SANDUSKY GUILTY Convictions on 45 of the 48 charges in case involving 10 victims Ex-PSU coach facing possibility of spending rest of life in prison

No shock, but lots of sadness in area

WILKES-BARRE – The guilty verdicts in the child sex abuse trial of Jerry Sandusky did not surprise attorneys and alumni of Penn State University, where he was a celebrated defensive assistant football coach. A jury deliberated for nearly two days before finding him guilty on 45 of 48 counts late Friday night. Sandusky was accused of sexually assaulting 10 boys over a 15-year period. “It is what I expected. It just seemed there too much against the guy,” said Will Kresge, an alumnus from Bear Creek. “It brought an awful lot of shame on Penn State,” said Kresge. He ran for a seat on the board of trustees earlier this year upset after the board fired longtime head football coach Joe Paterno in response to the sex abuse case. Paterno died from lung cancer in January. Kresge had little sympathy for 68-year-old Sandusky, saying he hoped the “decision is to incarcerate him for the rest of his life.” Like many attorneys, Assistant Luzerne County District Attorney Jarrett Ferentino had been following the trial. “I think that the jury got it absolutely right,” he said. “I feel that the multitude of victims coupled with the psychological testimony resulted in a compelling prosecution and a

HURRICANE AGNES: 40 YEARS LATER

PHOTOS FROM OUR PAST

BELLEFONTE — Jerry Sandusky was convicted Friday of sexually assaulting 10 boys over 15 years, accusations that shattered the Happy Valley image of Penn State football and led to the firing of Hall of Fame coach Joe Paterno. Sandusky, a 68-year-old retired defensive coach who was once Paterno’s heir apparent, was found guilty of 45 of 48 counts. “One of Sandusky showed little emotion as the verdict was the recurread.

The accuser known in Linda Kelly Pennsylvania court papers as Victim 6 attorney general broke down in tears upon hearing the verdicts in the courtroom. Afterward, a prosecutor embraced him and said, “Did I ever lie to you?” The man, now 25, testified that Sandusky called himself the “tickle monster” in a shower assault. He declined to comment to a reporter afterward. His mother said: “Nobody wins. We’ve all lost.” Almost immediately after the judge adjourned, loud cheers could be heard from a couple hundred people gathered outside the courthouse as word quickly spread that Sandusky had been convicted. The crowd included victim advocates and local residents with their kids. Many held up their

PLAINS TWP. – Done with baseball this year David Sikora looked forward to next season. He and his mother, Lourdes, joined hundreds of other players, parents, coaches, relatives and the front office staff of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees for a feel-good night at the Plains Little League, on the mend from a devastating arson two weeks ago. “I played many games on that field,” said Sikora, 10, wearing the yellow shirt from his team the Pirates. “It’s cool,” he said of the buzz and excitement on Tokach Field and in the stands Friday night. Thanks to an outpouring of support from the area, the damage to the clubhouse and concession stand is being repaired sooner than expected. “Did I expect to walk in here and see how much is done,” asked Richette Gulitus, league president. “It’s absolutely amazing.” Inside the concession stand where she stood, new sheetrock was hung on the ceiling. In the upstairs room looking out onto the field, the walls had been repainted, new electrical service panels installed and a new roof was built. Gulitus said developer Robert Mericle is helping out with the rebuild. If the league had to do the work on its own it would take until next season to complete, but it should be done in two weeks with the help of Mericle, she said Donations have been coming from many sources, and more is to come. A benefit is scheduled Sunday from noon to 6 p.m. at Hun’s West Side Café, 570 Union St., Luzerne,. with all proceeds being given to the league.

Gulitus was floored when she was handed $50 by a 9-year-old girl on the field who raised the money with another girl. “They all made bracelets and they sold them,” said Gulitus. From their seats in the clubhouse behind home plate, Shane Cegelka, 6, and sister Tessa, 4, watched one of the three games being played that night. Their dad, Jerry, who coaches Shane’s team and manages the team of his other son. Ethan, stood by. “Very disappointing,” he said of his reaction to the arson. He knew Brian Gashi, who’s been charged with the crime, Cegelka said. “But the community would rally, they always do,” said Cegelka. From behind the chain-link fence near home plate John Davies sat at a microphone and announced the games. The public address announcer for the Scranton/WilkesBarre Yankees has been on a hiatus this year while the team plays all their games on the road due to the renovations being made at PNC Field in Moosic. He and others from the front office donated their time to help the league raise money, said Katie Beekman, vice president of marketing with the team. The league asked for help fixing the field, said Beekman. But after some brainstorming, she added, the office staff came up with another way to get involved. Beekman said she asked the league, “Why don’t you let us come down and crash your Little League for the night?” The answer was obvious. “I get a kick out of the kids,” said Davies during a break between games. A boy came up to him and asked him to autograph a baseball, Davies said. When Davies told him, “I’m not a player, just a PA announcer,” he said the boy replied, “I know.”

Lightning ignites building Dealer’s storage structure burns. Damage between $10,000 and $20,000. By STEVE MOCARSKY smocarsky@timesleader.com

DALLAS TWP. – An auto dealer suffered significant damage to his storage property when a lightning strike set it ablaze on Friday afternoon. Kunkle Fire Chief Jack Dodson said crews responded to a reported blaze along state Route 309 not far from the Kunkle Fire Station around 4 p.m. and arrived to find two storage sheds and a leanto fully engulfed in flames. Dodson said it took “a good half hour” to bring the fire under control because of the amount

and type of items in the sheds, such as lawn mowers and tractors, acetylene torches, auto parts, a log splitter and tires. Dodson said one of the acetylene torches exploded as a fire engine pulled up to the scene, but no one was injured. About 20 Kunkle firefighters manning five pieces of apparatus plus emergency medical service providers were on-scene, he said. The sheds are owned by Timothy Haddle, owner of Kunkle Motors, a Saab dealership, Dodson said. He estimated damages to be at least $10,000, possibly even $20,000 or more. “After investigating, we determined it was caused by lightning. Between 2 and 4 p.m., we had an extreme amount of lightning in the area,” Dodson said.

Pa. OKs limited secret grand juries for counties The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has revived county prosecutors’ ability to use secret grand juries to bring indictments, a unanimous rule change the state’s justices said is necessary to combat rampant witness intimidation in Philadelphia and other high-crime areas. Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams told The Philadelphia Inquirer that most shooting prosecutions in the city are complicated by witness intimidation. Enabling witnesses to testify in secret before grand juries should help prosecutors counter that. The policy change reverses a

1976 decision abolishing indicting grand juries, saying they’re unnecessary. As a result, prosecutors could use grand juries to return presentments, which are detailed reports that recommend charges be brought. But once those charges were filed, a preliminary hearing still had to be held — requiring witnesses to testify publicly — so a district judge could determine if probable cause existed for the charges to be tried in Common Pleas Court. By contrast, charges filed through grand jury indictments go directly to trial. The rule change, which takes

HARRISBURG — A former Pennsylvania lawmaker charged in a public corruption scandal said he didn’t know that an ex-aide had performed campaign work on taxpayers’ dime. Testifying in his own defense on the fourth day of his trial before a Dauphin County jury on Thursday, former Rep. Stephen Stetler contradicted testimony by a former legislative aide who said the lawmaker was out of the Harrisburg office for weeks at a time working on various election campaigns. The aide, John Paul Jones, claimed Stetler knew he was illegally doing political activity on state time. Jones said he falsified comp-time slips and the office manager helped in the cover-up. Several other prosecution witnesses also testified that

Laura Dorshefski, director of the center, said the facility sustained significant damage in the September flooding. Given the repairs that brought the center to goodas-new condition and seniors’ nervousness with forecasts for extended rain, Dorshefski thought the celebration would be a great morale booster. Even after a dinner with lively entertainment, the seniors were still up for a few rousing games of bingo before heading back to their homes and apartments. Among those attending were Irene Andrews, a resident at the senior high-rise for 26 years; former Shickshinny Mayor Annie Groover; and current Mayor Beverly Moore.

they openly did campaign work in Stetler’s office. Stetler called Jones’ allegations “outrageous” and testified he told all his employees “face to face” to keep campaign activity separate from their legislative responsibilities. Stetler has pleaded not guilty to four counts of theft and one count each of conspiracy and conflict of interest. The trial is scheduled to resume Monday. The former York County lawmaker was chairman of both the House Democratic Policy Committee and the House Democratic Campaign Committee during the 2004-2006 period in which prosecutors say the illegal activity occurred. Stetler is the last of 25 people charged in a wide-ranging investigation by the state attorney general’s office to stand trial.

effect in six months, doesn’t give prosecutors unlimited discretion to use grand juries, however. “It’s limited in scope to situations where witness intimidation has occurred, is occurring or is likely to occur,” said Daniel Fitzsimmons, the chief trial deputy for the Allegheny County district attorney’s office. Under the new rule, prosecutors will have to petition the county’s president judge for permission to empanel a grand jury and file a document giving probable cause that witness intimidation is a problem in a particular case, Fitzsimmons said.

Dodson said a lot of lightning isn’t unusual, but a strike to a structure is. “Lightning is a very strange animal,” Dodson said. “We recommend all homes have automatic fire alarms so they go off when a lightning strike occurs, either hard-wired or on frequencies that dial directly to 911.” Dodson said the sheds were probably burning for about 15 minutes before anyone noticed the fire and called it in. That’s why he prefers automatic fire and smoke alarms that send signals to 911 rather than alarms that simply emit an audible local alert for people living in rural areas. “If you live out here in the boonies where we are, no one’s going to hear alarms go off,” he said.

Former MLB ace John pitches for Barletta Major leaguer famous for surgery named after him makes a visit to the area. By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Tommy John said Friday he’s better known these days as the guy who had the groundbreaking arm surgery that extended his career than a successful baseball pitcher. John, 69, a former star lefthander with the Yankees, Dodgers, White Sox, Angels and Indians, was in town to stump for U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Hazleton. John played a round of golf at Huntsville Golf Club, where he said he was glad to lose only three golf balls. Later he greeted Barletta supporters at Genetti’s Best Western. “The surgery I had has helped so many other athletes, I’m honored to have it named after me,” John said. John said he’s about to file for Social Security and he’s “scared to death” about it – he

said the uncertainty of Medicare and Medicaid are two reasons why Congress needs representatives like Barletta. “It’s important that we have common-sense, down-toearth people in Congress making decisions,” John said. “Something has to be done to protect people.” John said he met Barletta in Washington, D.C., recently when he was attending a national conference. John is an advocate of physical fitness in public schools. When he was introduced to Barletta both learned they share many political philosophies. Barletta, 54, is a lifelong Yankee fan and meeting John was a big deal for the one-time aspiring ballplayer-turnedcongressman. “I always enjoyed watching Tommy pitch – especially for my team (Yankees),” Barletta said. “But to meet him off the field and see what a quality person he is, well, it was spe-

Just less than half of the estimated 2,400 juveniles who were deemed eligible for a share of the $17.75 million settlement Robert Mericle reached in the “kids for cash” lawsuits have filed claims for the money. Marsha Levick, an attorney with the Juvenile Law Center, said it’s not known yet how the court will decide to divide any remaining money once all the various categories of claims are resolved. The settlement, reached in Decem- Mericle ber, created three classes of claimants, all of which appeared before former county Judge Mark Ciavarella between Jan. 1, 2003, and May 28, 2009. Eligible juveniles will receive anywhere from $500 to $5,000, depending on the circumstances of their case. Those who suffered the most egregious harm are eligible for additional money from an “enhanced benefit” fund. Each of the claimant classes has a specific dollar amount for distribution. Roughly 1,050 claims were filed. The fact there are fewer claimants than were eligible does not necessarily mean the money earmarked for those funds – and thus the distribution to juveniles – will increase, Levick said. “It’s impossible to answer that right now,” Levick said. “It’s not appropriate to say. We had the number 2,400 (claims) in our head and everyone would get ‘x’ amount. Now it’s half that number, everyone gets twice as much. That’s not the way it works.” Levick said it’s common for many people who are eligible for money in class-actions suits not to file a claim. She said she was pleased by the response in the Mericle case. “The vast majority of class actions provide a relative small return for a huge number of class members. By all accounts, a response of 40 percent is very good,” she said. Mericle was among numerous defendants who were named in lawsuits filed by juveniles who claimed they were improperly incarcerated at two juvenile detention centers that were co-owned by attorney Robert Powell. The lawsuits alleged Mericle, who built the centers, was part of a conspiracy to violate juveniles’ rights in order to benefit himself financially. The settlement resolves complaints against him. Claims against several other defendants remain pending. Juveniles who wished to take part in the settlement were required to file a claim by May 13. Attorneys are continuing efforts to verify the claims that have been filed. Attorney Sol Weiss, one of the plaintiffs’ attorneys, filed a motion Thursday that asks a judge to allow a private vendor to assist the Luzerne County Juvenile Probation Department in collecting juvenile records that are needed to verify the claims. The probation department has compiled information on about 450 cases, but said it will need an additional three to four months to gather files on the remaining 600 cases. Weiss said that creates a problem because attorneys need to have all documents by mid-July to have enough time to evaluate them prior to the final settlement hearing, which is scheduled for September. Michael Vecchio, director of probation services, has opposed providing the files to a private vendor because some files include information on juveniles who are not part of the settlement. Weiss acknowledged that is an issue, but said the vendor has agreed to be bound by a confidentiality order that would preclude it from releasing any confidential information. U.S. District Judge A. Richard Caputo will take the matter under advisement and issue a ruling at a later date.

Russians mark Nazi invasion

Russian President Vladimir Putin takes part Friday in a wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier outside Moscow’s Kremlin Wall, Russia, to mark the 71st anniversary of the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union.

PHILADELPHIA — A Roman Catholic church official was convicted Friday of child endangerment but acquitted of conspiracy in a groundbreaking clergy-abuse trial, becoming the first U.S. church official convicted of a crime for mishandling abuse claims. Monsignor William Lynn helped the archdiocese keep predators in ministry, and the public in the dark, by telling parishes their priests were being removed for health reasons and then sending the men to unsuspecting churches, prosecutors said.

convicted only on one of the endangerment counts, leaving him with the possibility of 3 1/2 to seven years in prison. The jury could not agree on a verdict for Lynn’s co-defendant, the Rev. James Brennan, who was accused of sexually abusing a 14-year-old boy. Lynn has been on leave from the church since his arrest last year. He served as secretary for clergy from 1992 to 2004, mostly under Cardinal Anthony Bevilacqua. No matter the verdict, the trial exposed how deeply involved the late cardinal was in dealing with accused priests. Rarely an hour of testimony went by without Bevilacqua’s name be-

ing invoked. Bevilacqua had the final say on what to do with priests accused of abuse, transferred many of them to new parishes and dressed down anyone who com-

plained, according to testimony. He also ordered the shredding of a 1994 list that warned him that the archdiocese had three diagnosed pedophiles, a dozen confirmed predators and at least 20 more possible abusers in its midst. Prosecutors learned this year that a copy had been stashed in a safe. The judge ordered that Lynn’s bail be revoked and he was led to jail. The judge said she would at some point entertain a motion for house arrest. With the verdict, jurors concluded that prosecutors failed to show that Lynn was part of a conspiracy to move predator priests around. The jury, however, did find that Lynn endangered the victim of defrocked priest Edward Avery, who pleaded guilty before trial to a 1999 sexual assault.

That claim of victory was contested by Morsi’s rival, Ahmed Shafiq, ousted President Hosni Mubarak’s last prime minister.

Ranger dies on Rainier

The family of a Mount Rainier National Park ranger who died while helping rescue four climbers both grieved and celebrated his life Friday, as authorities faced the grim task of recovering the body of one of their own. Nick Hall, 33, slid more than 3,000 feet to his death Thursday as he was helping evacuate climbers from a crevasse by helicopter near the summit of the 14,411-foot mountain. Hall, a four-year veteran of the park’s climbing program, came from a family of EMTs who aided soldiers in Iraq and car crash victims in his small hometown of Patten, Maine. He was not married and had no children. BAGHDAD

Blasts kill at least 14

Two bombs exploded in an open-air market in Baghdad on Friday, killing at least 14 people in the latest round of spiraling violence six months after the last U.S. troops withdrew from Iraq. More than 160 people have died this month in attacks mostly attributed to Sunni insurgents linked to al-Qaida. They are targeting security forces and Shiite civilians in an attempt to weaken Iraq’s fragile government, which is mired in deadlock and struggling to provide security and even basic services like electricity. Friday’s explosions, timed within minutes of each other, came at midmorning in the mostly Shiite neighborhood of Husseiniyah in northeast Baghdad. No one claimed responsibility. WASHINGTON

Cheney’s gay daughter wed

Mary Cheney, the openly gay daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, has married her longtime partner, Heather Poe. The couple, who live together in Virginia and have two children, were married Friday morning in Washington, D.C., according to the Daily Caller, a news site co-founded by Neil Patel, a former adviser to the former vice president. The Cheneys are perhaps the most prominent Republican family to embrace same-sex marriage. Dick Cheney has long believed that the question of same-sex marriage should be left to states, but he also supported an effort by te George W. Bush administration for a constitutional ban on same-sex marriages.

