Agent kills Honduras trafficker

Drug Enforcement official shoots suspect during raid in small town. By ALBERTO ARCE and MARTHA MENDOZA Associated Press

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras — A U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agent has shot and killed a suspected drug trafficker during a raid in a remote northern area of Honduras known as a destination for illicit flights carrying cocaine from South America, U.S. officials said Sunday. The incident marked the first time that a DEA agent has killed someone during an operation since the agency began deploying specially trained agents several years ago to accompany local law enforcement personnel on drug raids in Latin America, said DEA spokeswoman Dawn Dearden. Saturday’s raid was the fourth operation in two months in a stepped-up U.S.-Honduran effort to fight drug trafficking in the sparsely populated areas of the country, where flights from Venezuela land on dirt airstrips and locals are paid to transport the illegal cargo to boats headed to the Caribbean. This weekend’s operation occurred around 12:30 a.m., when a U.S. agent and Honduran National Police arrested four suspects and seized 792 pounds of cocaine, said U.S. Embassy spokesman Stephen Posivak in Tegucigalpa. He said six other people were arrested later on suspicion of aiding the smuggling operation. Posivak said the U.S. agent opened fire after the suspect reached for a gun in a holster, and the suspect died at the scene. Three of the men arrested were part of the ground crew, Posivak said, and the fourth was piloting the small plane loaded with cocaine. He said their nationalities are not yet clear. Posivak confirmed that the law enforcement agents were working in State Department helicopters and said their arrests and seizures reflect “a great example of positive U.S.-Honduran cooperation,” although he said the loss of life was unfortunate. The incident took place in the area of Brus Laguna, about 12 miles away from Ahuas. Ahuas mayor Lucio Baquedano said at least 11 clandestine airstrips sit between Ahuas and Brus Laguna. DEA agents in Honduras are bound by Justice Department rules of engagement, which only allow them to fire weapons if their or someone else’s life is in danger. The helicopters tracking the flight early Saturday saw about 40 people transporting drugs from the plane, the official said. They were intercepted by law enforcement about a half mile from the landing strip, where the seizure, arrests and shooting took place. Most of the 40 people scattered. The DEA said it would not release the name of the agent who killed the suspect. “During the operation, a fifth suspect attempted to engage the police team with a firearm and was shot by a DEA agent in selfdefense,” Posivak said. “The suspect subsequently died at the scene. There were no other injuries or fatalities.”

Forty Fort’s letter to the future Borough officials seal a time capsule as part of the 125th anniversary celebration. By STEVEN FONDO Times Leader Correspondent

FORTY FORT -- Residents of the historic West Side community gathered at the town hall on Sunday to bury a time capsule as part of the borough’s 125th anniversary celebration’ “This time capsule represents a specific moment in our history,” said Forty Fort Mayor Boyd Hoats Jr. “This anniversary celebration has been amazing. It’s a great time to be mayor.” The white plastic capsule was signed by all those placing items within and contained various memorabilia from 2012: several current newspapers, a commemorative book of photos, as well as a collection of drawings and essays from students at the Dana Street Elementary School in the borough. Seven-year-old Rylan Mason’s prize-winning essay stated that he felt fortunate to live in Forty Fort because it was protected by the levee system and thus spared from the 2011 flooding. Tyler Sullivan, a third-grade student, said that he was proud that he lived in Forty Fort because “it is safe and clean and a

1 feared dead in mall roof collapse Another person still trapped by debris more than 24 hours after accident in Canada. The Associated Press

ELLIOT LAKE, Ontario — At least one person was feared dead and another trapped inside the rubble of a roof collapse at a mall in northern Ontario, authorities said Sunday. More than 24 hours after the collapse, rescue workers were unable to reach the victims because the structure was too unstable. They said it would take until early Monday morning before the structure was deemed safe enough for search and rescue teams to go back in. Images taken with the camera show a hand and foot in the dusty debris, said Ontario Provincial Police Insp. Percy Jollymore. Fire officials heard tapping Sunday morning in another part of the rubble, but nothing had been heard for hours. They said they also tried to reach that person by drilling through a wall, but found the structure too unsafe to risk entering far enough inside. “Some of our search members this morning heard a couple of taps,” said Bill Needles, a spokesman from the Heavy Urban Search and Rescue team which travelled from Toronto. “They called for a quick silence on the site and there was a couple more taps. That was an indication to us that we were dealing with a rescue.” He said the operation was still

a rescue mission and they were still hoping to find people alive. Police compiled a list of nine people missing since the collapse Saturday, but the names were being crossed off as members of the community accounted for their loved ones. At least 22 people suffered minor injuries in the roof collapse Saturday afternoon at the Algo Centre Mall in Elliot Lake. A special emergency crew was working to stabilize the scene, but authorities said the process could take another 12 hours. A portion of the roof that serves as a parking area crumbled down two floors into an area near the food court, leaving behind a gaping hole which was 39 feet by 79 feet. It also downed hydro lines and triggered a gas leak.

Emergency officials quickly cleared out the mall and closed surrounding roads. Mayor Rick Hamilton declared a state of emergency. Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty said he was in touch with Elliot Lake’s mayor and thanked emergency crews in the city for their efforts. “As we anxiously wait to learn more about anyone thought to be missing in Elliot Lake, our thoughts and prayers are with their families, and also with those who have been injured and indeed with the entire community,” McGuinty said in a statement. Hope mingled with frustration in the close-knit community as residents waited for news. “There’s a fair amount missing,” said Heather Richer, who

owns a restaurant in the mall and was at work when the collapse took place. “I’m hoping everyone’s found, but I’m giving up hope on whether they’re going to find them alive.” Richer, who was particularly concerned about an acquaintance who was unaccounted for, described Saturday’s thunderous collapse as a nightmare. “It was almost like a little mini earthquake, like a big bang, and then gone,” she said. “There was nothing there. Everything started to cave in, water was pouring out of the pipes.” Joe Drazil, a Zellers store employee, said several cars appeared to have fallen through the gaping hole near some escalators. “You can see the roof with the cars hanging inside,” he said. “Everybody was cleared from the whole mall. After that, there was numerous police and emergency vehicles coming from all over.” People have said the mall roof has leaked water for some time. There have long been buckets and tarps around the mall to collect leaking water, Shopper Jean-Marc Hayward said. “It’s obvious there has been a lot of damage in the structure because of the water,” Hayward said. “A couple of years ago they said they fixed all the leaks in the mall, but they didn’t. You could tell every time it rained.” Stephan Powell of Toronto Fire Services could not confirm if rescue officials had been briefed about the water leaking issue.

Masked gunman takes gold, coins at Plains Twp. shop Thief parked in back and ambushed owner, police say. By JERRY LYNOTT jlynott@timesleader.com

PLAINS TWP. – A gunman wearing a doll mask made off with an undetermined amount of gold and coins Sunday night from the A-1 Diamonds & Gold shop on state Route 315, police said.

The armed robbery occurred around 9 p.m., when the owner of the shop, who was inside doing paperwork, went out to his car, said Sgt, Dave Abraham. The gunman came from behind the building and confronted the owner, who was carrying a plastic bag containing the valuables, said Abraham. When a gun was put in his face, the owner threw the bag into the air, ran down the

roadway and tried to get help from passing motorists, Abraham said. The gunman picked up the bag and went to his car, a gray older model Ford Mustang, and fled on Ridgewood Road, said Abraham. “We believe the guy was parked in the back,” Abraham said. The gunman was wearing a clear plastic mask, an over-

LAINS TWP. – A couple dozen local folks recently had a weekend they’ll never forget, spending some quality time with a former U.S. president and his wife. As part of their ongoing Plains Helping Plains initiative, Plains Township residents Larry and Diane Cook organized a bus trip earlier this month to Plains, Ga., where they and their guests got to bump elbows and have some quality conversation with Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn. Anne Cawley, of Bear Creek Township, called the experience “unbelievable.” “When we booked this trip, if nothing else, we thought we would see another part of the United States; we had no idea how many people would be there or how much of President and Mrs. Carter we would see. But they were there Friday night at the reception, Saturday night at the barbecue and Sunday at church. It was like we were their friends the whole weekend,” Cawley said. Larry Cook, who owns and op-

erates Cook & Cook Antiques and Home Furnishings in Plains Township with his wife, said the trip was part of a fundraiser to benefit the Plains Better Hometown Program – a non-profit focused on restoring historic buildings in and improving the hometown of the Carters, which boasts a population of about 700. The trip included a reception See CARTER, Page 14A

Teamwork highlights the fight against cancer Luzerne County Community College campus is site for second annual South Valley Relay for Life. By CAMILLE FIOTI Times Leader Correspondent

NANTICOKE -- Tents in all shapes and sizes dotted the lawn at Luzerne County Community College Saturday during the second annual American Cancer Society’s South Valley Relay for Life. “I’m not going to sleep tonight,” said Dr. Steve Housenick, Assistant

English Professor and advisor for the college’s Phi Theta Kappa club, adding that he planned to walk as long as he could during the 24-hour event. The first Relay for Life event was held in 1985 in Tacoma, Wash.. Since then it has become an international fundraising and awareness event to save lives from cancer. Housenick and his team were among the nearly 200 LCCC staff members, students, and members of the community who took part in event, held in the parking lot of the Advanced Technology and Educa-

tional Conference Centers. Members of each team took turns walking around the track for the duration of the event, which featured live music, food, entertainment, a frozen T-shirt contest and other games. Each team adopted an American holiday as its theme and decorated the canopies and display areas as such. Surgical tech student and PTK member, Alemu Teklegiorgis of Wilkes-Barre, helped raise money for the event by selling bracelets. TekleSee RELAY, Page 6A

DALLAS – Yard sales have become a summer staple, but in Dallas the sales have become an issue, with a proposed ordinance requiring residents to obtain a permit. The proposed ordinance, which would require borough residents to receive a permit to hold a yard/garage sale and limit them to two a year, will be reviewed by the Dallas Borough Council at 7 p.m., July 18, in the municipal building. The permit would not cost residents a dime to apply for, but would give the council a heads up as to who is holding yard/garage sales and how frequently. Borough Manager Tracey Carr said the proposed ordinance is necessary to alleviate traffic conThe proposed gestion and tenordinance will sions between be reviewed neighbors. “Some property by the Dallas owners have been Borough holding multiple Council at 7 yard sales, which p.m., July 18, are creating an in the munici- inconvenience for their neighbors,” pal building. Carr said. Carr said she has heard of other municipalities implementing similar ordinances, but was unable to name them Friday. “Council members feel it is necessary,” Carr said. Yard sales have become a favorite summertime activity, along with baseball and picnics. Yard sales give organizers an opportunity to sell unwanted items and earn a few extra dollars. Meanwhile, many yard sale browsers enjoy scanning tables of items ranging from tools to toys and clothes, looking for that rare treasure. The thought of the proposed ordinance regulating the frequency of them and requiring a permit raised some eyebrows of residents. “Yard sales are part of Americana,” said Susan Barre, Dallas resident. “But if I lived next door to someone who held one every weekend from May 31 through to August, it would be tiresome.” The increased vehicles and foot traffic in and out of a neighbor’s property would limit the privacy for the surrounding neighbors, Carr said.

