Paraplegic found dead in apartment By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

PITTSTON – A disabled man was found dead by firefighters who were battling a blaze at a three-story apartment building on Main Street early Wednesday morning. The body of Bernard Edwards, 55, a paraplegic, was found in the rear of his first-floor apartment at 194 Main St. An autopsy is scheduled on Fri-

day. Firefighters responded to the blaze just before 1 a.m. and found heavy fire and smoke coming from Edwards’ apartment. Two families, each with five people residing on the second and third floors, managed to escape. Building owner Tony Zambetti said one of his tenants tried to rescue Edwards but was unable to get inside

due to heavy smoke and heat. “He said he was only able to get in 2 feet; the smoke and heat were just too much for him,” Zambetti said. “It’s too bad. Bernie was a good guy. He got around even with his disability.” Zambetti said Edwards had a ramp installed in the apartment that alSee FIRE, Page 12A

BELLEFONTE — The defense in Jerry Sandusky’s child sex abuse trial rested on its third day Wednesday without calling the former Penn State assistant coach to dispute charges that he molested boys at his home and on campus over more than a decade. Closing arguments were set for today in the case that led to Sandusky the dismissal of Hall of Fame football coach Joe Paterno, the ouster of the university president and a re-examination of college administrators’ role in reporting abuse charges. The defense called only four new witnesses Wednesday, including a physician who they used to try and poke holes in the story of a Penn State coaching assistant who testified that he saw Sandusky sexually assault a boy in the campus showers more than a decade ago. The defense’s case has consisted of character witnesses who defended Sandusky’s reputation, a psychologist who said Sandusky had a personality disorder and the ex-coach’s wife, who said she did not see her husband do anything inappropriate with the accusers. His lawyers showed that an investigator had shared information with an accuser about other alleged victims’ stories and repeatedly suggested that accusers have financial motivations for their claims.

Sterling Annex gets a boost Report: Charter schools

cost Pa. $315M too much

Corp. owned by Bear Creek Village man aims to convert building into housing units.

Auditor General says state’s funding system is flawed for charter, cyber charter schools.

By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

As the Hotel Sterling in downtown Wilkes-Barre nears likely demolition, a century-old annex next door will be saved and used for housing. A corporation owned by Bear Creek Village resident George Asimakapolous purchased the four-story brick Hotel Sterling Annex from the Greater WilkesBarre Chamber of Business and Industry for $215,000 last month, county records show. The buyer, G2A-B Realty LLC, plans to renovate the structure to create housing units, according to city officials. Asimakapolous was not available for comment Wednesday. The chamber bought the annex for $125,000 in 2004 to ensure it was preserved, possibly for a museum or art gallery. Chamber Vice President Lar-

The former Sterling Annex on North River Street has been purchased with plans to turn it into housing units.

ry Newman said the organization supports the building’s reuse for housing because downtown dwellers are important to revitalization. “This continues what has been a trend of market rate housing units being developed in the city’s downtown,” Newman said. Twenty of 21 loft units above the downtown theater complex on Main Street were purchased

and occupied, he said. Sam Johnson of Weatherly has converted a century-old bank building at South Main and Ross streets into a 16-unit complex, and the addition of housing on an upper floor of the Luzerne Bank building on Public Square is near completion, he said.

HARRISBURG -- Pennsylvania could save $315 million by altering a flawed funding system that allows charter and cyber charter schools to receive overly generous payments, state Auditor General Jack Wagner said in special report released Wednesday. The report is critical of a funding formula that is based on the per-student cost to educate a student in each individual district, instead of the actual cost incurred by the charter schools, which maintain physical buildings, and cyber charters, which educate students at home via computer. Wagner’s investigation found Pennsylvania charter schools spent an average of $13,411 per

student, compared to a national average of about $10,000, while the cyber charters spent an average of $10,145, compared to the national average of $6,500. If the state were closer to the national average, it would save roughly $315 million in education costs, Wagner concluded. “Pennsylvania’s flawed and overly generous funding formula for charter and cyber charter schools is a luxury taxpayers can no longer afford,” Wagner said in a press release. Ken Kilpatrick, a spokesman for the Pennsylvania Coalition of Public Charter Schools, said Wagner’s report was “one-sided.” Source of contention Kilpatrick said charter school officials also are unhappy with the funding formula. They support a bill now pending in the House Education Committee that would form a commission to See CHARTER, Page 12A

Wyoming Valley West ups taxes By SUSAN DENNEY Times Leader Correspondent

KINGSTON – Taxes will go up for Wyoming Valley West School District property owners under the $63.4 million 2012-2013 budget, which the school board adopted Wednesday night. The property tax rate will increase from the present 13.5 mills to 13.82 mills. A mill equals $1 of tax for each $1,000 of assessed value. Joe Rodriguez, the district’s business manager, said the new millage will equate to a $28 to $30 tax increase for the average taxpayer in the district. In another matter, resident Carol L. Seltzer, 84, of Forty Fort, asked about two memorial trees that were removed from the property of the Dana Street Ele-

mentary School. She said the school board had promised to replace them. Seltzer said hot weather is not an appropriate time to plant new trees, but she wanted to make sure that they are replaced. “I speak for the trees,” she said. Board President John Gill assured Seltzer appropriate action would be taken. Representatives from the SchoolBased Behavioral Health Team program asked for the support of board members. The program can be provided at no cost to the district and will provide services to 25 students with severe emotional and/or behavioral problems. The SBBH program will provide a team of staff members at the State Street School. According to the representative,

pshitut@timesleader.com

the team will become part of the school. The team will provide support for students in small groups or one-on-one as needed. Team members will also provide 24-hour services for students in crisis. “I’m totally supportive of this program. It’s a win-win situation,” Superintendent Charles Suppon said. Board members agreed to provide a formal letter of support for the SBBH program. In other business, Holly Pick was appointed the chair of the middle school English department. The board also appointed coaching staff for the 2012-13 school year. Information about those appointments appears in today’s sports section.

Project sparks heated debate Yard sale

DALLAS BOROUGH

By TOM HUNTINGTON Times Leader Correspondent

SHICKSHINNY – The proposed Crary Park project produced a heated debate between Councilman Mike Steeber and Mayor Beverly Moore at a special council meeting on Wednesday night. Steeber clashed with Moore over the use of “any tax money” for the endeavor, which Moore is attempting to rejuvenate after the recent bid process exceeded budget. Moore said she has had discussions with the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources to create a new bid package. Overall, she argued that a DCNR grant of $356,000 has been budgeted and, as such, there is no intent to use tax funds. But Steeber contended that after a boat launching area, lighting, parking lot and recreational areas have been developed, there still remains the mat-

ter of maintenance costs. “I want it known that I’m opposed to the use of tax money for this project,” he said. In stating his position, Steeber also cited the loss of revenue from housing that is destined for demolition under the current hazard mitigation program. Steeber said money is tight; council needs all it can get to fund routine community programs. The topic of the flood aftermath also came into focus when Borough Secretary-Treasurer Melissa Weber said people involved in the government buyout of their damaged residences can’t legally remove appliances, furniture and other household items because these items are part of the buyout program. It was stated that council is aware of some people trying to enter these houses to remove items after they have been sold. Weber said

this is not permissible under the law. It was suggested that windows and doors be nailed shut and no trespassing signs be posted as a means to curb problems. Another part of the flood recovery program is an announcement that Thomas Family Markets, which has other stores in the Luzerne and Wyoming counties, intends to move into a building that formerly housed the Five Mountain Markets. Part of the store space will be utilized for beer sales, it was stated in a letter from the law firm of Hourigan, Kluger and Quinn, who asked council to approve a resolution for the establishment of a liquor license at the premises. The resolution passed without opposition. Council also approved ordinances fulfilling no parking requests on West Union and Main Street for both Wells Fargo Bank and Keystone Community Bank.

Luke Galazin, 24, of Nanticoke, and Connie Mihalichko, 22, of Edwardsville, were handed over to Newport Township police, who had outstanding arrest warrants for the pair. Galazin and Mihalichko were arraigned by District Justice Donald Whittaker in Nanticoke on charges of theft, receiving stolen property and conspiracy.

COURT BRIEFS WILKES-BARRE – A city man sentenced earlier this month in a case in which prosecutors say he and four other men kidnapped and beat a woman over a several hour-period, will not have his six-to-12-year prison sentence reduced, a county judge said. Ronald Cottle, 36, was sentenced on a charge of criminal conspiracy to commit aggravated assault in a case in which prosecutors say Joan Rosengrant was punched, Tasered and had boiling water poured on her feet on Dec. 30, 2010, into Dec. 31, 2010. Cottle sought to have his sentence reduced due to a number of factors, including that some of his co-defendants received lesser sentences and that he pleaded guilty. Judge Tina Polachek Gartley, who sentenced Cottle, denied his request Wednesday to shorten his sentence.

NANTICOKE – Two men accused with stealing items from vehicles waived their right to preliminary hearings before District Judge Donald Whittaker on Wednesday. Jamar David Moore, 24, of Robert Street, and Maurice Johnson Jr., 32, of East Union Street, both in Nanticoke, waived charges of theft, receiving stolen property and loitering and prowling at night to Luzerne County Court. Police withdrew a second count of theft and receiving stolen property and possessing instruments of crime against Moore and Johnson. Police allege Moore, Johnson and Michael Buckley, 20, of East Washington Street, Nanticoke, were stealing items from vehicles on West Ridge, West Noble and South Hanover streets on May 17, according to the complaint. Buckley is charged with two counts each with theft and receiving stolen property and one count each with loitering and prowling at night and possessing instruments of crime. A preliminary hearing has not been scheduled for

permits may be required By SARAH HITE shite@timesleader.com

DALLAS – Council on Wednesday night authorized the advertisement of several ordinances to increase the safety of residents. One ordinance, which will be considered for adoption at the July 18 meeting, will require residents to obtain a permit to hold yard sales. Borough Manager Tracey Carr said an incident prompted the creation of the ordinance, but she declined to elaborate. She said there will be no fee to hold a yard sale, but there will be a two-peryear limit. Carr also said it will help the police department figure out where yard sales are being held to monitor traffic in those areas and ensure roads aren’t being blocked by stopped vehicles. Council will also consider ordinances that will set permitting requirements and other regulations for bring-your-own-bottlestyle restaurants and transient retail and wholesale businesses In other business, council approved resolutions to hang banners and close Main Street in association with the annual Dallas Harvest Festival, which will be on Sept. 16. Council also approved the following donations: $500 to the SPCA, $2,500 to the Back Mountain Memorial Library and $6,000 to Dallas Fire & Ambulance. Council also voted to contribute an amount not to exceed $1,700 to the DARE, or Drug Abuse Resistance Education, program in the Dallas School District. The program’s costs will be shared among the school district, Kingston Township, Franklin Township and Dallas Township. The next council meeting will be on July 18 at 7 p.m. in the municipal building.

Buckley. NANTICOKE – Charges of simple assault, harassment and disorderly conduct were dismissed against Richard Evans at a preliminary hearing on Wednesday. Plymouth police charged Evans, 47, of Nottingham Street, Plymouth, after Courtney Simoncavage reported he assaulted her on May 28, according to the criminal complaint. NANTICOKE – Two counts of simple assault and harassment were dismissed against Gregory Duclaire at a preliminary hearing on Wednesday. Plymouth police charged Duclaire, 28, no known address, after Tiffany Williams reported he assaulted her on April 20 and May 15, according to the criminal complaints. Duclaire waived to county court two counts of resisting arrest for allegedly eluding capture when police were chasing him after investigating the April 20 incident, the complaint says.

Reactor No. 1 shut down

Reactor No. 1 at PPL’s Susquehanna Steam Electric Station near Berwick was shut down Tuesday due to increased unidentified leakage inside the plant’s containment building, a Nuclear Regulatory Commission spokesman said on Wednesday. Once the unit was out of service, plant personnel determined the leakage was coming from a weld that attaches a 4-inch pipe to chemical decontamination equipment. After draining the line and connected piping, the weld will be repaired. The company will also need to check on similar piping, said Neil Sheehan, NRC spokesman. “Our two resident inspectors assigned to Susquehanna will continue to monitor the repair work and checks of similar piping. We will expect PPL to fully understand why the weld failed and successfully complete the repair and check activities prior to putting the unit back into service,” Sheehan said.

HOT! HOT! HOT!

The summer solstice was the area’s hottest day of the year, causing difficulty even for outdoor businesses that usually thrive in the summer heat. Diligently manning his Little Jimmy’s Italian Ice stand on Public Square in Wilkes-Barre, business owner Chris Paluch explained why customers were few and far between. “I think it’s too hot, so there’s not as much traffic,” he said. “It’s so hot that the water goes right out of your body.” A National Weather Service heat advisory warned outdoor workers like Paluch to guard against heat stroke by confining strenuous outdoor activities to the early morning or evening. But they persisted in their duties, in spite of a high of 92 degrees at the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport. The record of 95 degrees was set in 1953, according to the NWS.

The National Weather Service at Binghamton, N.Y., forecast another hot and humid day for today and some relief from the scorching heat on Friday. Today will be mostly sunny with highs in the mid 90s.

Last summer wasn’t nearly so busy because of the constant rain.” For Joe Lach, a musician from West Nanticoke purchasing flowers at Stanley’s tent, the heat was just another sign of the summer. “This time last year, I was playing in an Elvis tribute in Nanticoke’s public square,” he said. “The heat absolutely overwhelmed the performers. But that’s the joy of summer!” Bobby de Trafford, working at the Osterhout Free Library’s outdoor sale on South Frankin Street, did not greet the summer heat with Lach’s excitement. “By the evening, the air feels heavy and everything sticks to you.

