FUNDING WOES

Wilkes-Barre man trying to save Sterling was chef there for many years

Medical college cuts back Scranton school impacted by loss of $4 million in state funding and sour national economy. By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com

SCRANTON – The loss of an expected $4 million in state funding – coupled with the continuing tough economic times – has forced The Commonwealth Medical College to trim faculty by eight members and make cuts in other staff and programs, interim President Dr. Lois Margaret Nora said Tuesday. The total budget has been sliced by more than $3 million – a reduction of more than 10 percent, Nora said. The cuts won’t impact the college’s core mission to train new Nora doctors and medical professionals, Nora stressed. To keep that promise, she noted six of the eight faculty members who will not return next year were heavily involved in research or administration and did not spend a lot of time teaching.

Fred George worked at the Hotel Sterling for more than two decades and pickets every weekend to try to save the Wilkes-Barre structure from demolition.

Fred George is pictured at the rear left in this postcard showing the Sterling’s popular smorgasbords. This buffet featured 65 ‘Pennsylvania Dutch-style’ foods.

George has a bad back and arthritis but refuses to give up and turn his back on the deteriorating hotel because it meant something to the area and his own life’s work in the culinary field. He was a teenager when he first stepped foot inside the imposing structure in 1949, looking for work to help support his parents

WILKES-BARRE -- Every Friday and Saturday, Fred George grabs his cane and the protest signs in his car trunk to faithfully picket with others who don’t want the Hotel Sterling demolished.

Dupont council member chided

By B. GARRET ROGAN Times Leader Correspondent

DUPONT -- Borough council member Bernie Zielinski was rebuked several times during Tuesday night’s meeting for attempting to publicly discuss private personnel issues. Specifically, Zielinski questioned the legitimacy of Police Chief Anthony DeMark’s sick leave. Several members of council as well as several residents in attendance at the meeting spoke out against Zielinski for his comments. After Zielinski tried to persist with the issue, Council President Stanley Knick threatened to have him “removed.” “The last time somebody had me removed, they had to take me out of the room in handcuffs,” Zielinski said. “You better be ready to do that again.” Dupont Solicitor Eric Dingle declined to comment when Zielinski asked whether Knick could

actually have him removed. After the meeting, Knick acknowledged that DeMark was in fact on a legitimate sick leave but declined to comment further on the matter. In other business, resident John Tetlak presented council with a rough sketch of what it might take to establish a community garden in an unused field on Garden Road. Tetlak was inspired to make the suggestion after reading about a town in Colorado that profited financially from its community garden by selling produce to nearby stores. Dupont owns a 33-acre plot of land on Garden Road. Knick said previous councils had intended to create a sports complex on the land but the plan never materialized. The borough was recently awarded a $461,000 grant to purchase the machinery to convert yard waste into compost. Borough officials are currently plan-

ROSS TWP. -- Supervisors passed a resolution Tuesday night that will require employees to pass a physical every two years. The resolution was designed to fill a loophole in the Pennsylvania vehicle code that exempts local governments from requiring a physical exam every two years to maintain a Commercial Drivers License, or CDL. “We have seen issues develop

at other places,” said Stan Davis, supervisor chairman. “It makes sense to do it. It protects us and our employees.” The resolution upholds the required two-year exam for all employees employed as full-time equipment operators. It states that any expense from the exam that exceeds what is covered by the township’s employee health insurance will be reimbursed to the employee after receipts and verification of the physical are given to the township.

NESCOPECK – Council on Monday night discussed radio problems the borough police department has been experiencing with Luzerne County Emergency Communications. Officials said contact has been inconsistent, in particular with the portable radios the police have been using. Generally it was stated the problem stems from what officials described as the “repeater transmitter” on

Shickshinny Mountain. Councilman Richard Powlus said he met previously with the county about this issue, but the meetings have yet to produce a resolution. Council Chairwoman Sandy Wright suggested that because contact with the county has failed to resolve the problems, future talks may instead have to be scheduled with the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency. Wright’s position was supported by Powlus.

The council members were highly supportive of Tetlak’s plan. Council member Mark Kowalczyk invited Tetlak to attend the borough’s next recreation board meeting. “Sometimes one good idea is all it takes,” Kowalczyk said. Also on Tuesday, Knick announced the borough will receive a $100,000 state grant to fund the construction of a new garage on Commerce Road.

He served as a medic in the U.S. Army during World War II. He was a member of the VFW Post 4909 of Dupont and the Dupont Polish Club. Michael retired from I.D.C. Dress Carriers, Plains Township. One of Michael’s greatest pleasures was the time he spent in his garden. He also enjoyed collecting coins. An incredibly social person, he took great interest in others and enjoyed the company of family and close friends. Deeply devoted to the military, Michael’s time in the Army helped to define his life in important ways. Family was the absolute center of Michael’s life and his greatest joy. The richness and fullness of

his life was shaped by time spent with his family. Michael is survived by his wife of 62 years, the former Genevieve (Mlodzienski) Pramick; his children, Ron Pramick of Suscon; Deborah and her husband, Tony Pisano, of Florida; Gary and his wife, Barbara, of Clarks Summit; Mark and his wife, Linda, of Avoca; and Marcia Pramick and her companion, Ken Porzucek, of Pittston.

Louise (Stretanski) Perrins June 2, 2011

ouise (Stretanski) Perrins passed away after a long illness on Thursday, June 2, 2011, at the Heritage House Hospice, Wilkes-Barre. She graduated from the Hanover Township Memorial High School and was a former member of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross Church, Buttonwood, Hanover Township. She was also a longtime resident of Wilkes-Barre. Surviving are a daughter, Irene Hoffman, Wilkes-Barre; son, Sgt. Mark Hoffman, Texas;

brother, Joseph Stretanski, Connecticut; sister, Diane Beck, Virginia; four grandchildren; as well as two great-granddaughters. Friends and family will gather for a memorial service at 10 a.m. Friday at the Charles V. Sherbin Funeral Home, 630 Main Road, Hanover Green section of Hanover Township. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to a charity of choice in Louise’s memory.

Officials said these same problems have been being experienced by borough firemen but not to the extent of police. The need to update equipment was discussed, but the general argument was that the transmitter is the problem. In other business, after a proposal by Powlus, who is chairman of the streets committee, council moved to have Pennsylvania Department of Transportation engineers execute a major portion of the planning for the pending Broad Street project. The remainder, Powlus submitted, would be assigned to Dennis Peters Engineers, Berwick. Powlus said the project, involving the milling of the present pavement and the installation of paving, would span from Third Street to Second Street and is intended to be financed by state Liquid Fuels Funds. Powlus said $42,000 in liquid fuels money already has been allocated, but he said he anticipates several more thousand will be received in the near future. Powlus also got the approval to buy three red lights at $45 each for traffic signals and three green lights at $65 each. Also, Paul Learn, chairman of the police committee, said four candidates have submitted resumes for one position on the police force. He said interviews have been scheduled between June 20 and 23. In conjunction with Nescopeck’s Community Days observance on Aug. 20, it was stated that a 5K run has been scheduled, along with a parade and other activities normally slated on that day.

Video conferencing for hearings in county seen as aid to safety and cost control

Cameras saving courts money

By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Luzerne County is among dozens of counties statewide that have seen significant savings in the cost to transport prisoners, thanks to video conferencing systems that have been installed with the help of the state judiciary. County officials estimated the court system saved $65,601 in March alone by utilizing video conferencing to hold hearings for 66 inmates in the county prison and 71 inmates at state correctional facilities, according to a survey by state Supreme Court. All told, the 55 counties that responded to the survey saved a combined total of $1.75 million in transportation costs in March, according to a report released last week by the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts. “It’s been a tremendous tool for the court system,” said Fred Pierantoni, who serves a president judge of the county’s district magisterial judges. “It’s a great savings to municipalities and

there’s a safety issue of not having to transport an inmate.” Luzerne County began utilizing video conferencing in 2009 thanks to a grant from the AOPC that allowed for the installation of video equipment in all 17 district judge offices and the county prison. Luzerne County Prison Warden Joseph Piazza the video setup has been a huge benefit to the prison and sheriff’s office. “If you have to transport an inmate, you have to take them down, search them and get them ready. Then an officer or deputy sheriff has to transport them. You are tying up personnel, plus you’re creating a security situation,” Piazza said. “Whenever you have to move an inmate out of jail, you’re always at risk of something going wrong.” The setup is relatively simple. An inmate will sit in a room at the county prison that’s equipped with a camera that transmits the image to a monitor in a judge’s courtroom. The inmate is afforded the opportuni-

ty to have an attorney present in the hearing room. If there is a need for private consultation, the hearing room can be cleared of all persons but the inmate and attorney. Piazza said he is pushing for the county to do even more hearings via video, particularly for inmates who are known

to be a security risk. “I had a trial for a pretty nasty inmate the other day. He’s been charged with assault by prisoner on staff. I have to put a spit shield on him every time I move him. We had to drag him over to court. It See CAMERAS, Page 4A

Senate confirms Nanticoke native and Wilkes grad Richard Allan. He’s the third on cabinet with area roots.

HARRISBURG – The state Senate on Monday unanimously confirmed Richard Allan as secretary of the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. He is the third cabinet member with Northeastern Pennsylvania roots. Allan, 57, of Camp Hill, was appointed to the post by Gov. Tom Corbett on March 23 and had been working as acting secretary since then. Allan, a native of Nanticoke and a graduate of Wilkes University, said he is anxious to get to work. First and foremost on Allan’s agenda is his budget. He said DCNR Allan was not cut in the governor’s proposed budget, but he said he needs to determine where the critical needs are.Allan noted that DCNR has seen budget cuts each of the last eight years, losing personnel and funding for operations. He said that despite the cuts, attendance at state parks is ahead of schedule compared to last year. “The use of state parks is way up compared to a year ago,” Allan said. “We also have a lot of infrastructure work that needs to be done. We need to make a lot of upgrades because nothing has been touched for eight years.” On Marcellus Shale, Allan said the state holds leases on forest land. He said he will ensure that the industry has the least amount of surface impact no matter what type of lease there is. “We have guidance procedures and management practices in place as we do monitoring, not enforcement,” Allan said. “We have to assure that everything is being done properly, and so far, everything is going well.” DCNR employs approximately 3,000 people, 1,000 being seasonal hires. DCNR was established on July 1, 1995. As secretary, Allan will be responsible for heading the department that is charged with maintaining and preserving the 117 state parks; managing the 2.1 million acres of state forest land; providing information on the state’s ecological and geologic resources; and establishing community conservation partnerships with grants and technical assistance to benefit rivers, trails, greenways, local parks and recreation, regional heritage parks, open space and natural areas.

Work continues on the $12.7 million Coal Street Realignment Project that will widen Coal Street into a five-lane roadway and create ‘a vital gateway’ between I-81 and the downtown, Mayor Tom Leighton said. Phase II of the project – also estimated at $12 million – has not yet been funded. Phase II would extend Coal Street to connect with Union Street. The project will be going on until the summer of 2012, expanding the street to five lanes and changing the intersection with Wilkes-Barre Boulevard.

Plymouth shooting case sent to county court Girl was killed when gun went off as brothers struggled over handgun in apartment. By ED LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

NANTICOKE – Loading a bullet and sliding the action of a 9 mm handgun, Martin Joseph Beamer just wanted to get his brother, John Bogdon, to leave his Plymouth residence on May 1.

When the two brothers struggled, the gun went off, with a round hitting their friend, 17-year-old Samantha Claudio. Claudio died from a single gunshot wound to her chest, Luzerne County Chief Deputy Coroner Bill Lisman testified during a preliminary hearing Tuesday before District Judge Donald Whittaker. Beamer’s attorney, Thomas Cometa, said the shooting was a tragic accident. Assistant District Attorney Frank McCabe called the shooting “negligent

and reckless.” After nearly 90 minutes of testimony, Whittaker ruled McCabe established a case against Beamer, 24, sending charges of involuntary manslaughter, aggravated assault, theft and two counts of reckless endangerment to county court. Security was heightened before and during the hearing. A sheriff ‘s canine was led through council chambers where the hearing was held, and peoSee SHOOTING, Page 4A

Police said they will file charges of driving under the influence and traffic violations against a man who allegedly rammed a police cruiser during a traffic stop in May. Officer David McDermott said he stopped a green Jeep Grand Cherokee parked in the middle of Wyoming Avenue near Yates Street at 10:23 p.m. May 26. A vehicle of the same make and model had earlier been reported for erratic driving, McDermott said. As McDermott was getting out of his cruiser, he said, the driver of the Jeep, Michael P. Cheremsak, 51, of Dallas, backed into the cruiser. McDermott said Cheremsak could not stand on his own. He was taken by ambulance to Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center. His blood alcohol level was found to be .337 percent, more than four times the legal limit. Police said they will file the following charges today: two counts of DUI, including driving under the highest rate of alcohol, reckless endangering and several traffic charges. FORTY FORT

Arrests in cheese theft

Police on Friday arrested two men on charges they conspired to steal 200 pounds of cheese from a restaurant supplier Monday. Officer Brian Casella said surveillance video at Maine Source showed a man placing four 50-pound boxes of mozzarella cheese into a cart and leaving the store, and a witness said the man may have left with another in a red Pontiac Sunfire. The cheese was valued at approximately $650. Casella said Plymouth police located the vehicle with two men in it later that day at Pepe’s Pizza in Plymouth, and Forty Fort police identified the passenger, Richard Harris, 45, of Pittston, as the man in the video. He was arraigned Tuesday morning on retail theft charges. Police also arrested the driver, Bryant Harris, 28, of Wilkes-Barre, on charges of conspiracy to commit retail theft and weapons not to be carried without a license, Casella said. The second charge stemmed from a sword with a 12-inch blade found on the floor of the Pontiac, Casella said.

Munchak fraud charge tied to health care firm Testimony: Company won rich contract while paying commissioner for client list.

By CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES chughes@golackawanna.com

SCRANTON – The charges of tax fraud and filing a false tax returned levied against Lackawanna County Commissioner A.J. Munchak appear to stem from the 2005 sale of a client list to New Hope Healthcare Inc. According to testimony heard Tuesday from Internal Revenue Service Revenue Agent Raymond Eppley, Munchak deposited six checks worth $42,000 into a personal bank account from May 26 to Nov. 4, 2005. The proceeds stemmed from the sale of a client list belonging to Munchak’s Northeast Billing Services Inc. (NBS). In October 2005, New Hope obtained a $30,000 per month, 14-month contract with Lackawanna County, all while making payments to Munchak for the list.

would have been a lot easier to do it through video conferencing,” he said. The state Supreme Court modified rules of criminal procedure in 2003 to permit courts to use video conferencing for certain types of hearings, including a defendant’s initial arraignment on criminal charges, with or without the defendant’s consent. Other types of hearings, such as preliminary hearings and bail revocations, can also be done via video, but only if the defendant agrees to give up his or her right to appear before the judge in person.

bank deposits and cash payments toward his lines of credit amounted to $380,749 – all while Cordaro was claiming $122,725 in taxable income in 2005 and losses of $252,474 in 2006 and $8,900 in 2007. Officials say Cordaro failed to report additional income totaling $408,500 in those years. It’s alleged that Acker Associates partner P.J. McLaine and Highland Associates executive Don Kalina gave the former commissioner cash during that time out of fear of losing their county contracts. “If the jury does not believe the witnesses, there is no tax claim,” IRS Revenue Agent Raymond Eppley said under cross examination from Cordaro’s co-counsel, Jerry Johnson, on Tuesday. But if they do, it leaves Cordaro on the hook for $98,856 in taxes, according to Eppley’s calculations based on filed returns and testimony that began last week. The trips to the Playboy Mansion, including a seven-day vacation beginning March 9, 2005, were paid for by Mark Boriosi, he testified Tuesday. Boriosi was the former partner with Costanzo in

According to Eppley, New Hope cut a $10,000 check on May 26, 2005, to Munchak that was deposited into his account. Subsequent checks on June 23 and Aug. 1 were marked “1st installment” and “2nd installment” in the memo. Two more $3,000 checks followed on Sept. 6 and Oct. 4 before the approval of the contract on Oct. 25. A final $20,000 check, marked “Final payment for acquisition,” was written on Nov. 4, 2005. In his 2005 statement of financial interest, Munchak did not list New Hope as a direct or indirect source of income, and it is not clearly claimed on his tax returns. “That $42,000 was the corporation’s money,” Eppley said, referring to NBS. “A.J. took the money from the corporation.” Attorney Chris Powell argued that the $42,000 was not reported because of an outstanding loan of $90,113 Munchak paid to NBS, but Eppley said that was an example of “diversion of income.”

Luzerne County President Judge Thomas Burke said the county court system primarily uses video conferencing for hearings to lift bench warrants and formal arraignments and, on a lesser degree, some guilty pleas. It’s also been used to hold certain types of hearings afforded to state prison inmates who are appealing their convictions. Burke said the court typically sets aside two or three days a week for hearing on bench warrants. He’s in favor of expanding the use of video in other types of hearings as well. “So long as due-process safeguards are maintained, I think it makes good sense to find areas in which we can be more efficient,” Burke said.

He pleaded guilty to one count each of filing a false tax return and conspiracy to commit wire fraud in relation to the scheme he and Costanzo built using ECA and a second “sham business,” Endless Mountains Investigations. Boriosi was sentenced in August 2009 to 10 months incarceration and three years of supervised release. Boriosi said he paid for the majority of the trips that he, Cordaro and Costanzo embarked on to California using cash and an American Express card. He said he was reimbursed through ECA for $511dinners, $123 lunches and $10,500 in entry fees to a Playboysponsored golf tournament on Jan. 5, 2005, that he paid for by check. “Is that money that would have been paid by Lackawanna County?” Assistant U.S. Attorney Bruce Brandler asked Boriosi, regarding his reimbursement. “Yes,” he replied. “By Lackawanna County taxpayers.” “Yes,” he said, again. He said he also was paid back through EMI for a one-day trip to a New York City cigar convention, The Big Smoke. Boriosi said he and ex-wife Ann

gave $5,500 in reported campaign contributions to the Friends of Munchak and Cordaro from March 2003 to December 2008. Unreported contributions included Cordaro’s share in the Playboy Mansion trips -- $4,000 in 2004 and $7,500 in 2005 – and $2,000 in cash Boriosi said he passed to him in the bathroom of the Glenmaura National Golf Club during a fundraiser. ECA was awarded a five-year contract in 2006 on an escalating pay scale that would have hit $175,692 in 2011. Commissioner Mike Washo voted against it. But on Sept. 5, 2007, FBI Special Agent April Phillips testified, the Clarks Summit-based business was searched. “We had information that ECA and EMI were stealing money from the county,” Phillips said.

Special agents shared information about the raid, meeting with Munchak first and then with Cordaro in their county offices. When informed of the possible scheme, Phillips said Cordaro alleged the previous fund administrator, Hennigan-Ferrario, was “stealing millions from the county.” He also asked the agents to keep the ECA incident quiet. “He specifically asked us if we could not talk with the other commissioners,” Phillips told Cordaro’s lead attorney, William Costopoulos, under cross examination. When he learned that Munchak was already informed, he told the agents that he’d “look into” the problem. The trial resumes at 10 a.m. today before U.S. District Judge A. Richard Caputo in the federal courthouse in Scranton.

SHOOTING

when a shot was fired, striking Claudio. Bogdon said Beamer dropped the gun and ran to Claudio, who had collapsed on the kitchen floor. Beamer put his hand on the gunshot wound to slow the bleeding, Bogdon testified. Cometa said Beamer did not intend to shoot anyone, and only “slid the action” on the firearm to make a noise to scare Bogdon. After the shooting, Beamer stayed with Claudio and cooperated with investigators. McCabe said Beamer was “reckless” and placed all three at risk when he loaded the firearm. McCabe further said Beamer could have dropped the firearm at any time when he struggled with his brother. Beamer remains jailed at the county prison for lack of $250,000 bail.

Shawnee Ave. watching television when Claudio stopped by at about 10 p.m. Bogdon said that when a movie ended, he asked Claudio when she was leaving. Beamer became upset and told Bogdon to apologize to Claudio. Words were exchanged. “He pulled out a gun and pointed it at me, told me to get out,” Bogdon said. Bogdon testified he was standing toe to toe with Beamer, and they were wrestling one another

A man wearing a protective mask carries his son on his shoulders on a street blanketed in volcanic ash from Chile’s Puyehue-Cordon Caulle volcano that began falling again Tuesday over Villa La Angostura in southern Argentina. Scientists say the volcano’s eruption has diminished, although they warn that ash likely will keep spewing out for at least several more days.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — President Barack Obama told Puerto Ricans on Tuesday that he is committed to the success and self-determination of the U.S. island territory, welcome words that could help him with Puerto Rican voters in all states as the 2012 election approaches. Obama spoke to Puerto Ricans excited to host a U.S. president for the first time since John F. Kennedy stopped here in 1961, an event that’s still remembered fondly. Residents of Puerto Rico are U.S. citizens

but cannot vote in presidential general elections — only in primaries — one of many factors that give rise to a sense of second-class citizenship among some here. In remarks to a friendly crowd at a welcoming ceremony at the airport in San Juan, Obama quickly turned to the decades-old debate about the island’s status, which has some pushing for statehood or even independence. The president reaffirmed his support for a referendum in which island voters would resolve the matter for themselves, eliciting cheers when he said: “When thepeopleofPuertoRicomake a clear decision, my administration will stand by you.” The words could resonate not just here but with the millions of Puerto Rican voters on

an otherwise lean budget year, the I nHouse on Tuesday strongly voted to

boost funding to take care of the medical needs of the nation’s veterans. After a 411-5 vote for a $72.5 billion measure funding veterans’ programs and military construction projects, the GOP-dominated chamber began a politically charged debate on a food and farm bill. The measure cuts aid for low-income pregnant women and their children and slashes a key overseas food aid program by about one-third below this year’s funding.

SAN FRANCISCO

Rulings favor gay marriage A federal judge on Tuesday upheld a gay judge’s ruling to strike down California’s same-sex marriage ban. Chief U.S. District Judge James Ware said former Chief Judge Vaughn Walker did not have to divulge if he wanted to marry his own gay partner before he declared last year that voter-approved Proposition 8 was unconstitutional. Lawyers for backers of the ban argued Walker should have recused himself or disclosed his relationship because he and his partner stood to personally benefit from the verdict. Meanwhile, the country’s largest consumer bankruptcy court has ruled that the federal law prohibiting samesex marriages is unconstitutional. The Los Angeles-based federal court made the ruling Monday in the case of a gay couple seeking to file a joint bankruptcy petition. A Justice Department lawyer wanted the petition dismissed, citing the Defense of Marriage Act, which limits marriage to a man and a woman.

The strategy surfaced at a meeting of all House Democrats. President Barack Obama spoke bluntly about Weiner in an interview that aired Tuesday. “I can tell you that if it was me, I would resign,” Obama told NBC’s “Today” show. In a rare foray into a congressman’s ethical conduct, Obama said Weiner’s actions were “highly inappropriate.” Weiner’s wife, State Department official Huma Abedin, is due back from an overseas trip early today with her boss, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

WASHINGTON — The Social Security Administration made $6.5 billion in overpayments to people not entitled to receive them in 2009, including $4 billion under a supplemental income program for the very poor, a government investigator said Tuesday. In all, about 10 percent of the payments made by the agency’s Supplemental Security Income program were improper, said Patrick P. O’Carroll Jr., the inspector

general for Social Security. The program has strict limits on income and assets, and most of the overpayments went to people who did not report all their assets, O’Carroll said. Error rates were much smaller for retirement, survivor and disability benefits, which make up the overwhelming majority of Social Security payments, O’Carroll told a congressional panel. “By any standard, the scope of these problems is considerable,” said Rep. Charles Boustany, R-La., chairman of the House Ways and Means Oversight subcommittee. “Regardless of whether a payment occurs because of simple error or outright fraud, improper payments harm Social Security programs in the long

term, jeopardizing benefits for those who may need them in the future. They also cost taxpayers billions of dollars each year.” Social Security also made nearly $1.5 billion in underpayments, raising the total amount of improper payments to $8 billion in the 2009 budget year, O’Carroll said. With lawmakers working to reduce soaring budget deficits, efforts to reduce improper government payments are getting attention in Congress and the White House. In 2009, President Barack Obama directed federal agencies to reduce improper payments, and last year, Congress set a goal of reducing the payments by $50 billion by 2012.

WASHINGTON — The Senate refused to kill a $5 billion annual subsidy for ethanol on Tuesday, backing continued government aid for a Farm Beltbased industry over deficit reduction in an era of record red ink. The 40-59 vote, far short of the 60 needed to advance the measure, reflected regional as well as partisan differences, a split among Republicans — and anything but the final word on the issue. “We continue to spend money that we don’t have on things that we don’t need,” said The 40-59 Sen.

Why would anyone prefer less domestic energy production,” Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said on Monday, when the measure was debated at length. Grassley’s state leads the nation both in harvesting corn and blending it into alternative fuel. Other leading ethanol-producing states are Nebraska, Illinois, Minnesota, South Dakota and Indiana, and all senators from them opposed an end to the subsidy, regardless of political party. Ethanol is blended with gasoline, and subsidized at 45 cents a gallon, with an additional 10 cents for small producers. These tax breaks long have been supported as a way to reduce oil imports by politicians in both parties, emphatically so for many who campaign across Iowa every four years in the state’s kickoff presidential caucuses. But a new emphasis on deficit reduction, particularly among Republicans aligned with tea party activists, has contributed to a shift in the political landscape. As a result, with the current subsidy scheduled to expire at the end of the year, Grassley and other farm state lawmakers support alternative legislation to reduce the tax break without eliminating it for several more years.

Crews race to build up levee ahead of possible flooding Workers try to add at least 3 feet to levee to keep Iowa town from being under at least 10 feet of water from Missouri River.

By GRANT SCHULT and JOSH FUNK Associated Press

HAMBURG, Iowa — Dozens of workers raced Tuesday to add several feet to a levee that now stands as the lone barrier between Hamburg and the floodwaters of the Missouri River that threaten to fill the small town like a bathtub. Crews working for the Army Corps of Engineers hoped to pile at least 3 feet of extra dirt atop the temporary levee. But time was short and the stakes were high: If the levee were to fail, parts of this southwestern Iowa community could be covered by as much as 10 feet of water within days. And the high water could

linger for months. The construction work stirred up a cloud of dust as teams hurried to complete the improvements by this evening. The earthen levee became Hamburg’s last line of defense after the river punched through another levee downstream in northwest Missouri that provided the town’s primary protection. That failure left water gushing through a large gap on a path to inundate the town of 1,100 — unless the other levee can be made taller. Even though the levee breach was downstream, the floodwaters are flowing north to fill AP PHOTO the area around Hamburg because the town Col. Bob Ruch of Army Corps of Engineers sits in a valley. The river has been rising steadily for weeks. discusses a levee to protect Hamburg, Iowa.

Bills tackle corruption, juvie justice Measures authored by Toohil and Boback pass state House and now head to Senate. By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Several bills passed in the state House on Tuesday are on their way to the state Senate in hopes of mending corruption and juvenile justice in Pennsylvania. The anti-corruption bills, authored by area state Reps. Tarah Toohil, R-Butler Township, and Karen Boback, R-Harveys Lake, address the requirement of statistical data on juvenile justice and an amendment to the Public Employee Pension Forfeiture Act that would require the immediate forfeiture of pension benefits when a plea of guilty or no contest is entered, or when a finding of guilty occurs. Another bill, introduced by state Rep. Mike Turzai, R-Allegheny, also passed through the House. It would create a legal avenue for citizens who are victims of an abuse of power and hold public officials who abuse their power accountable. Turzai’s bill would creates a mandatory minimum sentence

of two years for public officials who use their official position to violate someone’s rights and assists in getting restitution for victims. “My bill makes it possible to go online and determine how many children are being sent away to prison,” Toohil said in a press release. “Putting the (Interbranch Commission on Juvenile Justice) recommendations into law will ensure the commonwealth remains vigilant in years to come.” The commission was created by state legislators, with the support of the governor and state Supreme Court, to investigate circumstances that led to corruption in Luzerne County’s juvenile court system. Boback said in a release that her bill was designed to apply to employer contributions to a public pension. Boback said the money contributed by an employee would be returned to the individual.

If there is a withdrawal of a guilty or no contest plea, or the court refuses to accept the plea, the actions wouldn’t affect the pension forfeiture. If there is an acquittal, Boback said, it would result in the reinstitution of full pension benefits. “Perpetrators of public corruption must be held accountable for their actions. If an individual has already admitted culpability or been found guilty of defrauding the public, he or she should not receive the benefit of a public pension,” Boback said. Boback said she began pursing the bill in 2009-10, as a reaction to the “kids for cash” corruption case. “The bills approved (Tuesday) in the House provide additional safeguards for the people of Pennsylvania against corruption,” Boback said. Toohil said her bill would require juvenile information to be compiled and posted on the state’s website. “The ‘kids for cash’ scandal is a terrible mark on our court system,” Toohil said. “These bills will ensure that children’s rights are protected … so that a scandal like this cannot occur again.”

