A witness in the frequently delayed Hugo Selenski doublehomicide trial has filed a lawsuit against the federal Bureau of Prisons claiming his concerns about being an informant and a snitch went ignored. Paul Raymond Weakley, 43, is seeking $2 million in his suit filed in U.S. District Court of Arizona earlier this year. He says he has been attacked and stabbed in

kowski, 38, and Tammy Lynn Fassett, 38, that is scheduled in September. Selenski’s trial has often been delayed since he was charged with criminal homicide, robbery and abuse of corpse in May 2006. Prosecutors allege Selenski tortured and strangled Kerkowski and Fassett in Kerkowski’s Hunlock Township house on May 3, 2002, and buried their bodies outside a Mount Olivet Road, Kingston Township, house

where he resided with his thengirlfriend, Christina Strom. Investigators say in court records that Selenski killed Kerkowski and Fassett for money he deposited into Strom’s bank account to cover the closing cost for the Mount Olivet Road property, which was purchased solely by Strom on April 30, 2002. Weakley led investigators to the bodies of Kerkowski and Fassett on June 5, 2003. While searching the property, investigators discovered the charred remains of Frank James, Adeiye Keiler and a person who has not

Leighton said that “future money” would have been available now and in coming years to keep taxes down, improve infrastructure and hire more police officers. The mayor wants to talk to the parking authority about forming a new municipal authority that would assume control of all the city’s parking assets – 2,113 garage spaces, 160 surface lot spaces and 800 parking meters. Some authority members have come out in support of taking over the city-owned portion – the Intermodal Transportation Center and meters. The authority controls the parking garages and surface lots. While Leighton said forming a new municipal authority would provide many benefits, Drew McLaughlin, the city’s administrative coordinator, said the city does not have the ability to dissolve an independent authority. “The mayor and City Council are committed to working with the Wilkes-Barre Parking Authority on pursuing a public option that would consolidate the assets under the control of a new authority,” McLaughlin said. “We are exploring a public finance option and not a private lease. …” Leighton said the city adminis-

hese days it’s difficult to appreciate the longneglected Hotel Sterling for it once was.The pillars in the spacious lobby aren’t even marble – one is cracked open, revealing its fakeness. Plaster has fallen throughout the seven-story structure. Windows are broken – some are boarded. Water drips throughout the cavernous landmark.What happened to the sparkling chandeliers and other adornments that at one time graced the ceilings and walls of the once-palatial lobby and ballrooms?

Sleeping bags lay in a second-floor room once known as the Crystal Ballroom where weddings were celebrated and music played as guests danced the night away. Now, homeless men and women find refuge there, transforming a room where society’s finest gathered into a hideout for those society prefers not to see or deal with. Despite the outcries and

Health-care ruling won’t stop the headaches

By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR and MARK SHERMAN Associated Press

09815 10011

WASHINGTON — Saving its biggest case for last, the Supreme Court is expected to announce its verdict today on President Barack Obama’s health care law. The outcome is likely to be a factor in the presidential campaign and help define John Roberts’ legacy as chief justice.

But the court’s ruling almost certainly will not be the last word on America’s tangled efforts to address health care woes. The problems of high medical costs, widespread waste and tens of millions of people without insurance will require Congress and the president to keep looking for answers, whether or not the Affordable Care Act passes the test of constitutionality.

A look at potential outcomes: ••• Q: What if the Supreme Court upholds the law and finds Congress was within its authority to require most people to have health insurance or pay a penalty? A: That would settle the legal argument, but not the political battle. The clear winners if the law is

By JON O’CONNELL Times Leader Correspondent

RICE TWP. – Because of careful spending, Rice Township Secretary/Treasurer Donald Armstrong said Tuesday, the township is in good shape, despite slow streaming funds from Don Wilkinson’s tax agency Centax. “In Rice Township, it doesn’t present the same problem as it does in other townships and school districts,” he said. “In Rice Township we’re pretty well set.” As part of Pennsylvania State Act 32, Centax now manages tax revenues for all Luzerne County municipalities

and school districts. According to the act, which went into effect at the beginning of this year, taxpayers in each county are to channel their income tax dollars uniformly to a single collector or tax officer assigned to the county, who will then disperse the money back to municipalities. Centax has been slow in distributing funds, causing grief to a lot of smaller municipalities that depend on the money for monthly operations. Armstrong said the township has not yet received around $35,000 of expected tax revenue from the agency but revenue at the end of May was around 101 percent of last year’s income. Expenses, he said, are up about 17 percent for the year because of a police cruiser purchase for around $30,000.

Supervisor George Venesky said that last year ended with a budget surplus and he said he believes this year will end the same way. Venesky said that through prudent spending the supervisors were able not only to maintain the township but also improve in some ways, such as by purchasing the new cruiser, hiring a seasonal parttime road department employee at $10 per hour and installing a security camera at the recycling center behind the borough building. Supervisor Marcia Thomas raised objections at Tuesday’s supervisors’ meeting to the purchase of the new security camera and other transactions, referring to the state Sunshine Act, which states the public needs to be made aware of government’s decisions and discussions on the public’s behalf.

“I asked you last month about it, we tabled it and you went ahead and did it anyway,” Thomas said. Venesky said there were exigent circumstances that prompted the camera installation, but he did not feel it was wise to discuss the situation first at a public meeting. Thomas said later that, in an emergency situation, she could understand the board’s need to install the camera, but she had not been given enough information to contribute to the decision. “I wasn’t aware that there was any problem,” she said. “It’s not about that the fact that the money was spent,” Thomas said. “It’s about insuring that the money is spent by the rules and that the public knows where the money is going and why.”

BRIEF

HANOVER TWP.

Unsung Hero praises sung

Northeastern Pennsylvania Industrial Resource Center Business and IT Manager Paul Peter Olszewski received the national Unsung Hero Award from the Manufacturing Extension Partnership community for his diligent work in helping regional manufacturers recover from damage caused by Tropical Storm Lee in September. Olszewski was chosen for the award by a committee of MEP center leaders from across the nation, based on Olszewski a nomination from NEPIRC’s board and supporting documentation from regional manufacturers and state officials. After last September’s flooding, Olszewski and NEPIRC staff rapidly compiled a report that showed that manufacturers throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania suffered floodrelated damage of nearly $113 million and possibly much more. The flooding jeopardized at least 1,954 regional manufacturing jobs and left the region’s manufacturers in dire need of flood recovery assistance initiatives. The report contains flood impact statistics from within six FEMAdeclared disaster area counties. In addition to quantifying and categorizing more than $65.3 million of direct flood impact and nearly $50 million of indirect flood costs, the analysis also made recommendations for flood response programs.

Centax keeps job, for now Teen now Tax delays causing problems

By STEVE MOCARSKY smocarsky@timesleader.com

NANTICOKE – The Luzerne County Tax Collection Committee on Wednesday grudgingly put off firing CentaxDon Wilkinson agency as the earned income tax collector in the county. Dozens of municipalities could soon face financial crises because of significant delays Centax is having in distributing millions of dollars in income taxes the agency received from employers to municipalities and school districts. Officials in several communities have said they might not be able to meet payroll or pay other bills if the problem is not resolved soon. Projected EIT collections countywide for May and June total $14 million. Actual collections were $8.2 million; $4.3 million was distributed.

possible, and that may just put another hurdle in the road,” he said. In the letter, Centax states it was notified of a breach of contract June 18, but Keating said the executive committee disagrees because the committee met with former Centax president Mark Schuster on May 17 “to discuss … perceived tax collection issues, specifically, efficiencies in cash flow.” The committee learned Centax was having “extreme difficulties reconciling, processing and efficiently distributing earned income tax pursuant to Act 32,” which mandated that almost all counties in the state appoint one tax collector for all earned income tax collection starting Jan. 1. Previously, EIT was collected by tax collectors in each community. At that May 17 meeting, Shuster pointed to problems with Act 32 causing delays, Keating said.

Paul Keating, committee finance chairman, said the executive committee was prepared on Monday to have Tax Collection Committee members vote on terminating the Centax contract, but the committee solicitor received a letter earlier that day from legal counsel for Centax pointing out a clause in the contract that gives the agency 90 days to cure any problems. The executive committee also was prepared to have the committee vote on entering into a contract with Berkheimer Associates as the EIT collector in the county after firing Centax. But if it did either or both, the matter could end up in litigation that could further delay getting tax money to the municipalities and school districts, Keating said. “Our responsibility is to try to get that cash flow into this TCC as effectively as See TAX, Page 6A

‘Peace.’ ‘Understanding.’ ‘Love.’ Those are a few of the messages children wrote in chalk on Wednesday morning on the sidewalk in front of First Presbyterian Church in Wilkes-Barre, where they are attending a week-long Peace Camp for Kids. ‘We hope everyone who walks over the artwork feels peaceful all day,’ Peace Camp volunteer Rita Skechus said. The idea to draw on the sidewalk came from a website called chalk4peace.org. Peace Camp also includes games, music, swimming, stories and other activities.

WILKES-BARRE -- City residents who appreciate the greener side of life have a new location to visit and appreciate. Wednesday’s dedication of the Grayson Arboretum at Wilkes University was the official introduction of a block-long trail of trees that blends with the architecture, gardens and multicolor vegetation. A ceremony commenced on the campus with a 10-second countdown just before Patty Gilmour cut the ribbon. Gilmour, wife of outgoing university President Tim Gilmour, began the project about eight years ago and named it after her daughter Grayson Shrawder. “I’m honored and I’m really proud of my mom,” Shrawder said while choking back tears. Plenty of onlookers with cameras ambled about the walkway snapping photos of the green scenery. With more than 400 types of vegetation, there is plenty for people to gaze at. Although the arboretum offers a pleasant alternative path between South Street and Northampton Street, the park also provides function. There are tables See ARBORETUM, Page 6A

The new Geisinger Blood Center in Pittston Township was open for tours Wednesday. The hospital system requires about 25,000 units of blood a year. Geisinger plans weekly blood drives.

