Families in Greece hurting, locals say

European economic turmoil taking its toll, area people of Greek heritage say. By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Local people of Greek heritage agree that some of that country’s economic woes are self-inflicted. But they say family members are suffering in a society in which unrest, uncertainty and unemployment have drawn negative headlines for months. The Greek economy has been in freefall since 2009, resulting in unsustainable debt, ballooning

WILKES-BARRE TWP. – A new outdoor venue for local farmers to sell the fruits – and vegetables – of their labor and for a variety of other vendors as well opened on Tuesday to a modest but enthusiastic turnout.

Paper: Probe finds LCB officials took gifts Three top Pennsylvania officials named in report, Philadelphia Inquirer says. The Associated Press

HARRISBURG — State inspectors have concluded that three top officials at the Pennsylvania Liquor Control board accepted gifts and favors from vendors and other businesses, a newspaper reported Tuesday. The Philadelphia Inquirer said it obtained a confidential report that the state Inspector General’s Office submitted to the governor’s office in late

March. A spokesman for the office told the newspaper the matter had also been referred to the state Ethics Commission. The report names board chief executive officer Joe Conti, member Patrick Stapleton III and marketing director James Short as having accepted gifts and favors, such as wine and tickets to sporting events and golf tournaments. It alleges that one vendor got Stapleton a round of golf with a pro during a tournament at Aronimink and sent two employees to serve as the official’s caddies. The paper said the report also suggests

that Conti lobbied a vendor and pressed others inside and outside the agency for jobs for relatives. Conti, Stapleton, and Short declined to be interviewed through liquor board spokeswoman Stacey Witalec, who said the board had “never been presented with the report or notified of any formal investigation,” the Inquirer reported. “We will be prepared to discuss any details when formally notified,” Witalec said. John Contino, executive director of the Ethics Commission, said his agency neither confirms nor denies the existence of any investigation.

HARVEYS LAKE – Council authorized the solicitation of bids for the relocation of the police department in a 3-2 vote at a meeting Tuesday. Council members Larry Radel, Fran Kopko and Boyd Barber voted in favor of advertising bids, while Michell’e Boice and Amy Williams voted against the measure. Two council members, Thomas Kehler and Ed Kelly, were absent. The vote came after several residents questioned the process through which council acquired local share account or gaming grant funds for the project. Boice also made a motion to “slow down” the process of relocating the police department until “further effort and study” could be completed towards the feasibility of the move. The borough received a $78,000 grant in March to relocate the police department currently housed on state Route 415 to a vacant recreation center beside the Harveys Lake Little League fields on Little League Road. Boice said council had provided residents with misinformation on the grant application process and how the money can be used at an April public hearing on the matter, to which Radel responded Boice was “out of order.” Resident Ed Williams, who said he was representing the Marina Point Homeowners Association, told council he felt the public was not adequately solicited for input on this project. Resident Rob Weaver suggested council look into renovating the existing police station, which once was a bait-and-tackle store owned by Grotto owner Joe Pagliante. Weaver said he took a tour of the facility, and while he agreed there were plumbing issues that needed to be resolved, but disagreed the department should be moved altogether. Radel said council could rewrite the grant to conduct renovations on the existing department, but there would be no guarantee that funding could be secured for that project as it would need to be reviewed again. The grant application has been changed since its approval. Council eliminated moving the borough secretary and zoning officer to the current police department because Radel said the grant writers wanted to keep costs at a minimum to ensure the grant application would be approved. He said that aspect of the project would cost more because of the necessary renovations needed in the existing police department. In another matter, council entered into a contract with the state Department of Environmental Protection for a grant relating to storm water control with a maximum amount of $366,100. Radel said this is related to a grant received to remove phosphorus and other materials from the lake.

Bath salts ban nears

U.S. Senate and House leaders negotiating a compromise Food and Drug Administration reauthorization bill have agreed to include language to place a national ban on synthetic drugs like bath salts and synthetic marijuana, according to U.S. Sen. Bob Casey’s office. Casey The agreement would control 26 synthetic substances under the Controlled Substances Act and double the length of time the DEA can temporarily ban substances to allow a permanent ban to take effect. “For Pennsylvania communities that have faced violence and crimes as a result of synthetic drugs like bath salts, this agreement is very welcome news,” said Casey, D-Scranton. “I pushed legislation to get these substances off our streets and prevent the horrible acts of violence synthetic drugs induce, so it is a relief that a ban appears to finally be close to becoming law.” Casey helped to secure a ban as part of the Senate FDA reauthorization bill, but the House-passed version of the FDA bill did not include the anti-drug provision.

To kick off the Luzerne County Library System’s summer reading program, Sheehy-Farmer Campus Center at King’s College, will host “Life in Space,” a traveling Franklin Institute science production being held Thursday at 10:30 a.m. The program is to complement the county libraries’ summer reading theme, “Dream Big-Read.” The theme revolves around all nocturnal subjects such as dreams, stars and planets, spooky stories and more. “It’s a great way to encourage children to keep reading throughout the summer,” said Elaine Rash, coordinator of youth services at the Osterhout. “Life in Space” will discuss the force of gravity and use Newton’s third law of motion to launch a rocket prototype. Once in space, demonstrators will explain freefall and microgravity. The instructor will also enlist one child to try on “The World’s Cheapest Space Suit,” after discussing the functions of the space suit. This event is free, and Rash said she expects about 300 children since it entails all of the county’s libraries. “Life in Space” will hold a second showing at 2 p.m. Thursday at the Hazleton Area Public Library.

Former Dallas Middle School special-education teacher David Shuga leaves a district judge’s court after his arraignment Tuesday afternoon in Kingston Township.

Charges are filed

Ex-Dallas teacher allegedly took students’ photos By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

INGSTON TWP. – A former Dallas Middle School special-education teacher allegedly admitted he took pictures of “intimate parts” of female students, according to charges filed. David Shuga, 49, of Terrace Avenue, Kingston Township, surrendered Tuesday on a charge of invasion of privacy that was filed after an investigation by Dallas Township police and Luzerne County detectives. He was accompanied by attorney Frank Nocito

when he was arraigned by District Judge James Tupper, who released him on $5,000 unsecured bail. Shuga and Nocito declined comment after the arraignment. Authorities allege a student took a picture of Shuga using a cellphone to photograph female students. District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis said in a news release that Shuga, in his capacity as a middle school teacher, took photographs

of intimate parts of the bodies of several female students, including their buttocks and groin areas, without the students’ knowledge or consent. Shuga submitted his resignation the same day Superintendent Frank Galicki said administrators became aware of the allegations. Dallas School Board members accepted Shuga’s resignation on June 11.

Luzerne County Council adopted an administrative code Tuesday, the final of three codes required by the home rule charter. The administrative code was lengthier than the previously approved ethics and personnel codes because it’s a master plan of powers and procedures under the new government structure.

DA’s office cites many continuances sought by Selenski, defense team By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Assistant District Attorney Jarrett Ferentino said Tuesday the question he is often asked is, “Why hasn’t Hugo Selenski gone to trial yet?” The answer, he said Tuesday at the second day of a motions hearing on requests made by Selenski’s attorney, is simple:

“The defense has (repeatedly) asked for delays,” Ferentino said in response to a request by Selenski Selenski’s attorneys to have charges dismissed because the defendant wasn’t brought to trial under a speedy trial law.

Selenski, 38, faces the death penalty if convicted in the killing of Tammy Fassett and Michael Kerkowski, both 37. Investigators allege Selenski killed Fassett and Kerkowski on May 3, 2002. Selenski’s trial is set to begin on Sept. 10. Judge Fred Pierantoni, after hearing two days of arguments regarding dozens of requests, said he will accept

court papers supporting attorneys’ arguments and make a ruling sometime after 21 days. Ferentino cited a dozen dates between 2007 and 2012 when defense attorneys or Selenski himself requested a continuance in the trial. Selenski waived his right to a speedy trial, also known as a Rule 600 waiver, Ferentino said.

“The defense has used a maze of delay tactics,” Ferentino added. Prosecutors also subpoenaed three current county judges and one former judge, all of whom presided over Selenski’s case at one time.

When complete, Wilkes-Barre Boulevard, a main thoroughfare, will have been significantly improved in the sections of roadway that needed it the most.” McLaughlin said milling and paving work will begin on North Sherman Street between Route 309 and Coal Street this evening and continue into Thursday. He said 86 handicapped accessibility upgrades have already been completed on the project. Remaining streets scheduled to be paved under the K-Route program include: • North Main Street, Public Square to North Street • South Main Street, Blackman Street to Wilkes-Barre Boulevard

McLaughlin said all work is scheduled for completion by August of this year. “We have other infrastructure projects planned and more street paving,” McLaughlin said. “The Coal Street Road Project will be completed this year; it’s more than 50 percent complete.” The Coal Street renovation/expansion has widened the main artery to the city to five lanes. Other projects have caused drivers delays:

• The Veterans Memorial Bridge – also called the Pierce Street Bridge -- has been reduced to one lane each way while the deck is replaced. • The detour around the Sterling Hotel on North River and West Market streets remains, with no end in sight. • River Street will undergo a traffic-calming project aimed at slowing the traffic on the riverside roadway to improve safety and access to the River Common Park. • A bridge and road reconstruction project is ongoing along North River Street in Plains Township, between the Cross Valley and the city.

Mubarak is on life support

B R I E F

Meanwhile, political fight over who will succeed him threatens to plunge Egypt into chaos.

The Muslim Brotherhood, emboldened by its claims that its candidate won the election, sent tens of thousands of its supporters into the street. It was an escalation of Mubarak its confrontation against the ruling generals over their grab this week of sweeping powers that give them dominance over the next president. About 50,000 protesters, mostly Islamists, protested in Cairo’s Tahrir Square on Tuesday evening chanting slogans in support of the Brotherhood’s candidate Mohammed Morsi and denouncing the generals. “We, the people, gave them (the military) legitimacy and we now are taking back,” said Saber Ibrahim, a 36year-old school teacher who came from his native Beni Suef south of Cairo to participate in the rally. The conflicting claims over the elec-

Rohingya Muslim from Myanmar Mohammad Rafique, left, and his wife, Amina Akhtar, rest at a Bangladeshi coast guard base Tuesday at Shahporir Dwip in Taknaf, Bangladesh, as they wait to be sent back to Myanmar. Amina Akhtar gave birth at St. Martin’s island in Bangladesh after they fle ethnic violence between Buddhists and minority Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar a few days ago.

CAIRO — Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak was being kept alive by life support after the 84-year-old ousted leader suffered a stroke in prison Tuesday, officials said, deepening the country’s uncertainty just as a potentially explosive fight opened over who will succeed him, with both candidates claiming to have won last weekend’s presidential election. The developments, which saw Mubarak moved out of prison to a military hospital, add further layers to what is threatening to become a new chapter of unrest and political power struggles in Egypt, 16 months after Mubarak was ousted by a popular uprising demanding democracy.

tion could further stoke the heat. The campaign of Mubarak’s former prime minister, Ahmed Shafiq, said Tuesday he won the election, denying the Brotherhood’s claim of Morsi’s victory. Hundreds of his supporters took to the streets in Cairo in celebration. The election commission is to announce the official final results on Thursday and no matter who it names as victor, his rival is likely to reject the result as a fraud. If Shafiq is declared winner in particular, it could spark an explosive backlash from the Brotherhood, which has said Shafiq could only win by fraud. The sudden health crisis of Mubarak, who is serving a life prison sentence, briefly overshadowed the political standoff. Moving Mubarak out of prison is likely to further infuriate many in the public. Many Egyptians have been skeptical of earlier reports that his health was worsening since he was put in prison on June 2, believing the reports were just a pre-

Liquor deal off for now

fforts in the state House of Representatives to privatize the sale of wine and spirits in Pennsylvania have been called off for the summer, with the proposal’s main sponsor saying Tuesday that he plans to try again this fall with help from the governor. House Majority Leader Mike Turzai, R-Bradford Woods, said after a closeddoor budget meeting Tuesday that supporters "have more work to do" before a proposal will again see debate. Gov. Tom Corbett said his administration “will be working very closely” with House lawmakers over the summer regarding privatization.

