team just two years removed from winning a state championship and carrying a full roster of players from that 2010 PIAA title game had to settle for finishing one step shy of reaching the promised land again. It made them realize just how special doing it once really is. “It doesn’t just happen every year,” said senior shortstop Sammy Gow, who had a remarkable postseason run through her career. “You have to have a lot of talent on the team. You also have to have a lot of luck.” The Trojanettes would have settled for just a little favorable fate at Bloomsburg University’s Hutchison Field. Instead, such a luckless day left Nanticoke feeling lousy. “It’s going to (hurt) for the next couple weeks,” Rubasky said. The pain started for the Trojanettes with the first batter of the game, when Gow fought back to work an 0-2 count full before drilling a deep shot to left field. It wound up in the glove outfielder Katy Swartz for the first out. That wasn’t the last break that went Warrior Run’s way. A base hit bounced off a glove, a two-run double that barely eluded a Trojanettes outfielder, a couple lasers off Nanticoke bats that Warrior Run outfielders speared. “They had a lucky day,” Rubasky said, “and we didn’t.” Meaning only that the Trojanettes didn’t catch any breaks. It was certainly no stroke of fortune the way Warrior Run bats began connecting right from the start, no matter who was pitching for the Trojanettes. “We’ve been hitting together (as a team) a lot,” said winning pitcher Tay Parker, who triggered the 14-hit, 14-run attack with a tworun triple in the first frame. “Once we started hitting, we didn’t stop.” All that offense against them made another ride to the state championship stall quickly on the Trojanettes. “First inning,” Williams said is when he started to worry. “Their first three batters, they hit the ball hard on us.” It just confirmed how hard it is to win a state championship, even with a team as talented and poised and experienced in the postseason as the Trojanettes were. “I don’t think this game defines who we are as a team,” Gow said, “won’t take away any of the accomplishments we’ve had throughout our four years here.” But it will serve as a reminder how special reaching the top of the state even once really is.

ON THE MARK

Southwind Jazmin is the horse for the course and is indeed my selection to win the $25,000 Mares Open Pace tonight at the Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. The four-year old daughter of Art Major has been very solid since kick starting her year at Pocono back on April 27, including taking a career mark of 1:50.1. She’s well bred and with drawing the pole I love her chances at taking home the top prize in this evening’s featured tenth race.

baseball spot since 2006. In his final annual report issued last December, he said the number of drug tests conducted by MLB rose 3 percent over the past year. Baseball rules allowed either MLB or the union to not renew Smith after his term expired. The union decided not to bring him back. “Dr. Smith did a great service to Major League Baseball and the Joint Drug Program during a very difficult period in its history. We think he’s an excellent medical professional,” Rob Manfred, MLB’s executive vice president of economics and league affairs, said in a statement. Last month, MLB management fired Shyam Das, the arbitrator who overturned Ryan Braun’s drug suspension in February. Das had been baseball’s permanent arbitrator since 1999.

Strong start from Ortiz lifts Yankees to win The Times Leader staff

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Ramon Ortiz tossed six innings of shutout ball and gave up just four hits while striking out three to lead the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees to a 3-1 victory over the Louisville Bats on Monday night at Frontier Field in Rochester, N.Y. With the win Ortiz improves to 5-3 on the campaign. His ERA of 3.21 is now a team-low amongst starters. He allowed two runs, one earned, on six hits, while striking out four and walking three. Juan Cedeno picked up his third save of the year as he pitched final 11⁄3 innings, allowing no runs for the Yankees. The Yankees got on the scoreboard in the bottom of the fourth inning when Brandon Laird drove in Russell Branyan with a one-out double. Laird would eventually come around to score on a passed ball from Louisville catcher Dioner Navarro for a 2-0 lead. Jack Cust provided the Yankees with some insurance in the eighth inning. The designated hitter sent his 13th home run of the year over the left field wall for a 3-1 lead. The lone run for the Bats came in the eighth inning when Felix Perez scored from third on a single from Joey Gathright. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and Louisville travel to Dwyer Stadium in Batavia, N,Y., for an 11:05 a.m. start today. Right-hander John Maine makes his Scranton/WilkesBarre debut. The Bats will send Sean Gallagher (5-3, 4.82) to the mound. Yankees 3, Louisville 1

Campbell resigns, returning to roots

Coach leaves Berwick after six seasons to return to former job in Massachusetts. By JOHN MEDEIROS jmedeiros@timesleader.com

The coach who was classy enough to return a stolen playbook to an opponent a few years back was classy enough to hand the keys to the fieldhouse at Crispin Field back to their previous owner. Gary Campbell resigned Monday as Berwick’s head football coach after six seasons. Monday night, the Berwick school board followed a course of action suggested by Campbell, naming George Curry as the interim coach for the upcoming season. “There’s definitely options we went through and George was one of them,” Campbell said of discussions that started Friday. “I thought the kids would be happy to have a legend like him leading them, and I knew the staff would stay to support him. “I was in limbo this morning. I had 60 kids at lifting. That’s when I resigned.” Campbell will be returning to his roots, going back to Dalton, Mass., to lead the Wahconah Regional football program and serve as the school’s athletic director. The Central Berkshire Regional School District, which oversees the school, has set its next school board meeting at Wahconah at 7 p.m. on Thursday. It is expected then that Campbell will officially be voted into his new roles. “This started back in April, when the coach there resigned,” Campbell said. “The shoe really dropped in May when the AD was to step down. We started talking, but it wasn’t the right situation, so I turned it down in May.” Campbell was approached again last Tuesday by Wahconah. He contacted Berwick principal Robert Croop and athletic director Tim Honeywell on Friday to tell them he was considering the move, which was only pending school board approval. “We talked for about a halfhour,” Honeywell said. “The op-

boards. The hit left Scuderi dazed and bloodied before he left the ice under his own power and headed to the dressing room. Scuderi returned to the bench, but Bernier was done for the night — and ultimately the season. Kings captain Dustin Brown scored first at11:03, and Jeff Carter made it 2-0 at 12:45. Just 16 seconds later, Trevor Lewis poked the puck past 40year-old goalie Martin Brodeur’s glove after Dwight King’s centering pass squirted through the crease. Adding to the Devils’ frustration was a 35-foot one-timer by New Jersey’s Patrik Elias that rang off the right post just 38 seconds before the first period ended. Carter made it 4-0 just 11⁄2 minutes into the second period, beating Brodeur with a 40-foot wrist shot from the slot. By then, all that was left to determine was the final score. Adam Henrique cut the deficit to 3-1 with 1:15 left in the second period, but the Devils couldn’t get any closer. The Devils had players march to the penalty box all night long, and lost forwards Ryan Carter and David Clarkson to 10-minute misconducts that forced New Jersey to play with a diminished corps of forwards for large chunks of the game. Defenseman Bryce Salvador also served a 4-minute highsticking penalty in the second period that didn’t produce a goal, but milked important minutes off the clock.