WEST PITTSTON – Losing a six-figure-salary job as a sales representative, Gerald Fuller went on a robbery spree for money to pay bills, police in several municipalities allege. The reason given by Fuller, 39, during an arraignment on Wednesday apparently caught District Judge Joseph Carmody by surprise. When Carmody asked police if the alleged robberies were drugrelated, Fuller immediately spoke Fuller up saying, “No drugs.” “I drink a little more than I should have,” Fuller, of Bengar Drive, Scranton, said during the proceeding. “I just fell on hard times; I have a 5-year-old child and a wife who kicked me out.” Fuller did not say where he had worked, and police said after the proceeding they did not know. Fuller was arrested in Lackawanna County on Friday by Archbald police after they stopped a black Jeep Liberty suspected in a robbery at a Burger King in Eynon and at a gas station. Duryea police Chief Nicholas Lohman said the Jeep was key in solving a robbery at the Uni-Mart on Main Street, Duryea, and other robberies in the area since March. “All’s we had to go on was a black Jeep Liberty,” Lohman said. “We were looking for a Jeep Liberty, and in the newspaper it was reported Archbald police stopped a black Liberty.

The former First National Bank building, Public Square, Wilkes-Barre

Ex-bank fixup aims to attract developers By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Putting on a new roof and doing masonry on the former First National Bank is being planned to entice development proposals for the long-vacant Public Square building. Greg Barrouk, the city’s economic development director, said there will be a special city council meeting on June 28 to hire Quad 3 Group to prepare engineering and architectural drawings for the needed work. Barrouk said the city has state grant money that must be spent or be returned, and Quad 3 Group was the low bidder for the pre-construction work. “This is not a proposal to develop the building,” Barrouk said. “We want to stabilize it, secure it and make it safe for the public.” Barrouk said the city will use $134,536 in grant money that it received through the Economic Development Initiative. Barrouk said the city owns the building and received a total of $1,379,596 in state gaming funds over two years to complete its base restoration. The money was received in two installments – the first amount was $680,000 and the second, $699,596. The city hasn’t spent any of that money to date, Barrouk said. “The city intends to restore the building to create an attractive marketable asset in downtown WilkesBarre,” Barrouk said. “Any interested bidders in this property are asked to contact the city.” See EX-BANK, Page 4A

Guilty plea entered for many counts Boyfriend of Cara Asay, of Nanticoke, also pleads guilty to charges. By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A Nanticoke woman charged in a slew of crimes she allegedly committed, including breaking into the home of a deceased man and stealing items from another home while high on bath salts, pleaded guilty Wednesday to related charges. Cara Asay, 29, entered the plea to three counts of theft and one count each of retail theft, access device fraud, receiving stolen property and criminal conspiracy. Asay’s boyfriend, Bradley Everett, 27, also of Nanticoke, entered guilty pleas Wednesday to charges relating to some of Asay the crimes. Luzerne County Senior Judge Joseph Augello said the duo will be sentenced on July 19, when they may also enter guilty pleas to a burglary on Christmas Eve in Everett which police say they took items from a Newport Township home they later returned to area businesses for gift cards or cash. According to court papers, Asay’s spree began on Nov. 20 when she broke into the home of a Glen Lyon man who had died and took change, a spoon, a latex glove and three $1 bills. An officer said that while fingerprinting Asay, he noticed an infection in her arm. Asay was taken to Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center, where it was learned, according to court papers, that a broken needle tip was in her arm. Nine days later, police said Asay entered the Price Chopper in Edwardsville and tried to take $179 in merchandise. Police said Asay told them she intended to resell the items to get money to buy drugs. Police said that on Dec. 14, Asay and Everett were staying at a Penn Avenue, Exeter, home and stole $2,705 in items, including jewelry and several electronics. Two days later, police said, Asay and Everett were at the Turkey Hill in Exeter, where they removed a debit card from a woman, and used the card to make purchases of more than $300. On Dec. 18, police said, Asay entered the Family Dollar in Exeter and stole the wallet of a cashier who was working there. On Wednesday, Everett pleaded guilty to charges of criminal conspiracy and theft stemming from the Family Dollar incident and the incident at the Penn Avenue, Exeter, home. Asay and Everett, who are represented by attorney Allyson Kacmarski, were arraigned on June 13 in the Christmas Eve burglary and may tentatively enter guilty pleas at their July sentencing date, when they would also then be sentenced for that crime. Everett may also enter an additional guilty plea in the Dec. 16 debit card incident.

Arson suspect charged again Man charged in Plains Little League break-in and arson faces new burglary charge. By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

WEST PITTSTON – A man suspected of lighting a blaze that damaged the Plains Little League press box/concession stand was charged Wednesday with burglarizing a machine shop. West Wyoming police allege Brian Gashi, 39, forced his way into James Eagan & Sons on West Eighth Street on June 7 and stole 250 feet of MIG welding wire, cables, clamps and various tools. Police warned area scrap yards after the burglary to be suspicious of anyone trying to sell the welding wire. Gashi was arraigned by District Judge Joseph Carmody on charges of burglary, criminal trespass and theft. He was remanded to the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $20,000 bail on the latest criminal complaint. Gashi has been held at the county prison for lack of $100,000 bail since he was arrested by Plains Township po-

Assistant Fire Chief Erik Sowga said Price took about 60 bags containing approximately 188 pounds of aluminum cans with a recycling value of $94. Kingston Township police arrested Price after an officer allegedly recognized the man in the surveillance video as Price. Price was charged with theft by unlawful taking and faces a preliminary hearing before District Judge James Tupper on July 9 at 10 a.m. Sowga said the can drop has been an ongoing fundraiser for a decade, bringing in between $4,000 and $6,000 a year to the

ting the blaze to cover up the burglary, according to arrest records.

During Wednesday’s arraignment, Gashi apologized

all-volunteer department. The alleged thefts occurred between midnight and 2 a.m. on several days between May 28 and June 11. Sowga said department members noticed that fewer bags of cans than usual were in the 4-foot-high bin each morning. So the department’s board voted to spend $1,000 for the surveillance system. What they found on the recordings surprised them. “I was in shock,” Sowga said. “If you steal a bag or two, that’s bad. When you have a tool in the back of your truck you keep in there to do this, you’re no good.” He said that on some occasions, Price took every bag from the bin. Other times he would take only a few or leave some.

Sanderson said he and a group of other business people looked at purchasing the building more than 30 years ago to turn it into an office complex. He said that with the one-story building’s 40-foot high ceiling, it was not fiscally feasible to build a second floor. Leighton said Wednesday he is excited about the prospects that the building offers to the city. “There are a number of potential uses that will add value to a block that has already seen tremendous development,” Leighton said. “Coupled with the next phase of the Streetscape project, the bank building is an attractive development opportunity in the heart of a bustling entertainment, business and residential district.”

Vacant since early ’70s The building has been vacant since the early1970s and a tree grows on the roof. In 2010, James Burke, the man who brought the play “The Molly Maguires” to the musical stage, wanted to rent the building to open an anthracite museum. City Mayor Tom Leighton said he was supportive of the project but told Burke that he couldn’t commit a specific project because there were other interested developers. The structure was built in 1906 – the first building on Public Square, according to Burke. He said he and architect Don Sanderson planned to raise $600,000 to transform the building into a museum. Deadline approaching Barrouk said the city This would happen after the gaming funds were expended. has to spend the federal EDI money by fall of

for the burglary at the machine shop. “I apologize for whatever I did,” Gashi told Carmody. “I need help; I apologize.” Carmody advised Gashi to remain silent and said he will have an opportunity to speak at his preliminary hearing for the burglary at the machine shop, which is scheduled on June 27.

“He did it all in a minute, a minute and a half,” Sowga said. “He knew what he was doing was wrong.” At one point, Sowga said, the camera caught the alleged thief getting back into his truck when another vehicle drove by, then resumed stealing cans. The fact Price lives in the township doesn’t make it any easier to understand the thefts, Sowga said. “It doesn’t matter who it is or where he’s from, it’s very disheartening,” Sowga said. One thing he does know is the $1,000 surveillance system investment “paid itself off already” and he hopes the message gets out to discourage anyone else from attempting to pilfer from the fire company.

2012 and the initial deadline to spend the gaming funds is June 2013, but there is an option to extend that period on the state funds. However, the city intends to complete the base restoration project as early as possible to speed up the marketing time frame to find a potential developer. Contacted Wednesday in New Jersey, Burke said he wrote off the bank building site and said its continued deplorable condition is “an embarrassment” to the city. “It still has a plywood door,” Burke said. “It’s a disgrace.

The city applied for and received funding, but not one dime has been spent. Why is it taking so long?” Burke questioned Leighton’s claim that there are several parties interested in developing the site. “Where are they?” Burke asked. Burke has developed a relationship with King’s College to be the home of his Anthracite Heritage Foundation, having held several events there to celebrate the region’s mining history. He said more events are planned.

WILKES-BARRE – A Luzerne County judge on Wednesday denied a request to have two lawsuits thrown out that stem from a New Year’s Day slashing at a Nanticoke bar. Judge Thomas Burke turned away preliminary objections filed by Paul Halliday, named in the suit as a defendant along with his bar, the Prospect Street Café, and his attorney, Michael Yelen. Ricky Wells and Jennifer Mieczkowski allege the bar and Halliday were negligent the night they both were injured at the bar. Wells alleges he was beaten with a pool stick, while Mieczkowski says her face was slashed by an underage patron during the New Year’s Eve, 2010 incident. No criminal charges have yet been filed. Halliday said in his March filing the suits should be thrown out because the suits do not list an allegation that Halliday was “in possession or control” of the bar at the time of the incidents. “An owner of land is not liable for defective condition(s),” Halliday’s filing says. “(The suits) never allege (Halliday) acted in an individual capacity in regard to any cause of action.” Mieczkowski claims in her suit that the bar and Halliday were negligent for allowing inside a person who Mieczkowski claims injured her, despite the fact the person was under the legal drinking age, and that employees did nothing to stop the attack. Mieczkowski alleged a woman slashed her face after Mieczkowski went to the aid of a friend who fell off a bar stool. Wells alleges in his suit that he and Mieczkowski were at the tavern to pick up beer to take out when they saw some friends and decided to sit down with them and order a drink. Wells says he was assaulted outside the bar when he tried to intervene in the altercation involving Mieczkowski. Burke also rejected a request by Mieczkowski and Wells, who were seeking to prevent Halliday from requesting the lawsuits be thrown out because he didn’t file court papers on time to do so.

WASHINGTON — Setting up a potential constitutional confrontation, a Republican-controlled House panel voted Wednesday to cite Attorney General Eric Holder for contempt of Congress, just hours after President Barack Obama invoked executive privilege — for the first time — to withhold documents demanded by the committee. The party-line vote was 23-17 following hours of caustic debate. The controversy goes next to the full House, where Republican Speaker John Boehner said there would be a vote next week unless

there was some resolution in the meantime. Committee Chairman Darrell Issa of California said that “more than eight months after a subpoena” for the documents — which concern how the Justice Department learned there were problems with an Arizona probe of gunrunning into Mexico — Obama’s “untimely assertion” of executive privilege was no reason to delay the contempt

vote. No, it was just political, said Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, the committee’s ranking Democrat. He called the vote “an extreme, virtually unprecedented action based on election-year politics rather than fact.” The last Cabinet member to be cited by a congressional committee for contempt was Attorney General Janet Reno in President Bill Clinton’s administration. That was never brought to a follow-up vote in the full House. Whether Congress could force the Justice Department to turn over the documents is a basic question. In the Watergate case, the Supreme Court ordered President Richard Nixon to turn over taped conversations to a criminal prosecutor. But in the Nixon case, the

justices also found a constitutional basis for claims of executive privilege, leaving the door open for presidents to cite it in future clashes with Congress. In the administration’s claim of executive privilege, Deputy Attorney General James Cole said in a letter to Issa, “We regret that we have arrived at this point, after the many steps we have taken to address the committee’s concerns and to accommodate the committee’s legitimate oversight interests.” The White House reacted sharply to the committee action. “Instead of creating jobs or strengthening the middleclass, congressional Republicans are spending their time on a politically motivated, taxpayer-funded election-year fishing expedition,” Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer said.

Demond Bluntson, 36, could face yet more charges in El Campo, about 200 miles away, where police believe he killed his girlfriend — the boys’ mother — and dumped her body at a property in El Campo where his father lives. Bluntson was also charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon against a public servant and one count of aggravated assault causing serious bodily injury, Laredo police spokesman Joe Baeza said in a statement. Bluntson was being held without bond. ATHENS, GREECE

New government announced

Three parties led by the center-right New Democracy have agreed in principle to form a government that will uphold Greece’s previous bailout agreements with the European Union, party officials said Wednesday. But the way the government will be structured underscores the questions that still reign over Greece in the wake of Sunday’s parliamentary elections. New Democracy leader Antonis Samaras would head the government, but New Democracy’s partners, the Socialist PASOK party and the Democratic Left, declined to name prominent politicians or former ministers to the government. PASOK and the Democratic Left finished in third and sixth places in Sunday’s elections, respectively, and appear to be avoiding a high profile in the new government out of fear it may not succeed in efforts to renegotiate the EU-imposed austerity program that is widely blamed for worsening Greece’s economic contraction.

Syrian rebels clashed with soldiers for hours overnight in a northwestern province and inflicted heavy casualties on government forces, activists said Wednesday. The fighting came after the head of the country’s U.N. observers said his forces had come under attack and cast doubt on the future of the mission. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says 20 soldiers were killed in clashes with rebels in Latakia starting late Tuesday, but it was impossible to confirm that toll independently. The Observatory cited witnesses on the ground for the figure.

