PHILLIES 5 PIRATES 4

WILKES-BARRE – The city Parking Authority on Tuesday ended the process aimed at leasing its parking assets and terminated the contracts of the Philadelphia law firm it hired and all other consultants. On a 4-0-1 vote, the authority decided it was not in its best interest to continue the process that could have resulted in a private firm leasing city garages,

surface lots and parking meters over 30 years. The city operates the Intermodal Transportation Center and the parking meters. City Council will decide if it wishes to move forward with leasing those assets. The authority has control over the other city parking garages and open lots. The plan has been controversial from the outset. On April 9, Mayor Tom Leighton announced the revenue-raising initiative. He wanted to look into leasing the city’s 2,113 garage spaces, 160 surface lot spaces and 800 parking meters. He hoped to secure a $20 million payment up front

from the successful bidder. The money, Leighton said then, would retire some debt and be used for city infrastructure improvements and address safety issues. He and other City Hall officials did not attend Tuesday’s Parking Authority meeting. Authority Solicitor Murray Ufberg recommended the authority “explore positively” with the city alternatives that will maximally enhance the city and the authority’s parking assets in the future. Authority members said they would be interested in taking See AXED, Page 12A

‘Dragon’ drama moke and flames spewed across a field of battle on Tuesday as two dragons faced off for an epic skirmish. The “How to Train Your Dragon Live Spectacular” opens its North American tour tonight at Mohegan Sun Arena, and cast and crew from the show – including five of the 23 animatronics dragons – gave the local media a taste of what audiences can expect. In an action-packed sequence from the second half of the show, Viking warriors showed off their dragon-taming skills, coercing Nadder – a beautifully colored but deadly species – into dancing for them.

STATE COLLEGE — Jerry Sandusky’s son Matt recalled showering with his future adoptive father as a boy and pretending to be asleep to avoid being touched — memories that surfaced only recently, according to a police interview that details what are the earliest allegations yet of abuse by the former Penn State assistant football coach. Matt Sandusky, now 33, said the abuse started at age 8, a decade before Matt Sandusky he was adopted by the once-heralded defensive coordinator, according to the interview, first reported Tuesday by NBC News. “If you were pretending you were asleep and you were touched or rubbed in some way, you could just act like you were rolling over in your sleep, so that you could change positions,” Matt Sandusky said in an excerpt played Tuesday on NBC’s “Today” show. His attorneys confirmed the recording’s authenticity to The Associated Press. Jerry Sandusky was convicted last week of 45 counts of abusing 10 boys he met through the charity he founded — the same organization that introduced him to Matt Sandusky, who became his foster child. Jerry Sandusky’s principal lawyer did not return messages Tuesday, and another lawyer said only that Matt Sandusky’s allegations contradict testimony he gave to the grand jury whose charges put his father on trial. Matt Sandusky did not reveal any abuse when he was initially questioned as a grand jury witness but did release a statement alleging past abuse as the jury was sequestered in deliberations last week. The police interview tapes are the first time Matt Sandusky’s allegations of sexual abuse have been publicly aired, and too much time has passed for criminal charges. Asked why he was now coming forward on abuse purported to have occurred as early as the late 1980s, Matt Sandusky told police there were several rea-

The affidavit requirement was modeled after government entities that provide health care coverage to same-sex domestic partners, which Luzerne County does not. A citizen has filed an ethics complaint arguing the code is discriminatory because it doesn’t recognize or require affidavits for heterosexual domestic partners. Bobeck said council should omit the affidavit requirement

WA OKs budget with tax increase

By GERI GIBBONS Times Leader Correspondent

EXETER – Wyoming Area School District property owners will pay more in real estate taxes in the coming school year. The $29.6 million budget for 2012-2013 that the school board adopted Tuesday night includes a 3.5 percent increase in property taxes for residents of the district residing in Luzerne County and a 7.87 percent increase for those residing in Wyoming County. “A property owner with property valued at $117,000 in Luzerne County will see an annual increase of $53; a property owner with property valued at $16,243 in Wyoming County will see an

annual increase of $91,” district Business Consultant Tom Malone said. The millage rate in Luzerne County will be 13.5408, while in Wyoming County, it will be 77.378. A mill is $1 in tax for each $1,000 in assessed value. Board President Frank Casarella said more than $800,000 in cuts had been made since the budget was originally drafted. He said the board was “doing its part” in regard to making necessary changes. Resident George Race said the district had the opportunity to reduce professional staff and close district buildings but had declined. Race said he believes the

district will have to readdress these options in the near future. In another matter, Superindent Ray Bernardi said the Spanish Language Academy recently held at the school, concluding on June 22, had been a great success. He also said a recent scholarship award ceremony honored 75 students. Bernardi also addressed the issue of cyber charter schools, which he called “a drain on district funds,” and said the district was considering starting a cyber school within the district that would be cost-effective. The board will not meet in July and will announce the date of the August meeting.

Unmade call costs DA’s office $1,292 Call to judge could have made trip by lawyer worthwhile, DA’s office says.

By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A phone call not placed to a Luzerne County judge to settle a dispute cost the District Attorney’s Office $1,292. The amount ordered Tuesday by Judge Joseph Sklarosky Jr. to be paid to Attorney Charles Rado is significantly less than what was requested. Rado and attorneys Peter Paul Olszewski Jr. and Melissa A. Scartelli sought $2,886 from the District Attorney’s Office to compensate Rado, who traveled to a juvenile detention facility in western Pennsylvania for a scheduled psychiatric evaluation of their client, Co-

dy Lee, on Thursday. Lee was 16 years old when state police at Wyoming alleged he carried out a plan to kill his great-grandfather, Herbert Lee, 80, inside their home on Cody Lee Meeker Outlet Road in Lake Township on Dec. 9, 2009. He is facing a criminal homicide charge in adult court, but has not had a preliminary hearing. Lee’s attorneys are attempting to have the case transferred to Luzerne County Juvenile Court. Sklarosky Jr. permitted prosecutors to have Lee undergo a second psychiatric evaluation after a report by psychiatrist Dr. John O’Brien, who conducted Lee’s first evaluation, was stricken from the re-

cord. Prosecutors hired psychiatrist Dr. Bruce A. Wright to conduct the second evaluation of Lee at the juvenile detention center in Latrobe. When Rado placed a tape recorder on a table, Wright stated he did not have authority to permit the audio recording. Lee’s attorneys said Wright left the room and returned, saying only “goodbye” without giving an explanation. During Tuesday’s hearing, Scartelli sought reimbursement to compensate Rado’s fees, hotel expenses and travel to the juvenile detention center for the evaluation that was abruptly canceled. “This doctor who didn’t want to be audio taped, you have to wonder why?” Scartelli asked. “Is the doctor afraid of the truthful dialogue? We’re asking to preclude another attempt to trample on

Grants for river towns

State Rep. Karen Boback is encouraging local communities situated along the Susquehanna River to apply for mini-grants to fund small projects that would improve the quality of the communities and the river itself. Boback, R-Harveys Lake, said the Susquehanna Greenway will be implementing the mini-grant program. These types of grants help local Boback communities fund projects that can include improving trail connections with the river, riverfront parks, river access and infrastructure projects that help protect the water quality of the Susquehanna, Boback said. A total of $60,000 in grants will be awarded to the projects that have the greatest benefit and overlap between partner interests. Individual awards will be limited to a maximum of $5,000 for “planning grants” and $10,000 for “implementation grants.” All municipalities, municipal agencies and nonprofit agencies that are located within a river community along the Susquehanna in Wyoming, Columbia and Luzerne counties are eligible.

Sewer smoke tests set

The Newport Township Sewer Authority will conduct smoke testing of the sanitary sewer lines during July, August and September. Residents will be notified of test dates by flyers posted on the main doors of their properties before testing. The testing is used to identify rain gutters and drains illegally connected to the sewer system. If such a connection is found the property owner will be given a period of time to disconnect and seal the connection. To report smoke entering a building or for other questions, contact the authority at 735-0423 weekdays between 8 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.

Instead, Melnick said, Rado surprised Wright by placing an audio recorder on the table. “This is a surprise move at the 11th hour,” Melnick said. Scartelli fired back, saying it was the District Attorney’s Office that surprised defense lawyers by requesting the second psychiatric evaluation. Sklarosky Jr. permitted the second psychiatric evaluation of Lee to be audio recorded and ordered the District Attorney’s Office to reimburse Rado. “I have no tolerance for any more issues related to this examination,” the judge said.

Plains Township police officer Daniel Lewis escorts David Davis Jr. from District Judge Diana Malast’s office on Tuesday.

Cell photo leads to arrest By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

PLAINS TWP. – Township police arrested David Davis Jr. on charges he sent an explicit picture, via text, to the cellphone of a 12-year-old girl. Davis, 19, of Wyoming Street, Plains Township, was arrested in the area of Pine and Spring streets, Wilkes-Barre, at about 1:30 p.m. Tuesday. Davis was arraigned by District Judge Diana Malast on charges of corruption of minors and dissemination of sexual materials to a minor. He was jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $50,000 bail.

“I’ve never been through this before,” Davis said during his arraignment. According to the criminal complaint: Police on June 12 learned that a sexually explicit picture was sent to a 12-year-old girl’s cellphone. The girl told police she would hang out with friends at a playground on Wyoming Street, where she met “Davey,” identified as Davis, who lives near the park. She said Davis became friendly with other people hanging out at the playground and exchanged cellphone numbers. Police said the girl got a new phone number she did not give

to Davis. Davis obtained the new number and resumed sending the girl text messages that turned sexual in nature, the complaint says. The girl said Davis asked several times to send her sexual pictures. She allegedly received an explicit picture from Davis on her cellphone, according to the complaint. Police extracted a sexually explicit picture on the girl’s phone. Police alleged in the complaint that the picture was sent from Davis’ cellphone on June 11. A preliminary hearing is scheduled on July 3 before Malast.

U.S. Sen. Bob Casey on Tuesday announced that Congress has passed a bipartisan bill to keep the Food and Drug Administration fully functioning and, among other things, ban dangerous drugs such as bath salts. Every five years, Congress must pass legislation to keep the FDA fully functioning. The bill, the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act, is expected to be signed into law, said Casey, D-Scranton, who authored several provisions included in it. In addition to banning bath salts, Casey’s provisions should reduce drug shortages, make it easier for innovative medical devices to come to market, aid researchers as they seek to develop new antibiotics, increase federal oversight of prescription drug abuse, and encourage development of new treatments for rare/neglected diseases that disproportionately affect children. “This legislation will protect the health of Pennsylvanians and help our thriving medical sector create jobs,” Casey said. “One of the most important issues tackled in this bill is the shortage of lifesaving drugs. My drug shortage provision will work to prevent shortages before they start and ensure that Pennsylvanians can have access to the treatments they need.” Senator Casey continued, “I am relieved that my effort to permanently ban bath salts and other

synthetic drugs will finally be signed into law. Local law enforcement in Pennsylvania will now have new tools to protect our communities, which have faced horrible crimes and acts of violence as a result of these drugs.” Casey has been calling for a ban on bath salts since March 2011. Bath salts are synthetic stimulants that contain various amphetaminelike chemicals. Being under their influence is similar to the effects of cocaine. Bath salts began to be recognized as quickly emerging drug problem in U.S. by the end of 2010. Problems began emerging with bath salts users in Luzerne by February. Among the local highprofile cases, a man high on them broke into a Scranton Monastery and attacked a priest in March 2011, and a West Pittston couple hallucinating from bath salts nearly cut their 5-yearold daughter with the knives they were using to stab the 90 people they thought were “living in the walls” of their apartment.