portunity in Massachusetts, that’s where his family is from. He needs to do what’s best for his wife and kids. I think everyone can understand that.” Campbell leaves Curry with a Bulldogs program that has high hopes after an Eastern Conference championship in 2011 and an undefeated freshman team moving up. “He’s getting a great team,” Campbell said. “There’s over 20 seniors and 75 kids. It’s a good group of kids. He’s coming into a quality ballclub.” While Campbell would have loved to see where the Bulldogs would end up in 2012, the opportunity to bring his family home helped made his decision easier. “It’s a great move,” Campbell said. “There’s grandparents there. And I get to control the sports department. If it wasn’t the perfect situation, I’d have stayed here.” There are still some regrets for Campbell, though. “My only regret is I didn’t tell my players right away,” Campbell said. “I should have called a team meeting. In this day and age, I talked to just a couple of people and bang, boom it’s on the computer. They should have heard it from me. We did meet and we did that.” In the end, Campbell leaves Berwick fourth on the school’s all-time wins list with 46. He returns to Wahconah, where he coached for 10 seasons, compiling an 85-23-1 record. His legacy in Berwick was a winning one, despite the prominent shadow cast by the legendary Curry. “The people in the community have been so kind,” Campbell said of his six seasons at Berwick. “In six years, we went to four championship games. We went to two District 2 championship games, winning one. We went to two Eastern Conference championship games, winning one. I feel good about that. “I also feel good about helping out in Little League, helping out in school and what we did in the community. I hope people will say that I was a good guy who really cared about the kids.” His first game as coach at Wahconah will be Friday, Sept. 7 against St. Joseph’s in Pittsfield, Mass. Los Angeles became the second team to win the title without having home-ice advantage in any of the four rounds, a feat first accomplished by the Devils in 1995 when they claimed their first championship. New Jersey was outdone by the Western Conference champions this time, and scored only eight goals in the six games. The Devils dropped a pair of 2-1 overtime decisions at home in the first two games of the series, and fought uphill the rest of the way. The Devils were whistled for nine penalties that totaled 47 minutes in Game 6, after coming in with an average of just 8.7 in the playoffs — the secondfewest in this postseason. It was too much to overcome, particularly after Bernier’s costly major. New Jersey recorded only 18 shots on Kings goalie Jonathan Quick, who won the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP. Brodeur, who backstopped New Jersey to Cup titles in 1995, 2000 and 2003, made 19 saves in the clincher.

stayed involved with the game. The state of Pennsylvania is filled with some very, very good coaches. But he’s the best. “For Berwick to have an opportunity to get him back, they’re very, very lucky. I think he’s going to do the great job that he’s always done.” Curry earned 362 of his record 413 wins at Berwick, where he led the program to six state championships. He started out at Lake-Lehman and most recently coached at Wyoming Valley West from 2006-08 before retiring because of health concerns. His first game on the sideline for the Dawgs in seven years will be Aug. 31 against Crestwood. Keating, who served as an assistant under Curry with the Spartans in 2008 before taking over for him after that season, will host Berwick on Sept. 21. “That’s always a heated rivalry,” Keating said of the DawgsSpartans matchup. “Something tells me there’ll be a little extra spice to this one. Between the fans, students and everything else – wow. I think it’s great for the game. It’s all for the better.” Though he did not get to coach his staff for long, Keating said Curry made a tremendous impact on him as a young coach.

H.S. VOLLEYBALL Keating said he has adopted a good deal Curry’s methodology for his own head coaching career. “It was definitely neat to see him in certain situations, just how his mind went through things,” Keating said. “It was great to see him in action, of course, on a Friday night and how he made adjustments.” Curry’s first home game will be a non-league game against Pottsville on Sept. 7. Cinti and his Coughlin squad will host Berwick on Oct. 26. “As a coach, personally, it makes you work harder because he’s on the other sideline,” Cinti said. “No complaining, you’ve just got to get better. When you go up against a George Curry or (former Dallas coach) Ted Jackson, it makes you a better coach. “I think it’s fantastic for conference. … It’s going to be an electric atmosphere. You’ve got to get excited for that. If you can’t do that, you might as well not play any athletics.” The Crusaders and Dawgs could both be competing for a District 2 Class 3A playoff spot when they meet in Week 9. The regular season ends a week later when Berwick hosts Hazleton Area at Crispin Field. “I never thought I’d be coaching against him (as a head coach),” Drumheller said. “I’m really looking forward to it. He’s a great guy and a very good friend.”

Two locals off to London The Times Leader Staff

Two local athletes took one more step toward achieving Olympic gold Monday. Shavertown’s Paige Selenski was named to the U.S. Olympic women’s field hockey team and Drums native Casey Eichfeld will also be heading to London as a member of the U.S. Olympic canoe/kayak team. This marks Eichfeld’s second trip to the Olympics after competing in 2008 at Beijing. He will be competing in the Men’s Single Canoe event. “I’m a talker and I’m speechless. I don’t know what to do, I don’t know what to feel. I’m just sort of floating right now,” Eich-

feld told the U.S. Canoe/Kayak website on Saturday after qualifying. Selenski, who graduated from Dallas in 2008, will be counted on to add some scoring punch after leading the University of Virginia in goals for three consecutive seasons. Throughout her collegiate career Selenski has been named ACC freshman of the year and was a first-team All-American two years in a row at Virginia after recording back-to-back 27goals seasons. Selenski was named to the U.S. National team in June of 2010 after several years at the junior/developmental level.