18 die in attack on Afghan hotel Taliban insurgents kill mostly civilians in show of continued strength.

By AMIR SHAH Associated Press

KABUL, Afghanistan — Heavily armed Taliban insurgents stormed into a lakeside hotel north of Kabul and opened fire on guests inside, killing 18 people — most civilians — before the12-hour long rampage ended Friday morning, Afghan officials said. The brazen attack on a resort where many Afghans go to try to forget about the war was a dramatic reminder of the Taliban’s resiliency as in-

surgents push hard with their summer offensive in a show of strength as U.S.-led forces prepared to withdraw by the end of 2014. Insurgents first killed the security guards at the hotel, then pushed their way inside and began firing at guests who were having a late-night meal. Some of the guests escaped while others were held hostage as the attackers battled Afghan security forces who rushed to the scene for the next 12 hours. Kabul police said five attackers had been shot and killed by midday Friday, ending the standoff. The Taliban claimed only four of their fighters were involved in the attack on the Spozhmai hotel

at Qargha Lake, a popular weekend retreat about a halfhour drive from the capital. U.S. Gen. John R. Allen, the commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, said the attack was likely carried out by fighters loyal to the Haqqani network. The al-Qaida linked group is based in Pakistan and regularly targets Afghan and coalition forces in Afghanistan, and conducts deadly attacks in Kabul. “This attack bears the signature of the Haqqani network, which continues to target and kill innocent Afghans and blatantly violate Afghan sovereignty from the safety of Pakistan,” Allen said, adding that some victims were killed

in their sleep. He added that the coalition provided “minimal support” at the Afghans’ request. Kabul Police Chief Mohammad Ayub Salangi said the attackers — armed with machines guns, rocket-propelled grenades and vests laden with explosives — stormed the Spozhmai hotel at Qargha Lake before midnight on Thursday. By midmorning Friday, militants were still fighting Afghan forces, supported by international troops, and gunfire pierced the quiet surroundings of the lake area. Black smoke rose from the two-story hotel surrounded by trees as NATO helicopters circled overhead.

Bullying video riles public Donations to funding site for bus monitor reach nearly $500,000. By CHRIS CAROLA and MICHAEL HILL Associated Press

A video of four seventh-grade boys mercilessly taunting a 68-year-old bus monitor in New York state that went viral has turned the victim into an international fundraising juggernaut and opened her tormentors to an onslaught of threats and abuse. From around the world, small donations for Karen Klein poured into the crowd-funding site indiegogo.com, at one point crashing the site and pulling in a staggering $443,057 by early Friday. At the same time, police in the Roch-

ester suburb of Greece, N.Y., were stepping up patrols around the houses of the middle-schoolers accused of taunting her. Police didn’t name the boys but their purported identities leaked out on the Web. Greece Police Capt. Steve Chatterton was compelled to warn against vigilante justice. One boy received more than a thousand death threats and commenters online were clear — and sometimes venomous — in their desire that the boys be severely punished. “A threat for a threat does not make the situation better,” Chatterton said at a news conference Thursday afternoon. The verbal abuse was captured in a 10minute cellphone video recorded Monday by a student of Athena Middle School and later posted to YouTube. The video

shows Klein trying her best to ignore the stream of profanity, insults and outright threats. One student taunted: “You don’t have a family because they all killed themselves because they don’t want to be near you.” Klein’s oldest son killed himself 10 years ago.

BEIRUT — An online video showed more than a dozen bloodied corpses, some of them piled atop each other and in military uniforms, dumped beside a road in northern Syria in what the government Friday called a mass killing by rebel forces. The circumstances of the deaths were not immediately clear, with the state-run news agency saying at least 25 men were killed. In the video — which The Associated Press could not independently verify — the narrator said the victims were members of the “shabiha,” or pro-regime gunmen. If confirmed, the video is yet another sign of the brutality of the Syrian conflict, which began in March 2011. As the fighting grinds on, Syria is descending into a civil war where gunmen prowl the streets and gruesome massacres are growing increasingly common. The government has used heavy weapons and unleashed snipers and loyalist fighters, but rebels, too, have been accused of bloody attacks. Civilians have been caught in the crossfire; activists estimate that more than 14,000 people have been killed since the start of the uprising against President Bashar Assad’s regime. In a desperate bid to end the violence after an earlier peace plan failed to do so, U.N. envoy Kofi Annan said that Iran — one of Syria’s most loyal allies — should be part of the solution to the conflict. Syria’s state-run news agency, SANA, said the dead found in the rebel-held area of Daret Azzeh near Aleppo were killed and their bodies mutilated by terrorist groups. The government refers to rebels as terrorists. The amateur video showing the corpses appeared to back up the allegation of a mass killing. The report said at least 25 people were killed, but others were missing. It was not clear whether the men were killed execution-style or died in clashes. The city of Aleppo, Syria’s largest, has been relatively quiet, but towns and villages around it have seen intense clashes.

Opponent Stilp’s report listed $19,100 in income for 2011, with no loans or mortgages.

went into effect this year required that it be included. Federal lawmakers for the first time this year were required to include mortgage information concerning their personal residences. Barletta’s savings and investments included between $165,000 and $400,000 in cash with Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs banks, $15,000 to $50,000 worth of stock in Google Inc. and several investments in energy and pipeline companies. He listed between $1.75 million and $3.5 million in transactions with brokerage firm LPL Financial during 2011, the term of the report. Barletta will square off against suburban Harrisburg political activist Gene Stilp, a Democrat, in the November general election. Stilp’s financial interest statement was filed in March, the deadline for all congressional challengers. The Wilkes-Barre native who now lives in Middle Paxton Township, Dauphin County, listed $19,100 in income last year, all through contracts for supplying inflatable balloons that he owns or giving presentations. He does not list any loans, mortgages, credit card debts or income from rental properties. He does list dividends earned from dozens of investments he has made, including stocks he owns in companies ranging from communications companies such as AT&T and Verizon to food companies such as Pepsico, Kraft Foods, General Mills and Smuckers. Stilp said he often owns just a handful of shares in companies so he has the right to attend board meetings and speak his mind.

U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta’s mortgages and lines of credit taken against four properties total between $1.8 million and $6.7 million and he had at least at least $577,000 in financial investments in addition to real estate, according to the freshman congressman’s statement of financial interest, which he filed last month. According to the document, the Republican from Hazleton who represents the 11th Congressional District listed rental income of between $50,001 and $100,000 for a property he owns at 322 Rocky Road, Hazleton, that is rented by Interstate Road Management Corp. In association with that property, he listed a mortgage valued between $100,001 and $250,000 through First National Bank in Harrisburg and a line of credit from the same bank for between $100,001 and $250,000. He also has a mortgage through Wells Fargo for between $250,001 and $500,000 on his home at 1529 Terrace Blvd., Hazleton, and another one for between $1 million and $5 million for a vacation property in Bethany Beach, Del. He also took out two lines of credit through Wells Fargo for the Delaware property – one for between $50,001and $100,000 and another for between $250,001 and $500,000. Barletta also listed a mortgage through Bank of America for between $50,001 and $100,000 for a property on Carleton Avenue in Hazleton that he purchased last year for a family member. The Delaware property was not listed on Barletta’s previous financial report, but a rule change that

Board seeks more bids for hangar road Facebook posts among By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

PITTSTON TWP. – The WilkesBarre/Scranton Airport board Thursday authorized the administration to re-bid work on its hangar road project if the contractor won’t lower charges on change orders. Scartelli Construction Co. of Taylorholdsthecontractfortheproject, but Barry Centini, airport director,

Sexual assault retrial ordered By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

Luzerne County prosecutors have lost another appeal of a court ruling that granted a new trial to a former Hazleton man convicted more than 13 years ago of sexually assaulting two children. The state Supreme Court on Thursday declined to hear the appeal in the case of Gerald John Delbridge. The ruling leaves prosecutors no other option but to retry Delbridge if they want the conviction to stand. Delbridge, 51, was convicted in May 1999 of aggravated indecent assault and other offenses related to the alleged assault of a 6-year-old girl and 4-year-old boy who are related to him. Delbridge has adamantly maintained his innocence, arguing the children’s testimony was influenced by improper interviewing techniques. A Luzerne County judge in 2010 granted Delbridge a hearing to determine if the children had been improperly influenced. The state Superior Court later upheld that ruling, and also went a step further, granting Delbridge a new trial based on its finding his trial attorney, Thomas Pavlinic, was ineffective in representing him. The District Attorney’s Office

appealed to the state Supreme Court. The court, in a one-sentence ruling, declined to hear the case. It was not clear Friday whether the prosecutors will seek to retry Delbridge. First Assistant District Attorney Sam Sanguedolce said the age of the case will make it difficult to retry. He said prosecutors plan to meet with the alleged victims to determine if they still have any memory of the incident. “If we are in a position to retry it again, we will retry it,” he said. Attorney Kelly Bray of WilkesBarre, who represented Delbridge in the appeal, said Delbridge has already served 13 years of a 10-to-22-year sentence. She’s hopeful prosecutors will drop the case. “I would hope they would not retry it. He’s spent so long in prison for something he maintains his innocence on,” she said. Having served his minimum sentence, Delbridge is eligible for parole. He has been denied, however, in part because he has refused to admit guilt. Bray said he has vowed he will never do so. “He fought the charges adamantly from the beginning,” she said. “He has continually maintained he did not do this, and will never admit he did this.”

at future bids.” Board member Jim Wansacz, a Lackawanna County commissioner, asked Centini if the board could ban Scartelli in the future. Centini said if Scartelli submits bids on future projects, the company’s past practiceswillbetakenintoconsideration when awarding contracts. On Friday, Centini downplayed the situation, saying the airport is in negotiations with Scartelli and things can be worked out. “Wefeltthepricingonthechange orders was high,” he said. “Scartelli hasnotrefusedtodoanywork;their work has been OK so far. There are

some changes that have to be made and hopefully we can do it amicably.” Ralph Scartelli, one of four coowners of the company, said he doesn’t see any problems. “We told them we will work with them,” he said. “We estimated the costs and we’re absolutely willing to workwiththem.Wewanttogetitresolved and get the job finished.” Centini said the work includes conduit work, trenching and electrical wiring. “We weren’t happy with the prices we received,” Centini said. “We just feel they should be lower.”

Woman gets probation on forgery, theft charges

By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – An Edwardsville woman charged with forging checks that belonged to her deceased husband and attempting to steal from two stores was sentenced Friday to one year probation. Theresa A. Kistner, 57, of Cherry Street, was sentenced by county Judge David Lupas on two counts each of forgery and retail theft. Kistner pleaded guilty to the forgery charges in April and the retail theft charges Friday. According to court papers, in January 2011, police received a call from the branch manager of the UFCW Federal Credit Union in Kingston. Police learned that Kistner opened an account on Dec. 30, 2010, added her husband’s name, Joseph Kistner Jr., four days later and then cashed a U.S. Treasury/ Social Security check totaling $1,550. On Jan. 5, 2011, $1,000 was withdrawn from the account by Theresa Kistner, while an insurance company withdrew the remaining balance the following day, leaving the account empty. Several days later, the U.S. Department of Treasury called the

credit union about a certified letter to reclaim the $1,550 because Joseph Kistner had passed away on Dec. 14, 2010. When contacted by the bank, Theresa Kistner said she signed her deceased husbands name on the check, and that “at least my bills are paid…I needed the money.” The bank notified Theresa Kistner that she owed them $1,550 to pay the money back. Police said Kistner had failed to cooperate with the bank. In the retail theft incidents, police said on July 24, 2011, Kistner entered the Target store in Wilkes-Barre Township and attempted to take $678 in merchandise. Kistner told a store employee that she would shoplift some items for personal use because she had no money and others to be sold by an acquaintance. On Sept. 1, 2011, police said Kistner entered the Kmart store in Edwardsville and attempted to steal $154 worth of merchandise. Lupas said Kistner is not to enter any Target or Kmart stores, and must pay $1,549 in restitution to the credit union. The judge also ordered Kistner to undergo a mental health evaluation and continue with any counseling she is receiving.

issues raised at hearing

Attorney for former deputy sheriff Jennifer M. Roberts makes requests at hearing. By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Attorneys in the case of a former county deputy sheriff charged with assaulting a woman who had been seeing her former partner discussed several requests made in the case at a hearing Friday, including obtaining the social networking Facebook posts of the alleged victim. The hearing, held before county Judge Joseph Sklarosky, was scheduled to address requests made in the case by Jennifer M. Roberts’ attorney, Peter Paul Olszewski Jr. Roberts, 34, faces charges of burglary, simple assault, aggravated assault and harassment stemming from a July 22 incident in which police say she assaulted Wilkes-Barre resident Sheila Sult inside her residence, resulting in injuries that included a herniated disk in Sult’s neck. Roberts is scheduled to stand trial on Sept. 24. In January, Olszewski requested that evidence be excluded from the case, including protection-fromabuse petitions Roberts and her former partner, Mary Jean Farrell, filed against each other; any statements the two made to Luzerne County Sheriff John Gilligan and other requests. Olszewski made a number of requests Friday, saying he needed medical records belonging to Sult, social media networking pages be-

longing to Sult and evidence that Sult was on probation at the time of the alleged incident and may have been intoxicatRoberts ed. Sklarosky said he would rule on the motions at a later date and scheduled another pre-trial hearing. Olszewski and Senior Deputy Attorney General George Zaiser, who is prosecuting the case, agreed on some requests regarding handing over evidence. Called to testify by Olszewski on Friday, Sult said she began dating Farrell in May 2011and that shortly thereafter a number of problems occurred between the couple and Roberts. Sult cited a May 12 incident in which Sult said Farrell and Roberts began fighting, and Farrell ended up with a broken eye socket. In a May 28 incident, Sult testified she was at a local restaurant with Farrell when Roberts showed up and was upset Farrell wasn’t leaving with her. Sult testified a witness saw Roberts key Farrell’s vehicle in the parking lot. Olszewski said he needed the Facebook posts of Sult to show that she had been making online statements about the July 22 incident, including posting pictures of alleged injuries and making statements about Farrell and Roberts. Olszewski said it’s difficult to give Sklarosky guidance on state law to follow regarding Facebook posts in a criminal case because none exists, and it’s an issue no judges have ruled on regularly. the Township Road Department’s annual curb-side leaf pick-up program. This is due to maintaining the township’s machinery from being clogged from plastic bags. Bags may be purchased at most home improvement centers and department stores.

Weather Service in Binghamton, N.Y., dismissed those accounts. “We have had some sporadic reports. We heard about the bandshell being tossed,” said Nadolski. The NWS was in contact with Luzerne County Emergency Management Agency and the 911 center. He added, however, there was nothing remarkable weatherwise, “just thunderstorms with strong winds.” One person was injured when the beer tent was blown down, said Forty Fort Mayor Boyd Hoats Jr. But the man, a borough fire chief, declined medical treatment. Hoats and another man assisted in the cleanup and carried one of the tent’s metal support poles bent in a V from the force of the wind. The tent had been positioned near the bandshell, a stage on wheels with a roof, at the opposite end of the field from the amusement rides. But the bandshell, on loan from Wilkes-Barre, lay on its roof exposing its underside and wheels. Several large gashes were left in the rear exterior wall from a mobile generator that was pushed into the bandshell. Tony Thomas, a former Wilkes-Barre councilman, surveyed the damage. “I think it’s in pretty rough shape,” he said. The city would have to determine if the frame was bent and whether the bandshell could be repaired. It was booked all summer long for fairs, bazaars and outdoor events. A twisted stack of metal remained of Ruth Casey’s face-

She planned to return and reopen her business, Just Plain Crazy Face Art, today, saying “I can’t paint without lights.” A few feet away, Mike Jagodzinski checked out the trailer where he sold potato pancakes, noodles and cabbage and pierogies. Jagodzinski, who operates as Yogi’s, said his trailer was left untouched. “Look at the trailer,” he said pointing to the bandshell. “That’s unbelievable. That’s 15,000 pounds right there.” Close by workers from S&S Amusements grappled with the bent metal frame of what had been an umbrella for a kiddie carousel located in the middle of the rides at the west end of the field. Steve Swika III, co-owner of S&S, joined a crew of workers shutting down and securing the damaged carousel. “We’re going through every ride one at a time and make sure everything is safe before they open,” said Swika. Behind a chain link fence about 100 yards from the fair, two prop planes at the airport lay on their roofs. Lester Nothnagel of Exeter was securing his ultralight aircraft when the storm blew in. He sought cover in his pickup truck and positioned it to protect his aircraft. While doing so he saw one of the planes tumble upside down. Wind-driven hail pelted his truck and he thought his windows were going to break, he said. Nothnagel thought his truck was going to roll too in the wind. “I was moving. It moved my truck five feet,” he said.

