FAIRVIEW TWP. – Facing a budget shortfall that promises teacher layoffs, representatives from Crestwood School Board and the teacher union met Monday

and swapped savings ideas. Offers from both sides began by freezing teacher salaries for a year, but diverged dramatically beyond that point, and the session ended with no consensus. “We offered a simple three-year freeze,” Board Member Gene Mancini said. “Their proposal is so complicated you need a road map to follow it.” “Right now, they are playing games

Dallas Twp. proposes pipeline settlement

Zoning could be required for pipeline, metering station work off Hildebrandt Road. By SARAH HITE shite@timesleader.com

DALLAS TWP. – Solicitor Thomas Brennan publicly announced Tuesday the township is proposing a “settlement agreement” with Williams Field Services LLC for pipeline and metering station construction off Hildebrandt Road. Brennan said in ongoing discussions with the company, several factors would contribute to an agreement that will be presented to the board of supervisors at its July 5 meeting. While the township still takes the position that zoning is required for pipeline construction, Brennan said much of pipeline safety regulations are controlled by the federal government and not the township. He said zoning would be a requirement of the settlement if certain conditions are met, including the acknowledgment that land development proceedings must continue, clear setbacks are consistent with zoning in terms of construction, the township is ensured the company

will follow all federal requirements in relation to the pipeline, and a reduction in the metering station plans is also agreed upon. Brennan said removing elements from the proposed metering station plans would leave “little more than a meter for gas” at the site. He added the metering station application would still need to be decided by the zoning hearing board. Brennan also said he will ask resident Rob Friedman’s attorney, Earl Phillips of the Connecticut-based firm Robinson and Cole, to review the settlement. According to the firm’s website, Phillips has experience in environmental and natural resource law. “Taking community concerns into consideration has always been an important part of our process,” said Williams spokesperson Helen Humphreys in an emailed statement. “Tonight’s vote will provide both parties an opportunity to address the concerns of Dallas Township officials and residents in an effort to find common ground.” Residents have expressed concerns about natural gas plans from Williams and anoth-

er company, Chief Gathering LLC, because of their proximity to the Dallas School District campus. Williams submitted plans earlier this year to construct a metering station about 1,800 feet from the district property line, and Chief’s metering facility would be 1,300 feet away. The companies want to tap in-

to the Williams-owned Transco interstate pipeline, which runs from Texas to New York, to bring natural gas from wells in Susquehanna County to market. Attendees gathered outside the municipal building, as Brennan refused to answer any questions related to the announcement.

“I’m always leery of a deal,” said resident Jim DeMichael. Wayne Dottor, of Fairground Road, said he’s worried a settlement may open the door for more gas companies to conduct business in the township. “There’s got to be more gathering companies,” he said. “This is going to be a hotspot.”

Dallas schools still oppose gas work

Meeting questions school district’s stand on shale work near school site. By SARAH HITE shite@timesleader.com

DALLAS TWP. – The Dallas School District will continue to “raise objections if needed” regarding proposed natural gas activities planned for an area about1,300 feet from the campus property line, Jack Dean of Elliot, Greenleaf & Dean, the district’s attorney in hearings before the Dallas Township Zoning Hearing Board said during Monday’s school board work session. Concerned parents attended the meeting to question the board’s stance in an ongoing zoning hearing for Chief Gathering LLC’s application for special exceptions to build a natural gas metering station near the four Dallas schools. Kim Jacobs, speaking on behalf of the Dallas Parents-Taxpayers Group, contended the natural gas companies proposing metering stations and pipelines in the area, Chief and Williams Field Services LLC, believe removing those materials is more costly and less efficient for their business.

W H AT ’ S N E X T The next Dallas School Board meeting will be held at 7 p.m. on July 11 in the administration building.

She said companies have a moral and ethical responsibility to spend the “$50 million” to relocate metering station equipment in order to protect the safety of nearby students and employees. “Our children are worth so much more than that,” she said. “Please do not put a price on them.” Board President Bruce Goeringer said the company has made changes to its plans as a result of the district’s actions. After four continued hearings, the company has cancelled plans for a compressor station at the site and agreed to remove the flammable odorant mercaptan and a 100foot communications tower from metering station plans. Dean said the metering station plans feature a container of biodegradable glycol to be stored on-site, which the district will further investigate. Other residents wanted to address an agreement mentioned at the board’s May regular meeting. A draft agreement from Chief

Gathering LLC stated the company would remove mercaptan at 49 Hildebrandt Road, and both the company and the school district would be subject to certain terms and conditions as a result of approving the agreement. Solicitor Benjamin Jones III clarified the board did not agree to the document because there were “so many questions unanswered” and it was presented to the board as prepared by a Chief attorney. Dean said the issue is up to the township Zoning Hearing Board to decide, but the district will fight against approval. “…It’s an uphill battle, but we’re getting where we have to be,” said Dean. In other news, Bob Nesbit of Crabtree Rohrbaugh and Associates gave the board an update concerning the high school construction project. He said the new building is “virtually finished” and demolition has begun on the old building. Superintendent Frank Galicki announced there will be a dedication at 2 p.m. August 28 for the new building. The board hired Martin O’Hora as the high school technology education teacher at a salary of $35,000.

Insurance executive pleads no contest Brian Murray of Scranton will face sentencing on theft and conspiracy charges.

Times Leader staff

An insurance executive from Lackawanna County will not challenge charges he stole more than $1.3 million in premium payments that were collected from universities, a hospital and a casino. Brian James Murray, 68, of Scranton, pleaded no contest to four counts of theft and a single count of criminal conspiracy in Lackawanna County Court on Tuesday, said Nils Frederiksen, spokesperson for the state Office of Attorney General. Murray was chief executive officer at Murray Insurance Agency on Spruce Street, Scranton. He and his business filed for personal and corporate bankruptcy in Sep-

tember 2009. An investigation by the Attorney General’s office accused Murray of diverting more than $1.3 million in premiums that should have been forwarded to other insurance companies as payment for policies issued to numerous organizations, including Mount Airy Casino, the University of Scranton, St. Joseph’s University, Loyola College in Maryland, Moses Taylor Hospital in Scranton and Phoenixville Borough in Chester County. Murray and his agency became the subject of an investigation by the state Insurance Department for permitting an employee to sell insurance even though the employee did not have a license. According to a consent order from the state Insurance Department, which revoked Murray’s Insurance license on July 31, 2009, he did nothing when he became aware that the employee, identi-

fied as Christine Oliver-Shean, stole about $500,000 from clients. Oliver-Shean, 52, of Scranton, continued to sell insurance at Murray’s agency after she surrendered her license in March 2008, according to the consent order. Oliver-Shean pleaded guilty in Lackawanna County Court on June 13 to three counts of theft, and one count each of insurance fraud and criminal conspiracy. Murray’s wife, Diane Murray, 67, pleaded no contest to a single count of criminal conspiracy on Tuesday. A no-contest plea carries the same weight as a conviction, but the defendant does not admit guilt. A sentencing date for the Murrays and Oliver-Shean has not been scheduled. Frederiksen said restitution will be addressed in pre-sentence petitions.

Hanover Area still looking to cut costs Overall, transportation accounts ship. Financial errors found in “I just want to get it out for my for about 5 percent of the total $25 routine audits show district peace of mind as well as everyone million annual budget. may have lost state subsidies. else’s,” Scott said of her intentions According to Deborah Jones, diBy STEFFEN LIZZA Times Leader Correspondent

HANOVER TWP – With the deadline for adoption of a 2011-2012 budget just days away, the Hanover Area School Board and area residents continue to discuss ways the district can save money. Some of the proposed cuts in the 2011-2012 spending plan include the closing of Lyndwood Elementary School, a wage freeze for nonunion employees, and an early retirement program that will retire19 employees who will not be replaced. At a school board meeting on June 9, Deborah Scott brought to the board’s attention financial errors found in routine audits going back10 years. She believes these errors could have resulted in more than $289,000 in state subsidies being lost in overpayment, underpayment, or forfeited all together from 1999-2010. On Monday night, Scott presented the board with a yearly breakdown of subsidies she said were lost due to issues such as errors in reporting daily bus route mileage and failure to bill pupil member-

for the meeting. “The same errors seem to be made over and over again.” “Some of these errors were made 12 years ago,” district Business Administrator Thomas Cipriano said, acknowledging that there were issues going back to the ’90s but, as he sees it, not lately. According to Cipriano, when the state performs an audit and presents its findings, the school must provide a “corrective action plan” that explains any issues discovered in the audit and how the district will remedy them. This plan is signed and approved by the auditors who return years later to ensure that the changes have been implemented correctly. “Going back 20 years, we have corrected those findings,” Cipriano said. The average transportation costs since 2005-2006 for the district was about $1,326,393. This number includes costs from the transportation provider as well as Luzerne Intermediate Unit 18. The average total subsidy from both public and non-public school transportation over that same period was $589,618, resulting in an average total cost to the district of $736,774.

rector of transportation, the district has made efforts to reduce costs over the last five years by eliminating day care services, reducing field trip and sports activity transportation services, and reducing the amount of transportation provided by the LIU 18. Ever since Jones began with the district in 2005-2006, it has implemented the use of computer software that helps lower costs while maximizing reimbursements. Once this software was adopted, the district has reportedly gained in reimbursement every year. Scott also called into question a 2007-2008 district manager’s response to a state report that included an increase in charter school cost from $50,000 to $430,000. The manager accounted for this drastic rise stating that there was an influx of 85 to 90 charter students. Both Scott and board members agreed the total number of charter students is closer to 12 to 16 students in a given year. “We will get accurate information as to what was the actual expense for that year in the fall,"” Solicitor George Shovlin said in response to the varied number of students.

LOCAL Couple jailed on drug charges Cop refueling cruiser in Plains Twp. makes arrests; heroin, marijuana allegedly found in vehicle. By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

PLAINS TWP. – A police officer refueling his cruiser ended up arresting two people after he found more than 500 heroin packets and a large amount of marijuana in a vehicle early Tuesday morning, according to charges filed. Nicole Holland, 31, of Myrtle Beach,

S.C., and Scott Morrison, 37, address listed as homeless, were arraigned in WilkesBarre Central Court on two counts each of possession with intent to deliver a controlled Holland substance and possession of a controlled substance. They were jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $10,000 bail, each. According to the criminal complaints:

Trooper: Suspect called self homicidal

An officer pulled into the Sheetz, state Route 315 and Jumper Road, to refuel his cruiser when an employee raised concerns about two suspicious people, identified as Holland and Morrison, in the parking lot at 2 a.m. The employee told the officer Holland and Morrison had been outside the business for over an hour and Holland had used the restroom for 30 to 45 minutes. Holland told the employee she was using a phone, and told the officer she was sick and needed to use the restroom, the criminal complaints say.

Holland claimed Morrison was driving her Toyota and driving her to South Carolina. Police said three syringes and three empty heroin packets were found on Morrison during a pat- down search, according to the criminal complaint. Holland allegedly turned over suspected marijuana. Police said in the criminal complaint that Holland permitted officers to search her vehicle, which resulted in the discovery of 518 heroin packets, 254 grams of suspected marijuana, numerous syringes, rice and a digital scale.

Barletta knocks immigrant status bill Lawmaker says feds’ “E-Verify’’ system would undermine state, local governments’ authority. By JONATHAN RISKIND Times Leader Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON – A proposal by a powerful House Republican to establish a mandatory federal system requiring businesses to verify a potential hire’s immigration status would gut the enforcement powers of states and localities, says Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Hazleton. The freshman lawmaker, who is continuing in Congress a focus on the immigration issue that began when he was mayor of Hazleton, is criticizing legislation unveiled last week by the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, GOP Rep. Lamar Smith of Tex-

as. The proposal by Smith, not considered a liberal on the issue of immigration reform, would turn the voluntary “E-Verify” system that alBarletta lows businesses to electronically verify through the use of Social Security numbers a worker’s eligibility to be legally employed in the United States into a mandatory federal program. What Smith has dubbed the “Legal Workforce Act” includes provisions to: require that all U.S. employers use EVerify to check the work eligibility of new hires; increase penalties on employers who knowingly violate E-Verify requirements; create a fully electronic employment eligibility system; and give federal authorities new identity

“The tiny amount of authority that the bill appears to give to states is illusory.”

theft tools, including requiring the Department of Homeland Security to let individuals “lock” their own Social Security number to guard against it being used by imposters to falsely verify work eligibility. But the proposal could negate state Lou Barletta and local powers, U.S. Rep. even as the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling upholding an Arizona law penalizing employers for knowingly hiring illegal immigrants could lead to a similar Hazleton ordinance being allowed See BARLETTA , Page 11A

By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – On May 1, 2009, Stephen Polishan saw Elvis Riccardi leaving a Family Dollar store in WilkesBarre around 1 p.m. Polishan identified himself as a Pennsylvania State Trooper, and then Riccardi reached into his pocket and pulled out a knife, Polishan testified Tuesday. “He made a slashing motion to his neck,” Polishan said in the second day of testimony in Riccardi’s capital murder Riccardi trial. Riccardi, 33, is charged in the death of 34-year-old Donald Skiff, who went missing on April 27, 2009. Skiff’s body was found in an area off Suscon Road in Jenkins Township in June 2009. Testimony will continue this morning before a jury of 10 women and five men. One alternate was excused Tuesday after notifying Senior Judge Joseph Augello she had been in an accident. Polishan testified Riccardi ran away from him, across four lanes of traffic on South Main Street in Wilkes-Barre and into a nearby parking lot, where Polishan said he asked Riccardi what he was doing after observing a “severe” slash on Riccardi’s neck. “I’m homicidal.

The two men were previously charged by the state police for the burglary at the American Sport Shooting Club near Brodheadsville on Dec. 29. State police alleged Sharr Sharr and Toney were driving on state Route 209 and decided to burglarize the shooting club after passing the business. Sharr repeatedly rammed a garage door at the rear of the building with his vehicle until the door buckled, according to the state police criminal complaints. Sharr and Toney were apprehended after a pursuit that began in Dallas on Dec. 30. Arrest records indicate an off-duty

Harveys Lake police officer spotted Sharr driving a stolen vehicle near state routes 118 and 415. Sharr abandoned the vehicle leaving Toney behind, according to arrest reToney cords. Dallas police alleged Sharr entered a Sterling Avenue house through a window and stole ignition keys to a Mitsubishi Montero. He abandoned the Mitsubishi on Covell Street in WilkesBarre, where he was found hiding under a grill cover behind a house. After Sharr’s capture, state police searched Toney’s residence, a house on Parry Street in Luzerne, and a residence on East Beatty Street, Wilkes-Barre,

from which they recovered five firearms allegedly stolen from the Monroe County club. State police allege Sharr and Toney sold three firearms stolen from the club at a motel in Plains Township. Those three firearms were recovered at the East Beatty Street house, along with 27 packets of crack, 12 packets of powder cocaine, 35 ecstasy tablets and other contraband, according to arrest records. Sharr is also facing numerous burglary and theft charges for home break-ins in Bear Creek Township and Mountain Top, court records state. If convicted on the federal charge, Sharr and Toney face a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Scranton.