our comfort zone.” Schinski singled to center and stole second on the first pitch to the next batter, Lindsay Roberts. After Roberts’ liner to center was caught by Gabby Shrawder. With Katie Wolfe standing in the batter’s box, Parker threw three consecutive pitches to the backstop, allowing Schinski to cut the Nanticoke deficit to 3-1. Warrior Run answered with six runs in the bottom of the second, breaking the game open. Nanticoke committed the first of four errors during the second as things came undone for the 2010 state champs. “We were uncharacteristic defensively,” Williams said. “That kind of shocked me. Maybe they felt the pressure? They made some defensive plays we haven’t seen all season.” “We were very loose,” said Watson of the Defenders, who had never won a state playoff game before this season. “We had nothing to lose. We just had to come in and play ball. “We knew Nanticoke would put the ball in play. We just had to make plays, and we did.” The Trojanettes had a streak of six consecutive state playoff wins snapped. Thirteen seniors will leave the program after the loss. “I’m going to miss them,” Williams said. “I told them you’ve got to look at this, and if they win

did he. The King of Clay overwhelmed the No.1-ranked Djokovic for the 50 minutes and nine games they played Monday, wrapping up a 6-4, 6-3, 2-6, 7-5 victory that allowed Nadal to earn French Open trophy No. 7, breaking a tie with Bjorn Borg. “You never know if you’re going to win another one,” said the second-ranked Nadal, who now owns 11 Grand Slam titles. “I don’t know if I am the best or not,” he added. “I am not the right one to say that.” Djokovic, for his part, had zero doubts. He worked his way back into the match with an eight-

game run when it was pouring Sunday, but otherwise was outplayed. “He’s definitely (the) best player in history ... on this surface,” said Djokovic, whose 27-match Grand Slam winning streak ended, “and results are showing that he’s one of the best ever.” Can’t argue with that. Since his French Open debut at age 18 in May 2005, Nadal is 52-1for his career at the tournament, the only loss coming in 2009. He’s just as good elsewhere on clay, too: Nadal’s won eight titles at Monte Carlo, seven at Barcelona, six at Rome. Asked to explain his success on the surface, Nadal pointed not to his uppercut of a topspin-slathered forehand, or his superior returns of serve, but rather to his

movement, his mental fortitude, and this: “I always was scared to lose.” Djokovic gave Nadal reason for added concern, having beaten him in the finals at Wimbledon in July, the U.S. Open in September, and the Australian Open in January. Djokovic was attempting to be only the third man to win four major tournaments in succession. Alas, Djokovic ran into Nadal at Roland Garros. The same thing happened to Roger Federer in 2006 and 2007, when his Grand Slam bids fell one win short because of losses to Nadal in the French Open final. “For us, it was very important to win here now against Djokovic, because we knew that if he

won again, the fourth one, then (Rafa) completing a Grand Slam of losses would have been ugly,” said Toni Nadal, Rafael’s uncle and coach. “And we were very close to doing that.” Instead, his nephew gained ground on Federer’s record of 16 Grand Slam titles, tying Borg and Laver for fourth place. When Djokovic double-faulted to end the match, Nadal dropped to his knees and covered his face. He rose, chucked his racket, and clambered into the stands for a group hug with his father and various members of his entourage. “When you lose, it’s because you don’t deserve the title,” Nadal said. “So in my mind, this was the final I had to win. That’s why I was so emotional.”

Clemens declines to give any testimony Closing arguments in the perjury trial against the former pitcher begin today.

By JOSEPH WHITE AP Sports Writer

WASHINGTON — His large frame towering over the microphone, Roger Clemens leaned forward at the podium and declared to the judge in a deep voice with a Texas twang: “Yes sir, I am not testifying.” Minutes earlier, four prosecutors representing the U.S. government huddled at their table and then declared: No, they wouldn’t roll the dice to try to introduce new evidence to bolster the credibility of their key witness. There was just too much risk that it could backfire. The final set of witnesses took the stand Monday as the contentious, start-and-stop Clemens

perjury trial entered its ninth week, and both sides played it safe with major decisions. The tenor would have obviously changed completely had the defendant chosen to take the stand, and the jury would have been given another set of dueling impressions of Brian McNamee if the government had sought to bring in more evidence of other players’ use of performance-enhancing drugs. Clemens is charged with lying to Congress in 2008 when he denied using steroids and human growth hormone in his 24-season major league career. The defense rested, and the government called three rebuttal witnesses Monday — including one who had testy exchanges with a Clemens lawyer about evidence saved with a beer can — and closing arguments are set for today. The jury, which has heard from 46 witnesses over 26 days of testi-

NASCAR

mony, could get the case this afternoon. The jury will be able to deliberate on Wednesday if need be, before taking a four-day break while U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton is out of town. Barring a quick verdict, the trial will extend into a 10th week — when one of the jurors is scheduled to leave for a six-month trip to Germany. With that in mind, the judge said he will promote the final alternate and designate the Germany-bound juror as the alternate. The juror added to the panel of 12 — eight women and four men — is an avid cyclist who said during jury selection that he knows people who use steroids. McNamee, Clemens’ longtime strength coach, testified that he injected the former pitcher with steroids in 1998, 2000 and 2001 and with HGH in 2000. He is the only witness to claim firsthand knowledge of Clemens’ use of

performance-enhancing drugs, and Clemens’ lawyers devoted much of the trial attacking his integrity. The combative nature of the trial was exemplified by the testimony of Dr. Ed Blake, a DNA expert from Forensic Analytical Sciences. Blake took issue with some of the opinions expressed by the defense’s DNA expert. That drew several challenges from Clemens lawyer Michael Attanasio during cross-examination. “You’re trying to confuse this jury,” Blake told Attanasio. “And you’re trying to confuse me.” McNamee said he kept the beer can in a FedEx box in his house for more than six years, but his estranged wife, Eileen McNamee, testified last week that she didn’t remembering seeing a beer can in the box when she found it in her husband’s closet. One crucial point was left

hanging: The defense again moved that the issue of whether Clemens was at teammate Jose Canseco’s house on June 9, 1998 is not relevant to the trial. Clemens said at his congressional deposition that he wasn’t — and one of the charges against him is that he obstructed Congress when he made that statement.

The evidence at the trial has clearly shown that Clemens was at Canseco’s house that day, but prosecutors have connected his attendance to steroids use only in vague terms. “I do have problems with that allegation,” Walton said. He said he would study the matter further and rule today.

Reversal of fortune LeBron vs. Durant highlight finals showdown for Logano and Busch Logano’s victory, Busch’s tantrum call into question free agency decisions. By JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The free agent picture in NASCAR got a whole lot murkier over the last week, thanks to Kurt Busch and Joey Logano. Fittingly, both are likely eyeing the exact same seat. It’s fairly common knowledge that Joe Gibbs Racing is interested in Busch, and unless the funding for a fourth car magically appears, the only seat the team has available currently belongs to Logano. While Logano was driving the No. 20 Toyota to victory on Sunday at Pocono, Busch was apparently fishing. A picture posted on Twitter showed the 2004 NASCAR champion with a line in the water, his activity of choice as he served a one-race suspension for verbally abusing a member of the media. Suddenly, it may not be so easy for JGR to give Logano the boot. His young career is at a crossroads in the fourth and final year of his Sprint Cup contract. Once heralded as the next big NASCAR superstar, Logano has struggled to deliver at the top level. While he has 13 wins in the Nationwide Series — four so far this season — Sunday’s victory was just the second Cup win for Logano in 125 career starts. With teammates Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin established as annual title contenders, it’s no secret that Logano is lagging far behind the other two in terms of production. Enter Kurt Busch, who is riding out this year trying to elbow his way back in with an elite team. His kid brother is already entrenched at JGR, and the team has plenty of experience in dealing with volatile drivers dating to its 10-year run with Tony Stewart. “We love Kurt, mainly because of Kyle and Kyle has got a strong feeling for him,” Gibbs told reporters last month.