Sanitary Authority chooses new HR director at $75,000 salary By MATT HUGHES mhughes@timesleader.com

HANOVER TWP. – The Wyoming Valley Sanitary Authority appointed a new director of human resources during a special meeting of its governing board Tuesday. Willard Oliphant, a retired Pennsylvania State Police captain from Kingston, will take over as the department’s head at a salary of $75,000 per year. Board Chairman Joseph Oprendick,

Pittston, said Oliphant, who was head of the state police’s Internal Affairs Division at the time of his retirement, was the most qualified of the three finalists for the position. The board did not reveal the identities of the other two finalists, claiming an exception under state rightto-know laws for employment applications. Oliphant was appointed by an 11-2 vote. Board members David Mayers, Wilkes-Barre, and Jeff McLaughlin, For-

ty Fort, cast dissenting votes. Mayers said he didn’t think Oliphant had the right educational background for the job. “He didn’t have a human resources degree, and I wouldn’t have hired him,” Mayers said. Oprendick and board member James Hankey, Edwardsville, responded that Oliphant has 29 years of experience with the state police, 22 of those in a supervisory position. McLaughlin explained his vote of no

by saying he felt there may have been candidates whose qualifications made them better suited for the job. A story in The Times Leader’s archive indicates Oliphant was involved in a lawsuit related to his conduct with the state police. In 2008, a federal jury awarded more than $500,000 in damages to a state trooper who claimed Oliphant, his supervisor, illegally recorded a 2003 phone See HIRED, Page 7A

COURT BRIEFS WILKES-BARRE – Luzerne County Judge Lisa Gelb scheduled a hearing on July 11 for LAG Towing to explain why it is unable to produce documents of towing services under a contract with Wilkes-Barre city. Gelb advised Leo Glodzik, owner of LAG Towing, to be prepared to have his accountant testify at the hearing. Gelb had set Monday as the deadline for LAG Towing to surrender documents related to towing services under its contact with Wilkes-Barre. The Citizens’ Voice newspaper sought the documents from Wilkes-Barre and LAG through a right to know request. City Councilman Tony George also requested documents from the city’s towing contractor for review in response to residents’ complaints that they were being overcharged for towing fees. As part of his contract with the city, Glodzik is required to submit reports and receipts to the city for review. The city awarded LAG Towing a contract for towing services in 2004. In court papers filed early Tuesday, LAG Towing claimed its business documents do not fall under the state’s Right to Know Law and are not considered “public records.” Glodzik stated in court records that documents related to towing services were destroyed to protect customers’ personal information, including phone numbers, home addresses, vehicle identification numbers and credit card accounts. Glodzik stated the records were destroyed after monthly consultations with city Police Chief Gerard Dessoye, according to court records. Gelb late Tuesday afternoon scheduled the hearing wanting to know when and how frequently LAG towing documents were destroyed. WILKES-BARRE – A man accused by city police of sexually assaulting a girl pleaded guilty in Luzerne County Court on Tuesday. Jermaine Crosby, 29, of East Main Street, Plains Township, pleaded guilty to statutory sexual assault before Judge Lisa Gelb. Gelb said Crosby will be sentenced Aug. 15. City police alleged Crosby sexually assaulted a 14-yearold girl while she slept in a house on Wyoming Street on Jan. 9, according to the criminal complaint.

Citing health issues in April, U.S. Rep. Tom Marino requested and was granted a 90-day extension to file his personal financial interest statement. Marino, R-Lycoming Township, made the request “so that he could deal with his health issues and gather the documentation required,” according to Bill Tighe, his chief of staff. Marino underwent surgery in April to remove small tumors from his kidney. His report is now due on Aug. 13 and Tighe said it was not complete, so he could not provide a copy. Marino will face businessman Phillip Scollo, a Democrat from Dingman Township, Pike County, in the November general election. Scollo’s report shows he earned $155,019 in 2011 in consulting fees. He also listed a loan he received in 2010 of between $15,000 and $50,000. The first name of the person he received the loan from is John, but the last name is illegible. Messages left with the campaign were not returned Tuesday. He also listed non-real estate assets totaling at least $32,000 and potentially up to $130,000 in annuities and an IRA. The report listed no mortgages.

WILKES-BARRE -- A greenthumb icon, Claire Sawyers is coming to Wilkes University today for the Grayson Arboretum ribbon cutting. Sawyers has been director of the Scott Arboretum at Swarthmore College since 1990 and an international gardener. Patty Gilmour, wife of outgoing university President Tim Gilmour, invited Sawyers after seeking out her gardening expertise about two years ago. “I called her up and told her, ‘We’re the little arboretum that can,’ ” said Gilmour. Growing up on a dairy farm in Missouri was just the introduction of what Sawyers would eventually build her life around. “When I was growing up, my grandparents entrusted me with planting seeds. That exposure pointed me in the direction of agriculture,” Sawyers said. She carried that direction with her to college and abroad. She has a degree in ornamental horticulture from Purdue University and studied public horticulture administration from the Longwood Graduate Program at

Now a staff member at one of “America’s Most Beautiful College Campuses,” according to Forbes 2011, she says she is thrilled to see what Wilkes has done with its environment. “They’re really pushing the envelope,” Sawyers said. “If we can help other colleges become something similar, that’s the highest honor.” The Grayson Arboretum, named after Gilmours’ daughter, will display more than 450 types of plant life and an information

mortgage from Wells Fargo taken out on his St. Clair home for between $10,000 and $15,000 in1998. He listed no rental properties, vacation homes or other real estate with an outstanding mortgage or line of credit and no credit card debt. Cartwright, who as a challenger was required to file his statement in March, earned more than $352,000 last year in salary from his family’s law firm, Munley, Munley & Cartwright. That’s more than double the $174,000 salary of the congressional seat he’s trying to win. He also received $506 in royalty payments for a book he co-authored in 2011 called “Litigating Business and Commercial Tort Cases.” In addition to earning dividends and interest from many investments, two Vanguard funds netted him more than $5,000 last year. On his liabilities list, Cartwright notes outstanding balances on two credit cards, each between $15,001 and $50,000. He also lists a line of credit through Penn Security Bank valued between $500,001 and $1 million that was taken out in December and a mortgage through the same bank taken out in 2005 to purchase an office. That loan was for between $100,001 and $250,000.

While the landscape may make downtown Wilkes-Barre aesthetically pleasing, its development can have deeper effects. “I think there’s better research that explains our response to greenery,” Sawyers mentioned. William Sullivan, a researcher and professor of landscape architecture at the University of Illinois, and colleagues did a study in Chicago that looked at two years of crime statistics in relation to specific neighborhoods. The results found crime rates were highest for residences with little or no proximity to nature. Identical units with views of grass and trees were associated with significantly less crime. Sawyers said the greenery also facilitates learning and increased interaction.

Turkey to Syria: Avoid our borders

B R I E F

Armed response threatened by Turkey By ELIZABETH A. KENNEDY Associated Press

AP PHOTO

He’s deep in work

The mud-covered legs of Sameer Saleh, 25, who works in a traditional brick factory, are seen in Sanaa, Yemen, Tuesday. Clay bricks made from water, straw and mud are popular in the country, in which affordable quality construction materials are scarce.

BEIRUT — Turkey warned Syria on Tuesday to keep its forces away from the countries’ troubled border or risk an armed response — a furious reply to the downing of a Turkish military plane last week by the Damascus regime. NATO backed up Turkey and condemned Syria for shooting down the plane but stopped short of threatening military action, reflecting its reluctance to get involved in a conflict that could ignite a broader war. Near the capital of Damascus, meanwhile, Syria’s elite Republican Guard

forces battled rebels in some of the most intense fighting involving the special forces since the uprising against President Bashar Assad’s regime began in March 2011, according to activists. More than 14,000 people have been killed in the last 15 months. Despite global outrage over the crackdown by the Assad regime, the international response has been focused entirely on diplomacy and sanctions, not intervention, as the violence escalates. In a speech to parliament, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Syria shot down the unarmed reconnaissance plane in international air-

space without warning in a “deliberate” and “hostile” act. “Any military element that approaches the Turkish border from Syria and poses a security risk and danger will be regarded as a threat and treated as a military target,” Erdogan said. He said border violations in the region were not uncommon and Syrian helicopters had violated Turkish airspace five times recently without a Turkish response. The two countries share a 566-mile frontier. Turkey’s limited response to Friday’s incident suggested there was no appe-

tite for a violent retaliation. Still, Erdogan cautioned Syria against testing his resolve. “No one should be deceived by our cool-headed stance,” he added. “Our acting with common sense should not be perceived as a weakness.” Syrian officials insist the plane violated its airspace, saying a Syrian officer shot it down with anti-aircraft fire after spotting an unidentified jet flying at high speed and low altitude. Turkey disputes that. Turkey says although the RF-4E jet had unintentionally strayed into Syrian airspace, it was inside international airspace when it was brought down over the Mediterranean. Its two pilots are still missing.

Edwards, mistress break up

Rielle Hunter announced Tuesday on ABC’s “Good Morning America” that she and former presidential candidate John Edwards broke up just days ago. “We are a family, but as of the end of last week, John Edwards and I are no longer a couple,” Hunter said. Hunter has been in the spotlight due to her memoir, which details her affair with Edwards while his wife, Elizabeth, was losing her battle to cancer. The tryst led to Hunter’s daughter, Frances Quinn, and criminal allegations that Edwards used donor money to hide the pregnant Hunter during his 2008 Democratic presidential bid. A jury acquitted Edwards of one charge and deadlocked on five others. WASHINGTON

Dems may back contempt

Now that the politically potent National Rifle Association is keeping score, some Democrats may join House Republicans if there’s a vote to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress in a dispute over documents related to a botched guntracking operation. Rep. Steny Hoyer, D-Maryland, said some in his party would heed the NRA’s call for a “yes” vote. The NRA injected itself into the stalemate over Justice Department documents demanded by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. The NRA said it supports the contempt resolution and will keep a record of how members vote. An NRA letter to House members contended that the Obama administration “actively sought information” from Operation Fast and Furious to support its program to require dealers to report multiple rifle sales.

PM offers aid at collapse

Canada’s prime minister has offered military help with the rescue effort at a partially collapsed mall in Ontario where at least one person has died and another may still be alive beneath the rubble, officials said Tuesday. Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s spokesman Andrew MacDougall said in an e-mail the federal government is still trying to decide how best to help. “We’ve offered all of our assets,” MacDougall said. MacDougall said Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty called Harper Monday to inquire about military help. Officials plan to dismantle the building from the outside in order to resume rescue efforts stalled over fears the unstable structure could further collapse, leaving rescuers trapped. Rescuers detected breathing inside the rubble early Monday, but authorities enraged local residents when they called off the work later that day.

ST. GEORGE ISLAND, Fla. — Debby, the guest that wouldn’t leave, is wrecking things for a lot of other visitors. Vacationers were wearing ponchos instead of swimsuits at the peak of the summer season because of the tropical storm, which has drenched Florida for at least four days straight like a big shower head set up off the state’s Gulf Coast. Debby has dumped as much as 26 inches of rain in some spots. Disney World wasn’t as crowded as usual, and some of its theme parks closed early Monday because of the soggy, windy weather. Along the Florida Panhandle, where Debby has sat offshore nearly motionless for days, the parking lot at the 100-room Buccaneer Inn was empty because

of a power outage ahead of the usually big pre-July Fourth weekend. “We’ve had bad luck on this island,” said the inn’s vice president, JoAnn Shiver. “We’ve had Dennis. We’ve had Katrina. We had the oil spill.” In a state where the biggest attractions are the sand and the sun, Debby forced many to make other plans. Douglas and Carolyn Green of Nashville, Tenn., were supposed to spend a week on St. George Island with three generations of family, but arrived

to find the electricity was out and the bridge closed to nonresidents for fear of looters. They spent Monday night in nearby Apalachicola, and then all nine relatives headed to Fort Walton Beach. “We never saw the island,” said Douglas Green. “We’re moving on. Plan B, I guess you’d call it.” Debby was expected to blow ashore by this morning in the Big Bend area — the crook of Florida’s elbow — then cross the state and head into the Atlantic.