Islamist wins president in Egypt

Morsi wins country’s first free presidential election in history. By MAGGIE MICHAEL and SARAH EL DEEB Associated Press

A day to celebrate gay pride

CAIRO — Islamist Mohammed Morsi was declared the winner Sunday in Egypt’s first free presidential election in history, closing the tumultuous first phase of a democratic transition and opening a new

struggle with the still-dominant military rulers who recently stripped the presidency of most of its Morsi powers. In Tahrir Square, the birthplace of the uprising that ousted autocratic President Hosni Mubarak, joyous supporters of Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood wept and kneeled on the ground in prayer when they

heard the announcement on live television. They danced, set off fireworks and released doves in the air with Morsi’s picture attached in celebrations not seen in the square since Mubarak was forced out on Feb. 11, 2011. Many are looking now to see whether Morsi will try to take on the military and wrestle back the powers they took from his office just one week ago. Thousands vowed to remain in Tahrir to demand that the ruling generals reverse their deci-

sion. In his first televised speech, the 60-year old U.S.-trained engineer called on Egyptians to unite and tried to reassure minority Christians, who mostly backed Morsi’s rival Ahmed Shafiq because they feared Islamic rule. He said he carries “a message of peace” to the world and pledged to preserve Egypt’s international accords, a reference to the peace deal with Israel. He also paid tribute to nearly

900 protesters killed in last year’s uprising. “I wouldn’t have been here between your hands as the first elected president without ... the blood, the tears, and sacrifices of the martyrs,” he said. In the lengthy and redundant speech, Morsi appeared to be struggling to compose his sentences. Wearing a blue suit and tie, he looked stiff and uncomfortable and did not smile throughout as he read from a paper.

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO.

Wildfires near tourist sites

ildfires moved in on some of Colorado’s most popular summer W tourist destinations over the weekend,

demolishing nearly two dozen homes near Rocky Mountain National Park and emptying hotels and campgrounds at the base of Pikes Peak. A wildfire near Colorado Springs erupted and grew out of control to more than 3 square miles early Sunday, prompting the evacuation of more than 11,000 residents and an unknown number of tourists. On Saturday, a blaze destroyed 21 structures near the mountain community of Estes Park, where many visitors stay while visiting the park. All of this came just a week before the Fourth of July, a key time for family vacations to national parks and other destinations. A statewide ban on open campfires and private fireworks has been in place for more than a week.

KANSAS CITY, MO.

Mother charged with abuse

A Kansas City woman was charged Saturday with abusing her 10-year-old daughter who weighed just 32 pounds when she was found locked in a closet that reeked of urine. The 29-year-old woman faces charges of assault and child abuse and endangerment in Jackson County Circuit Court. The Associated Press is not naming the mother to protect the child’s identity. Prosecutors are requesting that bond be set at $200,000. Officers freed the girl after responding Friday morning to a call to a child abuse hotline. Neighbors told police that they didn’t know the malnourished child taken from the public housing complex even lived there. When officers first arrived, two women told the officers that the mother had left about 20 minutes earlier with two girls, whom they described as “clean and well fed,” a Kansas City officer said in the probable cause statement.

China completes docking

The Shenzhou-9 spacecraft completed China’s first manual docking, a major step in the nation’s space program, state media announced Sunday. Flight engineer Liu Wang piloted the craft to dock with Tiangong-1 in an orbital maneuver broadcast live. The crew of 14-year veteran Liu Wang, 42, commander Jing Haipeng, 46, and China’s first female astronaut, Liu Yang, 33, had reportedly rehearsed the procedure in simulation more than 1,500 times. A spokeswoman for China’s space program told state media after the docking was completed that Liu, who is in charge of medical experiments during the 13-day mission, had excelled in the last eight days.

NATO plans talks Emergency session to address Syria’s action

By SELCAN HACAOGLU Associated Press

NKARA, Turkey — NATO will hold emergency talks on Tuesday to discuss Syria’s downing of a Turkish jet fighter, but the alliance is not expected to take military action, even if it confirms Turkey’s claim that the unarmed plane was attacked in international airspace. • The incident has further raised regional tensions over the conflict in Syria, where some 40 people were reported killed Sunday in new clashes between rebels and government troops. Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said the On Sunday, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton sharply criticized Syria for downing the Turkish jet was on a training flight to test Turkey’s radar capaplane, which Turkey’s Foreign Ministry called an “open bilities, not spying on Syria.

TUNIS, TUNISIA

Ex-Libyan PM sent home

A Tunisian official says former Libyan Prime Minister Al-Baghdadi AlMahmoudi has been extradited to Libya. The presidential aide — who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity — said that the former Libyan leader left Tunisia by plane on Sunday morning from the Al Aouina military airport near Tunis, the capital. A close associate of Tunisia’s ruling party confirmed the extradition, also speaking on condition of anonymity in keeping with government protocol. Al-Mahmoudi, Libya’s last prime minister under deposed leader Moammar Gadhafi, fled to Tunisia nine months ago. He had said he is afraid of being executed by the rebels who overthrew Gadhafi if he returns home.

By CHARLES WILSON Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS — A national civil rights group said Sunday it would appeal a federal judge’s decision to uphold an Indiana law that bans registered sex offenders from accessing Facebook and other social networking sites used by children. On Friday, Judge Tanya Walton Pratt said in an 18-page order that the state has a strong interest in protecting chil-

“Social networking, chat rooms, and instant messaging programs have effectively created a ‘virtual playground’ for sexual predators to lurk,” Pratt wrote in the ruling, citing a 2006 report by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that found that one in seven youths had received online sexual solicitations and one in three had been exposed to unwanted sexual material online. The American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana filed the class-action suit on behalf of a man who served three years

ban even though they are no longer on probation. Federal judges have barred similar laws in Nebraska and Louisiana. “We will be appealing,” ACLU legal director Ken Falk said in an email Sunday. Appeals from federal courts in Indiana go to the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago. Courts have long allowed states to place restrictions on convicted sex offenders who have completed their sentences, controlling where many live and work and requiring them to register with police.

Gulf Coast being hit by Debby A tropical storm warning is issued for the region. The Associated Press

MIAMI — A tropical storm warning was issued Sunday for Alabama to the Florida Panhandle as Debby lashed parts of the Gulf Coast with wind and rain. The National Hurricane Center in Miami said Sunday morning that Debby was about 190 miles eastsoutheast of the mouth of the Mississippi River. It said the storm warning has now been issued from the Mississippi-Alabama border eastward to the Suwanee River in north Florida. Debby’s top sustained winds had increased to about 60 mph . The storm was moving toward the northeast at 6 mph. Although a forecast track was still uncertain, the hurricane center said people from Texas to Florida should remain alert to Debby’s movement. At least one tornado linked to the storm touched down Saturday in southwest Florida, but no injuries were reported. Heavy squalls pounded parts of that state. However, despite warnings in the Panhandle, Debby hadn’t totally dampened vacations. Thousands of people were on the beach at Pensacola Beach, Fla., on Sunday morning. Many used their phones to take photos of huge waves crashing into the concrete supports of a fishing pier. There wasn’t any rain yet; just gusty winds and dark, fast-moving clouds. Few people were in the water. Red flags warned tourists to stay out of the surf, and lifeguards cruised the sand on all-terrain vehicles, blowing whistles at anyone who got near the waves. Workers with rental companies used pickup trucks to gather chairs and umbrellas as a precaution against an unusually high tide. Forecasters said Debby could reach hurricane strength sometime over the next few days. Meanwhile, up to 10 inches of rain were possible along the coast, with isolated amounts possibly reaching 15 inches. It was the first time four tropical storms have been recorded before July 1 during the Atlantic hurricane season since record keeping began in 1851. Alberto was the first storm this year.

