Romney has pulled closer to Obama, but Casey has nearly 20-percentage-point lead. THUNDER CAPTURE GAME 1 OF FINALS Kevin Durant scored 17 of his 36 points in the fourth quarter, Russell Westbrook added 27 points and 11 assists, and the Oklahoma City Thunder rallied from a 13-point deficit to beat the Miami Heat 105-94 on Tuesday night in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. LeBron James, still chasing his first NBA title in his third MVP season, shined through three quarters and blew past Durant head-to-head several times before the Thunder switched their defense.

Gov. Tom Corbett scored his lowest approval rating ever, Mitt Romney pulled closer to President Barack Obama and U.S. Sen.

However, the most alarming has to be Corbett’s low job approval rating,” said Jeff Brauer, a political science professor at Keystone College in LaPlume. “While there is still plenty of time, it indicates that he may be the first governor to break the infamous cycle that Pennsylvania has been locked into for decades – alternating between two terms Republican and two terms Democrat.” Only 20 percent of Democrats approve of the job Corbett’s done, while 35 percent of independents said the same. Fiftyfive percent of Republicans approve the governor’s job performance. Fifty-one percent of women disapprove of Corbett while 32 percent approve. Men were

WILKES-BARRE – The flames on the candles held by the 100plus people who gathered 15 months ago at a candlelight vigil in Pittston for 48-year-old Lillian Calabro couldn’t compare to the warmth of Calabro’s heart, her daughter said Tuesday. “I have lost a mother and a best

friend. My life will never be the same again,” Christina Henderson told Arthur Stoss, convicted of first-degree murder in Calabro’s death and sentenced Tuesday to life in prison without parole. Stoss, 50, of Pittston Township, was convicted of the charge after a six-day jury trial in March. Judge William Amesbury was required by law to impose the sentence. Prosecutors say Stoss brutally attacked Calabro, of Pittston, at the Riverfront Park in Pittston on March 11, 2011. Her body was

Arthur Stoss arrives Tuesday at Luzerne County Court, where he was sentenced to life in prison for the March 2011 beating death of Lillian Calabro. Prosecutors say Stoss brutally attacked Calabro, of Pittston, at the Riverfront Park in Pittston on March 11, 2011. He then dumped her body and belongings into the river, authorities say.

Allegations fly over bonus Councilman claims other council members operating “secret government.” By SCOTT L. GOMB Times Leader Correspondent

PLYMOUTH – A mysterious phone caller alerted one councilman to the “secret government” he says is operating in Plymouth Borough. At Tuesday night’s meeting, Councilman Clif Madrack said the anonymous caller, in a strange voice, told him to look over the monthly bills for May. When he followed up on the tip, Madrack said he noticed a $7,354.92 bonus to Borough Coordinator Joe Mazur. The problem is, council never approved that payment and is doing things behind the scenes, he said. Madrack and Councilman William Dixon said Mazur sent a letter to council requesting a $5,000 bonus for extra work he did throughout the year and during the flooding in the borough last year. The letter said nothing about council paying the extra $2,354 in taxes on the bonus, and if it wasn’t for the anonymous call, no one would ev-

er have known about it, they said. “There’s a secret government here, and that’s the bottom line,” said Madrack. “They do whatever they want.” Council President Frank Coughlin said there’s nothing secret about it and that it was a simple mistake on his part. Mazur requested $5,000 clear, but the motion as read last month didn’t specify that. Council amended the motion on Tuesday and it was passed with Madrack and Dixon voting against. “I’m not trying to hide anything,” said Coughlin. “It was just worded wrong.” Still, Madrack and Dixon said they believe they are not being told everything that goes on in the borough and have to wait until the day of the monthly meeting to review bills and other paperwork. They also aren’t allowed access to Mazur’s office at the borough building or allowed to have keys to the borough garage. Reached after the meeting, Mazur said Madrack and Dixon’s complaints are politically motivated. They’ll never have keys to his office, he said. “They have no reason to be in

my office when I’m not there,” said Mazur. “Only the secretary is allowed in my office when I’m not there.” Mazur said he is paid $20,000 as the borough’s coordinator and is supposed to work only 20 hours per week. Instead, it’s turned into a 40-plus-hour-per-week job with no benefits, and he hasn’t received a raise since 2008. Mazur said he decided to ask for a one-time $5,000 bonus after all the hours he put in during the borough’s flood cleanup. “I was here 70 hours per week and more,” said Mazur. “This is the first time I’ve asked for anything.” Mazur took over as coordinator after Madrack left in 2004. Mazur was on council at the time and said Madrack earned $42,000 per year plus benefits when he held the position. Borough Solicitor Mike Kostelansky said it is perfectly legal for council to amend the motion to pay the tax on Mazur’s bonus.

DUPONT BOROUGH

Contract awarded for a new garage Penn State Construction will build structure for borough vehicles for $89,600. By GERI GIBBONS Times Leader Correspondent

DUPONT – Borough council on Tuesday awarded Penn State Construction the contract to build a garage to house borough vehicles. The company was the low bidder at $89,600. Council member Bernie Zielinski questioned council President Stanley Knick as to how long after the initial building project it would take to also add plumbing, heating and flooring to the structure. “First things first,” said Knick. “Let’s just get started.” In another matter, Solicitor Erik Dingle said he has been doing ini-

tial research in regard to drafting a burning ban ordinance. “Nothing is as simple as it seems,” said Dingle, stressing that any ordinance would need to be enforceable. He said the concern of the borough is offensive fumes that backyard fires generate, but he also would need to address gas sourced fires that do not emit any smell. He said he was in the process of reviewing similar ordinances in other areas and would report back council at its next meeting. Dingle also said the borough would cite residents for non-payment of sewage fees. He said he would work with Borough Manager Patricia McDonald to determine the feasibility and cost of bringing these cases to court. “At the very least, we will get a judgment in favor of the borough because the money is owed to us,”

Residents of Blueberry Hill Estates seek street lights

DURYEA – Borough council, with the meeting room newly furnished with sanded and stained pews bought from a church for resident seating, heard some concerns Tuesday evening about the lack of street lights in one development. At the work session before council’s monthly meeting, residents of Blueberry Hill Estates, led by Bill Yates of Huckleberry Lane, said it was a safety issue not to have lighting, and they said that’s been the case for the past five years.

Sanguedolce said Stoss punched Calabro in the face, then choked her to the point that she became unconscious. Stoss then took a rock, Sanguedolce said, and smashed Calabro’s skull in, dumping her belongings and body into the river. Stoss’ attorneys, Allyson Kacmarski and David Lampman, did not speak on behalf of the convicted man before sentencing, nor did Stoss address Amesbury or the Calabro family. At the time of his conviction, Stoss said he would be appealing his case to the state Superior

Court. Several of Calabro’s family members were in court to watch as Stoss received his sentence. Frank Calabro, Lillian Calabro’s brother, wrote a letter that he read out loud to Stoss, asking him if he understood in his “shallow, evil mind” what he did to the Calabro family. “You will burn in hell for your actions,” Frank Calabro said. He spoke of his sister getting her life back on track after a rough patch and becoming a part of their family more and more. Calabro’s brother wondered how it was possible Stoss was even out of prison and able to commit the heinous act of killing his sister, when he had previously been con-

victed of sexual assault crimes three separate times, as well as other offenses. “You are a vile human being who should have never been free,” Frank Calabro said. Henderson spoke of her 7-yearold son, growing up without his grandmother. She also spoke on the difficulty of continuing to live her life without the person with whom she shared all her secrets, hopes, dreams and most of her time. Because of Stoss’s “selfish and cancerous” actions, she will no longer be able to enjoy those things, she said. “We used to sing and dance…,” 7year-old Ashton told Amesbury. “I love (my grandmother) very much.”

Parole request denied A Luzerne County judge on Tuesday denied a request for parole from a Kingston woman jailed on charges she took more than $100,000 from her elderly aunt. Marisa Harlen, 31, appeared at a hearing before Judge Tina Polachek Gartley, after her attorney filed court papers in May requesting his client be released after serving half of Harlen her one-to-two-year prison sentence. Harlen was sentenced in October on a charge of receiving stolen property by Polachek Gartley, after police said she took the money when she held power of attorney for 79-year-old Louise Olenik. Attorney Anthony J. Moses said in the court filing that while on work release, Harlen has worked full time, paid restitution to her aunt and had no misconducts. If released on parole, Harlen will continue those activities and lead a “self-respecting and law-abiding life.”

LOCAL Trial will determine whether buyer of Kerr-McGee Corp. is liable for more than $15 billion in cleanup costs and civil damages

Hopes hinge on court By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

AVOCA – The hopes of thousands of area residents seeking damages from the former Kerr-McGee Corp.for health problems they claim were caused by environmental contamination are riding on the outcome of a federal bankruptcy trial in New York. The trial, which began last month, will determine whether Anadarko Pet-

roleum Co., which purchased parts of Kerr-McGee several years ago, is liable for more than $15 billion in cleanup costs and civil damages being sought by the U.S. government and people who allege their health problems, including cancer, were caused by toxins released by the company. The outcome of the trial is crucial to the injury claims of roughly 3,500 Avoca-area residents who filed suit against

Kerr-McGee in 2005 as it will significantly affect the amount of money that is available to pay any damages that may be awarded. The Kerr-McGee plant manufactured railroad ties from 1956 until it closed in 1996. The plaintiffs allege they developed health problems from toxic substances, including creosote, arsenic and

The Luzerne County assessor’s and sheriff’s offices will be swapping offices. Moving the sheriff’s office from the second floor of the River Street courthouse annex to the courthouse basement will increase security presence in the courthouse, officials said. The assessor’s office will be close to the recorder of deeds, which is on the first floor of the annex. The offices often serve the same customers, so the move will eliminate the need for the public Lawton to visit two different buildings, officials said. County Manager Robert Lawton said the moves are part of a larger initiative to locate companion offices together and reduce the county’s reliance on leased space. For example, the county’s tourist promotion office may move from a leased office on Public Square in Wilkes-Barre to vacant county-owned office space at the county recreation complex in Forty Fort,

In Luzerne County, three disciplinary actions were lodged by the Department of State: Board of Certified Real Estate Appraisers: Robert N. Bowers Jr., of Wilkes-Barre, was ordered to pay a civil penalty of $1,250 and costs of investigation totaling $75, and must attend and complete at least 30 hours of remedial educations. The board said he failed to complete an appraisal assignment within requirements. Board of Cosmetology: Get Nailed, Wilkes-Barre, was ordered to pay a civil penalty of $1,100 because it failed to display a sign that is clearly visible indicating to the public that it is a nail technology salon; practiced nail technology in a grossly incompetent and/ or unethical manner; and practiced nail technology in a grossly incompetent and/or unethical manner through the use of a metal razor tool. Board of Veterinary Medicine: Thomas Barret Lyle Wilson, of WilkesBarre, agreed to the voluntary surrender of his license to practice as a veterinarian in Pennsylvania because he engaged in unprofessional or unethical conduct, abused an animal, engaged in dishonest or illegal practices in or connected with the practice of veterinary medicine, and displayed incompetence, gross negligence or other malpractice.

NANTICOKE – Students at Luzerne County Community College will pay $96 per credit in tuition in the 2012-2013 school year, a $12 per credit increase over the current rate. The tuition increase, the first since the 2009-2010 academic year, was approved 13-0 at Tuesday’s meeting of the college’s board of trustees. Board member Paul Platukis was absent. The board also voted 13-0 to raise the technology fee $2 to $10 per credit and the general services fee $1 to $14 per credit. “Unfortunately, the time has come,” board Chairman Joseph Rymar said. “Because of the economy, because of some of the expenses we’re facing, it’s become a necessity.” The tuition hike will add about $2 million to the college’s operating budget, which is needed to make up increases in staff salary and benefits and other costs, Dean of Finance Joseph Gasper said.

PLYMOUTH – To appreciate veterans and the American flag, hear the story of Nicholas Vanbuskirk. Vanbuskirk, who is buried in the Shawnee Cemetery along Mountain Road, Plymouth, was a Union soldier in Company D of the 143rd Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry who fought

at the Battle of Gettysburg. Vanbuskirk is buried next to the new flag pole in the 109th Grand Army of the Republic section, where about 54 Civil War veterans are interred. More than 400 veterans are buried in the Shawnee – from the Revolutionary War through Vietnam. Having a flag pole is critical to honoring the veterans. When the 85-year-old cast iron flag pole weakened to the point that Tom and Ruth Jesso, volunteer caretakers, felt it was unsafe, they embarked on a fundraising campaign that

brought in more than $3,000, and the new pole was purchased and installed. The new pole will be dedicated Saturday. There is more to the story of Vanbuskirk. The flag bearer in his unit was a man named Benjamin Crippen of Dickson City. As the Union troops retreated and the Confederate soldiers advanced, Crippen stood holding Old Glory and shaking his fist at the enemy. He was DON CAREY/THE TIMES LEADER killed, said Steve Kondrad, Plymouth’s historian of sorts, as Volunteer caretakers at the Shawnee Cemetery will hold a See SHAWNEE, Page 14A

Syrian crowds attack observers

Situation in Haffa has raised alarm, and there are concerns civilians are stuck in area as fighting rages. By BASSEM MROUE Associated Press

BEIRUT — Angry crowds blocked U.N. observers from reaching an embattled rebel-held town in Syria on Tuesday, hurling stones and metal rods at the monitors’ vehicles. Their vehicles came under fire as they drove away from Haffa, but the source of the gunfire was not clear, the U.N. said. None of the observers was injured. Meanwhile, the Obama administration said Tuesday that Russia is sending attack helicopters to Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime and warned that the Arab country’s 15month conflict could become even deadlier.

NEW YORK

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said the U.S. was “concerned about the latest information we have that there are attack helicopters on the way from Russia to Syria.” She said the shipment “will escalate the conflict quite dramatically.” The situation in Haffa has raised alarm over the past eight days, and there are concerns civilians are stuck in the area while the regime and rebel fighters battle for control. Washington said Monday that regime forces may be preparing a massacre in rebel-held Haffa — a village about 20 miles from Assad’s hometown of Kardaha. It’s not clear why the crowd wanted to prevent the observers from entering, but the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said earlier that a resident of a nearby village was trying to block the observers. Citing a network of sources on the ground, the Observatory said the resi-

dents were mostly regime loyalists. Calls to the area did not go through Tuesday. The government restricts journalists from moving freely, making it nearly impossible to independently verify accounts from either side. Also Tuesday, Syrian forces pelted the eastern city of Deir el-Zour with

mortars as anti-government protesters were dispersing before dawn Tuesday, killing at least 10 people, activists said. The offensives were part of an escalation of violence in recent weeks that has brought more international pressure on Assad’s regime faces over its brutal tactics against the opposition.