Neither Gibbs or team president J.D. Gibbs was at Logano’s post-race news conference on Sunday, when Logano admitted he doesn’t know what’s next for his future. “I haven’t been informed on where I stand for next year yet, so it’s all up in the air,” he said. “Obviously winning a race means a lot and it helps that out a ton. For sure right now my future is not set with anybody. To get this win means a lot. It’s at a perfect time.” He’s certainly got that right. The summer stretch is typically when all the jockeying for open seats heats up, and Busch did himself no favors at Dover two weeks ago with his abusive language toward a Sporting News reporter. It was yet another gaffe that NASCAR would not tolerate, and since Busch was already on probation for an incident at Darlington, he was suspended for a weekend. Busch is not eligible to return to competition until Wednesday, and he’s first got to make it through a meeting with current team owner James Finch. That’s expected to happen on Tuesday, and Finch has given no indication he’s going to deliver a soft message. “Here’s the deal: Quit wrecking the cars, get a good finish, be nice to people. That’s not real hard to do,” Finch said last week. Before his suspension, Busch was widely considered a candidate along with Ryan Newman for Logano’s ride. Now Logano has picked up a win in that car, and Busch has yet to begin his public attempt at damage control. He has said nothing for a week. The issue for a team owner, whether it’s Gibbs or someone else looking for a driver right now, is rating Busch vs. Logano, who maybe wasn’t on many radars before Sunday. Logano, for his part, said he hopes to hang onto his job with JGR. “You never know,” he said. “Those things go back and forth, and all I can do is stay focused on my job. The puzzle pieces will fall together eventually.”

NBA FINALS Arguably the best two players Oklahoma City vs. Miami in the league will square off Today: Miami at Oklahoma City, 9 as the Heat and Thunder play. p.m.

By BRIAN MAHONEY AP Basketball Writer

OKLAHOMA CITY — LeBron James is quickly racking up MVP awards while Kevin Durant is collecting scoring titles at the same pace. Either could make a case as the best player in the NBA. Neither is interested in anything beyond team accomplishments. One of them is about to get the only crown he craves, their headto-head duel the leading story line of the NBA finals that begin Tuesday night when Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder host James and the Miami Heat. “I think it’s going to be a great matchup,” Miami’s Dwyane Wade said Monday. “I think it’s going to be two players that’s going to be tough to guard each other, that’s going to have to guard each other.” Both insist the series is more

than an individual matchup and the All-Star talent around them supports the claim. But the focus will be on James, the three-time MVP in his third shot at a championship, and Durant, the threetime scoring champion who is playing for his first at age 23. It’s the first time the MVP and scoring champ have met in the finals since 1997, when Michael Jordan’s Bulls knocked off MVP Karl Malone and Utah. “Everybody is going to make the most out of the matchup of

least for the time being, James posted his last message on April 27 and Durant on May 1. For now, they will stick to making their statements on the court. “Kevin is locked in on what he needs to do to help the team win,” Thunder All-Star point guard Russell Westbrook said. “It’s going to be a great series for both teams and hopefully we can come out with the win.” James is back for a third crack at a championship, his Cavaliers swept by San Antonio in 2007 just a couple of weeks before Durant was drafted with the No. 2 pick. James fell short again last year in his first season with Miami, then carried the Heat to another chance with victories in the final two games of the Eastern Conference finals against the Celtics. Only one can be considered the best player in the game, and it’s probably the guy who walks out of this series as a champion. “I think it’s going to bring the best out of both of them, and it’s going to be the best for the game,” Wade said, “and it’s going to be a great show.”

Back Mountain prevails in tight pitching duel The Times Leader staff

LEHMAN TWP. — Back Mountain scored a run in the first and second inning then held on for a 2-1 victory over Mountain Top-1 on Monday at Lake-Lehman in a Wyoming Valley American Legion baseball game. In a pitcher’s duel between Back Mountain’s Craig Skudalski and Mountain Top’s Shane Casey, they both pitched a complete game.

After years of waiting on a JamesKobe Bryant finals matchup that never materialized, the league gets one that’s perhaps even better, if not quite as sexy, to wrap up a season after the lockout. “It’s great for the NBA,” Miami’s Shane Battier said. “I anticipate record ratings, which is great, so maybe we can get some of the escrow check back from the owners.

After 12 years of trying, Dennis Miller qualified for the U.S. Open in style.

By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

SAN FRANCISCO — Just think if Dennis Miller had made that 8-foot birdie putt on the next-to-last hole of U.S. Open qualifying. He would be just another long shot in the field at Olympic Club, a burly, 42-year-old teaching pro from Ohio who got into this major on his 12th attempt. There are stories like that, players like him, just about every year in the U.S. Open. One putt that hung on the lip changed everything. Miller was famous even before he arrived. As he settled into his chair Monday morning, the USGA played a video that has gone viral In a four-man playoff for three spots into the U.S. Open, Miller rapped a 20-foot putt from the fringe and watched it graze the front of the cup and stop there. He took one step, then two, and turned his back to the cup on the fifth step when “I could gravity took never have over the ball dropped into dreamed cup of qualify- theThe small ing in this gallery threw their arms in fashion, the air in disbethat’s for lief, and Miller was awash sure.” with shock. Dennis Miller Twelve years Open entrant trying to play in his national championship, never coming particularly close, and now this. “I could never have dreamed of qualifying for the U.S. Open in this fashion, that’s for sure,” he said before going out for his first look at Olympic. Less than a week later, the video is closing in on 400,000 hits on YouTube. Miller, the golf director at Millcreek Metroparks in Canfield, Ohio, received more than a thousand text messages and emails. He called some of his colleagues who have experience on a national stage — former tour pro Jerry McGee and ex-Walker Cup captain Bob Lewis among them — asking for advice. One of them was George Bellino from Tippecanoe Country Club. “I asked George, ‘Do you have any advice?’ He said, ‘Yeah, stay home,”’ Miller said with a laugh. Not a chance. Miller played college golf at Youngstown State. His biggest thrill in golf was winning the Ohio Open. “Yeah, that wasn’t the top highlight on ESPN,” he said. He has been to the Professional National Championship a few times, but never finished high enough to get into the PGA Championship. He made it out of local qualifying seven times, though never came closer than four shots to getting into the U.S. Open. His time was running out. Miller was an alternate out of the first stage of qualifying and wasn’t even planning to show up at the sectional qualifier in Columbus, Ohio, except that he had never played Scioto Coun-