Sea levels rising faster on East Coast Researchers say global warming putting some areas in danger sooner. By SETH BORENSTEIN AP Science Writer

WASHINGTON — From Cape Hatteras, N.C., to just north of Boston, sea levels are rising much faster than they are around the globe, putting one of the world’s most costly coasts in danger of flooding, government researchers report. U.S. Geological Survey scientists call the 600-mile swath a “hot spot” for climbing sea levels caused by global warming. Along the region, the Atlantic Ocean is rising at an annual rate three times to four times faster than the global average since 1990, according to the study published Sunday in the journal Nature Climate Change. It’s not just a faster rate, but at a faster pace, like a car on a highway “jamming on the accelerator,” said the study’s lead author, Asbury Sallenger Jr., an oceanographer at the agency. He looked at sea levels starting in 1950, and noticed a change beginning in 1990. Since then, sea levels have gone up globally about 2 inches. But in Norfolk, Va.,

where officials are scrambling to fight more frequent flooding, sea level has jumped a total of 4.8 inches, the research showed. For Philadelphia, levels went up 3.7 inches, and in New York City, it was 2.8 inches. Climate change pushes up sea levels by melting ice sheets in Greenland and west Antarctica, and because warmer water expands. Computer models long have projected higher levels along parts of the East Coast

because of changes in ocean currents from global warming, but this is the first study to show that’s already happened. By 2100, scientists and computer models estimate that sea levels globally could rise as much as 3.3 feet. The accelerated rate along the East Coast could add about 8 inches to 11 inches more, Sallenger said. “Where that kind of thing becomes important is during a storm,” Sallenger said. That’s when it can damage buildings and erode coastlines. On the West Coast, a National Research Council report released Friday projects an average 3-foot rise in sea level in California by the year 2100, and 2 feet in Oregon and Washington. The land mass north of the San Andreas Fault is expected to rise, offsetting the rising sea level in those two states. The USGS study suggests the Northeast would get hit harder because of ocean currents. When the Gulf Stream and its northern extension slow down, the slope of the seas changes to balance against the slowing current. That slope then pushes up sea levels in the Northeast. It is like a see-saw effect, Sallenger theorizes.

giorgis, who moved to the U.S. from Ethiopia in 2008, said he is working with the American Cancer Society to help transport cancer patients to doctor appointments. “We are always looking for ways to help patients,” he said. “The word cancer doesn’t mean that life is over,” said college president Tom Leary. “I’m inspired by your strength, courage and hope for the future,” he told the survivors before they began the Survivor’s Lap. Diagnosed with cancer six years ago, guest speaker Jane Rosentel recalled the day she told her friend, Mary Sullivan the news. “Cancer, what a scary word,” she said. “Especially when it’s associated with your name.” Rosentel said the experience, however, has brought her closer to her friends, family and God.

Next came the Congregational United Church of Christ, then the Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic Church, on Luzerne Avenue, and the Trinity Episcopal Church, on Montgomery Avenue. The tour finished at the First United Methodist Church on Wyoming Avenue which escaped flood damage by mere feet. The tour also highlighted the Salvation Army, which is honoring its 100th year in West Pittston. The group offered tribute to the organization that continued to help local flood victims despite getting hit hard itself. Lynne Dente and Marion Carver, event co-chairs, were impressed with the turnout, which was significantly greater than last year. They headed up a reception at the Methodist Church, where the tour group sat to enjoy refreshments and hear closing comments. Dente said the overarching theme of the day was the “outreach” during and after the flood. The churches provided

Some volunteers are still working to help flood victims almost one year later, she said. “The buildings are beautiful and we love our churches,” Dente said, “but they are just buildings. The most important thing is the sense of community,” she added. Lokuta began organizing church tours in Pittston in 2006, when he became passionate about their beauty and the feeling they are not appreciated. The West Pittston church tour included First United Methodist.

Drive said the proposed ordinance did not surprise her at all. She said small-mindedness of the area inspired her to move. Understanding issues of traffic and parking congestion, Rachael Schmitz of Dallas said she disagreed with

the ordinance. “It is a lot of work to prepare for and organize a yard sale, and having to go to the borough office for a permit adds just one more thing to the list,” Schmitz said. Barre said the permit requirement would not stop her from holding a yard sale. “They are very social events and very community orientated,” she said.

Court keeps health decision a secret

Justices are expected to rule on the health care overhaul law in the upcoming weeks. By JESSE J. HOLLAND Associated Press

WASHINGTON — It’s the biggest secret in a city known for not keeping them. The nine Supreme Court justices and more than three dozen other people have kept quiet for more than two months about how the high court will rule on the constitutionality of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul. This is information that could move markets, turn economies and greatly affect this fall’s national elections, including the presidential contest between Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney. But unlike the Congress and the executive branch, the Supreme Court appears to truly value silence when it comes to upcoming court opinions. No one talks, and that’s the way they like it. Contrast this with the rest of the government, which couldn’t keep secret Obama’s role in supervising an unprecedented U.S. cyberattack on Iran’s nuclear facilities or the existence of a double agent inside al-Qaida’s Yemen branch who tipped the U.S. to a new design for a bomb to put on a jetliner. The Supreme Court is expect-

ed to rule on the law in the upcoming week or so. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, speaking to a lawyers’ convention June 15, noted a steady stream of “rumors and fifth-hand accounts” in the media about what the high court was likely to do. “My favorite among the press pieces wisely observed: ‘At the Supreme Court ... those who know don’t talk, and those who talk don’t know,’”she said. The justices, of course, know, having officially voted on the results the same week they heard arguments. But they are not the only ones in the loop: Each of the nine justices has four clerks who know not only how their justice voted but also how the other justices stand. In addition to these 45 people surely in the know, there are an assorted number of secretaries, aides, security guards, janitors, support staff and family members keenly attuned to the inner workings of the Supreme Court’s upper floors where the justices keep their chambers. At the last moment possible, printers who prepare the paper opinions to be handed out will know. If any of these people also know anything about how the case is going to come out, they’re not talking.

Paul Henry Lyne 1924 – 2012 Paul Henry Lyne, was the last living of seven siblings born to Royal and Louise Klinges Lyne of Trucksville on February 28, 1924. He passed away on Saturday evening, June 23, 2012 at the Meadow View Nursing Home in Montrose, Pa. Paul attended Kingston Township High School. With the encouragement of his music loving mentor, Major Edmund Camp, he became a member of St. Stephens Episcopal Church in Wilkes-Barre, where he lent a strong alto voice to the boys’ choir. He also sang with the Lyric Boys’ Chorus led by Alfred Camp, doing guest performances in such places as St. Bartholomew’s Church in New York City and other local venues. In late years, he was a charter member of the Endless Mountains Barbershop Chorus in Tunkhannock, where he also sang bass with a quartet called “The Neighborhood Boys,” entertaining far and wide. Before his voice changed, the Lyric Boys’ Chorus camped up river from Meshoppen at Myo Beach several summers and later he also accompanied his mentor, Major Camp, as they spent the summer months at the Hewitt Kintner Cottage, also at Myo Beach. During these visits, he helped neighboring farmers at haying and harvesting time and ultimately became a Dairy Herd Improvement Tester in the area. Paul was drafted; received Basic Training at Camp Croft in South Carolina; shipped out along with some 14,999 others on the Queen Mary for Liverpool, England. He traveled by land and sea to LaHavre, France, where his unit, the 78th Lightning Division, headed on foot to Schmidt, Germany. From there, after encountering some serious fighting, they arrived at the Rhine River. Their unit was the first ordered to cross the river on the Remagen Bridge, which was under siege by the German Air Force. Most of the infantry men made it across safely, but as they made their way north from the bridge, they again encountered fierce fighting. At one point, he and several of his buddies took refuge in a very large old house, but were immediately besieged with German artillery fire, resulting in several fatalities among the group, and Paul was wounded. After being treated at a field hospital, he returned to England and ultimately back home aboard the hospital ship, Milnes. He recovered after several surgeries and returned to Meshoppen, where he received an appointment to the Postal Service and carried mail on Rt. #2 for 32 years, retiring on November 15, 1980. During the ’70s and ’80s, he installed carpet for Ken Mar Home

Furnishing. Paul is survived by his wife of 62 years, Inez Roberts Lyne, just celebrating their anniversary on June 22. Together, they raised on a little dairy farm in Auburn Township, three children, Larry S. Lyne and his wife, Peggy Darling Lyne, of South Auburn, Pa. and sons, Derek of Lebanon, Pa. and Benjamin and his wife, LeeAnna Roberts Lyne, of Williamsport; Cris A. Wiswell and her husband Charles Wiswell of Tunkhannock, and daughters, Lisa of Arlington, VA and Sarah of Tunkhannock; Tim R. Lyne and his wife, Cathy Weiand Lyne, of Mechanicsburg, and sons, Daniel, of Hummelstown, Pa and Ethan and his wife, Elisha, and three children, Jehu, Hannah, and Jalon of Owensboro, Ky. Paul was a sportsman, enjoying many popular television sporting programs. He was an avid hunter and fisherman, enjoying hunting trips out west and many years of annual fishing trips to Canada with a group of special friends. He and Bunny took their family on many camping/fishing trips in various states as well as Canada. He was a 4-H Horse and Pony Leader; he worked with Scoutmaster Whitie Craige and the Boy Scouts; he was a Past Master of Franklin Lodge #263; F&AM, The Valley of Bloomsburg Consistory and the Irem Shrine. Besides his parents, he was predeceased by two brothers, Royal Lyne of Florida and Hedley Lyne formerly of Florida and recently of Mehoopany, and four sisters, Alberta Holcomb and Phyllis Powell, both of Florida; Ruth Hurley, of Maryland, and Dorothy Burns, of Texas. Surviving, besides his wife and three children and their families, are Grace Mahler, sister-in-law, of Mass., and many nieces, nephews, and cousins. Paul’s quick wit and “hail fellow, well met” demeanor endeared him to everyone. He gained much pleasure from the company of his family and many friends. Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, June 27 2012, at 11 a.m. at the Meshoppen United Methodist Church, with the Rev. Tom Mott of the church officiating. Interment will be in the Vaughn Cemetery in Mehoopany. Graveside Military Services will be conducted by the members of the Rought Hall Post #510 American Legion of Laceyville, the Dennis Strong Post #457 American Legion of Tunkhannock, and the Endless Mountains Post #3583 VFW of Mehoopany. Family and friends may call at the Sheldon Funeral Home, Main Street, Meshoppen, on Tuesday from 6 to 9 p.m. Masonic Services will be conducted at the funeral home on Tuesday at 8:30 p.m. by the members of the Franklin Lodge #263 F&AM.