KABUL, AFGHANISTAN

NATO base is stormed Violence spiked in southern Afghanistan as militants stormed a NATO military base and attacked a police checkpoint Tuesday, a day after gunmen wearing police uniforms killed a U.S. soldier. Insurgents attacked a NATO base before dawn Tuesday in Kandahar’s Shah Wali Kot district, the U.S.-led coalition said. Fewer than 10 U.S. troops were wounded and officials believe coalition forces were able to kill seven or eight insurgents, said Navy Capt. John Kirby, a Pentagon spokesman. WASHINGTON

Holder fights contempt Attorney General Eric Holder wants a House panel to drop plans to try to hold him in contempt of Congress, and the panel’s chairman wants more Justice Department documents regarding Operation Fast and Furious, a flawed gun-smuggling probe in Arizona. Holder and Rep. Darrell Issa, a California Republican, scheduled a private face-to-face meeting in the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday in an effort to resolve their dispute over the investigation of Fast and Furious by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee that Issa chairs. The committee was scheduled to vote today on a contempt citation against the attorney general for failing to turn over subpoenaed documents. CINCINNATI

Cited for ‘crippled’ quip

A man who says he was charged with disorderly conduct after using the word “crippled” to promote a comedian with muscular dystrophy claims Cincinnati police violated his free speech rights, and the comedian agrees. Forest Thomer, of Cold Spring, Ky., is to appear in a Cincinnati courtroom on the charge today. He was cited by Cincinnati police last month at a park after he and comedian Ally Bruener say he asked people if they wanted to “laugh at the crippled girl.” The question was not intended to demean his friend Bruener, but to promote her next comedy show and her allybruener.com website, the two said Monday. Bruener, who is in a wheelchair because of the degenerative muscle disorder, said she would approach people after Thomer asked them the question, tell a joke and talk about her next performance. Thomer also would record some of the public’s responses for use on Bruener’s website, showing people saying: “I laughed at the crippled girl.”

text to move him to another facility. There is a widespread suspicion that security and military officials sympathetic to their old boss are giving him preferential treatment. Details of the crisis were still sketchy. Earlier the state news agency MENA and officials said that while at the Torah Prison hospital he suffered a “fast deterioration of his health.” His heart stopped beating until he was revived by defibrillation, then he suffered a stroke. At that point, he was moved from the prison hospital to Maadi military hospital — notably the same one where his predecessor Anwar Sadat was declared dead more than 30 years ago after being gunned down by Islamic militants. When Mubarak arrived at the hospital, he was “clinically dead,” MENA reported. It said doctors repeatedly defibrillated him with no initial response. But later, a security official said Mubarak was on life support. The official had no further details.

Big brother fears

Surveillance society development a concern By JOAN LOWY Associated Press

ASHINGTON — Thousands of drones patrolling U.S. skies? • Predictions that multitudes of unmanned aircraft could be flying here within a decade are raising the specter of a “surveillance society” in which no home or backyard would be off limits to prying eyes overhead. Law enforcement, oil companies, farmers, real estate agents and many others have seen the technology that was pioneered on battlefields, and they are eager to put it to use.

It’s not just talk: The government is in the early stages of devising rules for the unmanned aircraft. So far, civilian use of drones is fairly limited. The Federal Aviation Administration had issued fewer than 300 permits for drones by the end of last year. Public worries about drones began mostly on the political margins, but there are signs that they’re going mainstream. Jeff Landry, a freshman Republican congressman from Louisiana’s coastal bayou country, says constituents have stopped him while shop-

ping at Walmart to talk about their concerns. “There is a distrust amongst the people who have come and discussed this issue with me about our government,” Landry said. “It’s raising an alarm with the American public.” Fear that some drones may be armed, for example, has been fueled in part by a county sheriff’s office in Texas that used a homeland security grant to buy a $300,000, 50pound ShadowHawk helicopter drone for its SWAT team. The drone can be equipped with a 40mm gre-

nade launcher and a 12-gauge shotgun. Randy McDaniel, chief deputy with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, told The Associated Press earlier this year his office had no plans to arm the drone, but he left open the possibility the agency might decide to adapt the drone to fire tear gas canisters and rubber bullets. Earlier this year, Congress, under pressure from the Defense Department and drone manufacturers, ordered the FAA to give drones greater access to civilian airspace by 2015. Besides the military, the mandate applies to drones operated by private companies or individuals and civilian government agencies, including federal, state and local law enforcement. The military, which is bringing home unmanned aircraft from Afghanistan, wants room to test and use them. But the potential civilian market for drones may far eclipse military demand.

Dad won’t be charged for killing attacker Texas father discovered a man molesting his 5-year-old daughter and beat him to death. The Associated Press

SHINER, Texas — A young Texas father who beat to death with his fists a man molesting his 5-year-old daughter will not be charged, authorities said Tuesday, as they released a dramatic 911 tape of the dad frantically pleading to send help before the man died.

A Lavaca County grand jury on Tuesday declined to indict the 23-year-old father in the death of Jesus Mora Flores, 47, who was killed June 9 on a family ranch so remote that the father is heard profanely screaming at a dispatcher who couldn’t locate the property. “Come on! This guy is going to die on me!” the father yells in the 911 tape. “I don’t know what to do.” The Associated Press is not identifying the father in order to protect the daughter’s identity. The AP does not identify victims of sexual assault.

The attack happened on the family’s ranch off a quiet, two-lane county road between the farming towns of Shiner and Yoakum. Authorities say a witness saw Flores “forcibly carrying” the girl into a secluded area and then scrambled to find the father. Running toward his daughter’s screams, investigators said, the father pulled Flores off his child and “inflicted several blows to the man’s head and neck area.” Emergency crews found Flores’ pants and underwear pulled down on his lifeless body by the time they responded.

WASHINGTON — A budget showdown for the ages could begin after this year’s election and stretch well into 2013 — despite the threat that an impending halftrillion-dollar avalanche of tax increases and spending cuts might rekindle a national recession. The reason: an unprecedented collision of high-stakes fiscal decisions, coming at a time of intense partisanship, a teetering economy, record federal deficits and, possibly, a new president. Campaigning for the White House and Congress will make substantive action all but impossible before the elections. And agreement may be nearly as tough during a post-election, lame duck session in November and December, barring a European financial meltdown or Middle East oil supply crisis that demands an immediate response by lawmakers. “I don’t know how a Congress that can’t agree on anything in two years is all of a sudden going to come together with the administration in the last 45 days of the year to solve the problem,” said Rep. Steven LaTourette, R-Ohio. No one can confidently predict the outcome of the battle over what many are calling the “fiscal cliff.” Much depends on whether President Barack Obama defeats Republican challenger Mitt Romney in November and which party controls Congress. If Romney wins, Republicans will want to delay decisions until he takes office in January. In that case, a lame duck session would focus on postponing the spending cuts and extending current tax rates for six months to a year. If Obama is re-elected, the fight could easily stretch into 2013 due to the complex issues and the parties’ deep differences. When political and economic stakes reach these levels, the solution almost always comes from party leaders and the White House. Many in Washington expect that to be true this time as well. Even so, bipartisan groups of senators are seeking middle ground, meeting in a Washington town house, a restaurant and discreet Capitol hideaways. A common starting point has been a debt-reduction plan by a 2010 commission headed by Democrat Erskine Bowles and Republican Alan Simpson. On Tuesday, a pair of respected budget veterans – Republican Pete Domenici and Democrat Alice Rivlin -- became the latest experts to prod lawmakers to drop their ideological differences and act.

DALLAS TWP. -- A proposal by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation that was supported by the Board of Supervisors at a May work session was a topic of discussion Tuesday night. Resident Bryan Bryk, Upper Demunds Road, said the present proposal to alleviate traffic congestion on Upper Demunds Road would reduce the safety of his property by eliminating an area of his tree line. Bryk said he failed to see the benefit of the current proposal, which, at a cost of $4.7 million, would cost an additional $1.5 million as opposed to an alternative proposal also discussed by the board. Supervisor Liz Martin said the current proposal eliminated the S-curve from Route 309 to Upper Demunds Road. Martin said the board’s concern was primarily safety. Supervisor Frank Wagner said there would an opportunity for further discussion on that matter at an upcoming open meeting. In another matter, the board passed a disorderly house nuisance ordinance, which Wagner said provided a tool to address properties that are “really a mess.” The board also passed a resolution directing residents to use biodegradable/composting leaf bags for curb-side leaf pickup.

MUNICIPAL BRIEF NEWPORT TWP. -- Tax Collector Ken Angradi reminds property owners that the face period for 2012 county/municipal tax bills ends June 26. The penalty period begins June 27 and adds 10 percent to the bill. Property owners who received 2011 supplemental bills for the county/municipal and/or Greater Nanticoke Area School District are reminded the discount period ends June 30. Those making payment by mail should include their phone number on the check in case of a problem. If paying both county/municipal and school taxes, separate checks are required. Payers should be sure to allow enough time so the envelope is postmarked before the end of the face and/or discount period. If a receipt is required, enclose the entire bill with a self-addressed, stamped envelope. For home collection, call 736-6319 for an appointment.

Board member Charles Sciandra lauded the program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For every student we recoup back, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s less of a burden on our taxpayers,â&#x20AC;? Sciandra said. Also, the board voted to delay the Pennsylvania Act 93 pay schedule for the 2012-2013 school year. Not including union employee pay, salaries are to be frozen for the year. The schedule is to extend one more year to compensate for the loss. Board members thanked the employees who rallied together in support of the freeze. In another attempt to cut costs, the board approved beginning shutting down the technology coordinator position. Collective bargaining representatives need to be in agreement because it is a union position. The coordinator, James Kupetz, is to be offered a position teaching math. Board member Robert Linskey was opposed to the positionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s removal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You go ahead and do it, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to hear how poor technology is at Pittston Area,â&#x20AC;? Linskey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a step backward.â&#x20AC;? The technology coordinator, with a small staff under him, managed the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s network. The other technology employees are to remain on staff. Linskey raised objection to Kupetz taking the math position as the school administration had decided it was not needed. He said the job was even excluded from the budget proposal.

Anthony Foti said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and move away from all the past rumors and stories about how the church was falling down.â&#x20AC;? He noted those claims have been made for 10 years, yet the building remains intact. While the Signatura is referred to as the Vaticanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Supreme Court, the analogy isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t perfect. There are two appeal levels at the Signatura, Noreen Foti said, the Congressio and the Collegium. The latter is a larger panel of cardinals. The foundation had 10 days to file an appeal with the Collegium, which it did. But that is the penultimate appeal. If the Collegium upholds the closing, the last recourse is to go directly to the pope.

said, which was that the St. Stanislaus structure was too small for the newly consolidated parishes. The decree from the Signatura also seemed to dismiss an independent structural study the foundation had done that showed the Sacred Heart building was structurally sound, Foti said, in contrast to studies done in 2002 and 2008 for the diocese. According to Foti, the decree said it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;surprising that the private expert brought forth against the expert analysis (of the diocese) argues that the church only needs minor repairs.â&#x20AC;? But getting at the truth about the state of the building is a core point of the appeal, Foti countered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just want an independent study,â&#x20AC;? Foti said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bring someone in, whomever you chose, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll cover half the cost.â&#x20AC;?

going to the Apostolic Signatura. When the Signatura agreed last October to hear the case, foundation organizers took it as a hopeful sign, simply because most such appeals are rejected without a hearing. But Noreen Foti, who helped spearhead the effort, said Tuesday the Signatura Congressio ruled against the foundation. She feels the reasons given in the written decree suggested the cardinals who reviewed the case did not give sufficient weight to evidence presented. The foundation had argued that the decision to merge Sacred Heart and nearby St. Stanislaus into the St. Stanislaus building made little sense because it was too small to house everyone. According to the decree, Foti said, that argument â&#x20AC;&#x153;implicitly acknowledged the need for consolidation.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;They completely disregarded what we were challenging,â&#x20AC;?

