Elvis Riccardi is charged in Donald Skiff’s death.

WILKES-BARRE – On April 28, 2009, friends and family members of Donald Skiff reported the 34-year-old man missing. Less than 24 hours later, police found Skiff’s charred 2000 Ford Ranger in Plymouth Township, but were still unable to locate the Plymouth man.

Just over five weeks later, police were led to where they could find Skiff’s body by a man who later pleaded guilty and was sentenced to life in prison for Skiff’s death. Today, more than two years later, Elvis Riccardi, the second man charged in Skiff’s death, will face a jury of his peers and the possibility of the death penalty. The 33-year-old Wilkes-Barre man is sched-

Trial in local ’09 murder to begin

By JONATHAN RISKIND Times Leader Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON – You could almost hear the drum roll when the National Republican Congressional Committee announced June 1 that U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta of Hazleton is among 10 House Republicans initially included in the GOP’s 2012 election “Patriot Program.” The program Barletta is about “staying on offense by building strong and winning campaigns against Democrats and their agenda that bankrupts our nation,” announced Rep. Pete Sessions of Texas, chairman of the NRCC. “Lou Barletta has demonstrated the leadership and ability to wage an aggressive campaign based on rigorous goals and proven strategies for victory.” But Democrats began pounding their own drum and to a very different beat, proclaiming that Barletta’s inclusion in the Patriot Program was actually an admission by Republicans of just how vulnerable the freshman lawmaker is when he runs for reelection next year. Pennsylvania Democrats noted that three of the 10 Republicans on the list are from Pennsylvania: Barletta and reps. Pat Meehan and Mike Fitzpatrick. “It’s not a surprise that Washington Republicans are worried about these members,” charged Mark Nicastre, a spokesman for

Ever since gambling started in the nation’s second-largest casino market in 1978, Atlantic City has been torn over whether to market itself as a family resort, or as Sin City East. Guess which side is winning? “In our industry, the casino and entertainment and hospitality business, you want to provide things that are pleasing and exciting and fun,” said Dennis Gomes, co-owner of Resorts Hotel Casino. “One of the things that most people find pleasing, exciting and fun is sex.” His casino is testing the boundaries of Atlantic City, which for all its history as a bawdy vice destination at the turn of the century — See CASINOS, Page 14A

‘South Park’ creators’ work is best musical By MARK KENNEDY AP Drama Writer

NEW YORK — “The Book of Mormon” has won the Tony Award for best musical. A critical and box-office darling, the show was the favorite to take home the night’s biggest crown thanks to a story and song that both poked fun and honored Broadway’s history. About two Mormon missionaries who find more than they bargain for in Uganda, the musical was written by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of Comedy Central’s irreverent “South Park,” and Robert Lopez, co-creator of the equally irreverent Tony Awardwinning musical “Avenue Q.” It beat out “Catch Me If You Can,” “The Scottsboro Boys” and “Sister Act.” The profane and hysterical “The Book of Mormon” snagged honors for best book, best direction of a musical, best score, best featured actress and four technical awards. The ceremony also honored “War Horse” and “The Normal Heart” with best play and best play revival, respectively. Sutton Foster won for best actress in a musical and gave a tearful speech. “It doesn’t feel like a job,” she said of the Cole Porter musical “Anything Goes,” which won best musical revival and earned Kathleen Marshall an award for her choreography. Frances McDormand was declared the best leading actress in a play for playing a

‘Super 8’ tops box office list, but with not-so-super figures Film centers on teen filmmakers and alien entity that escapes from train By DAVID GERMAIN AP Movie Writer

LOS ANGELES — Hollywood’s summer box-office streak has cooled a bit with a $37 million opening weekend for J.J. Abrams and Steven Spielberg’s sci-fi tale “Super 8.” It was a healthy but unremarkable launch in a summer season whose newcomers often open with two or three times as much money. Released by Paramount Pictures, “Super 8” largely features a cast of young newcomers, the story centering on teen filmmakers and an alien entity that escapes from a wrecked train. “The movie was never conceived to be a blockbuster, tentpole film opening to $60 or $70 million,” said Don Harris, head of

distribution for Paramount. Writer-director Abrams ("Star Trek,” TV’s “Lost”) was inspired by his own youth as a Super 8 filmmaker who emulated such talents as Spielberg, a producer on “Super 8.” When the studio scheduled “Super 8” amid such known summer quantities as “Pirates of the Caribbean” and “Kung Fu Panda” sequels, “there was some concern we were sending a signal that it was a big summer blockbuster,” Harris said. “What we really wanted to do was find a place where the movie could open, find its audience and hopefully play for a long time.” “Super 8” bumped off the previous weekend’s No. 1 movie, 20th Century Fox’s comic-book prequel “X-Men: First Class,” which slipped to second-place with $25 million. “First Class” raised its domestic total to $98.9 million. After a string of blockbuster debuts in May and early June,

Hollywood’s overall revenues dipped for the first time in a month. Domestic receipts totaled $140 million, down 7.5 percent from the same weekend last year, when “The Karate Kid” led with $55.7 million, according to

box-office tracker Hollywood.com. The weekend’s other new wide release, Relativity Media’s family flick “Judy Moody and the NOT Bummer Summer,” opened weakly at No. 7 with $6.3 million.

www.timesleader.com

The movie follows a young girl’s wacky summer adventures. “Super 8” started with $1 million in sneak-peek screenings Thursday, giving it a domestic total of $38 million. The movie added $6.7 million in nine international markets, including $2.7 million in Australia. It expands to about15 more countries next weekend, among them Russia, Greece and Turkey. Two sequels passed the $200 million mark domestically this weekend. The Warner Bros. comedy “The Hangover Part II” came in at No. 3 with $18.5 million to become the year’s top-grossing domestic release at $216.6 million. Disney’s action tale “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” was No. 5 with $10.9 million, raising its domestic haul to $208.8 million. Both movies topped Universal’s “Fast Five,” which had been the year’s biggest moneymaker.

•Two players matched all five winning numbers drawn in Sunday’s “Pennsylvania Cash 5” game and will each receive $255,267.50. Lottery officials said 180 players matched four numbers and won $159 each; 5,682 players matched three numbers and won $8.50 each; and 59,000 players matched two numbers and won $1 each. •None of the tickets sold for the Powerball game Saturday evening matched all six numbers drawn, which were: 16-18-27-36-50 Powerball: 8 Power Play: 3 Players matching all five numbers and the Powerball would have won or shared the jackpot. The prize goes to an estimated $20 million for Wednesday. Tickets that match the first five numbers, but miss the Powerball, win $200,000 each, and there was one of those. They were sold in: New York(1).

This year, it plans to add 1,200 more to that total at the annual Fourth of July celebration at Kirby Park in WilkesBarre.

The Rev. Dan Toomey of Our Lady of Victory Church at Harveys Lake blesses watercraft as they drive by the dock on which he is standing Sunday afternoon.

Buoyed by blessings

By JERRY LYNOTT jlynott@timesleader.com

HARVEYS LAKE – In the 15 minutes the Rev. Dan Toomey stood on a dock Sunday afternoon, he blessed a few kayaks, a couple of motor boats and a half dozen mallards. The ducks paddled by after Toomey finished the Blessing of the Boats at the lake, and he gladly sprinkled the waterfowl with holy water. “Aw, God bless,” said Toomey as he dipped what looked like a whiskbroom in a plastic pitcher filled with holy water and shook it in the direction of the passing ducks. He and Dan Parise, a parishioner at Our Lady of Victory, brought a few pitchers to a dock not far from the Roman Catholic Church, expecting a

huge turnout. From an adjacent dock Helen Neylon, business manager of the church, took photos of the event that Parise said has been held since the early 1970s. “When we did this last year, there were people waiting,” said Toomey, recalling the first time he conducted the ceremony. Only about a dozen boaters showed up, however. Toomey, who also serves as pastor of Gate of Heaven Church in Dallas, surmised the NASCAR race at Pocono Raceway might have drawn away some boaters. “We didn’t see a lot of our normal parishioners on the weekend,” he said. Still he came prepared with a special prayer for the occasion, and with the

help of a megaphone shared it with the boaters: “At the beginning of creation, God created the water and the land … and saw that it was good. And on the seventh day he rested. May your days of rest and recreation of all who come here today, be blessed and be full of God’s love, grace and hope. May God bless all the captains and crews of these boats, bless all the passengers and families. May God bless and keep theses boats so that they are safe and seaworthy. May all the owners be graced with the skills and awareness to maintain and continue to restore these boats. Through this may God’s blessing keep and guide you.” See BLESSING, Page 14A

A cross-country trek supports books and bikes Wilkes-Barre men and two nephews combine periods of riding and reading. By GERI GIBBONS Times Leader Correspondent

Kevin Vrabel of WilkesBarre has always valued physical fitness and literacy. He also has been a man of his word. A 1984 graduate of Susquehanna University in Selinsgrove, where he played soccer, and the co-owner of Snowbird Softball, which runs softball tournaments in South Carolina, Vrabel has always exhibited a commitment to mentoring young people. On Memorial Day, he and his nephews, Jon Vrabel of Kingston, R.I., and Andy Underwood of Morgantown,

Beginning at the Venice Beach Fishing Pier, near Santa Monica, Calif., they planned to ride through California, Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia and then to Asbury Park, N.J. Titled “Bikes, Books and Better Living,” the adventure will combine periods of bike riding and reading in an effort to model healthy behaviors for young people. “This is a result of a promise that I made to my nephews a few years ago,” Vrabel said during an earlier interview, “when I promised them that upon their college graduation, that we would bike cross country.

They said 20-year-old Christopher Fitzpatrick of Lake Ariel told 20-yearold Jennifer Barrise that they couldn’t afford to keep the baby. District Attorney Michael Lehutsky said Barrise was also charged as an accomplice after the investigation disclosed that she knew the child would be killed. The defendants are charged with criminal homicide and concealing the death of a child. Fitzpatrick is also charged with abuse of a corpse. Both are being held in Wayne County Prison without bail.

A city man will be charged with theft of services for allegedly plugging a charger for his cell phone into an exterior outlet at the Uni-Mart on Hazle Avenue. Police said they determined Gary Greiss, 47, of McLean Street, did not have permission to use the outlet on Saturday afternoon. HAZLE TWP.

Cops: Man strikes trooper

State police said Dustin M. Ochs, 26, of White Haven, struck a trooper Saturday night and had to be subdued with a stun gun. While in the presence of two troopers on Pardeesville Road, Ochs made a statement about possibly having a concealed knife, state police said. As the troopers tried to search Ochs and place him in handcuffs, he pushed off from the police cruiser, spun around and struck Trooper Ryan Stefanick in the face, state police said. The other trooper used a stun gun on Ochs, who fell to the ground and was handcuffed. Stefanick was treated and released from Hazleton General Hospital for a laceration. Ochs was arraigned by District Judge Daniel O’Donnell on charges of aggravated assault, simple assault, resisting arrest and harassment. He was committed to the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $100,000 bail. ROSS TWP.

It’s a game of inches

Junrey Balawing smiles as he is measured by Guinness World Records adjudicator Craig Glenday in the Southern Philippines on Sunday, his 18th birthday. Balawing was officially declared ’the world’s shortest living man’ with a measurement of 23.5 inches, dislodging Nepal’s Khagendra Thapa Magar, who is 26.4 inches. SPRINGERVILLE, ARIZ.

7,000 evacuees return

oughly 7,000 residents of two eastern Arizona towns evacuated last R week as a wildfire loomed nearby were

allowed to return home Sunday as officials expressed confidence that they were making progress in their battle against the huge blaze that has been burning since May. “Fire officials feel confident that these areas are safe,” Apache County Sheriff’s Cmdr. Webb Hogle said, referring to the towns of Springerville and Eagar. Firefighters remained in both towns, mopping up hot spots and guarding again flare-ups. But Hogle said residents could begin returning home because the blaze was “no longer a threat to the citizens.”

MOSCOW

Opposition activists held

Russian police detained nearly 30 opposition activists Sunday to prevent them from demonstrating in central Moscow on a national holiday celebrating the country’s emergence as an independent state as the Soviet Union crumbled. This year the holiday, now called Russia Day, came exactly 20 years after Boris Yeltsin was first elected president of Russia when it was still part of the Soviet Union. Tens of thousands of people, most of them members of pro-Kremlin youth groups bused in from provincial towns, were expected on Red Square for a pop concert and fireworks display in the evening. Crowds gathered throughout the day. OMAHA, NEB.