And the next president is … By HAMZA HENDAWI Associated Press

CAIRO — Authorities delayed the announcement of the winner of Egypt’s presidential election, which had been expected today, and gave no date for a decision, hiking tension as allegations of fraud swirled and each candidate declared he was the victor. Amid the atmosphere of political confusion, the Muslim Brotherhood claimed there was an organized campaign of allegations against it to mar the election and keep its candidate, Mohammed Morsi, out of the presidency. The accusation raises temperatures and the possibility of a backlash from the Brotherhood if its rival — former prime minister Ahmed Shafiq — is declared the winner. On top of the potentially explosive dispute over the election is murkiness over the latest health scare of the 84-year-old former President Hosni Mubarak, who was ousted in Egypt’s uprising last year and is now serving a life sentence in prison. Overnight, state media reported that he suffered a stroke and was put on life support. He was transferred to a military hospital from the Cairo prison hospital

where he has been kept since his June 2 conviction and sentencing for failing to stop the killing of protesters during the uprising. Security officials said Wednesday he was in a coma but off life support and his heart and other vital organs were functioning. But the ambiguity over his condition has fueled skepticism among the public, where many already suspect that reports of his deteriorating condition are merely a pretext by security and military officials sympathetic to the former boss to get him out of prison to a more comfortable facility. Egypt’s election of a successor to Mubarak was long touted as a landmark mo-

ment, the choosing of the country’s first civilian president in generations, who was meant to take the reins of power from the generals who have ruled directly since Mubarak’s removal on Feb. 11, 2011. Instead, it is shaping into a possible confrontation between the Brotherhood on one side and the military and entrenched elements of Mubarak’s old regime. In a series of swift moves the past week, the ruling generals have cornered for themselves sweeping powers that effectively subordinate the next president and severely limit his capability for independent action. A court order dissolved parliament, which was led by the Brotherhood, and the military issued a constitutional declaration that makes the generals the nation’s legislators and gives them control of the budget. They will dominate the security system after reshaping a key National Defense Council to keep it under their control, not the president’s. The generals will also oversee the process of writing Egypt’s new, permanent constitution. Allies of the military and Mubarak-era officials also hold sway in the judiciary, the prosecutor’s office and the election commission.

20 Quaker Oats workers winners of $241 million The Associated Press

DES MOINES, Iowa — A group of 20 workers at a Quaker Oats plant in Iowa stepped forward Wednesday to claim a $241 million Powerball jackpot. Lottery spokeswoman Mary Neubauer said the agency verified the winning ticket, which was sold June 13. One of the workers bought the winning ticket for the group and the winnings will be split 20 ways, said Dan Morris, a spokesman for the

Retail Wholesale and Department Store Union that all the winners belong to in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Morris said the winners all are between 35 and 64 years old and work in the Quaker plant’s shipping department. The group took a chartered bus paid for by their union from Cedar Rapids to Des Moines on Wednesday to present their ticket to lottery officials. “They’re in shock. Still trying to recover,” said Joe Day,

the group’s lawyer. Day said the group had yet to decide what to do with the winnings, but described the winners as “ecstatic.” “Financial security for a lifetime,” he said. “Anybody would want that.” The jackpot is the 15th largest won by Powerball players and, according to Neubauer, would amount to roughly $5.6 million per person after taxes if the group chooses the lump-sum cash option.

Meanwhile in Pennsylvania, lottery officials say a Philadelphia newsstand sold a Powerball ticket worth $2 million. The winning ticket from Saturday’s drawing correctly matched all five white balls, 08-14-15-16-27. It missed the red Powerball 26. An added “Power Play” set the prize at $2 million, minus 25 percent in federal taxes. Nobody won the estimated jackpot of $40 million.

KABUL, Afghanistan – Two explosions in eastern Afghanistan, one targeting an American convoy, killed three U.S. troops, an Afghan interpreter and at least 24 other Afghans on Wednesday, defying what the military had described as a trend of diminishing violence this year. Western officials had been citing decreased civilian casualties in the first four months of the year as a sign that the insurgency is waning and Afghan forces are increasingly showing the ability to safeguard the country. But deaths have been spiking in recent weeks. Both blasts – one in the city of Khowst, the other in a rural district of Lowgar province – occurred at the lunch hour, a time when many people are on the streets. The Khowst explosion, aimed at a convoy carrying coalition troops, was triggered by a suicide bomber on a motorbike, the Interior Ministry said. The ministry put the Afghan death toll at 16, including two police officers, and the injury count at 37, including two women. Western military officials said three Americans and a translator died in the explosion, and the U.S. Embassy condemned what it called a "murderous campaign against all" by the Taliban and other insurgents. Khowst, the capital of the province of the same name, lies just across the border from Pakistan’s tribal areas, where the Haqqani network, a virulent Taliban offshoot, is based. Khowst city remains volatile even though there is a major American-run base on its outskirts. That installation, known as Camp Salerno, came under a fierce and concerted insurgent attack on June 1 that left dozens of troops seriously injured. At the time, the NATO force disclosed little about the incident, including the fact that insurgents had set off a huge truck bomb at the gates of the installation, causing about 100 injuries, about three dozen of them serious. The Washington Post first reported the actual severity of the attack, an account that was subsequently confirmed by Western military officials. About the same time as Wednesday’s Khowst attack, a civilian vehicle in the Baraki Barak district of Lowgar province hit a roadside bomb, killing eight civilians, half of them children, the Interior Ministry said. It blamed “terrorist Taliban” for planting the device.

Mixed feelings on health care Poll: Only a third favor law, but most want feds to do something if court tosses it.

NESCOPECK

Police to boost efforts to enforce drug laws By TOM HUNTINGTON Times Leader Correspondent

By MARK SHERMAN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Just a third of Americans back President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul on which the Supreme Court is about to pass judgment, a new poll finds. But there is overwhelming support among both supporters and opponents for Congress and the president to begin work on a new bill if the high court strikes down the two-yearold law. The overall level of support for the law is relatively unchanged in recent months, with 47 percent opposing it. But an Associated Press-GfK poll shows that only 21 percent of independents approve of the law, a new low in AP-GfK polling. The Supreme Court is expected to rule on the 2010 law in the next week or so. Most of the law’s major changes aimed at extending health insurance to more than 30 million Americans who now lack coverage have yet to take effect, including the requirement that most people have health insurance or pay a penalty. The insurance mandate has been among the least popular aspects of the law. Provisions that have gone into effect include extended coverage for young adults on their parents’ insurance and relief for seniors with high prescription drug costs. But whatever people think of the law, they don’t want a Supreme Court ruling against it to be the last word on health care reform. More than three-fourths of Americans want their political leaders to undertake a new effort,

A new poll finds that Americans overwhelmingly want the president and Congress to get to work on a new bill to change the health care system if the Supreme Court strikes down the 2010 law.

rather than leave the health care system alone if the court rules against the law, according to the poll. Large majorities of both opponents and backers of the law share the view that Congress and the president should start anew. The lowest level of support for new health care legislation comes from people who identify themselves as strong supporters of the tea party. Even in that group, though, nearly 60 percent favor work on a new bill. Gary Hess, a Republican from Discovery Bay, Calif., wants the high court to throw out the entire law. But Hess, 77, said he favors the provision requiring insurance companies to cover people regardless of their medical condition. “There needs to be compro-

mise on both sides,” the retired school administrator said. Garrett Chase, 51, said he hopes the court leaves the law in place but agreed with Hess that the politicians should get back to work if it is struck down. “I live in the ghetto, and I see people dying every day,” said Chase, an unemployed car salesman from Baltimore. “They can’t get help because they can’t afford it.” A new health care bill doesn’t seem to be in either party’s plans. Republicans say they will try to repeal whatever’s left of the law after the high court rules and then wait at least until after the

November elections to push replacement measures. Democrats say Obama will push to put in place whatever survives. A narrow majority say the outcome of this year’s presidential contest between Obama and his presumed challenger, Republican Mitt Romney, will have a big effect on the nation’s health care system. Republicans, at 58 percent, are most likely to see a link between the election and health care. Forty-eight percent of Democrats and 42 percent of independents believe the election will have a great deal of impact on the health care system.

NESCOPECK – The changing demographic of the borough was brought into focus at Tuesday night’s council meeting when Mayor Tim Kelchner, in his report to council, said police officers will increase efforts to enforce drug laws. “There are new people in town. . . Things are changing and the police will definitely be pushing drug enforcement,” Kelchner said. Council, at the initiative of Councilman Paul Nye, approved the purchase from a Colorado company of a manual on drug identification, as well as six charts that illustrate the composition of illegal drugs. The cost, according to Nye, is $39.95 for the manual and $17.50 each for the charts. Council President Sandy Wright, responding to criticism of the police department, said that after the ouster of former Chief Jim Disidoro, the department is being “re-established from the ground up and it’s being done in a methodical way.” She said administrative work has cut into the time officers have to spend on the streets, but that situation is changing. In conjunction with Wright’s comments, officer

Michael Eyer, the acting officer-in-charge, said “the people will see us more on the road.” That met with approval from a Broad Street resident who complained that “young kids” have been driving their cars at excessive speeds on Broad Street. He estimated they were traveling at up to 70 mph. The topic of Disidoro remained on the agenda as council unanimously approved a $6,500 payment to the ex-chief and ratified a remittance of $589.80 for legal fees incurred in resolving the Disidoro case. Council also approved a payment of $4,516 to A-1 Services, $3,750 to Peters Engineering Consultants and $4,500 to Michael Daddio for audit work. In public comment, a complaint was registered about the need for grading work on Walsh Alley. The resident said surface water is collecting, and stagnating, on the road. A motion by Nye to advertise a vacant police position was approved. Nye said a person with Act 120 certification is being sought. He added that a meeting of the police committee has been scheduled for Monday at 7:30 p.m. to discuss computer software for the department.

Amnesty among topics in Barletta phone-in

By STEVE MOCARSKY smocarsky@timesleader.com

U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta on Tuesday answered questions from senior citizens on a variety of issues ranging from granting amnesty to certain illegal immigrants to whether there will be a cost-of-living adjustment for Social Security recipients. Barletta, R-Hazleton, hosted a phone-in town hall meeting from his office in Washington, D.C., to hear directly from his senior citizen constituents on issues important to them. In a 5-minute introduction, Barletta spoke about the national debt, national security threats, illegal immigration and the economy, saying he knows those issues and others are important to seniors. “They see the high prices in the grocery stores and at the gas pumps. They hear about how their children and grandchildren can’t find jobs or work longer

hours for less money. They worry about whether or not the next generation will have a better opportunity than they had,” he said.

‘Back-door amnesty’ The first question came from a man who identified himself as Al and who asked if there was anything Barletta and Congress could do “to stop this back-door amnesty thing that President Obama has recently announced.” Barletta said he is working on a bill that would stop “what is absolutely back-door amnesty.” He explained that an executive order by President Barack Obama would allow anyone under age 30 who is in the country illegally, who was brought here prior to their being 16 years old, who has been here five or more years and

such as “Do you support amnesty for illegal immigrants?” and “Do you support the repeal of the president’s health care law?” Participants could cast a vote by pressing a number on their phone keypads for “yes, no or unsure.” Another caller, whose name was inaudible, said the House passed many bills that have gone to the Senate but were never voted on there and wanted to know how that information could be better publicized. Barletta said the House passed “31 jobs bills … that have gone to the Senate and that (Majority Leader) Harry Reid has not even brought up for a vote. They simply are sitting in his desk … and that is very frustrating. And unfortunately, it’s difficult to get that message out to Straw poll queries the American people who beAt various times throughout lieve it’s the entire Congress the call, Barletta asked participa- that’s to blame.” Reid’s office did not respond nts to answer poll questions

who has a clean criminal history to stay and receive a two-year work permit that can be renewed indefinitely. “The problem is the president overstepped his constitutional authority. I don’t believe the president has the right to bypass Congress. … The president said he was doing this because Congress won’t act, which is absolutely false. Congress has acted numerous times in voting against giving amnesty to illegal aliens,” he said. Barletta said his bill would delay the Department of Homeland Security from taking action on the president’s decision until some questions are answered, such as what effect it would have on the economy, on Social Security, on students who are applying for aid and on unemployment.

to a request for comment.

COLAs and energy Louise from Shickshinny asked if there would be a cost of living adjustment to Social Security. Barletta said Social Security recently had a COLA and he would continue trying to develop a good energy policy so that prices of energy and the cost of making and transporting goods can be kept as low as possible for people on fixed incomes. He said he would also fight to keep funding for low-income heating assistance. Barletta also addressed questions on the Affordable Care Act, saying he believes the Supreme Court will strike it down as unconstitutional; Attorney General Eric Holder refusing to turn over some documents in a guntrafficking case to Congress; job creation, and a domestic energy policy.

HARRISBURG — Gov. Tom Corbett is demonstrating that he has deep support from labor unions and business advocacy groups as he presses state lawmakers to approve a $1.7 billion tax break to lure an integrated petrochemical industry. Corbett appeared Wednesday with dozens of union and business representatives, as well as lawmakers from both parties, in a show of support. It would be the largest taxpayer-paid financial incentives package in Pennsylvania history for what Corbett says would be the biggest investment in the state in a generation. Lawmakers are uneasy over the appearance of an industry giveaway at the same time Corbett is proposing a second straight year of cuts in aid to education and the poor. Some suggest they’ll want to tie the tax credit to the number of people hired.

