HEALTH CARE OVERHAUL DEBATE
HIGH COURT KEEPS LAW ALIVE
Area mixed on landmark court decision
Historic ruling upholds Obama’s massive health care overhaul. GOP vows repeal. By MARK SHERMAN Associated Press
WASHINGTON — In a momentous ruling touching virtually every American, the Supreme Court narrowly upheld President Barack Obama’s historic health care overhaul Thursday with the unlikely help of conservative Chief Justice John Roberts. But the decision also gave Republicans unexpected ammunition to energize supporters in the battle for the White House and to fight “Obamacare” as a new tax on people who don’t obtain health insurance. Roberts’ vote, along with those of the court’s four liberal justices, preserved the largest expansion of the nation’s social safety net in more than 45 years, including the hotly debated core requirement that nearly everyone have health insurance or pay a penalty. The aim is to extend coverage to more than 30 million people who now are uninsured The 5-4 decision meant the huge overhaul, still taking effect, could proceed and pick up momentum over the next several years, with an impact on the way that countless Americans receive and pay for their personal medi-

cal care. The ruling handed Obama a campaign-season victory in rejecting arguments that Congress went too far in approving the plan. However, Republicans quickly indicated they would try to use the decision against him.
At the White House, Obama declared, “Whatever the politics, today’s decision was a victory for people all over this country.” Blocks away, GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney renewed his criticism of the overhaul, calling it “bad law” and promising to
work to repeal it if elected in November. Demonstrators for and against the law crowded the grounds outside the Supreme Court Building on Capitol Hill as Roberts, sitting at the center of the nine blackrobed justices inside, announced

WILKES-BARRE -- Steve Simko, a father of four, spoke glowingly about the personal impact of President Obama’s signature health care reform law as he led a group of supporters at a rally on Public Square on Thursday. Simko, 64, of Harding, Simko will soon retire as an electrical engineer but wishes to care for his daughter, a 21-year-old who’s pregnant with her second child, and his mother, an 89year-old on dialysis. “In my retirement, I’ll be using all the Medicaid and Medicare available to me. But until then, my daughter will be covered on my plan under the new law,” said Simko, because the Affordable Care Act allows children to stay on their parents’ plans until age 26. Regional health insurers, health providers and individuals lauded the Supreme Court’s decision Thursday to uphold the law. Others chided the court for its ruling and the president and Congress for approving it in the first place. They vowed to continue to try to repeal it. “It’s a great day for health care in America,” said Dr. Dorothy Anthony, a licensed chiropractor and nutritionist. See RALLY, Page 6A

Homeless and losing hope
Women living in shelter told of losing assistance even before budget is passed.

WILKES-BARRE – Homeless for about two years now, Martha Hart was looking forward to finally moving in to her own place next week. Her hopes were dashed on Wednesday when she received her mail at Ruth’s Place shelter for women and opened a letter from the state Department of Public Welfare. The letter said her twice-a-month general assistance cash payments that total $205 per month would cease as of July 1. “My housing was approved, I could move in tomorrow,” said Hart, 54. “But I’m still waiting on an appeal for Social Security Disability. I won’t be able to pay my rent without cash assistance.” In addition to other cuts, Gov. Tom Corbett’s latest budget proposal includes the elimination of

PITTSTON – Kristen Price stayed up late watching television in her North Main Street house early Thursday morning when she smelled smoke from a fire that killed her neighbor. Price said she went outside and immediately noticed the odor becoming stronger. “I walked up to the front and the yard was filled with smoke and I looked down the driveway and smoke was just coming out the basement door,” Price said. Price was unable to go inside the neighbor’s house at 757 N. Main St. to find Sharon Walko. Walko, 61, was found dead in the kitchen by firefighters. Luzerne County Acting Coroner Bill Lisman said Walko died from carbon monoxide poisoning. Her death was ruled an accident, Lisman said. No autopsy is scheduled. It is the second fatal fire in Pittston in the last eight days.

AG held in contempt over gun bungle More than 100 Dems boycott vote
By LARRY MARGASAK Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Attorney General Eric Holder on Thursday became the first Cabinet member held in contempt of Congress, a rebuke pushed by Republicans seeking to unearth the facts behind a bungled gun-tracking operation and dismissed by most Democrats as a political stunt. The vote was 255-67, with more than 100 Democrats boycotting. African-American lawmakers led the walkout as members filed up the aisle and out of the chamber to protest the action against Holder, who is the nation’s first black attorney general. Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California joined the boycott, saying Republicans had gone “over the edge” in their partisanship.
Seventeen Democrats voted with Republicans in favor of the contempt vote, while two Republicans — Reps. Scott RiHolder gell of Virginia and Steven LaTourette of Ohio — joined other Democrats in voting against it. The National Rifle Association pressed hard for the contempt resolution, leaning on members of both parties who want to stay in the NRA’s good graces. Andrew Arulanandam, an NRA spokesman, said all 17 Democrats who voted for criminal contempt had previously received an “A” grade from the organization. Holder said afterward that the vote was merely a politically mo-
Shickshinny to demolish flood homes By TOM HUNTINGTON Times Leader Correspondent
SHICKSHINNY – Stell Enterprises of Plains Township, with a bid of $131,824, was designated at a special council meeting Thursday evening as the “apparent low bidder” to raze 14 flood-damaged dwellings in the borough. Stell was one of four contractors submitting proposals. Official awarding of the bid is pending a review of Stell’s bid bond and other required documentation by Gregory Supey of the engineering firm of Joe Hunt and Associates LLC of New Milford and legal review by borough solicitor Jeff Malak. Supey is serving as the borough’s project engineer. His findings may be discussed at Tuesday’s council meeting. The project is federally funded under a Hazard Mitigation Grant Program instituted in Shickshinny as the result of the flood of 2011. Ownership of the properties has reverted to the borough and, according Melissa Weber, secretary-treasurer, the site will become open space. During discussion at the bid opening, it was stated the contractor will not only be responsible for demolition but also removal of all debris and backfilling, grading and seeding of the properties. Some objection to the process was voiced by a borough resident, Walt Sims, but council, with three of five members in attendance, voted 3-0 to forward Stell’s bid for engineering review and legal review. The flood zone properties scheduled for demolition were owned by: Thomas Dillinger, 160 N. Canal St. Edward & Nancy Whitesell, 180 N. Susquehanna Ave. Paul Whiteman, 22 S. Canal St. Luzerne County, 20 S. Canal St. Amy Noss, 33 N. Main St. Roger & Colleen Noss Jr., 58 N. Susquehanna Ave. Robert Appleby Jr., 43 N. Canal St. Gary and Suzanne Latorre, 54 N. Susquehanna Ave. Arlene H. Gensel-Cora, 43 E. Butler St. Frank McQuown, 126-128 N. Susquehanna Ave. Paula Winn and Irving Wolfe Sr., 152 N. Susquehanna Ave. Estate of Elaine Kost, 41 N. Canal St. Weber said negotiations for the acquisition of four other properties are still under being conducted. During a work session, council discussed the Vine Street project, Crary Park and restoration of the municipal building and voted to present a protest to Wells Fargo Bank about the presence of unsightly debris at the bank’s property at West Union and Main Streets. Council President Rosalie Whitebread also acknowledged volunteer cleanup work this week by students from Scranton Prep.
tivated act in an election year “Today’s vote may make for good political theater in the minds of some, but it is — at base — both a crass effort and a grave disservice to the American people. They expect — and they deserve — far better,” Holder said in New Orleans. The attorney general said the House vote would result in an unnecessary court fight. Republicans “were not interested in bringing an end to this dispute or even obtaining the information they say they wanted,” he said. “Ultimately, their goal was the vote that — with the help of special interests — they now have engineered.” Republicans cited Holder’s refusal to hand over — without any preconditions — documents that could explain why the Obama administration initially denied that
a risky “gun-walking” investigative tactic was used in Operation Fast and Furious, which allowed hundreds of guns to be smuggled from Arizona to Mexico. The vote on a criminal contempt resolution sent the matter to the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, who is under Holder. A separate vote on civil contempt passed 258-95 with 21 Democrats supporting it. It will allow the House to go to court in an effort to force Holder to turn over the documents. In past cases, courts have been reluctant to settle disputes between the executive and legislative branches of government. During the debate before the vote, Republicans said they were seeking answers for the Michigan family of Brian Terry, a Border Patrol agent killed in December 2010 in a shootout with Mexican bandits. Two guns from Fast and Furious were found at the
Frank Zappa lives!
By BRAD PATTON For The Times Leader
WILKES-BARRE -- Nearly 20 years after the death of its composer, the music of Frank Zappa sprung back to life Thursday at the F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts. Dweezil Zappa, the composer’s now 42-year-old son, and his stellar Zappa Plays Zappa band dug deep into the elder Zappa’s catalog for a small but thoroughly enraptured crowd at the WilkesBarre theater. The younger Zappa spent more than two years learning his father’s repertoire before bringing the first incarnation of “Zappa Plays Zappa” to the stage in 2006, and it shows in his performance. Not many could recreate the guitar work of Frank Zappa, but Dweezil Zappa comes closer than anyone else. The guitarist, former MTV VJ and occasional actor laid out his mission statement about half way through the concert: “As I talked with younger people, it became clear to me that they had no idea who Frank was. And I don’t want to let that happen in my lifetime.” Dweezil is a natural entertainer – about the only things more engrossing than his guitar playing are the stories he shares with the audience. Like the time when he was 12 years old and got to meet Eddie Van Halen, who

jammed with him (even though he had only been playing guitar for about six months at the time), his father and Steve Vai, who was the guitarist in Frank Zappa’s band at the time. Dweezil then played a notefor-note perfect version of Van Halen’s “Eruption.” The most fascinating tale was the one about “The Black Page,” a song that began life as a drum solo before Frank Zappa wrote the music
POLICE BLOTTER NANTICOKE – A man was arraigned Thursday in Wilkes-Barre Central Court on charges he struggled with police after he was found lying in the middle of a road. Wade Justin Thomas, 25, of West Broad Street, Nanticoke, was charged with resisting arrest, tampering with evidence, possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and public drunkenness. He was jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $5,000 bail. Police allege Thomas was found intoxicated and lying in the middle of Maple Street at about 11:20 p.m. Wednesday. Thomas stated he was walking a dog but police were unable to find a canine. Thomas ran from an officer and was stunned by a Taser four times before he swatted the Taser from an officer, according to the criminal complaint. Police allege Thomas was in possession of heroin packets and alcohol. A preliminary hearing is scheduled on July 5 before District Judge Donald Whittaker in Nanticoke.

around it. “No one ever said you couldn’t do it that way,” Dweezil Zappa said. “That’s what Frank’s music is all about, no rules and no boundaries.” The younger Zappa then told the crowd how he painstakingly learned the song, which required a whole new way of picking, which he likened to teaching himself how to walk differently after 42 years.
Hillside Avenue, Edwardsville, was arraigned Thursday in Wilkes-Barre Central Court on charges he operated a scooter stolen from Lakota’s Towing in Pittston Township. Miller was charged with receiving stolen property and released on $5,000 unsecured bail. Police allege Miller was driving the scooter he abandoned on Center Street at about 8:40 p.m. Wednesday. The scooter was stolen from a shed at Lakota’s Towing, according to the criminal complaint. A preliminary hearing is scheduled on July 5 before District Judge Andrew Barilla in Pittston.

“But I figured if I could play that song, then I could do some of these others.” And Dweezil Zappa was not the only virtuoso on the stage Thursday. Each of the supporting musicians – Scheila Gonzalez (saxophone, keyboards, vocals), Curt Morgan (bass), Chris Norton (keyboards, vocals), Joe Travers (drums, vocals) and Ben Thomas (vocals, percussion, trumpet) – were equally adept at bringing the challenging compositions to life. An early highlight of the evening’s performance was “Oh No” (a song Dweezil said they just learned for this tour), which segued into “Montana.” Another was the reggae-inflected “Take Your Clothes Off When You’re Dancing,” which Dweezil said was a perfect song for summer. The main set ended with a scorching “I Am The Slime,” and then the three-song encore was capped by a glorious rendition of “Carolina Hardcore Ecstasy” and an equally tasty number from the “Hot Rats” album. For those in the audience who only know of Frank Zappa from his sole Top 40 hit, 1982’s “Valley Girl” with his daughter Moon Unit, it was an excellent introduction to his not-easily-categorized music. And for those already in the cult of Zappa, it was a chance to relive some of the magic.

scene. Democrats insisted that they, too, wanted the Terry family to have all the facts, but argued that only a more thorough, bipartisan investigation would accomplish that. The NRA contended the administration wanted to use Operation Fast and Furious to win gun control measures. But a former NRA board member and the longest-serving House member, Rep. John Dingell of Michigan, argued gun control was not at issue. He failed in attempt to head off the contempt votes. In the debate, Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Calif., said the contempt motions were “Fast and foolish, fast and fake.” Rep. Rich Nugent, R-Fla., took the opposite view, arguing, “A man died serving his country, and we have a right to know what the federal government’s hand was in that.”