Levees nearly completed

The scramble is nearly over to fill thousands of sandbags and construct last-minute levees to heights that haven’t been needed in decades, but those preparations were only the first round of what’s likely to be a summerlong battle against the bloated Missouri River. Peak flows are expected to arrive early in the week in riverfront communities in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers completes a gradual increase of releases from dams upstream. The surge through the lower half of the river this week will expose any weaknesses in the flood protections. The Corps said this summer’s Missouri River flooding could rival the record years of 1952 and 1993 in some places. MISRATA, LIBYA

Rebels battle along coast

From the east and west, working with NATO air strikes, resurgent rebels battled Libyan government forces on Sunday at flashpoints along the Mediterranean coast, rebel commanders reported. The government said their victory claims were “wishful reporting.” Insurgents had reported fighting street by street to retake the Mediterranean port city of Zawiya, 18 miles west of Tripoli, a prize that would put them within striking distance of the capital and cut off one of Moammar Gadhafi’s last supply routes from Tunisia. But government spokesman Moussa Ibrahim said late Sunday Gadhafi forces had driven off the attackers, and reporters taken to Zawiya saw secure streets and the green national flag flying over a central square.

HOUSTON — Images of a smiling Rep. Gabrielle Giffords were posted Sunday on her Facebook page, two photos that show her with shorter, darker hair but few signs that she suffered a gunshot wound to the head. The photos were taken May 17 outside the Houston rehabilitation facility where Giffords has been undergoing treatment since she was wounded five months ago at a meet-and-greet event with constituents. Six people died and a dozen others were hurt in the Jan. 8 attack in Tucson, Ariz. Since then, access to the Arizona congresswoman has been tightly controlled. Until Sunday, no clear images had been released. The only recent sign of Giffords came in late April, when grainy television footage showed her slowly ascending a flight of steps to a NASA plane that took her to Florida to watch her astronaut husband rocket into space. The image was so blurry that it was impossible to confirm it was Giffords until doctors did so at a news conference in mid-May. Giffords spokesman C.J. Karamargin said staff members released the photos Sunday to help satisfy “intense interest in the congresswoman’s appearance.” The timing coincides with plans to re-

lease Giffords from the hospital later this month or in early July. Her staff hopes the images will help curb unwanted photography when she begins visiting an outpatient clinic in a more public setting. “What we wanted to avoid was a paparazzi-like frenzy,” Karamargin said. The professionally shot pictures were taken before Giffords underwent surgery to replace a piece of her skull that had

been removed shortly after the shooting to allow her brain to swell. The images suggest the congresswoman is returning to her former appearance — though she still looks slightly different than before. But the photos give little indication of Giffords’ cognitive abilities — what, for example, her speech is like after being shot in the left side of the head, which controls communication.

Dems push Weiner to leave job More suggestive photos of embatted congressman appear on website TMZ.

By ANDREW MIGA Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The second-ranking House Democrat on Sunday joined the party leadership in urging Rep. Anthony Weiner to quit because of his sexting scandal, a request the New York lawmaker has sidestepped in favor of a temporary leave of absence. The Republican Party chairman criticized Democratic leaders for not taking a more forceful stand earlier on the affair, which has overshadowed much of the legislative business on Capitol Hill over the past week. Weiner has acknowledged exchanging messages and photos ranging from sexually suggestive to explicit with several women online, and the latest to surface appeared on the entertainment website TMZ. The photos posted Sunday were purportedly taken in the House members’ gym and show a shirt-less Weiner with a towel around his waist and his hand on his crotch. TMZ said the photos were sent online to at least one woman. Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland, the No. 2 House Democrat, spoke of Weiner’s “bizarre and unacceptable behavior” in texting inappropriate pictures of himself to young women. Hoyer said it would be “extraordinarily difficult” for Weiner to continue to represent his constituents effectively. Weiner announced Saturday that he was entering pro-

fessional treatment at an undisclosed location and wanted a leave of absence from Congress. A statement from an aide did not say where he would receive treatment or what type was involved. That announcement came

right after House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California and Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the national party head, said Weiner must go. Weiner said at news conference last Monday acknowl-

edged that he had lied in previously saying that he had not sent any photos. Pelosi immediately called for an ethics committee investigation. But it was not until the weekend that leaders said he should step down.

STRATHAM, N.H. — Mitt Romney’s political backyard is the most promising terrain in his second bid for the Republican presidential nomination. It’s also the most perilous. The former governor from neighboring Massachusetts has a vacation place in New Hampshire. He’s well known and well established here, and he’s putting more emphasis on Romney the Granite State, which INSIDE: •Obaholds the na- ma headed to tion’s first pri- Puerto Rico, mary, than he •Gingrich looks to jump-start did four years campaign ago. He’ll be in •Pawlenty Manchester for criticizes Roma seven-candi- ney, Page 8A date debate tonight. But the state’s proximity to Massachusetts is a two-edged sword. Voters know a lot about Romney’s health care program for Massachusetts, which included mandatory insurance coverage similar to President Barack Obama’s federal requirement that many conservatives detest. As a politician in liberal Massachusetts, Romney took stands now at odds with many GOP primary voters. If his rivals can cripple or weaken Romney in New Hampshire, they might be able to overcome his impressive fundraising and experience in later-voting states such as South Carolina and Florida, their thinking goes. “Romney is very strong in New Hampshire, and it’s his race to lose here and nationally,” said Jamie Burnett, a New Hampshire consultant who was Romney’s political director in the state four years ago. At the debate, it’s not hard to guess what line of attack the field will take on perceived front-runner. Romney’s rivals on Monday night will be U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota; businessman Herman Cain of Georgia; former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich of Georgia; U.S. Rep. Ron Paul of Texas; former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty; and former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania. They will call Romney the intellectual godfather of the Democrats’ national health care law. They may note that in transitioning from a Senate candidate and governor of liberal Massachusetts to a pursuer of the GOP presidential nomination, Romney has changed his views on abortion and gay rights.

Syria’s army seizes back town where soldiers and police mutinied By BASSEM MROUE Associated Press

BEIRUT — Elite Syrian troops backed by helicopters and tanks regained control Sunday of a town where police and soldiers joined forces with the protesters they were ordered to shoot — a decisive assault from a government prepared for an all-out battle to keep power. Troops led by the president’s brother shelled Jisr al-Shughour as the gunships hovered overhead, paving the way for scores of tanks and armored personnel carriers to roll in from two directions. By early afternoon, the sounds of battle faded. The army was in control. Sunday’s developments, and

actions by opponents of the Syrian government, marked a major departure from what had been a largely peaceful protest movement. Among them: the discovery of a mass grave filled with uniformed bodies and the increasing willingness of mutineers and outgunned residents to fight back. President Basher Assad’s response in Jisr al-Shughour, the first town to spin out of government control since the uprising began in mid-March, mirrored his father’s 1980 assault there. It was a clear message to anyone contemplating defiance. Syrians who were among thousands to flee for the nearby Turkish border said about 60 mutineers were defending the town alongside about 200 un-

armed residents. Their fate was unknown late Sunday, but the government reported three deaths in the fighting — one of its own soldiers and two unidentified men whose bodies were shown to reporters. “The Syrian army is fighting itself,” said Muhieddine Lathkani, a London-based Syrian writer and intellectual. “The army’s response was strong because they did not want the mutiny to become larger.” Neighboring Turkey, about 12 miles away, has given sanctuary to more than 5,000 fleeing Syrians, nearly all of them in the past few days from Idlib province. Turkey’s prime minister has accused the Assad regime of “savagery.”

Civil War balloon flight celebrated in D.C. In June 1861, President Lincoln was persuaded to use balloons to spy on Rebels.

By LYDIA MULVANY McClatchy Newspapers

WASHINGTON — The National Mall on Saturday was the place to be for Civil War balloon enthusiasts John DePerro, 68, and David DePerro, 39, of Warrenton, Va. The father and son have read all the books on Civil War ballooning, and on Saturday they came to see a partially inflated military balloon right outside the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. The balloon was

placed steps away from a refreshment stand, where famous Civil War balloonist Thaddeus Lowe originally showed President Abraham Lincoln how to use balloons for reconnaissance on June 18, 1861. He went up in a balloon and telegraphed reports to the White House. Lincoln was fascinated and gave the go-ahead to form the Union Balloon Corps. Actors in Civil War garb, representing the likes of Lincoln, Lowe and some Union Balloon Corps teamsters, mingled with visitors and talked about the history of ballooning. A small balloon hooked up to a camera took aerial pictures above the Mall. “This is a really cool event,”

John DePerro said. David DePerro even got his book on military ballooning signed by the author, Tom Crouch, a senior curator at the National Air and Space Museum. Crouch said the site was where American airpower began, and Civil War balloons are the direct ancestors of today’s Air Force. “It’s kind of neat that there’s a historic aerospace event right where the museum is,” Crouch said. “It’s right in our back yard.” Union soldiers ascended about 3,000 times in seven balloons during the Civil War. In Iraq and Afghanistan East today, tethered balloons are still sent up with sensors and communication gear by U.S. troops, Crouch said.

Kevin Knapp portrays Thaddeus Lowe, who, In June 1861, flew 500 feet high on the National Mall in a gas-filled balloon to show President Abraham Lincoln how balloons could be used to spy on the Confederates.

Phil Gibbons, 43, of Linden, Va., was dressed as a Union soldier. He brought authentic wagons that were built from Army blueprints. They carried authentic blue wooden boxes used to produce hydrogen for the balloons by mixing sulfuric acid with iron filings. Hubert Jewell, 87, of Locust Grove, Va., demonstrated in front of the balloon how telegraphing worked. He worked as a telegrapher for the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad when he was a 17-year-old senior in high school, he said. Currently, he’s part of the Washington-Baltimore Chapter of the Morse Club, and he says he’s just trying to keep telegraphing alive.

Detroit Catholic clergymen Chile volcano ash grounds overseas flights attend controversial Mass The Associated Press

Group participates despite letter from archbishop ordering them to stay away.

By NIRAJ WARIKOO Detroit Free Press

DETROIT—Defying the Roman Catholic archbishop of Detroit, a priest led a Mass Sunday organized by the American Catholic Council, a controversial umbrella group of liberal Catholics. And dozens of Catholic priests and deacons from the Detroit diocese attended the Mass, said organizers. They participated despite a letter from Archbishop Allen Vigneron ordering priests and deacons to not take part in the Mass because it was led by groups considered heretical by the Catholic Church and could violate Church law. Vigneron warned in a letter that clergy could be punished and defrocked for participating. The Rev. Robert Wurm, 78, a retired priest, presided over the Mass to about some 1,500 assembled at Cobo Center. Wurm said

afterward he was aware that Vigneron had explicitly warned all priests and deacons to not participate. But he said he’s not worried about being punished. "I don’t see that happening," Wurm said. "I’m older than he is. ... He was making a big mistake," Wurm said. A spokesman for Vigneron could not be reached for comment. The Mass was part of a weekend conference of about 2,000 liberal Catholics who are upset at the rightward turn of the Catholic Church. They want lay people to have more say in church decision-making. Many also want discussion about women, gay and married priests, and more accountability on the issue of child abuse by priests. "Too many Catholics feel there is no hope," co-organizer Janet Hauter said during the Mass.. Members of the crowd at the Mass wore stoles, usually worn only by clergy, to symbolize equality and the idea that all Catholics, not just its leaders, represent the church.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand — Thousands of passengers in Australia and New Zealand were affected when airlines suspended flights Sunday as an ash cloud from an erupting volcano in southern Chile spread, threatening to damage engines. Australia’s national carrier, Qantas Airways, said all the airline’s flights in and out of the southeastern city of Melbourne would be grounded. Qantas also canceled 22 flights to and from New Zealand and the Australian islandstate of Tasmania, as well as eight flights within New Zealand’s South Island, as the dust cloud from Chile’s erupting Cordon Caulle volcano spread across the atmosphere. About 8,000 people would be affected by the cancellations, a Qantas spokeswoman said. Virgin Australia later announced it was suspending 34 domestic flights and one international one from Melbourne on Sunday evening. “We have been closely monitoring the situation all day,” Virgin’s Sean Donohue said in a

statement. “Safety is always our number one priority.” Australian budget carrier Jetstar said it canceled domestic flights to New Zealand’s South Island airports. National carrier Air New Zealand did not cancel or delay any flights but has adjusted

flight routes and altitudes to ensure aircraft remain clear of any ash, company spokeswoman Tracy Mills said. The drifting clouds of fine grit can severely damage airplane engines. New Zealand’s Civil Aviation Authority said the ash plumes

could affect airplane cruising levels for both jet and turboprop aircraft at between 20,000 and 35,000 feet. The agency said the ash would likely disrupt flights for the next week. The volcano in Chile began erupting on June 4.