Ensuring supply By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

PITTSTON TWP. – Geisinger Health System on Wednesday took a step toward assuring a reliable supply of blood, plasma and platelets for patients, opening the new Geisinger Blood Center, a partnership with The Institute for Transfusion Medicine. “Opening a Geisinger-operated blood donation center is a significant event for our region because it ensures access to blood and blood products for all Geisinger patients,” said Lynn Miller, executive vice president for the Geisinger Clinical Enterprise, during a grand opening ceremony. The 6,400-square-foot facility inside the CenterPoint Commerce & Trade Park will handle only about 8,000 units in its first year. Because the Geisinger hospital system requires about 25,000 units a year, it will need to purchase additional blood products from The Institute for Transfusion Medicine or ITxM. Therese Snyder, Geisinger’s vice president of laboratory medicine, said the goal is to be “self sufficient” in five years. Officials said all the blood donated at the center or at Geisingerthe incident Davis would send her text message photos of himself nude. She said she deleted them and severed communication with Davis. Court papers say police spoke with Davis on Tuesday regarding the incident, and he admitted meeting the girl near the school and walking into the woods with her. Davis allegedly told police they

sponsored drives will remain local. Geisinger hasn’t canceled any procedures lately because of shortages but did have to purchase additional blood products from another supplier when the local chapter of the American Red Cross ran low. Since the first discussions about a new blood-supply partnership were initiated, Geisinger has added Community Medical Center in Scranton and Shamokin Hospital to its fold, and on Wednesday Geisinger announced it had acquired Bloomsburg Hospital. both took off their pants and that he was standing behind the girl, and that it was possible he “penetrated” her. Davis said the two would exchange “bad” pictures. Davis is scheduled to appear in court on July 3 for a preliminary hearing on the rape charges and the charges stemming from his arrest on Tuesday. In that case, police said that on

“As we grew, as we added additional hospitals, we needed to branch out,” Snyder said. To increase the amount of blood collected locally, Miller said Geisinger will hold weekly drives at its facilities to make sure employees and patients have an easily accessible donation point. A drive will be held July 25 at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center in Plains Township and weekly thereafter. A partnership between the two organizations operates the blood center, but the 12 employees work for ITxM because of licensing requirements with the Food and Drug Administration, which regulates blood collection and distribution. Blood will be collected at the site, but it will primarily serve as a manufacturing and distribution center and handle scheduling for drives. ITxM is headquartered in Pittsburgh and serves more than 100 hospitals nationwide. Miller said the location was chosen for its central location in what has become the growth area of Geisinger operations. “I think we’ve got plenty of capacity here,” said Miller, noting the center has the capacity to handle 75,000 units of blood products annually. June12 they learned that a sexually explicit picture was sent to a 12year-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.

WILKES-BARRE – A dispute between Lake-Lehman School District and its teacher and support personnel unions regarding health care has been settled, according to papers filed in county court. The Lake-Lehman Education Association and LakeLehman Educational Support Personnel Association, through their attorney, Jeffrey Husisian, reached an agreement with the district regarding its announced intention to withdraw from Northeastern Pennsylvania School Districts Health Trust insurance-buying consortium. “I am pleased to inform you that the parties have successfully resolved this matter and that the governing board of each party … have ratified the settlements,” Husisian said in a letter to the court. According to court records, the unions filed grievances with the school district, opposing the decision to withdraw from the health trust. The district intended on withdrawing from the trust in an effort to save about $1 million annually. On May 17, the two associations asked for a preliminary injunction to prevent the district from withdrawing. County Judge David Lupas denied the request and a hearing was scheduled for June 25. That hearing was not held because of the discontinuance of the injunction. The health trust filed a lawsuit against the school district, alleging it did not give a required one-year notice that it wanted to withdraw. The recent settled matter does not apply to the health trust lawsuit, Husisian said in court papers. An agreement between the trust and district is expected. Earlier this month, LakeLehman teachers voted to extend their contracts for two more years. That agreement may have smoothed out differences between the two sides.

Dems go after GOP Pa. spending plan

B R I E F

Proposed $27.7 billion budget would cut education, services but still give business $275 million in tax breaks.

HARRISBURG — Democrats on Wednesday attacked a newly unveiled $27.7 billion state spending plan written by majority Republicans, calling it a gift to big business that will lock in this year’s deep cuts in aid to public schools while forcing longer waits for people who need services such as treatment for mental illness or addiction. The legislation, made public just four days before the new fiscal year begins,

passed the House Appropriations Committee on a party-line vote Wednesday morning after two hours of debate. Floor debate was expected in the House later Wednesday, although a vote was not expected until today, and it would need Senate approval after that. Democrats were getting their first look at the document after having been excluded from private negotiations between Republicans who control both chambers of the state Legislature and GOP Gov. Tom Corbett. “I think this budget represents a woefully misplaced priority,” Rep. Matthew Bradford, D-Montgomery, said during the committee meeting. The plan for the 2012-13 fiscal year that begins Sunday would increase

spending by about 1.5 percent, largely for debt, pensions, health care for the poor and to help fill a deficit in the almost-finished fiscal year. Still, it would cut taxes for businesses by $275 million, or 1 percent of the budget, and leave nearly $400 million in reserve from tax collections that are expected to rise by more than 3 percent. To save money, it would cut 10 percent from aid for many county-run social services and hundreds of millions of dollars from the massive Department of Public Welfare budget. Most public schools would get the same amount of aid after sustaining a cut of more than10 percent this year, while an extra $50 million would be distributed to struggling school districts in an effort to avert a fi-

nancial collapse. Regarding cuts to county-administered social services, Bradford said, “we don’t even pretend to explain how they’re going to make that 10 percent cut work.” Republicans defended the need for the cuts, citing the increasingly expensive state share of public employee pension costs and arguing that helping businesses will enable them hire more people. “This is a sustainable budget,” said House Appropriations Committee Chairman Bill Adolph, R-Delaware. Cuts in the welfare budget include eliminating a Depression-era program that provides $200 a month to poor adults who cannot work.

U.N. summit set on Syria Gunmen attacked a pro-government TV station Wednesday near the Syrian capital, killing seven employees in the latest barrage of violence as world powers prepared for a high-level meeting that the U.S. hopes will be a turning point in the crisis. Invitations to Saturday’s gathering in Geneva were sent by special envoy Kofi Annan to the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council — including Syrian allies Russia and China — but not to major regional players Iran and Saudi Arabia. The absence of those two countries, as well as the lack of any appetite for international military intervention, could make it difficult for the group to find the leverage to end the bloodshed.

Ireland welcomes queen History was made in Northern Ireland Wednesday when Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II shook hands with Martin McGuinness, a staunch pro-Irish Republican, in a symbolic gesture signaling normalization after decades of bitter enmity. Later, the queen and Prince Philip were cheered by more than 25,000 as they rode to Stormont, the historic parliament building in Belfast, in an open-top vehicle – which would have been unthinkable just a few years ago. The handshake is significant given the bitter history between the British crown and Irish nationalists, and the 30 years of civil war between pro-Irish Republicans and pro-British Protestants in Northern Ireland.

Keystoners claim Carnegies Two men who subdued a gunman in a crowded Pennsylvania bar and a woman who swam through a flash flood to save an elderly woman in Pittsburgh are among 23 people honored with Carnegie medals for heroism. Kirk Haldeman, 51, of Ligonier, and Michael Ledgard, 52, of Greensburg, saved several customers after Stephen Fromholz, 40, an out-of-town laborer, allegedly shot a patron at a Ligonier bar July 11. Haldeman ran across the barroom and pushed the semi-automatic assault rifle upward until Ledgard, another customer, joined Haldeman in subduing Fromholz., who dropped his gun in the scuffle. The suspect remains jailed in Westmoreland County on charges he killed patron Donald Holler. Haldeman and Ledgard are credited with saving the lives of eight to 10 other patrons in the bar, plus an unspecified number of diners in an adjoining room. Also honored was Christine Marty, 21, of Sarver, who swam to rescue Roumianka Connolly, 69, when her car became disabled on a low-lying road that flooded during torrential rains in Pittsburgh on Aug. 19. Marty was able to help Connolly hold onto her vehicle until a rescue boat arrived.

The Waldo Canyon wildfire doubled in size overnight to about 24 square miles and has so far forced mandatory evacuations for more than 32,000 residents. Here, the fire destroys homes in Colorado Springs, Colo.’s Mountain Shadows area.

City at mercy of wildfire

By P. SOLOMON BANDA Associated Press

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — A raging wildfire destroyed dozens of houses overnight and charred land on the edges of the Air Force Academy on Wednesday, while thick smoke and intense, towering flames kept officials from learning the full scope of damage to Colorado’s second-largest city. The wildfire doubled in size overnight to about 24 square miles, and has so far forced mandatory evacuations for more than 32,000 residents, Colorado Springs emergency management director Brett Waters said. Among those urgently evacuated Tuesday evening were residents at the U.S. Air Force Academy. The fire burned about 10 acres of land along the southwest boundary of the academy’s 28-square-mile boundary, but no injuries or damage to academy structures have been reported. Steve Cox, an aide to Mayor Steve Bach, said Wednesday morning that the blaze has consumed dozens of houses elsewhere. A more precise figure wasn’t available because of the intensity of the fire. Heavy smoke and ash billowed from

the mountain foothills west of the city. Bright yellow and orange flames flared in the night, often signaling another home lost to the Waldo Canyon Fire, which is the No. 1 priority for the nation’s firefighters. The White House said President Barack Obama will tour the fire area Friday. “It was like looking at the worst movie set you could imagine,” Gov. John Hickenlooper said after flying over the 9square-mile fire late Tuesday. “It’s almost surreal. You look at that, and it’s like nothing I’ve seen before.” Flames crested a ridge above the scenic Air Force Academy campus on Tuesday, and the school told more than 2,200

residents to evacuate 600 households in one housing area. By Wednesday, the smoke appeared farther away, said Lt. Col. John Bryan, an academy spokesman. About 90 firefighters from the academy and nearby fire departments were battling the encroaching flames. It wasn’t immediately clear how close the fire was to the academy’s signature building, the aluminum, glass and steel Cadet Chapel. The chapel dorms, classrooms and other central buildings are clustered in the northwest quadrant of the 28-square-mile campus. “The cadets are safe,” Lt. Gen. Michael Gould, the academy superintendent, said. More than 1,000 incoming freshman are scheduled to report to the academy as scheduled today, but the day’s events have been moved to a campus building farther from the fire, Bryan said. Academy officials said 90 firefighters were trying to stop the flames on the campus, including some from nearby departments. Colorado Springs Fire Chief Richard Brown called the blaze “a firestorm of epic proportions.”

Sandusky didn’t fool adopted son’s birth mom By MICHAEL RUBINKAM Associated Press

Nearly two decades before Matt Sandusky’s blockbuster allegation that he was sexually abused by his adoptive father, his biological mother raised questions about their relationship. Debra Long fought the court system over her son’s placement in the home of the famed Penn State assistant football coach, who was convicted Friday of sexually abus-

ing 10 boys. Her objections, which she discussed in a December interview with The Associated Press, add a new dimension to the grim trial testimony that illustrated how Sandusky wooed the victims he culled from his charity for at-risk youth. Prosecutors said Sandusky used gifts, trips and access to Penn State’s vaunted football program to attract and abuse vulnerable boys he met through the charity, The Sec-

ond Mile. “If they’d have listened, these boys didn’t have to be abused,” Long said. “They would have found the problem back then, and a whole lot of kids wouldn’t be victims now.” Instead, she said, “we couldn’t get anything done. It was Jerry Sandusky. He started The Second Mile home. He could’ve done nothing wrong.” Matt Sandusky said that Jerry Sandusky, once Hall of

Fame coach Joe Paterno’s heir apparent, began sexually abusing him in the late 1980s, when he was 8 years old, and continued until he was 15, according to a police interview recording that NBC aired Tuesday. He was placed in foster care with the Sandusky family in January 1995, about a month after he set fire to a barn and several months after Long tried to cut him off from Sandusky and The Second Mile.