Several areas in northern Florida have received more than 10 inches, and forecasters said southeastern Georgia could expect the same. Wakulla, an area in northwestern Florida known for camping and canoeing, has gotten more than 26 inches in three days. A woman was killed in a tornado spun off from the storm, and a man disappeared in the rough surf over the weekend in Alabama. In addition to knocking out power to about 35,000 customers, Debby has caused mostly scattered flooding, but forecasters warned it could get worse. “Even though the winds are coming down, the rain threat continues,” said James Franklin at the National Hurricane Center. “We expect another 4 to 8 inches, in some of these areas up in north Florida, in particular.” President Barack Obama called Florida Gov. Rick Scott and promised the state will have “no unmet needs” as it deals with the flooding, White House spokesman Jay Carney said.

Court ruling offers inmates rare chance at freedom By ED WHITE Associated Press

DETROIT — The Supreme Court ruling that banned states from imposing mandatory life sentences on juveniles offers an unexpected chance at freedom to more than 2,000 inmates who have never been able to seek release and had virtually no hope that their prospects would change. In more than two dozen states, lawyers can now ask for new sentences. And judges will have discretion to look be-

yond the crime at other factors such as a prisoner’s age at the time of the offense, the person’s background and perhaps evidence that an inmate has changed while incarcerated. “The sentence may still be the same,” said Lawrence Wojcik, a Chicago lawyer who co-chairs the juvenile justice committee of the American Bar Association. “But even a sentence with a chance for parole gives hope.” Virtually all of the sentences in question are for murder.

The ruling also alarmed families of crime victims. Jessica Cooper, prosecutor in Oakland County, Mich., said her office has been taking calls from “distressed” victims’ relatives. “Now they’re going to start all over,” Cooper said. “It’s going to take years.” In Monday’s 5-4 decision, the high court said life without parole for juveniles violates the Constitution’s ban against cruel and unusual punishment. More than 2,000 people are in U.S. prisons under such a sentence.

ATLANTA — Would you go to a drugstore for an AIDS test? Health officials want to know, and they’ve set up a pilot program to find out. The $1.2 million project will offer free rapid HIV tests at pharmacies and in-store clinics in 24 cities and rural communities, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Tuesday. Officials are hoping testing for the AIDS virus will become a routine service at drugstores like blood pressure checks and flu shots. “By bringing HIV testing into pharmacies, we believe we can reach more people by making testing more accessible and reduce the stigma associated with HIV,” CDC’s Dr. Kevin Fenton said in a statement. He oversees the agency’s HIV prevention programs. The tests are already available at seven places, and the CDC will soon pick 17 more locations. The HIV test is a swab inside the mouth and takes about 20 minutes for a preliminary result. The test maker says it’s correct 99 percent of the time. If the test is positive, customers will be referred to a local health department or other health-care providers for a lab blood test to confirm the results, counseling and treatment. When the project ends next summer, CDC officials will analyze what worked well and what didn’t, said Paul Weidle, the epidemiologist who is heading up the project. An estimated 1.1 million Americans are infected with HIV, but as many as 20 percent of them don’t know they carry the virus, according to the CDC. It can take a decade or more for an infection to cause symptoms and illness. Since 2006, the CDC has recommended that all Americans ages 13 to 64 get tested at least once, not just those considered at highest risk: gay men and intravenous drug users. But fewer than half of adults younger than 65 have been tested, according to the agency’s most recent statistics. It’s important to know about infection not only for treating the condition but also to take steps to prevent spreading it to others. An HIV diagnosis used to be a death sentence, but medications now allow those infected to live longer and healthier lives.

benefits as the spouses of employees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about our personal beliefs so much as do we see equity with all our employees. Are we fair to all our employees?â&#x20AC;? she said. Maddon Curry said is referring to benefits for long-term, â&#x20AC;&#x153;committedâ&#x20AC;? domestic partners, not â&#x20AC;&#x153;frivolousâ&#x20AC;? relationships. The administrative code currently defines domestic partners as two same-gendered adults in a committed, exclusive, lifetime relationship who share at least one residence and the common necessities of life. They must be financially interdependent for at least a year and responsible for each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s welfare, the code said. Allegheny County recently extended health benefits to same-sex partners of employees. Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Harrisburg also provide the benefit. Pennsylvania government started offering health care coverage to the unmarried partners of state workers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; both samesex and heterosexual -- in 2009. Council will discuss the topic at the July 10 work session. Bobeck asked county Solicitor David Schwager to provide a legal opinion on the affidavit requirement, definition of domestic partners and health care issues by the meeting. Council also agreed to discuss Councilman Rick Wil-

conversation during which Oliphant ordered the trooper, then off on workersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; compensation, to return to work. The trooper, Mario J. Diana, claimed Oliphant and Altavilla, the former commander of Troop P in Wyoming, made the recording in attempt to entrap Diana or to create the impression he was not hurt to discourage him from continuing his compensation claim. The case was overturned last year by the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, which ruled Oliphant and co-defendant Carmen Altavilla were entitled to qualified immunity. Qualified immunity protects government employees if they can show they had a reasonable belief that their actions were lawful and were not made with the intent to violate a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s constitutional rights. They were not charged with violating federal wiretap laws. In other business, Kevin Lescavage of West Pittston was sworn in as a new member of the board to replace Gary Delserra, West Pittston, who died last month. The board also voted unanimously to award the following payments: â&#x20AC;˘ A contract to Polydyne to supply polymer at $1.05 per pound. â&#x20AC;˘ A donation of $5,000 to Hanover Township for public safety and service.

By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

Luzerne Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Accountability, Conduct and Ethics Commission voted Tuesday to dismiss the first ethics complaint filed under the new home rule government. The complaint alleged County Council should have complied with the personnel code hiring process in the still-pending selection of a new council clerk, according to sources familiar with

about the complaint. Commission member Walter Griffith, the county controller, said the commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s investigation â&#x20AC;&#x153;clearlyâ&#x20AC;? determined â&#x20AC;&#x153;issues that were violatedâ&#x20AC;? in the home rule charter and personnel code, but the timing prevented the commission from acting. The action challenged in the complaint occurred before the new ethics code took effect May 24, and the ethics code isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t retroactive, he said. Some audience members pointed out that ongoing action after the codeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effective date

clerk for six months, and the interim clerkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s employment expires Friday. The commission discussed Tuesday the possibility of publicly releasing findings on future complaints if it determines the ethics code has been violated, warranting penalties. Commission Solicitor Brian Bufalino said the commission may release information, without identifying participants, if a complaint advances to a full investigation and the commission determines a violation has occurred. The commission supported

statements. The commission plans to adopt a new complaint form that will meet this mandate without notarization. Griffithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal to allow anonymous complaints did not receive support from other commission members. County Manager Robert Lawton, a commission member, said the controller may accept and investigate anonymous complaints on his own. The controller could then file an ethics complaint if he believes a matter heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s investigated rises to the level of a violation, Lawton said.

Pittston Area hikes property taxes 2.4 percent

By JON Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;CONNELL Times Leader Correspondent

YATESVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; After one month to work out the variables, Pittston Area School Board members Tuesday night passed a $42.1 million budget for 2012-2013 that includes a 2.4 percent property tax increase. Also, Superintendent George Cosgrove submitted his letter of resignation to the board Tuesday night. The board fixed the property tax rate at 13.4246 mills, or $13.43 for every $1,000 of a propertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assessed value. The real estate tax increased by about 2.4 percent from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rate, according to the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Business Manager Albert Melone, which equates an average of about $30 per household. According to the budget, the year is to end next June with a $773,339 balance in the

bank. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fine for â&#x20AC;&#x2122;12-â&#x20AC;&#x2122;13,â&#x20AC;? Melone said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but we need to forward-think.â&#x20AC;? He said that, to be safe for the next year, precautionary measures must be taken. Board President Anthony Guariglia commended the rest of the board and Melone for their work on the budget. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started this out $1.8 million in the hole. We have come in without losing a program,â&#x20AC;? Guariglia said, comparing Pittston Area to other districts who have not been so fortunate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No one was furloughed â&#x20AC;Ś no buildings were closed.â&#x20AC;? Board member Robert Linskey echoed Meloneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concern about the future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of those draconian measures might become our reality if we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start tightening our belts,â&#x20AC;? Linskey said. The board voted regretfully to accept Cosgroveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resignation.

Cosgrove, as he usually did at board meetings, sat respectfully silent during the meeting. The superintendent said later he was in his 40th year of work with the district. He started as a teacher and never left. He said it was time to retire. His retirement arrives a year and a half before his contract is to expire and the board members struggled to find a suitable route to fill his vacancy. To find, as all board members agreed, a superintendent as dedicated and fair as Cosgrove, the board debated on advertisement wording in hopes of attracting high-caliber applicants. Cosgrove is to leave his post in October. The district is to advertise for the next 10 days to fill the vacancy, with the applications deadline to be July 27.

talk to prosecutors. Matt Sandusky said he was undergoing therapy and his memories of abuse were only now surfacing. He said on the tapes he tried to flee Sanduskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house and also attempted suicide. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know that I really wanted to die at that point in time,â&#x20AC;? he said. On the recording, Matt Sandusky says he was sexually abused off and on between ages 8 and 15. While being questioned, he said Jerry Sandusky would blow raspberries on his stomach and touch his genitals. Eight accusers who testified at trial, and Matt Sandusky, said they met Sandusky through The Second Mile charity Jerry Sandusky founded for at-risk youth. Asked whether he recalled engaging in oral sex or being raped by the former Penn State coach, he told police â&#x20AC;&#x153;at this point I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recall that.â&#x20AC;? Unless he recovers memory of rape or deviate sexual intercourse, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appear Jerry Sandusky could still be charged in connection with the allegations by his son.

COUNCIL

liamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suggestion to set workforce mandates for the administration, including switching all employees to a 40-hour work week and standardizing the number of vacation and sick days. County Manager Robert Lawton said a directive will be helpful as the administration negotiates union contracts and formulates policies. Options for tax collection will be discussed at the Aug. 28 council meeting, the group agreed. The new home rule charter is silent on tax collectors, leaving council with the option to stop using them to collect county taxes. Under the prior government system, a state legislation change was necessary to eliminate tax collectors in either municipalities that werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t home rule or cities. The countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 69 elected collectors receive $3.50 per county tax bill, including uncollected bills that must be processed as owed. The county will spend about $400,000 on tax collectors this year, according to the budget. Council may decide to collect county taxes in-house or through a private company. Keeping tax collectors at the same pay or a lower pay also are possibilities. A decision must be made before tax collectors file nominating petitions for the 2013 election. Lawton said the administration will present the pros and cons of options to council on Aug. 28. Tax collectors also will be invited to weigh in, Bobeck said.