Two file late claims
Two plaintiffs who missed the cut-off date to file claims for part of Robert Mericle’s $17.75 million settlement of the “kids for cash” lawsuits have asked a judge to allow them to file the claims late. Attorneys for Samantha Humanik and Julia Jadush, mother of the late Dakota Jadush, filed a court motion Thursday seeking relief from a court order that directed all claims for the Mericle settlement be filed by May 13. According to the motion, Humanik moved several times and never received notification regarding the settlement. In Jadush’s case, Julia Jadush was unable to file a claim due to legal issues with the estate of her son, who died in May 2011. Mericle was the builder of two juvenile detention centers at the heart of the Luzerne County juvenile justice scandal. He agreed in December to settle a class-action lawsuit filed by juveniles who alleged they were improperly incarcerated by former Judge Mark Ciavarella. U.S. District Judge A. Richard Caputo had set deadlines relating to claims when gave preliminary approval to the settlement in February. The judge will now review the motions and issue a ruling at a later date.

WILKES-BARRE – After a member raised concerns, City Council on Thursday decided to delay voting on a $650,000, no-bid contract for Schneider Electric to install 62 surveillance cameras at the Intermodal Transportation Center.

Among the commission’s requirements were that the school show: • The administration was qualified to help the school achieve its goals. • There were assessments to measure the effectiveness of the administrative structures and services, student learning and the institution overall. • Measurable learning goals were instituted at the college, program and course levels.

Budget raises property taxes by 1 percent By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com
WILKES-BARRE – Wilkes-Barre Area School District residents will be paying 1 percent more in property taxes under the final 2012-13 budget approved Thursday at a special school board meeting. The increase will bump bills up about $10 for those who owned properties assessed at the median value of $72,400. The good news: Thanks to Act 1, the state law using gambling revenue to lower property taxes, eligible homeowners will see their bills reduced by nearly $212. In a 5-4 vote, the board approved a bud-
get that will take in a bit more than $98 million and spend $100.2 million. The shortfall of about $2.1 million will be covered using money from the fund balance, or surplus, currently hovering around $7.6 million. The budget raises taxes from 15.368 mills to 15.522 mills. When the board debated a preliminary budget in May, it unanimously rejected a proposed 2.4 percent property tax increase and voted 6-3 for no tax hike. When the final budget came up Thursday, it included the 1 percent increase. The compromise won “yes” votes from

Teacher wants charge tossed
Ex-Seminary music teacher’s attorney says girl never told teacher to stop kissing her. By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com
WILKES-BARRE – A former music teacher at Wyoming Seminary charged with kissing a girl has asked that at least one of the charges brought against him be dropped. Robert Lugiano, Jr., 41, of Jackson Township, said in court papers filed this week through his attorney, Robert Munley, that a charge of indecent assault should be thrown out because prosecutors do not have enough evidence to charge him with that crime. Lugiano was charged with corruption of minors and indecent assault after police alleged he drove a girl from Pittston Area High School to Wyoming Seminary Lower School for a music lesson on Nov. 11. While in his office, the girl said, Lugiano asked her for a hug and then kissed her multiple time, according to the complaint. The girl stated at a preliminary hearing that Lugiano kissed her “a few times on the lips.” She said he tried “to put his tongue in my mouth and I just kind of pressed my lips together.” Munley says the charge of indecent assault is defined as when “a person has indecent contact with the complainant and the person does so without the complainant’s consent.” At a March 26 preliminary hearing, Munley says the girl testified she and Lugiano were embracing. The girl, Munley says, never told Lugiano to stop kissing her and never tried to leave the room. “(Lugiano) denies (the girl’s) accusations, but even if (the girl’s) claims are accepted as true, her own testimony at the preliminary hearing fails to show the requisite lack of consent and the charge of indecent assault should be dismissed,” Munley wrote. Lugiano waived his formal arraignment in county court on May 25 and entered a plea of not guilty. Deputy Court Administrator Mike Shucosky scheduled a hearing on Lugiano and Munley’s request to be heard by a county judge on Aug. 13.

Damascus bomb kills three

BEIRUT — Turkey deployed anti-aircraft guns, rocket launchers and other weapons along its border with Syria on Thursday, a military buildup that came as world powers showed new urgency to resolve the crisis before it ignites the region. A bomb exploded in central Damascus near a busy market and the country’s main justice complex, wounding at least three people, damaging cars in a parking lot and sending a black cloud rising above the Syrian capital. It was not clear who was behind the bombing.
Much of the violence that has gripped Syria since the uprising began in March 2011 has been sanctioned by the government of President Bashar Assad to crush dissent. Activists say more than 14,000 people have been killed. But rebel fighters are launching increasingly deadly attacks on regime targets, and several massive suicide attacks this year suggest al-Qaida or other extremists are joining the fray. Assad told Iranian state TV Thursday that his country still supports him, and he warned that any intervention in Syria will cause a “domino” effect in the region. He has given similar warnings
before, saying the entire Middle East will go up in flames if others meddle in his country. Turkey, a former ally of Syria, has become one of the strongest critics of the Assad regime, and tensions between the two countries spiked following the downing of a Turkish military plane last week. A small convoy of Turkish military trucks towing anti-aircraft guns entered a military outpost in the border village of Guvecci, which faces a Syrian military outpost, according to TRT television video. Several anti-aircraft guns also have been deployed elsewhere along the border. Some trucks were seen carrying self-propelled multiple rocket launch-
ers, the video showed. Ties between Turkey and Syria have not been this low since the late 1990s, when the neighbors almost went to war. Tensions ran high in the 1980s and 1990s as Turkey developed military ties with Israel and Syria sheltered Turkish Kurd guerrilla leader Abdullah Ocalan. Now, Turkey is hosting civilian opposition groups as well as hundreds of military defectors who are affiliated with the rebel Free Syrian Army. Syria insists the Turkish military plane it shot down on June 22 had violated its airspace. Turkey says the jet had unintentionally strayed into Syria’s airspace and was inside international airspace when it was brought down over the Mediterranean by Syria.

Fire destroys 346 homes
By P. SOLOMON BANDA and THOMAS PEIPERT Associated Press
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — A raging Colorado wildfire that forced tens of thousands to flee destroyed an estimated 346 homes this week, making it the most destructive fire in the state’s history, officials said. From above, the destruction becomes painfully clear: Rows and rows of houses were reduced to smoldering ashes even as some homes just feet away survived largely intact. On one street, all but three houses had burned to their foundations, said Ryan Schneider, whose home is still standing in a neighborhood where 51 others were destroyed. “I was real happy at first.
Homes untouched by the Waldo Canyon fire stand next to homes burned to the ground in Colorado Springs, Colo.
My wife was happy,” he said. “The emotion of seeing the other homes, though, was instant sadness.” While the aerial photos showed the scope of one of the worst fires to hit the American West in decades,
they did little to help ease the concerns of many residents who still did not know the fate of homes. Amid the devastation in the foothills of Colorado Springs, there were hopeful signs. Flames advancing on the U.S.
Air Force Academy were stopped and cooler conditions could help slow the fire. Colorado Springs Mayor Steve Bach said the 346 estimate could change. A fire in northern Colorado, which is still burning, destroyed 257 homes and until Thursday was the most destructive in state history. More than 30,000 people frantically packed up belongings Tuesday night as the flames swept through their neighborhoods. While there’s no indication yet the blaze claimed any lives, fire officials said they would search each home looking for possible remains. Conditions were still too dicey to allow authorities to begin trying to figure out what sparked the blaze that has raged for much of the week.
Pa. House OKs GOP’s $27.7B plan
By PETER JACKSON Associated Press
HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania’s House of Representatives on Thursday approved a Republican-crafted spending plan, pushing it one step closer to enactment with the beginning of the state’s new fiscal year closing in. The 120-81 vote culminated more than three hours of debate over the $27.7 billion proposal for the 2012-13 fiscal year that starts Sunday. It sets the stage for a final Senate vote as early as today. The proposal was negotiated by GOP Gov. Tom Corbett, who originally advocated limiting spending to this year’s
$27.1 billion, and leaders of the Legislature’s Republican majorities, who convinced Corbett that tax collections are healthy enough to sustain hundreds of millions more. All but one Republican voted in favor it, while just 11 Democrats joined them. The plan boosts spending by 1.5 percent, mostly to cover the rising cost of health care and public-employee pensions, and provides new business tax cuts. It would hold public education spending level after this year’s 10 percent reduction — financially ailing school districts would see a little more aid — while cutting funds for county-run
social services and shutting down a Depression-era program that provides a $200-a-month cash benefit for disabled adults who are unable to work. “This is a fiscally responsible, but caring, prioritized budget,” House Majority Leader Mike Turzai, R-Allegheny, said in the final throes of the debate. Democrats criticized the proposal. “My advice to Pennsylvanians ... is don’t get old, don’t get sick, don’t try to educate kids, don’t be unlucky enough to be disabled, don’t try to find a job, don’t try to catch a bus and don’t try to find a non-deficient bridge,” said Rep. Joe Markosek of Allegheny County.
MINNEAPOLIS — Millions of smartphone users will soon begin receiving text messages about severe weather from a sophisticated government system that can send a blanket warning to mobile devices in the path of a dangerous storm. The new Wireless Emergency Alerts system gives the National Weather Service a new way to warn Americans about menacing weather, even if they are nowhere near a television, radio or storm sirens. Beginning Thursday, the system will notify people about approaching tornadoes, hurricanes, blizzards and other threats. When a warning is issued for a specific county, a message of no more than 90 characters will cause late-model smartphones in that area to sound a special tone and vibrate. Users do not have to sign up for the service or pay for the text message. And people who prefer not to get the warnings can opt out of the system. “These alerts will make sure people are aware of any impending danger and provide them with the information needed so they can be safe until the threat is over,” said Amy Storey, spokeswoman for CTIA-The Wireless Association, an industry trade group that helped set up the system. The system does not yet work with all smartphones or in all areas. It is part of a broader alert network the Federal Emergency Management Agency launched in April that can also send publicsafety warnings from the president and participating state and local governments. But the weather service estimates that more than 90 percent of the messages will be about storms. The weather warnings will include tornadoes, hurricanes, typhoons, tsunamis, flash floods, extreme winds, blizzards and ice and dust storms. Designers were concerned about overloading users with too much information, so they deliberately limited the messages to warnings. Wireless carriers serving almost 97 percent of U.S. subscribers have agreed to participate, including the biggest nationwide companies — AT&T Inc., Verizon Wireless, Sprint Nextel Corp. and T-Mobile USA.

HEALTH CARE OVERHAUL DEBATE
Area doctors see bitter pill or right medicine Gov’t’s role condemned, praised
By JOHN P. ANISTRANSKI Times Leader Intern
Reactions of area physicians to the Supreme Court’s ruling to uphold federal health care reform were mixed, with some lamenting the law’s empowering of the federal bureaucracy and others applauding its expansion of health-care coverage to the uninsured. Retired general and thoracic surgeon Dr. Victor F. Greco of Drums, 85, said the court’s declaring the law constitutional had no bearing upon its harmful impact.
“It may be constitutional, but we’re now looking forward to rationed care and a further deterioration of health care,” Greco said. He said this deterioration will come from the increased government involvement in determining medical treatment. “They already have in law a medical care committee,” Greco said. “They will determine the parameters of care following diagnoses, only allowing physicians to run certain tests or use certain drugs.” Dr. Frank C. Polidora, 63, of Hazleton, brought an end to his
Decision a big relief for insurers Blue Cross, Geisinger officials say mandate will aid the sickest. By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com
While not taking sides on the Affordable Care Act itself, a high ranking official at Blue Cross of Northeastern Pennsylvania said the insurer was “relieved” the Supreme Court’s ruling left the health care reform law intact rather than stripping provisions from it. “The worst outcome,” said Kim Kochler, vice president of government affairs for the Wilkes-Barre-based insurer, “would have been striking down the mandate.” That mandate, which requires most Americans to have health insurance on Jan. 1, 2014, or pay a penalty, is critically Kochler important as it will create a larger pool of payers, many of them younger and healthier, to support the cost of care for those who need it. “That decision is important because having as many individuals as possible in the health insurance pool, especially healthy individuals, is necessary for the other market reforms included in the federal health care reform to work as intended,” Kochler said. “If you have a lot of people in the pool,” said Duane Davis, the chief executive officer of The Geisinger Health Plan, “there’s a better chance it will work.” Wilkes University Health Care Management Professor Justin Matus said the ruling that upheld the law in whole pleased health insurers across the nation. “It keeps their business models viable,” Matus said. Davis said Geisinger has been implementing the law’s requirements since it was passed in 2010 by including coverage for children and some adults with pre-existing conditions and allowing children up to age 26 to remain on their parents’ policies. The ruling affirms Geisinger and other health insurers have been doing the right thing, he said. “We have long supported health reform that improves access and consumer protections, covers all Americans and includes a mandate,” Davis said. Kochler said Blue Cross also has been preparing since the law was passed in 2010 and will continue meeting the targets and deadlines. She noted that nonprofit Blue Cross, unlike many for-profit insurers, has always covered pre-existing conditions. The law, she said, brings all insurers onto “an even playing field” with the Blues. According to the federal government, 11 percent of Pennsylvanians, 1.37 million people, are uninsured. When they need health care, the providers must absorb the cost, which in turn raises insurance rates for those who are covered. The mandate and law as a whole aim to help curb this, Matus said. He said that like Social Security, the system will have younger, healthier people paying into something they’re not likely to use until they’re older, so essentially “they’re paying it forward.” “God knows at the end of their lives they’ll be using more than what they’re paying into it,” said Matus, of Harveys Lake.