try Club, where Bobby Jones won the 1926 U.S. Open and where Jack Nicklaus was raised. “We were actually debating going to the qualifier because I was an alternate,” Miller said. “We didn’t play a practice round. “One of the reasons I did want to go is the fact that I wanted to see the golf course. I didn’t play Sunday. Actually, I took my son and my wife, we went to a Cleveland Indians game. And they lost.” One of the thrills of U.S. Open qualifying is the chance to be paired with a PGA Tour player — Blake Adams in this case, and he also qualified. But expectations were not terribly high until everything finally fell his way — a great day of driving, making enough putts, finishing on 141 and being told it probably wouldn’t be enough, finding out he was in a playoff, making a 25-foot par putt to stay in the playoff, and then the putt that decided to fall and fulfill a dream. Miller never imagined being compared with Tiger Woods, for the way the putt dropped was reminiscent of Woods’ chip-in at the 2005 Masters. “You couldn’t script this story,” he said. Miller swapped out his Titleist cap for the San Francisco 49ers, but don’t get the idea he’s playing to the crowd. He’s been a fan since the Youngstown-based DeBartolo family owned the team, and John York and Denise DeBartolo supported his trip out west. Some local groups got together to sponsor him, and Miller now looks like some of the pros with logos on his shirt — Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream & Yogurt and Ristvey Investment Group on the chest, and Auntie Anne’s pretzels on the sleeve. “I’ve got ice cream and pretzels. What does that tell you,” said Miller, not needing to say he has indulged in both more than once. Miller is not here to soak in the scenery, rub elbows with the best and go home. He expects to play well. He has no false illusions about winning. He realizes who he is and what brought him to this stage. And he understands what — and whom — he is up against now. He is a working-class golfer, a point driven home to him just two days after his greatest moment in golf. “We actually had a Chamber of Commerce golf outing Wednesday,” he said. “Had 300 golfers out there. I worked about 14 hours that day. That was my preparation up to this week.”

Five-time Olympian and Tour de France veteran George Hincapie will retire from cycling after the 2012 season, bringing to a close one of the most successful careers by an American rider. Hincapie, who turns 39 on June 29, announced his decision in a statement Monday. The affable, understated Hincapie was a longtime aide for Lance Armstrong during the mountain stages of the Tour de France, helping him win each of his seven titles. He helped Alberto Contador win the Tour in 2007 and Cadel Evans win the iconic stage race last summer. He’s expected to help Evans defend his title when the Tour de France starts June 30 in Liege, Belgium. Now riding for BMC Racing Team, Hincapie would be riding his 17th Tour de France, breaking the record he had shared with Dutch rider Joop Zoetemelk for the most starts. “I came to the conclusion that I want to go out while I can still contribute and make a difference,” Hincapie said. “To be able to compete for 19 years as a pro-

fessional cyclist has been something I would have never dreamed of doing. But at the same time, it’s also going to be good to spend more time with my kids, who are getting to be the age where they miss me when I’m gone.” Hincapie made his first Olympic team at the 1992 Barcelona Games. He’s been a part of the U.S. team for every Olympics since, and will learn by Monday whether he will be chosen as part of the road team that will compete in London this summer. While he’s most well known for being a faithful servant to other

riders — in cycling, the term is domestique — Hincapie has achieved no shortage of personal milestones. He’s won several stages in the Tour de France, and has been a constant threat in cycling’s spring classics, winning GentWevelgem in 2001 and finishing second at Paris-Roubaix in 2005. He’s also won Three Days of De Panne and the Tour of Missouri. Hincapie won national road race titles in 1998, 2006 and 2009. “I am very proud that he was able to start as a professional with me on the Motorola team in 1994 and that I’m still with him at

the end of his career,” said Jim Ochowicz, the president of BMC Racing Team. “It’s been an honor to bookend the career of one of the nicest people and one of the greatest cyclists America has ever produced.” Hincapie has mostly escaped the specter of doping that has shadowed many riders of his era, including Armstrong, who remains one of his close friends. The most serious accusation against Hincapie came in May 2011, when “60 Minutes” reported that he told federal authorities that he and Armstrong supplied each other with performance-enhancing drugs and discussed them. Hincapie has said he never spoke to “60 Minutes” and didn’t know where it got its information, and otherwise declined to discuss the report. “Congrats (at)ghincapie on one helluva career. Sad to see you go,” Armstrong tweeted Monday. Hincapie said he will remain involved with cycling, perhaps even with the BMC Racing Team. He’ll also be busy with his company, Hincapie Sportswear, which has grown into a leader in performance apparel targeted primarily at cyclists. “I’m hoping that he’ll change his mind, probably like many other cycling fans around the world will do when they hear the news,” Evans said.

Recession made us poorer

A Federal Reserve survey has found that the Great Recession shrank Americans’ wealth so much that in 2010 median family net worth was no more than it had been in 1992 after adjusting for inflation. The Fed’s survey of family finances finds that median net worth declined from $126,400 in 2007 to $77,300 in 2010. The median marks the point where half had more and half had less. The recession officially began in December 2007 and ended in June 2009. Net worth is the value of assets like homes, bank accounts and stocks, minus debts like mortgages and credit cards.

Online ads rise 15%

An advertising industry group says revenue from Internet advertising in the U.S. hit $8.4 billion in the first three months of the year. That’s the highest for the first quarter, up 15 percent from $7.3 billion in the same period last year. The record for any quarter is $9 billion in the final three months of 2011. The group did not break down the figures, but typically the bulk of the spending comes from text-based ads that are sold by Google Inc. and other companies. These ads are targeted to search terms and other keywords.

WELL, APPLE FANS are again in for a treat. At the World Wide Developer Conference in San Francisco, the company on Monday announced another new slew of Apple products and upgrades. Among them, a new version of the OS X operating system, this one codenamed Mountain Lion, along with a new Mac Book Pro and an update for the MacBook Air, as well as upgrades to the iPad, iPhone, and iPod in the form of a new mobile operating system, iOS 6. So what’s in the pipeline? Mountain Lion, the new version of Apple’s OS X operating system, will offer better integration with iCloud, and will be a bit closer, in terms of user experience, to Apple mobile devices. Microsoft has taken strong steps in this direction as well, so it will be interesting to see how that move plays out. Apple also announced an update

The owner of The Orange County Register announced Monday that it will be acquired by 2100 Trust LLC, a privately held company led by a Massachusetts investor who previously planned to buy The Boston Globe. The deal includes the sale of the six other remaining Freedom dailies and related properties. In May, Freedom sold four Midwest papers to an affiliate of Versa Capital Management, the owner of Impressions Media, publisher of The Times Leader, Go Lackawanna, the Dallas Post and several other publications and news websites.