Carnival workers try to pick up an umbrella from a ride at the Forty Fort 125th anniversary fair after strong winds ripped through the area Friday. A bandshell from the city of Wilkes-Barre was also blown over and damaged.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — President Barack Obama on Friday tailored his economic message to the Hispanic voters who could help swing the election, saying he would build upmiddle-class opportunity for Latinos while Republican rival Mitt Romney would gut it with “top-down economics” favoring only the rich. “These are all our kids,” Obama declared as the nation’s first black president lobbied for support in strikingly personal terms. When he meets young people of different backgrounds, Obama said, “I see myself.” “Who knows what they might achieve if we just give them a chance?” the president asked. “That’s what I’m fighting for. That’s what I stand for.” Obama spoke to the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials near Orlando, his first speech to a Hispanic group since he decreed that many young illegal immigrants brought to the United States as children would be exempted from deportation and granted work permits valid for two years He defended that decision as “the right thing to do” while conceding it was only a temporary patch. Hispanic voters are a vital constituency in states that could swing the election, from Florida to Nevada to Virginia.

The Susquehanna couldn’t squelch spirit of her people IN THE DAYS leading up to June 23, 1972, we all laughed a lot. We laughed about everything – even the pounding rain that seemed never-ending in the prior two weeks. But then the earthen levees, weakened by saturation from a bulging Susquehanna River, were overwhelmed. On Beade Street in Plymouth and on Riverside Drive in Wilkes-Barre, they gave way and the river grew to a mile wide, pouring into homes and businesses throughout Wyoming Valley. We didn’t laugh – or even smile – for a long time after. I was a flood victim and I worked in the recovery, helping coordinate the cleanup in Plymouth and in Kingston. Later I worked for the Luzerne County Redevelopment Authority and helped people return to their homes or purchase new ones. Every morning for weeks I stood on the steps of the old Plymouth Borough Building as workers showed up at daylight to get their assignments. They were paid $20 per day to clean the homes and businesses of their neighbors. They arrived clean each morning and returned in the evening covered in mud to collect their daily stipends without complaint. They knew there was a big job to be done and they did it.

Strong feelings revealed The Associated Press

Reaction to the conviction of Jerry Sandusky on 45 of 48 counts of child sexual abuse: “THE SENTENCE that Jerry will receive will be a life sentence.” Defense lawyer Joe Amendola “ONE OF THE recurring themes in this case was, ‘Who would believe a kid?’ The answer is ‘We here in Bellefonte, Pa., would believe a kid.’ ” Attorney General Linda Kelly. “NOBODY wins. We’ve all lost.” The mother of Victim 6, who testified against Sandusky in court. “TODAY A JURY did what so many other people and institutions failed to do — they held Jerry Sandusky accountable for sexually abusing children. This jury broke years of silence about Sandusky’s systematic targeting, grooming and abuse of children and finally delivered justice.” Justine Andronici and Andrew Shubin lawyers for Victims 3 and 7 and Matt Sandusky. “ROT in hell!” Yelled to Sandusky as he was taken to a sheriff’s cruiser to be driven to the Centre County Correctional Facility. “ALTHOUGH WE understand the task of healing is just beginning, today’s verdict is an important milestone. The community owes a measure of gratitude to the jurors for their diligent service. Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with the victims and their families.” The Paterno family

smartphones to take pictures as people filtered out of the building. As Sandusky was placed in the cruiser to be taken to jail, someone yelled at him to “rot in hell.” Others hurled insults and he shook his head no in response. Defense attorney Joe Amendola was interrupted by cheers from the crowd on courthouse steps when he said, “The sentence that Jerry will receive will be a life sentence.” Eight young men testified in a central Pennsylvania courtroom about a range of abuse, from kissing and massages to groping, oral sex and anal rape. For two other alleged victims, prosecutors relied on testimony from a university janitor and then-graduate assistant Mike McQueary, whose account of a sexual encounter between Sandusky and a boy of about 10 ultimately led to the Paterno’s dismissal and the university president’s ouster. Sandusky did not take the stand in his own defense. After the verdict was announced, defense attorney Karl Rominger said it was “a tough case” with a lot of charges and that an appeal was certain. He said the defense team “didn’t exactly have a lot of time to prepare.” Amendola said: “The jury acted in good faith. The jury acted on the evidence presented to it. We had a good jury.” Pennsylvania Attorney General Linda Kelly thanked the accusers who testified, calling them “brave men.” She said she hoped the verdict “helps these victims heal ... and helps other victims of abuse to come forward.” She said: “One of the recurring themes in this case was, ‘Who would believe a kid?’ The answer is ‘We here in Bellefonte, Pa., would believe a kid.’ ” The Allentown Morning Call reported the jury acquitted Sandusky of one count of raping a person under the age of 16 related to Victim 2, an unidentified boy former Penn State assistant football coach Mike McQueary testified about seeing Sandusky with in a locker room shower. They also acquitted on counts of indecent assault related to Victims 5 and 6, the newspaper reported. Victim 6 was a boy whose mother sparked an investigation in 1998 when she discovered

virtually indefensible case.” Defense attorney Nanda Palissery added the sheer number of victims in this case increases the suspicion of guilt and lends credence to the old adage, “Where there’s smoke there’s fire.” Palissery said he’s tried similar cases. “They’re difficult cases to defend,” he explained. “You have to point to a very specific rationale or reason why the victim in the case would not be telling the truth.” He held off predicting a verdict, however. “I never make a guess or prediction. Not sitting in the jury there’s no way to know how a juror sees the evidence,” he said. The defense most likely will appeal, the attorneys said.

FLOOD Continued from Page 1A

River overflowed the Wyoming Valley levee system, inundating Wilkes-Barre, the West Side and other areas. Floodwater sent an estimated 100,000 people fleeing to higher ground. For the Yunkunis family, it was 1955 all over again. “We just got in the car and went to the (West Side) vo-tech,” she said. A few days later, when police and National Guard troops began allowing residents back into the flooded areas Yunkunis, now 82, and her family got their first look at their West Union Street home. “I had 6 feet of water in my kitchen,” she said. “We had to borrow another $45,000 to put the house back in shape. I think it took about six months.” Scene repeated The Yunkunis family’s experience was a common one that summer. In June, Hurricane Agnes turned into Tropical Storm Agnes and churned up the East Coast. The slow-moving storm then stalled over upstate New York, dumping record rainfall into the Susquehanna River’s basin. On Thursday, June 22, low-lying areas of Luzerne County unprotected by the levee system experienced flooding. That system, built in the early 1940s, had been designed to hold back a rise in the river to 35 feet. But early on June 23 it became obvious to Civil Defense, now called Emergency Management, that the levee at Wilkes-Barre and the West Side would be topped. A general evacuation order was issued. All over what would come to be called the flood zone, as many as 100,000 people packed up what they could and headed for official

Sandusky showered with the boy. The ex-coach had repeatedly denied the allegations, and his defense suggested that his accusers had a financial motive to make up stories, years after the fact. His attorney also painted Sandusky as the victim of overzealous police investigators who coached the alleged victims into giving accusatory statements. But jurors believed the testimony that, in the words of lead prosecutor Joseph McGettigan III, Sandusky was a “predatory pedophile.” One accuser testified that Sandusky molested him in the locker-room showers and in hotels while trying to ensure his silence with gifts and trips to bowl games. He also said Sandusky had sent him “creepy love letters.” Another spoke of forced oral sex and instances of rape in the basement of Sandusky’s home, including abuse that left him bleeding. He said he once tried to scream for help, knowing that Sandusky’s wife was upstairs, but figured the basement must be soundproof. Another, a foster child, said Sandusky warned that he would never see his family again if he ever told anyone what happened. And just hours after the case went to jurors, lawyers for one of Sandusky’s six adopted children, Matt, said he had told authorities that his father abused him. Matt Sandusky had been prepared to testify on behalf of prosecutors, the statement said. The lawyers said they arranged for

Matt Sandusky to meet with law enforcement officials but did not explain why he didn’t testify. “This has been an extremely painful experience for Matt and he has asked us to convey his request that the media respect his privacy,” the statement said. It didn’t go into details about his allegations. Defense witnesses, including Jerry Sandusky’s wife, Dottie, described his philanthropic work with children over the years, and many spoke in positive terms about his reputation in the community. Prosecutors had portrayed those efforts as an effective means by which Sandusky could camouflage his molestation as he targeted boys who were the same age as participants in The Second Mile, a charity he founded in the 1970s for at-risk youth.

Sandusky’s arrest in November led the Penn State trustees to fire Paterno as head coach, saying he exhibited a lack of leadership after fielding a report from McQueary. The scandal also led to the ouster of university president Graham Spanier, and criminal charges against two university administrators for failing to properly report suspected child abuse and perjury. The two administrators, athletic director Tim Curley and nowretired vice president Gary Schultz, are fighting the allegations and await trial. Sandusky had initially faced 52 counts of sex abuse. The judge dropped four counts during the trial, saying two were unproven, one was brought under a statute that didn’t apply and another was duplicative.

evacuation centers or the homes of relatives on higher ground. Returned to a ‘nightmare’ Betty Lee Frusciante, now 77, and her family were living in Swoyersville, near the Denison Cemetery, when her daughter called to warn her to evacuate. “We had just added two rooms across the back,” she said. “We had a new furnace. I was horrified. I put towels in the windows like a dummy, thinking it was going to keep the water out.” Days later the Frusciantes returned through muddy, debris-filled streets to their home. “My wedding albums went. I had movies of the twins since they were born. It was a nightmare.” Lorraine Supchak, now 68, was just thankful that her North Gates Avenue, Kingston, home was still there when she finally got to it. “I didn’t know how the house was standing,” she said. “Half the two-by-fours were gone. It was just a shell.” All up and down the Susquehanna in Luzerne County damage was total. Aerial photos from the time show Wyoming Valley turned into a massive lake, the muddy river water filling it from mountain to mountain. The water went down quickly, and by early the following week people were being allowed back into the devastated area, but only during daytime, to begin the painful task of trying to clean and restore their homes and businesses. When a dry spell hit, the mud in the streets began turning to dust, giving the air a surreal yellow haze and forcing police and troops directing the slow-moving traffic to wear masks. Federal authorities quickly moved into action. The Department of Housing and Urban Development brought thousands of trailers to Luzerne County and established huge trailer parks where families could live at night, going

back into the flood zone to clean and repair their properties during the day. Those choosing to do without the trailers received $5,000 grants toward rehab work. In time, the Small Business Administration started a loan program for flood victims. Many stayed with relatives, friends or people who’d volunteered to take in flood victims. Some public buildings, such as GAR High School in WilkesBarre, were turned into refugee centers, housing individuals and families throughout the summer. Nixon toured region In the summer of 1972 it seemed that the eyes of the nation were on Northeastern Pennsylvania. President Richard Nixon toured the flooded area to raise victims’ spirits (even crashing a wedding). He appointed Northeastern Pennsylvania native Frank Carlucci to oversee recovery efforts. Entertainer Bob Hope also visited, and held a national telethon to raise money for flood relief. For all of Luzerne County, inside and outside the flood zone,

life was fully disrupted. It was months before telephone service and utilities were completely restored, while many businesses – employers of victims and non-victims alike – were shut down, unable to function because of the damage they’d suffered. Some roads were impassable because of flood damage. The North Street Bridge, linking Wilkes-Barre and Kingston, had been knocked down by the swollen Susquehanna. Making the simplest purchase could require a long drive, since so many stores were out of operation. For the first few weeks after the flood, banks, local governments and other institutions occupied temporary quarters. Local buses offered free rides. The WilkesBarre Record and The Times Leader, formerly separate newspapers, merged into a single edition, filled with flood-related news. Electricians, plumbers, carpenters and other tradesmen were overwhelmed with repair work, and long waiting lists were common. So people made do as best they could over the next few

Hamilton speaks for victims Former Penn State football player attorney Harry Hamilton kept his focus on the victims in the case. “I had an opportunity to share with the Sanduskys that my position is, was and will remain that the utmost concern has to be for the victims,” he said. “I am most sorry for the victims in this situation, speaking primarily about the young people who have become older people in this case.” Hamilton, a former standout at Greater Nanticoke Area High School in Nanticoke, who also played in the National Football League, added there are other victims and counted Sandusky’s wife Dottie among them. He did not consider the verdict as an end point, however. “It is very convenient to take a look at Jerry Sandusky and have a sense of relief that we did something. That is a horrifying mistake and a horrifying lie,” he said. Hamilton called for more protection for children in the legal system and pointed to the juvenile detention hearings in Luzerne County Court that resulted in an overhaul of the way cases were handled when former Judge Mark Ciavarella presided. Ciavarella was accused of participating in a kickback scheme involving the construction of for profit juvenile detention centers and the placement of youths in the facilities. He is serving a 28-year federal prison sentence. “I am going to be gravely disappointed if persons in the media do not examine the totality of what is involved in this situation and the Luzerne County Court situation when it comes to how we collectively deal with children,” said Hamilton.

torn down. Sometimes entire streets were reconfigured so that new construction could proceed. Case stepped down from his post in 1978, but major post-flood redevelopment continued through the mid-1980s. Nearly every community hit by the river in 1972 ended up with many new streets, new buildings and new parks and playgrounds. The levee system had taken a beating. The Agnes flood had crested at 40.9 feet, nearly 6 feet above the levee, and some areas were damaged or sunken.

Seven-time Tour de France champion answers charges made by anti-doping agency.

By JIM VERTUNO AP Sports Writer

AUSTIN, Texas — Lance Armstrong filed a scathing response Friday to the latest doping allegations against him, accusing the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency of violating its own rules and possibly breaking federal law during its investigation. The agency said Armstrong used performance-enhancing drugs and other improper Armstrong methods to win cycling’s premiere event, the Tour de France, from 1999-2005. Friday was the deadline for Armstrong to respond to USADA’s warning that charges were pending before his case moves to the next stage. Armstrong, who denies doping and notes he has never failed a drug test, could be stripped of his titles and banned from cycling, though he retired from the sport last year. In their 11-page document, Armstrong’s attorneys complained they still haven’t been allowed to see the evidence against him, including witness names and any expert analysis to support USADA’s claim that 2009 and 2010 blood tests are “fully consistent” with blood doping.