He said it is wrong that his medical decision-making be shackled by bureaucratic mandates. “To be a physician, you have to make a moral choice, but this law takes away the freedom of the physician to work for his or her patient,” he said. “Bureaucrats are making this up as they go along,” said Polidora about the law’s implementation. Dr. Nicholas Giordano, 76, for-

mer president of the Luzerne County Medical Society, disagreed with these harsh assessments. He cited the law’s efforts to alleviate the undue burden placed on local hospitals by the uninsured. “A lot of uninsured people, even in the case of a common cold, visit the emergency room,”
said Giordano. “A hospital is obligated by law to care for these people.” “If these people now hold some kind of inGiordano surance, they will not be as much of a burden on hospitals,” he said. “I see the law as a win-win.” Cornelio Catena, the chief executive officer of Commonwealth Health, composed of Berwick Hospital Center, First Hospital, Mid-Valley Hospital, Moses Taylor Hospital, Regional Hospital of Scranton, Special Care Hospital, Tyler Memorial Hospital and
Wilkes-Barre General Hospital, agreed with Giordano’s assessment. “We’re also pleased that expanded coverage will reduce the burden of uncompensated care on our hospitals and others across the nation. Our hospitals provide medically necessary emergency care for anyone who needs it, regardless of whether the patient has insurance or the ability to pay for services. Expanded coverage will help to ensure that hospitals are reimbursed for the essential services they provide, making our nation’s health care system stronger for the benefit of everyone,” Catena said.
COURT Continued from Page 1A
the judgment that allows the law to go forward. He explained at length the court’s view of the insurance mandate as a valid exercise of Congress’ authority to “lay and collect taxes.” The administration estimates that roughly 4 million people will pay the penalty rather than buy insurance. Congress called the payment a penalty, not a tax, but Roberts said the court would not get hung up on labels. Among other indications it is a tax, Roberts said, “the payment is collected solely by the IRS through the normal means of taxation.” “Because the Constitution permits such a tax, it is not our role to forbid it, or to pass upon its wisdom or fairness,” Roberts said. Stocks of hospital companies rose and some insurance companies fell after the ruling. The decision should help hospitals by adding millions of people to the rolls of the insured, expanding the pool of health care consumers. But by the same reasoning, insurance companies will also gain millions of premium-paying customers. The court found problems with the law’s expansion of Medicaid, but even there it said the expansion could proceed as long as the federal government does not threaten to withhold states’ entire Medicaid allotment if they don’t take part. Justices Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor joined Roberts in the outcome. Justices Samuel Alito, Anthony Kennedy, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas dissented. Kennedy summarized the dissent in the courtroom. “In our view, the act before us is invalid in its entirety,” he said. The dissenters said in a joint statement that the law “exceeds federal power both in mandating the purchase of health insurance and in deny-

ing non-consenting states all Medicaid funding.” The justices rejected two of the administration’s three arguments in support of the insurance requirement. Roberts agreed with his conservative colleagues that Congress lacks the power under the Constitution’s commerce clause to put the mandate in place. “The federal government does not have the power to order people to buy health insurance,” he said in a part of his opinion that the liberal justices did not join. But his crucial bottom line was: “The federal government does have the power to impose a tax on those without health insurance.” In all, the justices spelled out their views in six opinions totaling 187 pages. Roberts, Ken-
nedy and Ginsburg spent 51 minutes summarizing their views in the courtroom. No end to the fight The legislation passed Congress in early 2010 after a monumental struggle in which all Republicans voted against it. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., said Thursday the House will vote July 11 on whether to repeal the law, though such efforts have virtually no chance in the Democratic-controlled Senate. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said the health care law makes it harder for small businesses to hire workers. “Today’s ruling underscores the urgency of repealing this See COURT, Page 14A
RALLY Continued from Page 1A
Calling it a “landmark decision,” Anthony said the law, once fully implemented, will lead to a healthier nation as more people will receive preventative medicine and routine checkups. By the time many see a doctor, which is often in an emergency room, the procedures are invasive and costly, she said. Roxanne Pauline, a union activist from Taylor who has been organizing rallies in support of the law since it was passed, said she cried Thursday. “I knew I was going to cry either way,” Pauline said, but instead of tears of frustration she shed tears of jubilation. “It’s a big day,” she said. “This was great news.” Some supporters of the ruling and the law’s premise believe the act serves more as a Band-Aid for the health care crisis in the United States rather than a cure. “The decision … is a modest step in the right direction to address the health care crisis in the U.S. Yet despite much of the debate surrounding the law regarding access to health care for the un-

insured, the much larger crisis in our health care system is ‘the crisis of the insured,’ ” said Bill Cruice, executive director of the Pennsylvania Association of Staff Nurses and Allied Professionals, the union that represents nurses at Wilkes-Barre General Hospital. Others, like U.S. Reps. Tom Marino and Lou Barletta, found the decision disappointing but not the end of the
fight to bring an end to what they call “Obamacare.” “Despite the Supreme Court’s ruling, Congress must continue to chip away at the most egregious and unpopular provisions of Obamacare in hopes of achieving a full repeal. The House has already voted 30 times to fully repeal, defund or dismantle parts of Obamacare,” said Marino, R-Lycoming Town-
ship. Barletta said, “Health care decisions should be made between a patient and a physician based on the patient’s needs, not a federal bureaucrat based on the bottom line. This decision only reinforces my resolve to repeal Obamacare and replace it with reasonable, effective solutions.” While the politicians fight it out, the chief executive officer of the region’s largest health system, said the patients and health care providers will have a great burden lifted thanks to the law and the ruling upholding it. “The U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark decision upholding the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will make health care accessible for millions of Americans who don’t have health insurance today. That’s good news for people who will be able to visit doctors, utilize hospital services, and obtain preventive health care,” said Cornelio Catena, head of Commonwealth Health. The system, a subsidiary of large hospital operator Community Health System, includes Wilkes-Barre General Hospital, Berwick Hospital Center, First Hospital, Mid-Valley Hospital, Moses Taylor Hospital, Regional Hospital of Scranton, Special Care Hospital and Tyler Memorial Hospital.

HEALTH CARE OVERHAUL DEBATE
A HOPED-FOR REPRIEVE Millions of us are already benefiting
Key ruling eases some local worries Locals demonstrating on Public Square feel seniors and others will benefit from law.
By ALEX KANE RUDANSKY and TONY PUGH McClatchy Newspapers
By JOHN P. ANISTRANSKI Times Leader Intern
WASHINGTON -- Having survived its most serious threat, the 2010 health care law moves forward, dented and dinged by the Supreme Court’s forensic-style ruling but still standing as the most comprehensive, costly and controversial overhaul that the nation’s fractured medical system has ever known. “This is truly a hallelujah moment for families across America,” said Ron Pollack, executive director of the liberal health advocacy group Families USA. “It means families will get the peace of mind that health coverage and care will be there for them when they need it.” While the bulk of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act’s most meaningful provisions won’t take effect until 2014, millions of Americans already are benefiting from the sweeping legislation that provides consumers unparalleled leverage in their dealings with health care providers and insurers. Later this summer, nearly 13 million Americans will receive $1.1 billion in rebates from insurance companies -- an average of $151 for each family policy -- because of the law’s requirement that at least 80 percent of insurance premiums paid by consumers must go for medical care or quality improvement measures. Insurers that don’t meet the standard must pay a rebate to their policyholders by Aug. 1 for the difference, either in cash or by a reduction in premiums. The health care law also requires plans with dependent coverage to insure adult children up to age 26. A government report found 3.1 million young adults gained health coverage because of the provision. From September 2010 to December 2011, the percentage of young adults ages 19 to 25 with health insurance has increased from 64.4 percent to 74.8 percent. They include people like 21-year-old Abby Schanfield of Minneapolis. Schanfield was born with toxoplasmosis, a rare parasitic infection, which forces her to undergo regular brain and eye surgeries, and she could eventually lose vision in one eye. “Needless to say, my health insurance is very expensive, and being able to be on (my parents’) plan until I’m 26 is a source of security that I’ve never really known before because my life is very uncertain,” Schanfield said recently. “The future is very uncertain.” Schanfield wants to be a community organizer, and her new health coverage under the law gives her “more time to access a job and determine where I’m going in the future,” she said. The court decision also continues the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan, a temporary program that already extends coverage to more than 67,000 people who

can’t get private health coverage because of ailments like cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure and asthma. The program is slated to end in 2014, when the law bars insurers from denying coverage or charging more to anyone based on their health status. The pre-existing program has helped people like Marlys Cox of St. Petersburg, Fla., who contracted hepatitis C when she was 13 years old. In February, Cox, 57, paid for a mammogram and found out she had breast cancer. At the time she was uninsured. “When I tried to go to the hospital, they all turned me away because I had no insurance and I am not below the poverty level,” she said. “They told me to go home and die. One suggested I go get hit by a car so I could be admitted to the emergency room.” Now, Cox pays $376 a month for insurance, down from $1,100 a month. “I never thought I would get to live a full life because of not having health insurance or not being able to afford it,” she said. “I believe that President Obama saved my life.” One of the most important changes is the prohibition against annual or lifetime limits on benefits paid to policyholders who have major illnesses. Ed Burke of Palm Harbor, Fla., was born with hemophilia and contracted HIV and hepatitis C from a blood treatment. His costly treatment and medications have forced his wife and 11-year-old daughter to go uninsured. Under the law, Burke’s family will receive coverage, and he will not have to worry about exceeding his coverage payout limits. “This means I will be able to access the health care I need to stay around and watch my daughter grow up,” Burke said.
WILKES-BARRE -- Standing among a band of demonstrators on Wilkes-Barre’s Public Square on Thursday, John Thomas of Wilkes-Barre, 59, reflected on the significance of President Obama’s signature health care law to his 89-year-old mother-inlaw’s battle with kidney disease. A warehouse worker at T.J. Maxx in Pittston Township, Thomas hoped the law would help his ailing loved one receive the kidney injections Thomas that would help return her to health. “My mother-in-law used to get kidney shots every few weeks. Medicare restricted it to three or four weeks,” said Thomas. “She’s now deteriorating, fatigued and sickly.” Still, he believed the lower health care costs and protections for patients with pre-existing conditions promised by the Affordable Care Act would help his mother-in-law’s condition improve, even with restricted Medicare co-payments. “We won’t have to worry about her health care costs through Blue Cross/Blue Shield,” he said. “And she won’t have to worry about getting cut off because of her condition.” Christine Hasselman of Scranton, 60, echoed other demonstrators’ sentiment that the law would assist area seniors. An employee of Scranton’s Golden Living Center nursing home, she hoped the law would make brand-name medications more affordable for the home’s patients. “I feel a lot of relief for my residents,” Hasselman said. “I’m happy that they will be able to afford the medicines they need. They’ve been prescribed brandname medications and could not access them.” But Tracy O’Kane of Edwardsville, a 47-year-old forklift operator at T.J. Maxx, was mostly concerned that other Americans have equal access to the valuable health care benefits she receives. “I have to take blood thinners, so I’m very thankful for my insurance,” she said. “I think that all should have access to the same quality of health care.”
OFFICIALS, HOPEFULS WEIGH IN Political leaders and those running for federal office released statements on Thursday’s Supreme Court ruling that upheld most of President Barack Obama’s health care reform law.
U.S. Rep. Tom Marino 10th District
Marino, R-Lycoming Township, said the law puts the nation on exactly the wrong path by increasing health care costs for families and small businesses, and it threatens an individual’s ability to keep employer-sponsored insurance coverage. “The simple truth is that President Obama, his liberal allies in Congress and the special interest groups who wrote Obamacare brought us to this point by ignoring the will of the American people and the principles on which our nation was founded.”
Phil Scollo 10th District candidate
Scollo, a Democrat from Dingman Township, said the insurance mandate on individuals is bad policy. “Powerful interests like the big health insurance companies got their way with his health care bill,” School said. “That is the type of
corrupt political system I am running to reform. A system where powerful lobbyists and corporations have more power in Washington, D.C., than the rest of us do.”
Matt Cartwright 17th District candidate
Cartwright, a Democrat from Moosic, said he applauds the Supreme Court for ruling to leave the act intact because it will ensure that all Americans have access to affordable health care. “But the fight is not over,” he said. “President Franklin Delano Roosevelt explicitly included in his 2nd Bill of Rights in 1944, ‘The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health.’ As a member of Congress, I will work to make sure that his vision becomes a reality.”
Laureen Cummings 17th District candidate
Cummings, a Republican from Old Forge and a Tea Party activist, has opposed the law and called the ruling a victory, and said it’s a law she hopes will be repealed. “Today, the American people and the Tea Party can claim a victory with the Supreme Court’s narrowing of the powers of the commerce clause and calling out
Obamacare for what it really is: yet another tax. “In recognizing the individual mandate as a tax, the Supreme Court has clarified to the American people that the Obama Administration has no problem in further punishing Americans with yet another massive tax burden, even in the midst of what President Obama claims to be the biggest economic crisis since the Great Depression.”
U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta 11th District
Barletta, R-Hazleton, said the decision is a victory for big government, and he will continue to support efforts to repeal it. “For two years, we’ve seen the devastation President Obama’s health care law has leveled on our economy. Its confusing provisions and mandates are making it harder for small-business owners to grow, expand and hire, and that has slowed our economic recovery,” Barletta said, adding that he thinks “senior citizens will be hurt by Obamacare because it cuts $500 million from Medicare.”
Gene Stilp 11th District candidate
Stilp, a Democrat of Middle
Paxton Township, said he thinks the decision was good one because it protects citizens who have preexisting conditions, those who change or lose their jobs and others. “It is unfortunate that the Republican Congress has already scheduled a vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act on the week of July 9th,” he said. “This law has now been approved by every branch of government and is settled law.”
Tom Smith U.S. Senate candidate
Smith, a Republican from Plum Creek Township, expressed his disappointment with the court’s ruling and chided his opponent, Sen. Bob Casey, D-Scranton, for continually supporting it. “Today’s unfortunate decision strengthens our resolve to defeat Senator Casey and President Obama in order to repeal and replace a disastrous law that has ballooned the debt, increased the cost of insurance and eroded freedoms. Health care decisions should be made by doctors, patients and their families, not by government
bureaucrats.”
U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey Pennsylvania
Toomey, R-Zionsville, called the court’s ruling goes against the nation’s historical traditions of limited government. “I am extremely disappointed. Today’s decision is a jarring blow to our 200-yearold tradition of constitutionally limited government and personal liberty,” Toomey said. “The Supreme Court’s decision doesn’t change the fact that President Obama’s health care law is a terrible policy that will impose new taxes, increase the cost of health care and cost our country jobs.”
U.S. Sen. Bob Casey Pennsylvania
Casey, a Democrat from Scranton, is the only current member of Congress from this area that voted for the law in 2010. The county’s two House members and state’s second senator all lost reelection bids in 2010. “The fact that this law was upheld
means that Pennsylvanians will not lose their coverage due to preexisting conditions, young adults will be allowed coverage under a parent’s plan and older Americans will not have to face dramatic increases in prescription drug costs. … There is no doubt that we still confront significant challenges to reducing the cost of health care, and the only way to address these in the long run is for Democrats and Republicans to work together.”
Gov. Tom Corbett Pennsylvania
Corbett, a Republican who was Pennsylvania’s attorney general at the time the law was passed, joined 12 other state attorneys general in filing suit against the law. “It appears that the Supreme Court agreed with the lawsuit brought by myself and 12 other Attorneys General finding Obamacare unconstitutional under the Commerce Clause of the Constitution, however they did uphold the law under Congress’ taxing authority. Despite the president’s repeated assertions that this was not a tax, the Supreme Court today ruled that it is in fact a tax. Not only is it a tax, but it may turn out to be one of the largest tax increases in the history of our nation.”