Crowd fights for Anthony trial seat Some persons have arrived as early as 1 a.m. to attend the child murder trial in Florida. By MIKE SCHNEIDER Associated Press

ORLANDO, Fla. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Spectators trying to get one of the 60 courtroom seats available to the public in the Casey Anthony trial have created scenes reminiscent of the running of the bulls in Spain or a Walmart on the Friday after Thanksgiving. Those who have arrived as early as 1 a.m. to wait for a seat in the trial of the Florida mother charged with killing her 2-yearold daughter Caylee have been jostled, elbowed and pushed aside by fellow spectators while running from the sidewalk to the Orange County Courthouse entrance before dawn. They arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allowed to camp out on courthouse property, so they hang out on the sidewalk in front of the 23story building until they are allowed to line up at the entrance at 5:30 a.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a mad stampede of angry people,â&#x20AC;? said Natalie Sutton, 22, a Walt Disney World worker who skipped sleep and arrived at 3:15 a.m. Friday to line up for a coveted seat. People then wait until less than an hour before the daily hearing starts at 9 a.m., when the first 60 are given white tickets allowing them to sit in the courtroom all day. Those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t return after lunch are replaced by afternoon spectators who wait in line during the morning beside a stanchion outside.

Reporters and spectators listen to opening arguments on the first day of the Casey Anthony murder trial in Orlando, Fla.

The dash from the sidewalk â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the ensuing wait â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is not always orderly. The horde became even more intense than usual Friday, when a woman fell during the dash to the entrance and later had to be treated by paramedics. A few spectators tried to help her, but others raced past. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was like The Who in Cincinnati,â&#x20AC;? said spectator Shawn Chaisson, referring to 11 fans who were crushed to death during a stampede at one of the rock bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concerts in 1979. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was totally out of control.â&#x20AC;? The waiting crowd was then thrown into a tizzy after three women cut in front of dozens of others who had been waiting several hours longer. Some spectators called the women nasty names and others started a chant of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Get out of line!â&#x20AC;? Hapless security guards called police officers, who asked the ladies to leave. The women com-

plied, and the line-waiters cheered and clapped, witnesses said. People were so angry at the women, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we thought there was going to be a lynching,â&#x20AC;? said Brian Maher, 49, who had attended eight days of testimony as of Friday. Some spectators, like Maher, have watched the trial live for entertainment value. Maher is recovering from a neck injury from his job as a long-distance mover, and he wears a brace. He wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to go back to work for six months and is passing the time at the trial. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I beat up my TV and got tired of being at home,â&#x20AC;? he said. Sutton, who was on her second day of attending the trial, said she was fascinated by forensic evidence and learning how the justice system works. During Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wait in line, she said, two women offered other spectators $100 for their spots.

Polly Wilson, a teacher on summer break, showed up for the trial Thursday with a friend on a lark but found it so transfixing she was back in line waiting to get a seat Friday afternoon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was so riveting â&#x20AC;&#x201D; better than on TV,â&#x20AC;? said Wilson, 42. Orlando residents have been vested in the case since July 2008, when Caylee was reported missing. Hundreds of volunteers scoured central Florida for traces of the toddler, and her disappearance dominated the local news. Cayleeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skeletal remains were found almost six months later in woods near the home she shared with her grandparents and mother. Casey Anthony was charged with first-degree murder in her daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death and could face the death penalty if convicted. She has pleaded not guilty, and her defense attorney said in opening statements that Caylee died in an accidental drowning in the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s swimming pool. Interest in the trial has been fanned by the gavel-to-gavel coverage local television stations have been giving it at the expense of their usual daytime programming. Court spokeswoman Karen Levey said officials were in the process of coming up with another solution for distributing tickets after Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fracas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have thought of everything â&#x20AC;&#x201D; lotteries â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and every idea sort of has a fly in the ointment,â&#x20AC;? Levey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t surprised about the interest, because we all knew there was interest in the case. I just thought that people would prefer to stay home. Clearly, that is not the case.â&#x20AC;?

Study: Stomach stapling doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t extend menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives

Previous findings had found improved survival rates after two to 10 years. By CARLA K. JOHNSON AP Medical Writer

CHICAGO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Very obese older men hoping to live longer may be let down by a new longterm study that found weightloss surgery didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t increase survival for people like them â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at least during the first seven years. Prior studies have found stomach stapling and other obesity surgeries improved survival rates after two to 10 years. The new study in mostly older male veterans suggests one of two things: Not everyone gains equally from surgery, or a survival benefit may show up later in older men, after more years of follow-up. Previous findings came mainly from studies of mostly younger women. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nearly all prior studies have found bariatric surgery to be associated with reduced mortality. But those studies were conducted on very different patient populations using less rigorous methods,â&#x20AC;? said lead author Matthew Maciejewski of the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Durham, N.C. The patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; organ damage from obesity could have been too far along for weight loss surgery to reverse it, some experts said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It may be too little too late,â&#x20AC;?

said Dr. Philip Schauer of Cleveland Clinicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bariatric and Metabolic Institute. He was not involved in the study. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You may have to intervene earlier for a survival benefit.â&#x20AC;? Evidence has been mounting for the health benefits of obesity surgery, so the new results may surprise some people. U.S. doctors now perform more than 200,000 obesity surgeries a year at an estimated cost of $3 billion to $5 billion. Schauer said a definitive study on survival could cost $200 million. The new study, released Sunday to coincide with a medical meeting, will appear in Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Journal of the American Medical Association. Benefits of obesity surgery â&#x20AC;&#x201D; improved quality of life, weight loss and reductions in diabetes symptoms, blood pressure and sleep apnea â&#x20AC;&#x201D; may be reason enough to choose the treatment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These results are not an indictment of surgery,â&#x20AC;? Maciejewski said. He and his colleagues plan to follow the patients longer to see if a survival benefit shows up 10 to 14 years after surgery. The study, while rigorous, wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the gold standard where people are randomly assigned to have one treatment or another. Instead, researchers compared nearly 850 patients who had surgery in Veterans Affairs hospitals with other obese veterans.

Gingrich looks to get restarted

He was to give foreign policy speech Sunday before the Republican Jewish Coalition. By SHANNON McCAFFREY Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Just days after his top staff resigned en masse, Newt Gingrich on Sunday sought to reboot his troubled presidential bid with a foreign policy speech accusing the Obama administration of placing “political correctness above common sense” in its dealings on the world stage. The address before the Republican Jewish Coalition, scheduled for Sunday night in Beverly Hills, will be Gingrich’s first since he was rocked by the sudden exodus of 16 senior strategists and advisers. They bolted Thursday less than a month after his White House campaign was formally launched. Pledging to soldier on, Gingrich vowed to start fresh in Los Angeles, where he said his campaign “begins anew.” In remarks prepared for delivery and provided to The Associated Press, Gingrich makes only a passing reference to the upheaval, vowing to carry his message of renewal around the country “no matter what it takes.” The West Coast speech had been planned well before the Gingrich campaign imploded. But as the former House Speaker scrambles to prove he remains a viable contender, the appearance allows him to showcase the two strongest sides of his personality: policy heavyweight and verbal

bomb thrower. Gingrich argues that “both Israel and America are at a dangerous crossroads at which the survival of Israel and the safety of the United States both hang in the balance.” Gingrich was also set to deliver red meat to the pro-Israel audience. He will pledge that, if elected president, he would sign an executive order on his first day in office moving the American embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv. Palestinians contend moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem would be recognition of Israel’s claim to the city. Gingrich argues that Israel has every right as a sovereign nation to choose its own capital and Americans should respect that choice. In the remarks, Gingrich says his decades in public life mean that he’s familiar with the rigors of the campaign trail. Still, even for the veteran politician, the path forward is challenging. Gingrich must replace the core of his campaign infrastructure — a daunting task, especially after telegraphing to would-be staffers that he’s difficult to manage. And with the GOP race still taking shape, Republican donors will be less than enthusiastic about writing checks to a campaign in disarray. Gingrich heads to New Hampshire for a debate tonight among Republican White House hopefuls, the first in which top-tier GOP contenders like former Govs. Mitt Romney of Massachusetts and Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota

Gingrich vows to carry his message of renewal around the country “no matter what it takes.”

will participate. Also today, Gingrich’s new book “A Country Like No Other” is set to hit bookstores. It’s the 24th book for the prolific Gingrich, who has also been making political documentaries with his wife, Callista, since resigning as House speaker

in 1999. He’ll be screening one of those documentaries before tea party crowds in Philadelphia and Savannah, Ga., in coming days as he tries to craft what he describes as a citizen-driven campaign, heavy on new media and other nontraditional events. It was, in part, deep disagreement over that strategy that prompted top Gingrich staffers and operatives on the ground in the early-voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina to step down. His aides had been urging Gingrich to hew to a more traditional campaign schedule of grassroots events in states like Iowa, where voters are accustomed to spending time with candidates in advance of the first-in-the-nation caucuses. Departing aides cited deep differences over strategy and questioned whether Gingrich is committed to spending enough time on the road in key states to win.

Pawlenty criticizes insurance mandate GOP presidential candidate takes issue with requiring purchase of health coverage.

Pawlenty asked “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace whether O’Reilly was “playing the race card on me.” Wallace said he thought O’Reilly was discussing “the taste, not the color.” Then the former Minnesota governor said he had a strong record in running a state, but that “being strong is not the same as being loud.” And Pawlenty said that “if you want the clown in chief, vote for somebody else. That’s not me.”

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Republican presidential candidate Tim Pawlenty said Sunday he would never support requiring everyone to buy health insurance, taking issue with the health care changes that 2012 rival Mitt Romney oversaw as Massachusetts governor. Pawlenty discounted Romney’s argument that, while the federal government went too far in requiring individuals to buy insurance under President Barack Obama’s health care law, it was appropriate for states to decide if individual mandates were right for them. “I strongly oppose the individual mandate at any level,” Pawlenty said. “I think it’s a dramatic overreach.” He noted that he was party to a lawsuit in Florida trying to get the law declared unconstitutional. Elbowing Romney ahead of a candidates’ debate tonight in New Hampshire, Pawlenty said Obama had stated that “he designed Obamacare after Romneycare and basically made it Obamneycare.” He added: “What I don’t understand is they both continue to defend it.” Pawlenty said that as governor of Minnesota he had rejected the individual mandate idea

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Cheering crowds in the steamy tropical heat are expected Tuesday when President Barack Obama makes a rare presidential visit to Puerto Rico. But the nearly 4 million U.S. citizens who live on the island and can’t vote in the general election aren’t really the point. Organizers are hoping this trip, the first in decades by a president to the U.S. Caribbean territory, will generate good will on the mainland, particularly in Florida, where the fast-growing Hispanic population will be essential to Obama’s re-election effort in 2012. “The past decade has witnessed a staggering growth in the Puerto Rican community,” said Andres W. Lopez, a member of the Democratic Central Committee who helped organize the visit. “They have become the quintessential battleground community in the nation’s battleground state.” There are almost a million more Puerto Ricans on the mainland than on the island. They long had been concentrated in the Northeast, but the 2010 census shows that Florida is in second place, with about 841,000, mostly in the Orlando area. These transplants tend to be younger and more educated than their counterparts in established communities in places such as Hartford, Conn., and New York. As more recent arrivals they also tend to have closer ties to family back home. Democrats see the Puerto Ricans in Florida as a potential counterbalance to the larger, traditionally Republican Cuban-American community in a state Obama needs badly to win a second term. That’s where this trip comes in. “I am sure they will be happy about this,” said Pedro Pierlui-

si, the island’s nonvoting representative in Congress, who has been working to generate for support for Obama on the mainland. “We have lots of Puerto Ricans in central Florida and I know they keep close eyes on Puerto Rico.” Reaching out to Puerto Ricans is part of a broader effort to court Hispanics, who accounted for more than half the U.S. population increase over the past decade and now number about 50 million. It’s hardly a uniform community, but there are “shared issues” of concern that include support for education, and social services, said Louis DeSipio, a professor at the University of California, Irvine. The number of people of Puerto Rican descent, the second largest Hispanic group in the U.S. after Mexicans, grew by 36 percent over the past decade to 4.6 million, according the census.