WARRIOR RUN

Proposed burn ban ordinance unveiled By SUSAN DENNEY Times Leader Correspondent

WARRIOR RUN -- Borough Solicitor James Pyrah presented the provisions of a proposed burn ban ordinance at Monday’s borough council meeting. The ordinance would prohibit open burning unless it fell under four excluded categories: recreational fires such as campfires, fires for food or warmth, fires set by officials for fire management or authorized agricultural burning by farmers. Pyrah accepted input from council and residents and will make agreed-upon changes before advertising the ordinance. It will then be presented for a vote at next month’s meeting. Pyrah also announced progress in the Beaumont Street runoff problems that have been affecting several township properties. “We’re going to try for a meeting this Wednesday and get all the principals in one place. We need a starting point to talk about solutions,” he said. He said the problem is complex and a permanent repair will require both access and cost be addressed by the borough.

Comfort the Eﬀicient Way

He praised Mayor Jim Brodginski’s efforts to bring people together to discuss the problem. In another matter, Council President Robert Daylida said PennDOT had denied the borough’s request for a four-way stop sign at the intersection of Front and Hanover streets. Also, Brodginski said water problems in the borough were spreading and he reported three zoning problems this month. He said the borough does not have a zoning officer. He said one is needed and could be retained at no cost to the borough. Several residents complained about water and drainage problems. Other residents complained about owners of domestic animals that were allowed to roam free or disturb neighbors. One resident said he has seen drug deals being made at the borough’s basketball court.

Pyrah said many of the residents’ complaints and concerns were not about criminal violations but code violations. He suggested that the borough contract with a code enforcement officer. He said neighboring Nanticoke and Ashley had code enforcement officers who dealt with these kinds of problems.

Woman faces trial in death Sherry Ann Cease claims she stabbed John Wolfe of Pittston Twp. in self-defense.

Sherry Ann Cease exits the office of District Judge Donald Whittaker in Nanticoke on Tuesday in the custody of state police. She now faces trial on third-degree homicide and voluntary manslaughter charges in the death of John Wolfe, who died from wounds he suffered when Cease admittedly stabbed him in his Plymouth Township home on Nov. 30.

By STEVE MOCARSKY smocarsky@timesleader.com

NANTICOKE – District Judge Donald Whittaker has decided prosecutors have enough evidence to send Sherry Ann Cease to trial on third-degree homicide and voluntary manslaughter charges in the death of John Wolfe, who died from wounds he suffered when Cease admittedly stabbed him in his Plymouth Township home on Nov. 30. Prosecutors say that Cease, 42, is claiming she stabbed Wolfe, 59, in self-defense, but that evidence doesn’t support her claim. Luzerne County Assistant District Attorney Mike Vough called Chief Deputy Coroner William Lisman as his first witness at Cease’s preliminary hearing on Tuesday. Lisman testified Wolfe died from stab wounds to the chest that damaged his lungs and his heart. Lisman deferred some questions from Demetrius Fannick, Cease’s attorney, to Dr. Gary Ross, who performed the autopsy, and to the autopsy report. Neither was available at the hearing. Lisman said Wolfe’s blood alcohol level of “less than 0.1 percent” showed he had consumed a “small amount of alcohol.” Charles Arnold, Cease’s nephew, testified that when he and his aunt arrived at Wolfe’s Prospect Street home on the night of the homicide, they found Cease’s belongings strewn about. Arnold said Cease’s things had been packed in boxes because Cease was staying with Wolfe while looking for a new home. Arnold said Wolfe was upset about his television not working and asked him what was wrong with it. Arnold said he didn’t know. He said Wolfe told him, “That’s OK, because now (Cease’s) TV’s broken.” Arnold said he and Cease went upstairs to her bedroom and found her TV smashed, on the floor. While he picked up the TV, Cease went downstairs. Arnold said he heard arguing and, when he went downstairs,

saw Wolfe standing in the kitchen doorway with his back to him and his right arm outstretched toward Cease. He said he couldn’t see if Wolfe was touching Cease’s throat because Wolfe was “blocking her.” He said Wolfe’s chest was bleeding when he turned around and walked past him toward the front of the house and he then heard his aunt call 911. Under questioning from Fannick, Arnold said he heard Cease yell for Wolfe to stop before he came downstairs. He described Wolfe as about 6 feet, 6 inches tall and about 240 pounds. Trooper Lisa Brogan, a criminal investigator with state police in Wyoming, testified she interviewed Cease a couple hours after the homicide and Cease admitted to stabbing Wolfe because he was choking her and that she did not notice any injuries or redness on Cease’s neck. Fannick had Brogan read a transcript of the interview. According to the transcript, Cease asked Wolfe “why he would do something like that” after finding her TV smashed. After calling her names, Wolfe began pushing her into the kitch-

en and, when she couldn’t back away any farther, she said Wolfe grabbed her neck and she couldn’t break free. Cease said she reached into a drawer, grabbed a knife and stabbed Wolfe once. When he didn’t let go, she stabbed him a second time, Brogan read. Cease said Wolfe told her, “Look what you did to me; you put two holes in me,” before he went into the living room, sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette and then went to a neighbor’s house. Fannick asked Whittaker to dismiss the charges because the stabbing “was clearly in self-defense,” noting in addition to testimony from Arnold about his aunt yelling for Wolfe to get away from her and seeing red marks on her neck, that Cease did not attempt to flee, called 911 and cooperated with police. Vough said that was an argument for a jury to decide. Whittaker agreed and also denied a motion from Fannick to reduce Cease’s $75,000 bail because of the severity of the charges, which seemed to appease members of Wolfe’s family who were in the courtroom but declined comment after the hearing.

By DAVID THOMPSON Williamsport Sun-Gazette

WILLIAMSPORT — For many first responders, arriving at a gas industry emergency may be the first time they ever set foot on a drilling site. Such sites present many hazards and challenges rarely encountered by local emergency personnel. On Monday, ground was broken on a proposed training site to change that. Pennsylvania College of Technology, the state Fire Academy, Lycoming County and the gas industry are partnering to create the Natural Gas Applied Technology and Safety Training Center, which will provide emergency personnel with a realisticviewofwhattheymayencounter at a wide range of gas industry facilities. The proposed facility will be built on a five-acre parcel at the college’s Schneebeli Earth Science Center in Clinton Township. It will contain equipment and structures typically found at gas industryfacilitiesthatcanbeused to create scenarios with which firefighters and other first responders can train. “This is specific to the natural gas industry,” said Tracy L. Brundage, managing director of the college workforce development and continuing education. “All of the props are going to be natural gas-related. (Emergency personnel) will see things that might be

seen on a gas pad.” According to Brundage, the facility will contain “live fire props” to be used to train firefighters on how to deal with actual fires, and “static props” to be used for exercises dealing with non-fire emergencies such as confined space rescues. Brundage said she worked closely with Craig Konkle, who heads the county Community Gas Drilling Task Force Safety Committee and is county Department of Public Safety’s energy development emergency response coordinator, to shepherd the pro-

ject to fruition. They worked to determine if a need existed for such a facility, if it was economically feasible to construct it and whether the gas industry would support it, Brundage said, adding that the answer to those questions was “yes.” The Pennsylvania Independent Oil and Gas Association, a consortium of energy producers in the state, threw its support behind the project. With the organization’s help, the project received donations of money and equipment from the industry, she said. The college provided land and

staff time toward the project, she said. College President Dr. Davie Jane Gilmour said the facility, which should be up and running in October, will provide “handson instruction to help emergency responders understand and effectively respond to incidents they might encounter at gas field drilling and production sites.” Gilmour added that current industryworkersandnewhiresmay alsobenefitbytrainingatthefacility. The facility will be available to emergency responders from throughout the state, she said.

Poll: Pa. voters strongly back drilling, tax on energy companies Sixty-three percent support drilling, and 69 percent approve of an extraction tax. The Associated Press

HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania voters support natural gas drilling in the Marcellus Shale by a 2-to-1 margin, according to a new poll that also shows strong backing for an extraction tax on energy companies. The Quinnipiac University poll released Tuesday shows that 63 percent of Pennsylvanians say the economic benefits of drilling outweigh the envi-

GREAT

ronmental impacts, while 30 percent express the opposite view. The poll appears to reflect the prosperity that drilling has brought to economically struggling regions of the state. Drilling firms and related industries added 72,000 jobs between the fourth quarter of 2009 and the first quarter of 2011 — at an average salary higher than the statewide average, according to the state Labor Department. Meanwhile, 69 percent told pollsters they support a drilling tax on gas companies, unchanged from an April survey. Pennsylvania remains the large-

st gas-drilling state without an extraction tax. The state Senate plans to debate a bill as early as next week that would impose an “impact fee” on natural-gas drilling. “‘Drill, baby, drill,’ is the call from Pennsylvania voters, and ‘tax, baby, tax,’ is the follow-up as voters see natural gas drilling in the Marcellus Shale as an economic plus more than an environmental negative,” said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. “They also see added taxes on gas drillers as one of the few acceptable ways to help balance the budget.”

Gov. Tom Corbett, who promised in his 2010 campaign not to increase taxes or fees, has said recently he would consider a fee that helps drilling communities cope with the impact. The Quinnipiac poll also shows that Pennsylvanians’ views of Corbett differ markedly along gender lines as he approaches six months in office. Pennsylvanians as a whole remain divided over Corbett, with 39 percent approving of the job he’s doing and 38 percent disapproving. The numbers are similar to April’s poll results. But men and women have much different impressions of Corbett’s performance. Tuesday’s results show 30 percent of female respondents approved, compared with 48 percent of men. The 18-point gap is more than twice the 7-point margin in the April 29 poll.

U.S. consumer group to honor Kanjorski Federation will recognize his contributions as legislator to “financial services reforms.” Times Leader staff

WASHINGTON – Former U.S. Rep. Paul E. Kanjorski will be honored today at the 41st annual awards dinner of the Consumer Federation of America at the Capital Hilton. Kanjorski, former 11th District congressman, will be presented the Philip Hart Public Service Award for his work to advance the consumer and public interest as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from 1984 until 2010. After 26 years in the House, Kanjorski lost his seat in November to Lou Barletta, a Republican mayor from Hazleton. According to the press release from the federation, Kanjorski, as a leader in the House Financial Services Committee, “made exceptional contributions to financial services reforms. In the late 1990s, the congressman spearheaded successful efforts to pass legislation ensuring greater consumer access to credit unions. Following Enron and WorldCom scandals,

he led House investor protection efforts that culminated in passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and, since Kanjorski then, fought to preserve these reforms.” The federation also said that in 2003 Kanjorski helped persuade Congress to expand fair credit reporting protections for consumers and in recent years he advocated predatory lending reforms that were incorporated in the Dodd-Frank Act. And during the same period, Kanjorski advanced proposals to reform credit-rating agencies and strengthen the Securities and Exchange Commission that were also included in this legislation. Also being honored are: • James H. Hunt, with the Esther Peterson Consumer Service Award. • Humberto Cruz, with the Betty Furness Consumer Media Service Award. The Consumer Federation of America is an association of 300 nonprofit organizations that was established in 1968 to advance the consumer interest through research, advocacy and education.

Michele Bachmann of Minnesota reserved judgment on her announcement Monday that she will seek the Republican nomination for president. Nienow ran Bachmann’s district office for a year before a split he called mutual.

OTHER OPINION: MONITORING

Use GPS to track past sex offenders

OW THAT THE state Supreme Court has overturned Allegheny County Council’s misguided overstep that tried to restrict where convicted sex offenders could reside, the county can move in a more practical direction. Last year, council passed a bill that ruled out most of Allegheny County as a place of residence for anyone who had been convicted of a crime that required registration under the state Megan’s Law. The ordinance was too far-reaching, it conflicted with state law and it ultimately could have caused more problems than it tried to solve because it would have isolated convicts from the programs, treatment and work they need to stay out of trouble. The residency bill was the brainchild of Councilman Vince Gastgeb, who has been trying to find a way to allay fears that some parents have expressed about convicted sex offenders

who move into neighborhoods. Some of those fears are unsupported by reality, particularly given that studies show sex offenders have the lowest rate of recidivism among criminals. But Gastgeb and District Attorney Stephen A. Zappala have an idea that could help law enforcement officials keep better track of offenders who are on probation or parole. They’d like to see global positioning satellite technology used in electronic monitoring devices. No change in law apparently would be necessary, because judges and corrections officials are able to put conditions on individuals when they are released from incarceration. If monitoring bracelets can be a cost-effective way for law enforcement officials to make sure convicted sex offenders comply with the terms of their release, they’re an option worth pursuing.

LETTERS FROM READERS

Our homeless neighbors need a helping hand

applaud the message of The Times Leader’s editorial regarding the plight of the homeless in Northeastern Pennsylvania (“Homeless plight is ours to solve,” June 8). When I grew up in Wilkes-Barre and lived through the Agnes Flood, the Wyoming Valley deservedly was known as the “Valley with a Heart.” No matter that this was an economically depressed area; people were willing to share what little they had to aid those less fortunate. After all, that’s what the Golden Rule told us to do. In today’s materialistic society, many people seem to feel that it’s fine to ignore the needy in our midst. Why not? After all, most of them are losers; they’ll never be productive and if they need help, then some government or private agency will take care of them, right? We’re too busy in this down economy to give our hard-earned funds away. Why can’t those unfortunates just disappear? Well, it’s time to wake up and take matters into our hands. We are the government and we are the people who fund those private agencies. Our elected officials are mainly concerned that voting citizens won’t be bothered by the homeless sleeping in libraries and hotel lobbies; we are assured that the police can handle the vagrants if they present a problem. Wouldn’t it be kinder, and more costeffective, to provide a safe haven where the homeless can have their basic needs met? For example, Reach Inc. needs only an $18,000 grant to continue its operations. That’s a small amount to ask for helping our fellow citizens. It’s also smart business, considering the costs of arresting and jailing people for trespassing and other offenses. Let’s be penny-wise in this case and find the funding necessary to support the safety network for our neighbors. William F. Loftus Harveys Lake

Payers of bribe money shouldn’t claim ignorance

find it hard to understand the ignorance of businessmen who claim to be proud, upstanding citizens while at the same time willingly giving what they now call “shake down” or bribe money to politicians. I guess like Eliot Spitzer, Anthony Weiner, Bill Clinton and so many others, getting caught is tough! Pretending to be better than everyone else is a way to cope. Being stupid and not knowing that paying money to a politician in order to keep a job or contract is equal to buying an expensive item for cheap and

Track championships had unfair playing field

hank you, Paul Sokoloski, for your commentary in The Times Leader regarding the lack of common sense and good judgment on display at the recent District 2 AAA Track and Field championships. Not only was Wyoming Valley West’s pole vaulter the recipient of a bad break, but also the district’s female shot putter, who happened to be the No. 1 seed in the event, suffered the same consequence because of the officials’ poor judgment. The shot put event was being held at the same time as the pole vault event, and to say it was raining is an understatement. The shot put event began in a downpour, and what happened to that girl breaks my heart. Being the top seed, she was scheduled to throw in the first flight. In addition, the girl was wearing glasses; I don’t have to tell you what happens to glasses in the rain. In their infinite wisdom, the officials started the event, then postponed it after only one of three flights had completed its preliminary throws. The girls who had thrown in the downpour were told by officials that if the entire preliminary round was not completed, then the event would be restarted. Well, needless to say, that is not what happened. The girls from the first flight threw in the downpour. Then the girls from the next two flights were allowed to throw Saturday morning in much better conditions. Please explain to me how that is fair. Since they were not allowed to compete on an even playing field, several of the girls who threw on Wednesday, including the event’s top seed, did not qualify for the finals. What’s unfortunate is that officials who apparently did not know the rules were assigned to a district championship event and it was the kids who suffered the consequences.