FORT BRAGG, N.C. - One soldier was fatally wounded and two others injured in a shooting at Fort Bragg on Thursday afternoon. During a unit safety briefing around 3:30 p.m., a soldier shot and killed another member of the unit before turning the gun on himself, according to Fort Bragg officials. A third soldier nearby was also "slightly" injured. NBC News, citing a "senior U.S. defense official," reported Thursday evening the dead soldier was a battalion commander. A spokesman for Fort Bragg earlier had said that the names and ranks of the three soldiers, all members of the 525th Battlefield Surveillance Brigade, had not been released, pending notifica-

faces and rushed into the Convenient Food Mart armed with a pistol on Dec. 21. The gun was shoved against a clerk while the two men demanded money from the cash register and cigarettes. A money bag held by another store clerk was taken during the robbery, the criminal complaints say. Byrd was identified as a suspect in the robbery during a joint investigation involving state police, city police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. City police said Byrd admitted to the robbery at the Convenient Food Mart when he was questioned on April 30, the complaint says. State police previously charged Byrd with robbing the Turkey Hill in Hazle Township and the Uni-Mart/ Exxon service station in Freeland, allegedly getting away with money and cigarettes. State police said a gun was used in the two robberies. Tysheed Laron Hargrove, 19, address unknown, was charged with his alleged role with Byrd in robbing the UniMart/Exxon service station, according to arrest records. Byrd is scheduled for a preliminary hearing related to the Convenient Food Mart robbery on July 5.

Gov. Tom Corbett’s Advisory Commission on Postsecondary Education held its fifth regional public meeting on Thursday at Genetti’s in Wilkes-Barre.
Panel gets its homework
Better access to education tough subject By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com
WILKES-BARRE – Amid erudite and pragmatic talk of college value, cost and regulation, Janet Ritter stood up and cut to the core. “My husband and I are both unemployed,” the Hummelstown resident told the Gov. Tom Corbett’s Advisory Commission on Postsecondary Education. “I want to go back to school. I can’t afford it, yet I can’t compete for jobs because I don’t have the skills.” Demurring on her age while admitting she attended college “many years ago,” Ritter told the panel meeting in Genetti’s Hotel & Convention Center she wanted to start with one class to make sure she could afford and handle it. Then she urged members to consider the importance of affordable higher education in small doses as well as large. “College is not right for every student,” she said, “but lifelong learning is vital.” Ritter’s comments came at the end of comments and questions by commission members and guests, including Tim Gilmour, who made one of his last public appearances as president of Wilkes University. “I’m retiring tomorrow, so you may get a little candor here,” Gilmour said. “I may step on some of the toes around this table.” Colleges and universities
WILKES-BARRE – A city man charged in connection with the kidnapping and beating of a woman in December 2010 was sentenced Wednesday to three to six months in county prison.

Bernsdorf’s attorney, Brian Corcoran, said his client remained in a bedroom inside his Monroe Street home while four other men assaulted Joan Rosengrant. “I’m sorry for what occurred,” Bernsdorf said. “I was in bad company.” Prosecutors say Bernsdorf, Ronald Cottle, 36, Timothy Buckner, 34, Kevin Lewis, 24, and Young Williams, 40, all of Wilkes-Barre, were charged after Rosengrant was punched, stunned with a Taser and had boiling water poured on her feet on Dec. 30, 2010 into Dec. 31, 2010 over MEN’S an 18-hour period.

need to find ways to cut costs and curb tuition growth, Gilmour said, and the commission – charged with recommending changes to the state’s higher education policies to Corbett – could promote that effort by suggesting state aid be used to award colleges that make those cuts. Luzerne County Community College President Thomas Leary stressed collaboration among high schools, businesses and two-year and four-year colleges. When Commission Chairman Rob Wonderling, CEO of the Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce, asked if community colleges should “take ownership” of high school career and technology centers, Leary quipped, “The last thing I wanted to do was create a headline here.” His answer evoked chuckles. Leary said there needs to be much smoother pathways between such centers and further education, including communi-
ty colleges, trade schools and four-year institutions. “My sense is it’s not done in the mainstream,” Leary said. “It’s done in pockets, and it’s done well in some places, but it is not done everywhere.” People urged the commission to get more input from high school guidance counselors, students and college faculty. Several, including Gilmour, said the state should study and pursue the possibility of shifting state funding from institutions and to individual students. Comments also touched on the dramatic changes technology may bring to schools, the need to update training frequently so students learn what their chosen field requires, and the increasing cost of providing amenities students never thought of decades ago but demand now. Mark Guydish can be reached at 829-7161.
had skyrocketed. Bills from Lupas, who has been charged with running an investment scheme unrelated to his board work, had risen sixfold in three years. A forensic audit of those bills is being conducted and should be finished next month, Toole said. Toole told Kadluboski there is no contract. After the meeting, Business Manager Leonard Przywara said the budget includes a $200,000 line item for solicitor services and nothing for an assistant solicitor. This year’s budget, by comparison had included $225,000 for solicitor and $200,000 for an assistant. The board also awarded a contract to G. Weinberger Co. of Scranton to install a new water main line at Meyer’s High School at a cost of $289,000, substantially less than the estimated cost of more than $400,000. The move should finally plug a long-standing underground leak. Despite numerous attempts with different equipment, the leak could not be located. The company will install a new main line above ground and shut off flow to the leaking line.

away students from enrolling at the school which awards associate degrees, he added. “I don’t think there was ever any question about the quality of education,” Leary said. A three-member team of evaluators from similar schools visited the campus in March to review the steps LCCC was taking to address the issues. Their findings were submitted to a committee and onto the commission for full review which determined the school was in full compliance with 14 standards of excellence. LCCC next has to provide the commission with an update by Dec. 1, 2013, of the school’s compliance. The school’s next review is in 2016, said Leary.

OUR OPINION: YOUR WELL-BEING
Don’t leave health in Congress’ care
H
ONESTLY, IT’S enough to make you sick. During the raucous reaction to Thursday’s Supreme Court ruling on the Affordable Care Act, partisans in one camp heralded the 5-4 decision as salvation for the nation’s sickly while the other camp construed the majority opinion as the death knell of the Constitution. A more healthy analysis – the sort Americans deserve to hear – would suggest that the Obama administration’s legal victory, while posing welcome relief to the previously uninsured, is no cure-all for America’s confusing, costly and alltoo-often ineffective medical system. Gaps in coverage still will leave millions exposed to financial catastrophe. Meanwhile, meeting the legislation’s many mandates could prove too expensive for the country to bear. Parts of the reform package will need to be tweaked, or tossed. This Congress, however, seems incapable of acting in your best interests, especially if it requires concurring on some middle ground. So, while those inside the Washington
beltway dawdle and disagree for disagreement’s sake, most of the rest of us can at least agree on these points: We don’t care to deal with insurance companies. And we want to avoid the hospital. That said, here is some “affordable” health care advice: • Your feet. Use them regularly to go for a walk or run. Too many of us in Northeastern Pennsylvania are overweight, putting us at risk for serious and potentially deadly ailments including diabetes, heart attacks and strokes. • Your plate. Stop loading it with so much meat. Our typical, high-cholesterol diets contribute to many maladies, including a regionally high incidence of colon cancer. • Your bad habits. Conquer them. This region’s residents traditionally imbibe in too much alcohol and enjoy their “cancer sticks.” Why put yourself – and your family – through the agony of liver disease or lung cancer? • Your television. Turn it off and go exercise, particularly if the talking heads’ prattle about “Obamacare” is raising your blood pressure. It’s your only life; live it well.
QUOTE OF THE DAY “Obama might have his law, but the GOP has a cause.” Terry Holt The veteran Republican campaign adviser on Thursday predicted that the Supreme Court’s ruling upholding President Obama’s health care program will galvanize GOP members to work more fervently toward its repeal.
OTHER OPINION: PAY RAISES?
Money tight, unless you’re a lawmaker
W
HILE THE state budget is being hammered out in Harrisburg, an early read of how it looks paints a decidedly mixed picture of the state’s priorities. For example, some harsh and damaging cuts have been restored – like money for higher education and some money for basic education. But other cuts are still in place – like the elimination of the generalassistance grant that gives $200 a month to the disabled, to domestic-violence victims and to recovering addicts. Here’s the ugliest part of the picture: Lawmakers are setting aside enough money for their own additional compensation that could be more than twice the amount of those general-assistance grants. That’s right: The House Appropriations Committee on Wednesday advanced a budget that sets aside funding for legislators’ automatic cost-of-living adjustments, or COLAs. That means that we taxpayers will provide an extra $300,000 for senators’ salaries, and $1.4 million for House members’. That’s enough for $6,000 more for each senator, and $7,000 for each member of the House EDITORIAL BOARD
(those figures include benefits, like pensions, as well as salaries.) Bear in mind, this is a Legislature that already is very overpaid. A 2010 survey by the National Conference of State Legislatures found that Pennsylvania’s Legislature had the fourth-highest base salary in the nation (it’s now $82,026) – and that’s before you get to the many benefits and perks our lawmakers have generously granted themselves. No doubt the Legislature will point out that these raises are statutorily required. But this just begs the question of why Pennsylvania still has this particular statute, which was passed in 1995 and calls for an automatic raise to kick in each year on Dec. 1. Gov. Tom Corbett’s budget proposal this year called for flat funding for legislators’ salaries, and an overall cut to the Legislature of about $12 million. Not enough for one of the most expensive legislatures in the country, but a start. The budget the House detailed this week includes the raises and restores $11 million of the cuts.