WASHINGTON — Congressional leaders have reached tentative deals that would prevent a doubling of student loan interest rates and revamp the nation’s transportation programs, congressional officials said Wednesday. If completed, the compromises would resolve two vexing issues on which lawmakers face weekend deadlines for action. House and Senate leaders have tentatively agreed to a one-year extension of today’s 3.4 percent interest rates for subsidized Stafford loans, said a congressional Republican who spoke on condition of anonymity to reveal the issue’s status. The measure — which would affect 7.4 million students projected to get new loans starting July 1 — is the same package that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Tuesday they had crafted between themselves. At the same time, congressional leaders have tentatively agreed on a two-year bill to overhaul federal highway programs, Senate aides said. The government’s authority to spend money on highways, bridges and transit systems expires Saturday, as does its ability to levy gasoline and diesel taxes. They spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal wasn’t final. Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., top Republican on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, said bargainers would drop a requirement that the government approve the proposed Keystone XL oil pipeline that is to run from Canada to Texas. House Republicans had pushed for inclusion of the Keystone provision, but the White House threatened to veto the bill if it was included. Inhofe said another GOP provision blocking the federal government from regulating the toxic ash generated by coal-fired power plants would also be jettisoned. House Republicans won concessions from the Senate on environmental reviews of highway projects, Senate aides and environmentalists said. In recent weeks, the key dispute has been over how to pay the student loan bill’s $6 billion price tag.

WILKES-BARRE – The citywide camera surveillance system aided police in the investigation of a hit-and-run that critically injured a man in a wheelchair earlier this month on South River Street, said members of the board overseeing the network. Board members of the not-forprofit Hawkeye Security Solutions said Wednesday a camera put in place 36 hours before the June 15 crash picked up the fleeing car and a recently purchased printer made copies of a photo of the car for police.

After the meeting, Keating said, executive committee members learned some municipalities had received no money at all from Centax. The agency was required to begin disbursing money it collected by April 30. So committee members met with elected state officials or their representatives to discuss the problem. State Rep. Phyllis Mundy set up a conference call meeting with Centax, Berkheimer and Keystone – the three largest tax collection agencies in the state – as well as representatives of the state Department of Community and Eco-

campus. “They used to say how pretty the flowers are … I definitely think it has a positive effect on the student numbers,” she said. The plant life is already expanding with two infant Chinese Maple trees donated by Claire Sawyers, director of Scott Arboretum at Swarthmore College. An information kiosk located across from the Henry Student Center at 84 W. South St. provides pamphlets and a map for those unfamiliar with the plants and area.

nomic Development, which oversees the implementation of Act 32, the state Department of Revenue, other elected officials and the executive committee to investigate whether other tax collectors were experiencing the same difficulties. “It was our collective opinion after the meeting that … this was clearly a tax collection issue … of the Centax agency” related to staffing and internal computer problems, Keating said. The committee voted unanimously to start Centax’s 90-day clock to fix the problem at May17, to terminate the contract with Centax after the 90 day-period and to have solicitor Jeff Malak investigate legal means to terminate the contract earlier than 90

days. Avoca Councilwoman Maryanne Tigue, who said her borough has received no money from Centax, asked about the earned interest municipalities and school districts were losing and the extra interest they would have to pay if forced to take out tax anticipation notes because of the delay. Keating said officials should keep track of earned interest lost or extra interest paid and report it to Malak. Other committee members questioned why Centax’s performance bond was so low, at $3.28 million, and how Centax was determined to be eligible to be an Act 32 tax collector. Malak said DCED set the bond rate and made the determination.

111 incidents this month in which the surveillance system’s staff assisted police, said Dale Rinker of Legion Security, the contractor hired to monitor the cameras. Rinker provided a tally during Hawkeye’s monthly meeting at City Hall. The June total was down from the 159 incidents in May, he said. But because there was not a printer in place, Hawkeye will have to make a procedural change regarding printing of photos. “We realized we did not have anything in our rules and regulations to address that issue,” said Rinker.

Gas drilling impact may be deadly, medical couple say INSIDE: Oil company chief says don’t believe the hype, Page 7B

By MATT HUGHES mhughes@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE -- A husband-wife team of medical professionals said Tuesday that they’ve seen disturbing evidence that natural gas drilling can kill. Dr. Robert Oswald, professor of molecular medicine at Cornell University, and Dr. Michelle Bamberger, a private practice veterinarian from Ithaca, N.Y., spoke to a crowd of 50 at Wilkes University about the potential impact of natural gas drilling on animal and human health. The presentation was hosted by the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research. Bamberger detailed several alarming cases in which cattle grazing near gas drilling activities developed health and reproductive problems. In one 2009 case from Louisiana, 17 previously healthy cows died within an hour after an accidental exposure to hydraulic fracturing fluid released from a well pad, Bamberger said. The cattle fell over kicking, vomited, foamed at the mouth,

died or exhibited reproductive and other health problems at higher rates than did cows from the same herds that did not come into contact with the water. Neither Bamberger nor Oswald could say just how prevalent these problems are, or whether they pose a food-safety threat. Nor could they prove a conclusive link between gas drilling and the problems they studied. To prove such a conclusive link, they would need pre-drilling data that simply doesn’t exist. But the pair said the correlation they have seen between animal health problems and gas drilling is still cause for concern, especially because changes in animal health can be a warning

sign for coming changes in human health. Oswald said more study and better regulations are needed to gauge the potential impact of that total system upon human and animal health. Greater study is needed to determine the maximum concentrations of some of the chemicals employed in gas drilling that humans may safely be exposed to, as well as the interactions of combinations of those chemicals with each other and with other substances in the body and the environment. To give scientists the information they need to assess that impact, Oswald said pre-drilling water and air quality tests are needed, as well as more thorough post-drilling testing. He also said the nondisclosure agreements drillers sometimes ask landowners to sign follow-

ing an accident get in the way of health impact studies. “Our view is that non-disclosure agreements in cases that affect public health are unethical and should be illegal,” Oswald said, noting that compelling patients harmed by side-effects of prescription drugs, for example, would be highly unethical. Oswald closed by noting that non-conventional gas drilling is now being employed all over the world. “There are a lot of people concerned about this; a lot of people want to know the answers,” Oswald said. “So without further scientific study, the gas drilling boom sweeping the world will remain an uncontrolled health experiment on an enormous scale, and unless we do something about it we’re going to be the laboratory.”

QUOTE OF THE DAY “This Olympics – from all that I know and based on all the information that Interpol has – should be a safe Olympics.” Ronald K.

He and others expressed confidence that law enforcement agencies are up to the task. The Summer Games are set to begin July 27.

Lawmakers should focus on homes, not schools

s state funding for education more important than out-of-control property taxes? Pennsylvania legislators are focusing on Gov. Tom Corbett’s school funding cuts more so than our kids having a place to call home! They should strive to eliminate property taxes to secure homeownership as the number-one priority, to keep a roof over the students’ heads. What good are programs such as French language going to do for a student stuck in a homeless shelter? What Pennsylvanians need is a “Mr. Smith goes to Harrisburg” with a big mouth screaming, “Stop taxing our properties!”

XECUTIVE privilege is a principle dangerous to democracy, whether invoked by a Republican or Democratic president. The Obama administration has invoked it and now is threatened with retaliation: House Republicans say unless the administration hands over subpoenaed documents, they will vote today to declare Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress. If that is what it takes, they should do it. Congress needs to know about botched government programs. This was one. Called “Fast and Furious,” it was a sting operation run out of the Phoenix office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives from 2009 to 2011. Its aim was to allow Mexican drug organizations to buy illegal guns so that U.S. agents could follow the guns, arrest the people who had them and destroy the cartels. The U.S. agents lost track of EDITORIAL BOARD

hundreds of guns. In 2010, two of the guns were found at the killing scene of U.S. border agent Brian Terry. The Mexican government also said Fast and Furious guns were found at 170 crime scenes in Mexico. U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, followed with an investigation, which led to the testimony of Holder and the release of 7,000 pages of Department of Justice documents. An additional1,300 pages under House of Representatives subpoena were the subject of a presidential order of executive privilege, the first such order of Obama’s presidency. That is what the argument is about. Obama has said he did not know about Fast and Furious, and Issa does not claim the president knew. That is not the issue. The issue is whether Congress has the right to learn about it, and it does. The Seattle Times

Reader: Watson’s column belongs in funny papers

n June 24 I traveled from Roxbury, N.Y., to the Northeast Fair in Pittston Township to see the Shawn Klush show. (Great show.) While there, I lost my wallet. This was very upsetting. I called the fairgrounds and the fire department, with hopes that someone would find and return the wallet. They were on it right away and called me before I left for New York to tell me they recovered it. I offer a heartfelt thankyou for a job well done and such good, honest people.

he column by John Watson (“Flow of corporate cash threatens our democracy,” June 10) contains so many whoppers, half-truths and outright lies of omission that to parse it line by line would require a full newspaper page. So, I decided to capture a few of the highlights, or should I say lowlights, to rediscover why Seattle is called the “Left Coast” by political junkies. Mr. Watson is disturbed that the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision will lead to such an enormous amount of cash going to Republican candidates that the very foundation of our democracy is at stake. He worries that soon all state legislatures will be evil Republican bodies, dominated by their puppet masters in the corporate world. As they say in boxing, let’s go to the tape. Well, surprise, surprise! Opensecrets.org is a website tracking political donations by all donors, and in its listing of political donors (1989 to 2012) out of the top 20 donors, one leans Republican, five are considered tied, but a total of 14 donate strongly Democratic! Mr. Watson would have us think that the recent recall election in Wisconsin was won by corporate contributions and that Gov. Scott Walker unfairly benefited from them. He fails to mention that Wisconsin public employee unions spent an almost equal amount of money on the recall petition. Why not just tell both sides of the story? Finally, he tells us that UNICEF found that 23.1 percent of American children grow up in poverty. He writes this with, I assume, a straight face. When one does a few seconds of fact checking, however, the term used by the U.N. agency is “relative poverty,” which seemingly means that it can be anything they say it is. What we have with Mr. Watson’s column is the same old liberal drivel thrown week after week at an increasingly aware public. I think columns such as these truly belong in the Sunday funnies.

Obama’s stimulus plan a bust on creating jobs

t the outset of his administration, President Obama promised the American people that U.S. unemployment would never reach 8 percent, provided his trillion-dollar stimulus package was approved. He got his wish – and it didn’t work. The national unemployment rate has been above 8 percent for nearly 40 consecutive months, the longest span of 8 percent or higher unemployment since the Great Depression. America cannot spend its way back to prosperity and economic growth, and the Obama administration’s failed stimulus plan is all the evidence we need. I always have understood this economic reality; if only President Obama did as well. Maria Gillette Carbondale

DOONESBURY: FLASHBACK

Dairy farmers shouldn’t get milked by bad policy

s a dairy farmer in Pennsylvania over the past 30 years, I’ve lived through the ups and downs of this extremely volatile industry. Over the past decade, dairy farmers have experienced the highs of 2008 and 2010 and the extreme lows of 2003, 2006 and 2009, which were the worst years in the lifetimes of most dairy farmers, because the price we received for milk plummeted, while production costs reached all-time high levels. The low times have been especially challenging, since it typically takes three good years to recover from one down year. Each year, June is recognized as National Dairy Month and is observed in Pennsylvania. Throughout the month, you likely will hear about how dairy farmers contribute significantly to the state’s economy and how they support thousands of jobs and rural communities – all of this information is true. It’s equally important to note that regardless of the economic picture on the farm, the top priority of dairy farmers is to produce high-quality, safe milk for consumers. We take the trust you put in us very seriously. As vice president of the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau and chairman of its State Dairy Committee, I am involved in many meetings and discussions about the future of dairy farming, including proposals to reduce volatility and create a better future for dairy producers. I firmly believe that the United States needs to be a global dairy supplier, not a balancing nation. We can’t afford to keep making products for our own government to purchase, and then store products that no one wants. We also need to make sure that dairy producers have equal access to reliable and workable safety net programs, such as a margin protection program or a risk management insurance product. As federal lawmakers consider the next Farm Bill, I encourage milk producers to work together to identify positive changes to dairy policy. A perfect solution might be difficult to attain, but if we work together we can achieve a legislative outcome that will improve the long-term outlook for milk producers. Pennsylvania ranks fifth in the nation in milk production, thanks to more than 7,000 farm families. We appreciate the support we receive from Pennsylvanians who purchase our products and look forward to continuing to provide consumers with a wide variety of high-quality and good-tasting items.