China boosts lending

Chinese banks picked up the pace of lending in May in an effort to stabilize the world’s second-largest economy as it faces growing fears about a sharp slowdown. Lending institutions exceeded analysts’ expectations by issuing a robust $124.5 billion in new loans last month.

WILKES-BARRE – The News Station is opening a new news office on Public Square. Signs in a ground-floor office of the Bicentennial Building announce that WNEP Channel 16, the local ABC affiliate, is coming soon with a Wyoming Valley Newsroom for Newswatch 16. Carl Abraham, WNEP news director, confirmed the newsroom will open sometime in July, with two news crews – about four or five people – stationed there. “It will help us better serve WilkesBarre and the Wyoming Valley,” Abraham said on Monday. “We’ll be there first thing in the morning as opposed to driving from Moosic. It will save us a little time.” The state-of-the-art HD broadcast facility will be Newswatch 16’s home base for coverage of the Wyoming Valley, Abraham said. WNEP Wyoming Valley reporter Jim Murdoch and a photographer will be one of the crews stationed there and Abraham said he is working to finalize a second crew. “WNEP is committed to covering the news from across our entire viewing area,” said President and General Manager Chuck Morgan. “We believe the addition of a permanent newsroom in Wilkes-Barre will enable us to deliver even better news coverage to this very important part of our market.” The Wyoming Valley Newsroom at Public Square will be the third news bureau in the region for WNEP, the News Station. WNEP also operates a bureau in the Poconos and another in Central Pennsylvania. WNEP’s studios are on Montage Mountain Road in Moosic. The decision to lease the office space was made within the last couple months, Abraham said. He didn’t know the length of the lease. “We’re really excited about the possibilities an additional newsroom like this creates,” Abraham said. “And we’re looking forward to becoming a permanent part of the neighborhood.”

its Happy Meals to make them healthier was to reduce the sodium by 20 percent. The other meals that made the list come from various fastfood chains: Chick-fil-A Kids Grilled Nuggets Meal: contains the same amount of cholesterol as a Big Mac. Sonic Kids’ Jr. Burger Meal: contains more sugar than two Twinkies.

Not-so-healthy fast food

When McDonald’s announced that it was making over its Happy Meal last year to be healthier, I was unimpressed. I’m not the only one. That Happy Meal and four other fast-food meals aimed at children have made the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine’s report of the Five

Worst “Healthy” Fast-Food Kids’ Meals. One of the reasons McDonald’s Cheeseburger Happy Meal made the list was because the entire meal contains “more sodium than 13 orders of McDonald’s kids’ fries.” That’s a little ironic, because one of the changes McDonald’s made to

Burger King Hamburger Kids’ Meal: contains almost as much cholesterol as six slices of pork bacon. Denny’s Build Your Own Jr. Grand Slam: contains almost 100 more milligrams of sodium than the government recommends children consume at breakfast. Most of these meals have options to change the fries to apple slices or the sodas to milk, and

those are good changes, but when you look at the meal as a whole, they are still not healthy. Parents need to realize and accept that small “healthier” changes do not equal an entire meal that is healthy. With this understanding, they can make smarter choices because they know the truth, not just the marketing hype.

Geisinger Wyoming Valley establishes NICU transport team The neonatal intensive care unit at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center recently established its NICU transport team, a collaborative with local ambulance units that orchestrates transportation for newborns requiring specialized care from other hospitals in Luzerne County. Dr. Ravi Agarwal is medical director of the GWV NICU. The NICU opened in October and previously was able to only treat children born at GWV. In the past, had newborns required NICU care and were born elsewhere in the county, they would have been transported to Lackawanna or Lehigh counties. With a transport team in place, families who deliver prematurely in Luzerne County will be able to remain close to home during their child’s stay in the NICU. A transport team is activated when a referring physician notifies a neonatologist at GWV of a baby requiring NICU care. At that point ground transportation for the newborn can respond within 30 minutes and begin transporting the child to the GWV NICU. Golden Living joins online network Keystone Health Information Exchange (KeyHIE®) has announced that several Golden Living skilled nursing facilities in northeast and central Pennsylvania will be the first post-acute health care facilities to participate in the KeyHIE network. KeyHIE is an online network that links doctors, hospitals and other health care professionals in a 31county region of Pennsylvania and provides them with secure access to patient-consented health information, including laboratory and test results, treatment histories, and medication and allergy lists. The secured website allows clinicians and providers to access patient health data from all participating health care providers in a standardized electronic format. This initiative has the potential to help caregivers access information as patients transfer from one care setting or care giver to another. Local Golden LivingCenters joining KeyHIE are East Mountain, WilkesBarre; Scranton; Summit, WilkesBarre; and Tunkhannock.

It’s dangerous to treat burn with egg whites Q: I got an email that described using egg whites to treat a bad burn. It said the collagen protein in egg whites helped heal the burn. Is that really true? —J.F., Orlando, Fla. A: No, it’s not. Placing egg whites on a second degree burn (blistering skin) or a third degree burn (a burn through the entire thickness of the skin) places the person at high risk of salmonella bacteria entering through a defect in the skin to cause illness. Salmonella bacteria are commonly found in raw eggs, and burned skin acts as an excellent culture medium for all sorts of bacteria. Beyond bacteria concerns, there’s nothing magical about egg whites’ purported healing properties other than that it might provide a protective barrier over burned tissue. This email hoax also describes how the collagen protein in the egg white can promote rapid tissue repair. Here is a link to snopes.com that describes how that simply is not true: www.snopes.com/medical/homecure/ eggwhite.asp. Also, it is not true that firemen recommend or are taught in their training egg white application for the first aid treatment of burns. For first and second degree burns, cool water is helpful to draw out the heat, soothe and stop the burning process. Third degree burns are often associated with shock and rapid loss of body heat, so cool water to such burns should be administered cautiously (if at all) along with IV fluid resuscitation by trained emergency personnel.