PRESIDENT MAKES PITCH IN BALTIMORE

Ruling OKs Pa. gas pipeline

federal appeals court on Tuesday rejected a last-ditch bid by a coalition of environmental groups to stop the construction of a natural gas pipeline in Pennsylvania’s Endless Mountains. A three-judge panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled federal energy regulators properly approved the 39-mile MARC 1 pipeline through Bradford, Sullivan and Lycoming counties. The decision clears the way for the pipeline’s northern half to begin moving gas from the Marcellus Shale formation as early as next month. Some landowners have been fighting the company building the pipeline, contending that Central New York Oil & Gas refused to negotiate in good faith on either monetary compensation or the pipeline’s route. The court said the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s analysis of the pipeline’s impact on forests and migratory birds was sufficient, and that regulators “reasonably concluded” that broader impacts caused by natural gas development in the Marcellus should not factor into the analysis of the MARC 1 project.

KABUL, AFGHANISTAN

End to home strikes sought

Afghan President Hamid Karzai declared on Tuesday that NATO aircraft can no longer fire on homes under any circumstances, an indication that the conflict over NATO airstrikes that kill civilians, including one that left 18 dead last week, remains unresolved. Following an outcry over the attack in Logar province, which killed children, teenagers and adults, NATO imposed new limits on airstrikes aimed at houses, but still wants to use them to defend troops on the ground.

Cops vow to make arrest

Police vowed Tuesday to search again if they have to after a night of probing a house with tear gas and thermal sensors failed to find the suspect in a shooting near Auburn University that killed three people. Tactical teams left empty-handed early Tuesday after descending on the house the night before in search of Desmonte Leonard. He is charged with three counts of capital murder in a shooting Saturday during a party. He’s also accused of wounding three others. Auburn Police Chief Tommy Dawson said Leonard remains on the loose and vowed authorities “will not rest” until he is custody. He said the reward for Leonard’s capture had been bumped up to $30,000 and that state and federal authorities will continue their search. SAN JOSE, CALIF.

Kinkade fight goes to court

Thomas Kinkade’s widow and girlfriend have taken their dispute over the late painter’s estate to court. Amy Pinto-Walsh was living with Kinkade and found his body when he overdosed on alcohol and Valium in April. She asked a Northern California judge on Tuesday to allow arguments over the artist’s contested will to be heard in open probate court. Lawyers for Kinkade’s wife of 30 years, Nanette Kinkade, want the terms to be decided in secret binding arbitration. The San Jose Mercury News reports that Pinto-Walsh has submitted handwritten notes allegedly written by Kinkade bequeathing her his mansion in Monte Sereno and $10 million to establish a museum of his paintings there. A July 2 hearing is scheduled to determine the veracity of the notes.

Verizon revamps wireless pricing By PETER SVENSSON AP Technology Writer

NEW YORK — Verizon Wireless, the nation’s largest cellphone company, is dropping nearly all of its phone plans in favor of pricing schemes that encourage consumers to connect their nonphone devices, like tablets and PCs, to Verizon’s network. The new plans become available June 28, and reflect Verizon’s desire to keep growing although nearly all Americans already have a phone. The plans let families and other share a monthly data allowance over up to 10 devices.

It’s the biggest revamp in wireless pricing in years, and one likely to be copied by other carriers. AT&T Inc. already said it’s looking at introducing shared-data plans soon. In the first quarter, phone companies, for the first time, reported a drop in phones on contract-based plans, which are the most lucrative. To keep service revenues rising, the companies are betting on increased data usage, which means getting more devices on their networks. Verizon’s new “Share Everything” plans, announced Tuesday, include unlimited

phone calls and texting, and will start at $90 per month for one smartphone and 1 gigabyte of data. If used only with a smartphone, “Share Everything” prices are lower than for current plans with unlim-

ited calling and texting, but higher than plans with limited calling and texting. The plans will push many subscribers toward spending more, by including unlimited calling and texting by default.

Organization ties diesel fumes to cancer The Associated Press

LONDON — Diesel exhaust causes cancer, the World Health Organization’s cancer agency declared Tuesday, a ruling it said could make exhaust as important a public health threat as secondhand smoke. The risk of getting cancer from diesel fumes is small, but since so many people breathe in the fumes in some way, the science panel said raising the

status of diesel exhaust to carcinogen from “probable carcinogen” was an important shift. “It’s on the same order of magnitude as passive smoking,” said Kurt Straif, director of the IARC department that evaluates cancer risks. “This could be another big push for countries to clean up exhaust from diesel engines.” Since so many people are exposed to exhaust, Straif said

there could be many cases of lung cancer connected to the contaminant. He said the fumes affected groups including pedestrians on the street, ship passengers and crew, railroad workers, truck drivers, mechanics, miners and people operating heavy machinery. AP FILE PHOTO The new classification followed a weeklong discussion in The World Health Organization’s cancer agency has deterLyon, France, by an expert pan- mined that diesel exhaust causes cancer. It’s raised the status of diesel exhaust from ‘probable carcinogen’ to carcinogen. el .

SANDUSKY Continued from Page 1A

Sandusky, 68, is on trial on charges he molested 10 boys over a 15-year period. Authorities say he abused them in hotels, at his home and inside the football team’s quarters. The former assistant coach and founder of an acclaimed youth charity has denied the allegations. Paterno was fired last fall, shortly after Sandusky’s arrest, when it became known that McQueary had told the head football coach about the shower episode a decade ago. Two months after his dismissal, Paterno died of lung cancer at 85. McQueary was composed during his testimony, and when asked if he knew Sandusky, he looked right at him with a sharp glance that Sandusky returned. McQueary’s account differed little from the one he gave in December at a preliminary hearing for two Penn State administrators charged with failing to report the shower episode to authorities. One difference: He said it took place in 2001 instead of 2002. Sandusky attorney Karl Rominger pressed McQueary during cross-examination about discrepancies in his estimate of the boy’s age. McQueary replied: “If (you) want to argue about 9, 10, 11, 12 ...

the fact is he had sex with a minor, a boy.” Testifying on Day 2 of Sandusky’s trial, McQueary said he went to the football team building one night and walked into the support staff locker room to put away a pair of new sneakers. As he entered the locker room, he said, he heard a noise. “Very much skin-on-skin smacking sound,” he said. “I immediately became alert and was kind of embarrassed that I was walking in on something.” He said that he glanced over his shoulder at a mirror at a 45-degree angle and saw Sandusky “standing behind a boy who was propped up against a wall.” He estimated the boy to be 10 to 12 years old. He said that the boy’s hands were up on the wall and “the defendant’s midsection was moving” subtly. “The glance would have taken only one or two seconds. I immediately turned back to my locker to make sure I saw what I saw,” he said. He said he wasn’t sure whether Sandusky saw him. After slamming his locker to make some noise, he left. “It was more than my brain could handle,” he said. “I was making decisions on the fly. I picked up the phone and called my father to get advice from the person I trusted most in my life, because I just saw something ridiculous.” He said he was extremely vague with his father, who told

him to leave immediately. McQueary said he went to Paterno’s house the next morning and relayed what he had seen, but did not describe the act explicitly out of respect for the coach and his own embarrassment. He said Penn State administrator Tim Curley called him a week later, and McQueary met with him and another school official, Gary Schultz. They “just listened to what I had said,” McQueary

testified. A week or two later, he said, Curley called him to say they had looked into it. McQueary, 37, was a graduate coaching assistant at the time and later became an assistant coach. He has been on paid leave since the scandal erupted. The identity of the boy who was said to have been in the showers is a mystery to prosecutors. In fact, two of the 10 alleged victims have yet to be located or even

identified. Earlier Tuesday, the teenager who triggered the grand jury investigation that rocked Penn State became the second of the alleged victims to take the stand. Choking back tears, he said that Sandusky kissed him, fondled him and engaged in oral sex with him during numerous sleepovers in the basement of Sandusky’s home while the coach’s wife was upstairs. The accuser, labeled Victim No.1by a grand jury, said he eventually confided in a school district guidance counselor that Sandusky was molesting him, only to be told by school officials: “He has a heart of gold, and he wouldn’t do something like that.” “So they didn’t believe me,” the teenager said. School officials ultimately referred the case to the county’s child-welfare agency, which found his account credible. Now 18, he told the jury about an early encounter with Sandusky that escalated to oral sex. “I spaced,” he said. “I didn’t

know what to do with all the thoughts running through my head, I just kind of blacked out and didn’t want it to happen. I froze.” He said he stayed quiet about the abuse, in part because his mother thought Sandusky was a positive influence, but he began trying to distance himself from Sandusky. Sandusky got angry with him because they had drifted apart, and things escalated into an argument between the boy’s mother and Sandusky, the teenager said. “I got extremely, extremely scared,” he said. Eventually the teen asked his mother if there was a website used to track sex offenders because he wanted to see if Sandusky was on it. That led to a meeting with the guidance counselor. Jessica Dershem, a child-welfare caseworker who spoke to Sandusky, testified that the coach denied having sexual contact with the boy but did acknowledge lying on top of him and blowing “raspberries” on the boy’s belly.

June 11, 2012

June 5, 2012

N. Kmush, 97, of Plymouth, L ottie passed into the hands of the

Lord on Monday evening, June 11, 2012. Born June 24, 1914, in Plymouth, she was a daughter of the late John and Hedwig Piscotty. She attended Plymouth schools. She was a member of All Saints Parish of Plymouth, and St. Stanislaus Ladies Auxiliary of St. Mary’s Nativity Church, Plymouth. Lottie will be remembered as a wonderful mother and a loving grandmother, who took pride in her grandchildren. She was an excellent cook, who made the best pierogies. She was always willing to share her homemade delicacies with her family and friends. Her family will miss the weekly gatherings at her home, where food and laughter were enjoyed by all.

‘Gone With the Wind’ actress Rutherford dies

By ROBERT JABLON Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Ann Rutherford, the demure brunette actress who played the sweetheart in the long-running Andy Hardy series and Scarlett O’Hara’s youngest sister in “Gone With the Wind,” has died. She was 94. A close friend, Anne Jeffreys, said she was at Rutherford’s side when the actress died Monday evening at home in Beverly Hills. Rutherford died of heart problems and had been ill for several months, Jeffreys said. “She was a dear person, a very funny lady, wonderful heart, was always trying to do things for people,” said Jeffreys, a leading lady of many films of the 1940s and a star of the 1950s TV sitcom “Topper.” Rutherford was a frequent guest at “Gone With the Wind” celebrations in Georgia and, as one of the few remaining actors from the mo-

Monsignor Conlan, son of the late Dr. Francis J. and Mary Allan Conlan, was born in West Pittston on April 17, 1929. He graduated from Wyoming Seminary, Kingston, and began his priestly formation at Saint Mary’s Seminary and University in Baltimore, Md., and completed his studies at the North American College in Rome, Italy.

GOP: Get prosecutor for leaks

By RICHARD A. SERRANO Tribune Washington Bureau (MCT)

WASHINGTON -- Angry Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee asserted that Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. should turn the criminal investigation into leaks of classified material over to a special prosecutor because they did not trust his Department of Justice to be impartial. But Holder pledged that the two U.S. attorneys he assigned to handle the leak investigation have “shown a Holder willingness to take on difficult cases” and are the right people to lead two teams of FBI agents and federal prosecutors examining whether administration officials broke the law by revealing classified information. FBI Director Robert Mueller III and Holder have already been separately questioned by agents assigned to the investigation, “a serious interview that was done by some serious FBI agents,” Holder said. But Senate Republicans strongly urged Holder to seek a special prosecutor outside the Justice Department and Obama administration to investigate the leaks of material about “kill lists” for drones and cyber warfare that later turned up in The New York Times and other publications. They said they were extremely unhappy with having U.S. attorneys Rod J. Rosenstein of Maryland and Ronald C. Machen Jr. in Washington, D.C., oversee the leak investigations. Both Rosenstein and Machen were nominated to their posts by President Barack Obama. Sen. John Cornyn of Texas called for Holder to resign, saying he also is upset with the attorney general’s refusal to turn over subpoenaed documents to a House committee investigating the Fast and Furious gun-tracking scandal. Holder responded, “I don’t have any intention of resigning.”

Alleged accomplice waives her hearing Police: Ashley Evans, 22, aided William Gronosky after he shot at an officer.

Kathleen Jordan, 49, of Pringle, gets 14 to 28 years for killing Milo “Butch” Reilly.

By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A woman city police say helped William Gronosky escape capture after he allegedly “blasted away” at a pursuing police officer waived her right to a preliminary hearing in Wilkes-Barre Central Court on Tuesday. Ashley Evans, 22, of Nanticoke, waived charges of hindering apprehension and obstruction of justice to Luzerne County Court. City police allege Evans picked up Gronosky, 29, her livein boyfriend, after he abandoned a stolen Ford Focus near Thornhurst, Lackawanna County, and gave him a ride to a Park Avenue residence in Wilkes-Barre on March 26. A city police officer was chasing Gronosky after a reported home invasion on Church Street, Hanover Township, where township police say he stole the Ford. During the pursuit, Gronosky “blasted away,” emptying two clips at the officer, according to charges filed. Gronosky is scheduled for a

said. Kingston police had charged Reilly in December 2010, just a few months before his murder, with assaulting Jordan during a domestic dispute at their residence. Assistant District Attorney Nancy Violi said alcohol is not an excuse for what happened that night, and Jordan drank no more alcohol the night of the murder than any other day. “(The shooting) happened because of her anger, not alcohol,” Violi said. Violi cited a letter Jordan wrote to Amesbury describing her version of the events. Jordan wrote that a gun was in her hand, she pointed it at him and that it “just went off.” The gun fired a second time at a wall. “It was a pump-action shotgun,” Violi said. “That type of gun just doesn’t go off. It was the decision she made (to pull the trigger).” Jordan is the mother of two

children, a daughter who recently graduated from college and a son enlisted in the Army who has served in Iraq. Several of her family members were present in court. Her daughter addressed Amesbury, as did the husband of her niece. Reilly’s sister, Kathleen Martin, spoke before Jordan’s sentencing, saying she’ll never forget the horrific night she got the call that her brother was shot. “I miss our daily chats, and him (stopping by) saying ‘Hey, sis,’ ” Martin said. Martin said family gatherings are no longer the same, and Jordan has never showed any remorse for her actions. “We ask that she is sentenced to the maximum,” Martin said.