The state House of Representatives has voted to amend the Workers’ Compensation Act to aid firefighters who develop cancer as a result of their service, Rep. Tarah Toohil, R-Butler Twp., said today. House Bill 797, of which Toohil is a co-sponsor, designates cancer as an occupational disease for firefighters who have served four or more consecutive Toohil years. “Our firefighters run into burning buildings and risk their lives to save us,” Toohil said. “Their service and sacrifice on our behalf is deserving of our respect and gratitude. This legislation assures they will be protected if they develop cancer as a result of their service.” Under the bill, firefighters who develop cancer will be covered if they have served for four or more years and have been exposed to a Group 1 carcinogen in the line of duty. The bill requires that firefighters successfully pass a physical examination revealing no evidence of cancer prior to asserting a claim, or prior to engaging in firefighting duties. “Our firefighters deserve to know they will be protected if they get sick as a result of their duties,” Toohil added. House Bill 797 now goes to the state Senate for consideration. NANTICOKE

Obama to withdraw Afghan troops

President is expected to announce timetable for drawdown when he addresses the nation tonight. By ROBERT BURNS and JULIE PACE Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is expected to withdraw roughly 10,000 U.S. troops from Afghanistan this year, with about 5,000 forces leaving this summer and an additional 5,000 Americans coming home by the end of the year, a senior U.S. defense official said Tuesday. Obama could also announce a timetable for recalling the 20,000 other troops he ordered to Afghanistan as part of his December 2009 decision to send reinforcements to reverse the Taliban’s battlefield momentum. The offi-

cial spoke on condition of anonymity in order to discuss the plans before Obama’s formal announcement. . Obama spokesman Jay Carney said TuesObama day that the president had finalized his decision on the withdrawal plan and would address the nation from the White House at 8 p.m. today. He said the president informed his national security team of his plans during a White House meeting Tuesday morning. While Carney would not discuss the details of Obama’s decision, he said the drawdown set to begin next month puts the U.S. on a path toward giving Afghans control of their own security by 2014.

A reduction this year totaling 10,000 troops would be the rough equivalent of two brigades, which are the main building blocks of an Army division. It’s not clear whether Obama’s decision would require the Pentagon to pull out two full brigades or, instead, a collection of smaller combat and support units with an equivalent number of troops. Obama was given a range of options for the withdrawal last week by Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. and NATO commander in Afghanistan. The military has favored a gradual reduction in troops but other advisers were advocating for significant decrease in the coming months. The president has said he favors a “significant” withdrawal, his advisers have not quantified that statement. At a democratic fundraiser in Wash-

ington Monday night, Obama said that by the end of the year, “we will be transitioning in Afghanistan to turn over more and more security to the Afghan people.” Following the announcement on the drawdown, Obama will visit troops Thursday at Fort Drum, the upstate New York military base that is home to the 10th Mountain Division, one of the most frequently deployed divisions to Afghanistan and Iraq. While much of the attention is focused on how many troops will leave Afghanistan next month, the more telling aspects of Obama’s decision center on what happens after July, particularly how long the president plans to keep the surge forces in the country. Gates, who is retiring from the Pentagon next week, has said he believes the initial drawdown should be “modest.”

Gaza homes to be built

the largest housing projects in the troubled seaside territory in years, military authorities said Tuesday. The body that coordinates Israeli activities in the Palestinian areas said it has authorized the construction of the 1,200 homes, as well as 18 badly needed schools, in southern Gaza. Israel, which controls the cargo crossings into Gaza, has largely banned the entry of construction materials into the coastal strip since Hamas militants seized control of the area in 2007. Israel fears items like cement, metal and glass could be used for military purposes by Gaza’s Hamas rulers.

He the commander of the space shuttle Endeavour, exchanging wedding rings with his wife before his final mission in space. Now, he is retiring to be with her full time and the two are collaborating on a memoir that will tell a story, their story, that Kelly says the public hardly knows. The book, currently untitled, will be an intimate chronicle of everything from their careers and courtship to the Jan. 8 tragedy when a gunman shot Giffords during a political event in Tucson, Ariz. Scribner will publish the book at a date to be determined. BAGHDAD

Blasts kill 22 in Iraq

Twin explosions, including a suicide car bombing outside a government compound, killed at least 22 people Tuesday in a rare attack in the mainly Shiite south that signaled insurgents could be trying to expand their reach. The violence comes as Iraqi officials are weighing whether to ask some of the roughly 47,000 U.S. forces still in the country to stay past this year. Many are concerned Iraqi forces aren’t ready to take over their own security, and al-Qaida-linked militants will try to take advantage of the vacuum. Nobody immediately claimed responsibility for Tuesday’s strike in Diwaniyah, 80 miles (130 kilometers) south of Baghdad. But the fact that it was a suicide bomber targeting an Iraqi government building pointed to Sunni extremists such as al-Qaida in Iraq. TEANECK, N.J.

Vice sting nets professor

A New Jersey physics professor who dabbled in scuba diving and harbored dreams of working in the theater had another hobby, New Mexico police say: operating a sophisticated prostitution website that may have catered to as many as 200 prostitutes and 1,200 clients. David Flory, 68, was arrested Sunday at a Starbucks in Albuquerque on 40 counts of promoting prostitution. The professor, who has taught at Farleigh Dickinson University since 1969, has a vacation home in Santa Fe. A specialist in elementary particle theory, Flory also spent a decade in the school administration, where he said he spent time working on human resource database systems and measuring academic productivity — skills that were evident from the three-tiered system police say he created for rating the privileges of johns who used the prostitution service.

In the most significant change to U.S. cigarette packs in 25 years, the FDA’s new warning labels depict in graphic detail the negative health effects of tobacco use.

FDA issues graphic cigarette labels New packaging leaves nothing to the imagination when it comes to negative effects from smoking. By MICHAEL FELBERBAUM AP Tobacco Writer

RICHMOND, Va. — Rotting teeth. Diseased lungs. A corpse of a smoker. Nine new warning labels featuring graphic images that convey the dangers of smoking will be required by the Food and Drug Administration to be on U.S. cigarette packs by 2012. Other images include a man with a tracheotomy smoking and a mother holding a baby with smoke swirling around them. The labels will include phrases like “Smoking can kill you” and “Cigarettes cause cancer.”

The labels, which the FDA released Tuesday, are a part of the most significant change to U.S. cigarette packs in 25 years. They’re aimed at curbing tobacco use, which is responsible for about 443,000 deaths in the U.S. a year. The labels will take up the top half — both front and back — of a pack of cigarettes and each will include a national quit smoking hotline number. Warning labels also must appear in advertisements and constitute 20 percent of an ad. Cigarette makers have until the fall of 2012 to comply. “These kind of graphic warning labels strengthen the understanding of people about the health risks of smoking,” FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg said in an interview with The Associated Press. “We clearly have to renew a nation-

al conversation around these issues and enhance awareness.” Mandates to introduce new graphic warning labels were part of a law passed in 2009 that, for the first time, gave the federal government authority to regulate tobacco, including setting guidelines for marketing and labeling, banning certain products and limiting nicotine. The announcement follows reviews of scientific literature, public comments and results from an FDA-contracted study of 36 labels proposed last November. The legality of the new labels is part of a pending federal lawsuit filed by Winston-Salem, N.C.-based Reynolds American Inc., parent company of America’s second-largest cigarette maker, R.J. Reynolds; No. 3 cigarette maker, Greensboro, N.C.-based Lorillard Inc.; and others.

Iran’s fashion crackdown hits male hair, jewelry

By ALI AKBAR DAREINI and BRIAN MURPHY Associated Press

TEHRAN, Iran — It’s an Iranian rite of summer: Islamic morality squads pressure women to keep their headscarves snug and coverings in place, and after a few extra tugs for modesty’s sake the crackdown inevitably fades. This year, however, Iran’s summer fashion offensive appears bigger and more ominous, and has expanded the watch list to men’s hairstyles and jewelry considered too Western. No official explanation has appeared for the sterner approach this season. But it fits with the steady push by Iran’s ruling theocracy to reel back the liberal fashion trends that began in the 1990s — such as body-hugging coverings for women and earrings and tattoos for men — and to sweep away non-Islamic

Nearly two-thirds of Iran’s parliament have signed a statement supporting the latest fight against “Western cultural invasion.” It’s blamed for such challenges to Islamic dress codes as women’s headscarves pushed back and pants cropped short to show as much leg as possible.

Some 70,000 police officers have been deployed in Tehran this month to enforce the dress codes, the state news agency IRNA said. “Confronting those who are not sufficiently veiled is a legitimate demand of the people,” said Iran’s police chief, Gen. Esmaeil Ahmadi Moghadam, who was added to the U.S. sanctions list earlier this month for his alleged role in the political clampdowns after Ahmadinejad’s disputed re-election in 2009. The fashion targets this year also include men’s hairstyles and “un-Islamic” bling such as necklaces. Last year, a fashion watchdog group gave the Culture Ministry a guide to acceptable men’s haircuts. On the blacklist: ponytails, a spiked style known locally as the “rooster,” and the retro “mullet” do, with its cropped front and cascading back.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s health care law would let several million middleclass people get nearly free insurance meant for the poor, a twist government number crunchers say they discovered only after the complex bill was signed. The change would affect “I don’t early retirees: A married couple generally could have an comment annual income of about on the $64,000 and pros or still get Medicons of caid, said officials who make policy, but long-range cost that just estimates for the Health and doesn’t Human Servic- make es department.

That’s because, in a major change from today, most of their Social Security benefits would no longer be counted as income for determining eligibility. It might be compared to allowing middle-class people to qualify for food stamps. Medicare chief actuary Richard Foster says the situation keeps him up at night. “I don’t generally comment on the pros or cons of policy, but that just doesn’t make sense,” Foster said during a question-and-answer session at a recent professional society meeting. “This is a situation that got no attention at all,” added Foster. “And even now, as I raise the issue with various policymakers, people are not rushing to say ... we need to do something about this.” Indeed, administration officials and senior Democratic lawmakers say it’s not a loophole but the result of a well-meaning effort to simplify rules for deciding who will get help with insurance costs under the new health care law. Instead of a hodgepodge of rules, there will be one national policy. “This simplification will stop people from falling into coverage gaps and may cause some to be newly eligible for Medicaid and others to no longer qualify,” said Brian Cook, spokesman for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. But states have been clamoring for relief from Medicaid costs, complaining that just these sorts of federal rules drive up spending and limit state options. The program is now one of the top issues in budget negotiations between the White House and Congress.

Authorities are now discussing whether some of Valdez’ friends should be arrested and charged with obstruction of justice for hampering a police investigation. “We’re not sure yet how to deal with it,” said Croyle. “We’re talking about it and trying to figure out how do we address the kind of conflict that it presents,” Croyle said. Valdez could be facing new charges stemming from his actions during the standoff, including fire his handgun at police, Croyle said.

Luzerne County officials have given Scott Spinucci until the end of the month to supply a video of the River Common, they said during Tuesday’s county Flood Protection Authority meeting. Authority Solicitor Stephen Menn told the authority he sent Spinucci a letter indicating that the county will likely resort to litigation if the video is not provided by June 30. Spinucci continues to “maintain that he is owed money,” Menn said. “Until I have a video in hand, I won’t even discuss any additional monies with him,” Menn told the authority. “That’s how I left it with him, and I haven’t heard anything else from him.” The county Flood Protection Authority has paid Spinucci’s Integrated Media Services, also known as Apple Cart LLC, $65,333 since 2007 to produce the roughly 15-minute video, and a final payment of $3,667 has been retained until it is delivered, officials said.

Some people offered words of support, and others pleaded for him to “do the right thing.” Court records show Valdez has a criminal history, including convictions for aggravated assault and domestic violence in front of a child. In March, prosecutors filed felony and misdemeanor drug possession charges against Valdez. A judge issued a warrant for Valdez’s arrest after he missed a June 1 preliminary hearing in the case. On Friday afternoon, Ogden police tried to serve Valdez with a felony drug warrant for the missed court appearance. Valdez barricaded himself inside the Western Colony Inn. “I’m currently in a standoff ... kinda ugly, but ready for whatever,” Valdez wrote in his first post at 11:23 p.m. “I love u guyz and if I don’t make it out of here alive that I’m in a better place and u were all great friends.” Valdez said in posts that he was with a woman named Veronica.

Authority members said they will vote at next month’s meeting to file litigation if the video is not furnished. In other business, board members discussed the future composition of the authority board after the switch to home rule government in January. Menn and authority Executive Director Jim Brozena said the current members are permitted to serve until their terms expire. The three commissioners, county Planning/Zoning Direc-

tor Adrian Merolli and assistant county engineer Chris Belleman serve on the board. Belleman’s term expires at the end of this year, and Merolli’s term expires at the end of 2012. Commissioners Maryanne Petrilla, Thomas Cooney and Stephen A. Urban will be continue to serve on the authority after their commissioner terms end on Jan. 2, unless they decide they don’t want to keep their authority seats, said Brozena and Menn. Urban’s seat expires in 2013, followed by Cooney’s in 2014 and Petrilla’s in 2015. The new 11-member county council will appoint people to serve in expired seats on county boards and authorities after Jan. 2. The authority oversees the Wyoming Valley Levee system and other flood-related programs. Brozena also agreed to meet with residents of the low-lying Port Blanchard section of Jenkins Township this evening to discuss options to elevate or sell their flood-prone homes. Township Supervisor Stanley Rovinski requested the meeting.

Job figures disputed Report says new hires are not same as new jobs. Coalition claims economic growth.