June 26, 2012

ohn Frances Twardzik went peacefully to be with the Lord the afternoon of Saturday, June 23, 2012, at his home in Mountain Top. He was able to enjoy the comfort of his own home for so long because of the loving, dedicated care he received from his daughter, Nancy Gallagher, his son-in-law, Joe Gallagher, and their children, Katie and Brady. John was a kind and generous man known affectionately at “Mr. T.” John was born on October 30, 1917, to Frank M. and Mary Bennick Twardzik in Shenandoah. John married Helen Marie Zanecosky, also of Shenandoah, in February 1949, shortly after which he moved to Mountain Top to begin raising a family. Helen passed away July1981. John is survived by his brother Theodore F. (Ted) Twardzik and wife, Jean, of Sarasota, Fla., and children, John (Twig) of Tampa, Fla.; Rick of Huntsville, Ala.; Nancy Gallagher (spouse of Joe Gallagher) of Mountain Top; Tom (spouse Claudia) of Memphis, Tenn. He is the loving Dziadzi of Julie Twardzik of Greenville, S.C.; Katie Gallagher of Mountain Top; Richard Twardzik of Memphis, Tenn.; and Brady Gallagher of Mountain Top. John was preceded in death by his siblings Francis Twardzik Gish (Long Beach, Calif.), Walter F. Twardzik (Bloomsburg), Louis F. Twardzik (East Lansing, Mich.) and Eleanor Twardzik Zale (Shenandoah). John was a 1933 graduate of J. W. Cooper High School in Shenandoah, and completed his studies at McCann’s Business College in 1935. John was a saxophonist and multi-talented musician, performing throughout the area with his band known as Tweed, the Eddie Karpee Orchestra, and the Polish Warsaw Band at such Schuylkill County venues as the Lakewood Ballroom and the Maher’s Hall. His pre-war career began with the Government Building and Loan Association. Military service during the Second World War utilized his business skills where he served in the U.S. Army as a warrant officer. Later, he overcame his fear of heights by entering the U.S. Army Air Corps and was stationed in New Guinea flying a C-47 transport plane to destinations from Sidney to Tokyo. He was honorably discharged as a First Lieutenant. Upon his return stateside, John worked for Preferred Finance Service Inc., where he was advertised as “O.K. Twardzik” for his accom-

modating nature when approving loans. John returned to serving his country by working with the Veterans Administration assisting returning soldiers in attaining the dream of home ownership. Following a subsequent position with the Army Corps of Engineers in East Stroudsburg, John retired from the Federal Government in 1977 after over 30 years of loyal service. Through the years, John faithfully attended and was active in St. Jude’s Parish and St. Catherine’s Catholic Church, both located in Mountain Top. He was a past president of American Legion D’Amato Post 792 in Shenandoah, and a member of the Brotherly Paternal Order of Elks Lodge 945, the AMVETS, and the Knights of Columbus. John was particularly proud of his youngest brother, Ted Twardzik of Shenandoah, the founder of Ateeco Inc., the manufacturer of Mrs. T’s Pierogies. John served on the Board of Directors as well as represented Mrs. T’s at food shows throughout the U.S. with his daughter Nancy. He also appeared in numerous local parades driving the Mrs. T’s Model A with the car’s rumble seat occupied by a beautiful young lady, a dignitary or even Santa. The family would like to express their special gratitude to the kind caregivers who helped make John’s recent days healthful, comfortable and pleasant: Florence, Grace, Judy, Pat, Sandy and Susan. Family and friends are invited to pay their respects the evening of Thursday from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at the McCune Funeral Home, 80 S. Mountain Blvd. in Mountain Top. A Memorial Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10 a.m. Friday at St. Jude’s Church, 420 S. Mountain Blvd., Mountain Top. Interment will follow in Calvary Cemetery, Drums. McCune Funeral Service Inc. is handling the arrangements.

onato Carl Telesca, 84, of Old Forge, died Tuesday morning, June 26, 2012. He was preceded in death by his wife of 44 years, Mary Pearl Magnani Telesca, in 2004. Born in Dunmore, son of the late Canio and Mary Greco Telesca, he graduated from Old Forge High School and attended Penn State Worthington and the University of Scranton, where he studied business and engineering. Donato began his long career in the plastics industry as an “office boy” at Consolidated Molded Products and worked his way up to sales engineer. He then worked for a number of other plastics firms including Auburn Plastics and Southern Tier Plastics. When Consolidated Molded Products closed, Donato and Pearl, along with their partners, Ned and Marlene Evans, seized the opportunity. They bought equipment at auction and in 1982 founded Northeastern Plastics, where Don served as president until his passing. Don was a member and former president of the Society of Plastics Engineers. With owning a business, Don often commented that he was the president of Northeastern Plastics from Monday through Friday and the janitor on Saturday. Any phone call to the plant on a Saturday would be answered with the sound of jazz blaring in the background. While the plastics industry was Donato’s vocation, his avocation was music. Don, a bass player, was a proud member of the musicians’ unions in both Scranton and WilkesBarre. He played with the Gene Dempsey Orchestra among others. Don and Pearl met when he was playing with a big band at Fred’s in Old Forge. Don’s stand-up bass was an integral part of his life. He often told his daughters that it helped pay for their educations. His bass was also part of the décor in the Telesca home, prominently displayed in the living room. Don was a longstanding member of Glen Oak Country Club where he enjoyed his friendships as much as golf. A man of strong convictions, Don frequently aired his opinions in letters to the editor that were printed in local newspapers. Family and friends will remember Don for his humor, his April Fool’s Day pranks, his love of fine food, wine, the performing arts, and for his generosity. He will also be re-

OTHER OPINION: BORDER POLICY

Get off the fence on immigration

HE U.S. Supreme Court ruled Monday on the Arizona immigration law, and life as we know it continued. Both sides claimed victory in what amounts to a ruling that changes parts of the controversial law but leaves the nation no closer to an effective strategy to address immigration. While the high court ruling primarily centered on the role of the federal government versus the states’ responsibilities, the justices left the law open to further court challenges and legal interpretation. So the heat over immigration reform rages on. Opponents of the Arizona law say the bill promotes racial profiling. The statute’s supporters EDITORIAL BOARD

argue it gives local and state police powers they need to help enforce federal immigration laws, since the federal government has failed to control the flow of illegal immigrants. Both sides have a point, but there should be no doubt that it is Washington’s responsibility to come up with a clear yet comprehensive set of immigration laws and policies. No state should have to take on a role that clearly falls within the federal government’s purview. The Supreme Court did its job and provided some clarity on the Arizona law, but the need for a federal response remains apparent. Orlando Sentinel

MALLARD FILLMORE

Did Supreme Court decision arrive as fervor wanes? THE SUPREME Court’s immigration decision is a step back from the brink, leaving much less room than many people expected for state immigration enforcement. Although the justices blocked most provisions of Arizona’s controversial 2010 policing law, they upheld the one of most concern to immigrant rights advocates: the section that requires local police to inquire about the immigration status of people they stop for other reasons and whom they suspect are in the country illegally. Even this part of the opinion is more tenuous than many expected, leaving open the possibility of future reconsideration by the court. But pessimists are still anticipating the worst – that the ruling will open the way to a host of other states itching to follow in Arizona’s footsteps and pass similar punitive policing laws. Their fears could be exaggerated. What’s coming might not be as drastic as many expect. Even before the Supreme Court’s decision, there were signs that voters’ antiimmigration fervor might be ebbing. The first clue came in this year’s state legislative sessions. Almost exactly a year ago, an earlier Supreme Court ruling, Whiting v. U.S. Chamber of Commerce, established that states can act to prevent and punish the hiring of unauthorized immigrants, requiring employers to enroll in E-Verify, the online federal program that checks employees’ immigration status. At the time, onethird of states had such requirements.

Taxpayer group files charges

The Wilkes-Barre City Taxpayers’ Association takes action over closed meeting. By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – The Wilkes-Barre City Taxpayers’ Association has filed a criminal complaint against the City Parking Authority, City Council, Mayor Tom Leighton, their legal representatives and paid consultants over a closed-door meeting that the association says violated the state Sunshine Act. The closed session was held Monday and The Times Leader was denied access. Melissa Melewsky, media law counsel for the Pennsylvania Newspaper Publishers’ Association in Harrisburg, said the meeting should have been open to the public.

Frank Sorick, president of the taxpayers’ group, filed the complaint at District Judge Rick Cronauer’s office Tuesday morning. He said the organization is also pursuing a civil action regarding the closed meeting. Parking Authority Solicitor Murray Ufberg hosted the meeting on the 10th floor of his law firm, Rosenn Jenkins and Greenwald. Ufberg cited the section of the state Sunshine Act that deals with executive sessions in which the media and public can be excluded. Rogers quoted Section 708 – Executive Sessions, subsection No. 3: “To consider the purchase or lease of real property.” Ufberg said it did not matter if the city and the authority were the lessees or the lessors, that the exclusion applied. But Melewsky said Ufberg had “completely misinterpreted” that section of the law.

BILLS Continued from Page 1A

ing garages, lots and meters to a private firm. The bills for charges up to April12 were paid on April 26. Tom Torbik, the authority’s executive director, said Wohlstetter later submitted bills totaling $19,622.53 for work done before April 12 that were not included in his previous bill. “It’s a mistake on my part,” Wohlstetter said. “The charges were late in hitting our system. We’re trying to do it as lean and mean as we can.” On Tuesday, board member Ed Kotarsky movedtopayallbillsexceptWohlstetter’sbackdated charges and the board approved the action.

“This type of action has gotten other agencies in trouble before,” Melewsky said Tuesday. “It’s certainly a Sunshine Act compliance issue.” Sorick said complaints will be filed against the two attorneys – Ufberg and Alan Wohlstetter, the representative of Fox Rothschild of Philadelphia who was retained by the authority to assist in the leasing process. “They should have known better,” Sorick said. “They should have known the law.” Ufberg declined to comment about the complaint, but he reported to the authority board Tuesday his firm researched the Sunshine Law and he is confident it interpreted its intent properly. “We don’t feel (Monday’s) meeting was held outside the Sunshine Act,” Ufberg said. Drew McLaughlin, the city’s administrative coordinator, said an executive session to discuss

Torbik said Wohlstetter’s firm was owed for charges from April 13 to 26, at which time the board placed a $10,000 cap on any future consulting fees. Murphy’s company was owed $5,900 for work done between April 13 and 26, Torbik said. Wohlstetter’s fee is $400 per hour, which he hassaidisadiscountedratefromhisusualfeeof $500. Murphy’s hourly fee is $300 per hour, which he said is below his usual rate of $400. Wohlstetter and Murphy attended at least two meetings since the $10,000 cap was instituted on April 26, but it was unclear if they were paid to do so. Authority members emphasized that neither consultant was being paid beyond the $10,000 cap. Wohlstetter declined to comment after the meeting. He referred media inquiries to city Administrative Coordinator Drew McLaughlin.

the sale or lease of real property is specifically noted as an exemption in the Sunshine Act. “The city attorney’s office concurs with the opinion of the parking authority’s solicitor concerning the right of the Parking Authority to hold an executive session and to invite those who have an interest in the topic to attend,” McLaughlin said. He said including Leighton and any individuals who were invited to attend the Parking Authority’s executive session in this complaint “is frivolous.” “They are not a governmental entity with the power to convene a public meeting under the provisions of the Sunshine Act,” McLaughlin said. McLaughlin said council members were invited to attend an executive session of the Parking Authority. “City Council did not meet in executive session,” he said.

Kotarsky said the authority has paid nearly $150,000 in consulting fees, which includes payments to Goals Consulting of at least $34,460 plus $316.78 in expenses for parking and tolls. Fox Rothschild and Wohlstetter have contributed between $5,000 and $6,000 to Leighton’s political campaigns since 2010.

with the animated creatures is “amazing.” “It’s like working with your own pet dragon; it’s like having your own creature there with you. It’s like having a dog or cat, except he’s 10 times the size and flies,” Miner said after posing for photos with Monstrous Nightmare, Toothless and co-star Gemma Nguyen, who also is excited about working with the animatronics. “Probably my favorite part is flying onboard Nadder. … It’s like my ‘Wow!’ moment,” Nguyen said. Nguyen plays Astrid. Striking, energetic and tough, she embodies the Viking way. Hiccup is smitten with her, and as he begins to show the strain of leading a double life, Astrid is the first to become suspicious. The young actress is also a third-degree black belt, six-time martial arts world champion and accomplished stuntwoman, which serves her well when doing back flips across the stage and riding an animatronics beast. She alternates shows with Sarah McCreanor, an actress skilled in dance, circus and acrobatics. The live show was created by DreamWorks Animation, producers of the Academy Awardnominated film “How to Train Your Dragon,” which grossed about $500 million worldwide, and Global Creatures – the masterminds behind “Walking With

Dinosaurs,” the number one grossing world tour of 2010. Eric Stevens, head of Live Entertainment at DreamWorks Animation, said producers decided to have two actors and two actresses play the lead roles because they are so physically demanding. Stevens said an emotional storyline that’s “full of heart” combines the talent of the actors with complex animatronics that enable the dragons to show a range of emotions in their faces for one remarkable show. Because the Mohegan Sun Arena isn’t as large as some of the other venues across North Amer-

ica where the show will be playing, Stevens said the audience here will be able to better see the details and enjoy a much more “intimate” experience. “If you play in the big, big major city arenas, sometimes there’s three levels (of seating). The fact that this is a little tighter actually brings the energy up even more, so I think it’s going to play really well and I think people are going to have a great time,” he said. Cast and crew have been at Mohegan Sun Arena for about a month, rehearsing for the launch of the North American tour. Stevens said the arena was chosen as the rehearsal site and ven-

ue for the show’s North American premier because of the accommodating staff, good references from other performers who have rehearsed there, the proximity to New York vendors for any lastminute equipment needs and because Wilkes-Barre/Scranton is “a good live-entertainment market.” “There’s never, ever been anything like this done before; it’s on a scale that has never ever been attempted. These aren’t just little suit puppets that you might see at a nice show,” Director Nigel Jamieson said with Toothless moving around behind him on the arena floor.