Truck wreck destroys site built in 1745 Truck carrying bananas slides into building and takes out gas main, causing fire. The Associated Press

SEEKONK, Mass. — An out-of-control tractor-trailer carrying bananas crashed into a natural gas main and ignited an explosion on Sunday morning, setting fire to an 18th-century building that housed a tavern and destroying it. Fire officials in Seekonk, about 6 miles east of Providence, R.I., said the 18-wheeler fell on its side and slid into the Old Grist Mill Tavern, whose website says the building was constructed in 1745 for grinding grain raised by area farmers. The truck “slid along the ground and took out the gas main and the electrical lines,” tavern owner Greg Esmay told The Providence Journal newspaper. “There was a pretty good explosion, and it started a fire.” No one was in the building at the time. Esmay, of Warwick, R.I., said the building was destroyed and would have to be demolished. The truck driver was taken to a hospital in Providence. It was unclear how serious his injuries were or whether he would face charges. The cause of the crash was under investigation. Esmay said there was a chimney fire at the building in 1957, and the restaurant and bar area were rebuilt afterward. He said he wasn’t sure whether he will rebuild and he was concerned about his 50 employees. Area resident David Elderkin, who lives two houses down from the restaurant, told Attleboro’s The Sun Chronicle newspaper that he heard loud noises after the crash. When he went to see what happened, he said, he saw flames that were taller than the utility poles on the street. “It sounded like a jet engine,” he said. “This is a sad day. This is a very popular restaurant.”

gear to cheer at every race. Diane Ljungquist, who was the drummer, donned a much more comfortable outfit compared to the sweltering pirate attire she wore last year. It got so bad then that she took her pants off halfway through the competition. “This is more comfortable and cool,” she said of her dress and Viking helmet. Ljungquist chose to beat the drum at the front of the boat, used to help keep rowers in sync, with a toy hammer instead of the stick that was provided. PNC’s drummer was one in the literal sense – Anita Reboli went full-on face paint as Peter Criss, rock band KISS’s drummer.

The strategy to capture the win was simple. ”We’re going to paddle hard and stay on top of the water,” Susan Turcmanovich said. That strategy wasn’t enough, though, as Parker Hill took home the win after beating The Times Leader in the final heat with a time of 49.31 seconds. “We’ve got big guns,” team member Kristen Kirby joked prior to the races starting. “We’ve Parker Hill Community Church wins the dragon boat final during Sunday’s RiverFest in Wilkesgot a lot of young and muscular Parker Hill Community Church, left, forges ahead of The Times Leader Barre. guys, so we’ll see if that pays off.” during Sunday’s RiverFest in Wilkes-Barre.

sooner for some, later for others. It’s going to take time for people to think about Penn State and Penn State football without thinking about the Jerry Sandusky scandal.” How much time will be in large part determined by new coach Bill O’Brien and his team. O’Brien spent three weeks on the road in May trying to drum up support among alumni and fans still stinging from the loss of Joe Paterno, who was fired in November and died in January. O’Brien made a name for himself as a New England Patriots assistant coach working with quarterback Tom Brady, but his new job will require far more than the ability to dissect defenses. “He can play a prominent role in the healing of Penn State,” said Lou Holtz, who coached at Notre Dame, Arkansas and South Carolina during a hall of fame career. In sports, winning and repairing a reputation often go hand in hand. “A lot of it is getting back to basics and focusing on what you do well,” said Jeremy Robinson-Leon of the Gordon Group, a New York-based public relations firm that handles crisis management. “Focus on games. Focus on winning. That will help them get past this. “But it’s going to take time. This isn’t over.” Far from it. The 68-year-old Sandusky, Paterno’s former longtime defensive coordinator, was convicted Friday of sexually abusing 10 boys over a 15-year period. He will be sentenced in the next three months and likely will spend the rest of his life in jail. Two former Penn State administrators, including athletic director Tim Curley, are awaiting trial on charges of lying to the grand jury investigating Sandusky and not complying with a state law about reporting suspected child abuse. Still ongoing is a university trustees’ investigation spearheaded by former FBI director Louis Freeh. The findings of that investigation could be released in August and will be shared with the NCAA and Big Ten. Both want to determine whether Penn State violated any of their rules. The investigations and legal proceedings could take years to play out, and because the scandal involves one

of the most famous college football programs in the country, it is almost guaranteed to do so in the spotlight. “There is great reputational risk in athletics,” said Southern California athletic director Pat Haden, who was hired shortly after the Trojans’ football and basketball programs were peppered by NCAA sanctions in 2010. “Institutions like USC spend more than100 years building a positive reputation and gaining respect in the community, then athletic shenanigans can impact that perception for a long time. If the chemistry department makes a mistake, it’s not going to end up on the front page of the newspaper.” The hiring of O’Brien was at first greeted with skepticism and criticism by some former Penn State players, who wanted someone familiar, someone with ties to the school and Paterno, to guide the program through some very dark days. Robinson-Leon, however, said it was wise for Penn State to go outside the “family.” “They needed to bring in somebody who could not be perceived as an insider,” he said. By hiring a first-time head coach, Penn State could be signaling that the football program — and its coach — will no longer be an isolated and powerful entity that seems to operate separately from the university, Robinson-Leon said. “Penn State was criticized publicly for fostering a culture that ultimately allowed these heinous crimes to go unpunished,” he said. “The perception was a football program operating with impunity. The football program needs to regain the trust of the community and the public. “Penn State needs to communicate what they are doing moving forward to make sure these things don’t happen again; demonstrate the football program will be held accountable.” O’Brien was clearly trying to do just that during Penn State’s 18-city coaches’ caravan that stretched from Buffalo, N.Y., to Richmond, Va., and Cleveland to Boston. “We’re one team,” O’Brien said. “This athletic department is a part of this university. This football program is a big part, but just a part of this athletic department.” Holtz said O’Brien’s message to his players should go something like this: “There’s been a lot of great things here, but they have been marred by an individual. But it’s time for us to move on. You can’t let one man tarnish the tradition of Penn State.”

WORLD OPINION

Armed Forces mandate doesn’t bode well for Egypt

GYPT’S SUPREME Council of the Armed Forces promised it would transfer power to the new president by the end of June, following the decree it issued under which it maintains significant powers until a new constitution is written, limiting the power of that president. Inspection of SCAF’s decree reveals that the military has not only given itself power to potentially form the committee that will write the constitution, but also legislative power until a new parliament is elected. It has mandated its head as the head of the army, rather than the president, until a new constitution, clauses of which it has given itself veto power

over, is written. This decree will heavily circumscribe the power of the future president, and is being seen by many as a pre-emptive coup to ward against the possibility that Egypt’s Islamists will triumph in elections. It follows the military’s decision to dissolve the parliament, in which the Muslim Brotherhood gained a majority in elections six months ago. This situation does not bode well for a country that’s in dire need of, firstly, security and stability so that people can return to work and the government can begin attempts to revive the dying economy, bridge the country’s deficit and attract investors. The Daily Star, Lebanon

QUOTE OF THE DAY “I just cried my heart out because I’d gone through this already in Port Jervis. But we couldn’t walk away from this.” Dolly Yunkunis The 82-year-old, who had moved to Kingston to escape flooding in Port Jervis, recounted the devastation of the Agnes flood 40 years ago.

Gender equality crucial

RECENT SURVEY of G20 countries found that the most developed economies also have the greatest gender equity. Canada tops the list, followed by Germany and the United Kingdom. The study reveals, yet again, the strong correlation between sustainable growth and gender equity. A country cannot progress until it includes women in the labor market in a meaningful way, removes barriers to advancement and offers the same opportunities for education and health care as men. Nowhere is this more true than in India, a democracy with an emerging economy which came dead last in the survey, conducted by Thomson Reuters Foundation.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh noted that India’s most underutilized resource is women, who compose only onethird of the labor force. A panel of 379 experts ranked the 20 nations on several factors, including women’s and girls’ access to state resources, politics, quality of health, freedom from violence and freedom from slavery and sex trafficking. Also lagging in the survey are Mexico, China, South Africa and Indonesia. Saudi Arabia was second-to-last. The best way to transform such a society is to convince government and the private sector of the business case for the advancement of women. The Globe and Mail, Toronto

Euro on life support?

HE EUROZONE crisis had a temporary reprieve before chaos returned because of renewed uncertainty, this time about Spain. There was initial relief about the results of the Greek election, which saw the New Democracy party, which is willing to accept an austerity deal to remain in the euro, get three per cent more of the vote than the radical Syriza party. That translates into far more seats in parliament for the winning party. Meanwhile, the French socialists’ victory in parliamentary elections should give us pause. Following François Hollande’s win in last month’s presidential election, the latest

results give him huge power. He should have little difficulty getting his tax-and-spend policies passed. Hollande is committed to reducing the deficit, but the program for doing so has been extended to 2017. But where does this leave the Franco-German alliance? The German chancellor, Angela Merkel, is clear that a longterm resolution of the eurozone crisis lies in a fiscal union which would require all economies in the single currency to harmonize their fiscal policies and budgets. For now, a chaotic breakup of the euro has been averted — but perhaps only postponed. London Evening Standard

he Rotary Club of Plymouth would like to thank the golfers, hole sponsors, prize donators, contributors and Rotarians who made this year’s 12th annual golf tournament a tremendous success. A special thanks to Mother Nature for not disrupting our day and a big thank-you to Rolling Pines Golf Course and Balzano’s Catering for their contributions. For a dozen years, we have raised money to assist in our holiday projects during December. Our signature project, “Kids @ Kristmas” sponsors economically disadvantaged children on a holiday shopping spree at Kmart and puts a little “magic” into their Christmas. I would encourage any golfer, sponsor or contributor to attend this project during the holiday season and perhaps to serve as a chaperone. When you are a part of something that does so much good for so many people, it keeps you motivated to do it again and again. Our community service projects are sponsored by the Rotary Club of Plymouth, but they are funded by you! Without the support of the local community, none of this is possible. Budd O’Malia J.K.