By STEVE MOCARSKY smocarsky@timesleader.com

HARRISBURG - The Keystone Research Center in a policy brief Tuesday asserts that the number of jobs created in Pennsylvania by the Marcellus Shale boom has been muchlessthancitedinrecentnews reports. The brief claims that figures of approximately48,000newjobscreated between late 2007 and 2010 are “exaggerO N T H E W E B ated claims” that rely on Visit www.timesdata about leader.com to read “new hires,” the Keystone which are Research Center Brief and econom- not the same ic data provided by as new jobs. the Marcellus “New Shale Coalition. hires” track additions to employment but not separations due to resignations, firings or replacements. Between the fourth quarter of 2009 and the first quarter of 2011, Marcellus industries added 48,000 “new hires,” while all Pennsylvania industries added 2.8 million “new hires.” But “as Pennsylvanians well know, the commonwealth has added nothing like 2.8 million jobs to the economy since 2009” and, in fact, only 85,400 new jobs were created, according to a research center press release. Between the fourth quarter of 2007 and the fourth quarter of 2010, according to the latest report from the state Department of Labor and Industry’s Center for Workforce Information and Analysis, all Marcellus Shale-related industries added 5,669 jobs. Six industries in what CWIA defines as the “Marcellus Core” industries added 9,288 jobs during this period. During the same three years, 30 industries in a group CWIA calls “Marcellus Ancillary” actually lost 3,619 jobs, according to the brief. Overall, Marcellus job growth is small, accounting for less than one in 10 of the 111,400 new jobs created since February 2010, when employment bottomed out after the recession, the report finds. The report also states that any economic benefit from the Marcellus Shale must be balanced against the impact of drilling on other industries, such as tourism and the Pennsylvania hardwoods industry. To sustain Pennsylvania’s strong economic performance, policymakers should adopt a drilling tax or fee that helps finance job-creat-

ing investments in education and the economy, as well as providing resources to protect the environment and address infrastructure needs, the report recommends. Marcellus Shale Coalition President and Executive Director Kathryn Klaber called the brief a “thinly veiled, politically timed attack on an industry that is creating familysustaining jobs for men and women across the commonwealth.” Klaber said Marcellus development is fueling economic growth, employment and investments in roads and infrastructure at rates not seen in decades. “According to the Department of Labor and Industry, unemployment in counties with Marcellus development remains below the state average. Along Pennsylvania’sNorthernTier,wheredevelopment is most concentrated, employment has jumped 1,500 percent since the end of 2007,” Klaber said. Furthermore, Klaber said, Marcellus operators are investing billions of dollars into Pennsylvania’s economy – from constructing state-of-the-art operating facilities, to building new offices, to leasing land for responsible development and driving economic growth in our rural communities. “Take into account the more than $1 billion in taxes generated by Marcellus activity over the past half-decade, stable and affordable energy prices made possible by responsible natural gas development, and the ancillary employment impacts cascading through businesses across the commonwealth, and only then can the full act of Marcellus development be realized. Once again, the rhetoric of opponents of Pennsylvania’s clean and abundant energy supply is simply not squaring with reality,” Klaber said.

RICCARDI Continued from Page 3A

Joseph Plant entered the room and began talking about a small hand print – he believed to be either a woman’s or child’s – on Skiff’s vehicle. Plant said the print was similar to Riccardi’s, Polishan testified, when Riccardi stood up and said he wanted to be more cooperative with police. “That’s when (Riccardi) had a medical episode…a seizure…and fell off the chair face first,” Polishan said. Trooper Gerald Williams testified he was in the room interviewing Riccardi with Polishan, where Riccardi told him that on April 27 he was at his mother’s home in Shickshinny. Williams testified Riccardi told him he was picked up by a friend he only knew as Jesse, and that the two went to Martini’s Bar in Shickshinny with Riccardi’s two-foot long python. It wasn’t until much later, Williams said under questioning by Riccardi’s attorney Mark Bufalino, that he learned Riccardi had a blood-alcohol level two times the legal limit the day of the Family Dollar incident and subsequent interview with police. Prosecutors also called several local bank executives to testify about transactions made to Skiff’s account on April 27 and 28. Two credit union workers testified about two successful withdrawals made from Skiff’s account, $100 and $300, and six unsuccessful withdrawals made after 1 a.m. on April 28. Two videos were shown to members of the jury, including a video at 11:58 p.m., depicting a man who resembles Riccardi driving Skiff’s vehicle and using an ATM machine, with a figure in the extended cab portion of Skiff’s Ford Ranger. Another video, taken around 1:08 a.m., shows a man resembling Michael Simonson driving Skiff’s vehicle and talking to a passenger, with no figure in the extended cab portion of the truck. Simonson, Riccardi’s one-time co-defendant, pleaded guilty to a second-degree murder charge in Skiff’s death and was sentenced in August to life in prison.

Clinical residencies excite historic class Inaugural TCMC students face revolving shifts in six areas in third year of medical school.

time, so it’s just going to be reinforced over that year.” The Commonwealth Medical College, which has campuses in Scranton, Wilkes-Barre and Williamsport, was founded to train doctors to serve the region, with a focus on holistic patient care and improving the overall health of the community, and

interim Dean and President Dr. Lois Margaret Nora said the school’s unique clinical rotation curriculum was tailored to that goal. “We want to grow doctors who are used to caring for patients in the context of the whole person; their family; their community,” Nora said at

a reception for third-year students held Tuesday at the Volunteers in Medicine Clinic on Pennsylvania Avenue. Rather than spending a few weeks with a patient, then moving on to a new clinic, students at Commonwealth will track the health of a panel of patients throughout the two

years of their residency. Students in the inaugural class said they were attracted by that aspect of the program. “We didn’t come to medical school to study in a classroom and read textbooks,” said thirdyear student Mary Ellen Lisman, 24, of Wilkes-Barre. “We came to interact with patients and provide care.” “Knowing the community and seeing how much help it needs; if we don’t provide more doctors, our community is going to suffer,” added classmate Meg Mathewson, 24, of Dallas. Karcutskie put it more succinctly. “You feel like you’re a doctor,” he said. Of 65 total students in the school’s inaugural class, 20 will study out of the school’s Wilkes-Barre Regional Office, working with doctors, physician’s assistants and other caregivers at area hospitals and clinics, including Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center, Hazleton General Hospital, the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in WilkesBarre and the Wyoming Valley Health Care System. All told, more than 700 caregivers, and more than 250 in the school’s Wilkes-Barre region, volunteer their time as mentors.

Offers from both sides began by freezing teacher salaries for a year, but diverged dramatically beyond that point.

general fund, and can expect to get $400,000 more in property taxes because several properties that had been tax exempt under the state “Keystone Opportunity Zone” program will lose that status this year. Mancini said the $3 million is from a bond issue specifically for capital projects such as renovation or construction and cannot be used for other purposes, and that the fund balance is about 5 percent of the district’s total budget, a small cushion for emergencies that should not be depleted. He said the expected money from the KOZ properties

is included in the preliminary budget. Mancini said state funding has become so unpredictable it’s unreasonable to ask the district to guarantee anything beyond the upcoming school year, and that extending the current contract robs the board of its chance to negotiate a new deal in three years. With health insurance and pension costs rising dramatically, he said such a move makes little sense. The union also asked for the ability to convert additional sick days to personal days, and to increase the maximum of personal

days that can be accrued. Mancini said such promises would help negate any savings from the deferral of raises. Cowley said the union has been “willing to talk” and has offered two proposals, but that the board “shut us down. “They are basically asking teachers to shoulder all of the cuts instead of putting it across all line items,” she said. Mancini sees it exactly the opposite. “We’ve turned over every rock looking for savings,” he said. “We weren’t looking for teacher cuts, just a little shared pain.”

WILKES-BARRE – Northeastern Pennsylvania’s first homegrown class of medical students are stepping out into the real world. On Tuesday, students in the school’s first class celebrated the start of their third of four academic years and of their clinical residencies. Students will practice under the supervision of caregivers at area hospitals and clinics, focusing on six specialty areas: family medicine, internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, OB/ GYN and psychiatry. But unlike most other medical schools, where students work at one clinic for a few weeks then move on to the next, Commonwealth students will spend four hours a week at each of their six rotations throughout the year. “You kind of have that exposure where you’re not going to forget anything,” said third-year student Charles Karcutskie, 25, of West Wyoming. “You’re not doing it every day, but you’re doing it for a much longer

Dave McLaughlin-Smith has notified teachers who face the loss of their jobs. Mancini said the board’s proposal guarantees $2 million in savings over three years, enough to assure “stability to the district, the taxpayers and, frankly, the teachers.” Mancini said such a move would guarantee there would be no furloughs this year and decrease the odds of any layoffs the following two years. Cowley said the union countered by offering to freeze raises and tuition reimbursement for the coming school year, saving the district $216,721. The pay-

All told, the union says its plan would save the district $907,000 over four years. Cowley also noted the district has about $3 million sitting unused in a separate fund, more than $2 million in reserve in the

An Open Letter to Students and Taxpayers of the Crestwood School District: As you are all aware, the Crestwood School District will be sending out furlough notices to a minimum of eight teachers. In conjunction with these furloughs, full day kindergarten will be changed to half day kindergarten, the elementary band program and middle school Spanish are being eliminated, and high school English courses are being restructured. This is a drastic change that will play out over the academic lives of each child affected. No one wants furloughs, especially the Crestwood Education Association. A furlough means one of our teachers is out of work, but more than that, a furlough means a cut in your child’s education. Furloughs mean fewer programs, larger class sizes and fewer extracurricular activities. To limit or possibly prevent program cuts, the CEA developed a solution that would save the school district approximately one million dollars. For this savings we asked the district to extend our contract for one year. Apparently this extension was too much to ask for one million dollars in savings — too much to save the quality of education of your children ... our children. This plan was formulated by teachers to save education. Test scores at Crestwood are phenomenal year after year. The teacher’s proposal would have guaranteed future years of the high quality education that Crestwood families have come to expect and deserve. Please know that we are always willing to work with the board of education to save programs. Come stand with us for our children, for your children! Please attend the Crestwood School Board meeting this Thursday, June 23 at 6:30 p.m. and wear red to support public education.

to go into effect, Barletta says. He notes that the Supreme Court has ordered the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals to revisit its ruling against the 2006 Hazleton ordinance – a law spearheaded by Barletta while he was mayor but that has never gone into effect denying business permits to employers who hire illegal immigrants. The federal government won’t do a good job enforcing a mandatory nationwide E-Verify system, while Smith’s bill pre-empts the ability of states and cities like Hazleton to enforce their own regulations, Barletta said. Earlier this year, Barletta introduced a bill seeking to strip all federal funding from “sanctuary” cities that fail to enforce federal immigration laws. He said then he also was forming an “Immigration Reform Caucus” for freshmen lawmakers, which thus far has attracted five members. Now, Barletta is attacking Smith’s E-Verify bill. “The reason we got in this mess with illegal immigration is because the federal government didn’t enforce the laws we already had,” Barletta said in a phone interview Monday. “My fear is we will have another federal law and at the same time stop states and local municipalities from protecting themselves in case the federal government doesn’t enforce the law, and I don’t believe they will. My concern is that this will be a step backwards by taking away the rights that states have to protect themselves.” Barletta charged that pro-immigration rights groups “want to take away tough state and local laws” and that many business groups want to shield employers from facing tough sanctions if they hire illegal immigrants. But groups such as the National Immigration Law Center also are against the bill. Smith’s proposal is part of an “anti-immigrant agenda” that uses a flawed current E-Verify voluntary system that mistakenly ensnares legal residents and doesn’t address the broader issue of what to do about millions of illegal immigrants who hold “vital jobs that keep the country running,” policy director Tyler Moran said last week in a statement. Smith’s bill, Moran says, is trying to “place as many immigrants as possible into the deportation pipeline” but would instead prevent many legal workers from getting jobs and force illegal workers into the “cash economy, resulting in billions of dollars of lost tax revenues.” The group Federation for American Immigration Reform, which advocates stricter enforcement of immigration laws, lauded Smith’s bill when it was unveiled last week, saying a federal E-Verify system is “a critical and

quires legal status in order to get a job,” Dane said in an interview this week. “The best possible bill is one that makes E-Verify mandatory nationally but allows states and localities to enforce (their own laws) if the federal government doesn’t. There is still time and opportunity to improve what is already a good bill to make it a win-win for the federal government and states.” Smith says his proposal would

pre-empt state E-Verify laws but still “respects states’ and localities’ inherent authority to condition business license issuance and maintenance on compliance with the federal E-Verify mandate.” A national immigration attorney and blogger, Angelo A. Paparelli, agreed, saying Smith’s bill “would permit the proliferation of state laws and local rules mandating E-Verify use as recently blessed by the Supreme Court” ruling in the Arizona case. Smith says a federal E-Verify system would open up more jobs for legal U.S. residents and impose a uniform nationally mandated system where there an uneven system where some businesses, states and cities attempt to verify work eligibility and others don’t do much at all. “The Legal Workforce Act will help ensure that employers from every state are on equal footing when it comes to hiring employees,” Smith said when he unveiled the bill. It “balances immi-

gration enforcement priorities and legitimate employer concerns. It gives employers a workable system under which they cannot be held liable if they use the system in good faith.” Barletta said that Smith has been on a quest to pass a federal E-Verify law, but that in the process agreed to the state preemption clause because that is the only way large business groups would agree to back the legislation. “This is a good bill gone bad,” Barletta said in the interview on Monday. He called Smith’s assertion that state and local governments would retain some power to enforce their own laws misguided. “The tiny amount of authority that the bill appears to give to states (taking licenses from employers who fail to use E-Verify) is illusory,” Barletta said last week in a statement when the bill was introduced. “As written, the bill states the federal government must enforce the E-Verify

law against a particular business before a state or municipality can take away the business’ license. If the federal government refuses to act, states and municipalities can’t take any action.” Another Wilkes-Barre area lawmaker, freshman Rep. Tom Marino, R-Lycoming Township, is on the House Judiciary Committee and said in an interview Monday , “We have to do something regarding illegal immigration.” But Marino, interviewed at a press conference in Kingston on an unrelated topic, said he was not yet ready to take a stand for or against Smith’s E-Verify bill. “I’ve been talking with my colleagues regarding the legislation,” Marino said. “We’ve had detailed conversations regarding the legality of the legislation… (and) We want to be assured that the purpose and intent is what we want.” Times-Leader reporter Bill O’Boyle contributed to this story.

necessary step toward controlling illegal immigration and protecting American workers.” However, the federation echoed Barletta’s criticism that the legislation would pre-empt state and local enforcement laws. A Senate version of the federal EVerify proposal introduced in the Senate by GOP Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa doesn’t preempt state and local laws, but has less chance of being approved by the Democratic-led Senate, so FAIR wants to work to modify Smith’s proposal, in the hopes it would be approved by the GOP-led House, said Bob Dane, a Federation for American Immigration Reform spokesman. While many in Washington are skeptical any major immigration legislation will pass this year, Dane said his group holds out hope for a federal E-Verify system that lets states and cities continue to enforce their own laws, as well. “There is no logical basis for anyone to oppose a bill that re-

OTHER OPINION: SUPREME COURT

Wal-Mart spared in gender lawsuit

HE SUPREME Court ruled Monday that female employees of Wal-Mart could not band together to sue over what they said was pervasive gender discrimination. The legal issues were complicated, but the central question was a simple one and the court got it wrong. The overall decision was 9 to 0 in favor of Wal-Mart. But on the issue of whether female employees might seek to join together because of a common experience of discrimination, the vote was 5 to 4. Class-action suits of the kind Wal-Mart employees wanted to bring allow an avenue of relief for far-flung employees who might not be able to afford to bring lawsuits on their own. In seeking to have a court certify 1.5 million present and former female Wal-Mart employees as a class, the plaintiffs amassed impressive evidence of pervasive discrimination. There were data showing widespread disparities in pay and

promotion; there were personal anecdotes of discrimination; and there was a study of corporate culture, which was characterized, an expert suggested, by gender stereotyping. (One plaintiff said she was told to "doll up" and "blow the cobwebs off her makeup.") Justice Antonin Scalia belittled this evidence, saying it didn’t prove the "commonality" that is necessary under the law to create a class. This takes far too narrow a view of commonality and would protect a companywide policy of gender or racial discrimination so long as it was manifested in different settings and job categories. Whether Wal-Mart engages in pervasive sex discrimination is an accusation, not an established fact. The Supreme Court should have allowed the company’s female employees the opportunity to join together to make their case. Los Angeles Times

ne of the great issues of the day revolves around the needs of disadvantaged and low income families, still reeling from the depths of recession, especially the high unemployment and underemployment that impacts much of this region. While our agency is small, there is a rising tide of emotional difficulties that surround many people and families across Wyoming Valley as well as the remainder of the northeastern Pennsylvania region. When you add other organizations to the role of Jewish Family Service such as Family Service Association and Catholic Social Services, the triumvirate agencies that serve families reaches high proportions of the population. Add entities such as Children’s Service Center, Luzerne County Children and Youth, the Area Agency on Aging for Luzerne/Wyoming Counties and others, and you have a constant flow of support for improving the quality of life of families. One of the major issues is government financial support in light of what happened to budgets at all levels of government and that of many nonprofit agencies, all of whom have contributed one way or another to the needs of those facing great challenges. Recognizing the problems that face people with emotional and physical issues, there is a need to develop many more partnerships and create new and exciting innovations, increasing a better family life structure throughout the Valley. Here are some suggestions. • Develop a regional plan for social services that clearly spells out ways organizations, government, and the private sector can come together for the betterment of family life. • Utilize the professional talent that exists in social services to assist and guide people through hardship. • Ensure that new initiatives such as Dinners for Kids that serves hot meals to youngsters in the Plymouth area expand across Wyoming Valley in coming months and years and become a stable force for meeting the needs of families. • Organize an annual assessment of the needs of families in Wyoming Valley (and perhaps the entire region), and determine what steps can be taken to improve their quality of life. There is outstanding capability in the Valley and region to accomplish this task, and either the Public Policy Institute for Economic Development or the Pennsylvania Economy League could undertake such an evaluation each year. • Establish an annual Family Awards Program that showcases at least ten families that have enhanced their status in the

community of Wyoming Valley through a nominations process and an impartial judging system. Specific guidelines would have to be prepared to enable this. Challenges lead to what is called a SWOT analysis. This means calculating the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats that affect family life. Such a role would be an important factor in overcoming some of the difficulties that affect so many lives in the Valley with a Heart.