HARRISBURG — The ranking Republican in the state Senate is backing a plan to expand the sale of liquor and wine in Pennsylvania, the bill’s sponsor said Tuesday, while a bill to privatize the industry remained stalled in the House. Senate President Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati is co-sponsoring a bill that would allow thousands of taverns, restaurants and other establishments licensed to sell glasses of wine and spirits to buy a special license to sell those products by the bottle as well. The bill would leave the 620 state stores open and preserve the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board, which could choose to close state stores that are rendered unprofitable by competition, said Sen. Chuck McIlhinney, the bill’s sponsor.

and was planning to “shoot it out” with police. • State police charged Evans with coercing a friend to give Gronosky a rented Chevrolet Cruze, which was parked near the Carousel Lounge on April 13. Gronosky fired at least two shotgun blasts at a trooper when he was spotted leaving in the Chevrolet. • Gronosky and Williams were captured by Montgomery Township police when they were spotted inside a convenient store in Montgomery County on April 15.

“You could see what works,” the Bucks County Republican said. The bill also would allow beer distributors to obtain a license authorizing them to sell sixpacks, 18-packs or even single bottles of beer, McIlhinney said. They now may sell only cases and kegs. In a statement issued through McIlhinney’s office, Scarnati, R-Jefferson, said the legislation “represents a significant step towards enhanced consumer choice and convenience.” On Monday night, the House spent three hours debating a bill to privatize beer and liquor sales — by replacing the state-owned liquor stores with 1,600 state-licensed, privately run stores — but it took no action on the measure Tuesday.

WILKES-BARRE – A Pringle woman charged in the March 2011 shooting death of her boyfriend was sentenced Tuesday to 14 to 28 years in prison, in what her attorney called an alcoholfueled shooting.

Reilly was on a bed, Jordan told investigators, when she reached into a closet and grabbed a loaded shotgun that she fired at his head, according to court papers. Jordan said she tried to clean up some blood and drank a beer before running to her sister’s home in Luzerne, where police were called. Jordan’s attorney, Demetrius Fannick, said his client was under the influence of alcohol the night of the shooting, and has abused alcohol for years. He said Jordan routinely drank several alcoholic drinks per night, and her 18-month relationship with Reilly revealed evidence of abuse. “They (would) get drunk together.

Pension denied for former county chief deputy clerk

ROSS TOWNSHIP

Gray Road repaving bids sought

County Community Development grant awarded to complete the project. By SARAH HITE shite@timesleader.com

ROSS TWP. – The board of supervisors approved a motion Tuesday to advertise for bids to resurface a portion of Gray Road. The township was awarded a Luzerne County Office of Com-

munity Development grant to complete the project. The project was originally targeted for Patla Road, but Supervisor Stan Davis said a timbering business is supposed to perform work there this year. “We didn’t want the fresh pavement to be destroyed by big trucks,” he said. Secretary Terry Davis said the township is scheduled to receive about $100,000. The bids will be awarded at the July meeting.

W H AT ’ S N E X T

The next Ross Township Board of Supervisors meeting will be at 7 p.m. July 3 in the municipal building.

About 4,430 feet of Gray Road will be affected. Stan Davis said he hopes the project will be concluded before the 2012-13 school year begins to avoid complications with bus traffic. The board also approved the

The township is in the process of switching its pension system from the Pennsylvania State Association of Township Supervisors program to the municipal retirement system. Stan Davis said this is because the administration fees were less expensive with the latter system.

By TERRIE MORGAN-BESCKER tmorgan@timeleader.com

SCRANTON – A former Luzerne County official who pleaded guilty to accepting a bribe is not entitled to receive pension benefits, a federal judge ruled Tuesday. U.S. District Judge A. Richard Caputo dismissed a lawsuit filed by former chief deputy clerk Bill Brace, finding that Brace forfeited his right to his pension when he pleaded guilty in 2010 to accepting a tailor-made suit in exchange for helping a company obtain a contract with the county. The county’s retirement board had denied Brace his pension based on the state’s pension forfeiture act, which precludes a public employee convicted of certain state crimes related to their employment from receiving a pension. The law applies to federal convictions in which the crimecommittedis“substantially similar” to the state law crimes detailed in the forfeiture act. In Brace’s case, the county argued Brace’s guilty plea to corrupt receipt of a reward for official action was substantially similar to the state crime of bribery in official and public matters. Brace’s attorney, Carl Poveromo, argued the crimes differed

SALEM TOWNSHIP

Fire company president suggests PPL donate $4,000 a month By TOM HUNTINGTON Times Leader Correspondent

SALEM TWP. – Township fire company President Ron Kuczinski said the company needs financial help and proposed to the supervisors Tuesday that PPL provide a $4,000 per month donation to offset the cost of facilities, training and apparatus. He made an appeal in discussions centering on the possible construction of a third unit at Susquehanna Steam Electric Station. Rationalizing that the township could be a first responder in the event of an incident or emergency at the nuclear-fueled power plant, Kuczinski reasoned the fire company is in need of a new building, repairs to current apparatus and the purchase of new

equipment that he said has been estimated at $4.6 million. Kuczinski said the company has an annual budget of $85,000, which is financed through direct mail donations, carnivals and festivals. The annual Beach Haven carnival and fireworks is scheduled for late June and early July. Another $2,000 per year in fuel reimbursement comes from the supervisors. That reimbursement was unanimously approved for this year Tuesday. Supervisors Robert Pearce and Josh Kishbaugh said it might be premature to make a request of PPL, but they did agree it would be a reasonable proposal. Afterward, Pearce said discussions between PPL and the township have not been conducted

with the planned Unit III being a specific topic. He did comment, however, that PPL officials have been making inquiries about zoning regulations and they have been engaged in land acquisitions. In other action: • Zoning officer Karen Karchner said demolition began this week of a burned-out structure at 531 E. Front St. Karchner said the structure, adjacent to the famed Crispin Mansion, was purchased from Karen Golden, of Arizona, by Crispin Valve LLC of Berwick and Salem Township. • The supervisors tabled a re-

Pearce said supervisors need a more detailed invoice before paying. • Supervisors unanimously elected Brian Yohe and Sam Groome to the zoning hearing board. Rich Weaver was selected as an alternate. • Pearce was successful in a proposal to seek bids for the installation of a new air conditioning system at the municipal building on Bombay Lane. The current system, township manager Vickie Moyer said, is malfunctioning and in need of immediate repair. • A payment of $2,390 was made to the Flyway Co. for dredging work on Thompson Run.

Poveromo said the federal crime could be Brace committed simply by accepting a reward after the fact, whereas the state crime required an intent to seek a benefit before, and as a condition of, taking an official action that benefits the person giving the bribe. Caputo acknowledged there are differences in the laws, but said he believes they are similar enough to trigger the forfeiture act. “While the crimes are not identical … both statutes criminalize the conduct of a public official that solicits, accepts, or agrees to accept something of value that is offered to the individual based on his or her status as a public official,” Caputo said. Caputo also dismissed Brace’s claims that he was denied due process because he was not provided a hearing before his pension was terminated. The judge ruled Brace was not entitled to such a hearing. Poveromo said Tuesday he needed to speak to Brace before deciding whether to appeal the ruling. The county was represented by attorney Joel Wolff of Elliott, Greenleaf & Siedzikowski in Scranton, and Donald Karpovich of Drums.

OTHER OPINION: SUPREME COURT

Justice marred by ugly politics

EFORE THE END of the month, the U.S. Supreme Court will issue its opinion on the signature legislative achievement of the Obama administration: the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. But whether the law passes constitutional muster or not, many Americans are going to suspect that politics had something to do with it. That is a sad situation, even in an age when distrust of all institutions – in and outside government – is at a peak. But the findEDITORIAL BOARD

ings of a recent public opinion poll by The New York Times and CBS News show how far the rot of cynicism has spread. Threequarters believe the justices are sometimes influenced by their personal or political views. Wouldn’t it be reassuring if the conservatives and liberals on the court surprised us by reaching a fair and impartial decision, regardless of the outcome – something with more consensus than the usual 5-4 ideological split?

As Luzerne County’s budget goes, so goes the state CITIES, COUNTIES and school districts are facing a one-two punch: simultaneous drops in property tax revenue and state aid. The blows come even as demand for services is growing. This fiscal squeeze – not seen since 1980 – has resulted in painful choices for local governments large and small. For instance, high schools in Portland, Ore., have replaced class time with study halls supervised by teaching assistants or other adults. Foley, Minn., near Minneapolis, stopped paying county sheriff’s deputies to patrol streets and hired private security guards who do not have the authority to investigate crimes. Los Angeles’ 2012 budget eliminated ambulances and fire trucks at one in four fire stations throughout the city. These consequences of the country’s economic crisis are no secret. Far less obvious, however, has been the impact on the fiscal relationship between cities and states. As detailed in a new report, “The Local Squeeze,” from Pew’s American Cities Project, the economic fates of state and local governments – and their ability to maintain quality services – often are intertwined. Strong cities are essential to creating jobs and industries that produce a healthy, stable tax base for state services. And the reverse is also true: cities in severe fiscal distress can put a drag on state budgets and economic growth. While municipal bankruptcies are rare – less than 0.5 percent of localities issuing debt have gone through bankruptcy since 1980 – localities with particularly troubled budgets

ue to the Southern Poverty Law Center’s hysterical and distorted “reporting” of my election to a GOP county committee position, I have made national news. It’s a shame that any news media outlet would consider the law center a credible source given its track record of slander and hyperbole. The Social Contract Journal has extensively covered the misdeeds and underhanded tactics of the law center in its spring 2010 issue. My only guess is that most of the mainstream media are more interested in sensational headlines than reporting the facts. I admit that I have made mistakes in my past, but the law center’s ad hominem attacks and distortion of my background goes beyond the pale. According to its own report, the law center gets some of its information from a radical Marxist group that advocates violence against its political opponents and

gleefully reports on the deaths of conservatives such as Andrew Breitbart and Ronald Reagan with a “rot in hell” sendoff on its website. I guess these disgusting antics do not qualify as “hate” by the law center’s standards. I would be willing to bet dollars to doughnuts that if I supported open borders, amnesty for illegal immigrants and affirmative action, the law center would not write a “hit piece” on me. In fact, it probably would give me an award and my past would be nothing more than a footnote.

split, with 40 percent approving and 43 percent disapproving. Seventeen percent of both men and women did not have an answer or weren’t sure. Obama, on the other hand, can thank strong support from women and independent voters in the state for his 46 to 40 percent edge over former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, the presumed GOP nominee. The matchup compares to a 47 to 39 percent Obama lead in a May 3 survey by the independent polling institute based in Hamden, Conn.

The Quinnipiac poll conducted earlier this month asked state residents “In general, how satisfied are you with the way things are going in Pennsylvania today; are you very satisfied, somewhat satisfied, somewhat dissatisfied, or very dissatisfied?” • Forty-seven percent of Northeast Pennsylvania residents said they were satisfied. • The same percentage of Philadelphia voters said the same.

• Forty-five percent of southeastern Pennsylvania residents said they were satisfied; • Forty-three percent of central Pennsylvanians were satisfied; • Thirty-eight percent said they were in Allegheny County; • Thirty-seven percent in northwestern Pennsylvania; • Thirty-five percent of those in southwestern Pennsylvania.

Women back Obama 51 to 36 percent, while men lean toward Romney 44 to 40 percent. Obama leads 83 to 10 percent among Democrats and 43 to 35 percent among independent voters,

while Republican voters back Romney 80 to 7 percent. “Obama’s significant lead especially among independent voters has taken Pennsylvania out of the swing state

The cemetery, founded in 1870, is the final resting place for many of the pioneers who settled in Plymouth.

Robotic robot carts would lift the platforms from beneath and move them to and from parking spaces in 90 seconds or less, according to a video Hayden showed at the meeting. Hayden said the garage could improve student safety, as students must presently cross a parking garage, an alley and railroad tracks to access the campus from the current student parking area. Rymar said the idea “is worth pursuing” and asked President Thomas Leary to appoint a team to discuss the proposal with Yannuzzi. The board also elected new officers for the 2012-2013 academic year. Elaine Cook will serve as chairwoman, Barry Williams will be vice chairman and Carmen Magistro will be board secretary.

Tronox reached a settlement with the government in 2011 that called for it to pay $270 million, of which $25 million would go toward a litigation fund to pay civil claims.

While Obama and Romney are within single digits, Casey, D-Scranton, starts the summer with a 19-point lead over Republican challenger Tom Smith, a former coal company owner from Armstrong County. Fifty-one percent of those polled said they’d vote for Casey, while 32 percent would vote for Smith. Seventeen percent were undecided. The poll results have a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points. It was conducted using live interviewers calling land lines and cellphones.

“Our department as a whole is safety-centered,” Barrett said. “I’m a safety professional, not a security professional, and my number one priority is the safety of the college and the students.” The college’s website says the department provides a variety of safety and security services, including on-campus safety escorts, emergency alerts, parking enforcement and educational services. The board said it could hear Westhoff’s proposal but asked him to submit a right-to-know request for the information he requested and to first approach the school administration with his proposal. Board member George Hayden also presented information about an automated parking garage proposed to be built off Broad Street in Hazleton, cattycorner from the college’s Hazleton satellite campus. The city is planning to use a $4.8 million allocation of state gaming funds, approved in 2010, to build the parking system in the Church Street Station. Hayden said Hazleton Mayor Joe Yannuz-

There’s still much more to be done, but putting more mental-health staff on the job is a positive start,” Casey said. In a survey of veterans earlier this year by the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, twothirds of those questioned said veterans are not getting the

The U.S. government intervened in the case, alleging Kerr-McGee created

President Obama hasn’t lived up to his promises on the economy, the most important issue in this campaign, and this poll demonstrates voters trust

college’s Campus Security Department. Westhoff said his company has provided security at NASCAR races, including the Pocono 400, and the Indianapolis 500, though not on college campuses. He said he would prepare a proposal at his company’s expense and said the service would still need to be bid publicly should the college decide to outsource the service. “At the end of the day, if the company that wins the bid achieves and maintains that quality of security on campus and does so on a more cost-effective basis, the college and taxpayers still win,” Westhoff said. College Security Director Bill Barrett also attended the meeting and gave board members information about services his department provides. Barrett said the department “has evolved into a safety and security department” providing both college-owned security at the Nanticoke main campus and contracted security at satellite campuses.

“It will give us additional people to pull during high volume periods and emergencies,” Robshaw said. County Assessment Director Tony Alu said he and Robshaw developed the idea because the new setup benefits the public and operations.