The island’s population fell by 2 percent during that time as people fled a dismal economy. Puerto Ricans tend to be less interested in immigration overhaul because they are U.S. citizens and can move freely back and forth between the island and the mainland, but as migrants who often need to learn to speak English and face other challenges they have similar experiences, said DeSipio, chairman of Chicano-Latino Studies at the California school. “To the extent that the president talks about issues of bringing Puerto Ricans into the U.S. mainstream that will certainly resonate with other Latino communities and immigrant communities generally,” he said. Obama is also expected to draw attention to the $7 billion in stimulus money that went to Puerto Rico.

ugustus “Gus” Frank Di Stadio A Sr., 71, a well-known, local businessman of Tunkhannock, passed

away early Friday morning, June 10, 2011, at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Md. He was born August 7, 1939, in Mt. Vernon, N.Y., a son of the late Margaret Tucci and Dominic Di Stadio. Gus graduated from Mt. St. Michael Academy, Bronx, N.Y., class of 1957, and served in the Marine Corps, Paris Island. He was an entrepreneurial and held several positions prior to becoming a local business owner. Gus was a musician, and had his own band known as Frank August, and performed in country clubs throughout New York; accountant, Humble Oil Company, Pelham, N.Y.; chief business manager and accountant, WNEP-TV, Channel 16, Scranton; he established D’s Delicatessen in 1972, and currently owns Jewelry World, opened in 1988. He was a member of Nativity BVM Church. Gus was married at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church, Mt. Vernon, N.Y., on July 29, 1962, and is survived by his wife of 49 years, Susan Remesic Di Stadio; sons, Michael and Augustus Jr., Tunkhannock; daughters, Christine, Houston, Texas; Regina, Weehawken, N.J.; and Julie Ann and son-in-law Thomas Gorman, Lancaster, Pa.; four grandchildren, Caroline, Olivia, Julia and Patrick; sister, Jodie Bouvier, Westwood, N.J.; and brothers-in-law, Paul Remesic, Greenwich, Conn., and Steven Remesic, Virginia Beach, Va. Gus was known for his big heart, compassion and generous soul, helping many who needed it and being a friend to everyone he met. Most important, Gus cherished and loved his family above all else. He was a devoted husband, father and “Pappy,” and could never do enough for them. He was happiest when surrounded by his family who meant everything to him. He loved his Catholic faith and Nativity BVM Church, and prayed

the Rosary every day. Gus’ happiest moments included family vacations at the beach, holidays and big family dinners around the dining room table, where there was much laughter and storytelling. He was a friend to all and cared for many people in the community. Gus’ passing has created a gaping hole that can never be filled because there was only one “Gus.” Over the years, Gus quietly supported local organizations and people; he truly cared for his customers, friends and will be missed by many. Gus was taken very quickly after his unexpected terminal diagnosis on April 1. He was the most wonderful and irreplaceable husband, greatest father and “Pappy” in the world. Relatives and friends are invited to attend a Mass of Christian Burial at 10 a.m. Friday from the Nativity BVM Church, 99 E. Tioga St., Route 6, Tunkhannock. The family will receive friends from 4 to 8 p.m. Thursday, at the Sheldon-Kukuchka Funeral Home Inc., 73 W. Tioga St., Tunkhannock. Following Mass, Gus will be laid to rest in Sunnyside Cemetery, Tunkhannock. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in his name to Nativity BVM Church, Tunkhannock Community Ambulance or Triton Hose Company, Tunkhannock.

Economic transformation of small community of Cotulla attributed to hydraulic fracturing for shale oil

Sleepy Texas town owes new boom to fracking COTULLA, Texas — Bill Cotulla’s hand rests on the handle of his great-grandfather’s cane, his gravelly voice recounting the changes in the small town his ancestor founded and named for himself some 130 years ago. Almost overnight, it has transformed from a South Texas backwater to the hub of a major oil boom. “You can’t be choosy,” the 75year-old muses, considering the expanse of new RV parks, hotels and restaurants. “The oil companies that are putting up buildings are keeping nice yards.” For generations, Cotulla has been a town where even the paved roads had the aura of the dusty, saloon-lined paths from old Western movies. Cowboys, ranchers and shop owners tied their livelihood to the hunting season. Young people left to escape double-digit unemployment and poverty rates. Now, the challenge is all the people pouring in. Cotulla, about 90 miles south of San Antonio, and nearby towns are rushing to house hundreds of workers and approve plans for apartment complexes and industrial parks to keep up with the development of the Eagle Ford shale formation, one of the most plentiful new oil fields in the country. After several years of preliminary work, the project is fully under way and sales tax revenues are soaring. Municipalities are paving roads, laying water lines and creating parks while trying to avoid being overextended when the boom tapers off. “There’s still more people coming,” said Jerry Cox, owner of JJ’s Country Store, a restaurant and convenience store on the main highway that runs through the town. “It’s like Davy Crockett at

the Alamo. You gotta think, are they ever going to stop coming?” he added, referring to the onslaught of Mexican solJill Martin diers who overStore owner whelmed the fort. The economic transformation is the result of a new drilling method, hydraulic fracturing, combined with horizontal drilling, that allows companies to extract oil and gas from impermeable layers of shale. Major industry players have joined the Eagle Ford project, including Anadarko, Range Resources and Shell. Chesapeake Energy of Oklahoma City signed a multi-billion dollar deal with the Chinese state-owned oil company to raise cash to drill in the shale. No solid estimate of likely production has been made, but the American Petroleum Institute said the field should yield billions of barrels of oil. The project already supports 12,600 fulltime jobs, and by 2020 could account for $11.6 billion and nearly 68,000 jobs in a 24-county area, according to study in February by the University of Texas’ Center for Community and Business Research. Initially, some residents were skeptical about the windfall. In this barren land of mesquite trees, cactus bushes, rattlesnakes, feral hogs, coyotes and bobcats, oil booms— the real ones— always happened elsewhere. But the fat bonus checks and royalties rolling in to mineral rights’ owners have changed attitudes. Cox renovated the kitchen in his restaurant and put down new flooring. He desperately wants to hire at least six people. A friend

Larry Dovalina, interim city administrator of Cotulla, home to barely 3,500 people, said new requests for water and sewer services are coming in daily. The power system is overburdened. Sales tax revenue rose from $445,000 in 2009 to more than $600,000 last year. Some residents, like Mariane Hall, manager of the Cotulla Chamber of Commerce, are worried about possible side effects from the boom, especially ground

water contamination. The development uses a technique known as fracking, which injects chemical-laced water into the shale to push out the minerals. Environmental groups and the Environmental Protection Agency have expressed concerns about the method. But the industry insists it is safe, and residents generally say they’ll rely on federal and state agencies to enforce environmental regulations and provide oversight. Similar booms have happened in other shale regions — most notably Pennsylvania, North Dakota, Wyoming and Montana. In the places with mostly natural gas, however, production is slowing as

Abortion debate revived in Capitol Abortion rights advocates upset by moves in the GOP-led state legislature. The Associated Press

HARRISBURG â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Abortion legislation has not been frontand-center in Harrisburg for decades, but that has changed with a series of three recent votes, and a fourth expected in the coming week. The push in the Republicancontrolled Legislature has abortion rights advocates warning it is part of a coordinated attack on legalized abortion across the country, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported Sunday. The debate in the Capitol comes in the wake of a grand juryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report this year about unsanitary and allegedly criminal conditions inside a west Philadelphia abortion clinic. The clinic had not been inspected by state regulators for 17 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we feared would happen, did,â&#x20AC;? said Dayle Steinberg, president of Southeastern Pennsylvania Planned Parenthood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those who oppose abortion have given up on Roe, so they whittle away at freedoms granted under Roe by taking it to the

states.â&#x20AC;? A think tank that studies reproductive health issues told the paper that 70 abortion restrictions have been enacted in the United States this year. The Pennsylvania Family Institute has rallied its members to support a bill sponsored by Sen. Bob Mensch, R-Montgomery, imposing stricter regulations on Pennsylvania abortion clinics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We care about all life,â&#x20AC;? said the instituteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president, Michael Geer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want the women going in to be harmed, even if one life is definitely at risk.â&#x20AC;? In the state House, a bill sponsored by Rep. Matt Baker, RBradford, would subject all freestanding abortion clinics in the state to the same standards required of ambulatory surgical facilities. A final vote on a similar Senate bill is expected in the coming week. Requiring some existing clinics to expand or retrofit and add staff are new costs that could result in closures. Steinberg said that after a similar law was adopted in Texas, 18 of 20 clinics went out of business. Mensch told the paper he has not seen evidence to back up the threat.

Possible tornado near Harrisburg The Associated Press

ANNVILLEâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; A line of strong thunderstorms moved through south-central and eastern Pennsylvania on Saturday night, and the National Weather Service said it will investigate a report of a tornado east of Harrisburg. The storms also caused a hospital near Reading to lose power for about 45 minutes, the Reading Eagle reported. Weather service meteorologist Charles Ross in State College said a weather spotter reported that a possible tornado touched down in North Annville Township before 8 p.m. The township is about 20 miles east of Harrisburg.

Ross said there were multiple reports of debris scattered in the area, but there was no information on whether anyone was injured in the storm. Weather service officials will likely survey the area Sunday to confirm whether a tornado hit, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do know there was plenty of severe weather going through,â&#x20AC;? he said. Trees, poles and wires were downed in various parts of Lebanon County, the Lebanon Daily News reported. Electric company Met-Ed reported that hundreds of customers were without power in the Lebanon and Reading areas.

WORLD OPINION

Diplomatic skills needed to bring about Gulf peace

HE PERSONAL cost of tyranny in the Arab world is rising. Zine alAbidine Ben Ali escaped from Tunisia to Saudi Arabia, Hosni Mubarak of Egypt is to stand trial for murder and corruption, and now Ali Abdullah Saleh of Yemen has been evacuated to Riyadh with burns and a shrapnel wound. In each case, the president, once supported by the West as a stabilizing factor, resisted the demands of protesters and became a liability. Saleh, who repeatedly equivocated over a peace plan proposed by the Gulf Cooperation Council, had long passed that point. Instead of the “honorable exit” which he said he sought, he has suffered the humiliation of being injured in a rocket attack on his palace in Sana’a and forced to seek medical treatment abroad. Saudi Arabia is most immediately threatened by Yemen’s descent toward civil war. With Saleh out of the way, we hope permanently, the prospects for

the GCC plan have improved. But success will require persistent pressure. Saudi Arabia, Yemen’s main source of aid, is best placed to find a way out of this chaos. In the eastern Mediterranean, the Turks could likewise play a key role in resolving the impasse in Syria, where Bashar al-Assad’s murderous regime continues to fire on protesters. In each region, removal of the dictator calls for the diplomatic skills of the dominant power, whether Saudi Arabia or Turkey. Moreover, the outcome of the West’s intervention in Libya remains far from certain, while the advent of some sort of democracy in Egypt is turning into a nightmarish prospect for that country’s Christians. The term “Arab spring” might have passed into the language, but it is increasingly being used ironically, and that is not a good sign. The Telegraph, London

QUOTE OF THE DAY “Where I come from in Mississippi, they call this walking in high cotton.” Morgan Freeman The actor who appeared in films such as “Driving Miss Daisy” and “Glory” recently accepted the American Film Institute’s Life Achievement Award. The AFI ceremony is scheduled to air Sunday as a special on TV Land.