We should make it easy for all to get photo ID

hether you are pro or con, voter ID is here. There are some merits to it, although negligible. Nationally, or at least locally, we should make every effort to help those who do not have the required ID to get it. I’m concerned mainly about people who are sick at home, hospitals and nursing homes, those who lost or had their birth certificates destroyed by flood or fire. We need to make it as easy as possible for these people to the point of doting. Life is hard enough for a lot of good people and they need to be able to pick up a phone and make contact with someone who can get them the proper ID. The only reason a person should not have ID would be because of out and out indifference. There is absolutely no reason why we can’t do this. John Mihalchik Sr. Ashley

the evening of Friday, June15, with the Plains Better Hometown Committee; an historic tour on Saturday; a barbecue and silent auction with the Carters on Saturday night; and a church service with the Carters the next morning. The Cooks have spearheaded several projects to benefit the Plains Better Hometown Program since they began visiting there in 2004 as presidential historians and eventually became good friends with the Carters. In April 2011, they hosted an auction in Plains Township attended by the Carters and a contingent from the Plains Better Hometown Program as a fundraiser for the program. Carters greet everyone The bus trip gave local folks an opportunity to experience southern hospitality and again support the hometown program. “We were just thrilled that the trip went so well. Everybody had a great time,” Larry Cook said. The biggest surprise of the trip was the Carters attending the Friday night reception at the Plains Community Center. “The Carters were not scheduled to be there, but when we arrived, they were there to greet everyone, which was really very nice. … I stood with President Carter and Diane stood with Mrs. Carter, and as everybody came in, we introduced them personally to the Carters,” Cook said. The next day, Diane Cook said, the group went to President Carter’s boyhood home for a personal tour from officials with the National Park Service. “I thought the trip was fantastic. Very rarely does an individual get to relive the life of a president on his boyhood farm,” said Harold Cawley, Anne’s husband. The group got in some shopping and souvenir buying time and lunch after a special drive through the Carters’ compound past their home, which was arranged by Jan Williams, a longtime friend of the Carters and their daughter Amy’s former school teacher, Larry Cook said. Barbecue is highlight “Then that evening was the barbecue and the Carters just mingled with everybody. We had a pig roast, so we had all the southern food. They made a whole meal and then we had homemade peach cobbler for dessert,” Diane Cook said. The barbecue was held in the barn of Mill and Gloria Simmons. Mill is chairman of the Plains Better Hometown Program. “The time at the dinner we had, when Mr. Carter came in and sat at our table and talked with us like we were one of the neighborhood people, it was very special,” Harold Cawley said. “It never felt like he was an expresident. It was like he was our

If they have any sort of legacy it’s the church, said the Richwines. “We’ve brought an awful lot of new people to the church,” said Patty. Many of them came from the Salvation Army’s social service programs and wouldn’t do well at other churches, explained Doug. “And that’s probably, I would say, what we’ve enjoyed most about being in Wilkes-Barre is to be there for those people that typically wouldn’t have somebody walk the long road with them, “ said Patty. But the couple leaves behind books in need of balancing. “The downfall is we haven’t fixed the finances,” said Doug. The area has a high unemployment rate, making it a challenge to raise much-needed funds. Still, the community responds and contributes so the nonprofit organization canoperatetheKirbyFamilyHouse, where entire homeless families can live.

Schnelly said the proposed court-related contract includes some county “must haves” dealing with seniority and switching to a 40-hour work week. “It’s not that the union is against a 40-hour work week, but a person should be paid for it,” Schnelly said. She said she can’t release additional details before the vote.

Work schedules now The unit’s 43 sheriff deputies work 35 hours. The remaining unit employees, primarily clerks, work 32.5 hours. These employees are in the clerk of courts, district attorney, prothonotary, public defender and register of wills offices. The unit would receive no raise in 2012, 2 percent in 2013 and 2.5 percent in 2014, the final year of the contract, according to two sources familiar with the proposed contract. Union members would contribute 10 percent toward health care next year – 15 percent for new hires, the sources said. The 10-percent contribution is currently made by employees hired after March 2008. All other employees pay $30 per month for single and $75 per month for family coverage, which amounts to $360 or $900 annually. A switch to 10 percent is a concession for employees hired before March 2008 because it currently equates to $526.50 per year for single coverage up to $1,286 for family. The amount also is subject to increase if health care costs rise in the county, which is self-insured. The county also wants a drastic change in the handling of seniority to conform with the new personnel code, which focuses on merit-based

bowls from wood. “He’s quite the carpenter. And he’s written (25) books. He’s like a renaissance man,” Byron said. The tour group headed back to Pennsylvania on the bus immediately after the service, and the Cooks remained for a private lunch with the Carters to discuss upcoming projects. Next in the works is an initiative to raise money for new signs welcoming people to Plains, Ga. “We should be able to complete that project rather shortly,” he said, given there is only one road into and out of town, so only two signs are needed. The Cooks will be soliciting private donations for the project.

decisions, the sources said. Furlough rules Under the existing contract, which expired at the end of 2011, employees within a department must be laid off in seniority order, with the newest furloughed first. Furloughed employees with the most seniority must be recalled first if jobs are restored. The county’s proposed contract says these conditions will be honored if the affected employees are the “most qualified to perform the duties and functions of the job classification.” When positions become vacant, the current contract says the county must post notice of available jobs to allow union workers to apply. “The employer agrees to select the most senior, qualified, employee bidding on the position. A qualified full-time county employee shall be given the position over an applicant not employed by the county,” the current contract says. The proposed contract says the employer agrees to select the most qualified senior employee bidding on a position. A county employee will be given preference in filling the position if that person is more qualified than someone not already employed by the county. The median salary for unit employees in each office: clerk of courts, $28,483; district attorney, $27,650; prothonotary, $30,050; public defender, $27,750; wills, $32,875; and sheriff, $31,550. The county isn’t proposing changes in other benefits, the sources said. Unit employees receive length-of-service bonuses ranging from $200 to $1,100 annually, starting at 10 years of service. Sixty-six unit employees receive five to 25 vacation days, though the remaining 44 are capped at 20 because they were hired after Jan. 1, 2003. Sick days are capped at 13 for the 21 employees hired after Jan.1, 2007, while the rest receive 17.

By BRETT MARTEL AP Sports Writer

NEW ORLEANS — Former Saints linebacker Scott Fujita, a union leader with a record of criticizing the NFL’s player-safety record, sees elements of a “smear campaign” in a bounty investigation that has sullied his reputation. Some NFL players agree, and question whether Fujita’s three-game suspension has something to do with retribution. Fujita “I’m not saying the NFL is intentionally lying,” Fujita said in an interview with The Associated Press. “I’ve been willing to give them the benefit of the doubt that they may have just been working with the information they’ve been given, even though much of that information was inaccurate and lacked credibility. “It’s their cavalier interpretation of everything that’s been way off. They clearly proceeded with a public smear campaign with very little regard for the truth.” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell could rule on the appeals of Fujita and the other players suspended because of their roles in the bounty program as early as Monday. Saints linebacker Scott Shanle finds it hard to ignore the symmetry of the NFL portraying Fujita as a hypocrite on player-safety matters after Fujita had done the same thing to the league. “When you look at Scott, who was here for one season (of the three spanned by the bounty probe), for him to get three

Laneski, Matthews capture title at annual event By PAUL SOKOLOSKI psokoloski@timesleader.com

EXETER – It went down to the last shot on the final hole, but Rick Laneski’s long wait finally ended. At long last, he’s a champion at the biggest golf tournament of his member club. Laneski and his partner Brandon Matthews took a two-hole lead with three to play in the championship round, then staved off a furious rally by Bill Gill and Todd Vanderheid to capture

It felt like a holiday for his partner. “It’s like Christmas in June,” Matthews said. No gifts Sunday, though. Matthews and Laneski had to earn their title all the way to the very end.

BOSTON — Kevin Youkilis took off his batting helmet, waved to the crowd and blew a kiss to his adoring fans. A favorite at Fenway Park for so long, he wanted a final chance to say so long. The Boston Red Sox traded away the hard-nosed Youkilis on Sunday, sending the three-time All-Star infielder and cash to the Chicago White Sox for utilityman Brent Lillibridge and right-hander Zach Stewart. A member of Boston teams that won the World Series in 2004 and 2007, the 33-year-old Youkilis had seen his playing time drastically cut lately. He now joins the AL Central-leading White Sox, who wanted a regular third baseman. “I just got off the phone with him, he’s very excited to join our club and he’s got a little edge to himthatIlike,”WhiteSoxgeneral manager Kenny Williams said. “I can’t tell you exactly what he said, but he wants to come in and prove some people wrong.” Youkilis had a rousing end to his days with the Red Sox. After hitting an RBI triple in the seventh inning of a 9-4 win over the Atlanta Braves, he was lifted for a pinch runner. Longtime pal Nick Punto came out to replace him and the pair hugged. Youkilis saluted the crowd and was rewarded with a standing ovation. His teammates, coaches and manager Bobby Valentine all were on the top step of the dugout cheering for him, and they urged Youkilis to take a curtain call. Youkilis’ time in Boston became limited because of the play of rookie Will Middlebrooks, hitting .326 with nine homers and 34 RBIs in 41 games. The season started kind of rocky between Youkilis and firstyear manager Valentine.

KIEV, Ukraine — Alessandro Diamanti scored the decisive penalty kick Sunday to send Italy through to the European Championship semifinals with a 4-2 win in the shootout following a 0-0 tie with England and a spot. Ashley Young hit the crossbar with England’s third, and Ashley Cole’s attempt was saved by Gianluigi Buffon. Italy will next play Germany in the semifinals on Thursday in Warsaw, Poland. Mario Balotelli, Andrea Pirlo — with an audacious slow chip-shot down the middle of the goal — and

Nocerino, another substitute, thought he had scored from Diamanti’s cross in the 115th but was offside. Daniele De Rossi hit the post in the third minute, and Buffon saved a shot from Glen Johnson in the fifth. For England, it was yet another exit from a major tournament in the quarterfinals after a penalty shootout. England lost to Portugal in the same manner at Euro 2004 and the 2006 World Cup. Italy dominated the match, which ended 0-0 after 120 minutes of play. The Italians twice hit the post, but AP PHOTO were also let down by poor composure in front of goal. Diamanti Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, right, and Alessandro Diamanti cele-

Antonio Nocerino also scored for Italy. Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney scored England’s penalties. The match ended 0-0 after 120 minutes of play. The Italians twice hit the post, but were also let down by poor composure in front of goal. Diamanti clipped the post with a curling cross in the101st minute, and swept a clear shot wide in the clearest chance of the second period of extra time. See SOCCER, Page 4B

The Tampa Bay Rays’ Carlos Pena, right runs the bases after he hit a three-run home run against the Philadelphia Phillies in the eighth inning of the first baseball game of an interleague doubleheader on Sunday in Philadelphia.