Corbett, GOP meet on spending plan The Associated Press

HARRISBURG — Top Republican state lawmakers and Gov. Tom Corbett are meeting privately in hopes of agreeing shortly on a bottom-line spending figure for the fiscal year that begins July 1. Wednesday evening’s meeting came after two weeks of almost-daily talks. They also are trying to settle on a package of high-priority legislation they can complete before lawmakers take their traditional summer break from Harrisburg in July and August. Negotiations on a $27 billion-plus budget have moved slowly as Corbett works to tamp down the Legislature’s spending demands in favor of saving money for spiraling public employee pension costs. That aside, the sides agree on a no-new-taxes budget that cuts taxes by $275 million for businesses and eliminates a $150 million welfare cash benefit for nearly 70,000 adults who are temporarily disabled.

By STEVE PEOPLES and JIM KUHNHENN Associated Press

ORLANDO, Fla. — No longer a backburner issue, immigration is roiling the presidential contest as President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney seek to court the nation’s swelling Hispanic population. The outcome could influence political battle lines and shape American politics for generations. By week’s end, both candidates will address the same Latino political convention in Florida, showcasing contrasting political ideologies at a pivotal time. The Supreme Court is about to render judgment on a get-tough Arizona law, and just last week the Democratic president announced plans to ease deportation rules for some children of illegal immigrants. With Election Day less than five months away, Hispanic voters are energized and paying close attention, said Arturo Vargas, executive director of the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials, which hosts this week’s convention. “There’s a lot at stake. We’re talking about a significant share of the American electorate that could well decide this election,” Vargas said. “It’s only now that both candidates are turning their attention to the Latino vote.” Indeed, both sides are crafting aggressive strategies to appeal to a demographic that is by no means monolithic but has supported Democrats in recent elections. Some Republicans fear — and Democrats hope — that Obama could capitalize on this moment to help solidify Hispanic voters as predominantly Democratic this fall and for years to come, much as President Lyndon Johnson hardened the black vote for Democrats as he pushed the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The stakes are high not only for states with larger Hispanic populations such as Florida, Nevada and Colorado, but for a growing number of other battlegrounds — Ohio, North Carolina and Virginia, among them — where even a modest shift among Latino voters could be significant. The United States’ Latino population surged from about 35 million in 2000 to 50 million in 2010, according to the Census Bureau. As the presidential candidates head to the Florida convention, Obama is riding a wave of Latino enthusiasm over his decision to allow hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants to stay in the country and work. Under the administration plan, illegal immigrants can avoid deportation if they can prove they were brought to the United States before they turned 16 and are younger than 30, have been in the country for at least five continuous years, have no criminal history, graduated from a U.S. high school or earned a GED or served in the military. The new policy could help anywhere from 800,000 young immigrants — the administration’s estimate — to the Pew Hispanic Center’s estimate of 1.4 million. The move was politically timely, in the heat of the campaign and with Obama needing to energize a key part of his base of supporters — many of whom had grown disenchanted over the past three years. While the direct

beneficiaries of the directive can’t vote for Obama, his action has widespread support among American Latinos. In fact, Obama has long enjoyed support among Hispanics — he won 67 percent of the Latino vote in 2008. But he risked losing their enthusiasm, partly because Hispanics have been among the hardest hit by the economic slowdown. Obama also lost some support because he hasn’t fulfilled promises of a comprehensive overhaul of the immigration system and because his administration has been aggressively deporting illegal immigrants. A December poll by the Pew Hispanic Center showed that 59 percent of Latinos disapproved of the president’s handling of deportations. Obama senior adviser David Axelrod predicts that the president could exceed his 2008 performance with Hispanics this year, noting that his opponent then was Sen. John McCain, who had initially pushed for an overhaul of the immigration system. Axelrod contends that Romney is “hopelessly twisted up on this issue.” Obama had troubles of his own before the administration announced the recent initiative. Supporters of many illegal immigrants — students as well as workers — had been mounting protests at Obama campaign headquarters this month in places such as Denver and Los Angeles. The Romney campaign has struggled to offer a consistent response to the president’s move. Romney has assailed Obama’s “broken promises” on immigration in recent days but has focused on the new policy’s temporary status as his prime criticism. “These people deserve to understand what their status will be long term, not just four and a half months,” Romney said on Fox News Radio this week. “And that’s why I think it’s important for me and for Congress to come together to put together a plan that secures the border, that insists that we have an employment verification system and that deals with the children of those who have come here illegally on a long-term basis, not a stopgap measure.” As is typical, Romney intends to focus on the economy when he faces the Latino convention today. The former Massachusetts governor argues that his economic credentials would benefit all people who have struggled under Obama’s leadership in recent years — women, younger voters and Hispanics among them. Still, Romney’s own immigration policy is unclear as he works to distance himself from harsh conservative rhetoric that was common during the extended GOP primary season earlier in the year. Facing a Rhode Island audience in April, for example, Romney drew large cheers when he said, “We want people to come here legally. And we like it when they come here speaking English.” He did not support the Obama administration’s lawsuit challenging Arizona’s hardline immigration law. And he said that he would veto the DREAM Act that would have given legal status to some children of illegal immigrants. Romney has refused so far to say whether he would reverse Obama’s new policy that does much the same thing, albeit on a temporary basis.

Pharmacy gets OK to convert ex-bakery City planning commission and zoning hearing board approve plans for new Harrold’s. By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – The owner of Harrold’s Pharmacy received approval from the city’s planning commission and zoning hearing board Wednesday, paving the way for redevelopment of the former Old River Road Bakery site. Both agencies voted 4-0 to approve the project. Bruce Lefkowitz, owner of Harrold’s Pharmacy, was relieved at the end of the day. He said work will begin immediately to transform the former bakery into a 22,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art pharmacy. “We will organize our employees and have a cleanup day as soon as possible,” Lefkowitz, 47, said. “We plan to make the area look a lot better and that will start with cleaning up the property.” Lefkowitz formed a corporation – 250 Old River Road LLC – for the project. He paid $50,000 for the building and 1.14 acres and plans to spend an additional $3.8 million on renovations. The zoning hearing board approved a variance to establish a pharmacy with related ancillary uses, a variance to reduce the required number of off-street parking spaces from 64 to 52 and a variance to waive the required screening along Beekman Street for the proposed off-street parking area. The board also approved variances to waive setback distances for the proposed off-

Fuller told police he waited outside until customers left before allegedly robbing the businesses, according to the criminal complaints. West Pittston police allege Fuller held up the Pen-Mart on Wyoming Avenue on March 1. The business was inundated during the September flood and had recently reopened. “All robberies are despicable,” West Pittston Police Chief Paul Porfirio said. “But this one in our community was especially despicable. We’ve had a community devastated by flood just like in Duryea. This one establishment

Lefkowitz plans to move his family’s 65-year-old business now at 179 Old River Road into the new facility. The city originally intended to sell the building for $38,000 to Leo A. Glodzik, owner of LAG Towing – the city’s towing contractor – but that deal was terminated last summer. Lefkowitz said he has 50 employees at Harrold’s and will probably hire more when the new store opens. The reconstructed building will include two rental spaces. Two people questioned the development. June Camera said her daughter lives on Conwell Street and she was concerned that security lighting would shine in her daughter’s house. She was assured all lighting would have shades to prevent that from happening. Brian Hammerbacher, representing Slocum Windows and Doors, located across Old River Road from the site, asked if parking would be allowed on the street. He said his company has trucks that need to get in and out of loading docks. Attorney Charles McCormick, board solicitor, advised him to take his concern to the city traffic committee. Lefkowitz said he hopes to complete the project in six to eight months. He said the new site will allow space to expand his retail floor and to allow more room for his on-site services. was just getting back on their feet; they had 7 feet of water. They started selling gas and taking care of people coming in, and this guy does this.” Exeter police say Fuller robbed the Uni-Mart on Wyoming Avenue on May 4, and Jenkins Township police allege he robbed the Dunkin Donuts on state Route 315 on May 15. Fuller allegedly robbed the Uni-Mart on Main Street, Duryea, on June 1, and Plains Township police say Fuller held up the Subway Restaurant on South River Street on June 8. Fuller told police he did not use a weapon when he allegedly robbed the businesses. “The individual said he was down and out,” Porfirio said. “From reading the reports, the individual had a six-figure job and went through some hard times. No excuses and he asked for no excuses.”

No tax hike in Northwest Area Returning Life Skills program to district means big savings and no tax increase. By TOM HUNTINGTON Times Leader Correspondent

UNION TWP. – The bottom line on the Northwest Area School District budget is that there will be no tax increase for the 2012-2013 school term. It was announced at a school board meeting on Wednesday night that the tax rate will stay at 9.1986 mills, with revenue projected at $17.8 million and expenses $17.3 million. A mill is $1 in tax for every $1,000 in assessed valuation. The budget was passed 8-1. Only school director Gina Schwartz cast a negative vote. She clarified that her vote cen-

NANTICOKE – Alexander Belavitz, president and CEO of Facility Design & Development, on Wednesday night discussed with City Council potential plans for the $16 million housing project whose Phase 1 development should begin after Labor Day. The multifamily project will not be a low-income development, but one that is price-sensitive for Nanticoke, Belavitz said. The development will come at no cost to the city. Council also approved the purchase 12 speed signs. The signs will display the speed limit at 25 mph and will be posted along Union Street. State Street resident Donna Parrish addressed council about illegal activity that has been occurring around the State and

Chestnut streets area. Parrish said she recently witnessed illegal activity going on and called 911, which would not connect her with the Nanticoke Police Department, and she said did not receive a timely response. She said that by the time she received a response, the activity had ceased and the suspects were gone. Parrish requested that an after hours, non-emergency, direct number to the police department be provided. Council President Stephen Duda assured Parrish the matter would be handled promptly and would be discussed with the mayor and the acting police chief. Parrish also said illegal activities have been increasing in that area, and that she believes many of the landlords on that street are absentee owners.

SANFORD, Fla. — The central Florida police chief who was strongly criticized for his agency’s initial investigation of Trayvon Martin’s slaying was fired Wednesday, city officials said. Sanford City Manager Norton Bonaparte said in a statement that he relieved Chief Bill Lee of duty because the manager said he “determined the Police Chief needs to have the trust and respect of the elected officials and the confidence of the entire community.” “We need to move forward with a police chief that all the citizens of Sanford can support. I have come to this decision in light of the escalating divisiveness that has taken hold of the city,” Bonaparte said. Sara Brady, a spokeswoman for the former chief, said Lee

and Bonaparte met Wednesday morning to discuss his termination. “They had a discussion this morning, but the details were not worked out, and that is how it was left,” Brady said. The initial lack of an arrest following the fatal shooting of Martin, an unarmed black teenager, by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman in February led to protests across the nation. The local prosecutor recused himself from the case, prompting Gov. Rick Scott to appoint special prosecutor Angela Corey, who charged Zimmerman in April with second-degree murder. The 17-year-old Martin was fatally shot following a Feb. 26 altercation with Zimmerman, who claims self-defense and has pleaded not guilty.

However, all Gordon would add about contract talks is that “they’re still ongoing.” In May, Northwest remitted $188,567 to the trust for health and vision coverage. The board also acted to retain Darlene Higgins as a secondary special education teacher at a salary of $39,848 and Alyssa Getz as an elementary special education teacher at the same salary. Dorinda McHenry was hired as a grant writer at a rate of $25 per hour. Summer employment was approved for Fred Sorber, Rick Boyer and Susan Price. Contracts for seal coating at the high school and intermediate school, $2,370 and $6,590, were awarded to American Asphalt.

fund for future capital improvements. His proposal passed unanimously. In the area of revenue, Tomasacci said approximately $30,000 will be lost by the district through the demolition of flood-damaged houses in Shickshinny. But Director Peter Lanza argued this loss has been offset by new construction of dwellings with a higher valuation in other parts of the school district. In another action having longrange implications, the board authorized Grevera to submit a letter to the Northeast School District Health Trust stating Northwest’s intention to withdraw from the trust. Tomasacci said the district had to give trust officials one year notice. He said Northwest intends to withdraw in 2013. Health care costs remain a ma-

But, he said Wednesday that increase was eradicated through savings of $350,000, effected by Superintendent Dr. Ronald Grevera by returning Life Skill Programs from the Luzerne Intermediate Unit to Northwest and through a $250,000 reduction in transportation expenses. Board President Randy Tomasacci said budget was also balanced through extreme belt tightening that “left a lot of projects go wanting.” But on the heels of Tomasacci’s comments, Director Albert Gordon, board secretary, proposed that $500,000 be set aside from budget money in order to create a