Yemen must be cautious

HERE WAS MUCH rejoicing in Yemen over the departure of Ali Abdullah Saleh, but the shelling and clashes that left more dead also signal that Saleh’s exit marks the beginning of a new phase that presents as much danger as the battle to remove the president. Yemeni regime sources tried to spin Saleh’s trip to Saudi Arabia as a temporary visit, but all indications point to this dictator having served his last day in office. The Saudis, after months of trying to ease Saleh out through three failed deals to transfer power, will certainly exert more efforts to keep him from returning to Sanaa. While the disgraced ruler might be out of the equation –

and that is cause for joy – a broad consensus existed that he must go, so now a whole host of conflicting interests must be confronted. The question is whether the people of Yemen, who demonstrated such admirable courage and restraint in demonstrating for months largely unarmed against a brutal and unscrupulous regime, can forge a new, democratic regime and will not let tribal animosities plunge the country into civil war. Regional and world powers will be paying close attention to Yemen – with so much of the world’s oil supply passing through the Red Sea – but they must proceed carefully. The Daily Star, Beirut

IMF looks beyond Europe

HE CANDIDACY of Bank of Mexico Governor Agustin Carstens as director of the International Monetary Fund should be taken seriously, even though the front-runner, French Finance Minister Christine Lagarde, is widely expected to win. Since the now 187-nation IMF was established in1944, its leader always has been a European, and this monopoly is no longer acceptable. The pressure to reform the IMF has

gained momentum, following the unexpected departure of Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who was forced to resign after being charged with sexually assaulting a hotel chambermaid. Developing countries are lobbying for someone from their ranks in recognition of the increasingly important role countries such as Brazil, Russia, India and China play in the global economy. They are right; it is time to look beyond Europe. The Globe and Mail, Toronto

There should be no check in mail for Postal Service NEITHER SNOW nor rain nor gloom of night stays the U.S. Postal Service from its appointed rounds, as long as it gets a giant bailout. Largely reduced to a delivery service for subsidized junk mail, crippled by sweetheart deals with its labor unions, the Postal Service is a good candidate for the dead-letter box. Instead, its managers are frantically lobbying for a federal bailout nearly twice the size of the one General Motors got. Make that two bailouts. The Postal Service is not only trying to sneak a direct $75 billion payment out of the government without congressional approval, it’s also asking to be let off the hook for a $5.5 billion payment into a trust fund to guarantee the absurdly generous pension benefits it has promised its retirees. When the Postal Service can’t pay those benefits a few years down the line, who do you think will get the bill? Hint: Look in the mirror. Adding $75 billion (plus who knows how much later when the Postal Service pensions implode) to the federal deficit at a time when federal debt is already bigger than half the entire output of the U.S. economy is a bad enough idea on its own terms. But it’s even worse in the precedent it sets for using vast sums of taxpayer dollars to preserve industries being swept into the dustbin of history by technological change. That’s the fundamental problem for the Postal Service. It’s wedded to a dying ink-onpaper technology in an electronic world.

his is a response to an article written about local craftsman Tony Bonczewski, of Jordan Shoe Repair. I have had the privilege to use his services and have found them to be above and beyond in his efforts to make what some people think should be thrown away into a workable and functional item. I don’t believe our younger children even know that shoes can be repaired, and that is a shame. This man is truly interesting, and as The Times Leader’s article related, his equipment is unfortunately becoming a thing of the past. As a child, I remember Jordan Shoe and also remember, because I worked near him, Klein Shoe repair on South Washington Street – with his five-seat shoeshine area and the large machines, many with leather belt drives. The smell is something I will always remember. In our area, these true craftsmen are going to be a thing of the past, and it surely will be our loss. Thank you, Tony, and others in your

people in the May primary. Since my top priority is to assist in selecting the right person to serve as county manager, I always believed we should “forgo parochial interests and search nationwide for the most experienced, talented and independent executive of integrity that we can find.” However, not mentioned in the column is that a transition team is starting the recruitment process and might have county manager candidates for the new council to consider, or the new council can reject the process totally. Also, the council members elected in November will become part of the transition team until taking office in January 2012. At this point the transition team will be dissolved. Lastly, I thank the voters of Luzerne County for putting their trust in my nomination as one of the 22 candidates, or more, competing for the 11 county council seats.

RICCARDI Continued from Page 1A

to sentence Riccardi to life in prison. Early last week, Senior Judge Joseph Augello rejected Riccardi’s attorneys’ claim that their client was mentally retarded and therefore, because of state law, could not be put to death. The ruling was the last leg of pre-trial matters before Riccardi’s trial was to begin. Augello had also previously ruled that statements Riccardi allegedly made to investigators

about Skiff’s death could not be used at the time of his trial. Those statements include a conversation Riccardi had with police after suffering a self-inflicted slash to his throat. During an investigation, state police Trooper Stephen Polishan encountered Riccardi outside the Family Dollar in WilkesBarre on May 1, 2009. Polishan testified at a pre-trial hearing that Riccardi slit his own throat and ran through a parking lot, where he ran into a vehicle and was tackled by Polishan. Paramedics asked state police to ride with Riccardi in the ambulance to Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center. On the

way, Riccardi answered Polishan’s questions about Skiff and his whereabouts on April 27, 2009. Augello ruled any statements Riccardi made during the transport are inadmissible because Riccardi did not waive his right to remain silent. Riccardi’s statements after his release from the hospital can be used, Augello ruled, because Riccardi asked to speak and voluntarily spoke to investigators. In August, Riccardi’s co-defendant, Michael Simonson, 34, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in Skiff’s death and was immediately sentenced to life in prison. Simonson is not required to testify against Riccardi as part

of his plea agreement. According to arrest records, Skiff was fishing with friends in Shickshinny and was kidnapped by Simonson and Riccardi. Skiff was beaten in his Ford Ranger pickup and taken to two credit unions in Plains Township, where Simonson and Riccardi used a bank card to withdraw money from Skiff’s account on April 27 and early in the morning on April 28. Skiff was driven to a secluded area off Suscon Road, Jenkins Township, where he was killed. Simonson led investigators to Skiff’s body on June 4, 2009.

witness the HBO hit series “Boardwalk Empire” about crooked politicians, brothels and speakeasies — has been rather tame when it comes to sex as a marketing tool. The low-cut flapper dresses Resorts is making its female beverage servers wear have already generated two lawsuits from older women who say they were fired for being judged insufficiently sexy in them. Resorts raised some eyebrows, and the ire of New Jersey’s public transit agency, when it put up a billboard featuring a dancer’s bare bottom to promote a stage show. And next month, Gomes promises, the casino will host a nightly “Naked Circus” in a parking lot tent. The Tropicana Casino and Resort, Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino, and the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa all dress beverage servers and even some dealers in lingerie or similarly revealing, cleavage-enhancing costumes. Bally’s Atlantic City has its iCandy Burlesque dancers at a casino lounge. If it seems like Atlantic City is trying to catch up to Las Vegas — the original Sin City — it is. The Diving Horse, a $1 millionplus gentlemen’s club/steakhouse, opened two weeks ago with Vegas on its mind. “The Diving Horse is bringing the Las Vegas-style gentlemen’s club to the Northeast,” spokeswoman Shannon Niland said. “Vegas does that type of entertainment for a reason: sex sells.” Atlantic City has had to walk a fine line in promoting itself as an edgier, sexier resort without alienating more conservative customers. Its current motto is “Always Turned On” — not quite as risque as “What Happens In Vegas Stays In Vegas.” “We’ve always looked to promote Atlantic City as a sensual

where U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner is embroiled in a sexting scandal, have introduced legislation that would allow judges to send teens who send explicit photos to counseling instead of jail if prosecutors agree they meant no harm. Studies show that one in five teens has electronically transmitted explicit photos of themselves, and one third say they have received such photos. It’s a 21st century update of “I’ll show you mine” with one critical difference: lewd photos can be passed on with the push of a button and live forever on the Internet. Some students in the Tunkhannock Area School District faced legal trouble in 2009 over the sending and receiving of racy

the group started its journey across the country, having been invited to various libraries to read to young people eagerly waiting to listen. And the group was quite eager to get going. Neither the bike riding nor the reading has anything “lightweight” about it. The reading material included several classics, such as John Steinbeck’s “Grapes of Wrath,” and Garth Stein’s, “The Art of Racing in the Rain.” “I want the reading material itself to reflect diversity and balance,” said Vrabel.

destination, and we started to push the envelope a little more,” said Jeff Vasser, executive director of the Atlantic City Convention and Visitors Bureau. “But you have to balance it. At the end of the day, we are still a community that existed long before it was a casino town. We could never get away with ‘What Happens Here Stays Here.’ ” Marc Meltzer, who runs a marketing agency and several gambling/travel websites, is encouraged Atlantic City is trying something different to draw attention to itself. Before moving to Las Vegas in November, the 37-year-old would visit Atlantic City every six weeks, favoring Harrah’s Resort and the Borgata, whose scantily clad “Borgata Babes” were a highlight. “The eye candy was topnotch,” he said. “It’s what attracts a 20- or 30-year-old guy. If he can go somewhere and look at

a good-looking girl, all other things being equal, he’ll go look at the good-looking girl. I enjoy rolling dice with the old men and looking at a good-looking girl. That’s a good combination.” Bonita West, a human resources manager from Orange County, N.Y., says sexy casinos can’t hurt. “I hope they do polish up the ladies a little more, give me a run for my money!” she joked. “I have seen some humdrum (servers), and after a while they begin to blend in with the carpets. Let’s make them just as eye-popping as the machines: catchy outfits that I might even envy. Give me some ideas I might want to use to stimulate my husband of 27 years. Let’s make the atmosphere sexy!” Not everyone agrees. “Any time we objectify women, see them as part of the furniture or the decor, we put all

women at risk of the type of behavior that objectification brings, like rape, domestic violence and sexual abuse,” said Erin O’Hanlon, an official with The Women’s Center, located just outside Atlantic City. “These are someone’s mothers, wives, cousins, sisters, daughters. Some of them are undoubtedly doing this in order to support their families. It sends the message that women who are dressed this way are commodities.” In announcing a plan to help rescue Atlantic City from its 41⁄2-year downward spiral last summer, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said he envisioned the gambling resort as a more family-friendly place, with Ferris wheels and amusement parks to complement the casinos. A spokesman for the governor declined to comment this week.

pictures via cell phone. “It’s an extraordinarily common behavior among kids, like it or not,” said Amy Adler, a law professor at New York University who has studied how child pornography laws have been applied to sexting. “I hope lawmakers and prosecutors figure out quickly how to address it, because it’s not going away.” Parents and educators are the most likely to discover that a teen has sent or received lewd photos. Even when police or prosecutors get involved, most cases don’t result in felony charges. But it has happened. Last month, a Michigan prosecutor announced he had authorized felony charges against three 13- and 14-year-olds caught sexting. In Rhode Island, a 16-year-old avoided felony charges last summer but pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and indecent exposure. The boy had shown

friends an explicit phone video of himself with a female student. He was sentenced to 200 hours of community service and prohibited from owning a cell phone with a camera for one year. Prosecutors and judges need more discretion to treat each cast of sexting differently, said Sherry Capps Cannon, a former principal and high school administrator who recently graduated from Southern University Law Center in Louisiana, where she wrote a law review article examining laws surrounding teen sexting. “The law has to acknowledge the intent of the person sending the photo,” she said. “Right now, laws designed to protect children are being used to punish them.” The legislation working its way through the Rhode Island General Assembly would make sexting by minors a juvenile offense similar to truancy. The bill

has passed the House and awaits a vote in the Senate. Under current law minors who transmit indecent photos of themselves could face criminal penalties including prison time and fines of up to $5,000. Teens who forward indecent photos of other minors, however, could still face child pornography charges. State Sen. John Tassoni led a state task force examining cyberbullying and other problems caused by teens using technology in inappropriate ways. He said parents and schools can help stop sexting by reminding students that mistakes committed in cyberspace can have longlasting, real-world consequences. But as Weiner’s recent case shows, he said, there’s no age limit for inappropriate Internet use. And Tassoni doesn’t see the problem going away anytime soon.

Vrabel is also accompanied by his father, Frank Vrabel, Denville, N.J., and nephew Jon Vrabel’s girlfriend, Danielle Marie Limoncelli, Cranford, N.J., who will follow the group in an RV. Kevin Vrabel reflected on the great influence that his father had in his life in regard to positive attitude and balance. The senior Vrabel is just as likely to share views on literary topics as he was to spend an afternoon rooting for the Mets. Asked to reflect on his adventure, Vrabel quoted from the first book he will be reading, Steinbeck’s “Travels with Charlie.” “Once a journey is designed, equipped and put in process, a new factor enters and takes over. A trip, a safari, an exploration, is

an entity, different from other journeys. It has personality, temperament, individuality, uniqueness.” One of their first stops on their adventure with others was at the Lucerne Valley Library in California to read with young people who had gathered there on June 1.“We appreciate the willingness of people to receive us into their communities,” said Vrabel, “and we use it as an opportunity to share our ‘Bikes and Books’ message.” On June 4, the group also made its way through the Mojave Desert. Vrabel expressed thanks to his dad for following in the RV, ensuring that the group would have enough water. He also credits his nephews for pro-

viding encouragement. He has scheduled several more library stops in which he is looking forward to sharing bikes, books and stories about his journey back to the East Coast. "We hope to arrive back some how better and with an improved perspective on our nation and the people in it,” said Vrabel, indicating that so far, the journey has been grueling, but well worth it. Vrabel encourages those interested to follow their progress on Facebook and on their event website http://web.me.com/bikesbooks/Site/Riders.html, or to come out and join them as they make their way across country.