Doing that ‘voodoo’ that they do so well I F YO U G O

WILKES-BARRE – As dragons snarl, spit fire and lunge at their foes, Gavin Sainsbury and his crew sit a couple hundred feet away making all that magic happen. With their fingers pressing keys on synthesizer keyboards and their hands gripping and manipulating contraptions that resemble robots’ arms in a high-tech lab, the puppeteers bring to life some of the 23 gigantic stars of “How to Train Your Dragon Live Spectacular” – opening tonight at Mohegan Sun Arena. “This device is called a voodoo rig – voodoo, as in the doll that you stick a pin in,” Sainsbury said, pointing to the arm-like device that he uses to control major body movements – head, neck, body, tail – of some of the animatronics dragons in the show. The head puppeteer, Sainsbury said there are four or five puppeteers controlling any dragon onstage at any time from a secluded section of the concourse. “We’re voodoo puppeteers and this loca-

Seated next to Sainsbury, Daniel Flood works a synthesizer keyboard used to control

the sounds the dragons make, including grunts, growls, sneezes, shrieks and … ahem … flatulence. Also working on his crew are Amanda Maddock, Ulysses Jones and Michael Latini. And after the Australia/New Zealand tour, he’s looking forward to the North American tour launching this evening and anticipates a big impact for the audience here. “The magic about this arena is that with the layout of it and the slope of it, you’re pretty close. And the dragons are so enormous, we kind of say to people there’s not really a bad seat in the house,” Sainsbury said.

PITTSTON TWP. — Joe Cencetti pitched a no-hitter through six innings and Mike Nocito delivered a two-run triple in the seventh as Pittston Township edged Hanover 2-0 Tuesday in a District 16 9-10 baseball game.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Scranton/Wilkes-Barre got off to a hot start in the first game of its fourgame series against Gwinnett, winning 3-1 on Tuesday at Frontier Field in Rochester. It was a scoreless game until the bottom of the fourth inning when Corban Joseph doubled out to center field but then advanced to third after a passed ball by Braves catcher Jose Yopez allowed him to advance to third. Ronnier YANKEES Mustelier then grounded out, but the hit allowed Joseph to BRAVES run home and make it a 1-0 game for the Yankees (4237). The Braves (37-43) evened the score at the top of the sixth when Joe Costanza singled to get to first base. After a sacrifice bunt by Luis Durango, Constanza advanced to second, and then came home after a Felix Pie single to right, knotting the game at 1-1. The Yankees took over again in the eighth inning after Ramiro Pena hit a single to get to first, then advanced to second after a Chris Dickerson walk, and then to third after Joseph walked. Pena and Dickerson both scored after a Russell Branyan single off Braves pitcher Dusty Hughes, bringing the game to its final score of 3-1. The Yankees and Braves will take the field for game two today at 7:05 p.m. at Froniter Field in Rochester, N.Y. as right-hander Ramon Ortiz (6-3, 2.98) gets the start for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre

Olympic trials turn into a whole pool of redemption

Serena Williams survives unexpected battle to get past first round. By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer

WIMBLEDON, England — On one point Tuesday at Wimbledon, Serena Williams dumped a forehand into the net and dropped to a knee, her jaw clenched as she let out a shriek. On another, she pushed a backhand into the net while her feet gave way, yet again leaving her awkwardly splayed on the grass at Court 2, the same place where her sister Venus lost a

Hole-in-one helps Dobyns boost lead in PGA Professional The Associated Press

SEASIDE, Calif. — Matt Dobyns had a hole-in-one and shot a 3-under 69 on Tuesday to take a six-stroke lead into the final round of the PGA Professional National Championship. The 34-year-old Dobyns, the

PGA head professional at Fresh Meadow Country Club in Lake Success, N.Y., had an11-under 205 total. He aced the 195-yard 14th hole and closed with an eagle on the par-5 18th on the Bayonet course. The former University of Texas

player opened with a 68 at Black Horse on Sunday, and took a three-stroke lead Monday with a 68 at Bayonet. First-round leader Mike Small, the University of Illinois coach who won the event in 2005, ‘09 and ‘10, was second after a 72.

Pacers GM Morway resigns, Bird may be next out of nest Indianapolis Star reports recent Executive of Year will soon leave Indiana. The Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS — David Morway resigned Tuesday as general manager of the Indiana Pacers amid reports that Larry Bird is on the way out, too. Morway was hired by the Pacers in 1999 and had been GM since 2008. The Indianapolis Star reported Tuesday (http:// goo.gl/uqp0u ) that Bird is expected to leave the Pacers, citing an unidentified person with direct knowledge of the situation. The Pacers and owner Herb Simon declined comment. “I think change is great. I really do. New ideas, new creativity, new vision and new energy — I think all of that is important for a

franchise,” Morway said. “However Mr. Simon decides to do this, I think is going to be good for the franchise. I’m sure he’ll make a good decision because he’s a terrific owner.” The 55-year-old Bird was Pacers coach from 1997-2000, taking the team to its only NBA Finals appearance that last year, before returning to the front office in 2003. He took full control of basketball decisions after the 200708 season, when Donnie Walsh left to become the New York Knicks’ president. This year, Bird was the NBA Executive of the Year after building a tough, young team that lost to eventual champion Miami in six games. He is the only person in league history to win that award, the MVP award and Coach of the Year. The former Indiana State star won three MVP awards and

three NBA titles during his Hall years building the team into an of Fame career with Boston. Eastern Conference contender Bird has spent the last four and said a month ago that he was

willing to stay. He indicated then that he had not yet met with Simon to discuss his future. His status with the team had been the subject of speculation for months. He had stayed with the Pacers on a season-by-season basis, discussing whether to return with Simon each offseason. Morway’s departure comes literally on the eve of the NBA draft, where Indiana was scheduled to pick No. 26 overall on Thursday night. “I’m happy,” he said. “This is something I spent several months talking to my wife and my kids and Mr. Simon about and Larry. We had a lot of success this year, but at the same time, there was a lot of personal sacrifice that came with it the past few years.” The Pacers, well under the salary cap, are expected to be a significant player in free agency.

DONETSK, Ukraine — For Spain it’s more about stopping one man, while for Portugal it will be about containing a whole team when the two meet in Wednesday’s European Championship semifinal. While Cristiano Ronaldo holds the keys to Portugal’s chances of taking a step closer to a first major trophy, Spain’s charge toward an unprecedented third straight tournament title is anchored in selfless teamwork. Spain simply does not need a Ronaldo, Portugal desperately does. After a difficult start to the tournament, Ronaldo has stepped up when it matters, scoring three goals in the last two games to move Portugal within touching distance of its first final since Euro 2004, where it lost on home soil to outsider Greece. This time, Portugal will be very much the outsider at the Donbass Arena in Donetsk. “We have to be ourselves and not change the way we play just because we’re going to face the reigning World and European champion,” Portugal defender Joao Pereira said. “We’re going to play our own game.” That is more than France did in last Saturday’s quarterfinal, when it tried to stifle Spain at the expense of its own ambition, and meekly lost 2-0. Meek is not a word often associated with Ronaldo, whose 86 league goals in the past two seasons with Real Madrid make him the only player who comes close to rivaling Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi. Although Portugal has another skillful player in winger Nani, the team is under no illusions how to play: with fast breaks and by getting the ball up to Ronaldo as quickly as possible. “Our weapons are not a secret,” midfielder Custodio said. “Will this be Portugal’s year? I hope so.” Portugal beat Spain 4-0 in a friendly match in November, 2010 — Spain’s heaviest defeat since winning the World Cup. But only victory on Saturday will heal the wounds from Portugal’s ill-tempered 1-0 loss to Spain in the second round of the World Cup two years ago — in which Spain shackled Ronaldo. Spain will be confident of doing so again, with four of Ronaldo’s teammates likely to be playing — goalkeeper Iker Casillas, Sergio Ramos, Xabi Alonso, and Alvaro Arbeloa. The three Madrid players for Portugal are Ronaldo, Pepe and Fabio Coentrao. “I’ve spoken to (Portugal’s Madrid players) and the three of them look very good,” Alonso said. “They’ve carried over their club form into the tournament.” Throw in Spain’s five Barcelona players — Andres Iniesta, Xavi Hernandez, Gerard Pique, Sergio Busquets and Cesc Fabregas — and the match has all the elements of being a miniClasico. Whether Pepe can keep his sometimes dangerous tackling under control may prove crucial to Portugal’s chances. The Spanish have dominated possession in every match, but have yet to provide the sparkling play many observers expected. Some are saying Spain’s suffocating ball-retention and relentless closing down has made it a boring team to watch.

Bringing a new sense to ‘Airball’

Michigan State headed for another Air Force-themed season opener. The Associated Press

EAST LANSING, Mich. — After opening last season on an aircraft carrier, Michigan State’s men’s basketball team is ready to head overseas for a game on a U.S. Air Force base in Germany. Michigan State and Connecticut are planning the unique matchup, which is set for Nov. 9 at Ramstein Air Base, pending final approval by the Defense Department. The Spartans announced the event Tuesday. “Being a part in the first college basketball game to be played on a military base overseas is truly an honor,” Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said. “Everyone associated with the Michigan State basketball program is excited for this unique opportunity.” Creative events like this are nothing new for Michigan State, which has played hockey games in football stadiums and last November’s basketball game against North Carolina aboard the USS Carl Vinson in the San Diego area. President Barack Obama attended that game, which drew ESPN’s highest-ever rating for a college basketball game played in November. “Once again, we are excited about participating in an event that pays tribute and respect to the men and women that serve in our nation’s armed forces,” Michigan State athletic director Mark Hollis said. “It is our responsibility to give reflection and support to these men and women that currently serve and have served in the past.” Hollis says the game at Ramstein would take place before an audience of 2,500 to 3,000 enlisted men and women, and ESPN is collaborating to stage the event. “We applaud ESPN for their commitment to programming aimed at providing our veterans with the respect they deserve,” Hollis said. “We look forward to sharing America’s pride with those stationed at Ramstein in November.”

round at the All England Club wasn’t exactly perfect or pretty. “Definitely a little relief,” the sixth-seeded Williams said. “I was letting out a lot of cries. I was happy to get through that.” Yes, Williams got the job done, something she couldn’t say the last time she was at a major championship. Last month at the French Open, the 30-year-old American tossed away a big lead — nine times, she was two points from victory — and lost to a woman ranked 111th, the only first-round exit of Williams’ career in 48 Grand Slam tournaments. “I learned that you got to ... keep going,” Williams said about that stunning defeat. “I was really disappointed. Obviously, I was extremely disappointed. But as Kelly Clarkson says, ‘What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.”’ In part because of a series of health scares that sidelined her for about 10 months, Williams has gone two years since the most recent of her 13 major titles, including four at Wimbledon. And even though she bowed out quickly in Paris, Williams is a popular pick to do well this fortnight. “For me, when I’m playing a match,” Williams said, “I either win it or lose it.” She’ll want to play better than she did against Zahlavova Strycova, who is 0-21 against top-10 opponents, 13-27 in Grand Slam matches, and never has made it past the third round at any major.