NEW YORK — Rather than easily barbecuing a few chickens as he had hoped, Frank Francisco was the one who almost had the feathers plucked off him in the Mets’ Subway Series matchup with the Yankees on Friday night. The Mets closer needed his usual tightrope, high-wire act but found a way to get it done, pitching a scoreless ninth to preserve the Mets’ 6-4 win before an announced Citi Field METS crowd of 40,191 that patiently waited out a 53minute rain delay that pushed back the game’s YANKEES first pitch. Ike Davis hit a threerun homer in the first — aided when the ball popped out of rightfielder Nick Swisher’s glove and over the fence — Justin Turner drove in a pair of runs and David Wright chipped in a run-scoring double in the seventh to help the Mets win their fourth straight game. The Mets batted around in the first inning against Andy Pettitte, getting five runs and six hits, stunning the Yankees out of the gate en route to their first Subway Series victory in four games this season. Alex Rodriguez’s solo homer to dead centerfield in the sixth, which landed squarely inside the housing for the Mets’ home run apple, ended Jonathon Niese’s shutout bid. Andruw Jones added a solo shot to left in the seventh to bring the Yankees within three and help chase an

Pittsburgh sent Jordan Staal to Hurricanes where he will join brothers Eric and Jared. By WILL GRAVES AP Sports Writer

PITTSBURGH — Jordan Staal wanted a family reunion, and the Pittsburgh Penguins obliged. The Penguins traded the talented center to the Carolina Hurricanes for two players and Carolina’s first-round pick in the NHL draft that was held in Pittsburgh on Friday night. The 23-year-old Staal helped the Penguins win the Stanley Cup in 2009 but reportedly balked at signing a contract extension. Staal has one season left on his current four-year deal. Rather than continue negotiating, the Penguins shipped him to the Hurricanes, where Staal will join brother Eric. Carolina also has Jared Staal — Jordan and Eric’s brother – currently playing in the American Hockey League. Pittsburgh received center Brandon Sutter and defenseman Brian Dumoulin in the deal as well as Carolina’s eighth-overall pick in the draft, which the Penguins used to select defenseman Derrick Pouliot. The move came shortly after the Washington Capitals dealt a second-round pick and center Cody Eakin to the Dallas Stars for center Mike Ribiero. The 32-yearold Ribiero tied for second on the Stars last season in points, scoring 18 goals to go with 45 assists in 74 games. Earlier in the day, the Philadelphia Flyers shipped backup goalie Sergei Bobrovsky to the Columbus Blue Jackets for three draft picks — a second-rounder and fourth-rounder in this draft and a fourth-rounder next year. The New York Islanders also acquired veteran Lubomir Visnovsky from the Anaheim Ducks for New York’s second-round selection in 2013. On a day when speculation about the future of Columbus star Rick Nash abounded, it was the Penguins who provided the draft with a jolt by sending the popular Staal packing. NHL commissioner Gary Bettman hinted at the impact moments before announcing the trade. Penguins general manager Ray Shero thanked Staal for his contributions to the franchise before taking Pouliot as the capacity crowd at Consol Energy Center roared its approval. The move is a stunning end to a hugely successSee STAAL, Page 6B

Namey said Meyers isn’t the only school experiencing success with female athletics in the Wyoming Valley Conference. “Our area here, due to a lot of outstanding coaches particularly Karen Klassner (Wyoming Seminary field hockey coach and athletic director), have really proDON CAREY/THE TIMES LEADER FILE PHOTO moted field hockey where girls are getting scholarships to major Division I col- Wyoming Seminary field hockey coach leges at a pace that rivals and in some and athletic director Karen Klassner

Forty years ago, President Richard Nixon signed the bill that provided equal opportunity for women in schools throughout the country. Today, the impact of Title IX shows with the success of female student-athletes at the local high school level. “In the seventies, female athletics might have been a passing hobby for some girls in high school,” said Mike Namey, Meyers athletic director. “Now it’s big business, big opportunity and it’s something that is really phenomenal to see.” Namey gives credit to Carol Thorpe and Mary Ellen O’Brien for the success of See TITLE IX, Page 5B

ON THE MARK

AMERICA’S LINE

It is indeed just a huge night of racing highlighted by the $500,000 Earl Beal Jr. Memorial Final, featured as the twelfth race on the card. By Roxy Roxborough In that exciting Beal Final I am going with the freakish trotter known BASEBALL as Googoo Gaagaa. The cross-bred colt has been nothing short of senOdds sational for owner-trainer Richard Hans. He has won ten times in Favorite Interleague eleven lifetime starts, with his only defeat coming when he made a 8.5 rare miscue. Last week in his elimination driver Corey Callahan float- MARLINS Cards 9.0 ed him to the lead, from post six, and set the fractions the rest of the RANGERS 10.5 way scoring in a world record time of 1:51.3. The scary thing was how Rays 9.0 effortlessly this Cam’s Rocket colt did it. He faces a stern test today, Indians 9.0 with his main foe drawing to his inside in Stormin Normand (the Tigers 8.5 other elimination winner), but I believe this star of tomorrow is ready REDS 8.5 to turn some more heads and win going away in what should be just a Yankees 8.5 sensational final.

Burnett, Pirates shut down Tigers The Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — A.J. Burnett pitched six shutout innings to win his seventh consecutive start and the Pittsburgh Pirates won for the fifth time in six games, 4-1 over the Detroit Tigers on Friday night. Burnett (8-2) allowed two hits and three walks and struck out four to extend his streak of starts that resulted in victories to the longest for a Pirates pitcher in 38 years. Doc Ellis won eight consecutive outings in 1974. Burnett matched his career high by winning a seventh consecutive decision. Andrew McCutchen went 3-for-4 to improve his batting average to .346 and Rod Barajas added two hits for the Pirates (37-32), who matched a season high by going five games over .500. Ramon Santiago had an RBI double for the Tigers, who had won four of five. Detroit missed a chance to move back to .500 for the first time since being 18-18 on May 15. Orioles 2, Nationals 1

BALTIMORE — Jason Hammel pitched eight innings of five-hit ball and had a career high-tying 10 strikeouts to lead the Baltimore Orioles past the Washington Nationals. Coming off a one-hit shutout against Atlanta, Hammel (8-2) allowed an unearned run in improving to 5-0 lifetime against Washington. The righthander has gone 19 straight innings without giving up an earned run, a streak that began on June 10 against Philadelphia. Hammel did not walk a batter and was removed after 96 pitches. He came within one inning of becoming the first Oriole to throw two straight complete games since Sidney Ponson in May 2004. Jim Johnson got three outs for his 21st save. Twins 5, Reds 4

CINCINNATI — Ryan Doumit and Ben Revere each had four hits, leading the Minnesota Twins to a victory that gave the Cincinnati Reds their season-high fourth straight loss. Doumit hit a solo shot off Homer Bailey (5-5), who angrily left the field after failing to get through the sixth inning. Revere broke an 0-for-15 slump with four singles. Blue Jays 12, Marlins 5

MIAMI — Jose Bautista homered and drove in three runs, Kelly Johnson also had three RBIs and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the skidding Miami Marlins. Brett Lawrie had three hits and scored four times to help the Blue Jays end an eightgame losing streak to the Marlins, who own a 17-5 advantage in the series. Miami has lost five straight and 14 of 16 overall.

the lone run with a single in the 10th and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Chicago White Sox. The Brewers finally pulled out a close win after dropping five of the previous nine by one run, thanks to one dominant pitching performance and one clutch hit. Rangers 4, Rockies 1

ARLINGTON, Texas — Roy Oswalt pitched efficiently into the seventh inning in his first start of the season and the Texas Rangers won their seventh straight, beating the slumping Colorado Rockies. Oswalt (1-0) allowed one run and nine hits in 6 2-3 innings to win for the first time since Sept. 27. The 34year-old pitched with Philadelphia last season and signed with the Rangers on May 29. Indians 2, Astros 0

HOUSTON (AP) — ShinSoo Choo hit a leadoff triple and Michael Brantley drove in a run late to back up a strong start by Ubaldo Jimenez and the Cleveland Indians got a win over the Houston Astros. Choo’s triple was one of only two hits the Indians managed in seven innings against Houston starter Lucas Harrell (6-6) as these teams met for the first time since 2001. Choo made it 1-0 when he scored on a sacrifice fly by Asdrubal Cabrera after his triple. Brantley added an insurance run for the Indians with his RBI single with one out in the ninth inning. Jimenez (7-5) allowed four hits with eight strikeouts in 6 2-3 innings. Chris Perez struck out the side in the ninth for his major league-leading 23rd save. Cardinals 11, Royals 4

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Carlos Beltran hit two two-run doubles in his return to Kauffman Stadium, and the St. Louis Cardinals pounded Vin Mazzaro and the Kansas City Royals. David Freese and Tyler Greene added two RBIs each for St. Louis, and everybody in the starting lineup had a hit before the fourth inning ended. Jon Jay returned from the disabled list to go 1 for 5 and score twice, and Matt Carpenter came off the DL to go 2 for 4 with an RBI. It was plenty of offense for Joe Kelly (1-0), who gave up three runs over six shaky innings to pick up his first major league victory in his third career start. Braves 4, Red Sox 1

BOSTON — Jair Jurrjens made an impressive return to the majors by limiting the Boston Red Sox to one run and three hits, leading the Atlanta Braves to a win. Jurrjens, an All-Star last season when he topped the Braves with 13 wins, worked 7 2-3 innings and left after alBrewers 1, White Sox 0 lowing an RBI double by DaCHICAGO — Zack Greinke niel Nava that drove in Will pitched three-hit ball over nine Middlebrooks, who led off the innings, Rickie Weeks drove in eighth with a double.

T H I S D A T E I N B A S E B A L L 1917 — In baseball’s greatest relief effort, Ernie Shore of the Boston Red Sox relieved pitcher Babe Ruth with nobody out and a man on first. The base runner was cut down stealing and Shore retired all 26 batters he faced to gain a 4-0 victory over Washington. Ruth walked Eddie Foster to open the game and was ejected after arguing with umpire Brick Owens. 1950 — Hoot Evers’ game-winning home run in the ninth inning gave the Detroit Tigers a 10-9 victory over the New York Yankees as the teams combined for 11 home runs, a major league record. The Yankees hit six. 1963 — Jimmie Piersall, playing for the Mets in New York, hit his 100th career home run and celebrated by running around the bases backward.

1971 — Rick Wise of the Philadelphia Phillies pitched a no-hitter against the Cincinnati Reds and hit two homers. Wise became the first pitcher to hit two homers while throwing a no-hitter. 1973 — Pitcher Ken Brett of the Philadelphia Phillies hit a home run in the fourth consecutive game that he pitched in June. He beat Montreal 7-2. 1984 — Chicago’s Ryne Sandberg hit two late-inning home runs off St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Bruce Sutter to tie the game twice as the Cubs went on to win 12-11 in 11 innings. Sandberg led off the ninth inning with a solo home run to tie the game 9-9 then hit a two-run, two-out homer in the 10th to tie the game 11-11. Willie McGee hit for the cycle and drove in six runs for St. Louis. Today’s birthday: Matt Daley 29.

effective Niese. Robinson Cano blasted a two-run bomb off Miguel Batista in the eighth, shaving the Mets’ lead to 6-4 and setting things up for Francisco to make good on his word, when he said how he "can’t wait to face those chickens." Francisco yielded a frozen rope to Russell Martin to center that Andres Torres made a nice catch on for the first out of the ninth. Francisco walked pinch hitter Raul Ibanez and Derek Jeter singled to left with one out, bringing pitching coach Dan Warthen out for a visit. Francisco struck out Curtis Granderson on three pitches and got Mark Teixeira to pop up to shortstop for the game’s final out, earning his 18th save of the season. Niese was extremely efficient, allowing a pair of runs and eight hits in 6 1/3 innings. He struck out five and walked one, throwing 68 of his 102 pitches for strikes. He escaped early trouble in the first and in the second and other than the mistakes to Rodriguez and Jones, the lefty was solid, earning his fifth win of the season and second victory in three decisions in June. Pettitte tossed only one bad inning, but it was costly. The Mets put runners on first and second with no outs on Andres Torres’ leadoff walk and Ronny Cedeno’s single up the middle. But David Wright grounded into a fielder’s choice at third, and after Scott Hairston walked to load the bases, Lucas Duda flied out to shallow centerfield for the second out, which wasn’t deep enough to plate Torres from third. However, Justin Turner came through with a two-out single, lacing a 1-and-1 fastball up the middle to score Cedeno and Wright for a 2-0 lead. The Mets entered the game having scored 150 two-out runs, the most in the majors, and boasted the fifth-highest average with two outs at .263. So they weren’t done. Davis’ high fly toward the rightfield corner appeared to hit the tip of Swisher’s glove and trickled over the bright orange line atop the "Wheat Thins" sign just to the left of the foul pole. Davis’ blast, his eighth of the season, gave the Mets to a 5-0 lead. After Mike Nickeas and Niese got base hits, Torres lined out to center to end the 32-pitch inning for Pettitte.

40TH ANNIVERSARY OF TITLE IX

Passed law helped King succeed By MELISSA MURPHY AP Sports Writer

NEW YORK — Serena Williams and Mia Hamm are helping Billie Jean King spread the word about keeping girls in sports in conjunction with the 40th anniversary of Title IX. Williams, a 13-time Grand Slam champion, is featured in national magazine ads that show her as a young girl whacking a tennis ball and the words: “If I walked away then, I wouldn’t be here now.” Hamm, the former U.S. soccer star, has tweeted about the Women’s Sports Foundation’s campaign to promote active and healthy lifestyles. Girls drop out of sports at twice the rate of boys by age 14, according to the WSF. “I loved the way I felt when I was playing a sport: free, confident and a sense of purpose,” Hamm said. “I think at that age we are all trying to figure out where we fit in, and sport helped to define that for me.” The foundation that King founded wants to keep girls in the game longer through its youth programs, offset messages focusing on looks rather than abilities and help them become successful leaders.

“You see how (the law) helped (girls) go on to be great in business or just adapt better. I just love what it does for girls and for boys. It’s funny, it’s a big deal when a girl has these attributes, but it’s kind of a given when you’re a guy.”

Billie Jean King

If girls are involved in sports or physical activity by age 10, they’re much more likely to be active at 25, King said. That can help fight obesity, which the Center for Disease Control reports has more than tripled in the past 30 years among ages 619. Title IX passed on June 23, 1972, and opened doors for girls and women by banning sex discrimination in all educational programs — including sports — that receive federal funds. That marked a banner year for the 28-year-old King, who won Grand Slam titles at Wimbledon, the U.S. Open and French Open to earn the cover of Sports Illustrated as “Sportswoman of the Year.” King spoke this week at a Senate hearing on Title IX and recently discussed with The Associated Press the importance of

the law and the pivotal role her parents played in her sporting career. — Where have you seen the most progress from Title IX in the last 40 years? King: “Probably just the participation level from 1 out of 27 girls in high school to1out of 2.5. You see how it’s helped them go on to be great in business or just adapt better. I just love what it does for girls and for boys. It’s funny, it’s a big deal when a girl has these attributes, but it’s kind of a given when you’re a guy. It’s all the same stuff that my brother (former pro baseball player Randy Moffitt) learned. It’s a culture.” — What role do parents play in sports? King: “Parents are huge. Parents should get their kids into exercise of some sort, or go take a walk with them anyway. Get

them in sports, if possible. I think a lot of time the father is the one that get the girls into sports, but now that we’ve got a few generations of Title IX babies, I think they definitely play a big part, too.” — How did your father, the late Bill Moffitt, influence you? King: “He’d play catch with me all day because he was home every other day as a firefighter in my young years. He would throw the ball so I could hit it. He’d ... time me when I ran from Molly’s tree to our tree. “When I was about 5, the boys wouldn’t let me play. He says, ‘Everybody come over here, if you don’t let Billie play, no one’s playing. So let her play, she’s very good, she can hold her own with you guys.’ And we’re just tiny. I was so embarrassed, but then I was so proud at the same time.” — What lessons came from mother Betty Moffitt, who turned 90 this month? King: “She gave us balance. It wasn’t just sports, which was great. She was a jock herself, but didn’t talk about it. She deferred to my dad a lot then, you know that generation. She was a good athlete, she was a good swimmer.”

Germany wins 15th in a row Germans oust Greece and haven’t lost competitively since 2010 World Cup. By CHRIS LEHOURITES AP Sports Writer

GDANSK, Poland — With Chancellor Angela Merkel cheering every step of the way, Germany dominated Greece — on the soccer field. The Germans reached the European Championship semifinals for a record seventh time by beating Greece 4-2 Friday in a match played amid the contentious political backdrop between the countries. But just as in the real world, where Germany has been a major contributor to economic bailouts for Greece, the three-time champions were in control at the Arena Gdansk. And after the match, Merkel visited the players in the changing room. “(Merkel) congratulated us and said that we played very well,” Germany forward Mesut Oezil said. “The rest of what she said will stay among us.” Philipp Lahm put Germany in the lead in the 39th minute as his team controlled nearly every facet of the game. Although Georgios Samaras tied it for Greece in the 55th, it was all Germany after that as Sami Khedira, Miroslav Klose and Marco Reus scored. It was the 15th consecutive competitive victory for Germany, dating back to the win over Uruguay for third place at the 2010 World Cup. The Germans will go for No. 16 against either England or Italy in the semifinals on Thursday in Warsaw. Although Germany dominated from the start, the Greek defense held strong for much of the first half. Lahm put his team in

front by controlling the ball with his chest and dribbling toward the middle before sending a long-distance shot into the corner off the hand of Greece goalkeeper Michalis Sifakis. “We couldn’t breathe and did very little with our chances and on set pieces,” Greece coach Fernando Santos said. “The first goal made things very difficult for us, despite our good defensive effort.” The Greeks looked better at the start of the second half, and tied it when Samaras knocked the ball past Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer after a perfect cross from Dimitris Salpigidis. It was one of Greece’s few forays into Germany’s side of the field. “Greece is a curious team. They had one chance and scored two goals,” Germany coach Joachim Loew said. “But we didn’t get nervous after 1-1, and the goals came.” They did indeed. Khedira volleyed in a cross from Jerome Boateng in the 61st, and Klose headed in a free kick from Oezil in the 68th as Sifakis was late to punch the ball away. “When we conceded a second goal we had to open up and that cost us,” Salpigidis said. “I hope the Greeks got some encouragement from watching us fighting.” Reus made it 4-1 in the 74th, volleying a shot in off the underside of the crossbar after Sifakis made a save on Klose. Salpigidis added a consolation penalty for Greece in the 89th. “We scored twice. We did what we could,” Greece defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos said. “Maybe we could have been a bit more careful but we fought hard, we fought for the whole of Greece.”

Germany head coach Joachim Loew hugs Sami Khedira after winning the Euro 2012 soccer championship quarterfinal against Greece Friday.