Conrad leads Rays to sweep of Phils The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Brooks Conrad hit a pair of two-run doubles off winless Cliff Lee and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Philadelphia Phillies 7-3 Sunday night to complete a day-night doubleheader sweep. Lee (0-4) allowed five runs and six hits in seven innings. The 2008 AL Cy Young Award winner hasn’t won a game since last Sept. 26, or 273 days ago. Lee is making $21.5 million this year, most on the Phillies. In the opener, Carlos Pena hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning and the Rays held on for a 3-2 victory, making David Price the first AL pitcher to reach 10 wins. Marlins 9, Blue Jays 0

MIAMI — Mark Buehrle pitched effectively for seven innings to become the winningest pitcher in interleague play, John Buck hit a three-run homer and the Miami Marlins snapped a six-game losing streak with a win over the Toronto Blue Jays. Twins 4, Reds 3

CINCINNATI — Josh Willingham hit a two-run homer in the ninth inning off shaky Cincinnati closer Aroldis Chapman, rallying the Minnesota Twins over the Reds. Red Sox 9, Braves 4

BOSTON — Cody Ross hit two homers and drove in five runs, and the Boston Red Sox beat the Atlanta Braves in a game that likely was Kevin Youkilis’ farewell to the Fenway Park fans.

their first three-game sweep in Kansas City since 2009. Mike Moustakas had two home runs for the Royals, who gave up 41 hits and 30 runs to their state rivals in the three games. The previous weekend in St. Louis, the Royals won two out of three. Angels 5, Dodgers 3

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Mark Trumbo drove in Albert Pujols with the tiebreaking run in the seventh inning, and the Los Angeles Angels won their season series with the Los Angeles Dodgers for the third straight year with a victory. Padres 2, Mariners 0

SAN DIEGO — Edinson Volquez pitched shutout ball into the seventh inning and Alexi Amarista hit a two-run double as the San Diego Padres beat the Seattle Mariners. Athletics 4, Giants 2

OAKLAND, Calif. — Derek Norris hit a three-run shot with two outs in the ninth inning for his first major league home run, and the Oakland Athletics walked off with a stunning victory over the San Francisco Giants.

T H I S D AT E I N B A S E B A L L Compiled By PAUL MONTELLA June 25 1934 Pitcher John Broaca tied a major league record by striking out five consecutive times but pitched the Yankees to an 11-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox. Lou Gehrig had better luck at the plate, hitting for the cycle. 1937 Augie Galan of Chicago became the first National League switch-hitter to hit home runs from both sides of the plate as the Cubs beat the Brooklyn Dodgers 11-2. 1950 Chicago’s Hank Sauer hit two home runs and two doubles to pace the Cubs to an11-8 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. 1961 Baltimore and California used a major league record 16 pitchers, eight by each side, as the Orioles edged the Angels 9-8 on Ron Hansen’s 14th-inning homer. 1968 Bobby Bonds, in his first major league game, hit a grand slam off John Purdin to help San Francisco to a 9-0 win over Los Angeles. 1998 Sammy Sosa broke the major league record for homers in a month, hitting his 19th of June leading off the seventh inning of the Cubs’ 6-4 loss to Detroit. Sosa passed the mark set by Detroit’s Rudy York in August 1937. 1999 Jose Jimenez, a rookie right-hander having one of the worst seasons of any NL pitcher, threw St. Louis’ first no-hitter in 16 seasons, outdueling Randy Johnson in a 1-0 victory over Arizona. 2002 History was made when Luis Pujols’ Detroit Tigers took the field against Tony Pena’s Kansas City Royals. Pujols and Pena became the first Dominican-born managers to oppose each other in a major league game. 2004 Larry Walker hit three home runs — the third in the10th inning — in Colorado’s 10-8 victory over Cleveland. 2007 A fan charged at Bob Howry during the Cubs’ 10-9 win over Colorado, after the reliever helped blow an 8-3 lead in the ninth inning. Howry gave up back-to-back RBI singles to Garrett Atkins and Brad Hawpe and a three-run homer to Troy Tulowitzki. The fan then jumped onto the field from the roof of the Rockies’ dugout and made it a few feet from the mound before security guards tackled him. Howry earned the victory when Alfonso Soriano hit a game-ending two-run single in the bottom of the inning. 2011 Cleveland’s Tony Sipp balked home the only run with the bases loaded in the seventh inning of a 1-0 loss to San Francisco. Sipp slightly flinched his left arm before throwing a pitch to Emmanuel Burriss, allowing Miguel Tejada to score and sending San Francisco to its fourth straight win. There also were two errors in the inning by second baseman Cord Phelps that spoiled a strong start by Justin Masterson.

HARNESS RACING

Nothing to cry about: Googoo Gaagaa sets record By JOHN MEDEIROS jmedeiros@timesleader.com

PLAINS -- In a trot that seemed impossible not too long ago, Googoo Gaagaa raced to a world-record finish at the $500,000 Earl Beal Jr. Memorial on Saturday night at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. Driven by Corey Callahan, Googoo Gaagaa completed the mile in 1:50:4, breaking the record that tandem set just a week prior for 3-year-old colts at Pocono Downs. It also broke the world record for all ages on a 5/8-mile track, a 1:51 trot posted by Arch Madness in 2010 at Pocono Downs. “He’s just a machine,” Callahan said of his horse. “He’s a

professional in every sense of the word. That was such a big thrill for me.” Stormin Normand and Magic Tonight had the early lead in the Beal, with Googoo Gaagaa running third from the start. As the field made the turn to the frontstretch for the first time, Callahan’s horse moved to the front, leading Stormin Normand. “When I got into position on that first turn, I got where I wanted to be,” Callahan said. “That was my plan. Stormin Normand raced a good race, but we were where we needed to be.” Stormin Normand’s last race was also a Beal qualifier at Pocono Downs, and the horse driven

by hall of famer Dave Palone ran a 1:51:4. That would have been a record any other time out, but it came two races after Googoo Gaagaa’s effort. On Saturday, Googoo Gaagaa and Stormin Normand remained 1-2, and they pulled away from the field. Googoo Gaagaa won by more than a length, with Little Brown Fox and driver Yannick Gingras third. Googoo Gaagaa’s career earnings swelled to $345,945. “Tonight was definitely a test,” Callahan said. “That’s the first time I asked him for a little bit of trot and he gave it to me in world record fashion. I think he can do a little bit more but we haven’t gotten to that point.”

The then-unheralded Maryland horse, owned and trained by Richard Hans, started his career last year by winning his first five races. The best time Callahan had with Googoo Gaagaa was a 1:58 when the win streak ended in April in Chester. “It was my fault,” said Callahan, a Maryland native whose biggest prior win was the Hoosier Cup in 2009 with Mr. Wiggles. “We put a bike on him that didn’t fit. He hit the bike and it scared him -- he’d never done that before.” And he’s never run the same since. While the horse broke stride that night, the next time out was the best race yet for Callahan

Yanks stop slide, beat Indians

The Times Leader Staff

INDIANAPOLIS – The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees snapped a six-game losing streak as Gustavo Molina and Jack Cust homered and four pitchers combined on a 4-0 shutout Sunday over the Indianapolis Indians The Indians saw a seven-game winning streak of their own ended. Molina gave the Yankees all the runs they would need with a solo home run in the third inning. Later in inning, Kevin Russo came around to score on a Cust single after being hit by a pitch. Russo made it 3-0 in the fifth when he scored on a ground out. Cust closed out the scoring with a seventh-inning home run. Adam Warren (5-5, 3.27 ERA) got the win, allowing five hits and no runs in five innings of work. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and Indianapolis will meet for the final game of their four-game series today at 7:05 p.m. at Victory Field. Right hander Dellin Betances (3-5, 5.78 ERA) gets the start for the Yankees and right hander Daniel Cabrera (3-3, 4.47 ERA) will start for the Indians.

record-setters come from five-, six- and seven-figure bloodlines. “Just $1,200,” Hans admitted was the cost for Kora’s Trotter. When the mare didn’t become impregnated by the potential sire Hans originally had lined up, the trainer presented one of his family’s horses, Cam’s Rocket -- a winner 23 times in 94 career races, to serve as sire. It turned out to be the perfect combination. Next Saturday features more than $1.5 million in purses at Pocono Downs thanks to three big stakes races -- the James Lynch Memorial, the Max Hempt Memorial and the Ben Franklin. For Googoo Gaagaa, the Yonkers Trot is up next.

TENNIS

winning streak at major tournaments ended with a four-set loss to No. 2 Rafael Nadal in the French Open final two weeks ago. Asked how he was able to put that in the past, Djokovic replied: “Well, I had to.” “It’s behind me now — I was so close — even though there was a slight disappointment after the match, because I was aware of the chance that I had in Roland Garros,” he said. “But the day after, I felt good about my tournament, about my achievement in Paris. It was the first time I ever have been inthefinalsofRolandGarros....I’m still only 25, so I believe that I have a lot more years and a lot more chances to win Roland Garros.” He famously plucked some blades of grass from the Centre Court lawn, then shoved them in his mouth, after beating Nadal in last year’s Wimbledon final. That was Djokovic’s first title of any sort on grass, allowed him to overtake Nadal atop the rankings and cemented the Serb as the new man to beat in tennis. He followed that up by beating Nadal in the finals at the U.S. Open in September and Australian Open in January, too. They are the first men to meet in four successive Grand Slam finals; even Nadal and Federer never played each other in more than two in a row, although their eight major finals overall (Nadal leads 6-2) is a record. “When I started to play well, Roger always was there. With Novak,it’slittlebittheotherway:Iwas there, and then he came,” said Nadal, who has played in five Wimbledon finals, winning two. “So (it’s) difficult for me to analyze which rivalry is more important, less important, more attractive, less attractive.” There is something about which Nadal is certain, however, when it comes to all of these matchups with Djokovic and Federer on the sport’s biggest stages. “If you are not able to improve your level of tennis,” Nadal said, “you are dead.”

games, I just felt like there had to be more of a personal issue with that,” Shanle said. “When you look at how outspoken he is and a lot of the issues he tries to address, it probably doesn’t sit well with the league.” NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the NFL stands by its finding that Fujita gave “more than token amounts” of money to a pool that also rewarded injury-producing hits called “cart-offs” and “knockouts.” “The process gave all of the players every opportunity to raise arguments and provide any mitigating information,” Aiello said. “Scott Fujita unfortunately chose not to avail himself of the process. Nothing that he has asserted in his various public statements undermines the findings of the investigation.”