Turning on, dropping out just doesn’t compute

remember when I stopped using my brain for mathematical functions. That was when the calculator was introduced. No more addition, subtraction, multiplication or division. That was when we had school eight hours a day including a half hour lunch and two 15 minute breaks, five days a week. Now, there are computers. More machines, fewer brains and less school. There is the Internet. There is access to illegal drugs; hashish, LSD, coke, meth, heroin and “E.” Previous and present legal drugs are Phusion Projects, Four Loco, Tilt, Blast, Jungle Juice, Purple Haze, K2, Spice, Uphoria, and “suicide in a bottle.” Now for the quiz: turn off the electricity and remove all batteries. How much is 43 times 17? You have five seconds. Gregory M. Suda Nanticoke

Legislators need to keep schools funded and open

he more schools that close in the Wyoming Valley the more our community loses itself. That is the basic fact about school closures. State Rep. Gerald

DOONESBURY

Mullery, D-Newport Township, and State Sen. John Yudichak, D-Plymouth Township, are at the forefront of the school closure movement, and I wonder if they are even aware of it. You would think they would be aware of something that’s been kicked around for 25-plus years under the state Capitol dome. You would think that by growing up in the same community, they would be a little more aware of what’s been happening to the quality of education in the Wyoming Valley. Hello? Did you guys notice the empty buildings that once had the capacity to teach our children? The more schools that are available, the more teachers that we keep from losing due to a school closing, and the smaller the student-to-teacher ratio. How about the distance to travel to school? All of this makes a difference in giving an education to our children. School vouchers will help stop the disparity of the education system in the Wyoming Valley. I implore you all in the Wyoming Valley to act now. Do not sit back on SB1 because it is “Catholic-this”, or “non-union-that.” That is not the case here! We can have it all, both public and private institutions, arts and academics and sports. It begins with SB1 allowing the parent that meets conditions, to choose for themselves where their child can attend school. SB1 is also going to increase money to education through the Education Improvement Tax Credit, by establishing a higher limit that a business can give I can not understand how fast and furious the wave of criticism came for Bishop Martino in 2006. Here we are only 5 years later, more school closings by Bishop Bambera, and where is the clamoring in support of SB1? Please, wake up and make some noise or we will have lost the singularly most comprehensive education reform. What is the alternative? Force the hand of school districts with Charter Schools? Charter Schools are great, but opening up one is not nearly enough The school I went to when in Plymouth Township is closed. The school voucher system could have prevented that from happening. Saint Mary’s School was then a parochial school that closed circa 1996; not because a lack of students enrollment, but essentially a lack of funding available through the church and diocese. Rep. Mullery and State Sen. Yudichak need a wake up call now! Real and effective education reform will come about if our leaders in Harrisburg would only stop listening to the self serving union PAC and we tell them to support SB1. Mike Young Hanover Township

CHARGES

deeds in their assigned territories to identify potential new construction, Alu said. The field investigators often know what new property and additions they’ll find before they leave their desks because the county’s mapping department has aerial images of properties obtained from a state flyover in 2010. The computerized mapping program allows workers to compare the latest images to older ones to pinpoint new roads and structural changes. The $79.4 million assessment increase equates to roughly $414,300 in county tax revenue. Jenkins Township experienced the largest assessment increase since November – 3.8 percent. The township’s taxable property increased from $376.6 million to $391 million during the period, county records show. Township Supervisor Stanley Rovinski attributes the growth to residential construction, including new homes built at Wyndtree Estates and the Willow View Development. The township is not landlocked like some other municipalities in the county, he said. It is close to urban areas but still “semi-rural” and “quiet,” he said. “We’re turning into sort of a bedroom community. We’re not static. We have open areas everywhere,” Rovinski said. Tiny Jeddo borough near Hazleton had the largest assessment decrease since November – 1.4 percent. The borough also has the lowest overall assessment of the 76 municipalities in the county, at $3 million. Wright Township experienced the second largest assessment reduction, from $606.7 million in November to a current $598.8 million. Township Supervisor Daniel Frascella said new development has virtually halted due to the economy, with assessment challenges dragging down the tax base. Frascella said there’s room for growth in some residential areas and industrial sites at the Crestwood Industrial Park. “Hopefully things will turn around shortly, and everything will be back on the upswing,” Frascella said. While taxable property increased countywide, the value of tax-exempt property has decreased since November, the new reading shows.

WYOMING -- Even with a tax increase above the index to balance this years’ budget, the Wyoming Area School District will continue to face financial challenges. That was the solemn reminder at the end of the school board’s second special meeting to discuss the 2011-12 proposed budget Tuesday. Business Manager Tom Melone wrapped up a review of non-salary line items in next year’s budget by flashing ahead to the end of the 2013 budget. He said that assuming revenue sources remain relatively flat, cost increases for health insurance and retirement benefits alone could result in a

liam Costopoulos, said Monday in his closing that the payments from Hughes would “carry the day.” The $360,000 in payments over three years came with the eventual guilt of extortion and racketeering, which alone bring a maximum sentence of 100 years in prison. Smith said that abuse of power by government officials will not be tolerated, and the jury’s verdict in this case is proof. “Just maybe a public airing of the abuses of power that were shown here will help bring about a better day for the county government and the citizens of Lackawanna County…The federal agencies are here to stay and they’re here to make sure it is not tolerated,” he said. But the condemnation of the “sleazy” actions of Cordaro and Munchak, according to Smith, does not mean an outright end to corruption. “This investigation has concluded,” he said. “The larger group of investigations of corruption in the Middle District of Pennsylvania, particularly in Northeastern Pennsylvania, is continuing.” Both attorneys Costopoulos and Powell said appeals are almost certain. Until then, a sentencing date of Sept. 28 has been set by Senior U.S. District Court Judge A. Richard Caputo.

handed down. “I never took a dime from that Mr. Kalina,” he said, referring to the $60,000 total in cash payments government officials said he accepted from Highland Associates executive Don Kalina that resulted in the bribery, extortion and tax fraud counts against him. “I’m disappointed. I believe in the jury system, but I just can’t believe that they’d believe him over me… They did a financial colonoscopy on me, and they couldn’t find that money. I don’t understand. “Hopefully, my lawyers will do what they have to do.” Attorney Chris Powell, who represented Munchak, said he, too, was disappointed that his client was found guilty of federal charges. “We started this trial two weeks ago. I thought he was innocent then. I still believe he’s innocent today,” he said. Munchak reacted strongly to the first guilty verdict levied against him, saying, “What?!” in the courtroom as he stood near his attorneys. Four more guilty verdicts later, he was sitting down in his chair inside Cour-

budget shortfall of almost $783,000 at the end of the 2013 school year. Making matters potentially worse is the fact that the projected deficit doesn’t include any allowance for settling the teachers’ contract, which is in negotiation. “This is where we could be looking at (during next year’s budget process) even without addressing the salary issue,” said Melone. While some line items have changed, the 2011-12 budget’s bottom line has changed little since the proposed final budget was adopted May 23. The current version of the budget still calls for a 5.7 percent tax hike for district residents of Luzerne County and 6.1 percent for those who reside in

Wyoming County. The increases would bump taxes to 13.799 mills in Luzerne County and 71.7295 mills in Wyoming County. A mill is one dollar of tax for every thousand dollars of assessed property value. At a meeting earlier this month, Melone took the board through expenditures pertaining to contracted staff salaries, which are largely fixed costs and make up nearly 68 percent of the district’s expenses. For the second meeting, Melone walked the board through other cost areas.

He explained t the district has experienced increases in costs for services from the Luzerne Intermediate Unit, the vo-tech school, English as a second language services and alternative education for students with autism and other special needs. These increases in professional and technical services have added more than $370,000 to the budget, while increases in charter school tuition and a loss of state reimbursement for that tuition will cost the district an estimated $130,000, Melone said. The district expects to realize some savings in transportation costs, but more information on those costs won’t be available until transportation routes are drawn up in August, Melone said.

Philadelphia jumps all over St. Louis’ pen

WIMBLEDON

Tears of victory

Playing their first game without Albert Pulojs, the Cardinals lose to the Phillies. By R.B. FALLSTROM AP Sports Writer

ST. LOUIS — Jimmy Rollins and Chase Utley each had a two-run single during Philadelphia’s season-best nine-run eighth inning, lifting the Phillies to a 10-2 rout over the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday night. Carlos Ruiz had four hits and one of two bases-loaded walks in the eighth for NL East-leading Phillies, who have won Roy Halladay’s last seven starts but put it toPHILLIES gether too late for the right-hander to become the majors’ first 10game winner. Two days earlier, Cole Hamels missed his bid for CARDINALS No. 10 in a 2-0 loss at Seattle. Halladay allowed a run and four hits in six innings, matching his season low in his first official appearance in St. Louis but on the mound where he started for the American League in the 2009 AllStar game. He has worked six or more innings in 62 consecutive road starts, the majors’ best such streak since Walter Johnson put up 82 in a row from 1911-15.

Sides prepare for new talks

WIMBLEDON, England — Returning to Grand Slam tennis after a year away with health problems, Serena Williams opened her Wimbledon title defense Tuesday by beating Aravane Rezai in three sets — then burst into tears on Centre Court.

By BARRY WILNER AP Pro Football Writer

ROSEMONT, Ill. — The next time NFL owners meet over labor, there is hope it will be to ratify a new collective bargaining agreement with the players. Don’t get carried away thinking a deal is imminent. Optimism is in the air, for sure. That doesn’t mean the end of the lockout is at hand. Owners were briefed Tuesday on discussions for a new CBA that would net the players just under 50 percent of total revenues. Next up: more talks with the players in the Boston area. Several people with knowledge of the negotia-

After serving her 13th ace to close a 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 victory, Williams buried her face in her towel and sobbed from her courtside chair. She was still crying as she left the court, overcome with emotion after enduring a long layoff that included two foot operations and treatment for blood clots in her lungs.

See LOCKOUT, Page 4B

“I usually don’t cry ... but it’s just been so hard,” the four-time Wimbledon champion said. “I never dreamt I would be here right now. And then to win. I just wanted to win at least one match here.” Following Williams on Centre Court was Roger Federer, who began his chase for a record-equaling seventh Wimbledon champion-

ship by beating Mikhail Kukushkin of Kazakhstan 7-6 (2), 6-4, 6-2 in the wind. Second-seeded Novak Djokovic, playing for the first time since his 43-match winning streak was stopped by Federer at the French Open, sailed into the second round with a 6-4, 6-1, 6-1 victory over Jeremy Chardy of France. Djokovic dropped only 11 points on serve. Meanwhile, the sequel to the longest match in tennis history proved to be a quick, one-sided affair this time. Other men’s winners included three-time Wimbledon runner-up Andy Roddick and Juan Martin del Potro. Among the women, topseeded Caroline Wozniacki made a See WIMBLEDON, Page 6B

Norfolk’s Hughes homers, drives in six runs to knock off Yankees By DAVE ROSENGRANT drosengrant@timesleader.com

MOOSIC — One bizarre inning and one hot hitter doomed David Phelps and the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees. The right-handed starter allowed seven consecutive hits and four runs in the inning, including a three-run home run to Rhyne Hughes as Norfolk defeated the Yankees 8-1 on Tuesday night at PNC Field. But the runs and hits weren’t the strange part of the inning. The eeriness occurred when Phelps didn’t get any outs on batted balls. He got a lot of help from Tides baserunners in the stanza. Tyler Henson singled, but he took a wide turn around first base and was thrown out when he tried to get back. Then back-to-back hitters, Kyle Hudson and Matt Angle, each singled. But Phelps picked them both off.