OTHER OPINION: CAMPAIGN MONEY

Citizens United merits revisiting

N A FEW days, the U.S. Supreme Court will announce a decision that could have a profound impact on America’s future - and, it’s not about health care. American Tradition Partnership Inc. v. Bullock is better known as “the Montana case.” The court has been asked to overturn a 5-2 Montana Supreme Court ruling that state elections in Montana are so fraught with the potential for corruption that strict campaign finance laws must be enforced. The Montana court ruled that the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Citizens United v. FEC applies to federal elections, not Montana elections. Citizens United held that corporations could contribute unlimited amounts to elections. A group of Montana corporations is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the Montana ruling. The justices also could schedule a full hearing on the case. This would be a courageous admission that it got Citizens United wrong. Don’t hold your breath. Montana Chief Justice Mike McGrath, in his majority opinion in American Tradition Partnership, identified the key fallacy in Citizens United: the court’s assertion that corporate EDITORIAL BOARD

spending “does not give rise to corruption or the appearance of corruption.” Justice McGrath suggested that the corruptive history of Montana’s “copper kings” shows the problem. In 1907, Mark Twain wrote of U.S. Sen. William A. Clark, a mining millionaire turned Democratic politician: “He is said to have bought legislatures and judges as other men buy food and raiment. By his example he has so excused and so sweetened corruption that in Montana it no longer has an offensive smell.” Twain would have loved Sheldon Adelson, the 78-yearold casino mogul who underwrote Newt Gingrich’s bid for the Republican nomination. He is reported to be prepared to spend $100 million to help elect Mitt Romney instead. If money is a protected form of free speech - as the Supreme Court ruled in Buckley v. Valeo in 1976 - then the obverse is true: Lack of money equals lack of speech. Because of the Supreme Court, some citizens today are less important than others. A cynic might say that’s always been the case. But it shouldn’t be enshrined in law. St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Manufacturing tax credit a great opportunity for growth SHELL ANNOUNCED in March it would consider building an ethane cracker plant in Pennsylvania, a plant that could be the single-largest private natural resource development investment in state history and one that could ignite a new industrial revolution here. Cracker plants remove ethane from natural gas and “crack” the ethane into derivatives used to manufacture countless products from sealants to sneakers, from pipes to plastics and from tires to toys. Pennsylvania, led by Governor Tom Corbett, beat out tough competition because the package of incentives we offered – including KOZ designation for the plant location and a tax credit awarded for purchase of natural gas containing ethane – was superior to the 25 years of tax breaks reportedly offered by West Virginia and the more than $1.4 billion in incentives proposed by Ohio. Our proposed tax credit provides exactly what Shell and other natural gas processors need: security that the natural gas suppliers and downstream manufacturing industry a cracker plant requires for success will be built here from scratch, because the tax credit provides development incentive to spin-off industries. Because of our incentive package, Shell and others are considering Pennsylvania for their operations as opposed to the Gulf Coast, where the ethane

DAN MEUSER feedstock, infrastructure and petrochemical manufacturing customer base are already established. This proposed facility will require enormous additional investments made by dozens of new manufacturers in order to succeed, and that’s where the tax credit comes in. Capped at $66 million annually and taking effect in 2017, the Pennsylvania Resource Manufacturing (PRM) Tax Credit is performance-based: awarded only if and when a cracker plant buys natural gas containing ethane. And a cracker will only buy such natural gas if it has suppliers from which to purchase natural gas and manufacturers to which it can sell the ethane derivatives. Because the PRM tax credit can be sold to upstream suppliers and downstream manufacturers, the incentive to develop this new industry in Pennsylvania would come full circle. This new industry will create enormous business activity upstream (natural gas purchasing), midstream (the cracker plant itself), and downstream (the new manufacturing base), creating an estimated 17,000 permanent jobs and 10,000 construc-

tion jobs in Pennsylvania. At those levels of job creation and assuming one or more cracker’s consumption of natural gas in the range of 60,000 to 85,000 barrels daily, the personal income tax generated by such jobs and the business income tax generated by such activity would nearly match or exceed the credit cap each year. The potential return on investment – not even considering additional revenue generated from growth in service industries, hotels, retail stores, housing, etc. – is significant, as the tax credit would pay for itself with job creation and business activity that generates new taxes. Now is the time to enact this tax credit. Shell is looking for security and investment predictability now, as it continues to evaluate the possibility of building its cracker in Pennsylvania within the next few years. Governor Tom Corbett led this effort and won this opportunity for the long-term benefits that will be created for Pennsylvanians across the state. To remain competitive in a global economy, create jobs and strengthen our communities, we must be willing to make carefully calculated investments that will deliver clear returns for our citizens.

he Crestwood School District is fighting the same battle as all school districts throughout the state, thanks to our leadership in Harrisburg. However, there is one striking difference. The Crestwood School Board has heard pleas from dozens of residents and students to use its resources and develop a sensible plan that will keep our district progressive and successful. These pleas have fallen on deaf ears. Reports from the county assessor’s office this week revealed that Rice Township, located in Mountain Top, had the largest percentage increase in Luzerne County in its tax base over the past four months. Township officials attribute this growth of new homes to our community, including our school district, and what it has to offer residents. It is truly disheartening to realize that our elected officials have refused to work as a team, be open-minded, and hear their constituents when asked to look at other options that will minimize the impact of the governor’s actions.

school board has had a year to plan for this day. Last year, teachers in the district took a pay freeze that saved the district nearly $250,000 more than what was necessary to save academic programs. This money was not placed in reserve, but spent on other, non-academic programs. As a parent and a taxpayer, I urge our school directors and administration to use these remaining “budget” days to review their options and amend their plan so that we can preserve the sound education we have established for our children. The current plan will not only threaten the quality of our children’s educations, but also property values. Increasing class size, cutting programs that benefit our students in many ways, and creating job loss is not the answer to maintaining an attractive community. Please

Leasing of W-B parking will only hurt business

et me state that I like Mayor Leighton and believe, for the most part, he is doing a good job for Wilkes-Barre. But putting parking up for leasing will be a short- term boon that will turn into a nightmare for downtown patrons and the business community. Wilkes-Barre’s downtown is showing signs of business progress. Putting parking up for sale will have unintended consequences for years after the mayor has left office. If anything, we need more free parking zones in the downtown area to attract more business. Any business currently contemplating opening a business downtown will be having second thoughts.

SANDUSKY Continued from Page 1A

Sandusky was only heard from via a November interview with NBC’s Bob Costas, saying he probably shouldn’t have showered with boys; and in letters he wrote to one of his accusers. Sandusky is charged with 51 criminal counts for the alleged abuse of 10 boys over 15 years. One of the last witnesses called was Dr. Jonathan Dranov, a physician summoned to the home of Mike McQueary’s father in February 2001 to hear McQueary’s account of seeing Sandusky sexually assaulting a boy in the campus showers. The boy, known only as Victim 2, has never been identified and isn’t known to prosecutors. Dranov testified McQueary told of hearing “sexual sounds” and seeing a boy in the shower before an arm reached around to pull him out of view. McQueary said he made eye contact with the boy and Sandusky later emerged from the showers, Dranov said. At a preliminary hearing and at the trial, he has said he saw Sandusky directly behind the boy’s back, moving his midsection enough to convince McQueary it was a sex act. Dranov told the jury that McQueary described hearing

sounds he considered sexual in nature but did not provide him with a graphic description of what he saw. “It just seemed to make him upset so I backed off that,” Dranov said. Asked to describe McQueary’s demeanor, Dranov said: “His voice was trembling. His hands were shaking. He was visibly shaken,” Dranov said. McQueary’s report to his superiors — and Penn State officials’ failure to go to outside law enforcement — led to the firing of Paterno, who died of cancer in January. McQueary had testified earlier in the trial that he wasn’t “overdescriptive” in his conversation with Dranov, saying he told the

doctor that what he saw was sexual, wrong and perverse. The defense rested around lunchtime Wednesday. Judge John Cleland said jury instructions and closing arguments by the defense and then prosecution would take place this morning. If convicted, the 68-year-old former defensive coordinator could be sent to state prison for the rest of his life. Prosecutors called 22 witnesses, including eight young men, ages18 to 28, who alleged a range of abuse from grooming, kissing and massaging to fondling, oral sex and anal rape. David Hilton, who met Sandusky through a summer camp of his charity, testified Wednesday he felt like investigators were try-

ing to coach him into accusing Sandusky. “When it got to the second or third time I felt like they wanted me to say something that isn’t true,” he said. The other witnesses on Wednesday were a man who ran a golf event for the charity, who testified that McQueary may have participated in the event after the 2001shower incident; and a Second Mile alum who praised Sandusky’s reputation and referred to him as a father figure. Prosecutors allege that Sandusky met his alleged victims through The Second Mile. Sandusky didn’t take the stand after his lawyer suggested in opening statements that he might. One of the jurors was excused from the case Wednesday with an illness; the female juror was replaced by an alternate, also a woman. Sandusky attorney Karl Rominger also asked Cleland to dismiss five counts related to socalled Victim 8, the other boy never identified by investigators. Rominger argued the timing of the charges had not been proven by the testimony of a janitor’s coworker, who said the janitor had told him he saw Sandusky molest the boy in a shower. The Penn State janitor himself was ruled not medically competent to testify. The judge didn’t immediately rule on the motion.

study the issue. “Mr. Wagner failed to look at all the excess there is in educational spending. He did not look at the school districts, he’s just going after charter schools,” Kilpatrick said. Funding for charter schools, particularly cyber charters, has long been a source of contention for school districts statewide that have seen their costs skyrocket in the past decade as more and more students flock to the alternative form of education. More than 100,000 students statewide were enrolled in 154 charter and 13 cyber charter schools in the 2011-12 school year. In Luzerne County, the cost of cyber charter schools, which are funded by local school districts,

increased from $378,071 for 63 students in the 2001-02 school year, to $6.5 million for 700 students in the 2010-11 school year, according to data from the state Department of Education. Wilkes-Barre Area Superintendent Jeff Namey said he is pleased to learn Wagner is pushing for reforms to the funding structure. W-B Area’s cyber tab His district spent $1.3 million on cyber school students in the 2010-11 school year. Namey said he’s not opposed to brick-and-mortar and cyber charter schools, although he believes most students benefit more from a traditional school. His issue has always been with the funding, which he believes is unfair because it does not take into account the charter school’s actual cost to educate a student. The payment to a charter school is based on a school district’s per-student cost, which is

determined by the state. Districts are required to turn over that payment to the charter/ cyber charter school when a child leaves the district’s school. That rate varies greatly by district, even though the cost to educate each child at a charter school is relatively the same. In a previous report issued in 2010, Wagner found the average rate paid to all charter schools varied from $6,496 per student to $16,249 per student. “This is not an issue of should you have charter schools or not have charter schools. It’s an issue of how they are funded,” Namey said. Namey has been particularly critical of funding for cyber charters, which do not have the same overhead costs as brick-andmortar schools. “That part is absolutely ridiculous. It’s not a brick-and-mortar school. They don’t incur all the expenses that go along with that,” Namey said

County projects are wide-ranging By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

Luzerne County Chief Engineer Joe Gibbons plowed through a lengthy list of capital project updates Tuesday as part of the administration’s periodic reports to county council. Some highlights: • Springbrook Water Co.: The administration is actively seeking a buyer and working with the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Business and Industry to show the county-owned property to an interested party. The county acquired the structure at 30 N. Franklin St., Wilkes-Barre, in 2005 as part of a package of former watershed property previously owned by Theta Land Corp. • County-owned property: The administration is developing a policy outlining plans to sell unneeded county property. This will include the marketing of privately owned repository properties that don’t sell in back-tax auctions. Property sales will generate tax revenue and reduce county liability. • Courthouse: A heating system replacement is 95 percent complete. The latest phase of exterior restoration designed to stop leaks is nearing completion. High-performance waterproof coating will be applied to the large dome and four smaller ones in a few weeks. • Water Street Parkade: A new ticketing system and replacement of a building generator destroyed in the September flood are in the works. Taxpayers and some officials have complained the county is missing out on revenue with no system to charge non-employees who park there. • West Side Annex: The administration is identifying county offices that may be moved to vacant space at the county-owned office building near the county recreation complex in Forty Fort to save money on leasing outside property. For example, the county’s tourism bureau is expected to move from rented space on Public Square to the annex. • Market Street Square: Discussions continue with the county Redevelopment Authority about the future of the 6-acre, authority-owned property at the corner of Wilkes-Barre Boulevard and Market Street, Wilkes-Barre. County Manager Robert Lawton wants to cancel a $2 million county allocation for renovation of a historic train station at the site. The recent higher bidder of a train car auctioned at the site is still evaluating whether to remove the car or obtain environmental clearance to dismantle it on-site for scrap. • Record storage: The county still needs a new home for records because the leased storage space has temperature extremes and other poor conditions.

B I D D AT E C H A N G E D The city of Wilkes-Barre has extended the deadline to respond to the Hotel Sterling demolition request for proposals from June 26 to June 29, at 9:30 a.m. The extension was given to allow more time for interested responders to submit questions and receive clarifications on the specifications in advance of the final deadline. Some 22 interested bidders recently toured the building, more than the city had anticipated, said Drew McLaughlin, administrative coordinator. He said by extending the deadline to the end of the week, responders and city officials will have sufficient time to answer any and all inquiries on the proposed project. The city will contact all interested contractors to alert them of the extension. Official bids will be opened publicly at 10 a.m. on June 29 in City Council chambers, 4th floor, City Hall.

mine overall staff and record space needs. • Wyoming Valley Airport: The county-owned facility in Wyoming is about to unveil new technology that uses colored lights to tell pilots if they are properly positioned for a safe landing. The airport advisory may soon approach council about private-sector interest in leasing space to build storage hangars. • Hazleton properties: Demolition of an addition on a former bank building in downtown Hazleton owned by the county is almost complete. Past commissioners bought the building for $700,000 to house a southern county annex that never materialized. The county will convey the property to Hazleton for a new police headquarters in exchange for the city’s forgiveness of a $290,000 lien against the countyowned Broad Street Exchange. The county acquired the Broad Street Exchange to keep it out of a back-tax auction that would have caused the county to lose a $1.8 million community development loan on the property. The building, which once housed the Deisroth department store, is almost fully occupied and may be sold in 2015 when another outstanding lien expires. • Moon Lake Park: A master plan required to obtain future state funding for the county-owned Plymouth Township park is finished and will be presented to council for final approval. The park is open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily through Halloween. • Seven Tubs Nature Area: The county-owned park on state Route 115 in Plains Township opened a week before the traditional Memorial Day start and will remain open 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. daily until Labor Day. • Roads: The paving of sections of Huntsville Road in Dallas and Honeyhole Road in the Mountain Top area is near completion. The paving of Church Road by the Crestwood Industrial Park is expected to start in July. The county received verbal notice of a grant to help fund the paving of New Commerce Boulevard, the main artery through the Hanover Industrial Park. • River Street: The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation has been revising plans for a redesign of River Street near the county courthouse intended to calm traffic. The county wants to realign the rear courthouse access road to Union Street for safety and to increase public access to the nearby River Common. • Valley Crest: The vacant, county-owned former nursing home in Plains Township is structurally sound, but the county would have to spend millions of dollars to retrofit the structure for government offices. The county has unsuccessfully attempted to sell the 62.35-acre property since the private nursing home operator moved into a new facility in 2010.