Pancreatic cancer needs to be funding priority

uesday was the fifth annual Pancreatic Cancer Advocacy Day. I urge all of you to please go to www.pancan.org for instructions on how to contact your two, U.S. senators and U.S. representative and ask them to support the Pancreatic Cancer Research and Education Act. It is estimated that 43,140 Americans were diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2010 and that approximately 36,800 people will die within the first year of diagnosis. Only 6 percent survive more than five years, making this the highest mortality rate of all the major cancers. Pancreatic cancer is difficult to diagnose; signs and symptoms usually do not appear until pancreatic cancer is quite advanced and surgical removal isn’t possible. Little is known about the risk factors and there are no early detection methods. Treatment options are extremely limited and rarely work. The National Cancer Institute allocates only 2 percent of its $5 billion annual budget for pancreatic cancer research. Hence, the poor outcomes for those diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. The Pancreatic Cancer Research and Education Act will change this. The act will ensure appropriate funding, research, awareness, early detection methods and better treatment options. Please urge your elected officials to make pancreatic cancer research a priority and support this act. My husband, who is only 45 years old and has two young children, has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and these statistics are unacceptable. Without your support these statistics will not change. Tammy Saunders Scranton

Writer urges donations to W-B Pro-Life Center

he next time your school, business, church or organization is looking to donate to a worthy cause, please consider the Wilkes-Barre Pro-Life Center. The center provides baby essentials for women with unplanned pregnancies. It is in need of funds to continue its lifesaving work. For further information, please call 826-1819.

and siblings. An uncle worked there as a part-time butcher and suggested the GAR High School student apply for a job as a busboy. George worked in the coffee shop and was later assigned to clear tables in the hotel dining rooms. Fine dining was a foreign concept to the Wilkes-Barre teen, and he learned to discreetly remove the china dishes from linen-covered tables when customers finished eating, catching glimpses of dignitaries and business owners whose names were well-known in the Wyoming Valley. Drawn to the kitchen He was drawn to the bustle of the kitchen and was taught to make sandwiches added to a heated luncheon wagon he carted into the hotel’s Treasure Island Bar and Lounge. “All the judges and officials from the courthouse used to come there for lunch,” he said, still able to recall some of their distinguishing facial features and voices. Though he was content to clean up after meals, George realized his passion was to make the meals. “Then I started working with the big guys in the kitchen,” he said. They taught him how to use the broiler and roaster, prep ingredients, cook vegetables, mix sauces from scratch and dozens of other necessary skills. “I did every job in that hotel as a cook,” George said. “Everything was fresh – no prepackaged stuff.” He learned how to slice a needed cut of meat and plucked and cleaned countless chickens.

DON CAREY/THE TIMES LEADER

Fred George holds a postcard from his time working in the kitchen at the Hotel Sterling in WilkesBarre. George, 79, pickets every weekend with others who don’t want the hotel demolished.

“I had to go home with my hands all scratched up,” he recalled. The hotel’s owner at the time, construction magnate and former state Sen. Andrew J. Sordoni, wanted a menu that rivaled those of hotels in major cities, and he brought in international chefs who specialized in French and German cuisine to teach the staff new dishes, George said. George learned how to prepare – and pronounce – hundreds of dishes. A myriad of fish options routinely graced the menu – shad roe, sturgeon, cod and mackerel. There was Chateaubriand for two, roast leg of lamb with mint jelly and mock turtle soup. His eyes lit up when he described Welsh rarebit, a sauce of

melted cheddar cheese mixed with beer that was served bubbly hot over toast points. “I couldn’t wait to go to work because the chefs would teach us,” George said. He became head chef in 1967, overseeing a kitchen staff of 40. George had to develop a daily lunch and dinner menu. He dug up a copy of one of his luncheon menus from August 1967. Chopped chicken livers and marinated herring in sour cream were among the appetizer selections. “Tureens” of soup were available for 50 cents, including two served cold – beet borscht with sour cream and Vichyssoise. Broiled capon leg, braised short ribs of beef and a Denver omelet pancake style were some of the entrée choices.

The Powells obtained a $349,000 balloon note in October 2007 for the property and began defaulting on the loan in April 2009. According to The Times Leader’s archives, the Powells owned and rented out the townhouse in Wright Township.

Powell, 50, is facing charges he failed to report the alleged illegal activity of former judges Mark A. Ciavarella and Michael T. Conahan, who allegedly received approximately $2.8 million in a kickback scheme related to the construction of two juvenile detention centers and the placement of youths in the facilities. Powell was a former co-owner of the for-profit centers in Pittston Township and Butler County. He pleaded guilty last year and is awaiting sentencing in U.S. District Court. Powell could not be reached for comment Tuesday. Fellow W-Cat owner and former Luzerne County Prothonotary Jill Moran was not charged in the probe, but had agreed to cooperate with investigators. Moran is also Powell’s former law partner.

Still, the money problems pose a threat to the college’s education status. “Our financial challenges are significant enough that we understand they contributed to the decision by the LCME – the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, the accrediting body for the MDgranting programs in the United States – to put TCMC on probation” this year. The school still has preliminary accreditation, and the LCME has given the goahead to accept another class of incoming students next year, Nora said. But the probation does mean it will take longer to earn “provisional accreditation” – something Nora said the college had hoped to reach this year – followed by full accreditation.

rough patch that has stoked worries the economic recovery is slowing. More jobs and lower prices would give Americans more money to spend on other things and rejuvenate economic growth. Food prices at the wholesale level fell 1.4 percent, the Labor Department said. It was the largest drop since last June. About 40 percent of that decline resulted from steep declines in vegetable and fruit prices. The drop in food prices followed harsh winter freezes, which had driven up prices of tomatoes and other vegetables in February. Even if prices don’t fall further, economists say they probably won’t go much higher, at least. It may take as long as six months, but lower wholesale prices should work their way to the grocery store. “That’s a good thing for consumers, and it’s even better that it comes in parallel with lower energy prices,” said Gregory Daco, U.S. economist at IHS Global Insight. Overall, the producer price index, which measures price

Wilkes-Barre resident Fred George designed this luncheon menu when he was head chef at the Hotel Sterling in 1967.

The building’s nonprofit owner, CityVest, has asked the county to take over the project and determine whether the structure will be fully or partially saved or demolished. The county has a claim on the property because it loaned CityVest $6 million in community development funding to acquire and preserve the building. Commissioners have said CityVest should make the call to tear down the structure and find

DEMS PUSH TO RESTORE MEDICAL SCHOOL FUNDING

Financial issues The financial problems stem from “three broad reasons,” Nora said: the drop in expected state funding, the estimated $120 million cost of a new medical school under construction (TCMC currently uses space at Lackawanna College), and the sour economic climate that continues to

George said he’ll never forget Mother’s Day in 1967, when 1,600 diners were served. “The main dining room was jam-packed, so we started seating them in the lobby. That was full, so I said to put them in the mezzanine. Then that was full,” he said. He left the Sterling in the early 1970s when the hotel was sold and worked in the kitchen at The Inn at Pocono Manor in Mount Pocono for 18 years before retiring.

State Sen. John Blake, D-Archbald, is teaming with other Senate Democrats and members of the medical community to push for restored state funding to medical schools in the Pennsylvania budget. Blake issued a press release announcing a

10 a.m. news conference today in the Capitol Rotunda “to discuss the potentially disastrous impact of current budget proposals on Pennsylvania’s medical schools, bioscience investments and regional cancer centers.”

curb donations. The college, which opened in August 2009, is taking a three-pronged approach to weather the bad times and emerge on solid financial footing, Nora said. Along with the cuts, the college is looking for new sources of money, including seeking additional support from Blue Cross of Northeastern Pennsylvania. The insurance giant “provided a certain level of initial support” with startup costs and construction of the new school, Nora said, “and we are asking for additional support over the next five years as we get our finances in order.” The college is also grateful for efforts by some Harrisburg legislators trying to restore funding in the upcoming state budget, which must be finalized by July 1. The third part of the plan is to look for “new types of partnerships and affiliations to strengthen the school going forward,” Nora said, working with other

schools and institutions to keep costs down while keeping college offerings solid. Spokeswoman Anne Green also said the college is trying to extend its line of credit with a local bank.

changes before they reach the consumer, rose 0.2 percent in May. That’s much lower than April’s 0.8 percent gain and signals that inflation is in check. Gas prices at the wholesale level rose in May by the smallest amount in eight months. At the pump, they’re coming down. On Tuesday, the national average was $3.70 a gallon, according to AAA. Gas has fallen steadily since the national average almost hit $4 a gallon in early May. It’s still about a dollar more expensive than a year ago. For now, Americans remain cautious about spending. Another report Tuesday showed retail sales fell 0.2 percent in May. It was the first decline in 11 months and came mostly because Americans bought fewer cars. Auto sales fell 2.9 percent, the sharpest drop in 15 months. The decline was attributed to temporary factors, including fewer incentives offered by dealerships and a shortage of popular fuel-efficient cars because of disrupted shipments after the Japan earthquake. Excluding the drop in car sales, retail sales rose 0.3 percent. That gain seemed to please investors, who were expecting broad declines because of high

Three classes enrolled The college has three classes of 65 students each and will add a fourth class this fall, Nora said. The school has “several hundred clinical volunteer faculty.” The eight people not coming back next year are part of about 40 paid faculty. Of those, two were part-time faculty who spent most of their time teaching, but six were “predominantly researchers” or involved in administration. Research is important to a medical college, Nora said, because it helps students learn the “process and the milieu” of the medical profession, and because it can help advance the ever-changing field of

medicine. Research will continue at TCMC but will be more carefully focused. Students have been involved in research on topics “as varied as chewed tobacco to breast feeding to autism,” Nora said. Third-year students are set to begin applying such experience in clinical settings throughout the region, she added. “What this school means to the region and what it will mean is so important,” Nora said. “It’s not surprising that new organizations in these times have financial issues.” While the cuts come barely two months after the college’s first president, Dr. Robert M. D’Alessandri, announced he was stepping down, Nora stressed they are “absolutely not” a result of anything D’Alessandri did. State cuts and the economic downturn are the primary culprits, she said. Nora noted news in The Chronicle of Higher Education last week that The University of California at Riverside failed to earn preliminary accreditation for a planned medical college from the LCME precisely because the California legislature hasn’t promised to support the idea. “Finances are difficult all over,” Nora said. “The important thing is that we have a plan, we’re going to have this taken care of, and we’re going to be just fine.”

gas prices. The Dow Jones industrial average, which has fallen six weeks in a row, closed up 123 points, or 1 percent. Mark Vitner, an economist at Wells Fargo Securities, said the retail-sales report shows household budgets are still tight, forcing people to put off buying expensive items. Sales at electronics and furniture stores dropped in May. Some of the biggest sales gains were reported by thrift shops and other stores that sell used goods, Vitner said, and by online retailers, which many shoppers use to find the best deals.

the money to pay for demolition, though they may assist in obtaining a $1 million U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development demolition grant. George and other protesters believe the county should obtain the $1 million but use it to seal, or mothball, the structure as preservation options are explored. “The Hotel Sterling to me was just great. I’m just sick about it,” George said.

Lower food and gas prices “should provide some nearterm relief,” Vitner said, “but a sustainable pickup in spending will not likely occur until job growth picks up and the unemployment rate falls.” There were some encouraging signs that hiring could pick up in the second half of the year. The Business Roundtable, which represents CEOs for the 200 biggest U.S. companies, said 51 percent of chief executives plan to step up hiring in the second half of the year. Last quarter, 52 percent said they planned to hire more over the following six months, the

highest since the trade group began polling its members in 2002. The survey began in mid-May and ended June 3, the day the government released a report that showed a steep pullback in hiring in May. The unemployment rate rose to 9.1 percent in May from 9 percent in April. ManpowerGroup, one of the nation’s largest staffing companies, said the proportion of businesses that plan to hire in the next three months is higher than at any time since the end of 2008, during the recession. Melanie Holmes, vice president at ManpowerGroup, said the company’s employment outlook is still at only about half the level associated with a healthy economy. The Commerce Department said businesses added to their inventories for the 16th straight month in April, another sign that companies are confident people will spend more in the second half of the year. The pace at which businesses sold those goods was the slowest in 10 months, but economists said it wasn’t a concern because inventories are still historically small compared with sales. Companies are unlikely to get stuck with huge stockpiles of goods.