Pittston board blamed for raising school tax
A
nother shameful display by the Pittston Area School Board. For the second year, its members are raising our taxes seemingly without looking for alternatives. They praise themselves by saying they didn’t have to lay off anyone. Did they get any concessions from the union? It is easy not to lay off anyone when you put the burden of balancing the budget on the backs of the taxpayers. I guess we will have to consider joining Mr. Frank Sciabacucchi and withhold taxes this year. Let’s see what they do if enough people join in and they do not have the money to pay the teachers. Everyone in the district should get on board. They have to stop this nonsense and quit taxing people out of their homes. Carl Homish and Mary Anne Homish Pittston Township
Help ‘Nuns on the Bus’ with its traveling protest
R
ecently, U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan’s comments defending his proposed federal budget on Christian grounds were challenged by the faculty of Georgetown University, a Catholic institution. In April nearly 90 Georgetown faculty members and administrators penned a letter in advance of his appearance. Part of that letter reads: “Cuts to anti-hunger programs have devastating consequences. Last year, one in six Americans lived below the official poverty level and over 46 millions Americans – almost half of them children – used food stamps for basic nutrition. We also know how cuts in Pell grants will make it difficult for low-income students to pursue their educations at colleges across the nation, including Georgetown. At a time when charities are strained to the breaking point and local governments have a hard time paying for essential services, the federal government must not walk away from the vulnerable.” A Catholic myself, I also thought the federal government shouldn’t “walk away from the most vulnerable” either. So I applaud the efforts of Sister Simone Campbell, the executive director of NETWORK, a Catholic social justice lobby based in Washington, D.C. On June 18, a dozen sisters led by Campbell hopped aboard a bus to tour nine states; it’s called Nuns on the Bus. They are unified against government budget policies that cause harm to the poor. The sisters’ bus tour ends July 2. People interested in getting involved may donate online at this website: www.networklobby.org. Christine Lockavich Kingston

Change a teen’s future; give her a summer job
S
chool is out and summer jobs are in. But are they? Unfortunately, the job market for teenagers has nearly evaporated in the past decade. During summer breaks of bygone years, traditionally a time to get work experience and extra cash, many teens manned cash registers and mowed lawns. Today, according to a report by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, fewer than three in 10 American teenagers are able to find summer jobs. These jobs are not simply about earning money for gas, concerts or cellphones. Jobs for teens, whether in the summer or year-round, provide our young adults with tremendous opportunities to learn about the working world, prepare for their future careers and get ahead of their peers who spend their time hanging with friends during summer break. As business owners, managers and employees, we all have the responsibility to help provide our future workforce with the opportunity to get that experience. Whether it is a summer job, part-time after school job, internship or job shadow, these experiences can teach our young adults about accountability, respect, time management, a good work ethic, specific areas such as journalism or running a business, and most important, responsibility. At Junior Achievement, our programs help students make informed, intelligent decisions about their futures and foster skills that will be impactful in the working world. Annually, our network of corporate and community volunteers deliver Junior Achievement programs to more than 4 million students in 176,000 classrooms around the country, during the school day and in after-school settings. The comprehensive curriculum, developed in partnership with education experts, reinforces and supplements classroom activities. We can help connect you with teens in our community who have been through our programs and are ready for real-life work experiences. We also can help you set up a job shadow or internship program. Our challenge to businesses – large or small – is to consider summer programs for teens. Join Junior Achievement in our efforts to empower and equip the next generation with the confidence and skills needed to succeed in today’s global economy and workforce. Whether it be a fully

I have news for you, ladies: You were champs before you ever left Nanticoke for Bloomsburg. You made the Wyoming Valley proud, and each of you needs to be proud of yourself. You displayed class, integrity, dignity and courage. You exemplified what sports(wo)manship is all about. Now it’s time to show your character through adversity. Being a champion on the field is nice, but being a champ in life is so much more important. So thank your coaches, parents, teachers and supporters every chance you get. You earned many well-deserved memories that you will be able to pass along to friends, family and your own children and grandchildren someday. Thanks for a great and exciting season!

If GOP plan wins, we’ll all lose, area Dems say Budget proposal means cuts in services to most vulnerable and tax hikes, group says.
By STEVE MOCARSKY smocarsky@timesleader.com
WILKES-BARRE – With Coughlin High School as the backdrop, four Democratic elected officials and a congressional candidate on Thursday sharply criticized the Republican state budget plan. Their message: The proposals are bad for everyone – except big corporations and the natural gas industry – and will force increases in school property taxes. Saturday at midnight is the deadline for the Legislature to adopt a 2012-13 budget, and Democrats are pushing hard to sway public opinion against the agenda of a GOP-controlled Legislature and Republican governor. “The budget that (Gov.

So my first message is to senior citizens of Northeastern Pennsylvania: When your school … property taxes go up even though you’re on fixed incomes, Gov. Corbett did this to you,” Cartwright said.

the Senate, and they are the ones who want this bill to be passed.” Donna Morgan, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Public Welfare, said the letters that were sent to Hart, Giovagnoli and thousands of others were draft letters that were inadvertently sent prematurely. Morgan said the letters are not valid unless and until amendments to the Public Welfare Code are made in conjunction with the passage of the 2012-13 state budget. She said DPW posted a notice stating such on its website and contacted all county assistance offices to inform them of the error, but she said no other notices would be sent to General Assistance recipients. She also noted the changes, if adopted, are expected to affect about 61,000 General Assistance recipients. Pregnant women and single mothers can still receive the assistance she said, adding that medical assistance will not be cut to former recipients. But “medical assistance only goes so far,” Giovagnoli said. “If you don’t have cash assistance, how do you pay your co-pay for your medication? … I’ll have to go to the hospital just to get it.” Giovagnoli said the funding cut actually gives disabled women incentive to become pregnant so they can qualify for assistance. “It is their only source of income and (eliminating it) greatly impacts their ability to find safe, suitable housing,” Ruth’s Place Director Kristen Topolski said of General Assistance. “People who are on it and living in incomebased apartments on the $205, how are they going to pay their rents? They’re going to end up in a homeless shelter,” she said.

BELLEFONTE -- Jerry Sandusky may be in prison, but that hasn’t brought an end to his pension payments. The convicted child molester retired from Penn State as an assistant football coach after the 1999 season. According to the State Employees’ Retirement System, he received a lump sum retirement payment of $148,272 upon retirement. Along with that, he has been getting monthly payments. He is currently receiving $4,904 a month. Between September 1999 and June 2004, he had been receiving $4,615, according to SERS. The payment increased because he was eligible for a cost-of-living adjustment at that time. He was an active SERS member from March 1969 to the end of June 1999. Sandusky was earning an average of $101,787 when he retired. If he dies, his survivor will get a monthly annuity that’s about half what he is getting now. The only way SERS is allowed to stop making payments to a participant is if the recipient is convicted of what is known as an Act 140 crime. Legislation is pending in the General Assembly that would change that, including a bill from GOP state Rep. Fred Keller. "The current list of offenses which trigger forfeiture of a public pension is not broad enough in scope," Keller said in a news release
drilling and pipeline industry, comes at a time when those and other corporations are getting $275 million in state tax breaks. “Let’s be realistic,” said Exeter Councilman Larry Dellegrotto. “Everyone needs to share the burden of these tough economic times. But Republicans want to let their corporate friends off the hook while the middle class families and workers pay the price. … By focusing on small business, not large corporate interests, Democrats believe the middle class must come first by making everyone pay their fair share.” Wyoming Mayor Bob Boyer said his biggest concern is a 10 percent cut to human and social services. “You’re going to see that spill over in the streets,” he said. “Prisonsneedfunding,butwhen you divert funding to prisons, that’s where we’re going to see the implications.

harmful law in its entirety,” he said. But Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said “Passing the Affordable Care Act was the greatest single step in generations toward ensuring access to affordable, quality health care for every American, regardless of where they live or how much money they make.” House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi cast the decision as vindication for her work to secure passagage. “This decision is a victory for the American people,” she said. After the ruling, Republican campaign strategists said Romney will use it to continue campaigning against “Obamacare” — the name the GOP gave the plan In derision, though many Democrats now accept it — and in attacking the president’s sig-
nature health care program as a tax increase. “Obama might have his law, but the GOP has a cause,” said veteran campaign adviser Terry Holt. An added safety net More than eight in 10 Americans already have health insurance. But for most of the 50 million who are uninsured, the ruling offers the promise of guaranteed coverage at affordable prices. Lower-income and many middle-class families will be eligible for subsidies to help pay premiums starting in 2014. There’s also an added safety net for all Americans, insured and uninsured. Starting in 2014, insurance companies will not be able to deny coverage for medical treatment, nor can they charge more to people with health problems. Seniors also benefit from the law through better Medicare coverage for those with high prescription costs, and no copayments for preventive care.
But hospitals, nursing homes, and many other service providers may struggle once the Medicare cuts used to finance the law really start to bite. Illegal immigrants are not entitled to the new insurance coverage under the law. Challenge for the states The health care overhaul focus will now quickly shift from Washington to state capitals. Only 14 states, plus Washington, D.C., have adopted plans to set up the new health insurance markets called for under the law. Called exchanges, the new markets are supposed to be up and running on Jan. 1, 2014. People buying coverage individually, as well as small businesses, will be able to shop for private coverage from a range of competing insurers. Most Republican-led states, including large ones such as Texas and Florida, have been counting on the law to be overturned and have failed to do the considerable spade work needed to set up exchanges.
ended up selling everything to survive because my health wouldn’t let me work anymore. I’m in … my third appeal for Social Security Disability and SSI. They’re telling me because I have so much education that I can still continue to work,” Hart said. But, Hart said, she can’t. “It doesn’t matter how much education you’ve got; if your body’s shot, your body’s shot. My hips are gone – I’m down to boneon-bone with no cartilage, I have arthritis in my lower back, I have a pinched sciatic nerve, all of this from years and years of work, and she’s done the same work,” Hart said, gesturing to her friend, Patty Giovagnoli. “We’re both CNAs (certified nursing assistants), and that takes a toll on your body, and she has a lot more health issues than I do.” Giovagnoli, 49, said she, too, was preparing to move into an efficiency apartment, but she won’t be able to pay rent without cash assistance until and unless her disability appeal is successful. “Without this cash assistance, I’m going to be stuck in a shelter for months. And half the women in here are going to be stuck. There’s going to be a line outside the door waiting to come in here,” Giovagnoli said. Hart said she spoke with employees at the offices of state Rep. Phyllis Mundy and state Sen. John Yudichak, “and they didn’t have any answers because they are still fighting (the cut to general assistance). They are definitely against it. But the Republicans own everything in the House and
Youth the next focus for Building Bridges initiative
By SUSAN DENNEY Times Leader Correspondent
WILKES-BARRE – The Building Bridges initiative that began after the shooting death of Tyler Winstead had its last meeting Thursday night. But according to the leaders of the initiative, the work is just beginning. City Administrator Marie McCormick opened the work meeting with praise for the organizers of the initiative, the Rev. Michael Brewster and the Rev. Shawn Walker. “They deserve so much credit. They stepped up. There are going to be good things coming out of Building Bridges,” she said. In his remarks, Walker reminded the group of the event that prompted the community into action. “None of this would have happened if that young man had not been killed. I promised (the family) that his death won’t be in vain,” he said. Winstead, 14, was found shot in front of
117 Hill St. on April 5. He died from a gunshot wound to the chest at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center. Walker said that this movement was changing the city. “I want to live well,” he said. “But I want to live well right here in the city of WilkesBarre.” Brewster announced the next step in the initiative -- a big youth meeting at 7 p.m. July 26, at the Catholic Youth Center. The organizers of the meeting are planning many incentives to attract a large turnout of young people. The youths who attend the next meeting will participate in group sessions seeking solutions to their own problems. “We’re going to come out with some solutions,” Brewster said. He said that the most successful group will win a $100 gift card for each participant. He also announced that the first 25 young people who register and stay for the entire meeting will receive a gift basket worth at least $50. He said every par-
ticipant will walk out with a gift. After a brief presentation by Wilkes-Barre police officer Phil Myers on safety and crime in the city, the attendees broke into focus groups. Their assignment was to find the top three reasons why there is violence among the youth of Wilkes-Barre. When the focus groups reassembled three top causes of youth violence emerged. The groups decided that family dynamics, lack of role models among school, police and city leaders, and a lack of respect for authority are major contributors to youth violence. The next step for those who came together after the tragedy of Tyler Winstead’s death is to seek answers from the youths themselves. Walker was optimistic about the meeting. He said it will allow the city’s young people to get to know each other and then get to work. “We want to hear from them,” he said.

Price said. “I couldn’t think of who could possibly be having a backyard fire at that time of night. I went outside and the smell got stronger.” Price said she called 911 on her cellphone and forced open a locked storm door. The interior door was open, she said. “The door was hot to the touch,” Price said. “After I opened it, the smoke just hit me in the face. When police showed up, I started yelling ‘There are people inside.’ ” Walko’s husband, Richard, was not home at the time of the fire.