The college is now ninth of 14 community colleges in the state by tuition costs, and is significantly cheaper than some in the Philadelphia area, which cost more than $150 per credit. The board also heard preliminary proposals to outsource its security and to partner with the city of Hazleton in a robotic parking garage and classroom space. Tim Westhoff, vice president of sales and marketing for security company BCM Solutions Inc., requested information about the college’s safety and security budget to determine whether his private security company can provide equivalent or enhanced security at a lower price than the

Last year, the VA provided mental-health services to 1.3 million veterans. Since 2009, the VA has increased the mentalhealth care budget by 39 percent. Since 2007, the VA has seen a 35 percent increase in the number of veterans receiving mentalhealth services, and a 41-percent increase in mental-health staff.

If he rules in favor of Tronox, the federal government would be entitled to recover 88 percent of the judgment, which would go toward cleanup costs at numerous plants in several states. The remaining 12 percent would go to a litigation fund set up to pay civil damages for persons claiming health problems.

with the Heat falling to 4-4 on the road in these playoffs. Game 2 is Thursday on the Thunder’s homecourt before the only playoff round played on a 2-3-2 basis moves to AmericanAirlines Arena on Sunday night for the start of three games on the Heat’s court. This was the 11th meeting between James and Thunder, with James 7-2 coming in, all in the regular season. But in the one that mattered most, their first career playoff meeting, it was advantage Durant, who shot 6 of 7 on 3-pointers. For a while, the Heat hardly had the look of a team coming off an emotional Game 7 victory Saturday over the Boston Celtics. Instead, it was Shane Battier hitting 3-pointers, Udonis Haslem hoarding rebounds and James seemingly on the way to something bigger. But, at the finish, the Thunder did to the Heat what they did to the San Antonio Spurs in the previous round, using a second half as their takeoff point,

OKLAHOMA CITY — Eventually, it all caught up to the Miami Heat. The relentless youth of the Oklahoma City Thunder that wasn’t going to allow an early 13- point deficit to get them down. The fool’s gold of early outside Heat success while the Thunder were building inside dominance. The inability of Dwyane Wade to step up from early struggles the way Thunder guard Russell Westbrook did in the second quarter. And, just like that, there was a 105-94 loss Tuesday night at Chesapeake Energy Arena and a 1-0 deficit in these bestof-seven NBA Finals. Forward Kevin Durant led the Thunder with 36 points, offsetting a careerFinals-high 30 points from Heat forward LeBron James. But while Thunder guard Russell Westbrook was able to step up with 27 points, Heat guard Dwyane Wade was limited to 19. With the victory, the Thunder improved to 9-0 at home this postseason, See THUNDER, Page 3B

WASHINGTON — The dozen Washingtonians who will decide Roger Clemens’ fate heard a day of closing arguments stuffed with attention-getting sound bites. The eight women and four men who mostly care little about baseball then began deliberations Tuesday that will impact one of the most successful pitchers of his generation — and, in a way, the criminal pursuit of athletes accused of illegal doping. “You,” prosecutor Gil Guerrero told the jurors, “are the final umpires here.” They heard a clever line about Clemens being “a Cy Young baseball player” but not “a Cy Young witness.” They heard the key witness called “a flawed man” who produced evidence from a “magic beer can.” There were asked to debate whether it’s “outrageous” that Clemens was charged in See CLEMENS, Page 4B

KINGS

Michigan to ‘unretire’ 3 jerseys

Continued from Page 1B

By LARRY LAGE AP Sports Writer

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — College football’s winningest school is putting three of its five retired jerseys back on the field, honoring former President Gerald Ford, Bennie Oosterbaan and Ron Kramer as “Michigan Football Legends,” this year. Receiver Junior Hemingway wore a patch on his No. 21 jersey last season, honoring Desmond Howard as the first “Michigan Football Legend,” and Roy Roundtree will wear it this year. A current player to be determined by the football staff will start wearing Ford’s 48, Oosterbaan’s 47 and Kramer’s 87 after each former star is honored with a ceremony. “The success and acceptance of the Desmond Howard Legend recognition led to conversations with the family members who had retired jerseys, several of whom were never recognized or celebrated in the appropriate manner,” Brandon said in a statement. “The Ford, Kramer and Oosterbaan families want to see their family member honored in this way.” Tom Harmon’s No. 98 and No. 11, which was worn by brothers Francis, Albert and Alvin Wistert, are the other two jerseys that have been retired. “We have yet to have any discussions with the Wistert or Harmon families,” Brandon said. “This program is about tradition and legacy and this is a unique way to recognize these great Wolverines.” Michigan coach Brady Hoke told Birmingham, Ala., radio station WJOX earlier in the day that one of his players would wear Ford’s retired jersey this season after a caller asked if someone would wear No. 1, made famous by Anthony Carter and later worn by Braylon Edwards. Michigan tentatively plans to put Oosterbaan’s jersey back into circulation on Sept. 8 during the home opener against Air Force, Kramer’s the next week against Massachusetts and Ford’s on Oct. 13 against Illinois in the homecoming game.

Colin Curtis, Ronnier Mustelier and Kevin Russo each supplied two-hit efforts. Russo doubled and scored three runs. Mustelier drove in a run and tallied two scores. In a spot start, David Robertson continued his rehab assignment with one inning of scoreless work. Robertson struck out one batter and did not allow any runners. Justin Thomas recorded his first save for the Yankees. Thomas came in relief of a rocky performance by Chase Whitley. Whitley gave up three earned runs in an inning.

No despair with this defeat

Devils proud of the way they rebounded from playoff miss to reach the Cup finals. By TOM CANAVAN AP Sports Writer

NEWARK, N.J. — After losing the Stanley Cup Finals to the Colorado Avalanche in 2001, and failing to win consecutive titles, a frustrated and miffed Martin Brodeur refused to talk to the media. In many ways, Marty is a lot different 11 years later. The ever-present smile is still there ... even after a loss. Not only did the three-time Cup winning goaltender talk to reporters after the Devils were eliminated from the final round Monday night by the Los Angeles Kings in six games, the 40year-old said just what Devils’ fans wanted to hear after this magical season — he wants another season in New Jersey. And why not? A year after missing the playoffs for the first time since 1996, the Devils returned to the elite ranks of the NHL under new coach Peter DeBoer, only to come up two wins shy of what would have been the franchise’s fourth Cup. Along the way, the resurgent Devils had a 102-point regular season and three 30-goal scorers. And they knocked off the Panthers, DeBoer’s former team, along with the rival Flyers and Rangers in winning the Eastern Conference for the first time since 2003. Eventually, they fell victim to the Kings’ first championship in their 45-year history. But even in defeat, these Devils were exciting, coming back from an 0-3 deficit to become only the third team in NHL history to force a Game 6 after losing the first three. “It’s disappointing, but it’s been a great season for the Devils,” Brodeur said. “We came a

youthful energy in abundance. Despite the loss, James joined Michael Jordan and Shaquille O’Neal as the only players to score 30 or more in four consecutive series-opening games, having done it against the New York Knicks, Indiana Pacers and Boston Celtics. With Westbrook giving their Thunder their first lead of the night on their final possession of the third quarter, the Thunder used a 9-0 run that bridged the third and fourth quarters to pull away. Even with Battier scoring a 2012 postseason high 17 points, the Heat didn’t have enough. With the Heat growing stagnant and the Thunder continuing to push the pace, Oklahoma City recovered from a 54-47 halftime deficit to tie it 60-60 on a Thabo Sefolosha layup with 6:44 to play in the third period, yet to take a lead to that point. The Heat opened the second half 1 of 5 from the field. The Thunder then took their first lead of the night on a Westbrook drive that he turned into a

long way to challenge for the Stanley Cup from not making the playoffs last year. There’s only one team that can win, it’s not us this time, but we’re proud of what we’ve done.” Using a more aggressive forecheck, DeBoer turned the Devils into a more entertaining team, one that now seems capable of vying for the Cup on an annual basis. It’s a big change from a year ago, when many wondered whether president and general manager Lou Lamoriello had lost his touch and the once-proud team was on a downward spiral. The good days are back, though Lamoriello has a ton of work to do before the start of next season. The biggest concern is the future of captain Zach Parise, who can become an unrestricted free agent next month. He is the heartbeat of the team. “No one expected us to be here. We played hard, and we all believed in each other and what we tried to do,” Parise said. “No one expected us to beat the Flyers, to beat the Rangers, and we did. In the end, we just came up short here.” Brodeur’s contract is up, as are those of backup goaltender Johan Hedberg, defensemen Bryce Salvador and Peter Harrold. and forwards Petr Sykora and Alexei Ponikarovsky. Also, the entire fourth line of Ryan Carter, Stephen Gionta and Steve Bernier are due new contracts, if Lamoriello so chooses. That line surprised many in the postseason, though it will be hard to forget Bernier’s fiveminute boarding penalty early in Game 6 that led to three Kings goals and basically decided the Cup. Starting defenseman Mark Fayne, who played every game this season, is a restricted free agent, as well, and will likely remain with the team. As the Kings celebrated on the ice Monday, Brodeur, tucked away in the visiting lock-

er room, made it clear he wants to play next season and his top choice is to stay in New Jersey. To start, Brodeur likes what he sees, especially if Parise can be re-signed. Forward Ilya Kovalchuk, who battled an undisclosed lower body injury in the postseason and scored just once in the last round, is under a long-term deal and should be healthy for the start of next season. He appeared to be slowed by a back ailment, and even missed a game in Round 2 vs. Philadelphia. Adam Henrique was a find in his first season, scoring 16 regular-season goals and adding five more, including three game winners in the playoffs. Henrique, who added his name to the franchise history books by defeating the rival Rangers in Game 6 with an overtime goal to clinch the conference crown, is a finalist for the Calder Memorial Trophy, given to the league’s top rookie. David Clarkson also had a breakout year with a career-best 30 goals, and rookie defenseman Adam Larsson, last year’s first-round pick, showed he was a talent, despite getting little postseason playing time. “There’s a lot of not just young players, but middle-tier players, and I think we found ourselves depth, too, through trades that, hopefully, we’ll be able to keep,” Brodeur said .”Every year, it’s hard to keep teams together. Hopefully, we’ll be able to make the necessary moves to keep these guys and, hopefully, I’ll be a part of it.” Kovalchuk, who began his career with Atlanta and had never advanced past the first round before this spring, also was optimistic after discovering what it feels like to win in the postseason. After 10 years in the NHL, he finally was able to play in June. “All year long, we showed a lot of character, and we never gave up,” said Kovalchuk.

3-point play and a 74-73 Oklahoma City lead with16.4 seconds to play in the third period, with the quarter ending with that score. The Heat could not have asked for a much better start, certainly not Battier, who got to do the halftime ABC interview after scoring13 first-half points, which matched his previous 2012 postseason high. With James adding 14 points over the first two quarters, the Heat went into the intermission up 54-47. The Heat pushed their lead to 13 in the second quarter, after leading 29-22 at the end of the first quarter. While it was an efficient first half for the Heat that included 6of-10 3-point shooting and only four turnovers, the Thunder were able to stay close by scoring 26 points in the paint in the first half and outscoring the Heat 13-4 in transition over the first 24 minutes. That pattern would continue in the second half. Durant led the Thunder with 13 first-half points. The Heat largely settled for outside shots early, with Battier making his first three 3-point attempts, Mario Chalmers making two in the first half and Chris

crown to show for their existence, and after eight straight years from 2002-10 without making the playoffs, Los Angeles and its Kings had earned every minute of it. Music boomed and drinks flowed for a few hundred friends, family members and Kings employees hanging with the players. Everybody seemingly got a chance to raise the Cup above their heads for triumphant photos, and a few unhappy toddlers were forced to sit in the bowl. The Conn Smythe Trophy also attended, and plenty of people borrowed Jonathan Quick’s hardware long enough to chant “MV-P!” for themselves. The Kings weren’t thinking much about how they became the first eighth seed to win a title, or how they won 10 straight road games this spring, or how they made the second-fastest run in modern NHL history to the Stanley Cup. They already knew. “It’s got to come from the room, and guys have to make a decision to work,” said Quick, the recordsetting goalie who carried the Kings through long stretches of the regular season. “I think we did that. You can’t say enough about this group and how hard they worked.” And then everybody danced, ate and sang at a party 45 years in the making. Later, several players took the Cup to one of their favorite pubs in Hermosa Beach, one of the beautiful South Bay seaside towns where nearly all of the Kings live when they aren’t chasing hockey hardware. This party will go on all week, too. The Cup and several Kings are scheduled to make appearances on “The Tonight Show” and “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” and a parade down Figueroa Street is scheduled for Thursday, with thousands of Southern California’s devoted hockey fans expected to turn out for their first title celebration. Los Angeles is a hockey town right now, with everything from downtown postgame celebrations to congratulatory billboards hung around the city, including a greeting from Patron tequila on the iconic Sunset Strip. Thousands of drivers are flying Kings colors on the city’s muchmocked car flags, and the parade should be a culmination of the best time in club history since Wayne Gretzky ruled the Forum. It’s good to be a King, whether you’re rookie surprise Dwight King or any King at all. And they’ve got no reason to think next year can’t be just as exciting. The Kings’ surge actually began in the regular season when a talented roster came together in the final 20 games or so. Although they never even faced elimination in the postseason, it was a distinct possibility during the regular season, when they didn’t clinch a playoff spot until right before their 81st game. Los Angeles was a changed team after a high-risk trade of

puck-moving defenseman Jack Johnson for power forward Jeff Carter, who scored two goals — including what turned out to be the game-winner — in the Kings’ 6-1 Cup-clinching victory over New Jersey in Game 6. Everything changed for the NHL’s lowest-scoring team around the time of that trade, culminating in a fitting footnote: Los Angeles hadn’t scored six goals in any game this season until the cup clincher. The Kings got at least one goal from 17 players in the postseason, with all four lines and three defensive pairings making significant contributions. Los Angeles’ older players, including elder statesman Willie Mitchell and tenacious forward Simon Gagne, played seamlessly alongside youngsters Drew Doughty, who lived up to his lavish $56 million contract after a rocky start to the year, and King, who repeatedly provided scoring punch and physical play. When Sutter and general manager Dean Lombardi start looking toward next season, they’ll know most of that roster is already signed. The few free agents probably could be tied up if Los Angeles’ brass wants the same players to attempt a repeat — assuming the NHL and the players’ union resolve a potentially sticky labor dispute that could leave the Kings with plenty of extra time to take the Cup home to friends and family. Los Angeles’ top unrestricted free agents are forwards Jarret Stoll, Dustin Penner and Colin Fraser. Stoll was a steadying veteran influence and key specialteams player all season, while Penner is an imposing physical presence on an impressive playoff line with Carter and Mike Richards. Yet neither Stoll nor Penner played particularly well during the regular season, giving the Kings plenty of factors to weigh when deciding whether to enter the bidding for their services. The entire defense is signed for next year, while forwards Carter, Richards and first-liners Dustin Brown, Anze Kopitar and Justin Williams are all signed for at least two seasons. Lombardi undoubtedly will need to find money to do a longterm deal with goalie Jonathan Quick, who has one more season at $1.8 million left on his deal before becoming an unrestricted free agent in 2013. Quick will command top dollar after his breakthrough season and newfound elite status, and the Kings are aware how much of their success rests on his slight shoulders. No matter what moves Lombardi makes, the Kings will defend their first title with the knowledge they’ve overcome every obstacle the NHL can throw at them. Their spectacular playoff run was only possible because the Kings met every challenge before it became critical, and their mellow summer of celebration is the reward. “These guys, since March 1st, they’ve lost about six games,” Sutter said. “They’ve taken a lot of public negativity towards them. Look what they’ve just done. Pretty awesome. Tells you what type of players they are.”