BARLETTA Continued from Page 1A

the Pennsylvania Democratic Party, upon hearing the news about the Patriot Program’s initial list. “They all voted for the unpopular GOP plan to end Medicare as we know it.” Eyes on Barletta There is no debate about one thing, however: Barletta’s bid for a second term will be the focus of state and national attention by both parties and outside liberal and conservative groups. When Barletta spent about $18,000 on taxpayer-funded “franked” mailings from his congressional office to constituents during the first quarter he was in office this year, Democrats howled that he was being a hypocrite because Barletta criticized longtime Democratic Rep. Paul Kanjorski for his franking practices during Barletta’s successful 2010 run against Kanjorski. Did Barletta try to keep video cameras – at least those not possessed by credentialed media – out of a recent constituent meeting? Barletta said he was just trying to keep a liberal group from disrupting a small, private meeting – not a publicly advertised town hall or large scale forum – about flooding issues. Democrats pointed to that as evidence that he is running scared. Also featured in the controversy over alleged video camera bans was another Northeastern Pennsylvania freshman Republican, Rep. Tom Marino of Lycoming Township. But there is much more of a spotlight on Barletta, and for good political reason. The 11th District that Barletta won is considered a Democratic stronghold. Barletta defeated Kanjorski in a terrible year for Democrats, amid criticism of the new health care reform law, grumblings that Kanjorski and his longstanding record of obtaining big bucks federal earmarks for pet district projects was out of line with the need for fiscal discipline and that Kanjorski, first elected in1984, had just been in office too long. Marino, by contrast, won last year in a district, the 10th, that had been favorable to Republicans until Christopher Carney seized the seat in 2006 during a good year for Democrats and after thenRep. Don Sherwood became embroiled in a personal scandal. Toss-up seat The nonpartisan Cook Political Report’s early ratings of House races lists Barletta’s as one of nine GOP-held districts currently considered a toss-up for 2012. Marino is not even listed as being in a competitive race. Nathan Gonzales, the political editor of the nonpartisan Rothenberg Political Report, notes it is very early in the election cycle, and notes Republicans are in charge of drawing new district lines and will try to safeguard vulnerable incumbents. The Cook Political Report, also, notes that redistricting may have a big impact on 2012 races. Still, “Barletta looks like a more attractive target for Democrats because he currently represents a more Democratic district,” Gonzales said. Mulling a challenge Democrat William Vinsko, a lawyer with his own practice who also is a Wilkes-Barre assistant city attorney, is exploring making a run against Barletta. “I am committed to working for the people of Northeast Pennsylvania,” Vinsko said last week. “How we go about doing that is what we are going to announce soon.” Democrats, of course, have

their own version of the Patriot Program, which the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee calls Frontline Democrats. Included on that list is another Pennsylvania lawmaker, Rep. Mark Critz, D-12th. “At the beginning of each election cycle, both parties identify their most vulnerable members either by the competitiveness of their district or the close margin of their victory,” Gonzales said. “These committee lists are used to point potential donors and outside groups to seats where their help is needed most.” Until new congressional lines are drawn, “it’s too early to tell how vulnerable Barletta or Marino will end up being,” Gonzales added. But, “both parties think of certain districts as their own, so when they lose them, those immediately start as targets for the next cycle.” And it would seem that Barletta is a top-echelon target already for Democrats. Early salvos fired Barletta said in an interview last week that, “I am one of the top targeted races in the country by the Democrats, if not the number one targeted race in the country. They have not even given me a chance to get my pictures hung on the wall before they started their attacks.” Nicastre, the Pennsylvania Democratic Party spokesman, asserts that both Barletta and Marino are vulnerable to challenges in their first bids for reelection, but acknowledges that Democrats look at Barletta and his more Democratic district as especially precarious. The NRCC’s initial list of Patriot Program members was released on the heels of criticism of the House GOP budget plan that proposes to partially privatize Medicare and a special U.S. House election in New York last month that saw a Democrat win in a traditionally Republican district. “The Patriot Program and Barletta’s inclusion on the list really highlights his vulnerability,” Nicastre said. “The NRCC saw what happened politically with that (budget) vote and after the New York special election that sent them into something of a panic.” Tory Mazzola, a spokesman for the NRCC in Washington, said the Patriot Program is not about being defensive, it’s about going on the political offensive. In 2010, 40 of 42 Patriot Program participants won their races, he said. “The focus is to keep Republican members on the offensive talking about the things they have done in Washington to lower taxes and create jobs,” he said. Barletta said he is hardly panicking. Video cameras are welcome in public forums, he just wanted to avoid disruption of that particular meeting by outside groups while still allowing in credential media, Barletta said in the interview last week. And while he criticized Kanjorski for overusing taxpayer-funded mailings too close to election time, some mailings used to inform constituents about official issues are appropriate, Barletta said. “I take that as a compliment that they (Democrats) feel they needed to start attacking me as soon as I got into office because it shows me we ran a strong campaign,” he said. Barletta says he is focusing on his official work, not on campaigning, noting that during a House recess last week he met with experts in education and work force training and with small business to discuss federal issues. He also helped sponsor a meeting with FBI gang experts, drawing on his experience as a former Hazleton mayor to talk about combating gang crime in the area. “I won’t need to worry about the political stuff,” Barletta said. “My campaign is the average folks who like how hard I work for them.” one,” said another. Toomey too kept up the banter in the drive-by blessings. “Where is the rest of the family?” he asked a father and son riding a jet ski. “God bless you guys. Take care,” he said to others. Even though the response to the annual event was smaller than previous years, Toomey said he was pleased. The weather cooperated and he got to see some familiar faces. “I think I knew every single one of them,” he said.

Not even close, and a year unlike any other ended they way they all have so far — with him still waiting for an NBA title. He scored 21 points for Miami, shook a few hands afterward, and

LONG POND -- It took a team owner putting a driver in a headlock and throwing some punches to take some of the spotlight off of the long-running feud between Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick. Richard Childress -- who reportedly attacked Busch following a Trucks Series race last weekend -paid a fine and made nice this week at Pocono. But that wasn’t the end of the story.

WRESTLING

Sanderson wins title OKLAHOMA CITY — Cael Sanderson beat Jake Herbert to win the 185-pound freestyle title at the World Team Trials on Saturday, capping a successful return to wrestling. Sanderson, who turns 32 this month, qualified for the World Championships in September in Istanbul. “After last year’s World (Championships) I was just kind of thinking what am I doing this summer?” said Sanderson, who won four matches on Saturday. “I could have been a little more disciplined, a little more focused and I could have just wrestled. There is plenty of time in the day to add a little bit more and I really thought hard about it. “My job right now is coaching the Penn State wrestling team and that is my top priority next to God and my family. I could go home at the end of the day and try and master (the video game) Call of Duty or be a little more focused and try and wrestle.” Sanderson got out of wrestling shortly after winning an Olympic gold medal in 2004, following his 159-0 career at Iowa State — the first ever perfect four-year run through college competition. He coached the Nittany Lions to the NCAA title last season. He was inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame on Thursday night. BOXING

After Franchitti’s dominating victory, there was still another race in major open-wheel racing’s first doubleheader in 30 years. The starting positions for the Saturday night finale were determined by a blind draw, a lottery that put Franchitti 28th and Power third. That could wind up costing three-time IndyCar season champ Franchitti another title even though he worked to a seventh-place finish. Power started with a 16-point lead, which was trimmed to seven after Franchitti won the opener and Power was third. It tripled to 21 after Power won the nightcap.

Frazar won a month before turning 40 when Karlsson pushed a par-saving putt 3 feet past the hole. Now the man who was roommates at Texas with Justin Leonard has the biggest paycheck of his career, taking home $1,008,000 after missing a chance to win on the 72nd hole when he made his first bogey of the day. He shot a 3-under 67 to match Karlsson (68) at 13 under. Frazar became the seventh

Edwards’ engine trouble decreases lead The points leader’s margin dropped to just six points after 37th-place finish. By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

LONG POND – Carl Edwards came into Sunday’s 5-Hour Energy 500 NASCAR race at Pocono with a 40-point lead over Jimmie Johnson. An engine issue on his No. 99 Kellogg’s Ford during lap 58 took a significant bite out of what was a sizable points lead. When his hauler pulled out of the 2.5-mile triangular track Sunday night, Edwards found himself up just six points over Jimmie Johnson heading into next Sunday’s race in Michigan. Edwards has 492 points, Johnson, 486, Dale Earnhardt Jr. with 482 and Kevin Harvick has 481. After about 10 minutes of sitting in his car as crew members worked feverishly in the Adam Petty Garage at Pocono, Ed-

Carl Edwards developed engine problems and he had to back his car up to go to the garage area with a member of the pit crew.

wards exited his Ford and talked about what happened. “One of the valves got in an argument with something in the engine and lost,” Edwards said while still flashing his characteristic big grin. “We broke one valve. We don’t think it is from

an over rev or anything. We just think it was parts failure.” Edwards was on the lead lap, running in the top 10, at the time of the incident and dropped down to 37th, where he finished the race and picked up seven championship points.

By running the last lap, he averted his first did not finish (DNF) since last April when he crashed his car at a race at the Texas Motor Speedway. Edwards took the engine troubles in stride by pointing out that he’s had such a solid history with the FR9 engine, “it is just one of those things.” “Doug Yates (CEO of Roush Yates Engines, which builds Edwards’ engines) and those guys have done such a good job with this engine that I don’t end up in the garage watching them work on it very often at all,” said Edwards, who could not add to the two Pocono trophies already on his mantle. “Our engines have been just flawless for a while. Every once in a while you are going to have a failure and we have been running well enough that hopefully we can absorb the failure. If this is the worst thing that happens all year, then that is fine.” When asked about the new

shifting rules put into effect this weekend at Pocono, Edwards said he did not believe it played a role in the engine failure. NASCAR implemented new transmission and rear-end gear ratios that required some shifting – something that hasn’t been seen at Pocono in six years. Kurt Busch, who finished second and is now fifth in the points race with 466, said the shifting issue was “one concern all of us had in the back of our minds coming in here.” Edwards said the new shifting requirements and his engine issues were not related. “It is just a coincidence I believe that we broke something,” Edwards said. “I was really trying hard to be easy on the engine and only shifting in (turns) one and two and I was short shifting into fourth,” Edwards said. Edwards said the track, which has a reputation for being hard on engines, brakes and transmis-

The modified gear setup made race concerning for many drivers. By PAUL SOKOLOSKI psokoloski@timesleader.com