The 29,522-square-foot Classical Revival style annex was built in 1912 as an Elks Lodge and acquired by the Hotel Sterling owners around World War II, when it took on its annex name, Newman said. Multi-purpose structure The building was used as an ancillary ballroom and meeting space for the hotel before serving as a Luzerne County Community College campus in the late 1960s and ’70s. Offices were later housed there. The rooms facing the River Common are smaller, with a series of stacked ballrooms and dining rooms in the rear portion of the structure. One of the ballrooms takes up two floors. The annex has been vacant since plans to turn it into a college art museum died in the early 1990s. The chamber mothballed and secured the structure so it wouldn’t continue to deteriorate while options were explored. The 0.21-acre property is assessed at $1.62 million but won’t generate property taxes until a decade after occupancy because it’s in a Keystone Opportunity Zone.

he poor Ohio player running over the middle went down as if he were smacked with a club, and nobody had to look twice to know Nyeem Wartman made the hit. Another big hit for the Pennsylvania team in the Big 33 Football Classic came on the offensive side of the ball, when Eugene Lewis pulled down a spectacular, leaping 35-yard catch. So if the last high school performance of those two Northeastern Pennsylvania players was any indication, Skyler Mornhinweg is right. Penn State is going to be all right. Mornhinweg, Pennsylvania’s quarterback, isn’t going to be a Nittany Lion. He changed his commitment to Florida in the aftermath of the Jerry Sandusky scandal that shook up Penn State. But Lewis and Wartman are both headed to Happy Valley. And they should make Penn State very happy for years to come. “Time for me to get to the big time,” Lewis, who starred at Wyoming Valley West, said. They have both shown they are bigtime players.

LEROY NEIMAN: 1921 - 2012

KINGSTON — Wyoming Valley West replaced one very successful coach with another as the school board voted 8-0 to appoint Paul Appel as the next coach of the Spartans girls basketball program Wednesday night. Appel takes the place of Curt Lloyd , who was 74-50 over the past five seasons leading the Spartans. Lloyd took the Spartans to states in 2010, and won WVC division titles in 2010 and last season. “I’m thrilled to be coaching again,” Appel said just moments after learning of the board’s decision. “I’m looking forward to working with the players and getting back to giving my time and bringing in my playbook. I can promise them they will get 100 percent from me.” Appel previously led Bishop O’Reilly for five seasons from 2001-06. He won district titles in each of his last three years at the helm of the Queenswomen. His next win will be a milestone, as Appel sports a 99-36 career record at the varsity level. He was also 237-71 while leading Regis Academy’s middle school team. “To win three district titles in a row, that’s something I’m proud of,” Appel said of the 2003-06 run where his Queensmen went 7113. After a loss to Marian Catholic in the state playoffs in 2006, Appel decided to leave the coaching ranks. “It was right toward the end, and O’Reilly ended up closing,” Appel said of stepping away a

Closing in on a playoff

By JOHN MEDEIROS jmedeiros@timesleader.com

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Dellin Betances struggled once again for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees on Wednesday afternoon. But this time, he didn’t take a loss. The right-hander only gave up two runs and three hits, but lasted just 4 2⁄3 innings, striking out six and allowing a season-high seven walks as the Yankees fell to Louisville 5-3 at Louisville Slugger Field. Louisville got on the board against Betances in the bottom of the second when the Yankees starter walked in the first run of the game for a 1-0 Bats’ lead. After Ronnier Mustelier singled to lead off the fourth for the Yankees, Russell Branyan gave the Yankees a 2-1 advantage bombing a two-run shot off Louisville starter Chad Reineke for his seventh homer of the season. The Bats got the run back off Betances in the bottom of the fifth inning with Felix Perez doing the damage picking up his third hit of the afternoon, an RBIsingle to even the score at 2-2.

SECTION

Building for the future Wartman, a linebacker from Valley View, should have no trouble continuing Penn State’s reputation as “Linebacker U.” The ferocious tackler who knocked Dallas’ quarterback out of a playoff game continued handing out punishment during his final high school days. Wartman crashed into Ohio running back Warren Ball on Saturday, leaving Ball jogging gingerly from the field while grabbing his side. “You really lay the wood,” a fan shouted at Wartman afterward. Another soon-to-be Lion is laying in wait. Lewis spent his past two high school seasons playing primarily quarterback at Wyoming Valley West, but anyone who watched him play wide receiver through his high school career can’t help but become inspired about the potential he’ll bring to Penn State. And just as a reminder, Lewis flashed brilliance once again Saturday at Hersheypark Stadium, out-leaping a defender as easily as he pulled down rebounds on the basketball court. The crowd-pleasing 35-yard grab set up Pennsylvania’s last touchdown, and left Lewis thumping his chest in celebration. Their futures are something to celebrate. Because Lewis and Wartman will be part of the final recruiting class of the late Joe Paterno, since they decided to play their college football for the Lions before the Sandusky scandal became national news and Paterno was fired over it. But Lewis and Wartman never dismissed Penn State from their plans, as some others, including Mornhinweg, did. So they’ll also be part of the first recruiting class brought in by new head coach Bill O’Brien. In that sense, they’ll be among 19 special players who will bridge Penn State’s past with its present, coming in to help the school try to get back to normal on the football field while moving past such a dark period in Lions history. Triumph over tragedy? There’s only one way to do it. “Whenever I go out on the field,” Lewis said, “I go as hard as I can to try to help my team win.” These incoming freshmen will spend the next four or five years trying to win more than football games. They have to try and help a oncestoried program try to win back respect. Paul Sokoloski is a Times Leader sports columnist. You may reach him at 970-7109 or email him at psokoloski@timesleader.com.

LEGION BASEBALL

Stepniak lifts Back Mountain By DAVE ROSENGRANT drosengrant@timesleader.com

SWOYERSVILLE — Entering Wednesday’s start, Brian Stepniak hadn’t won in two previous outings during the American Legion season -- two Back Mountain losses. The senior-to-be at Dallas made up for it on Wednesday by tossing a complete-game, sevenhitter against Swoyersville to lead his team to a 3-2 win at Roosevelt Field. Stepniak threw 103 pitches in the effort and was able to command his throws exceptionally well. He didn’t walk anyone and only reached a three-ball count on four batters. The only inning he needed more than 15 pitches to get through was the sixth, as he entered that frame with a minuscule 66 pitches thrown. “I always try to keep it close to the strike zone and throw a lot of fastballs. It always works for me so I keep to it,” Stepniak said. With Back Mountain holding a 3-2 lead in the bottom of the sixth, Stepniak got in trouble when Swoyersville’s Bob Polachek and Matt Zielen (2-for-3) led off the consecutive singles and a wild pitch moved the baserunners to second and third with nobody out. The right-hander rebounded to strikeout the next three batters to get out of the jam. He went on to fan two more in a 1-2-3 bottom of the seventh and ended the game with nine punch-outs. Despite the hot and muggy afternoon, he wasn’t affected much. “It was getting hotter but I was just trying to keep drinking water and I also changed a few grips on my pitches to help me out,” Stepniak said. Back Mountain (5-4), the reigning Wyoming Valley American Legion League champion, picked up its third straight win as Stepniak wasn’t the only contributor as three hitters – Craig Skudalski, Greg Petorak and Connor Balloun – picked up three hits apiece. “I don’t want to make too much of (three straight wins) because we’ve had some real close games,” Back Mountain coach Tom Evans said. “But we’re winning and that’s the name of the game.” The first run of the game came across in the top of the

fourth when Pat Condo knocked in Petorak for a 1-0 lead. Swoyersville (3-5) answered right back in the bottom of the inning evening the score at 1-1 on a sacrifice fly by Evan McCue. The teams exchanged runs again in the next inning. Petorak laced a run-scoring hit for Back Mountain and Swoyersville’s run came in on an error. With the score knotted at 2-2 in the sixth, Skudalski punched a single to score Brian Goode for a 3-2 lead. Swoyersville had opportunities besides the aforementioned sixth inning as it left six runners on base. “We just didn’t execute today and that’s the difference in close games,” Swoyersville coach Gary Gavrish said. “It’s not for a lack of effort that’s for sure. You just have to execute in close games.” Back Mountain 3, Swoyersville 2 Back Mountain ab 2 4 4 2 4 3 3 3 2

Valley West. “I work on the West Side, so it wasn’t like if a job opened in Montrose I could take it,” Appel said. “Because O’Reilly was made up from four, five feeder schools, you had to bring kids together from different schools. At Valley West, until they get to middle school, it’s similar. I would guess they took that (experience with players from different areas) into account. “At O’Reilly, I also had to keep tabs on all the schools, not just the high school team. I wasn’t just a coach, I had to manage the entire program.” The new coach was selected by the board from 10 applicants.

Board member Thomas Pieczynski was satisfied with the selection. “He’s been very successful,” Pieczynski said. “He did very well at Bishop O’Reilly. He’s very personable and very good with the kids.” Appel inherits a program has just five players with at least seven varsity games of experience. The team returns just 38 percent of its offense from its division championship squad. John Gill Jr., Gordon Dussinger, Brian Dubaskas, Gary Evans, James G. Fender, Pieczynski, Gary Richards and David James Usavage all voted in favor of the personnel matters listed in Item 7 of their

June agenda, which included a list of coaches for approval. Board member Joseph Mazur was absent from the meeting. Other coaching moves confirmed at the board meeting included the retention of varsity cross country head coach Anthony Dicton, boys soccer head coach Charles Whited and girls soccer head coach Mike Davitt. The board also approved the resignation of Joe Czopek as girls volleyball head coach. Czopek has accepted a position at Wilkes, but will continue to lead the boys program at Valley West. Robert Tomasak was named the new coach of the girls volleyball team.

PLAYOFF

The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the commissioners did not want to reveal many details before talking to their bosses. “I am delighted,” said SEC Commissioner Mike Slive, who has supported a four-team playoff for years and whose league has won the last six BCS titles. “I am pleased with the progress we have made. There are some differences, but we will work them out. We’re trying to do what is in the best interest of the game There was some debate about whether to have semifinal sites rotate between the major bowls

or link the sites of the games to traditional conference affiliations. By linking sites to leagues Southeastern Conference teams could host games at the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans and Pac-12 and Big Ten teams could host games at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif. But the logistical issues that come with not having the sites for the semifinals set in advance were too big a problem. Now it will be possible for Ohio State and Oregon to play a semifinal in Miami, the site of the Orange Bowl. How the teams will be selected has also been hotly debated; the

“I think we’re very unified,” Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany said. “There are issues that have yet to be finalized.” The commissioners have been working on reshaping college football’s postseason since January. The meeting Wednesday was the sixth formal get-together of the year. They met for four hours and emerged with a commitment to stand behind a plan. They refrained from providing specifics of that new structure in

their announcement. Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott did say the two semifinals would be worked into the existing major bowls and the site of the national championship game will be bid out similarly to the Super Bowl. People with firsthand knowledge of the decision tell The Associated Press the semifinals of the proposed plan would rotate among the major bowls and not be tied to traditional conference relationships. They also said that under the plan a selection committee would choose the schools that play for the national title.

Jack Cust snapped the 2-2 tie in the top of the sixth inning with his team leading 14thhome run for a 3-2 SWB lead. The lead for the Yankees lasted until the home half of the seventh inning when Louisville picked up three runs off reliever Chase Whitley (5-3). The Bats loaded the bases against Whitley with two out in the frame and Corky Miller got home a pair of runs on a single off the glove of a diving Brandon Laird at third giving Louisville a 4-3 lead. A fielding error by second baseman Corban Joseph allowed another run to score to make it 5-3.

try to succeed has to give the best of themselves, and art has pulled the best out of myself.” Neiman’s paintings, many executed in household enamel paints that allowed the artist his fast-moving strokes, are an explosion in reds, blues, pinks, greens and yellows of pure kinetic energy. He has been described as an American impressionist, but the St. Paul, Minn., native preferred to think of himself simply as an American artist. “I don’t know if I’m an impressionist or an expressionist,” he told the AP. “You can call me an American first. ... (but) I’ve been labeled doing neimanism, so that’s what it is, I guess.” He worked in many media, producing thousands of etchings, lithographs and silkscreen prints known as serigraphy. But his critics said Neiman’s forays into the commercial world minimized him as a serious artist. At Playboy, for example, he created Femlin, the wellendowed nude that has graced the magazine’s Party Jokes page since 1957. Neiman shrugged off such criticism. “I can easily ignore my detractors and feel the people who respond favorably,” he said. Neiman was fascinated with large game animals, and twice current Bowl Championship Series uses a combination of polls and computer rankings. There are still major details to be worked out, such as who exactly makes up the selection committee, but college football will take a page from college basketball, which uses a committee of athletic directors and commissioners to pick the teams for its championship tournament. Scott has pushed for conference champions to be given preference for the playoff, but said he was comfortable that a committee would emphasize that and strength of schedule. He stopped short of saying the committee

traveled to Kenya to paint lions and elephants “in the bush” in his trademark vibrant palette. But it was the essence of a basketball or football game, swim meet or cycling event that captured his imagination most. “For an artist, watching a (Joe) Namath throw a football or a Willie Mays hit a baseball is an experience far more overpowering than painting a beautiful woman or leading political figure,” Neiman said in 1972. With his sketchbook and pencil, trademark handlebar mustache and slicked back hair, Neiman was instantly recognizable. At a New York Jets game at Shea Stadium in 1975, fans yelled, “Put LeRoy in,” when the play wasn’t going their way. Neiman’s decades-long association with Playboy began in 1953 following a chance meeting with Hugh Hefner. It was the start of what he called “the good life” and inspiration for much of his future work. He regularly contributed to the magazine’s “Man at His Leisure” feature, which took him to such places as the Grand National Steeplechase and Ascot in England, the Cannes Film Festival in France and the Grand Prix auto race in Monaco. Neiman was a self-described workaholic who seldom took vacations and had no hobbies. He worked daily in his New York City home studio at the Hotel des Artistes near Central Park that he shared with his wife of more than 50 years, Janet. was part of the proposed plan. “My position has evolved on that,” Scott said about the selection committee. “There’s a positive impression about the role that the basketball committee has played for basketball, and I think there’s been a consensus that the current (football) system is pretty flawed in a lot of way.” The 12-member BCS Presidential Oversight Committee meets Tuesday in Washington. The commissioners and Swarbrick all stressed that ultimately the decision lies with the presidents. And that they will have more than just one model to talk about at their meeting.