Bosh nailing one. Bosh again played off the bench, in his fourth game back after missing three weeks with a lower-abdominal strain. The Heat clearly flustered the Thunder early with a series of cross-matches that had James defending center Kendrick Perkins, Battier guarding Durant and Wade on Westbrook. As has been the case in previous rounds, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra delayed announcing his lineup decision until just before tip-off, declining to tip his hand after the morning shootaround or during his league-mandated pregame media session. He said it was not a matter of hiding strategy from the Thunder, but rather to keep his players from being asked about the lineup during the pregame media availability. "I’d be willing to tell Oklahoma City," Spoelstra said. "I don’t think it’s a competitive advantage. I just . . . one of the few times that hopefully we can control a little bit of the noise out there, we don’t have to get into the debate about the pluses or minuses about it before the AP PHOTO game. The guys can just focus in, get into their iPads and focus on Kevin Durant and Miami’s Dwyane Wade chase a loose ball during the game." the second half on Tuesday.

Tiger Woods chips to the sixth green during a practice round for the U.S. Open Championship golf tournament Tuesday at The Olympic Club in San Francisco.

The chase continues for Tiger Through a sporadic season, Woods tries to return to the top of the golf world. By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

SAN FRANCISCO — Beaten down at Augusta, now the man to beat at the U.S. Open. The expectations that have followed Tiger Woods this year are a lot like the fairways at The Olympic Club — up, down, often sideways. He couldn’t close out tournaments the way he once did. He lost his putting stroke. His left Achilles tendon might be more of a problem than he was letting on. He had his worst finish ever at the Masters. He missed a cut. And in the midst of such a gloomy outlook, Woods won by five shots at Bay Hill and delivered an uppercut fist pump at Memorial when he chipped in for birdie to complete a stunning rally for his second win of the year. So when the question came up Tuesday at the U.S. Open —

whether Woods had to win a major to end such prognosticating — he all but rolled his eyes. “I think even if I do win a major championship, it will still be, ‘You’re not to 18 yet’ or ‘When will you get to 19?’ It’s always something with you guys,” Woods said. “I’ve dealt with that my entire career, ever since I was an amateur and playing all the way through and to professional golf. It hasn’t changed.” Even so, this U.S. Open figures to go a long way toward figuring out how close he is to returning to the top of golf. Woods couldn’t stop talking about how the U.S. Open presents the toughest test players face all year — so tough that he probably won’t be talking to Phil Mickelson, his longtime rival who will be playing with him in the opening two rounds. “This is one of those championships that I think the guys talk the least to one another because it’s so difficult,” he said. Woods looks as equipped as ever. Two weeks ago, he played so well at Muirfield Village that he

was ranked in the middle-of-thepack in putting and still rallied from four shots behind to win. He has talked about playing well in spurts, and conceded after that win — the 73rd of his PGA Tour career — that he hit the ball great all four rounds. Just like that, he became the betting favorite at Olympic Club to get his 15th major — and first since the 2008 U.S. Open — and resume his pursuit of the record 18 majors won by Jack Nicklaus. Then again, his win at Bay Hill made him the pre-tournament rage at the Masters, and he tied for 40th. “I guess lately, we don’t know what to expect from him,” Steve Stricker said. “When he wins, we’re all eager to look ahead and think that he’s going to be back

to where he was in the early 2000s or whenever he was at the top of his game. I think that just shows you the ability that he has, and what people see in the type of player that he is, and the type of shots that he’s been able to hit over the years, and the uncanny ability to just get it done and win golf tournaments. “So when he does win one, I think that’s why we’re all quick to hop on his bandwagon.” Woods sees a different trend from the first major of the year. He managed his game at Bay Hill, in part because of a sloppy start by Graeme McDowell that gave Woods a cushion and allowed him to play the shots he needed to win the tournament. “When I went into Augusta, I did not feel comfortable hitting the ball up,” Woods said. “And I got back into a lot of my old patterns. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out. But that’s what made playing Muirfield so nice. I had those shots, and I was doing it the correct way. And I had compression, hitting the ball high and hitting it long. That was fun.”

He’s back & shooting for more stardom

McIlroy returns to U.S. Open, where his victory last year generated major attention. By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

SAN FRANCISCO — So much felt the same to Rory McIlroy. Draped behind his seat was a white banner filled with red-andblue USGA logos, similar to the backdrop a year ago when he last faced a room full of reporters at the U.S. Open. The only thing missing was the silver trophy, which McIlroy had to return this week. So much has changed. A star was born last year at Congressional. McIlroy set the kind of records that once belonged to another young phenom — Tiger Woods — when he finished at 16-under 268 to win by eight shots. He was so good that the tournament effectively ended before the weekend arrived when McIlroy opened with rounds of 65-66, which included a double bogey. Padraig Harrington suggested that the 22-year-old McIlroy ultimately might be the guy to challenge the Jack Nicklaus benchmark of 18 majors. The kid remains 17 majors away. Just as challenging is the scrutiny he faces off the golf course. His girlfriend is tennis star Caroline Wozniacki, and they have been photographed in Paris and New York, once with McIlroy taking the court against Maria

Sharapova during an exhibition at Madison Square Garden. After his practice Tuesday at Olympic Club, he was headed to AT&T Park to throw out the first pitch at a San Francisco Giants game. There’s even a Rory McIlroy bobblehead doll. This is the stuff of Hollywood, not his blue-collar hometown of Holywood in Northern Ireland. It hasn’t all been a life of glitter. McIlroy fired his agent, Chubby Chandler, who discovered him when he was a teenage prodigy. The decision pitted McIlroy against Lee Westwood, leading to a few awkward exchanges on Twitter. McIlroy also made headlines across Britain for tossing a club on his way to missing the cut at Wentworth. They used to talk about McIlroy because of his golf and his potential. Now they talk about McIlroy for just about any reason. “The most that’s changed about my life? Sure, I think I’m viewed different by the golfing public, and maybe more recognized outside of golf now because of that win,” he said. “And the thing that’s changed about me? It’s really just given me a lot of self-belief knowing that I’ve won one of these before and that I can go and I can do it again. “Hopefully,” he added, “it didn’t change me much as a person. I still feel like the same person who sat here, or sat at Congressional, a year ago and was doing a press conference.” He’s holding his own in that department. When he missed the cut at Me-

morial for his third straight weekend off, he was drawing comparisons with Woods for all the wrong reasons. Woods never missed three straight cuts in his career. It was the eighth cut McIlroy had missed in his young career, as many as Woods had missed in 16 years. And on it went. Such comparisons are a disservice to Woods. He doesn’t deserve to be compared with anyone except the players before him — mostly Nicklaus. Even as he works his way back, no one is close to what Woods has accomplished in golf, starting with the fact he won 54 times and 10 majors before turning 30.

McIlroy is getting the most scrutiny of any golfer since Woods, and though it’s still but a fraction, he is embracing it with good humor. It’s hard to imagine Woods taking to the tennis court on television and risking making himself look foolish, even in good fun. Can anyone recall Woods agreeing to throw out the first pitch before a major? “It’s just finding a balance of everything, with getting enough practice, sponsor commitments, media, what tournaments to play, having a life outside of what you do around golf. And it’s something I still feel like I’m learning to do,” McIlroy said. “I’m not complaining. I feel like I’m in a great place. And I’m happy to be doing what I’m doing.” What hasn’t changed is the perception of McIlroy on the golf course. His talent is wondrous. Most players would tell you no one has more natural ability, a swing with that majestic blend of balance and power. Ultimately, though, everyone is measured by results. McIlroy was putting together the kind of consistency that leads to greatness. He had a stretch of 11 tournaments in which he won twice, was runnerup four times and only once finished lower than fifth. That included three World Golf Championships.

Peirce claims she hurt just about everything in the incident, including suffering “severe and permanent injuries to her head, neck, back, body, arms and legs, bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves and tissues ...” and more. The pool did have water in it, attorney Aaron Denker said, though Peirce was tossed in the shallow end. “The next day she really felt it and had a difficult time getting out bed and had a difficult time participating in the wedding,” Denker said. Since it was unclear who was actually in the Phanatic costume that day, Peirce is suing both Tom Burgoyne and Matt Mehler or any other unnamed individual who was portraying the Galapagos Islands native there, the complaint claims. The team and The Golden Inn are also named as defendants. A Phillies spokeswoman said the team was aware of the lawsuit and does not believe the Phanatic engaged in wrongful conduct. She declined to comment further. A representative from The Golden

the first place, or whether it’s a byproduct from Congress’ “authority to protect the nation’s youth.” Having digested the competing spins on 26 days of testimony by 46 witnesses, the jury met for some 15 minutes before being excused for the day at 5 p.m. They will reconvene this afternoon, then unless they reach a quick verdict, take off until Monday because of a long-scheduled out-oftown business trip by the judge. Clemens is charged with perjury, making false statements and obstructing Congress when he testified at a deposition and at a nationally-televised hearing in February 2008. The heart of the charges center on his repeated denials that he used steroids and human growth hormone. Clemens’ chief accuser was his longtime strength coach, Brian McNamee, who spent more than a week on the stand and testified that he injected Clemens with both substances. But also essentially on trial was Congress’ right to hold the hearings in the first place, and Clemens lawyer Rusty Hardin spent part of his closing statement appealing to the notion that the U.S. government was way out of line. “What’s happened in this case,” Hardin said, “is a horrible, horrible overreach by the government and everyone involved.” Prosecutor Gil Guerrero argued that Congress had the right to care because major league baseball players are role models. “They influence children. They influence kids. Congress has to be involved with that,” Guerrero said in a packed federal courtroom that included Clemens’ wife and four sons. “Congress has the authority to protect the nation’s youth.” It’s a debate that’s timely following a pair of expensive Justice Department drugs-in-sports investigations that bore little fruit. More than seven years of probing yielded a guilty verdict on only one count of obstruction of justice last year against baseball’s all-time home run leader, Barry Bonds. A two-year, multicontinent investigation of cyclist Lance Armstrong was recently closed with no charges brought. The case against Clemens was far from tidy, relying heavily on a witness who carried a lot of personal baggage and physical evidence that sat for years inside a beer can. McNamee was the only person who testified to firsthand knowledge of Clemens using the drugs in question. McNamee said he injected Clemens with steroids in 1998, 2000 and 2001 and with HGH in 2000. He also said he saved the needle and other waste from a 2001 steroids injection of Clemens and stored it in and around a Miller Lite can and put it in a FedEx box. Some of the waste was shown to have Clemens’ DNA and steroids on it. Clemens’ lawyers spent much of the trial attacking McNamee’s credibility and integrity. McNamee acknowledged that details of

Inn did not immediately return requests for comment. Denker said the Phanatic was not a part of this particular wedding, though pictures on The Golden Inn’s website show him posing with unnamed newlyweds. There’s also a YouTube video of the Phanatic at the pool there, dancing with some women and playing in the sand with a kid. The lawsuit does not mention specific dollar amounts, but claims Peirce has spent large sums of money on medicine and medical attention and has also suffered from “humiliation and loss of life’s pleasures. “ Peirce, Denker said, is a Phillies fan. This isn’t the first time the Phanatic’s been accused of being too fanatical: in 2010 the Daily News found he’d been sued at least three other times in the last decade, once for hugging someone too hard. In 2010, a woman attending a Reading Phillies game with her church group claimed he sat on her legs, making her arthritis act up and ultimately led to a knee replacement, a lawsuit alleged. He’s not the only mascot to get into legal trouble, though. In 2010, an Upper Darby woman sued Disney, claiming a Donald Duck mascot touched her breast, causing a “shock to her entire nervous system” along with flashbacks and digestive problems. his own story changed over the years, but he said that was partly because he initially tried to protect Clemens as much as possible. “Saying that Brian McNamee lies zero times,” Hardin said, “is kind of like calling the Grand Canyon a ditch.” Hardin produced a chart titled: “Brian McNamee’s testimony is admittedly not credible.” It listed more than two dozen times in which Hardin said McNamee either lied outright or said something that resulted from a “mistake” or “bad memory.” Guerrero readily conceded that McNamee is a “flawed man.” “We’re not asking you to even like him,” Guerrero said. “Brian McNamee did a lot of things that aren’t nice, and we know that.” But, the prosecutor argued, that made McNamee the ideal partner for Clemens’ alleged use of steroids and HGH, substances that Clemens wouldn’t be able to receive from, say, a team doctor or head athletic trainer. “Brian McNamee,” Guerrero said, “would do whatever Roger Clemens wanted.” Clemens’ lawyers repeatedly referred to the beer can evidence as “garbage” and did so again Tuesday. Hardin alleged the medical waste was manipulated by McNamee and contaminated by the way it was stored. Clemens lawyer Michael Attanasio also wondered how the “magic beer can” ended up containing waste from injections of other players. “There’s no doubt,” Attanasio said, “the medical garbage is garbage.” But, the government argued, that only goes to show that McNamee didn’t conjure up the evidence as part of some attempt to frame Clemens. “If McNamee was trying to fabricate this evidence,” Guerrero said, “don’t you think he would have done a better job of it?” When they left the courtroom to begin deliberations, the jurors were handed a complex verdict sheet that includes 13 Clemens statements that are alleged to have obstructed Congress. Hardin voiced outrage that the jury was being asked to make Clemens a convicted felon over some of the statements, including whether the pitcher was at teammate Jose Canseco’s house on the day of a pool party in June 1998, an event the government called a “benchmark” days before McNamee’s first injection of Clemens. McNamee said he saw Clemens talking with Canseco, who jurors heard was a steroids user. “This is outrageous!” yelled Hardin, his face reddening as he pounded the podium three times. Clemens said at his deposition that he wasn’t at Canseco’s house on the day of the party, but evidence at the trial showed that he was. U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton has said he had some concerns as to whether the party was relevant to the case. Either way, Hardin said some of Clemens’ wayward statements to Congress simply came from a man trying his best to remember and shouldn’t be a reason to return a guilty verdict.