LONG POND – All this shifting really changed things around at Pocono Raceway. Carl Edwards blew his big points lead. Tony Stewart and Ryan Newman blew gear boxes. And Jeff Gordon blew past everyone into victory lane. All because what had become a safe, boring race at Pocono during the past few years kicked it into a higher gear Sunday. When NASCAR modified its transmission gear ratios this season and made shifting easier at mid-sized tracks like Pocono Raceway, it not only caused consternation. It upset the whole apple cart. “I definitely had concerns,” said Gordon, the one guy on the track who seemed to have little to worry about after he captured the 5Hour Energy 500 at Pocono. “I was more concerned with what it did to the car – ‘How unstable the car was when I would shift.’ “I made a few mistakes.” Not nearly as many as others. Stewart, who finished in the top three during four of his past five races at Pocono, wound up losing third gear midway through the race. He had to use fourth gear while struggling to wind up 21st Sunday. His teammate Ryan Newman placed ninth, but not before blowing third gear himself much later in the 500-mile race. And others struggled to find a happy medium most of the way. “I had a vibration in third gear for about 25 laps,” said Marcos Ambrose, who wound up 34th. “We tried to save it, but we lost third gear. And then trying to leave the pits in fourth gear, we lost the clutch, too. It was just a bad day.” Not as bad as what Edwards experienced. His 40-point lead in the driver standings dwindled to just six when he was forced off the track for most of the day when a valve broke in his engine. “We don’t think it was from over-rev or anything,” said Edwards, who completed just 59 laps - returning from the garage in time to finish only the last one after his Ford conked out after the first 58 trips around the track. “We just think it was a parts failure.” With all this shifting back at Pocono Raceway after a three-year absence, fear of equipment seemed to haunt every driver. “That’s one concern that all of us had in the back of our minds today, with all the extra shifting,” said Kurt Busch, who placed runner-up to Gordon. Even if shifting gears didn’t take Edwards out of the race, it made him take it easy for awhile. “I was trying really hard to be easy on the engine,” said Edwards, who finished 37th out of 43 drivers, “and only shifting in (turns) one and two. And I was short-shifting into fourth (gear). I didn’t want to over-rev it.” In fact, it even took Gordon some time to get revved up. “The first 100 laps, I guarantee you I shifted less than anybody else in this race,” Gordon said. “Not because I was trying to save equipment. Because it was easier.” But late in the race, he eased off that strategy and started changing gears with each turn. “I HAD to step it up,” Gordon said. “I started shifting more as the pace started to drop.” It gave Gordon the lead for good on lap 162, and allowed him to hold off hard-charging Busch through the final 38 laps for the victory. “I do think shifting made survival a little bit more important in today’s race than we’ve seen (at Pocono) in the past,” Gordon said. “It just put you in position to make more mistakes.” You might say he’s one of the few that kept it in gear.

sions, “is very taxing on everything.” As the laps ticked down and other competitors pulled their cars into the garage area and listed them as “out” of the race, Edwards’ crew continued working on his car to get it back on the track to pick up a point or two. By lap 161, the possibility of picking up any more points went out the window but his crew continued working on the Ford Fusion to avoid the dreaded DNF. With three laps remaining the Edwards’ piloted car was headed back out to the track, not picking up any points but making sure he finished the race. He ran the final lap of the race ensuring the non-DNF streak continued. The problems for Edwards was met by competitors with talk of renewed hopes for their own title hopes. “When the points leader has trouble, everybody benefits from that,” Kurt Busch said.

The 5-Hour Energy 500 starts as the green flag comes out with the cars passing in front of the grandstand Sunday.

LAP1– The race begins and Denny Hamlin wastes no time taking the lead. LAP 10 – Caution 1 for debris. A handful of drivers pit, but the leaders stay out. LAP 12 – Restart with Hamlin leading Paul Menard. LAP 18 – Caution 2 for debris. This will serve as the competition caution scheduled for lap 20. LAP 21 – Restart with Juan Montoya leading, but he is quickly overtaken by Hamlin. Scott Riggs off the track. Tony Raines joins him, thus beginning the start-andpark parade to the garage. And now Michael McDowell is off the track as well. LAP 39 – Kevin Harvick pits out of sequence because the crew didn’t get all the fuel in during a stop under caution. LAP 43 – Five start-and-park drivers drop out at the same time, perhaps setting a Cup record for simultaneously calling it quits. LAP 45 – Drivers begin pitting under green. LAP 48 – Paul Menard, who started second, received a pass-though penalty for exiting too fast on pit road. LAP 50 – Green-flag stops are through and Hamlin in command once again. LAP 58 – Points leader Carl Edwards is in the pits with the hood up. He takes the car to the garage. LAP 70 – Hamlin leads Montoya by 2.5 seconds. No other driver is within eight seconds of the leader. LAP 76 – A slow green-flag stop by Hamlin allows Montoya to gain the lead. LAP 95 – Another round of greenflag pit stops begins. LAP 98 – Montoya gives up the lead to Hamlin to pit. LAP 101 – Hamlin pits, Montoya back in front. Jeff Gordon is in third, but he and the rest of the field haven’t been much of a factor. LAP 109 – Hamlin back on pit road, but caution 3 comes out for debris on the next lap. LAP 112 – The field pits under caution with Montoya out front. It’s Montoya, Hamlin and Gordon the first out of the pits. LAP 130 – Gordon gaining a little on leader Busch, but Hamlin is losing some ground to Gordon. LAP 140 – Green-flag pit stops. Once the field cycles through them, Busch remains in the lead followed by Gordon and Hamlin. LAP 156 – Busch has a fairly comfortable lead over Gordon and Hamlin when the caution comes out for a fourth time, once again for debris. LAP 159 – Montoya wins the race off pit road by taking just two tires. Gordon second and Busch third. Hamlin has to come back in after his left rear goes flat and restarts 22nd. LAP 166 – Greg Biffle spins coming off turn 3, but slides toward pit road and there’s no caution. LAP 171 – Tony Stewart starts a round of green-flag pit stops. LAP 185 – Gordon followed by Busch, his brother Kyle Busch and … Landon Cassill. Yep, Landon Cassill. LAP 195 – Gordon leads Busch by 2.6 seconds, so it’s just a matter of time. LAP 200 – Gordon wins for the fifth time at Pocono, joining Bill Elliott as the track’s all-time winner at the track and tying Bobby Allison and Darrell Waltrip for third on the all-time wins list with 84 victories.

Rain helps winner pull away from field

Shapelski used steady rain to his advantage and gain the Pro123 victory in Luzerne. By JAY MONAHAN For The Times Leader

LUZERNE – A steady downpour made Sunday’s Luzerne Criterium cycling race difficult for the field – except for the three riders in the front of the pack. With the heavy rain giving the fastest riders an insurmountable minute-long lead, the 36-mile race came down to the final lap. After David Novak held a tight lead for four straight laps going into the final mile, Elizabethtown’s Ryan Shapelski broke ahead on an inside cut and outsprinted Iggy Silva, of San Diego, for the victory. “I kept it steady,” said Shapelski, who defeated Silva by one pace. “Once you go around so many times, you get a good read on your group. You think about how you’re going to dial it in.

“With the rain slowing everyone, I was able to get a little aggressive on one of the turns and cut in ahead for the lead.” The leaders broke open when a 30-minute downpour forced cyclists to slow down on their turns. Instead of slowing down, Novak, Silva and Shapelski picked up the pace and distanced themselves with 25 miles left to race. Novak, a senior at Tunkhannock, said the leaders “wouldn’t have gotten away if it was dry.” “It was hard to see,” he said. “Some people really struggled on the turns. It was much easier (for us) to get ahead once it started pouring.” Teddy Kozlowski, a 14-year old cyclist from Bridgewater, N.J., competed in three of the seven races. Kozlowski took second in the Junior Boys 15-16, 10th in the Category 5 and 13th in the Pro123 race. “I knew I was doing the other two races,” Kozlowski said. “I got suckered into the pro race by a couple other riders, and the

course looked tempting.” In total, Kozlowski cycled 75 miles on Sunday and was one of just 15 riders who finished the professional circuit. “The course is really impressive,” he stated. “The hills keep everyone together, and they keep you from using your brakes often. It made it easier for me to race that much.” Both Novak and Kozlowski were at a significant disadvantage in the Pro123 race. Rules state that riders under the age of 19 must race on fixed-geared bicycles. Instead of cycling 80 rpms like most riders, Kozlowski said that he and Novak must pedal at 100 rpms – 20 percent

more than the field. Luke Lukas, of Courtdale, placed second in the Junior 1718. Tunkhannock’s Nick Puza notched second in the Category 5 race. The final Northeast Pennsylvania Cycling Series race of the season is the Wilkes-Barre Pro/ Am Twilight Criterium on Aug. 27.

It might still happen, of course. But even after 72 wins this season, including playoffs, the Heat lost the last game. And that means this year was a disappointment — except to just about everyone else in the NBA, or so it would seem.

critics, everyone from Cleveland (where “Cavs for Mavs” shirts were popular during these finals) to Chicago (the city James and Wade both flirted with last summer) and just about every place in between lining up to take shots at Miami. Given their newfound popularity, meet the new America’s Team.

Sorry, Cowboys — your longheld moniker might have to be ceded to your city’s NBA club. When it was over, Mavs owner Mark Cuban ran onto the court to hug Carlisle, then punched the air and whooped. Dallas took control in the second half after some wild backand-forths in the opening two quarters.

Harvick, a driver for Richard Childress Racing, didn’t need much of an excuse to mix it up with Busch.

dress said Friday. “He knows he has one coming," Harvick told ESPN on Sunday. “I just wanted him to think about it.’’ Asked generally what he thought the perception of Busch was like in the garage, Harvick said simply, “I think that’s pretty self-explanatory." Harvick went right after Busch in the early laps of Sunday’s race, veering off of his line to bang into Busch before stalking him around the 2 1/2-mile track to crowd him. NASCAR quickly put a stop to it. Both drivers are still on probation as a result of the incident at Darlington. Busch and crew chief Dave Rogers weren’t pleased with

the warning, arguing that Harvick was the only one trying to stir things up. To Busch’s credit, he kept his emotions in check and turned in one of his best career performances at Pocono, a track where he has traditionally struggled. In 12 previous races at the tri-oval, Busch’s average finish was 20th. That seems to be changing recently, however, as Busch took second in the June race last year before capturing third on Sunday, despite any potential penalties from failing inspection. “Yeah, this isn’t one of my best (tracks), but today we had a good run," Busch said. “And that’s all I can ask for."

stem caused a flat left rear tire. Brake woes cropped up a short time later, reducing early dominance to a misleading 19thplace finish. “(Hamlin) did fade,” Gordon said. “I know he had the tire issue, but he didn’t seem as good at the end.” After Hamlin fell by the wayside, Kurt Busch flexed his strength in his pole-winning No. 22 Dodge. But after yellow-flag pit stops on lap 156, he was only able to hold off Gordon for nine laps. “It was a great battle,” Kurt Busch said. “I thought we could gain on him after 15 laps into the run, and we were able to do that most of the day. And we were able to do that again at the end, but we just couldn’t close the gap far enough.” Gordon surrendered the lead

just once over the final 40 laps, and that came to non-contender Landon Cassill during green-flag stops until the field cycled through. The victory was Gordon’s first since winning at Phoenix in the second race of the season. It was also his second top-five finish after a string of four finishes out of the top 10. He also moved up to 12th in the drivers standings, improving his chance of making the Chase for the Sprint Cup at the end of the season, but that was a small part of Sunday. “I’m more excited about the momentum and the strides coming for us at this point of the season,” Gordon said. Hamlin led the way in laps lead with 76. Gordon was second with 39 followed by Juan Montoya with 38.

about 84 until they reminded me when I went to do the Speed Channel ‘Victory Lane’ show. “Then I was like, ‘Oh yeah, that’s unbelievable.’ I really can’t even express in words what it means to tie Darrell Waltrip and Bobby Allison at 84 wins.” Busch was second followed by his brother Kurt Busch, who was horrible in the three previous June races at Pocono. Jimmie Johnson was fourth and Kevin Harvick fifth. “It’s impressive what he’s done in his career,” Kyle Busch said of Gordon. “Not just this decade or the 2000s, but back all the way to the ’90s. He’s a true legend in our sport, a four-time

champion. “When I came in as a rookie (in 2005), I set the bar to compete with him and race with him the best that I could.” Kyle Busch, though, received some bad news after the race as his No. 18 Toyota failed postrace inspection due to a height issue with the left front. NASCAR will take another look at the car at its research and development center and make an announcement today. For quite some time, it appeared Denny Hamlin was going to be the driver to join Elliott atop the Pocono all-time winners list. Hamlin dominated through the first 100 laps of the 200-lap race, but problems on pit road haunted him. The biggest came on lap 156 when he returned to the pit after a severed value

ed to (Pinterich) quite frequently. And he said, ‘I’ll tell you what – I won a state championship with a lesser quality team.’ ” There’s no question the talent is there for Tunkhannock (18-2), which has won backto-back District 2 championships, reaching the state quarterfinals last season before bowing out. As a team, the Tigers are batting .351 in six postseason games, led by Virginia recruit Mike Papi, who is 8-for-13 (.615) with three doubles, two home runs and nine RBI. Fellow senior Kyle Custer is at .600 with three doubles, three triples and a home run. Rich Condeelis (.583) and Mike Healey (.421) have driven in eight and seven runs, respectively. And, of course, Healey is 3-0 on the mound with a 2.00 ERA this postseason, striking out 26 in 21 innings while walking just four. In his last two starts, the UConn-bound senior has surrendered just one run on four hits in 13 innings. Healey said after his complete-game win in the quarterfinals, he hopes to get the ball to start today’s game. He would likely face off against Blue Mountain’s Jake Cryts, a junior right-hander who sports an ERA of 1.43 in 54 innings through the regular season and playoffs. The Eagles (20-4) have won three of the last four District 11 Class 3A titles and are looking to be the first team in school history – in any sport – to play in a state championship game. A win will put the Tigers into the state championship game for the first time in program history, facing either Elizabeth Forward or Northern York on Friday at Penn State’s Medlar Field in State College. Tunkhannock last reached this level in 1999, when the Tigers lost to eventual state champion Chambersburg in the PIAA 3A semifinals – back when 3A was the highest classification in Pennsylvania high school baseball. They’ll get another shot to reach the biggest stage today. “It’s exciting. It really is,” Custer said. “I’m so happy for the kids and I’m proud of them. They play the game the right way.”