YATESVILLE -- In an effort to reclaim tax dollars, Pittston Area School District is hoping to offer a virtual learning option as a substitute for a traditional schoolhouse education. With their 2012-2013 school year budget to be voted on next Tuesday at 6 p.m., school board members are looking for ways to keep tax money in the district that escapes when a student leaves for a cyber school. In cyber school, teachers use the Internet to communicate with students. Most cyber schools are run by private companies. All are accredited and held to state standards, but the tax money allotted for each student goes to the company, rather than the school district. Superintendent George Cosgrove said the loss is significant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It goes into the hundreds of thousands of dollars,â&#x20AC;? Cosgrove said at Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basically as if weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lost students to another district.â&#x20AC;? School administrators are to meet this week with representatives from Seneca Valley School District, a district that has remedied the problem by creating its own cyber school. At last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board meeting, the board approved a contract that will allow the district to piggyback Seneca Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program at a cost per student. Principal Jack Lussi said its program is appropriate because it aligns with Pittston

Alleged LL arsonist waives hearing Sentenced for failing Brian Gashi, 39, is charged in fire that damaged the Plains Twp. Little League press box. By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

PLAINS TWP. – A man accused of setting a fire that severely damaged the Plains Township Little League press box waived his right to a preliminary hearing Tuesday, the same day league officials learned the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees will help raise funds to repair the damage. A shackled Brian Gashi, 39, walked into the courtroom of District Judge Diana Malast to waive two counts of arson and one count each of burglary, reckless burning, theft and criminal mischief to Luzerne County Court. He was remanded to the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $100,000 bail immediately after the brief court proceeding. Township police allege Gashi intentionally set fire to the league’s press box and concession stand to cover up a burglary on June 9. Flames swept through the two-story building, causing

Pierantoni said state law prohibits the judges -- Burke, William Amesbury, Chester Muroski and former judge Joseph Van Jura -- from testifying. Attorneys also discussed nearly 40 photos prosecutors intend to use at the trial, all of which contain images of Fassett and Kerkowski when their bodies were found on the Kingston Township property where Selenski lived. Attorneys addressed the photos one by one, giving a glimpse into what the trial holds. Photos show the way Fassett

Gashi allegedly told police he left a tavern in Wilkes-Barre with a man he identified only as Matt at about 2 a.m. Gashi stated they were driving around looking for a place to plunder when they came across the Little League building on Wyoming Street. and Kerkowski were found in a grave on the property, one on top of the other, all of which Selenski’s one-time co-defendant, Paul Weakley, will testify to, prosecutors said. The photos show Fassett bound by flex ties and strangled by one. Other photos, Ferentino described, show Kerkowski’s hands bound by duct tape and flex ties, with duct tape over his eyes. Autopsy photos of Kerkowski detail bruising on Kerkowski’s shins. Assistant District Attorney Michael Melnick said the injuries were caused by a rolling pin. Selenski tortured Kerkowski, Melnick said, hoping to elicit information on obtaining the combination to a safe to get Kerkowski’s money. Trauma to Kerkowski’s skull also reveals torture, Ferentino said.

‘Fun Day’ fundraiser While league officials are picking up the pieces, office staff for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees will play ball Friday night on what is billed as “Fun Day” for Little Leaguers. “We’re very excited about this,” said Don Fox, a member of the league’s board of directors. “The support from the community has been overwhelming, from a single person to companies.” “We’re looking to raise the spirits of everyone involved with the Plains Little League in an effort to help out during a tough time,” said Doug Augis, SWB Yankees vice president of ticket sales, in a news release. “The SWB staff is excited to present something super-special that would not only help in the recovery effort, but ensure that kids, their friends and families would have a great night to remember.” The first 1,000 people will receive free hats and other giveaways when the event begins at 6:30 p.m. Donation baskets of Yankee merchandise and signed memorabilia, including a signed Andy Pettite baseball, will be auctioned.

Police said a food fryer, a public address system, an electronic scoreboard controller, food, beverages and money were stolen during the burglary. League officials cleaning up debris in the building discovered a cellphone that police traced to Gashi, according to the criminal complaint. Gashi is expected to be arraigned today on charges of stealing welding wire from a machine shop in West Wyoming on June 7.

SHUGA Continued from Page 3A

According to the criminal complaint: Two students reported to school staff on June 4 that they felt Shuga was taking inappropriate pictures of female students in his instruction room located in the middle school. The students believed Shuga had been taking pictures on a cellphone since December. One of the students stated she had a picture of Shuga taking a photograph of another female student under a table, the complaint says. Authorities said the pic-

WILKES-BARRE – A Glen Lyon woman charged with assaulting the daughter of a former Episcopal priest was sentenced Tuesday to six to 12 months in county prison after failing to complete an alcohol safety program. Angela Sweet, 28, had been convicted in September 2010 of driving under the influence, simple assault, harassment and disorderly conduct and sentenced three months later to one month to 18 months in the county’s Intermediate Punishment Program. Prosecutors say she assaulted Marilyn Malia outside the River Street Ale House in July 2010, leaving Malia with a broken nose and resulting in plastic surgery. Sweet’s original sentence was revoked Tuesday by Judge Thomas Burke after prosecutors said Sweet failed to complete her Luzerne County Alcohol Highway Safety Program, handed down as part of her sentence. Court papers indicate Sweet completed one of five required classes for failing to show up or rescheduling appointments. Burke said Sweet will be required to apply for parole once she has served her minimum sentence and completed the safety program. Burke made Sweet eligible to participate in the county’s Day Reporting Center. In September, Malia’s father, Gregory Malia, 45, formerly of Laflin, entered a no-contest plea to five counts of reckless endan-

ture taken by the student depicted Shuga seated in a chair and holding an open flip-style cellphone under the table with the face of the phone pointed in the opposite direction. Authorities allege in the complaint that Shuga admitted taking pictures of female students, specifically of the students’ groin and buttocks areas, according to the complaint. Shuga stated, the complaint alleges, he was sexually aroused by the pictures. Shuga waived his right to a preliminary hearing and is scheduled to be formally arraigned in county court on Aug. 24.

germent and two counts of simple assault stemming from the July 2009 incident. Prosecutors say Malia, a former Episcopal priest, waved a gun at his two daughters outside the bar. Sweet was one of two women with Gregory Malia in the tavern when Marilyn Malia arrived with her boyfriend, Ron Romashko, prosecutors said. They were meeting Amanda Malia and her boyfriend, Dennis Condusta, and did not know their father was there, prosecutors said. Malia testified at the September trial that her father was dancing with Sweet and intentionally bumped into her shoulder. “I threw my beer in his face,” Marilyn Malia testified. She said Sweet approached her and demanded an apology. She said that when she turned around, Sweet grabbed her from behind and punched her in the face, breaking her nose. Police said Gregory Malia and Sweet then took off in a Jaguar that was stopped by police in the Plains Plaza shopping center. Police said Sweet, the driver, had an odor of alcohol on her breath and a blood-alcohol level of .142 percent. Sweet also is awaiting trial on two counts of forgery and one count each of theft and receiving stolen property. Police allege in May that Sweet stole checks from a Larksville business and cashed them at the Main Street Trading Post, South Main Street, Wilkes-Barre, receiving $10,300, according to the criminal complaint.

OUR OPINION: EDUCATION

Dated politics hold back CTC

EARS AGO, the state changed the name of “vocational technical” schools to “career and technology centers” for a good reason: “Vo-tech” had become a dated moniker that did not reflect the goal of the schools. A well run CTC should graduate students with core skills and the ability to adapt as they enter high-demand fields. One would hope that Luzerne County’s three CTCs would reflect that notion from the top down. In the case of Wilkes-Barre Area CTC, such hopes would be as quaint as a carpentry shop equipped only with axes and chisels. Twice now, the Joint Operating Committee – representatives from five school boards of districts that send students to the center – irrationally rejected the idea of rotating the role of “superintendent of record.” The move would simply mean superintendents of each member district would take turns filling the largely clerical role, held for four decades by the Wilkes-Barre Area School

District superintendent. Dayto-day operations would remain firmly in the hands of fulltime administrator. Rotating the role is a minor way to inject fairness and freshness into the operation of the CTC. West Side CTC has done it for years. It is common sense that, in a work world where change is the norm, the JOC should want the fresh perspectives afforded by rotation. Yet the JOC – particularly representatives from WilkesBarre Area School District – reject the idea, going so far as to inanely and possibly illegally use a “proxy” vote of an absent member to fight the notion at one meeting, even though the absent member had no way of knowing the issue would come up for a vote because it wasn’t on the agenda. The only reason to reject rotation is old-school power play politics. Opponents on the JOC may as well don some bellbottoms and tie-dyes and tell students they are ready to prepare them to compete in the job world of the 1970s.

QUOTE OF THE DAY “This is not the time for rhetoric. This is a very difficult issue and the positions are not always black and white.” Gene Stilp The Democratic candidate opposing U.S. Rep Lou Barletta, R-Hazleton, in the 11th district commented on President Barack Obama’s move to stop deportation of some children of illegal immigrants.

OTHER OPINION: CITIZENSHIP

Young immigrants deserve DREAM

RESIDENT OBAMA has used powers well within his executive authority to temporarily shield from deportation a potential 800,000 undocumented immigrants brought to this country as children. No matter what you hear the policy announced by the Department of Homeland Security is not “amnesty.” ( The reprieve does not apply to parents who chose to come to this country illegally, but only to children who had no say in the decision.) And the policy does not provide paths to citizenship: That would require Congress to pass the DREAM Act, legislation that began as a Republican idea but has been blocked by Republicans (and a few Democrats). The new policy grants a twoyear renewable reprieve from deportation - as well as work permits - for immigrants under 31 if they arrived in the United States before age 16, have lived in the United States for five years continuously, have a U.S. high-school diploma or GED or served in the U.S. armed forces, and haven’t been convicted of crimes. Give credit to 2,000 young people who have bravely risked EDITORIAL BOARD

their futures to “come out” as undocumented in recent months. . President Obama clearly is making a smart political calculation. The Latino community rightly has been dismayed at the fact that the Obama administration has deported a record 1.2 million undocumented immigrants in what appears to have been an attempt to mollify opponents of comprehensive immigration reform with the notion that they might be more inclined to support incremental measures like the DREAM Act. We have seen time and again how that approach has (not) worked out. Although opponents charge that Obama abused his authority, the new policy is not an executive order bypassing Congress but a simple act of prosecutorial discretionAt the same time, Friday’s move is nowhere near sufficient. For one thing, it could be reversed by a future president. True to form, Mitt Romney has refused to say whether he would. Only Congress can solve the dilemma faced by young immigrants who have no other country but this - by passing the DREAM Act. Philadelphia Daily News

Obama isn’t playing by the rules with immigration policy SINCE HE delivered the State of the Union address in January, President Obama has often spoken about “fairness” and how “everyone should play by the same rules.” But on Friday, President Obama unilaterally changed the rules for at least 800,000 illegal immigrants – though some estimates put the number in the millions – and he discarded any pretense of acting fairly. President Obama says his administration will not deport illegal immigrants younger than the age of 30 if they meet certain criteria. Those illegal immigrants will be allowed to apply for two-year work permits that can be renewed indefinitely. That is de facto amnesty. The president not only ignored the will of Congress, which has wisely and repeatedly refused to grant such amnesty, and the separation of powers enumerated in the United States Constitution, he changed the rules and unfairly punished American citizens and those who are legally in this country. President Obama’s amnesty announcement directly hurts: • American citizens and legal immigrants who are looking for work. The national unemployment rate has been higher than 8 percent for the last 40 months, yet President Obama’s decision lets at least 800,000 illegal aliens compete for very scarce jobs; • Young Americans and young legal immigrants applying for college, scholarships

Dottie Sandusky said she knew several of the accusers, some well. Some of them, she said, were “clingy” around her husband while another was “charming.” Nearly all would stay overnight in the Sandusky home and her husband “would tell them good night,” she said. One witness testified last week that he was attacked by Jerry Sandusky in the basement of the ex-coach’s home and cried out for help when Dottie Sandusky was upstairs.