‘Flying Squirrel’ is ready to soar Gabby Douglas has emerged as main threat to world champion and U.S. teammate Jordyn Wieber.

By NANCY ARMOUR AP National Writer

When Gabby Douglas flashes that dazzling smile and saunters across the arena floor as if she owns the place, the concept seems downright impossible. This bubbly 16-year-old was once ... shy? “I used to be sooo shy,” she said with a giggle. “Now I’m like, ‘Lah, lah, lah. Lah, lah, lah. ... I’m just ready to go out there and perform. I’m so ready to take on this journey.” It’s going to be quite a trip. Not only has Douglas emerged as world champion Jordyn Wieber’s main rival, finishing a mere 0.2 points behind at the U.S. gymnastics championships two weeks ago, she could be the brightest star on a powerful U.S. team that could turn the London Olympics into its own heavy medal show. With cover girl looks, a personality that leaps through the TV set and a nickname you won’t soon forget, Douglas has all the makings of the next Mary Lou or Shawn. The U.S. team will be picked Sunday, following the Olympic trials in San Jose, Calif. Barring an injury, Douglas is considered a lock for London along with Wieber and Aly Raisman. In addition to the team competition and all-around, Douglas has medal potential on uneven bars, where her release moves are so big and effortless that national team coordinator Martha Karolyi has heralded foes Tuesday, when action was cut short in the evening because of rain. Two-time Wimbledon champion Rafael Nadal, for instance, trailed 4-0 against 80th-ranked Thomas Bellucci of Brazil before turning it around and winning 7-6 (0), 6-2, 6-3. “Fantastic for me,” Nadal said, “but I have to improve a lot for the next round.” Defending women’s champion Petra Kvitova fell behind 3-0 and 4-1 but eventually used a sevengame run to take control and beat 96th-ranked Akgul Amanmuradova 6-4, 6-4. The match was halted by a 30-minute rain delay in the second set; when they returned, Kvitova needed all of three minutes to wrap things up. “In the beginning,” Kvitova acknowledged, “I think I was nervous.” Twelve singles matches were suspended in progress and four were postponed altogether. Among those that began but didn’t finish, 2003 U.S. Open champion and three-time Wimbledon runner-up Andy Roddick led British wild-card entry Jamie Baker by a set and a break; French Open finalist Sara Errani was a point from beating U.S. qualifier CoCo Vandeweghe; and 21stseeded Milos Raonic of Canada was a game from eliminating Santiago Giraldo of Colombia, leading by two sets and 5-4 in the third. Winners included 10th-seeded Mardy Fish of the United States, playing his first match since having a medical procedure on his heart a month ago. The 30-yearold Fish hit 24 aces and defeated Ruben Ramirez-Hidalgo of Spain 7-6 (3), 7-5, 7-6 (1), then didn’t attend a postmatch news conference.

out Hansen for an individual spot on the team shortly after being diagnosed with testicular cancer. He put off treatment until after the games and has been healthy ever since. Hansen wasn’t the only swimmer to use the second night of the trials as redemption for Olympic disappointment. Dana Vollmer, a gold medalist as a teenager in 2004, missed out on the team four years ago while battling injuries and health problems. It’s all good now. She got off to a blistering start and soared through the water to easily win the 100 butterfly. “I’m so relieved,” Vollmer said. “It was such an exciting race. I’m really overwhelmed right now.” And, oh yeah, there was another memorable race between Ryan Lochte and Michael Phelps, but there’s a bigger showdown to come. One night after Lochte beat Phelps in the 400 individual medley, Lochte edged him out again in the semifinals of the 200 freestyle. That’s just a tuneup for Wednesday night’s final, which figures to be another classic between the world’s two greatest swimmers. “Oh, that was the semifinals. It doesn’t really matter,” Lochte said. “It doesn’t matter until the finals. We’re great racers, we just want to win. We definitely kicked it in gear the last 50, me and him. We know tomorrow night is going to be a lot faster.” Said Phelps: “It’s going to be

a tough race.” Lochte also has a strong morning swim in the 100 backstroke during the preliminaries, posting the second-fastest time behind Matt Grevers. But the laid-back Floridian doesn’t want anything to take away from his next race with Phelps, so he dropped out of the back before the semifinals. “That actually felt pretty good,” Lochte said. “I know I have a lot left, so we’ll see what happens.” He said it was his choice to scratch the 100 back. “I just want to get ready,” Lochte said. “I don’t want to have to worry about swimming” an extra race. The 30-year-old Hansen rallied over the final lap for a time of 59.68 seconds, giving him a chance to make up for the disappointment of the past two Olympics. He was one of the world’s top breaststrokers leading up to the past two games, but has yet to win an individual gold. He took silver and bronze in the two breaststroke races at

Athens, and was shut out of an individual medal in Beijing. Shanteau was fourth at the turn, but he turned on the speed heading for the wall and got second in 1 minute, 0.15 seconds. “I’ve been back and forth with that event for so long,” said Shanteau, whose stronger race is the 200 breast. “It’s nice having it all come together when it counts the most. I’m a 200 guy, so sometimes I don’t know what I’m doing in the 100.” Vollmer was more than a halfsecond under the world-record pace at the turn, but she faded on the return lap. Not to worry. She had built such a commanding lead that she was a full body length ahead when she touched in 56.50. Claire Donahue claimed the second spot for London in 57.57. Natalie Coughlin missed on her first attempt to make her third Olympic team, fading to seventh in the eight-woman race (58.66). Vollmer won a relay gold at the 2004 Athens Games.

views,” said Virginia Tech President Charles Steger, who headed the BCS presidential oversight committee. “I think it would be a serious mistake to assume it was a rubber stamp.” Nebraska Chancellor Harvey Perlman was the most notable holdout. He had said he preferred the status quo or a tweak of the Bowl Championship Series. Perlman said the playoff still wouldn’t be his first choice, but he was not going to stand in the way of progress. “This is the package that was put forth and we will strongly support it,” he said. Instead of simply matching the nation’s No. 1 and No. 2 teams in a title game after the regular season, the way the BCS has done since 1998, the new format will create a pair of national semifinals. Many college football fans have been clamoring for a playoff for years, and the BCS has been a constant target for criticism. Lawmakers have railed against it. A political action committee was formed, dedicated to its destruction. The Justice Department looked into whether it broke antitrust laws. Even President Obama said he wanted a playoff. Now it’s a reality. No. 1 will play No. 4, and No. 2 will play No. 3 on Dec. 31 and/or Jan. 1. The sites of those games will rotate among the four current BCS bowls — Rose, Orange, Fiesta and Sugar — and two more to be determined. One of the new sites will likely be wherever the newly formed bowl created by the SEC and Big 12 is played, Slive said. The Cotton Bowl, played at the $1.1 billion Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, has long wanted to be part of the BCS and is expected to make a strong push to be in the semifinal rotation. The winners of the semis will advance to the championship on the first Monday in January that is six or more days after the last semifinal. The first “Championship Monday,” as it was called in the BCS release, is set for Jan. 12, 2015. The site of the title game will move around the way the Super Bowl does, with cities bidding for the right to host. The teams will be selected by a committee, similar to the way the NCAA basketball tournament field is set. The men’s tournament has 68 teams, and 37 atlarge bids. The football committee will have a much tougher task, trying to whittle the field down to four. This season,125 schools will play at the highest level of college football. Among the factors the committee will consider are won-loss record, strength of schedule, headto-head results and whether a team is a conference champion. The selection committee will also play a part in creating matchups for the games at the four sites that do not hold a semifinal in a given year. “I think it’s tremendous progress,” said Washington State coach Mike Leach, a playoff proponent. “Five years ago there wasn’t even dialogue about a playoff. Instead of diving in the water, they dipped their toes in. I think it’s going to be ridiculously exciting and it’s going to generate a bunch of money. I wish they dived in.” The BCS had given automatic qualifying status to six conferences, the SEC, Big Ten, Big 12, Atlantic Coast Conference, Pac-12 and Big East. That allowed those leagues better access to the big, high-payout games than the other five conferences, such as the Mountain West and Conference USA. Automatically qualified status is gone and the commissioners believe the new system will create more interesting games beyond the ones that determine the national title. “What the system now is, several semifinals, championship game and some access bowls. By creating a couple of access bowls, people will be able to play highquality opponents in big venues with big brands,” Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany said. The commissioners want to lock in this format for 12 years with a television partner.

The Red Sox then loaded the bases on a double, a hit batter and a walk before Dustin Pedroia drove in two with a single up the middle. The rally spoiled a strong performance by Aaron Laffey in his first start in nearly two years. Royals 8, Rays 2

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Bruce Chen went seven innings in another workmanlike start, Jeff Francoeur and Yuniesky Betancourt both went deep and the Kansas City Royals beat the Tampa Bay Rays 8-2 on Tuesday night.

Betancourt hit a two-run shot during a four-run third inning against Chris Archer (0-2), and Francoeur added a three-run homer during a fourrun eighth to give Kansas City some breathing room. Alex Gordon and Billy Butler also drove in runs to pace a Royals offense that was outscored by St. Louis 30-14 over the weekend, but has trumped Tampa Bay 16-2 so far this series. The Royals will go for the sweep on Wednesday afternoon. Angels 7, Orioles 3

BALTIMORE — Albert Pujols homered in his Camden Yards debut, C.J. Wilson allowed one run in seven innings, and the Los Angeles Angels had a season-high 17 hits in a 7-3 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday night. Peter Bourjos, Mark Trumbo and John Hester also connected for the Angels, who have won 12 of 16 overall and 12 of their last 13 road games. The four home runs were a season high. White Sox 3, Twins 2

MINNEAPOLIS — Gavin Floyd finally solved the Minnesota Twins with nine strikeouts in seven shutout innings and Alex Rios homered to help the Chicago White Sox to a 3-2 victory on Tuesday night. Rangers 7, Tigers 5

ARLINGTON, Texas — Yu Darvish struck out 10 in seven innings to win his seventh consecutive start at Rangers Ballpark, a 7-5 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday night.

New contract isn’t really such a Brees Saints star QB certain deal will get done, though, as talks were slowed by bounty probe.

RACHEL COHEN AP Sports Writer

NEW YORK — New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees is confident that he and the Saints will agree on a long-term contract. With the start of training camp about a month off, the two sides still have “a ways to go” to close the gap, the 2010 Super Bowl MVP said Tuesday. Nonetheless, he said, “I’m confident, and always have been, that we’ll get a long-term deal accomplished.” Brees acknowledged that the NFL’s bounty investigation into the Saints has slowed down negotiations. “This has been a stressful offseason in a lot of ways. There’s been a lot of distractions for everybody,” he said. “I’m not using that as an excuse other than just stating it as fact. That has delayed things quite a bit at times.” And when it comes to that bounty probe, Brees is adamant that the league has not proved money ever changed hands in a pay-to-injure scheme. “How can everybody think that when there’s been no proof that’s been put forth thus far?” he said. “There’s been an investigation; there’s been a lot of stuff put in the media as to what was going on. But is there any proof to back that up? No, there’s not. Not yet.” Brees was in New York on Tuesday to discuss a program that provides free concussion testing for more than 3,300 middle and high schools and youth sports organizations. He was joined on a panel by retired New York Rangers goalie Mike Richter, former New York Giants linebacker Carl Banks and ex-U.S. women’s soccer team goalkeeper

TORONTO — Twelve-time All-Star Joe Sakic was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame on Tuesday in his first year of eligibility, joining Mats Sundin, Pavel Bure and Adam Oates as the newest class of inductees. The four former NHL stars were chosen by the Hall’s 18member selection committee. The induction ceremony will be held Nov. 12. Sakic had 625 goals and 1,016 assists in his 20-year NHL career, all with the Colorado Avalanche franchise dating to 1988 when it was the Quebec Nordiques. He won two Stanley Cups (1996, 2001), earning the Conn Smythe Tropy in 1996 and the Hart Tro-

phy in 2001. “As a kid I always dreamed about making the NHL, but never really thought at all about the Hockey Hall of Fame,” Sakic said in a statement released by the Hall of Fame. “I was fortunate to play 20 seasons, which gave me the opportunity to build on my list of accomplishments. Having great teammates and coaches was a key component of this.” Sundin, also selected in his first year of eligibility, had 564 goals and 785 assists in his 18 seasons — including 13 with the Toronto Maple Leafs. He spent four years with Sakic and the Nordiques before being traded to Toronto before the 1994-95 season, and holds Maple Leafs records for points (567), goals (420), 20-goal seasons (13), 30goal seasons (10), game-winning goals (79) and regular-season overtime goals (14). He also led Sweden to the gold medal at the

H A L L- B O U N D O A T E S N A M E D C A P S C O A C H WASHINGTON — Once again, a Washington Capitals leadership baton is passed from Dale Hunter to Adam Oates. More than a decade after Oates followed Hunter as captain, a similar transition happened Tuesday when Oates was hired as the Capitals coach. Oates, who will be formally in-

troduced at a news conference Wednesday, has spent the last three seasons as an NHL assistant, first with the Tampa Bay Lightning before moving to the New Jersey Devils in 2010. He was part of the staff that helped lead the Devils to this year’s Stanley Cup finals, which they lost to the Los Angeles Kings.