Penn State, Pitt resuming rivalry In-state foes have agreed to play home-and-home series in 2016-2017. The Associated Press

STATE COLLEGE — In-state rivals Pittsburgh and Penn State will face each other on the football field again for a home-and-home series in 2016 and 2017. Both schools said Tuesday they were excited about resuming play, even if only for two seasons. Pittsburgh will host the Nittany Lions at Heinz Field on Sept. 10, 2016. The next year, the Panthers will play Penn State in Beaver Stadium on Sept. 16, 2017. Tim Curley, Penn State’s director of ath-

letics, and Steve Pederson, Pitt’s director of athletics, made the announcement about the resumption. “We are very excited about renewing our rivalry with Pitt,” Curley said in a statement. “We have worked our schedules to play some of our neighboring rivalries like Syracuse, Rutgers and Temple and are glad to have identified dates that worked for our schedules to play Pitt.” College football fans are plentiful in Pennsylvania and both schools command loyal followings for their teams. Pittsburgh plays in the Big East, Penn State in the Big Ten. “The Penn State-Pitt game was one that football fans across the Commonwealth

Americans losing grip on majors

U.S. players will attempt to break record drought when Open begins Thursday at Congressional. By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

BETHESDA, Md. — What began as an anomaly has turned into a troubling trend for American golf. Graeme McDowell became the first European in 40 years to win the U.S. Open last summer at Pebble Beach. Perhaps more telling was that this was the first time in more than 100 years that no Americans finished among the top three in their national championship. And that was just the start. There were no Americans in the top three in the British Open a month later at St. An-

drews. And for the first time in Masters history, international players occupied the first three places at Augusta National. Is American golf on the ropes? “Are you asking that because I’m the highest-ranked American?” Steve Stricker said Tuesday. Stricker, a 44-year-old who didn’t even have a full PGA Tour card five years ago, won the Memorial two weeks ago and climbed to No. 4 in the world, making him the top-ranked American. He still lags well behind a pair of Englishmen, Luke Donald and Lee Westwood, and Martin Kaymer of Germany. But the world ranking tells only part of the story. Americans have never gone more than four majors without winning one of them, and the U.S. Open at Congressional might be their best chance to avoid a record

OPINION

Burress copying the mold

THE SUCCESS OF Michael Vick’s comeback was not foreseen on that day in 2009. It was hard to imagine past the camera trucks convened at the NovaCare Complex, and the extra complement of security guards, and the protesters chanting at the gate. Any number of descriptions were painted that day: misguided, insulting, gimmick, waste of time, long shot. No one saw it as a potential model. Fast-forward now, two summers. Another jail sentence is finished. The player this time is Plaxico Burress, the former Giants wide receiver. The media event is in New York City. The announcement includes a commitment to partner with organizations whose goals are to rid society of the very conduct for which the man was convicted. A member of the group assembled for media availability is an earnest, honest broker named Tony Dungy. Repeat the word: model. Michael Vick, it seems, has written the playbook -- and Burress and his people have swiped it whole. What once were uncharted waters -- who ever heard of a convicted felon returning to play professional sports? -- have found their cartographer. He plays quarterback for the Eagles. Cynics will see it as a publicrelations map and nothing more. True believers will see it as a well-conceived set of steps for a public man who has fallen terribly and who needs to find a path back to a public life. The cynics will never be true believers and the true believers will never be cynics -- and that isn’t what this is about. Instead, it is a simple acknowledgment of the fact that, whatever the ulterior motives -cynical or honest or some combination of the two -- Vick and his people devised a comeback strategy that worked so well that it is being duplicated here by Burress. It is being copied exactly, and two of the three elements are now in place.

RICH HOFMANN

The Dungy factor First, there is mentorship. That is the Dungy role. He performed it for Vick, and he will perform it -- along with Magic Johnson and also Vick, apparently -- with Burress. Dungy is the key, though. He visited Burress in jail, talked with him about what is ahead and, most important, publicly vouches for Burress’ sincerity. That is crucial as teams begin to sniff around. "It’s an honor. [Dungy is] a man of great integrity, of great faith," is how Burress was quoted yesterday by the Newark Star-Ledger. "I have a lot of respect for him, with everything he’s accomplished in life. For him to reach out to me in a time and a situation where a lot of people shied away, it meant a lot to me." And Dungy? "If anybody calls me, I would say I think he does have a different outlook on things," said the former coach of the Bucs and Colts. "This is not a guy that’s going to take anything for granted. He does have a passion about getting back and playing. If I were in that position, I would certainly investigate it and, if I had a need, I would definitely look at him." Dungy’s reputation is impeccable. What he provides here is

NOTE: There will be no over/under run total (which would be the overnight total) for all the Chicago Cubs home games due to the constantly changing weather reports at Wrigley Field.

Taking a look at the driver standings through June11, Matt Kakaley is still leading the way with 88 wins. Kakaley, 23, is having a career year and is the only driver that has surpassed $1,000,000 in purses. Hot on his heels is the current driving champ George Napolitano Jr., with 74 victories. George had a late start to the season, after serving a suspension, and is winning at a superb 26.5 percent clip. A distant third in the standings is the fading Tyler Buter, with a win tally of 57. On the trainer side of the standings, Lou Pena is the man on top. The Pena stable has been on a tear wherever he lands, racking up wins in both New York and Pennsylvania at an eye-popping rate. Lou has 43 training triumphs to his credit. Carmine Fusco is the runner-up to Pena, with a solid 41 tallies. Fusco remains a steady trainer at the Downs year after year. Rounding out the top three trainers is Kimberly Asher, with 30 wins. If you’re indecisive about who to play in a race, bet on any of these individuals and you stand a strong chance at cashing a ticket. BEST BET: WALDEN (4TH) VALUE PLAY: NF QUOTABLE (6TH)

Only members of both teams were able to make it to the stadium. Umpires, fans and stadium personnel were unable to make it through the water.

STANLEY Continued from Page 1B

drastically shortened summers, but nobody can bear the thought of coming this far without drinking from the Stanley Cup. “Everything in the past is in the past,” Vancouver center Ryan Kesler said. “If we win tomorrow, we become legends.” Although they’ve lost three of their last four to the surging Bruins, the Canucks are ready to reap their reward for grinding out the NHL’s best regularseason record. They get to play Game 7 at home — and homeice advantage means more than anybody expected in a series that’s otherwise been utterly unpredictable. The home team has won every game to date, but Boston has done it better than the favored Canucks. While the Bruins blew out Vancouver by a combined 17-3, the Canucks eked out three one-goal victories. The Canucks still can win their first NHL title after flopping in their first attempt Monday in Boston, while the Bruins are closing strong in their attempt to end a 39-year Stanley Cup drought. “When we’re in the garage or driveway playing as a kid and you’re fantasizing ... you’re saying to yourself, ’Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals,”’ said Thomas, the likely Conn Smythe Trophy winner after allowing just eight Vancouver goals in six games. “You’re not saying Game 6, you know? So this is really what every kid dreams about.” Thomas and the Bruins will attempt to become the first team in NHL history to win a Game 7 three times in the same postseason after beating Montreal and Tampa Bay earlier. The Original Six franchise has never played a Game 7 in the finals, not even while losing its last five trips to the championship round since 1972. Vancouver was stretched to the limit by defending champion Chicago in the first round. The Canucks were here in 1994, when Mark Messier’s New York Rangers beat them 3-2 in Game 7 — and Vancouver hadn’t been back to the finals since. Both teams have played under playoff stress this spring, but no pressure in hockey can match the intensity of a close third period in Game 7 of the finals, when one superb play or a single mistake can change a player’s reputation forever. Anybody who fears that scenario didn’t show it after Tuesday’s workouts at Rogers Arena.

Everybody talks about it.” Based on recent times, history might not be on the side of the Stars & Stripes outside the nation’s capital. Over the last 10 years, the U.S. Open is the one major where Americans have had the least amount of success. They have won only four times since 2001, with Tiger Woods capturing two of them.

Yankees extend win streak Warren pitches strong game despite giving up leadoff homer against Syracuse. By LINDSEY KRAMER For The Times Leader

SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre pitcher Adam Warren took an early mulligan Tuesday night. It was the only do-over he needed. After allowing a leadoff homer to Syracuse’s Gregor Blanco on his second pitch of the game, Warren tossed seven shutout innings to propel the Yankees to a 3-1 win over the Chiefs at Alliance Bank Stadium. Warren (5-2) gave up three hits, struck out one and walked four as Scranton/Wilkes-Barre took the final three games of a four-game series in Syracuse. "You can’t let that affect you,’’ Warren said of missing on a high changeup to Blanco. "It’s one of those things, ‘Yeah, that’s the only one they’ll get.’ You throw that anger away. If you have that mentality, it makes it easier to focus.’’ The Yankees got all their runs in the third. With Syracuse up1-0, Doug Bernier ignited the rally by leading off with a double against Chiefs starter Ross Detwiler (5-6). Bernier was playing shortstop because Ramiro Pena was recalled to New York on Tuesday. Austin Krum, who was 3-for-4 on the night, followed with a double to move Bernier to third, and Kevin Russo doubled to score both and send Scranton/WilkesBarre up 2-1. The hit continued

He’s showing us that now,’’ said Yankees manager Dave Miley. "Anyone is going to get in a funk through the year. That’s how it goes,’’ Russo said. "I knew I wasn’t going to stay that bad forever. It’s a long season. You just have to keep grinding. The main thing is to keep getting your work in.’’ Greg Golson, even hotter this month than Russo, followed with a single to bring home Russo with a two-run cushion. Golson is 14-40 since coming off the disabled list June 4 following a hamstring injury. Besides Blanco’s homer, Warren allowed a leadoff single to Chris McConnell in the third. One out later, Warren cleaned up that mess by picking off McConnell from first. The Chiefs’ Jeff Frazier opened the fifth with a single, and two outs later McConnell walked. Warren got his revenge on Blanco, however, by catching him looking. Warren pitched a rare, nine-inning complete game in his last start June 9 vs. Charlotte, but he

had trouble locating his fastball Tuesday and his four walks elevated his pitch count to 98. He said he wasn’t surprised to come out after seven. "I’ve been saying, it’s probably the best, worst game ever. The defense made plays when it needed to,’’ he said. "I knew I wasn’t going to go nine innings again, just to take care of my arm. I wasn’t as efficient as I was in the last start.’’ Miley took the opportunity to get his first look at new pitcher Greg Smith. Smith, signed as a free agent out of the independent American Association on Monday and is normally a starter. But with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre getting an off-day today, Miley wanted to start working him in when he could. The lefty responded with a strong12/3 innings, giving up no hits, walking one and fanning two. "He keeps the ball down on his own, which is a plus,’’ Miley said. "We like what we saw.’’

Pittsburgh signs Craig to contract Wilkes-Barre/Scranton captain W B S S I G N S S T R E E T agrees to two-year extension The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins signed forward Ben Street to with organization. a one-year American Hockey By TOM VENESKY tvenesky@timesleader.com

Ryan Craig is undergoing some extensive training this offseason. Craig, who was the captain of last season’s Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguin team, spends each morning training for the upcoming season. After that, Craig heads back home and faces what can be a more strenuous workout routine – chasing two kids around the house for the rest of the day. “Sometimes that’s like even more training,” Craig said from his summer home in Brandon, Manitoba. Not that Craig minds. After all, he has a lot to get ready for this summer after re-signing with Pittsburgh on Monday. Craig’s new deal is a two-way contract worth $525,000 at the NHL level and it brings him back to the organization for a second year. Prior to joining the Pittsburgh organization last summer, Craig, 29, spent five seasons with the Tampa Bay organization. An unrestricted free agent at the end of the 2010-2011 season, Craig could’ve tested the waters to see what teams would offer for a versatile, veteran center but he chose to return to Pittsburgh. Loyalty and the chance for NHL time were the reasons behind Craig’s decision. “The grass isn’t always greener on the other side,” he said about testing the free agent market. “There was loyalty on both sides to make this work. Pittsburgh is a good organization with good people, and that’s something my family and I are comfortable being a part of.” In 71 games with Wilkes-

League contract on Tuesday. Street, 24, split the 2010-11 season between Wilkes-Barre/Scranton and Wheeling (ECHL). In 36 regular-season games with the Penguins, Street recorded 23 points (12 goals, 11 assists) and a plus-9 rating, and added one assist in eight Calder Cup Playoff contests. Despite appearing in just 38 games with the Nailers, Street led the team with a plus-21 rating and finished second in scoring (51 points), tied for the lead in goals (24) and tied for second in assists (27). His efforts earned him the ECHL’s Rookie of the Year award.

Barre/Scranton last season, Craig registered 48 points (19 goals, 29 assists) to rank second on the team. He also suited up for six games with Pittsburgh, posting 22 penalty minutes. The chance for more NHL time with Pittsburgh was a big factor behind Craig’s decision to forego free agency and re-sign with the organization. “When you sign an extension without testing the free agent waters, it’s a risk,” he said. “But this is a solid organization that treats players with respect and makes decisions based on what is earned. That’s what I was looking for.” Now that the contract business is out of the way and Craig has the rest of the summer to train at the gym and at home, he has his sights set on making the NHL club out of training camp in September and a championship the following spring. “Pittsburgh and Wilkes-Barre have some unfinished business with how things ended last season,” Craig said. “They’re ready to compete for a championship at both levels, and organizations like that are hard to find.”

couldn’t win a big one. Padraig Harrington preached patience, saying golf runs in cycles and Europe would get its due. Ernie Els couldn’t agree more. “Everything happens in cycles, and I can see it happening again now,” he said. “I remember back in the early ’90s, Europe was dominating like they are dominating now in the world rankings. They’ve definitely got the upper hand at the moment, and it will probably change again in the future.” The trick is figuring who the future is for American golf. Right behind Stricker in the world ranking is Phil Mickelson, the last American to win a major when he beat Westwood at the Masters last year. Mickelson turns 41 on Thursday, although he still thinks he has several years and more majors ahead of him. Even so, Mickelson has been

spending a lot of time lately trying to groom younger players, mostly for Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup matches, but also to get them sharp for majors. He played Tuesday with Dustin Johnson, regarded by many as the most talented of the Americans under 30. Joining them were Jeff Overton and Hunter Mahan, whose three wins include a World Golf Championship at Firestone last year. “I’m actually very encouraged with where our American golfers are, especially the young players,” Mickelson said. “We have a plethora of great players coming up. And I think at the forefront is a guy like Dustin Johnson.” Johnson very easily could have won two majors last year, and this wouldn’t even be a discussion. He took a three-shot lead into the final round at Pebble Beach until a shot in the

bushes and a shot onto the beach left him with an 82. Then came the PGA Championship, where he was not aware he was in a bunker and grounded his club, a two-shot penalty that knocked him out of a playoff. Kaymer wound up beating Bubba Watson in the playoff. Johnson is aware of the American drought, but only because he keeps getting asked about it. “It’s not like we’re not trying or not playing well,” he said. “I think the American guys are playing really good. A lot of things have to go right to win a major. Obviously, the guys that have won the last four majors have played really good golf.” Mahan knew the Americans had not won a major since Mickelson at the Masters. He was surprised to hear that only two Americans, Watson and Zach Johnson, have been in the top three at the last four majors.

"We’re eager to work with Plaxico as he speaks to audiences young and old, inside and outside of sports, to help prevent gun violence," said Paul Helmke, president of the Brady Center. "He has learned directly, and painfully, about the risks of gun ownership, and understands that he has an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children, athletes, and the entire sports community." Everybody involved understands the bargain. Burress benefits from the credibility of these organizations. The organiza-

tions benefit from Burress’ ability to draw publicity to their events. Cynics will see a cynical bargain. Optimists will see the transformation of a bad situation into a win-win. The tension between those opposing viewpoints will remain, and it isn’t going to be solved here. Mentorship. Partnership. The third element is the new team. The particular choice was more important for Vick than it will be for Burress. Vick needed a place with proven coaching and a chance to retool his skill set at

the game’s most difficult position. Starting right away would have been the worst thing for him. Burress, by contrast, is older and only needs to prove that he can still run and catch. He doesn’t need a place to work his way back. He needs a stable place with a strong head coach, but he mostly just needs to play. That chance will come, too, it seems. It is all in the playbook.

the beginning (of the season),” said Mike Healey, one of those future Division I players. “Just had to put it behind us, put in work on the field and not think about it.” Healey, who has a scholarship to pitch at UConn, said that after he tossed a three-hitter last week to beat Mechanicsburg in the state quarterfinals. On Monday, Mike Papi (Virginia) and Chase Knott combined on a nohitter in the semis to get past Blue Mountain. Tunkhannock is playing its best baseball of the season headed into the championship game, and is doing it by staying levelheaded. The Tigers got an early dose of humility when they opened the Wyoming Valley Conference season with a 5-3 loss on a long trip down to Berwick – coincidentally the only other WVC team to win a state title. From there, the Tigers rattled off 11 straight league wins to clinch the Division I West title for a second straight year. Tigers coach Gary Custer has lauded his squad’s five seniors – Kyle Custer, Ryan Goodwin, Healey, Papi and Ty Saylor – for setting the tone for the team.