Inmate waives hearing in hit-man case witness against Selenski. Michael Joseph Scerbo Weakley is being held in a allegedly sought to have a federal prison in Tucson, Ariz. Hugo Selenski witness killed. The assumed hit man was sup-

By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

NANTICOKE – A state police trooper working under cover in a state prison was ready to testify that inmate Michael Joseph Scerbo planned to hire a hit man to kill a witness against Hugo Selenski. The trooper’s testimony was not needed at Scerbo’s preliminary hearing Wednesday before District Judge Donald Whittaker. Scerbo, 39, waived his right to the proceeding, sending a single count of criminal attempt to commit homicide to Luzerne County Court. He remains jailed at the county prison for lack of $250,000 bail. State police allege Scerbo, while jailed at the State Correctional Institution at Retreat, Newport Township, offered to pay $1,000 to a “hit man” he met in the prison’s visitation room on March 29 for killing Paul Weakley, 43, a prosecution

posed to have connections to a prison gang with members throughout the federal prison system. “When we learned of Mr. Scerbo’s plan, we did in lieu of an actual hit man obviously, we sent in an undercover state trooper from Philadelphia and he was able to audio record the admission of (Scerbo),” Luzerne County First Assistant District Attorney Sam Sanguedolce said. Scerbo waived the charge to county court after meeting with his attorney, Peter John Moses. “Mr. Scerbo based that decision on what is best for him in his criminal defense,” Moses said. “As this case develops and as it unwinds, we’ll learn more about the events surrounding this matter.” Scerbo, formerly of Milford, Pike County, met Weakley while they were both jailed at the Pike County Correctional Facility in 2008. Scerbo, sen-

tenced to state prison on a forgery conviction in Pike County, was jailed at SCI-Retreat, where his cell was next to Selenski’s in the restrictive housing unit during 2011. Selenski was sentenced to 32 ½ to 65 years in state prison after he was convicted in Monroe County Court of assaulting and robbing a jewelry store owner in January 2003. Scerbo was arrested just seconds after he was released from SCI-Retreat on April 27. According to the criminal complaint filed against Scerbo: Scerbo made contact with another inmate who had ties to a “known criminal gang based in Philadelphia” with many gang associates incarcerated at numerous federal prisons. Scerbo met with the trooper, who he believed was a “hit man.” Weakley claims in an unrelated lawsuit that he has been attacked and stabbed in three federal prisons since he testified against Selenski. Weakley is a witness against ED LEWIS/THE TIMES LEADER Selenski at a double homicide Michael Joseph Scerbo, 39, is escorted into a preliminary trial scheduled for September. hearing Wednesday in Nanticoke.

cutors and testify against Selenski at upcoming court proceedings. According to Weakley’s lawsuit, he entered the federal prison system on Sept. 26, 2008, after he was sentenced on a federal racketeering charge that involved the homicides of Kerkowski and Fassett. Weakley was jailed at the U.S. Penitentiary Coleman in Florida when he claimed he was beaten by two inmates wielding metal pipes less than three weeks after he arrived. The lawsuit says Weakley was transferred to the U.S. Penitentiary Big Sandy in Kentucky on Dec. 29, 2008, and was stabbed “no fewer than 26 times and left for dead” by two inmates on Jan. 1, 2010. Weakley was transferred to the U.S. Penitentiary Lee in Virginia on July 7, 2010, and was stabbed four times in the neck by two inmates on July 10, according to Weakley’s lawsuit. Weakley states in the lawsuit he raised concerns about his safety at each federal prison for being an informant and a snitch, and asked to be placed in protective custody and not among the general inmate population. He says his concerns went ignored and he was threatened by prison correctional officers, the lawsuit states. Weakley is currently jailed at a federal prison in Tuscon, Ariz., according to the federal Bureau of Prison’s website.

taken down in 2007 and the remaining shell hardly resembles what once was. Concrete barriers have been placed along West Market Street – at a cost of $5,000 per month – after Mayor Tom Leighton condemned the structure facing South River Street following last September’s flooding. Enough of the Susquehanna River seeped into the Sterling to make it unsafe. As you walk through the Sterling, plaster crunches beneath your feet. Cracked mirrors offer reflections only to pigeons and vagrants. But to tour the interior is like boarding the sunken Titanic. Evidence of long-ago grandeur is apparent in the wood railings on the stairs, the brass elevator doors and the inlaid tile. Mike Simonson, the city’s deputy director of operations, said the building indeed has a lot of history – a history of good times, fine dining and lavish celebrations. But that all is in the past. “At this point, the Sterling is a general hazard to the public,” Simonson said. “Lanes of traffic have been shut down. A general lack of maintenance over the years has caused the building to take a turn for the worse.” Simonson said the elements can wreak havoc on open buildings. He said the Sterling’s steel is rusted and the ceiling and walls have weakened from moisture. His assessment is evident on the building’s first three floors.

by a GOP House and Senate, and repeal the law, although their chances of repeal would seem to be diminished by the court’s endorsement. Obama would feel the glow of vindication for his hard-fought health overhaul, but it might not last long even if he’s re-elected. The nation still faces huge problems with health care costs, requiring major changes to Medicare that neither party has explained squarely to voters. Some backers of Obama’s law acknowledge it was only a first installment: Get most people covered, then deal with the harder problem of costs. ••• Q: On the other hand, what if the court strikes down the entire law? A: Many people would applaud, polls suggest. Taking down the law would kill a costly new federal entitlement before it has a chance to take root and develop a clamoring constituency, but that still would leave the problems of high costs, waste and millions uninsured. Some Republicans in Congress already are talking about passing anew the more popular pieces of the health law. But the major GOP alternatives to Obama’s law would not cover nearly as many uninsured, and it’s unclear how much of a dent they would make in costs. Some liberals say Medicare-forall, or government-run health insurance, will emerge as the only viable answer if Obama’s publicprivate approach fails. People with health insurance could lose some ground as well. Employers and insurance companies would have no obligation to keep providing popular new benefits such as preventive care with no copayments and coverage for young adults until age 26 on a parent’s plan. Medicare recipients with high prescription drug costs could lose discounts averaging about $600. ••• Q: What happens if the court strikes down the individual insurance requirement, but leaves the rest of the Affordable Care Act in place? A: Individuals would have no obligation to carry insurance, but insurers would remain bound by the law to accept applicants regardless of medical condition and limit what they charge their oldest and sickest customers. Studies suggest premiums in the individual health insurance market would jump by 10 percent to 30 percent. Experts debate whether that would trigger the collapse of the market for individuals and small businesses, or just make coverage even harder to afford than it is now. In any event, there would be risks to the health care system. Fewer people would sign up for coverage. The insurance mandate was

primarily a means to an end, a way to create a big pool of customers and allow premiums to remain affordable. Unless there’s a political deal to fix it, the complicated legislation would get more difficult to carry out. Congressional Republicans say they will keep pushing for repeal. Without the mandate, millions of uninsured low-income people still would get coverage through the law’s Medicaid expansion. The problem would be the 10 million to 15 million middle-class people expected to gain private insurance under the law. They would be eligible for federal subsidies, but premiums would get more expensive. Taxes, Medicare cuts and penalties on employers not offering coverage would stay in place. ••• Q: What if the court strikes down the mandate and also invalidates the parts of the law that require insurance companies to cover people regardless of medical problems and that limit what they can charge older people? A: Many fewer people would get covered, but the health insurance industry would avoid a dire financial hit. Insurers could continue screening out people with a history of medical problems. That would prevent a sudden jump in premiums. But it would leave consumers with no assurance that they can get health insurance when they need it, which is a major problem that the law was intended to fix. Obama administration lawyers say the insurance requirement goes hand in hand with the coverage guarantee and cap on premiums, and they have asked the court to get rid of both if it finds the mandate to be unconstitutional. One scenario sends shivers through the health care industry: The court strikes down the mandate only, and delegates other courts to determine what else stays or goes. ••• Q: What happens if the court throws out only the expansion of the Medicaid program? A: That would limit the law’s impact severely because roughly half of the more than 30 million people expected to gain insurance under the law would get it through the expansion of Medicaid, the federal-state health insurance program for low-income people. But a potentially sizable number of those low-income people still might be eligible for government-subsidized private insurance under other •••provisions. Q: What happens if the court decides that the constitutional challenge is premature? A: The wild card, and least conclusive outcome in the case, probably also is the most unlikely, based on what justices said during oral arguments. No justice seemed inclined to take this path, which involves the court’s consideration of a technical issue.

The prince sees a crowning Federer advances with an easy victory By STEVEN WINE AP Sports Writer

WIMBLEDON, England â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Roger Federer gave Prince Charles a bow, then gave Fabio Fognini a royal thumping. With the Prince of Wales visiting Wimbledon for the first time since 1970, Federer was at his best Wednesday and beat Fognini 6-1, 6-3, 6-2. Federer, a six-time winner at the All England Club, won 37 of

41 points on his first serve and 21 of 23 points at the net against Fognini, an Italian ranked 68th. Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall sat in the first row of the Royal Box as Federer walked onto Centre Court for the dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first match. He and Fognini stood side by side as they bowed awkwardly toward the royals, and Charles responded with a wave and grin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They do brief you before-

LEGION BASEBALL

Walking its way to some fast runs

Nanticoke takes advantage of free passes in first inning to defeat Hazleton. By JAY MONAHAN For The Times Leader

NANTICOKE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; As the rest of the league can attest to, wooden bats have made runs a precious commodity in its first year back in American Legion baseball. Hazleton learned this all too well Wednesday. A walk-plagued first inning proved to be all Nanticoke needed to post a 4-2 victory over Hazleton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We give up four runs, and every team in the league is struggling with the wooden bats,â&#x20AC;? Hazleton coach Keith Segedy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Our starterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) pitch count was up already. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re battling uphill from there. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do a whole lot when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing from behind.â&#x20AC;? Hazleton starting pitcher Erik Johnson struggled with his command in the first inning. Johnson bounced several pitchers and walked five batters during the frame. Run-scoring hits by Matt Pawlowski, Kevin Volkel and Nick Deno gave Nanticoke a 4-1 lead after each teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first set of at-bats. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought his fastball was as lively as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been in the past couple weeks,â&#x20AC;? Segedy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He came off a couple extra daysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rest. I liked what he did pre-game. Then he came out and couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spot up.â&#x20AC;? Deno â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s counterpart â&#x20AC;&#x201C; escaped from a rocky first inning to hold Hazleton to just five hits. The Nanticoke righty struck out five, allowed two runs, and walked only three in seven innings to earn a complete-game victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nick Deno was fabulous today â&#x20AC;&#x201C; great performance on the mound,â&#x20AC;? Nanticoke coach Joe Yudichak said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Defense was solid behind him and made every play.â&#x20AC;? Hazleton put up its biggest threat in the fourth inning when it left bases loaded. Deno served up all three of his walks during the inning and loaded up the bases twice. T.J. Chirico popped up a suicide squeeze that caused See RUNS, Page 4B