DALLAS – Back Mountain National survived losing a four-run lead to defeat Wyoming West Wyoming 7-4 in the District 31 9-10 year old tournament Sunday afternoon. Dylan Wesly pitched 3 1/3 innings of shutout baseball, striking out seven for Back Mountain. Bobby Lugiano picked up the win in relief. Freddie Lombard went 2 for 2 at the plate with two doubles, two runs scored and an RBI for National. Also contributing were Jack Farrell with one hit and two runs scored, Dylan Wesley with one hit and two rbi, Alex Magdalinski with one hit and an RBI and Nathan Salus with a hit. Wyoming/West Wyoming was led by Brett Bednarski with two hits, two doubles and two RBI. Also contributing were Dylan Williams with a double, Toby Hallman with a single, Reilly Rusyn with two hits and Gavin Bryan with one hit and one RBI.

And we can say we took him to the 18th.” Matthews, on his way to begin his collegiate golfing career at Temple University, dominated the day with tremendous drives and creative shooting. His chip on the 16th came to rest within two feet of the hole. “If I made that,” Matthews said, “it would have been the shot of the day.” He had others in his bag.

I have a good partner, a wonderful golf club. This is my first and Brandon’s first. “It’s a thrill for us to get our names on the John Allan board.” compared to only nine for England. England had briefly led the shootout after Riccardo Montolivo missed Italy’s second penalty. His shot went wide of Joe Hart’s right post as the England goalkeeper guessed correctly. Rooney then sent Buffon the wrong way, firing in his spot kick to the keeper’s right to give England a 2-1 lead. The momentum shifted after Pirlo’s bold piece of skill leveled at 2-2.

Forget the numbers: Let’s play some hunches Baseball has always been a game driven by numbers. Traditionally, we say a hitter’s season is a success if he tops a .300 average, hits 30 HRs or drives in 100 plus runs. For pitchers, the magic numbers are 20 wins, 200 strikeouts or an ERA below 3.00. But beginning sometime in the mid 1990s, people who thought they are smarter than the average bear began muddling things up a bit. Math replaced instinct and sabermetrics was born. Suddenly the minor league scout who watched Prospect A’s towering home runs was more

RICH SHEPOSH FANTASY BASEBALL interested in Prospect D’s on base percentage. The data isn’t a useless exercise. It does do a good job pointing out player trends and strengths. But with all this emphasis on statistical navel gazing, whatever happened to the good old fashioned hunch? No concrete evidence. No number crunching. No slide rules, protractors or calculators. Just a gut and the feeling that goes with it. Today, we embrace our inner sixth sense and look at five players or trends that we just have a good idea about.

O LY M P I C T R I A L S

No guarantees they’ll be right. It’s just a hunch, after all. STEPHEN STRASBURG AND LANCE LYNN won’t maintain their success in the second half. Strasburg and Lynn are young pitchers, getting their first taste of big league success. But neither has pitched a full season in the majors before. It’s a long campaign, and stamina plays a big part in six months of success. Until they prove they can handle it, the second half “wall” looms large. Besides, the Nationals have gone on record as saying they’re limited Strasburg to an inning count this year – which would shut down his season at the beginning of September. R.A. DICKEY will not win the NL Cy Young Award. This

guy’s recent pitching is bordering on legendary. Two one-hitters in consecutive games. Six wins in his last six starts, with no earned runs in his last five. That’s Hershiser/Drysdale territory. But Dickey’s a knuckleballer, and historically knuckleballers have been very streaky. If you don’t know exactly where your pitch is going to end up, it tough to maintain consistency. Right now, he’s on a good streak. That won’t last. MATT KEMP will be the second half MVP. If the season ended April 30th, Kemp would have his name engraved on some NL hardware by now. A bum hamstring has cost him 35 games, but he still has as many HRs as Alex Rodriguez, Matt Holliday and

Mark Teixeira. The Dodgers’ outfielder is due back after the All-Star break and there’s no reason why he can’t go on a two-month tear and duplicate his April success. ERNESTO FRIERI will finish as a top five closer in 2012. He was languishing in the San Diego bullpen before the Angels traded for him and delivered him from the Padres. He took over the closer role on May 23 and converted eight out of eight chances, without giving up a run in the process. The Angels are a good team, and that means they’ll have lots of late-inning leads to protect. Frieri will be the guy to do it.

By PAT GRAHAM AP Sports Writer

EUGENE, Ore. — Tyson Gay took a giant swig of water and then another before crouching into the starting blocks. The American record holder breathed deeply and cleared his mind — forgetting all about the surgically repaired right hip or that he really hasn’t tested it out at top-end speed in more than a year. All that mattered was this race before him, the 100-meter final in the U.S. Olympics trials Sunday night. And after flying down the track, not a trace of a limp in his step, this much was clear: The old Tyson Gay was back. He finished second to 2004 Olympic gold medalist Justin Gatlin, who crossed the line in 9.80 seconds. Gay was only 0.06 seconds behind, but the time hardly mattered. He was headed to the London Games when a year ago that very notion looked improbable. “Bittersweet. I always like to win,” Gay said. “I came in second. But at the end of the day, it was about making the team. I got to make sure I turn this little bit of a frown into a happy face. For me to start training in March and make the team is a beautiful accomplishment.” Also joining Gatlin and Gay in London will be 23-year-old Ryan Bailey, who edged 2009 U.S. champion Mike Rodgers, Doc

Patton and Walter Dix, the Olympic bronze medalist in Beijing. Dix pulled up in the semifinals with a left Gatlin hamstring injury and wasn’t the same in the final. He’s hoping to be ready for the 200 later this week. “Things like this happen. I really can’t say much about it,” Dix said. For Gatlin, his comeback is nearly complete. The last time he was at the Olympics trials — eight years ago — he was a youngster about ready to become the next big thing in sprinting. He won gold in Athens and a world title the following year, before his fall from grace. He tested positive for excessive testosterone in 2006, leading to a four-year ban that prevented him from defending his title in Beijing. Now 30, he’s attempting to repair his tarnished image. “Usually, I have a lot of words. I’m almost speechless,” Gatlin said. “Everything just feels so surreal. I just let the heart really go out and do what it had to do. “I wasn’t too hyped, wasn’t too calm. It felt just right and went out there and gave it my all. I have a lot more left in the tank.” How much faster can he go? “Enough to win another gold,” he said.

Colwill captures 3-meter; Viola takes home 10-meter D I V I N G By TIM BOOTH AP Sports Writer

FEDERAL WAY, Wash. — No matter what happened on the final dive Kristian Ipsen and Troy Dumais were already bound for London. Chris Colwill didn’t have that security. With his Olympic hopes on the line and a sliver of a lead, Colwill’s final dive of the U.S. Olympic trials men’s 3-meter springboard finals Sunday was the highest scoring dive of the entire competition. Colwillralliedfromthirdplaceto win the men’s 3-meter springboard, while Dumais held off Ipsen in the final round to finish second and reach his fourth Olympics in the event. “Competing in the Olympics that definitely was the biggest pressure, but I felt like I did a good job and enjoy myself and have fun and not worry so much about how the event was going to go and embrace the environment,” Colwill said. The other final on Sunday saw Brittany Viola, daughter of1988 Cy Young Award winning pitcher Frank Viola, win the women’s 10meterplatforminherthirdattempt to make the Olympics. Viola dominated the competition winning by nearly 60 points ahead of second place Katie Bell,

who claimed the other qualifying spot for the London games. Viola scored 86.40 on her secondround dive, an armstand back Colwill dive from the platform with 2 somersaults and 1 1/2 twists, getting all 9s from the judges. “Agreaterperspectivethatthisis justanothermeet,”Violasaidofher previous trials experiences. “Although there are a lot of lights and colors and Olympic rings everywhere it comes down to the diver and the platform and that’s something Katie and I can take into the Olympics.” Colwill was third after the preliminaries and third after the semifinals, positions that would have left him on the outside of Olympics if the final held to form. He entered the finals more than 42 points behind Ispen, but was the best of the trio in the finale. He scored at least 74 points on all six of his dives and qualified for his second Olympics in the event. Colwill finished 12th at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. Ipsen and Dumais were already headed to London together as the U.S. representative in the synchronized 3-meter springboard competition.

They may not be enough to save the Phillies’ season, but by the time they get their hitting legs under them, they’ll help out the fantasy fortunes of Jimmy Rollins, Shane Victorino and Hunter Pence. The Phillies have made a habit of playing better after the AllStar break, and Howard and Utley offer a lot more lineup protection than Ty Wigginton and Mike Fontenot. They’ll never hit like its 2008 again, but they won’t hit like the dead-ball era has returned either. * Stats as of Saturday night.

Marc Leishman hits a drive on the 10th hole during the final round of the Travelers Championship in Cromwell, Conn., on Sunday. Leishman shot a final-round 62 to win the tournament at 14-under par.