Turin Olympics in 2006. “Three years have passed since I retired and it makes me realize how privileged I was to play my entire career in Canada, where hockey really matters,” Sundin said. “Having my hobby and love for a sport become my livelihood really allowed me to live out my dream.” Oates, hired as coach of the Washington Capitals earlier in the day, is sixth on the NHL career assists list with 1,079 and also scored 341 goals in 19 seasons

with seven teams. “Obviously a fantastic day. I don’t know if that’s happened before,” Oates said of being picked for induction and hired as a coach on the same day. Bure, a six-time All-Star and Calder Trophy winner as the league’s rookie of the year with Vancouver in 1992, had 437 goals and 342 points in 12 seasons with the Canucks, Florida and the New York Rangers. He led the NHL in scoring in 1999-2000 and 2000-01 while with the Panthers.

Briana Scurry. Scurry’s career was ended by a concussion more than two years ago, and she still suffers symptoms such Brees as short-term memory loss, she said. Against that backdrop are the allegations that Saints defensive players intended to injure their opponents. But Brees described the NFL’s evidence so far as “hearsay” and “hypotheticals,” not the definitive proof needed. “If there is, then it needs to come forward,” he said. “If it is what they say it is, then punishments will be levied and deservedly so. But if there’s not, then we need to vindicate the guys that were obviously wrongly accused.” NFL spokesman Greg Aiello responded in an email to The Associated Press that “the evidence is overwhelming.” “The investigation was thorough and includes statements from multiple sources with firsthand knowledge about the details of the program, corroborating documentation and other evidence,” Aiello said. “The enforcement of the bounty rule is important to protect players that are put at risk by this kind of scheme. Certainly, Drew Brees would not want to be the target in a bounty scheme and that is why we must eliminate bounties from football.” Even if Brees signs a contract in time and doesn’t miss any of training camp, the Saints will be short-handed after the penalties handed out by the NFL in the bounty case. Coach Sean Payton and linebacker Jonathan Vilma have been suspended the entire season. Assistant Joe Vitt, the interim replacement for Payton, is banned for six games. Defensive end Will Smith is docked four.

Consumer confidence slips

The Conference Board, a private research group, said Tuesday that its Consumer Confidence Index fell modestly from 64.4 in May to 62 in June. But the four-month slide from 71.6 in February is significant and corresponds with a slowdown in hiring by U.S. companies over the same period. A reading of 90 indicates a healthy economy. The index hit an all-time low of 25.3 in February 2009. Worries about job and income growth weighed the heaviest on Americans in the index, which was based on a survey conducted from June 1 through June 14 of about 500 randomly selected people nationwide.

Cyberfraud crackdown

Dozens of people in New York City and around the globe were arrested Tuesday in an international sting targeting a black market for online financial fraud. The arrests were made after an FBI investigation of hackers who steal credit card, bank and other information on the Internet — a practice known as “carding.” According to a criminal complaint unsealed on Tuesday in federal court in Manhattan, the suspects bought and sold hacking programs and stolen information via secure websites.

Coke investing in India

ILKES-BARRE – A believer in the city long before Mayor Tom Leighton conceived his 2005 campaign slogan, hotel owner Gus Genetti on Tuesday emotionally recounted the effort to save and restore the F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts as he accepted the “I Believe” plaque at the annual Greater WilkesBarre Chamber of Commerce awards luncheon. Representing the Kirby Center and its early supporters, Genetti recalled a knock on his door nearly three decades ago. He opened the door to find department store owner Al Boscov on his knees begging for support to restore

The Coca-Cola Co. and its bottlers plan to invest an additional $3 billion in India over the next eight years to boost the soda giant’s stake in the rapidly growing market. The world’s biggest beverage maker, whose brands include Minute Maid, Dasani and Powerade, is seeing some of its biggest gains come from emerging markets as growth at home slows. In its first quarter, for example, CocaCola said its volume rose 20 percent in India, compared with a 2 percent increase in North America.

Cinram assets sold

Cinram International Inc., which makes pre-recorded media products at a plant in Olyphant, sought U.S. and Canadian bankruptcy protection after reaching a deal to sell its assets to private equity firm Najafi Cos. The former WEA Manufacturing was purchased by the Toronto-based Cinram in 2003. About 500 people work at the Olyphant plant, less than half its peak employment.

LOS ANGELES — Under pressure to limit contagion from the British phone-hacking scandal, Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. said Tuesday it is considering splitting into two publicly traded companies. The move comes as Britain’s communications regulator, Ofcom, enters the final stages of its review of whether satellite TV firm British Sky Broadcasting — in which News Corp. holds a 39 percent stake — is “fit and proper” to hold a broadcast license.

the former Paramount Theater. Genetti and dozens of other communityminded individuals and businesses responded and the 1986 opening laid the groundwork for the progress people see around Public Square today. “When the Kirby opened up they were the only lights on downtown … there wasn’t hardly anything else,” Genetti said. Now tens of thousands of people work downtown and thousands more visit each day to shop, eat, bike, walk or see the river. Businesses that have invested in their properties also were honored Tuesday with Pride of Place awards. Among them was honor for Restoration/Renovation/Remodeling, given to Riggs Asset Management.

The financial planning firm relocated into a former orthodontist office in the historic Citizens Bank Building and converted it into a modern suite. Using local materials and contractors and the interior design skills of a relative, the 3,276-square-foot space was converted into a chic and upscale office. Liz Graham, the company’s COO, said the firm wanted to remain downtown. “We wanted to find an office space we could really build something special with,” she said. “And do something special they did,” noted Donna Sedor, a chamber vice president who hosted the event. Lissa Bryan-Smith received the ATHENA award.

specify Tuesday which businesses each company would contain. The Wall Street Journal, News Corp.’s flagship newspaper, reported late Monday that the company is considering separating the newspaper and book publishing businesses from the entertainment arm, which includes Fox News Channel, its broadcast TV network and the 20th Century Fox movie studio. The split would allow 81-year-old Murdoch to keep control of his prized publishing operations through his voting shares while pleasing investors who have viewed the newspapers as a drag on shareholder value. 10-YR T-NOTE 1.63%

The residential mortgage foreclosure rate in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area exceeded the national rate for the second consecutive month in April, real estate analyst firm CoreLogic said Tuesday. The 3.58 percent foreclosure rate was up from 3.13 percent in April 2011 and was higher than the 3.41 percent national rate. In March, the local rate topped the national figure for the first time, at 3.47 percent compared to 3.41 percent. Another measure of financial distress also rose in April; the percentage of mortgages delinquent 90 days or more rose to 6.9 percent from an initially reported 6.46 percent in March and 6.41 percent a year earlier. Figures are revised monthly, said CoreLogic spokeswoman Lauren Salay. Initial figures are estimates based on the threemonth moving average trend. “The figures are revised when actual foreclosure data becomes available,” she said. The revision was bad news for the local area, which is composed of Luzerne, Lackawanna and Wyoming counties. The initial foreclosure rate of 3.47 percent for March was raised to 3.68 percent. The national rate changed only slightly to 3.4 percent. The first look at the 90-day delinquency rate also rose on revision, to 6.74 percent from 6.46 percent. While the foreclosure rate has risen steadily since January 2010, when it was 2.58 percent, the 90-day delinquency rate has stayed in a narrow range between 6.41 percent and 7.02 percent. According to a map provided by CoreLogic, about half the zip code areas in the region have a high rate of foreclosure, concentrated in the Wyoming and Lackawanna valleys, the Hazleton area and areas bordering the Poconos Mountain region.

Big-market home sale prices rise The Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller home price index released Tuesday showed price increases in April in 19 of the 20 cities tracked. That’s the second straight month that prices have risen in a majority of U.S. cities. A measure of national prices rose 1.3 percent in April from March, the first increase in seven months. In the past year, the 20-city index fell 1.9 percent. But that’s the smallest 12-month decline since November 2010. Prices are increasing as the housing market has slowly started to recover. Sales of new and previously occupied homes are up over the past year. San Francisco, Washington and Phoenix posted the biggest increases in April. Prices fell 3.6 percent in Detroit, the only city to record a drop.

One of the nicest summer days you could ever imagine is probably close to what it will be like here today. I’ll take most of the credit, but a cooling northwest wind is also to blame, helping to keep the air dry and allowing for plenty of sunshine. Cumulus clouds will again dot the sky and afternoon temperatures will rise to near normal. Thursday will be another rain-free day and a bit warmer than today. Then the heat is on for Friday. The weekend stilll looks quite hot and humid, with a storm possible each day. Tropical Storm Debby will not be a factor in our weather next week and our July 4 holiday is looking real nice. - Tom Clark

RHYTHM AND FOOD Marty’s Blue Room mixes Cajun cookery with style By MARY THERESE BIEBEL

Peppers, onions and fat-andflour roux came from French settlers who were driven out of Canada in the 1750s and didn’t stop heading south until they reached the ocean. While the Choctaw tribe knew how to turn dried sassafras leaves into a thickener called filé powder, people from Africa planted okra, which they called by a name that sounded like “gumbo.” Paella-loving Spaniards contrib-

uted the idea of adding fish to jambalaya stews, while sausage-loving Germans may have been the first to craft andouille. Put all those influences together and you have the makings of Cajun cookery that smells and tastes as if it simmered for hours in Louisiana’s bayou country, perhaps in a big, old, cast-iron cauldron. “The food is just like the music,” chef Jim Schonfeld said as he dredged a steak in spices at Mar-

ty’s Blue Room in Newport Township. “It started with the French settlers who had violins. Then the Germans brought their accordions, and the Africans brought their rhythms and the beat. Put it together and you get zydeco.” Cajun fare tends to be hearty, Schonfeld said, explaining it was designed to feed hard-working people who lived off the land – growing vegetables, fishSee MARTY’S, Page 3C

NEED A TRANSLATOR? Cajun: A style of cooking that developed in Louisiana’s bayou country. The name is derived from Acadia, an area in Canada from which French settlers were driven in the 1750s. Andouille: Coarsely ground pork sausage. Jambalaya: A stew of meat, fish, rice and vegetables. Gumbo: A strongly flavored soup whose name might derive from the Bantu word for okra or the Choctaw word for filé. Filé: A thickener made from sassafras leaves. Etouffée: Seafood over rice. It literally means “smothered” in French. Roux: A thickener made from equal parts flour and fat. Zydeco: Heavily syncopated dance music from Louisiana.