The Phillies surround Placido Polanco after the Rockies’ Todd Helton missed tagging first base to allow the winning run to score in the ninth inning on Wednesday, in Philadelphia.

Rockies’ error is divine for Phils PHILADELPHIA — Todd Helton missed tagging first base to allow the winning run to score on Placido Polanco’s grounder in the ninth inning and the Phillies rallied to beat the Rockies, 7-6. After Dexter Fowler hit a tiebreaking RBI single off Jonathan Papelbon (1-2) with two outs in the ninth, the Phillies got a clutch, two-out hit of their own in the bottom half. Rafael Betancourt (1-3) retired the first two batters before Ty Wigginton singled. Pence doubled off the wall in left to score Wigginton. Carlos Ruiz was intentionally walked and Shane Victorino hustled out an infield single. Polanco hit a grounder to shortstop Marco Scutaro whose throw to first was a bit high, but Helton caught it and had time to beat a hustling Polanco. He stretched for first and missed. Helton, a multiple Gold Glove Award winner, was charged with his second error of the season. Braves 10, Yankees 5

NEW YORK — Jason Heyward hit two of a record nine homers at the new Yankee Stadium and the Atlanta Braves beat the New York Yankees 10-5 in the sweltering heat Wednesday. Freddie Freeman, Martin Prado, Heyward and David Ross all connected off Phil Hughes (7-6) to build a 6-1 lead on a sticky, 94-degree afternoon. Mets 4, Orioles 3

Dillon Gee extended the Mets’ shutout streak to 29 innings before Baltimore broke through late, and New York held off the Orioles for a threegame sweep. The Mets nearly shut out the Orioles for the third straight day. Wilson Betemit hit a tworun homer in the eighth and Steve Pearce drew a basesloaded walk in the ninth before Brian Roberts grounded out to end it. Brewers 8, Blue Jays 3

MILWAUKEE — Yovani Gallardo pitched into the seventh inning and Ryan Braun hit one of Milwaukee’s four homers in a win over Toronto. Gallardo (6-5) went 6 2-3 innings, giving up three runs and seven hits with two walks and seven strikeouts. Gallardo’s outing provided some much-needed rest for an overworked bullpen. Royals 2, Astros 1

HOUSTON (AP) — Bruce Chen pitched into the sixth inning on three days’ rest and Brayan Pena drove in a run to help Kansas City beat Houston.

Merion preps to host U.S. Open

Three decades after last hosting the event, the course is back in the spotlight. By BOB LENTZ Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Merion Golf Club’s rich history is undeniable. Now, the club that boasts Jones, Hogan and Nicklaus among its past champions is prepared to add to its honor roll. The venerable course once thought to be too short and too compact to stage the USGA’s national championship is back in the spotlight and less than a year away from hosting the 2013 U.S. Open. The Open’s return to Merion has been a long time coming — 32 years to be exact. The primary question facing the membership and the USGA was whether the course could challenge the long-

hitting, modern day player and accommodate the trappings that go with an Open. And after more than a decade of preparation and a number of successfully staged championships, the membership and USGA are confident on both counts. When the players arrive in suburban Philadelphia next June they’ll be greeted by the club’s red wicker basket-topped pins and “white faces of Merion” sand hazards. They’ll also be teeing it up on basically the same layout that played such a large role in golf’s past. “There’s so much tradition and history,” said Reg Jones, the USGA’s senior director of U.S. Open Championships. “It’s one of the places in the golf world you hear footsteps; you go there and hear history.” Merion is where 14-year-old Bobby Jones played in his first

U.S. Amateur and then completed the “Grand Slam” in 1930. It’s where Ben Hogan claimed the 1950 Open a little more than a year after surviving a horrible car crash. It’s where Jack Nicklaus fired four rounds in the 60s for the U.S. in winning the World Amateur Team Championships, and where 11 years later he lost to Lee Trevino in a playoff in the 1971 Open. In one of golf’s most enduring photos, Hogan is pictured, from behind, hitting a 1-iron from Merion’s 18th fairway to a green ringed by spectators in the ’50 Open. And on a lighter note, before the start of the playoff in1971, Trevino pranked Nicklaus, tossing a rubber snake at his feet while on the first tee. Merion last hosted an Open in 1981, and David Graham was the winner. It wasn’t long before advances

in technology changed the game and the way it was played. Many thought shorter, traditional courses — like Merion — were rendered obsolete. It took time, but Merion worked its way back into Open consideration. The club put plenty of time and resources into restoring and lengthening the Hugh Wilson par-70 design to 7,000 yards. It hosted other USGA championships along the way, including the U.S. Girls Junior, the Amateur and Walker Cup. The defining moment for Merion’s eventual return came in the stroke play portion of the 2005 Amateur when just six players scored under par. Soon after, the club was awarded its fifth Open. Nicklaus weighed in last week. “The golf course has got some birdie holes on it, which Merion always has had,” Nicklaus said.

Lee Trevino jokes around during a practice round before the 1971 U.S. Open at the Merion Golf Club in Ardmore. Once thought to be too short and small to stage the USGA’s marquee event, the course is less than a year away from hosting the 2013 U.S. Open.

“But it’s got some really, really to find Merion being a piece of strong par 4s, which will balance cake. I think Merion will be a pretthat out. I don’t think you’re going ty good test.” 746 Garage Sales/ Estate Sales/ Flea Markets

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Venue Poor APR costs 10 teams postseason bids change sought for trial Academic scores will ban schools, including UConn, from the 2013 tournament.

Cal State Bakersfield, which became a full-fledged Division I member in 2010-11 and does not yet have a conference affiliation in basketball, could still be removed from the banned list because some of the school’s data is still being reviewed. Each of the schools fell below the mandated four-year cutline of 900 or the two-year cutline of 930 and will face additional sanctions. UConn, which had a four-year score of 889 and a two-year score of 902, must replace four hours of practice time with academic activities each week. The APR measures the classroom performance of every Division I team. This year’s data calculates rates from 2007-08 through 2010-11. Some schools, such as Arkansas’ men’s basketball team, avoided penalties on the four-year score (894) because it met the two-year requirement. One team, Jacksonville State,

OPELIKA, Ala. — An Alabama fan accused of poisoning two landmark oak trees at rival Auburn should not have to stand trial near the Auburn campus, especially since the defendant’s reported confession was published by the student newspaper, his lawyer argued Wednesday. His renewed venue change argument came on the second day of selecting jurors, whose numbers had been whittled from 85 to 51. He said the pool is tainted and all prospective jurors have said they were familiar with the case from the media. Nearly half said they or people close to them had participated in the rolling of the Toomer’s Corner trees with toilet paper, a longstanding tradition to celebrate Tigers victories. Harvey Updyke is accused of poisoning the century-old trees after the Tigers beat the Crimson Tide during Auburn’s 2010 national title season. The 63-yearold has pleaded not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect on charges that include criminal mischief and desecrating a venerable object. His attorney, Everett Wess, said before questioning of prospective jurors began Wednesday that Updyke denied telling The Auburn Plainsman that he committed the crime, but the newspaper stands behind its story. Prosecutors also argued they believed the report. Circuit Judge Jacob Walker refused to move the trial, but did impose a gag order that barred everyone in the case except the attorneys to speak to the media. The Plainsman quoted Updyke as saying during a break in jury selection Tuesday, “Did I do it? Yes.” “We stand behind Andrew Yawn’s reporting on the Updyke confession yesterday afternoon 100 percent. The information gathered was not prompted nor off the record,” Plainsman editor Robert Lee said in a statement, adding that the paper isn’t asserting his guilt or innocence. The reporter has been subpoenaed in the case. Computers will randomly narrow the number of jurors left Thursday to 33 including nine potential alternates. Prosecutors and defense each get to strike six jurors each from the 24 chosen as the regular pool to get it down to the 12 needed. Then each side gets to strike three from the alternates getting the number to three. Both sides knew picking jurors was going to be a challenge with the trial being held about a 20minute drive from the Auburn campus. The impassioned rivalry between the Alabama schools is known nationwide and culminates each season in the Iron Bowl for state bragging rights. Updyke is such a ’Bama fan that his children named Crimson Tyde and Bear (after legendary Alabama coach Paul “Bear” Bryant). The case of the poisoned 130-year-old trees at an entrance to campus has only inflamed the rivalry. Walker continued with jury selection despite the defense requests for a venue change and continuance. District Attorney Robbie Treese said investigators had questioned the reporter and said he had information that hadn’t been previously reported. He said that indicates the report’s “veracity is certainly better than what the defense claims.” “The defense is claiming it’s poisoned the jury pool when they themselves are the source of the poison,” Treese said.

“I hope my colleagues come to the realization that if they change the rules and make this in effect that the NCAA has to change the way it review the data,” Connecticut athletic director Warde Manuel said. “That’s the only fair thing to do.” It’s unlikely the committee will give in now. “I do not expect us to make any changes retrospectively,” said committee chairman Walter Harrison, president at the University of Hartford. “If we make changes,

and I’m not sure that we will, would be prospectively.” League officials will now have to adapt the new college basketball landscape. For the second straight year, the SWAC will delay the first 10team tournament in men’s basketball history. They had two teams banned last year and will return to that traditional eightteam format again next year because Arkansas-Pine Bluff and Mississippi Valley State will be ineligible.

Lawyer for Harvey Updyke, an Alabama fan, wants hearing away from Auburn campus.

INDIANAPOLIS — The NCAA’s new academic requirements could give new meaning to the madness of March. On Wednesday, a record 10 men’s basketball teams including three-time national champion Connecticut were banned from this year’s NCAA tournament because of poor Academic Progress Rate scores. The penalties affect seven conferences, each of which must adapt to a new landscape for their league tournaments. Four conferences — the Big East, Ohio Valley, Southland and Southwest Athletic — said the banned teams cannot compete in their league tournaments and the adjustments will take a toll. “We’ll have to adjust the bracket accordingly,” Big East associate commissioner for men’s basketball Dan Gavitt said Wednesday. “We would accommodate it in such a way that it would work. We would just have to eliminate a game and move someone up on the line.” Joining the Huskies on the sideline next March will be Arkansas-Pine Bluff, CaliforniaRiverside, Cal State Bakersfield, Jacksonville State, Mississippi Valley State, North Carolina-Wilmington, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, Toledo and Towson.

was punished for failing to meet the requirements it agreed to last year when it was given a waiver, the NCAA said on a conference call with reporters. Naturally, UConn drew the most attention as the first BCS school to face a postseason ban based solely on sub-par academics. The Huskies have been an NCAA tourney regular since 1990, winning 48 postseason games and national titles in 1999, 2004 and 2011. Seeing the Huskies make the list of banned teams was no surprise, though. UConn officials knew they wouldn’t make the cutline last year and sought for a waiver from the ban this spring when it asked the NCAA to use the two most recent years of data. That argument was rejected. The Huskies now plan to make one more at a hearing later this summer in front of the committee on academic performance.

Vikings’ Harvin asks for trade

Minnesota GM Rick Spielman says team has no interest in moving the wide receiver. By JON KRAWCZYNSKI AP Sports Writer

Disgruntled Minnesota wide receiver Percy Harvin has reportedly requested a trade from the Vikings.

lot of different things that have to be sorted out,” Harvin said Tuesday. “Just haven’t been really happy lately. We’ve got a couple of things to work on. I’m here in the classroom. We’ll go from there.” Harvin declined to go into detail about his grievances. He is due to make $915,000 in the fourth year of a five-year rookie deal. That total is much lower than veterans Michael Jenkins and Jerome Simpson, with neither coming close to his production on the field. But indications are that Harvin’s issues go far deeper than just money. His role in the offense, which diminished greatly last season when the Vikings reached the red zone, and the organization’s decision to go into a rebuilding phase coming off of consecutive last-place finishes in the NFC North combined with his modest salary all figure to factor into his mindset. Requesting a trade now would be a curious move if his main mo-

tivation is a new contract. Most players in similar situations first voice their concerns, then threaten to hold out before going as far as to request a trade. Spielman would not say if money was an issue, but also reiterated the organization’s approach to signing players to extensions. “Our philosophy has always been as players enter the last year of their contract we have a history of extending players going into the last year of their contract,” Spielman said. “And that’s been our history.” Harvin caught 87 passes for 967 yards and six touchdowns last season, rushed for another 345 yards and two scores and also returned a kick for a touchdown during a sensational year. “Percy is a phenomenal player on the field,” Spielman said. “And you look at his statistics he had last year and how important he is to this franchise. He’s a vital part of us moving forward with this team.”