TIDES

YANKEES

Hughes had the big blast of the inning, but he was just getting started. The left-handed designated hitter had run-scoring singles in the third and fifth off Phelps. Then in the eighth, he crushed a fastball from Andrew Brackman for his 10th home run of the year and his second of the night to finish the game 4-for-4 with six RBI. He paced the Norfolk offense, which pounded out 15 hits. See YANKEES, Page 4B

OPINION GIL LEBRETON

Realignment should be on MLB’s radar The highlight of the TV weekend was watching the Cubs and Yankees at Wrigley Field, partying like it was 1938. The low moment? Probably watching the Rangers’ Arthur Rhodes, meekly wielding his version of the “Boomstick.” I love interleague play. I was at the ballpark that night in June 1997, when the Giants and Rangers played history’s first interleague game, and the appeal of matching the two leagues hasn’t wavered. As anyone with the DirecTV MLB Extra Innings package could see last weekend, interleague play adds an extra layer of drama to an otherwise routine day on the baseball schedule. Seattle’s Felix Hernandez pitching against the mighty Philadelphia Phillies. The rowdy crowds watching the Athletics sweep the rival Giants. Playing across leagues and conferences certainly hasn’t hurt pro football or basketball. And in baseball’s case, if it brings a natural rival such as the Houston Astros to town, then all the better. Yet, baseball’s loud army of hidebound traditionalists continue to complain. They are bored with interleague play, they say. They abhor what it does to the designated hitter. The diehards’ hackles were raised even higher, however, by the recent Buster Olney story on ESPN.com that major league baseball has been discussing realignment. At issue, Olney reported, is the uneven number of teams in the two leagues — 16 for the National, 14 in the American. A simple fix, some colleagues have suggested. Just move the Astros from the six-team NL Central to the four-team AL West. Except . . . proposed new Astros owner Jim Crane has been quoted as saying he has no interest in moving the team to the American League. Crane grew up in St. Louis and reportedly considers himself a traditionalist. But since when did Crane, a previous three-time loser at trying to buy into the MLB fraternity, earn the right to dictate anything to the other 29 owners? Think Crane will get Ray Davis’ and Bob Simpson’s vote, after the way he helped to jack up the price of the Rangers last summer? The issue of realignment, though, should not be confined to our neighboring Astros. A radical realignment could benefit teams currently shackled by time-zone and economic disparities. The Rangers this season will play 30 games in the Pacific time zone. Twenty of those will likely end sometime near midnight, Central time. This is lunacy. No other team in baseball plays as many games in as many unnatural hours as the Rangers. If the leagues were totally realigned, the Rangers and Astros could become division rivals for the first time. All five of baseball’s California franchises could play in one division. The big-money Phillies and Mets could join the Yankees and Red Sox. The Rangers and Astros could be paired with the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks, with the Mariners as the fifth team. That wouldn’t solve all of the Rangers’ West Coast time problems, but it’s a start. See LEBRETON, Page 4B

MAJOR LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Outman, Weeks lead Athletics The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Josh Outman threw another impressive game, Jemile Weeks scored three times and the streaking Oakland Athletics walked their way to a 7-3 victory over the New York Mets on Tuesday night, handing rookie Dillon Gee his first loss of the season. Ryan Sweeney had four hits, including an RBI single, and the resurgent A’s won their sixth straight game after dropping 13 of 14. It’s their longest winning streak since a seven-game run in September 2009. Cliff Pennington reached base four times and scored twice, forming a pesky tandem with Weeks at the top of a Punch and Judy lineup. The speedy Weeks walked twice and stole two bases, the latest spark he’s provided since getting called up from the minors June 7. Braves 5, Blue Jays 1

ATLANTA — Brian McCann hit a two-run homer, Jason Heyward had an RBI single and Mike Minor ended a nine-start winless streak in the Atlanta Braves’ victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. The Braves have won three straight following a 1-5 stretch. Pirates 9, Orioles 3

PITTSBURGH — Neil Walker had two hits and drove in three runs as the Pittsburgh Pirates snapped a four-game losing streak with a victory over the Baltimore Orioles. Chris Resop (3-2) picked up the victory in relief after starter James McDonald couldn’t get through the requisite five innings even though he was staked to an early five-run lead. Nationals 6, Mariners 5

WASHINGTON — Wilson Ramos capped Washington’s five-run ninth inning with a game-ending three-run homer, lifting the Nationals to a dramatic victory over the Seattle Mariners. Jerry Hairston and Danny Espinosa each had two-out RBI singles before Ramos connected on a 1-1 pitch from David Pauley, hitting a drive deep to center for his sixth homer. Ramos threw his arms up almost immediately after the ball left his bat as Pauley (4-1) started to trudge off the mound. Marlins 5, Angels 2

MIAMI — The Florida Marlins’ new 80-year-old manager still has the winning touch. Jack McKeon earned his first victory since coming out of retirement when the Marlins broke an 11-game losing streak by beating the Los Angeles Angels. Javier Vazquez and five relievers gave up 13 hits and the Angels had at least one hit in

PHILLIES Continued from Page 1B

Daniel Descalso had two of St. Louis’ five hits in the Cardinals’ first game since Albert Pujols was diagnosed with a broken left wrist. St. Louis has dropped eight of 10 and fell a half-game behind the Brewers for the NL Central lead. The Phillies are among four teams with a winning record on the road, going 18-16, and busted out of a three-game stretch in which they’d totaled seven runs. Halladay struck out five to take the major league lead at 119. He failed to reach 100 pitches for the first time in16 starts this year when he was lifted ahead of pinch-hitter Ross Gload’s RBI single against Kyle McClellan that tied it at 1 in the seventh. Trever Miller (0-1) retired one of the three batters he faced to start the eighth, and it got much worse from there for the Cardinals. Jason Motte hit his only two batters, forcing in the tying run

every inning, but they went 1 for 15 with runners in scoring position. Rockies 4, Indians 3

CLEVELAND — Seth Smith’s second homer of the game snapped a ninth-inning tie as the Colorado Rockies held Cleveland hitless into the sixth, blew a lead, then beat the Indians. Smith connected off Cleveland closer Chris Perez (2-3), hitting a 2-2 pitch into the rightfield seats for his eighth homer of the season and fourth career multihomer game. Diamondbacks 7, Royals 2

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Wily Mo Pena hit his first major league home run in nearly three years, Joe Saunders pitched seven strong innings and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Kansas City Royals. Pena, just promoted from Triple-A Reno where he topped the Pacific Coast League with 21 home runs, hit a towering shot to right-center with two out in the fifth to tie the score 1-1. Pena’s previous home run was June 24, 2008, while with the Washington Nationals. Padres 5 Red Sox 4

BOSTON — Former Boston prospect Anthony Rizzo drove in the go-ahead run in the seventh inning and the San Diego Padres snapped a season-long six-game losing streak with a win over the Red Sox. Rizzo grounded out with the bases loaded to first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, traded to Boston in the offseason for Rizzo and two other minor leaguers. Chase Headley scored on the slow roller that Gonzalez bobbled before getting the out at first.

Rangers 5, Astros 4

ARLINGTON, Texas — Mitch Moreland blasted the first pitch of the bottom of the 11th inning into the upper deck in right field, sending the Texas Rangers to a 5-4 victory over the Houston Astros on Tuesday night. Moreland’s second long homer in as many games gave reliever Yoshinori Tateyama (1-0) the first victory of his career and handed Houston rookie reliever Enerio del Rosario (0-1) his first career loss. when he plunked Placido Polanco on a full count. Pinch-hitter Ben Francisco put Philadelphia in front with a single off Brian Tallet and Miguel Batista walked Ruiz and pinch-hitter Michael Martinez in succession with the bases loaded to put the Phillies up 5-2 on only two hits. Rollins’ big hit came off Batista and Utley delivered against Maikel Cleto as the Phillies topped their previous best of seven runs in an inning. Cardinals relievers toiled for 64 pitches to get three outs. Michael Stutes (2-0) won for the second straight outing, his first two major league victories, despite giving up the go-ahead run on Skip Schumaker’s sacrifice fly in the seventh. McClellan allowed a run and five hits in seven innings, throwing 90 pitches in his second outing since he was activated off the 15-day disabled list following a groin injury. The first-year starter and former setup man, who already has set a single-season best with 79 2-3 innings, had surrendered 10 earned runs in nine innings his prior two starts.

The 469-foot clout came off Don Schwall of the Boston Red Sox. 1982 — Philadelphia’s Pete Rose doubled off St. Louis pitcher John Stuper in the third inning to move into second place on the career hit list. Rose moved ahead of Hank Aaron with hit No. 3,772. 1993 — Carlton Fisk set the major league record for most games caught as the Chicago White Sox beat the Texas Rangers 3-2. Fisk, 45, passed Bob Boone with his 2,226th game. 1994 — Ken Griffey Jr. hit his 31st home run of the season in Seattle’s 12-3 victory at California, breaking Babe Ruth’s record for most homers before the end of June. Ruth needed 63 games to reach 30 homers in 1928 and 68 games in 1930. Griffey did it in the Mariners’ 70th game.

1997 — The Atlanta Braves, behind a four-homer, nine-run third, beat the Philadelphia Phillies 12-5. Chipper Jones, Fred McGriff, Michael Tucker and Jeff Blauser homered in the inning. 2002 — The Detroit Tigers ended Luis Castillo’s 35-game hitting streak. Castillo went 0-for-4 and was left on deck when the Florida Marlins finished off a four-run, ninth-inning rally to beat the Tigers 5-4. 2006 — Anthony Reyes pitched a one-hitter in just his fourth major league start, but St. Louis fell to the Chicago White Sox 1-0. Jim Thome homered in the seventh inning for Chicago’s only hit. 2008 — Atlanta’s Mark Teixeira hit three home runs and finished with four RBIs in an 8-3 win over Seattle. Teixeira hit solo drives batting left-handed in the second and fourth innings, and a two-run shot from the right side in the seventh.

GOLF

U.S. Open champ only able to play in 10 events By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

BETHESDA, Md. — When Rory McIlroy walked onto the first tee Sunday at the U.S. Open, he briefly acknowledged one golf official and quickly extended his hand to warmly greet two others, USGA executive director Mike Davis and USGA president Jim Hyler. The first official who got little more than a nod was PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem. That scene was a reminder that while a star was born outside the nation’s capital, McIlroy is only a part-time golfer in America. McIlroy decided last year not to renew his PGA Tour membership, which required him to play 15 times (including the four majors and three World Golf Championships). He now can play only 10 events a year. The tour amended its policy so The Players Championship would not count against the 10, but McIlroy chose not to play that, either. There are no hard feelings with the PGA Tour, or with Finchem. The 22-year-old from Northern Ireland simply found himself playing too much golf right about

the time the FedEx Cup playoffs got under way in late August, which would be the reason to take up membership in America in the first place. Still, it leaves the PGA Tour with limited exposure of golf’s new Boy Wonder. And that wouldn’t seem to help as the tour negotiates a new television contract that expires after 2012. “Rory’s performance in the U.S. Open has generated a lot of interest and a lot of excitement,” PGA Tour spokesman Ty Votaw said Tuesday. “Who knows what the future holds with respect to his membership status.” There is talk that McIlroy might consider joining the PGA Tour again, although likely not until the 2013 season. Chubby Chandler, his agent at International Sports Management, suggested Sunday evening that McIlroy has “a duty to be over here a little bit more being the Open champion.” “So I think obviously there’s a good chance that he’ll play a little bit more over here,” Chandler said. “But he won’t play a lot because he can’t do both tours.” Tour officials likely will bring

up its membership policies, as they do just about every year, and decide if anything needs to be changed. One policy that seems to unfairly punish McIlroy is that he is restricted to 10 events (not including The Players) because he gave up his membership, while Martin Kaymer and Alvaro Quiros can play 12 U.S. tour events because they never joined the PGA Tour. Finchem was an observer in the final group, and after seeing that record-setting performance said it would only help golf. “Rory’s victory this week creates a lot of interest globally,” Finchem said. “It’s a global game. That’s the way you have to look at it. We’d love to have him play a little bit more, but there’s an integration of tournament and competition — that’s what the fans are into. Candidly, it’s in our interest for the European tour to be very, very strong. So if he’s playing more on the European tour and we have Paul Casey and Luke Donald playing more over here, that’s a good thing. “So it’s all good,” he said. “There’s no downside to it.” LEFTY’S LAMENT: For only

the third time since he has been playing all four majors, Phil Mickelson heads to the British Open without having finished in the top 10 in the first two majors of the year. “I just didn’t play how I had hoped,” Mickelson said after finishing 23 shots out of the lead, his largest gap ever at the U.S. Open. “It just gets me more geared up to look forward to the British. We had some big tournaments — the British and the PGA — coming up, as well as the FedEx Cup. So I’ll have the next two weeks to try and get my game ready and head over to Europe.” Mickelson’s next start is the Scottish Open, played this year at Castle Stuart. His win at the Houston Open is looking more like an anomaly, and his performance in the majors has tailed off since he realized he was dealing with a rare form of arthritis last summer. Mickelson has finished out of the top 10 in four straight majors. THE BIGGER, THE BETTER: Padraig Harrington thinks the U.S. Open is more fair when it starts out on a big, strong course like Bethpage Black or Torrey

Rory McIlroy won the U.S. Open on Sunday in Bethesda, Md., but the 22-year-old from Northern Ireland isn’t a PGA Tour member, which restricts him to playing in only 10 PGA events in a year.

Phelps (4-6) allowed season highs with six runs and12 hits in just five innings. In his last start on June 16, he equaled his shortest outing of the season when he only lasted four innings, but that was halted due to a rain delay. “They jumped on some early pitches and he never really got in a rhythm,” Yankees manager Dave Miley said. “They have some pretty good hitters over there.” Phelps wasn’t the only Yankee to struggle on Tuesday. The offense only collected three hits off Norfolk starter Chris George (3-3) and reliever Cole McCurry. Two of the hits were in the first inning when SWB scored its only run. “He’s a guy that if you get him early, you have a better chance,” Miley said of George. The Yankees had a big opportunity in the bottom of the first. They took a 1-0 lead after Greg Golson drew a one-out walk and Kevin Russo and Jesus Montero hit back-to-back singles to score Golson. The Yankees had more opportunities in the inning when Brandon Laird walked to load the bases, but Jordan Parraz grounded into a double play to end the threat. The Yankees also drew six walks in the game, but couldn’t capitalize as they didn’t get a hit after the fifth. “I thought that, as funny as it may sound, that the bases loaded for us in the first inning and a double play was the last true opportunity we had,” Miley said. NOTES: Closer Kevin Whelan was placed on the disabled

The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the negotiations are supposed to be confidential. “We’re going to meet with them soon and we’re eager to accelerate the pace of the negotiations,” said Jeff Pash, the league’s chief negotiator. “We have a lot of work to do and we’ve got to do it right,” Goodell added. “The agreement has to focus on several issues and the issues are complex. It must be done in a way that is fair to the players and a way that is fair to the clubs.” One person told the AP the players’ share would approach the 50 percent the NFLPA has said it has received throughout the last decade. But the expense credits – about $1 billion last year – that the league takes off the top would disappear. Also, there would no longer be “designated revenues” from which the players would share, the person said. Instead, the players would share from the entire pie, which they project will grow significantly over the course of the new CBA, which is expected to run anywhere from six to 10 years. So if they are taking 48 percent or more of a much higher revenue stream — without the initial NFL deduction for operating expenses — the players still would receive far more money than they got under the previous agreement. A salary floor keeping teams within 90 percent of the cap also would be included. The players have been concerned that some