OPINION

The best play came to save the kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; game

alking away from the dugout following a final defeat, Matt Zalafi couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but smile. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the result he desired, a 20-12 loss that knocked his Plains Little League team out of the District 16 Tournament But it was on his home field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I smile when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m on the field, whether we win or lose,â&#x20AC;? Zalafi, one of the stars of the Plains-2 all-star team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never get down. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a fun thing to be here.â&#x20AC;? There was a time when the Plains player feared theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be somewhere else. When Plains-2 coach Brian Baranski arrived at Tokach Field in the early morning hours of June 9, flames were shooting from the press box roof behind home plate. The concession stand suffered smoke damage and was rendered unusable, and the public address system and scoreboard controls were singed. It was determined someone set fire to the field. Overcoming adversity together Police charged 39-year-old Brian Gashi of Harding with two counts of arson and one count each of reckless burning, theft and criminal mischief. According to reports, Gashi came out of a bar looking to steal something. He nearly robbed the joy from Plains Little Leaguers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After that guy broke in and burned it down, I thought we were never going to play here for the rest of the year,â&#x20AC;? Zalafi said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was a little sad. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so beautiful. He went in and just had to ruin it.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kind of brought me down,â&#x20AC;? said hard-hitting shortstop Geoff Walton, â&#x20AC;&#x153;because I really like playing on this field.â&#x20AC;? But an outpouring of warmth saved the day. The local community, businesses and others pitched in with tremendous support. The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees front office proved a big hit, with a fundraiser at the field this past Friday that raised donations. And the press box was rebuilt back to decent condition within three weeks. Oh, nobodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name was announced over the loudspeakers Wednesday, the score was kept on a small, makeshift board located down the left field line and a small booth less than the length of a dugout served as the concession stand. Other than those minor inconveniences, it was hard to detect much destruction around the place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They re-did it nicely,â&#x20AC;? said Baranski, who is also a Plains Township police officer and assisted in the apprehension of the culprit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best thing about Plains, the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When something goes wrong, everybody comes together here.â&#x20AC;? It allowed the kids to gather for a couple more nights of excitement on their own field that will last a lifetime. Walton crushed a three-run triple in the third inning and made a pair of incredible running catches in foul territory. Zalafi ran down fly balls like a gazelle in the outfield, and effortlessly unleashed three near-perfect throws to home plate. See KIDS, Page 3B

Spain’s players celebrate after winning the penalty shootout during the Euro 2012 soccer championship semifinal match between Spain and Portugal in Donetsk, Ukraine, Thursday.

There is a substitute for victory Reserve Cesc Fabregas scores in shootout to clinch Spain’s victory over Portugal.

By JEROME PUGMIRE AP Sports Writer

DONETSK, Ukraine — Far from its best, Spain still advanced to another major final, beating Portugal 4-2 in a penalty shootout Wednesday after a scoreless draw at the European Championship. Cesc Fabregas, who came on as a substitute in the second half of regulation time, scored the deciding penalty after Bruno Alves hit the crossbar for Portugal moments earlier. “I played poorly, but the team worked really hard,” Fabregas said. “I had this intuition that we could advance if we went to penalties and that’s what we did.” Spain, seeking its third straight major trophy after claiming titles at Euro 2008 and the 2010 World Cup, will next face either Germa-

was closed for the first time in the tournament. Defending champion Novak Djokovic won under the lights, beating American Ryan Harrison 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 in the final match of the day, which finished at 9:52 p.m. “We went the distance,” Djokovic said. “I’m honored to be in a position to play on the most recognized Centre Court worldwide in our sport. Every time I step on Centre Court, you can feel the different energy from any other tournament.” Former No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki lost under the roof to Tamira Paszek, who saved two match points in the second set and won 5-7, 7-6 (4), 6-4. Other Grand Slam champions advancing included Kim Clijsters and Andy Roddick, while 2011 U.S. Open champion Samantha Stosur and 2011 French Open champion Li Na lost. More than a dozen matches on outside courts were postponed until Thursday.

knees. He had three hits, but it wasn’t enough on a night the Phillies got more encouraging news about their injured stars. Former NL MVP Ryan Howard will start a rehab stint on Thursday night and two-time Cy Young winner Roy Halladay is making progress and could throw off a bullpen mound next week. Until they’re all healthy, it won’t be easy for the five-time defending NL East champions. James McDonald (7-3) allowed four runs and six hits in 5 2-3 innings. It was the first time in 15 starts this season he allowed more than three runs, and his ERA climbed from 2.19 to 2.44. McKenry drove in a careerbest four runs and the Pirates

ny or Italy on Sunday in Kiev. “Being in another final is a miracle,” Fabregas said. “It’s really incredible.” Cristiano Ronaldo had several chances for Portugal, but he sent three shots well over the bar as his team held its own for the entire match. The Real Madrid star, who came alive with three goals in his last two matches at the tournament, did not take a penalty in the shootout. He had been slated to take the fifth one, but it never got that far. After an often dour opening 90 minutes in which the Spanish failed to impress, the match livened up in the 30 minutes of extra time. Spain midfielder Andres Iniesta forced Portugal goalkeeper Rui Patricio into a superb reflex save in the 103rd minute. Iniesta ghosted into the penalty area then held his head in disbelief as Rui Patricio reacted brilliantly to get a strong hand on his shot after Jordi Alba cut the ball back toward the penalty spot. Rui Patricio made another fine

save to deny substitute Jesus Navas in the 111th. Tempers frayed at times, with Portugal center half Pepe getting a yellow card for a challenge on Xabi Alonso as they went for a high ball. Ronaldo also received some heavy challenges late in the match. In the shootout, Xabi had the first attempt saved by Rui Patricio before Spain goalkeeper Iker Casillas saved Joao Moutinho’s shot. Iniesta, Gerard Pique and Sergio Ramos then all scored for Spain, while Pepe and Nani answered for Portugal. “The first one wasn’t so lucky, and then we scored the rest of them,” Casillas said. “Yes, we really were lucky. Everything is about luck sometimes.” Spain coach Vicente del Bosque ditched his unorthodox 4-6-0 formation for Wednesday’s match and opted for a traditional striker — but not the one many expected. Instead of Fernando Torres, it was Alvaro Negredo that got the start up front. But 10 minutes into the second half, Del

Bosque replaced him with Fabregas. Although Negredo worked hard, his lack of movement made him easy to mark. Spain improved as Fabregas made clever runs to stretch the defense and the defending champions dominated most of extra time with the addition of Pedro Rodriguez late in the match. Rui Patricio was a big help in goal for Portugal, but much more was expected from Ronaldo. The winger had a chance, albeit a difficult one, to win the game in the 90th minute when Portugal poured forward after clearing a free kick. But Raul Meireles’ pass was fractionally behind Ronaldo and, with momentum lost, he had to check his run and sent his shot high and wide. Ronaldo briefly threatened early in the first half, whipping over a cross from the left wing that Casillas grabbed before Nani could head it in. He also sent a free kick into the wall after too easily tumbling under a challenge.

Top-ranked Maria Sharapova led 7-6 (3), 3-1 when her secondround match against Tsvetana Pironkova was suspended because of darkness. Sharapova saved five set points in the first set. When Federer completed his victory, Charles and Camilla joined the crowd’s applause. He visited with the royal couple afterward for several minutes, talking about tennis, polo and Federer’s young twin daughters. “They were very nice, very sweet and thought I played great,” Federer said, “which was very nice to get some compliments after the match, which was unnecessary, but of course I do appreciate it.” Seeded third, Federer hopes to end his 21⁄2-year drought in major tournaments, and he’s off to a good start, losing only nine games through two rounds. He seeks to add to his record total of 16 Grand Slam championships, and he could match the record of seven Wimbledon men’s titles set by William Renshaw in the 1880s and tied by Pete Sampras in 2000. “I’m just happy overall with how I’m playing,” Federer said.

“I’m serving well when I have to. I’m moving well. I feel like my forehand and backhand are working well. All of a sudden you win quite comfortably, but you have to focus until the very last point, and I’m happy as well with my concentration level.” Sloane Stephens, a 19-year-old American playing at Wimbledon for the first time, saved five set points in the first set and beat No. 23 Petra Cetkovska 7-6 (6), 4-6, 6-3. In the final set, Stephens trailed love-30 in four consecutive service games, yet won them all. “I’m 19 and I do still have some lapses,” she said. “They’re less now than I used to have in the past. I really don’t get as upset when I lose points now. I’m not that emotional anymore.” Stephens is coming off her first run to the fourth round at a Grand Slam tournament, which happened this month at the French Open. Heather Watson became the first British woman to reach the third round since 2002 when she defeated American Jamie Hampton 6-1, 6-4. Sara Errani needed only seven

seconds to complete a rain-interrupted win, and she didn’t even have to hit a ball. Errani led American CoCo Vandeweghe 6-1, 5-3 and held the advantage one point from victory when their match was halted Tuesday evening. They returned to Court 16 some 18 hours later, and when Vandeweghe doublefaulted into the net on the first point, Errani had the win. No. 21-seeded Milos Raonic required only one game to complete a rain-interrupted first-round win over Santiago Giraldo, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. No. 7 David Ferrer reached the second round by beating Dustin Brown 7-6 (5), 6-4, 6-4. Three-time Wimbledon runner-up Roddick needed three hours over two days to complete a first-round win over British wild card Jamie Baker, 7-6 (1), 6-4, 7-5. Clijsters, a four-time major champion playing Wimbledon for the final time, advanced to the third round by beating Andrea Hlavackova 6-3, 6-3. The No. 5-seeded Stosur fell to 6-10 at Wimbledon when she was upset by 72nd-ranked Arantxa Rus 6-2, 0-6, 6-4.

feasted on Philadelphia’s maligned bullpen in their highestscoring game of the season. Reliever Raul Valdes (2-1) started for the Phillies, who were out of starters because of a doubleheader Sunday. He allowed three runs and two hits in two innings in his second career start. Joe Savery came in and gave up five runs in 2 2-3 innings. The Phillies took a 2-0 lead in the first when Utley and Carlos Ruiz hit back-to-back homers. Utley drove a 2-2 pitch way out to right-center. He got his third standing ovation in a 15minute span and came out for a curtain call after circling the bases and getting mobbed by teammates in dugout. Ruiz then hit a drive to left for his 11th homer. That had another sellout crowd at Citizens Bank Park buzzing. It didn’t last. McKenry connected off Valdes in the second to put the

Pirates ahead 3-2. McGehee homered off Savery in the fourth and McDonald helped himself with a two-out RBI single to extend the lead to 5-2. Neil Walker, Jose Tabata and McKenry had RBI singles in the fifth to put the Pirates up 8-2. But the Phillies rallied against McDonald in the sixth. Hunter Pence had an RBI double and Shane Victorino singled him in to cut it to 8-4. Jimmy Rollins lined an RBI triple off Jared Hughes with no outs in the seventh. Tony Watson came in and Juan Pierre singled for his 500th career RBI. Utley followed with a single and Ruiz lined an RBI single to right field that Tabata appeared to lose in the lights, cutting the deficit to 8-7. Brad Lincoln entered and preserved the lead. He struck out Pence, retired Victorino on a fly ball and fanned pinch-hitter Jim Thome.