he beginning of summer always seems to be accompanied by an onslaught of sunscreens. The market is crowded with lotions and sprays, powders and lip balms, and, increasingly, multi-tasking products with inventive application methods that are touted for their ability to do more than just block the UVA and UVB rays that lead to sunburns, skin cancer and premature aging of the skin. Indeed, many of the season’s new sun care products were designed to marry broad-spectrum sun protection with anti-aging compounds, moisturizers, makeup — even self tanners. “The world of sun care has changed. It used to be enough that you just had an SPF product. You were going to the beach or pool and you knew you needed sun protection. But sun damage happens every day, so we’re looking for more out of our formulas,” said Holly Thaggard, owner and founder of Supergoop, in San Antonio — a maker of broad-spectrum sunscreens that incorporate anti-aging compounds in formulas that are free of parabens, fragrance, oxybenzone and other chemicals common to massmarket brands. Earlier this month, Supergoop (sold at Sephora, Nordstrom, Macy’s and other retailers) introduced a broadspectrum 20 SPF sunscreen and self tanner that works gradually and doesn’t rub off on clothes or towels. In February, the company also introduced a lightweight 30 SPF serum for the face, which absorbs quickly and doesn’t look or feel greasy. “The whole idea is to get away

Q: I’d like to let you and your readers know about something that I discovered in my treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). For the last four years or so, I’ve had to get up multiple times at night to urinate. I assumed it was due to an enlarged prostate, but medications for that didn’t help. When I recently began wearing a CPAP mask for sleep apnea, I almost immediately noticed a decrease in urination to only once a night (or none). Can you explain why I’m so much better? —T.J., Philadelphia

Be aware of germs when traveling on airplanes By HARRY JACKSON JR. St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Don’t let stray germs ruin your travel plans. Here’s something to brighten up your summer travel prospects. Airports and airplanes are major gathering places for microbes from around the world, says Peter J. Sheldon Sr., a vice president with the Coverall Health-Based Cleaning System a company that cleans places such as hospitals. Nothing ruins a trip more than spending it in bed with a bug you picked up during the travel, he said. And there’s no better way to spread them

1. The airplane toilet — The airplane washroom is the germiest place on a trip, or for that matter, any toilet in a transportation hub. E. coli and other infectious agents can be on any surface. The tiny sink, door handles, even the paper dispensers have germs. The facilities devices are rarely cleaned adequately between flights, especially continuing flights. Advice — Avoid using the airplane restroom. If you must, use paper towels to turn faucets on and off and to open

than pack a lot of people into a small place. So be cautious and take steps to stay well, Sheldon said. The first line of defense, is to carry a hand sanitizer and alcohol wipes. Then, know the favorite places where germs and viruses linger. See AIRPLANES, Page 2C

A: Nocturia, or getting up at night to urinate, tends to occur with increasing frequency as we get older. Among 50-69 year-olds, 58 percent of men and 66 percent of women experience nocturia; in folks older than age 80, 72 percent of men and 91 percent of women report nocturia. There are various explanations for this, including an enlarged prostate causing incomplete bladder emptying; bladder muscle over-activity; menopause (estrogen replacement can reduce the incidence of nocturia); and the under-recognized condition of obstructive sleep apnea. OSA causes nocturia by the following mechanism: The job of the heart’s right ventricle is to pump blood to the lungs to get oxygenated. In obstructive sleep apnea, one is cutting off the airway multiple times per hour with many episodes where there’s no breathing (i.e. — apnea). During these brief episodes of apnea, the pressure is building up inside the right ventricle because blood can’t flow into the lungs. The body senses the increased right heart pressure and sends a false signal that the person has too much fluid onboard and is in congestive heart failure. There’s a hormonal release of atrial natriuretic peptide (acts like a diuretic) and a decrease in the fluidpreserving hormone vasopressin. The net effect is increased urination at night. As you’ve discovered, wearing a CPAP mask at night can correct the problem of frequent nocturia. Dr. Mitchell Hecht is a physician specializing in internal medicine.

Music training improves the aging process By HARRY JACKSON JR. St. Louis Post-Dispatch

EVANSTON, Ill. — Music training has a lifelong good impact on the aging process, says a new study out of Northwestern University. Researchers in the Auditory Neuroscience Laboratory at Northwestern measured the automatic brain responses of younger and older musicians and non-musicians to speech sounds. Researchers discovered that older musicians had a distinct neural timing advantage. Researchers concluded that age-related delays in neural timing are not inevitable and can be avoided or offset with musical training. “The older musicians not only outperformed their older non-musician counterparts, they encoded the sound stimuli as quickly and accurately as

Onboard magazines — Passengers don’t wash their hands before reading an airplane magazine, and often they lick their fingers as they turn the page.

the younger non-musicians,” said neuroscientist Nina Kraus. “This reinforces the idea that how we actively experience sound over the course of our lives has a profound effect on how our nervous system functions,” she said. Kraus, professor of communication sciences in the School of Communication and profes-

sor of neurobiology and physiology in the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences, is co-author of “Musical experience offsets age-related delays in neural timing.” The data, with recent animal data from other research centers suggest that intensive training even late in life could improve speech processing in

cy evacuation instructions. Use the alcohol wipes. 3. Water fountains — Public drinking fountains can harbor as many as 2.7 million bacteria per square inch on the spigot. Advice — Avoid fountains. Bring water in small bottles. Often check-ins allow sealed bottles. Or buy water from vendors in the terminal. On the airplane, ask for bottled water from the beverage cart as onboard tap water can carry microbes. 4. The airline pillows and blankets — Of 100 pillows and blankets on an airplane, five will be contaminated with cold

or flu viruses from coughs, sneezes or drool, says Sheldon. Advice — Rather than risk the dice throw of on-board pillows and blankets, bring your own U-shaped neck pillow. Or, wear an extra layer of clothing if you’re prone to chills. Use your coat as a blanket and ball up that sweater for a pillow. 5. The security line — No one itches to walk through an

airport security line, but you may be itching afterwards if you let your feet go commando. You can pick up foot infections including athlete’s foot and mysterious grunge from others’ shoes. Advice — Always wear socks when traveling to avoid barefoot time. Wear sturdy shoes on the flight in case of emergencies.

Previous studies from Kraus’ Auditory Neuroscience Laboratory suggest that musical training also offset losses in memory and difficulties hearing speech in noise — two common complaints of older adults. The lab has been extensively studying the effects of musical experience on brain plasticity across the life span in normal and clinical populations, and in educational settings.

from the lifeguard, white-nose look. Everyone wants it very transparent,” said Chris Birchby, founder of COOLA, an Oceanside, Calif.-based company that makes a broad variety of certified organic, chemical-free, broad-spectrum sunscreens. Among COOLA’s offerings is a matte-finish tinted sunscreen for the face that is incredibly lightweight and utterly unlike the gooey formulations of so many other mineral sunscreens that make wearers resemble Mummenschanz. COOLA products are made with zinc and titanium, which work by reflecting sunlight, but the particles are encapsulated and coated to make them disperse more equally and, therefore, more transparently, said Birchby, who added that he was inspired to bring COOLA to market in 2009 after both his parents were diagnosed with melanoma.

Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, with the incidence of its most deadly form — melanoma — increasing 2.3 percent for men and 2.5 percent for women annually. More than 2 million Americans are diagnosed with skin cancer each year, according to the American Cancer Society. Ironically, the incidence of skin cancer is growing even as the market for sunscreens expands. But most of us don’t use enough protection. A shot glass full of sunscreen should be applied to exposed skin every day, according to the American Academy of Dermatology, but most people apply just 25 percent to 50 percent of the recommended amount. If the best sunscreen is the sunscreen people will use, multi-tasking products that are easy to apply and fold into busy lives may offer a solution. “I have three kids and a hairy husband, and getting lotion on them is a major hassle,” said Valerie McMurray, founder of Soleil Or-

Despite the constant admonishment to use, then reapply, sunscreen every two hours, the entire product category can be confusing. Here’s our cheat sheet: Ultraviolet, or UV, light is the sun’s radiation. There are three types of UV light, only two of which reach the Earth and impact skin. UVA accounts for 95 percent of the sun’s radiation that reaches the Earth’s surface. It penetrates the skin and contributes to skin damage, such as wrinkles, and skin cancer. UVB accounts for the remaining 5 percent of ultraviolet radiation that reaches the Earth. It is responsible for causing sunburn. Broad-spectrum sunscreens are designed to protect users from UVA and UVB rays. A sunscreen’s Sun Protection Factor, or SPF, measures only UVB protection. An SPF 15 blocks 94% of UVB rays, SPF 30 blocks 97 percent and SPF 45 blocks 98 percent. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends sunscreens with an SPF of 30. Natural sunscreens use two active ingredients: titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, the latter of which can temporarily whiten skin. Both work by physically blocking the sun’s rays. Traditional sunscreens use chemicals such as oxybenzone and avobenzone to absorb ultraviolet rays and prevent them from causing damage. Avobenzone absorbs UVA; oxybenzone, UVB. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which oversees sunscreen labeling, will adopt new rules designed to give consumers better information about the effectiveness of over-the-counter sunscreens and, for the first time, UVA protection, in December.

TUESDAY, JUNE 12, 2012 PAGE 7C

Wife of terminally ill husband is determined for him to enjoy life now Dear Abby: My husband, who is 55, has been diagnosed with Pick’s disease, or frontotemporal dementia. His prognosis is from two to seven years — only God knows. We are handling this with better-than-average concern. It is his diabetes that everyone keeps going on about. He’s on medication and his diabetes is under control. My problem is, I let my husband eat whatever he wants within reason. If we’re out to dinner and he wants ice cream, or asks me to buy him his favorite lemon cookies, I don’t argue. When people tell me I shouldn’t do that, my husband replies that he is already dying, so why shouldn’t he

DEAR ABBY ADVICE enjoy his life now? He still enjoys baseball and taking our granddaughter to the zoo. He is still mobile and, in fact, has recently lost 45 pounds. People don’t understand his attitude, but he is right. He IS dying, and I am letting him enjoy his final years. Am I wrong for doing this? I want him to enjoy what he can now, as there will come a time when he can’t. — Loves Him in Nebraska Dear Loves Him: Please accept my sympathy for your husband’s diagnosis. As someone who also believes in

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

quality of life rather than quantity, I see nothing wrong in allowing him those pleasures he enjoys. For your husband, the countdown to zero has begun. You are both being rational and realistic. Clarify that fact for the naysayers or ignore them. Dear Abby: I am a woman who suffers from syncope. I become lightheaded whenever I must have blood drawn or a needle prick — it doesn’t matter which. My physician and her nurse always accommodate me by allowing me to lie down during these procedures, and consequently I have never fainted. However, if I go elsewhere for a procedure, as I recently did to a free medical screening, after telling the medical personnel about the syncope,

CRYPTOQUOTE

the reactions I typically receive range from a look like I have two heads to comments like: “Oh, this will be real quick; you won’t feel a thing,” “Don’t watch” or “Think of something else.” Well, I did experience an episode of syncope during that last screening, and it was very embarrassing. Why won’t medical personnel LISTEN to what a patient tells them? Who knows my body better than I do? — Synco-Peeved in the South Dear Synco-Peeved: Believe me, I empathize. However, free screenings can be as jam-packed as a casting call for “American Idol.” Overwhelmed medical personnel may not be able to accommodate someone who has special needs. That’s why it’s important when you hear comments such

as those you mentioned that you insist on being helped by someone who understands what the implications of syncope are. You may have to wait a bit longer, but it may prevent a blackout. Dear Abby: Should a mother call her son if he is a father to wish him a Happy Father’s Day? — Andrietta in New York Dear Andrietta: That would be a nice gesture. He qualifies. 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). The day unfolds at an excited pace. And though the lively feeling is exhilarating, you also are determined to move slowly and steadily along so you can savor each task and stay on purpose. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It’s better to deal with people who are not like you, as homogeny robs you of perspective. Those who have had fewer opportunities will help you to be grateful for the resources you have. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If you dare to follow your creative spirit, it will lead you to the most unlikely places. You’re not the only one developing a fascination for what is novel, oddball or just plain weird. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Success is not a meal to be gobbled up alone. It’s a banquet to be savored among guests. Invite others to share in the bounty you’ve acquired, because more is on the way. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You can afford to be somewhat whimsical with your choices, and you’ll enjoy the day a whole lot more if you are! Take a gamble. Win or lose, it won’t be held against you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Deal with life’s actual events instead of stressing about the possible scenarios that might happen. All you can do now is handle today’s work. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You cherish your friendships not only in your heart, but also through your deeds. Stay on the lookout for ways to lift and empower your loved ones, because ideas will cross your path.

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

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It used to be that people believed the answers were blowing in the wind. Some believe that the answers are now trending on Twitter or YouTube. Just to be safe, check everywhere. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When you share your honest appraisal of a situation, you do more good than you could possibly know. However, this is only the case if it’s your job to share the opinion or if you were asked to do so. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The general consensus may be generally erroneous. But you’ll make a decision based on your gut response to what’s happening, unfazed as to the popularity of the choice. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Not everyone wants to be famous. You’re proof of that now because you’d rather lock your information in a safe than put it out there for the whole world to electronically stumble upon. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You don’t have to struggle against your desire. Instead, embrace it. It’s not a foreign entity visiting to annoy you. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 12). Your kindness will inspire tolerance in others. World peace may just start with you. In June, you’ll collect the tools that will liberate you in your professional life. July brings a romantic connection that ignites your creativity. October is your chance to move or renovate. Libra and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 25, 22, 49 and 32.