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Percy Harvin was nowhere to be found at the Minnesota Vikings’ mandatory minicamp practice Wednesday afternoon, and no one seems to know when the star receiver will be back in purple. Unhappy with several issues with the team that drafted him in the first round in 2009, Harvin requested a trade, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue. After participating in a light walk-through practice on Wednesday morning with his teammates, Harvin wasn’t present for the full afternoon practice. Head coach Leslie Frazier declined to go into detail on Harvin’s absence and said he wasn’t sure if one of the team’s most important players would be around for the final day Thursday. “We’re going to talk more in detail,” Frazier said. “We have a lot of things to talk about.” Vikings GM Rick Spielman said the organization considers Harvin a cornerstone player and will work to resolve any issues that have upset him. “We have no interest at all in trading Percy Harvin,” Spielman said. “We drafted Percy Harvin here. He’s a key part of our organization. He’s a key part of our football team. Any issues that are out there, or reported, we always handle those internally, and we’ll continue to handle those internally.” The situation seemingly came out of nowhere this week, surprising many Vikings players and coaches when Harvin voiced his frustrations with the team Tuesday at the opening of minicamp. “I just put it this way: There’s a

Sallie Mae plans to hire 100 locally Casino hotel

B R I E F

P&G cuts forecast Procter & Gamble on Wednesday cut its fourth-quarter guidance, citing a range of factors including unfavorable foreign exchange, sluggish market share gains in developed markets and slowing growth in China. CEO Bob McDonald said there has been “slow-to-no” growth in gross domestic product in developed markets like North America and western Europe, and significant unemployment. Cincinnati-based P&G said revenue is expected to drop 1 percent to 2 percent compared with a prior outlook for a 1 percent to 2 percent increase.

Lexus tops quality list Toyota’s luxury brand Lexus had the fewest problems per 100 vehicles in a survey of 2012 models by research firm J.D. Power and Associates. The brand was followed by two other luxury carmakers, Jaguar and Porsche, which tied for second place. Cadillac and Honda rounded out the top five.

PLAINS TWP. – The building permit for the proposed hotel on the Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs Casino property should be issued next week, according to the Plains Township building code official. Ken Schefler said plans for the 238room hotel and convention center were sent to an outside review firm two weeks ago. They came back without notation or anything red-flagged. Schefler will now conduct a final review to make sure the plans adhere to township zoning ordinances. He said his initial review found no issues. “So far I don’t see any problems. They’re very good plans. It’s not every day you get a good set of plans like these,” Schefler said. If he issues the building permit, casino officials will be permitted to break ground and begin the construction process. The hotel will be seven stories and the estimated cost of the project is $45 million. Casino CEO and President Bobby Soper previously said ground could be broken as early as this year. Plans call for the hotel to be attached to the existing casino building near the entrance closest to the bus drop off. The total project is 180,000 square feet. Of that, the hotel is 140,000 square feet and a convention center will be 40,000 square feet. Soper said if groundbreaking occurs this year, the hotel could open by the end of 2013. At one point it was envisioned a third party to construct and/or manage the hotel; the new plan calls for the casino to secure financing, construct the hotel and manage it on its own.

FED EXTENDS INTEREST RATE PROGRAM

Linde donates $100,000 Linde Corp., Pittston, contributed $100,000 to the Community Match fund drive to help Endless Mountains Health System raise $5.6 million to build a new health clinic in Montrose. The drive was initiated by Cabot Oil, which donated $1 million to start the drive and promised another $1 million donation if local groups could raise $1 million. For Linde, this was the largest donation ever made by the company, said Bob McGraw, vice president. Ground has been broken for the clinic, located at 100 Hospital Drive.

Trading specialist Michael Guli works on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday, as news breaks that the Federal Reserve is extending a program designed to drive down long-term interest rates to spur borrowing and spending. Also, the Fed lowered its prediction for growth in 2012 to 2.4 percent, a half percentage point weaker than its previous forecast in April.

More Asian millionaires

If your browser is past its prime, do us all a favor and let it go

Asia’s millionaires outnumbered North America’s for the first time last year. The Asia-Pacific region was home to 3.37 million high net-worth individuals, who are defined as having at least $1 million to invest. Their numbers were up 1.6 percent from the year before, although their combined wealth shrank 1.1 percent to $10.7 trillion. North Americans still held the biggest share of world wealth at $11.4 trillion, even though it was down 2.3 percent.

THE ONLY THINGS that are certain in life are death and taxes, or so the old saying goes. But in the world of software, sometimes “dead” programs – outdated, obsolete or unsupported – continue to live on people’s computers for years, long after upgrades have replaced them. The popularity of some of these programs (Internet Explorer 6 or 7, for example) has forced programmers and designers to take them into account, often spending hours writing code to ensure that what they’ve produced will work properly with older software. This measurably inflates both the time and the cost of software and web development. For a long time, programmers grum-

TECH TALK NICK DELORENZO bled but accepted the situation. Now, fed up with all of the glitches and security holes, one company has started fighting back; it’s adding a “tax” for users of obsolete browsers. Kogan, an electronics retailer based in Australia, has decided enough is enough. If you want to use an old browser, they’re going to pass on the cost of supporting it. For users of Internet Explorer 7, which still enjoys a market share of around 1 in 50, Kogan has instituted a 7 percent sales tax. Naturally, the users of IE7 are annoyed. I can see where they’re coming

their machine has no defense against. I think Kogan is completely justified, in fact, almost obligated to charge a tax to users of old browsers. They’re doing the world a favor, and developers everywhere were thrilled to hear the news. If eBay or Amazon follows suit, not only would it save them millions of dollars, but it would also support security and privacy for everyone. Readers: If you’re still using Internet Explorer 6 or 7, please consider upgrading or using an alternative browser like Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. You’ll thank me. And in the long run, you might save yourself a whole lot of time and money.

Here comes round 2, but today will be the last day with intense heat and humidity. Under blazing sunshine, afternoon temperatures will approach the record high of 96 set back in 1953. Once again, the heat index, or how hot it really feels, will reach 99 degrees. Use a hair drier today only if it’s absolutely necessary. My garden is getting dry. In the past 16 days, I’ve measured only a half inch of rain. But with a cold front arriving Friday, rain is possible. Then, with cooler and less humid air in town by Saturday, the weekend is shaping up to be real nice. Another cold front will arrive on Monday. - Tom Clark

Breaking up? There’s an app for that By ALEXIA ELEJALDE-RUIZ Chicago Tribune

Relationships have their ups and downs, but at what point do the downs make the relationship more trouble than it’s worth? For Sarah Gray, the answer lay in a graph. As she grappled several years ago to determine whether there was more good or bad in her long-distance romance with her college sweetheart, the computer programmer created a Web tool to track her constantly shifting feelings. Twice a day, for six The app sends weeks, she you a reminder ranked how at the same time happy she every day to rate was with her how you’re feel- boyfriend andwroteexing about your planatory disignificant other. ary entries. At the end, the graph showed she was happy just 39 percent of the time, and spent the rest feelingneutralorunhappy.Reviewing the diary entries, she realized it wasn’t the distance but fundamental aspects of his personality that rubbed her the wrong way. “It took another couple of months for us to break up,” Gray said, “but I think I was clearer after that that it was on the way out.” Tohelpothermenandwomenin murky relationships see the forest through the trees, Gray in March launched the Should I Break Up With My Boyfriend? iPhone app (shouldibreakupwithmyboyfriend.com, 99 cents). The app sends you a reminder at the same time every day to rate how you’re feeling about your significant other — totally in love, feelin’ good, soso, feelin’ down, or totally over him — and offers a space to say why.

GLASSES ARE THE LATEST ‘IT’ ACCESSORY By ADAM TSCHORN

udging from the plethora of eye-catching eyewear that’s been getting face time over the past few years — be it on the European ready-towear runways or in the adjoining office cubicle — it’s clear that glasses have gone from nerd necessity to chic accessory. It’s a shift reflected in the current look-at-me trends — retro, vintage-inspired frames, chunky tortoise shells and geometric shapes that attract rather than deflect attention — and reinforced by the laundry list of fashion-focused brands with a presence in the eyewear arena. These include highend European luxury labels such as Prada, Giorgio Armani and Dolce & Gabbana as well as American contemporary brands Brooks Brothers, Tory Burch, Tiffany & Co. and Sperry Top-Sider, which aims to translate the brand’s footwear DNA into a line of li-

censed sunglass and ophthalmic frames due to hit the market next year. While it might seem logical to blame the deteriorating eyesight of the aging baby-boomer population or the ever-increasing computer- and smartphone-induced strain on our collective eyeballs, consumer behavior statistics don’t show a jump in the number of people who need prescriptions. What they do show, however, is an increase in the number of people who wear glasses without prescription lenses — presumably to look cool. Dorothy Parker famously observed, “Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses.” How did we go from that image to bespectacled bombshells? How did eyewear go from the disguise that turns See GLASSES, Page 2C

Young drivers hit the brakes By JOAN LOWY Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The share of people in their teens, 20s and 30s with driver’s licenses is dropping. It’s a trend seen not only in the United States, but in other wealthy nations as well. Recent studies at the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute show the share of 16- to 39-year-olds with driver’s licenses declined markedly between 1983 and 2008. The greatest decreases were among drivers in their late teens and early 20s. For example, among Americans ages 20 to 24 in 1983, nearly 92 percent had driver’s licenses. Twenty-five years later, the share fell to 82 percent. Researchers say that cyber contact may be reducing the need for young people to socialize face to face. Other possible factors include the economy and more young people choosing to live in cities.

Husband’s freedom from controlling wife is worth the price of divorce Dear Abby: Over the years you have published letters about the hard work done by wives who stayed at home and advised that husbands should share the load. I am a male. When I was married I got up with the kids, made breakfast, packed their lunches, cleaned the kitchen and left for work. I did 90 percent of the grocery shopping and prepared dinner four or five nights a week. On weekends, I cut the grass, trimmed shrubs and repaired whatever needed fixing. I took care of the cars and found time to have fun with the kids. My wife liked late-night TV and was too tired to get up in the

DEAR ABBY ADVICE morning. She also loved the morning talk shows and shopping. She did laundry, but I paid for a cleaning lady because vacuuming hurt her back. When I resisted her controlling ways, she would become violent. She was jealous, dependent, possessive and angry. After 29 years, I finally decided to get a life. She got the house, the money, the anger and the dog. And me? I got the happiness! — Free Man in Florida Dear Free Man: It is no longer shocking to hear about long marriages be-

ing dissolved. In your case, while the financial penalty may be sizable, it appears to have been worth it. When a relationship becomes one-sided and counseling can’t resolve the conflicts, divorce is the answer. Because of the years of domestic abuse you endured, I hope you will consider counseling so your future relationships will not be adversely affected by your long, unhappy marriage.

often enough. I feel it is disrespectful of Tammi not to respond to my texts, even with a simple “OK” or “fine.” She texts her friends all the time, so I don’t think five seconds is too much to ask of her. I’m willing to compromise and text Tammi every other day or every three days. She is my only child and I want to know that she is well. Am I being unrealistic or asking too much? — Tammi’s Mom in New Jersey

Dear Abby: My daughter, “Tammi,” is attending college in a neighboring state. When I text or call her, she doesn’t respond. I have asked her to please just text me back saying she’s OK. She says my texting her once a day is “overkill” and I should stop doing it so often — once a week is

Dear Mom: Tammi may be your only child, but she’s a young woman now, and she needs room to grow up and establish some emotional independence. What you’re demanding is an example of helicopter parenting. If you are worried for your daughter’s safety, ask her to carry a

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your creative juices are flowing, which helps you in every area of life. Even seemingly noncreative areas of life will be improved by your imaginative approach. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You have an easy way of relating with people, and you’ll fall into a pleasant social groove. A Leo will help you connect with your heart and trust its guidance. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ve been in a powerful cycle, and now you’re ready to rest a bit. You don’t have to have the answers, solve the problems or do much of anything at all. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You can deliberately create joy in any moment, and that’s precisely what you set out to do at the beginning of the day. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There is a rule for everything, from eating bread to launching spacecrafts. When in doubt, learn the rule. You can always break it if you want to. Better to break a learned rule than one you don’t know about. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your friends know you well enough to sense when you’re hiding something, trying to spare their feelings or simply not “into” an activity. It feels great to have people around with whom you can be completely honest. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Highlighted today is a certain longing in your heart that makes you unique. It’s a nameless craving for nothing in particular and everything at once. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Imagination and practicality are

qualities that seem sometimes to be at war with each other. But there is a way to make the imaginative and the practical work together. And when it happens, it’s brilliant. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You know where you belong in the big picture, but there are too many options in the little picture for you to be completely sure of how best to spend this day. Trust that you are divinely guided. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Resentment and regret are energy drains that are easily plugged today with a healthy dose of neglect. Refuse to give your attention to the bitter feelings, and they magically heal. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Level with someone about what you’d really like out of the relationship. Why not have both your needs and your wants met? You deserve to be happy! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You need a break from all the emotional work you’ve been doing lately. Make plans to be near people who are easy to be with. Laughter and breezy conversations are restorative. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 21). You may not feel like you’re on a quest at the start of the year, but you’ll gather information, inspiration and team members in the next seven weeks. By midAugust, your mission is under way. A financial exchange keeps your project rolling and growing through September. December brings family fun. Aries and Aquarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 30, 2, 14 and 29.