“It felt good, knowing we could come back here,” Walton said. In a very private way, the community of Plains changed the whole complexion of their children’s day. And with a few mighty swings, a negative turned into a positive. “It actually is when you look at it that way,” Baranski said. “Everything was back to normal, I felt, except for the scoreboard.” The final score may have told a tale of defeat, but for Plains-2 it sure felt like victory.

Kenseth motors off to new team in ’13

Speculation indicates the 2003 Cup champion will drive for Joe Gibbs Racing. By JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Matt Kenseth has kept his name out of the rumor mill for most of his NASCAR career. When it finally popped up, it was a bombshell: The Sprint Cup Series points leader was planning his departure from Roush Fenway Racing. Kenseth said Wednesday that he has a new deal already in place for 2013, and although he said he’s not ready to announce it, all signs point to a move to Joe Gibbs Racing. He laughed when asked how he went from begin a guy nobody even mentioned in free-agent discussions to one of the biggest movers in many years. “Everybody’s personality is different, and I’ve always preferred to do as much of my business as possible behind closed doors because it’s my business and my career,” Kenseth said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. “You don’t want outside forces trying to play a role in what you do, or influencing you. So you just keep it quiet. This happened fairly quickly, but this season has been a very stressful two or three months, and what’s been put together was done in a matter of weeks.” Kenseth has spent his entire career at Roush, where he won two Daytona 500s and the 2003 Cup championship. He has never earnestly tested the freeagent market before, and each of his contracts at Roush had been extended before the final year arrived. So even though he has been

unsigned all season, nobody figured he’d ever leave Roush, where he’s driven the No. 17 Ford in all but one of his 452 Cup starts dating to 1998. He said telling team co-owner Jack Roush he was leaving last week was one of the toughest conversations he’s ever had. “I don’t think either one of us expected it, I think both of us expected I would retire driving for him and driving the 17 car,” Kenseth said. “It was difficult, one of the top-10 hardest conversations I’ve ever had, and it made for an uncomfortable last weekend for both of us. It felt kind of weird (at Sonoma) and now that it’s out there, I think it will be fine. “I’ve got a tremendous amount of respect for him, and I think in the long run, everyone is going to be fine.” Roush moved quickly to fill Kenseth’s seat, promoting Nationwide Series champion Ricky Stenhouse Jr. to the Cup level. Kenseth won’t say where he’s headed, just that he believes it will be a good fit and was the first offer he’d ever seriously considered. J.D. Gibbs, president of Joe Gibbs Racing, declined Wednesday during an appearance in Kentucky to discuss any potential deal with Kenseth. But JGR driver Denny Hamlin was on board, and said his driving style probably matched Kenseth more than anyone else in NASCAR. The 40-year-old Kenseth would automatically become the senior driver at Gibbs, which currently fields cars for Hamlin, Kyle Busch and Joey Logano. It’s not clear if Kenseth is headed to the No. 20 car to replace Logano, or if a fourth team is being created for one of the drivers.

GM provided fake ID says accused stalker

The Associated Press

NEW YORK — A woman charged with stalking and shaking down New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman has said he got her phony identification to use in getting an abortion after she became pregnant with his child. Cashman spokesman Chris Giglio said Wednesday that the allegations amount to “more fiction” from a woman already facing stalking, perjury and other charges. Louise Neathway made the claim in papers she filed Monday in a Manhattan civil court as a prelude to a possible lawsuit, although it’s yet not clear whom she might sue. Meanwhile, she is facing criminal charges of stalking Cashman and extorting thousands of dollars from him, harassing her ex-husband and another man and lying to a grand jury. She has pleaded not guilty and is jailed on $300,000 bond. The Manhattan district attorney’s office says Neathway deluged Cashman with calls and text messages, demanded money for a medical procedure and threatened to harm his reputa-

tion if he didn’t pay. In response, he paid her $6,000, according to a court complaint. She was arrested in February. Neathway, a 36-year-old medical sales worker originally from Britain, said in the sworn statement she filed Monday that she and the then-married Cashman were friends for about six years before they began a nine-month affair in April 2011. When told she was pregnant with his baby in June 2011, Cashman said he wouldn’t participate in raising the child, she said in the document. She said she decided on an abortion, and he then insisted on providing her a fake ID. “He also took care in finding a clinic to provide the abortion service and car service for me on the day of the procedure,” she said in the papers, which she filed without a lawyer.

Phelps’ stretch tops Lochte in freestyle

Duo is stealing the show at the qualifier for next month’s Olympic Games in London. By PAUL NEWBERRY AP National Writer

Michael Phelps smiles after winning the men’s 200-meter freestyle final at the U.S. Olympic swimming trials on Wednesday in Omaha, Neb. At left is Ryan Lochte.

Coming back to the pool just 20 minutes after qualifying for the final of the 200 freestyle, the 17-year-old “Missile” chased down Coughlin on the return lap to win with an American record of 58.85. “I have dreamed of this moment, but I never thought it would come true at 17 years old,” Franklin said. “Dreams do come true.” Coughlin got off to a typically strong start and was under world-record pace at the turn. But the 29-year-old couldn’t hold off two teenagers. Eighteen-yearold Rachel Bootsma got past the 11-time Olympic medalist, as well, claiming the second Olympic spot in 59.49. Coughlin was third in 1:00.06 and has only one more chance to make her third Olympic team: the 100 freestyle. She swam over to congratulate Franklin in the middle of the pool, but her chances of making a third straight Olympic team are hanging in the balance. She hopes to have a shot at winning at least one medal in London, which would pull her even with Jenny Thompson and Dara Torres as the most decorated U.S. female Olympians. “I did exactly what I needed to do tonight and gave it my best. That’s really all you can ask for,” Coughlin said. “I have won two golds in that. I am very proud of

what I’ve done in the 100 backstroke and it’s time for Missy and Bootsma.” Thompson and Torres each have 12 medals, and the 45-yearold Torres is back trying to make one more Olympic team. She has entered only one event in Omaha and has yet to swim. Coughlin is down to her last chance in 2012. “It’s not exactly what I was hoping for coming into this,” she said. “I’m a little bummed, but not nearly as much as everyone is expecting me to be. You’re walking around the pool deck and people are acting like you’re dying or something. I have another shot to make the team in the 100 free, and I’m looking forward to that. For the rest of this season, I’m a freestyler.” In another final Wednesday, Breeja Larson pulled off a huge upset in the 100 breaststroke, beating Rebecca Soni and worldrecord holder Jessica Hardy. Soni rallied to get the second spot on the team, but Hardy finished third — about a half-second too slow to earn a spot in London.

She was eager for redemption after missing out on the 2008 Olympics because of a failed doping test, which resulted in a one-year suspension. Also, Matt Grevers captured the men’s 100 backstroke with the second-fastest time ever, 52.08. Nick Thoman finished second in 52.86 to claim the second spot on the Olympic team. Lochte said he went out too slow in the beginning of the 200 free, a mistake he intends to correct when he gets to London. Phelps’ winning time was nearly 3 seconds slower than his goldmedal effort in Beijing, though that was aided by high-tech bodysuits, which have since been banned by the world governing body. “We didn’t really try to pick it up until, like, the last 75, so I’ll save that for the Olympics,” Lochte said. “I was just really relaxed for the first 125, and then the last 75, I was like, ‘All right, now we’ve got to put it in gear.’ So I kind of waited a little late, but I’ll take it.” They’ll have one more showdown in Omaha, facing off in the 200 individual medley. Then it’s off to the meet that really matters, where Phelps is plotting another eight-event program in what he says will be his final Olympics, giving him a chance to match his record performance four years ago.

A walk and another bases loaded at-bat later, Deno forced a grounder to end the inning. “Tip our hats to (Deno), he pitched a great game,” Segedy said. “But our hitting wasn’t timely.

OMAHA, Neb. — Round 2 goes to Michael Phelps. Getting back at rival Ryan Lochte, Phelps stretched out to win a thrilling 200-meter freestyle at the U.S. Olympic trials Wednesday night, setting up a duel in London that just gets more tantalizing with every race between the world’s two greatest swimmers. Lochte won the 400 individual medley on the opening night of the games, his third straight major victory over the winningest Olympian ever. But Phelps isn’t going down that easily. He got off to a stronger start that usual, leading at the first turn and holding the advantage through all four laps. Both swimmers got a big boost off the final turn, cutting through the water like missiles, and Lochte went stroke for stroke down the stretch. But Phelps stretched out his right arm at the wall, touching just ahead of Lochte. The winning time was 1 minute, 45.70 seconds — five-hundredths of a second ahead of Lochte. “Obviously it’s been a while, so it felt better” to beat Lochte, Phelps said. “But there’s still some things I can improve on.” Phelps’ victory was even more impressive given his busy night. He didn’t even have time to celebrate, hustling back to the warmdown pool to get ready for the semifinals of the 200 butterfly. He came back 40 minutes later to post the third-fastest qualifying time, moving on to Thursday night’s final looking to lock up a chance to defend the gold he won at the last two Olympics. “I feel old,” the 26-year-old Phelps quipped. “Just getting in the water to race is what motivates me.” Speaking of busy, Missy Franklin left no doubt that she is swimming’s next big star with a stunning performance in the 100 backstroke, signaling a changing of the guard in an event Natalie Coughlin captured at the last two Olympics.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Francisco Cervelli came through in the clutch, delivering a tie-breaking single to left in the bottom of the seventh inning to lead the Scarnton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees to a 3-2 win over the Gwinnett Braves on Wednesday night at Frontier Field. The Yankees struck first in the bottom half of the fifth inning on an RBI single to center off the bat of Ronnier Mustelier. Chris Dickerson, who reached with a single and took second when Cervelli was hit by a pitch, scored on the Mustelier hit. Brandon Laird extended the Yankees lead to 2-0 with a solo blast to left – his fourth of the season -- in the bottom of the sixth. Luis Durango singled home J.C. Boscan to open the Braves’ scoring in the top of the seventh, following a double by Boscan and a single by Jose Constanza. With two outs, Felix Pie reached on an error to load the bases, and Ruben Gotay walked to tie the game 2-2. Veteran right-hander Ramon Ortiz was terrific yet again for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He pitched six innings of shutout ball, allowing six hits. Manny Delcarmen was on the mound when the Yankees took the lead

NEW YORK — Andy Pettitte broke his ankle on the same day the Yankees put CC Sabathia on the disabled list, but Robinson Cano hit a goahead homer to help New York beat the Cleveland Indians 5-4 Wednesday for a three-game sweep. The AL East leaders face at least two starts without Sabathia and at least six weeks without Pettitte, the 40-yearold veteran who came out of retirement and had filled in admirably for a pitching staff hit hard by injuries — including the loss of starter Michael Pineda and closer Mariano Rivera. Pettitte fractured his fibula near his left ankle in the fifth inning when he was hit by Casey Kotchman’s line drive. Before the game, the Yankees announced Sabathia strained his groin against the Mets on Sunday night and still felt discomfort after throwing in the bullpen Tuesday.