OUR REPORTER RECOMMENDS Jambalaya: Oh, me, oh, my, oh. For that “big-fun-in-the-bayou” feeling, try this signature dish. Steak: For anyone but strict vegetarians, the ‘tomahawk’ is a great choice, though personally, we recommend portions a bit smaller.

CAJUN SHRIMP & SCALLOPS Courtesy of Jim Schonfeld at Marty’s Blue Room: 12 large shrimp 12 large scallops 2 ounces green and red peppers 2 onions 1 pinch of red pepper flakes 10 ounces angel hair pasta, cooked Parmesan cheese Parsley 2 ounces olive oil 1 ⁄2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning Directions: In a hot saucepan, add olive oil, shrimp, scallops, peppers and onions. Sauté well. Add red-pepper flakes and Cajun seasoning. Stir well. Add cooked angel-hair pasta. Stir well. Top with Parmesan cheese and parsley.

Mustard: It just might save your life By MARY THERESE BIEBEL mbiebel@timesleader.com

In the cool comfort of a downtown Flagstaff restaurant earlier this month I sipped an appetizer of exquisitely chilled cantaloupe soup — and marveled at the contrast. Here we are, dining like royalty, I told my husband just before our friendly server arrived with savory entrees of ravioli and risotto, each brightened by fresh-from-the-farm, organic veggies. Just two days previously, we’d been hiking the final leg of a 9mile climb from the bottom of the Grand Canyon and making

do with very humble fare. Mustard on a tortilla, anyone? How about a nice piece of dried seaweed? Now it’s not as if our group of six hikers — husband, Mark, brothers-in-law Jay, Joe and Tim, 16-year-old nephew Dylan and yours truly — decided in advance that mustard was the best sandwich filling ever. We’d just brought along a little plastic jar of the spicy stuff to improve the simple, no-cook meals we’d planned. The only problem was our hike took longer than expected and — ahem — we depleted our Swiss cheese, our pouches of tu-

na and the canned ham with the little red devil on the label. Even the Spam. We were out of protein, though we did have a pile of tortillas left as well as half a jar of mustard. Holy miscalculation, Batman! Why hadn’t we packed more food? It was painful to remember the group’s pre-hike discussion of not wanting to carry more than we were sure we would eat. I cringed at the memory of storing about two dozen energy bars in a rental car back at the rim. We should have stuffed them

TO ME, THE STRAWBERRY is the “King of Berries.” There are many things you can do with these wonderful little pieces of fruit, but today I want to take you outside the box. Let’s roast them. Yep, that’s right. I want to add heat. By roasting them, the perfect berries can be reduced to an even sweeter treat. This week I am sending a recipe for a baby arugula and spinach salad with roasted strawberries. The flavor from the baby spinach will sparkle with the acidity of the whitewine vinegar, and the arugula will release just a hint of pepper. The fruitiness of the intensified strawberries will be a nice contrast to the salty cheese and crunchy glazed walnuts. Talk about a salad that can deliver the ultimate satisfaction.

3 ounces white wine vinegar 1 teaspoon salt black pepper, to taste 1 tablespoon sugar 2 ounces freshly squeezed orange juice 3 ounces extra virgin olive oil 1.5 cups baby arugula 3.5 cups baby spinach 1 cup glazed walnuts 5 ounces Pecorino Romano cheese, grated 1 cup roasted strawberries

ROASTED STRAWBERRIES 16 ounces hulled strawberries 2 ounces maple syrup 1 ounce extra virgin olive oil 1 ⁄2 teaspoon seat salt 1 ounce port wine A few drops white balsamic vinegar For the strawberries: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Use middle rack. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and cut each strawberry in half. If the berries are large you can cut them into quarters. Set berries aside. In a small mixing bowl combine the maple syrup, olive oil and salt. Pour this mixture over the reserved berries and gently toss to coat them. Arrange on baking sheet in a single layer. Place in oven and roast for 20-30 minutes, until berry juice has thickened slightly. Make sure you check during the roasting process so berries do not burn. Remove the pan from the oven and, while still warm, scrape the berries and juices from the pan into a mixing bowl. Stir in the port and balsamic vinegar. Use immediately or store in refrigerator for service For the salad: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the vinegar, orange juice, sugar, salt and pepper until sugar dissolves. Then slowly whisk in the olive oil until well blended. Taste and adjust the seasonings. In another bowl, combine the arugula and spinach. Whisk the dressing to recombine and drizzle over the greens and toss well. Place the dressed salad greens on serving plate, top with berries and garnish with walnuts and cheese. Serve immediately.

Holy miscalculation, Batman! Why hadn’t we packed more food? into our backpacks and taken them along. But you know what? A mustard sandwich is not half bad. It’s kind of like a pretzel dipped in your favorite condiment. Wash it down with a liter of water or so, and you can encourage yourself with the See MUSTARD, Page 3C

thought that you’re following the expert advice about not only drinking lots of water in the desert but consuming “salty snacks” to avoid heat exhaustion. Speaking of salty snacks, I’d also brought along a few ounces of dried seaweed — enough to share with the gang. “No one will want to eat that,” my husband told me in advance. “This just might keep us all alive,” I replied with my usual understated drama. I don’t know how much the kelp contributed to our survival, but I did bring it out every few miles, break pieces off and distribute them, feeling a little like a priest giving out communion on a battlefield. Not that anyone was really in danger of dying. Especially since a very nice woman and her equally generous little boy shared their snacks with us at a cottonwood-shaded rest stop halfway to the rim and actually thanked us for “lightening their load.” I offered her some seaweed in return; she declined. But, anyway, long live Clif Bars and kelp and the kindness of strangers. And remember that, in a pinch, mustard makes a great sandwich.

ing and hunting game. “A lot of times, they had one-pot meals,” he said. “You could take one duck, put it in a pot (with other ingredients) and stretch it to feed the whole family.” At Marty’s Blue Room on Old Newport Street, some of the larger steak entrees – in particular a cut of aged beef Schonfeld calls the “tomahawk” – do look as if each piece by itself could feed a family. “It’s a ribeye steak, attached to the rib bones,” he said, brandishing one of those big boys. “Take the rib bones away, and you have a regular Delmonico steak.” Estimating the hefty “tomahawk” weighed three pounds, Schonfeld said, “I had a guy come in here the other night. He said he traveled the world, and it was the best steak he ever had.” Indeed, a glance at the Marty’s Blue Room website reveals the customer reviews are filled with such adjectives as “fantastic,” “fabulous” and “marvelous.”

Schonfeld, who established the restaurant in 1984, used to travel to Louisiana as often as he could to attend hoedowns and shrimp boils and learn more about Cajun cuisine in the land of its birth. In recent years he hasn’t visited that often; he’s been too busy cooking up a storm of steaks and jambalaya, catfish and crawfish, as well as chicken, pasta, wings, barbecue and plenty of other dishes both “mild” and “wild.” “A lot of people think Cajun means fiery. But you can have a dish with or without the heat,” said Schonfeld, who buys a spice blend he designed himself, 500 pounds at a time, from a spice company. On a sweltering afternoon last week, the chef and a young assistant, Ricky Kinder, whipped up a Cajun steak, Cajun crawfish and a dish of chicken with pasta. The kitchen was hot and would get hotter before the day was out, Schonfeld predicted. Perhaps it would even reach a heat and humidity similar to the bayou. “Just wait until this oven is full of steaks,” he said.

Pot-smoking husband continues to live in haze of youthful memories Dear Abby: My husband, who is 53, talks often about his college days when he smoked marijuana. Over the past several years he has started smoking it again. I have told him I don’t approve, but he says he does it only occasionally “to take the edge off.” Many times he has smoked when we’re out on bike rides, on road trips or a Sunday drive. I tried compromising by asking him not to do it when we are together. He agreed, but he doesn’t keep his word. He does it thinking I don’t know what he’s up to. I noticed that he is becoming forgetful and is sometimes unable to understand information. Is this a midlife

DEAR ABBY ADVICE crisis? How do I get him to stop? — Mrs. Pothead in Winona, Minn. Dear Mrs. Pothead: It’s not a midlife crisis. I’m told that the grass that’s available today is stronger than when your hubby smoked it in college. Your husband may be becoming forgetful and unable to process information because he’s smoking pot A LOT, or because of a neurological problem. Because marijuana slows reaction time, he should not be driving while under the influence. Since you can’t convince him to stop, you could benefit from visiting a

support group for families and friends of individuals who are addicted to drugs, because it appears your husband has become addicted. Dear Abby: “Jerry,” my husband, has been sending pictures of himself to online dating sites, advertising for a personal relationship with the socalled “right woman.” I feel this is a betrayal of our vows and that it’s cheating. He claims he’s “just looking” at what’s out there. My concern is, why is he looking in the first place? I have seen these dating sites, and I feel hurt and betrayed. Am I wrong to feel this way, or should I believe what he says about harmless fun? — Broken-Hearted Libra, Louisville, Ky.

CRYPTOQUOTE

Dear Libra: You have every right to feel betrayed, hurt and cheated on because your husband’s words don’t match his actions. What he’s doing is not “harmless fun”; it is a danger to your marriage. Run, don’t walk, to a marriage counselor. If your husband won’t go with you, go alone because your marriage could depend upon it.

judgment, giving rise to further inappropriate questions. I would love a good, snappy comeback to those questions without stooping to their level of rudeness. I have tried, “Why would you ask me that?” and got even more questions. Any advice would be great. — Taken Aback in Indiana

Dear Abby: I was divorced 20 years ago and have two children from my marriage. My ex-husband was black and I am Caucasian. Over the years, when I’ve discussed my children or showed photos of them, people have asked me if they are “mixed,” if they have the same father and if I was married to their father. I presume that some folks assume interracial marriage indicates a lack of good

Dear Taken Aback: Rather than a snappy comeback, why not simply answer “yes” to all three of those questions and end the conversation?

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll have luck in group endeavors and highly structured arrangements. You’ll be able to apply what you learn almost immediately. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Being a trusted friend sometimes means you have to warn the one who is getting off track. You’ll do what’s right and necessary. It may be years before this is properly appreciated. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your role as the friendly one who brings people together will be highlighted. Avoid elitism in any form. In social arenas, break up the cliques by talking to outsiders. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Complex issues arise, and the easy answers won’t feel correct to you. Writing about what you believe and why is one way to steel your discipline. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have a busy day of giving ahead of you. When you tire of taking care of others, you’ll hardly have the energy to take care of yourself. That’s when sleep is the best thing you can do. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). An indirectly competitive atmosphere prevails around you, and you’ll notice people competing with one another by keeping score of their children’s successes or the successes of their friends, family, company or even their pets. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re through researching, wondering and asking questions. It’s time to make a firm decision. The ambivalence has to go if you’re to move forward quickly and with a smile on your face.

MINUTE MAZE JUMBLE BY MICHEAL ARGIRION & JEFF KNUREK

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

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Some of your most cherished beliefs are either unproved or can’t be proved. That you still hold them dear is a tribute to the quirkiness of your delightfully complex personality. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). We are designed to gather meaning from experience. Sometimes we perceive patterns of cause and effect where there are none. Give your mind a break. Stop searching for answers and just let it be. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your mood alternates. At times you’ll be an open book, accessible to all who care to investigate. Other times you’ll snap shut, guarding your mysteries inside. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You direct a certain longing to the heavens. Your need to reach upward is primal. It’s inside every infant reaching for mother; it’s in the limestone blocks of the pyramids and the jet fuel of rocket ships. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Complex problems can have simple solutions. But before you try to find one, first assess whether the problem is really yours to solve. You wouldn’t want a loved one to miss the chance to handle his or her own life. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 27). You’ll advance a variety of interests this year as you systematically work your way through books, workshops and classes on the subjects that interest you. Acquiring knowledge leads to new friendships, jobs and adventures. Your lucky numbers are: 45, 1, 24, 39 and 18.