The Yankees Alex Rodriguez hits a grand slam in the eighth inning of Tuesday’s game.

A-Rod’s slam rallies Yankees ATLANTA — Alex Rodriguez hit his 23rd career grand slam, matching Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig’s record, and the New York Yankees scored six runs in the eighth inning to rally for a 6-4 win over the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday night. Nick Swisher hit a tiebreaking two-run homer off Cory Gearrin two batters after Rodriguez connected against Jonny Venters. CC Sabathia (8-3) left trailing 4-0 after seven innings but was the beneficiary of the rally. He gave up four runs on a season-high 10 hits with two walks and six strikeouts. The Yankees, who matched their season high with their fifth straight win, have won 10 of 12. New York moved into sole possession of first place in the AL East, one game ahead of Tampa Bay and Baltimore. Twins 11, Phillies 7

MINNEAPOLIS — Trevor Plouffe had a homer, a double and three RBIs to lead the Minnesota Twins to an 11-7 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday night. Ben Revere and Jamey Carroll each had three hits and two RBIs and Josh Willingham also homered for the Twins, who have won 10 of 13 games. Jimmy Rollins had four hits and two RBIs for the Phillies, who left 10 runners on base and couldn’t overcome another poor start from Kyle Kendrick (2-6). The right-hander gave up six runs on eight hits with two walks and two strikeouts. He has a 7.80 ERA in his last three starts. Nationals 4, Blue Jays 2

TORONTO — Bryce Harper homered off the restaurant in center field, Danny Espinosa added a two-run blast, and Washington beat Toronto to extend its winning streak to five games. Jhonatan Solano added his first career homer for the Nationals, who improved to 6-2 in interleague play. Washington also won a season-best five straight from April 10-14. Jose Bautista hit a two-run shot, but the Blue Jays lost for the fifth time in six games and dropped to 31-31. Toronto hasn’t been below .500 this season. Red Sox 2, Marlins 1

MIAMI — Clay Buchholz outpitched Mark Buehrle, and Boston snapped a four-game losing streak with a victory over Miami. The game was scoreless until Boston’s Kelly Shoppach hit an RBI double in the seventh inning and came home on a single by Mike Aviles. Logan Morrison hit a leadoff home run in the Miami seventh for the Marlins’ lone run. Mets 11, Rays 2

Tampa Bay. Young allowed nine hits over 5 2-3 innings, walked two and struck out four in his second major league outing since returning from shoulder surgery that sidelined him most of last season. The right-hander won for the first time since beating Philadelphia on April 5, 2011 — his first start with the Mets. Reds 7, Indians 1

CINCINNATI — Johnny Cueto allowed only one runner to reach second base during his second complete game of the season, and Joey Votto hit a two-run homer to lead Cincinnati over Cleveland. Votto’s shot in the seventh inning off Tony Sipp made it 57 straight games with at least one home run at Great American Ball Park, the longest active streak. Votto added an RBI single as the Reds pulled away in the eighth. Orioles 8, Pirates 6

BALTIMORE — Brian Roberts returned from a 13-month layoff to get three hits and an RBI, and Baltimore homered three times in a victory against Pittsburgh. Activated from the 60-day disabled list before the game, Roberts went 3 for 4 with a sacrifice fly. Playing in the majors for the first time since sustaining a concussion on May 16, 2011, Baltimore’s longtime leadoff hitter received a standing ovation in the first inning before lining a single up the middle. Royals 2, Brewers 1

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Billy Butler drove in the go-ahead run in the eighth inning, and the Royals got a superb start from Luis Mendoza to spoil Zack Greinke’s return to Kansas City with a win over Milwaukee. Alex Gordon homered to lead off the first, and then doubled to start the eighth and headed to third base on a bunt by Chris Getz. Butler then sent a pitch from Francisco Rodriguez (0-4) into center field to score the go-ahead run. Rangers 9, Diamondbacks 1

ARLINGTON, Texas — Colby Lewis retired the first 16 batters and finished with a four-hitter, leading Texas over Arizona. Lewis (5-5) struck out seven and walked one as Texas ended Arizona’s five-game winning streak. White Sox 6, Cardinals 1

ST. LOUIS — A.J. Pierzynski hit a two-run homer, rookie left-hander Jose Quintana allowed one run over 5 1-3 innings and the streaking Chicago White Sox beat St. Louis. Cubs 4, Tigers 3

CHICAGO — Darwin Barney had three RBIs and the Chicago Cubs used shortstop Jhonny Peralta’s two throwing errors in the eighth inning to push across the winning run in a 4-3 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday night.

Utley hitless in rehab start The Philadelphia Inquirer

CLEARWATER, Fla. - A second baseman delivered a threerun double for the single-A Clearwater Threshers Tuesday night during Chase Utley’s first game of a minor-league rehabilitation assignment. Utley was not that second baseman. In his role as the Threshers’ designated hitter, the Phillies’ five-time all-star second baseman went hitless in five at-bats and failed to put the ball in play four times during the Threshers’ 4-3 loss to the Tampa Yankees. Yes, even the rehab assignments are going poorly for the Phillies these days. When Utley struck out in his final at-bat in the bottom of the ninth inning, the small crowd at Bright House Field sent him back to the dugout with a chorus of boos. That’s something he has rarely heard at Citizens Bank Park. It was that kind of night, however. Utley fouled out weakly in the first inning, struck out looking in the sixth, and swinging in the seventh and ninth innings. The only time he put the ball in play was on a hard line-out to left field in the bottom of the fourth inning. Earlier in that at-bat, it appeared as if he may have had a line-drive double down the rightfield line, but the ball was ruled foul by home plate umpire Jose Esteras. How quickly Utley’s rehab assignment leads him back to the Phillies’ lineup remains to be seen. Right now, it’s not even known when he’ll play second base with Clearwater. "He’ll let his body dictate how fast he can get to the field and do that kind of stuff where he starts playing second base in games, but he seems to be moving around well," general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said. "It doesn’t look like he has a whole lot of hesitancy and restriction, and that’s a good sign." cago, 13; BUpton, Tampa Bay, 11; Dyson, Kansas City, 10; AEscobar, Kansas City, 10; MIzturis, Los Angeles, 10; JWeeks, Oakland, 10.

T H I S D A T E I N B A S E B A L L June 13 1905 — Christy Mathewson of the New York Giants pitched his second no-hit game, beating the Chicago Cubs and Mordecai Brown 1-0. Mathewson and Brown matched no-hitters for eight innings. The Giants got two hits in the ninth for the win. 1912 — Christy Mathewson recorded his 300th career victory with a 3-2 triumph over the Chicago Cubs. 1921 — Babe Ruth of the New York Yankees pitched the first five innings and hit two home runs in an 11-8 victory over the Detroit Tigers. 1948 — Babe Ruth Day at Yankee Stadium drew 49,641 fans who saw Ruth’s No. 3 retired and the Yankees beat the Cleveland Indians 5-3. 1957 — Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox hit three home runs and drove in five runs in a 9-3 victory over the Cleveland Indians as Williams became the first AL player to have two three-homer games in a season. 1973 — The Los Angeles Dodgers’ infield of Steve Garvey (first base), Davey Lopes (second base), Ron Cey (third base) and Bill Russell (shortstop) played together for the first time in a 16-3 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. The quartet would set a major league record for longevity by playing 8 1⁄2 years in the same infield. 2001 — Texas’ Ruben Sierra homered from both sides of the plate for the sixth time in his career, but the Rangers lost 5-3 to the Dodgers. 2003 — Roger Clemens reached 300 wins and became the third pitcher with 4,000 strikeouts, leading the New York Yankees over the St. Louis Cardinals 5-2. Clemens, the 21st pitcher to make it to 300, allowed two runs in 6 2-3 innings and struck out 10, raising his total to 4,006. Clemens joined Nolan Ryan (5,714) and Steve Carlton (4,136) in the 4,000-strikeout club. 2008 — Chase Utley, Ryan Howard and Pat Burrell hit consecutive home runs in the first inning of Philadelphia’s 20-2 rout of St. Louis. 2009 — Torii Hunter of the Angels hit three consecutive solo homers in Los Angeles’ 9-1 win over San Diego.

A stroke of Luck comes to Colts offseason workouts With college classes now ended, number one draft pick finally joins Indianapolis.

INDIANAPOLIS — Andrew Luck couldn’t wait to start his new job, and the Indianapolis Colts couldn’t wait to get him back on the field. On Tuesday, both sides finally got their wish. After a 5½-week absence from the Colts’ offseason workouts, the No. 1 overall draft pick showed up in a red No. 12 jersey and started showing everyone what he’d learned while attending his final classes at Stanford. “I’m just trying to soak everything in, and I’m starting to have

a good understanding of what’s going on here,” Luck said after Tuesday morning’s light onehour workout. Admittedly, he’s still trying to master the playbook, get on the same page with his new teammates and figure out how to get around Indianapolis. But none of that mattered Tuesday as dozens of reporters, photographers and television cameras monitored each pass Luck threw. Vice president and general counsel Dan Emerson, who has been negotiating Luck’s contract, watched the first half of a twohour afternoon practice. Team owner Jim Irsay and two of his three daughters watched the second half of the afternoon session from a golf cart. What everyone saw was a nearly flawless performance.

Luck connected on his first 12 throws in the morning team drill and only one of 16 passes hit the ground — a ball that hit rookie tight end Dwayne Allen in the chest and ricocheted to the ground. Coach Chuck Pagano noted that Luck didn’t make a single mental mistake. Griff Whalen and Coby Fleener, who worked out with fellow alumnus Luck at Stanford over the past month, said Luck seemed as calm and in control as he was in college. “He’s one of the greatest learners I’ve ever met and he’s already up to speed,” said Fleener, Indy’s second-round draft pick in April. League rules prohibit rookies from attending team mini-camps until they finish classes with the exception of one three-day rookie

camp, which ended May 6. Indy promised to do anything it could to help Luck — video conferences, conference calls, even using Irsay’s private jet to ferry players around the country for individual workouts. The NFL nixed all of it until Luck finished his final two architectural design courses last Thursday. The resourceful Luck came up with a solution: Using his free time in the morning to hone his football skills, while blocking out the afternoons for classwork. It wasn’t the way Luck wanted to start his pro career. “I’d wake up and have a serious lack of motivation to go to class, so I’d work out in the mornings, then eat lunch and go to class in the afternoon,” Luck said. “I think I managed to learn the playbook a bit.”

PITTSBURGH — Willie Colon couldn’t help himself. When rookies David DeCastro and Mike Adams walked into the offensive huddle during the opening practice of minicamp on Tuesday, the veteran left guard decided to have a little fun at the expense of the new kids. “It smells like baby milk and pampers in here,” Colon said just before quarterback Ben Roethlisberger called out a play. Hopefully, not for long. The Steelers wasted little time putting their top two draft picks to work during their first drills with the veterans. Both players split time with the first team in an effort to play catch-up after missing three weeks of organized team activities while finishing their studies. Offensive line coach Sean Kugler did his best to keep his two new projects up to speed, calling them daily to go through reps and relay questions that came up dur-

ing meetings. Adams — taken in the second round out of Ohio State — would often bring his playbook and his iPad wherever he went during his final days on campus to help fight off boredom. “To be honest, I’d be in class watching film and stuff like that,” he said. “I kind of checked out of school awhile ago, just wanting to be here, getting back with my team.” The sooner, the better for a player eager to shed the reputa-

tion he received during his bumpy career with the Buckeyes. The massive 6-foot-7, 323 pound Adams was an All-Big Ten selection in 2010 and made the second team last year despite being limited to eight games because of his role in the scandal that eventually led to coach Jim Tressel’s dismissal. Throw in his failed drug test just before the NFL combine and Adams arrives in Pittsburgh with plenty of baggage to go with his potential.

“I think some people question my ability (as a person) and as a football player,” Adams said. “As long as I do what I’m told and do what I’m taught I’ll be alright.” He won’t have to look far for guidance. The locker room is littered with leaders, Colon among them. The affable 29-year-old is now the elder statesmen among the linemen and is moving from right tackle to left guard. If Adams and DeCastro both do enough during training camp to be starters, Colon will have as much experience as the other four starters combined. Asked if that makes him feel like a grandfather, Colon smiled and said, “I don’t know about grandpa. Maybe like an uncle.” One who — much like Adams and DeCastro — is finding himself thrust into a new role. Colon appeared to have a lengthy future at right tackle after signing a fiveyear extension last summer. The elation lasted all of one game. Colon tore his right triceps in the season-opener against Baltimore and underwent seasonending surgery. Rookie Marcus Gilbert eventually found a home at the spot, playing so well he’ll likely be the starter there.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jacksonville Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew is skipping a mandatory minicamp as part of a contract dispute. Jones-Drew didn’t show up for a team meeting Tuesday and isn’t expected to join the Jaguars for any part of the three-day camp. Coach Mike Mularkey can Jones-Drew fine JonesDrew up to $60,000 if he misses the entire camp. General manager Gene Smith said Monday he has no plans to renegotiate JonesDrew’s current deal, setting the stage for a potentially lengthy holdout. Jones-Drew, who led the NFL in rushing last season with 1,606 yards, has two years remaining on a fiveyear contract worth $31 million. He is scheduled to make $4.45 million this season and $4.95 million in 2013. Coming off a career year, Jones-Drew wants to be one of the league’s highest-paid backs. New York Jets FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — New York Jets coach Rex Ryan says backup quarterback Tim Tebow will take snaps only with the secondteam offense during the team’s three-day minicamp. Mark Sanchez, whom the team has repeatedly insisted is the Jets’ undisputed starter, will run the first-string offense throughout the practices. Ryan, who spoke before the Jets’ first minicamp session Tuesday, eliminated any early suspense or speculation about whether Tebow could make a potential run at Sanchez’s starting job. Tebow, acquired from Denver in March, is expected to serve in a variety of roles for the Jets this season, including running the team’s wildcat-style offense and serving as a punt protector on special teams. Ryan adds that wide receiver Santonio Holmes could be

MINICAMP ROUNDUP limited after straining a hamstring during organized team activities last week. New York Jets FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Darrelle Revis says there has been no movement on talks with the New York Jets on possibly re-doing his deal, and a sit-down with the team will have to come “sooner or later.” The All-Pro cornerback says Tuesday after the Jets’ first minicamp practice that he still can’t say whether he will report on time to training camp because of the contract situation. Revis has two years remaining on the deal he signed in 2010. He adds that he hasn’t yet spoken to his agents about the situation. Revis says he has “grown” since his rookie year, when he held out, and two years ago, when he reported just before the season opener. He adds that “whatever is best for me and the organization, we’ll get through it.” New York Giants EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — New York Giants guard David Diehl has apologized for “a bad decision” that resulted in his being arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol. The leader of the Super Bowl champions’ offensive line stood before a throng of media in front of his locker and said he hoped people would not judge him for this one mistake. Diehl noted that in 10 years with the Giants, he has always reflected the high standards set by the organization, but that now he recognizes how “people will question who I am as a person and question my character.” He also expects to hear from the NFL about the incident in which his BMW struck several parked cars on Sunday evening. Coach Tom Coughlin said Diehl “is very remorseful.”