WIMBLEDON, England — Rafael Nadal bumped into his unknown and unheralded opponent as they headed to a break between games. Perhaps it was incidental contact. At the previous changeover,

WILKES-BARRE – Holy Redeemer announced Pat Reece will fill the head football coach position left vacant when former coach Joe Ostrowski was arrested on child pornography charges in May. Reece previously served as the assistant head coach and defensive coordinator under Ostrowski last season. The FBI charged Ostrowski on May 8 with extortion and enticing a minor into sexually explicit conduct for Reece the purpose of producing and distributing child pornography. Ostrowski, who lead the Royals for just one season, remains incarcerated after being indicted by a federal grand jury. Prior to his one-year stint with the Royals, Reece served as the freshman football coach at Meyers in 2010. He formally coached Marion (Ohio) Harding High School’s freshman football team for several seasons before he moved to Pennsylvania. “We wanted a coach that demands respect, has independent qualities and brings a set of values to this program,� Holy Redeemer athletic director J.P. Aquilina said. “We wanted someone who could set a good example for the kids. We gave everyone a fair opportunity to stay with the program.� Reece seeks to return the Holy Redeemer program to the win column after two consecutive winless seasons. The Royals have lost their past 21 games, with their last win coming Oct. 31, 2009, in a 26-6 triumph over Nanticoke. Since the Catholic schools merger in 2007, Holy Redeemer has posted a 7-43 record. “One thing I have to do is look for positives,� Reece said. “The guys have gotten much stronger, faster. We’ll build on positives more from there. We’re going to

Yankees ride seven-run 4th inning to victory The Times Leader Staff
ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Scranton/Wilkes-Barre continued their winning ways defeating Gwinnett 11-5 in game two of their four-game series Thursday at Frontier Field. The Yankees (44-37) started off strong as leadoff man Chris Dickerson singled to get on first base.

Laird advanced to third after Cole Garnier singled, but was brought back home after a ground ball by Ramiero Pena, making the score
Mariano Medico, 16, of Shavertown has been golfing since he was he was 5-years-old, and he recently accomplished a feat that proves those years of hard work have paid off. Medico competed in the 98th Junior Boys Championship for the Golf Association of Philadelphia (GAP) at Torresdale-Frankford Country Club on June 25 and won the event. This accomplishment also earned him 2012 Junior Player of the Year honors with 200 points for the Junior Boys division of GAP. A junior for Holy Redeemer high school and member of the Fox Hill Country Club in Exeter, Medico decided to compete in the Junior Boys Championship for the first time after watching friend and fellow Fox Hill member Brandon Matthews win the championship last year. “I thought it would be cool to go back to back (with Matthews),” Medico said. “To go and bring it back to Fox Hill was really cool.” Competing locally can be a good way to earn experience and make a name for yourself, Medico said he also wanted to see what other competition was out there, especially in a place like Philadelphia.

second after a Mustelier single to right field. Cust was then walked allowing Joseph and Mustelier to advance one base each, making the bases loaded. On a sacrifice fly by Branyan, Joseph ran in to score, and Mustelier stayed at third, but would score in a Cervelli sacrifice fly, giving the Yankees an 11-1 lead. The Braves attempted a ninth inning comeback, as aJose Constanza single allowed Ruben Gotay to score, making it 11-2. Tyler Pastornicky then singled home two runs, and Constanza scored on an Ernesto Mejia single, giving the game its final score 11-5. John Maine (2-2, 6.55 ERA) got the win for Scranton/WilkesBarre while Julio Teheran (5-5, 4.50 ERA) suffered the loss for Gwinnett. Both teams will meet again today at 7:05 p.m. The Yankees will be starting pitcher Nelson Figueroa (4-2, 3.93 ERA) while the Braves will be starting Jose Lugo
(1-2, 3.72 ERA). Juan Cedeno, a 28-year-old, left-handed relief pitcher, was the only Yankee selected when the International League team was named for the July 11 Triple-A All-Star Game against the Pacific Coast League. Cedenois 2-0 with three saves and a 2.23 earned run average in 30 games. In 361⁄3 innings, Cedeno allowed 35 hits and 12 walks while striking out 36. Gwinnett

introduce them to some more opportunities that they might not have had in the past.” The Marion, Ohio, native becomes the fourth Holy Redeemer coach in as many years. Reece played defensive back and strong safety from 2001-03 at Division I-AA Youngstown State. He spent his freshman season as a running back for Akron in 2000. He played high school football at Marion Harding for current Ohio State assistant coach Tim Hinton. He is the school’s all-time leading rusher and scorer, and was twicenamed to the first-team all-Ohio squad. He moved to the Wyoming Valley in 2007 to work for New Covenant Christian Fellowship Church’s youth ministry in Wilkes-Barre. He is currently employed at the Commission on Economic Opportunities where he overseas family financial responsibility initiatives, SAT prep courses and after-school programs at Dodson Elementary School in Wilkes-Barre. Reece said that 40 players arrived to work out in the weight room on the day following Ostrowski’s arrest. “They exhibited a mentality that they were going to use the controversy as motivation for next season,” Reece added. “I told them it can’t get any worse than it is for them then. We’re
“I just wanted to go and see how I could compete against the kids in Philly and see if I could put my Medico name out there,” Medico said. After winning the tournament, Medico felt nothing but pure joy and happiness and that his victory came as no shock to him due to his hard work. “It wasn’t shock, but I was happy,” Medico said. “I knew I was playing good golf, and if I just played my game I knew I could have a good chance.” A champion golfer, Medico is looking to improve his game to ensure that he can keep up the great play. “You can never be perfect in golf,” Medico said. “I’m just gonna work on my iron game and my putting and work in the offseason. (I will) also work on my mental side of it and try to make my mind a little more suited for my golf game. If I can get my mind and body in sync, I can play really well.” Despite being his first year competing in such an event, Medico is no rookie to tourney pressure, having competed in golf tournaments since he was 13. Next year will be no different for he said he will be going back for the 99th Junior Boys Championship to defend his title and that he “Can’t wait!”
going to have to show we can make the school proud. “For me, my reaction was surprised. I had no words. I was angry and mad. I’ve been working with kids ever since college. It got to me. I enjoy working with kids, and it pains me to see anything happen to them like that.” Aquilina and the newly appointed coach addressed players and parents privately at the high school auditorium Thursday. Reece said the tone of the speech was to move past last month’s scandal. “I’m not going to talk about (Ostrowski),” Reece said. “My presentation is about setting the tone. I’m going to share the values I want to place in this program: family, academics, faith and then football.” Reece said he expects a smooth transition for the Royals. His brother, Jeff, served as the Royals’ freshman coach last season and coached in a similar style to how the Royals are expected to play this year. “One of the things we have to do this year is step up our rushing defense,” Reece stated. “Our defense needs to stop the run.” Aquilina said it “took a little longer than normal” to hire a coach and that Ostrowski’s arrest “didn’t play into any factor” during the interview process. “I’m just excited to be ready to get going,” Reece noted. “We’re going to see a lot of talent on this football team. They’re a great group of kids, and we’re going to put them in the right position to win some games.”

Phelps cruises to another win By PAUL NEWBERRY AP National Writer
OMAHA, Neb. — After a couple of epic duels with his biggest rival, Michael Phelps made this one look easy. Phelps stayed on course to swim eight events at the London Games, pulling away for a dominating win in the 200-meter butterfly at the U.S. Olympic trials on Thursday night. Phelps has locked up three individual events for London and he’s got two more to go in Omaha. Combined with a likely spot on all three relays, the 26-yearold from Baltimore would have a chance to duplicate his record from the Beijing Games if he doesn’t stumble over the last
four days of the trials. “The last 25 meters are pretty painful,” Phelps said. “I just wanted to get to the wall and secure another spot on the team.” Davis Tarwater led at the first and second turns, but there was never any doubt about Phelps pulling ahead in his signature stroke. He surged to the front on the third leg, his body slinking through the water like a dolphin, and was a body-length ahead of the field when he touched in 1 minute, 53.65 seconds. The real race was for second place – and another spot on the Olympic team. Tyler Clary, who lost out to Phelps in the 400 individual medley, rallied from behind for a time of 1:55.12.

Late games starting later in doubleheaders
The NFL announced a scheduling change Thursday. The league is shifting the start time of the second game of its Sunday TV doubleheaders by 10 minutes to ensure fewer fans miss any of the action on the field. The late afternoon matchups on CBS and Fox will kick off at 4:25 p.m. instead of 4:15. Late games not on that week’s doubleheader network will still start at 4:05. Because of the networks’ contractual obligations, fans in the past would sometimes miss the end of the early telecast or the beginning of the late one if the 1 p.m. game ran long. The broadcasters must switch to the start of the second game in the home teams’ cities even if the day’s first televised contest is still going on. For fans in other markets, that overlap means they don’t get to see the opening of the late game. During the 2009-11 seasons, 44 games lasted long enough to require part of the audience to be switched. Under the 4:25 kickoff, that number would have been reduced to 15. BASEBALL

Sixers surprise on draft day Philadelphia picks Harkless, then trades for Moultrie during a busy first round.
ended up in Philadelphia. “They told me they really liked me and that there was a really high chance they would pick me,” he said. “So it was definitely a great feeling, and I kind of had a gut feeling. The workout went really well. Afterward, I was talking to the GM and the coach, it felt really comfortable.” Andre Iguodala, who has long been the subject of trade rumors, is Philadelphia’s starting small forward. Harkless isn’t likely a candidate to replace him if he’s dealt this summer. Veteran Elton Brand, if he stays, and Thaddeus Young are the team’s power forwards. Harkless figures he could be on the floor with Iguodala and Young. “I can play different positions,” Harkless said, “and those guys can play different positions, so I think it will be great.” Harkless started all 32 games for St. John’s last season, scoring in double-figures 26 times, including seven games with 20plus points. Harkless had a career-high 32 points on 14-of-17 shooting against Providence and tallied 30 points and 13 rebounds at Duke. Overall, he recorded 11 double-doubles. “Going into the workouts, I showed teams how hard I work and how hard I compete,” Harkless said. “A lot of teams didn’t think I could shoot the ball and I showed the teams I could shoot the ball really well. I think I just left a good impression on Philadelphia.”

PHILADELPHIA — With an eye toward the future, the Philadelphia 76ers couldn’t pass up Maurice Harkless. The Sixers selected the St. John’s forward with the 15th pick in the NBA draft Thursday night, temporarily passing up an opportunity to select one of the big men most observers expected them to take. An hour later, they got that guy. After the NBA-champion Miami Heat selected Mississippi State forward Arnett Moultrie with the 27th pick, the Sixers acquired him for a second-round pick and a future first-rounder. Moultrie averaged 16.4 points and 10.5 rebounds last season for Mississippi State. The 6foot-11 Moultrie spent his first two college seasons at Texas-El Paso, where he averaged 9.3 points in 70 games. The 19-year-old Harkless was the Big East Rookie of the Year last year after averaging 15.5 points and 8.6 rebounds as a freshman for the Red Storm. “We felt this kid had too much potential to pass up,” team president Rod Thorn said. “He was our No. 1 choice. All of our basketball people felt this is a guy we should take for our franchise going forward for our future. In the long range, he has a chance to be an outstanding player, not just another player. His upside is tremendous.”

traded to Cleveland for a package that included No. 24 pick Jared Cunningham of Oregon State. Otherwise, it was the Wildcats’ night, starting with a hug between Davis and Kidd-Gilchrist after the first selection. “My arm was shaking and my hands were sweaty. Got up and hugged Michael, my best friend, wanted to hug him for a minute,” Davis said. “When my name got called, wanted to make sure he stayed close.” He did — following Davis as the next player to climb onto the stage and shake Commissioner David Stern’s hand. Kentucky got its fourth firstround pick at No. 29 with Marquis Teague, another freshman, who is headed to Chicago as a possible replacement for the injured Derrick Rose.