Loew dropped his three main forwards for the match, including leading striker Mario Gomez, but their replacements did just fine. Klose, who has Polish heritage, constantly troubled the Greek defense and linked up well with Oezil and Andre Schuerrle. Greece had one major change in its lineup, but it was because of suspension. Captain Giorgos Karagounis sat out the match after picking up a yellow card in the 1-0 win over Russia for diving. Without him in the midfield, the Germans had little trouble controlling the play and creating chances. “We made it to the last eight and this is very important,” Papastathopoulos said. “The Netherlands didn’t make it and we are talking about a very big country in football terms.”

nization,” Barletta said. “During 2010, the Hazleton Area School District initiated a self-evaluation of its programs by conducting an independent Title IX Athletic Program Compliance Review.” The Wilkes-Barre Area School District has a similar system to make sure equality continues in athletics. “We would have a person or a group of people that would be considered compliance officers that are in the school districts themselves,” Mike Namey, Meyers athletic director, said. “They will constantly review the state of Title IX when it is in relation to our school district.” Schools also continue to look for ways to improve what they do to make their athletic programs better. “We always keep an update as to changes that are ongoing across the state,” Namey said. “We’re very proud here in the Wilkes-Barre area that we believe we’re on top of it as much as we can be given any circumstances and all the stipulations that come with it.” Nancy Roberts, Dallas Area High School athletic director, makes sure male and female athletes receive equal treatment, benefits and opportunities. “Since I have been here at Dallas we have taken Title IX very seriously as far as all

TITLE IX Continued from Page 1B

cases surpasses football,” Namey said. Klassner started coaching field hockey at Wyoming Seminary during the inception of Title IX in 1972 and created a successful program that has won five state championships, six district championships and 10 league championships. Women involved in sports at Wyoming Seminary also continue to experience success at the collegiate level. “We have three young ladies going to Division I schools in field hockey and five young ladies going on to play ice hockey at a variety of programs,” Klassner said. “We currently have field hockey players playing at Boston College, Duke, North Carolina, Villanova, Princeton, Fairfield, Penn, Ursinus, Haverford, Brown and Columbia.” In the 2012 Olympics, Dallas High School graduate, Paige Selenski, will play for the U.S. field hockey team. Selenski graduated from Dallas in 2008 and moved on to play field hockey for the University of Virginia before getting the call to play for the U.S. Before 1980, the Olympics didn’t include a field hockey competition for women. “Title IX has increased self esteem, strength, and character in our female athletes,” Nancy Roberts, Dallas athletic director, said. “They live in a world where they have never known sexism in sport.” As a child, Roberts loved sports, but didn’t have the opportunity to play any organized sports. The passing of Title IX gave her the chance to become the athletic director at Dallas and work in the field of athletics. “It has changed the world for women,” Roberts said. “It has been the reason for my opportunity to have coached at Wilkes University, Kenyon College in Ohio, Williams College in Massachusetts and Rider University in New Jersey as well as serving as an associate athletic director at Rider University.” At Hazleton Area High School, the women’s teams account for six of the eight top teams, according to winning percentage, over the past 20 years. They have also won 29 district championships, according to Fred Barletta, Hazleton Area athletic director. “If you compare female athletics in the Hazleton Area School District today with its predecessors of 1972 the impact is self evident,” Barletta said. “Forty years ago the ratio of male teams to female was four to one. Today the ratio is equal for the most part with12 boys sports,11girls sports

prongs of the law,” Roberts said. “Facilities, budget, travel, participation numbers, coaches’ salaries and sport choices all have been equal. At Dallas, this is the norm as we feel it is simply the right thing.” Roberts also said athletic interests and abilities of male and female athletes must be equally accommodated. “Every school may have different views on this but at Dallas we focus on equal treatment of female and male athletes with equal athletic opportunities and oppose doing this with decreasing male opportunities,” Roberts said. Like Dallas, Hazleton Area also doesn’t decrease male opportunities because of Title IX. “Because Title IX does not mandate that aggregate expenditures be equal for each sex, the Hazleton Area School District has not cut funding for male sports to accommodate Title IX,” Barletta said. Other responsibilities include promotion of sports, safety of sports programs and eligibility of the individual athlete. Before becoming an athletic director, Namey coached at Meyers for 25 years. He said the job takes up a lot of his time and is much more demanding than coaching a team but he still loves it. “It’s an opportunity to take all those things that you would like to see in programs and begin to put your fingerprint on them by molding programs and pushing them in a direction that you would like to see,” Namey said. and one co-ed sport.” Hazleton Area female athletes have also earned seven full athletic scholarships over the past 25 years. Girls volleyball, swimming and track and field teams at Holy Redeemer High School have won six, three and two consecutive district championships, respectively. “We have girls graduating from our school who have excelled in the classroom as well as the playing field and are using that athletic ability to play at colleges such as Penn State University, the University of Pittsburgh and Northwestern University just to name a few,” J.P. Aquilina, Holy Redeemer athletic director, said. The Holy Redeemer girls basketball team has also won five consecutive conference championships while the girls tennis team picked up their first last season. “Without Title IX, we might not have been able to provide the opportunities these girls deserved and we might not have been able to see them succeed the way they have,” Aquilina said. “When you give girls the opportunity to succeed, they will take it and run with it.” Despite its impact on sports, Title IX doesn’t simply apply to athletics. “What people don’t realize is that a number of areas of federally-funded education programs are covered by Title IX including access to higher education, career education, employment, learning environment, math and science, standardized testing, sexual harassment and technology,” Klassner said. Klassner said the enactment of Title IX also gives women the opportunity to learn quality life skills sports provide. “Title IX helped make it clear that athletics falls under the umbrella of educational opportunity,” Klassner said. “I have often felt athletic participation helps you learn about yourself and the world around you. Athletics helps with the tools you need to be successful.” Title IX not only allows females to earn opportunities at the athletic level but also in careers surrounding sports. “Many of our female athletes have pursued careers in coaching, sports medicine and athletic administration and sport management,” Roberts said. Barletta said Hazleton Area female graduates also work as coaches and athletic administrators at the high school and collegiate levels. “The increase in athletic opportunities on both the scholastic and college levels afforded by Title IX legislation has led to an increase in women pursuing athletic oriented careers,” Barletta said.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

Campbell officially re-joins former program Last Berwick coach heads back to Wahconah Regional in Dalton, Mass. By JOHN MEDEIROS jmedeiros@timesleader.com

When Gary Campbell reaches out to you via text, the signature offers a hearty “Go Blue!” the moniker attached to the Wahconah Regional Warriors. Just a few days ago, the signature was “Go Dawgs!” The Central Berkshire Regional School District made it official this week, approving the return of Campbell to his

former school in Dalton, Mass. “Wahconah Athletics is pleased to announce that Gary CampCampbell bell Jr. has been hired as Head Football Coach and Co-Athletic Director,” tweeted Wahconah co-AD Ken Pease on Thursday. “Everything is signed, sealed and delivered,” Campbell said Friday night. Pease announced meetings with Campbell for all of the adults involved in the football program Sunday at 6 p.m., and

Campbell will meet his new team during a gathering with his players Monday at 9 a.m. That means plenty of miles on Campbell’s car this weekend, and this summer. “This Sunday night I’ll be meeting everyone in the organization from K through 12th grade in football in the Central Berkshire Regional School District and Wahconah Regional,” Campbell said. “Everyone from the flag football program on up to former coach Steve Stengl, who coached the team the past two seasons. “It’s a time for me reintroduce myself and, since it’s been six years, introduce myself to

some people new to Wahconah football since I left.” Since Campbell left, Wahconah won 47 games over those six seasons, according to listings on maxpreps.com. During that same span, Campbell was 46-25 at Berwick. "You couldn’t ask for a better person to come back," Stengl told The Berkshire Eagle of Pittsfield, Mass. Stengl stepped down due to responsibilities with his career. "I coached under him for years. You learn so much from the guy." William Cameron, superintendent of the Central Berkshire Regional School District, said that Campbell’s return in-

Higgs, Tsevdos lead Nanticoke past Plains By Times Leader Staff

NANTICOKE – Morgan Higgs went 3-for-3 at the plate and drove in a run in Nanticoke’s 2-1 defeat of Plains on Friday in Wyoming Valley American Legion League play. Cody Tsevdos pitched six innings for the win, striking out three along the way. Rob Sorokas drove in Plains’ lone run.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Scranton/Wilkes-Barre continued an unfortunate road trip to the International League West. The Yankees dropped their fifth straight game on Friday, losing 4-2 to I.L. West leader Indianapolis at Victory Field. The Yankees were coming off a fourgame sweep in Louisville. Despite not getting their first hit until two INDIANS outs in the sixth inning, the Yankees held a lead twice in the YANKEES game. First, they took a 1-0 lead on their first hit of the contest in the sixth, an RBI-single by Ronnier Mustelier. But Indianapolis answered right back in the bottom of the frame to even the score at 1-1 on a sacrifice fly by Brandon Boggs. SWB took a 2-1 lead in the top of eighth when Kevin Russo scored Chris Dickerson with a single. And again, the Indians fought back to not only the game this time, but take a two-run lead with a three-run inning against Yankee reliever Justin Thomas, who relieved Ramon Ortiz. Indianapolis tagged Thomas (1-1) for three runs on four hits in just 2/3 of an inning. The big hit was a two-run single from Chase d’Arnaud to put the Indians ahead 4-2. Thomas’ first blown save of the season spoiled another good outing from Ortiz, who pitched seven innings only allowing one run on five hits. He whiffed seven and walked four. Indianapolis starter Justin Wilson held Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in check only giving up the hit to Mustelier. He also allowed three batters to reach with walks. Two of the walks came before Mustelier’s hit with two outs. The Yankees only mustered three hits in the game being outhit 9-3.

Djokovic to open defense vs. Ferrero at Wimbledon By BARBARA SURK Associated Press

STAAL Continued from Page 1B

ful run in Pittsburgh for Staal, taken with the sixth pick in the 2006 draft. Staal quickly developed into a linchpin of Pittsburgh’s meteoric rise through the league. Teaming with Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, Staal gave the Penguins arguably the best trio of centers in the NHL. He was a valuable penalty killer and began developing a deft touch around the net in recent years. He scored a career-high 25 goals in the 2011-12 season despite missing 20 games due to injury. The move gives Carolina an elite young forward they hope will continue to flourish alongside big brother Eric. “Right back to when all these Staal brothers were drafted,

they said at some point in their career, they’d all like to play together,” Hurricanes general manager Jim Rutherford said. “This will be a real good fit for them. I think they can have some fun with this. These are guys that can dominate games, and so I think it all fits together for the two brothers and the family.” Another brother, defenseman Marc Staal, plays for the New York Rangers. The Hurricanes entered the offseason hoping to pick up a top-shelf forward to complement Eric Staal, the team captain and unquestioned face of the franchise, either via a trade or free agency. Jordan Staal and Nash were the biggest names on the trade front. New Jersey’s Zach Parise heads up the freeagent class that can begin talking to new teams on July 1. Once Staal reportedly turned

down an extension earlier this week to stay in Pittsburgh, speculation quickly picked up around the Hurricanes. Rutherford said Penguins GM Ray Shero called him at about 4:20 p.m. on Friday to say he probably would be moving Staal. He said the deal with Carolina was completed at 6:45 p.m. and announced moments before the Hurricanes were to make their first-round pick at No. 8. Rutherford said contract talks with Jordan Staal — whose current deal expires after the 201213 season — will probably begin in early July. The price Carolina had to pay for their third Staal was rather steep. The 23-year-old Sutter, the Hurricanes’ first-round pick in 2007, has 53 goals and 54 assists in parts of four promising NHL seasons.

WIMBLEDON, England — Top-ranked Novak Djokovic will begin the defense of his Wimbledon title Monday against Juan Carlos Ferrero, the former No. 1 player and 2003 French Open champion. Djokovic and Ferrero last played five years ago and have split their two matchups. Friday’s draw also slated Djokovic to meet 2010 finalist Tomas Berdych in the quarterfinals then possibly six-time champion Roger Federer. That would be their sixth semifinalinthelasteightGrandSlams. Djokovic leads them 4-1. Federer opens against Albert Ramos of Spain. Second-seeded Rafael Nadal and fourth-seeded Andy Murray were in the bottom of the draw. Nadal, the two-time champion, will meet Thomaz Bellucci of Brazil first up, and Murray plays former top-five player Nikolay Davydenko. On the women’s side, Maria Sharapova, who is the top seed for the first time, has a first-round match with Anastasia Rodionova of Australia, and defending champ Petra Kvitova plays Akgul Amanmuradova of Uzbekistan. Sharapova and Kvitova could meet in the final for a second straight year. Also in separate halves of the draw were Venus and Serena Wil-

liams,whosharenineWimbledon titles and met each other in four finals. Serena (No. 6) was seeded to meet Kvitova (No. 4) in the quarterfinals. Williams beat Kvitova in the semifinals in 2010 en route to her fourth Wimbledon title and 13th and last Grand Slam victory. Venus, unseeded for the first time since her tournament debut in1997 and struggling with an autoimmune disease, plays Elena Vesnina of Russia, then could run into No. 3 Agnieszka Radwanska in the second round. Kim Clijsters, unseeded and counting down to her retirement in September, was drawn against another former top-ranked player, Jelena Jankovic, in the first round. Clijsters has been sidelined for most of the year with injuries and withdrew from the Unicef Open semifinals in the Netherlands on Friday because of a stomach muscle strain. The draw also gave hope to extending the long-running Wimbledon saga: John Isner vs. Nicolas Mahut. The pair played the longest match in tennis history, more than 11 hours over three days, in the first round in 2010. Isner won a second time — in about two hours — in the first round last year. The American and Frenchman could meet in the second round this year. Isner could run into Federer in the quarters.

NHL

Yakupov taken by Oilers with top pick in draft By WILL GRAVES AP Sports Writer

PITTSBURGH — Nail Yakupov grew up idolizing Pavel Bure. The18-year-old Yakupov is already one up on the Russian Rocket. The Edmonton Oilers selected the dynamic forward with the No. 1 pick in the NHL draft on Friday night, hoping Yakupov is the next piece of a core that includes center Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and winger Taylor Hall, the top picks in the previous two drafts. It is heady territory for Yakupov, who wears the same No. 10 as Bure, who scored 437 goals during his 12-year career after being taken in the sixth round of the 1989 draft. Yakupov, who scored 31 goals in 42 games last season for the Sarnia Sting of the Ontario Hockey League, is eager for the next step following weeks of speculation. “There’s no pressure now, I’m just excited,” he said.

So are the Oilers, who believe the 5foot-11, 185-pound Yakupov is the attacking sniper they need to return the franchise to respectability. Yakupov broke Sarnia’s rookie scoring record — held by Steven Stamkos — in 2010-11 when he finished with 49 goals and 101 points. Yakupov is the first Russian-born player to be taken with the top pick since the Washington Capitals grabbed Alex Ovechkin in 2004. The Columbus Blue Jackets tried to address their woeful defense by taking Ryan Murray of the Western Hockey League’s Everett Silvertips with the second pick. The 6-foot, 198-pound Murray scored nine goals with 22 assists in 46 games last season. The 18-year-old Murray became the youngest player since Paul Kariya in1993 to play for Team Canada in the World Championships this spring. Montreal chose Yakupov’s good friend and Sarnia teammate Alex Galchenyuk with the third overall pick. The talented

center missed all but two games of the 2011-12 regular season after tearing a knee ligament. Galchenyuk, born in the United States to Russian parents, is considered a gifted passer. He totaled 31 goals and 52 assists during the 2010-11 season. He already speaks two languages and joked that he had better start picking up French. “I think I have classes starting next week,” he said with a laugh. With the top high-flying forwards off the board, teams then went heavy on defense in a draft considered short on offensive star power. The New York Islanders chose defenseman Griffin Reinhart with the fourth pick, starting a run of seven straight defensemen taken. The eight blue-liners picked in the top 10 is a draft record. The host Pittsburgh Penguins, however, broke up the monotony and gave the proceedings a major jolt when they traded center Jordan Staal to the Carolina Hurricanes.

The 23-year-old Staal, entering the final year of his contract, reportedly turned down a lengthy extension offer from the Penguins this week. He will join brother Eric in Carolina. Pittsburgh received Carolina’s first-round pick as well as center Brandon Sutter and defenseman Brian Dumolin. The Penguins drafted defenseman Derrick Pouliot with the eighth overall pick, acquired in the deal. The announcement by NHL commissioner Gary Bettman drew a roar from the crowd that packed Consol Energy Center. Staal helped the Penguins win theStanleyCupin2009andisconsidered one of the top two-way forwards in the game. Penguins general manager Ray Shero thanked Staal for his contributions to the team’s success and then quickly moved to grab Pouliot, of the Portland Winterhawks of the Western Hockey League. The 18-year-old Pouliot had 11 goals and 48 assists for the Winterhawks last season.