Healey said the upperclassmen have done their best to keep everyone from looking too far ahead. “We had a couple meetings this year where we told everyone just that we gotta stay within ourselves,” Healey said. “That was our main problem this year.” Tunkhannock’s win streak was snapped in the next-to-last game of the regular season when Dallas rallied in the bottom of the seventh for a 6-5 win. Then, in the first round of the district tournament, the Tigers found themselves trailing against 3-12 Crestwood headed into the bottom of the sixth before scoring four runs to win 6-3. “Definitely a scare,” Healey said. “That helped refocus us big time. We went on a run toward the end of the year before Dallas woke us up a little bit. But then Crestwood was a real wake-up because it was the first round of the playoffs. We realized our season was almost over.” They kept rolling along, however, and have since won six straight games to reach the state finals for the first time in team history. “I’m proud as hell of all of these kids. I really am,” Gary Custer said. “Good chemistry, good team. Everybody’s a good teammate for one another. It’s a good group.”

Trustees expected to issue statement next week about ongoing football scandal.. The Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State’s board of trustees is ready to break its silence about the university’s ongoing football scandal, a trustee said in brief comments Tuesday while promising a fuller statement next week. Members of the 18-member board of trustees, a group including some of the state’s most power“We’re at ful individuals and the begin- charged with ning of the overseeing Ohio State, beginning has consistently reof what fused to comwe’re do- ment on the ing.” NCAA investigation that Robert Schottenstein led to coach Ohio State Jim Tressel’s trustee forced resignation on May 30. Speaking after a committee meeting, trustee Robert Schottenstein said the board should have something more concrete to say at next week’s meeting of the full board in Columbus. Schottenstein said the board would comment if it could, but noted the process is still in the early stages. “We’re at the beginning of the beginning of what we’re doing,” said Schotteinstein, chairman of the board’s audit committee and chief executive officer and president of M/I Homes. “If we could we would. It’s not my style to be not forthcoming.” He said he could not provide a preview of what the board — either himself, board chairman Les Wexner or Ohio State President Gordon Gee — might say when the board meets on campus June 23-24. “We’re in this for the long haul and we’ll get it worked out,” Schotteinstein said. “I promise.” Other trustees at Tuesday’s audit committee meeting declined to say anything, including Jack Fisher, executive vice president of the Ohio Farm Bureau, and Algenon Marbley, a federal judge in Columbus. “I understand,” Marbley said, when it was pointed out that people were interested in hearing the board’s perspective. Wexner, the billionaire chairman and founder of Limited Brands and a major donor to the university, has repeatedly declined to comment.

He has that capability, if he puts the pieces of his game together,” U.S. Davis Cup captain Jim Courier said. “But that one set him back in a lot of ways, because I think it also distracted him for a little while afterwards.” While Mahut is willing as can be to discuss The Match That Would Not End — after agreeing to a 10-minute interview with The Associated Press during the French Open, he kept talking for several more minutes — Isner is less apt to bring it up. The two players barely knew each other before their recordsetting encounter made them friends for life. Now, even though they talk or exchange text messages two or three times a week, there’s one topic Isner and Mahut haven’t discussed. Ever. “The match has not come up,” Isner said. “We’ve talked about everything but the match.” Said Mahut: “I think one day we’ll do it. ... I’d like to know what he felt, whether he was afraid. I think that a time will come when I’ll need to talk to him about the match.” Isner’s coach, Craig Boynton, said that even they haven’t spent much time talking about that topic. It only came up once, and briefly at that, over breakfast at the U.S. Open in September. “I wasn’t going to really ever bring it up,” Boynton said. “It kind of happened naturally. And we talked about it for four or five minutes. And at the end of it, we looked at each other, like, ’Wow. That’s the first time we ever really talked about it.’ I remember going, ’Wow. That was kind of cool.”’

NEW YORK — Don’t break out the tailgate gear just yet. An end to the NFL lockout might not be imminent. It does appears much closer than at any point in the last three months, though. Recent progress in labor talks between the league and players has sparked a new sense of optimism, and team owners have been told to be ready to extend their one-day meetings in Chicago next week. The two sides were making progress in labor negotiations being held Tuesday at an undisclosed location in Maryland. Those talks will go through at least today and quite possibly to the end of the week. A person with knowledge of the talks told The Associated Press that the owners and players are “headed in the right direction” and that lawyers “are back in the room” after being excluded from sessions the past two weeks. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because details of the meeting are not being made public. Two other people familiar with the talks say a framework for a new collective bargaining agreement could be in place before the owners gather next Tuesday. Previous “secret” meetings have taken place in Chicago and New York. Such sessions have been critical in past NFL nego-

details of a potential agreement. Still, it would be premature to predict that lockout is about to end, the people familiar with the talks told the AP. Yet the atmosphere of negotiations has been more positive than it was previously, creating “a sense of movement,” they said. That movement toward an agreement might be in both sides’ best interest after a federal appeals court judge warned the owners and players they might not like the upcoming decisions in legal actions sparked by the lockout. Indeed, the court could delay any rulings if a new CBA appears to be near. On hand at the meetings were NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell; NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith; several owners, including the Giants’ John Mara and the Cowboys’ Jerry Jones; and a large group of players that includes NFLPA President Kevin Mawae, Jeff Saturday, Mike Vrabel, Tony Richardson and Domonique Foxworth. While no deadlines have been set for the opening of training camps, the 32 teams soon will need to decide whether to delay them, particularly those clubs that stage a portion of camp out of town. The lockout, which began March 12, also has cost the league and some teams advertising and sponsorship money, and some players have not collected workout bonuses. At least seven teams have instituted paycuts or furloughs of employees who are not players.

Armstrong, Hamilton tape is being sought by FBI Lance ran into his drug accuser at a Colorado restaurant last weekend. The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The FBI has contacted a Colorado restaurant to get surveillance tapes of a conversation between seventime Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong and former teammate Tyler Hamilton over the weekend. Armstrong and Hamilton ran into each other at a restaurant in Aspen on Saturday night, a few weeks after Hamilton went on “60 Minutes” to accuse Armstrong of dopingandencouraginghisteammates to use performance-enhancing drugs as well. Hamilton attorney Chris Manderson said his client was rattled by some of Armstrong’s comments. “It was aggressive and intimidating and we thought it should be reported to federal investigators,” Manderson told The Associated Press. Armstrong and one of his lawyers said the conversation was uneventful. A co-owner of the restaurant,

Hamilton

which is called Cache Cache, said Tuesday that the FBI was coming to take the restaurant’s surveillance tapes. It’s unclear whether the conversation was captured on video. Federal officials are now in their second year of investigating doping in cycling. Armstrong is a target of their work and a Los Angeles-based grand jury is hearing evidence that could lead to charges of fraud, conspiracy and drug trafficking against the cyclist and others on his Tour-winning teams. Thom Mrozek, a spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office, declined comment. Manderson said it was well known that Hamilton would be in Aspen; he believes Armstrong sought his fellow cyclist out for a confrontation. “I don’t think it was a coincidence,” he said.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The wait is over for Cale Yarborough and Darrell Waltrip. The championship-winning drivers are headed to the NASCAR Hall of Fame. Yarborough and Waltrip got in on their third try, headlining the third five-member class announced Tuesday. They’re joined by eight-time series champion crew chief Dale Inman, nine-time

Modified champion Richie Evans and pioneering driver and owner Glen Wood. “It’s probably the best class of the three,” said NASCAR chairman Bill France, who was on the receiving end of a playful kiss on his cheek from a tearful Waltrip. “You’ve got two of the greatest drivers. You’ve got the greatest crew chief. You have a legendary car owner, and then you have Richie Evans, who dominated in Modified racing. It demonstrates the Hall of Fame is more than just the Sprint Cup series. “It’s hard to argue this class in any way, in my view.” Yarborough, who led with 85 percent of the vote by the 55-per-

son panel, won 83 races and three consecutive titles (1976-78). Only Jimmie Johnson’s current streak of five titles is longer. Yarborough’s 83 victories rank sixth. He won four Daytona 500s and later served as car owner until he left the sport in 1999. Yarborough, who didn’t attend the announcement, said by phone he watched the telecast with his wife in the shop of his farm in Sardis, S.C. “I’m glad. I’m glad that’s over with,” Yarborough said. “Everybody has been asking me, ’Do you think it’s this time? Do you think you’ll go in this time?’ “I feel honored. I’m in a lot of different motorsports halls of

fame, but to be in the NASCAR Hall of Fame with the guys who are already in and the ones who will come later means a lot to me. It’s a great group to be a part of.” Waltrip, who received 82 percent of the vote, won 84 races, tied for third all time, and collected series championships in 1981, ’82 and ’85. While Yarborough was absent, you couldn’t miss Waltrip in the front row. Waltrip’s eyes welled up with tears as his name was announced. He then ran to the stage and kissed France, something he promised to do in radio interview earlier in the day. “It shows you the emotion,” France said.

Mavericks savor first NBA championship

MVP Nowitzki will return next season, but several players are free agents. By JAIME ARON AP Sports Writer

DALLAS — Dirk Nowitzki was talking about the NBA championship capping his career wish list and how much it meant after all the heartbreaks along the way. He wondered aloud about trying to find something else that could push him so hard. Then he stopped, laughed and said: “I’m not going to retire or anything if that’s what you think.” The Mavericks are back in Dallas after wrapping up the franchise’s first title. While the Mavericks know they’ll have the finals MVP back next season, it remains to be seen who will be part of Nowitzki’s supporting cast. Starting center Tyson Chandler, valuable guard J.J. Barea, injured scorer Caron Butler, DeShawn Stevenson, Brian Cardinal and Peja Stojakovic are all free agents. The NBA’s uncertain labor status complicates things. So, for now, the Mavs are focused on savoring the first title in franchise history. Jason Terry delighted in wearing a new white robe with the finals logo on one side of the chest, gold leafs in front of the NBA logo on the other; it was a

gift from coach Rick Carlisle, who two years ago took away his favorite robe during a losing streak. Barea already has plans to take the championship trophy to Puerto Rico. Nowitzki hadn’t asked yet to take it to Germany, but upon hearing about Barea’s plan said he liked the idea. The big celebration will come Thursday, with a parade through downtown. Team owner Mark Cuban has offered to pick up the tab, so it should be a doozy of a party, especially after the way he celebrated Sunday night in Miami. Cuban also has thrown out the idea of doing something other than championship rings. Carlisle said he’d be OK with Cuban giving everyone a piece of jewelry in addition to a ring, but when “you win an NBA championship, you’ve got to have a ring.” “I don’t know what he’s thinking,” Carlisle said, laughing. Nowitzki spoke for the locker room when he said, “We’ve got to talk to him about that. I don’t think the last word has been spoken yet. We know he always wants to do something different, something bigger. But the ring is just so classic. ... I mean, I’m a man. I don’t know how I’d feel about a bracelet. I’d rather go with a ring.”

LeBron clarifies latest remarks Heat star says that he doesn’t consider himself as being superior to anyone. TIM REYNOLDS AP Sports Writer

MIAMI— Everyone wanted the circus to end. That is, until the circus actually ended. Such is life for the Miami Heat now, heading into the offseason. A season of intense scrutiny, criticism, attention and intrigue ended without a championship, and while getting out of the spotlight for a while this summer may be of some consolation to LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, nothing will completely soothe the fact that Year One of the Big Three ended with a loss in the NBA finals. “There was really no way to prepare for a season like this,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said Tuesday, after Miami gathered for its exit meetings. Even at the end, James found his some of his words overly dissected and, he said, misinterpreted. His offseason began with a clarification of something said after Sunday’s night’s season-ending loss to the new champion Dallas Mavericks, when part of his

answer to a question about people being happy to see the Heat lose included the phrase “they have to wake up tomorrow and have the same life that they had before they woke up today. They have the same personal problems.” On Tuesday, James tried to clean up the mess he inadvertently created. “Basically, I was saying, at the end of the day, this season is over and with all the hatred not only myself, everyone else has to move on with their lives as well,” James said. “They have to move on with their lives and their dayto-day, good or bad, and I do, too. At the end of the day, I’ve got to move on with my life. So it wasn’t saying that I’m superior or better than anyone else, any man or woman on this planet. I’m not.” James’ fourth-quarter offensive struggles in the finals are still a talking point, even with the series now over and Dallas celebrating its crown. There were some reports Tuesday that he had skipped the team meetings for a vacation in the Bahamas. Privately, some team members told him at times during the season to stop paying attention to news reports about the team entirely. “I always feel like LeBron does a great job of dealing with

things,” Wade said. “No one, no athlete gets scrutinized more than he does, for good or bad things. And I always commend him for the way he handles it. A lot of people can say a lot of things about him, but if you’re not in his shoes, if you don’t go through the things that he goes through than you don’t understand, you don’t know how you would react to things and respond.” James offered some respect to the new champs later Tuesday. He posted a message on LeBronJames.com where he congratulated the Mavericks, especially Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Kidd and Jason Terry. He also lauded the Miami fans, teammates, coaches, team president Pat Riley and owner Micky Arison. James closed the message with this: “A lot to learn from this year, a lot to build on, and a lot of work to do this summer.” That was largely the theme of Tuesday for the Heat. “If you get to the finals,” Wade said, “you’re a pretty good team.” Udonis Haslem revealed that he’s not 100 percent recovered from surgery to repair a ruptured foot ligament in November. Mike Miller will soon have surgery to repair his left thumb. In time, Miami will start making roster

decisions. The Heat have the first pick in the second round of next week’s draft, and will hold another workout for prospects on Wednesday. Spoelstra said he’s immersing himself in that work, not the lament of losing the title shot. “We weren’t able to get it done,” Spoelstra said. “That’s the disappointment that we’ll have to live with this summer. As disappointing as it is, the championship was won and now today starts the next day for the new challenge of next year’s championship. Even for myself, it’s back to work. There will be some time where we’ll be able to decompress. The time is not now.” James and Wade are both planning trips to China this summer, along with some charitable events and camps. The uncertainty over the league’s labor deal — the collective bargaining agreement expires in about two weeks, and a lockout could start as early as July 1 — could make certain aspects of the summer more difficult than usual. Bosh will have some stressful moments as well: He’s got a wedding planned for next month. No one was thrilled to see it end, but Tuesday, they all said they enjoyed the ride.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

Hughes looks solid in camp outing The Associated Press

ASSOCIATED PRESS

New York Yankees’ Derek Jeter walks off the field after flying out to right field in the fifth inning of a baseball game against the Cleveland on Monday. Jeter has been placed on the DL.