Drew McLaughlin, administrative coordinator for the city of Wilkes-Barre, said he doesn’t expect the arena’s market will have any effect on the market on Public Square, which will be open Thursdays beginning June 28. “Given the large downtown workforce that centers around Public Square, it really won’t compete.

3 county ethics complaints filed Panel unanimously agrees to notify complaint filers and subjects of its decisions. By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

Three ethics complaints have been filed since Luzerne County’s new ethics code took effect last month, the county Accountability, Conduct and Ethics Commission said Tuesday. The commission won’t discuss details about complaints. However, commission members said they can’t bar complaint filers and investigation subjects from publicly disclosing information. Commission member Robert Lawton, the county manager, said some type of reporting is warranted as the commission votes to dismiss and act on complaints and impose penalties. The commission unanimously agreed to notify complaint filers and subjects of its

in phases, starting with the repair of relief wells in south Wilkes-Barre the beginning of July. Relief wells on the land side of the levee base help control water seepage that could cause boils, which are paths under the levee that jeopardize its stability. Several wells in south Wilkes-Barre didn’t perform properly in September. Army Corps employees will clean and repair them. A lack of relief wells along the levee caused more boils to form in Wilkes-Barre, Hanover Township and Kingston during the Agnes flood in 1972, Brozena said.

decisions, including which members voted for and against each action. Commission member Griffith Walter Griffith, the county controller, also said members should publicly disclose when they are designatLawton ing someone else to serve in their place due to a conflict of interest, even though they may not discuss details. The commission agreed. Lawton said he has designated Kingston Administrator Paul Keating to fill his seat if he has a conflict. District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis has named attorney Joseph Giovannini, and Griffith selected West Wyoming resident Ray Gustave. Citizen commission members Marga-

ret Hogan and Vito Forlenza don’t have the power to appoint designees at this time, though that may change. Hogan, the commission chairwoman, noted the ethics code requires all covered employees to read the ethics code and sign a paper acknowledging they understood it. Lawton questioned what ramifications are available if employees fail to sign. Commission Solicitor Brian Bufalino said adherence to the code is required to continue employment. Griffith asked the commission to reconsider its requirement for complaints to be notarized, saying it could prevent the receipt of valid information about violations. He also wants the commission to change its stance against anonymous complaints. Hogan said both topics will be discussed at a future meeting. Kingston resident Brian Shiner said anonymous complaints should be permitted,

even if they receive a lower priority than signed ones. He cited an example of a property owner who would be afraid to report misuse of a county vehicle by a neighbor if the identity of the complainant is required. Hogan said the commission researched procedures in other counties and wanted to see if people “step up” and report alleged violations with the current notary and signature requirements. Larksville resident Renee Taffera pointed out several instances in which she believes the home rule charter has been violated and said the commission must hold elected officials and employees accountable. The first complaint filed under the new code was against the 11-member county council over the hiring process for a new council clerk, according to several sources familiar with the complaint. Most council members say they are confident the charter was followed.

spending. He said he has posted copies of all contracts he approved on the county website, www.luzernecounty.org. Lawton also said he will provide detailed analysis of all spending in his first-quarter and mid-year reports. The home rule charter doesn’t require council approval for contracts or purchases un-

less they would cost the county $25,000 in any future year or $75,000 in two or more future years. Charter drafters wanted the manager to have the freedom to authorize payments as he sees fit, as long as he doesn’t exceed the council-approved budget. Council members Stephen A. Urban and Stephen J. Urban

voted against the code, which is posted on the county website. In other business, council appointed Jack Serafin to a vacant seat on the Luzerne County Community College Board of Trustees. Olga Papa also was unanimously appointed to a seat on the county’s Drug and Alcohol Executive Commission.

Work will begin the end of July on the Market Street flood closure panels deployed on both the Kingston and Wilkes-Barre sides and the flood gate installed behind the county courthouse. Water pressure blew out sections of gasket seals on the Market Street flood gates in September. The Army Corps plans to install a new type of seal and make other modifications. The gate repairs should be completed the end of September. Two sluice gates at Ross Street and the Barney Farms area of Wilkes-Barre will be redone. The contracts are scheduled to be awarded around the end of August. The gates slide down to seal off the river when it rises. Both gates were damaged in

September, causing water to leak through. The largest phase will begin in October to repair levee boils in Plymouth, Hanover Township, Kingston and Forty Fort and the levee wall in Forty Fort. The work is weather dependent and could run into the spring. A section of the levee behind the Forty Fort Cemetery had to be reinforced with sandbags and several hundred tons of rock and dirt in September. Visible cracks also formed in the levee concrete casing at Forty Fort in September. This wall will be repaired, but Brozena said the casing is more aesthetic because the primary flood control is provided by hidden interlocked sheetpile driven at least 30 feet into the ground.

“The issue at Forty Fort was not the cracks so much as the softness of the soil on the land side,” Brozena said. A contractor will remove the temporary fill added in September and load the spot with a more compacted and effective stabilizing material. This material also will be added where boils developed behind the county recreational complex near the Wyoming Valley Airport in Forty Fort in September, by the Midway Shopping Center in Wyoming, behind The Laurels nursing home in Kingston, at the end of Fellows Avenue in Hanover Township and at several Plymouth locations. Rain from Tropical Depression Lee swelled the Susquehanna to a record 42.66 feet in September, testing the levee to capacity.

planning a meeting in two weeks time for junior high school and high school students. “We’re talking about violence among youth and we’ve not really talked to the youth,” said Walker, pastor of First Baptist Church. “We need to hear their voice. We need to hear some ideas, perhaps some solutions from them, and they need to see their community care enough about them to come out and listen to them.” That meeting has not yet been scheduled. The group will also

host a June 28 meeting at Coughlin High School to make up for a meeting canceled because of a scheduling conflict. Tuesday’s meeting continued Building Bridges’ effort to identify problems contributing to youth violence in Wilkes-Barre and to build partnerships among residents, non-profits and the city government to curb the problem. After a group brainstorming session, participants named a lack of moral values and adult supervision, poverty and a poor

economy and peer pressure as the top three challenges affecting area youth. Suggestions for curbing the problem were varied and included improving communication and visibility among neighbors, creating “safe zones” in homes, where neighborhood kids can gather in safe, supervised environments; improving involvement in existing volunteer efforts and developing individual education plans for students that engage the entire family.

Richard Assuah, a 15-year-old city resident, suggested the city build a skate park to provide a recreational option for area youth and that students at local schools get involved in raising the money to build it. “It would spread and encourage more people,” Assuah said. Assuah, part of the demographic the group aims to help, added he believes Building Bridges has the power to effect change. “Somebody has to say something, or else nothing gets done,”

he said. “It’s better to say something than say nothing.” Building Bridges is tracking the results of its brainstorming sessions to identify proactive ways of creating positive change. Organizers admitted they’re not exactly sure where it all may lead, but said they believe they are headed in the right direction. “We had an idea, but it’s gone so far beyond that in such a short time,” Walker said. “I can see this becoming a full-time job; there’s so much to do.”

man said the assault was interrupted when Dottie Sandusky walked into an adjoining room. “They were just standing ... in a hallway kind of thing... they had their clothes on, they were fully clothed,” she said. The psychologist, Elliot Atkins, told jurors he diagnosed Sandusky with histrionic personality disorder after talking with the ex-coach for six hours. People with the disorder often interact with others in inappropriately seductive ways and don’t feel comfortable unless they’re the center of attention, Atkins said. “Often these are people who did not have as much success in relationships — emotional or romantic — (and) relationships in life,” he said, responding to questions from Sandusky lawyer Joe Amendola. According to the National Institutes of Health, histrionic personality disorder occurs more often in women than in men. Sandusky’s attorney is hoping to convince jurors that the disorder could explain his client’s let-

ters to the accuser known as Victim 4 and other interaction that prosecutors allege show his grooming of victims. A prosecution psychologist, John Sebastian O’Brien II, however, testified Sandusky was a man who juggled many tasks at once, something not akin to the disorder. “I don’t see anything in any of that information to suggest he was a person with a personality disorder that caused him any problems,” O’Brien said. Amendola also questioned two state police investigators about what details they shared during interviews with the alleged victims, in particular with Victim 4. Amendola asked retired Cpl. Joseph Leiter if investigators told interviewees about others who had stepped forward. “In some of our interviews ... we did tell them,” he said. Asked why, Leiter said it was to let possible victims know they were not alone. “Each of these accusers was very, very seriously injured, and very concerned, and we had told

them — especially prior to going to the grand jury — that they wouldn’t be alone, that there were others,” Leiter said. Leiter said that did not include sharing individual accusers’ recollections of abuse, such as specific sex acts. “We never told them what anyone else had ever told us,” he said. But Amendola later read Leiter portions of an interview transcript in which the investigator told the accuser that others had reported abuse that progressed to oral sex and rape. Victim 4, now 28, testified last week that Sandusky sexually abused him in the locker-room showers and in hotels for five years while trying to ensure his silence with gifts and trips to bowl games. On the stand, he admitted he lied to police and his own lawyer about the alleged abuse, saying he had “denied it forever.” But he testified calmly and firmly, saying Sandusky performed oral sex on him and sent him “creepy love letters.” The man’s attorney, Ben Andre-

ozzi, also was called to the stand and asked about a discussion he had with investigators during a break in an interview with his client. On a difficult-to-hear recording of the discussion, Andreozzi and Leiter can be heard talking about the investigation while the accuser is out of the room. Andreozzi acknowledged to jurors that a guilty verdict in Sandusky’s trial could have an impact on his client if he files a civil lawsuit, but he told the court that hadn’t been decided yet. Andreozzi also denied coaching his client on what to say to investigators. “He viewed Jerry as a father figure to him. It’s been extremely difficult talking about this publicly,” Andreozzi said. The defense appeared to catch one of the investigators in a lie after recalling him to the stand. Trooper Scott Rossman said he hadn’t spoken to Leiter about their testimony after he first left the stand Tuesday, but Leiter said they had talked about it. Meanwhile, another witness

told jurors she knew Victim 4 through her brother and that he had a reputation for “dishonesty and embellished stories.” The woman, who said her brother was the alleged victim’s best friend, is an Iraq war veteran who suffered a brain injury before she was discharged. The defense also called former New York Jets linebacker Lance Mehl, who played for the Nittany Lions in the 1970s. “We all looked up to him as a class act,” Mehl said when Amendola asked him about Sandusky’s reputation. Earlier Tuesday, Amendola told reporters to “stay tuned” to find out if Sandusky would take the stand himself, comparing the case to a soap opera. Asked which soap opera, Amendola initially said “General Hospital,” then “All My Children.” Prosecutors rested their case Monday after presenting 21 witnesses, including eight who said they had been assaulted by Sandusky. The identities of two other alleged victims are unknown to investigators.