Defending champion leads at Travelers

Ganassi team hopes to get back on track

The Associated Press

CROMWELL, Conn. — Defending champion Fredrik Jacobson is in a familiar spot at the Travelers Championship. For the second straight year, Jacobson had a 9-under 131 total for 36 holes, following his opening 65 with a 66 on Friday. And for the second consecutive year, bad weather pushed back the completion of the second round to Saturday. The Swede wouldn’t mind if history kept repeating itself. He’s trying to join Phil Mickelson, the 2001 and 2002 winner, as the only players to successfully defend a title at River Highlands. “Any tournament is tough to win,” Jacobson said. “To win two in a row is probably tougher. But you know, you have the thing going for you that you have some good memories to draw from, so hopefully that allows a little bit to increase your chances.” Charley Hoffman opened with a par and birdied the next five holes to move within a stroke of the lead before rain suspended play for the day. Nathan Green also was 8 under when the horn blew at 3:19 p.m. He finished nine holes. “It was a nice five-hole run,” Hoffman said. “Obviously, I wish I probably could have kept it going a little longer, but obviously in a good frame of mind heading into tomorrow.” It was the second weather delay of the day. The first lasted 70 minutes. Jacobson played before the rain hit the course. He started on the back nine and followed up two birdies with an eagle on the 13th hole. He hit his second shot 240 yards over the water and onto the green, and made a 40-foot putt on the par 5.

“It’s going to be tough to drive it the way I did the last two rounds last year, where I didn’t miss the fairway,” Jacobson said. “So, I’m not going to chase that. But yeah, probably I have been playing about the same as I did the first couple days of last year.” Blake Adams had a 64, the best round of the day, to join Stuart Appleby and Roland Thatcher at 7 under. Appleby had a 65, and Thatcher shot a 67. Adams had five birdies on the back nine. “I think I finally woke up,” said Adams, who bogeyed the final two in the first round for a 69. “I was just kind of making some silly bogeys all day yesterday and early this morning, and I finally got rid of those silly errors and made some birdies.” Appleby, who has played 13 tournaments and missed eight cuts this season, had seven birdies in shooting his best round of the year. “I’m thinking better, I’m getting better,” Appleby said. “I wasn’t hitting it any good and I wasn’t thinking any good and I was just really finding it hard.” First-round leader David Mathis fell back to 3 under with a 73 that included a double bogey at 16, where he need three putts on the par 3 hole, and a bogey on 17.

John Cook, the winner last year at Fontainebleu, opened with a 71. Inbee Park tops LPGA Tour leaderboard WATERLOO, Ontario — South Korea’s Inbee Park birdied her final two holes for a 7-under 64 and a one-stroke lead Friday in the inaugural Manulife Financial LPGA Classic. The 2008 U.S. Women’s Open champion had a 9-under 133 total at Grey Silo. Seven players were unable to complete play Friday because of darkness. Rain Thursday forced

the suspension of first-round play until Friday morning, delaying the start of the second round. China’s Shanshan Feng, coming off a major victory two weeks ago in the LPGA Championship, was a stroke back along with Brittany Lang and South Korea’s Hee Kyung Seo. Feng and Seo shot 68, and Lang had a 65. Rookie Sandra Changkija, the first-round leader after a 63, was 7 under after a 72. Second-ranked Stacy Lewis, a two-time winner this season, was 6 under after a 64. Michelle Wie, trying to break out of a season-long slump, shot her second straight 70, breaking par for only the third time in 19 rounds this year. She also made her first cut of the season.

Woman hit with ball sues Little League player The Associated Press

MANCHESTER TOWNSHIP, N.J. — A New Jersey woman who was struck in the face with a baseball at a Little League game is suing the young catcher who threw it. Elizabeth Lloyd is seeking more than $150,000 in damages to cover medical costs stemming from the incident at a Manchester Little League game two years ago. She’s also seeking an undefined amount for pain and suffering. Lloyd was sitting at a picnic table near a fenced-in bullpen when she was hit with the ball. Catcher Matthew Migliaccio was 11 years old at the time and was warming up a pitcher. The lawsuit filed April 24 alleges Migliaccio’s errant throw was intentional and reckless, “as-

saulted and battered” Lloyd and caused “severe, painful and permanent” injuries. A second count alleges Migliaccio’s actions were negligent and careless through “engaging in inappropriate physical and/or sporting activity” near Lloyd. She continues to suffer pain and anguish, incur medical expenses and has been unable to carry out her usual duties and activities, the lawsuit says. And Lloyd’s husband, in a third count, is suing for the loss of “services, society and consortium” of his wife. They’ve demanded a jury trial. Anthony Pagano, a lawyer for the Migliaccios, said the lawsuit is frivolous and without merit. “I just think that it’s disgusting that you have people suing an 11-

year-old kid for overthrowing his pitcher in the bullpen,” Pagano said. “It’s horrible this can actually happen and get this far. Ultimately, hopefully, justice will prevail.” The count alleging negligence and carelessness is covered by homeowner’s insurance, Pagano said, but the other counts are not. Little League has denied any coverage. Lloyd’s lawyer was out of the office Friday and could not be reached for comment. Steve Barr, a spokesman for Little League, declined to comment on the litigation. He said each local league is required to have accident insurance, but that only covers personnel. “That includes coaches, players, even concession stand work-

ers. But it does not cover spectators,” Barr said. Matthew’s father, Bob Migliaccio, said they were concerned for Lloyd when it happened. Then his son started receiving threatening and nasty letters, he said, and he started getting angry. “The whole thing has almost been surreal,” Migliaccio said. “We keep thinking it’s just going to go away, and then a week and a half ago a sheriff shows up at my door to serve my son the papers.” Migliaccio said if his son had been horsing around, he would feel differently. But Matthew was doing what his coaches told him to do, he said, and noted Little League players aren’t always accurate in their throws.

SONOMA, Calif. — It’s been a continuous search for consistency at Chip Ganassi Racing, where the NASCAR program has never matched the performance levels of its dominant IndyCar entries. But there’s no bitterness from Juan Pablo Montoya or Jamie McMurray, who have watched from afar as IndyCar counterparts Dario Franchitti and Scott Dixon race for wins and championships every year. “I don’t think we are jealous,” McMurray said. “We are happy for those guys.” Franchitti, the four-time IndyCar champion, won his third Indianapolis 500 last month, and Dixon reached Victory Lane a week later at Belle Isle and is currently in the thick of the title race. But they both had to overcome early season struggles, which hasn’t been lost on Montoya. “I laugh because this year has been the hardest year for them for quite a few years, and I am like ‘Welcome,’” he said, smiling. Indeed, welcome to the upand-down battles that Montoya and McMurray have faced the last several years in Ganassi’s NASCAR program. The two head into Sunday’s race at Sonoma at just about the halfway mark of another rebuilding year for the organization. McMurray is 18th in the Sprint Cup Series, Montoya is 19th and combined they have only five top-10 finishes all season. But they say their cars are better, they’ve had increased speed of late and they are pleased with the direction of the race team. “I think we’ve done a lot of progress,” Montoya said. “If you really go through the team right now and see how different everything is working, it’s pretty amazing. We haven’t had the results we want to have, but I think there has been a lot of really good changes and we’ve been putting people in the right places. “You want to run better overnight, but things have got to change. Everybody has got to adapt, and it’s a process. But I really feel we made a lot of gains with the car and a lot of gains in how the engineering program is working and we definitely have been making progress.” Ganassi and co-owner Felix Sabates had arguably the most aggressive offseason in NASCAR as sweeping changes were made to the organization. Competition director Steve Hmiel and longtime team manager Tony Glover were replaced, and Brian Pattie left the organization at the end of the season after being removed as Montoya’s crew chief in late July. Ganassi brought in Max Jones as general manager, John Probst as technical director and lured Chris Heroy away from Hendrick Motorsports to crew chief Montoya. There has been added personnel, improved engineering and a cohesiveness that was absent last season, when both driv-

Marcos Ambrose makes it 2 in a row

SONOMA, Calif. — Marcos Ambrose had never won a Sprint Cup Series pole before last week. Now he has two in a row. Ambrose won the top starting spot for Sunday’s race at Sonoma with a fast lap around the 1.99-mile road course. He knocked off Jimmie Johnson, then waited to see if Jeff Gordon could beat him. Gordon was the last driver to attempt to qualify, and just missed the pole. Gordon wound up second in Friday’s qualifying session. Johnson was third, followed by Greg Biffle and Michael Waltrip Racing teammates Martin Truex Jr. and Clint Bowyer. Brothers Kyle and Kurt Busch qualified seventh and eighth. Sprint Cup Series points leader Matt Kenseth was ninth, and Ryan Newman rounded out the top 10.

ers went winless and failed to contend for spots in the 12-driver Chase for the Sprint Cup championship field. It was a dramatic drop-off from 2010, when McMurray won three races — including the Daytona 500 and the Brickyard 400 — and the drivers were far more competitive. “It seemed like everything was going in the right direction, and the next year (in 2011) ... we just dropped the ball completely,” Montoya said. “Last year was frustrating, it was more about arguing. Once we changed everybody on the team — it’s nice to be here, it’s really fun to be here. We have really good people and you know they are working their butts off together to give us better race cars every weekend.” McMurray said there have been times this season when either he or Montoya has one of the fastest cars on the track, but the team is still working on getting both cars clicking at the same time and putting together complete races. “It gets better every week. We made all those changes in the offseason, and I don’t think any of us expected to change all those people around and immediately be where we were in 2010,” he said. “The teams are working really well together. The way the team is structured with personnel in the engineering department and the crew chiefs, it’s so much better than it was last year. “It’s a completely different environment than what it was a year ago, and it’s all for the better. And Chip is still out hiring people and looking for more engineers and more people to make it better than what it is right now. My guess is somewhere around the last 10 races we’re going to see a lot of the progress. It takes time.” Still, both think they’ll be competitive Sunday at the road course in scenic Sonoma. Montoya will start 12th; McMurray goes off 25th.

Swimming’s next star? Seventeen-year-old is getting praise before London

By BETH HARRIS AP Sports Writer

With Michael Phelps headed for retirement after the London Olympics, the United States will be in need of its next big star in the pool. Paging Missy Franklin. The 17-year-old swimmer from Colorado with the can’t-miss smile (now braces free), maturity and charisma seems more than capable of answering the call. Franklin is certainly as versatile as Phelps, to whom she’s often compared. The 14-time Olympic gold medalist has paid her the ultimate compliment for any swimmer, calling her “a stud.” The swimming world has already taken notice of Franklin. This summer the rest of the world will, too. Being tabbed as her sport’s next big thing is a label Franklin isn’t completely comfortable with. “It’s an honor, but it’s still hard to believe and I don’t really think of myself like that,” she said recently. “I still see myself as a girl that just gets to go swim every day with all of her friends.” Franklin will be doing just that at the U.S. Olympic trials, which begin Monday in Omaha, Neb. She’s entered in five events — the 100 and 200 backstroke, the 100 and 200 freestyle and the 50 free. She must finish in the top two to qualify for an individual event and the top four in the freestyles to be assured of consideration for the relays in London. Franklin comes into the eight-day meet — regarded as more pressurepacked than the Olympics themselves — with the fastest seed time in the 200 back, and the second-quickest times in the 100 back and 100 and 200 free. Her time in the 50 is 11th-fastest. “I haven’t gotten nervous yet, but I am sure it will come,” she said. “I get nervous, especially at the big meets, but I am also comfortable with that feeling because it doesn’t take me long to get relaxed and ready to perform.” A compelling matchup comes against 11-time Olympic medalist Nata-

Proud to be passing the torch The Associated Press

BLACKPOOL, England — Sgt. Rick Clement plowed up Dickson Road on Friday, the Olympic torch attached to the side of his wheelchair, flame burning despite pouring rain. The crowd clapped solemnly, water slapping against their hands, cheering on a soldier who had stepped on a mine in Afghanistan and changed his life forever by leaving him legless. He didn’t seem to mind the drenching — or the fact that his section of the torch relay was all uphill — but he did want everyone to think about other service people, some far, far way. “I just want everyone to be a bit proud of the forces and the job they do really,” he said. “I’m carrying it for all the troops that are out there.” Scenes like this have made the torch relay an event across the length of Britain, with huge crowds coming out to meet it wherever it goes. Spectators have stood in the rain and wind, in doorways and on sidewalks, along country lanes and beside superhighways, just hoping for a glimpse of a lone runner, torch in hand, flame held high. The torch is winding its way to every corner of the country ahead of its showcase moment at the July 27 Opening Ceremony. On Friday, it was halfway through its 70day journey, a route which will see it travel within 10 miles (16 kilometers) of 95 percent of the British population. It’s been on horseback. It’s traveled on a balloon. It’s been on boats, planes, trains. It’s been carried by Olympians and Paralympians, singers and dancers, police officers and firefighters. The queen’s granddaughter, Zara Phillips, has shared the honor with James Winter, a 40-year-old milkman from Chard who was nominated for delivering, no matter the weather.

Franklin is an imposing figure when she steps on the starting block. At the “take your mark” call, she coils her 6foot-1 frame, the toes on one of her size 13 feet curled on the edge of the block, and waits for the sound of the electronic starting beep. Then she flies off the block and cuts into the water, surfacing several meters later using her 6-3 wingspan and large hands to churn through the pool. Four years ago in Omaha, Franklin was an anonymous 13-year-old competing in three events. Her best finish was 37th in the 100 free. “I was in complete awe,” she recalled. “It was so exciting to swim in front of 8,000 people in prelims. It will help going back this year. I feel like I know the pool and will understand the weight of what’s going on.” The trials spotlight will shine brightest on the rivalry between Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte, but Franklin is next in line to carry the load. She comes in as the world champion in the 200 backstroke and has been relentlessly hyped as a likely Olympic star.

lie Coughlin in the 100 back. Coughlin is the top seed with a time of 59.12 seconds; Franklin is second at 59.18. Those two will square off in the 100 Franklin free, too, where Franklin is seeded first and Coughlin second. They got to know each other during last year’s world championships in Shanghai, where Franklin impressed Coughlin with her ability to handle bigmeet pressure. The teenager calls the 29-year-old veteran a role model. “I get to have a real friendship with her, which is so, so exciting and a memory I will carry with me for the rest of my life,” Franklin said. She figures to make plenty of memories over the next couple of months, and not just in the pool. “I will get to meet a bunch of great new people, too,” she said. “It’s not all about the pressure of performing — the Olympics is also about having fun.”

Missy Franklin, 17, is entered in five events at next week’s U.S. Olympic trials – the 100 and 200 backstroke, and the 50, 100 and 200 freestyle.

Not just for her swimming ability, either. There’s her catchy nickname, “Missy the Missile,” bestowed by her father, Dick, five years ago. And her boundless energy, unflagging enthusiasm (even for morning prelims), and humor have impressed her fellow swimmers on the national team. “It’s unbelievably refreshing to have her energy on this team,” Coughlin has said. Franklin is conscious about not annoying anyone who might not share her excitement for life’s moments, both thrilling and mundane. “She’s what you’re supposed to be,” Jack Bauerle, who coached the U.S. women at worlds, said last summer. “She makes everybody on the team a little bit better, cares about everybody else and really has an innocence about her that she just loves to race.” The teenager who only learned to drive last summer is already the prize recruit among college coaches eager to snag her for their programs. Southern California’s Dave Salo said he and several other coaches have informally agreed not to court Franklin during next week’s trials. She and her parents remain adamant that Franklin plans to swim in college, which is why she’s turned down six figures in prize money as well as untold thousands more in endorsements. Her parents have fended off agents who’ve suggested Franklin forgo college to rake in the big bucks now. She’ll be a senior at Regis Jesuit High in suburban Denver this fall. “For my parents to let me turn down the money that I have been offered to go pro, it’s unbelievable,” said Franklin, an only child who came along later in the lives of her father, a clean-energy consultant, and her mother D.A., a family physician. “They want me to enjoy my senior year in high school. I am so excited to be a senior, finally. It doesn’t get more fun than that.”