Leishman shoots 62 to win The Associated Press

CROMWELL, Conn. — Marc Leishman shot an 8under 62 on Sunday in the Travelers Championship, then went back to the clubhouse to eat, watch some soccer and wait to see where he would finish. More than two hours later, after Charley Hoffman blew a two-stroke lead on the final two holes, Leishman was hoisting his first championship trophy on the PGA Tour. “I think Charley was on the 15th when I turned the golf on,” Leishman said. “I watched that, then just went over and hit some balls and putted for a bit and it turned out well.” The 28-year-old Australian began the day six strokes behind the leaders, but made eight birdies in a bogey-free round. He finished at 14-under 266. “I didn’t think it was going to be enough,” he said. “Golf is a funny game, a really funny game.” Hoffman was 16 under heading to the 17th hole, but pushed his tee shot right and into the water. He made a double bogey, and bogeyed the 18th after failing to get up and down from a greenside bunker. “When it’s said and done, obviously a bad finish and a bad taste in my mouth, but you learn from it,” he said. “Any time you put yourself in contention, you learn from that.” Hoffman closed with a 66 to tie for second with Masters champion Bubba Watson, who shot a 65. Leishman became the fifth player in seven years to break through with their first tour win at River Highlands, joining Fredrik Jacobson last year, Watson in 2010, Hunter Mahan in 2007 and J.J. Henry in 2006. Leishman’s 62 was the lowest score in a final round by a champion on tour this season. “You’d almost rather make a few birdies coming in to win, rather than have someone hand it to you,” he said. “But having said that, I’m not going

to give this back or anything.” Hoffman seemed to be in command standing on the 17th tee, and still had a chance to win on 18. He put his tee shot onto a hill to the right and he put his second shot into the bunker. He ran that shot long and missed a 17-foot par putt. Watson made a run at the lead on the front nine, with four birdies. But he had to scramble on the back nine, saving par on the 15th after putting his tee shot in the water. He also made par on 17 after hitting his second shot over the water and onto the green from the rough. “Just didn’t finish it off on the back,” he said. “I made my run and just didn’t kind of really have anything after that.” “I was just trying to give myself as many chances as I could,” he said. “It was nice to have a couple of tap-in birdies.” Leishman’s win gave him just his second top-10 finish this season. He didn’t play in Memphis or at the U.S. Open and said he came back after two weeks off refreshed. “I practiced I think two times in the three weeks,” he said. “It’s been close for a while actually. I just get a little bit streaky with the putter, and I haven’t been lately.” Roland Thatcher, who was tied for the lead after three rounds, began his day with three bogeys on the first six holes. He seemed like an afterthought, until Hoffman’s collapse. But he made an eagle on the par-5 13th after hitting his second shot within 15 feet of the pin. He came up 18 with a chance to force a playoff, but put his second shot into a greenside bunker and bogeyed the hole. “You never want to take the lead going into Sunday and then need two birdies on the last two holes to catch up,” he said. He and fellow co-leader Brian Davis both shot 70, putting them in a group at 12 under with Tim Clark and

John Rollins. Clark, who won the 2010 Players Championship, had elbow surgery last August and had missed the cut in five of the previous nine tournaments he played this season. The course record at River Highlands is 60, set last year by Patrick Cantlay as an amateur. The 20-year-old missed the cut this year in his first professional tournament.

Brittany Lang wins Manulife Financial LPGA Classic WATERLOO, Ontario — Brittany Lang won the Manulife Financial LPGA Classic on Sunday for her first LPGA Tour title, birdieing the par-5 18th three straight times in a playoff. Lang missed a birdie try on the hole in regulation, leaving her tied with Hee Kyung Seo, Inbee Park and Chella Choi at 16-under 286. Choi was eliminated on the first extra hole, and Park dropped out on the second. Lang closed with her second straight 67, Choi had a 63, Seo a 67, and Park a 69. Lang, Seo and Park, playing together in the final threesome at Grey Silo, all had a chance to win in regulation, but settled for pars on the finishing hole to set up the playoff. Mark Calcavecchia wins Montreal Championship SAINTE-JULIE, Quebec — Mark Calcavecchia won the Montreal Championship on Sunday for his second Champions Tour title, matching the course record with an 8-under 64 for a two-stroke victory. The 52-year-old Calcavecchia had six birdies and chipped in for eagle on the par-5 16th hole on Richelieu Valley’s Vercheres Course. He finished at 16-under 200. The 1989 British Open champion, Calcavecchia won for the third time in Canada, following victories in the PGA Tour’s 1997 Greater Vancouver Open and 2005 Canadian Open.

SONOMA, Calif. — Clint Bowyer raced to his first victory on a road course, and first with Michael Waltrip Racing, by holding off Kurt Busch at Sonoma. Bowyer dominated Sunday’s race by leading 70 of the 112 laps. Defending race winner Busch, in an un- Bowyer sponsored car, was all over the bumper of Bowyer’s Toyota late and got a final shot at taking the win away when caution flew with four laps remaining. Only Busch damaged his car with roughly eight laps to go, and he worried the entire caution period whether his Chevrolet was ruined and had no chance of catching Bowyer through the two-lap overtime sprint to the finish. Bowyer raced side-by-side with Busch at the green flag, then cleared Busch and pulled away for the win. “Kurt raced me clean, he bumped me and roughed me up, but never did anything to jeopardize either one of us,” Bowyer said. Bowyer, who left Richard Childress Racing at the end of last season to join MWR, had to walk to Victory Lane to celebrate with his new crew after his car ran out of gas. “I’m super excited for everybody involved,” Bowyer said. “To switch teams like I did was a huge risk and a chance for me, and it was a chance to showcase my talents.” It was a strong day all-around for MWR, which got a fourthplace finish from Brian Vickers, who was back to NASCAR after racing last weekend at Le Mans. Martin Truex Jr. led 15 laps, and was running in the top 10 until a late-race incident dropped him to 22nd. “Everybody is just working together,” Bowyer said. “That’s something we are very proud of.” Tony Stewart passed Busch on the final lap to claim second, but said it was because Busch’s car was struggling. “Every time he would go in the corner, the rear end would shift, and it was running him to the outside of the track on entry and it was screwing his corner up,” Stewart said. “Kind of got it by default there to a certain degree. Once we got by there, we just were not close enough in that last lap to get to Clint.” Busch wound up third. He was emotional after — Busch missed Pocono earlier this month because he was suspended by NASCAR for verbally abusing a media member — and said he was thrilled to compete for the win in an underfunded, unsponsored Phoenix Racing car. “It’s an amazing day, when you can do what we did,” Busch said.

Grandma’s birthday celebration causes generational rift in the family Dear Abby: I just celebrated my 80th birthday at a party with 22 of my dearest friends. I also invited my daughterin-law, “Sydney,” and her mother. The problem is, I didn’t invite my 8-year-old granddaughter. I explained that I felt she wouldn’t enjoy herself. Sydney disagreed. I then suggested perhaps it would be better if I had a dinner party for the entire family the following evening at a fine dining restaurant. In retaliation for my not inviting my granddaughter, Sydney declined the dinner invitation, although all other family members attended. My “punishment” was not to receive a

DEAR ABBY ADVICE birthday present from her. Was I wrong not to invite my granddaughter to a party with my 80-year-old friends? — Tried to Be Considerate Dear Tried: I don’t think so. You were being considerate of your granddaughter’s feelings. Had she attended, she would have been bored, and one of your guests or her mother and grandmother would have had to entertain her. That your daughter-in-law would be so petulant as to “punish” you for making the intelligent choice you did indicates that she has some

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

growing up to do. You owe no one any apologies; Sydney does. Dear Abby: My sister-in-law, the only girl and the youngest of my husband’s siblings, is being married soon. We couldn’t be happier. The problem is my mother-in-law. Anytime the subject of the wedding comes up and I chime in, she says, “How would YOU know? You didn’t have a wedding.” My husband and I eloped six years ago. Since then, the subject of weddings has been a problem between my mother-in-law and me. In my opinion, I DID have a wedding. There was a beautiful location, an officiant, a dress, and a commitment made. She continues to make it painfully obvious that she feels it wasn’t a valid wedding because she wasn’t

CRYPTOQUOTE

Dear Married As Anyone: No, but there is plenty you can say after it’s over. At that time, you AND your husband should talk to his mother together so she hears from both of you that her sniping is inappropriate.

Dear Nothing To Hide: It is said that the eyes are the windows of the soul. I agree that trying to converse with someone who is wearing sunglasses can be confusing, because it prevents you from picking up nonverbal cues you might otherwise be given. The person you’re writing about may be shy, paranoid or hiding the bleary remnants of a hangover. But unless you ask why he or she is hiding behind the sunglasses, you will never know if there’s a valid reason for it.

Dear Abby: Would you please weigh in on whether you think wearing sunglasses indoors — particularly in the evening — is rude and not conducive to friendly communication? — Nothing to Hide in New Jersey

To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, self-addressed 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.)

there. Her comments, in front of my husband and children, are insulting and hurtful. Is there anything I could say to let her know we don’t agree with her without rocking the boat too much before her daughter’s wedding? — As Married as Anyone

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Doing research ahead of time isn’t just for important meetings or job interviews. Knowing a little bit about the scene you are about to enter or the people you are likely to meet will make your experience deeper and richer. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Nothing is inherently good or bad. It is what you make of it. If you decide that you’re going to see the outcome as very positive, you’ll get to the opportunity quicker. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are content within yourself. By acting as you naturally would, you set an excellent example for others. And though disruptive forces come into your life to throw you off your game, you don’t let them. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Being grateful always will improve your lot. The more you think about your blessings the more you realize how full your life really is. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your elders are not always right, but listening to them will help you today in many ways. You’ll be entertained and informed by what they did wrong. Knowing what to avoid is just as helpful as knowing what to do. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are the landlord of your heart. What do you do when someone moves in and is not paying rent? In most states, eviction is a tricky process. Try to strike an agreement instead. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When the question of who deserves what comes up, and it will, the most

liberating thing you can do is remove yourself from the position of judgment. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Everything you have done has contributed to the person you are now — and also what you have not done. You’ll make an interesting choice today in the name of expanding your realm of experience. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Preparation is your success secret. Learn all you can about the situation you are about to enter. Think your options through carefully. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You may not be able to assist the ones who come to you today. At least you’ll be able to refer them to the person who can. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The people you meet are like tourists in your city. Even if they have a map, it is still comforting to connect with an actual person who knows the best this place has to offer. Share your knowledge. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have the key to another person’s imagination. In other words, what you express (and how you turn the action) will either open or close the door to this dreamy realm. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 25). You’ll have a strong sense of purpose. You’ll live where you fit in, and you’ll enjoy your lifestyle. July brings a chance to help your loved ones, and you’ll make a remarkable difference. Your lucky numbers are: 19, 2, 3, 39 and 18.