It’s a Heat wave

Bad news for defending NL East champs as they lose their second baseman. By BOB BROOKOVER The Philadelphia Inquirer

PHILADELPHIA - This just in from the last-place Phillies’ all-news-is-bad-news department: Second baseman Freddy Galvis has been suspended for 50 games by Major League Baseball after testing positive for a banned substance. Now, that’s throwing salt on a wounded team and player. Galvis, on the disabled list and in a body brace after suffering a fractured back June 5 against the Los An-

geles Dodgers, tested positive for a metabolite of Clostebol. According to the web site Clinical Chemistry, Clostebol is "a synthetic androgenic steroid with anabolic effects that is frequently used in sports to increase physical performance." Galvis, 22, started serving the suspension Tuesday night when the Phillies opened a three-game series against the Colorado Rockies. From a playing time and development standpoint, the suspension will have little impact because the second baseman is expected to be on the disabled list for an extended period any way. The earliest he could return is Aug. 17 at Milwaukee, but it’s unlikely he’ll be physically ready to play at that point. This is the second time the Phillies have had a majorleague player suspended for violating baseball’s drug policy, which went into effect before the 2003 season. Pitcher J.C. Romero was suspended for 50 games at the start of the 2009 season after testing positive for androstene- dione. Shortly after the announcement, Galvis issued a stateSee GALVIS, Page 3B

Miami rallies from 17 down to win By IRA WINDERMAN Fort Lauderdale Sun Sentinel

MIAMI — One more victory. One more victory for validation. Perhaps Thursday at AmericanAirlines Arena in Game 5 of these NBA Finals, when the celebration would be at its most robust, 20,000 believers along for the ride. Or perhaps in one of this bestof-seven series’ final two games, at Chesapeake Energy Arena. But the Miami Heat are on the verge of turning those July 2010 promises of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh into reality. With Tuesday night’s 104-98 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Heat moved to a 3-1 series lead, on a night James fell one rebound shy of his eighth career triple-double, with 26 points, 12 assists and nine rebounds. Every one of those numbers were needed, as were the 25 points from Wade and a 25-point reemergence from Heat point guard Mario Chalmers, which tied his career playoff high. Because on this night, it was

Oh, it wasn’t easy, and got scary for a few minutes late, when James had to be helped off the court midway through the fourth quarter with a cramp, only to return to convert a 3-pointer that put the Heat up three late. From there, Wade scored on a scoop shot for a five-point lead, but Bosh was off with a pointblank inside attempt. Westbrook scored on the other end to draw the Thunder within 99-96 with 1:43 to play.

frame, but was picked off. That proved to be a big mistake for the Yankees because after Francisco Cervelli walked, Chris Dickerson singled and Brandon Laird walked. Ramiro Pena grounded out to end the threat. The Yankees had the tying run at the plate in the top of the ninth as well after Dickerson led off the inning reaching safely on an error. Laird and Pena each flied out and Russell Branyan, who pinchhit for Doug Bernier, fouled out to end the game.

Woods loves the toughest tests, and nothing stacks up to a U.S. Open unless nasty weather is involved. And yet he closed with rounds of 75-73 at Olympic, one shy of his worst weekend at a U.S. Open. Woods had a 73-76 at Shinnecock Hills in 2004, although there were some notable differences. Only 12 of the 72 players who made the cut at Olympic had a higher score than Woods on the weekend. Shinnecock was brutal enough to produce 31 rounds in the 80s on the weekend, including 28 on the final day. No one who made the cut at Olympic shot in the 80s, and more than one major champion suggested that Saturday was the easiest the course played all week. And the biggest difference? Woods was not tied for the lead going into the weekend at Shinnecock. So what happened? How did he go from near the lead to a share of the lead to a tie for 21st? Woods attributed his 75 in the third round to being fooled by the speed of the greens, to being “just a touch off” at a major that exaggerates mistakes and to being caught between clubs on so many of his shots into the greens. Everyone faced the same greens. Everyone gets a yardage that makes him choose between taking something off and hitting it hard. “I made a living hitting half clubs,” two-time U.S. Open champion Curtis Strange said while analyzing the round on ESPN. Five shots behind going into the final round, Woods said he simply didn’t play well on the opening six holes. Hard to dispute that. He played them in 6over par, and when he finally made his first birdie, he already was 11 shots out of the lead. Halfway through the season, this is shaping up a lot like 2009. That was the year Woods won his tuneup event for every major — Bay Hill, Memorial, AT&T National and Bridgestone Invitational — without winning a major. Already this year, he won by five shots at Bay Hill and then was an also-ran at the Masters. He rallied from four shots behind to win the Memorial only to lay an egg on the weekend at the U.S. Open. That’s just a coincidence. Even before the 2009 season, Woods had won 11 times in his last start before a major, and he failed seven times to win the big one. In the immortal hash tag of Bubba Watson on Twitter, golf is hard. More relevant were the words of Webb Simpson after he won the U.S. Open for his first major. “I had a peace all day,” he said. Woods used that word — peace — a lot when he was winning majors with regularity. He probably could use some now. Butch Harmon, who spent a decade as Woods’ coach before getting fired in 2002, saw Woods tie for 40th at the Masters and wondered if he had lost his nerve. Brandel Chamblee, a Golf Channel analyst known for his biting remarks about Woods, said the 14-time major champion “choked” in the third round at Olympic. “He wants to win another major championship so bad to shut everybody up,” Chamblee said on air during the Open. “I honestly believe the pressure got to him and he choked. He was tangled up with some technical issues. I don’t think he is able to correct things like he used to be able to.” For one thing, the trophy isn’t awarded Saturday. It’s also dubious to attribute his U.S. Open to technical issues.

Adam Warren, who started the game for the Yankees, gave up the equalizing run in the bottom of the first then settled down. He didn’t allow another hit until the bottom of the fourth and that runner was erased on a double-play as he went through of stretch of retiring 12 of 14 batters. And before he got hit for a pair of runs in the seventh, he had allowed just four batters to reach base in a Bats 4, Yankees 2 Yankees Louisville span of 21 plate appearances. ab r h bi ab r h bi Russo rf 3 1 1 0 Gathright cf 4 1 2 0 But taking a 2-1 lead with one Joseph 2b 4 1 1 0 Janish ss 4 0 0 0 Mustelier lf 3 0 1 1 Costanzo 3b 4 0 1 1 out in the seventh, Warren (4-5) Cust dh 1 0 1 2 Navarro c 4 1 1 1 pr-dh 0 0 0 0 Dorn 1b 4 0 1 0 appeared to tire reaching the 100- Curtis Cervelli c 3 0 0 0 Miller dh 3 0 0 0 cf 4 0 1 0 Rojas pr-dh 0 0 0 0 pitch mark.

FORTY FORT – Nina Cencetti pitched a complete game one-hitter, striking out 14 batters to lead Duryea/Pittston Township to an 8-1 victory over Plains/North WilkesBarre in District 16 Major Division softball action.

HEAT Continued from Page 1B

Thunder within 101-98, with a jump ball then called with 17.3 seconds to play, the Heat controlling the tip off a hustle effort from Shane Battier. Chalmers then was fouled with 13.8 seconds to play. Having attempted only one free throw the entire series to that point, making it in the second period, he hit the first for a 10288 lead and the second to put the Heat up 103-98. The Heat held on from there, completing the largest comeback in franchise playoff history, from 17 down early. The Heat led 79-75 at the end of the third quarter. The 33 points they scored in the period were their high for any period in these Finals, playing the third without a turnover. The third quarter ended with James one rebound shy of his triple-double, never to get it. James had 10 points, eight assists and six rebounds at the intermission, the first time he ever had reached three thresholds that high in a postseason first half. It was a wild first half, filled with thrills, chills and even one spill of concern. The spill came when Wade fell hard on his back after a secwait to see the new arena and to come to the Lehigh Valley next year for every Phantoms home game," Shewman said in a written statement. "We have enjoyed the beautiful drive to Glens Falls, but the 45-minute ride to Allentown will be more convenient for us." Just how soon Skewman will be able to shorten his drive remains in question. Allentown is trying to build an 8,500-seat arena that would be home to the Philadelphia Flyers top affiliate, the Phantoms. The

ment through the team. "A trace amount of a banned substance - 80 parts in a trillion was detected in my urine sample," he said. "I am extremely disappointed in what has transpired. I cannot understand how even this tiny particle of a banned substance got into my body." Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said he could not comment on the amount of the substance found in Galvis’ urine sample. "I don’t know anything about those numbers," he said. "It’s kind of foreign to me. I support the player and I can’t really comment on it because I don’t know much about it." Galvis said in his statement that he did not knowingly take any banned substance. "I have not and never would knowingly use anything illegal to enhance my performance," he said. "I have always tried to follow the team’s strength and conditioning methods, listen to the trainers, work out hard and eat right. Unfortunately, the rules are the rules and I will be suspended. "I’d like to apologize to all my fans, especially here in Philadelphia and back home in Venezuela, to my teammates and to the Phillies organization. I am looking forward to putting this behind me, rehabilitating my back and returning to the Phillies as soon as possible to try to help them win another World Series." Amaro said he had spoken to

Galvis, who did not make an appearance in the home clubhouse before Tuesday’s game. "I think he’s really disappointed," Amaro said. "It is disappointing, but we move on, we move forward." While the suspension is not going to cause Galvis to miss any more time than he was likely to miss because of his back injury, it does leave a stain that can be difficult to erase. The Phillies and scouts from outside the organization raved last season and again this year about how Galvis significantly improved his strength. Now, there will be suspicion about whether steroids were a big part of that improvement for a player who is listed as 5-foot-10 and 170 pounds. Until last season, Galvis had struggled to hit for average and power in the minor leagues. Playing at double-A Reading and triple-A Lehigh Valley last season, he established career highs with a .278 average, 28 doubles and eight home runs. He was hitting .226 with 15 doubles, three home runs and 24 RBIs before suffering his back injury earlier this month. Galvis’ best tool, of course, is his glove. He had made just one error this season while filling in for the injured Chase Utley at second base. "I don’t know much about ... the apparent drug that was associated with this thing," Amaro said. "I’m going to play ignorance because I have no knowledge of any of it. As I said, I support the kid and, at the same time, I have to absolutely support the program. That’s our stance."

Big Ten, Ivy combine concussion study The Big Ten and the Ivy League are putting their heads together to address sports concussions. The leagues announced plans Tuesday to combine research efforts devoted to studying head injuries, a collaboration that will link studies initiated separately by the Big Ten in 2010 and the Ivy League last year. The leagues said they want to be national leaders “at the forefront of significant change” in examining concussions among young adults. “It will provide an incredible

boost to our ongoing efforts while reinforcing the priorities of institutional research and reciprocity between some of the nation’s top academic organizations,” said Sally Mason, the president at the University of Iowa and the chair of the Big Ten Council of Presidents and Chancellors. Among other efforts, the collaboration will continue work on a concussion management plan started by the Big Ten and a “return to play” checklist plan developed by the Ivy League. The Ivy in 2011 implemented a series designed to lower concussion rates in football.

on sale, with single game and multi-game packaging offered later. People who commit to season tickets will have to make a deposit that will be refunded if the season is canceled. It’s not the Phantoms’ only ticket drive. The team is shooting for 1,750 season ticket orders at its current 5,000-seat home in Glens Falls, N.Y. for the 2012-13 season. With the Spectrum in Philadelphia slated for demolition in 2010, the Phantoms moved to Glens Falls, as a holdover until the Allentown arena could be built.

Glens Falls is trying to demonstrate its support for hockey in the hope that it can attract a team to replace the now Adirondack Phantoms if they eventually move to Allentown. So far, about 1,250 orders have been taken, according to the team’s website. Eight different season ticket pricing packages are currently available, starting at $410 for youth season tickets. More ticket and team information is available atwww.phantomsarena.com or by calling 610-224GOAL.

In the 130-acre Neighborhood Improvement Zone, all state and local tax collections, except real estate taxes, can be used to help build the arena. But those collections include Earned Income Taxes that would normally go back to the municipalities where the workers live. So 19 municipalities

As a matter of perspective, the Thunder had led a grand total of 36 seconds in the first halves of the series first three games. and one school district in the Lehigh Valley have filed suit in Commonwealth Court. City officials are trying to negotiate a deal to give the EIT money back, but the lawsuit continues, bringing arena construction to a crawl and jeopardizing not only next season, but the entire project.