Yanks place Jeter on DL Strained right calf injury sidelines shortstop for the first time since 2003.

HOWIE RUMBERG AP Sports Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — Derek Jeter went on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday because of a strained right calf, an untimely setback for the New York Yankees star as he pursues 3,000 career hits. The Yankees put the All-Star shortstop on the DL for the first time since 2003, making the move prior to their game against Texas. Jeter limped off the field Monday night, four innings after he got his 2,994th hit. “I’m still pleading my case,” Jeter said, to no avail, about an hour before the Yankees made the announcement. Jeter and his teammates hoped he would be able to get the

historic hit at Yankee Stadium. New York has three games left against Texas on this homestand, then goes on a six-game road trip to Wrigley Field in Chicago, and Cincinnati. He still might get his chance at home, too. Jeter will be eligible to come off the DL during the middle of a three-game series at home against Milwaukee. The Yankees then start a six-game visit, taking on the crosstown Mets and Cleveland, before returning to the Bronx. Infielder Ramiro Pena was called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He has played well for the Yankees in stints over the past couple of years. Backup shortstop Eduardo Nunez took over after Jeter left the 1-0 loss to Cleveland. Jeter is known for trying to play through injuries, but hobbled away in the fifth inning and immediately left the game. An

MRI exam revealed a Grade I sprain, the mildest kind. “That’s what we are really talking about, that it will take at least a week,” manager Joe Girardi said before the game. Jeter said his calf had been sore for a couple of days. He said there was discomfort when he ran off the field in the top of the fifth — it felt as if he’d been hit by a pitch, he said — and more trouble when he jogged down the line after a flyout in the bottom half, ending his night. “I guess the timing wasn’t very good,” Jeter said. “It’s a little bit frustrating. But even if I wasn’t at this point, I’d still be frustrated. I don’t like not to play. Whether it’s going for 3,000 hits or 100 hits, I’d rather be out there playing.” Nearing his 37th birthday, Jeter is trying to become the 28th player in major league history to reach 3,000 hits, and the first to do it while with the Yankees.

TAMPA, Fla.— New York Yankees starter Phil Hughes took another step forward in his rehabilitation program for a shoulder injury, throwing 50 pitches Tuesday against minor leaguers in a camp game. Hughes has been out since April 15 because of inflammation in his right shoulder. He threw 36 strikes in an outing at the Yankees’ spring training complex. Hughes pitched three scoreless innings, including a five-out second. He struck out six, walked one and allowed two hits. His fastball reached 93 mph and averaged around 91. The right-hander said the current plan is for him to throw 65 pitches Sunday for Class-A Staten Island. “I thought it was encouraging today,” Hughes said. “I’m happy about that. I was throwing strikes. The other thing, and the biggest thing, is velocity and making sure that I feel good. So, I was satisfied with those three major concerns that I have.” An All-Star last year when he went 18-8, Hughes was 0-1 with a 13.94 ERA in three starts this year. He struggled to reach 90 mph with his fastball, though the team initially chalked it up to the cold weather and his penchant for slow starts. Washington Nationals WASHINGTON — The Washington Nationals reinstated All-Star third baseman Ryan Zimmerman from the disabled list Tuesday after he missed 58 games because of an injured abdominal muscle. Zimmerman was recalled from his rehabilitation assignment in the minors and was in the starting lineup against St. Louis. The Nationals optioned righthanded pitcher Craig Stammen to Triple-A Syracuse. Zimmerman hit .357 with one home run and four RBIs in eight games before being sidelined.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Calipari’s win total rejected by NCAA Kentucky’s claim of 500 includes some that were vacated at other schools. By JERRY TIPTON McClatchy Newspapers

LEXINGTON, Ky. — Earlier this month, the chairman of the NCAA’s Committee on Infractions sent University of Kentucky President Lee T. Todd Jr. a letter asking the school to publicly acknowledge it was wrong to recognize John Calipari’s 500th coaching victory this past season. Chairman Dennis E. Thomas, the commissioner of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, also told Todd that the wording of Kentucky’s statement “must be approved by the office of the Committee on Infractions prior to its release.” Thomas asked Kentucky to respond to the letter no later than next Friday. Spokesman Jay Blanton said Saturday that Kentucky did not have a comment. The letter marked the latest twist in a debate between Kentucky and the NCAA about whether Calipari achieved his 500th coaching victory when Kentucky beat Florida in Rupp Arena on Feb. 26. When the game ended, Kentucky presented Calipari with a game ball to recognize the supposed milestone. But questions immediately arose about whether the vacated victories at the universities of Massachusetts and Memphis earlier in Calipari’s career should be subtracted from his total. According to NCAA official statistics, the answer is

yes. Calipari’s victory total reached 458 that day and he finished the season with 467. That reflects the four NCAA Tournament victories his UMass team vacated in 1996 because star Marcus Camby received improper benefits from an agent and the 38 victories his Memphis team vacated in the 2007-08 season because star Derrick Rose was ineligible. A testing service invalidated his qualifying entrance exam score. More than once in his fivepage letter, Thomas wrote of how UK’s handling of Calipari’s victory total was “troubling,” “extremely troubling” and “very troubling” to the Committee on Infractions. If Kentucky did not agree, Thomas said school officials would be asked to make an in-person appearance before the committee. An early February email sent to the NCAA sparked the debate about Calipari’s victory total. The email — sent by what UK senior associate athletics director Sandy Bell termed “a fan of a rival program” — said Kentucky was mistakenly counting the vacated victories on its Web site and media guide. The NCAA told Bell of the complaint on Feb. 4. In her same-day response to the NCAA, Bell said she alerted DeWayne Peevy, UK’s associate athletics director for media relations. Bell later told the NCAA that Peevy asked the NCAA on March 2 if UK needed to subtract the 42 victories from Calipari’s total or merely note them.

After a chilly start today we have turned up the thermostat for this afternoon, back up to where it should be for this time of year, which is close to 80 degrees here in town. With warmer, stabilizing temperatures moving in aloft today, skies should remain clear into the afternoon with only scattered clouds. Indeed, the sun's rays are very intense these days as we approach the summer solstice, which is next Tuesday. But to help keep your cool, the humidity will remain low today with a dry northerly wind. A front will approach tomorrow spreading cloudiness our way with an increasing chance for showers heading into tomorrow night and Friday.

CHEF’S CORNER RUTH CORCORAN CORK RESTAURANT

Berries, chocolate combine in perfect pie THIS GREAT chilled summer pie combines delicious chocolate and fresh strawberries for a luscious dessert. It was my favorite treat at family picnics, graduation parties and other summer events when I was growing up. My Aunt Rose grew strawberries in her garden, and we all loved picking wild strawberries in the woods around our house, so when they ripened we enjoyed this wonderful pie. With strawberries so plentiful this time of year, our customers at Cork also will get to enjoy this great dessert. •••

No baking required to make this impressive, delicious and totally fitfor-summer cake. OK, so maybe “fit” isn’t how you’ll feel after eating a hefty slice of this ice cream cake, but you will feel refreshed. The cake is versatile — use any two ice cream flavors you like —

Ingredients: 9-inch baked pie crust (storebought or from scratch) 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips 1/4 cup milk 1/2 cup sugar dash of salt 3 eggs, separated 1 cup sour cream 1 teaspoon coffee or chocolate liqueur (optional) 1 pint fresh strawberries, sliced sugar Combine chocolate chips, milk, sugar and salt on top of double boiler. Cook over hot, not boiling, water, until mixture is blended and smooth. Cool until chocolate mixture reaches room temperature and begins to thicken. (This step is very important. You don’t want to add the egg yolks while the chocolate mixture is still hot.) After the chocolate mixture reaches room temperature, add the egg yolks, one at a time, beating after each addition. Stir in one-half cup of sour cream and the liqueur. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form and fold them gently into the chocolate mixture. Pour into cooled pie shell and chill for six hours or overnight to set. Just before serving, sweeten remaining sour cream and spread evenly on top of pie. Top with strawberries and dust with sugar if desired. I usually put the pie in the freezer for 15 minutes prior to serving for ease of slicing.

And, Peterlin pointed out, many refer to one area of the creamery’s cases as the “kids section.” It consists of flavors such as Cotton Candy, Bubblegum and Purple Cow, a grape flavor. “Kids gravitate to them because of the color, and adults are just blown away by the taste,” Peterlin said. “They’re so rich in flavor it’s like you’re chewing on a piece of gum or at the circus, eating cotton candy.” The creamery also offers several of what it calls “mash-ups,” or extra toppings that

Red-velvet cupcakes with white-chocolate icing are a common, and treasured, sight these days, but the Back Mountain Creamery, on Carverton Road in Trucksville, has turned the favored dessert into a tastebud tingler that also helps beat the heat.

This is just one of many out-of-the-ordinary ice-cream combinations the creamery serves up. The flavor joins a lineup that al- See LOCAL, Page 2C

ICE CREAM CAKE Start to finish: 3 hours (30 minutes active) Servings: 16 Two 1 1/2-quart containers of ice cream (two complementary flavors) 12 chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed 1 cup jarred hot fudge sauce Half of an 8-ounce tub frozen whipped topping, thawed 1/4 cup purchased caramel sauce 1/2 cup chopped toasted almonds, divided Maraschino cherries, to serve Wrap the outside of a 9-inch springform pan with foil (to prevent leaks). Allow 1 container of ice cream to sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes, or until slightly softened. In a medium bowl, mix all but 1/4 cup of the chocolate sandwich cookies and the hot fudge sauce. In another bowl, stir together the whipped topping, caramel and 1/4 cup of the almonds. Spread the full container of softened ice cream into the bottom of the prepared pan. Spread the ice cream so that it is flat, even and has no air bubbles. Top with the hot-fudge mixture, then freeze for 15 minutes. While the cake freezes, allow the second container of ice cream to soften at room temperature. Spread the second flavor of ice cream over the hot fudge mixture. Spoon and spread the caramel-nut topping over the second flavor of ice cream. Sprinkle the top with the reserved cookies and almonds. Decorate with maraschino cherries and freeze until firm, at least 2 hours. To serve, remove the sides and bottom of the springform pan and transfer to a serving plate.

The Bi-Rite Creamery in San Francisco has graduated well past plain vanilla, as evidenced by this rather exotic case. Salted caramel is ‘the most popular flavor by far,’ marketing director Kirsten Bourne said

brought in. These days, chefs are churning out their own creations. Rowan likes to use whatever is in season when making her sorbets and gelatos. A specialty is spumoni made with layers of chocolate, cherry and pistachio. “I kind of had to wait until cherries came into season, and they’ve been really good for the past week and a half, so I finally got to make

spumoni gelato,” she said. She likes to experiment; a recent creation was a Marsala (a sweet fortified Italian wine) date gelato, a new take on rum-raisin ice cream. But she’s not into choosing ingredients for shock value. “I’ve done a basil gelato,” she said. “It was OK.” Her favorite thing is to take a beautiful ingredient, like a perfectly ripe peach, and turn

it into something that still tastes like a peach. “Apricots. I had some great apricots and turned it into a beautiful sorbet with a little bit of honey,” she said. “Once it came out of the machine you couldn’t tell if it was a gelato or a sorbet. It was great. Sometimes, I’m just like, ‘Wow, I can’t believe I made that,’ ” she added with a laugh.

classic dessert. Just like the scooped ice cream, the soft serve is made from Straus Family Organic Dairy products. The two daily soft-serve flavors, based on seasonal, local ingredients, can be combined in a swirl. The popular Kris’s Combo contains vanilla soft serve with blood orange olive oil and Maldon sea salt. The dream of a better ice cream extends to restaurants.

Zaremski said. “People have been asking for it since we opened. Many like to do a peanut butter and vanilla twist or layer it with chocolate on a cone.” If you’re one of the many who have been waiting for it to pop up on the menu you’re in luck, as today is the day Curly Creme switches the week’s feature flavor to peanut-butter soft serve.

By the way, salted caramel is hot in the world of ice cream; it’s popping up at creameries everywhere. Another big trend in ice cream is soft-serve. But we’re not talking the pale, bland swirl of tonsil-chilling sweetness you may remember from childhood. At Bi-Rite Creamery in San Francisco, soft-serve flavors include vanilla, of course, but also spicy Mexican chocolate and balsamic strawberry. They also have salted caramel, which marketing director Kirsten Bourne said is “the most popular flavor by far.” The Creamery added softserve to its ice cream offerings last year after realizing that the shop, with its retro-vibe, was the perfect setting for the

can be added to ice cream. The selection ranges from animal crackers and gummi worms to M&Ms and shredded coconut. If the endless combinations are too daunting, customers can choose a Back Mountain Creamery Creation with preselected ingredients. “We had a bartender from Hawaii come in here once and try the Maui Sunrise,” Peterlin said. “He told us that was actually the name of a drink he served and that our dish tasted just like it just, of course, without the alcohol.” The Maui Sunrise is made of Dreamsicle ice cream, which has an orange flavor, with fresh banana, shredded coconut, yellow cake and pineapple. All of the ingredients are mixed, by hand, on a chilled stone in front of the customer’s eyes, then served up in either a Styrofoam cup or waffle bowl. It’s a procedure similar to the one in place at Cold Stone Creamery on Mundy Street in Wilkes-Barre Township, where this month’s featured flavor is chocolate hazelnut and next month’s will be strawberry basil. Local soft-serve hotspot Curly Crème, in Plains Township, meanwhile, which recently reopened after a year’s hiatus, might have more traditional flavors, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t wildly popular. “It’s a simple flavor, but people go crazy over our peanutbutter soft serve,” owner Janine

Fan of Hollywood wonders if the reality of romance is just a dream Dear Abby: I come from a Third World country and live as a legal alien in San Francisco. I grew up reading great American authors, watching American TV and Hollywood movies, so I thought I had a good understanding about your Western societal structure. I have made many friends in this wonderful city, but the women here drive me crazy. I am a romantic at heart, but not desperate. However, my gestures are often misunderstood. One time I gave a feminist/radical girl a book about the feminist movement and she freaked out. She said she wasn’t looking for anything serious and didn’t

DEAR ABBY

believe in romance? Or is there something wrong with ME? — California Dreamer

ADVICE want me to expect anything from her. Abby, it was just a book, not a diamond ring. I was in a relationship for four months. It was fine, until I told her I was madly in love with her. She freaked out and said she didn’t want to get tied down. I was dumbfounded and heartbroken. A few months later, I started dating again and met an incredible woman who made my heart skip a beat. I enjoyed being with her so much I sent flowers to her workplace. She freaked out, too. Am I being completely ignorant to

Dear Dreamer: There isn’t anything “wrong” with you, but I suspect you’re coming on a bit too strong, too quickly. Life in the United States isn’t the way it’s depicted in novels, television and Hollywood movies. Getting to know someone takes time — so take more time before declaring you’re madly in love. And the next time you feel the urge to give someone flowers, send them to her home because some professional women prefer to keep their private lives separate from where they work.

lymphoma off and on for two years. Friends and neighbors call him often. However, not one of them has ever asked me how I’m doing. I understand the awkwardness of emotional conversations, but it deeply disappoints me that people act as though my husband’s cancer doesn’t affect me. What’s the best way for us to care for each other? We are all so fragile and vulnerable. — Hurting Too in Hawaii Dear Hurting Too: I agree. The answer is for people to realize that lifethreatening diseases affect the entire family, not just the patient. In your case, if someone asks how your husband is doing, you should say, “‘John’ is doing well so far, but his illness has

been very stressful for me. Thanks for asking.” It may start the conversation you want to have. However, if it doesn’t, you should check out the American Cancer Society’s website, www.cancer. org, which lists the location of support groups everywhere. It would be helpful for you emotionally and spiritually to join a group of caregivers who are coping with what you have been experiencing.