Sixers first-round pick Maurice Harkless played power forward at St. John’s but will start out at small forward as a pro.
Harkless, 6-foot-8 and 207 pounds, played power forward in college, but projects as a small forward at the next level. Thorn eventually expects him to also play the power spot. Harkless is versatile and has been lauded for his ball skills and footwork for a player his size. He struggled with his shooting from the perimeter, however. Harkless made 20 percent of his 3-pointers and only
68 percent from the foul line. Those numbers didn’t scare off Philadelphia. Harkless impressed the Sixers staff when he worked out at the team’s practice facility. “He made 37 of 50 3-pointers,” Thorn said. “He’s obviously working on his shot. His shot is fine. He just needs repetition with it. We feel he’ll be a good shooter.” Harkless wasn’t surprised he
two stars at the start of the night. It’s been a long time since a school made such an impact at the top of the draft. UCLA had the Nos. 1 and 3 picks in 1969, when Milwaukee took Kareem Abdul-Jabbar — then Lew Alcindor — and Lucius Allen went third to the Seattle SuperSonics. Davis will begin his pro career in the same city where he ended it with a national title. College basketball’s player of the year as a freshman was the Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four despite shooting just 1 for 10 from the field in the championship game, grabbing 16 rebounds and blocking six shots in the victory over Kansas. Davis slipped on a blue and purple Hornets hat above a conservative gray suit that took no attention away from basketball’s most famous eyebrow. Davis even attempted to capitalize on the attention his unibrow gets, trademarking “Fear The Brow” and “Raise The Brow” earlier this month. On the floor, Davis has the agility of a guard — and he was one only a few years ago.
The 6-foot-10 Davis averaged 14.2 points, 10.4 rebounds and 4.7 blocks, becoming a dominant defender after growing 7 inches from the start of his junior year of high school. A season after the Hornets traded longtime star Chris Paul, Davis is ready to be their centerpiece, since playing for the Wildcats means he’s already accustomed to plenty of attention. “Like I said, at Kentucky we had it all the time, especially the six who played, we had the spotlight all the time,” Davis said. “I think it really prepared me.” Charlotte, coming off a 7-59 season and the worst winning percentage in NBA history, had been open to moving the No. 2 pick if it found the right deal. Instead, Michael Jordan’s team went with Kidd-Gilchrist, whose selection by the Bobcats was loudly cheered, a sharp contrast from the boos Stern received when coming out to announce the picks. The new Charlotte swingman played in high school at nearby St. Patrick’s in Elizabeth, N.J., and fans chanted “MKG! MKG!” as he walked off the stage. Though he and Davis talked be-
fore the draft, they didn’t discuss the history the Wildcats were about to make. “No. I was shocked at first,” Kidd-Gilchrist said. “I was shocked. But no, we didn’t. We didn’t at all.” Florida’s Bradley Beal went third to Washington, making it three SEC freshman in the first three picks. Cleveland followed with the surprisingly early pick of Syracuse sixth man Dion Waiters at No. 4. Thomas Robinson of Kansas, who hoped to go second, fell to Sacramento at No. 5. Portland took Weber State’s Damian Lillard at No 6 with its first of two lottery picks, and Barnes was taken seventh by Golden State. After Washington’s Terrence Ross went to Toronto and Connecticut’s Andre Drummond to Detroit, the Hornets rounded out the top 10 by taking Duke guard Austin Rivers with a pick they acquired in the Paul trade. Rivers hugged his father, Boston coach Doc Rivers, who came to be with his family instead of with the Celtics, who owned two later first-round picks.
or destroyed more than $400,000 worth of items without permission of a bankruptcy trustee. Court documents said Dykstra gave false and misleading testimony under oath about what he did with some of the items he took from his home. Dykstra said he put an oven, sconces and chandeliers into a storage unit,

He also hid baseball gloves, balls, bats and other memorabilia from the bankruptcy court and creditors and sold them last year for about $15,000, court documents show. Dykstra is currently serving a three-year prison sentence after pleading no contest to grand

like he wanted to play in the fifth (set), you are in his hands, no? Everything was going right for him.” Been a long time It’s the first time since 2005 that Nadal lost in the second round at any major tournament. It also ends two streaks for the Spaniard: He reached the final at the previous five Grand Slams, and also reached the final the last five times he entered Wimbledon, winning the grass-court tournament in 2008 and 2010. “He played a good match,” Rosol said, “but I think I was better today.” Absolutely true. Actually, seven-time French Open champion Nadal came oh-
so-close to a straight-set exit. He barely avoided losing the opener, forced to erase three set points before taking it in the tiebreaker when Rosol plopped a gimme forehand into the net. Rosol took the next two sets, pounding serves, returning well and swinging away from the baseline. It was an aggressive approach, as though Rosol wanted to out-muscle the ultimate oncourt bully, right down to imitating the way Nadal sprints back to the baseline after changeovers. Even Rosol considered it stunning he was able to stay close, much less win. Asked afterward what his expectations had been, Rosol replied: “Just to play three good sets, you know. Just don’t lose
6-0, 6-1, 6-1.” They’re both 26 years old, yet Nadal entered the day with 583 career match wins, and Rosol 19. Nadal owns 50 titles, Rosol zero. In 178 prior Grand Slam matches, Nadal never had lost to a foe ranked 70th or worse. Qualifying his remarks In five previous visits to Wimbledon, Rosol lost every time in the first round of qualifying — not even the main event. Qualifying. This is only the Czech player’s second career tour-level event on grass; the first was two weeks ago. He thought Nadal was trying to throw him off in the third set with a bit of gamesmanship. First, after Rosol broke to go
CROSBY Continued from Page 1B
rio Lemieux said in a statement. The 2009 MVP has been limited to just 28 games in the last 18 months after sustaining a concussion in the Winter Classic against the Washington Capitals in January, 2011. Crosby finished with eight goals and 29 assists last season and added three goals in a first-round playoff loss to Philadelphia. He stressed throughout the playoffs he had every intention of remaining in Pittsburgh, where he broke in after being the top overall pick in the 2005 draft and quickly developed into the best player in the world, becoming the youngest captain in NHL history to hoist the Stanley Cup when he led the Penguins to the title in 2009. General manager Ray Shero said during last week’s NHL draft he expected Crosby to work with the team to give them some flexibility. Crosby opted not to take a raise over his current contract despite the prospect of the salary cap rising over the course of the next decade. The deal gives the Penguins leeway when free agency begins on July 1. Pittsburgh is targeting at least one high-profile forward after trading Jordan Staal to Carolina last week. Crosby is good friends with New Jersey Devils forward Zach Parise and the cap room cleared by the Staal trade and the trade of defenseman Zbynek Michalek to Phoenix puts Pittsburgh around $15 million under the expected $70 million cap for the 2012-13 season. It also gives Crosby and the Penguins peace of mind heading into the future. The team stuck by Crosby during his lengthy battle with concussions despite rumblings about his commitment as his absence stretched from weeks to months. At one point the players all donned “C”s on their practice jerseys as a sign of solidarity. The new deal means Crosby will be a part of the team’s core for the foreseeable future. Crosby was the best player in the world before taking head shots in consecutive games in January 2011 that forced him to sit out the rest of the 2010-11 season and an additional 60 games last winter. Center Evgeni Malkin blossomed in Crosby’s absence, winning the MVP and the Art Ross Trophy as the league’s leading scorer in 2011-12. While the sublimely talented Malkin gives the Penguins one of the league’s best one-two punches, there’s no issue over who will have the final say in the dressing room. Some Quick cash LOS ANGELES — Goalie Jonathan Quick has agreed to a 10year contract extension with the Los Angeles Kings. The Kings announced the agreement on Thursday for their Conn Smythe Trophy-winning goalie, who led Los Angeles to its first Stanley Cup championship earlier this month. Quick can’t sign the deal until Sunday, but he will be under contract through the 2022-23 season. Quick just finished a careermaking year. He was among the NHL leaders in many goaltending categories and made his first All-Star team while setting the franchise’s single-season records for shutouts, save percentage and goals-against average. Quick was even better in the postseason, winning 16 of the Kings’ 20 games with a 1.41 goalsagainst average and a .946 save percentage and three shutouts. ahead 2-1, Nadal complained to the chair umpire about something his foe was doing to bother him. “So do you think that’s fair?” Nadal asked. “Let me know.” At the following changeover, they crossed paths on the way to their seats, and Nadal offered a body-check. “He wanted to take my concentration. ... I knew that he will try something,” said Rosol. “I was surprised that he can do it on the Centre Court, Wimbledon, you know. It’s, like, something wrong.” Nothing fazed Rosol, especially down the stretch. Never showing a hint of nerves or inexperience, he was the one who seized control from the get-go.

Howard starts rehab with Claws By WAYNE PARRY Associated Press Writer
LAKEWOOD, N.J. — Ryan Howard went 2 for 4 with three RBIs Thursday night to start a minor league rehab assignment that the Philadelphia Phillies will watch closely as they determine whether they will be buyers or sellers at the trading deadline. The 32-year-old former NL MVP said he is no longer worried about his Achilles, and just needs to refine his timing and baserunning before being ready to rejoin the struggling Phils. Howard began the second inning for Class A Lakewood by grounding out to the right of the second base bag, where the West Virginia shortstop playing in a shift gloved it. But unlike last year, when he crumpled to the ground with a ruptured Achilles as the Phillies’
season ended in Game 5 of the National League Division Series, this groundout was full of promise. More than eight months after his injury was the defining image of the Phillies’ postseason failure, Howard was back on the field in the same Jersey shore stadium where he starred as a minor leaguer in 2002. “It felt good,” Howard said. “The running part was the biggest thing.” And on that score Howard pronounced himself good to go. “I didn’t really think about it,” he said. “Adrenaline kicked in. “I’m not worried about my Achilles at all.” In his second-inning groundout, Howard hustled down the first base line with no apparent difficulty. In the fourth, he hit a two-run single up the middle on the first pitch, then had to scam-

Pittsburgh
Viciedo socks Sox to win over Yanks blast and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Toronto Blue Jays 9-7 on Thursday night for their 14th victory in 18 games. Trout went 2 for 5, raising his American League-leading average to .345 as the Angels, who have won 25 of 33 overall, improved to 14-1 in their past 15 road contests. Toronto’s Jose Bautista hit his major league-best 26th homer, a three-run drive in the fifth, but it wasn’t enough as the last-place Blue Jays slumped to their third straight defeat. Albert Pujols had four of Los Angeles’ 14 hits. Dan Haren (6-7) allowed six runs and seven hits in six innings to win consecutive starts for the first time since May 29. Ernesto Frieri finished for his 10th save. Toronto left-hander Brett Cecil (1-1) lost for the first time in three starts.

AMERICAN LEAGUE ROUNDUP
NEW YORK — Dayan Viciedo hit a three-run homer off David Robertson in the ninth inning after a throwing error, and the Chicago White Sox rallied past the New York Yankees 4-3 Thursday night. Reliever Clay Rapada’s wild toss to second base on a potential double-play ball set up the AL Central-leading White Sox. With closer Rafael Soriano not available after pitching the past two games, the Yankees had their five-game winning streak end. Derek Jeter almost saved the Yankees in the ninth. But his bid for a two-out, two-run homer was caught by right fielder Alex Rios with his back against the wall.

PHILADELPHIA — A.J. Burnett threw 6 2-3 sharp innings to win his eighth straight start, Casey McGehee hit a three-run homer and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Philadelphia Phillies 5-4 Thursday. Pedro Alvarez also went deep for Pittsburgh, which split the four-game set in Philadelphia by winning the last two. The surprising Pirates, seeking their first winning season since 1992, are 40-35 and second in the NL central. Burnett (9-2) allowed three runs and six hits, striking out seven. It’s the first time a Pirates pitcher has won eight in a row since Dock Ellis in 1974. Joel Hanrahan tossed a scoreless ninth for his 20th save.

T H I S D A T E I N B A S E B A L L June 29 1916 — The Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds played a nine-inning game with just one baseball. 1923 — Brooklyn’s Jacques Fournier went 6-for-6 with a home run, two doubles and three singles as the Dodgers beat the Philadelphia Phillies 14-5. 1937 — Chicago Cubs first baseman Rip Collins played an entire game without a putout or an assist. 1941 — In a doubleheader against the Washington Senators, New York’s Joe DiMaggio tied and then broke the American League record of hitting safely in 41 consecutive games. DiMaggio doubled in four at-bats in the opener and singled in five at-bats in the nightcap to break the record set by George Sisler of the St. Louis Browns in 1922. 1968 — Detroit’s Jim Northrup hit his third grand slam in a week as the Tigers beat the Chicago White Sox 5-2. 1990 — Dave Stewart of the Oakland A’s pitched the first of two no-hitters on this day, beating the Toronto Blue Jays 5-0 at the SkyDome. Fernando Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Dodgers duplicated Stewart’s feat by throwing a 6-0 no-hitter against the St. Louis Cardinals. It was the first time in major league history that two no-hitters were pitched in both leagues on the same day. 1995 — The Dodgers’ Hideo Nomo struck out 13 Colorado Rockies in a 3-0 victory, giving him 50 strikeouts in four games. That broke the Los Angeles record of 49 over four games, accomplished three times by Sandy Koufax, the last 30 years earlier. 2003 — Eric Byrnes hit for the cycle as Oakland beat San Francisco 5-2. 2004 — Randy Johnson of the Arizona Diamondbacks became the fourth pitcher to record 4,000 strikeouts when he struck out San Diego’s Jeff Cirillo in the eighth inning of the Padres’ 3-2 win. 2007 — Barry Bonds hit his 750th career home run in San Francisco’s 4-3, 10-inning loss to Arizona. 2007 — Aubrey Huff hit for the cycle in Baltimore’s 9-7 loss to the Los Angeles Angels. Huff tripled in the second inning — his 1,000th career hit — doubled in the fourth, hit a three-run homer in the fifth and singled in the seventh.