Braves 4, Yankees 3

NEW YORK — Chipper Jones atoned for a costly error by cutting down the potential tying run at the plate and the Atlanta Braves held on to end the Yankees’ 10-game winning streak, beating New York 4-3 Tuesday night. The Yankees were trying to match their longest winning string in nearly a half-century. Instead, the Braves threw out two runners at home and won for only the second time in nine games. Jason Heyward singled home the go-ahead run in the sixth inning off Hiroki Kuroda (6-7). Heyward also tripled and scored, and nailed Mark Teixeira at home with a strong throw from right field. Mets 5, Orioles 0

NEW YORK — Johan Santana pitched six sharp innings, Lucas Duda hit a two-run homer, and the New York Mets beat Baltimore 5-0 on Tuesday night for their second straight shutout of the Orioles. Santana followed R.A. Dickey’s second one-hitter in a row with his best outing since he tossed a no-hitter on June 1. Jordany Valdespin added a two-run single for New York, which won by the same score Monday night in the series opener — a rematch of the 1969 World Series won by the Miracle Mets. Tigers 6, Cardinals 3

DETROIT — Justin Verlander allowed one earned run in seven innings, leading the Detroit Tigers to a 6-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday night. Verlander (7-4) retired 12 of the first 13 hitters he faced and worked out of a seventh-inning jam to help Detroit hold on. He struck out Allen Craig with the bases loaded with his final pitch. Verlander allowed five hits and walked four, striking out only three. Red Sox 7, Marlins 5

PHILADELPHIA — Cole Hamels threw eight sharp innings, John Mayberry Jr. and Carlos Ruiz hit two-run homers and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the slumping Colorado Rockies 7-2 on Tuesday night. The last-place Phillies started a 10-game homestand with just their fourth win in 16 games. The Rockies are 1-11 since June 4. Hamels (10-3) allowed two runs and six hits, striking out seven. He improved to 7-2 following a Phillies’ loss with his best outing since tossing eight scoreless innings against Washington on May 23. The lefty had a 6.07 ERA in his previous four starts.

win in six games. Cody Ross, activated from the disabled list before the game, and Kelly Shoppach also homered as Buchholz (8-2) benefited again from a strong hitting attack. He entered the game with the second-best support in the majors, 7.51 runs per nine innings.

Pirates 7, Twins 2

PITTSBURGH — Andrew McCutchen had three hits, including his 12th homer of the season, and Kevin Correia ended a lengthy winless streak at PNC Park as the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Minnesota Twins 7-2 on Tuesday night. Correia (3-6), pitched 5 1-3 shutout innings, allowing four hits to go with a walk and two strikeouts to earn his first victory at home in nearly a year. Indians 3, Reds 2, 10 innings

CLEVELAND — Asdrubal Cabrera hit a two-run homer with one out in the 10th inning off hard-throwing Aroldis Chapman to give the Cleveland Indians a 3-2 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday night. Cabrera drove a 3-1 pitch from Chapman (4-3) into the seats in right field. The second homer allowed this season by the left-hander scored Shin-Soo Choo, who had reached on a one-out single up the middle. Royals 2, Astros 0

HOUSTON — Luke Hochevar pitched into the eighth inning, two relievers completed the shutout, and Billy Butler hit a solo home run to lead the Kansas City Royals to a 2-0 win over the Houston Astros on Tuesday night. Hochevar earned his first victory since May 12. He had four losses and two no-decisions since his previous win. Cubs 2, White Sox 1

CHICAGO — Travis Wood pitched six strong innings for his first win as a starter in more than a year, and the Chicago Cubs beat the White Sox 2-1 on Tuesday night even though Jake Peavy went the distance. David DeJesus drove in two runs with a single in the third inning. He led off the ninth with a triple, but Peavy struck out Steve Clevenger looking at a 2-2 pitch with runners on second and third.

Clemens probe a ‘waste,’ Mattingly says The Associated Press

OAKLAND, Calif. — Don Mattingly considers the five-year congressional investigation into pitcher Roger Clemens a complete waste of resources and money. The 49-year-old Clemens was acquitted Monday on all six counts that he lied to Congress when he deniedusingperformance-enhancing drugs. “What a waste. I was thinking about it after all this time, what a waste of resources,” Mattingly, manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers, said Tuesday before his team began a three-game interleague series with the Athletics. “Then you hear about teachers and stuff who don’t have paper and pencils for kids,anditseemslikewhatawaste. What a waste of money. Really, I don’t think anybody cares. “ 1982 — Pete Rose became the fifth major leaguer to appear in 3,000 games and extended a personal consecutive-game streak to 523 in a 3-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates at Three Rivers Stadium. 1992 — Kelly Saunders became the second woman to serve as a public address announcer at a major league game when she filled in for Rex Barney in Baltimore. 1994 — The Detroit Tigers’ string of 25 straight games hitting a home run ended in a 7-1 loss to Cleveland. The streak matched the major league mark set by the 1941 New York Yankees. 1998 — Sammy Sosa hit two home runs for the second straight day to set a major league record with 16 homers in June as the Chicago Cubs beat Philadelphia 9-4. 2001 — Barry Bonds broke two major league records with his 38th homer, including one set by Babe Ruth in 1928, as the Giants beat San Diego 8-3. Bonds hit a two-run shot in the eighth inning to break out of a tie with Reggie Jackson (1969) and Mark McGwire (1998) for the most homers before the All-Star break. And he became the quickest to 38, doing it in his team’s 71st game. Ruth hit 38 in 88 games in 1928. 2004 — Ken Griffey Jr. hit the 500th home run of his career, off Matt Morris, to help the Cincinnati Reds beat the St. Louis Cardinals 6-0. 2006 — Jason Jennings and two relievers combined on a one-hitter as Colorado beat Oakland 6-0. It was the first one-hitter in team history and the third time there has been one hit or less at Coors Field. 2007 — Sammy Sosa hit his 600th home run, making him the fifth player to reach the milestone. Sosa, playing for the Texas Rangers following a year out of baseball, hit a solo homer off Jason Marquis. It came in the fifth inning against the Chicago Cubs, the team he played for from 1992-2004. 2009 — Two games ended on wild pitches in extra innings. Nate Schierholtz scored the winning run for San Francisco on a wild pitch by Jason Jennings with two outs in the 11th inning and the Giants beat the Texas Rangers 2-1. Earlier, the Chicago Cubs beat Cleveland 6-5 in 13 innings when Andres Blanco came home on Kerry Wood’s gaffe. Today's birthday's: Kendry Morales 28; Kevin Gregg 33; Carlos Lee 35; Juan Castro 39.

Irish set 10-year contract for Brey

NFL

DE Hargrove says it’s not him on recording

‘Give me the money’ man denies making exclamation as charged by league. By RACHEL COHEN AP Sports Writer

The Associated Press

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — When Mike Brey was hired at Notre Dame back in 2000, he was asked how long he planned on sticking around. The coach before Brey, Matt Doherty, left for North Carolina after just one season. “I thought to myself and I answered it: ‘This is the last stop if you handle it the right way,”’ Brey recalled of his answer 12 years ago, moments after Notre Dame announced a new 10-year contract Brey for Brey that will run through June 2022. “It’s looking more like we’ve handled it the right way and I’m honored and thrilled that this can be the last stop,” the 53-year-old Brey said Tuesday. Brey has led the Irish to six consecutive 20-win seasons. Notre Dame finished the 2011-12 season with a 22-12 record and in third place in Big East regular-season standings. Brey said contract extension talks started last summer, but were put on hold during the season. Brey compared the confidence that the university has given him with the contract to the confidence he tries to instill in his players. “That gives me confidence as a coach. I think it makes you more fearless as a coach. Our profession is not the most secure. But when youknowthatyouhavethatkindof support, I think you want to go for it even more,” he said. Since arriving at Notre Dame, Brey has turned around a program that hadn’t reached the NCAA tournament in 10 years. In his 12 seasons with the Irish, Brey’s teams have earned tournament bids eight times. With three Big East coach of the tear awards, Brey is fifth overall in all-time league wins with a 133-89 record.

Secretariat getting faster The Associated Press

BALTIMORE — Secretariat’s winning time in the 1973 Preakness has been changed to reflect that the Triple Crown-winning colt’s time was actually faster than the stakes record. The Maryland Racing Commission voted 7-0 on Tuesday in a special hearing at Laurel Park to change the official time of the race from 1:542⁄5 to 1:53. That gives Secretariat records in each of his three Triple Crown races — the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes — that still stand. The commission investigated the official timing of the Preakness at the request of Secretariat’s 90-year-old owner, Penny Chenery, and Pimlico president Tom Chuckas. The commission heard more than two hours of testimony, backed by modern technology, to prove Secretariat’s time was actually faster than the Preakness record of 1:532⁄5, set by Tank’s Prospect in 1985 and equaled by Louis Quatorze in 1996 and Curlin in 2007. The electronic timer in use at Pimlico for the 1973 Preakness recorded a winning time of 1:55. However, the clocking differed from two independent clockers from the Daily Racing Form who had each hand-timed the race at a much faster 1:532⁄5.

England’s Wayne Rooney scores the opening goal during a Euro 2012 Group D match between England and Ukraine in Donetsk, Ukraine, on Tuesday.

Brits advance to quarters The Associated Press

DONETSK, Ukraine — Wayne Rooney returned from suspension Tuesday and scored on a header in the 48th minute to give England a 1-0 victory over Ukraine and a spot in the European Championship quarterfinals. England won Group D and will next face Italy in Kiev on Sunday. Ukraine appeared to have evened the score in the 62nd minute when Marko Devic’s looping shot crossed the line before it was hooked clear by John Terry. But the goal was missed by the referee and his extra assistant behind the goal. The disputed play will likely add to the pressure on UEFA President Michel Platini to reverse his opposition to goalline technology. “I was sad because the ball was in the goal by one meter,” Ukraine coach Oleg Blokhin said. Rooney, who sat out his team’s first two matches at Euro 2012, returned from suspension Tuesday and headed in

Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored one of the best goals of the tournament with an acrobatic volley in the 54th minute and Sebastian Larsson added an injury-time goal to give already eliminated Sweden its first points of the tournament. The margin of victory could have been bigger as France was outplayed for much of the game despite only needing a draw to guarantee a spot in the next round and facing a team with nothing to play for but pride. The loss ended France’s 23-game unbeaten streak but it still finished second in Group D after England beat Ukraine 1-0 in Donetsk. France will face Spain in the quarterfinals but will need a much better performance to give the defending champions much of a challenge. England finished with seven Sweden 2, France 0 points, while France had four KIEV, Ukraine — France and Ukraine and Sweden bowbacked into the quarterfinals of ed out with three each. the European Championship on France looked lackluster Tuesday, losing 2-0 to Sweden throughout much of the game but going through thanks to and couldn’t finish when it did threaten the Swedish goal.

the goal in the 48th. Steven Gerrard whipped a dangerous cross into the penalty area that went past two defenders before Pyatov let it slip through his hands as he crouched to collect the ball. Rooney was at the far post and put England ahead. It was Rooney’s first goal at a major tournament since scoring four at Euro 2004 as an 18-year-old kid. He failed to find the net at both the 2006 and 2010 World Cups. With the victory, England won Group D and will next face Italy in Kiev on Sunday. France also advanced, despite losing to Sweden 2-0 in the other group match. Ukraine, however, will have to watch the rest of the tournament as spectators, just like co-host Poland.

NEW YORK — Former New Orleans defensive end Anthony Hargrove says it’s not his voice saying “Give me the money” in a video used by the NFL as evidence in its investigation of the Saints’ bounty program. A day after Hargrove and three of his ex-teammates made appeals of their suspensions at NFL headquarters, he returned to the sidewalk outside the league offices Tuesday for an informal news conference. As curious passers-by huddled around, Hargrove read a 13-minute statement, making references to Bill Clinton and the Mona Lisa and often sounding like a colorful defense attorney giving a closing argument. “I’ve never offered nor received money to intentionally hurt a player,” Hargrove said. On Monday, the NFL showed reporters a clip from the 2010 NFC championship game in which Hargrove purportedly made the “money” comment about injuring then-Vikings quarterback Brett Favre. Hargrove insisted it was someone else uttering those words, though he said he didn’t know who. Hargrove was flagged and subsequently fined $5,000 for a flagrant hit on Favre, who returned to the game. “This happens,” Hargrove said, looking into the TV cameras. “Brett, I’m truly sorry.” Hargrove, now with Green Bay, has been suspended for eight games. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said: “We stand by the findings of our investigation.”