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your way is no better or worse; it just is. As long as it works for you, it works — period. Try not to compare yourself to others in any way for the next 48 hours. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You will bring your very best efforts to the table. You’ll do what you can in the moment, and when the moment is gone, you’ll say, “Well, I did what I could.” GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There’s a time you have only a dim recollection of, and if you think hard, you’ll remember it even less. Such a time will only be remembered when you relax and enjoy yourself. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll put on a good face for your friends. Is that really you? An internal struggle rages on, a battle between who you think you should be and who you essentially are. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your mood: content. There is nothing to need or want, and that’s a good feeling. Tomorrow your ambition kicks in anew, so enjoy the present peaceful mental state. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You would love to witness a mystical happening. As imaginative and open-minded as you are, you would handle such a breach of the agreed-upon reality quite well. Hold on to hope, and such an event could happen today. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your steady approach to domestic matters makes your home a place of peace and tranquility. The stability you provide is a gift and is more necessary than you know.

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

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A project will demand much of you. You will win the prize for “the most stamina.” You will keep going until there is no one else left standing, and you’ll continue for many hours beyond that point. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Though you’ve tried to be economical in your dealings, you realize there is a degree of waste that must happen in order for you to create your new reality. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Monkeys and birds preen constantly. Goats like you are not as worried about appearances, though you’ll do something extra in this department now — like get a haircut or take an extralong bath. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Who will do your bidding? When you are willing and able, you usually do it yourself. Once in a while, it’s nice to know you can trust someone else to do it for you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The one who finishes first is not the winner. The winner will be determined by some other criteria more subtle and strange — for instance, the one who involves the most senses while listening. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 15). In the past, you might have deemed a circumstance as “unfair” and written it off as simply the way the world works. This year will be different. You’ll organize your world the way you want it and turn the fortunes in your favor. Capricorn and Cancer people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 48, 32, 11 and 6.

Today

Letting some air out Creeping inflation has been a concern for investors as well as shoppers. When the Labor Department releases the Consumer Price Index today, we’ll find out how much prices rose in May. In April, the index rose to its highest level in two years. But the worst of it may be over. Excluding energy and food, which make up about 20 percent of the index, economists expect that consumer prices fell last month.

The nation’s factories have slowed their growth the past few months. In April, the problem was a drop in production related to the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. The Federal Reserve’s report on industrial production will show whether the trend continued in May. Economists are concerned that consumer demand for goods in this country is down because the economy has been weaker. If that’s so, today’s number could be disappointing.

The National Association of Home Builders releases its housing market index for June. The results are not expected to be encouraging. The index is compiled from a survey of homebuilders. And the spring selling season has so far been a disappointment. So the index is likely to reflect homebuilders’ ongoing pessimism as they await a housing recovery – one that seems even more remote than it did at the start of this year.

Greek credit rating tanks

Greece on Monday was accorded the lowest sovereign credit rating in the world, over fears private investors will have to share the burden of a potential debt restructuring. Standard and Poor’s rating agency slashed the country’s rating from B to CCC, warning of the likelihood of one or more defaults over the next couple of years as the country struggles to meet its colossal financing requirements. The agency also cited risks from internal political disagreements surrounding new cutbacks and privatizations, which Papandreou must push through Parliament to secure disbursements from a (euro) 110 billion international bailout package — without which the country would default in weeks.

Firepot dangers revealed

The government is warning about outdoor ceramic pots known as firepots, after two people were burned in accidents in New York. The Consumer Product Safety Commission wants people to use additional caution when lighting the flame on firepots. The warning from the agency that regulates thousands of consumer products comes after reports of two incidents in the last few weeks in which the victims were pouring a gel-like fuel into the ceramic pots when they exploded in flames. Both victims, a teenager and a man in his 20s, suffered serious injuries. Also included in the agency’s warning on Tuesday is a caution about tiki torches and the fuels used to light them.

Lockheed to cut space jobs

Aerospace and defense contractor Lockheed Martin Corp. plans to cut 1,200 employees in its space systems equipment division. The company said Tuesday the cuts will be nationwide and trim the division’s16,000-person work force by nearly 8 percent. The company said middle management will be reduced by 25 percent. The cuts will most heavily affect areas where Lockheed Martin is ending contracts, such as Sunnyvale, Calif., the Delaware Valley region of Pennsylvania, and Denver, Colo.

Honda profits take dive

Honda’s profit for the fiscal year through March 2012 is expected to plunge 63.5 percent as vehicles sales slipped amid a parts shortage caused by the quake and tsunami in northeastern Japan. Honda Motor Co. gave the forecast Tuesday, more than a month later than usual. Like other Japanese automakers, the maker of the Odyssey minivan and the Fit compact needed more time to assess the aftermath of the March 11 disaster. But Honda said vehicle production in Japan is expected to be back at nearly normal levels by later this month, and production in regions outside of Japan is expected to be back up to pre-disaster levels in August or September.

sunscreens and make them easier to use. The key takeaway for consumers: Look for a sun protection factor, or SPF, of 15 and above that also says “broad spectrum.” That’s the new buzzword from the Food and Drug Administration to describe a product that does an acceptable job blocking both types of damaging rays. “These changes to sunscreen labels are an important part of helping consumers have the information they need so they can choose the right sun protection for themselves and their families,” said Dr. Janet Woodcock, director of FDA’s drug division. The new regulations require that sunscreens be tested for the ability to block the more dangerous ultraviolet A rays,

NEW YORK — Google is investing $280 million to help private homeowners put solar panels on their rooftops. It’s Google’s latest — and largest — investment in clean energy. The money will allow installer SolarCity to offer solar systems to homeowners for no money up front. In exchange, customers agree to pay a set price for the power produced by the panels. Google earns a return on its investment by charging SolarCity interest to use its money and reaping the benefits of federal and local renewable energy tax credits. “It allows us to put our capital to work in a way that is very important to the founders and to Google, and we found a good business model to support,” said Joel Conkling of Google’s Green

Sunscreen label rules aid users By MATTHEW PERRONE AP Health Writer WASHINGTON — Help is on the way to consumers confused by the jumble of sun protection numbers and other claims on sunscreens. Under new rules published Tuesday, sunscreens will have to prove they filter out ultraviolet B rays and ultraviolet A rays to claim they protect against skin cancer. Starting next summer, if they don’t protect against both, or the sun protection factor is below 15, then they have to carry a warning: “This product has been shown only to help prevent sunburn, not skin cancer or early skin aging.” The guidelines, which spent more than 30 years in bureaucratic limbo, are designed to enhance the effectiveness of

WASHINGTON — The White House and Congress should work togetherin“goodfaith”tosolvethe nation’s budget crisis and shy away from using a necessary increase in the debt ceiling as a tool to bend the will of opponents, Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben Bernanke said Tuesday. “I fully understand the desire to use the debt limit deadline to Bernanke force some necessary and difficult fiscal policy adjustments, but the debt limit is the wrong tool for that important job,” Bernanke said in a speech to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. Bernanke urged Congress to put the debt ceiling increase on a separate track from talks to put the budget on sounder footing. Nothingshouldbedonetoshake the confidence of investors in the willingness of the U.S. government to pay its bills, Bernanke said. “Failing to raise the debt ceiling in a timely way would be self-defeating if the objective is to chart a course toward a better fiscal situation for our nation,” he said. Even a short suspension in payments on principal or interest on the Treasury’s debt obligations could cause “severe disruptions in financial markets” or damage the special role of the dollar and Treasury securities in global markets in the longer term, he said. The Obama administration is warning that the $14.3 trillion debt ceiling must be raised before Aug. 2 to stave off a government default. Speaking Tuesday on NBC’s “Today” show, President Barack Obama warned that the country risks a financial meltdown if Congress

Republicans are demanding deep spending cuts in exchange for “yes” votes on raising the borrowing limit — a position they were to reiterateonTuesdayinclosed-door talks led by Vice President Joe Biden. Those talks are at a critical stage, with a proposals including a cap on domestic spending on the table this week.

In the eight months the handyman business has been operating, Bill said his father’s input has been invaluable, and Ed said seeing his son succeeding in something he loves doing makes him proud. Bill said he’s grown to appreciate his father more by hearing his wisdom. “It’s great. We have about

“I urge the Congress and the administration to work in good faith to quickly develop and implement a credible plan to achieve longterm sustainability,” Bernanke said. Without such a deal, the U.S. is moving ever closer to the point where the deficit could cause a sudden financial crisis, he warned. “As we have seen in a number of countries recently, interest rates can soar quickly if investors lose confidence in the ability of a government to manage its fiscal policy,” he said. “Although historical experience and economic theory do not show the exact threshold at which the perceived risks associated with the U.S. public debt would increase markedly,wecanbesurethat,without corrective action, our fiscal trajectory is moving the nation ever closer to that point,” Bernanke said. nothing in common,” Bill said. “But as a father and son, I think it’s made us much closer.” Ed said he talks to Rob daily, and sees him often when he travels out to the San Diego office. And he sees Bill on a daily basis. Though he never envisioned being so involved in his son’s professional lives, he said he’s pleased with the way things have worked out. “When you’re working with your son, you develop an appreciation that you wouldn’t have if you weren’t working with them,” Ed said. “You get an appreciation of them as adults.” Rob, when told of his dad’s words, said: “I could probably repeat that comment from my angle and feel the same way.”

Business Operations in an interview before the company announced the investment Tuesday. Google co-founder and chief executive Larry Page wants Google’s operations to eventually produce no net greenhouse gas emissions. To this end, Google has invested in wind farms in North Dakota, California and Oregon, solar projects in California and Germany, and the early stages of a transmission system off the East Coast meant to foster the construction of offshore wind farms. This will be Google’s seventh green energy investment, totaling more than $680 million. The money goes into a fund that SolarCity will use to pay for solar systems for residents. This type of fund is common in the residential solar industry, but this is the largest such fund ever created.

A typical rooftop solar system costs $25,000 to $30,000, too much for many homeowners to lay out. Instead, solar providers like SolarCity and competitors SunRun and Sungevity can pay for the system with money borrowed from a bank or a speciallydesigned fund. The resident then pays a set rate for the power generated. The rate is lower than or roughly the same as the local electricity price.

A typical 5-kilowatt system will generate about 7,000 kilowatt-hours of power in a year, or about 60 percent of the typical household’s annual use. The homeowner buys whatever remaining electric power he needs from the local utility. The homeowner typically enjoys lower overall power bills and is protected somewhat against potentially higher traditional electricity prices in the future.

ciation. Under the new rules: • The FDA will prohibit sunscreen marketing claims like “waterproof” and “sweatproof.” • The FDA also proposes capping the highest SPF value at 50, unless companies can provide results of further testing that support a higher number. • FDA says makers must phase out a four-star system currently used by some companies to rate UVA protection. In reviewing more than 3,000 comments submitted to the

agency, the FDA decided the star system was too confusing. Instead, protection against UVA should be proportional to protection against UVB, which is already measured using SPF. There is a popular misconception that SPF relates to time of solar exposure. Many consumers believe that if they normally get sunburn in one hour, then an SPF 15 sunscreen allows them to stay in the sun for 15 hours without burning. This is not true because SPF is not directly related to length of sun exposure.

NEW YORK — J.C. Penney Co. is looking to bite into the magic of Apple. The mid-brow department store chain has named Ron Johnson, who pioneered Apple Inc.’s retail stores, its next CEO. He will succeed Myron Ullman III in November, the retailer said Tuesday. During his 11 years at Apple, Johnson led Apple’s retail stores and has been credited with developing the popular Genius Bar, where customers can get hands-on technical support for their Mac, iPad or other devices. Johnson, 52, will report to Ullman, who will become executive chairman. Johnson will also join J.C. Penney’s board of directors in August. Ullman has been CEO and chairman since December 2004. Apple’s retail chain has grown to 300 stores in the U.S. and abroad and has become the gold standard for other retailers looking to make their stores modern and exciting. Johnson joined Apple after 15 years at Target Corp. Penney’s shares rose $5.71, or almost 19 percent, to $35.82 after the announcement.

How many stocks should you own?

s s s s s s s s s

Warren Buffett has 26 stocks in Berkshire Hathaway’s portfolio. George Soros has about 700 in his hedge fund. How many should you own?

Invest like Buffett Buffett believes in carefully researching before buying. He has a small number of stocks b because he finds few that fit his long-term investing strategy, says Morningstar’s Greg Warren. A book about Buffett and Soros, “The Winning Investment Habits of Warren Buffett & George Soros,” makes the case that it’s easier to make money with a few well-picked stocks than with many you don’t have time to focus on. You also need to keep track of your stocks after you buy – you can’t just buy and forget about them. But beware: Owning few stocks can put your portfolio at risk if one or more take a bigger fall than the overall market.

Invest like Soros Despite the advice in the book, Soros is known for betting on a range of investments. His fund has everything from gold miners and retailers to commodities. Some financial analysts say you should own at least 50 stocks to be sure you’re protected against risk. Buffett and Soros acknowledge in their book that fear of risk is a big factor in how many stocks people own. Having more stocks can protect you when one company or industry falls more than the overall market. The S&P 500 is down 6 percent since the market’s 2011 high on April 29. If you’re heavily invested in energy, you’ve taken a bigger hit. Energy stocks in the index are down 9 percent.

Can’t decide? Try a combo approach. Invest most of your money in low-cost mutual funds that track a broad index, such as the Wilshire 5000. It tracks the entire market. Then buy shares in individual companies you’ve researched. Chip Cutter, Elizabeth Gramling • AP