Italy’s Mario Balotelli scores the first goal during the Euro 2012 semifinal match between Germany and Italy in Warsaw, Poland, on Thursday.
SPARTA, Ky. — Even as he traveled the world racing cars, Michael Waltrip always had a soft spot for his old Kentucky home. On Thursday, the two-time Daytona 500 winner unveiled a car honoring his favorite college team. Waltrip was at Kentucky Speedway, site of this week’s NASCAR races, to reveal a new paint motif on the Michael Waltrip Racing No. 55 Toyota that pays homage to the University of Kentucky national champion basketball team. “When I was a kid growing up, I used to sit in my home in Owensboro, Ky., and watch the replays of the Kentucky games after the 10 o’clock news,” Waltrip said. “Mom and Dad would let me stay up late on those nights so I could watch my team play. They’ve been my team my whole life; I’ve never cheered for another team. To be able to race this car and honor the program is a real blessing.” UK’s mascot and athletic director Mitch Barnhart were on hand as a black cover was pulled off the blue-and-white car to re-
Powerful Germans fall to Italians
Home Polish fans cheer for victorious Italy in semifinal showdown against Germany. By ANDREW DAMPF AP Sports Writer
WARSAW, Poland — Mario Balotelli finally showed some quality finishing, scoring twice Thursday to give Italy a 2-1 win over Germany and an unexpected spot in the European Championship final. Extending its winless streak against Italy in major tournaments to eight matches, Germany had no answer for Balotelli nor Antonio Cassano’s creativity. In the 20th minute, Balotelli had no trouble getting past Holger Badstuber to head in a pinpoint cross from Cassano. Then in the 36th, the 21-year-old striker received the ball behind the de-
fense and blasted a long shot into the top right corner. While he did score against Ireland, Balotelli was criticized for wasting numerous chances against Spain, Croatia and England. Germany failed to trouble Italy for much of the match, but Mesut Oezil scored on a penalty kick in injury time after Federico Balzaretti was whistled for a handball. Italy will face defending champion Spain in Sunday’s final in Kiev, Ukraine — a rematch of their 1-1 draw that opened Group C. While Italy has won four World Cups, it’s only European Championship came in 1968. Like when they won the1982 and 2006 World Cups, the Azzurri have managed to maintain their focus despite a match-fixing and betting scandal at home. On a pleasant evening at the National Stadium Warsaw, Cas-

sano set up the opening goal by befuddling Germany defenders Mats Hummels and Jerome Boateng to lift the ball in Balotelli’s direction. The second goal began with a long vertical pass from Riccardo Montolivo, whose mother is German. Balotelli collected the pass with his back to the goal, controlled the ball with his chest and then sprinted forward and unleashed a blazing shot from the edge of the area as Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer again stood immobile. Balotelli took off his jersey after his second goal, which drew an automatic yellow card, al-
though he will not miss the final. Even before scoring, Italy controlled the pace of the match, although Germany did have several chances from Hummels, Toni Kroos and Oezil. In the 35th, Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon preserved the Azzurri lead by swatting away a long shot from Sami Khedira — and Balotelli doubled the lead a minute later. To start the second half, Germany coach Joachim Loew brought on Miroslav Klose for Mario Gomez at center forward and replaced Lukas Podolski with Marco Reus on the wing. With Germany appearing slightly more organized, captain Philipp Lahm had a great look at the goal in the 49th but shot way over the bar. Buffon made another impressive save in the 62nd, leaping to push a free kick from Reus off the bar.
veal several national championship logos. Like at a movie premiere, dozens of photographers snapped photos. “To the victors go the spoils, and this is one of the spoils,” Barnhart said with a laugh. No Big Blue players were around, largely because six were expected to be taken Thursday night in the NBA draft. Like a carpool Waltrip is driving the car this week. He shares the ride with Mark Martin and Brian Vickers. At Talladega, MWR driver Clint Bowyer’s car featured a University of Alabama national football championship paint scheme. But because of Waltrip’s lifelong allegiance to the Wildcats, it was clear that he was thrilled to be behind the wheel of the Kentucky-themed car. “Dale Junior’s pretty big-time and when he won that race in Michigan it was a crazy event,” Waltrip said, referring to the popular Earnhardt’s win two weeks ago that ended a 143-race winless streak. “You drive this Kentucky car into Victory Lane in Kentucky — it could possibly top that.”

Van Pelt spins his way to lead

The Associated Press
BETHESDA, Md. — Bo Van Pelt kept bogeys off his card and picked up an extra shot when his wedge spun back into the hole for an eagle. It’s a formula that would work well at a U.S. Open, which is what Congressional felt like Thursday in the AT&T National. On a day when the temperature was in the 90s and only seven players managed a score in the 60s, Van Pelt opened with a 4-under 67 to grab a one-shot lead over Vijay Singh, Brendon De Jonge and Jimmy Walker, who bogeyed his final hole. Tiger Woods was never under par in the afternoon and opened with a 1-over 72. So this is what the U.S. Open was supposed to look like. The venerable Blue Course took a beating last year in the so-called toughest test in golf when unfavorable weather conditions in the weeks leading up to the U.S. Open and overnight rain during the championship made Congressional a pushover. Rory McIlroy had a record score of 16-under 268 for an eight-shot victory. The AT&T National was more of a grind. Senior Players Championship PITTSBURGH — Bruce Vaughan shot a 6-under 64 on Thursday to take a one-stroke lead over Fred Funk in the Senior Players Championship, the third of five Champions Tour majors. The 55-year-old Vaughan matched the lowest round of his career and tied the first-round record in the event. Fred Couples, the winner last year at Westchester Country Club in Harrison, N.Y., was two strokes back at Fox Chapel along with Tom Lehman, Michael Allen and Joe Daley. Greg Norman opened with a 67 in his first Champions Tour event since 2009.

NW Arkansas Championship ROGERS, Ark. — Stacy Lewis says she is ready to take on top-ranked Yani Tseng. Lewis, ranked No. 2 and a two-time winner this year, hopes to continue building her resume while closing in on Tseng this weekend in the NW Arkansas Championship at Pinnacle Country Club. The course is a familiar one for Lewis, who played at the University of Arkansas — about 20 minutes to the south — and unofficially won the rain-shortened event as an amateur in 2007. Lewis won her first major title at the Kraft Nabisco Championship last year and has finished in the top five in each of her last five events, including the two victories. Tseng, seeking her third straight victory in the event, has struggled lately after winning three of her first five tournaments this season. Irish Open PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland — France’s Gregory Bour-
dy and India’s Jeev Milkha Singh shot 7-under 65 on Thursday to share the first-round lead in the first round of the Irish Open, while home favorite Rory McIlroy was five strokes back after a sloppy finish at Royal Portrush. Bourdy was in one of the last groups of the day in the round that was delayed by rain and lightning. McIlroy, the U.S. Open champion, bogeyed two of his last three holes for a 70 on the Dunluce Links. Fellow Northern Irish stars Graeme McDowell and Darren Clarke shot 71. Englishmen Mark Foster and Andrew Marshall were a stroke back along with Australia’s Matthew Zions, Sweden’s Oscar Floren, Finland’s Mikko Ilonen and France’s Edouard Dubois. Ireland’s Padraig Harrington had a 67. John Daly opened with a 70, and Keegan Bradley had a 73. The European Tour said organizers had to put sold-out signs up at a regular tournament for the first time after 27,000 tickets were sold for each day’s play in Portrush.

Hospital stocks get a boost
B R I E F
JPMorgan losses may soar
Shares of JPMorgan Chase & Co. tumbled Thursday as a published report said the bank’s losses on a bad trade may reach as much as $9 billion — far higher than the estimated $2 billion loss disclosed last month. In May, JPMorgan said the loss came from trading in credit derivatives designed to hedge against financial risk, not to make a profit for the New York bank. A JPMorgan representative declined to comment. JPMorgan plans to give more details related to its losses when it reports second-quarter earnings on July 13.

WASHINGTON — Hospital stocks rose sharply Thursday after the Supreme Court guaranteed them millions more paying customers by upholding the core of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul. Some insurance company stocks fell in choppy trading as investors fretted about the costs of rules included in the law. “For the hospitals, it means that they get payment and they get more potential customers,” said JJ Kinahan, chief derivatives strategist for TD Ameritrade. Insurers “have to be less selective of their clients, which is bad for them,” he said. The stock of Hospital Corp. of America, the largest private hospital chain in the United States, closed up 11 percent. Community Health Systems, which owns Wilkes-Barre General Hospital and two hospitals in Scranton, rose 8 percent. Quest Diagnostics, which runs laboratories, and Laboratory Corp. of America each gained about 3 percent. The ruling will add 32 million Americans to the rolls of the insured, vastly expanding the pool of health care consumers, said Jeffrey Loo, a stock analyst with S&P Capital IQ, a research group. Under the current system, about one-fourth of the care provided by hospitals is never paid for, either because debts go bad or because the patient is uninsured, Loo said. He said the law will cut the portion of care that is not paid for in half. However, Gary Taylor, a financial analyst for Citi Investment Research, warned clients that hospital stocks could “erase all their gains” from the court decision if Mitt Romney is elected president this fall. He has pledged to repeal the law. Many insurance companies fell sharply after the ruling was announced. They bounced around while reporters and analysts dissected the court’s ruling, and they later recovered some of the losses. UnitedHealth Group, the biggest insurer, closed up half of a percentage point. It had been down as much as 7 percent after the ruling. WellPoint plunged 8 percent, Aetna and Cigna nearly 3 percent.
More bad news for RIM
Struggling BlackBerry maker Research in Motion is reporting worse results than analysts had expected for its latest quarter, and says it’s cutting 5,000 jobs. It’s also delaying the launch of its new phone operating system, BlackBerry 10, on which it’s pinning its hope for a comeback. Research in Motion Ltd. lost $518 million, or 99 cents a share, in the quarter that ended June 2. This compares with a profit of $695 million, or $1.33 per share, a year ago. Revenue fell 43 percent to $2.8 billion.

Krispy Kreme seeks loyalty with sweet comeback
Jobless claims stagnant
By VICTORIA GUIDA McClatchy Newspapers
The number of people seeking U.S. unemployment benefits fell last week, but the level of applications remains too high to signal a pickup in hiring. The Labor Department said Thursday that weekly applications fell to a seasonally adjusted 386,000. That’s down from 392,000 the previous week, which was revised up. The four-week average, which smoothes week-to-week fluctuations, was nearly unchanged at 386,750.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Krispy Kreme, after years of financial losses and store closures, is once again expanding, with up to 25 new stores proposed nationwide through the end of next year. The expansion marks a change of course for the 75-year-old Winston-Salem, N.C.-based chain. Krispy Kreme hopes to tap into strong customer loyalty as it plots its comeback. After a period of rapid growth, the company ran into financial troubles stemming in part from legal problems and a tough economy. It eventually closed more than half of its stores. Now the company is recording profits again and is ready to expand, said Brian Little, spokesman for Krispy Kreme Doughnut Corp. “There is energy and excitement
Brazil lowers growth target
Brazil’s Central Bank has sharply lowered its forecast for the nation’s economic growth this year. The bank now estimates that Brazil’s gross domestic product will grow by 2.5 percent. That’s down from a March forecast of 3.5 percent. The bank blames the European financial crisis, which it says will continue for a “prolonged time.” It also notes that slowing growth in China adds to a scenario of increased economic turbulence.

Healthy living trends and competition from other chains, such as Dunkin’ Donuts and Starbucks, took a toll. More than 240 U.S. stores closed between 2004 and 2009, according to securities filings. With such a decrease in its U.S. presence, the company turned to international markets, where it has since begun growing in places like Japan, Mexico, the U.K., South Korea and the Middle East. Despite its budding growth, though, Krispy Kreme still faces tough competition. One of its biggest competitors, Dunkin’ Donuts, had a net income of $25.9 million during its most recent quarter -more than four times that of Krispy Kreme. Dunkin’, which went public last year, has maintained profits during the recession and continues to grow.
around the brand as we begin to re-engage with consumers and re-engage with our fans around the world,” he said. Krispy Kreme opened its first store in 1937 in Winston-Salem, growing gradually during its first decades. But by the ’90s, Krispy Kreme was ready to be more ambitious. Expansion picked up rapidly, and the company spread north, causing a bit of a sensation when it hit New York. GQ magazine rhapsodized about the company’s signature doughnut in 1996, calling it “the Appalachian love child of the soufflé and the croissant.” More growth followed after the company went public in 2000. At its height in the middle of the decade, it had opened more than 400 stores, according to securities filings. But the rapid expansion proved unsustainable.

The heat is on! The temperature will climb into the 90s this afternoon with only the outside chance of a stray shower or thunderstorm. It’s going to be a hazy, hot and humid day. The heat index will climb into the upper 90s. Take it easy outdoors and take frequent breaks when possible. The heat will stick around right through the weekend and so will a chance of a passing shower or thunderstorm. Overnight temperatures will remain warm as well with lows in the 60s. Have a great weekend! - Kurt Aaron