Green Bay Packers defensive end Anthony Hargrove speaks to the media Tuesday in New York.

On Monday, Hargrove, Will Smith, Scott Fujita and Jonathan Vilma attended appeals hearings with Commissioner Roger Goodell. After the sessions, the NFL presented the same evidence it showed the players to reporters. The Hargrove clip was part of that. An NFL investigation found that former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams ran a system from 2009 through last season under which New Orleans players received cash bonuses for hits that knocked specific opponents out of games. Wearing a backward baseball cap and a white T-shirt, Hargrove called NFL officials “master politicians,” making an analogy to Clinton’s use of semantics when he said, “I did not have sexual relations with that woman.” And just as the Mona Lisa does not appear to smiling unless you look close enough, Hargrove declared, the league’s evidence does not hold up to closer scrutiny.

Penguins’ GM Shero has plan to sign center Staal By JOSH YOHE The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review

Penguins general manager Ray Shero admitted today that numerous teams have inquired about the availability of center Jordan Staal. Shero’s reply is simple: Staal isn’t available. Despite steady speculation all summer that Staal could be traded this summer, Shero will attempt to sign the center to a long-term contract. “You can’t have it both ways,” he said. “I can’t try to negotiate a contract with Jordan and a trade with another team at the same time. It doesn’t work that way. We don’t want to trade Jordan. We think we can sign him, and we’re going to try.” Shero had a positive meeting with Staal after the Penguins were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by Philadelphia. “He told me he likes it here,” Shero said. “Told me he wants to stay, that he likes Pittsburgh and likes being a Penguin.” Staal has one year remaining on a contract that pays him $4 million annually. Should he not sign an extension, he will be-

come a free agent next summer. Shero and Staal’s agent have had “general discussions” about a new

deal. The field of teams asking about Staal, who is getting married on Friday, has been steady. “People read the newspapers and so maybe they think he’s available,” Shero said. “That stuff is all speculation. I have made it clear to every team that has asked. I don’t want to trade Jordan. I’m not listening to offers. I want Jordan here. I want him here for a long time, and that’s what I’m going to try to do.” Shero also commented on recent speculation that an extension for center Sidney Crosby is nearly done. “We have had general discussions,” Shero said. Shero said a decison whether to bring back free agents Steve Sullivan and Arron Asham won’t be made until next week.

No decision on Shelbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final wishes

After light party, Junior focused on Sonoma

A champion during the Harveys Lake races, the car master remains in morgue.

By JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

By NOMAAN MERCHANT Associated Press Writer

DALLAS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The body of celebrated auto designer and race car driver Carroll Shelby, who died more than a month ago, could remain in a Dallas morgue for several more weeks while his family fights about burial plans, his sons said Tuesday. Shelbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three children say their father, who died May 10 in a Dallas hospital, signed a document in February giving them permission to have his body cremated. His wife, Cleo Shelby, who lives in California, alleges the signature on that directive is a forgery. She says a document signed two years ago gives her power of attorney in Shelbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s affairs. Shelbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son Michael Shelby told The Associated Press on Tuesday that several witnesses watched his father sign the paperwork in February and â&#x20AC;&#x153;there was absolutely no wayâ&#x20AC;? Cleo Shelby could substantiate her claims. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wishes versus the wife,â&#x20AC;? Michael Shelby said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s his written wishes versus Cleo Shelby.â&#x20AC;? Both sides have filed documents in a lawsuit pending in Dallas County court. In the meantime, Shelbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body remains in the custody of the Dallas medical examinerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. Arguably the most famous race car driver of his time, Shelby raced to a first-place finish at the Giants Despair Hillclimb in Laurel Run on July 20, 1956, before taking the checkered flag at the long-defunct Brynfan Tyddyn in Harveys Lake the next day.

After four-year drought was erased, Earnhardt simply looking to upcoming race.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Turns out the victory party for Dale Earnhardt Jr. wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much of a party at all. Earnhardt snapped a 143race winless streak at Michigan International Speedway, then celebrated at home in North Carolina with friends and family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was good, we went home and some of the family and my friends were there, and we just stood around and talked about the win,â&#x20AC;? Earnhardt said Tuesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We played some music, it was a pretty good time.â&#x20AC;? It was hardly the wild party people expected from NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most popular driver, who was unaware of reports the nightclub he owns in downtown Charlotte gave away free drinks for an hour after Sunday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cool,â&#x20AC;? he said, laughing. Next up for Earnhardt was his first celebration at Hendrick Motorsports since the organization began marking wins with the ringing of a victory bell throughout the shop. Earnhardt has been with Hendrick since 2008, when he

won his only other race with the team â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at Michigan four years to the day of Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victory. He said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never been present when any of his teammates rang the bell. Once thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s over, it will be full focus on Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race at Sonoma Raceway, where Earnhardt has always struggled. In 12 career starts, his average finish is 22.2 and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s led just nine laps on the winding road course. His career best finish is 11th, done three times. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s set modest goals for this weekend with crew chief Steve Letarte, and is anxious to get on with his summer with return trips to Daytona, Pocono and Michigan looming ahead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve kind of got to reel it in a little bit because of Sonoma, I ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t never had a top 10 there,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told Steve, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s try to go get a top-10, if thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first place or ninth place or whatever, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just concentrate on going there to get a personal best. And then I think we can move on from that, whatever that result may be.â&#x20AC;? But, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a part of Earnhardt who isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ready to write off a good day at Sonoma just yet. Statistically, the start of his season is one of his best ever in the Sprint Cup Series. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only driver to complete every lap, and leads the series with 12 top-10s through 15 races. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are stats Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not used to bragging about,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I

Earnhardt has never won a Cup title, and hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t challenged for one since his six-win season in 2004, which he considers the strongest year of his career. He laughed Tuesday at the sudden buzz over his title chances, which have been validated since Sunday by everyone from current points leader Matt Kenseth to NASCAR president Mike Helton. Earnhardt believes heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have his hands full with defending champion Tony Stewart, ASSOCIATED PRESS teammate Jimmie Johnson, and Roush Fenway Racing drivers Dale Earnhardt Jr. lifts the trophy Sunday after winning the NASKenseth and Greg Biffle.

Database to track card gripes

B R I E F

Air Products makes buy

Air Products & Chemicals Inc. is buying a majority stake in Chilean industrial gas company Indura SA for $884 million. Air Products, which sells specialty gases and equipment to industrial and commercial clients, said Tuesday that the buyout will strengthen its presence in South America and add to its earnings per share in fiscal 2013. Indura, which is based in Santiago, Chile, has more than 20 plants and more than 2,300 workers, with $478 million in annual revenue. About 200 people work at Air Products’ Hanover Township plant making heat exchangers and other equipment used in the manufacture of industrial gases.

WASHINGTON -- The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is launching a database that tracks which large banks have had the most complaints about their credit cards and how they were resolved -- information some industry trade groups don’t want made public. The goal of the searchable database is to provide more information to consumers, businesses and advocacy groups about an important financial product, said Richard Cordray, the CHECK agency’s direc- IT OUT tor. It will be limited at first Visit the new to credit card credit card complaints re- complaint ceived since database at June 1 for banks http:/// www.consuwith more than merfinance$10 billion in .gov assets. The beta version of the Consumer Complaint Database was made available Tuesday at the agency’s website. The goal is to expand it by year’s end to include more of the thousands of credit card complaints for large banks the agency has received since it opened in July, Cordray said. Eventually the agency wants the database to include complaints about mortgages and other financial products. But some financial industry trade groups have opposed making the database information public. The American Bankers Association said it would be a public "outing" of a bank’s relationship with its customers based on "incomplete, unrepresentative and unverified" data. Ed Mierzwinski, consumer program director for the U.S. Public Interest Research Group, said the database will help customers level the playing field with powerful companies. "Nobody wants to be first on this list, so that means companies will improve their complaint handling, improve their responsiveness," he said. The most common complaints about credit cards have been about billing disputes. Credit card companies have responded to 94 percent of the complaints sent to them. Consumers have disputed 16 percent of the company responses.

Pullback in job openings

U.S. employers in April advertised the fewest available jobs in five months, a sign hiring will likely remain sluggish. Openings fell to a seasonally adjusted 3.4 million in April, down from 3.7 million in March, the government said Tuesday. With 12.5 million unemployed people in April, that means 3.7 people, on average, were competing for each open job. In a healthy job market, the ratio is usually around 2 to 1.

Housing news upbeat

FedEx sees slowdown

U.S. builders start more homes for single families

FedEx Corp. said Tuesday that slow global economic growth will crimp its earnings over the next 12 months. The company vowed to make significant cost cuts to counter any drop in package shipments. The world’s second-largest package delivery company forecast moderate growth for both the U.S. and global economies, citing the debt crisis in Europe and slowing growth in Asia. The company’s forecast for the first quarter and fiscal year fell below Wall Street’s expectations.

ASHINGTON — U.S. builders started work on more singlefamily homes in May and requested the most permits to build homes and apartments in three and a half years. The increase suggests the housing market is slowly recovering even as other areas of the economy have weakened. The Commerce Department said Tuesday that builders broke ground on 3.2 percent more single-family homes in May, the third straight monthly increase. Overall housing starts fell 4.8 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted an-

Walgreen buys in Europe

Walgreen Co. said Tuesday that it has agreed to buy a 45 percent stake in Alliance Boots, a European retail pharmacy chain, for $6.7 billion, in a cash and stock transaction that will create the world’s largest drugstore chain with more than 11,000 stores in 12 countries. The deal, which represents Walgreen’s first international expansion, is expected to close Sept. 1, and includes an option for Walgreen to take full control of Alliance Boots in three years.

The software maker said Monday that its device will attach to a removable rubberized keyboard that also acts like a book cover.

Even with the gains, the rate of construction and the level of permits requested remain roughly half the pace considered healthy. Yet the increases add to other signs that the home market may finally be starting to recover nearly five years after the housing bubble burst. Builders have grown more confident since last fall, in part because more people are expressing an interest in buying a home. Cheaper mortgages and lower home prices in many markets have made home buying more attractive. Many economists believe that housing construction could contribute to overall economic growth this year for the first time since 2005.

nual rate of 708,000. But that was entirely because of a 21.3 percent plunge in apartment construction, which can be volatile from month to month. The government also said April was much better for housing starts than first thought. The government revised the April starts to 744,000 — up from an initially reported 717,000 and the fastest building pace since October 2008. And builders are more optimistic about the next 12 months. They requested more permits to build homes, a gauge of future construction. Permits increased to a seasonally adjusted rate of 780,000 — the most since September 2008.

With the economic recession slowly winding down and with high unstable gas prices, the Luzerne County Transportation Authority (LCTA) announced today that it will join with other public transportation systems through Pennsylvania and the nation to participate in the seventh annual “Dump the Pump Day” on Thursday, June 21st. The slogan of this year’s National Dump the Pump Day is “Dump The Pump, Save Money, Ride Transit.”

Sponsored by the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) in cooperation with the Pennsylvania Public Transportation Association (PPTA) the 2012 National Dump the Pump Day is a day that encourages people to ride public transportation and save money, instead of driving a car. Started in June, 2006 when gas prices were $3.00 per gallon, this national day emphasizes that public transportation is a great travel option that also helps people save money. Beyond the economic beneﬁts we can also reduce our dependence on foreign oil, protect our environment, and enhance our quality of life.

Be prepared! Today will be the hottest day we’ve had around here since July 22 of last year. The high will probably max out just shy of the record high of 95 set back in 1953. Skies will remain sunny into the evening without any storms. With the dew point up near 70, the air will feel “thick and heavy,” so just take it easy and avoid running in any marathons. Thursday will be similar to today and again just shy of the record of 96. A cold front will arrive on Friday with some showers for our thirsty gardens. Then the weather looks great for Riverfest this weekend, with sunshine and less humidity.