EUGENE, Ore. — Sanya RichardsRoss stepped over a puddle, ran hard for a few more steps, then jogged to the finish line for an easy win. A routine result Friday at the raindrenched Olympic trials that left one of America’s biggest track stars with nothing to complain about. Well, almost nothing. “Other than it messing up my hair, it’s OK,” she said. Richards-Ross ran her qualifying heat in the rain-drenched 400 meters in 51.69 seconds, winning by 0.55 seconds even though she jogged to the finish. “We all have to compete in it,” said Richards-Ross, who will also try to qualify in the 200 next week. “Whatever it is, go out here and put in your best show.” A few minutes earlier, defending Olympic gold medalist LaShawn Merritt took to the rain-slickened track, sidestepped a runner who fell in the lane next to him and finished in 45.36 seconds, the best time in the men’s heats. “I saw him and I had to do a little step more toward the inside of my land, where I should’ve been in the first place,” Merritt said. Jeremy Wariner, the 2004 Olympic champion, also advanced to today’s semifinals, though his race wasn’t quite such a breeze. He finished third in his heat in a time of 45.84. “Just clearing the cobwebs out,” Wa-

riner said. “I worked my turn pretty well. I saved a lot for the homestretch.” David Neville, the 2008 Olympic bronze medalist, finished last in his heat and won’t go to London unless he is chosen for the relay team. The 400 runners have semifinals today, with finals scheduled for Sunday. In the women’s 100 hurdles, defending Olympic champion Dawn Harper won her heat in12.79 seconds — a victory she earned even though she didn’t have the ideal, track-grabbing spikes in her shoes. “I actually change spikes” when it rains, she said. “Usually, the pointier ones grab the track. It was on my mind out there because I had the older ones in.” Lolo Jones also qualified but not by much. She finished third in her heat for the last automatic qualifying spot after running 13.01. Her race was delayed when Shericka Ward false started. “I felt really good, but it was a bad race,” Jones said. “After the false start, I just relaxed a little bit too much.” Meet organizers scrubbed women’s pole vault preliminaries, meaning all 29 athletes, including 2008 Olympic silver medalist Jenn Suhr, will move to finals Sunday. In the decathlon, Ashton Eaton was ahead of a world-record pace for two events. His shot put throw of 46 feet, 7 3/4 inches slowed him down, but he still led two-time world champion Trey Hardee by 205 points with six events to go.

this summer. It was fun playing against him in the finals, but you could just tell he was very focused from the beginning of the season.” The Heat have reached both finals since James and Chris Bosh joined Dwyane Wade in Miami two summers ago. They had to experience finals failure their first time, a path the Thunder will have to take. “Well, they’re going to gain a lot,” Wade said. “You know, it’s scary to see those young guys, man, and to be in this position. They’re so talented. They have an unbelievably bright future here. But one thing I’ve learned, nothing is promised. You have to seize every moment.” Wade won a title in 2006, then needed six years and a historic free agency haul before the Heat could add a second. With their Big Three in place, it seems unlikely the wait for another will be as long, especially if James remains as driven as he was this season. They will have to continue finding supporting players such as Mike Miller, who signed on shortly after the All-Star trio. After battling numerous injuries the last two years, the reserve made seven 3-pointers in the clincher. “Well, we believe that we built a team that’s going to be around for a while, and our goal is to hopefully come back every year,” team

“long on stale allegations disproved long ago and short on evidence” and “offensive to any notions of due process.” Armstrong’s case now goes to a three-person USADA review board, which will decide if there is enough evidence to support the charges. If USADA files formal charges, the case could go to a three-person arbitration panel by November. “The Review Board must recommend that this case not move forward,” the letter said. Armstrong’s attorneys made similar claims in previous letters, but Friday’s document appeared to lay out his potential legal strategy should he file a federal lawsuit against USADA. Armstrong’s letter argues that USADA’s rules allow the review board to consider materials submitted from an accused athlete,

president Pat Riley said during the trophy presentation. Riley wouldn’t guarantee a repeat, as he once famously did at a championship celebration while coaching the Los Angeles Lakers. The closest he came to a prediction this time came as he congratulated the Thunder organization. “We hope to see them again,” Riley said. “I’m sure that we will.” In Durant and Russell Westbrook, the Thunder have their two All-Stars locked up long term. Their difficulty will be in retaining fellow 23-and-under core pieces James Harden, the Sixth Man of the Year, and Serge Ibaka if they become free agents after next season. The new spending rules that came out of the lockout included a much steeper luxury tax system that could deter most teams — especially a small-market one like Oklahoma City — from wading too far over the salary-cap line in search of a contender. The James-Durant matchup, together with all the attention the Heat already drew, gave the NBA one last triumph in a season that was already better than it expected. The lockout hardly hurt at all, with fans coming right back and tuning in even more for the 66game season that began on Christmas with the Heat routing the Dallas Mavericks in a finals rematch. The Mavericks never gave themselves a shot to get back, letting key pieces leave so they could save money for free agency that begins July 1. The Thunder have no such concerns, and they will join the Heat as the favorites to be playing in mid-June next year. but complains that he can’t mount a legitimate defense until he’s able to see the evidence against him. USADA has said it is withholding witness identities to protect them from intimidation. If the case moves to an arbitration hearing, Armstrong will be allowed to review the evidence in advance and will be allowed to cross-examine witnesses. Travis Tygart, USADA’s chief executive officer, said in a statement that the rules “provide full due process and are designed to get to the truth.” USADA’s warning letter to Armstrong said 10 former teammates are willing to testify that they either know he used performance-enhancing drugs or talked about using them and encouraged them within the team. USADA says Armstrong used the blood-booster EPO, steroids and improper blood transfusions. Armstrong’s attorneys say they believe USADA investigators coerced false testimony from witnesses by promising not to

Quiet night in Cleveland despite King’s title By TOM WITHERS AP Sports Writer

CLEVELAND — On the same sidewalk where fans torched a LeBron James jersey in protest two summers ago, office workers on their lunch hours passed gamblers headed to the new downtown casino. Just another summer day. While James was in Miami celebrating his first NBA title, fans in the city he scorned to chase a championship had a much more subdued, internal reaction. There were no angry protests, no public outrage, no threats of harm. Those days have long past. The king got his ring. And Cleveland, where sports despair’s roots have grown for generations, seemed to sigh in acceptance. “In a way I’m kind of happy for him,” bartender Natalie Hardik said between serving pints of beer at Flannery’s, an Irish bar and restaurant across the street from Quicken Loans Arena, where James once starred. “But I definitely still feel a lot of bitterness toward him — everyone does.” This city, yearning to celebrate its first pro sport championship since1964, hasn’t forgiven James for leaving as a free agent in 2010. Many can’t let it go. There’s lingering pain and resentment, but charge them with doping; they argue this could violate bribery laws. They also question whether USADA improperly gained access to testimony in a recent federal grand jury criminal investigation that ended in February with no charges filed against Armstrong. The letter notes that Tygart participated in witness interviews with federal criminal investigators. Armstrong’s letter also challenged the 2009-2010 blood tests, which were taken during his twoyear comeback from retirement. Armstrong passed all his drug tests during that period and posted his testing results on his website, Livestrong.com, and no charges were brought, the letter said. It also said most of the allegations fall outside of USADA’s eight-year statute of limitations but the agency argues that Armstrong keeps expanding the time limit by continuing to deny drug use.

LeBron James spent the first part of his career in Cleveland then spurned the team to sign with Miami in 2010.

there’s also a sense that it’s time to move on. Some Clevelanders already had. “I hope they have moved on, and I kind of felt many fans had come to accept this would happen during the season,” said TV sports anchor Jim Donovan, a longtime Cleveland resident. “Fans felt him winning it all was inevitable, and I think some of them may have given up because it’s exhausting to root against the

guy. It’s better to root for your team.” Cleveland reveled in seeing James fail in last year’s finals. This time, there was no stopping him. And the sight of James, who grew up in nearby Akron and spent seven seasons with the Cavaliers, hugging and hoisting a championship trophy was tough to stomach. “I had mixed feelings,” said Mike Kubinski, who watched Thursday’s Game 5 at home in Cleveland’s Tremont district. “It’s a lot like when your ex-girlfriend or ex-boyfriend gets married. It’s not fun.” As he spoke, Kubinski stood just a few away from an outdoor clothing kiosk at Westlake’s Crocker Park, where “Lyin’ King” T-shirts were sold after James’ departure in 2010. Now, there’s hardly a trace of James anywhere to be found in Cleveland, where his No. 23 jersey was once omnipresent and his likeness loomed above the city on a giant downtown billboard. “LeWho?” said Jimmy Pearl of Cleveland. “He left. Outta sight, outta mind, my man.” Coincidentally, at about the exact time James and the Miami Heat were dispatching the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday night, a storm rumbled in across Lake Erie, its thunder and light-

ning providing the perfect backdrop for another dark moment in Cleveland sports history. During the game, softball players at the Ironwood Cafe in Westlake glared at flat screen TVs showing the Heat leading by 25 points in the third quarter. It was over, there would be no Game 6 and James’ coronation as a champion couldn’t be delayed any longer. At the Dive Bar downtown on West 6th Street, Hardik muted ABC’s telecast and played music so fans didn’t have to endure the sounds of James winning a title — the sight was bad enough. This didn’t hurt nearly as bad as Cleveland’s other well-known sports calamities like “The Drive,” “The Fumble,” Indians closer Jose Mesa blowing the save in Game 7 of the 1997 World Series or former Browns owner Art Modell packing up his beloved football franchise and moving to Baltimore. But it was still a punch in Cleveland’s collective gut. And as James danced on the sideline in the closing minutes and later smiled as confetti engulfed him and his teammates, Kubinski felt as if he was watching a well-rehearsed play. “He’s always acting,” Kubinski said of James. “He always knows where the cameras are and when they’re on him.”

Evans, Wiggins Tour favorites

By JAMEY KEATEN Associated Press Writer

PARIS — With Spanish superstar Alberto Contador suspended for doping, the Tour de France looks wide open. Australian veteran Cadel Evans will defend his title, and Olympic champion Bradley Wiggins hopes to give Britain its first victory at cycling’s biggest event — just days before the London Games. The 99th Tour starts on June 30 in Liege, Belgium, and will cover 2,162 miles over three weeks. Race planners have given slightly more weight this year to time trials compared to mountains, generally seen as the twin pillars in cycling races that separate title hopefuls from the stragglers. The Olympics, which start less than a week after the Tour ends, is casting a shadow on this year’s race — forcing some to choose one event or the other. Belgian sprinter Tom Boonen and promising American Taylor Phinney are skipping the Tour to focus on the London Games. American Tyler Farrar — who plans to ride in both —hassaidit’s“alittlefrustrating” that cycling has two of its biggest events nearly back-to-back. Once again, cycling’s longtime doping scourge looms large. Contador, the biggest name in cycling since the Lance Armstrong era, had one of his three Tour titles stripped in February and was banned from racing through August this year after he tested positive for the banned stimulant clenbuterol in the 2010 Tour. Pre-race injuries and illness also have depleted the cast of contenders. RadioShack Nissan leader Andy Schleck of Luxembourg, who inherited Contador’s 2010 title and is also a two-time Tour runner-up, will be at home after injuring his spine this month in the Criterium du Dauphine race. Norway’s Thor Hushovd, who won two Tour stages last year, is out while he recovers from a virus. At least one Tour record will be rewritten this year. American veteran George Hincapie, a BMC teammate of Evans and Armstrong’s longtime lieutenant during his run of seven Tour titles, will begin his17th Tour de France — breaking the record he had shared with Dutch legend Joop Zoetemelk for the most Tour starts in history.

Bradley Wiggins hopes to give Britain its first victory at the 99th Tour de France when the race starts June 30.

This race also looks like one of the most promising in years for Britain, in particular through Team Sky. Mark Cavendish, one of the world’s top sprinters who already has 20 Tour stage victories, recently joined the team. But he has said he expects to be less dominant in Tour sprints this year because he has changed his training and lost weight with an eye to the Olympics, where bookmakers see him as a favorite to win gold. He also will be without his longtime lead-out man, Mark Renshaw of Australia, who is on Dutch squad Rabobank. Plus, Sky has put the lion’s share of its resources behind Wiggins, who crashed out of last year’s Tour and wants to give Britain at least its first podium finisher at the Tour — if not an outright winner. This season, the threetime Olympic track champion has again proved his success at morphing into a road racer, winning three competitions, includingthismonth’sDauphineLibere. Evans, who was third in that race, remains a question mark: The 35-year-old didn’t race in May and this year has won only the three-day Criterium International in April. The BMC team leader still has a strong cast of supporters including Hincapie, Philippe Gilbert of Belgium, and young American rider Tejay Van Garde-

ren. This year’s race features three uphill finishes, which is relatively fewbyrecentTourstandards.The first comes on the eastern Vosges range in Stage 7, with a short, steep ride up the Planche de Belles Filles — a plateau named for a legendary mass suicide of French damsels faced by the threat of Nordic invaders centuries ago. The others are rides up to ski stations: La Toussuire in the Alps in Stage 11, and Peyragudes in the Pyrenees in Stage 17. In keeping with tradition, the course in this even-numbered year runs clockwise around France. After three days in Belgium, the race cuts from the English Channel across northern France to the Vosges, down to the Alps, down to the nudist-beach town of Cap d’Agde on the Mediterranean Sea, then into the Pyrenees, followed by a dash up to Paris for the July 22 finish on the Champs-Elysees. This year, more than most, time trials will get star billing. The race against the clock, in which riders set off one by one, is a discipline traditionally dominated by riders like Wiggins, Switzerland’s Fabien Cancellara of RadioShack Nissan — a favorite for Saturday’s 3.8-mile prologue in Liege — and Germany’s Tony Martin of Omega Pharma-Quick Step. Time trials require sustained power, good aerodynamics, and monk-like self-control: Racers can’t slide into the wake of competitors to save energy. Contador is one of the world’s best time-trialers, as was Armstrong in his day. Outside threats for overall victory include Dutch rider Robert Gesink, the winner of the Tour of California this year, American veteran Levi Leipheimer — generally solid in both time trials and the mountains — and Italy’s Vincenzo Nibali, who is returning to the Tour for the first time since 2009 after winning the Spanish Vuelta the following year and placing second last year in the Giro d’Italia.

Olive Garden sales lagging

Darden Restaurants Inc. is struggling to revive sales at its flagship Olive Garden and Red Lobster restaurants. A key sales figure fell at the chains during the latest quarter, and the company issued a profit forecast that fell short of Wall Street expectations. Revenue at Olive Garden restaurants open at least a year fell 1.6 percent in the quarter. At Red Lobster, the figure fell 3.9 percent. A 10 percent rise in Darden’s net income for the quarter came primarily from the opening of new locations, including for its smaller specialty chains.

ROME — The leaders of France, Germany, Italy and Spain agreed to push for a growth package worth up to euro130 billion ($163 billion) at a key European Union summit next week aimed at kick starting the economy and safeguarding the currency bloc. President Francois Hollande of France, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy and Italian Premier Mario Monti, playing host, provided few concrete details beyond agreement on pursuing a financial transaction tax — something that Germany Perhaps the has cham- biggest pioned. Perhaps the breakthrough biggest break- was Merkel’s through of the acknowlbrief summit edgement was Merkel’s that austeracknowledgement that aus- ity alone terity alone won’t cure won’t cure the euro’s woes. the euro’s Merkel has woes. come under increasing pressure to give ground on key pro-growth measures. “We say that growth and solid financials are two sides of a coin. Solid financials are not sufficient,” Merkel said. Monti, who met with his fellow leaders at a government villa in Rome, is trying to build a bridge between Merkel’s insistence on fiscal discipline and the focus on growth by recently elected Hollande. He acknowledged that steps taken so far have not been sufficient, and that markets and European Union citizens alike need to view the euro currency as ‘’irreversible.” The proposed financial transaction tax would charge banks 0.1 percent of the value of sales of stocks or bonds, and 0.01 percent per derivative contract with the proceeds going to fund future bank bailouts. However, at a meeting of finance ministers from the 27 countries in the European Union in Luxembourg Friday, only 10 member countries were prepared to support the idea.

Local fliers decline

Chevy Cruzes recalled

General Motors is recalling its 2011 and 2012 model-year Chevrolet Cruze compact sedans to fix a problem with the engine shield that could result in a fire, the company said Friday. The recall affects nearly 500,000 Cruzes – every one built through May 2012 for sale in the United States and Canada. Cars built this month are not affected. GM said it didn’t know of any crashes, injuries or deaths related to the issue but it had identified about 30 fires that could be related.

ITTSTON TWP. – The loss of two daily routes is being blamed for the decrease in passenger activity the past few months at the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport. Passenger enplanements were down 8.3 percent year-to-year in May, according to airport data. That accounts for 1,746 passengers fewer than the number flying out of the local airport in May 2011. Airport Director Barry J. Centini said there may be several factors at play but the most obvious to him was the loss of two American Airlines

Pa. rig count down by 4

The number of rigs actively exploring for oil and natural gas in the U.S. is down by five this week to 1,966. Oilfield services company Baker Hughes Inc. reported Friday that 1,421 rigs were exploring for oil and 541 for gas. Four were listed as miscellaneous. A year ago, Baker Hughes reported 1,882 rigs. Of the major oil- and gas-producing states, Texas added 12 rigs and was the only state to increase by more than one. Pennsylvania was lower by four rigs.