CHICAGO BEARS

The Associated Press

LAKE FOREST, Ill. — The Chicago Bears opened minicamp, and one key piece remained missing — Matt Forte. The Pro Bowl running back was absent Tuesday as expected, with his franchise-player tender remaining unsigned. So the staredown with management continues, and coach Lovie Smith seems to be staying out of it. Asked if the situation bothered him, he said, “It’s not an issue for

me and it can’t be.” “During the course of the year you have guys who aren’t here for whatever reason,” Smith continued. “You coach the guys who can go, who can practice. We’ve been spending all our time with that. I know Matt Forte. I’m sure he’s getting ready to go. But in the meantime, the best thing we can do for the Chicago Bears is just keep this train going, which we’ve done.” Forte hasn’t signed his $7.74

million tender, and he has a July 16 deadline to agree to a multiyear deal with more guaranteed money. He is not required to attend minicamp because he’s not under contract, and Smith insisted he’s “having a blast” coaching the players who are. He wouldn’t say if he expected Forte’s situation to be resolved by now or in time for training camp next month. Either way, it’s a big issue for a team with high expectations.

The fight over Sioux nickname rages into ballot box Voters try to resolve bitter dispute over North Dakota’s long-time moniker. By DAVE KOLPACK Associated Press

FARGO, N.D. — Voters cast ballots Tuesday to resolve a bitter dispute over the University of North Dakota’s Fighting Sioux nickname, even as supporters of the moniker promised to resume the battle this fall regardless of the outcome. The issue has been simmering for decades, dividing the state, sports fans, alumni and even area tribes. But it boiled over seven years ago when UND was placed on a list of schools with American Indian nicknames that the NCAA deemed hostile and abusive. Those colleges were told to dump the names or risk sanctions against their athletic teams. Voters in Tuesday’s North Dakota primary are being asked whether to uphold or reject the Legislature’s repeal of a state law requiring the school to use the nickname and American Indian head logo. Twenty-six-year-old Andrea Eagle Pipe, a criminal justice major at United Tribes Technical College in Bismarck, said she’s Sioux and doesn’t find the name offensive. “A lot of people don’t like it, but I don’t have a problem with it,” she said, adding that her high school in Red Lodge, Mont., agreed to shed its 70-year-old Redskins nickname in 2011 because of NCAA pressure. She said she would vote to keep the Fighting Sioux nickname after classes Tuesday.

The university first adopted Sioux as its nickname in1930; the ‘Fighting’ portion wasn’t added until the 1960s. Interest in the vote was intense, with one election inspector saying she had not seen such a high early turnout outside of a presidential election in 20 years of service. “The measures are bringing people to the polls,” said Margaret Swenson, at a tribal college in Bismarck. A “yes” vote would retire the nickname, but perhaps only temporarily. A group called the Committee for Understanding and Respect has been circulating petitions for a second referendum that would change the state constitution to declare UND forever be known as the Fighting Sioux. “Our second phase, and our ultimate goal, is the November ballot,” the group said in a statement. The NCAA says it will ban any schools with hostile or abusive nicknames or logos from hosting playoffs. The ban would make scheduling difficult and coaches say it would have a negative im-

Sean Johnson, spokesman for away” on the second referendum quickly removed their American pact on a team’s ability to recruit. At the Bismarck Civic Center the nickname supporters, said no matter what happens during Indian-themed nicknames when early Tuesday, 33-year-old Dawn his group will “keep plugging Tuesday’s primary. Some schools faced with NCAA pressure. Kopp — a graduate of North Dakota State University in Fargo — voted to dump the nickname. “Even though I went to a rival school, I don’t want UND to lose their chance of competing,” she said. Brian Saylor, 37, agreed. “I supported the UND nickname for a long time, but now it’s time to move on,” he said. The issue has even divided families. Buck and GaeLynn Striebel and their son, Robert, stocked up on Fighting Sioux Tshirts on sale at a Bismarck sporting goods store Tuesday. “They could be collector’s items,” a chuckling Buck Striebel said. The North Dakota State University graduate said he would vote to keep the Fighting Sioux nickname, while his wife and son, both UND graduates, said they would vote to get rid of the name because of the controversy surrounding it. “It’s bittersweet and it breaks my heart, but it has to go,” GaeLynn Striebel said.

LAS VEGAS — The promoter for Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley is asking Nevada officials for a full investigation into the controversial scoring of their championship fight in Las Vegas last weekend. Top Rank CEO Bob Arum says he submitted a formal request for an inquiry to the Nevada attorney general’s office on Monday. Bradley took the welterweight title from defending champion Pacquiao on Saturday night, ending the Filipino fighter’s remarkable seven-year unbeaten run. Bradley won 115-113 on two scorecards, while losing by the same margin on the third. The decision was roundly booed by the crowd at the MGM Grand arena. Arum says the only way to restore fans’ confidence in boxing is to have an independent investigation. The attorney general’s office did not immediately return a message seeking comment Tuesday.

Russia and Poland fight to a draw 20 years later, film

relives the “Dream”

The Associated Press

WARSAW, Poland — Alan Dzagoev scored his third goal of the European Championship and Jakub Blaszczykowski equalized in the second half as Russia and Poland drew 1-1 Tuesday. The match was marred before kickoff by fighting between hooligans from both countries, leaving several people injured as thousands of Russian fans marched to celebrate the Russia Day national holiday. Dzagoev darted past defender Lukasz Piszczek in the 37th minute and sent a glancing header beyond goalkeeper Przemyslaw Tyton after a curling free kick from Andrei Arshavin. But Poland was rewarded for its attacking intent in the 57th when Blaszczykowski cut in from the right and sent a searing left-foot drive into the far corner of the goal. “I think we deserve praise because all of us put a lot into this match,” Blaszczykowski said. “The tactics we set up before the match we carried out 100 percent.” The result left Russia at the top of Group A with four points but also kept alive Poland’s chances of qualifying for the quarterfinals. “We’re still in the tournament, so with this point a win in our final match puts us into the knockout stage,” Blaszczykowski said. Police said 10 people were injured in fighting before the match; seven Poles, two Russians and one German. Polish police also fired rubber bullets and tear gas at a group of young Poles who attacked them with glass bottles. The march to the stadium by thousands of Russian fans was seen as a provocation by many Poles, who have long had tense relations with Russia. The two countries share a

difficult history, including decades of control by Moscow over Poland during the Cold War. Many Poles felt the Polish authorities should not have allowed the Russians to march as a group in Warsaw given the historical wounds. Russia’s football federation pleaded with its fans to behave after video emerged online of supporters beating stewards at the Municipal Stadium in Wroclaw during the match against the Czech Republic, warning that more trouble could cost the team points. UEFA opened disciplinary proceedings against the Russian federation following the trouble in Wroclaw. Czech Republic 2, Greece 1 WROCLAW, Poland — Petr Jiracek and Vaclav Pilar scored

in the first six minutes to give the Czech Republic a 2-1 win over Greece on Tuesday at the European Championship. Jiracek shot the ball past Greece goalkeeper Costas Chalkias in the third minute after a pass from Tomas Hubschmann sliced through the Greek defense. Three minutes later, Pilar scored his second goal of the tournament, beating Greek defenders to a ball sent across the goal by Czech Republic defender Theodor Gebre Selassie. Substitute Fanis Gekas pulled one back for Greece in the 53rd minute with a tap in after Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech spilled the ball and bumped into defender Tomas Sivok. The Greeks, who played the Group A match without two key central defenders, nearly

scored another in the 41st, but the header from Giorgos Fotakis was called back for offside. The Greeks recovered well after their disastrous start, but lost another player when Chalkias limped off the field in the 23rd minute. He was replaced by Michalis Sifakis. Despite the defensive problems, Greece coach Fernando Santos stuck with his attacking lineup of three forwards. The strategy helped the Greeks dominate the second half. Czech Republic captain Tomas Rosicky came off with a foot injury in the second half. The Czech fans booed coach Michal Bilek at the start of the match, but the team rebounded from its opening 4-1 loss to Russia in Group A. The Czechs also avenged their semifinal loss to Greece at Euro 2004.

NEW YORK — Not urban legend: The Dream Team really did lose to a group of college stars. A new documentary commemorating the 20-year anniversary of the Olympic gold medalists has the footage to prove it. The video shot at the time so coaches could analyze practice will now be televised to the world. “The Dream Team” premieres Wednesday night on NBA TV, chronicling the future Hall of Famers — led by Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird — who became the first NBA players to compete at the Olympics at the 1992 Barcelona Games. All 12 members sat down for fresh interviews. NBA Entertainment cameras followed around the team during the Olympics, and some of that footage aired in various forms then. This is the first time all the behind-the-scenes moments have been shown together in one place. “A lot of these things, we all kind of heard these stories,” executive producer Dion Cocoros said. “’Hey, I heard they lost to the select team. Did they really have these intense practices?’ To show it takes it to the next level. A lot of this has been discussed for 20 years but never seen.” The players participated in individual interviews from September through March. Each seemed to add a new anecdote or observation that the next Dream Teamer was asked about. “It really sparked almost like a memory in them when we’d mention something they hadn’t thought of in a while,” Cocoros said. In the 90-minute film, Jordan

recalls his initial reluctance to commit to the team, signing on only after hearing that so many of his fellow superstars were on board. There’s footage of the Dream Teamers going at each other in practice with the vigor of a playoff game. Off the court, the players reminisce about all the topless bathers when they trained in Monte Carlo. Another clip shows John Stockton, camcorder on his shoulder, walking around Barcelona with his family and trying — unsuccessfully — to get fans to recognize him. As far as that one loss, Mike Krzyzewski, a Dream Team assistant, insists in the film that coach Chuck Daly “threw” the scrimmage as a lesson to his players during pre-Olympic preparations in San Diego by not making adjustments and using Michael Jordan very little. Still, it would seem any combination of five of the future Hall of Famers should have been able to defeat the college kids without any strategizing.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — The Amateur Athletic Union will begin what its national president said Tuesday he hopes will foster a “culture of safety” with the implementation of several reforms, including mandatory background screening for all staff, coaches and volunteers. The new screening is set to begin Sept. 1 and coincides with the youth organization’s new membership cycle. No one will be exempt from screening and any questionable information they turn up could permanently disqualify people from participation in AAU programs. AAU’s Board of Directors will have final say on all membership decisions. Everyone involved in AAU programs will also be required to report any known or suspected child abuse to law enforcement. “The new recommendations are not because we suspect anyone, but rather because we expect everyone to do their part to create a strong, new culture of safety,” Stout said. The moves follow a six-month review by two AAU-commissioned task forces that focused on youth protection and adult volunteering screening. They produced a joint 30-page report with 42 recommendations for changes to AAU’s policies, protocols and procedures. AAU commissioned the review last December in the wake of decades-old sex abuse allegations against former president Bobby Dodd. The organization had never faced any abuse allegations prior to those against the 63-yearold, who it had severed all ties with. And he, to date, has never been charged with a crime. AAU had previously done

some random screenings of officials, but they were not mandatory The oldest organization dedicated to youth athletes in the country, the 124-year-old AAU oversees about 30 sports programs for all ages nationwide, including major sports like football, basketball and baseball to bocce ball, baton twirling and competitive jump rope. More than 500,000 athletes and 50,000 volunteers participate in its programs. The new screening will be done through a contract with LexisNexis Risk Solutions and will take between a few to several days per person depending on the applicant. The company has a special program for nonprofits, which will help to defray a lot of the costs. The company has done more than 5.5 million screenings for different nonprofit organizations over the past 15 years including the Boys &Girls Club, Little League Baseball and Boy Scouts. “They are coming to the right place,” said Beverly McIntosh, who heads LexisNexis’ volunteer screening division. “This is what

we do.” But some of the costs will be passed to AAU members, with membership rates increasing by $2 in each of its categories. That means that youth athlete fees will increase from $12 to $14 and from $14 to $16 when new member registration begins. In addition to the background checks, policies will be in place to prevent adults from being alone in rooms with youths. Also AAU will put together a child protection manual to guide its members, and have a zero-tolerance policy for hazing. “It probably should have been done a long time ago....There’s a term we use every day — change. That’s what all this is about,” Stout said. “I don’t think about what we didn’t do, I think about what we are going to do. And that is change the perception of this organization hopefully across the rest of its serving youth across this country.” It’s a perception that probably needs changing after the Dodd allegations. Dodd’s attorney, Steve Farese, said in January that his client is innocent.

PNC girds against claims PNC Financial Services Group will set aside $350 million in the April-June quarter to pay for demands for refunds for faulty mortgages, CEO James Rohr told analysts Tuesday. The charge relates to home mortgages that may have been underwritten or foreclosed on improperly. The refund demands stem mainly from mortgages originated by National City Bank and sold to government-sponsored enterprises, such as Fannie Mae, between 2005 and 2008.

UGI Energy Services replaced its coal-burning power plant in Hunlock Creek with natural gas turbines in 2011. In addition to reducing emissions, the change allows UGI to take advantage of gas from nearby Marcellus Shale fields.

Wal-Mart probe expands Two congressmen say Wal-Mart Stores Inc.’s investigation of possible bribery in its operations in Mexico has expanded to its businesses in China and Brazil. Democratic congressmen Elijah Cummings of Maryland and Henry Waxman of California say that lawyers for Wal-Mart told them they were hired to review anti-corruption policies and operations in Brazil and China as well as Mexico. They say the lawyers recommended Wal-Mart also review its operations in India and South Africa.