“Public transportation has an important role to play in the energy and environmental debate,” Mr. Stanley Strelish, Executive Director, stated. “If you leave your car behind to take the LCTA transportation network, you will be helping to reduce America’s dependence on oil, and aid in the combat of climate change.”

FLY NONSTOP AT LOW-LOW FARES FROM WILKES-BARRE/SCRANTON TO ORLANDO/SANFORD

The LCTA, as do all public transporation systems, plays a significant role in finding smart solutions to the challenges facing America today. “The Luzerne County Transportation Authority has invested in environmentally friendly vehicles such as the eight (8) diesel-electric hybrids already in service and seven (7) more diesel-electric buses to be placed in service in December. The hybrids can be up to 40% more efficient than conventional diesel buses. We’re doing our part; please help our country by doing your part. Try the bus on Dump the Pump Day” said Mr. Strelish. “By participating in Dump the Pump Day, we hope people who have never used the LCTA system will decide to give us a try instead of driving their car,” said Mr. Strelish. “We’ll be welcoming new riders, and thanking our regular riders as we offer this special service on national Dump the Pump Day.” On Thursday, June 21st, as you board the bus you will be given a “FREE” One Day Pass. The pass is good for unlimited use all day (Dump the Pump Day) for all schedule routes in the LCTA service system. “With high, unstable gas prices, now is the time to save money and ride public transportation,” said Mr. Strelish. “Try us, you may like the quiet, comfortable, relaxing ride in one of our new hybrid buses, deciding to use the LCTA system more often; leaving your car home.”

Barramundi bursts with Aussie flavor

Among the many meats you’ll find at Alpine Wurst & Meat Haus are weisswurst, krainerwurst, kielbasa, blood-and-tongue sausage and headcheese.

Old Country charm

Alpine delivers authentic German flavor By MARY THERESE BIEBEL mbiebel@timesleader.com

our smiling server wears a traditional dirndl with a laced bodice, the smokehouses on the property came from Germany, and the owner, who studied butchering in Leipzig, is proud of the bratwurst, knockwurst, bauernwurst and about 80 other sausages and meats he sells. When you enter the Alpine Wurst & Meat Haus on Route 6 outside of Honesdale, you’re fairly close to Lake Wallenpaupack, but you feel as if you’re somewhere between the Rhine and the Danube.

The Alpine, with its extensive menu of sweet dishes such as black forest cake and sour dishes such as the sauerbraten that soaks in a vinegar sauce for at least a week, does have a feeling of the Old Country, long-time customer Amy Erlwein said. “I’m a farmer, and I grow a lot of my own meat. When I run out, this is the only place I come,” said Erlwein, who drove about 30 miles from Jeffersonville, N.Y., to peruse the Alpine’s showcase of fresh meats and shelves of ethnic groceries on a recent Wednesday. A young grandchild who accompanied Erlwein enjoyed a lunch of chicken fingers, and you will find several such all-American dishes on the restaurant’s menu, from tuna salad to fish and chips to a buffalo burger. But the Alpine also is a place where you can sample herring in

NEED A TRANSLATOR Bratwurst: A sausage that, at the Alpine, is made from pork and veal. Kassler Rippchen: Smoked pork chops. Knockwurst: At the Alpine, it’s a sausage made from beef and pork, and it’s thicker than the bratwurst. Lebkuchen: A gingerbread-like treat Sauerbraten: Roast beef marinated, usually for days, in vinegar and spices. Sauerkraut: Literally, sour cabbage. Stollen: A fruitcake often served during winter holidays. Weisswurst: Literally “white sausage,” the Alpine version is made from veal and pork and is very mild. Wiener Schnitzel: Traditionally, a lightly breaded veal cutlet. Wiener means it’s in the style of Vienna, and “schnitzel” means it’s cut into pieces.

Beef Rouladen is thinly sliced, seasoned with mustard and rolled around pickles and onions.

cream sauce, Kassler Rippchen (smoked pork chops), Beef Rouladen (beef rolled around pickles), or Jaeger Schnitzel (breaded pork cutlet in mushroom gravy). So why not be adventuresome, because how often do you get to visit the Alps? One of the most popular menu items here is Wiener Schnitzel, (a hand-breaded veal cutlet, fried to

golden brown) which sounds like one of Maria’s favorite things in “The Sound of Music,” especially if you order schnitzel with noodles. For a taste of Bavaria or the Rhineland or Thuringia at home, you can buy dumpling mixes, dried noodles called spaetzle, a variety of mustards, sauerkraut and red cabSee TASTEBUDS, Page 3C

Serves 4 4 thin slices top round of beef 1 chopped tomato 6 slices bacon, chopped and cooked 1 onion, sliced and cooked 2 German pickles, sliced lengthwise into quarters 2 tablespoons mustard. Lay out slices of beef. Salt and pepper each slice on each side, to preference. Spoon mustard onto beef. Divide the rest of the ingredients into four portions and arrange them on top of the beef. Roll beef slices tightly. Bake at 300 degrees for an hour and a half. Serve over spaetzle, or noodles.

HELLO CHEF’S Corner Readers. One of my most favorite jobs here at Vanderlyn’s is that of “Taste Tester!” As you all know, I’m not the creative one in the kitchen preparing all of our wonderful dishes. But, I do love to eat and I never turn down a chance to sample a new creation. I have to share this dish with you since the main ingredient originates from a place I haven’t been to yet, but would like to visit. This entrée is called Barramundi Scallop Sambuca. It is a firm, yet light and mild fish which comes from Australia. Chef John has accented the dish with scallops and a very appealing Sambuca sauce. In doing some research about Australia, I learned that Aussies love Barramundi and prepare it every way imaginable. Maybe if I ever get a chance to go “down under and meet some new mates,” I’ll trade them this recipe for one of theirs! If you would rather sit back, relax and enjoy this great dish, we’ll prepare and serve it to you. We will be featuring the Barramundi Scallop Sambuca at Vanderlyn’s Restaurant beginning today through the weekend. For reservations or additional features call Vanderlyn’s at 2836260.

OUR REPORTER RECOMMENDS Wiener Schnitzel: Meat-lovers, you owe it to yourself to try this. Bratwurst: Sausage fans, ditto. Schokolade: For snacking later on, pick out a Ritter Sport chocolate bar from the grocery section at the Alpine Wurst & Meat Haus.

bage and imported candy. The grocery adjacent to the restaurant also offers locally made artisan cheeses, freshly baked bread and all sorts of meat – from steaks and hams to dried beef jerky. So, do you need sausages for your grill this summer? The Alpine has bratwursts (here they’re a blend of pork and veal, seasoned with fresh chives, leeks and celery), kielbasa and the similarly spicy krainerwurst, flavored with black pepper and garlic; weisswurst, flavored with chives and lemon; and bauernwurst, flavored with mustard seeds. Wurst, if you haven’t guessed by now, means “sausage” in German. At the Alpine you’ll also find

such old-fashioned specialties as headcheese (not a milk-product cheese but a luncheon meat made from pork and seasonings) and blood-and-tongue sausage (a traditional sausage made of pork tongues and beef blood, mildly seasoned.) “Tastes are changing,” owner Mark Eifert said, explaining it’s mostly older folks who ask for those last two items. He prefers the bratwursts himself but takes pride in crafting all his meats, which come from animals raised in Lancaster County, the Dakotas and upstate New York. Eager to maintain traditions, Eifert studied the craft of butchering at the same institute in Leipzig, Germany, where his father trained. His parents, Klaus and Ingrid Eifert, established the Alpine in 1977. Since then it’s become known as a place to go for Oktoberfests (outdoors, under a tent,

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20, 2012 PAGE 7C

Happily remarried gay man wants to make contact with his ex-wife Dear Abby: I married “Linda” 22 years ago. Three years later, the marriage was over. After our divorce, I came out as gay. I met a wonderful man in 1996, and we were married in Iowa in 2009. Over the years, I have wondered how Linda was getting along. I’d like to get back in touch with her. Family members discouraged me from attempting to contact her after our split. I heard a few weeks ago that Linda has remarried, although I’m not sure how long ago. Obviously, I have no desire to rekindle a romance. I’m happily married and assume she is, too. I would

DEAR ABBY ADVICE like to talk with her, but I don’t know if it would be a mistake. What do you think? — Linda’s Ex in Council Bluffs Dear Ex: Before reaching out you need to ask yourself what you would gain by making contact, and equally important, what Linda would gain. If she blamed herself for the failure of the marriage, contact with you might be reassuring. If you realized your true sexual orientation only after the divorce, then telling her might relieve any guilt you have about it. But only you can make this decision.

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

Dear Abby: I am writing to protest something that has made shopping frustrating. I’m referring to rude people who cut in ahead of customers who have been standing in line when the clerk calls out, “Next, please.” I place the responsibility solely on store management to ensure that lines move smoothly and fairly. Stores that have such arrangements are more likely to get my business. I have seen too many weak salespeople accept whoever rushes forward first. I’m sure that many other readers have experienced the same frustration I have. If you print this, I promise I will copy it and send it to the store management where I’ve had these experiences. Abby, this would make shopping more pleasant for everyone. — Average Shopper, Oakland, Calif.

CRYPTOQUOTE

Dear Average Shopper: Unfortunately, most cashiers are usually so preoccupied with ringing up or scanning and bagging the purchases that they can’t concern themselves with the occasional line-jumper. Therefore, it’s up to YOU to assert yourself by saying firmly, “Excuse me, but I was next in line” when someone steps in front of you. Dear Abby: My husband is undergoing a yearlong cancer treatment. Recently, his brother told him he had two friends who have died of the same cancer that he has. My husband, who is already depressed from the medication he’s on, became even more depressed. One day, we ran into another friend of ours, who shared in great detail her

nephew’s long and traumatic battle with cancer. When she left we felt shattered. Abby, please remind people to be sensitive to those who are dealing with an illness and to refrain from sharing horror stories. We need hope and encouragement. — Disgusted in Phoenix Dear Disgusted: I’m glad to help you spread your commonsense message. All it takes is a moment to THINK before you speak. To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, selfaddressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Follow the muses, listening intently to all they whisper in your ear. Befriending your inspiration is important. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you were asked to describe your life, only happier, how would that look? You’ll feel compelled to make the adjustments that point you in a joyful direction. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Some questions show kind interest in what another person is up to. Other questions feel more like prying and can be defused with vague, noncommittal answers. You have a right to your privacy. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The one in charge isn’t perfect and, in fact, may do rather annoying things today. It would be unwise to draw attention to any breach of the rules. It takes self-control to show deference to authority. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Happiness is not automatically granted to you; rather, it’s a choice you sometimes have to work a bit to accomplish. Emotional work doesn’t look like other kinds of work, but it’s just as strenuous as physical endeavors. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Distance has a way of warping perception. You may think life is moving fast, but to another person who is very far away, your progress seems minimal. The most accurate judge is someone close to you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There are tantalizing offers out there, but they won’t be readily passed out to everyone who looks in need of an opportunity. Only the seekers who take action will be rewarded.

MINUTE MAZE JUMBLE BY MICHEAL ARGIRION & JEFF KNUREK

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

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The one who drifts in and out of focus when it’s your turn to get attention can be invalidating to your spirit. You offer excellent attention and should expect the same from others. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When there’s a question of who will go first, your trailblazing nature has you boldly moving forward. It’s like you were designed for adventure. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Not everything has to be a group affair, and you definitely need your alone time. But meals shared with loved ones offer a precious opportunity to feel like a part of a group. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The rules get somewhat iffy, and much will be left to your own judgment. One way to check yourself is to ask, “What would this scene be like if everyone were doing as I’m doing?” PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Once you come to a conclusion, accept it and go forward. Try not to doubt or overanalyze yourself, because you’ll waste valuable time and energy that could be spent in creating momentum. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 20). Love grows, and you become increasingly attracted to the one you spend the most time with this year. July brings an exciting trip. September is your chance to shine and share your knowledge, too. You’ll land a deal in November and finish the year out in style. February brings family additions. Cancer and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 29, 31, 44 and 19.