According to MLB.com, attendance at this season’s first round of interleague games was the highest it’s been since 2004, an increase of 11 percent. Would the Giants-Athletics rivalry lose any of its sheen if they competed in the same division? Not likely. Same for the Dodgers and Angels, the Mets and Yankees, and the Cubs and White Sox. The MLB schedule needs to be balanced. Right now the teams in the AL West are playing each other 19 times. Again, lunacy. There are still 105 other games that affect the final standings. Playing one more regularseason series against a division foe should be enough. A more

when you went to a tricky golf course, all of a sudden you’ve got to find a way to protect it,” he said. “It’s much better off going to a big, strong golf course. I’ve got to say, Augusta before the changes, the pin positions were getting right on top of the slopes. Now that it’s a bigger golf course, the pins are three or four paces from the ridge.” teams whose revenue streams don’t match up with the richer clubs would try to hold down salary spending. “It was a good day in the sense of we had a full discussion on the issues,” Goodell said. “Ownership is united and determined to reach an agreement and have a full 2011 season. The ownership has a better understanding of the framework (of a new CBA).” Several owners were expected to have objections to some of the proposals. Goodell was asked if there was a consensus among owners, to which he replied that “is a little deceiving because we don’t have an agreement” with the players. “The membership has a strong view of the priorities, what we need to do and a determination to get there,” Goodell said. Both sides appear eager to find common ground for a new collective bargaining agreement rather than going back into court. A U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is considering the league’s appeal of a lower-court injunction that originally blocked the lockout. That injunction is on hold, and a ruling could come anytime. “This is the season to get a deal,” Indianapolis owner Jim Irsay said. “I think the logic that you’re pushing on both sides is saying why get a deal Oct. 1, or whenever, when you could have had July 7, or whatever.” The person with knowledge of the negotiations said the players made economic concessions over the last three weeks of “secret” talks on both revenue percentage and on future stadium credits. But neither Goodell nor Pash would set a timetable for a deal. “I have no idea,” Pash said. “We have to spend a significant amount of time with the players. There’s a lot of work to be done for both parties. I don’t think there’s any way to say it’s close or not close.” balanced schedule would also make interleague play fairer, because each team in a division could play the same five (or 10) teams from the other league. The math can work. If the traditionalists allow it to. Realignment isn’t such a radical proposition. Teams switched divisions — and in one case, leagues — in 1994 and 1998. It may have dimmed some rivalries, but it spawned others. For the sake of their fans, especially their growing number of school-age followers, the Rangers should be for anything that lessens their number of late-night road games. The Rangers and Astros should be more than novelty opponents. Neighbors shouldn’t be strangers. Gil LeBreton is a columnist for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Rubio lights up fans with charm Flashy Spanish star happy to be with Timberwolves after playing two years in Europe. By JON KRAWCZYNSKI AP Sports Writer

MINNEAPOLIS — For two years, Minnesota Timberwolves fans have been tantalized by the myth of Ricky Rubio. Rubio’s Spanish league games were rarely on television in the Twin Cities, so they watched grainy YouTube highlights — a behind-the-back pass here, a nifty dribble there — to get their fix. The air of mystery only seemed to increase the hype. The 20-year-old point guard held his first press conference in Minnesota on Tuesday, looking to pull back the curtain and introduce himself to the fans who have so eagerly anticipated his arrival. “I was so comfortable over there, but Minnesota makes me feel comfortable too,” Rubio said. “(The Timberwolves) supported me, they were happy about my things, my winnings, in Barcelona, and I was like, oh, they want me over there. I feel that love over there. I want to give back that love.” The Timberwolves drafted Rubio in 2009 with the fifth overall pick, but a large buyout with his Spanish team at the time coupled with Rubio’s desire to stay home and work on his game kept him from immediately heading to the NBA. It was a delicate negotiation at times, and president of basketball operations David Kahn, assistant GM Tony Ronzone, European scout Pete Philo and coach Kurt Rambis all chipped in to show Rubio and his family that coming to small-market Minnesota and playing for the struggling Timberwolves was

the right move. “Yeah, I feel like they really want me,” Rubio said. “It giving me confidence to play over here, play for them. It helped me a lot. I’m so glad those guys are working over here with the Timberwolves because they are really good (people) and I felt like I’m at home.” Kahn said the Wolves staff tried to make it a point since drafting him to make Rubio comfortable with them, which would ease the transition to a new culture, new city and new game. “I think that it is important to develop relationships and to demonstrate not only to him but to his entire family how important we felt he could be to us and how much we believed in him even back then in terms of his future as an NBA player,” Kahn said. The flashy passer showed on Tuesday that he has some game off the court as well. He deftly handled questions from about 60 members of the media, showing a sparkling sense of humor, a boyish enthusiasm and some genuine humility, apologizing for his English even though it was more than passable. He said all the right things, earning applause several times from season-ticket holders who were invited to watch the press conference. When asked why he prefers to pass first instead of score, Rubio quoted Lakers Hall of Famer Magic Johnson: “One of the best sentences ever was Magic Johnson say a basket make one guy happy, an assist two guys happy.” But what about the Minnesota cold, a harsh climate that was rumored to have him lobbying for a trade? Rubio said he will buy a big coat and be sure that the house he lives in comes equipped with heat.

Salary cap issue remains top hurdle for new CBA By BRIAN MAHONEY AP Basketball Writer

NEW YORK — Saying it reflects a “desire to go as far as we can to avoid a lockout,” NBA Commissioner David Stern revealed Tuesday that owners have moved off their insistence on a hard salary cap. Players don’t see it that way. So it appears the cap system remains as the biggest obstacle to a new collective bargaining agreement before the rapidly approaching June 30 deadline. Stern said the league has proposed a “flex cap,” in which teams would target a uniform dollar amount to spend, but would still be permitted to exceed it up to an unspecified level. Players argue it’s still a hard cap, because the ceiling would eventually kick in. So even though both sides felt there was progress in what Stern had said was an important day in these negotiations, a sizable gap remains. “At this point we’re still just really far apart on the largest issue of hard salary cap, and still some economic issues as well,” players’ association president Derek Fisher of the Lakers said. Calling it “virtually the best shot we think we have” to avoid a work stoppage, Stern said the owners’ proposal would ensure that players’ total compensation would never fall below $2 billion a year in a 10-year contract, slightly less than the league paid this season. He said the average player salary would be about $5 million and Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver said the goal would be an eventual 5050 split of basketball revenues. The players are current-

ly guaranteed 57 percent. Though Stern refused to call this his last offer, he said the “cupboard is getting barer and barer.” “It’s all out there,” he said. “The owners to a person feel that this is what we have to give.” The flex cap offer had previously been proposed to the players, but had not been disclosed publicly until Tuesday afternoon. According to Stern, teams would be targeted to spend approximately $62 million, with the option to spend above through certain exceptions before reaching a limit they could not exceed. Under the current soft salary cap, teams can use various exceptions to exceed the cap, with the penalty of a dollar for dollar luxury tax once they reach the threshold. The cap this year was $58 million, and the NBA champion Dallas Mavericks, under bigspending owner Mark Cuban, blew well past the tax level of $70 million. The union made what Stern called a “directionally better” proposal than its previous ones and asked for another meeting Friday. “Today was productive and there was movement, but we’re still very far apart and ... the hard salary cap system is still something that we’re really having difficulty trying to get past,” Fisher said. “Our players just don’t see that as the best way to tackle some of the things at least we’ve been given by owners as to reasons why we need a hard salary cap.” Last week, the league withdrew its insistence for all contracts to be non-guaranteed in a new deal, offering to leave the system as is, where teams and players can negotiate individually.

Ricky Rubio of Spain, the Minnesota Timberwolves’ 2009 firstround draft pick, is coming to play in America after signing a multi-year contract with the NBA squad.

Has he visited the Mall of America? “That’s a good question because my family want to go there, but I don’t let them because they going to take all,” he said with a smile. “I don’t mean it like that, but I’m going to try to keep my credit card in my pocket.” And then there is the skepticism that surrounds him after his play seemed to plateau last season with Regal Barcelona. Rubio averaged only 6.5 points and shot just 39 percent last season. “Sometimes the stats don’t say how good are you,” Rubio said. “Or maybe opposite thing, if you make a lot of stats but your team losing, that doesn’t (matter). The goal of this sport is team wins. It’s not an individual sport. If I wanted to play individual, I’m going to play tennis or something like that. But it’s a team.” He drew chuckles when he in-

troduced his family, including father Esteve, mother Tona, brother Marc and 14-year-old sister Laia. “She doesn’t have a boyfriend, but watch out,” Rubio said. “Watch out.” It’s already been a bit of a whirlwind here for Rubio, but that didn’t stop him from going to the gym for a workout on Monday night after a 15-hour flight and a full day of meetings with team officials and corporate sponsors. “I think as you can see this is a big moment for him and his family,” Kahn said. “They’re very, very excited to start this.

Razzano captures first victory since tragedy

Wimbledon win comes a month after death of fiancé By CHRIS LEHOURITES AP Sports Writer

WIMBLEDON, England — Virginie Razzano struggled with her game, with her grief. On Tuesday, there was some respite. The 96th-ranked Frenchwoman won for the first time since the death of her fiance, beating Sania Mirza of India 7-6 (4), 2-6, 6-3 in her Wimbledon opener. “I don’t know if it’s relief for me, because when I go on the courts it’s not easy for me. I play because it’s my job and my passion and I must to continue,” the 28-year-old Razzano said. “It was good to win today because I have a lot of emotion on me when I go on the court to start the match. I try to think only positive and what I must do to play good and win today.”

“I don’t know if it’s relief for me, because when I go on the courts it’s not easy for me. I play because it’s my job and my passion and I must to continue.”

Virginie Razzano

Razzano also played at the French Open last month, losing in the first round just after Stephane Vidal passed away on May 16 at age 32, nine years after being diagnosed with a brain tumor. But it was Vidal, her fiance and also her longtime coach, who encouraged Razzano to enter the tournament at Roland Garros. “Every day,” Razzano said, “I have some up and down in my life.”

Razzano lost the opening three games against Mirza and seemed headed to her third straight defeat since Vidal’s death. But she responded and forced a tiebreaker, focusing on her tennis. “It was not easy,” said Razzano, remembering that she came back from 4-0 down before eventually losing a match two weeks ago in Birmingham. “And today it was the same problem, 3-love, and I say, ‘OK, now you must to be aggres-

sive. You are here to play, for you, and for Stephane. “I come back at 3-all, and it was better to win the first set. Good reaction on me,” she said. Razzano reached the fourth round at Wimbledon in 2009, and has also gone that far at the French and U.S. Opens. But after Vidal died, Razzano lost to Jarmila Gajdosova in the first round at the French Open and then lost to Arina Rodionova to open in Birmingham. Razzano will face top-seeded Caroline Wozniacki in the next round. Razzano is 0-4 against the Dane, including losing in the final at Eastbourne in 2009. “She’s No. 1. Of course, it’s not easy match for me for the next round,” Razzano said. “But if I can have a better start, I prefer.”

John Isner, left, and France’s Nicolas Mahut embrace after Isner won the first-round match Wimbledon on Tuesday. A year ago, the pair had played the longest match in tennis history – just over 11 hours – in last year’s opening round at Wimbledon.

One year later and nine hours shorter

Isner wins marathon rematch

By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer

This time, John Isner needed only three sets and two hours to beat Nicolas Mahut.

WIMBLEDON, England — The rematch of the longest match in tennis history certainly was a lot shorter. A year after needing 11 hours, 5 minutes spread over three days to finish a match that ended 70-68 in the fifth set, John Isner required only about two hours and a mere three sets to beat Nicolas Mahut in the first round at Wimbledon this time. Isner won 7-6 (4), 6-2, 7-6 (6) Tuesday. “It wasn’t easy,” he said, “but obviously it was considerably quicker than the last time we played.” Isner also won their first-round marathon at the All England Club in 2010, when play twice was suspended by darkness and the match shattered all sorts of records, including for most time on court, most total games, longest set and most aces. “Nothing’s going to live up to that match,” Isner said. Last year, they played 183 games. This

year, 34. Last year, the fifth set alone lasted more than eight hours. This year, the total match time was 2:03. Last year, Isner hit 113 aces, and Mahut 103. This year, each man finished with eight. Last year, the match featured twists and turns and required all manner of physical and emotional stamina. Not so Tuesday. Asked about the original, Isner said: “I don’t know if those are good memories. Long, long memories.” That match sapped Isner of all his energy and left him barely able to move, losing his second-round match in straight sets. Isner-Mahut II was played on Court 3, instead of last year’s site, Court 18, which now has a plaque commemorating the occasion. “I’m actually glad they put us out here on this court. I don’t know if they want to tarnish the legacy of Court 18 by playing a second time,” said Isner. “Chances are our match today wasn’t going to live up to last year’s match.”

strong start in her latest bid for her Grand Slam title, while former No. 1 Jelena Jankovic lost in the first round. Williams fought through a midmatch slump, then reasserted command over her French opponent in the third set with a big serve and powerful groundstrokes. She showed why she is still considered a title favorite despite her long absence and her No. 7 seeding. “It’s been a disaster year, but I’ve been praying,” Williams said. “To be able to come back at Wimbledon is pretty awesome. I didn’t expect to play. And I didn’t expect to even do anything. So I’m just excited. I’ve never cried with joy for anything.” After losing the second set, Williams took charge in the final set, winning the last five games. “I kept thinking, ‘This is Wimbledon,’ ” she said. The point of the match came at 3-1, when Williams stretched for a backhand at the baseline and fell over as she hit a winning lob at the net. Rezai said she saw the tears in Williams’ eyes when they shook hands after the match. “It definitely was so emotional for me because throughout the last 12 months, I’ve been through a lot of things that’s not normal, things you guys don’t even know about,” Williams said. “It’s just been a long, arduous road. To stand up still is pretty awesome.” Rezai was impressed by Williams’ play and touched by her outpouring. “It shows she’s not a machine, she’s a human being,” Rezai said. “We all have a heart, we all have emotions. ... If she wins the next two or three matches, I think she can win the tournament.” In keeping with Wimbledon tradition, Williams opened play on Day 2 on Centre Court as the women’s defending champion. She strode onto court wearing a cardigan, and played in a classic dress with blue trim. Her fingernails were painted in the Wimbledon colors of purple and green. Rezai came out hitting hard, breaking Williams in the first game and going up 2-0. But Williams then won five games in a row and took the set. Williams lost the momentum in the second set, and Rezai forced a third set. Williams said it was the most emotional she’s ever felt after a victory — and this was only a

Djokovic rebounds from first loss of 2011, ready to start new streak By CAROLINE CHEESE AP Sports Writer

WIMBLEDON, England — Novak Djokovic ended his “losing streak.” The second-seeded Serb beat Jeremy Chardy of France 6-4, 6-1, 6-1 Tuesday at Wimbledon, Djokovic’s first time on court since his 43-match winning streak ended in the French Open semifinals 21⁄2 weeks ago. “When this streak ended in Paris, it was kind of a relief as well, because it’s been a very, very successful five, six months for me, but very long as well and exhausting,” Djokovic said. “I’ve played so many matches. So I needed some time to relax.” Djokovic didn’t play any

N O T E B O O K grass-court tuneup tournaments after Roland Garros, but he didn’t show any sign of rust against the 54th-ranked Chardy. Djokovic dropped just two points on serve in the first set and 11 in the entire match. Now he’s 42-1 in 2011, heading into the second round against Kevin Anderson or Illya Marchenko, whose match was suspended because of darkness. Djokovic is a two-time Australian Open champion and a twotime Wimbledon semifinalist. He said Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal — winners of the past eight Wimbledon titles — are the favorites at the All En-

By the time the fifth set came around against Adrian Mannarino of France, Niland’s supporters were climbing onto adjacent walls and standing on tiptoes to try to see over the barriers and catch a glimpse of the 29-yearold Limerick resident.