NEW YORK — Coal, the fuel that powered the U.S. from the industrial revolution into the iPhone era, is being pushed aside as utilities switch to cleaner and cheaper alternatives. The share of U.S. electricity that comes from coal is forecast to fall below 40 percent for the year, its lowest level since World War II. Four years ago, it was 50 percent. By the end of this decade, it is likely to be near 30 percent. “The peak has passed,” says Jone-Lin Wang, head of Global Power for the energy research firm IHS CERA. Utilities are aggressively ditching coal in favor of natural gas, which has become cheaper as supplies grow. Natural gas has other advantages over coal: It produces far fewer emissions of toxic chemicals and gases that contribute to

ING Bank pays $619M fine Dutch bank ING Bank NV will pay $619 million to settle charges that it secretly moved billions of dollars through the U.S. financial system on behalf of Cuban and Iranian customers, in violation of U.S. sanctions. ING intentionally deleted information about thousands of transactions that would have linked the money to sanctioned parties, the Treasury Department said. The fine, a record for U.S. sanctions violations, defuses multiple criminal and civil probes of ING’s practices between 2002 and 2007.

legal disputes are breaking out as they try to cancel contracts and defer deliveries. Coal has dominated the U.S. power industry for so long because it’s a cheap and abundant domestic resource. The U.S. is the world’s second-largest coal producer after China, and it has the world’s biggest reserves — enough to last more than 200 years. Coal has also enjoyed strong political support because of the jobs it provides in mining and transportation. That helped coal thrive even as environmental concerns over mining practices and air quality grew. Canonsburg-based Consol Energy and other U.S. coal companies hope to be able to keep mines active by exporting more of the country’s huge reserves. Last year U.S. coal exports hit a record 107 million short tons.

climate change, key attributes as tougher environmental rules go into effect. Natural gas will be used to produce 30 percent of the country’s electricity this year, up from 20 percent in 2008. Nuclear accounts for 20 percent. Hydroelectric, wind, solar and other renewables make up the rest. Last year, UGI Energy Services completed replacing its coal-fired power plant in Hunlock Creek with two gas turbines. In addition to reducing emissions, the change allows UGI to take advantage of gas extracted in the nearby Marcellus Shale fields. The shift from coal is reverberating across Appalachia, where mining companies are laying off workers and cutting production. Utilities across the country are grappling with how to store growing piles of unused coal. And

Another half inch to one inch of rain has just occurred in our area and so we can basically afford what lies ahead, that is, dry weather for the rest of this week. Northerly winds today will promote clearing this morning and lower humidity this afternoon. Dew point temperatures tonight will tumble down close to 50 and remain that low through the day Thursday. That is an indication of relatively low water vapor content in the air and good conditions to hang out the wash to dry. Daytime temperatures will trend near normal into the weekend, then above normal later next week. - Tom Clark

CHEF’S CORNER THOMAS COOK

WILKES-BARRE RAMADA INN

Get grilling with lemony shish kebabs

NIKO J. KALLIANIOTIS PHOTOS /FOR THE TIMES LEADER

It might look like a gyro, but this chicken shawarma is anything but with its blend of meat, hummus, veggies and special sauce. TOP: Qabli pallow is a dish for the somewhat adventurous, offering tastes of rice, carrot strips, raisins, almonds, pistachios, meat or vegetables.

Goushfand tikka kabob, left, is lamb skewered alongside marinated grilled vegetables, while chicken tandoori kabob is juicy drumsticks marinated in tandoori spices.

here is just completely different,” the Scranton woman said as she relaxed across from her husband, Paul. “The food is excellent too. I think this is one of the more unique dining experiences in the area.” • Next to a typical dining area of tables and chairs is the lounge, a section of low tables and floor cushions where the Blaus were seated.

arah Blau was sitting so comfortably she didn’t even feel like she was eating at a restaurant. The 31-year-old shifted her position among the ornate floor cushions at Exhale Hookah Lounge and Kabob Grill in Scranton, getting ready to bite into her lamb shawarma. • “The atmosphere

Mohammad Tajak

See EAST, Page 2C

HOOKAH DEFINED Not only does Exhale provide décor and music reminiscent of the Middle East, it also brings a long-time tradition that is a prominent part of social life there. In the Middle East, “For you and I to go out and sit down to talk, it’s most often done at a hookah lounge,” Exhale cooperator Mohammad Tajak said. A hookah, an apparatus used for smoking flavored tobacco in which the smoke passes through a water basin before inhalation, is often ornate with a detailed design. The water pipe is attached to a

jar filled with cool water on the bottom and a container on the top that holds charcoal and the tobacco. Hoses are attached to the main body. At Exhale, each smoker is given a plastic tip to attach to the hose for sanitary purposes. Exhale offers 67 flavors of tobacco, the most popular among them the Blue Mist. As with cigarette tobacco there’s an age requirement: Smokers must be 18.

IT’S THAT TIME OF season again when the high temperatures bring people outside to cook on the grill. There are a lot of items to grill, but I chose shish kebabs because of their special citrus flavor. You can use a variety of meats, such as lamb, for these kebabs. The history of shish kebabs, which means “skewer” and “roast meat,” respectively, originated in Turkey. They were marinated to dissolve the meat’s gamey taste as well as make it tender. Shish kebabs also are present in other cultures but have different looks and names, such as Indonesia’s “satay,” which involves peanuts. Japan’s shish kebab is the “yakitori,” and France has “brochettes.” The term is commonly misspelled as shish kabobs or shish kababs. •••

Ingredients: Shish Kebabs (Chicken and Beef) 1/2 pound chicken breast 1/2 pound steak of choice 1 green bell pepper 2 baby vidalia onions marinade (olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, old bay, paprika) Hummus 8 ounces chickpeas 6 cloves garlic peeled 1 cup tahini sauce (sesame-seed based) 1 lemon (squeezed) salt to taste Baba Ganoush 1 large eggplant 4 cloves garlic peeled 1 cup tahini sauce 1 lemon (squeezed) Salt to taste Vegetable Mix 8 ounces fresh green beans 8 ounces cauliflower or 1 small floret 4 ounces carrots or 2 large carrots 1 12-ounce can tomato sauce 4 garlic cloves salt and pepper to taste Cooking instructions Shish kebabs Marinate shish kebabs for at least 24 hours. Cut meats into 1-inch square chunks. Place meat onto skewer with 1/2-inch square peppers then half onion with skin on. Repeat process. Cook on grill. Hummus Take all ingredients and put into food processor. Garnish with tomatoes or pickles and extra virgin olive oil. Baba Ganoush Peel eggplant and cut lengthwise into 1/2 inch slices. Cook on grill for 5 to 10 minutes or until tender. Cut eggplant into 1/2-inch squares. Place in bowl with finely chopped garlic, tahini sauce, lemon juice and salt. Garnish with tomatoes or pickles and extra virgin olive oil. Vegetable mix Bring 6 cups water to a boil. Cut ends of green beans and cut in half if desired. If using cauliflower florets, cut off the leaves and stem. Peel and cut carrots in half lengthwise. Then cut carrots into 1/4-inch half moons. Add vegetables to pot of water and cook until tender. Bring tomato sauce to a low simmer, add vegetables, garlic, salt and pepper. Note: Rice is plain and can be made by following instructions on package. Recipes are compliments of Naji Jabbour of the Oasis Grill at the Ramada Inn in WilkesBarre.

OUR REPORTER RECOMMENDS • Chicken shawarma: The sauce has a hint of refreshing mint, and the spices are something special, but, beware, the dish can get messy. • Bulanee kachaloo: Fried turnovers stuffed with spicy mashed potatoes and a blend of herbs and spices are mouth-watering.

TAHINI Yield: 4 cups. • 5 cups sesame seeds • 1 1/2 cups olive oil or vegetable oil Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Toast sesame seeds for 5 to 10 minutes, tossing frequently with a spatula. Do not allow to brown. Cool for 20 minutes. Pour sesame seeds into food processor and add oil. Blend for 2 minutes. Check for consistency. The goal is a thick yet pourable texture. Add more oil and blend until desired consistency. Tahini should be stored in the refrigerator in a tightly closed container and will keep for up to 3 months.

spices. Rosewater is used in various dishes to add a kick, and Tajak said people in the Middle East use it in drinks on a hot day. Sheer yakh is a dessert of homemade ice cream topped with rosewater, as well as cardamom, almonds and rooh afza, a syrup. The typical cooking methods for Middle Eastern food, and at Exhale, are simply sautéing and grilling, making for healthier meals and an ease of preparation at home. Recipes for tahini, a paste used in several dishes, and kofta, on skewers, were found on about.com. •••

“This is how we would eat back home,” Exhale co-operator Mohammad Tajak said. “We wanted to bring a bit of that culture here.” Tajak, 33, is intimately familiar with Middle Eastern traditions. He was born in Afghanistan and moved to the States in 1988. He and his brother Shoaib opened Exhale in March 2010. Middle Eastern cuisine is rife with spices that set it apart from other fare, Tajak says. Most often used are cardamom, saffron, cumin and turmeric, as well as special and secret combinations. But that doesn’t mean those who can’t take the heat should avoid these kitchens. “A big misconception is that the food is hot and spicy, but it isn’t,” Tajak said. “We don’t eat it that way back home, so we wouldn’t do that here, but if someone did want a spicier dish they could certainly request it. The chef just needs to add a little extra.” For those just venturing into the world of Middle Eastern food, Tajak recommends the kabob, which is “kind of universal.” Exhale has several varieties. “The tikka kabobs are those where the meat, which can be lamb, chicken or beef, is cut into cubes,” Tajak said. “A shami kabob incorporates beef and potatoes, and a kofta kabob has ground meat mixed with spices. The meat is actually molded around the skewer.” Another introductory-type item is shawarma, a name those who have seen cinematic blockbuster “The Avengers” might recognize. Fictional hero Tony Stark makes reference to the food, based upon the constructs of a Greek gyro. “Gyro meat is cut from a rotating skewer, whereas ours is grilled,” Tajak said. “We put it on lightly toasted pita bread and cover it with hummus, lettuce, tomato, onion and our homemade sauce.” “A lot of people don’t realize that the majority of what we make is not canned. It’s fresh and from scratch, and we try our best to visit local businesses and farmers markets for our ingredients.” Someone who wants to try an authentic Middle Eastern dish can look to qabli pallow. “We bake basmati rice and add meat of your choice, then we also put in carrots, raisins, almonds and pistachios,” Tajak explained. “We try to layer it in such a way that you get a taste of every ingredient in each bite.” There’s also a solid selection for those of the vegetarian persuasion. The most notable item on that menu is the bouranee banjan, which is eggplant sautéed with tomatoes, onions, garlic and a blend of special

Couple headed for the altar trips over boyfriend’s fling with woman Dear Abby: My boyfriend, “Wally,” and I have been friends for several years, and a couple for nearly two. He brought up the subject of marriage, and we agreed that we are likely altar-bound. Only one thing gives me pause. A few months ago, Wally got plastered and had a fling with a female friend. He regretted it immediately and said it was what made him realize I am “The One.” The problem is, the woman is still pursuing him. She buys him gifts or brings him vegan meals. Because Wally is a vegetarian and I’m not, I suspect she’s trying to prove she would be a better partner for him.

DEAR ABBY ADVICE I have asked Wally to cut off contact with her, but he won’t. He feels bad for her because she has few friends. What do you suggest I do? — Unwilling to Share Dear Unwilling To Share: Raise the subject of marriage with Wally again, and tell him his continued contact with the woman he cheated with is hurtful to you. Ask how he would feel if you continued to see and accept gifts from a man you’d had a drunken fling with. If he says he wouldn’t be thrilled, perhaps he’ll be able to understand your reaction to what’s

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

going on. If he says he’d be fine with it, then Wally isn’t the man for you. Dear Abby: My 13-year-old niece, “Amelia,” is a beautiful young girl. She has only two flaws — she lies constantly and she’s boy-crazy. I have to listen to my sister talk on and on about how hard it is to trust her. My sister and brother-in-law have set many rules and limits for my niece. Amelia knows she can’t have a boyfriend until she’s 16. Lately, she keeps trying to get boys’ phone numbers and meet with them. She has also been caught sexting three times and lying about it. As her punishment this time, my sister and her husband shaved Amelia’s head. I am shocked and devastated for my niece. When I try to talk to my sister

CRYPTOQUOTE

about my concerns, she tells me she had no choice because her daughter had so many warnings. I don’t know what to do. I think my niece will need counseling. My sister says I am overreacting. Am I? Or did she? — Worried Aunt in Utah Dear Worried Aunt: Amelia’s parents went off the deep end. What was done to her was awful, and you are not overreacting. Instead of shaving her daughter’s head, your sister should have tried to understand why she is lying and desperately seeking attention from boys. If I ever heard of a family in need of family therapy, it is your sister’s. Love, attention and less draconian punishments are what Amelia needs, not months of public shaming.

Dear Abby: My husband committed suicide 20 years ago. He left a note, but I never shared it with our children, as they were very young at the time. They are all happy, successful adults. Should I share the note with them? I still have it. — Anonymous Down South Dear Anonymous: Your children are probably curious about why their father chose to end his life. Let them know the note exists, share it with them if they would like to see it. To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, selfaddressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Were you born this way, or did you become this way? The only rightful conclusion is: It doesn’t matter. Embracing the you that you’ve become without further question is your best move yet. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). When was the last time you wrote a letter to a famous person or to someone who could change the laws and systems by which society abides? Reaching out today will be lucky for you. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There’s someone you feel drawn to talk with, and there is absolutely no reason why you shouldn’t. Today is perfect. Sit down and tell this person what you’re thinking. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The only thing more delicious than a juicy opportunity is the ability to recognize it when it comes along. Street smarts, practicality and financial savvy will help you turn a profit. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There is little between you and the one who has your heart; no gap to bridge or wound to heal, but maybe there’s a phone call to make. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The one you love is going through some drama that you may or may not be a part of. If you’re separate from the angst, continue to stay far away from it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Be careful about telling people what you want to learn, because information has a way of expanding to the capacity of your curiosity. Bite-sized knowledge will delight you — but anything more and you’re stuffed.

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). Reach out, and another person will reach toward you to close the space. Go forward, and you’ll be accepted and embraced. Think the best of people, and your open mind and heart bring out the best, too. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your original expectation of someone may have proved wrong, but all is not lost. This person will contribute something valuable and quite different from what you anticipated. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Learning gets frustrating. Not understanding as fast as you’d like, you may be tempted to quit. Better to take a breather than to make a rash decision. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You can be proud of the relationships you’ve built. You also know that friendship needs to be continually cared for. You’ll give your personal life more attention, focusing on the friendships that inspire you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A minor adventure, like the adventure of buying groceries or getting to work, will lead to a more substantial journey in the weeks to come. Your attitude makes it so. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 13). You’ll use your talent for choosing the perfect name for things and give your goals, projects and responsibilities a touch of magic. You’ll love the groove you hit in your personal life over the next four weeks. Travel in July will be truly special. Libra and Cancer people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 12, 3, 33 and 18.