T H I S D A T E I N B A S E B A L L June 28 1907 — Twelve Washington baserunners stole against catcher Branch Rickey as the Senators defeated the New York Yankees 16-5. 1910 — Joe Tinker of the Chicago Cubs became the first major leaguer to steal home twice in the same game, an 11-1 win over Cincinnati. 1919 — Carl Mays of Boston pitched two complete games against the New York Yankees. The Red Sox won the first game 2-0 and lost the nightcap 4-1. 1949 — Joe DiMaggio played his first series of the year after a bone spur operation and hit .455, with four home runs and nine RBIs, as the New York Yankees swept Boston at Fenway Park. 1970 — Pittsburgh swept the Chicago Cubs 3-2 and 4-1 in the Pirates’ final games at Forbes Field. 1984 — Dwight Evans of the Boston Red Sox completed the cycle with a three-run 11th-inning homer to beat the Seattle Mariners 9-6. 1986 — Phil Niekro of the Cleveland Indians and Don Sutton of the California Angels became the first 300-game winners to start against each other in this century. Neither Niekro nor Sutton got a decision as the Angels scored six runs in the bottom of the eighth to win 9-3. 1987 — Mark McGwire homered twice to tie a major league record with five homers over two games, and Steve Ontiveros pitched a two-hitter as the Oakland Athletics beat the Cleveland Indians 10-0. 1994 — Matt Williams tied Willie Stargell’s 1971 NL record for home runs before July with his 28th in San Francisco’s 7-4 loss to Los Angeles. 2004 — David Bell became the first Philadelphia Phillies player in almost nine years to hit for the cycle as the Phillies beat Montreal 14-6. 2007 — Frank Thomas hit his 500th home run to become the 21st major leaguer to reach the career mark. Thomas hit a three-run shot in the first inning, connecting against Minnesota’s Carlos Silva. 2007 — Craig Biggio became the 27th player in major league history to get 3,000 hits in Houston’s 8-5 11-inning victory over Colorado. Biggio singled to center field in the seventh inning for the milestone hit and was thrown out trying to stretch the play into a double. The 41-year-old finished 5-for-6 with an RBI and a run scored. 2008 — Jered Weaver and Jose Arredondo combined to no-hit the Los Angeles Dodgers, but the Angels lost 1-0. It was the fifth game in the majors since 1900 in which the winning team didn’t get a hit, and first since Boston’s Matt Young lost one in 1992. 2009 — Mariano Rivera earned his 500th save, becoming the second reliever to reach the milestone, and the New York Yankees beat the Mets 4-2 for a Subway Series sweep. Rivera got four outs, securing the Yankees’ victory. Rivera even contributed offensively by drawing a bases-loaded walk from Francisco Rodriguez in the ninth for his first career RBI. It was the third regular-season plate appearance for the 39-year-old closer — and second in five days. 2011 — Jason Bay and Carlos Beltran hit grand slams in consecutive innings — after the New York Mets had gone nearly two years without one — of a 14-3 win over Detroit. Bay and Beltran cleared the bases in the fourth and fifth innings off Daniel Schlereth. Today's birthday: Brandon Phillips 31.

It’s not the Open of course, but still …

100 ANNOUNCEMENTS 110

BETHESDA, Md. — Jim Furyk must feel as if he’s going from one U.S. Open to another one. During a practice round at Congressional for the AT&T National, he stood on the first tee and planned to hit driver over the right edge of the bunker, bouncing it up the fairway toward the green, just like he has the other three times he played it as a PGA Tour event. Only there was one problem. The bunker no longer hugged the left side. The fairway was so narrow that the bunker was 10 yards into the rough. “I went, ‘Oh, wow.’ Looked at my caddie and said, ‘The cut lines are still the same as they were at the Open last year,”’ Furyk said. On the par-3 second hole, the wind was so strong into him that he hit a 3-wood onto the front of the green. A year ago at the U.S. Open, the greens were so soft from heavy rain that it would have taken a few hops and rolled to a stop. “It ended up on the back of the green,” Furyk said. “And it was into the breeze. I said, ‘OK, game on.’ Now I realize what I have to get ready for this week.” Congressional looks more like a U.S. Open course than the U.S. Open did last year. The fairways are tight. The rough is thick and ankle-deep in spots, and this was after they cut it down a few weeks ago. The greens are firm and bouncy. It has all the trappings of a U.S. Open, and Congressional has hosted three of them. But this is just the AT&T National. “I’m sure we’ll see U.S. Opentype conditions, probably a lot firmer and faster than they were here when we played the U.S. Open,” Davis Love III said. “I think it’s going to play tough.” The USGA was at the mercy of the weather last year — difficult conditions during the growing season, overnight rain during the championship that didn’t allow the course to dry out. The result was a record score by Rory McIlroy, who finished on 16-under 268 for an eight-shot win. McIlroy isn’t back this year because he loves home just a little more than he loves Congressional. The Irish Open is this week at Royal Portrush in his native Northern Ireland, a revered course that has produced the first four-day sellout in European Tour history. Tiger Woods is back, even though he wasn’t at Congressional last year. Woods wound up missing the middle two majors in 2011 to fully recover from injuries to his left leg, so all he could do was watch from home as McIlroy shattered his U.S. Open scoring records. Woods previously was the only player to finish a U.S. Open in double figures under par (12 under), and he tied the Open scoring record at 272. McIlroy beat both those marks by four. In some respects, Woods can consider himself the defending champion. The last time the AT&T National was played at Congressional was in 2009, when he closed with a 67 to finish on 13under 267 for a one-shot win. But this isn’t the same course. It was played as a par 70 in 2009, with the sixth hole a long par 4. Now, the course is playing the same length as the U.S. Open, a par 71 at 7,569 yards, using some of the new tees the USGA had built for its premier championship. That includes the 466-yard third hole, the 470-yard fourth hole, and a 523-yard hole on the 18th. Whether it stays fast when the AT&T National gets under way today remains to be seen.

CEO: Energy fears inflated

B R I E F

Geisinger Health gets OK to buy Bloomsburg Hospital The integration of Bloomsburg Hospital and its affiliates into Geisinger Health System has received final approval from the Pennsylvania attorney general’s antitrust division and the federal court. The official date for transition to the new Geisinger-Bloomsburg Hospital and Geisinger-Bloomsburg Health Care Center is July 1. Geisinger said it is committed to employing the Bloomsburg work force, and employees in good standing at Bloomsburg Health System will become Geisinger employees.

We’re buying more homes Americans signed more contracts to buy previously occupied homes in May, matching the fastest pace in two years. The increase suggests consumers are gaining confidence in the housing market and a modest recovery will continue. The National Association of Realtors said Wednesday that its index of sales agreements increased to 101.1 last month from 95.5 in April. That matches March’s reading, the highest since April 2010, when a home-buying tax credit boosted sales. A reading of 100 is considered healthy.

Hugo Barra, director of Google product management, shows off the new Google Nexus7 tablet Wednesday at the Google I/O conference in San Francisco. The company hopes to make inroads against Apple’s iPad.

You have a new tablet choice SAN FRANCISCO — Google will sell a small tablet computer bearing its brand in a challenge to Amazon’s Kindle Fire. The Nexus 7 is designed specifically for Google Play, the online store that sells movies, music, books, apps and other content — the things Amazon.com Inc. also sells for its tablet computer. Both tablets have screens that measure 7 inches diagonally, smaller than the nearly 10 inches on Apple’s iPad. The Nexus 7 will be light — at about12 ounces, compared with the Kindle

New vehicle prices have dropped $500 on average in the past year, mainly because Japanese automakers have restocked dealers after car shortages in 2011, according to the Kelley Blue Book auto pricing service. Models from Japanese automakers such as the Toyota Prius and Honda Accord have seen the biggest declines, while Detroit’s models haven’t dropped quite as much, KBB said Wednesday. Toyota, Honda and smaller Japanese automakers ran short of cars after an earthquake and tsunami hit Japan in March of 2011.

THE END OF the Space Shuttle program and the emerging viability of commercial space flight seem to have stolen some of NASA’s thunder. Despite that, NASA is enjoying a string of successful missions to Mars and Saturn. Even the Voyager probes launched in the late 1970s are still returning useful data – Voyager 1 is more than 11 billion miles away from Earth. It’s the most distant manmade object, and will soon be the first to leave the solar system. NASA is doing some pretty exciting things closer to home (relatively speaking). The last two rovers that were sent to Mars, named Spirit and Opportunity, have been extraordinarily successful. They were supposed to last about three months, but Op-

system, called Jelly Bean. Although the tablet carries the Google brand, the machine will be made by AsusTek Computer Inc. Google also recently expanded into the device-making business with its $12.5 billion purchase of Motorola Mobility, but the company has stressed that it intends to continue to rely on Asus and other manufacturers that have embraced Android. There are already other Androidpowered tablets on the market, but none have proven nearly as popular as the iPad or Kindle Fire. That has raised worries at Google as more people rely on tablets to surf the Internet.

NEW YORK — ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson says fears about climate change, drilling and energy dependence are overblown. In a speech Wednesday, Tillerson acknowledged that burning fossil fuels is warming the planet, but said society will be able to adapt. The risks of oil and gas drilling are well understood and can be mitigated, he said. And dependence on other nations Tillerson for oil is not a concern as long as access to supply is certain, he said. Tillerson blamed a public that is “illiterate” in science and math, a “lazy” press, and advocacy groups that “manufacture fear” for energy misconceptions in a speech at the Council on Foreign Relations. He highlighted that huge discoveries of oil and gas in North America have reversed a 20-year decline in U.S. oil production in recent years. Tillerson, in a break with predecessor Lee Raymond, has acknowledged that global temperatures are rising. “Clearly there is going to be an impact,” he said Wednesday. Tillerson expressed frustration at the level of public concern over new drilling techniques that tap natural gas and oil in shale formations under several states. He said environmental advocacy groups that “manufacture fear” have alarmed a public that doesn’t understand drilling practices — or math, science or engineering in general. He blamed “lazy” journalists for producing stories that scare the public but don’t investigate the claims of advocacy groups. Drilling for oil and gas will always involve risks of spills and accidents, he said. But those risks are manageable and worth taking because they are small given the amount of energy they produce.

Customers can start ordering it through Google on Wednesday, initially in the U.S., Canada and Australia. Andrew Rassweiler, an analyst with IHS iSuppli, said he suspects Google will be subsidizing the tablet to sell it starting at $199. The Nexus 7 has more features than the Kindle, including a front-facing camera. The Kindle is believed to be roughly break even at that price.