LOS ANGELES -- Here’s what airline travelers can expect this summer: higher fares, long lines and jam-packed planes. And if you wait too long to buy a ticket, you may be out of luck. With airlines loath to add flights in an uncertain economy, getting a seat at any price on some routes could be tough during peak travel times. “I’ve been calling my fence-sitters and telling them they better book their flights now if they really need to go, otherwise they may be left with no options,” said Jay Johnson, president of Coastline

Centini said also playing into the decline this year was that 2011 was a very good year for the airport and even with the declines the numbers are still than the year-to-year comparisons with 2010 figures. This May’s enplanements are up 10.1 percent when compared to May 2010. So far in 2012, enplanements have fluctuated month to month: They were down 22 in January; up 2,155 in February; up 167 in March; down 708 in April; and down 1,746 in May. Year to date, through May, enplanements are down 0.2 percent or 154 passengers. Centini said these sorts of swings are common.

flights to Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport in November. He said the loss of 150 seats per day was a major factor in the declines that began in March and continued in April and May. But added seats to existing flights plus the new non-stop flights to Orlando that began Thursday should help stem the tide. In addition to a recently added Delta flight to Detroit, that airline added 15 seats to its daily Atlanta flight. U.S. Airways added 13 seats to its morning flight to Charlotte, N.C., 17 seats to its afternoon flight to Charlotte and United Express upgraded two of its four daily flights to Newark, N.J., by 13

Part of the reason for higher prices is pent-up demand by Americans who cut back on travel spending during the depths of the recession and are ready to spend again, according to travel experts. But even with growing demand, airlines are adding very few extra flights and routes, leery of another economic downturn or a surge in fuel prices. The merger and consolidation of several airlines in the past five years also has cut down on the number of available airline seats. U.S. carriers filled 82.1 percent of all available seats last year -- the highest annual rate in more than a decade, according to federal statistics.

Travel Advisors in Garden Grove, Calif. “I’ve been on over 20 flights within the past three months, and I would say almost every flight has been at or close to 100 percent occupancy.” The average domestic airfare this summer is up 5 percent over last summer and international flights are about 11 percent higher, according to an analysis by travel website Kayak.com. That’s on top of a 15 percent average rise in airfares last year. Getting a flight to some popular vacation destinations such as Hawaii, the Caribbean or Florida could mean facing fares that have jumped much higher than the average.

Nature’s air conditioner is back on today, blowing cooler and less humid air down from Canada. Indeed, we are in for some really fine weather both today and tomorrow. A waxing crescent moon will adorn the western sky this evening. Cloudiness will arrive later in the day Sunday with more rain possible heading into Monday morning. But a clearing will quickly follow and the AC will then be turned on high, as gusty winds from the north usher in some really cool air for Tuesday and Wednesday. Sweet. - Tom Clark

SANDRA SNYDER WALL TO WALL

Pretty flowers, why won’t you love me back?

Floor to ceiling All three designers are fans of using tile all the way up to the ceiling, rather than the more old-fashioned approach of doing partial tile walls with a snub-nosed edge. “It makes the entire room more cohesive, and it can also give the illusion that a space is larger than it actually is,” Flynn says. “One of the easiest ways to shrink a room visually is by chopping it up; many times, for me, tile used in just one area quickly chops up a space.”

hy can’t a plant behave more like a baby? The latter, as a newborn, comes bounding into the world amid shouts and tears of joy, then asks for so little. A bit of milk every few hours and the gift of human touch, and life is not only sustained but tends to thrive. Easy. A plant on the other hand … Don’t hate me for my attempt at irony. Of course I jest. Having spent the bulk of the past blistering week marveling, I ask your indulgence. Shouldn’t the most intricate, awe-inspiring, artfully designed form of life we can probably imagine (the newborn) strike utter fear into the hearts of the parents, now wholly and irretrievably responsible for the rhythmically breathing, tick-tock-heartbeating, magically crafted, teeny-tiny person before them? Yet somehow a more simplistic form of life, that which shoots straight from the earth, sometimes unbidden, can prove strangely more confounding. Before the completely capable, admirably fit mother and father who just added the most marvelous plus-one to our family’s numbers, I bowed in humble adoration. Bid them and the new babe a teary farewell, then came home to wonder all over again … Now how in the world is it that, back at the ranch, I can’t even sustain the life of these preposterous plants? Welcome, official summer. Welcome, heat and your sidekick humidity. No offense, but if you wanted to wait awhile, I wouldn’t have protested. It’s just, well, my costly flora babies seem to do so much better when you’re not officially around yet, when Mr. Golden Sun is not blaring his horn for hours on end all day while I’m not home to do a darn thing about it. And I do have to leave for the weekend sometimes; sure would be nice if I didn’t have to come home and do a survival assessment. We’re only a few days into summer, and I’ve already lost half my inventory. Anyone care to commiserate? Here’s a tally of the failings so far: • One pretty, perky, smallish pot of Gerbera daisies. My absolute favorite. At $15, not bad. Until you consider I paid that much for two days of joy. Bought them just before Memorial Day, watered them kindly, then went away for two days. Returned to find only leaves in the pot and wilted remains all over the porch. Bye bye, Gerberas. Terribly sorry I obviously did you wrong. Again. Mental note for next year: Give it up. You like Gerberas; Gerberas do not like you. Clearly. • One gloriously robust, ruby-red geranium, intended (foolishly) for the one spot in my “garden” (term used loosely) where nothing grows. In the garden center? Gorgeous. In the car? Made me giddy. (This time it’s going to happen!) In the ground? Not so much. Lasted about a week, another victim of the weekend away. No signs of life since. (I really should start asking my neighbors for plant-sitting help.) • Hanging plants. I’m so bad at them I didn’t even try this year. But I have become a great admirer of those lifelike artificial ones they sell at Michael’s. Gardening gurus, say it. This is a failure all around: of will, of fortitude, of spirit. I know and I know and I know. Now for the glimmer of good hope: • One cactus shoot, carefully released from the loving limbs of a towering, thriving parent cactus five hours north of here. Under my watch? It’s now on life support – tie him to a stick to help him regain his strength, I was told after admitting to some overlove/ overwatering – but I’m actually not terribly ashamed. That my piece of cactus did not officially die is a sign of progress, and I will take it. In fact, from the prickly one, I have derived enough hope, even, to enter the fun and quirky world of succulents. Started small, with two pinkish teensies in tiny terra-cotta pots. On my outdoor coffee table, they sit. Alive and well after two weeks, smiling at me like newborns, telling me I can do this. Time will tell. But my bet is on the actual newborn, sleepy-eyed but so stalwart, across the map and in much better hands. God bless his parents this summer, and God help this one.

Yes, there are bikes there, but we’ll bet this motorcyclist is at peace during his cruise down Main Street in Conyngham.

ven if you’ve never been there, you probably know it by the

THE STREET WHERE YOU LIVE

magnificent view from Inter-

state 81. Some say the vista of the sunken Conyngham Valley from the busy highway above is as good as it gets. So to live right on the borough’s Main Street, awash in its old-world charm? Two-year resident Coleen Craig extols the virtues of that. “It’s a town, on one street,” she said as she did yard work outside her home on a recent sunny day. Main Street, Craig says, seems to have virtually anything a resident can need on one stretch. “It’s so convenient to everything,” she said. “For me in particular, everything is right here: the bank, the post office, the park, restaurants.” Mary and Mark McLaughlin, both 52, appreciate the wealth of religious denominations represented on the street.

Many of the residences along Main Street resemble the charming painted ladies of coastal Cape May.

Today’s tiles are oh-so-versatile yet timeless By MELISSA RAYWORTH For The Associated Press

Unlike paint and wallpaper, tile isn’t something easily and affordably Choosing tile for your home once meant picking from among a handful of changed every few years.

pastel ceramic squares. Would it be dusty pink or dusty blue? If you were feeling bold, maybe mint green or pale yellow? Today, we’re surrounded — some might say overwhelmed — by choices. Porcelain tile is now made to realistically look like everything from aged wood and rough fieldstones to sleek Italian marble. Tiles made of glass, cork, mirror and even leather are taking the place of traditional ceramics. In all shapes and sizes,

they are being used not just in kitchens and baths but also in entryways, mudrooms and more. High style can be had for an increasingly reasonable cost, with mass-market retailers offering trendy glass tile for as little as a few dollars per square foot. Amid all these possibilities, the biggest challenge is to choose something you’ll continue loving for a decade or more.

“There’s so much decorative tile out there now,” says Matthew Quinn, principal of Design Galleria Kitchen and Bath StudioinAtlanta.But“someofit,”hesays, “you can just tell in three or four years this is not something you’re going to want to see every day.” Unlike paint and wallpaper, tile isn’t something easily and affordably changed every few years. Here, Quinn and interior designers Brian Patrick Flynn and Mallory Mathison share ideas on embracing tile’s new possibilities while still creating a timeless effect.

Some ways to avoid injury during home safety month

Flynn has done kitchen walls in floor-to-ceiling tile, and Mathison recommends tiling a single wall from top to bottom in an entryway for a striking effect. “You think of tile more in utilitarian applications,” she says, “but it can be a beautiful accent.” A full wall of tortoise-shell mosaic tile, she says, feels “almost like your whole wall is covered in jewelry.” Clients sometimes assume full walls of tile will make a project expensive, Quinn says. But the cost depends entirely on your choice of tile: “You can find a fabulous white crackled subway tile for less than $3 a square foot,” he says. “For about $1,000, you can cover every wallofabathroom,floortoceiling, and it’s extremely durable.” Beyond ceramics Flynn loves using tiles made of “unexpected materials, such as leather, cork and wood. Leather tiles can be used on walls and ceilings, but in lower-traffic areas.

This design demonstrates Brian Patrick Flynn’s preference of carrying the same tile used on a backsplash throughout all walls of a kitchen.

Cork is a dream because it helps soundproof a space, plus it offers a really warm, organic texture instead of the sleek ceramic surfaces we’re used to seeing.” “Wooden tiles are rather pricey,” Flynn says, but Quinn points out that manufacturers such as Porcelanosa now offer porcelain

quantity and size can be combustible. ••• Q: I want to remove paint from an inside stone wall. Is this a feasible endeavor, and if it is, what do you recommend? Also I am curious about the effectiveness of soy-based paint removers in general. A: I’ll be frank. It is a pain of a job as is any effort to remove paint from a porous material. You’d have to use a stripper — gel or paste — lay it on thick and keep it applied for a halfhour or so to give it time to work. To test whether it is working, scrape away a small piece of your work. There may be several layers necessary to remove it completely, and then you’ll need to clean the surface with paint thinner to remove the residue — do it with steel wool — and then scrub the thinner off with detergent and a stiff brush. You’ll need to safely dispose of the paint, paint remover, tools and materials, and you’ll need to cover yourself, your eyes, your shoes and the floors to protect them. Wear an N-95 filter mask recommended above. The only soy I am really familiar with is the three half-gallons of milk I buy at Wegmans every week for my younger son — he was allergic to cow’s milk when he was small and continued drinking it after outgrowing the allergy. When pondering your question about soy gel stripper and its effectiveness, my problem with any product is that you tend to get the manufacturer’s view of its strengths and environmental benefits. Most of the consumer reviews seem to have been torpedoed by U-boats. Although the comments address removing paint from wood and not stone, here’s what I found on Fine Homebuilding’s site from a user: “very slow and incomplete ... thick paint as in many layers is a real challenge ... paint in the wood grain is hardly touched.” That said, you’ll need to try it yourself to decide. If it doesn’t work to your satisfaction, you can try something else.

EVERY MONTH is home safety month in my house, says the guy who cannot complete a job without at least one scratch, bruise or bump. I’m talking about me, not Tim “The Tool Man” Taylor, who in one show glued his head to a board. He also was on a firstname basis with emergencyroom personnel and local firefighters. I once cut my thumb on the blade of my jointer-planer five minutes before doing a half-hour telephone interview with a radio station in Idaho and bled into one of those five-gallon Home Depot buckets the whole time. Bottom line: Do what I say and not what I do! Well, at least when it comes to safety around the house, workshop, roof, yard ... Anyway, June is National Safety Month, and here are five good tips from the Home Builders Institute to keep yourself out of the ER: • Use a ladder properly. Check for defects and loose or bent rungs before each use. Never carry equipment, materials, or supplies up or down a ladder. • Take the correct measures to prevent eye injury. Safety glasses, goggles, or full-face shields should be used when there is a possibility of splashing chemicals or flying dust, resulting from sawing, grinding or windy conditions. • Wear a hard hat and gloves, when appropriate. Hard hats or helmets should be worn when there’s a possibility something might fall on your head or you might hit your head. Gloves should be worn when working with chemicals or doing yard work, but should never be used with tools that have a spinning or twisting blade or bit because a glove could get caught. • Store power tools properly. All tools should have the battery removed or unplugged, and any bits should also be removed prior to storage. On portable electric saws, the blades should be fully retracted and all guards in place. • Clean up your dusty work area thoroughly. Wear an N-95 dust mask (it filters 95 percent of airborne particles), available at any home-improvement store, when using a HEPA (HighEfficiency Particulate Arresting) vacuum and wet mop to clean up dust and debris. Remember that dust particles in sufficient

Woman who refuses to share her photos needs to change her focus Dear Abby: I regard my photograph albums as diaries. I don’t like to make copies of my pictures for others. My future mother-in-law looked through my albums and chose half a dozen that she would like me to copy for her. I had already given her several snapshots of her son and me, but she wants more. Abby, I don’t understand why she doesn’t just take her own pictures of us! I view these pictures as personal items. I don’t think they are for others to own and display. Am I wrong? How can I refuse requests for copies of my pictures without offending someone? — L.E. in Cincinnati

DEAR ABBY ADVICE Dear L.E.: I think you’re viewing this scenario from the wrong perspective. Perhaps your mother-in-law-to-be isn’t as comfortable or creative with a camera as you are. If she didn’t have warm feelings for you, she wouldn’t want to own and display the pictures she’s requesting. Unless you become less territorial and change your attitude, I foresee a troubled relationship with your mother-in-law looming on the horizon. Dear Abby: I have been married for seven years and have two small chil-

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

dren. My husband loves me and is good to me. My problem is I no longer feel the same about him anymore. My former fiance recently came back into my life. I hadn’t seen him in eight years, and the moment I saw him all the old feelings came flooding back. We even spent the night together. I told my husband everything, hoping he would be upset and leave me, but he was forgiving and wants to stay married! Now I don’t know what to do — stay with him or be with the one true love of my life. Please help. — Unhappy in Milwaukee Dear Unhappy: Nowhere in your letter have you indicated that your ex-fiance feels the way you do. You have much to lose if you abandon

CRYPTOQUOTE

your husband and children. That’s why I’m urging you and your husband to seek counseling to try to reignite your marriage, because right now you are living in a fantasy of what “might have been.” Dear Abby: My neighbor “Marcella” is 84. She’s a lovely woman, but she’s dependent on me to do everything for her because she’s quite senile. Marcella goes from doctor to doctor for treatment because she forgets who treated her last. Abby, this poor woman’s “children,” who are in their 40s and 50s, live 10 minutes away and visit her only twice a year. I have my own family to care for and I work. Marcella demands my attention daily to do her grocery shop-

ping, check her furnace or take her to doctor’s appointments. I just can’t do it all anymore! Your advice? — Loyal Neighbor in Pennsylvania Dear Loyal Neighbor: The responsibility for your neighbor’s care should be borne by her children. If you don’t want to confront Marcella’s children directly, phone or write them a letter explaining what you have told me. If they refuse to help, then senior citizen services in your county should be contacted ASAP. 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). You’ll enter into a new arrangement with a sunny, shiny attitude. This is uncharted territory, so you get to make up the rules. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Others will be drawn in by your warmth and charm. Though you’d love to be able to accommodate everyone, there’s a limited number of people you can have close to you at one time. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Are manners going out of style? So many people forget to add the “please” when they are speaking with clerks, waiters, family and angels. Yes, even the angels respond with more warmth when graciously addressed. CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s like you’re the guest of honor at a party today with the best view in the restaurant of your life. Also, you feel entitled to order what you really want from the universe because it’s your day. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). A cycle of goodness begins with you today. You’ll go out of your way to help someone and make that person’s life better. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll put all the happiness you can into the present moment. This isn’t accomplished through planning; it happens through noticing the lovely details that float up to the surface of your awareness. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It may feel like you have too many people who need you and want your attention now. An equal balance of time spent catering to your own needs will put you in a position to deliver the best version of “you” to the world.

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

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The conflict of others has an impact on your ability to do your work. You may not be directly involved, and yet the tension is an impediment. You’ll defuse it by secretly wishing everyone around you well. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Simple, inexpensive improvements give you a big uplift. Cleaning and reorganizing feel like the means to an end, but actually, they are beautiful processes in and of themselves. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Most of the day will be spent chasing a dream. As your sign mate Benjamin Franklin pointed out, “Happiness springs immediately from the mind.” AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You may be uncharacteristically sensitive this morning and will need to be extra mindful about protecting your interests. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You will ignite the passions of others. The sun and your guiding planet Neptune are in the kind of favorable position that keeps the inspiration flowing through you all day long. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 23). You’ll find security and a sense of joy as you spend time on home and hearth in the next three weeks. Your improvements have long-term effects. You’ll like how a relationship evolves through August. November brings your chance for a position that rarely opens up. A windfall comes in July, September and May. Aquarius and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 1, 24, 22 and 5.