"The defense helped me out a lot today.’’ The biggest tip of the cap in that department went to right fielder Dan Brewer, who did a Spiderman impression on the outfield wall to rob Syracuse’s Jesus Valdez of what looked like a two-run homer in the fourth. Brewer hurt his hamstring on the play and had to leave the game. Miley said more on his status should be known today. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre was already lighter in outfield depth because New York recalled Chris Dickerson on Sunday. Pitcher Hector Noesi was also promoted, necessitating a visit from Igawa, the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre franchise’s career leader in wins (32). "He threw a lot of strikes and changed speeds really good,’’ Scranton/Wilkes-Barre pitching coach Scott Aldred said of Igawa’s effort. "Kei was Kei. We can count on him to throw out a pretty decent start. It’s nice to have him here.’’ The Yankees pushed across four runs in the top of the eighth to turn a one-run deficit into what looked like a safe 5-2 lead. But Syracuse roughed up reliever Ryan Pope in the ninth, picking up runs on a groundout by Carlos Maldonado and a single from Tug Hulett. Matt Antonelli’s single finally chased Pope in favor of Randy Flores. With Hulett on second and Antonelli on first, Flores retired Jesus Flores on a flyout. That brought up Ryan Zimmerman, Washington’s star third baseman who was in Syracuse on a rehab

assignment. Zimmerman smashed a hard grounder down the third base line, but Laird smoothly backhanded it and made the long throw to barely nab the runner and end the game. "It was a great play,’’ Brewer said. "Defense will win you games a lot of times, sometimes in close games, you need to make those plays to win a game, help out the pitchers. They’re trying their best, we’re trying our best to back them up.’’ After Syracuse starter Erik Arnesen handcuffed the Yankees on one run in 6 2/3 innings, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre went to work against the Chiefs’ bullpen in the eighth. Jorge Vazquez stepped up to tie the game at 2-2 with an RBI single off Hassan Pena (0-2), and Laird’s fielder’s choice grounder against reliever Josh Wilkie drove in Jordan Parraz. One out later, Greg Golson delivered what turned out to be valuable insurance with a two-run single. "I just wanted to make sure to put the ball in play. There were two big runs out there,’’ Golson said. "The first pitcher (Arnesen) kind of kept us off-balance real well. It was good to get something going against those guys.’’ Igawa’s return made a mark on the franchise record book. Sunday was his 73rd career start for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, tying Pat Combs atop that list. He passed Combs for first on the Yankees’ career innings pitched mark, jumping up to 457 2/3. And the solo home run he allowed to Syracuse’s Jeff Frazier that tied the game in the bottom of the fifth put him in sole possession of first for career round-trippers surrendered by a Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre pitcher (56).

is just 5-5 in the postseason with a 3.49 goals-against average and an .885 save percentage away from Vancouver, compared to a 10-3 mark with a 1.70 GAA and a .943 save percentage at Rogers Arena. All four of Luongo’s playoff shutouts were at home, too. “I don’t want to start making excuses for what happened here in the first two games,” said Luongo, who gave up 12 goals in just over four periods before getting pulled from Game 4. “Maybe they got the

first goal, a couple of lucky bounces, whatever it was, and as a team we got away from the game plan, myself included.” Boston goalie Tim Thomas has held the NHL’s highestscoring team to just six goals in five games, limiting the Sedin wins to two combined points. He sees ample reason to believe the Bruins can extend their season to its limit. The Bruins have lost three one-goal games in Vancouver. “You try to get the same

focus that you had as a kid when you were out playing on the pond and you’re just enjoying the game,” Thomas said. “Really, if you approach it like that, it can be really fun.” Although the series has been a fascinating contrast of styles on the ice, it’s also featured more than its share of bad sportsmanship, posturing and questionable behavior — from Alex Burrows’ bite in Game 1 and the ensuing taunts to Aaron Rome’s hit on Nathan Horton in Game 3.

LEHMAN TWP. - Andrew McClain woke up Sunday morning with no idea if he would get the opportunity to play in the Wyoming Valley Conference Senior All-Star game later in the day. After his father did a quick check on the Internet, he informed his son he would indeed get one last shot on the volleyball court.

“I was excited to get to play another game,” said the Abington Heights senior, who walked off the court after being named the game’s Most Valuable Player. McClain, recently selected as a second team all-star by the league’s coaches, racked up a combined 17 kills, 14 service points, three aces and six digs in the game as his Blue team defeated the Green team by scores of 25-11, 21-25, 28-26, 23-25, 15-13. “To not even know I was going to be playing in the game and

Yankees’ hit parade routs hapless Indians

The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Derek Jeter had a pair of RBI singles, Alex Rodriguez drove in three runs and the New York Yankees pounded out a season-high 18 hits in beating the slumping Cleveland Indians, 9-1 Sunday. Jeter singled during a fiverun fifth inning and again during a three-run eighth, closing within seven hits of 3,000. The Yankees’ captain has four more games during their homestand to reach the milestone before the team heads out on a six-game trip. Curtis Granderson went 4 for 4 and drove in a pair of runs, and Brett Gardner had a pair of doubles, a triple and scored three times. Twins 6, Rangers 1

coming away as the MVP, that’s a good accomplishment for myself,” McClain said. The game featured some the conference’s best senior players as well as Green team coach Mike Labagh of Dallas, who was named 2011 Coach of the Year. “It was a lot of fun jumping in to a random group of kids,” the Mountaineer head coach said. “It’s nice to see how much the seniors learned in their three or four years of experience.” McClain’s teammate John

McCarthy of Holy Redeemer totaled 12 kills, seven service points, including two aces. Coughlin’s Brian Suchoski had 22 assists and Nanticoke Area’s Cael Evans chipped in with10 kills and an ace as part of four service points for the Green team. Despite being MVP in his final high school game, the three-year starter for the Comets had a bittersweet feeling at the end of the game. “It’s sad,” said McClain. “This year went by so fast, it being my

senior year. To play in one more game I didn’t know I was going to be playing in was a great experience and I had a lot of fun.” Labagh said he was pleased to coach the all-star game and the kids from around the conference, including his two Dallas seniors Chris Dillon and Kevin Hine. “It definitely made me proud,” the first-year coach said. “Seeing them be here, spotting on the court and swinging away. It was something I taught them. It’s nice to see they retained some of the

information.” Labagh also noted the quality of talent in the game. He also said the positive attitude of the players helped make the game enjoyable. “The name says it all, it’s definitely an all-star game,” Labagh said. “Everyone who showed up played solid volleyball all the way around.” Notes: The Coaches Association wanted to thank Lake-Lehman for hosting the event and John Shields for officiating.

has stalled over the northeast and will help produce more clouds and a few showers over our region today. We don't expect severe storms because we'll have a good deal of clouds this afternoon, which will help keep the temperature down throughout the day. A passing shower is possible, however, I expect most areas to remain dry through this evening. - Kurt Aaron

MONDAY, JUNE 13, 2011 PAGE 7C

Mother thinks daughter’s closet door was opened by her mentor Dear Abby: My daughter recently told us she is attracted to women. I feel she has been unduly influenced by her mentor/professor at her college, as she quoted this woman several times when she “came out.” My daughter has always been quiet and shy. How am I to accept this, especially since I feel her mentor took advantage of the situation? I love my daughter very much. This just hurts. — Mom at a Loss in Oregon Dear Mom At A Loss: I understand this has been a shock for you, and for that you have my sympathy. It is possible that your daughter has always

DEAR ABBY ADVICE been quiet and shy because she was wrestling with who she is, so the fact that she told you her feelings is a good thing. Because you are hurting, it would be helpful for you to talk to other parents of lesbians and gays. They can help you through this period of adjustment. You can find support by contacting PFLAG (Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) by calling (202) 467-8180 or logging onto www.pflag.org. Dear Abby: My husband and I have been married eight years and have

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

two children. My problem is my husband sleeps on the couch 95 percent of the time instead of in our bed. He makes excuses such as he “fell asleep watching TV,” or “the kids were sleeping in our bed” — even when they weren’t. He even goes to sleep on the couch after we have had sex. I don’t like sleeping by myself every night, and I have tried to explain how upsetting this is to me. Any suggestions? — Missing My Snuggle, Melbourne, Fla. Dear Missing Your Snuggle: Yes. Have you asked your husband why he’s not in bed with you anymore? Your statement that he leaves for the couch after you have had sex could

CRYPTOQUOTE

indicate that one or both of you may have a sleeping disorder that prevents him getting enough rest. But you’ll never find out unless you can get him to level with you about what the problem is. Dear Abby: My darling wife died not long ago. I’m still grieving. Please tell me what to do when women show up as if I’m available to date. I’m not interested in anyone, especially since my wife just passed away. I am still emotionally attached to her, and I don’t want that feeling to fade. Abby, these women are forward and aggressive. I miss my wife. I truly loved her and continue to do so. I know in time I’ll meet someone, but I’m not ready to jump out there because my heart still belongs to my

wife. I welcome your advice, Abby. — Huntsville Widower Dear Widower: Because you wrote to me in longhand rather than via the Internet, I’m assuming you are an older gentleman. Available men in your demographic are hard to find, which is probably why you’re under siege by the casserole brigade. Because you’re not ready to move in that direction, politely tell the women you prefer to be left alone right now to sort out your feelings.

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re being asked to put out so many proverbial fires lately that you wonder how the others have lived this long without you. Back off and see if problems will solve themselves. It can happen! TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You can see it in the faces of your family, your colleagues and the people you pass on the street: The routine gets boring. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your stress level could reach an uncomfortable place, but at least this reminds you to seek relief. Note that your body will be most relaxed after you give it the exercise it was designed to receive. CANCER (June 22-July 22). In the manner of rock stars, boxers and firewood choppers, you will effectively sublimate your anger into something extremely entertaining or useful to everyone around. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You enjoy your fantasies as temporary escape hatches from the stresses of daily life. At the same time, consider that you could make a certain dream come true if you were willing to put in the work. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You don’t have to answer the phone just because it rings. You’ll reclaim your space, time and energy. You may still enjoy a few distractions, but they will be distractions of your own choosing. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are a master at making an exhilarating entrance and also a smooth exit. This social skill will serve you well on this busy day, as you’ll visit many different situations.

MINUTE MAZE JUMBLE BY MICHEAL ARGIRION & JEFF KNUREK

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

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You may think a service you paid for was not at all worth the price. However, it did open new doors and lead you in a direction that was more to your liking. So, all’s well that ends well. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your prayers will be answered. If you don’t pray but instead think about what you want to happen in a general way, you’ll have some degree of satisfaction with the way those requests are met. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). “Why?” you ask. Then you immediately sense that it was not at all the right question. So you ask, “How?” And what you learn will change your life. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Someone close to you has been rather selfish lately, taking advantage of your kindness. You must admit that you have made this rather easy to do. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have the attention of a certain person, and you will handle this well. You’ll build this person’s excitement and anticipation by not asking for what you want right off the bat. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 13). You will feel free to be who you always wanted to be. In July, a discovery will allow you to do what you couldn’t do before. A teacher will bring new hope in August. What happens in September is akin to a big break. Someone who has been stubborn will finally respect your wishes. Your relationship with a Capricorn or Libra person will bring good fortune. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 25, 15, 43 and 1.