Today marks my 30th anniversary working for WNEP-TV. Wow! And I still have all my hair after all those blizzards and floods. I simply count my blessings for having such a long tenure at a great station. Indeed I’ve seen lots of change along the way, especially with how improvements in technology have changed the way we analyze the weather and how we present the weather on TV. I’ll submit to you that the accuracy of forecasting today is probably much better than it was 30 years ago, thanks in large part to the advances made with computer modeling of the atmosphere. Have a great day! - Tom Clark

ames Spargo played a guessing game at South Abington Park as he ran among several red circles on the concrete, each painted around a fountain that would shoot water at random times. The 4-year-old weaved in and out, thinking he knew which was going to erupt next, running to the nearest one that did when he was wrong. • “He’s usually angsty around water,” his mother, Kristi, said. “Not today, though. He loves this.” “Love” may have been an understatement. Everyone surrounding the area erupted in laughter as James leaned into a spraying jet, letting it hit and bounce off his forehead before running away giggling. Kristi, who now lives in Harrisburg with her family, is originally from the area and was excited to bring the boys to the park, which not only has a water section but plenty of other amenities. The water area, though, has been a popular place to be on hot days for quite some time now. “I can remember bringing my daughters here when they were little, and they loved it. Well, they still do,” Michelle Walter of Archbald said, pointing to her daughters Amanda, 18, and Emily, 14, who were watching

If U.S. birth rates — declining steadily since 2007 — stay at their current level, the average woman is expected to give birth to exactly1.9 children in her lifetime. And until we figure out how to raise 90 percent of a child, we’re going to focus on that first number: 1. Only children are far from an anomaly: 15 million households had exactly one child in 2011, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Single-child families, in fact, have been equaling or outnumbering two-child familiesformostofthe2000s,accordingtofederal Current Population Survey statistics. But they do present a set of parenting circumstances that is altogether different from the challenges of raising two or more children. “One family size is not better than another,” says social psychologist Susan Newman, author of “The Case for the Only Child: Your Essential Guide” (HCI). “Just like having a set of twins is different than having four children, how you approach raising one child is different than how you approach raising more than one.” As more families hold steady at one child, Newman says it’s important, first and foremost, to let go of stubborn, misguided stereotypes of onlies as lonely or socially maladjusted — ideas that have been disproved by study after study for more than 30 years. “You want them to Especially, she go away on retreats says, because and sleep-away the stereocamps. It teaches types took root in the late them how to live 19th century, with their peers and when childultimately prepares rearing looked quite different them for when they from today. go away to college.” Harvard Jennifer Powell-Lunder psychologist Child psychologist G. Stanley Hall set only children on a long and stigma-filled path when he released a study in1896 that declared, “Being an only child is a disease in itself.” (He was also a strong proponent of selective breeding and forced sterilization, but that’s neither here nor there.) Newman has spent the past few decades researchingonlies,atopicshetouchesonfrequently in her “Psychology Today” blog and her 2001 book, “Parenting an Only Child” (Doubleday/Broadway). “Children no longer live isolated on farms,” Newman says. “Today we have day care and nursery school and after-school activities that don’t end until 7 o’clock at night. It’s during these activities that only children learn sharing and caring and empathy and how to interact with others and stand up for themselves in much the same ways they would if they had siblings.” Still, what happens (or doesn’t happen) at home profoundly affects the way children go through the world, which is why experts advise parents of onlies to tailor their style accordingly. Play your way. “Let your child know that other people get a say,” Newman says. “If your child always wants to play Candyland, tell him, ‘I’ll play a game with you, but I feel like playing Chutes and Ladders.’ Encourage attention-giving in your child, so he learns to pay attention to others and what they want.” Raise a groupie. “Encourage team sports and group activities like band,” Newman says. “Unless you have a child who is an extremely talented pianist or an ace tennis player, seek mostly group activities.” Send them away. As your child gets older, find ways for him or her to join those teams or groups on overnight getaways. “You want them to go away on retreats and sleep-away See CHILD, Page 2C

camps,” says child psychologist Jennifer Powell-Lunder. “It teaches them how to live with their peers and ultimately prepares them for when they go away to college.” Think big. “With one child, it’s very simple to pick up their dishes from the table and put them in the dishwasher and pick up their laundry and do their homework with them,” Newman says. “But your child needs responsibilities. Before you do something for your child, ask yourself, ‘Would I be doing this if I had two or three or four kids?’ Because you’re doing your child a disservice if you don’t let him have any responsibilities.” Step aside. “Parents can become very enmeshed in the friend, confidant role with an only child,” Powell-Lunder says. “It can be helpful to encourage a relationship with

other adults around you — a favorite aunt or some other adult they can turn to as support so they’re not taking all their cues from you.” When it comes time to talk puberty and dating and other sensitivetopics,don’tfeeldiscouragedif your child seeks someone else’s input — just as a child might turn to an older sibling for advice. “Sometimes only children even will go to their best friend’s mom, and that’s OK,” says Powell-Lunder, who cowrote “Teenage as a Second Language: A Parent’s Guide to Becoming Bilingual” (Adams Media). Leave them alone. One benefit oflivingwithoutsiblingsis...living without siblings. Don’t feel like you have to fill the space. “Many parents of only children worry about how much time their children spend alone,” Newman says. “You should absolutely not worry about that. We’re all alone at some point in our lives, and time alone teaches the child how to be happy and productive by himself; it encourages creativity and finding positive ways to fill your time.”

FACT VS. FICTION Social psychologist Susan Newman tackles some common myths about only children in her books, “The Case for the Only Child: Your Essential Guide” and “Parenting an Only Child: The Joys and Challenges of Raising Your One and Only,” portions of which are adapted below. Myth: Only children are aggressive and bossy. Fact: Only children learn quickly that attempting to run the show doesn’t work with friends, and a bossy, aggressive attitude is a quick ticket to ostracism from the group. Lacking siblings, only children want to be included and well-liked. Myth: Only children are spoiled. Fact: Researchers have found that only children are not particularly spoiled and found no difference in only children’s relationships with friends when studied with children who had siblings. Myth: Only children are selfish. Fact: Every child at one time or another believes the world revolves around him. “Selfish means you are thinking of yourself as opposed to others,” explains Michael Lewis, professor of pediatrics and psychiatry at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Brunswick, N.J. “The youngster who is unable to take the view of another is going to appear selfish. There are points in people’s lives, one of them being adolescence, when the energy is withdrawn. Hormonal changes and physical growth during that time may be particularly harsh, and the energy to focus on others just isn’t there.”

In the absence of siblings, parents cultivate the tools of sharing and feeling for others and are the best early teachers because of trust and faith children have in their parents. All parents can expect their children to act selfishly at times. Myth: Only children must have their way. Fact: Children with siblings often have more “who’s the boss” difficulties because they are constantly forced to share toys, television times and parents. Kindergarten teacher Deejay Schwartz observes: “It’s the ones who have been jostled and have had to compete who are always trying to push someone down, to be first in line or yell louder in order to be heard. Onlies have always been heard at home, and therefore function in a very calm way.” Myth: Only children are dependent. Fact: Because of adult guidance and lack of siblings to lean on, only children are more self-reliant than those who have brothers and sisters to fend for them. Myth: Only children become too mature too quickly. Fact: Children with siblings relate and talk to their siblings rather than their parents. The only child’s primary role models are parents. The result is that only children copy adult behavior as well as adult speech patterns and develop good reasoning skills early on, making them better equipped to handle the ups and downs of growing up.

THURSDAY, JUNE 28, 2012 PAGE 7C

Belated honeymoon at Disney World is for the husband and wife only Dear Abby: My husband and I have been married 15 years. We skipped the honeymoon after our wedding so we could save up for our 15th anniversary, which we will celebrate this summer. We plan to stay at Disney World. When I mentioned it to my sisterin-law, she said, “It’s silly to go to a place like Disney World without a child or two,” and asked me if we would bring her son and his friend. I refused. She then accused us of being childish and selfish. I agree that going to Disney World may be childish — that’s the whole point — but selfish? Do you agree with that? — Child at Heart

DEAR ABBY ADVICE Dear Child: No, I do not. For your sister-in-law to have said what she did was rude and nervy. Unless the children were yours and you wanted them to accompany you, a honeymoon is for the couple celebrating their marriage. Shame on her. Dear Abby: I am 26 and have been dating a nice man for three months. Recently, he has talked about taking me to a family celebration in another state. The conversation prompted me to initiate a discussion about where we are in our relationship. He explained that he feels it’s too early

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

for us to be an official couple. But he does want me to meet his parents. I don’t see why I should invest the time and energy to meet his family if he’s still thinking about dating other people. Do you agree? — Nervous in D.C. Dear Nervous: I sure don’t. When a man wants you to meet his family, it’s a compliment. It doesn’t necessarily mean he has marriage on his mind. If you are interested in him with an eye on becoming a couple, accept his invitation. It will give you a chance to see what kind of family he comes from and how they treat each other, which is valuable insight. If you refuse the invitation for the reason you stated, I’d be surprised if the relationship developed further.

CRYPTOQUOTE

Dear Abby: Please help with something that has been on my mind for years. I am one of your male readers. I have a sister, “Eileen,” who is a bit older. We had a wonderful childhood and are close. When Eileen entered college, she became pregnant. Because she was unmarried, she and Mom went to a different city and she had the baby. I believe the child was placed for adoption. I don’t know if it was a boy or girl. Eileen returned home, finished college, got married and now has a family. It was never mentioned again. I sometimes wonder if she thinks about the baby she had. I think about it a lot and wonder if I should ask her, or if it’s too painful for her to discuss after all these years. I sometimes think I

have a niece or nephew out there and wonder what he or she is like. Should I ask my sister or just leave it alone? — Wistful Out West Dear Wistful: I’m sure your sister also sometimes thinks about the child she placed for adoption and wonders what he or she is like. However, unless she raises the subject with you, my advice is to leave it alone. If it has never been mentioned again, there is a good reason for it. To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The lotus symbol of creation and purity may have special meaning to you now as you come to a new venture with a pure heart and the sole intention of making something beautiful. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Mastering a new skill is nothing but placing your continued attention on it. Therefore, you can relax knowing that it’s not about you and whether you’re good enough to “get” it. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your exterior casing is not who you really are, but it sure makes a difference as to how you feel about yourself. The outer informs the inner. You’ll work on both at the same time today. CANCER (June 22-July 22). In order to learn courage, there has to be something to fear. And patience can’t be learned without a frustrating or annoying element present. Obstacles are a gift. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Love is something you can’t hold on to, because it really isn’t love until you give it away. You’ll be actively showing others and yourself what feelings in motion look like. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The day brings a dilemma. Is it more important to be true to yourself, or to try to be better than who you are? Whatever you decide, it will be the right decision because you’ll make it mindfully. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Albert Einstein suggested that the tragedy of life is what dies inside a man while he lives. To prevent these kinds of soul sacrifices, feed your need for fun.

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). Whether your task for the day is high or humble, it is important. Doing the job with reverence can be a transcendent experience both for you and for those you help with your work. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). People look up to you. Knowing this, you may feel some pressure to act in a certain way — like yourself, only more formal. Really, it’s not necessary. The casual version of you will do just fine. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Potential distractions and obstacles are cleared before you wake. Today, you make up your mind about what you’re going to do, and you do it. Nothing could be simpler. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A ship is safe in port, and it’s also quite useless there. The same goes with your talent. You have the potential to go somewhere with it, but you have to risk the open waters to do so. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You wisely realize that what’s happening around you isn’t the only thing that contributes to your happiness, and yet it’s awfully nice when circumstances favor you and even seem to rally to make you smile. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 28). Your faith is strong, and when you believe something is possible, you pursue it with great conviction. A brilliant move pumps up your professional life in August. Travel will expand horizons. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 25, 48, 2 and 17.