At 31, Blake is on the comeback trail after knee, shoulder and elbow injuries have taken their toll on his body the past year.

Nevertheless, even a 6-4, 6-2, 6-7 (5), 4-6, 6-4 first-round loss to Marcos Baghdatis on Tuesday didn’t leave Blake thinking it’s time to

I’m thinking this one will be the same.”

ance last season, averaging fewer than 14,000 a game. Winnipeg had set its sights on the troubled Phoenix Coyotes, hoping to bring back the former Jets, but that team was saved last month for at least another season in the desert after the city of Glendale, Ariz. — where the club’s arena is located — voted to subsidize the team as it seeks a new owner. Canadian billionaire David Thomson, who heads the Winnipeg ownership group along with Mark Chipman, went hard after an NHL team when the Coyotes and the Thrashers fell into serious financial trouble. The Coyotes are owned by the NHL and likely would have returned to Winnipeg if Glendale hadn’t agreed to provide a $25 million subsidy for this year, then approved another for the 2011-12 season while the team tries to complete an agreement with a prospective new owner.

NEW YORK — The NHL board of governors unanimously approved the sale of the Atlanta Thrashers on Tuesday, paving the way for the club to move to Winnipeg, Manitoba, for next season. True North Sports and Entertainment bought the team last month and announced it was bringing the Thrashers to Winnipeg, which lost the Jets to Phoenix after the 1995-96 season. The vote by the board was the final hurdle in the process to relocate the team. The votes on the sale and the relocation were unanimous among the league’s owners. “Obviously, everybody is sorry and distressed and unhappy that we found ourselves in the circumstance where our franchise was leaving Atlanta,” NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said. “The sale is reportedly for $170 million, including a $60 million relocation fee that will be split by the rest of the own-

The Thrashers made the playoffs only once after joining the NHL for the 1999-2000 season, but that postseason appearance in 2007 resulted in a four-game sweep against the New York Rangers. Although the Winnipeg franchise has yet to pick a name for the team, it will not be the Thrashers. The club will bear no resemblance to the one that briefly called Atlanta home. Waddell, general manager Rick Dudley and coach Craig Ramsay won’t make the move to Manitoba. Dudley completed just one year of a four-year deal after he replaced Waddell, and Ramsay was one year into a two-year contract. Waddell was the Thrashers’ original general manager, serving from 1999 until 2010. The Thrashers’ ownership dealt with major financial problems and declining attendance in recent years. The team had the league’s third-worst attend-

ers. The Thrashers are the fifth NHL team to move since Gary Bettman became the league’s commissioner in 1993. Following the Flames, who moved to Calgary 31 years ago, the Thrashers are the second NHL team to leave Atlanta. Those clubs are also the last two teams to relocate to Canada. Seven of the league’s 30 teams reside north of the border. “It’s a sad day for hockey fans in Atlanta, but the franchise is going to a good place and run by good people,” Thrashers president Don Waddell said. “I wish them well, because a lot of good people that are going to go with them.” The NHL is giving up an American market that has more than 5 million people in the metro Atlanta area and heading to Winnipeg, which will be the league’s smallest market with the smallest arena. The team will play in the 15,015-seat MTS Center, but in a wave of enthusiasm, the club sold-out 13,000 season tickets in a matter of minutes earlier this month once they were made available to the public days after the sale and relocation were announced.

OKLAHOMA CITY — The NCAA is considering a change to its softball rules that would allow a defensive team to choose a penalty if a runner leaves base before the pitcher releases the ball. The proposal would allow the defensive team to have the runner called out and replay the pitch — as the rules currently require — or take the result of the play if that’s more advantageous. The change is one of several proposals that will be considered by the NCAA’s playing rules oversight panel on July 13. “The old rule, because it was a dead ball, the play never happened so you never got to take ad-

vantage of it,” said Dee Abrahamson, the NCAA’s secretary-rules editor for softball. “By making it a delayed dead ball, now the defense can choose: Do you want the penalty you’ve always had, or do you want the result of the play?” The proposal is aimed at giving the defense a bigger benefit as a result of the offense breaking the rules. Under current rules, if a player left early and then got caught off base on a line-drive double play, it would only result in the runner being out and the hitter would get to try again because the play would have been ruled dead at the moment the runner stepped off base.

Bernanke meets the press

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke holds a news conference after the Fed completes a twoday meeting about the economy. The biggest question that reporters and investors have is whether the Fed will change its mind about ending g its bond-buying program at the end of the month — and whether it will hold open the possibility of restarting it if the economy’s current soft patch worsens. Ber-nanke is scheduled to speak at 2:15 p.m. Eastern time.

FedEx’s earnings are considered an economic indicator because its business rises and falls along with the spending levels of companies and consumers. The shipping company’s fourth-quarter results will show whether higher fuel prices have hurt spending. They’ll also give an indication of the impact on U.S. business of the March 11 earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Investors have been uneasy about the stock. It’s down 5 percent since the end of April.

A reading on consumers Bed, Bath & Beyond had a bullish forecast when it reported its fourth-quarter earnings back in April.

Higher gas and food prices and a slower economy are making them think twice about buying non-essentials. Investors will be interested in whether Bed, Bath & Beyond is still upbeat about the rest of the year.

Stocks post fourth gain Stocks rose for a fourth day straight Tuesday on hopes that a vote of confidence in the Greek government will help the country avoid a default. Materials producers and other companies whose profits are closely tied to global economic growth had the biggest gains Tuesday. Aluminum producer Alcoa Inc. rose 4 percent, leading the 30 companies that make up the Dow. Gains were widespread, with nine out of 10 industry groups higher. Only consumer goods saw a decline. Another reason stocks are rising is that analysts expect corporate earnings growth to remain strong. That’s despite more than a dozen reports since May that showed the U.S. economy has slowed. Home prices and sales have declined, manufacturing growth has slowed and the job market remains weak. Even so, analysts surveyed by FactSet forecast that companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index will earn 14 percent more in the second quarter compared with last year.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22, 2011

WASHINGTON — Sales of existing U.S. single-family homes and condos fell 3.8 percent in May as a slump in prices failed to spur activity in the market, according to data released Tuesday. The National Association of Realtors said sales fell to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.81million. Resales fell a revised 1.8 percent in April to 5 million,

compared with the initial estimate of a 0.8 percent fall to 5.05 million units. The decline was in line with forecasts. The forecasts rely heavily on the pending home sales index, which collapsed by 12 percent in April. Pending sales are measured at the point of contract signing, and existing home sales are measured at closing. “This was a weak report that will likely be greeted as being OK because the

decline was less than many feared. Still, the housing market is going nowhere fast,” wrote Joel Naroff, president of Naroff Economic Advisors, in a note to clients. Lawrence Yun, the chief economist of the NAR, said he thinks that the May existing home sales could be “the low point of the year.” Yun said that pending home sales may rebound by as much as 15 percent next

IRS workers skirted law Some 133 workers at the Internal Revenue Service apparently didn’t comply with U.S. tax laws during a two-year period but the agency failed to detect them, a government investigator said Tuesday. About 44 percent of the cases were workers who filed late returns but didn’t owe any taxes, said IRS spokeswoman Michelle Eldridge. More than half the cases have already been reviewed and closed because the facts did not merit further review, she said. The agency has about 107,000 employees.

Master Distiller Jimmy Russell, right, and his son Eddie are reflected in a mirror in the Wild Turkey Distillery offices in Lawrenceburg, Ky. Officials say Kentucky bourbon distilleries have spent millions to expand their operations.

Toast of the town

LAWRENCEBURG, Ky. — At the new Wild Turkey bourbon distillery in central Kentucky, the grainy smell of fermenting corn wafts from giant tubs as workers add a touch of grain or tweak the temperature, just as they had for decades at the now-mothballed plant nearby. The difference? They can make more than twice as much bourbon at the new $50 million facility, with room to grow if sales keeps spiking. In a nod to the automation that took hold years ago, workers in a control room lined with computers can adjust their brew with a few keystrokes. It’s among the most ambitious of projects for this industry clustered in central Kentucky’s rolling hills, where distilleries have spent at least $150 million in one of the

bourbon sector’s biggest expansions since Prohibition, said Eric Gregory, president of the Kentucky Distillers’ Association. The producers are aiming to quench a thirst for bourbon — especially premium brands — that is steady in the U.S. and rapidly expanding overseas, thanks in part to the comeback of cocktails appealing to younger adults, lower tariffs, robust marketing and a larger middle class in emerging markets. “It used to be if you went west and crossed the Mississippi, it was hard to even find a bourbon,” said Eddie Russell, Wild Turkey’s associate distiller and son of longtime master distiller Jimmy Russell. Wild Turkey showed off the new distillery at a ceremony on Tuesday — though the bourbon aging there won’t be ready for sipping until 2016.

Kentucky produces 95 percent of the world’s bourbon, according to the state distillers’ association. More than 5 million barrels of bourbon and other whiskeys are currently aging in the state, the highest inventory since the early 1980s. The proliferation of small-batch premium and super-premium products, which are aged longer and fetch higher retail prices, has helped propel sales and given bourbon a more cosmopolitan image. Industry observer F. Paul Pacult, editor of the quarterly newsletter Spirit Journal, said bourbon makers are showing an adventurous side with premium offerings that reflect an “intramural competition.” “There’s more innovation happening in Kentucky right now than any other place in the world,” Pacult said.

LOS ANGELES — With a mighty swing, Rory McIlroy gave golf a new hero and a California company a chance at outfitting a new generation of athletes. Known mostly for high-end sunglasses, Oakley Inc. provided clothing for the 22-year-old McIlroy during his star turn at the U.S. Open last weekend. McIlroy, who on Sunday became the youngest golfer to win the tournament since 1923, wore a blue polo shirt, white pants and a belt — all Oakley-branded. Comparisons to Tiger Woods — and the sales he generated for Nike Inc. — have marketing experts predicting good fortunes for Oakley. “The way he is being seen by the golf community, we haven’t seen since Tiger Woods,” said Nancy Lough, editor of Sport Marketing Quarterly. “If Tiger wore a shirt on Sunday, everybody wanted the shirt on Monday.” McIlroy’s win is a golden opportunity for Oakley, marketing experts say, providing the company a chance to show off and talk about its budding apparel lines, designed for athletes in such activities as mountain biking, surfing and motorsports. It is aggressively expanding its golf line. Oakley “may not be well-known in that space, but neither was McIlroy,” said David Carter, executive director of the University of Southern California’s Sports Business Institute. “It gives both of them a chance to build something together.” The firm has been quick to capitalize on the opportunity. On Monday, the front page of Oakley’s website displayed an exuberant McIlroy coupled with a note of congratulations. The company also issued “a proud salute” in a news release, tying the young phenom’s accomplishment to the golf apparel he donned during the tournament. Oakley is hoping that the connection with McIlroy will shine a spotlight on its clothing lines, which are not as wellknown as its sunglasses.

Go to WyckWyre.com.” The Scranton office of Lamar Advertising Company, based in Baton Rouge, La., hesitated to run the ad, saying it disrespected the flag. “When we looked at the first ad we felt it waskindofrisquéandwasdisrespectfulof the American flag,” said Tom Donohue, general manager at Lamar’s Scranton of-

fice. “We feel the American flag is very sacred and we thought the ad was not very tasteful.” Donohue said Lamar never rejected the ad. He said Lamar asked that the ad be redone. The second ad uses red, white and blue colors in the background, but not a flag and now reads: “We can help you get a job! (Even ex-politicians) WyckWyre.com.” “We’re actually running the ad as we speak,” Donohue said Tuesday afternoon.

A revised version of the billboard.

“We felt the first ad was a little sensitive – capitalizing on the scandal involving former Congressman Anthony Weiner.” Donohue said the ad will be running on two digital billboards – one along Interstate 81 near the Drinker Street exit in Dunmore, and the other on Route 309 near the Sheetz store in Wilkes-Barre. “As of this morningWyckWyre.com received word that the latest version of the billboard in question was to be displayed, effective immediately,” said Justin Poet, vice president of WyckWyre.com. WyckWire.com issued a press release

soon after Lamar first balked at running the ad in its original form. Poet said the company’s ads are meant “to be a little edgy.” “We’re trying to get noticed instead of being drowned out by the all the white noise,” Poet said in a release. “We knew it might ruffle a few feathers … yet our message was fun, funny and was designed to show there is a lighter side to our economic and political environment.” Each digital billboard, on which run the ads appear, loop on an 8-second rotational cycle.

Analyzing the future

Morningstar is creating a new rating system for mutual funds. It’s designed to give investors a sense of how a fund will do. Morningstar already has a five-star system that rates funds based on past performance. In the fall, it will add ratings based on an AAA scale. Morningstar is calling the new system “Analyst Ratings.” It will be based on research done by its analysts. Star ratings are based on quantitative measures of a fund’s past performance. Those include its investment returns measured against those of similar funds, and how much risk a fund took to get those returns. Morningstar says its new ratings will reflect its analysts’ assessment of a fund’s managers and parent company. Funds that have 4- and 5-star ratings often brag about them in ads. You can expect funds that get top analyst ratings to do the same. The new system will have five ratings: AAA, AA, A, Neutral and Negative. Morningstar plans to assign analyst ratings to as many as 200 funds beginning in October. It will start with funds that investors are most interested in. Over the next year, Morningstar hopes to rate more than 1,500 funds. The analyst ratings will be assigned to new funds as well as established funds. That differs from the star ratings. A fund has to be in existence for three years to get a star rating.

Morningstar’s new ratings for funds will be based on judgments made by its analysts. Funds that get AAA, AA or A ratings are expected to do better than similar funds, or the indexes they track, for at least five years.

A fund that analysts have the highest expectations for. A fund that analysts have high expectations for. A fund that has disadvantages but that analysts still believe deserves a positive rating. A fund that’s unlikely to have standout returns. But it’s also unlikely to do significantly worse than similar funds or the index it tracks. A fund with at least one flaw that’s likely to significantly hurt its performance. The fund is considered inferior to similar funds. Mark Jewell, Elizabeth Gramling • AP

Very humid air has arrived for this ďŹ rst full day of summer, and with a shallow trough of low pressure overhead we will have showers and thunderstorms into tonight. Brief heavy downpours are likely later today, and the same will happen again tomorrow, a day that we expect will be even warmer than today. This will push my rainfall total this year to more than 32 inches, which is just over 16 inches more than what fell last year to date. Slightly cooler and less humid weather will arrive this weekend, but for most of next week temperatures are expected to trend above average. - Tom Clark

Island-style swordfish grilled for the season

TIMES LEADER FILE PHOTO/AIMEE DILGER

Albert Broyan packs some tomatoes for a customer at the Wilkes-Barre Farmers Market.

THIS ENTRÉE, Island-Style Grilled Swordfish Steak served with coconut jasmine rice and mango relish, and accompanied by rum-drunken fresh cherries, allows the fresh flavors of the season to pair up with the grill and gives you a chance to eat healthy. I’m sure you and your guests will enjoy this recipe, especially because of the island twist. Use the highest-quality fish available. If swordfish isn’t available, substitute a white, grill-friendly fish or seafood such as shrimp or scallops. •••

dessert, not a reference to the person standing at the grill. A fool is a classic British dessert made from a fruit compote and whipped cream. Traditionally, the two components are folded together, but they also can be layered in a parfait glass. In our revision, we’ve opted to grill the fruit rather than cook it on the stovetop. Grilling the fruit keeps your kitchen cool and adds a wonderful smokycaramel flavor to the fruit. We’ve opted for a mixture of strawberries and peaches, but pineapple and banana with a little toasted coconut on top would be a great tropical fool. Or use apples and pears with a little cinnamon added to the whipped cream.

GRILLED FOOL Start to finish: 30 minutes Servings: 4 Vegetable oil, for oiling the grill 2 peaches, halved, pits removed 1 pound large strawberries, stemmed and halved 2 tablespoons honey 1 teaspoon lemon juice 1 1/2 cups heavy cream 1/4 cup powdered sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Heat a grill to medium-high. Be sure the grates are very clean. Using a pair of tongs, rub a paper towel soaked in vegetable oil over the grates. Grill the peaches and strawberries until tender and starting to brown. Remove the strawberries after 5 minutes. Flip the peaches and grill for another 5 minutes. Allow the fruit to cool until it is easily

handled. Pull the skins off the peaches. Cut the fruit up into 1/2-inch cubes, then combine in a large bowl. Stir in the honey and lemon juice. Allow to cool completely. With an electric mixer, in a large bowl beat the cream, powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. To assemble the fools, arrange the fruit and whipped cream in layers in tall glasses. Start with the mixed fruit, then spoon whipped cream over it and repeat until the glass is filled. Alternatively, fold the cooled fruit into the whipped cream and spoon the mixture into glasses.

INGREDIENTS: Four fresh swordfish steaks, 6 ounces each. MARINADE: 1 cup soy sauce 1 ⁄2 cup rice wine vinegar 1 ⁄2 cup brown sugar 2 tablespoons fresh ginger 1 tablespoon garlic, minced 6 scallions 1 teaspoon crushed red peppers 2 tablespoons jerk spice blend MANGO RELISH: 1 mango, diced 2 tablespoons red onion 1 tablespoon honey 2 small bunches sliced mint CHERRIES: 2 cups fresh cherries, halved and pitted 1 ⁄2 cup rum 4 roasted long, hot peppers 1 tablespoon fresh ginger COCONUT JASMINE RICE: 1 ⁄2 white onion, diced 1 teaspoon chopped garlic 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 cup jasmine rice 1 cup coconut milk 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped ••• Prepare the grill by preheating to 450 degrees. Marinate the swordfish steaks in the marinade for 30 minutes. Prepare the rice by heating the coconut milk, and in a separate pan cook the onions with olive oil until transparent, then add garlic for aroma. Sweat the rice in the olive oil for four minutes. Add coconut milk and simmer, covered, for 15-16 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes and fluff the parsley into the rice. Soak the cherries in the rum for 30 minutes. Prepare the relish by simply dicing the mango and incorporating the rest of the ingredients. Pre-roast the Italian long hot peppers on a cooler part of the grill, cook until blackened but not burned. Now that everything is in place, the rice is cooked, the relish made and cherries are almost drunk, you can start to grill the swordfish on a lightly oiled grill. Put the fish on the grill and let it cook 3-4 minutes per side. Be careful not to overcook the fish. Some of the marinade can be basted on the fish as it grills. Serve the fish on top of the rice top with mango and the drunken cherries. Accompany each dish with a roasted long hot pepper. Serves four.

of ground beef that has absolutely no fat in it. Then you need to make up for flavor and juiciness in many other ways,” he says. Zien’s next caveat? Go easy on handling the meat. “I like the natural-looking shape,” says Zien. “Who cares what the shape is? Make it the shape of your Uncle Leon’s head, as long as it’s an even thickness.” Stuffing can be done two ways. “Make one. Lay the stuff on top — keep it about a half-inch away from sides — then put the other patty on top and squeeze the edges together.” Or form a patty, make an indentation with your thumb, stuff and seal. Then head to the grill, stop flipping it all the time, and don’t overcook it. Some people think “they’re not doing their job properly if they just put it on, walk inside and come back four minutes later with a freshened cocktail. They think they’re not cooking,” Zien says. “Put it on. Leave it alone. Don’t move it around. Down once and leave it — three or four minutes for thick — then flip and give it a little bit less cooking and take the thing off. Keep it juicy.”

There’s even a socioeconomic impact. Many cities have food deserts, where fresh produce — where grocery stores themselves — are rare. Putting farmers markets in these areas can help everyone.

“I’ve set up a way to use food stamps in farmers markets (in New York),” Underhill says. “That’s money that isn’t being spent on carbonated beverages or wing dings. It is better for the customers, better for the farmers.”

Before you toss the usual burgers on the grill this summer. Before you endure the usual groans from bored burger eaters among family and friends. Do this: Stuff it. Yep, surprise those blasé about burgers, and up your grilling game by tucking a chunk of cheese, a spoonful of sauteed mushrooms or some chopped, grilled red pepper — and more — inside a burger patty before grilling. Think about stuffed burgers the way cookbook author Sam Zien does: “For me, it’s like a little party. Surprise! Here I am. You didn’t think there was going to be a piece of feta inside.” The stuffed burger, Zien adds, “has always been an old-school kind of concept.” And a good, reliable one, we might add. The surprise factor has worked every time someone bites into a plump sausage orb dubbed a Scotch egg and finds a hardcooked egg inside. And it worked every time your granny tucked a hard-cooked egg or cheese into the middle of the family meatloaf only to elicit giggles from children when the cooked loaf was sliced. Why, the stuffed burger has long held a place of honor on menus across the country, from the Minneapolis-St. Paul eateries boasting the cheese-stuffed burger called, variously, a “juicy lucy” or “jucy lu-

cy,” to New York’s Stumble Inn, where five stuffed burgers have helped build its reputation. And cookware stores boast stuffedburger-making gadgets. “I love putting things inside (burgers) because certain things inside definitely help with the moistness of a burger,” says Zien, who likes stuffed burgers so much he included a recipe in his latest book, “Just Grill This!” (Wiley, $19.95), put a few in his previous cookbooks and prepared them on his TV cooking show in his San Diego hometown. He steers clear of wacky concepts, though, recalling when “chefs went wild with it and they started putting foie gras and truffles and maniac stuff like that inside. ... That’s why God invented restaurants for that kind of food, right? “Mere mortals at home have a different task in front of us and a different budget.” But before you tackle the inside job, he offers a few burger-making caveats, including buying the right ground beef for grilling which, for Zien, means a mix of 20 percent fat and 80 percent lean. “People go to the store and see fat content and freak out, and it scares them into buying a package

up everywhere. “When was the last time you got eggs with green or blue shells, not just brown shells?” Underhill asks. “These are fun experiences.” He points out that, like the products, farmers have evolved as well. “The farmers are getting a little more sophisticated, not only in what they’re growing but how they’re presenting. If you’re at a farmers market in Columbus, Ohio, for example, you’ll see beefsteak tomatoes, red potatoes, standard Midwest fare. If you’re in Chicago or New York City, you’ll find Russian fingerling potatoes. It’s a sea of exotica. Farmers realize that if they bring something to market that isn’t standard fare, present it well and tell you how to cook it, people will buy it.” That brings us to another aspect of markets: prices. Sure, a dozen ears of sweet corn sold from a roadside stand on a back road in August will be cheap. But produce at a farmers market will be competitive, closer to what you’ll find in a store. Still, Byczynski says it’s a myth that farmers markets cost more. “A lot of times, you’re not comparing equals,” she says. “A lot of times, the stuff in the supermarket is smaller in size, smaller in units, and dried up and desiccated, so you get less.” She also points out that it’s not fair to the farmers to expect them to sell at dirt-cheap prices. “I can tell you, no one is getting rich growing produce,” she says. On the other hand, Underhill says, farmers markets have provided a rebirth for the family farm, once on everybody’s endangered-species list. “My thesis is that the world of shopping is going to change more in the next five years than it has in the last 50,” he says. “And one reason is the farmers market. Family farms are coming back because you cut out the middleman. “Today, with 10 acres of cultivated land you can make an honest living if they sell their vegetables to the people who consume them. That culture is mentally healthy for us. It changes the way we consume.”

A simple bean salad that’s good for you parsley salad is a deliciously cool addition to any summer meal and perfect for breaking the Ramadan fast. •••

By JIM ROMANOFF For The Associated Press

Beans are somewhat of a nutritional miracle worker. Along with being an excellent source of protein, they’re packed with fiber and other plant-based nutrients. Plus, they’re extremely low in fat, can prolong the feeling of fullness after a meal, and can help control bloodsugar levels. Many people are hesitant to cook with beans because they think of the dry ones, which can require soaking overnight and, depending on the variety, lengthy cooking on the stove. But canned beans are a convenient must-have for any healthy pantry. The good news is that unlike many other canned products, beans keep their nutrients during the canning process. Besides being nutritional dynamite, canned beans are available in numerous shapes, sizes and flavors, making them a favorite among gourmet cooks. Always rinse and drain canned beans before using them to remove excess salt and indigestible sugars that are in the cloudy liquid. This summery salad stars black-eyed peas. Chock full of fresh tomatoes and parsley and tossed in a lemony dressing, the dish is reminiscent of a MiddleEastern tabbouleh salad, but much more satisfying and nutritionally balanced. Served as a main or side dish, black-eyed peas, tomato and

BLACK-EYED PEAS, TOMATO AND PARSLEY SALAD Start to finish: 1 hour 10 minutes (10 minutes active) Servings: 6 1/4 cup lemon juice 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil Two 15 1/2-ounce cans black-eyed peas 1 small red onion, quartered and thinly sliced 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved 3/4 cup coarsely chopped flatleaf parsley, plus a few sprigs for garnish In a medium bowl, combine the lemon juice, garlic, sugar, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper. While whisking, drizzle in the olive oil. Whisk until completely emulsified. Add the black-eyed peas and red onion. Toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours. In a large serving bowl, combine the tomatoes, parsley and marinated black-eyed pea mixture. Toss thoroughly to coat. Season with additional salt and pepper. Serve garnished with parsley sprigs.

Husband physically abused by his wife finds few resources for men Dear Abby: I was a victim of domestic abuse by my wife, and I don’t feel I have been treated fairly. There are many programs for abused women, but I haven’t found any for men. This problem is more common than people realize, but men are embarrassed to say anything. I’d like my voice to be heard to encourage men to speak up. I did not hit my wife back after she beat on me. I still love her, but I refuse to be abused any longer. Abby, please help me help myself and others. — Bill in Arkansas Dear Bill: Gladly. Among the prob-

DEAR ABBY ADVICE lems with spousal abuse is that it escalates. Over the last decade domestic violence groups have become more aware of female-to-male domestic violence and violent behavior in same-sex relationships, and are better prepared to offer help than they used to be. That’s why it’s important you contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline. The toll-free number is (800) 799-7233. Another organization, SAFE (Stop Abuse for Everyone), also assists victims of abuse regardless of age, gender or sexual orientation. Its website is www.safe4all.org.

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

Dear Abby: Our daughter is divorced with two children. She has been dating a man who has three children. Recently, they decided to move in together. All the children are first grade or younger. What would be the proper way to handle birthdays? If my daughter and her boyfriend were married, or even engaged, I wouldn’t have a problem sending gifts to his children. But since my husband and I hardly know this man, we’re not sure how to handle this. Should we just continue to send birthday gifts to our daughter’s kids and nothing but cards to his? What’s the proper thing? — Fair-Minded in West Virginia Dear Fair-Minded: Your daughter and grandchildren have formed a

CRYPTOQUOTE

household with her boyfriend and his kids. If you’re compassionate people, you will treat all of the children equally for as long as the relationship lasts. If they decide to marry, which is a possibility, you will wind up being grandparents to all of them. If they eventually separate, you will have done the right thing and lent some stability and happiness to those children’s lives. Dear Abby: For a lot of reasons — many betrayals among them — I have almost completely lost my faith in the basic goodness of people. I have started isolating myself because I believe that more contact with people will destroy what little belief I have left. I don’t want to be so bitter and cynical, and I need help overcoming this. Any

advice would be appreciated. — Wounded Soul in Minnesota Dear Wounded: I’m sorry you have suffered disappointment. But isolating yourself from others isn’t the solution. I don’t know anyone who hasn’t been disappointed in someone, but it’s not a reason to hide. Trust is something that has to be developed, and building it takes time. Relationships can be risky. Unless you are willing to take some risk, there will be no reward. To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, selfaddressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Recent excitement has taxed you emotionally. That’s why you’ll gravitate to nice, normal people who have something interesting, but not too interesting, to talk about. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re swayed by beauty, and you’re willing to pay for superior design. A storefront or salesperson presents items with an elegance that will render you lighter in the wallet. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your mood is practical, logical and stable. So it will be challenging for you to relate to the one who seems to be dreaming life away. CANCER (June 22-July 22). There’s a bit of the dark rebel in you now, and someone in your midst is absolutely mesmerized by your bold and unpredictable behavior. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Unlike some, you don’t expect to be paid for any and every exertion of effort. You do, however, require that each activity you endeavor is its own reward. It is precisely because you find your work so rewarding that the money comes to you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You can send a message without making it overt. In fact, lately you are a master of silent communication. It’s as though you have a direct, invisible mental connection with whomever you want to influence. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll be in charge of making sure business runs smoothly and all the necessary connections are made. Set the right atmosphere, and people will basically take care of themselves.

MINUTE MAZE JUMBLE BY MICHEAL ARGIRION & JEFF KNUREK

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

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your inner drives are more important to you than any external threat or reward. You’ll do a job because you are compelled to do it — because it pains you to consider doing anything else. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You long for a project so enthralling that it makes you forget about the petty worries and concerns of daily life. Such a project will come along by the end of the month. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Have you ever talked to someone and felt that the conversation was so difficult that the minutes you spent trying felt like hours? You’ll have a similar experience today. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll look forward to spending time with a smooth operator you know. Note that you don’t have to talk about anything important or deep to keep the positive vibes bouncing between you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your imagination is so strong that you will be able to project yourself through time, in a sense, as you hone your vision of what you want your future to be. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 22). You’ll take charge of your personal life. In the next four weeks, you will remember something you wanted long ago and will revive the effort to make it happen. New friends open up areas of interest. Your physical fitness improves in September. December brings the celebration of a union. Scorpio and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 1, 22, 49 and 13.
